Liam decided that he could never forgive Steffy, but Ridge urged Liam to be the father and husband Ridge knew Liam could be.

Steffy received an app alert that her mother was in town. Surprised, she followed the signal to Bill's house and found her mother there in the middle of a confrontation with Bill. Bill revealed that Taylor, not Liam, was the real shooter. Bill and Steffy convinced Liam that he'd imagined shooting Bill, and some unknown assailant had really done it. For Steffy's sake, Bill didn't turn Taylor in, but in return for his silence, Bill asked Steffy to sign her annulment papers. Steffy complied, and upon giving the papers to Liam, she hoped that he'd change his mind and reunite with her instead.
April 23 to 27, 2018
Steffy signed the annulment papers but told Liam that she wished he'd rip them up and return home. Undecided about filing the papers, Liam took Hope and Brooke up on the offer for him to move into the cabin on Brooke's estate until he made a final decision about his marriage. At an ultrasound appointment, Liam and Steffy bonded in fear over a possible problem with the baby.

Emma cut a date with Xander short when things got too intimate, but Zoe showed up, offering to fulfill his needs. Xander resisted, and Zoe decided to wait for him to lose patience with "little Miss Emma." After fuming over Ridge's decision to give the extra funds to Steffy's line and not Hope's, Brooke appealed to Katie on Bill's behalf, to no avail. Brooke promised to keep trying, and the grateful Bill kissed her. Thorne decided that getting married would make him and Katie look good at the custody hearing, and he proposed to Katie.
September 17 to 21, 2018
Katie accepted Thorne's marriage proposal, and Thorne and Katie decided to get married before the hearing to improve their chances in court. Unbeknownst to them, Ridge also decided to improve their chances in court by leveraging a loan he'd made to the judge to get a verdict favorable to Katie. Liam and Wyatt disagreed about what was best for Will. A half-naked Xander gave Steffy an idea. She hired him as an Intimates model, and Zoe became titillated by the idea of working with him.

September 24 to 28, 2018

Brooke confronted the judge and Ridge about their underhanded actions in the custody hearing. Ridge insisted that she keep quiet about it, but instead, Brooke appealed to Katie to resolve the damage Ridge had done to Bill and Will's relationship while not turning Ridge in for judge tampering. Katie, however, believed she would have gotten sole custody, anyway, and she felt put upon to right Ridge's wrongs. Steffy caught Bill kissing Brooke but didn't stick around to see Brooke reject him. Steffy told Ridge, who confronted Brooke about what she'd done to them. Much to Sally and Quinn's delight, Steffy rehired Wyatt at Forrester.

Charlie slipped an engagement ring into a lemon bar to make a special marriage proposal to Pam.

Pam and Quinn got into a heated argument about their places in the Forrester family. During a scuffle over Stephanie's portrait, Quinn's foot ripped through the canvas.

Quinn said Pam could have her "damn" wedding at the house; however, after another heated argument with Quinn over Stephanie and Quinn's portraits, Pam told Charlie that she no longer wanted to get married at all.

Zoe warned Reese not to mess things up for her by getting involved with yet another rich woman, especially the mother of Zoe's boss.
