Finn: There’s just no way.
Deacon: Listen to me. I’m telling you that I think sheila might be alive.
Finn: Deacon, you’re grieving, and grief takes many forms.
Deacon: No, I’d accepted it, okay? I even had the memorial service. But then, when I was at the crematorium, you–
Finn: You saw her face.
Deacon: Yes, I saw her face, and then I saw ten toes.
Finn: You saw what you wanted to see.
Deacon: No, I saw a woman’s pair of feet with a full set of digits.
Finn: I know it’s hard to accept losing her, and you are under a lot of strain.
Deacon: Listen to me. Sheila had nine toes. I saw ten. Explain that to me.
Finn: I’m afraid that your mind is playing tricks on you, deacon. Sheila is dead. Steffy killed her.
Steffy: Rj, this is great.
Rj: Really?
Steffy: Yeah. Has hope seen this?
Rj: Uh, no. No, I was just playing around.
Steffy: I’m– wow, I am really impressed. I mean, you have– you’ve come a long way. Really improved.
Rj: Thank you. Oh, hey, that’s high praise coming from my big sis/co-ceo.
Steffy: Aha, don’t you forget it.
Rj: Oh, come on, I know who’s running things around here.
Steffy: Hey, now that thomas is gone, and hope is revamping her line, I mean, this is a great opportunity for you to work on hope for the future.
Rj: Yeah, I know. Zende and I met with hope, and we talked about stepping up. Luna, too.
Steffy: I’m glad to hear it.
Rj: Yeah, I think the three of us are gonna– we’re gonna work well together.
Luna: I have to tell rj the truth.
Zende: I understand.
Luna: I mean, I have no other choice.
Zende: No, it’s totally up to you. I just wish I could forget about that night.
Luna: Yeah, well, I can’t, zende. I mean, I’ve tried, but every time I look at rj, it’s like– it’s like I’m– I’m– I’m betraying him all over again.
Zende: It was a complete misunderstanding. Neither of us knew that you were under the influence.
Luna: But I’ve been lying to him every day since. I’m just– I’m terrified of how he’s gonna react.
Zende: You’re worried that he’s gonna end your relationship? Listen, I hope that you’re wrong, but whether rj does or doesn’t, I will always be here for you.
Luna: Um, you’re nice to say that, zende. And I know that you didn’t realize what was going on with me the, uh, the night that we spent together.
Zende: Neither did you. We had no idea that you were under the influence of your mom’s laced mints.
Luna: I don’t blame you, okay? But I still feel horrible about what happened. I mean, the last thing I expected was to be involved with two men. Two incredible guys, part of this amazing family who have so much love for me. And now I’m bringing drama and anxiety into everyone’s lives.
Zende: Don’t worry about that.
Luna: But I mean, I know how tight your family is. And I know how important it is that all of you get along. And I don’t wanna disrupt that. But I’m sorry, I just– I can’t live like this anymore.
Rj: Hey, um, I know you’ve been dealing with a lot lately. How– how are you holding up?
Steffy: Just doing my best to keep busy.
Rj: Okay, yeah. I heard about the memorial at il giardino. That was weird.
Ridge: Yeah, it was weird. Hey.
[ Phone dinging ]
Steffy: Hi.
Rj: That’s luna, she wants to talk to me at my place.
Ridge: All right, go.
Steffy: Yeah, we’ll call you if we need you.
Rj: Yeah? Okay.
Ridge: So we’re still talking about this memorial, huh? What was deacon thinking?
Deacon: Yeah, I know. I’m nuts, I’m insane. I’m as crazy as sheila is. But what if I’m right?
Finn: It’s not plausible.
Deacon: No, what if it is? What if I did see ten toes? What if your mother’s alive? File 100% free with turbotax free edition.
Luna: All right, it’s done. I’m– I’m gonna go meet rj at his house.
Zende: So, you’re really doing this?
Luna: Yeah, I have to. Listen, I know that this might damage your relationship with him. So, I just– I hope that you don’t think I’m being selfish.
Zende: No. Of course not. Rj and I will always be cousins. We’ll figure it out. I’m just concerned about you.
Luna: Yeah, um, keeping this secret is killing me. Every time rj asks me if something’s wrong, I mean, I’m just flat out lying to him whenever I tell him no. And I can’t do it. It just— it’s not me.
Zende: No. You’re a good person. You’d never intentionally hurt someone.
Luna: You wouldn’t either.
Zende: Thank you. If you think telling rj is the only way to give you some peace, the only way to free you from this guilt and this shame that you’re feeling, then you gotta do it. I know it’s scary. I know that rj is going to be hurt. But look at you. You’re torturing yourself. I hate to see you like this.
Luna: Yeah, I– I can’t wait another day. That’s not fair to him.
Zende: No. No, it’s not. Rj deserves to know about our night together.
Ridge: I know they had their fling, but deacon thinks that they were in love.
Steffy: Oh, gosh. Whatever their twisted version of love is.
Ridge: How did I not get invited to this? It hurts me to the core.
Steffy: Oh, yeah, I’m sure. You know it was just finn and– and hope.
Ridge: I know. And I get why hope was there. She was there to support her dad. But what was finn trying to get out of this?
Steffy: He wanted to say goodbye.
Ridge: Say goodbye to the woman that almost killed him? Almost killed you, twice?
Steffy: Okay, dad, I’m still struggling to wrap my head around it.
Ridge: So am I. She was coming after you for months.
Steffy: I know that, but dad, you have to understand, like, I don’t want finn to resent me. Like I don’t wanna seem that way.
Ridge: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Resent you? For what?
Steffy: I– I’m his wife, and I stabbed his birth mother.
Ridge: She had it coming. She came after you. You had no choice.
Steffy: Yeah, logically, finn knows that.
Ridge: Okay, then, emotionally, he needs to be there for you. He needs to support you.
Steffy: Yeah.
Finn: Look, you’ll never forget about sheila. And she will always live on in your memories.
Deacon: I know what I saw.
Finn: Listen, deacon, our brains have a unique way of protecting us from trauma sometimes.
Deacon: Exactly. Save all the doctor stuff, man. Listen, if I’m wrong, go buy me a book on neuroscience. Just listen to me. Please. Guy to guy. Listen to me as her son. What if your birth mother is still alive. What if we didn’t lose her?
Finn: Well, then where is she, deacon? Why isn’t she reaching out to you?
Deacon: Maybe she’s in hiding.
Finn: Hiding? You saw her at the morgue. You saw her face.
Deacon: I saw her after she died, and I saw her before she went into the cremation chamber.
Finn: Exactly. Her body has been identified by multiple people. The coroner confirmed her death. Sheila died in my home at the hands of my wife, and you need to stay rooted in reality. It is the only way to heal from this.
Deacon: You tell me where that extra toe came from.
Finn: It’s wishful thinking. That’s all it is. And I know that you wanna go there, but you really shouldn’t, because it’s only gonna hurt more. The only way to heal from this is to accept the fact that you are never gonna see sheila again.
Rj: Hi.
Luna: Hey.
Rj: I am so sorry I was late, but it was for good reason. I got you something special. Pretty flowers for my pretty lady. Hi.
Luna: Hey.
Rj: So how are you? What do you wanna talk about? Uhhh.
Carter: Zende.
Zende: Hey, carter. What’s up?
Carter: Why do I get the feeling that your mind was a million miles away just now?
Zende: I guess it was. I’m having trouble focusing.
Carter: Well, you better get focused. I mean you have some big opportunities on hope for the future. New lead designer. Mentoring rj and luna.
Zende: That’s the plan.
Carter: How are you not more excited?
Zende: I am. I am, it’S… I just got a lot on my plate.
Carter: Okay. Well, you got this, zende. Don’t let the pressure overwhelm you. You can handle it. And it’s different than last time. You’ve grown so much, and you picked up a lot from hope and thomas.
Zende: It’s not that.
Carter: Then, what is it? What’s gotten you so distracted lately?
Zende: It’s that obvious?
Carter: Don’t think anyone else has picked up on it, as far as I can tell, but I know you. You’ve been off your game. Something’s definitely bothering you. So, what’s going on?
Rj: I was happy to get your text. Glad you found the spare key, let yourself in.
Luna: Yeah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you drive all the way out here.
Rj: No, no, it’S… hey, any excuse I can get to miss charlie’s weekly safety briefing, I’ll take it.
Luna: I don’t know. I just thought that it’d be nice to, um, talk here, away from the office and everyone else. I mean, this place has such wonderful memories for us.
Rj: Yeah. Some of our best memories have been in this house. You know, it’s really starting to feel like a home now. Especially when I see you. It’d be great if you were out here more often.
Luna: Yeah. I’d like that more than anything.
Rj: Okay, all right. Well, then, well starting today. You know, we’ve both been so busy lately. We’ll make more of a point to spend more time together, okay? You know, I got you those flowers to surprise you, but you’re always the one that’s full of surprises. I love that about you. Hey, are you okay? Hey, luna, what’s wrong?
Steffy: Hi, baby. Hm. I wasn’t expecting this kind of sexy greeting.
Finn: What can I say? I can’t get enough of my beautiful wife.
Steffy: Well, I can’t get enough of you.
Finn: I wanna take you right here.
Steffy: Babe, you’re in my office right now.
Finn: Okay, I can’t wait ’til later tonight when you’re home.
Steffy: Okay.
Finn: Yeah.
Steffy: So, how’d it go, uh, with deacon at il giardino? Let me guess, it was about sheila.
Finn: Yeah, how’d you guess?
Steffy: Well, deacon is sheila’s number one cheerleader, so… what, did he give you her ashes or something?
Finn: No, no. But, uh, you’re in the ballpark. No, it was odd. Deacon’s really losing it. He’s saying some crazy stuff about sheila.
Steffy: What?
Deacon: I don’t know exactly how I’m gonna solve this. If that wasn’t you, then maybe you’re still alive. I don’t know why the hell this is happening.
Ridge: What’s going on here, sharpie? Talking to yourself?
Deacon: Do me a favor, go away. Not today, please.
Ridge: See, that’s what happens. You hang out with a lunatic, you start losing it yourself. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.
Carter: Something happen? Zende, man, trust me, whatever’s bothering you is not as bad as you think it is.
Zende: Brother, I wish I could say you were right.
Carter: Okay, well, I’m not gonna push you to open up, but–
Zende: No. Actually, this is– I really need to talk to someone, carter.
Carter: Talk about what?
Zende: It’s about luna.
Rj: Luna, talk to me. Listen, I’ve– I’ve noticed that you just haven’t, you know, really been yourself for a while.
Luna: I know.
Rj: It’s okay. I mean, it’s just that normally we’re really connected, and, you know, it’s fun, and we’re vibing, and… it just seems like lately, one second, you’re here, and the next you’ve drifted off someplace else.
Luna: Yeah, I’ve, um… I’ve been really stressed out lately.
Rj: Stressed? Stressed about what? Is it– is it about us? Did I do something?
Luna: No, no, rj, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just…
Rj: We’re okay? Does this have to do with your mom? Are– are you guys good?
Luna: Yeah, she’s part of it.
Rj: Okay. Well, let me– let me help. Hey, I’ve been told I’m a good listener.
Luna: You are. I mean, you’re the most wonderful guy, rj.
Rj: So, you– you’d tell me if you were upset with me, right? ‘Cause when I think about it, this all started the day after my granddad got married to donna, after that party. Ever since then, you’ve seemed really distant.
Luna: I’m sorry.
Rj: No, you have no reason to be sorry.
Luna: Yeah, I do.
Rj: What is it? Tell me. Tell me anything.
Deacon: What are you doing here?
Ridge: Well, I was talking to steffy, and you know, this girl is tough as nails, but she’s having a tough time. I mean, sheila breaking into her house, coming after her, and steffy having to put her down. So, tell me about this memorial.
Deacon: It’s not really any of your business.
Ridge: I know, but as a friend, I should tell you it’s a big waste of time and money.
Deacon: Well, it’s my time, my money. She meant something to me.
Ridge: Yeah. We both know that there was something wrong in her head. And her being gone, being out of our lives, it’s good for everybody.
Deacon: What if she isn’t gone, ridge? What if sheila isn’t out of our lives?
Steffy: I’m not surprised deacon’s saying crazy things about sheila. I mean, he’s the one who fell in love with that monster.
Finn: It was more than that. Deacon was freaking out when I got to the restaurant. Like, out of his mind, going on and on with strange ideas.
Steffy: Like what?
Finn: Nothing that made any sense.
Steffy: Okay, what did he say specifically?
Finn: Well, you know, deacon’s eccentric and quirky.
Steffy: Yeah, clearly. He dated sheila.
Finn: Well, now you can add paranoid and delusional to the list. Because get this, deacon is questioning whether or not sheila is actually dead.
Steffy: What?
Finn: Deacon’s convinced himself sheila may still be alive.
