Soon after, Caroline broke up with Ridge and moved away with Thomas and Douglas.

Thomas returned with Douglas after Caroline died from a blood clot, and Hope became enamored with the child.

Thomas used Douglas to present an engagement ring to Hope, trying to get her to marry him.

However,Thomas was still infatuated with Hope.

It soon became clear he’d go to great lengths to get her back.

She convinced Thomas to sign papers that would allowboth of them to have shared custody.

Thomas didn’t want her to leave, opting to celebrate first.

Hope realized that Douglas was hidden somewhere on the property and ran off to find him in a panic.

Thomas chased her, and they found themselves in the back room of the business.

Hope saw danger everywhere, and she was right to be scared.

Not thinking about anything but having Hope to himself, Thomas moved in and tried to kiss her.

In the blink of an eye, Thomas appeared to be dead.

Eventually, Thomas showed up at the despondent Hope’s place.

He apologized for his actions and stated that he didn’t remember much after he fell.

Hope felt bad for everything, including telling a select few that he was dead.

Thomas, in turn, apologized for hiding for several days, making her believe he was dead.

He asserted that he just wanted to have a family with her and Douglas.

What will happen next with the pair is anyone’s guess.
