is Phoebe. After Steffy returns with Kelly from a doctors appointment, Liam and Hope break the news to her that Flo, who was the supposed birth mother confessed that Phoebe is Beth and that she is not the birth mother. Also they fill Steffy in on Dr Buckingham switching Beth with a stillborn baby, and that he sold Beth to Steffy because of his gambling debt. However Liam and Hope tells Steffy that Taylor was not involved in the illegal adoption, and that she wanted to give Steffy a daughter by paying Reese a lot of money. Unaware that Taylor gave Reese the money for his gambling debt. Liam reveals who knows about Beth being alive including Thomas. Steffy at first refuses to give up Beth because she had bonded with her and loves her, but after realizing that Beth is Hopes daughter (even though there is no proof) and that Hope never got the chance to be Beth's mother, Steffy gives Beth back to Hope. After Liam, Brooke, and Hope leave with Beth, Steffy collapses in Ridges arms crying over the loss of Phoebe. Shortly thereafter, Steffy hears that Thomas was in the hospital due to being pushed off the edge of her cliff house by Brooke. Steffy then confronts Thomas at the hospital. Steffy informs Thomas that she will never forgive him and he will never see Kelly, or her ever again. However with the help from Ridge, Steffy slowly forgives Thomas. Liam and Brooke believes that Thomas is still obsessed with Hope even after giving her parental rights to Douglas. Liam then asks her to hire Zoe back to spy on Thomas. Steffy agrees but warns Zoe to not betray her and her family again. Zoe is hired again and is now dating Thomas. Steffy and Hope believes that Thomas has changed even with dating Zoe. Liam stays at Steffy's house after a fight with Hope over giving up her rights to Douglas. Thomas calls Steffy to kiss Liam to break up Liam and Hope, and tells her that he will call her when Hope arrives as a signal to see them kiss. Steffy kisses Liam and Hope is heartbroken when she sees them both kiss. Hope breaks up with Liam and kicks him out of the cabin. Liam stays at the cliff house with Steffy and Kelly. Steffy feels guilty and tries to tell Liam, but
