Liam and Steffy grieved for the loss of their baby. Steffy was released from the hospital her remaining injuries emotional not physical. It was a rocky homecoming or Steffy though. First Liam brought her maternity pants to wear home from the hospital.
Once on the driveway of the Malibu beach house, Liam remember the delivery of baby stuff that Bill had sent over and went inside to move them out of sight. Steffy stayed in the car, but spied her wrecked bike that had been delivered earlier.
Steffy let out her grief and anger on the bike, taking to it with a baseball bat. She fell to her knees and apologized to her baby over and over.
Steffy and Liam also attended a follow up appointment with Steffy's ob-gyn. Taylor, who also came, asked the doctor how long it would be before Steffy and Liam could get pregnant again. Steffy was initially horrified by her mother's suggestion but by the time Steffy got home the idea had taken root and Steffy told Liam she wanted to have another baby as soon as possible.
Taylor then told Hope to butt out of Liam and Steffy's life and allow them to grieve and heal. Taylor tried to make is sound like concern for Hope when she told her that Steffy and Liam were talking about getting pregnant again, soon. But Hope wasn't buying it, because she had already been in touch with Liam and he was coming over to meet with her.
Hope was supportive of Liam and his grief, but also took the opportunity to remind him that the reason he married Steffy no longer existed. He was now free to choose the life he wanted.
Meanwhile, Brooke was trying to convince Eric that he should own up to being the father of her child, even though it was really Bill Spencer's child. Brooke tried to play on his memories of the better times in their marriage and raising Rick and Bridget together, but Eric was happy in his relationship with Taylor. One built on passion, not the desire to protect Katie as their marriage would be.
Eric suggested that Brooke tell Bill about the baby. She clearly shared that same passion with him. Not with Eric. Brooke proved him wrong by laying a passionate kiss on him. Meanwhile Taylor was telling Thomas how happy and secure she was in her relationship with Eric....and that Eric's romantic days with Brooke were far behind him.
Bills sent Allison to threated Maya with the photos Allison took in the club last week. Stay away from Rick Forrester or the DA gets hold of this photo of you and Jesse Graves and you go back to prison for violating the terms of your release, Allison told Maya as Rick knocked on the door.
Brooke came up with a plan to keep her baby and keep the truth from Katie that her husband was Brooke's baby's father. Brooke told Eric that he was her baby's father...
Rick tried to dump Caroline, but Caroline saw it coming and dodged. Caroline admitted to Uncle Bill that she was having trouble holding onto Rick. Bill comforted his niece and told her that he believed everything would be ok.
Bill had Allison look into Maya's past. Allison came through when she told Bill about Maya's ex, Jesse Graves who was recently released from prison due to overcrowding. Maya's release from prison was contingent on her staying away from Jesse. Too easy, Bill stated, then took 10 grand in cash out of his top draw and told Allison to make sure that Jesse and Maya ran into each other at a club Rick, Maya and Caroline were going to that evening.
Allison delivered photo evidence of Jesse and Maya together earning herself a cool 5k bonus for her after hours efforts.

Bill was there for his son. He listened with Liam gave voice to feelings that Bills suggested Steffy couldn't be allowed to hear.
But the question remains. If Liam can't get past Steffy's reckless actions that resulted in her losing their baby what hope does their marriage have?
