making this up. Look, you have to believe me.
Thomas is dangerous. He killed someone.

You know that. >> Steffy: Of course,
I know that. >> Thomas: Then tell Finn
to back off. To stay out of my relationship
with Hope and stop listening to Xander.
>> Steffy: Thomas, I understand why you're upset.
I don't want Finn dredging up all the horrible events
surrounding Emma's death either. >> RJ: You can, uh,
you can rest now, Granddad. They said they're all done.
That's all the tests for today. >> Eric: Good.
>> RJ: How are you feeling? You feeling any stronger?

Don't make me laugh. It's just so funny looking.

humor, thank God, is still intact.

to throw you off. I wasn't trying to be sneaky

Um, Angelo was kind enough to let me borrow this dress
from the archives. >> Zende: It's not the dress.
I can't take my eyes off of you. >> Steffy: Thomas, I completely
understand your frustration. And I told Finn
not to follow up on this. Told him to let it go.
>> Thomas: Okay, I don't think he's gonna let it go, 'cause the
way he was talking earlier-- >> Steffy: No, he will.
He's not gonna bring it up anymore.
>> Finn: You seem pretty certain about this allegation.
>> Xander: I am. I wouldn't be here
if it was just a hunch. And-- and now Thomas and Hope
are working together? I mean, they're in
a relationship? >> Finn: Yeah, I can hardly
believe it myself. >> Xander: Look, the fact
that Thomas knew that Beth was alive and told no one
was bad enough. But believe me,
he didn't stop there. >> Finn: Look, I need to know

how about some food? Do you want something to eat?
You know, I-- I saw the pudding, and the pudding looks...
Seriously, maybe I can sneak in some pizza, and we just don't

getting to know you, Luna. And I just wanna
get to know you a little bit better.
Dance with me? >> Luna: What? In these shoes?
>> Zende: Then take them off. >> Luna: What am I gonna do
with you? >> Zende: I can think
of a few things. But seriously,
I mean, there's nothing wrong with the two of us
having dinner together. All right, all right. I get it.
RJ is the golden child. Ridge Junior.
The son of Brooke Logan and Ridge Forrester.
>> Luna: Come on. RJ does not use
the nepo baby card. He's so modest
and down to earth. Besides, you guys are cousins.
You should be figuring out a way to be friends with each other.
Look, RJ does not want any problems with you,
and neither do I. Okay? I like you, Zende, but...
I have to go. >> Zende: Aww, don't leave.
>> Luna: Look, I'm dating RJ. >> Zende: Technically that means
you're still single, right? So am I.
Oh, come on. Just stay, hang out.
Enjoy the evening. Everything I have planned.
>> Steffy: I told Finn that Xander's probably making these
accusations to get back at you. >> Thomas: Do you know how
painful it is to know that your husband thinks I could
intentionally kill someone? >> Steffy: I made it clear
to Finn that it was a horrible accident.
One I wish we could put behind us.
>> Thomas: Right. But now he's throwing gasoline on the flames.
>> Steffy: This isn't Finn's fault.
He didn't intentionally go out to seek Xander.
They met by chance. >> Thomas: So Xander says.
But either way, Finn is listening to some random guy
instead of his brother-in-law. >> Steffy: He's just protective
of me, Thomas. >> Thomas: Steffy,
he told me that he believes I'm a bad person.
And now he's listening to some random stranger
who obviously has it out for me. >> Steffy: Finn met Xander
by accident. Once. Okay?
It is never gonna happen again. >> Finn: How dangerous
is Thomas? >> Xander: I mean, is there
anything worse than ending someone's life?
Look, I'm telling you, there's no limits with Thomas,
Dr. Finnegan. >> Finn: No, just--
just call me Finn. >> Xander: Finn...
Thomas will do anything to protect his own interests.
And now I see that he's getting closer with Hope.
And I've read all the stuff online.
It just gives me the creeps looking at the guy.
I don't know what she sees in him.
I've always admired Hope. She's got everything
going for her. You know, she's smart,
beautiful, successful. I don't know what the hell
she's thinking. >> Finn: Well, like my wife,
Hope buys into this new and improved Thomas.
>> Xander: Yeah. I don't know, man.
I'm worried about her. >> Finn: Yeah, me too.
But since I wasn't around back then, I'm not trying
to rush into any judgment. I'm trying to keep an open mind,
so you need to tell me what happened.
The details. Give me the details.
What exactly happened the night Emma Barber died?

How I'm doing. She's just there with me

My favorite restaurant in San Francisco.

But... I can't have dinner with you.

>> Zende: Are you sure? Well...
if I can't have dinner with you...
you can at least tell me who the better kisser is.

show interest in me. >> Zende: It can't be
too surprising. >> Luna: Well,
this whole experience, I mean, interning here.
The people I've met. Getting invited to a
romantic dinner like this. I mean, it's--
it's all beyond my wildest dreams.

any bad blood with your husband, But now he's trying to come
between me and Hope. >> Steffy: Finn probably felt
obligated to tell Hope after what he heard.
>> Thomas: Okay, well, now he's crossing a line though.
He's fanning the flames. And-- and Hope knows
about Emma's death and how much of a tragedy it was.
But I don't need Finn coming in and saying some crazy things
about me. >> Steffy: I hear you.
>> Thomas: Finn's worried about what I'll do to Hope.
Seriously? Me? I love Hope
and I never want to hurt her. >> Steffy: I trust you, Thomas.
>> Thomas: I know, and I know that you have issues
with Hope and me, our relationship, but...
this is about bringing up Emma's death.
Okay? I-- I had nothing to do with that.
>> Steffy: Look, I told Finn he can no longer communicate
with Xander. I'm on your side.
Okay? I believe in you.
>> Thomas: Thank you, Steff. >> Steffy: Yeah.
>> Xander: The night that Emma died, um...
Look, okay, I've-- I've put together
things that I heard from that night.
Things that I saw and that I know.
And, um, this is how I think it went down.
Emma confronted Thomas at Forrester.
>> Emma: Shouldn't Steffy know the truth?
>> Thomas: My sister is her mother.
>> Emma: No, she's not. Hope is her mother!
>> Thomas: Will you keep your voice down?
>> Xander: Told him that she wouldn't keep his secret
any longer. >> Emma: You can't stop me
from telling her. >> Xander: So Thomas
threatened her. >> Thomas: This is none
of your business. Don't push me, Emma.
I am dead serious. >> Xander: When she refused
to be intimidated, that's when she ran off to tell Hope
that her baby was still alive. That's when Thomas followed her.
>> Finn: So Emma was driving to Hope's to reveal the truth
about what Thomas had done? >> Xander: Yeah.
But Thomas made sure that Emma never got there.

>> RJ: This whole experience with you, you know,
getting sick, how hard that's been...
it just really showed me how valuable it was
to just have Luna there in my corner.

We'll have to play together sometime.

Okay, I won't push. >> Luna: Thanks.
And I really do hope that you'll respect my feelings for RJ.

about this though. >> Zende: About what?
That we spent some time in the salon together?
Some candles and music and a little impromptu
kiss on the cheek? You have to admit
it was a pretty good cheek kiss. >> Luna: I'm chill.
But all good things must come to an end, right?
>> Zende: Should I take that as a sign of encouragement?
>> Luna: Zende, I'm your friend. Okay? So no more secret notes
pretending to be RJ And no more tricking me

You're a great guy. You'll find someone.

but I found therapy, right? And-- and-- and ways
to center myself, practices. And I continue to do
those practices. I'm a new person now, Steff.
>> Steff: You just stay on that path, all right?
>> Thomas: I will. Look, I have turned
my life around. I have made amends.
I'm dedicated to being a good man, a good father.
But your husband, he doesn't believe that.
He looks at me like I'm some kind of monster.
Why can't he just show me the-- the tiniest bit
of grace or-- or understanding? >> Steffy: I get it. I do.
>> Thomas: Then call him off. I just want peace.
>> Steffy: I want that too. Emma's death is a very
dangerous, volatile subject. It is very important
that Finn leaves it alone. >> Xander: Like I said,
I wasn't there, but in my mind, I'm certain of how it went down.
Thomas chased after Emma in his car.
>> Emma: What are you doing? >> Xander: Forced her
to drive fast on Mulholland. Mulholland, it's a winding road
and it was dark. I'm sure Emma was terrified.
>> Emma: Get off my bumper, you idiot!
>> Xander: Thomas dangerously tailing her...
[ tires squealing ] ...right on her bumper.
>> Finn: What, you think Thomas ran her off the road?
>> Xander: Like I said, I-- I wasn't there, but...
when you put the pieces together.
>> Finn: I mean, yeah. It's no secret that Thomas
is a man with issues. >> Xander: Look, Thomas
threatened us. He bullied us.
I knew Emma, okay? She was a cautious driver.
The only thing that got her killed was trying to tell Hope
the truth about Beth. >> Finn: Okay, yes, but there
was a police investigation, and they found no foul play.
>> Xander: It was ruled an accidental death,
but I know better. I saw the security footage
from Forrester. I saw Thomas running to his car,
chasing after Emma. He went after her. I knew it.
So I checked his GPS system. Oh, my God.
He was at the scene of the accident that night.
>> Finn: You're sure? >> Xander: Positive.
But Thomas weaseled his way out of the investigation somehow.
>> Finn: But you still believe he's guilty?
>> Xander: Without a doubt. And as much as your wife
and the rest of her family doesn't want to believe it,
Thomas is a murderer. He's responsible
for Emma's death, so what are we gonna do about it, Finn?
We need to put an end to Thomas once and for all.
