[ dramatic music ] >> Hope: I read everything
I could find about Emma's accident
and the police said that there were no witnesses.
And you're telling me that you were there?
You saw Emma's car go off the road and you said nothing.
>> Thomas: She was driving so fast.
>> Hope: You were following her!
>> Thomas: And we were both trying to get to you.
To this day, I am still horrified
about that night >> Hope: All this time.
>> Thomas: I have been trying to get it out of my mind.
>> Hope: So what so many people suspected of you...
you're actually admitting is true?
That you were on Mulholland the night that Emma died.
♪♪♪ >> Steffy: I love how protective
you are, but my brother isn't the threat
you think he is. >> Finn: Look, I can't just
ignore what Xander told me. He seems sure.
>> Steffy: That doesn't make it true, Finn.
>> Finn: So you're just really not concerned
that Thomas could be responsible for Emma's death?
>> Steffy: No, because the police already looked into it.
It was an accident, a terrible accident.
Finn, listen to me. Dredging this all up,
it isn't helping. I know my brother has changed.
He's learned from his mistakes. Finn, I promise you,
Thomas isn't a danger to anyone. You need to believe me.
♪♪♪
>> Finn: I hear you, all right? Thomas is your big brother.
You've spent years looking up to him.
>> Steffy: In a way, his mistakes hurt me
more than anyone. >> Finn: Well, maybe he hurt
someone else a lot more. Look-- look, Steffy,
I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I can see the stress
that this is causing you. >> Steffy: No, I understand
that you have questions. I get that you're concerned.
Xander just shows up here. He's a new patient
and he starts spewing all these accusations
against my brother. I get it. >> Finn: But that's just
the thing. It wasn't really like that. I mean, I had
to pull the story out of him. >> Steffy: It doesn't make
it true. There's no proof of
what Xander's been saying. >> Finn: I understand that, but
it's the way Xander reacted, okay?
Just saying your brother's name. It wasn't like
he was putting me on. He truly believes Thomas is--
is dangerous. >> Steffy: Well, he's not.
Xander is wrong. Don't listen to him.
Listen to me, your wife. ♪♪♪
>> Thomas: I'm so ashamed. I wish I'd come forward sooner.
I hated keeping this from you. I wanted to say something
so many times and you were so proud of me.
Encouraging and supportive. It terrified me
this would set us back, make you question everything.
And it doesn't change anything, you know. It--
Emma still died because of an accident.
But holding it in and holding it back from you,
not sharing everything with each other...
Yes, I was on Mulholland that night. I was there.
I saw Emma's car go right off the road.
All of that is true. But Xander is wrong, Hope.
I'm not a murderer. You know me.
You have to believe me. ♪♪♪
>> Finn: Look, I want to believe you.
I don't want to believe that Thomas might be capable
of murder. >> Steffy: He is not.
Xander and Emma were close. He was deeply affected
by her death. So he wanted to point
the finger at someone. >> Finn: He told me
Thomas threatened him. >> Steffy: Thomas has done some
very dark things in the past. You know that.
And Thomas would be the first person to admit that,
But hiding something as disgusting, as gruesome,
like a crime? He wouldn't do that.
He's worked so hard on himself. All this healing.
He's become a better father and Xander doesn't know any of
that because he hasn't seen it. He's basing this all
on the man he used to be. And even at Thomas's worst,
he wouldn't be homicidal. >> Finn: He was
desperate though. All he cared about was
getting close to Hope. And if he thought Emma was gonna
expose him, come between them? I'm just saying,
I know how he is, Steffy. Even recently, when I told him
that Hope and him should never be together.
>> Steffy: Was Thomas ever violent with you?
>> Finn: No. >> Steffy: Did you ever feel
as though, I don't know, you were in danger?
>> Finn: No. >> Steffy: Then what does
that tell you? I don't understand why you're
not trusting your instincts or trusting your wife.
And I don't know why you're trying to open this wound.
Yes, I am very protective and I will do anything
to protect my family, but I'm not giving Thomas
the benefit of the doubt because he is my brother.
I've seen that he's changed and I'm putting my faith in him
just like you should put your faith in me.
>> Finn: Okay. Come here. Look, honey...
Honey, I love you, okay? You and the kids
are my entire world. And if...
Look, if you need me to let this go, I-- I-- I will.
>> Steffy: So, you'll drop it? >> Finn: Well, if this is
causing you this much stress? Yeah.
Okay. I can let it go. >> Steffy: Oh, my God.
>> Finn: Yeah. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: Why are you telling me this now?
Hm? Is it because Xander's back?
>> Thomas He started up. He got Finn involved,
but I'm here because I want a life with you.
And there can't be any secrets between us.
>> Hope: Tell me again. How it happened.
I need to hear you say it again. >> Thomas: Emma and I argued
at the office. What are you talking about?
She demanded that I tell you about Beth.
Take a breath. >> Emma: I can't calm down.
I just overheard-- >> Thomas: I tried to reason
with her. I tried to make her see
what that would do to Steffy. >> Emma: Shouldn't Steffy know
the truth? >> Thomas: My sister loved
that baby girl so much. I just needed more time,
but she wouldn't listen. >> Emma: There's nothing you cn
do to stop me, out of my way. >> Thomas: No.
>> Emma: Move, now! >> Thomas: You're not
going anywhere. She was gonna find you.
She was gonna tell you everything
and I tried to stop her. But she jumped in her car
and she tore off. I thought I could get her
to pull over. She was just driving so fast.
She must have been, I don't know, trying to call you
or-- or-- or text you or something. I--
I honked, I tried to get her to slow down,
but she just went faster. And then I saw her head go down.
She must have been reaching for something.
And that's when she lost control.
She missed the turn, crashed through the guardrail.
Where she went over, no one would have survived.
I still have nightmares about it. I--
I hear swerving and the brakes. [ car crashing ]
And then not being able to do anything.
I'm haunted by it. But I did not
run her off the road. Hope, I swear to you.
I was there, but I didn't kill Emma.

>> Steffy: Look, I know
you're just trying to do the right thing.
>> Finn: Well, the right thing is for us to stay unified.
>> Steffy: Yeah. But it is okay if we disagree
and we have different opinions. >> Finn: Well, you're my wife
and Thomas is your brother. I respect that.
>> Steffy: I just wish you two could get along.
>> Finn: Look, I want to get back to that.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but if you have doubts about Thomas
Or you're troubled by what Xander said,
then I don't know where to go from there.
>> Finn: Look, what I need to remember and what I can't forget
is how much I love you and how much I missed you
and the kids when you were gone.
All those nights, I would lay awake just wishing
that you would come home. I promised myself that I would
never let anything come between us again.
So, if you don't want me to pursue this, I won't.
>> Steffy: Well I'm really happy to hear that.
We just have so many things going on.
Everything we've been through. Sheila, our time apart,
my grandfather, and now Hope and Thomas
are in a relationship. >> Finn: Look, there's been
enough turmoil. You're right. The last thing we
need is to go looking for more. >> Steffy: Especially when
everything's finally starting to turn around.
>> Finn: I agree. All I want is a loving,
supporting, peaceful family. Your brother included.
>> Steffy: Okay. ♪♪♪
>> Thomas: When I think back, it's like I'm remembering
someone else. A stranger who did
all those misguided things. He did it because he loved you
in a messed up way and he wanted to spend
his life with you. But I've done a 180 since then,
thanks to you. Your understanding,
your support. I've changed my ways completely.
When I look back, it's like I see
that man clearly, his selfishness and obsession,
but that doesn't exist anymore and he's never coming back.
Now, did I lie? Did I withhold the truth?
I handled that night and pretty much everything at that time
all wrong? Yes. I should have told you
what happened with Beth. But I was so caught up
in my own fear. And I don't want any
more secrets between us. Never again.
I don't want us to ever have to think about that night again.
Emma is gone and that is the real tragedy.
But can't we just focus on our own life
and our future together? >> Hope: I, uh...
I have to think about this. >> Thomas: Nothing
has to change. >> Hope: You chased Emma,
Thomas. You were on Mulholland
that night. You saw her go off the road.
She was my friend. She died trying to get to me.
Trying to tell me the truth about my daughter, about Beth.
Do I believe you're telling the truth, Thomas?
Yes. I do believe you.

>> Thomas: I'm sorry, Hope. I hate bringing up
these terrible memories. They're painful for me too.
I didn't want Emma to die. I tried to stop her.
You're disappointed in me. I am too.
I did love you then, but it was a messed up flawed
kind of love. I was confused.
But what I feel for you today is way different.
It's pure and it's healthy. >> Hope: Thomas...
We can talk about that another time.
>> Thomas: Look, I'm not asking you to accept the person I was,
but please believe in who I am now.
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you, Hope
I just want to put that horrible night behind us.
I promise I am committed to being the upstanding
man that you deserve. Someone you can truly love.
You've changed me from the man who did
all of those terrible things years ago

who's capable of honoring you and loving you.
I wanna be a good father. I wanna be a good husband
someday. The best designer for your line
and the right man for you. No more secrets, Hope.
I told you everything. I swear it's the truth.
And if you can't forgive me, just tell me you believe
that I'm a different man now. A better man,
better than I was before. Tell me you know I've changed.
It may have taken me a really long time to mature
and find confidence, but I have. To find true love.
It's all because of you. It's not obsession,
not like it was. I swear.
I just love you. I love you so much.
I want the world to recognize who we are today
and what we can be, moving forward.
I want to prove how good I can be.
