Steffy: Granddad and the kids are watching a movie.
Finn: He and donna are okay with kelly and hayes sleeping over?
Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Grandad suggested it, and he really is just a big kid himself.
Finn: [Chuckles]
Steffy: [Exhales]
Finn: A glass of wine?
Steffy: How about the whole bottle? It’s been that kind of day.
Finn: You okay?
Steffy: Just letting everything just sink in.
Finn: Yeah.
Steffy: We need to find out about tom and hollis, that they died both from an overdose, the same drug. And then chief baker takes sheila in for questioning? You urged him to do that.
Finn: If you asked me what I thought, I told him the truth.
Steffy: Sheila was really surprised. She thought that you were going to defend her.
Finn: The way I have in the past? It’s okay. You can say it. I’ve made a lot of allowances for my birth mother’s actions.
Steffy: But no more. You stood up for me. And our family.
Brooke: So sheila is at the police station being questioned.
Ridge: If baker’s smart, he’s gonna hold onto sheila until she tells him the truth.
Hope: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why sheila would want either of them dead.
Brooke: Maybe they had something on her. Maybe they knew something sheila didn’t want getting out.
Hope: Okay, well, like what?
Ridge: I don’t– it’s sheila. It could be anything. She’s always keeping somebody else’s secret, protecting somebody, right?
Hope: Uh, when you talked to steffy, did she mention anything about my dad?
Ridge: What? No. I’ll mention something about your dad. May I? He should get on the phone, find the best divorce lawyer in the country, and get rid of that mess he’s in. What’s he thinking? Why would he marry that woman? Did she dupe him the same way she duped finn? Probably. But you know what? At least finn was smart enough to walk away from it, because according to steffy, he was defending his wife and his kids in front of this crazy birth mother. So not all is lost. It’s a step in the right direction.
[Theme music playing]
Brooke: So, did they find more evidence that points to sheila?
Ridge: Not yet. But the toxicology report is damning. And tom and hollis, they died of the same drug, same dose. And who do you think could administer something like that? Psycho nurse. So I’m glad baker’s holding onto her. And I’m also glad that finn has seen the light.
Hope: What do you mean?
Ridge: You know what I mean. He’s always tied to sheila in some way, but I think he’s figured it out because maybe he saw that it’s affecting his marriage, so he’s stepping away from it. And maybe now he can be the husband and the father that steffy needs him to be.
Finn: I feel like a fool defending sheila so often in the past.
Steffy: There was a lot of conflicting emotions, and finn, I– I know you. I care about people.
Finn: But that’s no excuse. Too many times I’ve left you feeling unheard. Your concerns were very real. I’m sorry.
Steffy: Hey, hey, it’s okay. That’s behind us now. I mean, you were there for me when it mattered today. You were there for kelly and hayes and, like I said, you stood up for us. And I love you so much for it. Always dry scoop before you run.
Ridge: Steffy loves finn. Some of the choices he’s made.
Brooke: Where sheila’s concerned.
Ridge: Yeah, where sheila’s concerned. He always gives her the benefit of the doubt. He should have pushed her away a long time ago.
Hope: Well, he would have if she wasn’t his birth mother.
Ridge: Li is his mother. She’s the one that raised him when he was a kid. Am I wrong?
Brooke: Thank god. If sheila didn’t give him up, she would have raised him. Can you imagine the life he would have had?
Ridge: What’s the difference? He still let her into his life after he knew who she was. He should have pushed her away, told her to go away, and maybe he wouldn’t have this problem. Maybe she would’ve gotten the message. Or maybe not. It’s sheila. I don’t know.
Brooke: Yeah, you know sheila. When lines are drawn, she manages to step right over them or erase them completely, especially when finn is involved.
Ridge: Well, that’s it. Steffy can see what sheila’s doing, and she wants finn to see it, as well.
Brooke: But he couldn’t cut sheila out of his life. Not completely.
Ridge: But that’s it. This is the problem. Steffy thinks that he can’t be the husband and the father that she needs.
Hope: Steffy shouldn’t have to question his commitment and love to their family. I mean, it’s– it’s pretty obvious. Steffy is lucky to be married to a man like finn. She’s very lucky.
Steffy: Sheila’s always been her own worst enemy. Like nothing is ever enough. She’s never satisfied with what she has.
Finn: You mean her, like, her life with deacon?
Steffy: That I will never understand. Like, how could he love a woman like that? And honestly, after everything that’s happened, I really thought that maybe, just maybe, sheila could change and be, like, a better wife. But no. Now she’s implicated in this very suspicious death, and– at her husband’s restaurant. Like, this is gonna be really bad business for him.
Finn: Oh. Yeah and he might have to lock his doors up soon. He’s gonna lose everything he worked for.
Steffy: All because she killed two men that ticked her off for some reason.
Finn: Well, and I’ve been trying to figure out, like, what that reason would be. Why would she go after tom and hollis?
Steffy: Finn, you’re not–
Finn: No.
Steffy: Okay.
Finn: No, I meant every word I said to baker earlier. Yes, I believe in second chances, but everywhere that sheila goes, bad things happen, and it would be irresponsible to just take her word when she says that she had nothing to do with tom and hollis’ deaths.
Steffy: In all likelihood, she did it. But you know, she’s not gonna cop to it.
Finn: Hey, it’s up to the cops now. But whatever they find out, just never forget that you and the kids will always be my priority.
[Cellphone chimes]
Ridge: Oh, no, I forgot. I have a meeting with the mayor. I gotta go. I’m sorry.
Brooke: Oh, no, that’s okay. Yeah. Of course.
Ridge: Bye.
Brooke: Oh… oh, my gosh. With all this drama swirling around about sheila, of course we’re gonna forget things like that.
Hope: I’m just– my mind’s on dad. I hope he’s okay. But do you think I should go and check on him or–?
Brooke: No, no, just let things settle down a bit. Besides, he’s probably at the police station cheerleading for sheila. But now I can have a moment alone with you.
Hope: Oh, did you want to talk about something?
Brooke: Well, I just wanna see how you’re doing.
Hope: Ah, you mean now that paris has left with thomas and douglas?
Brooke: I know how you miss douglas when he’s not around.
Hope: I do. Terribly. And I will always be his mother. But, mom, you should know that thomas made it a point to say to me that he wants to prioritize our relationship, that he’s not trying to keep my son from me, so…
Brooke: Okay.
Hope: You’ll also be happy to know I– I have come to terms with their engagement.
Brooke: You have?
Hope: Yes. I gave thomas my blessing, and I wished him the best.
Brooke: Oh…
Hope: So, I mean, it’s not… easy to accept the fact that he has moved on with paris, but, um… I don’t– I don’t know. Maybe he’s right. Maybe we were never meant to be.
Hope: Wait, wait. What do you mean, who’s right? Thomas?
Hope: No. Finn.
Hope: Finn believes that I can do better than thomas, and I know you felt the same way.
Brooke: Okay, well, now I’m not concerned about thomas. I’m concerned about your feelings for finn.
Hope: Mom, relax. We’re just– we’re good friends.
Brooke: Honey, things can happen, things that you never intend to. A perfectly innocent moment could suddenly ignite. I want you to be careful around him. I really do. He’s happily married, honey.
Hope: Well, I mean, according to steffy.
Brooke: According to finn, he loves steffy.
Hope: [Sighs] I know, I know.
Brooke: I just don’t want you to do something that you’re going to regret.
Hope: Mom, I– I can handle it. Besides, I am well aware that finn is devoted to steffy. She would never let me forget that fact.
Brooke: Okay, well, don’t forget they have a family, too.
Hope: I am also aware of that, but so… is finn not allowed to have friends?
Brooke: Yes, of course.
Hope: So we’re good friends. And it’s through that friendship that I have come to realize that I am deserving of a man who is intelligent, loyal, capable. A man just for me.
Brooke: Yes, and that man won’t be finn.
Hope: No, I mean, if finn happened to have an identical twin brother who was available, I mean, I wouldn’t complain. But, uh, since that is not a possibility and finn is married to steffy…
Brooke: Somebody that you’ve been at odds with lately.
Hope: Who I will probably always be at odds with. I just don’t want that to affect my relationship with finn.
Steffy: As much as I miss the kids, it’s really nice to have a night to ourselves.
Finn: Yeah, especially after the day we’ve had.
Steffy: [Groans] But you did the right thing. Telling chief baker what you did. And, yeah, even though sheila is your birth mother, this is a woman who shot you. And I think about all the things she’s done to us. I mean, even your real mother, she drove her off the road. And now tom and hollis.
Finn: Hey, honey, we have better things to do than talk about this. Especially when I’m lying here with the sexiest wife in the world. I have an idea.
Steffy: Go on.
Finn: No more talk. Let’s get you out of these clothes. Honestly, I was scared when I was told age
Brooke: Sweetheart, we’ve had a lot of conversations about finn. You’ve admitted to me that you’re attracted to him.
Hope: Well, would you rather I had lied and just told you what you wanted to hear?
Brooke: I’m glad that you were honest with me. I just want you to be honest with yourself. Finn is off limits.
Hope: Oh, my gosh. I realize that.
Brooke: He is married to a woman that you’ve had a history with, especially dealing with men.
Hope: Well, what can I say? We have similar tastes.
Brooke: Okay, well, you’ve been on a collision course before in the past, and now it’s with finn. Just want to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made. I know you said that you don’t want to.
Hope: I’m sorry if I offended you with that.
Brooke: No, no, I totally understand. I don’t want you to, either, sweetie. I just know you’re in a very vulnerable place right now. First thomas, now finn. I wanna make sure you can handle things.
Hope: Mom, finn is important to me as a friend. He listens. He’s sensitive to what I’m going through. He has been incredibly supportive of me during this difficult time, and I value that. And I’ve come to admire him as a man. In many ways. +
Finn: I don’t know about you, but… I think we needed that.
Steffy: [Chuckles] Yeah, we definitely did. Never got enough alone time. Especially with our… two rambunctious kids. It’s not just the kids, though. I mean… it’s my crazy schedule at the hospital. And, like, I know it’s probably not easy being the wife of a doctor. Not that you’d ever complain. Hey, promise me something. Never doubt or question the love I have for you.
Steffy: I don’T. And after today, the way you stood up for me, our family– that means the world to me.
Finn: I love you.
Finn: Well, I know you’re pulling for me.
Hope: Yeah, I just want what’s best for you.
Finn: Well, I appreciate it.
Hope: I’m just glad that you’re comfortable sharing all this with me. Thank you. And… I don’t know, just continue to prove that you’re such an incredible man. So, thanks.
Brooke: But things can happen, honey. Things that you never intended to. A perfectly innocent moment could… suddenly ignite. Just be careful. Very careful where finn’s concerned.
Hope: [Sighs]
