Steffy finally goes through how she found out. It was really random, she just happened to go to Bill’s house and Liam was on the ground.

She called 911 and they thought it was a brain injury at first. Later, doctors realized Liam has a brain mass.

Hope brings up treatments. Her rival informs her that the tumor is inoperable. Steffy mentions that Liam wanted her to keep the secret, but she felt Hope deserved to know.
