The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Friday, May 12, reveals that Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) finished up a very successful meeting with the buyers (Vivian Huang and Quinn Knox) in San Francisco, so Hope texted Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) that they’d be on their way home soon.
While Hope and Thomas gushed over each other’s talent and their teamwork, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stopped by Spencer Publications and asked if Liam had received updates from Hope.
Liam got Hope’s text and was relieved to know she was almost on her way home.
Unfortunately, Trevor (Ryan Stroud) the Forrester pilot called Hope to reveal that there were mechanical issues, so the plane might not be able to fly out tonight.
Thomas got on the phone and tried to book Hope a commercial flight, but that brought more unfortunate news.
There was only one flight left that Hope could make it to the airport for – and that one was completely booked.
Hope ultimately called Liam and dropped the bomb about the plane having mechanical issues.
Liam assumed Hope would fly commercial, but Hope explained why that wasn’t possible either.
Once Liam realized Hope and Thomas might be stuck in San Francisco together overnight, he was definitely annoyed.
Liam wondered if this was seriously happening, but Hope remained upbeat and suggested that maybe the plane would still be fixed in time.
After Hope hung up, she learned Thomas had ordered room service for them and decided to focus on celebrating how well the meeting went.
Thomas also called the front desk to reserve a room for himself just in case they were indeed stuck there.
Back at Spencer Publications, Liam hated the thought of Hope and Thomas being alone together overnight.
With Liam’s luck, he suggested the hotel would be fully booked too and Thomas would chivalrously offer to share his own room with Hope!
Steffy insisted that wasn’t going to happen and urged Liam to admit Hope’s renewed partnership with Thomas wasn’t the “horror show” that he thought it’d be.
Liam worried it could still turn into one and reflected on how he feared for his marriage when Hope changed her mind about rehiring Thomas for the line.
Steffy eventually thought back to calling Hope out for her feelings for Thomas, but she stayed quiet about that.
Instead, Steffy simply said Thomas had his feelings in check, so Liam didn’t have to worry about him.
In San Francisco again on Friday’s B&B episode, Hope had a wonderful dinner with Thomas and shared a toast with him about continuing to make magic together.
Once Hope praised “Thomas 2.0,” she said it was great to see the improvements he’d made at work and in being a father to Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri). Hope was proud to call Thomas her business partner and friend.
Thomas felt like Hope was giving him a particular look again and wondered what it meant, but she said she didn’t know as she laughed it off.
After Hope talked about her family meaning everything to her, she reflected on how she’d been constantly reassuring Liam.
Hope thought it was ironic that she had to assuage Liam’s fears considering his past mistakes, especially when Hope had never given him a reason to worry about her.
After Hope pointed out that it wasn’t easy to grow up in Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) shadow, she added that some of the judgment regarding her mother was passed down to her.
Hope said she was her own person and ranted about Brooke’s stupid excuse of following her heart when it only leaves a trail of devastation behind her.
Once Hope argued that she never wanted to be like that, she emphasized that her principles and morals mattered to her.
Hope got up from the table, so Thomas followed and insisted she was the most principled, moral person he’d ever met.
Thomas assured Hope that she was nothing like her mother and felt that nothing was going to interfere in her marriage.
Hope hugged Thomas before pulling back as her heart pounded. That led to Hope looking at Thomas’ lips and leaning in a bit like she wanted to kiss him.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Hope and Thomas’ relationship will get even more complicated soon, so stick with the CBS soap!
