[tense music plays] Steffy, please. I’m sorry. You’re a monster. I don’t know what Bill was thinking getting you out of jail, but that’s exactly where you’re headed. FINN: Mr. Williams, your ALT level’s still above the safe threshold. Well, good. I commend you on making those lifestyle changes, but unfortunately, in some cases, what you did in the past affects your life today. Yeah, uh, no, yeah, I’m still here. Uh, yeah, give a call to Nancy and, uh, set up a follow-up. Okay. Thank you. She’s incarcerated, but she’s not in prison. She’s under house arrest. House arrest. At Bill Spencer’s. [gasps] SHEILA: Tough day? I was in the building. I just wanted to stop by and say hello to my handsome son. Daphne has no place here– not after what she’s done. So tell her, Carter. Why don’t you tell her to go back to Paris…today? Hope. Why are you hesitating? She crossed a line when she kissed you. She betrayed our trust, so… she needs to go. Isn’t that right, Carter? You shouldn’t be here. Well…I miss you. Oh, I ca-I can’t- I can’t do this right now. Something’s bothering you. It’s nothing. Sweetheart, look at me. No, I can see it in your eyes. Something’s wrong. [uneasy music plays] I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, okay? -I feel terrible. -Not terrible enough to serve your time, apparently, take accountability for your crimes. I hate myself for what I did, especially to you–Finn’s wife. My dad’s wife. I wouldn’t get too comfortable calling Finn your dad because you’re never gonna have a relationship with him ever again. [heavy chords play] Daphne obviously has no respect for me, for us, or Forrester. Au contraire. I have deep admiration for Forrester. But this isn’t Forrester– not really. Yes, it is, and it’s better than ever. Is that what you believe, Carter? You’ll make Forrester better without the Forresters? HOPE: [sighs] Please do not listen to her. She obviously has an agenda, and she is trying to make you feel guilty. I don’t need to make him feel anything–look at him. This takeover is weighing on him. I don’t need to explain this to you, but it has been weighing on both of us. Mm. That’s not true. Carter’s the only one who’s tormented. Taking Forrester from the people who saw him as family– it’s killing him. That family ignored and discounted him. You’re still making excuses, I see. You know, when I first arrived at Forrester, I didn’t expect to admire Carter. I thought I would meet a power-hungry, self-centered egomaniac. I was surprised to know that this man had principles and values. Unlike me? Carter made terrible mistakes. He lost his way. But you didn’t lose yours, did you? This is exactly who you are. Okay. Okay, Daphne. It was my idea to take over the company. An idea that tortured you, no? Stabbing your best friend in the back. Did your loving companion stop you… try to talk some sense into you? Or did she see it as an opportunity? Open your eyes. Hope’s using you. [heavy music plays] I’m fine, Sheila. Now, if you don’t mind, -I have– -No. You know what? I know my son, and I can tell when something is weighing on you and you’re trying to hide it– what is it? Nothing that I wanna get into. You shouldn’t even be here. Oh, because of Steffy? No, because of you, Sheila. My wife and I have every right not to want you in our lives. Steffy has been very clear about that. Oh, yeah, she has made it painfully clear. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done. But you know I am not that person any longer and, Finn, I am your mother. You’re my birth mother, Sheila. I have a mother who raised me. It’s my blood running through your veins and your child’s veins. I can’t even tell you the heartbreak that I feel not being close to my children. I missed out on your life, your childhood and now I have an opportunity, and Steffy won’t let me anywhere near you. But I pray that you never experience the pain that I feel… just wanting to be close to your child. Not sleeping at night, just wondering -if things had been different. -Sheila. I lost out on the opportunity to be your mother. And that’s a loss that I am going to have to carry with me for the rest of my life. [somber music plays] Look, I know that this is really painful and confusing for you, but Finn is my dad. It doesn’t matter. Of course it matters. Finn’s a part of me. I’m a part of Finn. We’re all family! Hayes is my brother now. Don’t you ever say his name again–ever! It’s the truth, Steffy. Finally, I have my truth. This question has been hanging over my head for my entire life– who my dad is. My mom lied to my face for over 20 years. She didn’t tell me that the most incredible man I’ve ever known is my father–things would be so different if I had known. Oh, so that’s the excuse now. Because you didn’t have a-a daddy it gives you every right to be a vicious murderer? No. That is not what I’m saying. I own what I did, and I’ll be haunted by it for the rest of my life. But please, Steffy, please don’t take Finn away from me. Steffy. How could you, Bill? -Please listen. -She tried to kill me. How could you release this monster from prison? How! [dramatic music plays] Honestly, this is getting so old, this narrative about me using people, discounting the fact that I have spent years building a successful line. Then you were fired and your line was killed. -What changed? -I don’t know. You tell me, Daphne. Sounds as if you’ve been talking to Steffy. What warped version of the story has she told you? I’ve been here long enough to formulate my own opinion. Carter’s a wonderful man who’s lost his way to defend you. -I didn’t– -DAPHNE: What? Lose your way? Yes, you did. Because of her. You don’t know anything about us. Carter and I spent a lot of time together. We shared personal stories. I understand he’s been waiting for the right woman And he’s found her. I’ve done nothing but support his dream, his vision. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you maybe are the one projecting because you haven’t found the right one, have you? So… if you care that little about her, why don’t you tell her to leave Forrester and never come back? Hope, um, you know how much I love you, and I get you’re outraged. But forcing Daphne to leave would be a mistake. [scoffs] [whispers] What? It was one kiss, and it should have never happened, but it was one mistaken kiss. You can understand how that can happen, right? -You can relate to that, right? -[sighing] And the fragrance line is integral to Forrester’s success. It’d be bad business if Daphne left for Paris, especially now. You want Daphne to stay. I know you’re upset… but yes. It’s best for the company if Daphne doesn’t go back to Paris. [dramatic music plays] SHEILA: I’m just trying to help you. I’m fine. No, you’re not. Honey, I can tell something is wrong. [sighs] Does it have to do with Steffy? What the hell were you thinking, Bill? She killed two innocent men and pinned it on her mother. She left me in a cage to die. She was gonna destroy my family! Leaving your granddaughter without a mother, and you… you got her out of prison? She’s still serving her sentence. Serving her sentence, what, here at your estate, really? She’s under house arrest. She can’t leave the property. Oh, my God! She is dangerous. She is gonna bring so much danger into our lives! -I have this under control. -You do not have Luna under control, Bill! I understand her in a way that no one else does. She manipulated you into thinking that you were her father! This bond that you think you have–it is a lie! -It’s not. -What are you talking about? How can you not see that she is a monster? What Luna did was beyond terrible–I’ll never defend it. But she’s a broken person, and I can help her. Has she been here this entire time? I didn’t want anyone to know. You would never understand. No one would understand. But Finn found out, and obviously he told you. I am not the same person who committed those crimes. And Bill believes me. BILL: The fact is that Luna has been dealt a horrible hand. She suffered things as a child that no one should. It doesn’t justify her crimes, but she has her whole life in front of her to make up for it, to be a better person. Luna is an evil person, and she belongs behind bars. And I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that happens. You’ll do everything in your power to put your husband’s daughter back behind bars, to destroy any chance they have at a meaningful relationship? Really, Steffy? You’re sure that’s something you could do? [dark music plays] [somber music plays] I cannot believe you are siding with Daphne. I’m siding with Forrester. We took over this company because we saw its potential, to treat our employees fairly without judgement. She kissed you. She apologized. She recognizes she was wrong. -Oh, you buy that? -Hope, we both know what it’s like to lose ourselves in the moment and regret it. We can show Daphne the same grace we wished Steffy showed you. It is so much deeper than that, Carter. Steffy is clearly in her head. She is accusing me of using you. As long as she makes a fragrance that takes this company to the next level, it doesn’t matter what she thinks. Both Zende and your mom, they’re conflicted. Steffy thinks you’re using me too–none of it matters. As long as they do their job, there’s no problem. Now, as manager of the LLC that runs Forrester Creations, I’m telling you, it’s imperative that Daphne stays on in Los Angeles. [speaking French] I know you think that you’re helping me, but whatever I got going on, I’ll figure out. -Okay? -I’m… I just wanna help because I love you. You’re my child, my blood, and it doesn’t matter how much distance or how tall those walls are are Steffy’s trying to build between us. There is nothing–nothing that can sever the relationship between a parent and a child. I miss you. I miss you and my grandchild so very much. [edgy music plays] My entire life has been one bad dream after another, okay, Steffy? I was-I was hurting and I-I– Oh, my God, save the sob story, Luna. No. I just want you to understand that finding out that Finn’s my father has been the most amazing thing to happen to me. To know that someone so amazing and honest and kind is the reason why I’m here– it makes me believe that maybe there’s some good in me too. There is no good in you. You have Sheila’s blood running through your veins. It’s Finn’s blood. He’s my dad. And I understand this is really complicated. We grew up thinking that we were cousins– Not to mention you’re a murderer. When he looked at me, he didn’t see what you see. He saw his daughter. I could feel his love. It was like this special bond that was created, like we connected on a deeper, more meaningful level. You’re a parent. You understand this. You tried to send your mom to prison for killing a man you thought was your father, and you’re gonna try to talk to me about a parent’s love? How’d that work out for Poppy? You have no idea what it was like growing up with her. She was never fit to be a parent, but Finn– Finn is exactly what I was missing in my life, okay? I want nothing more in the world to prove to you, to Bill, to Finn, to everyone that I’m a changed woman, okay? I wanna be someone that a father can be proud to look at. You are out of your mind! And you–Bill, you are so naive. She tricked you and made you think that you were her father after she killed two men! People change, Steffy. Enough! Enough! I don’t even wanna hear it! I don’t care what you have to say. Nothing you have done has changed. You committed murders. I don’t care what kind of strings you had to pull, what kind of bribes you had to do to get Luna out of prison. I’m gonna make it my personal mission to put you behind bars. And you know me, Bill. I will do everything I can to protect my family! -Steffy, I am your family! -No, you are not! You are nothing to me and you are especially nothing to Finn! You’re not his daughter. He doesn’t care about you! He doesn’t want a life with you! What you thought you saw in his eyes– you thought you saw love? That was pity. -No. No. -Yes, it was. Luna, I know exactly who you are. You tried to kill me. I begged for my life! I wanted to see my children, and I searched– I searched for every ounce of some humanity in your eyes, but I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t there! You just wanted me out of the way. I was some kind of like inconvenience to you. So I don’t care if you think you have some connection to Finn, that he is in your blood. You’re not his daughter. You never will be, Luna. Ever. [intense percussive music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.
