Thomas sits in his hotel room deep in his thoughts, "How did it come to this, how have I let things get so out of control." He thinks to himself that he needs to turn things around and make a better life for him and Douglas.

He reaches out to his father, but Ridge ignores his calls, he calls his mother.

"Hello honey, how are you doing?" Taylor sweetly says on the other line.

"I've messed things up mom, and I need to figure out how to make things right, not just for me, but for Douglas too."

"I'm very proud of you for reaching out for help, I think I'm a little bias so maybe you should reach out to a different psychiatrist." Taylor suggests.

"I think your right, I also think I just need to get out of LA for a while. I tried to call Dad but he's been ignoring my calls."

"Don't worry about your father, just focus on yourself, that's the best thing you can do for Douglas and yourself."

"Thanks Mom, I love you."

"I love you too sweetie."

Thomas hangs up the phone and contemplates whether or not to call his sister. "I'll call Hope first so I can talk to Douglas."

"Hello." Hope answers angrily.

"Hope hi, I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now."

"You've got that right."

"I need to talk to Douglas, I'll be leaving town for a while and"

"Seriously Thomas!" Hope interrupts, "your abandoning Douglas again!"

"No, no. I'm going to New York to get some help and sort out my life. So I can do what's best for Douglas."

"Yeah I've heard that before." Snaps Hope, "I've been discussing this with my mother and I think we need to revisit the custody agreement and Liam and I will take full custody of Douglas."

"You can't do that Hope, I'm his father." Thomas says not believing what he is hearing.

"Well I'm his mother." Hope coldly snaps back.

"I know you have stepped up as his mother but legally you cannot do this to me, you did not adopt him, despite what your mother thinks. We have a custody agreement."

"Well we will see about that. I'll tell Douglas your leaving." Hope hangs up the phone without letting Thomas say anything to Douglas.

Thomas cradles his head in his hands. "Unbelievable." Thomas says to himself. He picks up his phone and looks through his contacts and calls.

"Hello."

"Hey Steff, I know you probably never want to see or talk to me again."

"Thomas sure I'm mad at you, but your my brother. I still love you." Steffy sweetly says.

"Thanks, I can use all the people I can in my corner right now, I know you have a lot on your plate right now but I have a favor to ask."

"Thomas I don't know if I can convince Dad to get you your job back right now, I'm not exactly on speaking terms with him right now."

"No no, it's not that, I'm going to go to New York for a while. I looked into a really great place where I can get some help and straighten my life out, for Douglas' sake."

"Thomas, that's very responsible of you, I'm proud of you and you have my full support. What is the favor you need." Steffy inquires.

"Can you look in on Douglas for me, maybe set up some play dates with him and Kelly and Hayes? I want to make sure he is surrounded by people who will remind him I love him and I know I've made a lot of mistakes and will try to make things right."

"Absolutely, but I don't think Hope is going to bad mouth you to Douglas, so I don't think you have anything to worry about there."

"I don't know about that, she told me she and Liam are going to go for full custody of Douglas."

"What!" Steffy shouts so suddenly Thomas almost drops the phone. "She can't do that! Your his father!"

"I know, which is why this trip is more important than ever, I have a lot of work to do. For me and my son's sake. I'll be leaving tonight."

"Ok, have a safe flight and keep me informed. And Thomas."

"Yes."

"Anything you need please do not hesitate to call me. I am here for you."

"Thanks Steff, I love you."

"I love you too, be safe."

"I will, give the kids a hug and a kiss for me." Thomas hangs up the phone. "I have to pack."
