Brooke thinks he must be maladjusted.

More concerning than the knife is Thomas not bringing the child home. Hope points out that has been at Douglas’ request.

Her mom reminds her of how devious Thomas is.

“He may have fooled some people, but not me,” she declares.

After Brooke leaves, Hope notices she left her purse and groans, knowing she will be back for it.

Liam knows that Douglas must find being at Eric’s awesome, but home is home and that’s with them.

There’s nothing Hope wants more but she doesn’t want to impede the progress he’s made with his father. Liam points out Douglas can visit whenever he wants.

He’s starting to wonder if they are still on the same page about having Douglas at home with them.

Liam knows a custody battle would not be ideal, but they need to be vigilant.

They can’t take Thomas’ word that he’s mentally healthy.

She’ll concede that the story with the knife is disconcerting, but Thomas’ general behavior has been positive.

Liam repeats that Douglas needs to go back to his routine.

Brooke returns to back this up and says she will do whatever she can to get the child back to them.
