Deacon will be in for a surprise when Sheila reappears on his doorstep, telling him she knows his secret. A panicked Deacon will try to dismiss Sheila’s claims, but she’s not going anywhere. She loves Deacon and wants to be with him. But does Deacon still want to be with her?

Hope Imagines A Future With Thomas

Douglas’ surprise romantic dinner for Thomas and Hope appears to do the trick. After a meal of pizza and fries, the couple enjoys some alone time once Douglas leaves with Donna. Thomas and Hope cut to the chase in discussing their feelings. Thomas professes his love for Hope and his desire to be with her. He knows they’re not at that point in their relationship yet, but he’s promises he’ll wait until she’s ready.

Hope is touched by his kind words. She talks about how wonderful it is to be loved by a man who’s committed only to her. After enduring Liam’s endless waffling, Hope finally has a man devoted to her. It’s been rough on Hope since her split with Liam. She thought Liam was her true love, but she was always a second option aside from Steffy.

Although Hope misses her family with Liam, as Thomas reminds her, that’s not the only family she has. Douglas and Thomas are just as much her family as Liam and Beth. Could Hope be ready to be a family of four with Beth, Douglas, and Thomas?

It’s a tempting offer for Hope, but also a decision she needs to think carefully about. Naturally, she’ll have fears given Thomas’ past and role in keeping quiet that Beth was alive. Everyone is quick to rehash Thomas’ mistakes and that will have Hope worries about their future. She’ll worry what people will think when and if she and Thomas go public with their relationship. Liam is someone who won’t be happy with Hope playing house with Thomas. This could potentially lead to a custody battle down the road with Liam threatening to take Beth away.

While things are going smoothly now for Thomas and Hope, that will change when their relationship starts to become serious. Hope might find herself having to choose between two families.
