It's morning. Hope and Liam eat breakfast with Beth. 

Liam: How are you feeling?

Hope: Fine. Why are you asking?

Liam: You just met the brother you never saw before.

Hope: Actually I saw him in the past, but for a brief moment when he was a kid... 

Hope looks down and looks sad.

Liam: Hey, what's wrong?

Hope: I just think about this horrible situation that he was in. Knowing that he has a mother and siblings that he isn't seeing for no apparent reason.

Liam: You told me that Bridget was in contact with him.

Hope: Yes. Actually she was raising him for a little while when she was with Nick, Jack's father and since Bridget lives with Jackie and Owen he saw her very often. Bridget always told mom to not mess with his head... So she didn't. 

Liam: How would having his mother in his life mess with his head?

Hope: Liam... Bridget was married to Jack's father and Taylor gave birth to him. Mom was with Ridge... It's confusing. 

Liam: I see. You are right...

Hope: However... I still think that we failed him. 

Hope starts getting teary eyed. 

Hope: No matter who gave birth to him... His real mother is Brooke Logan. I really hope that it's not too late for them to have a relationship... I feel so guilty that I didn't do something about it. 

Liam hugs Hope. 

Next scene: Brooke is showing Jack FC.

Brooke: Here is where Ridge designs... 

Ridge: Hi Jack, Hi Logan.

Jack: Hi uncle Ridge. 

Brooke: I'm showing Jack Forrester Creations.

Ridge: Sure, go ahead. 

Jack: Forrester Creations is actually the reason why I've contacted you.

Brooke and Ridge are confused. 

Ridge: Why?

Jack: I saw the fashion show in tv and I saw mom with RJ. 

Brooke: Oh... It had to be...

Jack: Painful? Yes... It was. 

Ridge: Hey kid, you know the circumstances of your birth. It wasn't easy. First Taylor was your mom... Later we all found out that Brooke was the egg donor.

Jack: I view my mom as something more. I see the similarities.

Ridge: Me too. You are a good looking boy. 

Jack: Thanks...

Ridge: Build a bond with your birth mom. Visit us anytime... Just... Please don't view RJ as competition.

Brooke: Ridge!

Jack: Mom, it's ok... I know what uncle Ridge meant. You don't have to worry. 

Brooke keeps on staring at Ridge angrily. 

Next scene: Steffy was still at home. She decided to go to work later on to spend some time looking at Phoebe's old pics that were on Finn's SD card. She sat by the laptop, took a deep breath and started opening photos one by one.

Steffy: Ok, let' do this...

When she saw the first photo she touched the screen gently... She moved her finger through Phoebe's face.
