Steffy? >> Finn: No, no, my wife has

I really feel like she's gonna do something to upend Hope's
life again. >> Liam: Uh, still trying to
wrap my head around Hope kissing Finn.

I told Finn to keep his distance from Hope, but he didn't see
what she was capable of, the lengths that she would go to
mess with my life. He said he knew what he was
doing, that I just didn't understand Hope.

chance, showing her some grace. >> Brooke: Grace?
Steffy threatened Hope. >> Finn: What are you talking
about? >> Brooke: She told Hope if she
were even to glance in your direction that she would cancel
Hope for the Future. >> Finn: She did? Well, I just
ran into Hope at Il Giardino the other day--she never mentioned
anything about it. >> Brooke: She took what Steffy
said pretty seriously. And she's not that kind of
woman. I mean, I know you have a
different impression of her, but she's a good person.
She has a good heart. I don't mean to cause problems
between you and Steffy--I don't. But I think you could get
through to her. >> Finn: Brooke, I don't wanna
be in the middle of this. >> Brooke: Even if it could help
bring some peace? I do understand that you wanna
protect your family. You wanna protect your marriage.

Or the worst. >> Liam: Uh, well, I know.
The whole, you know, Ridge, Taylor, Brooke history--it's a
deep cut. >> Steffy: Yeah, it is a deep
cut, Liam. Brooke went after my father
knowing full well that he was a married man--we can't ignore
the similarities. I-I'm not gonna allow Hope to
become her mother. She's not gonna destroy my
relationship. >> Liam: I just...
yeah, just for the record, I don't think Hope would do that.

I'm not trying to give you the impression I'm not on your side.
I am--Steffy, I'm on your side. It-it's just I can't imagine
Hope actively trying to break up a family.
>> Steffy: Liam, Hope kissed my husband.
>> Taylor: I mean, it's odd behavior.
Finn is just standing there at this party, minding his own
business, waiting for his wife, and Hope just comes out of
nowhere and kisses him on the lips?

apologized, and Brooke's been talking to her, so...

never gonna happen again. >> Taylor: Come on, Ridge.
You're not seeing this clearly. This is becoming a pattern for
Hope and didn't come out of nowhere.
This is a learned behavior. >> Ridge: Oh, I don't like--
I don't like where this is going. Maybe I should get off
your couch for a minute. >> Taylor: You're not on my
couch, but you know what? Yes. I have seen this with a lot of
my patients. The most important thing here is
that I'm concerned for our daughter.

closer to Finn, and as much as I tried to stop it, they had a
friendship. And Hope took advantage of that
friendship. She took advantage of his
kindness. So that kiss, whether it was
planned out or just happened in the moment, it really hurts.
And it makes me concerned about what she might try next.
