[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: It was so good having the morning together.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Just you and me.

Steffy: Yeah. Mm, but you have to go?

Finn: Yeah. I need to get to the hospital.

Steffy: Well, don’t let me stop you.

Finn: You’re not gonna make this easy on me, are you?

Steffy: No, me? Not really.

Finn: Pick this up later.

Steffy: We better.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Steffy: But you’re right, I do have to get ready and start going.

Finn: Mm.

Steffy: Whew.

Finn: Yeah, you got a big day, right? The new forrester dream team is back.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m still– I’m getting used to hope and thomas working together.

Finn: Yeah, not just for you. Oh, I bet, you know? Liam, too.

Steffy: Wonder how liam took the news.

Deacon: Are you telling me that after– after everything thomas has done to hope and to your family, what? That she just changes her mind? Gives him another chance?

Liam: Deacon, I try– I tried to get through to her. I brought up all the heinous stuff thomas has done, it didn’t matter. She’s– she thinks he’s a changed man.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is the one thing he’s incapable of.

Deacon: Well, I– listen, speaking from experience, hope does try to find the good in everyone.

Liam & wyatt: We know.

Liam: It’s just, we just don’t need this right now, right? Like, we– like, we’ve got enough on our plate with our dad.

Wyatt: Yeah, but you– you focus on hope and the kids, all right? I will worry about dad and his newfound relationship with sheila.

Sheila: I– I just– I can’t believe that this is real. You saved me. You opened up your heart. After everything that I did, you are my hero, bill.

Bill: We’re two of a kind. Never forget that. I know I may seem a bit withdrawn, at times, but that’s just me. Make no mistake, this is the best thing that ever happened to me. I need this. And I’m here for whatever you need. Even if it’s just an ear. You can talk to me. I’ll never judge you.

Finn: Look, I get your concerns with liam and thomas.

Steffy: Yeah, but okay, part of me just, like part of me feels a little bit worried about hope. I was talking to paris yesterday, and paris is really excited that thomas is back on as lead designer of hope for the future, but she also asked me if hope had issues with it.

Finn: I mean, we all wondered that.

Steffy: Yeah, but this is different. Hope admitted to paris not too long ago that she thought thomas was hot. And I completely forgot about that.

Finn: That was innocent though, right?

Steffy: As co-ceo, I just– I need to make sure. I mean, I’m really happy that things are working out for thomas. You know, I’m the one who encouraged hope and thomas to collaborate again. This isn’t something I– I can just ignore. Like, on some level, hope is attracted to thomas.

Finn: And you think that could be trouble for hope and liam?

Liam: As difficult as it is, hope asked me to trust her. And the truth is, she needs my love and support right now.

Deacon: Even though you’re completely opposed to my daughter working with thomas.

Liam: Well, the last time this happened, the more I fought it the more I just pushed hope away. And I– and I’m damn sure not gonna let thomas come between us. And besides, hope said that– that if he starts up with any of his old tricks, she’d cut him right off.

Wyatt: That doesn’t keep you from stressing about it.

Liam: Of course not.

Wyatt: Well, hope saying that she’s taking a chance on thomas is like dad telling us over and over again, “oh, sheila can be trusted. I can handle it. Don’t worry.”

Liam: But it’s not like that, ’cause here’s the difference. With hope, she really does naturally see the good in everyone. Even to her own detriment. Dad, I– like, he’s mr. Never trust anyone, so something is obviously off there.

Sheila: You know, everyone in this town, they think that I’m a maniac. That I have no regrets or– or remorse for what I’ve done.

Bill: That’s because they don’t know you like I do. You’re ashamed of your past, I’m ashamed of mine.

Sheila: Yeah, I’d just like to bury it.

Bill: Uh-uh. No. We can’T. The only way to truly deal with it is by being open. That’s the gift you’ve given me. I didn’t have that with katie and brooke. They didn’t understand the darkness that lives inside of me, but you do. And I understand yours as well. I’ve done bad things too, sheila.

Sheila: Nothing like I have.

Bill: I love you. And there’s nothing you can do or say that will change that.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Finn: So, you’re worried that hope’s attraction to thomas might turn into something deeper?

Steffy: No– I don’t know. I– I– I know that hope loves liam, and she’s committed to him–

Finn: But…

Steffy: I’m just wondering how she’s gonna be able to work with thomas. How it’s gonna affect her.

Finn: What? And you’re worried about hope? I’m conf– thomas is the one with the obsession.

Steffy: Yeah, but she knew that he was obsessed with her, and she still said that she was attracted to him.

Finn: Oh, so she can so easily say how hot she thinks your brother is that she might–

Steffy: Well, maybe there are just other things under the surface. Other feelings. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why she’s been able to forgive him.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Finn: Are you sure this is a good idea to bring thomas back?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I want hope for the future to succeed. I just wonder what this means for hope and liam.

Wyatt: I just don’t get how dad could be with a monster like sheila. Just the thought, the two of them in each other’s arms.

Liam: Trust me, I– I’m at a loss, too. I tried, I really tried to get him to help me understand–

Wyatt: What? That his new type is a nine-toed homicidal maniac?

Liam: Which is gross.

Wyatt: Yes–

Deacon: Hey, uh, guys, actually I– I’m gonna have to excuse myself. I’m expecting a call, so you’re good?

Wyatt: Oh– oh.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, of course. Uh, thank you for the meal. It was excellent.

Wyatt: The pasta was phenomenal. Thank you. Just the thought of that psycho in dad’s house sucking face.

Liam: How do you look into those eyes and go, “oh, yeah, this checks every box.”

Bill: You’ve given me the chance to be myself, free from persecution and that’s meant everything. I want the same for you. You don’t have to be afraid. I’ve told you some of the worst that I have done.

Bill: Dumping ridge from that helicopter.

Cool him off.

[ Helicopter whirring ] I wanted to kill him. Part of me still does. I’ve never said that to anyone.

Sheila: I know what you’re trying to do, bill.

Bill: Blowing up spectra fashions’ building with liam and sally inside. I could’ve killed my own son. Does that sound familiar? I– I can’t tell you how– how freeing this is. I– I’ve never felt so whole. And I want that for you.

Sheila: Bill, I–

Bill: O– o– opening up is– is hard, but I knew you could handle it. And so can I. I’ve told you the worst that I’ve done. It’s been healing for me and it will be healing for you and that’s what I want for you.

Sheila: No, I just– I want to forget it.

Bill: Forget or repress? We can’t hide the things we’ve done in the deep recesses of our guilty conscience. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: I’ve done things, bill. Things that you can’t even begin to imagine. Bye, bye cough.

Finn: Now, you’re just taking your sweet time with my shirt, huh?

[ Steffy giggling ]

Steffy: I’m much better at unbuttoning. I wish we could do this all day.

Finn: Hm, me too. You know, it’s wild how life can be so good.

Steffy: Yeah, and so chaotic and scary at the same time.

Finn: Bill and sheila are out there doing god knows what. But when I’m here with you–

Steffy: You just feel peace, right?

Finn: Exactly. We are gonna have to count on that to get us through this next chapter.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: All right? Our love, our connection.

Steffy: Mhm. No, I know, we need to lean on each other. Especially since our worst nightmare is just out there, set free. And it’s all because of bill.

Bill: Must’ve been really bizarre for you when you first moved in. We would have this incredible night of passion, and then I would be kind of quiet and withdrawn.

Sheila: It– it has been interesting.

Bill: Yeah. Well, I– I’d never been able to truly be myself with anyone before. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around that, but now I feel so free. I’ve told you my worst and you’re still here.

Sheila: Hm.

Bill: You know you can trust me, too, right?

Sheila: Of course, I do. I’m still so amazed that– that we’re still together and you transformed my life at– at your expense. I mean, everyone that is important to you.

Bill: Don’t worry about that.

Sheila: No, but I have my freedom because of you, bill.

Bill: You have your physical freedom, but you’re not emotionally free. And you won’t be as long as you carry these things around from your past. Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets, sheila. I can handle it. I know you’re no saint. Believe me, neither am I. I’ve killed people, too.

Sheila: What do you mean “too?”

Bill: I mean that you can tell me your worst and I’ll tell you mine.

Jay: Calm down now.

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No. Now, get a hold of-

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay yelling ]

[ People screaming & shouting ]

[ Bees buzzing ]

Bill: I can see that you’re still haunted by the things that you’ve done. I understand that. Unburden yourself, sheila. You can talk to me. Tell me everything.

Sheila: It’s just, it seems like–

[ Lights humming ]

Sheila: W– what– what’s going on?

Bill: Ah, I don’t– you know, it’s–

Sheila: Whoa.

Bill: A huge estate. Occasionally, there’s an electrical short. Not a big deal.

Sheila: Well, you know, I have a– I have an idea. Why don’t we, uh, why don’t we go out? Drive up the coast and have a nice romantic dinner on the beach somewhere. I– I’ll– I’ll make a reservation.

Bill: Ah, that sounds beautiful. Let’s do that.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: Oh, wait, wait, hang on a second. What– no, I– I can’T. I’ve got a really important business dinner. A client has flown in from europe. I can’t miss it. Let’s do malibu tomorrow night and we can pick this up later. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Ah, I guess we have to, uh, go to work.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: Mm. I mean, I’m– I’m trying, I just, you know, I can’t let you go.

Steffy: I know, I think I’m suffering from the same thing.

Finn: You know I hate being away from you and the kids. With sheila out there, you know it’s only a matter of time before she shows back up at our doorstep and it’s all because of me.

Steffy: No, it’s not. It’s because of bill. God, I don’t know what he was thinking. How– how does he claim that he’s in love with sheila? How does he blackmail us so he can make sure that sheila is set free? None of this makes sense.

[ Car revving ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: I thought you said it was too dangerous for us to talk.

Sheila: It is.

Deacon: So, what’s up?

Sheila: I– I don’t know, maybe I’m being paranoid. I– do you think bill could have an inkling about us?

Deacon: Why do you think that?

Sheila: Because I was just with him and he’s acting strange. I– I don’t know how to explain it, but there is something weird going on with him.

[ Console beeping ]

[ Machine beeping ]

Ridge: How ya holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.
