Everyone discusses Rick's announcement that Thomas joins Hope for the Future and his surprising public kiss. The Forresters agree that it's sound business-wise, not what it means for various relationships. Thomas and Hope reporting about the graffiti on Liam's beach-house tower fuels further speculations, Caroline becomes insecure about Thomas. Although Bill sees the whole embarrassing show as the ultimate proof it's high time for Liam to forget all about Hope and concentrate on business and Steffy, Liam decides to confront his ex-bride a last time, only to be haughtily told off, even forbidden to call her. Bill scolds Steffy's passive attitude, also in vain.
