Steffy Manipulates Finn to Get What She Wants

At Spencer Publications, Liam and Bill go over Liam’s concern that Steffy’s alone too much. Bill questions if he’s second-guessing his decision to be with Hope, but he insists he isn’t. Bill thinks Steffy will find someone new, or might be fine single. Hope arrives and Liam asks how it went dropping off Kelly. Hope explains she’s not back at Steffy’s yet. She went by the cliff house to explain, but Steffy’s reaction was pretty intense. Liam understands that – Kelly’s been spending a lot of time with them. Bill thinks Steffy needs time and space to recover. Liam worries that Steffy might feel they’re taking advantage and wants to be more sensitive during this difficult time. Hope muses Steffy’s not completely alone at least – her doctor showed up. Bill’s intrigued by the ‘house call’ and guesses there’s an ulterior reason he’s there. Liam reminds his father he’s a professional. Bill swerves to offer Hope and Liam a date night – he’ll take all three kids, throw Will into the mix and hold a ‘G-rated Studio 54’. Liam’s reaction is comically incredulous. After Bill’s gone, Hope tells Liam something seems off with Steffy. Liam got the same feeling. They wonder who might be able to help. Hope suggests, “Steffy’s doctor?”

Steffy doesn’t want to get into her past with Hope and Liam. Finn doesn’t mean to pry, he just wants to help. They go over her missing Kelly.

Finn urges her to use her amazing support system and adds, “Lean on me, if you choose.” Steffy talks about her love for Kelly. “I want to be worthy of her.” Finn thinks she has that covered. Steffy confirms it’s been difficult as a single mother since the accident – he could help by calling in one more prescription to help her get back to being the best mother.
