By the runway at Forrester, Hope and Brooke continue to go over the dilemma with Carter and Liam. Brooke asks if she’s willing to give her family with Liam another try. Hope confides that Deacon is pushing for her to get back with Liam. What does her mother think? Brooke, forgetting all of the past, apparently, says there’s been issues with Carter, while she and Liam have wonderful memories. Bananas!
Somehow, Hope ends up reliving Beth’s “death” and the pain and heartache she and Liam triumphed over together… ’cause nothing says ‘romance’ like the darkest days of your life. Hope decides that may be why she couldn’t fully commit to Thomas… he was part of that pain. Hope decides she should go meet up with Carter. Brooke urges her daughter to follow her heart.
Will Beth Make Her Point?
At Brooke’s place, Beth likes Carter, and he makes her mom happy, but so does her dad. She even laughs at his corny jokes! Beth questions why he and her mother don’t get back together again. Liam’s saved by the bell, aka Ivy, when she stops in to give Beth jewelry for her daddy/daughter dance. Beth, like a dog with a bone, asks her if she thinks her daddy wants to marry her mommy. Ivy gawps and Liam intervenes to explain to his daughter that Hope is marrying Carter. Undeterred, Beth presses, “What if she wants to marry you instead?”
After the girl is sent upstairs, Ivy and Liam discuss her wanting her parents back together. Ivy think Hope would be crazy to give up a chance to reunite their little family. Later, alone, Liam moons over a photo of his family. “It still could happen for us, Hope.”
Will Carter Persuade Ridge?
In the office at Forrester, Carter gives Ridge the full-court press on Hope For the Future. He wants his future wife to have everything she deserves. Surprising his pal, Ridge says he agrees… it’s time to bring back the line. Carter, getting ahead of himself, marvels, “What a way to start our life together as husband and wife. Thank you.”
Ridge and Carter are discussing his bachelor party when Daphne interrupts and Ridge leaves her and Carter to talk. She fishes to find out if a wedding date’s been set. Carter admits, “Not yet. But soon, very soon.” Daphne admits she’s worried he’s going to be heartbroken. “You’re not just up against a man… you’re up against a family.”
Ridge meets up with Brooke by the runway and, after some canoodling, he reveals that he’s bringing Hope For the Future back. Brooke gushes that she’s so grateful. She can’t wait for Hope to find out. Ridge chortles that Carter is telling her right now.

Wait for it… wait for it… and there it is. “Let’s do it!” he enthuses. “Let’s get married today!” Hope stammers as he pulls her into his arms.
