to run away from your feelings for Finn.
And you're terrified of becoming just like your mother.
You didn't want to make the same mistakes.
Come on, Hope. Tell me that you see that.

I mean, are you excited? I mean, the big day'll

What big day? >> Eric: The day you exchange

>> Eric: A throng. >> Ridge: How many people
in a throng? >> Eric: I'm not exactly sure.

A small group of friends and well-wishers

>> Thomas: Hmm. >> Eric: You excited?
>> Thomas: Don't I look excited? [laughter]

I can't wait. >> Ridge: Hear, hear.

we can invite him to join us. >> Luna: Yes. I'd like that.
And R.J. would, too, I'm sure. >> Bill: Really?
I'm not R.J.'s favorite person. >> Luna: No. He knows how much
this means to me, finally finding my father
after all these years. He's been totally supportive.
>> Bill: Good. I'm glad. >> Luna: And he loves
that I'm happy, and what makes me happy is this.
My dad and my mom. My family. Nothing's ever gonna come
between us ever again. [Bill chuckles]

another case of cabernet out here, pronto!
>> Thomas: You know, Paris and I were thinking when we finally do
the ceremony, we might wanna do it
out by the pool. We could have
everybody in their swimwear, including the bride and groom.
What do you think? >> Eric: I think
that's an interesting idea. >> Thomas: Yeah.
It's very interesting. It's different, and I think
that Douglas would really love it.
>> Eric: You know, I have-- I have some shorts I like
that I wouldn't mind wearing. And I even have some
little black ones like your father used to wear
in the '80s. >> Ridge: Oh.
>> Eric: And Donna has dozens of suits to pick from.
I could probably wear one of hers,
though it might pull focus. >> Thomas: Granddad, you're
right. That would definitely pull focus.
I'm sorry. I don't know why I tried to put one
over on him. >> Ridge: You should know by now
that he's always gonna be one step ahead of you.

this whole engagement thing.
>> Brooke: I know you never wanted to be like me.
>> Hope: You're my mother. I look up to you,
and I have always admired your strength
and your accomplishments. It's just...
>> Brooke: It's just I haven't been a very good role model
in my personal life. And I know that.
I do. Especially when I was younger,
I was... very selfish.
I would do whatever I wanted, and I didn't care.
I hurt a lot of people-- my friends,
my family, my children.
You were right there, honey. You were right there
in the middle of it. And I know you experienced
a lot of that fallout. And I'm...
so, so sorry. I mean, that's why you're
the person you are today, why you're so cautious
with everything, and...
you are, um-- you're careful, you know?
You don't wanna make the same mistakes that I made,
and I understand that. But the reason
why I'm saying these things is because I need you to see
what's driving your desire to be with Thomas.
You need to see that, honey. Just...
let him go. Please, just support
his engagement to Paris.

I've found happiness, and it seems like Hope

She will move forward. >> Thomas: Yeah. Well,
speaking of moving forward, I hope you understand

it is no secret that this has been a struggle for me,
learning about you and Paris and what it means for you,
for us, for our family. So, yes, my feelings have been

our past behind as quickly as possible.

what evolved between the two of you
