Thomas playing the hero

If the really would let this story end by suddenly making Tom obsessing again it would be very disappointing.
Just to give Liam a chance to play the hero again?
Suppressing his great love for Steffy, putting his Hope goggles on and taking Hope back, who would be ashamed for falling for Tom's tricks again?
I hope they don't do a thing like this, it would be just going back to the start.

Maybe it will not be as we think....and Thomas does start obsessing again, but Liam does not choose to rush in and save Hope from her stupidity. It could be that Hope saves herself and that SHE is the one that deals with Thomas and his nonsense. Then Hope will truly realize that she destroyed her family for nothing...and that her need to stroke her own ego, triggered Tom back into his obsession. Maybe this is a story about making Hope the one that needs to be completely accountable, and makes the 2 men and her children, victims of her destructive behavior. She was told by her mother that going down the path she was heading would lead to losing everything she wants and heartache for her....and as Brooke said, "I should know" Hope never wanted to be like her mother, so she became like her mother, and now she knows exactly what it is like to be in her mother's shoes. It could be that HOPE is the one now that is going to have the scarlet A on her chest and have the Forrester's sneering at her, and blaming her, and holding her in contempt....for years to come. People use to think Steffy was the new Brooke....maybe it is going to be Hope, that steps into those shoes.

There has been a lot of mention of people being worried that Tom will be triggered and go back down that dark path of obsession. Only this time, it has been pointed out continually that TOM did not pursue Hope, she pursued him. That has been said by all characters....and the fact that even Liam is saying it may mean, that Hope is the one that is going to pay the price for it, and no one else.

Right on, matisse. Excellent post.
