Sheila: Well, youā you canāt begin to know what this means to me, hearing those words. Hearing you say that you love me.
Steffy: Oh, my god.
Sheila: Thatās all Iāve ever wanted. Itās all Iāve dreamed of and now, knowing that I amā¦ that Iā that I approached you on a beach, youā you didnāt recoil. You didnāt tell me what a monster I was. You heard me out and I heard you and still, I mean, to think that it wouldā it would lead to this. Falling in love, but it has. I love you and you love me and that is everything, Bill. That is everything.
Katie: Wait a second. Sheila is free because of Bill?
Carter: That doesnāt make any sense. Thereās no mention of Bill being involved at all.
Finn: Sheila wouldnāt be a free woman if it werenāt for your ex-husband.
Katie: That doesnāt make any sense. Bill canāt just wave a magic wand and Sheila walks.
Carter: Yeah, as powerful as he is, Billās not even capable of that.
Katie: I mean, how could he have made that happen? And what possible reason could he have had?
Finn: Look. The last thing Steffy and I expected was for Sheila to walk free. Weāre both shocked and confused andā
Katie: Wait, wait, wait. You told the judge everything and they still let Sheila go?
Carter: She has a list of charges and thereās not even a full trial? Finn, man, Iā I donāt get it. Why?
Finn: Blackmail.
Katie: Sheilaās blackmailing Bill?
Finn: No. Billās blackmailing Steffy and me.
Katie: What?
Finn: Thatās what this is all about. Billās blackmailing us to keep Sheila from paying for the crimes that she committed.
[ Katie sighing ]
Steffy: Bill, donāt let her do this to you. Sheila is using you. She knows nothing about love.
Sheila: Well, thatās not true. Iāve been unlucky in love, until now. You heard Bill. He loves me and I love him.
Taylor: You donāt know how to love.
Steffy: All you do is manipulate and destroy.
Bill: All right, stop. Both of you.
Sheila: God, why canāt we just stop this, all right? We are all very much aware of my past and I have made someā some horrible decisions that I am ashamed of, but Iām not alone, Steffy, with that. Now, we have all made mistakes, your mother included. I mean, Taylor made one that Iām sure she will regret for the rest of her life. Bill kept quiet about your mother shooting him. He forgave Taylor and moved on, so why is it so difficult for the two of you to do the same? I mean, we could justā we could go on and live our lives. Steffy, you love my son. And Iā I love Bill. We love each other. They say thatā that love changes a person and I already feel that happening for me. Canāt we just accept the situation, please? Youāre gonna have to accept it. You have no choice.
Taylor: Why is that? Because you think thereās nothing we can do?
Sheila: There is nothing you can do.
Taylor: I donāt know about that. I can confess. I can go to the police. I can tell them what happened all those years ago. I was the one who shot Bill. I can do that. And then guess what? No more blackmail. And you go to prison for the rest of your life.
Carter: I mean, Bill can be ruthless, yes, in business, butā¦ I mean, Steffy is the mother to his granddaughter. To put a knife to her throat, to yours, too…
Katie: What could he possibly he have on you that would be worth blackmailing you over?
Finn: I canāt get into the details, but what Billās doing is reprehensible.
Katie: Iāve known Bill for a very long time. We were married, we share a son and Iāve seen all sides of him, good and bad, but for him to do this, to protect Sheila, Iā I justā I canāt even imagine what heās thinking.
Finn: Apparently, Bill and Sheila are in a relationship.
Katie and Carter: What?
[ Katie sighing ]
Taylor: Itās a simple solution, really. I confess. Yeah, Iā I lose everything, but if I were to allow you to blackmail my daughter and me, it would be so much worse. Because that would mean that Sheila gets away with shooting Steffy and Finn and all the lives that youāve destroyed, and Iā Iā I canāt let that happen.
Steffy: Mom, please. You do not have to do this.
Taylor: No, but I do.
Steffy: No, you don’t.
Taylor: Yes, I do. Look, Iā Iā I shouldāve come forward years ago because if I didā
Steffy: No, Mom, you need to stop blaming yourself. You were protecting me. Stop.
Taylor: From Bill. From Bill. Isnāt this ironic? Here I am protecting you again and Iāllā and Iāllā Iāll keep doing it. I am not going to let you and Finn and Hayes and Kelly be in danger. Because heās allowing this woman toā to be out on the streets, to escape justice. Iām the only one that can stop this.
Steffy: No, you canāt, Mom. Bill already bought a judge. Heāll buy another and another. Heāll do whatever it takes to keep Sheila out of prisonā
Sheila: And you will end up in jail for the rest of your life.
Steffy: Can you just shut it, Sheila? Shut it.
Sheila: You know, whether you believe me or not, I donāt want to see your mother go to jail. Taylor, you saved my life and I saved yours. Iā why canāt we just live our lives? I mean, we can go on in peace and live in love and be with our families. Can you imagine your life without your grandchildren? Without your daughter orā or your son? And from what I understand, Thomas could really use his motherās guidance right now.
Taylor: Donāt you dare use my son and do not talk about him right now.
Bill: Thatās not sheās doing.
Steffy: Thatās exactly what sheās doing. I canāt believe youāre defending her.
Sheila: Letās just take a minute here, okay, and catch our breath. Letās start out by acknowledging a fact, that the woman standing before you today is not the same woman that you feared and loathed.
Taylor: Because youāve changed? No, Sheila. Weāve heard that before. Weāre not buying it.
Sheila: Yeah, well whether you believe it or not, itās true.
Steffy: Oh, you know nothing about the truth, Sheila.
Bill: Sheila will not be a threat to you, to your mother or anyone else.
Sheila: Itās true because I have everything Iāve always wanted. To be appreciated, valued and most importantly, loved.
Steffy: Oh, my god.
Sheila: I suppose we shouldāve expected it. Taylor turning herself in just to see me go back to jail, but the way Steffy was pleading with her to not go through with itā¦ what do you think?
Bill: If something comes up, weāll figure it out. Together.
Katie: This doesnāt make any sense. Bill is a lot of things, but he is not an idiot. He would never get involved with someone as diabolical as Sheila. Oh, we just heard. Sheila is free and itās all because of Bill.
Finn: Iām glad youāre okay.
Steffy: Yeah.
Finn: I, uh, explained to Katie and Carter about the blackmail, but I didnāt get into details.
Katie: And weāre not asking. I just couldnāt be more stunned. I mean, I know Bill better than anyone. For him to defend Sheila and get her out of jail because heās personally involved with her? I mean, it justā it canāt be possible.
Steffy: Yeah, thatās what I thought, but sadly, itās true.
Taylor: Yeah, Steffy and i were just over at Billās and Sheila was with him.
Katie: I gotta talk to Bill. I gotta confront him.
Carter: Iāll go with you.
Katie: No, I think itās best if I go by myself.
Carter: What if Sheila’s there?
Katie: I will handle her. The stakes are too big.
Sheila: It is unbelievable to me that in this very room, Taylor pulled a gun on you and shot you in the back. Thank god you survived.
Bill: Hm. I doubt a lot of people would agree with you. Especially now.
Sheila: Are you worried about what people think? Because Iām not andā and I don’t. Oh, wait. There was that one time where I came back for my sonās wedding and that did matter because I knew that the Forresters would be against me and that I was going to have to prove to them that Iā I was a changed woman for them to accept me and let me be part of their family, but it really didnāt really matter because Steffy refused to accept me and, you know what? All of the Forresters didnāt and the Logans and that holds true to this day. But then, you came along. And this incredible thing happened between us. I never wouldāve guessed in a million years that you wouldāve been the man, the love that Iāve been looking for all these years, but you are. You always will be.
Steffy: You should have seen my mom. She really let Bill have it.
Taylor: Ugh. I mean, heāsā heās blackmailing us. Heās blackmailing us so that someone as dangerous as Sheila is free. Free to terrorize the people I love.
Steffy: My mom still wants to turn herself in.
Taylor: Oh, thereā
Steffy: Put an end to this.
Taylor: Yeah, well, there wouldnāt be anything to put an end too if I hadnāt lost control that night and shot Bill.
Steffy: Mom, stop. I know what happened is always gonna haunt you, but you canāt keep doing this to yourself.
Taylor: I think about it. I donāt evenā I donāt even recognize myself. Itāsā itās like Iā I donāt know who I was, you know? To actually pick up a gun, aim it andā andā and pull the trigger.
Steffy: Mom, you need to stop beating yourself up. Bill has lost his mind and heās blackmailing us because heās supposedly in love with Sheila.
Finn: What? Love?
Steffy: Oh, yeah. Bill professed his love to Sheila right in front of my mom and me. Like anyone could ever love a woman like Sheila. Itās like so vile. But, I guess the spell that she cast over him is working because he is committed to defending her. Bill is lost to Sheila and that is gonna destroy him. His love for her will destroy him.
Bill: Meeting you, the time we spent together, I finally know what thatās supposed to feel like. I love you, Sheila.
Katie: I know what happened. How Sheila avoided going back to prison, where she belongs. And youāre involved and I donātā I donāt understand that. Iām just wrap my head around that and I canāt, so thatās why Iām here because Iām hoping that you can explain it to me because you donāt do anything without a reason. Steffy and Finn say that youāre blackmailing them and Iā Iā I donāt know why and I donāt really want to know what the specifics are, it doesnāt matter. I justā Iām just hoping that I could get through to you and maybe you could help me understand. I know you better than anyone. Maybe even better than you know yourself. You said that to me. Youāve told me that. Andā and this is not you. Sheila Carter? Bill, you know. You know all of the horrific things sheās done. How can you defend her? Her presence in our lives. Her evil presence, it threatens all of us. Think about will. Think about our son. How are you going to explain this to him? How? How are you going to explain her? How could you even imagine her being anywhere near our child? [ Katie sighing ] I know you havenāt been yourself lately, and Iāve been really worried about you, I have and I know that youā you asked me to help you and I didnāt and Iā and I wish I could take that back. I wish I could and Iām so, so sorry, but for you to do something like this, Iā youāre the one who was responsible for getting her arrested and that was a good thing. That was good. And now Steffy and Finn areā are saying that youāre in some kind of relationship with her, which is crazy. Itāsā itās not possible. I get it. Youāreā youāre depressed. I get it. Youāreā youāre sad and youāre lonely and I know what that feels like, I do. I know what it feels like. It feels horrible, but I can help you. I can help you with that. You donāt have to turn to someone like Sheila Carter, you don’t. You donāt because she will hurt you. Thatās all sheās good at. Thatās what she does. You canāt allow her into your life and into this home. You canāt allow it, Bill.
Sheila: Itās too late for that, Katie. You passed up on the greatest man alive and he exposed you to a life that you could never dream of. Heās powerful and heās passionate and heās the love of my life and Iām the love of his.
[ Katie scoffing ]
Katie: The love of his life. You have to listen to me, please. Please, just listen. She doesnāt love you. Sheās not capable of it. She destroys. And she will take everything you love and care about and she will break it. You have to get her out of your life. You have to. If you donāt, then we are at the mercy of her. All of us. You especially. You have to see that. Please tell me that you see that. Please tell me that you will do whatever it takes to send her back to prison, where she belongs.
