Xander Demands Answers From Zoe After Hearing Her Say Beth’s Alive

Wyatt calls Flo from the cabin and worries to her about his brother, who’s in the shower. After, Liam tells Wyatt that he’s realized he is the one who has been hurting Hope by holding onto the dream they had for so long. Wyatt thinks the whole thing is awful, but gives him a key to his house as staying at the crummy hotel’s not an option. Liam thanks him, then asks his brother to leave. There’s something he wants to do for Hope. He wants to give their marriage a more dignified end than their daughter had. Talk turns to Bill being strangely happy these days. Wyatt reveals he’s been happy too and Liam learns he’s gotten close with Flo – he’s pleased for him. Wyatt wishes Liam and Hope could have had happiness with Beth.

Hope arrives at Steffy’s place and pushes the idea of her talking to Liam. She thinks Steffy should ask him to move in. Steffy wonders why Hope won’t try to get pregnant again – she can’t justify leaving a loving marriage. Phoebe cries and Steffy brings her out. Hope knows she’s doing the right thing because of what it will do for this amazing child. Steffy asks Hope not to end her marriage – Phoebe doesn’t need that kind of sacrifice. Hope needs to make up for failing Beth and trusts Steffy and Liam will figure it out. She tells Phoebe she’ll have the best daddy in the whole world.
