Deacon: Right, so you’re– you’re telling me that this sugar woman had cosmetic surgery and looks just like sheila?
Lauren: Not looks like. She’s sheila’s identical twin. Look, deacon, I realize how farfetched this all sounds.
Deacon: Farfetched? This sounds insane.
Lauren: But still, it’s true. And that means…
Deacon: What it means is that I’m not crazy after all. That I did see sheila’s face and ten toes.
Steffy: Deacon’s delusional. I told him that the other day.
Liam: You two got into it?
Steffy: Sheila’s dead. I was there. I’m the one who killed her.
Liam: Yeah, I know. In self-defense.
Steffy: Yes! There’s no way she’s still alive. Like I said, the guy’s delusional.
Hope: Well, clearly my father must be in a considerable amount of pain if he’s saying things like this.
Finn: Look, grief can do strange things to a person.
Hope: This is beyond bizarre, what my dad is claiming. I mean, obviously he’s mistaken, but…
Finn: I’m sure he’ll realize eventually.
Hope: Well, what about you? How are you feeling? My dad asked you if a part of you still wishes your birth mother could be here. And you said it didn’t matter because she’s gone. But how would you feel if, against all odds, my father was right about sheila?
Hope: I– I’m not trying to put you on the spot.
Finn: No, I know, and I appreciate that.
Hope: Hm. I mean, your feelings are your feelings. I just– I don’t know, I can’t help but wonder. I mean, does some part of you wish that sheila were still alive?
Liam: It’s has gotta be getting to you, right? Wearing you down?
Steffy: I’m fine.
Liam: Yeah, okay, but– but you would say that even if you weren’T.
Steffy: If deacon would move on, we could all get on with our lives. Instead, he’s concocting these absurd stories. I just want to be done with sheila once and for all.
Deacon: You saw this woman, sugar’s face, with your own two eyes?
Lauren: Yes.
Deacon: She’s the spitting image of sheila?
Lauren: Sheila’s mother wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
Deacon: But how is this even possible? I mean, to– to transform one person into another, to give them the same face? I mean, look, I don’t care how talented a plastic surgeon is, to pull something like that off, it’s– it’s–
Lauren: It’s mind-blowing.
Deacon: It’s preposterous. This is the craziest story I’ve ever heard. Sheila really did a number on you, didn’t she?
Lauren: For years. Decades. The nightmare that was sheila carter began with me, and I was so happy that it ended with steffy.
Deacon: And now, like me, you’re wondering if maybe it didn’T. Lauren, this is why you have to tell me everything that you know about sheila and sugar.
[Alarm bell]
Hope: Yeah, but feelings are already complicated enough as is. And then, to have people that have had a big impact on our lives, good or bad, that just–
Finn: Like– like sheila.
Hope: Yeah. I mean, finn, you didn’t know who your birth mother was for the majority of your life. All those years of wondering, and then to finally find out, and it’S… her?
Finn: Yeah, and unfortunately, sheila came with a lot of baggage. She’s done terrible things to my wife and her family. And after all of that, I shouldn’t have any feelings at all for sheila. But I have felt a connection to her. One that I have never fully understood. And I don’t know if it’s biological or what it is, but to answer your question, do I want sheila dead? Stabbed to death by my wife? No.
Steffy: It’s like sheila is still pulling the strings, beyond the grave, and deacon is helping.
Liam: I– I know it feels that way, but sooner or later, deacon is gonna realize that this crazy woman he was integrating into his life is actually gone. It’s just– in the meantime…
Steffy: In the meantime, we can’t get back to normal. Something I want so badly.
Liam: I know, I know, I want that for you too. God knows you’ve been through enough because of sheila, and it just needs to be over.
Steffy: I thought it was, liam. I mean, they pronounced her dead. I thought that sheila could no longer harm me or my family.
Liam: Steffy, hey, she can’T. She actually can’T. No matter how much deacon rants and raves about her still being alive, which is weird.
Steffy: See, that’s– that’s what’s still so frustrating. Like, he’s not able to let her go.
Liam: Well, I– I would say cut the guy some slack, because he’s grieving, except… you know, his actions are hurting you, and that’s not acceptable. And by the way, you know this applies to finn too, right?
Sheila: My husband is just as concerned. But he doesn’t have any more sway over deacon than I do.
Liam: Really? Even though he’s her son?
Steffy: Okay, even though finn is sheila’s biological son, that’s all it’s ever gonna be. She’s never gonna touch finn’s life, or our lives, ever again.
Deacon: I realize this isn’t easy for you, reliving everything sheila put you through.
Lauren: You have no idea.
Deacon: I think I do. Yeah, I love sheila. I mean, as crazy as it sounds to everyone, but… I’m aware of a lot of the awful things she’s done.
Lauren: Just not all of them.
Deacon: Clearly. Especially not the sugar-sheila connection. She never said a word about it.
Lauren: Let’s just say… I don’t know why you let a woman like sheila into your life.
Deacon: I’m not sure either. Not entirely, anyway. But it happened. And now, I’m left trying to figure out something else about sheila.
Lauren: Whether she’s really dead or not.
Deacon: Or if something else is going on. And based on everything you’ve told me, I’m starting to think there is. All right, so… so sheila befriended sugar, who was her warden.
Lauren: Right. And sugar helped her escape. They somehow made it to south america. And sheila promised sugar some plastic surgery. But sheila had the plastic surgeon make sugar identical to sheila. I found out about it when sheila and I were held captive. And that is when–
Deacon: And that’s when she confessed that she made sugar look like her.
Lauren: Confessed? More like bragged. She was so proud of herself that she was able to pull that off. Just another in the long list of crimes by sheila carter.
Deacon: You know, I was really starting to think that I was going crazy. I mean… you know, now that I think about this, I’m more and more convinced that the body that I saw getting torched, that was sugar, not sheila. With cascade platinum plus,
Finn: Does that sound crazy?
Hope: Not wanting your birth mother to be dead? No.
Finn: She did terrible, hurtful things.
Hope: You’ve never made excuses for her, finn. You always knew who sheila was, what she was capable of.
Finn: Exactly. So why aren’t I just glad she’s out of my life forever?
Hope: Well, I don’t want to tell a doctor, but, you know, feelings are complicated. They don’t always make sense.
Finn: Well, in this case, though, it’s not like sheila was part of my world for my entire life. And the fact of the matter is, I was raised by two very loving and amazing adoptive parents who wanted nothing but the best for me. And then, when sheila finally did appear… on my wedding day, no less… for those few moments before I introduced her to steffy and the family, completely unaware of the history that they shared, uh, I– I was thrilled. I mean, I finally had a face and a name to the woman who had carried me for nine months. It was like having all the pieces to the puzzle finally completed, making a picture. You know? At least most of it. Does that make any sense?
Hope: Absolutely.
Finn: You know what doesn’t make any sense, though? How I could still feel something. Or anything for sheila. When she almost took everything that ever mattered to me. My wife, my mom… I mean, my little boy was almost an orphan because of her. And just that should’ve made me want nothing to do with her. Ever. So, I didn’T. At least I know this. Whatever my feelings for sheila, now or then… they aren’t important. Not compared to my feelings for steffy and the kids’ safety and happiness.
Liam: It’s gotta feel good being able to say that.
Steffy: Well, it’s true. Sheila can’t touch our lives ever again.
Liam: Which means that you get to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Steffy: I do. Feels good that sheila’s not here doing her worst.
Liam: I mean, her worst almost cost you your life, so…
Steffy: My husband’s, too. For months, I thought he was dead. Our lives were turned upside down. And somehow, she got out of her crimes. She, like… she avoided justice. ‘Til the night I grabbed the knife and I defended myself.
Liam: And now, for the first time in ages, you can just relax, right? You don’t have to constantly look over your shoulder and worry about the kids.
Steffy: Yeah, that’s– that’s such a relief. Countless times I stood up to her. And the last time–
Liam: Was fatal. For her.
Steffy: Deacon is an idiot if he actually thinks that sheila is alive.
Deacon: So, I’m guessing this happened quite a while ago. Sugar busting out of the mental facility and posing as sheila.
Lauren: Yes. She attacked my son, scotty. And framed sheila. And she almost got away with it.
Deacon: How did she get busted? You know, it didn’t make sense to me that sheila would attack scott. She loved him too much. But that’s a whole other story. I went to go pay her a visit after she was arrested. And that’s when I noticed it.
Deacon: Noticed what?
Lauren: Sheila had severely hurt her ankle. And was walking with a limp. But when they led this sheila away… there was no limp. She was walking perfectly. The police confirmed it and the fingerprints didn’t match.
Deacon: This is– this is unbelievable.
Lauren: And that’s when the floodgates opened up. Sugar confessed everything. She said she did it to– to get back at sheila. She gave up everything for sheila. Her face. Her freedom. So, I mean, honestly, van you even blame her?
Deacon: For– for what? For hating her? For turning her back on her? I mean, that is what you’re saying, right? That sugar had it out for sheila, right?
Lauren: That’s exactly what I’m saying. (Chef vo) fancy feast.
Hope: You do realize you are way overdue, right?
Finn: For what?
Hope: Oh, just… husband and father of the year nomination. I mean, no, really. It’s your unwavering commitment to the kids and your wife. You’re always putting them first.
Finn: You don’t think liam deserves a nom?
Hope: Ah, I think he deserves father of the year, absolutely. He is a great dad. But I do believe your category was husband and father of the year.
Finn: So, we’re not in direct competition for that.
Hope: No, I think you can rest easy on that one. But you really do love it, don’t you?
Finn: Being married to steffy? Yeah. And being the father of two of the most splendiferous kids.
Hope: Oh, splendiferous?
Finn: Yeah. Yes, splendiferous. It’s– it’s kelly’s new favorite word. She’s been using it all the time. Steffy and I have no idea where she picked it up, but she’s been using it constantly. I think it’s wearing off on– on hayes, too. Well, maybe not. I don’t know.
Hope: See, this is what I’m talking about. It’s just– it’s the way you delight in your kids and– and being a husband and your devotion to them. Finn, you’re a good man. And steffy should know how lucky she is to have you.
Steffy: Well, I know you’re in the building to talk business with carter, so I’m assuming that you need to get back to spencer.
Liam: You giving me the heave-ho?
Steffy: I’m not doing that. I just don’t want to waste your time talking about sheila.
Liam: I don’t care. I’ll talk to you anytime, about anything.
Steffy: I know but you have a life, too.
Liam: Well, as it happens, the two biggest priorities in the aforementioned life happen to be my two beautiful, sweet daughters, and you happen to be one of their mothers. Which is kind of why I’m doing all this soul-searching lately, just trying to be the best man and father I can be right now.
Steffy: I think you’re pretty terrific as you are.
Liam: Aw, shucks, thanks. But you’re a little biased. We spent a long time together. We were extremely close and we were fiercely in love. And that– that kind of love, it doesn’t just die.
Deacon: So, you really think sugar could be looking for some payback against of sheila?
Lauren: You’re getting ahead of yourself.
Deacon: How?
Lauren: Sugar is still in prison for her own crimes.
Deacon: What?
Lauren: I just told you. She attacked my son. She tried to kill him.
Deacon: I hope she didn’t succeed.
Lauren: No, no, no, thank god. But if you’re asking me if sugar despises sheila, one hundred percent. Sheila changed her face to look like her own. She set her up to go to prison for her crimes. So, if you think that she has been dreaming about getting revenge on sheila, absolutely.
Deacon: Right.
Lauren: But remember…
Deacon: She’s locked up. She’s not a threat. Unless…
Lauren: Unless what?
Deacon: What– what was sugar’s real name?
Lauren: It was janet webber. Why?
Deacon: I’ve got to find out everything I can about her.
Lauren: Oh, I was so hoping that my decades-long war with sheila was over, and that she was dead. Now, it seems that that may not be the case. Okay, look, I, uh, I’ve gotta get back to genoa city. But deacon, I hope you’re wrong. I hope your eyes were playing tricks on you and that it was sheila that was cremated.
Deacon: Sheila, what happened to you?
