Deacon: Stop! Stop! Ten toes! It can’t be. There’s no way.
[ Groaning ]
Finn: Morning.
Steffy: Morning. Here.
Finn: Thank you.
Steffy: Hey. Should’ve woken me up when you got in.
Finn: Well, it was a late shift.
Steffy: Yeah. But we still haven’t talked about, you know, sheila’s memorial. So how was it? Did you feel like you got some closure?
Finn: Yeah. And thanks again for being so understanding.
Steffy: Well, I wasn’t gonna stand in the way. So now it’s finally over, huh?
Finn: You’re amazing. You know that?
Steffy: I love hearing you say that. So you and deacon weren’t the only ones at the memorial? Hope was there too?
Zende: You sure you don’t wanna reschedule the meeting?
Rj: Yeah, it’d be understandable considering you went to sheila’s memorial yesterday.
Hope: I think it will be fine. I was there to support my dad.
Rj: And how is he?
Hope: Grieving. Losing her the way that he did, the way that sheila died, was difficult for him to process. I think he really believed that sheila had changed.
Zende: Too bad she didn’T. But at least we don’t have to worry about sheila being a threat anymore.
Hope: While I appreciate the concern, I didn’t ask you here to discuss sheila’s memorial. I assume that you have heard that thomas has relocated to paris for the time being?
Zende: We did.
Luna: Yeah, just tell us what you need.
Rj: We’re here for you.
Hope: Thank you. Um, as you may or may not know, thomas proposed again and I did not accept. So he has left. And I don’t exactly know what that means quite yet, both personally and professionally. But his absence is quite a bit of a loss. So I am counting on you all to really step up. We’re gonna have to rally together and work as a team.
Finn: Yeah, hope was there to support her father.
Steffy: So it was just you two and deacon?
Finn: Yeah. Yeah, it was a pretty simple ceremony. It was actually pretty eye-opening. I didn’t think I realized how much deacon really cared about sheila. She was important to him and he misses her. He’s just– he’s having difficulty accepting that she’s really gone.
Hollis: Uh, boss? You okay?
Deacon: What?
Hollis: You hanging in there after the memorial yesterday? I mean, I know that’s pretty overwhelming stuff, saying goodbye to someone you care so much about.
Deacon: No. No, I’m not all right, hollis. I’m not all right at all. (Vo) you might be used to living with your albuterol asthma
Zende: Thomas was the lead designer, but… you’re the heart and soul of this line, hope.
Rj: You always have been, sis.
Hope: Well, I’ll need your help to put out a new collection.
Luna: I’m happy to pitch in whatever you need.
Hope: Well, hope for the future is this company’s youngest line, and you are the youngest generation of forrester creations. You are all brilliant and talented, and I am very excited about what we can achieve together. But in order to do so, we’re really, really going to have to step up. You ready for that?
Rj: Absolutely.
Zende: Hope for the future is my number one priority.
Luna: I mean, I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m super thrilled to be on the team.
Hope: Oh, no, no, no, actually, luna, you are going to be a very big part of this. I mean, after you worked so closely with rj on eric’s collection, you impressed a lot of people, and so I think it’s time to give you a little more responsibility. Look, I don’t see this as a setback. I see it as an opportunity. A chance to try something new. And luna, I envision you working very closely with zende.
Steffy: Yeah, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for deacon. I mean, this is the man who harbored the woman who tried to kill us.
Finn: Hmm.
Steffy: And I get sheila’s death has taken a toll on deacon. And you too, but, um…
Finn: Hey, it’s– it’s been rough on all of us.
Steffy: Yeah. But now we can finally move on.
Finn: I am. And I’m sorry I can’t explain it. This tie to sheila was deeper than I realized. Hey, thank you for giving me the space to… not exactly grieve her, but just to acknowledge what I lost.
Steffy: Well, you’re my husband and I’m gonna support you. No matter what, okay? Hey, sheila didn’t come between us when she was alive. She’s not gonna come between us now.
Hollis: What happened? Did the memorial not go as you had hoped? Did anyone show?
Deacon: Finn and hope.
Hollis: That’s great. That’s what you wanted, right? To have family there?
Deacon: Yeah.
Hollis: It’s hard to believe she’s really gone.
Deacon: You’re telling me.
Deacon: How did you convince everyone that you’re dead?
Sheila: When it comes to faking my own death, I take it very seriously. Yeah, I may have had to rip out some of my hair, tear my clothes. And a pint of my blood, but I had to make it look like a bear really did maul me. You know, I– I knew that… that none of that was gonna be enough. Especially not for ridge and the forresters. I knew that they would need more, so I– I gave it to them. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
Deacon: You cut off your own toe.
[ Sheila laughs ] Are you seeing things? Or did you really see ten toes? Because if you saw ten toes, then that cannot be sheila. Breathing claritin clear
Luna: Uh, you want me working with zende?
Hope: Yes. While you and rj are a great team, I mean, what you did for eric was extraordinary. Um, what we do here is a little different from couture. It’s more about self expression.
Zende: In couture, you make an entrance, in hope for the future you make an impact.
Hope: Exactly. And zende already has his finger on the pulse of our collection, what makes it work. I mean, his designs have been very important for our success. And rj, while I’m looking forward to what you bring to the table, zende just has a little more experience and seasoned talent to take over for thomas.
Zende: Uh, thank you for the opportunity. Wow.
Hope: I know you, uh, you’ll make the most of it. I– I don’t exactly know how things are going to work out. There is a lot of– there are a lot of things up in the air in my life right now. But I do know that hope for the future is in good hands. I mean, we have fresh faces, some new talent, and I believe that we will make the most of this opportunity. And I know you’ll bring out the best in each other. So luna, like I was saying before, I would really love it if you could work closely with zende. You know, stay by his side, absorb all of his knowledge. I mean, zende pretty much grew up in this industry. He learned from the best of the best, so I’m sure he has plenty of secrets to share.
Zende: I brought you some coffee.
Luna: Zende? Wait, what are you doing here?
Zende: I live here.
Luna: Wait, where’s rj?
Zende: I– I don’t know, luna, but he’s definitely not here.
Luna: Rj and I are in love. And I waited, and it was perfect, and what now I wake up here in this bed with you? I mean, what have I done?
Zende: Are you still considering telling rj?
Luna: Yeah, I mean, I think about it every day. Every second that I don’t say anything feels like a lie. And look, I’m not doing this to protect myself. I’m doing it to protect you and your relationship with your cousin.
Finn: Thank you for your patience and your understanding. Sheila has put a strain on us and our marriage.
Steffy: Yeah, I despise that woman. Everything she did to us, what she made me do. But I’m not gonna let anything or anyone come between us, okay?
Finn: Yeah, okay. It never will.
Steffy: We proved it again.
Finn: Yeah, yeah, we did. And I wish we didn’t have to face these challenges over and over. Sheila’s death has been difficult, but hey, we don’t have to worry about her anymore.
Steffy: I know. We can finally put sheila behind us and move on.
[ Cell phone rings ]
Finn: Hmm, deacon? Deacon, hey, uh, what’s up?
Deacon: Finn, where are you?
Finn: I’m– I’m with steffy.
Deacon: Um, listen, I need to see you. It’s urgent.
Finn: Why, what’s wrong?
Deacon: I can’t tell you on the phone.
Finn: You can’t tell me what this is about?
Deacon: It’s about your birth mother. It’s about sheila. I’m at the restaurant. Please get down here as quick as you can.
Finn: Yeah, I’ll be over there as soon as I can.
Steffy: What’s going on?
Finn: I don’t know. Deacon sounds upset.
Steffy: About what? Let me guess, sheila.
Finn: I don’t know, um… he wants me to go down to il giardino, and… no, look, hey, I don’t– just– let me deal with this as fast as I can. But look, hey, there’s no need to worry anymore, right? There’s no more fear. This might be the last time we ever have to talk about sheila. I’ll be right back.
Steffy: Okay.
[ Steffy sighs ]
Deacon: It can’t be… it can’t be. It can’t be. It can’t be.
Bother the bugs.
Hope: I hope I didn’t, uh, catch you too off guard with that.
Rj: You’re the boss, sis. It’s your call.
Hope: All right. Look, I know you enjoy working with luna, and you will be, I promise. I just think her spending time with zende will be very beneficial for her and her future.
Zende: You okay? I had no idea that hope was gonna have us working so closely together.
Luna: Yeah. No, I mean, um, I meant what I said. You know, I’m happy to pitch in and help out in thomas’ absence, but… look, it’s– it’s nothing personal, okay? You’re a great guy and a super talented designer, but it’s complicated. The night that we shared together?
Zende: There’s no reason for it to interfere with our work.
Luna: But I’m lying to rj. He doesn’t even know that we slept together, and keeping this secret is absolutely killing me. And the guilt is worse and worse every day, and working together is just gonna make that even harder.
Zende: I hate to see you struggle like this. It’s a messed up situation, but it’s not your fault.
Luna: I didn’t know what I was doing that night, but I do now. And I decided to lie to him, and I can’t do it. I mean, how am I supposed to show up to work every single day with this secret that’s eating me up inside? I can’t do it, okay? Rj needs to know what happened. He deserves to know the truth.
Finn: Sheila’s death’s been difficult, but hey, we don’t have to worry about her anymore.
[Breathing heavily]
Finn: Hey.
Deacon: Hey. Thanks for getting here so fast.
Finn: What’s going on?
Deacon: This is– it’s crazy. It doesn’t make any sense.
Finn: Okay. Well, you said it was urgent. Was it something to do with sheila?
Deacon: Um, man, I don’t know.
Finn: Okay, okay. Let’s just take a breath here. You’re all– you’re all wound up.
Deacon: You have no idea.
Finn: Okay, well, look, this is– this is normal, okay? The memorial service, it was… no, it got me too, you know? ‘Cause a lot of things came up. It’s been an emotional time. But, look, you— I’ve got to put this behind me, okay? Do you understand that? Steffy, she– she has been just incredible through all of this, but we can’t forget about the shooting. Trying to destroy our family. Every time sheila’s name comes up, it takes a toll on her. And I’m not gonna burden my wife with that, deacon, okay? I love her too much. So whatever– whatever this is, you need to just tell me so I can put sheila in the past once and for all. For steffy’s sake and for mine.
Deacon: Look, I get it. I get it. I want that for you, finn.
Finn: Okay, well, I think it would be good for you too. Okay? You– deacon. You need to let this go. Now. You cared about my mother. You were there for her. You gave her a respectful send-off. Even went to the crematorium.
Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to stay with her as long as I could.
Finn: Yeah, you did everything that you could. More than most people would. Deacon, it’s— it’s over, okay? I know it’s hard to accept, but sheila’s dead.
Deacon: What if she’s not, finn? What if the person that I saw being cremated wasn’t sheila?
