History expansion in scripts

Multi tool use
I have the following Bash script
case $- in (*H*) echo enabled ;; (*) echo disabled ;; esac
set -H
case $- in (*H*) echo enabled ;; (*) echo disabled ;; esac
pwd
last_command="!!"
echo $last_command
which prints
disabled
enabled
/home/user
!!
The first line of code checks to see if history expansion is enabled. The second enables history expansion. The third is the same as the first. Then its runs pwd
and finally assigns what should be last command to last_command
and prints this variable.
The history is not expanding. What is going on?
bash shell-script shell command-history history-expansion
