Macy urges Deacon to take control of his relationship with Hope by calling Brooke and telling her that he wants to spend time with his daughter. At first Brooke takes her usual position of saying that it's not a good idea and she doesn't want Deacon to be around Hope. Encouraged by Macy, Deacon insists that he wants very much to make up for the time he's already lost. With Macy's help he is completely ready to take Hope with him for a couple of hours. Macy helped him to get formula, a car seat, and a portable crib. It takes a while, but Brooke finally agrees to let Deacon see Hope. Deacon leaves Macy's home and goes to get his daughter.

She is determined to help keep Deacon from being victimized by Brooke. Macy tells her mother that if Brooke hadn't come between her and Thorn, they might have children now. She vows she will do everything in her power to stop Brooke from letting Deacon be part of his child's life.

Nick arrives for a planned run with Brooke. She tells him she can no longer go because of Deacon coming over. Nick doesn't understand why Deacon would be coming to Brooke's home until Brooke explains their connections. She is surprised when Nick is not shocked, disappointed or judges her past actions. On the contrary, he is supportive of Brooke while being fair in his comments about Deacon. He tells Brooke that Hope needs to spend time with her father and that on the previous occasion when he met Deacon at Marone Industries, he didn't think that Deacon was such a bad guy. Just when he thinks he may have made his point, he hears Brooke give Hope's nanny permission to take her out of the house to the park before Deacon arrives in an attempt to interfere with his visit. It doesn't work because as they are walking out the door, Deacon arrives. After more convincing of Brooke, he is able to take Hope with him back to Macy's home.

Macy tells Deacon she is glad that he is getting the chance to be a dad to his daughter and she plans to leave them alone to bond. Deacon asks her to stay. It doesn't take long for Macy to become completely enchanted with Hope.
