He leaves, and Hope thanks Thomas for being so understanding; she’s glad things went better than expected with Liam.

Thomas confides that he actually asked him for a favor — she’s not going to believe what it is. Hope asks what they talked about. “What did Liam say?” Thomas relays that he’s worried about her and the kids — he may be gone for many years, that’s why he turned to him. He knows Hope is strong, but Liam asked him to look after her and the children. Hope gapes, “What?” She’s upset because Liam needs to remain positive. Thomas explains he’s preparing for the worst and knows how much Thomas cares about them. “You can count on me. I’ll always be there for you.”

Wyatt is sorry and can’t believe he’s in this situation. Liam asks Wyatt to please tell him he believes it was an accident. Liam’s relieved when he confirms he does.

Liam replies, “Not romantically,” but Wyatt counters, “What do you think he’d going to do?” Liam bangs on the tabletop — he wants them to have stability. Wyatt doesn’t know what he’s doing, but of all the people to ask to help out with Hope and Beth, “You asked Thomas?!”
