Brooke tried to reason with Hope about ending her affair and working out her marriage, but insisting that Liam was probably already begging Steffy, Hope became determined to be with the man who loved only her. Wyatt was surprised when Liam admitted that he'd kissed Steffy twice, but Liam insisted that it had been a mistake. Liam and Hope met to discuss their marriage, but reaching a stalemate about Steffy and Thomas, Liam and Hope signed divorce papers. Wyatt visited Hope to find out what was going on in her head. Finn examined Sheila before her trial hearing, and as he left, Sheila hugged him, causing feelings to stir within him. The Spencer and Forrester families gathered in a judge's chambers for Sheila's sentencing but were shocked when the judge threw out the charges due to an illegal search and seizure and improper surveillance techniques. Liam observed Finn hugging a newly free Sheila in the corridor.

Gladys continued to undermine Sasha, and disaster struck when Sasha -- caught in the grips of a hallucination -- stabbed Cody. Sasha was arrested and sent to Ferncliff.
