Steffy feared they would not find a solution to save Liam, who was also worried. However, if he had to face the end of his life, what he wanted was for the people around him to be happy. He mentioned that he pushed Hope to go back to Carter, as they deserved each other.

Steffy reminded him they were not a good team and rebuked his plan, but she backed off when Liam’s head started throbbing. She then changed the topic to Liam coming clean to his ex-wife, Hope, as she deserved to know the truth.

However, Liam refused to tell anyone else in his life that he was sick. He feared that he could not tell Hope without Beth finding out about his declining health. Steffy tried to get him to see the positive side of things, but Liam did not budge. He made it clear that he decided to make.

Instead of focusing on the news of his death, he wanted to make it his mission to bring together his daughter’s families while he was alive. In the meantime, Steffy and Liam started recalling the past moments they spent together. Steffy had tears in her eyes after thinking about those moments. She thought to herself that she did not want to lose Liam.

When Hope said Carter was not there by her side when she needed him the most, Carter promised to make it right. He vowed to fix things, saying he was sorry and that he missed her. He made it clear that he did not just miss her, but he needed her. He told Hope that his life was incomplete without her in it.

She opened up about missing him and talked about the good moments they shared, but she could not forget about the awful things he did to her. She said she gave her heart to him and trusted him with her future, but it did not turn out that well.
