At Il Giardino, Tom thinks about Deacon telling him Bill is Luna’s father and about spilling water on Poppy. He shakes his head, looks around, and then searches for Bill Spencer’s address on a tablet. After he writes it down, Deacon appears to talk about him playing guitar and asks if he has stage fright. Tom can’t thank him enough. Deacon crows that the Tom Storace comeback show is good publicity.

She recaps that she’s made mistakes in her past, but who hasn’t? What she does know is that they’re all capable of change. Tom agrees. “I’ve led many lives over the years.” Sheila recalls that he saved her life. She’ll be forever thankful. She chooses to see him as he is now, not as the other person he hints at. She hopes he’ll do the same for her. Deacon reappears and says the P.A. is ready for tonight. Tom marvels that he’s gearing up for his first show in years after being on the streets. Deacon can’t help him enough for saving Sheila’s life. Tom says he’s saving his, in more ways that he knows.

In the main office, Hope recaps that refusing his proposal was not about how much she loved him. Thomas thought if he kept proposing, she’d eventually say yes, but she didn’t, so he had to go.

What she doesn’t understand is the complete one-eighty his life has taken; engaged to Paris with Douglas calling her mom. “How does that happen? It is too fast and you know it!”

In the design office, Paris brings up the horrible things her dad did. Ridge and Steffy assure her they don’t hold that against her, or Zoe, who got caught up in it.

In the main office, Thomas wonders if Hope thinks he proposed to Paris on the rebound. Hope chuckles, “You tell me given that you proposed to me not too long ago.” Thomas explains how he reconnected with Paris in France. He is not getting any younger. He wants another child. “I want a family.” Hope asks, “With Paris? So she is your future now?” Thomas saw how his sister moved on from the toxic relationship with Liam. Now she’s happy. “Don’t you want that for me?” He wouldn’t have proposed to Paris if he didn’t think they could make a go of it. “Paris is who I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. She’s going to be my wife.”

At Bill’s place, Luna and Poppy recap how things have worked out. Luna gets a call from RJ and leaves the room. The doorbell rings. Poppy opens the door to Tom, who says, “Pizza delivery, Poppy.” Poppy hisses, “Tom? What are you doing here?!”

Tom warns, “Don’t play games with me, Poppy.” Poppy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Tom thinks she knows exactly what he’s talking about. Poppy threatens to call security. Tom says he just brought her a pizza. Poppy snaps, “A pizza I didn’t order.” Tom insists he’s coming in peace. He hasn’t forgotten her and he knows she hasn’t forgotten him. Poppy tells him he needs to leave now. Suddenly, Luna appears. Poppy says the man was just delivering pizza. Tom scuttles off.

Despite all that’s happened between us, I will always love you.” Steffy looks in the door as Hope kisses him. She ducks back out and then Thomas leaves. Hope sighs. Steffy comes back in and asks if she really thought that kiss was all it would take for her brother to come running back to her. She informs her she needs to respect Thomas’ decision.
