we uh, had a...

difficult conversation about
some of the things in his past.

225
00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:52,138
>> Brooke: Oh, yes.
We are all very familiar

226
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:55,141
with that time.
It traumatized all of us,

227
00:12:55,207 --> 00:12:59,545
most importantly, you.
But Thomas did say that

228
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:03,816
he's been improving
and working on himself and...

229
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:06,585
he's a changed man.
We all would really love

230
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:09,021
to believe that.
>> Hope: I do.

231
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:15,661
I believe him.
>> Brooke: But you can't

232
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:20,132
feel that comfortable with
what happened in the past.

233
00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:23,435
I mean, I'm sure
it would be very difficult

234
00:13:23,502 --> 00:13:26,505

237
00:13:48,694 --> 00:13:52,865

the same way.

>> R.J.: You do?

240
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,913
>> Luna: We need to be alone
together. Please get a place

241
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:08,981

242
00:14:18,057 --> 00:14:19,558

about Brooke. She's just being

243

>> Thomas: You always say that.

244
00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:24,430
>> Ridge: I always say that
because it's true.

245
00:14:24,496 --> 00:14:27,933
She's not trying to sabotage
your relationship. Right?

246
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,568
>> Thomas: Brooke is entitled
to her opinion.

247
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:31,670
Sure. Everyone is entitled
to their opinion.

248
00:14:31,737 --> 00:14:33,706
But I don't really care about
anyone else's opinion.

249
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:36,208
All I care about
is Hope's opinion. Right?

250
00:14:36,275 --> 00:14:38,477
I-- I want her to know how
committed I am to her

251
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:41,313
and how much she can trust me.
>> Ridge: And...

252
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:43,115
she's on board with that.
I mean, she's forgiven you.

253
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:45,517
Right?
>> Thomas: She's-- she's trying,

254
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:47,853
you know, but-- but she's
not going to forget

255
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,022
everything from the past.
Right? That's impossible.

256
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:51,857
>> Ridge: Right, but she also
knows how much work

257
00:14:51,924 --> 00:14:55,227
you've put in
and she realizes that.

258
00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:58,931
>> Thomas: Yeah. Look, I would--
I would do anything for Hope.

259
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:02,668
>> Ridge: That's how I feel
about Brooke.

260
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:06,572
It sounds like it's real.
>> Thomas: Yeah.

261
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,608
You know, I-- I feel like
I've shown her

262
00:15:09,675 --> 00:15:11,543
the kind of love
that she deserves. I've--

263
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:15,814
I've told the truth about
every mistake I've ever made.

264
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:19,285
I've-- I've let her know that,
well, she has all the cards.

265
00:15:19,351 --> 00:15:21,687
Right? I put them all
on the table.

266
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:27,459
And she's the only woman for me.
There'd never be anybody else.

267
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:31,030
I think I can give her
the life she deserves.

268
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:36,168
>> Brooke: Well, it seems like
you've developed feelings

269
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:41,407
for Thomas.
I won't fight you on that,

270
00:15:41,473 --> 00:15:43,575
but I'm sure it's gonna be hard
for you to move past

271
00:15:43,642 --> 00:15:47,012
that chapter in your life.
One that Thomas was

272
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:51,250
a very big part of.
So it would be best

273
00:15:51,317 --> 00:15:56,855
for you to...
end it with him now.

274
00:15:58,991 --> 00:16:00,693
>> Hope: I know
you mean well, Mom.

275
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,162
But I don't intend
on doing that.

276
00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:05,831
>> Brooke: Honey,
I want you to consider

277
00:16:05,898 --> 00:16:08,100
what's best for you,
what's best for the children.

278
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:11,236
>> Hope: I have.
And yes, Thomas has--

279
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:14,039
he has made mistakes.
He has done some

280
00:16:14,106 --> 00:16:17,943
regrettable things
and he acknowledges that.

281
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:20,179
But I mean,
we haven't we all messed up?

282
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:25,384
I mean, I'm-- I'm not perfect.
None of us are.

283
00:16:25,451 --> 00:16:28,587
And Lord knows I'm the queen
of giving people 2nd,

284
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,290
3rd and 4th, 5th chances.
But what makes this

285
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:34,626
different, Mom,
is that it's not just

286
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:39,698
empty words and platitudes.
He's done the work.

287
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:43,369
And so I'm not just hoping that
maybe he's going to transform.

288
00:16:43,435 --> 00:16:48,240
I know he has.
He's backed it up with action.

289
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:50,876
>> Brooke: Oh, okay.
Um, you're acting

290
00:16:50,943 --> 00:16:53,645
a little strange.
I mean, you're not really

291
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:57,316
yourself right now, honey.
You're very uneasy.

292
00:16:57,383 --> 00:16:59,551
And if you don't want
to tell me what's going on.

293
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:02,087
That's okay.
I just want you

294
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:05,257
to trust your instincts.
If there's anything that

295
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:09,261
you doubt about Thomas,
anything at all, please...

296
00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:17,236
>> Hope: I don't doubt Thomas.
I think--

297
00:17:17,302 --> 00:17:21,306
I think he is
an exceptional designer.

298
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,943
I think he has stepped up
and proven himself as a father.

299
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:31,183
And, Mom...
He loves me unconditionally.

300
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,586
Which is all I have ever
hoped for.

301
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:38,223
So I know you hate to hear that,
but at some point, Mom,

302
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:46,131
you are going to have to stop
fighting this, please.

303
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:49,401
Is there any part of you
that can learn to accept

304
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:56,775
Thomas and me?
Because who knows...

305

what our future might--
might be?
