They explain that it all began when they started spending time together, all three of them. CBS Douglas tells his mom that she doesn’t have to worry. What his dad and Paris have is for real. He’s missed her and gives her a hug before exiting with Paris. CBS Hope shakes her head. “Wow,” she says.

He didn’t want to reveal this over the phone. She doesn’t know how she misread his return so badly. She really thought he came back to restart their life. She’s not happy that Douglas is calling him “mom” and reminds him that he was engaged to Paris’ sister not so long ago. CBS She doesn’t think that leaping into marriage like this is how things work.

CBS In the design office, Steffy won’t fight her father about Hope’s line… this time.
