Liam woke up in the morning and was surprised to find that Steffy had stayed overnight and wrote his editorial for him. Liam said Steffy deserved to have the credit for the piece, but all Steffy wanted in return was a favor – a walk on the beach and a friendly kiss. Liam agreed to the walk on the beach, but said he couldn’t kiss her. Bill and Justin watched the footage from the surveillance cameras to see that Steffy’s car was still in the driveway sleuthing talents to find out what happened between Liam and Steffy the night before.

Justin confronted Bill about any residual feels that he still may have for Steffy. Hope began to fear that her relationship with Liam may be in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Liam and Steffy frolicked on the beach and ended up in an embrace.

Thorne caused another family war when he publicly confronted Ridge about his decision to promote the “Hope for the Future” fashion line rather than the many other Forrester Creations’ collections. Thomas and Steffy were grateful to their Uncle Thorne for sticking up for their lines, but even more so when he gave them an idea of how they could be more influential within the company. Ridge asked Taylor to turn the stocks over to him so he could fairly divide them between all the heirs, but Taylor refused to give into Ridge over the matter.

After arguing over their opposing moral beliefs, Hope unsuccessfully asked Steffy for a truce. Bill voiced his appreciation to Steffy for helping Liam and told her how much he preferred her over Hope being in a relationship with his son.

Steffy revealed to Bill her plan to save Liam from what she feels will ultimately be a miserable marriage to Hope. A heated argument between Ridge and Thorne led to a physical altercation. After Ridge knocked Thorne to the ground, Taylor ran to him. Ridge was shocked to see Taylor kiss Thorne, who vowed that he, Taylor, Steffy and Thomas were done taking orders from Ridge and Brooke.

Brooke learned about Thorne and Taylor’s new reconnection and was grateful that Taylor was finally moving on from her years of pining for Ridge. Steffy confided in Thomas her plan for a future with Liam. Thomas remained skeptical of his sister’s plans. Katie and Bill didn’t see eye to eye when it came to their opinions regarding which woman they each thought was better for Liam: Hope or Steffy. Tired of waiting to make love to his fiancée, Liam pleaded with Hope to move their wedding date up. After some convincing, Hope agreed to move up the wedding, but said she was sure there would be some family resistance to the idea.

Hope called a company meeting to announce that she and Liam had moved up their wedding date. When Bill is given the same information from Liam, he is disappointed and frustrated with his son’s choices. The Forrester family explains to Hope that because they built an entire ad campaign around Hope and Liam’s wedding, the date could not be changed. Knowing Liam would be upset, Hope made a decision that she was ready to have sex with Liam, despite their non-marital status. When Liam found out Hope was not going to move up the wedding date, he confided his hurt feelings to an all-too-understanding Steffy. After trying to console Liam, Steffy told him that, unlike Hope, she was ready to give himself to her right now and the two kissed. Meanwhile, Hope decided she would move into Liam’s place that night and surprise him with the news that she was ready to sleep with him.
