and asks how he, as a father, is supposed to support that kind of behavior. Katie calls him out for bringing Deacon back into Brooke and Hope's lives, but Bill points out that Deacon was supposed to disappear. Donna scoffs that the plan sure didn't really work out well. Katie tells Bill he had no right to run his grown son's life, but Bill thinks he had every right as Liam's father. Katie points out how he always defends his actions as "protecting his son" and warns that she won't let him do that to Will, who is his son, too. Bill thinks he might take it all back after seeing how it hurt Katie; Katie accuses of never considering anything but the end game, no matter who gets hurt. Donna gives Bill advice. Donna asks Bill what Hope did to earn his wrath so much that he'd mess with her head. Bill says he thinks Hope is a lovely young girl who will make some guy happy some day, but that guy isn't Liam, who clearly loves another woman. Donna wonders if Bill might be right that Liam belongs with Steffy, not that it excuses Bill's actions, and she suggests that Hope may be too young to marry anyone. Katie looks at her sister, who admits she spoke to Hope at Brooke's, after seeing Liam with Steffy. Katie wonders if Donna told Hope about Italy, but Donna explains that she didn't see the point if Liam is with Steffy
