02:31um just laying low i'm still processing everything
02:36you know not just that i have my freedom back but
02:39all the incredible changes in my life like
02:42finding out that you're my grandma
02:44finding out that finn's my dad
02:47there's nothing i want more than a relationship with my father
03:01have you heard from your father at all
03:07no
03:08and it's hard not to feel rejected
03:11i can't even speak to him
03:13it's so unfair
03:15i need a place in my dad's life
03:18how often have you been having the dizzy spells

03:27although i feel like they're getting a little more frequent
03:29any other symptoms
03:31blurriness um and then those little like the floaty spot yeah things i'm definitely not surprised by that
03:40visual disturbance is common in patients with a occipital lobe mass
03:45and there's no like they can't just cut it out
03:53not in your case liam
03:55surgery's not an option
03:58no no i refuse to believe that
04:04i wish it wasn't true
04:06why are you saying all of this when it when it's not true
04:13no i i'm i'm calling liam right now
04:17no no no don't you do that
04:18don't you don't please don't please don't please
04:19please you have to listen to me
04:20just listen to me for a second okay
04:22i know this is really painful okay
04:24but we have to face this and we need to face this together
04:27kelly and beth are losing their father hope
04:31you're so much alike you've done things you regret wish you could take back
04:49absolutely but i know that i've changed
04:55you've changed i'm you're you're growing you're maturing you're you're remorseful trying to make amends for everything that you've done
05:04yeah and i know that what i did was horrible and and i deserve to be locked up for it but i'm sorry that bill took pity on me but i wasn't gonna deny his help right but i'm not here being treated like a pariah nobody but you wants anything to do with me not even my own father
05:21i was really hoping that things would be different but if you're reaching out to my son and he's not returning your taxes we both know why grandma it's because of his wife
05:36steffi has her reasons to hate me but but i refuse to let her keep me away from my father
05:42so what is the plan moving forward
05:49uh the plan plan is um just cross my fingers and i hope the universe gives me enough more days
05:59my daughters you know stephanie are hoping for that too
06:03no so is your entire neuro team
06:07and look we're still looking for any possible solution
06:12i try to buy you as much time as we can
06:16yeah i mean it leo hey we're gonna be with you every step of the way
06:21but look it's
06:25you're gonna need a lot of emotional support
06:29your family should know what you're going through
06:33i mean
06:34it's not like they're not gonna find out anyway
06:38if they deserve
06:40to grieve with you
06:41to be with you
06:43just say goodbye to me
06:44you me
06:46i get not wanting to tell kelly and beth they're too young
06:51what about your dad
06:54your brothers you have so many people who care about you
06:59they would want to be there for you
07:02no one more than home
07:08i don't want this to be real
07:17neither do i
07:19i don't even know what questions to ask
07:23i completely understand hope
07:25it's a lot to take him
07:27and i look i don't mean to dump all of this on you but you need to know
07:32he's sick isn't he
07:39and he he told you he told you this himself
07:45i found out when he did
07:48ben was taking care of him
07:50it's a really random situation
07:52what does that mean
07:55a few weeks ago i went over to bill's house and
07:59when i got there liam was outside on the ground he was unconscious
08:02he hit his head or something
08:07and there was blood
08:09so i i i called an ambulance and they rushed him to the hospital and he was in critical condition
08:15they said he had a brain injury but
08:18what
08:19dr buckingham and the neuro team they were able to stabilize him
08:23they relieved the pressure on his brain and they saved him
08:26no one
08:28told me anything about that
08:31he didn't want anyone to worry hope
08:33and he was he was actually getting better
08:37well i don't i don't get that
08:40what do you mean by that
08:41he was healing
08:42everything seemed to look good
08:45he was he was fine
08:46until if if he was healing if he was recovered then how can he be dying
08:50well the neuro team they wanted to do additional tests
08:53make sure that he was actually healing and that's when they saw it
08:57someone
08:58a mass on his brain
09:01okay
09:05okay
09:05okay so
09:07then what are the next steps
09:09there are treatments for things like that so
09:11yes but
09:12not in liam's case
09:15not in liam's case
09:16the tumor is inoperable
09:19there's nothing they can do
09:23i've tried apologizing to stephy but she refuses to see me as anything but this this monster and i'm her stepchild i'm her husband's daughter dad and i and my my my little brother would be bonding right now if it weren't for her
09:40you know i've i've said those same words over and over and over luna but at the end of the day finn is always going to stay committed to stephy
09:46you may be able to live with that but i can't just sit back and do nothing
09:51i finally have a chance to get to know the man who created me and and it's somebody that i've admired and adored my entire life

10:53they won't be if you don't give them a chance to share what you're suffering through
10:59they're gonna be sad

11:35and right now i
11:39i don't want anyone to know i'm dying
11:43i don't want anyone to know i'm dying
11:51liam has one of the best neuro teams in the country
11:55and what they the
11:57they can't do anything they can't help them
11:58they would if they could but apparently the surgery is way too dangerous
12:02not liam
12:04it needs to get a second opinion
12:05he's had other specialists
12:07they reviewed his case
12:09i can't i can't believe this
12:15i know
12:17i know
12:19i know
12:22i know
12:27so all these
12:28scans
12:29and tests
12:30have been happening for weeks
12:32so liam has known for weeks
12:33how come i'm only just hearing about this
12:36i
12:38i guess obviously i found out when liam fell
12:40i i just found out about this mess
12:44i don't understand
12:46i don't understand why isn't liam telling me this himself
12:51liam doesn't want anyone to know hope
12:54not even me
12:55he said that
12:57he doesn't want to be a burden
12:59he's not a burden
13:01i mean he's always the one that's helping everyone else
13:04and now what he just wants he wants to go through this alone
13:10he doesn't want kelly or beth to know
13:15and that i understand
13:18because he doesn't want to frighten them
13:20he doesn't want to break their hearts
13:23it's just it doesn't
13:26it doesn't make any sense
13:29why liam
13:31he's so young

15:40i'm
15:51yeah
15:56yeah
16:02yeah
16:06damn
16:37Liam's so special to us. All of us. That's why I had to tell you. I'm really glad that you did. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this with me. I begged him to say something. But he's coping with it his own way.
16:59Let me guess. He's trying to be strong for everyone else. Yeah. Yeah. He's more worried about us than himself. Of course he would be. That's such a Liam thing to do.
17:12Are you sure there's nothing I can do? Because I would give anything to make this not true. I wish it was a mistake. It doesn't make any sense. Liam, he's just always been so healthy. And he's the best.
17:32Oh God, our little girl. I knew this would be your first thought. Mine was Kelly. That's why I felt compelled to come here, Hope.
17:45So you're telling me that our girls are going to grow up without their dad. He won't be at their prom. He won't be at their graduation. He won't be there to walk down the aisle. That's what you're telling me.
17:58Because it doesn't make sense. Because it doesn't make sense. Because he was just here.
18:05And now it all makes sense. Because I knew something was wrong in my gut. And when I tried to bring it up to Liam, he immediately changed the subject and started talking about how he was always going to appreciate what we had and how he'll always love me.
18:19And oh my God, he was saying goodbye. How did I have no idea? I had no idea. How could you?
18:25I feel awful. I feel awful. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
18:35So, what do we do about Beth and Kelly? How do we tell them? I don't know. I'm dreading that day.
18:51Our little girls are going to need each other.
18:55Liam has been such an important role in all of our lives.
19:01And now we have to say goodbye.
19:05How do you say goodbye? How? Because I don't know how.
19:08Debbie, how?
19:12I don't know. I don't know how to say goodbye.
19:17Thank you for telling me.
19:19I don't know.
19:20I don't know.
19:23I don't know.
19:36I don't know.
