Carter: Quinn.
Quinn: I don’t know if it’s safe for me to come in.
Carter: It’s safe.
Quinn: Well, you’re… probably wondering why I’m here. Eric sent me.
Finn: Everyone’s down in there. Steffy fell asleep with hayes.
Paris: Aw, that’s so sweet. Well, I don’t blame her. She does so much.
Finn: Yeah. And until recently, she had something else to deal with. Something not so pleasant.
Paris: You mean sheila.
Finn: Yeah. And every time I look at my son I– I hear steffy’s voice. The fear just underneath the surface, desperation. You know steffy. She’s a warrior. She’s not afraid of anything. Not until sheila got into the picture. I mean, for her to be so adamant about keeping sheila away from hayes, it’s–
Paris: Can I… do you mind if I ask you a question?
Finn: No, not at all?
Paris: How do you really feel about all of this?
Finn: I try not to think about how I feel.
Paris: Well, I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Finn: I’m too conflicted. Too removed. Yes, sheila is my birth mother but I don’t know her. Steffy and the forrester’s do and they all say the same thing. That she’s psychotic and dangerous. I mean, she is a threat to the family and to my newborn son. She gets fixated on things and may even try to take hayes.
Paris: Well, people change. Maybe she’s not the same person that she was before.
Finn: No one believes that.
Paris: Do you?
Finn: I believe people can change. Whether or not sheila has, I couldn’t tell you. Her wishes and her instincts.
Paris: Wow. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you.
[ Door knocking ]
Eric: Already?
Ridge: Hey, it’s us.
Eric: Yeah, so I see. Here to take another crack at your old man?
Brooke: Will it help?
Ridge: No, you didn’t sign these before you left.
Brooke: We wanted
Eric: Well, as you can see, I’m fine.
Ridge: As we can see, you’re drinking alone. Where’s quinn?
Carter: Eric sent you?
Quinn: Yeah, he, uh,
Qnnui: Yeah, he, uh, he asked me to deliver this. Says it’s sensitive material and you need to have it right away.
Carter: Don’t you think that’s odd?
Quinn: You know what, carter, I don’t even know what to think anymore. Take it. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!
Paris: Not to put you on the spot, but doesn’t a little part of you want to know sheila?
Finn: I mean, under different circumstances, it’s only natural, right?
Paris: That’s what I’ve been saying. It’s only natural. That desire deserves to be given consideration.
Finn: Did you not hear the “under different circumstances”? Sheila has done terrible things to the forrester’S. Criminal things. She shot steffy’s mother. Of course, steffy’s gonna hate her.
Paris: Yeah, well, you can know that and still feel a sense of loss. It sucks that you can’t share that with steffy because of their history. I know it must be hard for you.
Finn: Well, thankfully, I’ve got you. You’re a good friend, paris.
Paris: Well, I’ll always be here for you, finn. You and steffy. So, steffy really thinks sheila faked the collapse?
Finn: She doesn’t think it. She’s convinced. She has been from the start.
Paris: You’re a doctor. Wouldn’t you know if sheila was faking?
Finn: Honestly, I don’t know. My objectivity might be compromised. But it really doesn’t matter. Steffy doesn’t want sheila around and I stand by my wife.
Paris: Speaks to the kind of partner you are. Steffy insisting that there’s no middle ground. That you should shut sheila all the way out, period? I’m just wondering if cutting ties with you birth mother forever is really how you wanna handle this.
Eric: I appreciate your concern, but why would my having a martini by myself here be a cause for alarm?
Brooke: Have to admit, it is kind of strange.
Eric: Really? Why?
Brooke: Quinn wanted nothing more but for you to forgive her for what she did with carter and take her back. And now that you have, you’re here drinking alone?
Ridge: Where’s your doting wife?
Eric: What if I told you she was upstairs reading a book?
Ridge: Is she?
Eric: No, she’s not. She’s out. She’s out enjoying herself.
Brooke: Enjoying herself? She can’t do that with you?
Eric: Well, I can’t win with the two of you, can I? You know, if she were here having a drink with me, you wouldn’t approve of that either.
Brooke: Well, at least we would know that she wasn’t with carter again.
Eric: Why would you say that?
Brooke: Eric, I don’t trust her. And neither should you.
Eric: Yeah, well I do. And look, she’s younger than I am, in case you haven’t noticed that.
Ridge: When did that become relevant?
Eric: Look, we’re in different stages of our life, all right? I don’t wanna hold her back.
Quinn: What does it say? Unless, of course, it’s for your eyes only.
Carter: “Tonight is yours”.
Quinn: I love my husband. What makes this impossible is I love you too.
Think wearing less makeup
means no need for a wipe?
Finn: I won’t lie. It has been surreal. I’ve wondered about my birth mother since I found out I was adopted. What did she look like? What was her personality, which is funny how things turn out because I never would have imagined this.
Paris: Yeah, how could you? Your birth mother turns out to be your wife’s worst nightmare. The woman who terrorized the family you married into.
Finn: The forrester’s all agreed, the best way to safeguard hayes and the family is to keep him away from sheila.
Paris: Do you agree?
Finn: I have to. I can’t take chances with my son’s welfare. On my wedding day, all of a sudden, there she was and I was amazed. I kept thinking, this can’t be happening.
Paris: I bet you were so happy.
Finn: Yeah, I was, but not for long. Talk about crashing back down to earth in a hurry. The forrester’s took one look and all hell broke loose. Nothing’s really been the same since.
Paris: Well, I’m sorry you’re dealing with such a challenging thing right now. But I really do admire you for standing with steffy. You’re an incredible man.
Brooke: I don’t understand, eric. How are you holding quinn back? She knew what she was getting into when she chose to marry an older man.
Ridge: Look, I’m not sure if it came out the way you wanted it to come out.
Brooke: That’s not what I meant. You’re not old, eric. In fact, you’re handsome and sexy.
Eric: There was a time I felt that way.
Ridge: See? That. What is that? You never used to do this, this self-deprecating thing. You’re one of the most confident guys I know.
Brooke: It’s true, what is that? Did quinn take away your confidence? See, this is what I’m talking about. She’s not good for you, eric. She is careless with your feelings.
Eric: No, quite the opposite. Quite the opposite. She’s been more attentive to my feelings lately than she ever has been before.
Brooke: Maybe for now, because you forgave her for her betrayal with carter. But just give her time and she may do something that disappoints you again. All I’m saying, eric, is that you deserve better.
Ridge: Dad, we’re concerned about you.
Eric: Well, you can stop that. Quinn’s not the problem. I am.
Carter: This is crazy. And I’ve made no secret about my feelings and I love you too, but this– this thing between us. It’s crazy.
Quinn: This is insane.
Carter: It’s insane. But it’s undeniable. I respected your decision to go back to your husband.
Quinn: I know.
Carter: And I want you to be happy, I really do. I do, but I can’t deny it, quinn. This connection that we have, this… this thing, quinn. I miss it and I miss you. I miss making love to you, I miss being with you and we kept our distance because we didn’t want to disrespect eric, but he’s pushing it, he’s pushing us. And it wouldn’t be disrespectful now. Would it?

If you have postmenopausal
osteoporosis
Paris: What?
Finn: Just grateful for you. Happy you came into my life.
Paris: Goes both ways.
Finn: Maybe. But I need you more.
Paris: You need me?
Finn: You understand me. Your empathy, it means so much to me during this strange time. Having a safe place to put the feelings I can’t burden steffy with.
Paris: Well you know you can talk to me about anything.
Finn: I do. And I appreciate that more than I can say. There is something so special about you, paris.
Finn: Paris? We’re in the clear. Steffy has hayes under control.
Paris: What?
Finn: No, it’s just– thanks for listening. For being there.
Paris: My pleasure. Any time.
Finn: You’re very special, you know that?

Brooke: You’re the problem, not quinn? How could that be true?
Eric: Well it is, believe me.
Brooke: Eric, you keep defending her.
Eric: Somebody has to defend her.
Ridge: I know you’re joking, but you know what, none of this is funny. It’s not funny. We’re trying to protect you.
Brooke: She has proven that she can’t be trusted over and over again. She does something that’s unforgivable and you forgive her. You take her back, things are fine for a while, but then she does something else. I mean, my god, she slept with carter.
Eric: Yes, I’m well aware. I haven’t forgotten that. Look, this conversation is boring me–
Brooke: Eric, eric, we don’t mean to be tiresome. We just love you.
Eric: I know.
Brooke: You deserve to have a woman who gets everything she needs right here with you in your home. And I just don’t think that’s quinn. I mean, for all we know, she’s with somebody else as we speak. Look, I know you were devastated about quinn and carter, I just don’t want to see you hurt like that ever again.
Ridge: Goodnight.
Eric: I’m good.
