"THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL": Hope goes into labor while waiting for Liam on Catalina Island. Liam desperately tries to get to Hope but is unable to due to high winds and storm conditions. The hotel manager helps Hope get to the clinic on Catalina Island. Liam reaches out to his father, Bill, in hopes he will come through with the Spencer helicopter. Dr. Buckingham, Hope's doctor, assures Hope everything will be okay when the power goes out.

In denial that she is in labor, Hope regrets leaving Los Angeles. Bill calls Brooke to tell her that Hope is in labor on Catalina Island and that Liam is on his way. The thug takes surveillance pictures of Zoe. Reese assures Hope that not only is he a licensed obstetrician, but so is Zoe's dad. As Reese assures Hope that her baby is OK, he receives a text message from the thug he owes money to, threatening Zoe's life. Liam flies through the night — in a storm — to get to Hope before their baby is born. Buckingham trades a baby that died with Hope's live baby. Hope, crushed, thinking her baby died, pulls away from all the people who love her.
