Steffy: What was that for?
Finn: I just don’t want you to forget.
Steffy: Forget what? That my husband is an amazing kisser?
Finn: No. I just– I don’t want you to forget how much I love you. Never question that, okay? [sighs]
Brooke: Is everything okay over there?
Hope: No, it’s fine. It’s just I– I’m having a hard time concentrating, and I’m making all of these little mistakes.
Brooke: Would you like an extra set of eyes on it?
Hope: Well, you know what I have to inventory today? Jewelry. And you know what kind of jewelry? Rings. So…
Brooke: Honey, I know you’re upset to find out about Thomas and Paris’s engagement. But he made a decision because you made a decision. More than once.
Hope: We both understand the situation. It’s just… I’m having difficulty understanding how he was able to move on so quickly.
Brooke: I think there’s more going on here. I think you wanted to reunite with Thomas so badly for another reason.
Deacon: I keep looking to where the stage was set up, expecting him to play. Just can’t wrap my head around the fact that Tom’s gone.
Hollis: The place just really isn’t the same without him.
Deacon: He was only with us for a short time, and he really became a part of the team, didn’t he?
Hollis: Yeah, he did.
Deacon: Hey, welcome back.
Luna: Hi.
Deacon: Sit down.
Luna: Thank you.
Poppy: Thank you.
Bill: Uh, I read about what happened with your employee. My condolences.
Poppy: I’m sorry, Deacon. It was a real tragedy.
Deacon: I appreciate that. Tom’s deeply missed.
Bill: One of Deacon’s employees died here. It was during the live music night.
Luna: Oh, my God. Deacon, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Deacon: Thank you. Just like your mom said, it was a real tragedy. We’re all still in shock.
Luna: Yeah, I can only imagine.
Bill: Did Tom have any family? Siblings? Kids?
Deacon: I– Not that I know of.
Steffy: I have never questioned your love for me or our family. Okay?
Finn: Mmm. Look, I know. But wait. I just– [sighs] Look, I wanna tell you this. I’ve been thinking a lot lately, and I want you to fully understand that… I know I have given you reason to wonder if I’ve truly been putting you first. I mean, especially recently. And I don’t want that to be a worry. Okay? Not anymore. I’m really sorry.
Hope: Well, of course it is about more than just Thomas being able to move on from me.
Brooke: Well, good. I’m glad that you can see that.
Hope: Douglas is involved, so obviously it becomes so much more complex. But I know that this was my choice. I had ample opportunity to say yes to a marriage with Thomas, and I just– I wasn’t ready to say yes.
Brooke: Mm-hmm. And we know Thomas can be impulsive.
Hope: Oh, is that what this feeling is, all these knots in my stomach? Because I am worried that he is going back to that impulsive nature.
Brooke: Well, that could be it, but I think there’s something else going on here that I’m not even sure you’re aware of.
Hope: Like what?
Brooke: Honey. Your feelings for Finn.
Hope: Mom–
Brooke: Just hear me out. You told me you were having these feelings. And then Thomas comes back in town, and suddenly you’re trying to pick up where you left off with him. Maybe this is just a way for you to run away from your attraction to Steffy’s husband.
Bill: Thank you.
Deacon: I didn’t know Tom for a long time, but he never mentioned a family. Definitely not any sons or daughters.
Luna: It’s awful. I mean, I remember suggesting that we come here for live music that night. Did you know him well?
Deacon: I was learning about Tom, about his music. He was so excited that he was gonna play again on stage. I guess back in the day, he was actually pretty successful. And the thing I know about Tom or remember about him, was he always had a smile on his face. I mean, he had his challenges, you know, but he was working through ’em. At least I thought so. Apparently, Tom died of a drug overdose.
Finn: I let myself lose sight of what’s important. Sometimes I get carried away with helping people and believing in the good.
Steffy: I mean, you were like that with me when we first met, and I never want you to change that about yourself.
Finn: Yeah, okay, but that’s no excuse. I asked that you embrace Sheila and include her. This woman who has been nothing but destructive in her life and our happiness. You forgive me? [sighs]
Hope: The connection between Thomas and me was very real. It was passionate. It was exciting. He made me feel like I was the only woman that he ever saw, that I was the only woman that he would ever want to be with.
Brooke: And I’m glad that he made you feel secure, honey. It was probably a breath of fresh air after everything that Liam put you through. But I just feel like maybe… it’s a false sense of security.
Hope: What does that mean?
Brooke: Well–[sighs] I have had experience in this area. I’ve been involved in passionate relationships, and… sometimes you ignore very important key ingredients that should be involved. I feel like maybe you’re covering up. You’re just running after Thomas in order to forget about the feelings that you have about Finn.
Hope: Are you suggesting that I am using Thomas?
Brooke: No. Not intentionally.
Hope: I love that man, Mom, and I have been grieving the loss of our relationship. And now that I know that there is no chance for us, that we don’t have a future, I–
Brooke: I know the feelings that you two have. Those were real. But I also know the history you had. I know what Thomas put you through and how hard you worked to get past all of that. [sighs] You know what I want for you? I want you to find the man of your dreams, somebody that makes you happy, makes you feel secure, respected, and loved. And you will find that, you know? You will. It just won’t be Finn. It can’t be Finn.
Luna: Hey, Hollis, I’m sorry about your co-worker.
Hollis: I really appreciate that. Yeah, he, um– he was a really good guy.
Luna: Hey, if it makes you feel better, maybe you should come out with us next time I go out.
Hollis: Yeah, for sure. That’d be awesome.
Bill: Yeah. With R.J. Her boyfriend.
Hollis: I’m well aware… [clears throat]…sir.
Luna: Okay, we’re all friends, Dad. I’ll just text you.
Hollis: Sounds good.
Bill: What? Oh, come on. Can you blame me? All right, until you graced my life, I’ve only had boys, and… I know how guys’ minds work.
Luna: Oh! [scoffs]
Poppy: And you thought you missed out on all the years of your father embarrassing you in front of cute guys.
Luna: Stop.
Bill: Oh, no. Listen. I can do embarrassing really well. But, more importantly, I will always look out for you and for your mother.
Poppy: Aw, Bill. You really have changed our lives in so many wonderful ways. All these new experiences and the fact that Luna doesn’t have to wonder anymore. She has the doting father that she’s always wanted and deserved. And I can’t wait to witness it all, to live it. Truly, Bill, I’m so grateful for this future that we now have… with you. And I don’t wanna look back ever again.
Finn: I handled this whole thing wrong. I said things and I did things that I wish I could take back. And you deserve none of it. What you really deserve is to be loved and respected and heard. And I’m gonna do all of it. I promise that from this day forward, I will always put you first.
Brooke: I truly believe that you wanna reconcile with Thomas because you’re afraid of the feelings you have for Finn.
Hope: Okay, hold on. I am not afraid of my feelings. I am just trying to understand those feelings and what they mean. But obviously Thomas’s return was unexpected and it has caused a bit of confusion, given the fact that my feelings for him haven’t just disappeared.
Brooke: I know.
Hope: It’s still very fresh for me.
Brooke: Okay. I understand that. I won’t expect for you to be over it. But, honey, if you really wanted to be with Thomas, you would have accepted one of his proposals. [Hope sighs] And you didn’t. I know you said that you’re not ready. But I don’t think I’m far off saying that you’re trying to reconcile with Thomas ’cause you wanna push those feelings away. Those feelings that you have, you know, at least make them easier to ignore.
Hope: Mom, none of this has been easy.
Brooke: Honey, you are a good person, and you deserve so much more. But I just don’t want you to fall for Steffy’s husband. I know you don’t wanna get involved in that.
Hope: No. Of course I don’t. [sighs]
Deacon: I’m sorry. Uh, Hollis, what were you making?
Hollis: Marg. Rocks. No salt.
Deacon: Okay. No problem. Uh, this one’s on us. If you just give us a second, take care of that for you, all right?
Man: Okay. Thanks.
Deacon: Okay. Hey. You all right?
Hollis: Yeah. You know, I’m just–I’m still kind of struggling with everything, you know?
Deacon: Yeah, I know. I know. It’s tough to march on. As far as feeling off, I mean, Spencer really took me off guard.
Hollis: Yeah. I know the feeling. He’s a very protective guy.
Deacon: Well, I mean, he’s got a daughter now. That’s to be expected. But that’s not what talking about. I mean, he gave me his condolences for Tom, and he was–I don’t know– understanding. Kind. Definitely not the guy I know.
Hollis: I just–I–I still can’t get it, man. I mean, he was such a nice guy. Overdose. It doesn’t make sense. He was in such a good place, man.
Deacon: I know. Look, you know, we may never know what challenges Tom was dealing with, you know, what demons he was wrestling with. I can’t stop thinking that we must have missed something. How did we not pick up on something? [sighs] Look, Hollis, you, uh– you wanna get off the floor for a few minutes? Maybe go in the back and do something for me?
Hollis: Yeah. Sure. Whatever you want, boss.
Deacon: Just go back and, uh–I don’t know– straighten up the supply closet, you know, take a little inventory, take a few breaths. Okay?
Hollis: Okay.
Deacon: Okay.
[sighs]
Hollis: Tom’s bag.
Luna: Okay, renting out an entire venue for a father/daughter dance is where I draw the line.
Bill: Just tell me who you’re listening to, and I’ll hire them.
Luna: No, it’s not gonna happen.
Poppy: I have to admit that our girl has never been a big fan of parties in her honor.
Bill: How about a dance party right in our living room? How about that?
Luna: Okay, fine. If we have to.
Poppy: By the way, have I mentioned it how thrilled I am that your Luna’s father?
Bill: She’s mentioned that.
Brooke: I can see it clearly because I’m on the outside looking in. And you getting involved with Thomas would be a distraction from Finn, a way to push down those feelings. I also know that you’re afraid of turning into somebody else.
Hope: Who?
Brooke: Me. It’s okay. I know how you feel, sweetie. You’re terrified of that. And you’re on the precipice of becoming exactly like your mother if you allow yourself to have those feelings for Finn.
Steffy: I appreciate everything that you’re saying. I really do. Look, I have to admit it was– it was really hard at the beginning. I mean, the way you were just talking about Sheila, it was– it was really upsetting. And I thought I was losing you all over again.
Finn: No. Honey, never, okay? I was just– I was just momentarily led astray by my emotions.
Steffy: Sheila knew how to fan those emotions.
Finn: Yeah.
Steffy: Look, I don’t wanna talk about her anymore. I can’t. I’m done. [sighs]
Finn: Okay. And, like, I– I understand if you can’t forgive me right now. But just know that I will spend the rest of our lives trying to get forgiveness for this, okay?
Steffy: Finn, I– I believe you. I believe what you’re saying. That’s why I forgive you. [sighs, laughs]
Finn: Okay. I will never let you down again. Okay? I love you.
Steffy: Oh!
Finn: I love you so much.
Steffy: I love you. I– It’s you and me, Finn. [Finn chuckles] We can’t lose sight of that. And we can never let anything or anyone come between us again. Okay?
Finn: Okay.
Steffy: Oh, I love you. [Steffy sighs]
Brooke: With Thomas engaged to Paris, it’s more important than ever that you don’t let these feelings take over. I’m serious, Hope. You can’t allow yourself to feel that way for Steffy’s husband.
