In Eric's office, Electra received praise for how well her jewelry was selling. "The jewelry line is killing it," Will said. Electra thought being at the fashion show was. a dream come true. Ridge told Will he also did a good job, so Will asked for a promotion. "Once I figure out what you actually do, we can talk about it," Ridge said.

When Electra and Will left, Ridge noticed that Carter was lost in thought. Carter admitted it was hard to be at Forrester Creations without Hope. Carter once again told Ridge that the coup was his idea, but Ridge didn't care. At least Carter apologized, but Hope did not. That didn't sit well with Ridge. Carter insisted that they needed Hope. "Hope For The Future is missed here. Hope is missed here," Carter stated.

Carter finally admitted that it bugged him that Ridge and Eric promised him that Hope would still have a place at Forrester Creations and then backed out on the deal. Ridge claimed he and Eric should never have told him that without consulting Steffy. Carter wondered if there was a chance that Steffy would reconsider.

Once Carter was alone in the office, he began thinking about Hope again. That prompted him to text Hope and ask to see her.

Will and Electra headed to their favorite dressing room, where all Will could do was praise Electra some more. "You deserve everything that's happening to you right now, Electra, and even more," Will said.

Will finally told Electra he had a confession to make. "It's just crazy to me. You and me. I never thought something like this could happen," a nervous Will said. He admitted he returned to Los Angeles cause he missed his parents. He never expected to find someone like Electra. "You are the only reason I am still in L.A.," he said.

Liam, Finn, and Steffy sat around the breakfast table like a big, happy modern family. Steffy even served Liam avocado toast and a smoothie, but he claimed he had no appetite. It turned out Liam was now living with the Finnegans. They would just tell Kelly that it was temporary while Liam was having repairs done.

Liam once again asked Steffy and Finn not to tell anyone about his tumor, but Steffy correctly pointed out that Hope needed to know. Later, Hope called when Liam was napping on the couch. Hope asked if Beth could go to a sleepover during one of the days he was supposed to be with her.

Liam decided to tell Hope he was staying at Steffy and Finn's due to plumbing issues at his place. Hope was a little surprised but told Liam she would be right over. Liam informed Steffy that Hope was on her way, so Steffy reiterated her stance about Liam telling Hope the truth about his condition.

Liam refused. "I'm not doing that to Hope right now. Hope's got enough on her plate," he said. Liam claimed he had time to tell her, as he was not "dying tomorrow."

When Hope arrived, she was surprised that Liam wasn't staying in the guest house. When she saw the ski hat on Liam's head, she questioned it. Liam said he had run out of hair product, so he was wearing a hat. A nervous Steffy and Finn left before Hope looked at Liam curiously and asked him what was really going on.

"Is there something more going on than what you're telling me?" Hope wondered. Liam kept insisting it was plumbing issues. He hadn't told Hope because he knew she was going through a hard time after the blow-up at FC and the end of her relationship with Carter.

Liam thought it was a perfect time to change the subject, so he did. "How are you? Where are you and Carter at?" he asked. Hope didn't fall for Liam's act. "I see you, Liam. You're deflecting, but I'll let it slide this time because I care about you, too," she said.

Hope began talking about the good times that she and Liam shared. She was determined not to have her heart broken again, but when Carter stayed with FC and she was forced to leave, Hope was hurt. Liam said that he believed Carter really loved Carter.

Just then, Hope received Carter's text. Liam immediately told her to text him back. Liam wanted Hope to make peace with everyone, including Steffy and Ridge. "Sometimes I forget how wise you can be," Hope said. Liam wasn't so sure about that, but he reminded Hope that time was precious.

In Finn's office, Finn told Steffy that Liam's doctors wanted him back in the hospital for more tests. Steffy forgot all about the fashion show success and started crying again. "He has two little girls. The thought of them growing up without their father...I don't get it. Modern medicine cures so much. Why can't it cure this?" Steffy asked.

Steffy even remembered that Eric was in a similar situation at the end of 2023. Finn found a way to save Eric, so she had hoped the same thing could happen for Liam. "But it's not. We're losing him, Finn," Steffy cried.
