The Thomas-Hope-Liam arc can't be over already...

Something seems off. The story still feels very uncomplete.

All those weeks of buildup weren't inserted for nothing.
It can't be as simple as Liam just telling Hope "I told you so, Thomas was still obsessed with you"
... and Hope saying "yes you were right, he tried to kiss me, I should have told you" and then we move on to the next story...

For almost 3 months Liam Hope and Brooke have debated over whether Thomas has changed or not. Thomas had multiple fantasies. They had numerous conversations about Douglas' living arrangements. Dozens of scenes together over the last 3-4 months. Then we had 1 entire week for preparations of the fashion show and another week for the fashin show. Then Thomas tried to kiss her, she rejected him, went home and hugged Liam. She agreed to keep this almost kiss between them.

The storyline shifted back to Brooke/Ridge/Taylor and the CPS scheme, but there is no way Thomas' arc with Lope is over. I thought he was gonna use the voice app to make Liam think Hope was in love with him... apparently I was wrong about this, but there has to be more.

I have the feeling Hope is still gonna side with Thomas after she knows his secret. I'm not saying this to criticize her, I like Hope and Liam together. But there has to be more angst for them. Thomas is about to lose everything. Ridge will go back to Brooke and might turn on Thomas for good this time (not peremanently of course, but for a good while). Douglas will probably want to go back to the cabin. Even Steffy and Taylor might be very angry at him. He will have no one on his side...
I'm not saying Hope won't care... at first, she will be disappointed. She will call him out and tell him he was wrong, but I doubt this feeling will stay for long. She will see him alone and miserable. paying the price of his actions. Inevitably she will feel bad for him. Liam (and Brooke) may want her to sue for sole custody of Douglas this time, but she won't agree. She will still root for him to change and become a better man and father. He will tell her he is sorry and he has changed and she will believe him (whether he has changed or not will be up to debate, again) And this will cause more tensions between her and Liam, especially if he learns Thomas tried to kiss her and she didn't tell him.

I still don't think she has romantic feelings for Thomas, but she obviously likes the fact that he is a one-woman man and that he is still so hopelessly in love with her. Her fashion show was a huge success, her line was saved and mostly thanks to him... she won't forget it. This is why it won't take long until she forgives this scheme and starts siding with him again. Aftewards, I don't know where this is headed. I doubt they end up together, all I'm saying is this arc is far from over.

There must be some reason Hopes got the kid down the road sometime guess we will find out why bell tied them together for life with that kid
