You thought you were dying? >> Taylor: It was, um, it was
terrible, Steffy. I was having chest pains,
shortness of breath. >> Steffy: Oh! What?
>> Taylor: I will be fine. I will be.
In large part thanks to your father.

>> Ridge: I'm sorry that you... you saw what you saw.
>> Brooke: [sighs] W-what exactly did I see?
That's what I'm not really understanding.
It was something so intimate.
Taylor tried explaining, but I don't really trust her.
So I'd like to hear it from you. Why was she...
in your lap, straddling you? ♪♪♪
>> Liam: How did I know you'd still be here?
>> Hope: Hi. Hi, hey. >> Liam: Hey, uh, listen, I know
it's late, and I can see that you're still working.
But, um... I have something I wanna show
you. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: Oh, uh, something you need to show me. Now?
>> Liam: Well, uh, so I just finished this big media splash
for Hope for the Future. >> Hope: Oh my g--oh, my gosh, I
didn't think that was supposed to be finished until next week.
>> Liam: It's okay, I didn't either, but then you get
inspired, and... here's the thing, um...
I didn't realize what a personal project this would end up being
for me. ♪♪♪
>> Ridge: I need you to understand something--when
Taylor got this diagnosis, she didn't--she didn't think that--
>> Brooke: She said at first she thought it was heart failure.
>> Ridge: Yeah. And she thought she was dying.
So we saw Dr. Buckingham, and... it was good, I mean, she gave us
some good news, and that's-- >> Brooke: Mmm. Well, she
mentioned that too. >> Ridge: Okay, well, all right.
So Grace put her on medication, and that was really positive.
>> Brooke: So if it was so positive, why the need for a
healer? >> Ridge: Because doctors and
medication--that's all about the physical part of it, about the
physical problem. There's an emotional side, and
that's why I got the healer, because...
there was a trauma that Taylor hadn't dealt with in her past,
and she...[exhales] tonight she did.
I mean, it was-it was amazing. And I wanted to tell you about
it. >> Brooke: But you didn't tell
me.
And this whole thing that you did with your ex-wife
was without my knowledge.
Don't you think that's something you should have talked to me
about? ♪♪♪
>> Steffy: So Dad knows all about this?
>> Taylor: He's the one who convinced me to see a
cardiologist. >> Steffy: Well, w-why would
you need convincing if you were having chest pains?
>> Taylor: I did go to a doctor. In Europe.
And the initial findings suggested heart failure.
>> Steffy: You just told me everything's okay.
>> Taylor: I will be, honey. I will be.
But I didn't know that at first. That's why I came back here,
to be with all of you. [Steffy exhales]
I spoke to Li about it, and she recommended a few cardiologists,
including Grace Buckingham. I didn't wanna go, but your
father insisted. >> Steffy: Oh, thank God.
>> Taylor: Yeah. Grace ran some tests and figured out that the
initial diagnosis was wrong. My heart isn't failing.
It's just...broken. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: All right. I am ready to be impressed.
>> Liam: Oh, are you? Well, that's fitting, 'cause,
uh, the inspiration is how much you impress me every day.
So... uh...
here we go. >> Narrator: In a world that
often feels uncertain, there shines a beacon of hope,
embodied in the spirit of Hope Logan,
a name synonymous with resilience, creativity, and the
power of dreams. Hope is more than just a
designer. She is a visionary.
Hope is not just a name. It's a promise: a promise to
guide her children through life's challenges, to inspire
them to chase their dreams, and to instill in them the
values of kindness and compassion.
[cheers and applause] Hope is here. Hope is now.
Hope is the future. [applause continues]

just a few, you know, I think like music edits, and it should
be good to post, pending your approval.
>> Hope: I mean... I-I thought for sure that you
were going to delegate this, and the fact that you did all this
yourself... >> Liam: Yeah, I was--I thought
I was going to, and then I just--
It had to be me. I-I-I couldn't...I couldn't put
it in somebody else's hands. I-I just--I wanted to be the one
to do the tribute because... I want everyone to know who you
are... and everything you've
accomplished, and, um...
I know what we talked about, but I just--I can't, um...
I can't stop thinking about you. And it's not--I'm not just
thinking about the past and all the wonderful memories we've

[Taylor sighs] >> Steffy: So broken heart
syndrome. It's unbelievable.
>> Taylor: Or...totally believable, when you consider
the patient. >> Steffy: Oh, Mom.
>> Taylor: I-I couldn't accept it at first either.
I didn't want to. >> Steffy: You promise me you're
gonna be okay, right? >> Taylor: I should be, I should
be. I'm getting treatments. I'm continuing my appointments
with Grace. I mean, the chances are good
that my next echocardiogram will be very much improved.
Especially after tonight. >> Steffy: Seems like it had a
real effect on you. >> Taylor: Oh, huge.
I mean, I'm not suggesting that I'm suddenly cured.
I'm gonna continue getting treatment and taking my meds,
and my body has some serious healing to do.
But tonight was about holistic healing.
And realizing there's a place to write prescriptions, talk,
and be cerebral, but there's also a place for energy work,
emotional work--modalities that have been around for thousands
of years. Yeah.
Sometimes the answers lie within ourselves.
And that's what I found tonight. Answers.
In the intense chakra work with Shandra and your father.
>> Steffy: Yeah, what? With Shandra and Dad?
>> Taylor: Yeah. I couldn't have done it without him.
He was really there for me. Very...sensitive
and committed to my well-being. >> Steffy: Well, you know Dad
cares about you. He always will.
But there is one thing I'm not-- like I still don't really
understand. Why in hell was Brooke involved?
>> Taylor: Oh, she wasn't. She came over, unannounced.
She saw the candles, the mood, the deep connection that your
father and I share. Sadly, I'm guessing that your
father is getting a tongue-lashing from Brooke
right about now.
>> Brooke: Do you know how that felt?
Seeing you and Taylor just wrapped around each other
with candles everywhere? >> Ridge: Okay, I know that
can't have been fun for you, but you--
it's part of Taylor's healing journey,
and Shandra gave me instructions.
>> Brooke: [laughs] Ridiculous instructions.
Because no matter what that was, you shouldn't have been doing
that with your ex-wife. >> Ridge: Okay. Yes. And maybe
it was ridiculous, but you know what? That pose--it did
something. And Taylor had a breakthrough.
She really did, and I think-- I know she's gonna be okay.
>> Brooke: Mmm. Okay.
I'm glad to hear that.
So what is this life-changing pose called anyway?
>> Ridge: It's called Yab-Yum. >> Brooke: Yab-Yum?
>> Ridge: Yeah. >> Brooke: Hmm.
>> Ridge: What's happening here? What's, uh, what's going on in
that beautiful head of yours? ♪♪♪
>> Hope: Liam, I-I appreciate
how you put this all together. I mean, it's beautifully done,
and I-I do appreciate how you look back fondly on what we
had, because I do too, but... I mean, we talked about this.
>> Liam: We talked about this. Yeah, no, I know. Um...
We shared something really great, and-and...
we're still really great. We're just [small laugh]
just a different kind of great. We're great friends, we're great
co-parents, and, you know, it, um...it's taken some adjustment,
but there's still--it's just...
Well, hear me out.
>> Hope: M--
>> Liam: I been wanting to do that...
for a really long time. ♪♪♪
>> Brooke: Yab-Yum. Think that has something to do
with chakras. Do you even know what a chakra
is? >> Ridge: I didn't, but now I
do. I did some research, and anyway, the point is this pose
was about mutual awareness. >> Brooke: Yes, I could imagine.
I mean, the way you two were sitting, it seemed like you were
mutually aware of everything that was going on between the
two of you. >> Ridge: [sighs]
>> Brooke: So why don't you explain this pose?
>> Ridge: Really? Uh, okay. I was sitting on the floor, as
you know, and she was...sitting in my lap--
>> Brooke: And her legs wrapped around you.
Yes, I got an eyeful of that. >> Ridge: I'm sorry, but we had
to keep eye contact and-and breathe as one.
>> Brooke: You do realize you did something with Taylor
that you've never done with me. >> Ridge: I'm sorry I hurt you.
>> Brooke: Well, we can fix that.
As long as you promise never to be Yab-Yumming with anybody else
but me. ♪♪♪
>> Steffy: Mom, I hate to see you wasting all this time
worrying about Brooke. >> Taylor: Oh, I'm-I'm not.
I have much more important things to focus on.
Gratitude, knowing that I'm gonna be okay, and love
for my beautiful family. >> Steffy: And Dad.
>> Taylor: Yeah. He's really been a rock for me.
He's really stood up and seen me through all of this.
And no, I don't believe we're getting back together,
but that's not what tonight was about.
Tonight your father and I really worked through some things...
the loss of Phoebe. I miss your sister every day.

you... coming in and out of your life,
not staying for very long, running from my own problems.
But that's-that's over. I'm here.
And I'm gonna stay here. It's where I'm meant to be,
with you and your beautiful children...
and your father. ♪♪♪
>> Taylor: Well, I have a
confession to make that, um, I was in Monte Carlo for a
consultation, then I found out your father was planning on
being there as well. >> Steffy: Dad never mentioned
anything about seeing you. >> Taylor: Because he didn't.
I saw him, but he didn't see me. Let's just say the timing wasn't
right. >> Steffy: Ah. He was with
Brooke. >> Taylor: Yeah. Once I thought
I was living with this diagnosis, I just felt too
vulnerable to have any interaction with him.
I was feeling pretty insecure. >> Steffy: That is not how I
would describe you. >> Taylor: No, it's true. I left
Los Angeles months ago a different person.
I wasn't my true self, but now...I feel like a whole new
woman. >> Steffy: I really love that,
Mom. And I'm really, really proud of
you, and I want you to know like I really look up to you.

Please stay this time. >> Taylor: Don't worry.
After tonight and this breakthrough I had and the

one. >> Brooke: Oh.
