Grace checks in on Liam, who is anxiously awaiting his medical reports, desperate to leave the hospital and be with Kelly. As he pushes Grace to hurry up the process, the two get into a small disagreement. Liam expresses his frustration, wishing that it was already the day of the daddy-daughter dance so he could be there with Kelly.
At the cliffhouse, Steffy and Finn share an emotional moment as they discuss Liam’s condition. Steffy mentions that Kelly has been asking about her dad, and she’s sure that Beth may have similar questions. Just as their conversation deepens, Kelly arrives, dressed in her dance costume, asking, “Is Daddy here yet?”
The scene transitions to the Forrester mansion, where Ridge and Taylor are arguing over the house, concerned that Donna and Eric might show up again. As they sit down on the couch, their phones buzz with a picture of Kelly in her dress, and they both gush over how adorable she looks, marveling at the bond between Liam and Kelly.
Back at the cliffhouse, Finn tells Steffy that he has to leave. Kelly, full of excitement, says she’ll tell him all about the dance the next day. She then asks Steffy to text Liam and remind him about the event. Steffy, though clearly struggling, gently explains to Kelly that her father may not be able to make it.
At the hospital, Liam becomes increasingly impatient and insists that Kelly comes first. “I’m going. That’s happening. I’m leaving here, picking up Kelly, and you are not stopping me!” he says, disconnecting wires and removing syringes. Determined, Liam rushes out of the hospital toward the cliffhouse.
Kelly waits at the doorstep, hope slowly fading as she wonders if her father will make it in time. Just as she turns to go inside, Liam calls out to her. The two share an emotional embrace. Wanting to make up for the missed dance, Liam asks Steffy to put on music and lights, and father and daughter dance together, creating a special moment they’ll cherish forever.
Meanwhile, Finn receives Liam’s medical reports and is shocked by the scans. He tries to contact Liam, but his efforts are unsuccessful. Finn then sends the reports to Steffy, who, upon reviewing them, realizes the devastating truth—Liam has an inoperable brain tumor. As Steffy watches the heartfelt dance between father and daughter, her eyes fill with tears, knowing the heartbreaking news she now has to face.
