Steffy: I came here to work. I don’t need you to lecture me marriage.

Hope: Look, I know you’re dealing with a lot.

Steffy: And it seems like you’re piling more on me.

Hope: I understand. It’s painful enough as it is already. It’s just, I– I see what finn is going through and I’m just urging you, steffy, to please don’t allow sheila’s death to come between you and finn.

Liam: Steffy needed you, you know. And you walked out on her.

Finn: I don’t owe you an explanation, liam.

Liam: Okay, you got one for steffy then? ‘Cause she has no idea what’s going on with you. In fact, nobody does. Lamenting sheila like she’s this significant part of your life? Like, what are you– you know what? It’s fine. It’s fine. Steffy’s gonna be fine because I’ll be there. I mean, she needs someone she can count on, finn. And if it’s not you, it’s me.

Luna: Oh, my god. What happened? What– what am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what I asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it, but… you do know that what happened between us, what we shared, it was consensual, right? I would never–

Luna: I know that. But it doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did. But now? What have I done?

Poppy: So, this is where you’ve been hiding?

Luna: I’m working, mom. I’m busy.

Poppy: Too busy to answer my texts? I just wanna know that you’re okay, sweetheart.

Luna: I’m not. Not even close. Your mints turned my entire life upside down.

Poppy: Luna, I am so sorry.

Luna: Your apologies won’t fix anything, mom. I slept with zende thinking that he was rj. And now this secret is… it’s tearing me apart. I love rj. I mean, doesn’t he deserve to know the truth?

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hey, zende.

Zende: Bad time?

Rj: No, no, it’s fine. I just took a shower from a beach swim. It’s okay, come in. So, what’s up?

Zende: I thought we should talk.

Rj: About what? About work?

Zende: No, we can talk shop at the office. I came to see you here in private.

Rj: You want to talk to me in private? Why do you need to talk to me in private?

Zende: There are some things you need to hear.

Rj: What do I need to hear, zende?

Zende: I wanna make sure you understand how lucky you are to be dating luna.

Poppy: You can’t tell rj that you slept with zende.

Luna: Okay, so what am I supposed to do? What, I’m supposed to keep this secret locked up forever?

Poppy: Yes.

Luna: I don’t think I can do that. I don’t think I can keep what happened with zende from rj.

Finn: Do I have to remind you that it’s my wife that you are talking about?

Liam: No, I think I have to remind you it’s your wife I’m talking about. It’s like you’ve forgotten how lucky you are just to have her in your life.

Finn: I haven’t forgotten. I’ll never forget how blessed I am to have steffy in my life. And I don’t blame her for what happened. It’s complicated. But, frankly, it’s none of your damn business. You don’t know what I’m going through. Yes, we are all relieved that sheila is gone. But my birth mother is dead.

Steffy: Don’t act like you know more about this than I do. It happened to me.

Hope: I– all I’m trying to say is that I think it might be affecting finn a little more than maybe even you realize.

Steffy: You are overstepping right now.

Hope: Fine, fine, all right. Just trying to help, okay? I– I– I get that you might not understand what finn is going through. I just hope that you will try to respect it.

Steffy: I know finn is tormented by this. So am I. More than you could possibly imagine. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Rj: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me how amazing my girlfriend is. I– I know. She’s my girlfriend.

Zende: She’s a lot more than that, rj. She is smart and beautiful. Ambitious. Granddad thinks there’s a real future for her at forrester. And so do I. I know you like hanging out with her, spending time. Luna is special. I’m not sure you’re fully aware of that.

Rj: I’m completely aware of it. What I’m not sure is that you fully understand that we’re not just hanging out and having fun, zende. We’re in a committed relationship. And I– I don’t understand what it is that you’re saying or that you’re not saying, but luna and I are happy, okay? And you’re never going to be with her.

Poppy: Telling the truth can devastate rj.

Lun yeah,ut it’ the right thing do.

Poppy: Who benefits?No one if you’re questioning your relationship with rj.

Luna: No, I’m not. I love him.

Poppy: Then why hurt him by telling him something that you can’t change? For something that didn’t mean anything to you? Spare yourself this pain.

Luna: Mom, I’m not keeping this a secret to protect myself, mom. I mean, every single time I’m with rj, so good to me and I don’t wanna undermine rj and zende’s relationship. I mean, they’re– they’re like the next generation of forresters.

Finn: Steffy and I don’t need you or anyone telling us how to cope with this.

Liam: You’re not coping. You could cope at home. You’re bailing.

Finn: I told you, it is complicated.

Liam: Okay, then let me simplify it for you. Steffy shouldn’t be fighting through this all on her own.

Finn: And I shouldn’t be getting a warning from you. None of this is fair. My birth mother was stabbed to death in my home by my wife. I love steffy. I know sheila broke in, and steffy was defending herself, and I want to be there for her, but yes, I am struggling right now and I don’t need you to be putting me on blast for it.

Liam: Okay, I tried. Guess I can’t get through. One for the road. Don’t neglect steffy. Don’t take your marriage to her for granted like I did.

Finn: Because you’re waiting in the wings. Do you think that you’re being honorable? Giving me fair warning? Coming in here, interfering, acting like you know what steffy needs? What we need is privacy and some time to work this out. And we will. You got that, liam? Nothing and no one will come between steffy and me.

Hope: Steffy, I’m sorry. I am not trying to be insensitive. You acted out of self-defense. Everybody knows that, even finn.

Steffy: I still took a life. That’s the truth. Even though it was self-defense, even though I was trying to protect myself, it doesn’t change the fact that I watched a life leave someone’s body. That’s on me. I did that. And every time I close my eyes, that is all I see. Me killing her.

Is it menopause

or something else?

Hope: Steffy, I… I apologize. This wasn’t the time or place to talk about this. I was really not trying to upset you.

Steffy: Well, I appreciate your concern about finn and my marriage, but I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Hope: I understand that I don’t know how you’re feeling, and how this is gonna impact the both of you. All I know is that I talked to finn and saw a man wrestling with himself. He’s confused. He’s hurting. And I just was trying to give you the heads up and let you know.

Steffy: We are grappling with a very difficult situation. It’s emotional. It is painful. But it’s not insurmountable. We have gotten through many storms together. We’re gonna get through this one. We’ll be stronger. I’m not gonna let this disrupt my life with finn.

Rj: Have you said what you need to say? Because I have to go to the office and do some work and say hi to my girlfriend. Okay?

Zende: I’d feel the same way if I were you.

Rj: Listen to me. I don’t want to argue with you. We used to be close, and we still can be. But you need to lay off and respect my relationship with luna.

Luna: The forresters are a wonderful family. And they all love each other. They do, but when there’s tension between them, I mean, it affects everything.

Poppy: That’s true of every family.

Luna: Yeah, well, the nozawas aren’t exactly running an international fashion house.

Poppy: You don’t wanna mess things up.

Luna: I already have.

Poppy: But telling rj the truth can make things so much worse.

Luna: I know. I know. You don’t want me to mess up my future with rj. And you don’t want me to mess up my job at forrester, but… that’s not why I’m not telling him the truth. I mean, I’m fully willing to face the consequences of my actions.

Poppy: You didn’t know what you were doing.

Luna: I didn’t have a choice then, but I do now. But, I don’t know, as… as much as I want to tell rj the truth, I don’t want to ruin his whole life and his family. I don’t want to be the reason why zende and rj can’t work together. And I won’t mess up eric’s collection. I mean, that’s just– that’s way too important. To eric, to his sons and his grandsons. And rj has worked so hard to get zende on board. And I know that they’re trying to rebuild their connection, and I just– I can’t disrupt that.

Poppy: So, we agree. You’ll keep this secret?

Luna: You make it sound so simple. But this is hell, mom. I mean, I’m terrified that this is gonna ruin every good thing in my life, ’cause that’s what secrets do.

Poppy: No, sweetheart.

Luna: Like yours did to me. I don’t know, it felt like everything was finally coming together. And then one night, a decision that I didn’t even have any control over– and now everything is different. And I don’t know if it’ll ever be the same again.

[ Knock on door ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I had to see you, steff. I just– I miss you so much. My doctorrecommends

Poppy: Honey, look at me. It’s gonna be all right.

Luna: I don’t know, mom.

Poppy: Well, I do. Because I know you. I know your heart. I know you’re a good person. Okay, you want to do the right thing.

Luna: But am I? Like, this doesn’t feel right, keeping this secret and lying to rj.

Poppy: It’s not a lie. You love rj. Hey, that’s true. That hasn’t changed.

Luna: But it has. I slept with zende and that’s always gonna be there, right under the surface.

Poppy: Zende has agreed not to say anything, and neither should you. You made a mistake. It doesn’t have to destroy everything. Okay, I can see you’re still not sure, but honey, you can’t tell rj. Please, tell me you understand that.

[ Door opens ]

Rj: Hey. Hi, you.

Luna: Hey.

Rj: Hello.

Zende: We’re just coming from rj’s place. I just wanted to stop by, let him know how lucky he is to be dating someone as wonderful as you, luna.

Poppy: You’re both lucky to have each other.

Luna: Um, yeah. Yeah, it makes me like a little emotional, actually. You know, thinking about everything that I have to be grateful for. Especially you, rj. And how happy we are together, and… all the things we have to look forward to. I mean, I never want to do anything to hurt you or let you down.

Rj: You never could.

Steffy: I’m really glad you’re here. I know it’s hard to be at the house right now.

Finn: Yeah, look, I don’t want this to keep me away from you and the kids.

Steffy: I know. And I agree.

Finn: I– I know it’s– it’s hard for you to understand and– and accept. And I– I wish I could explain what I’m feeling. I just… I’m struggling right now, um, with sheila’s death. And I don’t blame you, okay? Not at all. It just– it feels like something’s missing. Like a connection’s been cut.

Steffy: Between us?

Finn: No, no, no. Not between us. Just between my birth mother and me.

Steffy: I know you’re struggling. I’m struggling too. I killed someone, finn. I took someone’s life. And… what have I done? All I see is just the paramedics there trying to save her. And I was just– I was in shock. I was in shock. I was unable to breathe. And no matter what sheila’s done to us, it still doesn’t change the fact that I– I killed someone. I killed someone. And I’m really trying to come to terms with that, but I just can’t get this memory– I can’t get this memory out of my head. Like, it haunts me.

Finn: Just– we can’t let this tear us apart.

Steffy: No. No. No, we can’t let it tear us apart. We can’T. But will you ever be able to look at me the same way? I– I don’t even know if I can look at myself the same. I am so sorry. I’m so, so sorry. So sorry.

Recap written by Suzanne

In Finn’s office, Li is aghast that Finn is upset that his birth mother died and that his wife killed her. She tries to get him to see reason about the situation and who Sheila really was. She’s worried that he’s risking his marriage. They discuss his feelings. He just wishes that Steffy hadn’t been the one to kill Sheila. Li isn’t happy to hear that he slept in his office.

At home, Steffy thanks Liam for visiting her, to listen to her, and taking care of Kelly. She feels guilty for killing Sheila. Liam is annoyed that Finn isn’t supporting her. Steffy protests that Finn is dealing with a lot, but Liam doesn’t buy that excuse. Steffy knows that Finn loves her and the kids. He reminds her that she and the kids can always count on him.

Deacon sits at home, looking at a glass of booze. Hope drops by to see how he’s doing, so he offers her a drink and then takes one himself. He talks about his visit to see Sheila in the morgue. Hope is very sympathetic. Deacon knows that Hope and her kids are the only people he has left in the world now. He apologizes for making her feel like he chose Sheila over them. She points out that Finn is also mourning Sheila. Deacon is surprised about that.

Liam also visits Finn in his office. Finn isn’t happy to see him and tries to get him to leave. Liam chews him out for leaving Steffy alone when she’s having a tough time. He warns Finn that if Finn isn’t there for Steffy, he will be.  Finn looks amused.

Hope is surprised to see Steffy at the office. Steffy just needed to leave the house. Hope expresses her sympathy, but she does it in an inept way that makes Steffy feel like she’s being judged. Hope doesn’t think she could have killed anyone, but she’s not blaming Steffy. What’s more, she tells Steffy that she needs to be patient and sympathetic with Finn because he’s having a hard time. She begs Steffy not to let Sheila’s death ruin her marriage.

Li: Please, stop talking like this.

Finn: No, mom, look, of course I consider you my real mother. All right, but sheila, she– she gave birth to me.

Li: And she almost killed you and steffy and me, so please just snap out of it. Sheila gave you nothing but pain, finn. Pain and heartache, and now finally she’s gone.

Finn: Because of my wife.

Li: Your wife fought to save herself, finn. Survived a terrible ordeal. Be grateful she’s alive.

Finn: No, um, I mean, I am.

Li: Then, wake up. Get over these feelings you have about sheila carter before you do something foolish to alienate steffy.

Steffy: Liam, you’ve been amazing. Thank you so much for being here and just listening to me and watching kelly for a few days while I figure this out.

Liam: Of course I’m here, where else would I be? There’s nowhere else I wanna be.

Steffy: I just feel so guilty. I mean, god, I killed someone. Who wouldn’t feel guilty?

Liam: Yeah, but you were ambushed. There was literally no alternative.

Steffy: Liam, there was nothing I could’ve done differently.

Liam: Exactly, and everybody knows that.

Steffy: Not everyone.

Liam: Okay, everybody, but finn knows that. Okay, listen, I know he’s, like, having a moment right now, but you’re the one who almost died. And what you need more than anything is understanding. Something you should be getting from your husband.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Yeah?

Hope: Dad?

Deacon: Hey, hope.

Hope: Uh, hollis called and said you went to the morgue today, and I figured you could use some company.

Deacon: Want a drink?

Hope: I, uh, wanted to see how you were holding up. I know sheila meant something to you.

Deacon: She still does. Look, I– I know this isn’t your favorite topic, so… when I found out she was gone, she was dead, I just– I had to go see her. I had to say goodbye, just… see her face one more time.

Li: Let it go. Sheila could never be what you wanted. This image you have as a loving, nurturing birth mother, she– it’s– it’s ludicrous.

Finn: Look, that’s not the way that I saw her. But look, I mean, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for sheila.

Li: Yes, if it wasn’t for her affair with your father. I’m very thankful she gave us you, but she almost took you away that night in the alley.

Finn: I know.

Li: Do you?

Finn: Yes.

Li: Then, how do you have any sympathy for that maniac?

Finn: I mean, like it or not, she’s part of my past. She’s my roots.

Li: All you shared was dna, nothing more.

Finn: So what, I should just be celebrating?

Li: No, that’s not what I’m saying. But you shouldn’t be mourning her either. Finn, does steffy know how you feel?

Finn: Yeah, I– I told her that it’s complicated for me. Not just that my birth mother is dead. It’s who killed her.

Liam: Finn has always straddled this line when it comes to sheila. And now, he’s walking out on you because of an attack on you?

Steffy: Well, he is still dealing with a lot right now.

Liam: I don’t care. This is his life that he chose. This is his home. You are his wife, for better or worse. Why isn’t he here?

Steffy: He said he’s trying to figure this all out. And I am trying to put myself in his shoes. We have survived many things. We can survive this. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Deacon: You must think I’m nuts caring about someone who hurt so many people.

Hope: I’m not here to judge you, dad. I came here because I love you. And yes, while I didn’t have room in my heart for sheila… I certainly have room for you and always will.

Deacon: Wow, I just realized, hope, that you’re the only person I have in this world. You and the kids. And I just hope you know how much you all mean to me. I– I know I haven’t always done right by you. And I’m sure talking about my connection to sheila’s about the last thing you want to do.

Hope: I’m not going to lie to you and pretend like it– it wasn’t upsetting. I mean, it felt like you were making excuses for her. It felt like you were choosing her over us.

Deacon: I– I really am sorry. I never meant to do that. And, you know, the fact that i caused you pain, that kills me.

Hope: Dad, look, in spite of my contempt for sheila, I’m still, you know, I understand that there are going to be people in this world that mourn her.

Deacon: Besides me, I can’t think of anyone in this world who’s gonna mourn sheila.

Hope: I can think of one person who cared about sheila. Finn.

Finn: Look, it’s a lot to absorb, knowing what steffy did.

Li: What sheila forced her to do.

Finn: And I’m not– not blaming steffy for defending herself. I just– I– I don’t know, I just wish it didn’t have to be this way.

Li: If sheila stayed away like you asked her to, sheila would still be alive. Steffy didn’t go looking for trouble. Sheila put her in that position. She broke into your home.

Finn: And I wish I knew why.

Li: Why, because she’s a murderous stalker! That’s why! Listen, honey, I know you want to make sense of all of this. But you never will. None of it. Right now, you need to focus on being a good husband.

Finn: I’m doing the best I can. All right, you think I like being apart from my wife?

Li: Apart?

Finn: Yeah, I slept here last night. You left your wife alone? She was attacked, finn. She almost lost her life. You have all this compassion for sheila. Where’s your compassion for your wife? Finn, what’s going on with you? You need to get your head on straight. Before you cause permanent damage to your marriage.

Steffy: Honestly, liam, I just want finn to come home and work through this together. I mean, we’re both hurting right now. We’re struggling. But I know our love is stronger and more powerful than anything when we’re together.

Liam: Well, I give you a lot of credit for trying to understand where he’s coming from. But there is no excuse for him having even an ounce of pity for sheila because he’s got a wife and kids.

Steffy: There’s no doubt in my mind that finn cares about me and the kids.

Liam: I’m not implying he doesn’t care. But he has obligations here in this home. He has a duty to prioritize you and the kids. And he’s not. So, I’ll tell you this much. Whether finn is out there moping or here, I’m here. You can count on me. You and kelly and hayes can always count on me. (Imitating chicken clucks)

Hope: And when I came here to tell you about sheila, I was shocked when I walked in and I just– I saw finn sitting here just holding a photo of sheila. And he was so upset.

Deacon: I– I didn’t realize how deep his feelings for sheila ran. You know, the saddest irony of this whole thing is that more than anything, sheila wanted to be accepted and loved. And now, she’s not here to see that finn really did love her.

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know, I love you. And you know that I, um, I feel about you. And you know that I just I want to get back to our– our beautiful little life, but I’m sorry, I can’T. Steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn, finn, finn. What are you doing? Finn.

Liam: Hi, john.

Finn: Ugh. Um, not now, liam. Um, I’m not in the mood.

Liam: Totally respect that, which is why I’m not gonna stay too long.

Finn: Are you not hearing me? Now is not a good time. I have a lot going on.

Liam: Yeah, no, I heard about what happened at your house.

Finn: What happened? Sheila died, liam.

Liam: Good thing steffy’s okay, though, right?

Finn: Yeah, I’m more thankful than anyone that she’s okay.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause I don’t know, I kinda feel like, I don’t know, you would be there then.

Finn: Excuse me?

Liam: I don’t get you. Like, I know that you’re going through a thing right now, but…

Finn: Uh, I am. So give me a minute. Do I not have the right to process this?

Liam: Yeah, I’m just not sure. What’s the thing that you’re processing? Is it the fact that your psychopath mother is dead? Or the fact that you walked out on your wife?

Steffy: Sheila, I know it’s you. Get out! I’ll do it!

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Steffy. I, uh, I didn’t think you would come in today.

Steffy: Yeah, I just had to, uh, I had to get out of the house.

Hope: I’m so, so sorry for what you’ve been through.

Steffy: It’s really upsetting to say the least. I, um, I can’t get sheila out of my head. I can’T. The way she lunged at me. I was only trying to protect myself.

Hope: I’m sure that was– is incredibly traumatizing. I mean, knowing that you had to kill someone. I can’t believe one bottle of tide

Liam: I was, uh, I was just with steffy.

Finn: You never waste an opportunity.

Liam: Yes, who happens to be my, uh, child’s mother.

Finn: Whatever, man. Can you, um, can you just stay away from my wife?

Liam: No, that’s not gonna work because then we’re both gonna be staying away from your wife and I’m actually concerned about steffy and the kids.

Finn: Well, don’t be. My birth mother, sheila, she’s dead.

Liam: Yeah, why do you do that? You’re trying to play it cool with me, but I know that you see sheila as this, like, warm, fuzzy, benevolent presence in your life. And do you know how that makes steffy feel? It’s alarming. It’s– it’s disloyal.

Finn: Okay, that’s– that’s enough, liam. Why don’t you just mind your own business, okay? This doesn’t concern you.

Liam: You really– you don’t have any idea how lucky you are. I mean, steffy is– is at home doing her best to wrap her head around this bizarre mama’s boy relationship you have with sheila, when any other woman put in that situation with that particular person would’ve dumped your ass, ages ago.

Finn: You don’t have to tell me how amazing steffy is. I’m well aware.

Liam: See, yeah, I was confused because instead of acting like it, you’re seemingly blaming her for almost getting murdered.

Finn: I am not blaming her.

Liam: She was protecting herself. She was protecting your family for you and you are hiding away here. Now, I’ve never understood your relationship with sheila. But this, you prioritizing your grief over her instead of taking care of your wife and kids.

Finn: That’s not what I’m doing.

Liam: No, it is what you’re doing. It is exactly what you’re doing, finn. You’re just lying to yourself about it. And it’s no wonder steffy feels so alone. Wait, she’s not alone. Because she has me. Well, there it is. Do I have your attention now? You see, I’m gonna do everything I can to make steffy feel safe and supported. And if you’re not up to that task, I’m the man she’s gonna start turning to.

Steffy: None of this has been easy for me, hope. Sheila broke into my home and went after me.

Hope: No, I– I know the details. You don’t need to relive that night. All I was trying to say, rather poorly, was that I– I can’t even begin to understand what you must be feeling. I mean, you had to kill someone. I mean, I don’t even think that I could do something like that.

Steffy: What is this? I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to have to grab the knife. But I needed to survive. It was either her or me. I had to protect myself.

Hope: No, of course.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that she shot me before?

Hope: No!

Steffy: Then, what is this? It’s like a weird vibe I am getting from you.

Hope: I– it’s– steffy, sheila has hurt my family too. She’s hurt my mom. I haven’t forgotten that.

Steffy: Let me tell you something. You would have done the exact same thing if you were in my situation.

Hope: I am sure that it was absolutely terrifying. I am sure that all you could think about was the children.

Steffy: Sheila tried to take me away from my children. I wasn’t gonna let that happen again.

Hope: I am just– I’m trying to say that I understand this is a very heavy burden to bear. I was just talking to my dad and he was saying that… look, roll your eyes at my dad and his feelings for sheila all you want. That’s fine. Just please don’t make that mistake with finn.

Steffy: What does this have to do with my marriage?

Hope: I saw finn. And we talked and… despite your feelings for sheila, steffy, finn still has a very real connection to her. And I am just trying to say finn is a good man. Steffy, please just be patient with him. Give him some time to grieve and to process this. I mean, we all– we all couldn’t stand sheila. But at the same time, I mean, that is still finn’s mother. I mean, he– he wouldn’t exist without her. So, I just– I hope you will try to be, I don’t know, just sympathetic to the fact that this is a very complex, difficult time for finn. He’s just in a very vulnerable place right now. I just hope that you will be careful. Steffy, please don’t let sheila’s death interfere with your marriage.

Recap written by Suzanne

The professional cleaners clean up Steffy’s house (because of Sheila’s blood and all) while she hovers nearby. She has a flashback to killing Sheila. One of them asks her if she’s OK and thinks she shouldn’t be alone.  She thanks them for making her feel safer.

Li goes to see Finn in his office. She’s overjoyed that Sheila’s dead, but he tells her to stop going on about it. Li keeps on talking about how awful Sheila was until Finn yells at her that his birth mother is dead. She looks stunned.

Eric and Donna are shocked after Ridge tells them that Steffy killed Sheila. They discuss it and are shocked to hear that Finn hasn’t been supportive of Steffy.

Deacon goes to the morgue to see Sheila (set up by Finn) and ends up chatting with the pathologist. He doesn’t understand how or why Sheila attacked Steffy. He talks to Sheila’s dead body, telling her how much he loved her. He has the pathologist uncover her face, so he can say goodbye one last time.

Recap written by Suzanne

Ridge consoles Steffy in her home. She’s still upset about having shot Sheila, and Finn walking out on her right before the police came.

Hope comforts Finn in her arms (in Deacon’s place). She understands that he has a connection with Sheila that the rest of them didn’t. She thinks he needs to process his grief. She advises him to get through this with Steffy.

RJ and Zende are shocked to learn from Thomas that Steffy killed Sheila.

Deacon drops by Steffy’s house, upset that Sheila is dead. She and Ridge are annoyed that he’s so upset and doesn’t seem to understand that Steffy acted in self defense. Deacon can’t understand why Sheila did this, since he knows she worked so hard to change. Deacon gets upset when Ridge says that she got what she deserved, and when he sees her blood on the floor.

After Deacon leaves, Finn arrives. Steffy is glad to see him. Ridge yells at him for not being there for Steffy, but Steffy asks Ridge to leave them alone. Steffy apologizes, and then she and Finn hug. She thinks they can get through anything together. However, when she goes to kiss him, he can’t bring himself to kiss her back (gee, maybe because his dead mom’s blood is still on the floor nearby?? Not very romantic!). He doesn’t know why he’s reacting the way that he is. He’s very uncomfortable and rushes out, apologizing that he needs more time. Steffy calls after him, shocked, and then she gets very upset that he’s left her all alone.

Hope tells Thomas about her visit with Deacon.

Steffy: I’ll do it!

Sheila: No!

Cleaner: Ma’am? Are you okay?

Steffy: What?

Cleaner: I’m sure this is a very difficult time for you, but… you really can’t be alone. Is your husband home?

Steffy: No. My husband’s not here.

Steffy: She’s gone, finn. Sheila’s dead. It was either her or me. I didn’t– I didn’t have time to think. I just– I just reacted. I– I had to survive.

Li: I can’t believe it. Sheila carter’s actually dead?

Eric: How’s steffy holding up?

Ridge: You know her. She’s strong, resilient.

Eric: No, yeah. But something like this.

Donna: Yeah, I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for steffy, to…

Eric: What an ordeal for her to have to go through. That she had to do what she had to do. Wow. Sheila carter’s finally dead.

Pathologist: Can I help you?

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, I’m deacon sharpe. I’m here to pay my respects to sheila carter.

Donna: It’s just so hard to believe.

Eric: Sheila carter’s finally out of our lives.

Ridge: The paramedics confirmed it. Sheila’s dead.

Pathologist: Since the police investigation is ongoing, the deceased’s body will remain here at the morgue.

Deacon: Right. Dr. Finnegan set this up for me. He thinks I need closure. Sheila and I were engaged to be married.

Finn: How’s hayes? Did he sleep okay?

Li: Yeah. Don’t worry about hayes. He loves spending time with grandma li.

Finn: Hm. He’s with brooke now?

Li: Yeah. Yeah, I had a meeting I couldn’t reschedule, but as soon as it’s over, I’ll go pick him up. Right now, though, I’m concerned for you. And steffy, of course. I hate that it happened the way it did. But I’m not sorry sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I, uh, I really appreciate everything. Cleaning my home and making it feel safe again.

Cleaner: Sorry you’re going through something so traumatic.

Steffy: Thanks.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Liam: Yeah, I heard.

Donna: What sheila did was– was crazy. And breaking in like that and taunting and terrorizing steffy.

Eric: Well, steffy did what she had to do. She had to stop sheila.

>>Idge: , She stopped her,: Is there anything that we can do? I mean, I’m sure steffy’s getting a lot of support. Especially from finn, but…

Ridge: Yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you?

Eric: You saying he’s not being supportive?

Ridge: Listen, I like the kid and I respect him. But I’m confused why he’s so distraught by this woman dying.

Finn: Can we just not talk about sheila right now?

Li: Believe me, I’d like nothing more now that she’s finally out of our lives.

Finn: Well, she’s gone, mom. Okay? So just let it go.

Li: Let it go? After all that woman did? She went after steffy. Again. Intent on making sure she didn’t make it this time. Thank god steffy did. That she finally took out that sick, twisted psychopath for good. Sheila carter finally got what she deserved.

Liam: I mean, kelly’s doing great. She loves staying with me and her grandpa bill. Not that she doesn’t miss her mom and her little brother. I just think it’s probably best she stay with me for now.

Steffy: Yeah. Thank god she wasn’t here.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure she never finds out about it, but news these days.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. It travels fast. I’m sure she’s gonna hear things at school.

Liam: Well, try not to think too much about that. That’s the least of your worries. Just focus on getting past this and moving on.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. That’s exactly what my mom said when we video chatted. It’s just strange being here. Where it happened. I mean, sheila’s blood on the floor. But thankfully, the cleaners were here to take care of it.

Liam: Yeah, I saw that. Going out to the van.

Steffy: Hm. Just so much pain, you know, and heartache. It’s all because of sheila. I just never thought it was gonna end.

Liam: Well, it has. ‘Cause she’s dead. And she’s never gonna hurt anyone you care about ever again. I– I know that what you’ve just been through is traumatic. But please, steffy, please never doubt that you did the right thing. Please never doubt that you did exactly what you should’ve done. By killing her.

Deacon: It’s so cold in here. Um… look, I probably, uh, know the answer to this, but I’m gonna ask anyway. Has anyone else been here to see her? Anyone? God, I miss her so much. I’m probably the only one. I’m sorry I don’t even know why I’m saying this to you.

Pathologist: Sometimes it’s easier to open up to someone you don’t know. Would you like to see her now?

Deacon: Yeah.

Pathologist: I’ll give you a moment alone.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell happened?

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Donna: Well, as horrible as sheila was, I mean she did give birth to finn.

Ridge: Yes, she did. And then she shot him and steffy in cold blood and left them in an alley to die. Not exactly mother of the year material.

Eric: No. But finn grew up never knowing who his birth mother was.

Ridge: Well, he knows who she was now. The woman who tried to kill his wife, twice. And you know what? Finn should be there for steffy right now and I don’t think he is.

Li: Karma’s a bitch. Sheila’s hurt so many people, it’s about time justice finally caught up with her. Quite frankly, I was beginning to think it never would. That her reign of terror will go on and on, but no more. Someone finally stopped her. Steffy finally stopped her. Which seems almost fitting. Sheila dying at your wife’s hands, given what sheila did behind that restaurant. Pointing a gun at steffy, then pulling the trigger, leaving her and you both for dead. But that’s who sheila was. Heartless, soulless, vile.

Finn: Okay, can you just stop? Stop, mom. Sheila was a person, a human being, and now she’s dead. My birth mother is dead.

Liam: Steffy, you did what anyone in your position would and should have done. It’s black and white. You defended yourself. The woman wanted you dead, right? She probably thought that she’d have finn and hayes all to herself if you were out of the picture.

Steffy: Believe me, I know that, liam. But I– I took a life. I mean, that’s not who I am.

Liam: What if kelly were here? She could’ve been hurt. She could’ve been kidnapped. Or worse. Every single one of you was in jeopardy as long as sheila was alive and breathing. And because of you, none of us ever have to worry about her again.

Deacon: Sheila carter. I– I don’t understand this. Sheila, I– I saw you change. I saw it with my own eyes. I just don’t understand. How did this happen?

Not flossing well?

Deacon: You’re so peaceful. Which is almost funny because that’s about the last word I’d ever use to describe you. I never told you this, but i used to always think of you like a beautiful rainstorm. Unpredictable, never boring. One minute, chaotic and relentless, and the next, exhilarating and intoxicating. I’ve always, um, felt like I was alone, even in a room full of people. I just got used to not needing anybody. And then I met– then I met you. And I needed you. And I didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Because I knew what I was supposed to do next. I was gonna stand by you, no matter what. But now, I– I don’t know what to do next. I’m never gonna forget you. You are always gonna be a part of me, sheila. Do you think I could see her face? Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Donna: Wait, what do you mean finn isn’t with steffy?

Eric: What is this, ridge? What’s going on?

Ridge: Well, finn can’t come to terms with the fact that his wife had to defend herself and kill his birth mother. He should be with steffy right now. And he’s not.

Li: I am your mother, finn. Not sheila.

Finn: Of course you are. But I just–

Li: No buts. What’s– what’s going on with you? If you’re reacting this way with me, I can only imagine what steffy’s thinking.

Liam: Well, uh, yeah. I shouldn’t stay long. I imagine finn will be home soon and I don’t wanna cause any tension. That’s probably the last thing you need right now, so. Steffy?

Steffy: Yeah. Finn will be home soon, won’t he?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know if and when my husband’s coming home.

Liam: What are you talking about?

Steffy: God. Finn is struggling with sheila’s death. He, um… he says that I’m responsible.

Liam: Oh, really? Finn is struggling? He’s struggling? Such a struggle for him. I don’t care. That is ridiculous. I don’t care that she’s his birth mother. She tried to kill you. You were defending yourself and his entire focus right now should be on you and the kids. How does he not understand that?

Steffy: No, no. I mean, he does. I mean, this whole… god. This whole situation is really disturbing and it’s emotionally challenging. Like, I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t want sheila in here. But she gave me no choice. I had to grab a knife. I had to protect myself.

Liam: Yes. Exactly. You had to do what you had to do to survive. You’re not doing anything wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re not this horrible human being that was sheila. This is the whole point. That’s who she was. Everybody understands that. Everybody gets that. So, it’s kind of beyond me why finn doesn’T. You know what else is beyond me? That he isn’t here right now. Because I’m here. I’m here for whatever you want, whenever you want it. My love and support is free.

Steffy: Thank you. Thank you for just listening to me and being here.

Li: Steffy is your wife. She needs you now more than ever.

Ridge: I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through. This woman breaking in here and attacking you, and… you having to defend yourself. I just am so happy that–

Steffy: I’m just really glad that you’re here. I know the threat is gone, but it’s nice that I’m not alone right now.

Ridge: I’ll always be here. Whatever you need. And your husband should be here too. Where’s finn?

[ Finn groans ]

Finn: You must think I’m insane for reacting this way.

Hope: No, finn, I… I don’T. Look, the woman who gave you life has died. You are allowed to grieve that.

Finn: Yeah, but the woman that she was and the… and the things that she did? You know, it’s not like I’ve forgotten.

Hope: Of course you haven’T. I mean, finn, but, look, to everyone else, we just… myself included, we just knew her for… for the crazy, for the crimes. But to you?

Finn: But to me, she was my mother. She was this woman who brought me into the world. And… and now she’S… she’s gone. She’s dead. That’s because of steffy.

Rj: She’s dead?

Thomas: Yeah.

Rj: Oh, my god. Is steffy okay?

Zende: Carter just filled me in. It’s really true. Steffy killed sheila.

Rj: Wait, the kids. Were– were they–

Thomas: No. Kelly and hayes weren’t home. Yeah, steffy was by herself when sheila broke in.

Rj: Steffy must be in shock right now.

Thomas: Yeah, she’s shaken up, that’s for sure. Look, steffy hated sheila, but she never intended to kill her.

Steffy: I told sheila to leave, but she kept inching closer and closer to me. I thought she had a gun, and then she lunged at me. I mean, I was trying to protect myself.

Ridge: I know, I understand. Everybody does.

Steffy: Even finn?

[ Loud knocking ]

Ridge: Oh, deacon, what’s up?

Deacon: You killed sheila?

Finn: I just– I can’t believe that this is happening. I… I keep seeing sheila’s blood on the floor, the way it looked, and on my hand, and I mean… I mean, she was murdered in my house by my wife.

Hope: But steffy must be horrified too. I mean, what she went through tonight?

Finn: You know, she says it was self-defense, and not that I don’t believe her, it’s just… hope, this is– this is overwhelming.

Hope: I mean, this is– this is going to take time for both you and steffy.

Finn: I couldn’t even look at her.

Hope: Steffy?

Finn: Yeah. I couldn’t hold my wife. I– I couldn’t touch her. I don’t want to… I don’t want to say this, but I don’t think I can… I don’t think I can be in that house. Wanna know how I get this glow?!

Zende: Do you think that steffy could be in trouble for this?

Rj: No. Well, I mean, she already tried to kill steffy once. She shot my mom and yours. I mean… I mean, I’m not gonna say I’m sad that she’s gone.

Thomas: I agree. And in terms of the police, my dad texted me, told me that chief baker was there asking some questions and I’m sure that’s totally normal in this kind of situation. Look, we’re gonna do everything in our power to protect her.

Steffy: I don’t know what you heard, but–

Deacon: Is it true, steffy? Did you kill sheila? I mean, finn wouldn’t lie about that, would he?

Ridge: Finn?

Steffy: Finn told you?

Deacon: See, he said that, uh, she wasn’t gonna be coming back and the police were involved. And I thought– I thought maybe she came back here and you had her arrested. You convinced the police–

Steffy: There was no time to call the police. Sheila was on a mission. She tried to lunge at me! I grabbed a knife. It was self-defense.

Deacon: You wanted her dead. You said that at my place. You taunted her.

Ridge: What are you implying here?

Deacon: Was this premeditated? Did you plan this?

Steffy: Premeditated? What are you talking about? I wanted a night with my husband. That lunatic came onto my property.

Ridge: And she attacked my daughter. Left her no choice. No choice at all. And sheila got what she deserved.

Finn: I wasn’t there when it– when it happened. I– I didn’t witness it, but… every time I close my eyes, I see it. I see steffy holding the knife and stabbing sheila. I can’t– I can’t get the image out of my head.

Hope: No, but you will though. Eventually. I promise. Your brain is just trying to– to make sense of all of this.

Finn: Well, you probably thought sheila had it coming.

Hope: I think, uh, I think my feelings on the matter are very complicated. And if that’s true for me, I can only imagine what you’re going through. Finn, I know you don’t condone the things that sheila has done. And yet you still feel a connection to her. And that is understandable. You have every right to grieve the loss of your mother. I just want you to– to also focus on what is most important. And that is the fact that your family is okay. Steffy, the kids, they’re safe. So, if you focus on that, eventually, everything will be all right.

Finn: Yeah, will it though?

Hope: I– I mean, some people might have a hard time understanding what you’re going through. But, uh, I get it. And I can assure you your feelings are valid. So, I– I’m here for you. Whatever you need. (Man) mm, hey, honey.

Deacon: Got what she deserved? My god, ridge, are you really that cruel?

Ridge: You do remember what she did to my family.

Deacon: I know that she changed.

Ridge: Really?

Deacon: I’d never seen anybody work so hard to better themselves. All she ever wanted was to be accepted.

Ridge: So, the woman that broke in here, attacked my daughter again, that’s the better version of sheila? Is that what you’re saying?

Deacon: I don’t understand this. This doesn’t make sense.

Ridge: Nothing she ever did made sense.

Deacon: Steffy, are you sure that you– you didn’t misinterpret something that–

Steffy: Interpret? Deacon, what are you talking about? She broke into my home. She refused to leave.

Ridge: It’s okay. That’s enough. My daughter had a bit of a rough night. What she needs right now is support. It seems to me you came over here to defend some idiot who you think was in love with you. It’s time to go.

Deacon: You didn’t know her. Not like I did. She was in love with me. This wasn’t something that I– I made up in my head. This wasn’t a lie. You know what? I loved her too.

Finn: Thanks for saying that and for being here. Just… the problem is, is I don’t know what I need. It’s just– I just wish none of this ever happened.

Hope: Well, uh, maybe think of it this way. Even if it didn’t, sheila was still being sheila. She was out there in the dark, in that storm, terrorizing your wife, so realistically, finn, I mean, I don’t know how much of a future relationship was there for you. I think a little too much damage has been done.

Finn: No, I know. I know, and I didn’T… want any of that. I wasn’t hoping for that.

Hope: Look, I get you probably spent most of your life wondering about who your birth mother was. You know, daydreaming about her and… then you got sheila.

[ Finn chuckles wryly ] So, I think maybe you should focus on the blessings that you actually do have in your life. You know, your work, helping others, the friends that care about you, the mother who actually was there for you who did raise you. And not to mention, steffy. Kelly, hayes… your beautiful family.

Finn: Oh, you’re right. You’re absolutely right. And I– I… I don’t know why I’m reacting this way.

Hope: Because you’re human. And sheila was still your mom.

Finn: But she shot me. And she shot my wife. And that is what I should be picturing when I close my eyes. Not sheila’s blood, but my blood and my wife’S. Thank you, hope. Thank you.

Ridge: I can’t believe that idiot came all the way over here to accuse you. Sorry.

Steffy: What if deacon goes to the police? What if he tells them that I wanted sheila dead?

Ridge: We all wanted sheila dead. That’s not news. We wanted that for decades. The police know that. And they’re gonna come and they’re gonna interview you, and we’re gonna have attorneys here and it’s gonna be fine because you’re covered.

Steffy: Yeah, I hope you’re right. I just wish finn were here.

Ridge: I can’t believe he’s not here.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Finn. Deacon was just here. He told me that you went to his apartment. You told him?

Finn: Yeah, I, uh… yeah, I felt the need to… to go there and… you know, where she lived and feel close to her.

Ridge: What? Close to her? What are you talking about?

Steffy: Dad, dad–

Ridge: You need to be here. You need to be here for your wife.

Steffy: Hey, I love you, but I need to talk to finn, okay? Alone.

Ridge: Okay. Hey… sheila is dead. I’m sorry to hurt your feelings. You need to be here. Your wife, your kids, your house, your responsibility.

Steffy: I hate that you’re upset. Your birth mother died tonight. I understand why you’re upset. I’m upset. I took a life tonight. I never wanted this. Finn, I am… I am so sorry. Everything you’re going through right now, everything you’re feeling, just know that I am so, so sorry.

[Bell dings]

Thomas: So, how’d it go? Breaking the news to your dad?

Hope: I, uh, didn’t see him. Actually, by the time I got there, he had already gone. Someone told him.

Thomas: Oh, well, who got to him first?

Hope: Finn.

Thomas: Finn?

Hope: I walked in and he was just sitting on the couch holding a photo of sheila. I just, I don’t know. I think he was trying to wrap his head around it all, or maybe he wanted to be in the house where she last lived.

Thomas: But, I mean, sheila’s not some normal doting mother. She’s a psychopath.

Hope: Well, yeah, I’m– I’m aware, but…

Thomas: But?

Hope: Finn still feels a connection to her.

Thomas: To sheila.

Hope: Come on, thomas, wouldn’t you?

Thomas: Look, I– I feel bad for finn and the dna hand he was dealt, but at some point you have to accept it and move on.

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: Well, hopefully, our little talk helped with that.

Thomas: I’m sure it did.

Hope: Mm. I think I got through to him. Yeah, I… feel bad, but I really tried to drive the point home, you know, get him to realize where he belongs right now.

Thomas: Yeah, with steffy, right? His wife. That’s exactly where he needs to be.

Steffy: Did it help going to deacon’s?

Finn: Uh, I don’t know. Maybe. None of this makes sense, how I’m reacting. It’s just what you… you know, what happened tonight and what you did, it’s– it’s– it’s horrible. It’s surreal.

Steffy: But I want to be able to– to face this with you, because, honestly, I– I don’t think I can, I don’t think I can do this alone.

Finn: Look, you won’t have to, okay? I’m your husband. I’m here with you. And I’m so thankful that you and… that you and the kids are all right.

[ Steffy gasps emotionally ] You know, knowing what you faced tonight, and that you could be terrorized in any way, or traumatized.

Steffy: No, no. We’re gonna survive this. We are, because, finn, we can get through anything together. We can overcome any obstacle, okay?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Thank you for coming home. Oh, god. Oh… oh, I needed this. I just need to feel close to you. Finn?

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know I love you and you know that I, um… I feel about you and you know that I just… you know, I want to get back to our beautiful little life, but… I think, um… I think everything that’s, uh, that’s happened, and just, just kind of be, like being here, and um, I– I think I just maybe need a little more, um… I think I need a little more time, okay? I think I just need some–

Steffy: What?

Finn: Some time. No, it’s just, um… everything that’S… that’s happened, and I know that sheila isn’t– isn’t, um… she– she didn’t raise me, but she is my mother, and I… I– I can’t, I’m sorry, I can’t– steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn. Finn…

Finn: I can’T. I can’T.

Steffy: Finn, what are you doing? Finn! Finn, what are– come on!

Steffy: Finn, I’m so sorry.

Finn: I just– I can’t believe that my mother’s dead and my wife killed her.

Steffy: I didn’t mean to. Sheila gave me no choice. I had to defend myself. If I hadn’t, I’d be dead.

Finn: It’s just… sheila’s blood has always been inside of me and now my birth mother’s blood is on my hand. And yours, steffy.

Hope: I can’t believe this.

Ridge: No, that’s true.

Brooke: Steffy actually killed sheila?

Ridge: She had no choice.

Brooke: My god.

Thomas: It was self-defense.

Carter: Well, how’s steffy?

Ridge: She’s shaken, but she’s not hurt, so good.

Thomas: The kids were out of the house for overnights.

Brooke: Things would’ve been so much worse if kelly and hayes had been there.

Ridge: I didn’t even wanna think about that.

Carter: Hope, you said things between steffy and sheila had been heated up lately. That they had a confrontation.

Ridge: That’s par for the course when sheila’s involved. You’ve been awfully quiet.

Thomas: Hey, steffy had to defend herself.

Ridge: You understand that, right?

Hope: I just– I’m just in shock that, uh, she took her– her, um, husband’s birth mother’s life.

Hope: Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not suggesting that steffy crossed a line. I mean, we all know sheila. How dangerous she can be. And I’m sure that, you know, steffy had to make that choice to defend herself. It was terrifying for her– the wind howling outside, the power being out– and then who breaks in but sheila?

Ridge: Same woman that shot my daughter, left her for dead.

Carter: It was a nightmare.

Brooke: Not only did she shoot steffy, that lunatic shot her own son.

Thomas: And even with all of that, finn’s feelings for sheila still aren’t black and white.

Hope: Well, I– I mean, try to see it from finn’s perspective. He still has to reconcile the fact that his own wife killed his mom.

Finn: I realize the horrible things that sheila has done to you and your family. I mean, she almost killed us, almost destroyed our family. I’m– I’m fully aware, and it is inexcusable. But it doesn’t change the fact that she is my birth mother. She was my birth mother. I mean, she was someone that I… would lose sleep over as a kid. You know, trying to figure out if that’s where I got my smile or– or my drive, and… I can’t tell you how much it– it meant to me when I finally got to meet her and– and know my biology. Even– even after knowing who she really was. But now I’m– I’m never gonna see her again, because you killed her.

Steffy: Finn, I get that this is difficult for you, but sheila broke in here. She lunged at me. She had a crazy look in her eye. The same look that she had when she shot us in the alley. Finn, we have children. What was I supposed to do except defend myself?

Finn: No, I understand that. Okay? But it doesn’t change the fact that my mom died here. Okay, she died in my own home. At the hands of my wife.

[ Sirens wailing ] I can’T. I can’t– I can’t do this.

Steffy: What?

Finn: I can’t– I can’t– I can’t do this with the police.

Steffy: What are you doing? Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

Ridge: I have a real tough time accepting this, um– this deep connection that sheila and finn have.

Hope: Okay, but she is still his birth mother.

Ridge: Yeah, and I get that. She gave him life, and after that, she was nowhere to be found. Li raised him. She– she’s the one that’s a real mother to him.

Hope: Can you really not see how this might be complicated for finn? The fact that his wife killed the woman who gave him life?

Thomas: In self-defense. Okay, but to be fair, we only saw finn’s initial reaction. Right? Now, he’s over there, he’s with his wife, maybe he’s had time to process, maybe he’s had time to hear her side of the story and he can actually come to a place to support her how he’s supposed to.

Ridge: What if he can’t? What if he’s so broken up about this woman dying that he can’t be there for steffy? That he can’t support her? She needs him right now. Police are gonna come back, detectives are gonna… I’m going back over there.

Brooke: I’m sure she’d appreciate all the support she can get.

Carter: I’ll go with you.

Ridge: No, no, I– I got it. I don’t want it to look like we need a lawyer right now. I’ll be back.

Brooke: Honey? You okay? I know it’s a lot to take in.

Hope: I know I’m the only one here defending finn, but he’s not the only one who has complex feelings where sheila’s involved. Despite my objections to their relationship, dad still thought he was in love with her. And so, when he finds out about sheila’s death, I mean, he’s going to be devastated.

Deacon: You know, if you get hungry, we’ve got the best pizza in town. I’ve got a fantastic risotto tonight with some nice shrimp. Excuse me.

Baker: It’s so hard to believe. After all these years, history with your family, that we’re even having this conversation.

Steffy: Yeah.

Baker: According to the police report, sheila carter was killed here, in your home.

Steffy: Yeah, in self-defense.

Baker: Wanna tell me how it happened?

Steffy: Yeah, I was– um, I was alone. It was dark and I, uh, I heard a noise.

Baker: What kind of noise?

Steffy: Like a– like a banging. Sounded deliberate.

[ Distant banging ]

Baker: You mean as if someone were trying to scare you or gain entrance?

Steffy: I– I don’t know. I just– I kept hearing it, so I wanted to see if anyone was there.

Baker: And was there anybody?

Steffy: No. No one. I kept hearing the noise, but I just assumed it was the wind.

Baker: That had to be unnerving.

Steffy: It was, yeah. But when I couldn’t see anything, I just continued to make dinner. And then, uh, that’s when the– uh, the power went out. And I started looking for some candles, and then I saw a shadow above me. And I turned around and sheila was right there. She was right– she was right here. She started coming close to me, and, I– I don’t know, she went in her pocket. It seemed like she was about to take out a gun to shoot me.

Baker: Well, according to the report, sheila was unarmed. There was no gun, no weapon.

Steffy: But I– I could have swore she– she had a gun. I mean, she shot me before. Of course I thought she was gonna shoot me again. I told her to stay away, but she just kept coming. So I grabbed the knife. And that’s when she lunged at me.

No! And I stopped her.

Baker: With the knife?

Steffy: Yes.

Baker: So, you admit that you stabbed sheila carter?

Steffy: In self-defense, yes.

Deacon: Finn. What are you doing here? Are you all right?

Finn: Cops are at my house.

Deacon: Cops? Something happen with steffy and the kids?

Finn: Sheila went there.

Deacon: No. No, she promised me that she’d stay away from you and your family. No, man, we’re good.

Finn: Sheila’s not coming back. Not ever.

[Coughing]

Hope: Look, I know that no one gets my dad’s relationship with sheila. I certainly did not. But he still genuinely cared about her. And I know he’s– he’s going to be hit really hard when he hears the news.

Brooke: Well, at least he’s free. Look, I know that sounds bad, but I’m not sorry that sheila is no longer a threat. She was a monster.

Carter: Yeah, I don’t know how your dad did it, hope. But somehow he saw something redeemable in her.

Thomas: Maybe. I do know one other good thing. Your dad. He doesn’t have to keep his distance from you or the kids anymore.

Brooke: He’s gonna need you, now more than ever.

Hope: And I want to be there for him. Starting tonight.

Brooke: Where are you going?

Hope: I think I need to be the one to tell my dad the news.

Thomas: I’ll go with you.

Hope: No, no, no. Thank you, but I think this needs to be between my dad and me.

Thomas: Okay.

Baker: You say that sheila lunged at you?

Steffy: Yes.

Baker: But you never saw a weapon in her hand.

Ridge: Don’t answer that.

Steffy: Dad, it’s fine. I’m not guilty of anything. I was just trying to protect myself.

Baker: I’m just trying to get the complete story.

Ridge: All right. Psycho broke into her house. I don’t know. Tried to harm you. Maybe tried to harm the kids. Attacked steffy. Steffy put her down. That’s it. Case closed.

Baker: That’s not really for you to say, is it?

Ridge: Maybe not, but this is. She’s tired. It’s been a day. Traumatized. There’s blood on the floor. We’re done here.

Baker: For now. But you know I will be asking more questions, right?

Steffy: Fine.

Ridge: Not without an attorney. Hey. Sorry you have to go through this. Where’s finn?

Steffy: I don’t know. He left.

Deacon: What do you mean, sheila’s not coming back?

Finn: Something happened.

Deacon: Yeah, I’m starting to get that. What? You mentioned the cops. Did steffy have her arrested?

Finn: No. Steffy didn’t have her arrested.

Deacon: Finn, what the hell is going on with you? You’re acting weird. Look, if something happened with sheila, you need to tell me now.

Finn: Sheila broke into our house. Threatened steffy.

Deacon: No.

Finn: Steffy grabbed a kitchen knife to protect herself. Sheila lunged at steffy and in self-defense… steffy stabbed sheila. She killed her.

Finn: I’m sorry. I know that you’re one of the few people who has feelings for my mother. I didn’t wanna have to tell you.

Deacon: Sheila’s dead? How?

Finn: She broke in. She lunged at–

Deacon: I heard that! I heard that part. Steffy killed her?

Finn: In self-defense. Look, I’m sorry that she’s gone, too, okay? She was my mother.

Thomas: I’m glad dad went over to steffy’S. She shouldn’t have to talk to the police right now.

Carter: I wish he would’ve let me come along. Offer counsel.

Brooke: Well, steffy has nothing to hide. And having a lawyer there might make the detectives doubt her story.

Thomas: I can’t believe we’re talking about any of this. I mean, steffy’s just at home, by herself, minding her own business, trying to cook dinner, and someone breaks into the house, attacks her, she has to defend herself, she has to kill someone. I– I can’t imagine what she’s feeling right now.

Hope: Dad?

Finn: Uh, deacon’s not here. He, um– he– he went somewhere.

Hope: Finn, why– why aren’t you home?

Finn: I– I couldn’t stay.

Hope: I heard about your mom, that she’s gone. I actually– I came here to tell my dad. I– I can’t imagine he’s going to take the news well, so.

Finn: Yeah, that’s– that’s why he left. I told him. Maybe I shouldn’t have. He seems pretty shaken up. There’s a lot of that going on right now.

Hope: Finn, I’m– I’m sorry.

Finn: I shouldn’t be this upset. After everything that she’s done to me. I mean, she shot me, she… shot my wife, she held me hostage, and even to the bitter end, sheila was being sheila. She was… she broke into my house, she threatened my wife. I should hate her. But why don’t I hate her? You know, I know the party line. Sheila isn’t worthy of love. I mean, I don’t know, is that what this is? This is just some awful sense of loss and like a missed opportunity? I don’t think I loved her. I mean, how could I? Right? She was an animal that got what she deserved. I mean, that’s what ridge said. Ridge thinks I should feel that way. She was my mom. And now I’m not gonna get to see her. I don’t get to see her again.

Hope: Finn, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Ridge: You need your husband. He should be here. Where the hell is finn?

Thomas: Finn, you can’t blame any of us for being relieved.

Steffy: Finn, it was self-defense. She came at me, I grabbed a knife to protect myself. I didn’t want to stab her, but I had no choice.

Ridge: We all would’ve done exactly the same thing. I know she gave birth to you, but she also terrorized this family for decades. She came after you, she left you for dead in an alleyway. She tried to kill your wife. And I’m sorry I called her an animal in front of you, but that’s who she was to me. She put this on herself.

Finn: Well, that animal was my mother.

Brooke: I just can’t believe it.

Carter: Okay, the press doesn’t have it yet, but we need to be prepared. I’ll text ridge about looping in katie.

Brooke: Sheila’s really dead?

Carter: Yes.

Hope: And we’re sure that this isn’t another one of her tricks?

Carter: My contact at the police department said the coroner retrieved her body.

Hope: But– but where? I mean, what– what happened?Pp

Carter: I don’t know, but it was from steffy and finn’s house.

Brooke: What?

Hope: Are they okay? Are the kids okay?

Carter: No other injuries reported according to the officers at the scene.

Brooke: Carter, we need more information. If sheila’s body was found at steffy’s, something horrible must have happened.

Hope: The police have said that sheila was dead before.

Carter: That is true, but this time they pronounced it. Her body was picked up at the scene.

Brooke: Somebody has to tell ridge.

Carter: I did. I was just with him. Thomas, too.

Hope: Okay, where– where are they now? I mean, do they have more details?

Carter: They will soon. When they heard what happened, they rushed over to check on steffy.

Finn: How can you be so callous? My mother just died. She died right here.

Ridge: Bad news, awful. Could have been worse. Could have been your wife. Could have been one of your kids.

Thomas: Yeah, thank god the kids weren’t here.

Steffy: Sheila forced her way into our home, finn. She tried to attack me. I– I grabbed a knife. I reacted.

Ridge: It’s okay. It’s okay now.

Finn: No, it’s not. It’s not okay.

Thomas: Finn, you’re in shock.

Ridge: Steffy told us what happened. What’s done is done. I’m not being insensitive, but thomas and i we’re here because we want to take care of steffy. We’re gonna all sit down and figure out what’s next.

Finn: You just remember that someone died, okay? And it was my mother. It was my mother. One breath…

Brooke: Anything?

Carter: Not yet.

Hope: I mean, there’s nothing on socials yet. Would your friend on the force know anything more?

Carter: If he got an update, he’d gave me a call.

Brooke: All he told you was that sheila died?

Carter: Well, actually, he said she was killed.

Brooke: Killed?

Hope: Okay, so, I mean… maybe there is a chance that this wasn’t an accident?

Carter: Whatever happened, sheila didn’t survive.

Hope: This does not feel real. This does not feel real.

Carter: It was an emergency call out to steffy’s house. One fatality, no other injuries. The police and the coroner arrived, and the person that was killed was identified as sheila carter.

Brooke: Identified by whom?

Carter: I don’t know. But if finn, steffy, the kids were hurt, we’d be at the hospital right now, not here waiting for news.

Hope: I just– I still can’t believe that they recovered sheila’s body at the cliff house. I mean, I’m sorry, but this is– this is, like, all too weird for me. I mean, after all the years of just strife that sheila has put this family through, all of the pain, all of the hurt. And then to find out about her connection to finn, and then to find out about her involvement with my dad.

Carter: Yeah, as long as she was out there, no one was safe.

Brooke: I have to say, the idea of sheila being gone, it’s– it’s an unbelievable relief.

Hope: I have to agree.

Carter: It’s gonna take some time to process. Like you said, it’s hard to believe.

Brooke: She has fooled us before.

Carter: I don’t think we have to worry about that anymore.

Brooke: Why haven’t we heard anything? When did thomas and ridge leave the office?

Carter: Pretty much the minute I told them where sheila was found. They couldn’t get to that house fast enough.

Steffy: Finn, I love you so much. I know this is difficult for you. I’m trying to be understanding, but we’re all really freaked out right now.

Thomas: We’re not trying to ignore your loss, finn. We’re here for steffy. Make sure that she’s okay after what she went through. And to make sure that the cops don’t try and put something on her, like a crime, when in reality, it was self-defense.

Ridge: Your wife was attacked. The attacker is dead. Steffy’s fine, I thank god for that.

Thomas: So do I.

Finn: I never want anything bad to happen to you.

Ridge: Good. She’s the most important person in your life.

Finn: And I am. I’m– I’m beyond grateful that you’re okay, and that… it’s hard for me to see any of this, you know? I mean, it was never all right, but you know what you don’t understand? Is that animal wasn’t nothing. All right? She gave me life.

Ridge: We understand that. She gave you life, and then she tried to take it away.

Finn: Something was wrong. At the end, I was– I was at the hospital, and I wanted to come home, and I just– I was waiting on a call. I should have been here because I could’ve done something. I could’ve done something because I’m a doctor. We save people. We– we don’t end lives. We’re not– we’re not killers.

Ridge: And steffy’s not a killer either. Some lunatic broke into her house. She did the only thing she could’ve done. She did what she did so she wouldn’t end up on the ground the way she did before. And you want to defend your mother? What, do you think this is tragic? This is a miracle. Your wife is not harmed. Your kids are not harmed. And this woman came over here to hurt people. That’s the only reason she came over here. Look at me! Hey! This is your wife. You need to be strong for her. She went through something very traumatic.

Finn: Yeah, she killed my mom. She killed her.

Steffy: I think that– I think you and thomas should, uh, you guys should go. I just want some time alone with– with finn, okay?

Ridge: Yeah, the police is gonna come. They’re gonna ask you questions. I need to be here for that.

Steffy: I’ll– I’ll call you.

Ridge: Okay. You did the right thing. You did the only thing you could have done. I’m gonna make sure that everyone understands that. I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Ridge: We’ll pick up the kids, don’t worry about that.

Thomas: I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Thomas: If you need anything, I’ll be here.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: You feel so far away right now. Maybe my dad is right. If we just– if we talk to each other, if we support each other. Look, I– I understand what happened. It’s horrible, but we can get through it. We can get through anything. (Vo) the shape that stole your heart

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Hope: Is it ridge?

Brooke: “Me and thomas are on the way to the office.” They’ll be here pretty soon.

Hope: Okay. Did they see steffy or finn?

Brooke: He said he’ll explain everything when he gets here.

Hope: Okay, but– but the kids, are they safe? Are they…

Carter: Ridge wouldn’t leave them if they still needed him.

Hope: Okay, and I know that thomas wouldn’t leave his sister’s side, but…

Brooke: What was sheila doing at that house?

Carter: Sheila’s obsessed. She wants a– hm. She wanted a place in finn’s life to get to hayes, and she always blamed steffy for standing in the way.

Hope: Well, I’m sure she was furious after the little confrontation that they had.

Carter: What confrontation?

Brooke: Kelly went to il giardino with a friend, and that friend’s mom and sheila was there. Sheila spoke to kelly and steffy found out.

Carter: And you think that’s what this is about?

Hope: I mean, steffy did go over there and things got physical.

Carter: Wait, sheila went after steffy?

Hope: Steffy actually punched sheila in the face.

Ridge: Carter, good. You’re still here.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: Gotta make some phone calls.

Brooke: What happened?

Carter: Are steffy and finn okay?

Hope: Are the children all right?

Thomas: Yeah, everybody’s alright.

Brooke: Is it true? What carter heard? That sheila is dead?

Steffy: Finn. Finn! I can see how upset you are. I am too. What happened– it was– it was horrific. It was horrific. I don’t know. I don’t know how sheila got in here and maybe she is the reason the power went out. I thought it was the wind. I thought it was the storm. And then, I heard a noise. And I turned around, and sheila was right there. She was right there. And she was coming towards me. I had to defend myself. I didn’t want to die. So yes, I grabbed a knife. I did. And I told her to stop. I told her to get away. God, I didn’t– I didn’t want to be taken away from you, kelly, and hayes again. I wasn’t gonna let sheila do that, so yes, finn, yes. I did it. I did what I had to do to protect myself. I stabbed sheila.

Finn: Yeah, you killed my mother. Breathing claritin clear is like…

Brooke: So is it really true?

Hope: Sheila’s gone?

Brooke: She’s not up to one of her tricks.

Ridge: The witch is dead.

Hope: Okay, so how? What happened?

Brooke: And what was she doing? Looking for finn? Or trying to get to hayes?

Hope: Well, I mean, steffy was at the house. I saw finn earlier at the hospital, and he told me he was worried about her and was rushing home.

Ridge: Well, he’s there now or we wouldn’t have left.

Hope: Okay, so I know we shouldn’t celebrate things like this, but I– if sheila is really gone. I mean, all that– all that fear, all– all of that worry, I mean, is it– is it finally over?

Ridge: You know, even dead, she causes problems for our family.

Brooke: What do you mean, causes problems? Ridge?

Ridge: There’s no easy way to say this, but I have to say it because we all have to handle it. It was justified, and sheila had it coming.

Thomas: Steffy was home. Alone.

Ridge: The power went out, and sheila broke into the house.

Brooke: Oh, no.

Thomas: Sheila threatened and attacked steffy.

Hope: Wait, was steffy able to call the police?

Ridge: The police got there after.

Carter: After what?

Ridge: After steffy killed sheila.

Brooke: What?

Thomas: Steffy was able to grab a knife. She had to do it.

Ridge: It was sheila or her.

Hope: Well, does– does finn know? I mean, does finn know that steffy killed his birth mom?

Steffy: Tell me you understand why. I acted on instinct. I was terrified, finn. I mean, I still am.

Finn: No, look, I am, too. And the– the thought of something happening to you or something happened to the kids–

Steffy: I didn’t know if sheila was going to shoot me. And I– I refused to let her try to destroy our family again.

Finn: So, you plunged a knife into her?

Steffy: No, finn, she lunged at me. How many times do I have to tell you that I reacted? I tried to defend myself. I never wanted this. But I needed to protect myself. I’m so sorry.

Finn: You’re sorry?

Steffy: Yes.

Finn: You’re sorry for killing my mom?

Steffy: What are you doing? Oh, finn, I’m sorry.

Finn: My mom’s blood is on my hand. And yours, steffy.

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: You sure you’re okay? I– I cannot believe sheila broke in here. Why? I mean, I can, so that what? So did they arrest her? Is that why the cops were driving off? Do they have sheila?

Steffy: Get out of my house!

Sheila: No!

[ Steffy gasps ]

Steffy: No.

Finn: She get– did she get away?

Steffy: No.

Finn: What do you mean? What do you mean, no? If they– if they didn’t arrest her– steffy, where’s sheila?

Steffy: She’s gone, finn. Sheila’s dead.

Brooke: Oh, what a crazy night. I was worried the power might go out.

Hope: I know. The wind is howling out there right now. Uh, speaking of, actually finn said that the power did go out at their house. Oh, I, uh, had to stop by the hospital pharmacy to pick up douglas’s allergy drops and I ran into him there.

Brooke: Okay. How is finn?

Hope: He’s good. He’s good. It was nice to catch up for a little bit. Uh… he is worried about steffy.

Thomas: I added some darting to the bodice.

Ridge: Wow, it’s beautiful. You’re on a roll.

Thomas: Thanks. I’m feeling good. I’m feeling really motivated.

Ridge: Why do you think that is?

Thomas: I think it’s ’cause hope, you know? I’m in love.

Ridge: Love can do that to you.

Thomas: It can. I think we’re starting our own family. It feels really good. I’m happy.

Ridge: Well, if you’re happy, I’m happy. In the end, it’s all about me, right?

Thomas: Right?

Carter: Thank god you guys are still here. I just got a text from my contact at the police department.

Ridge: Police department?

Carter: It’s about sheila.

Brooke: Why is finn worried about steffy?

Hope: Well, I guess it has something to do with sheila.

Brooke: What has she done now?

Hope: Apparently, she and steffy had a confrontation.

Brooke: Again? Steffy better be careful.

Hope: That’s what I said.

Brooke: Sheila is extremely dangerous and steffy knows that. She should stay away from her.

Hope: Well, but how realistic is that when sheila is finn’s birth mother?

Thomas: What about sheila?

Ridge: Tell me she hasn’t hurt somebody else.

Carter: Not that I’m aware of.

Thomas: The cops pick her up for something?

Carter: You can say that. Sheila’s dead.

Finn: Dead? Sheila’s dead. What– what do you mean, sheila’s dead? No, there’s– there’s no way. What?

Steffy: She is finn.

Finn: You’re serious. You’re– are you sure?

Steffy: Yes.

Finn: Uh, wait a second. This doesn’t make any sense. She– she was here and she broke in and now what, she’s dead? What did the… was it the police? Did they, um, did they shoot her?

Steffy: She wasn’t shot, finn.

Finn: Well, then how did it– how did it happen?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know. It just all happened so fast. What did?

Steffy: I had no choice. It was me. I did it. I killed sheila. Kerendia presents…

Brooke: It is true that finn and sheila will always share some kind of connection.

Hope: Well, sheila gave birth to him. So it’s natural that a mother would feel drawn to her child.

Brooke: Yeah, but we’re not talking about any normal person here. We’re talking about sheila carter.

Hope: Mom, I know. And believe me. I mean I– I have zero sympathy for sheila, but it is finn that I, um… I do feel for him.

Brooke: It must be hard being the son of a monster.

Hope: Mom, just when things seem to be going somewhat well, you know steffy gets in another fight with her.

Brooke: I don’t blame her for marching over there and trying to set her straight. She told her to stay away from her children. And what does sheila do? She strikes up a conversation with kelly at il giardino.

Hope: Steffy actually said that she wouldn’t feel safe until sheila was dead. I could tell that it rattled finn a bit.

Brooke: Well, yeah. I mean, what does sheila expect? She did shoot them in cold blood. So, I’m sure steffy is terrified that something like that’s gonna happen again.

Hope: Look, mom, I’m no fan of sheila carter, but I do empathize with finn and his feelings for his own birth mother.

Thomas: Sheila’s dead?

Ridge: Stop it, we just went through this with the whole fake–

Carter: This is coming in right now. My– my contact is saying that the coroner retrieved her body.

Ridge: Where?

Carter: From steffy and finn’s house.

Finn: Wait, no, you don’t mean that. Wait, steffy. Come on. There’S… you’re… oh, my gosh, this is unreal. Okay, so, um– you’re saying that sheila’s dead and you’re responsible?

Steffy: I am.

Finn: Steffy, there’s no– like you couldn’t do something like that.

Steffy: I did.

Finn: I, uh– I– I need to know everything. I need– I need to know exactly what happened

Steffy: Sheila broke in here. She broke in and I– I told her to get out. But she kept coming closer and closer, so I– I grabbed a knife. She lunged at me. I mean I– I had no choice. I had to protect myself.

Finn: So what, like you had to protect yourself how? Like? What did you do, steffy

Steffy: I had no choice but to kill her. It was either her or me. I had no time to think. I just– I– I reacted. I– I had to survive

Finn: So you– you– you stabbed her– you stabbed her?

At dot’s an ordinary pretzel

just isn’t enough.

Ridge: Wait. Sheila died at steffy’s house?

Carter: According to the coroner’s report.

Ridge: Was steffy there?

Carter: I don’t have the details. But he says no one else was injured.

Thomas: Landline isn’t working.

Carter: There was a blackout in malibu.

Ridge: Steffy, it’s your dad. Call me when you can. I wanna make sure you’re okay.

Carter: I’m sure they’re fine.

Ridge: They better be fine.

Carter: The police were just there, something happened we’d know by now.

Thomas: Okay, are they saying how she died?

Carter: No. Yeah, actually. She was killed.

Ridge: She was killed? They used killed? That’s what they said. What’s going on?

Carter: I don’t know.

Thomas: Okay, doesn’t matter. Let’s go.

Ridge: Call us if you hear anything.

Carter: I will.

Brooke: Steffy is not a violent person, so sheila must have provoked her.

Hope: Well, yes, actually finn said that sheila shoved her first and then steffy punched back.

Brooke: It’s unfortunate when arguments become physical.

Hope: Well, what if steffy was coming from a protective place? Even though sheila does work at il giardino, she still shouldn’t be in such close proximity to steffy’s children.

Brooke: I agree. I would have done anything to protect you when you were little and I still would.

Hope: I know you would. And that is what makes us moms so incredible. We would fight to the death if we had to.

Brooke: Well, hopefully it never comes to that.

Hope: Yeah. I don’t know, mom. I just– I feel bad for finn. I mean out of all the moms in the world, he got sheila carter.

Brooke: Well, li is his real mother. She’s the one who raised him.

Hope: And instilled all those incredible values and qualities that we so admire in finn.

Brooke: Sheila is his mother in blood only. The best thing she ever did was to let him go when he was a baby.

Hope: But, did she ever really let him go? I mean, mom, let’s– let’s try to think about it from finn’s perspective. I mean, this is obviously a very complicated thing for him. He doesn’t condone what sheila has done in the past, but at the same time, that is his birth mother. Are we being sensitive to that? Is steffy taking that into consideration before she goes off and does something like that? I don’t know. I just, on some level, I have to imagine that finn feels some sort of connection to sheila.

Finn: So you– you– you stabbed her, you– you stabbed sheila?

Steffy: She was coming at me, finn. I couldn’t– I couldn’t stop. I had to defend myself.

[ Door opens ]

Ridge: Steffy, finn, are you all right?

Steffy: Dad, what are you guys doing here?

Thomas: Hey. We– we heard about sheila.

Ridge: Where are the kids?

Steffy: The kids are fine. They’re not here. They’re safe.

Thomas: Is it true? Is she dead?

Ridge: They said she died here.

Steffy: She broke in.

Ridge: What happened?

Steffy: She broke in. She– she tried to– she tried to attack me. She had something in her– in her pocket, so I grabbed a knife. It was self-defense. I did it in self-defense. Oh… stuffed up again?

Hope: Look, in no way am i excusing sheila for her crime. I mean, not even close.

Brooke: I understand that, sweetie. I mean she’s made all of our lives hell at one point or another.

Hope: Exactly, and she’s never really even faced the consequences for it. She just keeps getting away with it and I’m sure that has to be really frustrating for steffy, but still, at the same time, I…

Brooke: You’re worried about finn.

Hope: Well, I mean, doesn’t everyone want to feel supported by their partner and respected, heard, understood like you’re on the same team and I just don’t know how much it helps finn if steffy is potentially antagonizing sheila.

Brooke: Well, I have to say, steffy did act recklessly by going over and confronting sheila at deacon’S.

Hope: Yes, that’s my point. And finn said, I mean up until sheila was testing the boundaries with kelly at il giardino, that she was keeping her distance. And she actually was respecting the boundaries. But now, I mean, gloves are off. The wound is open. And I just– I don’t know. I just– I– I feel for finn. He’s– he’s a good guy and he can’t help that his mother is sheila carter.

Brooke: That’s something steffy and finn are gonna have to live with for a very long time.

Carter: Good, security said you’re still here.

Brooke: What is it?

Carter: I have shocking news. Sheila’s dead.

Ridge: You must have been terrified.

Thomas: I’m so glad you’re safe. I’m so glad the kids weren’t here.

Steffy: Oh, thank god the kids weren’t here.

Ridge: Well, they’re safe. You’re safe. Everything’s gonna be fine.

Thomas: Yeah, is there anything I can do? Do you want me to call somebody?

Steffy: No, I’m just glad that you’re here.

Ridge: Wanna talk about it? You ready to talk about it?

Steffy: I mean, I’m still in shock. I heard some loud noises. There was a storm and then power went out and I turned around and there was sheila. She was right there and I told her to… get out. You stay away from me. Stay the hell away from me. She kept getting closer. I’ll do it. And closer… she lunged at me.

Sheila: No!

Steffy: And I just reacted.

Thomas: Steff, you had no choice. I’m so sorry. You’ve been going through this.

Ridge: The idea of losing you, I– I– I couldn’t handle that. I’m– I’m so glad you’re okay.

Steffy: Yeah.

Sheila: I love you. I’ve always loved you and I always will.

Thomas: So, what happens now? Talk to the police?

Steffy: The police questioned me. I told them everything. I– I said that I was defending myself. But they’re gonna bring detectives over and– and question me.

Sheila: I know you don’t feel that way, sweetheart, so please, just– just tell her to leave me alone. I just want to live my life. I am not– I am not a threat to you.

Steffy: I was protecting my family. Like I said, you stay away from my family. Yeah, but what if they blame me? What if I’m charged?

Ridge: Then we’ll get carter to get the best attorneys we can. Don’t worry about it now.

Steffy: No, dad, I thought she was gonna shoot me.

Thomas: Right. I thought there was something in her pocket and she lunged at me. I mean, if I didn’t react, I could be dead right now.

Thomas: Exactly. You defended yourself.

Sheila: I’m your mother. I’m your mother. You have made me so proud. I love you so much, baby. I love you more than you could possibly imagine. I’m so happy, my baby boy. I love you.

Steffy: But what if they don’t see it that way?

Ridge: They will, you just said, it’s self-defense.

Sheila: I love you so much.

Ridge: She broke into your house. That animal got what she deserved.

Finn: Animal? That animal was my mother. Sheila was my mother.

[ Ominous music playing]

Steffy: An intruder. She broke into my home. I– I grabbed a knife in self-defense, and when she lunged at me, I– I stabbed her. I think she could be dead. Could you please hurry?

Hope: Oh, there it is.

Finn: Oh, hey. What are you doing?

Hope: I just– I was in the pharmacy. I realized I left my cell phone. It was on silent. Sorry for interrupting again.

Finn: No, you’re not I’m just– I’m trying to wrap up some things and get home to my wife.

Hope: Oh. Is there something else going on?

Finn: I’m worried about steffy.

Deacon: Great choice. Victoria, we’re gonna have a lemon meringue here, a chocolate mousse here. Okay? Thanks. All right, tell me, liam, that this is not the best pizza that you’ve ever had.

Liam: It’s pretty close.

Deacon: Pretty close? Where have you ever had pizza this good?

Liam: Puglia, italy. Hope and my honeymoon. Little pizzeria right outside the hotel.

Deacon: Italy does not count. Stateside, best pizza?

Liam: Okay, stateside?

Deacon: Mm-hmm

Liam: Stateside. You know what else I like?

Deacon: Probably a tofu cannoli.

Liam: Besides the tofu cannoli and the pizza, I like that I don’t have to order takeout ’cause sheila’s not working.

Deacon: All right, I think we’ve established that sheila’s not your favorite person.

Liam: I don’t think she’s anybody’s favorite person, but for one obvious exception.

Deacon: Me.

Liam: Yeah, you. Why you want anything to do with that woman is totally–

Deacon: Okay, can we not do this again?

Liam: Look, you’re concerned and I’m concerned and for good reason. Not only has she been disappearing lately, but you don’t know where she is right now.

Deacon: She’ll turn up.

Liam: It’s not– it’s not whether she’ll turn up that concerns me. It’s where.

Deacon: You’re afraid she’s stalking finn and steffy.

Liam: Yeah, that– that’s exactly what I’m afraid of, and if that’s true, god knows what could happen.

Finn: I– I spoke to steffy after you left. I guess there’s a windstorm out there. All the power’s out at the house.

Hope: Oh.

Liam: Thankfully, the kids aren’t there.

Hope: Well, steffy’s capable. I’m sure she’s okay.

Finn: Yeah, I’m sure she is, but I’ll feel better when I see her for myself.

Hope: It’s sweet that you’re concerned.

Finn: Of course. Steffy’s everything to me.

Medic 1: She’s got a pulse but it’s faint. Barely breathing.

Medic 2: Stab wound. Upper extremity. She’s still bleeding. Apply more pressure.

Medic 1: Keep packing that wound.

Cop 1: What have we got?

Medic 1: Female, mid-50s. Stab wound.

Cop 2: This where you found her?

Medic 1: Yeah.

Cop 1: Ma’am, this your house?

Steffy: Yes. I’m steffy forrester. She broke into my home. She threatened me and I acted in self-defense.

Cop 1: You know this woman?

Steffy: Yes. Her name is sheila. Sheila carter. When enamel is gone, you cannot get it back.

Deacon: You know, if you could just cut sheila a little bit of slack.

Liam: What, I don’t even know what that means. What are you asking me to do?

Deacon: It means not thinking everything she does is nefarious.

Liam: Deacon, you– by your own admission, she’s been sneaking out going on these mysterious outings and not telling you where she’s been or what– like if that’s not a red flag, what is?

Deacon: But see, it’s a red flag for you ’cause you think everything she does is, you know, criminal.

Liam: Yeah. Because she’s given me good reason to. And she’s given steffy good reason to as well.

Deacon: All right, if you’re about to remind me what happened in the alley behind the restaurant–

Liam: Oh, well, I wasn’t going to, but let me remind you what happened in the alley behind the restaurant. Sheila shot finn. And then she turned the gun on steffy and she shot steffy. And she left her for dead. And steffy’s just supposed to like what? Embrace that and allow sheila back into her life? You know we’re talking about my daughter too here, right? Kelly almost grew up without a mother. I’m just supposed to forgive and forget that. I can’t do it.

Deacon: Kelly doesn’t know anything about that.

Liam: Yes. Yes, and hopefully she’ll never have to because we’re gonna get sheila out of our lives once and for all.

Deacon: I don’t think sheila’s going anywhere.

Liam: I’m pretty sure you don’t want her to.

Deacon: Is that so hard to understand, given the way I feel about her?

Liam: No. What’s hard to understand is that you would choose those feelings for sheila over the relationship you have with your daughter.

Deacon: I’m not doing that.

Liam: Really? You’re not doing that? Have you talked to hope lately? Because I bet you she kinda feels like you are.

Deacon: I don’t want to hurt my daughter. That’s the last thing I want to do, but I–

Liam: I know. I know what’s going on. You’re stuck. You’re stuck with sheila. You can’t pry yourself away from her no matter what it’s doing to your relationship.

Deacon: That’s not true. That’s not true at all. Listen, I do not want to lose my connection with my daughter or my grandkids. I love all of them.

Liam: I know you do. The problem is loving sheila, too.

Hope: Oof, no wonder you’re eager to get home.

Finn: Yeah. I hate thinking of her alone ’cause the winds howling outside it’s dark.

Hope: Well, hopefully the power will be restored soon.

Finn: And I’d leave right now, but I’m waiting on some important test results for my patients.

Hope: Hm. How long does something like that take?

Finn: Well, last I spoke to the lab, they said within the next 15 minutes. That was a half an hour ago.

Hope: Well, then, hopefully, they will be here any minute.

Finn: Are you– are you always relentlessly this optimistic?

Hope: Hm. It’s gross, right?

Finn: No, it’s anything but. It’s– it’s refreshing.

Hope: Well, you know what else is refreshing? We just had a conversation, and we did not talk about sheila once.

Finn: Yeah. I’m sorry I brought it up to you when you were here earlier, I just–

Hope: No, don’t be. You’re worried about steffy and things deteriorating even further between the two of them.

Finn: It got physical and that scares me.

Hope: Well, yeah. Knowing what sheila’s capable of. I mean, I know she’s your birth mom, but…

Finn: No, but ever since we found out she is, steffy’s had to put up with so much, and I love that she continues to fight for us, but hasn’t just thrown her hands in the air and called it quits.

Hope: She never would. She loves you too much.

Finn: I love her. And I feel what she feels. Right now, I feel like my wife needs me.

Medic 2: Pupils are fixed, and dilated.

Cop 1: So, you knew the intruder? She wasn’t a stranger?

Steffy: No, her name is sheila carter. She has a long list of crimes, especially against me and my family.

Medic 1: Patient is asystole on the monitor.

Medic 2: She’s bled out. There’s nothing more we can do.

Steffy: Wait, did you say she’s not gonna make it?

Medic 1: Afraid not, ma’am.

Steffy: What?

Medic 2: Time of death, 8:07.

Steffy: Death? Oh, my god. Sheila’s dead. I know what it’s like

Liam: Sheila carter. How does someone love… sheila carter?

Deacon: I know. One of life’s mysteries, huh?

Liam: Yeah, to me, to everyone, especially hope.

Deacon: You know, I tried to explain it to her. H– how do you explain something to somebody when you don’t really understand it yourself?

Liam: You don’t think that tells you something?

Deacon: Tells me it’s complicated. I know how everybody sees her, you know, like some kind of leper to be avoided.

Liam: Whoa. You don’t see her that way?

Deacon: You know, sometimes I wish I did because it’d be a hell of a lot easier. Especially with my relationship with my daughter. You know, I’ve tried to distance myself from her. I have. It’s like every single time I do, I just– I get drawn back in.

Liam: Well, stop that. What’s– what is it? What’s drawing you back in then?

Deacon: Our similarities for one thing. You know, two loners, screw-ups, criminals. Two people trying to scratch some kind of respectability out of life. Trying to just build something together that’s good and decent and normal despite our checkered past.

Liam: Hey, deacon. You– you got to give yourself more credit. You’re painting this picture like you and sheila are the same. You’re not the same. You can’t compare your petty screw-ups to her heinous, heinous crimes.

Deacon: Well, you got that right. She plays in a league by herself, that’s for sure. I don’t know, man, we– we understand each other. You know, we– we accept each other, flaws and all.

Liam: Maybe that would make sense if you didn’t have anybody else in your life who cared about you. But that’s not true. Hope cares about you. She cares about you deeply, and for you to– to let this thing with sheila jeopardize that relationship more than it already has, you– you’re not… you gotta play it smart. You kick sheila to the curb and you save your relationship with your daughter because you know it and I know it. The only way any of us are gonna have any peace ever again is if sheila is out of our lives once and for all.

Finn: Well, the lab results look excellent. It’s exactly what we hoped for. Let’s put them back to the prior dosage and you can tell mr. Limbrecht the good news. Okay, thank you so much, max. Bye-bye.

Hope: You’re a good man, finn. Always taking care of other people.

Finn: Thanks.

Hope: Probably explains how you were able to open yourself up to sheila, crazy birth mom and all. Sorry, if that was overstepping.

Finn: No. My loyalty will always be with steffy. Not that I wish any ill will to sheila, just as long as she stays out of our lives.

Hope: Except that steffy did say that she would only really feel safe if sheila was dead.

Finn: Listen, um, I need to get home, okay? And check on steffy. I’m sure she’s fine. She can take care of herself, but if she needs me, I want to be there for her.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Cop 1: Got the paramedics’ statements. Coroner’s on his way to collect the body.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Steffy: Oh, my gosh, sheila’s dead. Oh, sheila’s dead. Oh, my god.

Cop 1: You said she broke in.

Steffy: Yes. You have to believe me. I acted in self-defense. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

she wished there was a way to

make it last longer.

[ Breathing echoes ]

Cop 1: Let’s go through this again, make sure I have it right.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Like I said, the power– the power went out, and I saw a shadow on the wall, and I turned around and– and sheila was there. I– I– I told her I told her to get out and she kept getting closer and closer to me, so I– I– I grabbed– I grabbed a knife. I mean, I was trying to protect myself. She lunged at me. I– I defended myself. I mean this woman has terrorized my family for years. She– she shot me and my husband not that long ago.

Cop 1: You’re saying the deceased tried to kill both of you?

Steffy: She shot her own son.

Cop 2: Wait, your husband’s this woman’s son?

Steffy: She’s his birth mother. She’s a horrible, evil person who should be in prison.

Cop 1: I think we’ll end it here for tonight.

Cop 2: Should we call someone for you?

Steffy: No, my husband will be here soon.

Cop 1: One more thing. Don’t leave town. I’m certain detectives from the department will follow up with further questions.

Liam: Thank you, guys, so much. It was great seeing you again.

Deacon: Okay. You know, there’s a place for a tip right down there.

Liam: All right. Let me make it up to you by giving you a bigger one. Sheila’s only gonna drag you down. She’s gonna force you to forfeit your future with hope and the kids, and that reason alone should make that woman dead to you.

Deacon: Liam, look, it’s not that I don’t hear you. I mean, maybe sheila should be out of my life, and maybe it doesn’t make sense that she isn’T. But I love her, man. And I’m gonna have a long, happy life with her.

Sheila: I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made terrible mistakes. But do I deserve to die? She wants your mother dead. Not behind bars, but dead!

Finn: Steffy? Steffy, I just saw the police driving away. Are you okay? What happened? Honey? Honey, what happened? Why were the police here? Sweetheart, what’s going on? Honey, talk to me. What happened?

Steffy: It was dark. Someone came in. Sheila. You– you stay away from me. You stay the hell away from me. I told you never come back here. Get out. Get out of my house! I’ll do it. I’ll do it! No!

[ Steffy gasps ] It was sheila.

Finn: It was– it was sheila? Steffy, where’s sheila now? Steffy? Steffy, where’s sheila?

[ House creaking ]

[ Suspenseful music ]

Sheila: Tonight, you die, steffy.

Deacon: Have you seen sheila?

Waitress: Like recently?

Deacon: Yeah.

Waitress: No, sorry.

Deacon: Where the hell are you?

Sheila: She attacked me!

Steffy: Do not listen to her.

Sheila: I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made terrible mistakes. But do I deserve to die? Wants me gone. She wants your mother dead. Not behind bars, but dead!

Hope: Is it bad? Whatever you’re working on? Because the expression on your face is…

Finn: Oh, my god. Come in.

Hope: Now a good time to talk? Because it seems like there’s something weighing on you.

Finn: Um, yeah. My wife.

Deacon: Hey.

Liam: Hi.

Deacon: You, uh, here for a drink?

Liam: Uh, takeout. Although, I guess I gotta few minutes ’til it’s ready.

Deacon: Good, take a seat. Drink’s on me.

Liam: Thank you.

Deacon: I just, uh, want you to know there’s no hard feelings, liam. You know, about you and hope. I really do wish you the best.

Liam: Ah, uh, I appreciate that.

Deacon: Good. You wanna stay here and eat?

Liam: Uh, you know, I would. Uh, not a big fan of, uh, dining in here lately. Uh, just because sheila’s your star waitress, you know?

Deacon: Well, you’re not gonna have to worry about that because she’s not here tonight.

Liam: Oh. Weekly psychopath’s anonymous meeting?

Deacon: Actually, I don’t know where she is.

Hope: Something’s going on with steffy. Look, I– I don’t wanna get in the middle, but if, I don’t know, if there’s anything I can do to help.

Finn: Thanks, that’s– that’s– that’s really sweet, but you’re at the hospital. I should be the one helping you. Is everything okay?

Hope: Oh, yeah, I was just, uh, on my way to the hospital pharmacy to pick up some allergy drops for douglas, and I was walking by your door, and you seemed a little intense, so…

Finn: Huh.

Hope: What’s going on? You said it had to do with steffy?

Finn: Yeah, with steffy. And sheila.

[ Rattling ]

[ Wind whistling ] ( )

Hope: Steffy punched sheila.

Finn: Not unprovoked. Sheila shoved steffy first.

Hope: Okay, but sheila shouldn’t be anywhere near the kids.

Finn: I agree. She’s too dangerous. But.

Hope: But?

Finn: I don’t like that steffy confronted sheila.

Hope: Why, because she’s your birth mother, and you don’t feel like it’s steffy’s place?

Finn: It has nothing to do with that. It’s about wanting to know that steffy is safe. That she’s being smart. And getting in sheila’s face and punching her, I mean, how do you think that’s gonna end? I don’t want steffy saying or doing anything to incite her. And look, I am not defending her. She had no right to interact with kelly at all, period. But like it or not, sheila’s been living a pretty peaceful, quiet life. She’s working as a waitress. She’s been staying away. She hasn’t tried to inject herself into my world. It’s– it’s been pretty good. Good considering sheila’s past. So, why poke the bear?

Hope: So, you’re afraid that steffy has overstepped and potentially awoken the sleeping sociopath that is sheila carter?

Liam: Okay. Whoa! I mean, there… no wonder you don’t have any idea where sheila is. She’s probably off somewhere licking her wounds.

Deacon: I never should’ve said a word.

Liam: No, don’t say, no, you absolutely should have. And I’m grateful that you did, because this involves my daughter, deacon. Kelly could’ve gotten hurt.

Deacon: Kelly was never in any danger and steffy had no business getting in sheila’s face like that.

Liam: She had no business? No business? How many times has steffy told sheila, stay away from me, stay away from my family?

Deacon: That’s exactly what she’s doing. She’s just– you know, she’s focusing on other things. She’s focusing on me and our relationship, on this restaurant, her work here. And most importantly, she’s focusing on bettering herself. Look, I don’t expect you to believe it.

Liam: I don’T. I don’t believe it. Nobody believes it. Nobody.

Deacon: It doesn’t matter. You know, I’ve had a front-row seat to watch her progress.

Liam: Okay, all right, how– you– you can buy into the whole sheila’s changed narrative all you want. You just don’t get to expect anybody else to.

Deacon: I don’t expect it, liam, but it’s still true.

Liam: What if you’re wrong? What if you’re sacrificing your relationship with your daughter for a woman who probably doesn’t give a crap about you?

Deacon: That’s not my intention.

Liam: Do you really think that you’re not pushing her away right now?

Deacon: Liam, I love hope and my grandkids.

Liam: Prove it. Do something about it. Kick sheila to the curb, because you’re standing here, and you’re telling me that you don’t know where sheila is five minutes after telling me that she’s new and improved. Obviously, the fact that you don’t know where she is concerns you as much as it concerns me. It’s because you’re worried that she might be reverting back to her old, evil ways. Known for following your dreams.

Liam: I mean, it does worry you, doesn’t it? Not knowing where sheila is right now?

Deacon: What do you want me to say, liam? I mean, she’s a free woman. She can come and go as she pleases. All right, look, uh, the truth is that she’s been slipping away a lot lately.

Liam: I’m sorry, slipping? Slipping away?

Deacon: It used to be that, you know, she would… she’d hang out with me upstairs when it wasn’t her shift, you know? And now it’s like, I go to my apartment, I don’t know if she’s gonna be there or not.

Liam: Okay, do you ask her where she’s been?

Deacon: It’s a bit mysterious.

Liam: Oh, god, it’s not mysterious. She’s probably over at steffy’s house stalking them.

Deacon: No, no, don’t– don’t think that, all right? She has sworn that she wouldn’t bother either one of them.

Liam: Deacon, today. What about today?

Deacon: That was completely different. Kelly came into her space. Steffy, too. And besides, I asked her about her little disappearing acts. And she claims that she has been meeting someone from her past.

Liam: Oh, yeah, no, yeah, no, that tracks. I’m sure plenty of people from sheila’s past have just been clamoring to reconnect.

Deacon: That’s a point well taken.

Liam: The only– the only thing about sheila’s past that she gives a damn about is the child that she gave up. She’s obsessed. Obsessed with being in finn and hayes’ life and with getting steffy out of it.

Hope: So, that’s basically what you’re saying, right? I mean, if steffy provoked sheila, then… you still think she’s a threat.

Finn: I mean, I wish I didn’t, but yeah. I’m not just gonna take her word for it that she’s somehow reformed.

Hope: You shouldn’T. I mean, I don’t buy it. I don’t think she’s capable. She should still be in prison.

Finn: That’s exactly where she should be. And I know how much that angers steffy. Not just for what she’s done to us, but for everything that has happened to her over the years. I mean, my god, losing your mother for most of your childhood because of sheila? That’s traumatic enough. But then to go through what she did in that alley? Seeing me shot, thinking that I’m dead, and then have sheila turn the gun on her? I mean, I’m sure steffy has ptsd from that experience.

Hope: Anyone would. I mean, that’s not something you just get over. But I don’t know, it just seems like there’s something specific about it that’s bothering you.

Finn: Ah, it’s just something else that she said and I’m just, I’m just struggling to understand it.

Hope: Okay. Try me. What did she say?

Finn: Steffy said that the only way that she will ever truly feel free of sheila is if she were dead.

Steffy: [ Whispers ] Sheila? Sheila, is that you? Bombas makes absurdly comfortable underwear.

Finn: Human life is valuable. It’s important. Even for someone as horrible as sheila. Maybe… maybe there is some potential. Not that I want her anywhere around me, but if she spent some time in a prison and maybe had time to repent, I don’t know. But seeing it from steffy’s pspective, yeah, I can see how she thinks that that’s the best solution. And what sheila has done to her is unimaginable.

Hope: You’re a good husband. The fact that you are trying to see it from steffy’s perspective, but at the same time, I can also tell that it… it did disturb you. Steffy saying that about the woman who brought you into this world, I mean, that still hurts to hear. That she wants her dead.

Deacon: I specifically told sheila to stay away from steffy and finn, and I believe her. I believe she heard me. Besides, why would she jeopardize the life that she’s building?

Liam: The life with you?

Deacon: Yeah.

Liam: Deacon, brother. Whatever it is that you’ve got going on with sheila, you and I both know she wouldn’t hesitate for a second to kick it to the curb if it meant having a relationship with her son. That is the single most important thing in her whole life. And guess who she thinks is standing in the way of that right now? Steffy.

[ Cell phone rings ]

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Hey, I’m, uh, I’m just checking in. I hope you’re relaxing after everything that went down today. Got a warm bath running, about to open a bottle of wine.

Steffy: Quite the opposite, actually. Nothing relaxing about this night.

Finn: What do you mean?

Steffy: The wind’s really picked up after you left.

Finn: Oh, yeah?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, it’s pretty crazy outside. The power went out.

Finn: Oh, what, so you’re in the dark? Did you light some candles?

Steffy: I’m– I’m looking for them right now. I mean, thank god the kids aren’t here. It’s pretty creepy not having any power.

Finn: Nah, I bet.

Steffy: Will you please come home soon? I– I really, really need you right now.

Finn: I won’t be long. I’ll be holding you in my arms.

Steffy: Yeah, sounds like heaven. I love you.

Finn: Love you too.

Steffy: Bye. Sheila. I know it’s you. Get out. You stay– you stay away from me. You stay the hell away from me. I told you never come back here. Get out! Get out of my house! I’ll do it. I’ll do it!

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Finn, don’t listen to sheila. She’s trying to play you.

Sheila: No, I am telling the truth. I’m not a danger to you or your family.

Steffy: You’re a liar.

Sheila: What, I’m the threat? She said it to me. She looked me right in the face and said she wished your mother was dead. Finn, son, you know how wrong that is. I have changed.

Finn: Steffy’s right, sheila. You need to stay away from us and our family.

Sheila: So I– I live here, with deacon, and I’m minding my own business, and it’s okay for steffy to come over and punch me in the face whenever she wants and I’m the problem?

Finn: You shoved her first. Okay, you know what, no we’re not– we’re not doing this.

Steffy: No, you’re– you’re never gonna come near me or my family again. Ever.

Finn: Let’s get out of here.

[ Sheila grunting ]

Hope: Hm. Nope, I– I– I still can’t get enough of you.

Thomas: Oh, good, because i can’t get enough of you either.

[ Cell phone rings ]

Thomas: Do you need to check that?

Hope: Yeah, I should, um. Sorry, it’s just an old reminder.

Thomas: An old reminder that makes you sad?

Hope: It’s just an alarm I used to set for myself to remind me to help my dad close up the restaurant. Used to be our bonding time thing that we would do, but those days are long gone now that sheila is lurking around.

Thomas: Hope, I’m sorry you’re missing father-daughter time because of her.

Hope: Me too, but that’s the sad reality. You know, as long as my dad is involved with a psycho, he has to keep his distance from the kids and me.

Deacon: I’m guessing we’re not having sandwiches for dinner. You okay?

Sheila: I have every right to be upset. Steffy comes barging into our home, our home. She verbally attacks me, she punches me in the face, again. Nobody treats me like that and gets away with it.

Steffy: So what? So, we need to pick up the kids?

Finn: No, uh, lucy invited kelly over for dinner and hayes is with grandma li, so…

Steffy: I’m so glad they’re not here.

Finn: Because of your confrontation with sheila.

Steffy: I’m sick and tired of constantly having to look over my shoulder for that sociopath. God, I just– I wish she wasn’t in our lives.

Finn: Is it true what she said? You told sheila you want her dead?

A year after a heart attack,

Hope: I had kind of given up on ever really having a real connection with my father. He wasn’t around much when i was growing up and when he was, it was just… awkward. I mean, I guess I felt some sort of loyalty to my mom and their situation was complicated enough as it is and so I never really truly opened the door to him. But this time, it just– it felt different. It felt like we truly connected and I felt like I found a piece of me that had always been missing.

Thomas: It must have been a wonderful feeling.

Hope: It was. My dad was serious about making a good life for himself, about starting fresh and mending the relationships he had broken and–

Thomas: And you were first on that list.

Hope: And I cherished every moment that we shared together. There were a lot of good moments. A lot of laughter, actually. I know you don’t know my dad that well, but he is a genuinely funny guy. And it just really felt like a blessing to have that father figure in my life, again. But then, sheila came along and yeah, apparently she comes first. Before me, before the grandkids and–

Thomas: I’m sorry, hope.

Hope: Me too. But, um, as long as my dad is involved with sheila, I don’t want to put the kids at risk. And beth and douglas, they have to come first.

Thomas: They do. And deacon’s gonna have to understand that. I just wish I understood him and what he is thinking. Because I don’T. And it just feels like I’m losing my dad all over again.

Deacon: Babe, just breathe, all right? Just relax. Take it down a notch.

Sheila: You know what? I have every right to be upset. I have tried so hard to lead just a simple, good life. I wake up in the morning, I go to work, I come home from work, and I keep a low profile.

Deacon: You have been awesome. You’ve been a model citizen.

Sheila: Yeah, well what a lot of good that’s doing. Because no one wants to give me credit for doing what’s right. No, that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that– that I’m here. That– that– that I’m not bothering anyone. Steffy can just barge through that door, do everything she can to keep me away from my son and grandson. I am so done with her. I’m done with her.

Deacon: Okay, sheila, take it easy.

Sheila: Oh, god. Who does she think she is? She– she comes here. She– she belittles me. She strikes me. And I’m just supposed to take it?

Deacon: You have every reason to be angry. She had no business coming at you like that. Listen, don’t make her right. You know why? She’s finn’s wife and he will take her side every time. Think. Be smart. Keep your eye on the prize.

Sheila: I’m trying. I am using all of my strength and self-restraint to not remind that bitch of who she’s dealing with.

Finn: Was sheila lying or did you really tell her that you want her dead?

Steffy: Can you really blame me after all the horrible things she has done to our family? To us? Year after year, it’s like the plague.

Finn: Honey, I understand why you would feel that way.

Steffy: Good. Because I’m not sorry. Sheila should be rotting in a prison cell for the rest of her life. And even then, I don’t even know if I would feel fully free of her. Only if she was dead and buried. And yeah, that’s exactly what I told her. Finn, I understand on some level, this is difficult for you. I get that. Sheila is your birth mother. But evil doesn’t change, okay? It just is. So as long as sheila carter is walking and breathing on this earth, none of us are safe. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Thomas: You know, I’m not the biggest deacon sharpe fan, but one thing I do know about him is he loves you.

Hope: I would be so happy if it were any other woman. In los angeles. In the world. But it’s– it’s just, my dad deserves happiness, he deserves love, but this is sheila carter we are talking about. A woman with a record. A woman who is dangerous. And I– I–

Thomas: I know. I get it. I do. And I don’t want sheila anywhere near the kids. Or you. Or my sister. Or her kids. I’m just trying to put some perspective on what deacon’s going through. That’s it.

Hope: Hmm… you mean aside from being under sheila’s spell? I don’t know. I– I– I do feel like I was starting to get through to him, though. I could tell he was listening. I could tell that he was taking it in and maybe even making a little bit of progress. But then sheila waltzed in and started in on her usual, “oh, I’ve changed. And I’m not a danger to anyone. I’m not a threat to anyone.” And my dad, he– he buys it.

Thomas: He buys it because he wants to buy it.

Hope: I don’t want him to buy it. And I don’t want to put the kids in that woman’s path. And so, as long as my dad is involved with her, I mean, he can’t be around us.

Deacon: Sheila, I haven’t seen you like this in a long time. Do I need to be worried here?

Sheila: What, I don’t have the right to be upset? Big, bad sheila, she’s not allowed to feel human emotions like everybody else. No, steffy can just barge right in here and slander me and physically assault me, and I– I what?. I’d just– what do I do? Turn the cheek and say, “hey, you missed a spot?”

Deacon: Listen, I get it. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to have to prove yourself worthy every single day. But the reality is, it is what it is and you have been doing so well. Just don’t give the haters a reason to fear you. That’s all I’m saying.

Sheila: I know. And you’re right. It has not been easy. And it doesn’t matter how good I am or how low a profile I keep, steffy is– is determined to ruin what life I do have. Right, she is never gonna forget the past. She– she won’t move on.

Deacon: I know, just don’t forg the endgame here. All right? Steffy is finn’s wife. If you want to have a relationship–

Sheila: I would already have a relationship with finn if it weren’t for her. Steffy is what’s standing between me and my family. And that’s a position that nobody should ever want to be in.

Finn: I– I gotta get back to the hospital. I still have rounds. Are you gonna– are you gonna be okay here? Alone?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be fine.

Finn: You sure? ‘Cause look, I– I understand why you want sheila out of our lives, but steffy wishing her dead, that’S…

Steffy: Sheila’s a monster, finn. She shot us. She shot her own son. She left us both to die. And honestly, I think she would do it again if she felt cornered. But I’m not gonna let that happen. Sheila is not gonna harm my family.

Finn: I understand, okay? I get that you’re still traumatized from the shooting. Right, I am too. But look, we’re here, honey. We’re alive. We’re together. Gosh, I– I love you more than anything.

Steffy: I love you too.

Finn: I promise, I will keep you and the kids safe from sheila. Okay? Yeah. ( )

Deacon: I’m kind of in the middle of something right now. Could you take care of it? All right, okay, okay, okay. Okay, I’ll be down in a second. Uh, I have to go down to the restaurant and put a fire out. Not a literal one. Hey, I need you to promise that you’re not gonna do anything to lose your composure and wind up doing something we’re all gonna regret.

Sheila: Not to worry.

Deacon: Yeah… that was a little too easy. Sheila promise me you’re gonna do what finn and steffy want.

Sheila: I promise. I’m not gonna go anywhere near them. I’m not gonna go anywhere near the kids. I’m not gonna go anywhere near the house.

Deacon: Good. I’ll be back soon.

[ Sheila grunting ]

Thomas: You are being so strong. You took a stand with your father about sheila and you’re sticking to it.

Hope: Well, what other choice do I have? I have to do what I can to protect the kids, but it basically is, um, shutting my dad out of my life. Severing the connection that I have yearned for for so long. I mean, just when we were finally getting close. And my dad could rectify all of this if he wanted to. He could– he could choose me for once in his life.

Thomas: If it’s any consolation, I choose you. And I always will. And I’m never gonna let anyone hurt you. Including sheila.

Hope: We can’t underestimate her. We can’t believe a word she says because she is still the same cold, calculating killer that she has always been and she is a danger to us all.

Thomas: I’m sorry.

Deacon: All right, crisis averted. Sheila? Sheila? Oh, please god, no.

[ Rattling ]

[ Wind howling ]

[ Wood creaking ]

[ Wind howling ]

Finn: I get that you’re still traumatized from the shooting.

Steffy: You’re crazy. Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make that call.

Sheila: Steffy forrester. Tonight, you die.

Steffy: You stay away from my children, sheila, or the next time it’ll be more than a punch. If you see them, you do not approach them. You leave them alone.

Sheila: Kelly came to where I work.

Steffy: Kelly is off limits. We all are. We don’t exist to you. You mean nothing to us.

Hollis: Hey, boss. Is that the new ‘cab?

Deacon: Yes, it is. It was not easy to get.

Hollis: Good stuff. I’ll get it in the system.

Deacon: Great, um– was sheila in the kitchen?

Hollis: Uh, I didn’t see her back there.

Deacon: Tanya called in sick. Sheila was supposed to fill in for her.

Hollis: Yeah, I mean, she was here earlier, but I don’t know where she went.

Liam: I’m saying if the interview went really well, then let’s follow up on that, because if their ceo is on the cover, forrester is more likely to buy ad space. Do you understand? That’s– okay. Thank you. Thank you, jordan.

Bill: Heard you were in the building.

Liam: Uh, hi. What are you, uh, what are you– what are you– what are you doing here?

Bill: Had lunch with katie. We had some things to discuss regarding will.

Liam: Oh, okay.

Bill: You have plans with steffy?

Liam: What, um– uh, no, well, I– I saw her at her place this morning. So, not really.

Bill: Yet, here you are, staring at her picture.

Liam: This is, no– I– no– I was on the phone, I was on the phone, right before, I was on the phone with jordan, talking about forrester.

Bill: Why– why– why are you stuttering?

Liam: I’m not– I’m not,

Bill: This is, no, no, no. You see, I know that look. Because it’s the look that I get when I’m thinking about money, you, you are thinking about steffy. Can’t hide your love for her, can you?

Liam: I do love steffy, I’ve made no effort to hide that, thank you, and no, it’s not gonna change.

Bill: But something has. You said you saw steffy. What’s going on?

Liam: Just, I’m worried about her.

Bill: Let me guess. Sheila?

Liam: Yeah, sheila. Sheila and her obsession with finn.

[ Cell phone rings ]

Finn: Hey, lucy.

Lucy: Oh, finn, I’m so glad you picked up.

Finn: Everything okay?

Lucy: I took the kids to get some pizza at il giardino.

Finn: Where’s kelly? Is she okay?

Lucy: She’s fine, she’s with me at the house. Steffy found out, she had me leave immediately. I– I hope I didn’t do anything wrong.

Finn: No need to apologize. Uh, thank you for taking care of kelly.

Lucy: Steffy seemed upset. Like she was heading to il giardino. She’s not answering now.

Finn: Hey, lucy, is it okay if kelly stays with you a little bit longer?

Lucy: Of course.

Finn: Steffy or I will be in touch with you soon.

Sheila: Who do you think you are?

Steffy: I’m the woman standing in the way between you and my family.

Sheila: And what the hell are you talking about? You come into my home, you attack me, and I’m the danger?

Steffy: You need to be taught a lesson.

Sheila: Oh, if anyone needs to be taught a lesson, sweetheart, it’s you. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Bill: Nobody’s underestimating sheila as a threat.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause she’s not in prison right now. I mean, in fact, she hasn’t suffered a single consequence for anything that she’s done. I mean, look at everything that she’s done. Look at all the trauma she caused for steffy and her family. Where’s the justice there?

Bill: In her pocket. With that slime ball judge who let her walk?

Liam: See, this is– this is what I’m saying. It’s so backwards. Here is steffy, who has to walk around, paranoid, watching her back all the time and sheila gets to just walk free wherever she wants without a care in the damn world.

Bill: I wish she’d just go somewhere. Anywhere but here.

Liam: Oh, yeah, and leave her precious son, finn? That’s– that’s not gonna happen, right? Sheila’s gonna stay here. She’s gonna stay here in L.A. Forever. Until she convinces everyone that– that she’s changed.

Bill: I don’t blame you for being worried, liam. And I don’t blame you for wanting to help. You’re a spencer. Spencer’s protect the people they love.

Liam: Yeah, I know. It’s not just steffy, though.

Bill: I know, I know. It’s my granddaughter as well.

Liam: I’m always gonna worry about kelly, even if I’m not with her. And this is what drives me insane, because right now, kelly could be at the house, right? And sheila could be just lurking outside, looking through the window, right at her.

Deacon: Hollis, you said you saw sheila earlier today.

Hollis: Yeah, I called in perry to cover, and I guess when he got here, sheila left.

Deacon: Did you see her take off?

Hollis: No. Why, did you need her to stick around?

Deacon: She’s just kind of hard to pin down lately, and frankly, it makes me nervous when she just disappears.

Finn: Hey, deacon. Where’s steffy?

Deacon: Uh, I don’t know. I haven’t seen her. What’s going on?

Finn: Look, kelly was here with a friend and her mom. Steffy found out, told the mom to get the kids out of here, but now i can’t– I can’t reach her.

Deacon: Wait a sec. Is kelly missing?

Finn: No, kelly’s fine, but it sounds like steffy rushed over here.

Deacon: I haven’t seen her.

Finn: What about sheila?

Deacon: I’m kind of trying to find her too.

Sheila: Why are you here, steffy? I didn’t come to your home. I didn’t come to bother you.

Steffy: Your existence bothers me.

Sheila: Well, you’re not making this easy, are you? Now, you come here, you threaten me, you punch me. How many times do I have to tell you I am not a threat to you or your family?

Steffy: I’m never gonna believe that. I know how obsessed you are with finn.

Sheila: Finn is my son, and I love him. I have other children. I have deacon. I have my job here at il giardino, and I am just trying to lead a good, simple life, and you just won’t let that happen.

Steffy: Stop acting like a victim.

Sheila: I was working. What happened was innocent. I– I did not lure kelly here. And was I happy to see her? Yes. What I can’t be happy to see my son’s stepchild?

Steffy: No. No, you can’T.

Sheila: She wasn’t afraid of me.

Steffy: Neither am I. That’s what I want you to understand. I’m not intimidated or fooled. I know exactly who you are. Underneath all the excuses is just a sick, demented criminal who should never be allowed near people again.

Life doesn’t stop for a cold.

Bill: Steffy’s not gonna let sheila anywhere near her kids. You know that.

Liam: Well, sheila might have other ideas.

Bill: She better think again. Steffy is not going to play when it comes to kelly and hayes.

Liam: But that’s– see, but that’s the difference. I trust steffy to protect them, but this is sheila carter we’re talking about, right? This is not a rational actor. There’s no telling what she’s gonna do next or how she’s gonna react to being shut out.

Bill: She’s not gonna like it.

Liam: She’s not gonna like it. In fact, it could provoke her.

Bill: I’ve been keeping an eye on sheila. And if she steps out of line, she’s gonna regret it.

Liam: Right. But that’s the problem. Because even you, even you, you can’t have eyes on her all the time. Steffy doesn’t want to live with guards around the clock. I don’t want to just sit around waiting for something to happen, right? I wanna do everything in my power to protect steffy at all costs. But there’s only so much I can do… if steffy is still married to finn.

Finn: Have you been here all day?

Deacon: I had a meeting earlier. I mean, I wasn’t gone long.

Waiter: Excuse me. Hollis said you were looking for sheila.

Deacon: Yeah. You know where she is?

Waiter: Pretty sure she went back to your apartment.

Deacon: Okay.

Waiter: At least, that’s where I told the other lady to find her.

Finn: Wait, what lady?

Deacon: Wait, someone was looking for sheila?

Waiter: Yeah, good-looking brunette. One of the hostess’ said it was steffy forrester.

Sheila: I am so sick of you interfering in my life. Telling me what I deserve, where I belong.

Steffy: If you don’t like it, sheila, you can go. Leave L.A.

Sheila: No, because L.A. Is my home. I have a life here. I have deacon. I have my family.

Steffy: My family. Not yours. You’re not one of us, sheila. You never will be.

Sheila: And you won’t even let me. You won’t even let me dream that I could have that kind of happiness. You want to see me suffer.

Steffy: Like I did? Mourning my husband? Watching the life drain out of him in the alley?

Sheila: Then, why was he there, steffy? You keep blaming me, but you were the one attacking me. You came after me, just like you’re doing now.

Steffy: You think I want to be here, sheila? Really? This makes me sick. Seeing you lounging around, reading your magazines and doing your nails. You should be rotting in a prison cell ’til you die.

Sheila: You’d like that, wouldn’t you? God, that’s what you want. You want to see me dead, don’t you?

Steffy: It’s the only way my family will be free of you. When you’re dead. And buried. And we’re finally rid of you. So yeah, sheila. I’m looking forward to that. In fact, I hope that day comes very, very soon. – Bye, bye cough. – Later chest congestion.

Liam: Steffy may not wanna make the connection, but we know. We know what sheila’s after here.

Bill: A relationship with her son, whether finn wants one or not.

Liam: That’s exactly right. And when finn turns her away, sheila blames steffy. And that puts steffy more at risk. And I– I can’t stand for that. I mean, do you– when you talk to steffy. You can just– you can feel the stress, the toll it’s taking on her. I mean, yeah, she’s tough. Yeah, she’s strong. But she’s still– she’s still allowed to be afraid. Do you know how many times she texts me when I’m out with kelly just to check in, just to make sure we’re okay, just to make sure that nothing bad has happened yet? The woman can’t relax. Not even for a second. Doesn’t matter if she’s home or she’s out or kelly’s with her or with me. She can’t let her guard down for a second. And she deserves to have that. Right? I want steffy to be happy. And she can’t as long as sheila is in the picture. And I just– I love steffy so much. And I– I wish– I– I wish I could protect her from all of this.

Bill: I’m proud of you, liam. Steffy’s lucky to have you.

Liam: She’ll have me for life.

[ Cell phone dings ]

Bill: Uh, I’ve got to get to a meeting.

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: I’ll see you back at the office?

Liam: I’ll see you back at the office, yeah. Thanks, dad. After everything that’s happened, I just– I just want you to know I’m here for you whenever, wherever. I’m here for you. Steffy, hey, steffy. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Steffy: You rescued me in more than one way today. You know, I– I just– I thought you were incredible before, but you know what? I wonder if people will talk about us that way. Our undeniable connection.

Liam: Yeah, they will. We made it, steffy. We made it. I’m not giving up on you, steffy.

Sheila: You want me dead.

Steffy: I want to be free of you.

Sheila: What and rob my son from any opportunity to know me?

Steffy: You put a bullet in him, sheila. You terrorized my family, my grandparents, my parents. And now my children.

Sheila: I want you to accept me. That’s all I wanted.

Steffy: I’m never gonna accept you.

Sheila: Okay, well, fine. That’s your choice. But I’m not leaving los angeles. No, because my son is here and I’m always gonna be a part of his life.

Steffy: No, you’re not. He doesn’t wanna know you. He wishes you never existed.

Sheila: No, that is you. That is you coming between the two of us.

Steffy: I’m keeping my family safe.

Sheila: By what, by poisoning finn against me and trying to get your kids to fear me?

Steffy: You stay away from us.

Sheila: I am not a monster. I am a human being and I have feelings

Deacon: Sheila, no! Come on. What the hell? Sheila, come here. Oh, my god, sheila!

Sheila: She came here. She attacked me.

Steffy: You attacked me!

Sheila: She attacked me.

Finn: No, no, no.

Steffy: Oh, god. You. You.

Sheila: No, I didn’t do anything. I said hello.

Steffy: You stay away from kelly. Stay away from her.

Sheila: I would never do anything to hurt my granddaughter.

Steffy: She’s not your granddaughter!

Sheila: Look at her! I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, you’re seeing this. She’s overreacting. I didn’t do this. She came here. She was banging on the door, threatening me.

Steffy: I was protecting my family.

Sheila: No!

Steffy: Like I said, you stay away from my family.

Sheila: I have been. I’ve been– ever since that day on the beach when I saved kelly. I followed your wishes. What else can I do? I saved kelly.

Steffy: Do not listen to her.

Sheila: Okay, okay. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made terrible mistakes. But do I deserve to die? Because that’s what she said. She says she wants me gone. She wants your mother dead. Not behind bars, but dead. I know you don’t feel that way. I know you don’t feel that way, sweetheart. Please just– just tell her to leave me alone. Just leave me alone. I just want to live my life. I am not– I am not a threat to you. I’m not a threat to steffy. I’m not a threat to you. And I would never hurt those babies. Would you just tell her? Please just– just tell her. Tell her, finn!

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Thank you so much for taking them, lucy. My turn next time.

Lucy: It’s my pleasure. We’re gonna have a great time, aren’t we guys?

Kids: Yeah!

Steffy: All right, give me a hug, sweetie. You be careful, okay? And listen to danny’s mommy.

Liam: Attention, everyone. Where is my daughter? Any daughter will do. This one. I like this one the best.

Kelly: We’re getting pizza.

Liam: You are? Are you getting pizza in the park? Is it the park? Are you gonna tell me every delicious detail? Toppings, cheese, crust? Do you eat the crust? No crust? Fill me in later, okay?

Lucy: Okay, come on, guys. Let’s go.

Danny: Oh, my gosh.

Steffy: I love you. Have fun. Bye, thank you again.

Steffy: I– I’m sorry. I know that, uh– that kelly was gonna stay here a little earlier. It’s just, lucy got here–

Liam: No, no, honestly, it’s okay ’cause she’s gonna go and she’s gonna have fun. Like, actual fun.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah.

Liam: How are you?

Steffy: I’m always anxious when I’m not around hayes or kelly.

Liam: Yeah, I know. Because of sheila.

Deacon: You know, I bet if you went to a nail salon, they’d give you a discount.

Sheila: Ha ha ha. Aren’t you clever?

Deacon: I know this is probably the point where I should be saying I’m sorry, but instead I’ve got to ask you for a favor. Can you fill in for someone downstairs?

Sheila: And ruin my pedicure?

Deacon: One of the employees called in sick.

Sheila: I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.

Zende: We could be so good together, luna.

Luna: I have a boyfriend, zende.

Zende: I know. And I know you feel bad about us. Don’T. I believe that there are no mistakes in life. We are in each other’s lives for a reason. What happened between us is not something for you to be ashamed of. Put all that guilt aside. Seriously, luna. I am crazy about you. Give us a chance. Leave rj.

Luna: Look, you’re– you’re a great guy, zende. And I’m really flattered, but that night, I didn’t know what I was doing. You know, with my mom’s mints mixed with the champagne, it made me, like, hallucinate. I mean, I thought you were rj.

[ Phone rings ]

Luna: That’s rj’s ringtone.

Luna: Hi.

Rj: Hey. You got my text? I’m at home. I really want to see you.

Luna: Me too, um… I’ll be right over, bye.

Zende: Maybe it, um, was a stretch asking you to leave rj, but I needed you to know how I feel.

Luna: And, look, I– I appreciate it. You know, you’re a gorgeous, super talented, thoughtful guy.

Zende: I’m just not the guy for you. At least not right now. It’s okay. Do you, um, plan on telling rj what happened? Your mom insists not to say a word. If you want to maintain the life that you’ve built here in L.A. And at forrester, listen to your mom. Don’t say a word. Keep our secret forever.

Deacon: Baby, I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Sheila: You said some not very kind things to me.

Deacon: I was scared. I’m scared of losing hope and my grandkids. Look, you want a relationship with finn and his family, right?

Sheila: More than anything.

Deacon: Okay, then you should understand how I’m feeling.

Sheila: Yeah. I get it. But don’t take me for granted, deacon.

Deacon: How could I ever?

Sheila: Just… too soon.

Deacon: Okay. I’m sorry.

Steffy: I’m– I’m not gonna let her control my life. But I do feel sheila’s energy around me. And I want kelly and hayes to live a normal life. I want them to go on play dates. But I’m gonna be a mess until kelly gets home.

Liam: Yeah, well, it’s gotta be exhausting looking over your shoulder all the time.

Steffy: It is.

Liam: Steffy, the truth is, as long as finn’s in your life, sheila’s gonna be too. I recommend la roche-posay lipikar body cream.

Rj: Hi.

Luna: Hey.

Rj: Thanks for coming over. I, uh, do you want anything? I got you your favorite kombucha earlier.

Luna: Uh, no, thanks. I’m okay.

Rj: Look, um, I know that you just haven’t really been feeling like yourself lately. I just, I want to make sure. It’s nothing that I’ve done, right?

Luna: No, no, rj. You didn’t do anything wrong. I just hope that, you know, if something is ever bothering you, that you feel comfortable enough to tell me. And that I’m here. Whatever you need. And, you know, whatever it is that’s been bothering you, maybe today just try to let it go.

Luna: Okay.

Steffy: Why are we even living this way? You wouldn’t have to worry about sheila if it wasn’t for me.

Liam: For you? If it wasn’t for finn. For finn.

Steffy: I’m being very careful, keeping sheila away from kelly and hayes.

Liam: Well, I– I know. I trust you. But, look– just– look, it’s obviously taking a toll. You can’t even talk about sheila without getting all jumpy.

Steffy: Well, she’s a monster. And I’m never gonna forgive her for what she did to finn and me.

Sheila: I said drop it.

Steffy: Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make that call.

Steffy: I despise her. And I want her to pay for her crimes.

Liam: Yeah, wouldn’t that be nice?

Steffy: I want her to suffer. I want her to suffer the way she made finn and me suffer. If it were up to me, sheila would be gone. She’d be dead.

Deacon: Keeping my eye on you, sheila.

Sheila: Oh, give me a break, would you? It’s my day off. You asked me to take the shift.

Deacon: Hey, I’m paying you, aren’t I? Don’t go getting any bright ideas either. Yeah, that’s right. I know all about your little disappearing act.

Sheila: So? I have a life. Don’t get paranoid.

Deacon: I just hope you’re staying out of trouble.

Sheila: Are you jealous?

Deacon: Should I be?

Sheila: You have nothing to worry about because I only have eyes for you. I love you. Somebody from my past just came in town.

Deacon: Do I even want to know?

Sheila: I told you, you have nothing to worry about.

Deacon: Good, because I got a meeting to go to. Behave yourself.

Sheila: Well, if I don’t, are you gonna spank me?

Deacon: Again.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: Hi, welcome to il giardino.

Lucy: Thank you. Table for three?

Sheila: Absolutely. Kelly, do you remember me? Breathing claritin clear is like…

Luna: I love being with you. And being here.

Rj: You know, it already feels like such a special place and I practically just moved in.

Luna: It’s the best move you ever made.

Rj: Yeah, second best. You know, and we’re just getting started because it’s winter right now. Can you imagine, just imagine, close your eyes, imagine this place in the summer. Okay, we’re gonna have– there’s gonna be– we’re gonna have bonfires out there. We’re gonna have beach parties. Maybe one or two sunsets, just you and me.

Luna: Yeah, that sounds amazing. You’re amazing, rj. I mean, you’re– you’re the kindest person I’ve ever met. And I love what we have so much. I– I never want it to end. I don’t ever want to do anything to hurt you or– or let you down.

Rj: You never could. You know, I, uh, keep thinking about that night that we shared together. How amazing it was.

Luna: It was perfect. I’ve never felt more loved. I want to feel that way again.

Sheila: So, kelly, do you remember me?

Kelly: Help me, help! No!

Sheila: Kelly, no!

Kelly: She saved me. You’re the nice lady from the beach.

Sheila: Yes, I’m sheila.

Steffy: Part of me wants to kill sheila for what she did. The way she terrorized my family.

Liam: If anybody deserves to feel that way, it’s you. I wish I could tell you this too shall pass, but no, it won’T. You’re always gonna feel this way. You’re always gonna be on edge. You’re always gonna be looking over your shoulder.

Steffy: I can’t imagine feeling this way forever.

Liam: Well, the only way to not feel this way forever is to not be married to finn.

Steffy: Well, finn is my husband and he’s not going anywhere.

Liam: Okay. Well, then all I can do is tell you to be careful and call me if you need anything.

Steffy: I will. And I will do whatever is necessary to keep me and my and my kids safe from sheila.

Kelly: Hey, danny, take a picture with me.

Danny: Okay. I think you took a good picture.

Kelly: Oh, my gosh, that’s so cute. I’m texting it to mommy.

[ Cell phone dings ]

[ Steffy gasps ] Oh, my god. Lucy?

Lucy: Hi. We’re just grabbing some pizza at el giardino. Kelly just sent you the cutest picture.

Steffy: Hey, I need you to get the kids and take them out of there. You need to leave now. I’ll explain later, okay? Ugh, I can’t wait to get out of here…

Rj: You know I could do this all day. Just holding you in my arms, forgetting about our worries.

Luna: I’ve never wanted to be in bed with any other man.

Rj: I want you to know that I don’t take for granted for a second that I’m the only person you’ve ever been with.

Zende: If you want to maintain the life that you’ve built here in L.A. And at forrester, don’t say a word. Keep our secret forever.

Rj: It doesn’t bother you, does it, that I was with other women before you?

Luna: No, no, I know you had a life. I know it didn’t just start the day you met me.

Rj: It feels like it did. I haven’t even looked at another woman since the first day I saw you.

Luna: I, um, I haven’t been interested in anyone else either.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too, rj. More than you’ll ever know.

Steffy: Do you know where sheila is?

Waiter: Yeah, she went upstairs to deacon’s apartment.

Steffy: Thanks.

Waiter: And how’s everything here?

[ Banging on door ]

Steffy: Sheila! I know you’re in there! Open up!

[ Banging on door ]

Sheila: Steffy?

Steffy: You know why I’m here. I told you to stay away from me and my family.

Sheila: Well, I was just doing my nails. You’re here, not the other way around.

Steffy: Kelly was at the restaurant with her friend and her mom.

Sheila: Yeah, she came in for lunch. I– I said hello.

Steffy: You’re supposed to stay away from her. You know that.

Sheila: She came to where I am working, steffy. What was I supposed to do, leave?

Steffy: Yes. You leave kelly alone.

Sheila: I have an obligation and that is to be polite to my customers.

Steffy: Oh, cut the bull, sheila. You knew exactly what you were doing.

Sheila: Well, you know what? The conversation lasted about five seconds. And kelly was happy to see me. I’m sorry that you’re upset. I– I can see that you are, and I am sorry about that, but kelly’s visit was innocent, steffy. You’re overreacting.

Steffy: I’m overreacting? You shot your own son, and you shot me, and you left us both to die.

Sheila: I never meant to hurt my son.

Steffy: If you really cared about your son, why didn’t you call 9-1-1? No, you just left him in an alley.

Sheila: Stop it. You stop it right now.

Steffy: Don’t you dare touch me.

Sheila: Not another word.

Steffy: You’re a lunatic, sheila. Only a psychopath would shoot her own son.

Sheila: Get out.

Steffy: No. I’m not finished with you. You are done terrorizing my family. Do you hear me? You’re gonna stay away from us. You mean nothing to us, sheila.

Sheila: I said go. I said go!

Steffy: Right there!

[ Dramatic music ]

Luna: It’s not what you think, mom. I didn’t– I didn’t wake up in rj’s bed this morning. I woke up in zende’S.

Poppy: Could someone have drugged you?

Luna: No, no, I mean I was at the forrester house, not a club.

Poppy: How much did you have to eat?

Luna: Like barely anything. I probably had more mints than anything else.

Poppy: Mints? You can’t tell him.

Luna: I have to tell him.

Poppy: Okay, but you didn’t cheat. It wasn’t a betrayal. You were in an altered state.

Luna: I slept with another man, mom. How it happened doesn’t matter.

[ Knock on door ]

Zende: Have you heard from luna? Did she tell rj?

Rj: Wow, look at you. Hi. You wanna go for a morning walk on the beach? It looks really nice out there.

Luna: Sure, okay.

Rj: It’s not okay. I mean, you– you’re obviously not feeling like yourself.

Luna: I’m sorry, rj, I just–

Rj: No, no, no. Don’t be sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I just wanted to be with you last night. It was nice, you know, just being able to hold you. You falling asleep in my arms. I’m just guessing you didn’t get a lot of sleep, though. Look, I know a lot was on your mind last night, okay? And I’m sensing that there still is.

Luna: Oh, my god. What happened? What am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what i asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Rj: Whatever’s going on, you don’t got to worry about it. It’s going to be all right. I love you. Come here.

Hope: It’s very… provocative.

Thomas: Too provocative?

Hope: Maybe. Definitely too provocative for hope for the future, but I have a feeling that’s not what you were thinking about when you were designing this.

Thomas: What gave me away?

Hope: Hm… something about the silhouette evokes A… raw sensuality.

Thomas: You have a problem with raw sensuality?

Thomas: You know, my granddad’s right about us.

Hope: How so?

Thomas: Oh, it’s just what he said earlier when we were with him. Or even the night he collapsed. He said that we’re not scandalous, the two of us. He also sees how happy I am with you. How happy we both are. And my granddad knows better than anyone, it doesn’t make sense to postpone happiness. Life’s too short for that.

Poppy: You shouldn’t just show up here like this.

Zende: You want me to keep my distance? You do realize that’s next to impossible since luna and I literally work together?

Poppy: Okay, yes, but–

Zende: Is she here?

Poppy: No.

Zende: She didn’t come home last night? Have you heard from her?

Poppy: Obviously, you haven’t either.

Zende: What if she told rj? What if he knows?

Poppy: About what you did that night?

Zende: What I did? I did not take advantage of her! She agrees! You’re the one who drugged your own daughter!

Poppy: Yes, well… okay, we’re both on edge. And neither of us want luna to destroy her life and future with rj over one terrible mistake.

Luna: I’m sorry.

Rj: No, you have nothing to be sorry about. Look, um… I know– I know we gotta get going soon, but I just want you to know that I love you. And this is– this is what I’m focused on right now. Just us, okay? And I just want to know what’s going on because I just want to help you. I promise you, nothing is gonna come between us. Ever. Special k is oven-toasted to crisp perfection

Thomas: You know we’re lucky, having granddad’s support. You know, your mom actually looks up to him. Maybe– maybe he could help us convince her to be on our side.

Hope: You mean put eric in the middle between his own grandson and a woman who will always hold a very, very special place in his heart?

Thomas: Okay, it’s a bad idea. Right. Okay, that’s– that’s fine. All I really wanted was my granddad’s blessing. You know, that means everything to me. Nope, strike that. You mean everything to me.

Hope: Mm-hmm. You keep talking like that, we aren’t going to get a lot of work done.

Thomas: If you’re thinking about work, then I’m doing something terribly wrong.

Hope: No, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Rj: Oh, hey! Hi! Sorry. I, uh… my bad. So that’s what it’s like to be on the other side of this. I didn’t know you two were…

Thomas: Working.

Hope: Yeah, yeah. And we were just taking a– a quick break.

Thomas: Just a break.

Rj: You know, that’s really funny because that’s exactly– it’s like word for word what I say when luna and i get interrupted. That’s funny.

Hope: Speaking of.

Thomas: Speaking of. Yeah, where is luna?

Hope: Yeah, did she, uh, did she ride in with you?

Rj: Did she ride in with me? Is this your really subtle way of asking me if luna spent the night with me last night?

Thomas: No, we just– we don’t care.

Hope: Nope, nope.

Thomas: We don’t wanna know.

Hope: No, you are two adults and we would never pry.

Thomas: Never.

Rj: I just– I want to spend every second of every day with this girl. And it’s– it’s crazy. When we’re apart, I’M…

Thomas: Just thinking about the next time you get to be with her. I know what that’s like.

Rj: Yeah. I mean, because I’ve like I’ve had other girlfriends, but this is just… it’s completely different because of who luna is.

Hope: Well, it sounds like you two are in a very good place.

Thomas: Yeah.

Rj: Yeah, yeah and I think it’s only gonna get better.

Poppy: Rj would never understand.

Zende: That is why luna cannot tell him what happened between us. The fallout? I don’t even want to go there.

Poppy: Well, neither do I. But knowing my daughter and how much she values the truth–

Zende: Luna should have never been in this situation and she wouldn’t have been if you–

Poppy: If it weren’t for me and my special mints. Zende, I am aware.

Zende: You’re a mother. I don’t get how you could be so irresponsible.

Poppy: I didn’t do it on purpose! I would never intentionally harm my daughter. I love her more than I love my own life.

Zende: I’m not questioning that, but… you took something precious from her, poppy. From me, too. I really do care about luna. I would have liked to see where this could go, I–

Poppy: Okay, will you just put that out of your mind right now? Luna loves rj and he adores her and this will not ruin things for them.

Zende: The only way it won’t is if…

Luna: Zende, what are you doing here?

Poppy: Honey, you’re home. I was texting you all night and this morning. You spent the night with rj?

Luna: Yeah.

Poppy: I was so worried about you, honey.

Zende: We both were.

Thomas: Please tell me that everything’s okay. That you and rj, that– that your relationship is okay. I know that you were thinking about telling him. But, sweetheart, if you do… you have to protect what you found with him. Protect his heart. Protect yours. You two have so much promise together as a couple. Don’t jeopardize it by–

Luna: By what, mom? By being honest with him?

Poppy: You’re not saying–

Luna: No, mom. I didn’t tell rj. And I feel awful.

Did you know you waste

200 hours a year

Hope: Look at you. You can’t stop smiling, can you?

Rj: I don’t know. Thinking about luna does that to me.

Thomas: Oh, puppy love.

Rj: Stop.

Hope: I don’t know. You two have had some very special moments lately.

Rj: I will admit, though, um. Something’s been a little bit off recently.

Thomas: How so?

Rj: I don’t know. She’s just been kind of within herself.

Hope: Well, have you tried talking to her about it?

Rj: Yes. I– I didn’t want to push. I just told her that I’m here for her if she needs me.

Hope: I know she appreciates having your support. I’m sure she just has a lot going on right now.

Rj: And that’s why I’m trying to be as understanding as I can.

Thomas: From what I’ve seen? You two, how you act around each other, the way that you talk about her, I think that you have what it takes to go the distance.

Hope: I think we all think that.

Rj: I think you’re right. I think we do have a real future ahead of us.

Luna: Rj thinks that I’m so pure and innocent. He thinks that I’m someone he can trust.

Poppy: And you are, honey. You’re all those things and more. That’s why rj loves you so much.

Luna: But if he knew what happened? If rj knew about what happened between us zende?

Poppy: There’s no reason to tell–

Luna: No reason? Mom, what about honesty? Or– or decency? Or integrity? Oh, right. I mean, who am I kidding? I’m talking to the mother who accidentally drugged her own daughter, so…

Poppy: Luna, I told you–

Luna: I know what you told me, mom. I know that you’re horrified about what happened.

Poppy: Yes, and I am horrified. But please, please don’t make a bad situation infinitely worse by confessing to rj. Why take that risk?

Luna: We’ve always been so close, you and I. That was our power. But after what happened, and now knowing why it happened, I don’t know if we’ll ever be that close again. Or if it’s even possible.

Poppy: Oh, sweetheart. Please.

Luna: Just go. Now, please. I want a moment alone with zende.

Poppy: You don’t know that that’s why–

Luna: Oh my god, mom. For the last time, zende did not take advantage of me. This was all you. All you and your mints.

Zende: I hate what this is doing to you. If I could take it all back, I would. But since I know that’s not possible, maybe the only thing to do is to move forward. And I think I know a way how. A way for you not to feel so tormented about our night together. -We’re done. -What about these?

Thomas: Ah, finally, privacy.

Hope: Mm-hmm

Luna: You’re everything I ever imagined. So kind and handsome. Who understands me and trusts and respects me. And loves me.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too.

Luna: I know you hate secrets. And I definitely hate this secret. When I’m with rj, and he’s telling me how much he loves and trusts me, like, I feel like such a fraud.

Zende: You are not a fraud. You are wonderful. And none of what has happened has been your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong.

Luna: Knowingly, no. That doesn’t change what happened, zende. You and I slept together. I mean, nothing is ever gonna be the same after this.

Zende: Like I said, I hate seeing you like this. You don’t deserve it. You are so amazing. You came into forrester, and you caught everyone’s eye. Not just rj’s, but mine too. Our night together, I realize now that you’d taken those mints and thought I was rj, but I knew that I was with you. I knew how incredible it felt from the moment I had you in my arms. Luna, I am crazy about you. And… um… despite everything, I have always thought that things happen for a reason. And the more I think about it, the more I think this might’ve happened for a reason as well. Maybe telling rj will make it easier.

Luna: Make what easier?

Zende: Easier for us to be together. I have felt this connection with you. And not just our night together, we’ve spent so much time together. I’ve opened up to you, and– and you’ve listened. I mean, I– I thought that we would be so incredible together. All this guilt and torment that you’re feeling, it will disappear. I know it will. Because I will spend every moment of every day making sure it does by making you happy. Give me a chance, luna. Give us a chance. Leave him. Leave rj. Be with me.

Rj: You know you can tell me anything, right? Luna, I can clearly see that you’re upset. Just tell me this isn’t me. Did I do something wrong?

Luna: No.

Rj: Well, maybe I was texting you too much and you just wanted to be alone. But I– I’m sorry, I was just really concerned because I’m so used to you always texting me back. It was really unlike you. No, I’M… I’m not upset with you.

Rj: Okay, then what? You said that I needed to know something about last night?

Zende: Hello, luna.

Luna: Hi, you.

Luna: I– I– I saw rj. It was him. He was here. He’s the only guy that I’ve ever… I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense.

[ Door slams ]

Zende: Poppy, what are you doing here?

Poppy: We’re alone now. I need to know exactly what happened last night with my daughter.

Deacon: Hey, sweetheart. I haven’t seen you in a while.

Hope: Yeah. And sadly, we both know why.

Deacon: Uh-oh.

Hope: Uh-oh is right. Dad, I’m here to make one last appeal. I miss you. End your relationship with sheila.

Hope: I mean, do you miss me? Dad, do you miss the kids?

Deacon: Of course, I do. I miss you more than anything.

Hope: Okay, so what is it then? What– what is the pull to sheila that’s stronger than your want to– want to be with us? I mean, dad, do you know how hurtful that is? I mean, you are choosing an actual psychopath over your own family.

Poppy: Luna is in love with rj. She had no intention of being with you.

Zende: I would never take advantage of someone. I will say it as many times as you need to hear it. I thought luna reached out to me. She was waiting for me when I came home. I had no idea that luna wasn’t herself. She seemed into it, let alone that she thought I was rj. Now, all because of your so-called mints.

Luna: All because of your disgusting mints, mom. Now our relationship is tainted.

Poppy: Honey, no.

Luna: Yes, mom, it is.

Zende: I respect you wanting to be truthful. But your mother’s right. There is absolutely no reason rj needs to know.

Rj: Luna, look at me. Whatever it is that you gotta tell me, just know I love you. And that you’re safe, and that I’m always gonna be here for you. Nothing you could ever do is gonna change that. Just please tell me what’s going on.

Luna: You have no idea how much I wish I stayed at that party. And came back here with you last night.

Hope: Dad, I don’t know how else to frame this for you, to get you to understand, but… dad, I love you.

Deacon: I love you, too.

Hope: Okay, so why are you doing the one thing that you know is going to drive a wedge between us? I don’t understand, dad. There’s– there’s millions of women in los angeles. Millions. That– that aren’t sheila. That aren’t someone who– who could potentially turn on a dime and hurt one of us.

Deacon: She wouldn’t do that.

Hope: You don’t know that. And there are children involved, so why even risk it? Please, put an end to it. I don’t understand.

Sheila: I, uh, I couldn’t help but overhear.

Deacon: Hey, babe. I’m sorry. I didn’t want you to have to…

Hope: No, dad, don’t apologize. Please, not on my behalf, because I meant every word.

Deacon: So, uh, where did you take off to?

Sheila: I just needed to see someone.

Deacon: Really? Who?

Sheila: Just someone from my past. No– no one important, really, but hope… I know how much you hate to see your father and me together. And I am sorry you feel that way. I truly am sorry. But the fact remains, we are in a committed relationship. We love one another. Could you please find it in your heart to just give me a chance?

Hope: Well, the fact remains, sheila, I will never be able to accept that. Because I don’t believe that you have changed. I don’t think you are capable. I think you are pulling one over on my dad. And I love him too much to watch him risk destroying the life that he has worked so hard for for you. Dad, I’m going to fight for us. For our family. And I am not going to lose you to her.

Zende: None of last night would’ve happened. None of it. If you hadn’t been so careless with your drug-laced mints.

Poppy: Do you think I’m not horrified by what happened? I still can’t believe that luna’s mints got mixed up with mine.

Zende: Look, you’re upset. I am too. I care about luna. I would have loved nothing more than to be the man in her life, but… that’s rj. I would have never inserted myself in that situation if I hadn’t believed that she wanted me to. Now it’s just a big mess.

Poppy: Yeah, it’s about to get messier.

Zende: What does that mean?

Poppy: I’m afraid that luna’s gonna tell rj what happened, risking everything they could have together.

Rj: I mean, I wish we could’ve been together last night too. I couldn’t believe how much I missed you.

Luna: I missed you too. Way more than you know.

Rj: Luna, is that what you’re upset about? That we missed a night together? Because I think we’re gonna have a lot more. I mean, I’m just saying.

Luna: I hope so.

Rj: Why would there be any doubt? Luna… seriously, did I– did I do something wrong?

Luna: No, no, you’re perfect.

Rj: No, come on. I don’t know about that.

Luna: I do. I mean, you’re so sweet and kind, loving.

Rj: You– you’re all those things. And more, luna. Like I said, like I got back here at the apartment and I was thinking about you. Alone, in your bed.

Luna: You’re always so fun. Zende? Wait, where’s rj? Rj?

>I just wished I could’ve been with you.

Luna: If you were, everything would be so different. Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

Sheila: I– I know you don’t believe I’ve changed, but I– I can prove it to you. Okay, but just open that door a little bit.

Hope: You know what? Forget it. No, hope. Please. You’re kind. You’re compassionate. Why can’t you extend that to me?

Hope: Because you don’t deserve it, sheila. I mean, you know what this is, right? This is the I’ve changed speech, which I have heard from many people over the years. But no, you might have my dad fooled, but I see you clearly. You are the same manipulative, lying killer that you have always been.

Deacon: Okay, hope, please. Come on.

Hope: No, dad, it is true. You want to show me that you’ve changed?

Sheila: Yes, I do.

Hope: Okay, then. Show some growth… and walk away. End the relationship, because clearly my dad isn’t capable of doing it. But if you actually care about him, if you actually are in love with my father like you say you are, you will see what your relationship is costing him. And it is costing him his family, a relationship with his daughter, a relationship with his grandchildren, which I know that you understand.

Deacon: Okay. So please, sheila, he’s lost enough time already.

Deacon: Let’s– let’s just leave this right here for now.

Hope: Yeah.

Deacon: I promise I will speak with you, but right now I need to speak with sheila alone.

Sheila: Don’t, deacon. Don’t let hope get to you.

Poppy: I love that luna is such a good person. But sometimes my daughter can be too honest for her own good. She could lose the only man she ever loved.

Zende: Not could. Will. I know rj. He won’t understand. Especially since I’m involved. This will be a deal breaker. This isn’t even her fault. It’s because of you and your damn mints. I can’t help worrying… that luna’s about to lose everything.

Rj: Luna, if you just tell me what’s bothering you, we could fix this. Together. You could share with me anything. Anything. We’re– we’re a team. I’m– I’m just here to help you. Wait, is this about your first time, and–

Luna: No, no, never.

Rj: So you’re not having regrets about that, or…

Luna: I mean, I have regrets, but they’re not about you.

Rj: Hey. I’m so in love with you. And it means everything to me that you hate being apart as much as I do. And if it were up to me, we’d never spend another night apart.

Sheila: Don’t let hope come between us.

Deacon: I’m not doing that.

Sheila: Okay. Good. Because I know hope wields an enormous amount of influence with you, and I don’t think she has too high of an opinion of me.

Deacon: Well, look at you putting things all nicely.

Sheila: Still… you stick by me. You always have. It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with you. And I can’t wait. I can’t wait for the world to know that the feeling is mutual. I cannot wait for the day that we can tell everyone that you proposed to me.

Deacon: Yeah, um… about that. I just– I think that maybe the news about my proposal, you know, shouldn’t come out in advance.

Sheila: Wait, what are you…

Deacon: That I– I– listen, I’m not ending our relationship. Okay? I’m just– I’m just trying to say–

Sheila: No, what are you– what are you trying to say?

Deacon: Sheila, I’m talking about hope. I’m talking about the effect that us getting married would have on my daughter. Sheila, I barely see hope as it is. My contact with– with douglas and beth, it’s hit and miss. If you were my wife, hope would cut me off completely. I would never see my daughter or my grandkids again.

Sheila: Are you saying you don’t want to marry me?

Deacon: Not yet. Not-not now.

Sheila: Not ever?

Deacon: Sheila, the last thing that I want to do in this world is hurt you. But I cannot just keep ignoring what hope’s saying to me. Please tell me you understand.

Sheila: You don’t wanna hurt me? You just did.

Zende: What?

Poppy: You think I’m a terrible mother, don’t you?

Zende: Does it matter what I think?

Poppy: In the long run, no. But since we’re stuck in this situation, we might as well have our cards on the table.

Zende: Okay. Since you asked.

Poppy: Mm-hmm…

Zende: I don’t think you’re a terrible anything. I don’t know you. But I know luna, and she is amazing. You raised her by yourself, so, you had to have had a lot to do with that. I also think that you’re careless and irresponsible.

Poppy: Okay, okay. You don’t have to say it again. I am painfully aware. My daughter wouldn’t have gone through any of this if it weren’t for me. And I still can’t believe that luna accidentally took my mints and ended up in bed with you.

Zende: I’m sorry.

Poppy: I am too. What I won’t accept is that one innocent, albeit horrible mistake, could destroy luna and rj’s relationship.

Rj: You know, I used to hear growing up that love comes when you least expect it. That’s been you. Really. Like the last thing on my mind was getting in a serious relationship. And then there you are, at my granddad’s house, and you’re just this beautiful, stunning woman, and you’re funny, and you’re kind. You’re so honest, and there’s this purity about you that I just love. I know I’m going on and on, but I just– I love you. I do. And nothing could change that.

Luna: I feel the same way. I mean, I– I never thought that I could love someone like this. And the last thing that I ever want to do is hurt you. You know, what we’ve found together, it means the world to me. And I never want to lose you.

Rj: You’re never going to lose me.

Luna: Can you say that one more time? I really need to hear it.

Rj: You’re never gonna lose me.

Luna: Thank you.

Poppy: There’s no reason to tell rj.

Luna: He deserves to know.

Poppy: But why take that risk? You could mess everything up.

Luna: “Could”? Mom, no, I already have. I messed it all up as soon as I got into zende’s bed.

Poppy: Yes, ’cause you didn’t know what you were doing! That the mints you took could–

Luna: Could? Could what? Make me hallucinate? No, mom. I thought they’d do what mints do. I didn’t know that I– I had your mints that are laced with god knows what.

Poppy: Yes, because I take one, luna! And definitely not with alcohol.

Luna: Okay…

Poppy: No, luna, I am sorry. I am so, so sorry.

Luna: I thought I was with rj, mom. That’s how out of it I was. That’s what your little drug habit did to me. It ended up with me sleeping with zende. I spent the night with him, cuddled up in his arms, thinking that he was my boyfriend, mom.

Poppy: Yes, because of me. Okay, this is all my fault. Don’t turn a terrible mistake, my terrible mistake, into something so much worse, okay? Rj doesn’t need to know anything about what happened last night.

Thomas: Wow, look at that pencil fly. Didn’t know anyone could sketch so fast.

Rj: Yeah. Just trying to get this idea on paper as quickly as I can.

Hope: Oh, you mean before it escapes your brain?

Rj: Yeah, sure.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I– I don’t know. I think, maybe, I don’t know, does someone have other plans?

Rj: Um… yes, I do, actually. I do have plans. I am meeting luna at the beach house and I’m trying to set up a special date for tonight, and I am trying to leave early to do that, so yes.

Hope: Well, lucky luna.

Thomas: And lucky rj. Hey, look, we’ve, uh– we’ve seen the positive effect she’s had on you lately.

Hope: Yeah. It’s been really nice to watch the two of you. You’re a sweet couple.

Luna: You want me to lie to rj about this?

Poppy: You’re not really lying. You didn’t mean to.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, no. That’s probably him.

Luna: Probably. Go. Zende.

Zende: I know I’m probably the last person you wanna see right now. I’m just– I’ve been so worried, and, uh, I just, um– I know you’ve been freaking out, and honestly, I have too. I just– I can’t have you thinking that last night, that– that what we shared, that somehow I took advantage of you–

Luna: Mom, what are you doing?

Poppy: I want the truth. Did you take advantage of my daughter last night? Answer me!

Zende: Absolutely not! No, no, no! We spoke earlier in the night, and I told her that I was across the courtyard, and then there she was, waiting for me. You– you– you told her, right?

Luna: Yes, yes.

Zende: I didn’t– I wasn’t trying to. I didn’t–

Luna: Yes, I remember enough to know that you did nothing wrong. I just– I just really thought that you were rj. Mom, come on, I told you this. My mom knows all about what happened last night. More than you think. Mom, we owe zende an explanation.

Rj: Is it that obvious how close luna and I are getting?

Hope: Mmm, don’t worry. Everyone approves.

Thomas: Yeah, everyone approves. Has that ever happened in this family before? Like, where everyone is just on board from the beginning?

Rj: I don’t think so. No. Never.

[ All laughing ] I mean, there’s not really anything to object to with luna. I mean, she’s– she’s kind, she’s funny, she’s beautiful. I’m a lucky guy.

Luna: I’m sorry. I thought you were rj. I really– I really did.

Zende: I– I wish I could understand how. The last thing– the last thing I would want for our first time would be for her to think that I was someone else. All I know is that luna was there when I walked in. She told me that she had been waiting for me. You– you said that I’m owed an explanation?

Luna: Listen, I didn’t understand why I spent the night thinking you were rj… until I talked to my mom about it. What happened between us, it’s all her fault.

Zende: Your mother?

Luna: Yeah. My mother and her mints. In all my travels I’ve never seen such dry skin.

Rj: I tried to make it as romantic as possible considering it was her, um…

Thomas: Oh! Okay.

Rj: I’ve– I’ve revealed way too much to you.

Hope: Um, yeah. I– I’m gonna table this conversation, you know, for a different time, a different place, a different conversation that doesn’t involve me. Um… but I will say, as a woman, that the first time is– is a bit of a big deal and should be treated with respect.

Rj: I know, I get that, and– and– and I respect that. That’s why I, like– I tried to make everything just as perfect as I possibly could.

Hope: All right. Well, I’m sure… it was great, and you are a nice, caring guy, and I am happy for you both. And let’s change the subject, please.

Rj: Yeah, no– let’s– no, but she is– I wanna emphasize though, she’s– she’s amazing. I’m thinking about her, like, all of the time. I just can’t wait to see her again.

Thomas: Would you look at that guy? He has got it bad. You’re in love.

Luna: Well, are you gonna tell him, or am I?

Zende: You said something about mints?

Poppy: Recreational. I take them every now and then to take the edge off.

Luna: Those mints do a lot more than just take the edge off, mom.

Poppy: That’s because I have one, luna. One. I don’t pop two or three at a time all night long. And because I’ve taken them for a while, I’ve, uh, you know, built up a tolerance. But yeah, someone who hasn’t had it before, it could have a much bigger effect. Especially if you mix it with alcohol.

Zende: I– I am not following. Why are we talking about your mother’s mints?

Poppy: Because luna likes mints too. Normal ones. And somehow, mine got mixed up with hers.

Zende: Are you– are you saying you were high last night?

Luna: Yeah. I ate quite a lot of them. You know, ’cause I don’t know. I thought they were regular mints. I thought that I was just keeping my breath fresh. But little did I know.

[ Zende laughing ] I started getting really tired and– and then fuzzy headed, so I– I told rj that I have to go home.

Zende: And this is why you left early.

Luna: Yeah. I mean, I was exhausted. And so thirsty. Suddenly so thirsty. I’m guessing that’s a side effect or something.

Poppy: It can be. Yeah.

Luna: And so I walked outside to call a ride. That’s when I saw the water bottles in the guest house. I literally just went in and I downed the whole thing. I don’t remember sitting down or getting in your bed, but… I don’t know. I guess it makes sense because of how tired I was.

Zende: Are you, um, you’re– you’re telling me that you were drugged by your own mother?

Luna: Yeah. And that’s why I thought you were rj. ‘Cause I was, like, hallucinating or something.

Zende: How could you do this to her?

Poppy: I am horrified! Trust me!

Zende: Yeah, you should be! I mean, you didn’t just take something from luna. You took from me too. I really, really like your daughter. And I’ve been hoping, I– I’ve been– I thought that maybe we might share something beautiful, but… not like this.

Luna: Okay, great. Now zende knows. It’s time for someone else to know too. I have to tell rj.

A year after a heart attack,

Rj: In love? Yeah. Yeah, I totally am. But, hey, you know what? She is too.

Hope: Wait, wait, wait. You– you said it to each other?

Rj: Yeah.

Hope: Look, I– I think it’s– it’s wonderful. And in all seriousness, I– I have been working here with her for a while now, and I have to say, you did great. She’s so wonderful.

Rj: I definitely feel like I’m a– I’m a very fortunate guy.

Hope: Luna’s pretty fortunate too, to have such a caring, honest guy.

Rj: Yeah. I mean, I try. But luna, she’s just– she’s the epitome of honesty. Like, I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m so attracted to her. It’s just so easy for me to trust her.

Thomas: Is that sketch finished?

Rj: Yeah. Why?

Thomas: Get out of here.

Rj: Yeah.

Luna: I’m telling rj what happened.

Poppy: You can’T.

Luna: I have to, mom. Rj thinks that I’m– I’m a good person, and he believes in me. Like– like, when he looks at me, he sees someone that’s honest and committed and sweet and pure.

Poppy: You are.

Luna: I was. Our relationship was, but not anymore. Not after last night.

Poppy: No, don’t say that.

Luna: All because of your disgusting mints, mom. Now our relationship is tainted.

Poppy: Honey, no.

Luna: Yes, mom. It is. It’s ruined. I mean, I can’t believe that this is happening right now. All because of you and your damn drugs. Like, I can– I can barely look at you right now.

Zende: As much as I wanted what happened between us– I would hope for it– to find out why it happened? Look, I respect you wanting to be truthful, but your mother’s right. There is absolutely no reason rj needs to know.

Luna: Well, what about trust?

Zende: And telling him would break it!

Luna: Well, maybe rj would understand. Like, he’d appreciate that I’m confiding in him.

Zende: No one would understand, luna! No one would understand at all, ever. Not– I can hardly understand this. Look, telling him, you will just lose him. You will lose your reputation too. It’s just– telling him will do no good. It will just hurt you.

Poppy: And not to mention hurt rj too, and I know you don’t want that. Zende’s right.

Luna: Oh, my god, none of you guys understand what it’s like–

Poppy: No, honey, he’s right. He’s right. Look at me. Look at me. Rj’s expecting you. Go to him. Hug him. Kiss him. Remind yourself everything you’d be giving up if you told him. Rj doesn’t even know anything what happened last night. It was just a horrible mistake. Don’t say a word. Moving forward with node-positive

Hope: You know, all this talk about romance and love, it’s really got me thinking.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm. About you. And this ring.

Luna: I saw rj. It was him. He was here. I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: Are you saying you were high last night?

Luna: And that’s why I thought you were rj. I was like hallucinating or something. I have to tell rj.

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hi. Are you feeling better?

Luna: Um… not entirely.

Rj: Okay. Is there anything I can do to help? Um, I know you were with your mom earlier, right? You know, I know what it’s like when you’re sick and your mom takes care of you. It’s the best feeling in the world. I was actually with mine earlier, um, when we were talking and I was just, uh, I was just telling her I was worried about you, you know? Um, she was reassuring me that poppy would be taking good care of you. You two are close. Nozawa power, right? Luna, look at me. What’s going on? Does it have something to do with the party last night?

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Well, I mean, if you’re– if you’re feeling guilty, don’T. I’m– I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you to stay at the party. I mean, you were tired. You wanted to go home and everybody totally got it. I mean, you know, we all wanted you to stay. Of course, we all missed you, me most of all. And I, um, I– I don’t know. I just, I got back here and I thought about you, you know, at your apartment alone and I wish you were here and I could wrap you up in my arms.

Luna: Yeah, you have no idea how much I wish I was with you last night.

Rj: It’s– it’s okay. You’re here. You’re here. Come here. It’s okay. Everything’s all right. Hey, look at me. You’re so beautiful. And I’m– I’m so lucky to have you in my life.

Luna: It was rj’s face, mom. He was there and I thought that he was the one in bed with me and that’s why I did what I did. What are you telling me? That me waking up in zende’s bed this morning was because of you and your mints?

Poppy: It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.

Rj: Luna, come on, talk to me. What’s going on? You could tell me anything, anything at all.

Luna: I want to believe that.

Rj: You can. You can believe it. I’m here. I’m right here, okay? And all– all I want to do is help you. Tell me.

Luna: I love you so much and I always want to be honest with you and… there’s something that I need to tell you. Something that you need to know about last night.

[dramatic music]

Luna: What happened to me last night? I– I wasn’t sick or tired. It was those!

Poppy: I’m so sorry, baby.

Luna: The reason why I ended up with zende and thought it was rj is because of– is because of you, mom? Because of you and your mints?

Liam: Hello, rj.

Rj: Liam! Hey, what’s– what’s that?

Liam: Uh, it’s kelly’S. She, uh, she left her soccer stuff in my car. I’m dropping it off for her mom.

Rj: Oh, steffy’s in a meeting.

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. Can I leave it here?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, put it right there.

Liam: Actually, I was kind of hoping I’d run into you.

Rj: Uh, me. Why– why me?

Liam: To pick your brain about something potentially awkward, namely the fact that my dad is super into your girlfriend’s mom.

Eric: Well, I know I’m the old married man here, but I do remember what it’s like to be your age, rj’s, ridge’s, for that matter. Going out on the town, never knowing how any particular evening was going to end up. It’s an exciting time. Although, I know that sooner or later, you start to wonder if, uh, you might be able to find something more fulfilling. Maybe find that one special person. Or maybe you already have.

Eric: Anyone new in your life?

Zende: I thought so, but, um, I think I read the situation all wrong.

Eric: Well, that can happen.

Zende: Nothing like this has ever happened to me. Luna?

Luna: Hi, you.

Zende: You’re here.

Luna: Waiting for you. I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. Oh, my god, what have I done?

Zende: I am so sorry about whatever it is that is happening right now. I would never take advantage of you.

Luna: Yes, I know that. I know. I believe you. I remember enough to know that. How could I? Rj loves me and– and– and trusts me and this is what I do to him?

Zende: You were right. I did meet someone special. But, it’s not going to work out.

Liam: You should, uh, you should hear the way my dad talks about poppy.

Rj: What’s he said?

Liam: Good things. Only good things. Really, really, really good things, actually. However, despite my constant petitioning, I’ve yet to be granted an introduction with the woman, which is why I’m asking you what your read is on her.

Poppy: I was always so careful. I never wanted anything like this, but somehow you ended up with my mints.

Luna: Except they’re not just mints, mom. I was seeing things. I lost touch with reality.

Poppy: I know, okay? They’re not normal mints. I take them as a way to unwind. You know, like some people have a glass of wine. It’s harmless.

Luna: No, mom, it’s not.

Poppy: I never wanted you to know. I tried keeping it from you.

Luna: I can’t believe it. I was drugged by my own mother? Wanna know how I get this glow?!

Eric: All right. No more questions about the new woman in your life.

Zende: I’m not being coy, granddad. If I was going to talk to anybody about this, you would be top of my list.

Eric: Good. I’m glad to hear it. Just know I’m always here if you need to talk.

Zende: Thank you.

Eric: Although there is something I want to talk to you about. It’s been on my mind a lot lately.

Zende: Not your health.

Eric: No, not my health. That’s going pretty well, actually, although, it is related. When I was first ill, when I was hiding my diagnosis from everybody, um, well, I asked rj and luna to help me out with the collection.

Zende: Yeah, I– I understand. Ridge explained it to me.

Eric: Well, I want you to hear it from me. It was not my intention to exclude you or to keep you out of the loop. Not at all. I have great respect for your talent and your skill and your contributions at forrester. You’re very important to our company. You understand that? I wanna work with you, too.

Zende: I’d be honored.

Eric: Oh, the honor would be mine. I’m very impressed with the young talent we have at forrester. I mean, you and thomas, hope, rj, luna. You know, luna is the most extraordinary intern we’ve ever had at forrester, I think. I mean, she’s quick and she’s resourceful and she’s smart and I think she’s inspired. I want you to do me a favor.

Zende: Anything, granddad.

Eric: I want you to get to know her. I want you to work with that young lady.

Liam: I’m not trying to put you in an awkward position, asking you about your girlfriend’s mom.

Rj: No, no, it’s fine. I, um, I– I don’t mind. I just– I only have good things to say about poppy.

Liam: Yeah, but personality-wise, like kind of a free spirit type, from what I understand?

Rj: Yes. Yeah, no, she totally is.

Liam: It’s just hard for me to picture, like… you’ve heard this, right? The actual story of how they met 20 years ago at a music festival. One single, solitary, magical night. And then decades later, she just shows up in la?

Rj: Yeah, to be with her daughter.

Liam: I– I get that. I know that. I’m just, uh, you know, somebody’s gotta play the role of protective son, right? My dad’s one of the wealthiest men in L.A. And women target him all the time.

Rj: Not poppy. No, I– I totally get, like, the concern. But, no, luna and poppy are two of the most honest people I’ve ever met. Like, poppy’s definitely a free spirit. Granted, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t luna’s rock. Like, when she was working on the collection, poppy was there all the time with, like, take-out or coffee. You know, little pep talks. Whatever luna needed. My point is, is that totally don’t have to worry. I can’t even imagine poppy doing anything to hurt anyone.

Poppy: It was an accident, luna, okay? I usually keep them in my bag. I take the mints to help me relax.

Luna: Stop calling them that. They’re not mints, mom! I was hallucinating. I was with zende thinking that he was rj.

Poppy: Yeah, well, they don’t usually do that.

Luna: They did it to me! I mean, how did I even end up with them?

Poppy: Okay, I don’t know. Somehow, there was a mix-up before the party, and you picked up my mints instead of yours.

Luna: I was out of my mind, mom. I ended up in bed with another man. How could you do this, mom? How? Sleep more deeply.

Zende: Luna has a boyfriend, granddad.

Eric: Yes, I know. She’s been seeing rj. Yeah, I’m not suggesting anything like that.

Zende: That could cause big problems.

Eric: Yes. No question about that. No, I want you to work with luna as a mentor. Now, rj knows a lot about this business. He has a great deal of potential talent there. And he’s learned a great deal working with me lately, but, uh, he can’t touch what you know about it. You can teach luna things that– that he never could. I think you would enjoy each other. The two of you have a great deal in common.

Zende: You think so?

Eric: Yes. Look, I think it’d be really great for her. I really do.

Zende: She’s learned so much from you already, though, I–

Eric: Well, I need to start concentrating on other things in my life. Like my recovery. Spending more time at home here. Wanna concentrate on donna. It’s gonna be a while before I get behind the desk again at forrester. So, I want to keep luna engaged. And I want you to do that for me. Find out what excites her. What really turns her on, all right? I think that would really be good for her.

Liam: So, luna’s mom coming to town like right after you two started dating, that’s not– that hasn’t been an issue?

Rj: No, no, not at all. Luna’s, uh, she’s really close with her mom. She missed her, actually.

Liam: She’s definitely not the reason you want a little more privacy lately?

Rj: No. No, no, it wasn’t that. I needed– I needed my own space. It’s very hard to have a moment of privacy when you live with your parents, so…

Liam: Yeah, I’m– I’m aware. Yeah.

Rj: But anyways, though, poppy, I mean, she’s been so supportive of luna with her career goals. I mean, telling your mom that you wanna be in fashion isn’t like saying, “hey, I want to be an engineer or a doctor.”

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Unless you’re a forrester.

Rj: Right. But anyway, I really do think poppy would’ve been supportive of luna in whatever she decided to pursue because she’s just, honestly, she’s just a really positive person. And she just really sees the good in like every situation. Luna has like, uh, she has a similar attitude.

Liam: Yeah, takes after her mom?

Rj: They’re different. They both have the same set of values, you know? They’re both very kind and they both work really hard. They care about taking care of other people. Um, and they don’t let situations that are out of their control make them anxious.

Liam: That’s good advice.

Rj: Yeah, it’s just luna’s definitely not as laid back as her mom. Poppy’s definitely a free spirit, but that doesn’t mean that luna can’t depend on her mom.

Luna: I thought I was with rj last night. I mean, I saw his face. I heard his voice.

Poppy: Luna, I am so sorry.

Luna: You’re sorry? Mom, turns out I didn’t know where I was or who I was with. I love rj. I mean, I saved myself. I– I– I waited until the right guy came into my life. Someone that I trusted. And I don’t just do that with anyone. Like you. I haven’t been with anybody else before rj. He was my first and it was beautiful and pure and– and now it’s tainted. It’s not pure anymore, mom. Because of what happened. Because of what you did to your own daughter.

Poppy: Luna, I would never.

Luna: Maybe aunt li was right about you. You know, I– I didn’t wanna believe it. I– I didn’t see you the same way that she saw you, but maybe I was just naive. Because all of your talk about freedom? I think that you’re just irresponsible. And selfish. You do whatever you want, never minding the consequences of whoever it could hurt. Does aunt li know about the drugs? And is that why she doesn’t want me in L.A. Or around finn or working at forrester? Because she thinks I’m a druggie just like you.

Poppy: Luna, you know your aunt has never been fair to me. She doesn’t know us.

Luna: Or maybe she knows exactly what you are, mom. A druggie.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it. But you do know that what happened between us, what we shared… it was consensual, right? I would never.

Luna: I know that. It doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did.

[ Phone rings ]

Luna: It’s rj.

Poppy: Don’t answer, okay? You’re too upset.

Luna: Well, he’s been texting me because I told him that I didn’t feel well when I left the party last night. Hi, rj.

Rj: Hey. How are you doing? Are you feeling better?

Luna: Not really.

Rj: I’m sorry. Do you have any idea what happened?

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Well, it wasn’t food poisoning, was it?

Luna: Um… yeah, I definitely ate something bad.

Rj: Can I bring you anything? Maybe tea or crackers or…

Luna: No, no, it’s fine. I really don’t need anything.

Rj: Okay. Maybe me just being there then? I want to see you. I missed you last night.

Luna: I missed being with you too last night. Um, more than you know.

Rj: You’re at home, right? With your mom?

Luna: Yeah, um… look, it’s– it’s really not a good time right now, rj.

Rj: Okay. All right. Well, um… if you’re feeling better, uh, you’re welcome to come by my place later. And we can make up for the time that we missed last night.

Luna: Yeah. I need to see you too.

Rj: You need to see me? Well, that sounds serious.

Luna: Yeah, it’s, um, it’s pretty serious. Look, I, um, I love you so much, okay? Never forget that.

Rj: I– I love you too. And, uh, we’ll have plenty of time, together. You don’t have to worry about last night.

Luna: Okay. Bye. Well, rj wants to see me.

Poppy: Okay, that’s good. When are you gonna see him?

Luna: As soon as I figure out what I’m gonna say to him.

Poppy: Wait, luna. You can’t tell him.

Luna: I have to tell him?

Poppy: Okay, but you didn’t cheat. It wasn’t a betrayal. You were in an altered state.

Luna: I slept with another man, mom. How it happened doesn’t matter. Look, I know– I know I’ll probably lose rj after this. Like, zende and rj are– are rivals and there’s no way rj’s gonna accept this. I mean, how could he? I can’t even blame him.

Poppy: Please, luna, don’t do that. Don’t tell him.

Luna: Oh, my god. What kind of a mother are you? One night, I’m tripping off of your drugs, and the next day you’re telling me to keep secrets from the man I love?

Poppy: Okay, okay, luna, please, listen to me, all right? You are in an emotional state right now. Okay, you’re freaking out.

Luna: Uh, don’t I have every right to be?

Poppy: But you love rj so much, and he loves you. You two could have a beautiful relationship and future together. The relationship doesn’t have to end.

Luna: Oh, my god.

Poppy: Rj doesn’t need to know anything about what happened last night, okay? It was an accident. You did not mean to sleep with zende. Please, luna, I am begging you. Do not tell rj.

[ Sentimental music ]

Poppy: Tell me what happened, luna.

Luna: I don’t know.

Poppy: Okay, but you said you woke up in bed with zende.

Luna: Yes, but I thought it was rj. I saw his face, mom. I thought I was in bed with him, but it was zende. I slept with zende.

Poppy: Oh, honey, I am so sorry.

Luna: Something’s not right, mom. Something was seriously wrong with me last night, and I don’t know what it is, but I need you to help me, please.

Brooke: Honey, I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.

Rj: Probably not. It’s just it seemed like luna was a little down when she was on the phone.

Brooke: Well, at least you got to talk to her after trying to reach her all morning.

Rj: Yeah, but that’s– that’s the thing. Luna, she’s never without her phone. She always has it on her, ready to pick up.

Brooke: She probably just needed to sleep in.

Rj: It sounds like it was more than that. I don’t know, but if you’re right, you know, and– and she’s just not feeling well, then, you know, I wanna be there for her, to help her and take care of her.

Brooke: Well, it’s nice that you offered, you know, she knows that you care. But luna’s not alone here in los angeles. She does have her mom to look out for her.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Eric: Zende? What’s wrong?

Eric: I was getting some fresh air outside in the courtyard. I thought I’d stop in and say hi.

Zende: I’m glad you did. Congratulations again to you and donna.

Eric: Thank you. Yeah, your, uh, your granddad is a married man again. I’m officially off the market.

Zende: I feel bad for the ladies of beverly hills. They will be bummed to hear it.

Eric: It was great last night. It was so much fun surprising everyone. And surprising donna, especially. I mean, the whole evening was a great, great treat.

Zende: Yeah, we are all really excited for you. Truly.

Eric: You okay this morning? I mean, you seem a little down this morning. You okay?

Zende: Yeah, I, um, I just got a little bit of a stomach ache. That’s– that’s all.

Eric: So, you’re feeling the effects of last night, are you?

Brooke: Did anything happen with you and luna last night?

Rj: No. Nothing. I mean, she was excited to be at granddad’S. She was really honored to be included. She was having a good time at the party. Um, and then after a few hours, she got tired and she wanted to go home. She went home early. I don’t know. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time.

Brooke: So, you didn’t argue or…

Rj: No. Nothing. Nothing at all. I– I don’t remember her being upset ever.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I’m sure she just wasn’t feeling well. And if that’s the case, she has her mother to take care of her. And a mother’s love is always the best medicine.

Luna: How could i have done that? This isn’t me.

Poppy: No, it’s not.

Luna: This isn’t who I am. I love rj. I would never cheat on him. Never. But I did. I cheated on the most wonderful guy. I mean, why would I even do that? How could I do that?

Poppy: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

Luna: Mom, what are you talking about? What are you saying? Open your eyes bigger.

Eric: You had a good time last night, didn’t you?

Zende: At the party? Yeah, yeah, it was cool.

Eric: Good. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.

Zende: Yeah, you really pulled it together at the last minute there. An engagement and a wedding on the same night. Pretty badass.

Eric: Badass. That’s nice. I’m not called that very often. I think I like it. I had a lot of help pulling it off, though. Really.

Zende: Yeah, I don’t know how you manage it all. And you’re still recovering from a serious illness.

Eric: I feel pretty energized these days. Being married to a younger woman can really do that for a man, you know? I couldn’t wait to marry donna.

Zende: After all you’ve been through, I bet.

Eric: Look, when you know, you know, right? Why put it off?

Zende: I’m happy for you, granddad.

Eric: You know, zende, there’s a cure for what you’re feeling, right now?

Zende: What?

Eric: Yeah, um you know, a lot of water and– and some aspirin, some vitamin b, maybe a little hair of the dog, some people say.

Zende: I’m not hungover.

Eric: Are you sure? You’re not just feeling the effects of the evening? It’s nothing to be ashamed of, zende. It was a really fun evening. Everybody was drinking a lot of champagne, having a lot of fun. Everyone, everyone was. I’m just– I’m just glad there were no, you know, big slip-ups for the evening. It was a really unexpected night, wasn’t it?

Zende: Totally unexpected. So that’s– that’s what love can do, you know?

Zende: Love?

Eric: Yeah, love.

Rj: Is it pathetic that I already miss luna?

Brooke: No, honey. I think it’s sweet.

Rj: It’s just that I’m just so used to seeing her every morning. It’s just, it feels like weird to me that she’s not here, you know? And– and it’s very unlike her not to text me when she first wakes up, you know? And then, when I do call her and she does pick up this morning, there’s this tone in her voice that was just like, you know, like I’ve never heard that tone in her voice before.

Brooke: It can’t be something too horrible. I mean, what’s the worst it could be?

Rj: I don’t know. Maybe she’s mad at me?

Brooke: I highly doubt it. And if she is, I’m sure the two of you could talk through it, right?

Rj: Yeah, I guess. I mean, we’ve had a pretty solid track record so far. We’ve– I don’t think we’ve had a single disagreement since we first met each other at granddad’S.

Brooke: I just can’t believe that you two met in the forrester mansion the same way your father and I met. It’s crazy. I look back at that time and I remember it fondly. Your father and I have had our ups and downs, but we will always have that intense connection. And now you and luna are together. I just hope your road will be much smoother.

Poppy: I am so sorry, baby. And I hope you can forgive me.

Luna: Mom, you’re making no sense. This isn’t about you. You weren’t there at zende’s last night.

Poppy: I know, but it was my fault.

Luna: How? If you’re– if you’re gonna try and blame this on my upbringing, you have nothing to feel guilty about.

Poppy: No, no, it’s not about–

Luna: Then what is it? I’m the one that slept with zende. How is this possibly your fault?

Poppy: It was a mistake, and I am so sorry.

Luna: Would you stop? What do you have to feel sorry about?

Poppy: I think I know what happened to you last night. I would’ve called yesterday.

Eric: I was actually surprised you didn’t bring anybody with you last night.

Zende: Well, in all fairness, you hardly gave me a heads up.

Eric: I guess I didn’t, did I? I’m sorry about that. I just want to assure you, you’re welcome to bring anyone with you anytime you come to the forrester– you know that.

Zende: Yeah, yeah, no. I just wanted to focus on you being with the family.

Eric: I understand that. Sometimes, it’s easier not to worry about if someone’s being entertained or not, or if they’re just happy just being with you, you know. Although, who wouldn’t have had a good time last night? It was definitely an evening to remember.

Zende: Definitely.

Eric: And you’re out there though, aren’t you? I mean, look at you. You’re this incredibly eligible young man, right? You’re handsome, you’re accomplished. You’re a forrester, for god’s sake. Any woman would be lucky to be on your arm.

Zende: I appreciate that, granddad.

Eric: You’re ready, aren’t you? I mean, you’re ready to find that someone special, aren’t you?

Zende: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Eric: You already found her?

Rj: Yeah, I mean, I guess we were bound to get on each other’s nerves at some point.

Brooke: Happens every once in a while.

Rj: Yeah, I just can’t imagine it with luna though. I’m such a huge fan of everything she does. Except, you know what, there is one point of contention between us, and that’s the air. She likes it freezing cold for some reason.

Brooke: Oh, my gosh, that could be a problem.

Rj: I don’t know. Honestly, now that I think about it, I mean, we’re just kind of like the most annoyingly compatible pair ever.

Brooke: That’s good. You’re a perfect match. I mean, there’s always setbacks and every relationship has its challenges.

Rj: Yeah. You and dad have been through some really tough times.

Brooke: But it’s only made us stronger.

Rj: Yeah, and– and that’s good and all, but honestly, I would like to avoid all of the drama with luna if I could.

Luna: You know what happened to me last night?

Poppy: Tell me again what you were feeling.

Luna: Mom, please.

Poppy: Please, luna, just go over it again. Tell me what you were feeling.

Luna: Um, I was having fun at the party and then suddenly, I got like really tired, so I told rj that I was gonna head home, and he offered to drive me, but I insisted that I’m fine, and I’d just order a car like I usually do. Then, I was walking outside and I saw water bottles in one of the guest houses. For some reason, I was like unbelievably thirsty. So, I went in the room and grabbed some water. I don’t know, I must have laid down and fallen asleep. I– I seriously remember looking up and seeing rj. Like, he looked so sweet and gorgeous. I don’t understand how I saw him instead of zende. It’s almost like, I don’t know, like I was hallucinating or something. It makes no sense.

Poppy: But you said you had some champagne.

Luna: Yeah, like a little. Like, I don’t know, one or two glasses.

Poppy: And not much to eat.

Luna: Barely. But that’s not it. That doesn’t explain anything. I don’t understand. Why did this happen, mom? Why? A mystery!

Eric: Don’t be discouraged, you know. She’s out there. That girl’s out there for you right now.

Zende: I believe that.

Eric: I’ve been very lucky in my life to have… I’ve had some wonderful women to share my life with. The amazing stephanie, you know. And now– and now this beautiful young wife, donna. It feels kind of really fun for me to say that again. My wife.

Zende: Marriage really suits you, granddad. I haven’t seen you smile this much in a long time.

Eric: That’s right. I mean, look at this. I have this career. I have– I have everything I need in this life. And then, to have this wonderful, wonderful, beautiful, lovely wife. It’s just icing on the cake.

Zende: I bet.

Eric: You’ll find her, zende, you will. And when you do, I know you. You’ll treat her with– with love and kindness and respect. Because that’s who you are. You’ll make her very happy.

Rj: I know I make luna happy, mom. I just want to protect her from all the drama.

Brooke: Our family? Drama?

Rj: Yeah. It’s shocking. It’s like we attract it. Like it’s in our blood. It’s really fun.

Brooke: Well, you are half logan and half forrester.

Rj: Yes, correct. I come from two lines of constant public scandal. It’s great. I would just– I would just like to personally, I’d just like to tone it down a little bit. That’s all.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I can understand you wanting to avoid the turmoil that your father and I have lived through, but I don’t think you and luna are gonna make the same mistakes.

Rj: I just– I’ve never had a connection with a woman like this before. Ever. I mean, I– I just trust her. Completely.

Brooke: I am so happy for you, sweetheart. I really am.

Luna: It was rj’s face, mom. I swear, I saw his face. He was there. And I thought that he was the one that was in bed with me and that’s why I did what I did. I mean, only with rj. He’s the guy that I love.

Poppy: I know, baby.

Luna: I mean, how could i do this? I– there’s no explanation. It– it doesn’t make any sense. No one at the forrester estate would drug me. That’s– that’s impossible. They would never do anything to hurt me, so… so what could it be?

Poppy: Do you remember earlier when you said you had some mints?

Luna: Yeah, I always do.

Poppy: Oh, my god! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Luna: What– what are you freaking out about?

Poppy: I messed up so bad, sweetie, and I’m so sorry.

Luna: For what?

Poppy: These are my mints. And I couldn’t find them.

Luna: Mom, I don’t care about your stupid mints. What does this have to do with me?

Poppy: Everything. You know how I get anxious sometimes? And some people, they have a glass of wine, to unwind, or a cocktail, but I don’t drink. So, I found something that works for me. And– and I thought they were harmless. Until now, until this very moment. Somehow, you accidentally got my mints. They’re not regular mints, sweetheart.

Luna: What?

Poppy: It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I am so sorry. I am so incredibly sorry.

Luna: Mom, what are you saying right now? What are you telling me? That me waking up in zende’s bed this morning was because of you and your mints? Oh, my god! Oh, my god! I got drugged by my own mother?

Zende: Hey, where are you–

Luna: I’m leaving. Now.

Zende: Wait, luna, luna. We’ve gotta talk about this some more.

Luna: Talking won’t fix anything.

Zende: No, it won’t fix what happened between us, no. But look, I realize what you thought.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it. But, you do know that what happened between us, what we shared, it was consensual, right? I would never–

Luna: I know that. It doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did. But now… what have I done? How could I do this to him?

Brooke: I still can’t get over it. Can you?

Rj: What?

Brooke: Your grandfather’s and donna’s impromptu wedding last night. Well, when I guess it’s right, it’s right. Right? Rj? Are you okay?

Rj: Yeah. Sorry, it’s probably nothing. Um, I just– I called and i texted luna and nothing. She hasn’t– she hasn’t responded to me.

Poppy: I told you, li, stop lecturing me. I don’t need parenting advice from you.

Li: Yes, you do. Or you wouldn’t be living your life this way. You and your special mints. And whatever other recreational drugs you indulge in these days. You’re hardly a shining example of motherhood for your daughter.

Poppy: Like you’ve always been for your son.

Li: No, don’t try to turn this back on me, penelope. I’ve lived a good and decent life.

Poppy: Yeah, but you never let me forget.

Li: In hopes you’d turn your life around.

Poppy: I am sorry that I can’t be a paragon of virtue like you.

Li: Hm… I’m no paragon of virtue. But I would never conduct myself the way you do. You’re a mother. Supposed to set an example. Do you want luna to start taking drugs too?

Poppy: Luna is a grown woman. She’s not a child.

Li: Oh, please. That’s your excuse?

Poppy: What I am doing is not harming me or my daughter. And I wish you’d get that through your skull. All right? I know what I’m doing.

Li: Hm. Really? Does luna? You said she doesn’T. Claimed you kept this part of your life from her.

Poppy: I have.

Li: I hope so. Because if you haven’t, you and your mints will lead to nothing but trouble for that girl, penelope. Big trouble.

Brooke: I know luna went home early last night. You said she was feeling tired.

Rj: Yeah.

Brooke: Maybe she was just under the weather. Slept in.

Rj: Oh, yeah. Maybe. You know, still though, if something’s wrong, I want to help her. I just– I’ve gotten to know luna so well over these last couple months. She’s just like, I respect her so much and I– I love how she lives her life and everything she values. I just can’t imagine anything would come between us.

Luna: I can’t– I can’t stay here. The longer I’m here, the more guilty I feel.

Zende: That’s just it though. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Luna: How can you say that after what– after what we’ve done?

Zende: Can we just sit down and try to talk through this?

Luna: Talking won’t help. Nothing’s gonna help.

Zende: You are upset. You have been through a shock, but I’ll say it again, luna. What we shared, it was so beautiful.

Luna: No, no. Rj’s my boyfriend. And I love him and he trusts me, but now that trust is broken.

Zende: Freaking out like this–

Luna: I woke up thinking that was rj. Only to find out that it was you. My god, zende, what if he…

Zende: He’s not going to find out about this. And we used protection.

Luna: Oh, my god. I can’t– I can’t hear about this right now, okay? I– I need to call a car. I– I need to go home and shower and change. Oh, my god, rj’s been trying to reach me. How will I face him after what I’ve done? (Crowd cheers)

Poppy: You are so quick to judge.

Li: Only where you and your lifestyle choices are concerned.

Poppy: Uh, no. You’ve always been like this. Expecting everyone to meet your insanely rigid standards, okay? And when they don’t or can’t, you turn on them. Like you did with me. Like you’re doing right now.

Li: No, I’m concerned about your daughter. And you would be too if you weren’t so selfish and self-absorbed.

Poppy: Okay. Luna is fine. She’s happy. She’s in love. Do you even know what that is? To truly love someone?

Li: How dare you?

Poppy: How dare you? Saying that my daughter’s in for big trouble because of me. Luna knows how much she means to me.

Li: Really? Just not enough for you to stop popping your precious mints? Penelope, you need to stop taking that stuff before something terrible happens.

Brooke: You never talked much about your love life before.

Rj: Before luna, you mean?

Brooke: I assume you dated quite a bit. You are your father’s son after all.

Rj: Yeah. Well, from what I’ve heard, dad was, uh, popular in his day, wasn’t he?

Brooke: Oh, yes, he was. There wasn’t one girl in town that didn’t want to be seen on ridge forrester’s arm.

Rj: Including you, though.

Brooke: Well, I was a caterer’s daughter, remember? And the odds were astronomical.

Rj: But you did.

Brooke: I did. I ended up with him. We were destined to be together. And the same could be for you and luna. Not that I’m pressing things. Only if it’s meant to be.

Rj: No, it’s– honestly, I’ve– I’ve been thinking that more and more lately. And I– I just wish that she’d respond to me.

Brooke: Well, why don’t you just reach out to her again if you’re so worried?

Zende: Are you sure that I, uh, can’t drive you home?

Luna: My ride will be here soon.

Zende: Okay, but you’re still so upset. Is there nothing I can do for you?

Luna: No.

Zende: I just hate seeing you like this.

[ Phone rings ] Is that…

Luna: Hi.

Rj: Hi. Oh good, you’re alive. ‘Cause I’ve just been calling and, um, texting you.

Luna: Yeah, I’m sorry.

Rj: No, no, no, no, no, no. There’s nothing to be sorry about. I just, uh, I know you were tired last night and you left granddad’s party early, so I just– I just wanted to make sure you’re– you’re all right. Hey, luna, you still there?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Rj: Are you all right?

Luna: Um, no, not really. I, um, I don’t really feel like myself.

Rj: Okay. Um, well, maybe I can come over, bring you whatever you want.

Luna: That’s really sweet, rj. Um, and I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Um, I– I– I gotta go.

Zende: It kills me to see you like this.

Luna: I don’t understand what happened last night. It was rj. I swear to god, I thought it was rj. My life is full of questions…

Brooke: So, is luna okay? Is she sick?

Rj: Um, I’m not sure.

Brooke: She didn’t say?

Rj: No, not really. She said that she, uh, she wasn’t feeling like herself.

Brooke: Well, I heard you offer to go over there and help her in any way that you can. That was sweet of you.

Rj: Yeah, luna said that too.

Brooke: Well, if you want to head out…

Rj: No, I– it’s, I don’t think I should.

Brooke: Why?

Rj: I– I don’t know. It’s just– I was on the call with her and she said that she was really sorry. And then– and then she, like, hung up really fast.

Brooke: Maybe she just prefers to be alone right now.

Rj: Maybe you’re– maybe she’s just sick. She’s not feeling well. She prefers to be alone. Honestly, I’m the same way. I– I get that. Yeah.

Brooke: But you still can’t help worrying about her.

Rj: Well, I mean, you know, poppy’s with her. She’s got her mom to take care of her. Obviously, she’s fine there. It’s just– I don’t know. I kind of feel like something’s off.

[ Zende sobbing ]

Poppy: Hey, there she is. I was wondering when you’d get home. So, I want all the details. How was the party? How was the soiree at eric’s? Who was there? What happened after you left? I mean, I can probably guess what happened. Rj drove you to malibu and you had the most romantic time, just the two of you. Oh, baby, I am so happy for you… honey, what’s wrong? What happened? Did you and rj have a fight? Did you guys break up? Talk to me. Tell me what happened.

Luna: We’re still together. For now.

Poppy: For now? Okay, then why are you so upset?

Luna: Because I’m scared. I just ruined everything.

Poppy: Oh, honey, I’m sure that’s not true.

Luna: I’m still just trying to wrap my head around how something like that could happen. It’s not what you think, mom. I didn’t– I didn’t wake up in rj’s bed this morning. I woke up in zende’S. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Brooke: It’s amazing how fast things change, right? Think, just a year ago you were traveling the world and now you’re here. Working in the family business.Ha a place of your own, and you have a girlfriend that you’re crazy about.

Rj: No, you’re right. My life definitely has changed a lot in a very short amount of time.

Brooke: Yeah, I’m sure that luna feels like that, too. A lot’s changed for her. For the better. Especially your relationship.

Rj: You know, I know you’re probably getting tired of me saying it, but she– she really is, she’s just– she’s smart. And she’s beautiful. She’s– she’s funny. She really loves me.

Brooke: Well, of course. I mean, how could she not? Look at you. You’re absolutely gorgeous. And you’re– you’re sweet. You’re kind. You’re caring.

Rj: Thank you, mom. I just hope she’s doing okay.

Brooke: Honey, she i and she’s got her mom there taking care of her, right?

Rj: Right, yes. Poppy’s taking great care of her, of course.

Poppy: You were with zende? Zende forrester?

Luna: Yeah, he was at the party last night.

Poppy: And?

Luna: And, when I woke up this morning, I didn’t know where I was. I thought I was at the beach house with rj.

Poppy: But you were really with zende? My god, honey. What in the world happened to you last night?

Luna: I don’t know. I mean, I’m still so confused about it.

Poppy: You don’t remember anything? Anything at all?

Luna: No. I just know that I wasn’t myself.

Poppy: Well, of course, you weren’t yourself. You don’t wind up in other men’s beds. The only guy you’ve been with is rj.

Luna: Not anymore. Hi, you.

Zende: You’re here…

Luna: Waiting for you. I mean, it was consensual, but I was so sure that it was rj. I mean, I literally saw his face, mom. He was right there. I know how it sounds, and I– I can’t explain it. I wish I could, but I can’T. And– and zende didn’t do anything wrong. I mean, this isn’t his fault. It’s mine.

Poppy: Hey, sweetheart. Hey, listen to me. Whatever happened, however–

Luna: I– I know it sounds crazy, but there has to be some sort of explanation, right? So please just help me figure this out.

Poppy: Oh, honey, I wish I could.

Luna: Maybe, maybe, I don’t know. I must have be oe who’been drugged? Do you think that could be it?

Poppy: Could someone have drugged you?

Luna: I don’t know. I mean, I was at the forrester house, not a club. I wasn’t covering my drink like I would do at a bar, but why would I?

Poppy: Exactly. You were with people that you like and respect and who like and respect you.

Luna: Yeah, including zende. And no one in that house would do anything to hurt me. It just– it makes no sense. Like, I didn’t even have that much to drink. I had, like, I don’t know, like a couple drinks, a couple glasses.

Poppy: How much did you have to eat?

Luna: I don’t know. Like, barely anything. Probably had more mints than anything else.

Poppy: Mints?

Luna: I’ve never felt this way before, mom. Why is this happening to me, mom? Why?

[Relaxing music]

Ridge: Get her here when you can. Oh. All right, I will. Thank you. Man, last night was one for the record books, huh?

Brooke: Yes, it was.

Ridge: Oh, I’m not talking about dad’s party.

Brooke: Oh.

Ridge: Oh.

Brooke: Yeah. But I am thrilled for donna and eric. They got engaged and then they got married.

Ridge: I’m happy for dad. Everything he went through.

Brooke: And in one magical night, all of donna’s dreams came true.

Ridge: That’s my dad. The master of romance, like I said.

Brooke: Hmm. Well, you’re not so bad yourself.

Ridge: No?

Brooke: No.

Poppy: Where are my mints?

[ Knocking on door ] Li, please, do come in. Make yourself at home. Well, you’re the last person I expected.

Li: Well, I had to see it for myself. Where you lure and seduce helpless, older, but very wealthy men.

Poppy: Oh.

Li: Healthy attitude, penelope. Barely in town and already you’ve gone straight to the top. Targeting the mighty bill spencer himself. And luna, she’s learned her lessons very well. Cozying up to rj forrester.

[ Phone chiming ]

Brooke: Oh, boy. Let me…

Ridge: Okay, that’s good news. Uh, it’s dad. He is gonna stay home today with donna. Which makes me happy because I had this whole nightmare about him running around town telling everybody how happy he is, forgetting about the recovery he needs to go through.

Brooke: Right. Well, donna would never let that happen. Now that she’s mrs. Eric forrester, she’s gonna boss him around. And I mean that in the best way possible.

Ridge: No, I think you’re right. She’s– she’s good at that. I mean, he doesn’t listen to me ever, but she seems to have A… a lighter touch. Kinda like her sister. Have I told you lately how much I like hanging out with you?

Brooke: Uh… I think I remember you saying that once or twice last night. But I certainly would like to hear it again.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: I like hanging out with you.

Brooke: I love you.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Love you.

Poppy: I don’t appreciate you barging in here unannounced, insulting me and my daughter, judging me, all right? If you find it so distasteful, there’s a very simple solution. Just stay away.

Li: You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Me turning a blind eye so you and luna can take advantage of every rich man you come across? You may not have your hooks all the way into bill spencer yet, but luna’s, she has steffy’s younger brother wrapped around her finger. It’s only a matter of time before she breaks that boy’s heart.

Zende: Coffee?

Luna: Oh, thank god. My head is pounding. You’re always so thoughtful. Zende? Wait, what are you doing here?

[ Zende chuckling ]

Zende: I, uh… I live here.

Luna: No, no, you don’t live… wait, where’s rj?

Zende: Rj?

Luna: Where– where is he?

Zende: I, um… I– I don’t know, luna, but he’s definitely not here.

[]

Poppy: Why do you hate luna and me so much?

Li: I don’t hate you.

Poppy: Well, you could’ve fooled me. And you’re always so angry and so harsh. You know, we’ve never been close as sisters should be. And it’s not like I haven’t tried, but you constantly shut me out.

Li: What you interpret as anger is disapproval of you. Your choices. The decisions you make. And don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Poppy: Because I’ve had lovers in my life?

Li: Not just one or two, poppy, a parade of them. All with two things in common. All very handsome, all very rich. And bill spencer more than fits that criteria. In fact, he just may be the jackpot you’ve been aiming for. It’s not only your promiscuous behavior that disgusts me. It’s how you live your life.

Poppy: Oh, so now my breathing offends you.

Li: You always say you’re so carefree. Carefree. Isn’t that just a euphemism for taking drugs? Your mints. I know about them. I don’t miss much and I’m good at putting pieces together. I watch you. I see you reaching into your purse for your little stash. I’m not just your sister, penelope. I’m a doctor. You can’t hide from me.

>>Okroe: Donna woke up this morning as mrs. Eric forrester. Something she didn’t expect. I’m so happy for the two of them.

Ridge: It’s amazing, really. You know, we almost lost dad, and now… starting a whole new chapter with the woman he loves.

Brooke: Eric’s journey is a miracle.

Rj: Oh, yeah. I can agree with that. Hi.

Brooke: We were talking about last night.

Rj: Interesting night. Granddad’s full of surprises, still, apparently. Um, no, it was– it was great. It was great seeing him so happy. Donna really does that for him, so.

Brooke: Speaking of happy, there’s you and luna.

[ Rj chuckling ]

Rj: We’re happy. She’s, um, she’s amazing.

Ridge: And how did you like the impromptu evening?

Rj: It meant a lot to her, too. That granddad specifically invited her.

Ridge: Well, he’s very high on luna. And you are, too, I guess.

Luna: Oh, my god. What happened? What am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what I asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Luna: Last night. The party. I was so tired, so I left. And then I was so thirsty. And I saw the water bottle through the window. And I came in here to drink it.

Zende: And I came home. And I found you here. Waiting for me.

Luna: For you?

Zende: Uh, who else lives here?

Luna: Okay, I need to know exactly what happened last night.

Zende: You know what happened. In all my travels I’ve never seen such dry skin.

Li: You look so shocked. Like you actually thought you were fooling me. I’ve always been and always will be three steps ahead of you, penelope. It’s not because I’m great. It’s because you squandered every bit of potential you ever had. Such a disappointment. You and your loose morals. The way you treat your body, my god, penelope.

Poppy: All right, well, is this all you came to say? Because I have heard it all before. You can leave now.

Li: I don’t back down that easy, you know that. You’ll always hear the truth from me. And the truth is, you’re a druggie.

Poppy: All right, that is not true.

Li: No? How long have you been taking your so-called mints? Huh? How many times a week? A day? Do you leave home without them or are they always in your reach? Do you even know what’s in them?

Poppy: Hey, it is not like that anymore, li, okay? It’s not the way you’re making it sound. Yes, I take mints because they give me a little lift, right? I don’t drink alcohol.

Li: Oh, come on. Penelope, you’re a grown woman. You’re a mother living with your child. What are you thinking?

Brooke: Your father and i haven’t wanted to stick our noses into your love life.

Rj: Really? Since when?

Ridge: We’re not that bad, really.

Rj: No, it’s okay. You’re not that bad. But, no, it’s totally fine. Actually, I gotta check myself sometimes. I talk about her a lot.

Ridge: She is a lovely young lady.

Rj: You know, when I came to L.A., I did not have my mind on getting in a relationship at all. I was just planning on coming here to visit and see you guys and talk, and then I was just gonna hit the road again.

Rj: Well, there you go. Best laid plans, son.

Rj: Yeah, and I just met the most beautiful girl and got sidetracked. But she turned out to be so much more than that. I mean, she’s sweet, she’s kind, she’s caring. She really gets me, you know? And this whole situation with granddad, too. She was really supportive through all of it. And we got a lot closer because of that.

Brooke: Yeah, you can see how close you’re getting every single day.

Rj: Yeah, and, um, I, uh, you bring that up, I wanted to talk to you about that. Um, so, we’re not only, you know, just dating anymore. We’re a little more serious.

Ridge: Really? Yeah. I’m happy for you, son.

Brooke: I am, too.

Rj: So, you guys– you guys approve?

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Wholeheartedly. Yes.

Rj: She’s really special. I love her.

Luna: Throw me that robe. Turn around.

Zende: Um, are you, uh, upset with me? What we shared last night was incredible. You were amazing, so free and, uh, uninhibited.

Luna: No, no, no, no, no, no. What happened to me?

Feeling claritin clear

is like…

Li: Sometimes I think back, how happy I was to have a little sister. I thought we’d be each other’s rocks. Best friends forever.

Poppy: We were. Until I got old enough to think for myself and stopped blindly following you around.

Li: You changed into a different person. Someone I didn’t recognize anymore. Abandoning the moral structure our parents set for us. Running wild. Living your unorthodox lifestyle.

Poppy: We don’t all have to be the same, okay? I can be me, and you can be you, and we can still be close as sisters should be.

Li: Those days are far behind us.

Poppy: They don’t have to be.

Li: How can I be close to someone who constantly makes choices that I don’t respect? Popping your pills? You’re a mother, penelope. Do you even think of the example you’re setting, still set, for your daughter?

Poppy: Luna is a– a bright and sweet and caring young woman, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Li: Luna’s a gold digger, just like her mother.

Poppy: Say all you want about me, I don’t care. But you will not talk about luna like that.

Li: Does she know about the mints?

Poppy: Of course not.

Li: What are they exactly?

Poppy: I– I’m a grown woman, li. I do not have to stand here and be lectured by you.

Li: You’re playing with fire, penelope. You can’t know what’s in them or how much. So be careful, you hear me? Because this can end very, very badly.

Luna: Rj and I are in love. And I waited, and it was perfect, and now I wake up here in this bed with you? I mean, what have I done?

Zende: I am, uh, suddenly really confused, too. I came home last night and you were waiting for me. What happened? It was definitely mutual. It’s something that we both wanted. I would never–

Luna: How– how did I end up here? Make that make sense!

Zende: I– I wish I could, but we didn’t do a lot of talking. Like I said, I came home after the party, and you were here. I– I– I was surprised. I didn’t think that you would take my invitation seriously.

Luna: Invitation? What invitation?

Zende: Remember, I told you that I lived on the property and that you would always know where to find me.

Luna: No, no, no. This isn’t me waiting for you. I love rj. I– I would never do this.

Zende: But luna, you did. Hey, hey, I can tell how upset you are right now, and that is the last thing that I want. If you couldn’t tell, I’m crazy about you.

Luna: No, please, please, please don’t say that.

Zende: You really don’t remember how incredible it was? How beautiful? I thought that–

I– I saw rj. It was him! He was here! He’s the only guy that I’ve ever– look, I don’t remember much, but he was definitely here. Okay, I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. God, my head is pounding. This makes zero sense. I’ve only had like a glass or two of champagne. Oh my god, what have I done?

Zende: I’m so sorry about whatever it is that is happening right now, but you believe me, don’t you? I would never take advantage of–

Luna: Yes, I know that. I know. I believe you. I remember enough to know that. How could I? Rj loves me and trusts me, and this is what I do to him? I mean, I come to L.A., And I fall in love with the most wonderful guy in the world, who stands by me and believes in me, and this is what I do to him. I betray him like this. How could I– how could I do this to him? How could I?

[ Mellow music playing]

Brooke: Did that seriously just happen? Eric pulling a ring out of nowhere.

Zende: And an entire wedding ceremony.

Katie: You did great, babe.

Carter: Ah, thank you.

Ridge: A forrester ceremony can’t be a challenge for you anymore, can it?

Carter: Well, usually I have more time to prepare. But, um, when you have two people who are clearly made for each other… words tend to come pretty easily.

Donna: You hear that, honey bear? Clearly made for each other.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Yeah.

Luna: No, what are you doing?

Rj: I had to tell you something. I couldn’t wait another second.

Luna: What?

Rj: I love you.

Luna: Oh, hold on.

Rj: Hang on what? A mint? Right now?

Luna: Okay.

Poppy: Bill, you’re making me uncomfortable looking at me like that.

Bill: Look, I’m not– I’m not trying to make you uncomfortae. Come on, poppy, the stakes are pretty high. I’ve got to ask you again. Are you absolutely certain there’s no chance I’m luna’s father?

Poppy: Bill, I already told you.

Waitress: Here we go, guys.

Bill: Thank you. Thanks. You already told me what you think I want to hear or the truth? Because I– I can’t help feeling like you are covering. Maybe out of concern for my reaction. I wouldn’t be upset, poppy. In fact, quite the opposite. If luna is my daughter, I would look after her. I would do everything I could to make up for lost time. Wel– welcome her into the spencer family, if that’s what you and she wanted. So I’m gonna ask you again. Is luna my daughter?

Luna: Congrats to you both.

Donna: Oh, thank you.

Rj: You know what? I should’ve known. I should’ve known that you were up to something. You were so adamant to throw a party. I’m kicking myself.

Eric: You missed the clues, my boy. You missed them. Listen, um, I want to thank you for all the care and concern that we’ve felt from you the last few months. That support’s been very important to us. And you two are very important to the two of us. I see a big future ahead for you. Look at these numbers, just look at them.

Poppy: I’m so impressed with your willingness to step up and embrace luna. And I think you’re remarkable. But she’s not your daughter. I mean, as much as I would want that for her, the doors that it would open. But you’re not. I mean it, bill.

Bill: But you know who is.

Poppy: I know it’s not you.

Bill: So it never bothered you, not having another parent involved?

Poppy: I’m happy with the way things are. Luna and me. It’s our power, as we like to say.

Bill: Okay.

Poppy: I am touched by how much you would have wanted it, and that you would have accepted her.

Bill: She’s an incredible young woman.

Poppy: She is. I mean, moving to los angeles, interning at forrester. I mean, falling for rj. She couldn’t be happier.

Rj: Oh, what’s this– what’s this little look in your eye?

Luna: What do you mean?

Rj: You seem– you’re like all relaxed. You’re very like, zen, I guess.

Luna: Hmm, I don’t know. It makes sense? It kind of feels like we can now.

Rj: Finally.

[ Phone rings ]

Rj: I gotta take this. I’ll be right back, okay?

Luna: Okay.

Katie: I’m so happy for you.

Donna: Can you believe it?

Katie: Well, yes, I can. You’ve been going down this road for a while.

Donna: Oh, yeah.

Carter: Hey, eric, I have to say you made a wise choice.

Eric: Don’t I know it. Thank you.

Donna: And thank you for officiating. It was a bit of an ambush, I know.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Carter: It was my honor.

Ridge: Well, dad, you have proven it once again.

Eric: Proven what?

Ridge: That you are the master of romance. No one can touch you.

Eric: I’m not sure about that.

Brooke: Oh, it’s true, eric. A surprise wedding? We were swooning right alongside donna.

Eric: I simply could not go another day without being her husband.

Zende: Where you hiding him?

Luna: Huh?

Zende: Rj. He’s barely left your side all night. But I get it. If I were him, I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t either. Someone as beautiful as you, nah.

Luna: Um, he just took a phone call. He should be right back.

Zende: Okay. If he gets lost, let me know. And don’t forget, I live right here on the property. In the guest house. If you ever need me, you know where to find me.

Luna: Okay.

Rj: Hi.

Luna: Hi.

Eric: Everyone, if I may, um, I’d like to raise a toast to my beautiful, wonderful wife. This woman never ceases to amaze me. You bring me such happiness and joy, every day. I think loving you is wonderful, but… being loved by you is, I think, the happiest moment of my life. So… to you. To donna logan-forrester.

Brooke: Wow. Yes.

Eric: Cheers.

All: Cheers. Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

Bill: Your sister doesn’t know you very well, does she? The real you.

Poppy: Um, no, not really. What made you think of that?

Bill: Well, there’s a certain kind of woman who would try to take advantage. Pin a child on me that wasn’t even mine. Li thinks you’re a gold digger. Clearly, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Poppy: It might be hard for you to understand, given your wealth and immense resources, but I’ve always been content having very little. Just a simple, pleasant life. Me and my daughter.

Bill: You know what? I’m gonna order another drink.

Waitress: Right away.

Bill: Thank you. You sure I can’t get you a glass of wine? Maybe something stronger? And I know you have your own way to unwind.

Poppy: No, I’m good, thanks. Not if I have my…

Bill: Something missing?

Brooke: Just promise to never go to bed angry.

Ridge: Good.

Brooke: Okay?

Donna: Good advice, sis, but, um, I’m pretty sure I’m never gonna be angry at this man. Not before bed, not in the morning. Never, never, never.

Eric: Pure wedded bliss, right?

Donna: Right.

Eric: Except for the very rare occasion when she denies me a nice evening martini. But that’s– that’s– that’s not so much anger, it’s just irritation.

Donna: What?

Rj: Hey, are you okay?

Luna: Yeah, I’m just like a little tired.

Ridge: Donna, the way you fought for my dad, the way you stood by him, um, there’s not a doubt in my mind you guys are gonna have a long and happy marriage. So, here’s to you and my dad. Love you guys. Cheers.

All: Cheers. Donna and eric.

Donna: Thank you, ridge, and, um, well, thanks to everybody for, uh, all the kind words. But, um, mostly thanks to you for this wonderful surprise. I can’t believe I get to call you my husband again. The kindest, most handsome man. A man that I thought I was gonna lose. And I’m so grateful for, um, having more time to, uh, have more surprises like this.

Eric: Okay.

Donna: More time with the one true love of my life, eric forrester.

Eric: Thank you. Look over there. Look over there.

Rj: Couldn’t be happier for them.

Luna: Seriously.

Rj: Yeah. Come here.

Luna: Ooh, hold on. Hold this. Thank you.

Bill: Can’t find your mints?

Poppy: No. They’re not here.

Rj: You’re perfect, so I’m gonna be right back. Okay? All right, one second. My lady, come here.

Donna: Oh, oh, why, thank you.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Zende: I have not been able to take my eyes off you tonight.

[ Luna chuckling ] Really?

Zende: Yeah. Something’s different about you. You’re, like, glowing. Look at you shedding that shy intern image.

Luna: Well, I’m only shy until you get to know me better.

Zende: Invitation accepted. Really, though, I would like that. To get to know you better. And if you ever get bored of rj, remember, my door is always open. Right across the courtyard.

Rj: Hello.

Luna: Hi.

Rj: Are you okay?

Luna: Yeah, I just got really tired all of a sudden. Um, I think it’s best if I just go home.

Rj: Really?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, I’m sorry, I don’t want to disappoint.

Rj: No, no, you’re not– you’re not disappointing. It’s okay.

Luna: Thank you for being understanding. You’re so sweet, rj. I love you so much. When barbara switched to turbotax…

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Luna: Please thank your grandfather and donna for me.

Rj: You don’t wanna say goodbye?

Luna: No, I do, I do, but I think it’s best if I just slip out.

Rj: I– I could drive you.

Luna: No, no, no. That’s sweet. You’re so sweet, but I’m okay. I mean, your grandfather just got married, so you should stay. I’ll just order a ride.

Rj: You’re sure?

Luna: Yes, I’m sure. Ooh, I love you so much. You’re like the dream boyfriend, you know that?

Rj: As long as you think so.

Luna: I do. And I agree with what your granddad said about us. About us having a beautiful future ahead of us. Okay.

Rj: Be safe.

Bill: Your little happy mints. Where do you think you left them?

Poppy: I have no idea.

Luna: I’m so thirsty.

Zende: I think I’m gonna call it a night.

Eric: What, already?

Zende: Yeah, keep the racket down, will you?

Eric: Okay, I’ll do– I’ll do my best.

Zende: I’m happy for you. Congratulations.

Eric: Thank you.

Donna: Thank you.

Eric: Nice, huh?

Donna: Yeah.

Rj: Hey.

Eric: Where’s– where’s luna?

Rj: Uh, she was exhausted and she decided to head home early. But she wanted me to tell you just how happy she was that you invited her and that she had a great time.

Donna: Aw, look at us, we’re outlasting the young people.

Rj: Ah, you’re cool, huh?

Eric: Well, I’m sure you and luna are gonna have many, many nights to celebrate in your future. She’s a terrific girl. Don’t let her go.

Rj: I won’T.

[ Mellow music ]

Zende: Luna? Hello, luna.

[ Luna giggles ]

Luna: Hi, you.

Rj’s voice: You’re here.

Luna: Waiting for you.

Donna: Eric…

Eric: Donna, I love you. I want you to be my wife. I– I want you to marry me. I want you to give me some kind of an answer before I have to sit down here for very long.

Donna: Please get up. Get up.

Eric: Thank you. Thank you. Thanks.

Donna: Yes.

Eric: Yes?

Donna: Yes, of course, I’ll marry you. Yes.

Eric: Okay, okay come here. Come here. Mm.

Donna: It’s so beautiful. Eric… I love you.

Eric: Thank you.

Poppy: I’m really glad sheila’s not here.

Bill: Yeah, that dimwit deacon neither.

[ Poppy chuckles ] It really feels like our place today.

Poppy: I like that.

Bill: Look we found each other again after over 20 years.

Poppy: I still can’t believe you recognized me from across the restaurant.

Bill: I couldn’t take my eyes off you. I was drawn to you, poppy. Look, I’m– I’m not someone who is into a bunch of cosmic nonsense, but I can’t help feeling like there were forces at work reconnecting us.

Bill: You were with luna when I called earlier, right?

Poppy: Helping her get ready.

Bill: You had plans?

Poppy: No, but she did. She’s with rj at the forrester estate. I’ve never seen her so happy.

Donna: That is so beautiful.

Zende: Way to go, granddad. You were lucky she said yes.

Eric: You’re right about that, my boy.

Rj: Like there was ever any doubt.

Eric: No, I don’t think so.

Ridge: You get a second shot at life, you really take it, don’t you?

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Eric: Thank you, son. Thank you.

Carter: You’re just full of surprises, aren’t you?

Eric: Yeah, I am. And, uh, we have more to come, right? Okay, here we go.

[ Clears throat ] Listen, everybody, I’m– I’m well aware that we don’t have our whole family here, but I love everyone that’s here. Thank you. Thank you for being here with me and with donna tonight. And we have plenty of people here to celebrate a wedding.

Katie: Wait, what?

Eric: Yeah, I mean, we have witnesses and we have an officiant here. So carter’s willing, take a look.

Donna: You what? You want to get married now, tonight?

Eric: Sure, why not? What else are we going to do? You know, we’re not gonna play board games here and look at you, right? Come here. What do you say about that? You want to finish tonight as husband and wife? Come on. 3, 4

Bill: I think that rj is a reliable guy, but if he ever lets luna down, I wouldn’t hesitate to step in.

Poppy: In what way?

Bill: I know that luna doesn’t know who her father is. And maybe to some extent, she never needed one. She had a whole family in you.

Poppy: That’s right.

Bill: You’re not alone, poppy. Luna may not have a dad, but she’s got me. Did I say something wrong?

Poppy: No.

Bill: I’m just trying to be helpful.

Poppy: I know. It’s just you saying these things.

Bill: Yes. Me. I know that luna’s paternity is a sensitive subject. Her unknown father. A man that you were involved with over 20 years ago. Around the same time that we met at the music festival and spent that incredible night together. Poppy… am I luna’s father?

Donna: Okay, my head is spinning. I– I need to sit down.

Eric: Uh-huh.

Donna: First, a proposal. Now, you’re suggesting a– a wedding?

Eric: A wedding, yes. This is where weddings traditionally happen in this family. Right here in this room.

Donna: You’re serious. You– you want to get married right now?

Eric: Yes, I do. You know my new motto. Carpe diem. Seize the day, you know? And I don’t want to waste any more time in my life. Not one more second. Now you’re wearing the ring. And you’ve said that you want to marry me, so let’s do it. Let’s do it right now. Right? Carter’s here. Even he’s willing to do it, are you not, carter?

Carter: You know, when we talked earlier, I didn’t realize you meant everything today. But yes, yes, I would love to.

Donna: Okay, okay, but– but what? Okay, what about– what about steffy and– and thomas and the rest of the family?

Eric: Ah, you know, I– I would fly us off to the amalfi coast if I could, you and me. And then just do it by ourselves, but I don’t think my doctors would allow that. Come on, let’s do it here. I can’t wait, I can’t wait. I want to do it here. What do you say?

Donna: You knew I’d want my sisters with me, by my side, didn’t you?

Eric: I wanted it to be perfect for you, and it wouldn’t be otherwise if they weren’T. So?

Katie: We would be happy to stand up for you.

Brooke: Or give you a wedding.

Donna: I– I– I, um, I– I don’t even know what to say. I mean, it’s just…

Eric: I don’t want to wait. I want to do this tonight. Right now.

Donna: I don’t want to wait either. Yes. Yes. I want to become your wife, today.

Eric: It’s a wedding. It’s a wedding.

Rj: All right.

[ Cheering ]

Katie: All right.

Carter: Here we go.

Katie: Party planning, here I come. This isn’t charmin!

Bill: You don’t have to be nervous, poppy. I want to know. Am I luna’s father? I’m ready for the truth. And all the responsibility that goes with it. You know how connected I feel to you already. And I can’t help feeling that this is the reason that you and I were drawn back together.

Poppy: And maybe we have been. But luna isn’t the reason. You’re not her father, bill. It wasn’t you. It was someone else.

Katie: All right everyone, we have a wedding to put on. So, first things first. Those glasses, rj, clear them. We can have an aisleway this way. You go up there. You know the drill.

Carter: I’m familiar.

Katie: Who’s going to be our photographer?

Luna: Uh, me.

Katie: Perfect. You, head to the back of the house.

Donna: Oh, no, no, no. I don’t really have to do that.

Katie: Oh, yes you do. Don’t be silly. Brooke, come help the bride to be.

Brooke: Oh, okay, yes. I’m sorry. Here? Yeah, okay. Your flowers.

Donna: Oh, honey, thank you. How do I even look? Okay?

Brooke: You look like the blushing bride.

Donna: I do?

Katie: Okay, okay. Witnesses, up here. Brooke, that’s you.

Eric: All right, ridge, up here by me. Here, here. Okay.

Katie: Zende, cue the music.

Zende: Got your wedding march right here.

Katie: And here comes the bride.

[ Mendelssohn’s “wedding march” plays ]

Carter: Welcome, friends and family to the wedding of eric forrester and donna logan. And the fact that it’s happening at a moment’s notice, well, that’s just classic eric forrester.

Ridge: The king of the grand romantic gesture. You are.

Carter: I can’t think of a better statement of love than to propose to the woman who’s been by your side these past months. So, yes, eric, carpe diem, indeed. Now, I’m sure you want to skip to that pronounce you part, but we have to take care of some business first. Is there anyone here who believes these two should not be married? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Eric: No one better say anything. Really. You sure you want to do this like this? Because I’ll give you anything you want. The biggest wedding in the world and lots of flowers and hundreds of people attending. Do you want any of that?

Donna: Stop, stop. You can stop right there, eric. I want to marry you today. This is the wedding of my dream.

Eric: Mine too. The last time I saw people in this room, it ended very badly. There’s a small part of it that I remember, which was a calm and a peace of a life well lived, surrounded by uh, people who love me. And I love. And mostly by this incredible woman. She’s been standing next to me ever since. Thank you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Okay? So let’s get married. Are you… are you ready?

Donna: I have been waiting for this moment, eric. All of my life. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Bill: If I missed seeing luna grow up, I’d like to make up for it.

Poppy: She isn’t your daughter, bill.

Bill: How can you be sure? You said yourself the timing is close.

Poppy: But not close enough. This conversation is making me uncomfortable.

Bill: Look, I– I’m not judging you, poppy. It was your free spirit that drew me to you in the first place.

Poppy: I know, and I’m grateful for that. And I appreciate your willingness to help us, but there are no obligations.

Bill: I don’t see it as an obligation. I would be proud.

Poppy: And for caring. It’s always been the two of us. Luna and me, against the world. That’s our power.

Carter: Well, eric, it’s your rodeo. We could skip to the “I do’s”, unless you secretly prepared vows.

Eric: No, I didn’t, but I do have… I do have something I want to say.

Donna: Actually, um, me too.

Ridge: That sounds like vows, doesn’t it?

Rj: Yeah, that sounds like vows.

Carter: Eric, you can go first.

Eric: Okay. I already spilled the beans. You know, I– I already told you how much I love you. Every day is an adventure with you. I love how funny you are and how loving and sweet, and supportive. I like your um, your playful, sort of naughty side.

Carter: Wow.

[ All laughing ]

Eric: It’s your nurturing side that uh, has meant so much to me over these… over this time with you. This has been scary. We were so afraid of losing each other. I didn’t want to leave you. And so, I didn’T. I’m here. And I’m not gonna leave you. I love you. I love you forever.

Donna: Eric, my honey bear. I, uh… the thought of losing you was– was devastating. Imagining my life without the man that I love… it shattered my heart. I’m so grateful for every single, sacred moment that I have with you and I promise you– I promise you, I will never take any of it for granted. Not a single second. My god. I– I didn’t even expect this. To become mrs. Eric forrester like this. I didn’t need it. I didn’t– I didn’t need it, eric. All I needed was you. But for you to propose like this and end up with this gorgeous ring on my finger and… and insist that we get married like this. I’ve never felt more loved in my entire life than I do right now. On the verge of becoming mrs. Eric forrester.

Carter: So this is the part where I usually say something like, the promises you make today aren’t as important as the ones you keep every day in your marriage. Eric and donna, they’ve already shown us that kind of fidelity. So, on to the “I do’s”.

Luna: It’s so exciting.

Carter: Donna, do you take eric to be your husband? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him? For better or worse, in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others, be faithful to him.

Donna: Oh, my goodness.

Carter: For as long as you both shall live?

Donna: Yes, I do. You could’ve stopped a long time ago.

Carter: Eric, do you take donna to be your wife? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her? For better or worse, in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others, be faithful to her, for as long as you both shall live?

Eric: I do.

Carter: Well, without rings, I guess we can uh, skip to the end.

Eric: Well, uh…

Ridge: Yep.

Donna: Oh, you brought wedding bands. Of course you did.

Eric: Well, I was hoping that you’d say yes, so…

Carter: Okay, well, eric and donna, you have pledged your vows. You’ve declared your consent. So, let these rings remind you that even if you only have a moment, you take it. You make it count.

Donna: We will. We will.

Carter: Okay, donna, take eric’s left hand.

Eric: It’s this one here.

Donna: I knew that.

Carter: Take this ring and repeat after me. Eric, I give you this ring as a symbol of my enduring love and commitment to you.

Donna: Eric, I give you this ring as a symbol of enduring love and commitment to you.

Carter: Eric, take this ring and repeat after me. Donna, I give you this ring as a symbol of my enduring love and commitment to you.

Eric: Donna, I give you this ring as a symbol of my enduring love and commitment to you.

Carter: Eric and donna have pledged their vows, pledged their lives to each other and have shown their love to all of you witnesses. It is my absolute pleasure and honor by the power vested in me by the state of california, to pronounce you husband and wife. Eric, you may kiss your bride.

Eric: Thank you. Thank you. Hey.

Carter: And just like that, I present to you mr. And mrs. Eric forrester.

[ Upbeat music plays ]

Eric: You look dazzling.

Donna: Oh, I feel like a– a princess in this dress.

Eric: You are a princess in this dress. I had it sent over from forrester especially for you.

Donna: Eric, um, you know I’m always, always ready for a party. But I– I just really don’t want you overwhelming yourself.

Eric: I won’T. Don’t worry. This is gonna be a wondrous night. You’ll see.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Well, well, well. There’s the man of the hour.

Ridge: And we are ready to celebrate with you.

Eric: Yes, and we’re gonna celebrate today, my beautiful, darling donna.

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hey, man.

Zende: What’s up?

Rj: I don’t know. I just wanted to come over and talk to you and make sure there was no tension between us before the party.

Zende: No, no, of course. Tonight’s all about granddad. I’m surprised, uh, you’re not with your girl.

Rj: Oh, you know, she’s, uh, she’s getting ready with her mom at the office.

Zende: Well, I’m sure that luna will look beautiful tonight.

Poppy: Hello. Oh, my god, it’s beautiful. And so chic. Oh, my sweet baby. I’m so thrilled for you.

Luna: Thank you. And this look is to die for, right? I’m obsessed.

Poppy: Yes, I am too. And rj is gonna love it.

Bill: Well, so– so finish with what steff was telling you about eric.

Liam: Well, I mean, long story short, it looks like eric’s been given a clean bill of health.

Bill: Well, that’s good news.

Liam: Yeah, well, it’s good. He’s not out of the woods yet. But obviously, steffy is elated. The whole family is, um– the whole family is really relieved, dad? Hi.

Bill: What?

Liam: Okay, you’re a little distracted and I think I know why.

Liam: So, uh, when the hell do I get to meet poppy?

Bill: Look, we’re not, uh, rushing things. You– you know that poppy and I have our history.

Liam: I do. You’re not rushing things, but you still want to see where this goes, don’t you?

Bill: I do. Even though the time we spent together back in the day was relatively fleeting, it was also, um, extremely impactful. And I think it’s something that we can build on in the future.

Poppy: You’re going to have the most fabulous time.

Luna: Well, I’ll definitely have the cutest date, that’s for sure. And the best hair and makeup thanks to you.

Poppy: Well, any excuse to spend quality time with my daughter. Now, let me just touch up that blush, hmm?

Luna: I mean, it’s an honor to even be invited. The fact that eric specifically asked for me to be there…

Poppy: Well, he admires you, honey. And he knows how important you’ve become to rj. There. You look as beautiful as you do on the inside. Rj won’t be able to take his eyes off you.

Rj: Can’t wait to see luna in her dress.

Zende: Definitely a different vibe from the last time we got dressed up to go to a party.

Rj: Yeah, grandad’s goodbye party. Thought we were gonna lose him.

Zende: Almost did.

Rj: Then he got a second chance.

Zende: I can’t think of a better reason to celebrate.

Rj: Me too.

Donna: Well, it’s gonna be a cozy little gathering. Finn is working and hayes is sick, and steffy didn’t wanna chance getting you sick.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Brooke: And hope and thomas couldn’t come because they have that big hope for the future meeting.

Eric: Yeah, I wouldn’t want them to cancel that. No, no, I was aware it’s just gonna be a small gathering. It’s fine.

Carter: Hello.

Donna: Oh! Oh, my goodness.

Eric: Carter and katie. Look at you.

Katie: You all look gorgeous. You most of all.

Eric: Thank you. Thank you.

Carter: How are you, man?

Eric: Welcome.

Donna: You look stunning, and not so bad yourself.

Rj: Hey, hey, there he is.

Zende: Who’s ready to get this party started?

Eric: I am, I am. Thank you both for joining donna and me for this party tonight. I promise everyone a memorable evening.

Donna: Hmm… y’all wayfair is the talk of the neighborhood, c’mon!

Liam: You know, I am really excited for you. ‘Cause I haven’t seen you this enamored with a woman since… maybe ever.

Bill: I felt this way about your mom too, son. She was an all-around knockout.

Liam: Thanks. Hey, I know that you’re not like a foo-foo, la-la, destiny, fate kind of guy, but… I really think it’s possible that poppy came back into your life for a reason, and… who knows, maybe she’s got something that you didn’t even realize you were missing.

Bill: Yeah, you may be exactly right, liam. In fact, I’m gonna cut our meal short and see if poppy’s available.

Luna: All right, this one? Or this one?

Poppy: I like that one.

Luna: Same. Great minds think alike.

Poppy: Yeah, well, what time does the party start? You don’t want to be late.

Luna: Um, it’s at– oh, my god, we totally lost track of time. I have to get going.

Poppy: Uh, do you want me to drop you off?

Luna: Uh, no, that is okay. I’m taking a car service.

Poppy: Okay. Um, are you sure you don’t wanna wear a wrap? ‘Cause it might get cold later.

Luna: Uh, no, no, it’s okay. Um, I’ll be fine.

Poppy: All right then. Have a fabulous time.

Luna: Thank you, mom. And thank you for helping me with my glam.

Poppy: Listen, I know tonight’s about eric and celebrating his miraculous recovery. But I’m so proud of you. I’m so happy you found rj. A guy who treats you with kindness and respect. Don’t let anything come between you and the man that you love.

Luna: I won’T.

Poppy: Now skedaddle. Go.

[ Luna laughs ]

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Rj: Well, luna’s on her way.

Eric: Good, that’s marvelous. I’m glad she’s gonna be here. She’s a very big part of this whole thing.

Rj: Yeah, luna’s strength and support while we were keeping it a secret– the health stuff– was nothing short of amazing, right?

Eric: When you find love, you stick with it. You hang on to it. Don’t let go. Not ever.

Rj: That’s exactly what I intend to do.

Eric: Everyone! I’m very aware we’re not all here, but I’m very, very proud and happy that you’re all here to help donna and me celebrate this wonderful evening. Thank you. It’s gonna be fun. And, uh, I’ll have more to say about all that later.

Ridge: You okay?

Eric: Yeah, I’m just a little, uh… I’m just a little disoriented. Last time I had a lot of people in this room, I was, uh… I was on the floor there. I collapsed, you know? And, uh… I wasn’t sure I’d ever be back.

Ridge well, you are back. You made it.

Eric: You knew my wishes, ridge.

Ridge: You gave me the power to make the right choice when the time came. And I did. And I’d do it again. You’re here. You’re alive. Is that what you want, or would you rather be dead?

Eric: That’s not what I’m saying. Not at all. You know that. I love this life. I love– I love this family. I love– I love donna.

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: But right now, your face is telling a different story.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, well… I went to the other side, ridge, you know, and I saw that. And it was beautiful. It was indescribable. I mean, uh… you wouldn’t understand. I mean, you just can’T. I want you to know something. When my time comes again, and it will, I’m not afraid. I don’t want you to be afraid for me. Understand?

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: Make no mistake, I love this life. I want to live. Cheers.

Ridge: Cheers. (Kids) get him!

Bill: There you go.

Poppy: Thank you.

Bill: Thanks for coming, poppy. I’m happy to see you again.

Poppy: It’s nice to see you too.

Bill: I’m sorry for the last-minute phone call. I don’t want you to think that I’m just assuming you’re available.

Poppy: Consider this your lucky day.

Bill: I do consider it my lucky day. I hope I didn’t take you away from anything too important.

Poppy: No, I was with luna, but she had plans.

Bill: How is your lovely daughter?

Poppy: She’s doing well. She’s enjoying work and her social life. She’s never been happier.

Bill: Really? That’s nice to hear.

Poppy: She’s in a wonderful relationship and very much in love with rj forrester.

Rj: Wow, you look stunning.

Luna: Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself.

Rj: Granddad’s been asking about you. Granddad? Luna’s arrived.

Eric: Luna, hi. Welcome. I’m glad you could make it.

Luna: Thank you.

Eric: Hi. Well, make yourself at home. You know this area here pretty well. You spent enough time here with rj and me and donna when I was– when I was sick.

Luna: I’m so happy to be here. Thank you so much for including me.

Eric: Wouldn’t be the same without you. I’m sure rj feels the same way.

Brooke: So, no signs like before?

Donna: No, I mean, eric gets weak and– and tired sometimes, but all the other symptoms from before are totally gone. You know, I’m just crossing my fingers to hope that it stays that way.

Katie: Well, I just hope he doesn’t overdo it.

Donna: I don’t even know what I’d do if I lost my honey bear.

Eric: Carter, have I mentioned how wonderful it is to have you here?

Carter: Well, there’s no place I’d rather be in this world, eric. You always treat me like family.

Eric: That’s because you are. You’re an integral part of this family at any gathering we have. More than anyone realizes.

Luna: This house and this room, it has such a warm place in my heart.

Rj: Yeah, mine too. I mean, the first time we ever laid eyes on each other, it was like right here.

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Yeah.

[ Luna chuckles ] I’m uh, I wanted to tell you that I’m glad that, you know, we waited to take the next step in our relationship.

Luna: Yeah, me too. It made our night even more special.

Rj: You’re special.

Luna: I can’t wait to be alone with you again.

Rj: Is it hot in here? It’s a little hot in here. Is it just me? Do you want a drink? I’m gonna go get us drinks. I’ll be right back.

Zende: Having fun?

Luna: Oh, yeah. Yeah, it’s a great party. What about you?

Zende: Yeah. Yeah, I’m, uh, I’m enjoying it a lot more now.

Bill: I knew rj and luna were seeing each other. I didn’t realize it had progressed to the “I love you” stage.

Poppy: Well, it’s still pretty new, but it’s progressing quite well. They’ve already been through so much together, dealing with eric’s health condition. And, um, it really bonded them.

Bill: Well, I’m happy that luna’s happy. And that her beautiful mom is happy as well.

Zende: You are just beautiful. Rj is a very lucky man.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: Hi.

Luna: Hi.

Rj: For you.

Luna: Thank you.

Zende: I was just telling luna how amazing she looks.

Rj: Yeah, she does.

Zende: Hey, I gotta give you guys props for all you did to support granddad when he was sick. Especially when none of us knew that he was sick.

Rj: Thank you. Thank you for saying that, zende. I appreciate it. Luna was, I mean, as always, she’s– she’s an incredible help. And, um, you know, we’re lucky. Lucky those days are behind us and granddad’s doing better.

Zende: I’ll drink to that.

Eric: All right, everybody. Attention. If I could have your attention for a moment.

Rj: Uh-oh. Pay attention, everyone. Granddad is about to make a toast.

Ridge: This may take a minute. Might as well take a seat.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: Look, very funny, you two, very funny.

Ridge: I’m sorry. Dad, I’m really glad to be here. I can’t wait to see how this beautiful evening unfolds.

Eric: All right.

Donna: May I, um, say something, actually?

Eric: Well, sure.

Donna: Yeah. Uh, wow, um… I, uh, I don’t even know where to begin, I– I feel like, um, I’ve been with you forever. Yet it feels like we’re only getting started. I’m so grateful for every single precious moment I get to share with you. You nourish my soul, eric. You– you’ve completely transformed my life. All of our– our lives. And we’re here today to honor you.

Eric: Thank you. Thank you, donna. But I respectfully disagree. It’s not about me. This is all about you tonight, donna. About you and our life together into the future. That’s what this is about. Yeah, I wouldn’t be here, uh, at all, tonight, if it wasn’t for all the love and the kindness that I felt from everyone here. But no one more than you. No one more than you, my– my wonderful donna. You’re the person that stood by my side through this whole difficult time, and I– and I appreciate that. I know it hasn’t been easy. But every time you pleaded with me to go to the hospital, I– I absolutely refused.

Donna: Yes, you did.

Eric: You didn’t give up on me. And I’m never gonna give up on you either. And so, that’s what tonight is all about. It’s about you, wonderful donna logan. You’ve given me so much humor and warmth and love. And you’ve given me the desire to live every day, to live another day. And another day after that, and another after that, and to live every day with you by my side. Until the end.

Donna: The end.

Eric: You never ask anything from me. And you give everything you are, to me. It’s time for me to give back.

Donna: What?

Eric: Ridge, give me a hand here. Yeah, thanks. I can do this. I can do this.

Donna: What are you doing? What are you doing?

Eric: Something I should’ve done a long time ago, donna. You’re everything to me. You’re my rock and you’re my– my well of happiness. I– I want you to be my wife. Will you? Ridge, give me, give me, here. Yeah. Marry me, donna.

Donna: Eric…

Eric: Will you marry me? Will you marry your, uh… will you marry your honey bear?
