But Steffy has been balking at the idea of rehiring Zoe, saying that she doesn’t think Zoe is trustworthy.

Of course, B&B viewers know that Zoe kept the secret about Beth’s existence, kidnapping, and illegal adoption from Steffy, Hope, and Liam for months, and that’s not something that Steffy can just overlook. But due to Liam’s pressure, Steffy will rehire Zoe, but there will be an unforeseen complication – Zoe will now be in a romantic relationship with Thomas.
