At Forrester, Hope reminds Thomas how good they were together. That’s what makes it so difficult to understand his decision to ask Paris to marry him. Thomas reminds her she said no twice, You have to know what that did to me.
Hope cries out her regrets. Thomas says he had to move on. Hope asks, So soon? With Paris Buckingham? Don’t. Don’t marry her.
In another part of the office, Paris knows Ridge and Steffy must be shocked about the engagement and assures them they’re excited. But his son went to France to recover and refocus his life. Paris says his time away has changed him. Hope is his past and she’s his future. She’s confident in Thomas’ commitment to her. Steffy sighs, I hope you’re right.
At Il Giardino, Tom thinks about Deacon telling him Bill is Luna’s father and about spilling water on Poppy. He shakes his head, looks around, and then searches for Bill Spencer’s address on a tablet.
After he writes it down, Deacon appears to talk about him playing guitar and asks if he has stage fright. Tom can’t thank him enough. Deacon crows that the Tom Storace comeback show is good publicity. Tom’s not sure how many of his old fans will come out of the woodwork, but back in the day it was a blast.

In the main office, Hope recaps that refusing his proposal was not about how much she loved him. Thomas thought if he kept proposing, she’d eventually say yes, but she didn’t, so he had to go. Hope gulps that she wishes he hadn’t… everything could be different now.
In the design office, Paris brings up the horrible things her dad did. Ridge and Steffy assure her they don’t hold that against her or Zoe.
