[Deacon sighing]

Deacon: Daddy’s back. Mm.

Brooke: This is so unexpected. Seems like it came out of nowhere.

Hope: Well, because it did. I mean, there was no heads-up from thomas. Just, “I think douglas should live with me.” Just like that. Like it’s no big deal.

Brooke: Thomas fully signed off on the shared custody agreement. It’s been in place for a long time now.

Hope: Yeah, and it’s been great. And– and I am not opposed to douglas spending time with his father. In fact, I’ve encouraged it. I welcome it. It’s good for douglas to be around thomas. But moving out permanently, and changing his living situation on a whim, I– that– that is wrong.

Brooke: I totally agree with you.

Hope: Have you… talked to ridge about it? Or…?

Taylor: You know, it’s so beautiful outside today. The sky is clear.

Steffy: Uh-huh.

Taylor: Not a security guard in sight!

Steffy: Uh, I am not taking that for granted.

Taylor: Mm-mm. I’m glad finn’s going back to work.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, it’s good. I mean, he’s, uh– he’s making progress, but…

Taylor: You know, I am so happy for the two of you. I literally cannot stop saying that. How many times have I said that?

Steffy: I know, I know. But it’s true, you know. I’ve realized that miracles really do happen. And they can happen for you, too.

Deacon: There she is.

Deacon: Mm. Debra, last night was wild. You were like an animal. You couldn’t get enough of me. Not that I’m complaining, because I’m happy to oblige. Mm… mm.

Brooke: Yes, ridge and i spoke. Let’s just hope this blows over quickly and thomas comes to his senses and realizes that douglas is better off with you.

Hope: Should’ve heard him last night. He seems pretty determined. And I don’t think he’s going to change his mind.

Brooke: Okay. Well, is thomas really ready for that big commitment?

Hope: Thomas wants to play a primary role in his son’s upbringing.

Brooke: He doesn’t have to go to such extremes. Like I told ridge, douglas belongs here with you, liam, and beth.

Steffy: Talk about timing. Mom and I were just talking about you.

Ridge: Oh! Your favorite subject.

Taylor: Ha! Sometimes.

Ridge. Sometimes? All the time, surely.

Steffy: Depends on the day.

Ridge: She’s not too old to get grounded, is she?

Steffy: Haha. So, how was your talk with brooke about, uh, thomas and douglas?

Ridge: I knew you were going to ask me that.

Steffy: I can only imagine how it went.

Ridge: Brooke is in favor of keeping douglas where he is.

Steffy: Of course she is.

Ridge: We’re never going to see eye-to-eye on that.

Steffy: Well, I hope she didn’t cause you too much trouble.

Ridge: She wasn’t happy. Especially when I told her about us… kissing in monaco. When hurting feet make you want to stop,

Deacon: Man, I needed that last night. Something tells me you did, too. So, you gonna tell me your name? You didn’t say a word last night. At least nothing that’s intelligible. I think it’s hot. You know, you’re kinky. I like it.

Debra: You have no idea, darling.

Hope: Mom, I do not want this to cause some rift between you and ridge.

Brooke: Honey! Don’t worry about us. We can survive anything.

Brooke: Besides, you are my daughter. And I will always stand by you and your children.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Hope: I don’t know, mom. It’s just… like… look at this beautiful home that we’ve built for ourselves. It just– it finally felt like– like we had all settled in. Yeah, all of us. It– it felt safe and comfortable and there was a routine, and now thomas just wants to interrupt the day-to-day?

Brooke: It’s not fair to anybody, especially to douglas!

Hope: But douglas does get sad when his father isn’t around. And then that makes thomas feel guilty and…

Brooke: Okay, okay, so thomas can step up other ways. Right? He can drive douglas to school more often. He can show up at more of his games. Just not when it’s convenient.

Hope: Thomas has been making more of an effort and– and I– I– I do want to reach some kind of compromise.

Brooke: Honey, I know you’ve always wanted thomas to build a relationship with douglas.

Hope: I mean, I’m thrilled that he wants to be more hands-on. Douglas needs that. He deserves that.

Brooke: That’s great! But he doesn’t have to move over to eric’s house with him.

Hope: And this whole forrester thing, I mean, what does it matter who is a forrester and who isn’t? What matters is douglas. The focus should be on douglas and what he wants, what he needs. And I have never heard him ask to live with his father before.

Brooke: He’s too young to make a decision like that.

Hope: Well, exactly! That is the last thing that I want. I do not want some big custody battle, mom. And I–

[ Brooke sighing ]

Hope: I just really don’t want this to get, you know, brought up in your relationship and have it become a thing.

Brooke: Oh, stop. It’s not going to. I’m not gonna let it. I’m determined not to let it. Especially now since taylor’s circling around… waiting to strike again.

Hope: Wait, waiting to strike again?

Brooke: I don’t know, it seems like she’s looking for every opportunity in the book. And I think she’s found her opening.

Hope: So, something already happened?

Brooke: Oh… I’m really trying not to give it any energy.

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: You know what I mean? I just– I know ridge loves me. I’m very confident with that. Okay. Okay, yes. Yes, something happened between ridge and taylor. They kissed. In monaco.

Steffy: You came clean about your kiss with mom?

Ridge: Yeah! Had to be honest with brooke.

Steffy: How did she react? Did she freak out like usual?

Ridge: No, she did not freak out. Uh, but she was upset.

Steffy: She doesn’t have a right to be.

Ridge: Of course she has a right to be! She’s my wife.

Steffy: She’s a hypocrite. Look how many times you’ve looked past all these kisses.

Ridge: Brooke knows exactly who she is, she’s very self-aware.

[ Taylor clearing throat ]

Ridge: We’ve forgiven each other a lot of things, including this thing with deacon. I let that go!

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, deacon. And, um, bill. And thorne and– and grandad.

Ridge: What are you doing?

Steffy: I’m just–

Ridge: Just naming names now? Is that?

Steffy: Yeah, well–

Taylor: We’re not going to sit here and name names, ridge. We’d be here all day.

Ridge: Wow.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re not gonna do that. Especially, that was– you know, it was more than kisses. It–

Ridge: So, what are we doing? Just a laundry list of all the things of all the things that brooke’s done wrong?

Steffy: Brooke has let you–

Ridge: I’ve let her down too! I’m not a saint.

Steffy: If she–

Taylor: You’re kind of a boy scout in comparison.

Steffy: Okay, if she’s giving you a hard time about kissing–

Ridge: She’s not giving me a hard time! What happened in monaco is behind us. She’s forgiven me for it. Okay? (Vo) when you live with moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Hope: Ridge and taylor kissed?

Brooke: Uh, they got caught up. I– I think his words were something like, “they forgot themselves,” or…

[ Hope laughing ] Uh… mom, ridge is still your husband. Are you not upset about this?

Brooke: I know. I’m trying not to be, honey, ’cause I know ridge didn’t do it on purpose. He didn’t do it to hurt me.

Hope: Okay, so then how did it even happen?

Brooke: They had just arrived in monaco. And they were looking all over for steffy.

Hope: And I’m sure they were really worried but–

Brooke: Yeah, they couldn’t find her. They were looking all over the place. But then… they found them. And– and finn and steffy, they were reunited. And they were there with the kids and… I– I don’t know. Apparently, they got swept up in the miracle that finn was alive and what that meant for steffy.

Taylor: So, brooke forgave you? That’s smart.

Steffy: Yeah, dad. Brooke’s in no position to be judging you over one kiss with mom.

Ridge: I…

[ Ridge sighing ] I heard you. I heard both of you. But what I don’t want is this to turn into some brooke bash fest. Can we maybe not do that?

Steffy: We’re not bashing her. Well… I mean, we’re stating facts. And sometimes I feel like you need to be reminded of those–

Ridge: No, you– I don’t need to be reminded. I’m aware of everything that’s going on. I– that’s what I just said. I know what’s going on. I know what’s going on here. I– I know that thomas wants to be with douglas. I get it!

Taylor: And you made it clear, also, that– that you support your son and your grandson, because there’s no reason that thomas and douglas shouldn’t be living together.

Ridge: Yes! And I– I did. I ma– I made it clear. But that doesn’t mean that brooke doesn’t have a point. She– she wants what’s best for douglas. She’s around him all the time. And she’s concerned about him, and hope, and her family.

Steffy: Yeah, exactly! Brooke’s concerned about her family. Hope, her daughter. The logans. It’s never about you. It just– it drives me crazy sometimes, dad. Like, the way you talk about them, it’s just– it’s insane to me.

Ridge: What– what is insane to you? What– what did I just say?

Steffy: You just cut brooke so much slack. I now know how fleeting life can be. And I just feel like you’re wasting your time. I mean, our family has been years just wasted on brooke because she’s so obsessed with you.

Ridge: I–

Steffy: And now thomas– thomas wants to raise douglas, but he can’t because hope and brooke won’t allow it.

Ridge: No, I– what– I… that– but I’m agreeing with you. That’s exactly what I said. That’s what I want to happen. I want these guys to be together!

Steffy: But dad, you are not putting your foot down. You’re not doing it.

Steffy: You need to stand up and leave this family and you need to stop defending brooke! Get douglas. Get him and bring him back to thomas. And go back to mom. I know I’ve said this a million times, but it’s true! You guys have such wonderful history. And look at this. The way you look at mom. I mean, I just saw it. I mean, come on. Dad, remember how you feel when you look at her. Okay, I’m gonna go check on hayes. But think about what I just said. Both of you.

Ridge: That was, um…

Taylor: She means well. She really does. Okay?

Ridge: Yeah, I’m sure.

Taylor: Hey.

[ Exhaling ] Everything’s okay. You know, I am a completely different person than I was when we were married.

Ridge: So am I.

Deacon: You know, I’m hungry, but not for food.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Debra laughs seductively ] Does that feel good? Mm. You’re not ticklish, are you? Whoa. What happened there? What happened to your toe? Want your clothes to smell freshly

Hope: I totally get how incredible it must’ve been for ridge and taylor to find out that finn was alive, but–

Brooke: Yeah. They were overcome with emotion and gratitude.

Hope: Yes! That– when we found out, we were so amazed that, you know, we took a picture together.

[ Chuckles softly ]

Hope: But we did not kiss taylor. So, what are you saying? That ridge just happened to forget that he was married, again?

Brooke: Okay! Okay. I will admit that I was shocked when he filled me in. But it’s not like I haven’t made mistakes in the past, honey.

Hope: Okay. Mom, mom. I love you and I respect you for trying to take the high road, but this– this is me here. How do you really feel about taylor kissing your husband?

Taylor: I’ve been thinking about our kiss a lot.

Ridge: I have, too.

Taylor: Yeah. What happened? You– you moved back home. To live in the moment. And… it seems that you’ve been here a lot. And I don’t know. Maybe it’S… maybe it’s steffy and the kids. Maybe it’s me. Who knows. You do seem happier when you’re here. I don’t think I’m wrong.

Ridge: I don’t think you are.

Taylor: Do you remember when you proposed to me in st. Thomas?

Ridge: Hmm.

Taylor: You– you tracked me down, halfway across the world, and pledged your undying love to me.

Ridge: Yeah, I remember that day. And I meant what I said.

Taylor: I know you did. But somehow it’s like our– our history has been erased. Our whole love story, it’s just gone. And– and it’s like it’s just always been brooke. You know? But that’s changing. And there’s feelings that are coming up now, like… old feelings, and we’re both feeling it. And it’s confusing, I know. But it’s been like that since I’ve been back. We both feel it. Ridge, I– I– I just want you to be happy. You know that’s what I want. And I– of course I wish it was with me. But if it’s with brooke, okay. But are you– are you happy? Do you want to be in that house with brooke and hope and liam? Is that where you want to be? Hmm? ‘Cause I– I don’t think it is.

Deacon: What happened here? What happened to your toe?

Brooke: Sheila carter is dead.

Deacon: Unbelievable. Killed by a bear.

Brooke: Detective said that her toe and all of the evidence that was found is conclusive.

Deacon: No. No, no, no.

Deacon: This can’t– this can’t be.

Deacon: No, you can’T. There’s no way. It can’t be. Hah!

Sheila: Momma’s back!

[ Giggling ] Ooh. Oh…

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: I don’t want to have any secrets between us.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: And that’s what that would be. An intimate moment with another woman. I– I just, I don’t–

Brooke: So taylor kissed you.

Ridge: We kissed each other.

Brooke: Ah. Yeah. It’s mutual.

Ridge: But it’s– it’s not… finn and steffy just found their way back to each other in monaco. And steffy’s life is back on track and just, it was… I know it sounds stupid but it was the joy of it all and we just got caught up in it.

Brooke: Yeah. So, you sealed it with a kiss.

Taylor: Did you get the kids to sleep?

Steffy: Yeah. I just– it amazes me how fast they go down, like a sudden energy drain.

Taylor: Yeah, you’re so lucky. You know, you and phoebe and thomas fought bedtime like crazy. The more ridge and I tried to get you to go down, the more hyper you all got.

Steffy: Good times.

Taylor: The best.

Steffy: You know, they don’t have to be behind us. What happened between you and dad in monaco proves it. Was that what you were thinking about when I just walked in?

[ Knock on door ]

Hope: It’s open!

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: It’s, uh, nice not having all that extra security outside now that we finally don’t have to worry about sheila.

Hope: Huh, seriously.

Thomas: You got a sec?

Hope: Hmm. Yeah, what’s up?

Thomas: I’m here to talk about douglas.

Deacon: Mmm. I gotta tell you, buddy, it is good to be back on this side of the bar.

Bartender: You know, deacon, you might want to just–

Deacon: Eh, eh, all right, I gotta binge drink every once in a while, all right? All work and no play makes deacon a dull boy. Can’t have that.

Bartender: Hey, did you hear the news about sheila carter? She’s dead.

Deacon: Unbelievable. Killed by a bear. You know, that’s probably the only thing that could take sheila carter out. What a way to go.

Bartender: Hey, you might want to slow down.

Deacon: All right, all right. Who are you, my mother?

Bartender: Look, I’m just trying to look out for my boy. Didn’t you say you had a big day tomorrow?

Deacon: What are you talking about?

Bartender: Well, I might’ve gotten the dates wrong, but didn’t you say you had a meeting with your parole officer?

Deacon: Oh! Mmm. Yes. Thank you for reminding me. Yes.

Bartender: Okay, so I’m wondering is it really a good idea for you to be knocking them back like this?

Deacon: I’m fine. I’m fine. I’ll get back on the straight and narrow. Which, by the way, is who I am 99% of the time. Trust me. Day in and day out. I’m not a saint here, so every now and then, I might revert. But trust me, I’m not going to jeopardize what I have, you know. What I’ve managed to build. Got a roof over my head, albeit here. Got the love and respect of my daughter. Her mother doesn’t hate seeing me every time. And, uh, I’d be a fool to screw that up, do anything that would wind me up back in prison.

Thomas: I hope this isn’t a bad time.

Hope: Actually, I’m kind of in the middle of something.

Thomas: Okay, well, it won’t take long. The first thing I want to say is, look, I’m not trying to upset you or frustrate you in any way, all right? But I meant what I said before. Douglas should live with me, his father.

Steffy: You know what I think?

[ Taylor laughing]

Taylor: I’m sure you’re gonna tell me.

Steffy: I am.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: That kiss you shared with dad? It’s probably on his mind too.

Taylor: Yeah, probably. But I’m sure that brooke is doing everything she can to keep all his attention.

Steffy: Not for long.

Taylor: You know, I don’t know if I should be inspired by your single minded optimism for your father and me or if I should be completely exhausted.

Steffy: Do both.

[ Taylor chuckling ] You know, it’s pretty crazy that you and thomas are kind of in similar situations. He needs douglas and you need dad.

Brooke: To say I’m thrown, well, I mean, I never expected you and taylor to be kissing. I guess I’m just naive.

Ridge: It wasn’t planned. It just happened. It– it came out of the joy of– of seeing my daughter.

Brooke: Ridge, I mean, I understand what it’s like getting caught up in something. But this is a little different. This isn’t just some stranger. I mean, she used to be your wife. You were married to her. You had children with her. So there were feelings there. I appreciate you being honest with me, but I’m going to be honest with you right now. To hear about this, it–

[ Brooke sighing ] I mean, it– it hurts. I’m just disappointed.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Bartender: Prison. I can’t imagine what that’s like.

Deacon: Something tells me that you wouldn’t like it very much.

Bartender: Maybe you should call it a night. You’ve had enough, all right? Go home and get all fresh and shiny for your parole officer tomorrow.

Deacon: Hey, come here. The redhead over there is burning a hole in me. Eh, maybe it’s just wishful thinking because I’ve got to be honest, it’s been a while since daddy’s had any action.

Bartender: No, no, no, no, no. I’m definitely feeling the vibe.

Hope: I really don’t want to get into this right now, so if–

Thomas: Yeah, okay, you made that clear, but we have joint custody, all right? We need to talk about this. Things can’t stay the way that they are.

Hope: Why not? Why not? Things have worked out beautifully. I mean, douglas, he’s happy.

Thomas: Yeah. He is. And– and I’m so grateful to you and liam for giving him this solid foundation when I couldn’t, all right? But I have to take a bigger role in my son’s upbringing.

Hope: Thomas, you know you have access to douglas when– whenever you want.

Thomas: And so can you, all right? But things have to change. I need to be douglas’ primary parent.

Hope: But we can’t just uproot him. This is his home.

Thomas: Yeah, and douglas can spend as much time here as he wants. Look, I know how much douglas loves you, but he loves me too. He misses me. You heard him. And I miss him. We need to be together.

Taylor: I got a text from thomas earlier. He was on his way to hope’s to talk about douglas’ living situation.

Steffy: Oh, that’s good. The sooner thomas and douglas are settled in, the better. I mean, it should have happened a long time ago.

Taylor: Yeah, but he just wanted to make sure his head was in the right place. This is a big decision.

Steffy: Douglas’ well-being is most important.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, it is. I’m– I’m so proud of thomas for the way he’s moved through all his challenges. He’s– he’s come back stronger and wiser.

Steffy: I know. It’s time for thomas to be with his son. Douglas needs to be back with his family, just like dad needs to be with you.

Taylor: Well, as for ridge and brooke, even though they’re not technically “back together”, he’s still married to her.

Steffy: Yeah, but you two kissed. And what I’m picking up on, it was pretty good.

Taylor: Mm, not exactly. It was epic.

Steffy: Mom.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Brooke: The mental image of you and taylor kissing, well, it bothers me. Yeah. It hurts. But I can understand, ridge. Really, you guys just got caught up in the joy of everything that was going on.

Ridge: We did. It must have been incredible. You were there, and you found out that finn was alive and– and he reunited with steffy and you– you saw her depression lift. So for you and taylor, that must have been incredibly intense.

Ridge: It’s the most amazing thing. The most amazing day.

Brooke: Wow. Okay. Um, so you kissed. And it was mutual. I have to ask, what kind of a kiss was it? Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

Deacon: I don’t think we’re ready for new remodelling yet. Hmm, can’t afford that. Sure as hell…

[ Knocking on door ] Lady, I don’t know who you are but I sure would like to know what’s on your mind. Really?

Hope: Please, spend as much time with your son as you want, but don’t– don’t change the living situation because of that. Don’t change what he knows.

Thomas: Okay, hope, this isn’t some impulsive move on my part. I’ve thought about this for a long time. It wasn’t just because of what douglas said, though that did make my decision final. I’ve already spoken with my granddad and he’s happy to have us over at the family home.

Hope: So eric supports you uprooting douglas?

Thomas: He knows it’s time for my son to be with me. To be with our family, to be living as a forrester. And more importantly, he knows it’s time for me to be a 24/7 dad to my son.

Steffy: I am certain this kiss meant something to dad. You shared something special in monaco.

Taylor: We sure did. Our mutual happiness for you, my love.

Steffy: Okay, sure, that was the catalyst, but you guys could’ve just hugged it out. Instead you had this, like, epic kiss. Mom, this is what you’ve wanted. You have a real chance with dad. You need to take charge. Go out there. Fight for him.

Ridge: What kind of kiss was it? I don’t know. I don’t understand. What do you– it was– it was real.

Brooke: Oh, okay, it was real. So, does that mean you have real feelings for taylor?

Ridge: No. I don’t– I, well, I, no, I– I do have– yes, I have feelings for her, she–

Brooke: Yes?

Ridge: Yes! She’s the mother of my children, I was married to her, of course I have feelings for her. But this is not– not like the feelings I have for you. The– I love you more than anything.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Well, I love you more than anything.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah. Mm. Okay, look. I know that you have forgiven me for a lot of kisses. So I am going to forgive you for this one kiss with taylor.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: Mm-hm.

Ridge: And thank you.

Brooke: So, it’s settled. We’re just moving right on, right? Just moving on. There is something else that I need to talk to you about. It’s thomas. And his role in douglas’ life.

Now glossy hair starts

with your shampoo.

Deacon: All right. Come on. [Indistinct]

Thomas: Look, I am grateful to you and to liam for giving douglas this amazing home to live in. But thinking of liam as douglas’ full-time father figure, I just– I– I can’t do it. Look, nothing against liam. He’s a nice guy. And– and he’s treated douglas well.

Hope: He’s treated douglas like his own.

Thomas: Right, and that’s the problem. Douglas is my son. I know that this probably comes as a surprise to you, but you had to know this day would come eventually. In any case, I want douglas to spend the night with me, over at granddad’s tomorrow night.

Hope: Just like that, no further discussion? Don’t you think we should get liam involved and talk logistics, or–

Thomas: Look, for a very long time, I have allowed you and liam to make decisions on douglas’ behalf and with basically no input from me, all right? But that has to change. I hope you can understand. Please don’t fight me on this.

Steffy: Don’t let this possibility of you and dad just slip away. The one thing I’ve learned recently is that nothing is forever. You have to take every minute with the people that you love. Please just don’t give up on dad.

Taylor: I won’T. I’m done be passive and minding my manners. I believe in ridge and me.

Brooke: I wanted to talk to you about thomas’ plans for douglas.

Ridge: Okay. That’s good because I want to talk to you about that too. Thomas has moved into my dad’s house and he wants douglas to be part of that and I support it.

Brooke: What? No. Douglas has been living with hope and liam now for a very long time and thomas signed off on that.

Ridge: He signed off on it because he was in a bad place. You know he was. And he’s better now. He is. I mean, you see him. He’s focused. And not just on work but on the one thing, the most important thing in his life and that’s his relationship with his son.

Brooke: Okay. I have seen them together. They have a nice relationship. They’re bonded. And my daughter certainly hasn’t interfered with that.

Ridge: I didn’t say that. No– no one ever said that. No, she’s been amazing. She’s been great. After caroline died, she was there and she– she built this solid foundation for that little boy. But now, he needs to be with his dad. He needs to learn about our family.

Brooke: Oh.

Ridge: No– no listen to me. He needs to learn about our family. He needs to learn about his legacy and his birthright. And– and I know. I get it. I know you’re concerned about thomas, that he’s going to maybe slide back to where he was. But he won’T. Because I’m gonna– I’m gonna be there. I’m going to make sure that he succeeds.

Brooke: And what about hope? I mean, douglas looks at her as his mother. That’s what she is to him. She– she adopted him, for god’s sakes!

Ridge: She’s always gonna be in his life. We’re not saying that that’s not going to happen. But that little boy can’t live with hope and liam anymore. He needs to know where his father is. He needs to understand that. And I really need you to support me on this.

Brooke: Oh my gosh, ridge, no. Thomas can’t have whatever he wants. He can’t just waltz in here and take his son. No. He lives with hope, liam, and his little baby sister. That is his family. That is what he knows. That’s his stability. I’m not going to allow it. He needs to stay with my daughter. Not with your son.

[ Contemplative music ]

Steffy: I thought I lost the man I love. My son was going to grow up without a father.

Ridge: Douglas hasn’t lost thomas.

Thomas: Douglas misses me, dad. He wants to be with me.

Taylor: Of course he does.

Steffy: The logans have taken enough from us! You talk about pulling the family together. Being there for each other. Well that’s what we need to do. It’s time to say enough! Time to fight for our family! That means you being there for mom. And douglas living with thomas.

Waiter: Your salad, ma’am.

Brooke: Thank you.

Waiter: Would you like some fresh ground pepper?

Brooke: No, thank you. So honey, you really didn’t see this coming? Thomas wanting douglas to live with him full time?

Hope: No and neither did liam.

Brooke: Well, now that liam went back to the office and deacon went to work, you and I can talk about this freely. I know you’re concerned. So am I. But it’s not going to happen. Yeah, okay maybe thomas has made some progress, and I’m sure he misses his little boy, but he’s in no position to be the only parent for that child.

Hope: And I thought that was understood. But now, I am not so sure.

Li: I thought I had the perfect marriage, but it was full of lies.

Bill: Lies in a relationship are like poison.

Li: So, you know.

Bill: Let’s just say I’ve seen the consequences of betrayal.

Li: Were you the betrayer or the betrayed?

Bill: Well, if I’m to be completely honest, I have seen both sides of that coin and I know that betrayals have consequences for everyone, don’t they?

Li: Don’t worry. I’m not going to lump you in with my ex. Jack’s lies brought chaos into our lives. You saved us from it.

Bill: So you and jack are over?

Li: Jack cheated. He never told me the child we adopted was his biological child. But make no mistake, finn is my son in every way that matters.

Bill: Unfortunately, that lunatic sheila carter wanted a place in his life.

Li: That’s what I can’t forgive. Jack knew she posed a threat to our son, yet he still kept it a secret. He chose to protect himself over his family. It shattered my faith in him. I’ll never get it back.

Steffy: Mom, I know what you’re going to say. Don’t push. Don’t pressure.

Taylor: Yes, yes, that’s exactly what was I going to say. I understand your sense of urgency, sweetie, especially after what you’ve been through–

Steffy: This isn’t about me or thomas. This is about you and dad kissing in monaco. You two came together in a way that hasn’t happened in a long time. Thomas is talking about being a full-time father to douglas. The tides are shifting.

Taylor: Yes, and I agree. Douglas should be with his father. %100. But that has nothing to do with your father and me.

Steffy: Yes, it does. It’s about family. Being connected.

Thomas: Steffy’s right. We’re forresters. I want my little boy to understand what that means. So dad, actually that– that’s something I wanted to talk to you about. Not to change the subject.

Steffy: No, it’s fine. I have to head out anyway. But this conversation isn’t over.

Taylor: You know what? And this is perfect because I’m going to go back to the house with you. I got this.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: Look, dad, I, uh… I know I’m putting you in a difficult position asking douglas to move in with me–

Ridge: You know I support you %100, right? You and douglas. But you gotta do what’s right for you and the boy. He’s got to be in the right environment.

Thomas: That’s what I’m trying to do. That’s what I want. I want him to have a wonderful family. Like he has over at hope’s, except with me. With the forresters. Which is why… I want to ask if… if I can move in with douglas at granddad’S. In the forrester home.

Brooke: So this all came up after douglas asked if thomas misses him when they’re not together?

Hope: Yes. And you know I would never deprive douglas of his father, but it wasn’t so long ago when thomas wasn’t exactly capable of raising him himself.

Brooke: You’re sure thomas didn’t float the idea of living together just to make douglas feel better?

Hope: No. Thomas wouldn’t do that. I truly believe he would only say something if he were seriously considering it.

Brooke: Well then, we have to get to stop pursuing this idea. He’s not ready to raise douglas all by himself. Douglas lives with you, honey. He’s happy with you. He is not leaving your home. What can I du with less asthma?

Bill: Feels likes everyone is focused on moving forward now.

Li: For the best. For all of us. Especially finn and his family.

Bill: Well, thanks to his incredibly determined mother, they can.

Li: There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect my son.

Bill: Well, it’s obvious finn got his courage and backbone from you.

Li: Thank you, but I just stopped by to say thank you for all you did for my son and me. I don’t want to overstay my welcome.

Bill: You haven’T.

Li: Oh? I… what about your family? Your work?

Bill: I see my older boys every day at work and my youngest, will, he’s away at school. When I’m home, my time is my own.

Li: What about your wife?

Bill: Katie and i aren’t married.

Steffy: I’m happy and I want the people I love to be happy!

Taylor: Honey, I’m happy. See? I’m happy for you.

Steffy: I got everything I wanted and prayed for. Why shouldn’t you?

Taylor: But I did. What happened with you and finn is a miracle.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Is he home?

Steffy: No. He’s at the hospital for a follow-up appointment. So, we can talk.

Taylor: Okay, well I– I– I think we should talk about how proud we are of your brother for suggesting douglas live with him. I’ve wanted that for a long time.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re in agreement about that.

Taylor: Yeah, you know, I appreciate everything that hope has done, but thomas is his father. They should be living together.

Ridge: So, you want to move in with my dad?

Thomas: It’s the forrester family home, after all. I’d love for him to experience that– that legacy. He is a forrester. It’s his birthright. Plus the tennis court and the pool are pretty cool.

Ridge: He is a pretty active kid, like someone else I know.

Thomas: We love being outside. Hey, granddad. We were just talking about you.

Eric: You were?

Ridge: Talking about your house actually

Eric: My house?

Thomas: Uh-huh. What about it?

Thomas: Well, I would like to ask if douglas and I could move in with you.

Eric: You and douglas? I’d be thrilled. So would donna. I mean, that house feels a lot more like a home when there’s family in it, but um, douglas is living with hope and liam. What’s different?

Thomas: I’d actually like to change that. Look, I know that hope has done an amazing job. She stepped in when caroline passed. She took over the role as a mother for that little boy and she created this wonderful family for him, and that’s amazing. I had to work through some things, but I did. I’ve worked through a lot. I’m a different person and I’ve actually found what it’s like to be a real parent and I think that’s what douglas needs. He needs to be with me. Douglas should be raised by his father.

Hope: I have been supportive of thomas’ relationship with douglas. I haven’t restricted their time together.

Brooke: I know, honey. You’ve encouraged it.

Hope: Yes, and douglas loves spending time with his dad.

Brooke: And it’s good to see them together. And they should spend time together. But then douglas comes home to you. You provide the consistency that he needs. You, liam, and beth.

Hope: Yes, but we’re all a family, mom. Thomas is his dad, and we share custody, but douglas lives with me.

Brooke: And that is the way it’s going to stay.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Thomas: Sharing a house with you would be amazing for me and for douglas. I want to learn from you. As a designer and a parent.

Eric: You’ve been doing very well on your own, son.

>>Thomas: Well, there’s still so much I have to learn. You know, like the way you raised your kids or how you built this place from the ground up. I think it would be amazing for douglas to experience that as well.

Ridge: Wisest man I know.

Thomas: And I want douglas to have a sense of family and a real belonging, and the only place I really felt that was at your house.

Ridge: You and your sisters made some great memories there.

Eric: And you and yours as well.

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah.

Thomas: Also, you work from home a lot and I don’t get to spend as much time with you, and I miss that.

Eric: I miss that, too.

Thomas: What do you say? Can douglas and I stay with you?

Eric: Uh… I would love nothing more than for the two of you to come stay. I’d love it!

Thomas: Really?

Eric: Come on.

Thomas: Awesome! Thank you!

Eric: Great. Great, thomas. Great. Look at this.

Ridge: I know.

Hope: This was the last thing I was expecting.

Brooke: Don’t worry, honey. I’ll talk to ridge. We won’t let thomas take douglas from his home.

Bill: Katie and I haven’t been together for quite some time.

Li: One of those consequences you were talking about earlier?

Bill: I did everything I could to patch things up. To win back katie’s trust. We even talked about reconciling and how much that would mean to will, but so far it hasn’t happened.

Li: Irreconcilable differences.

Bill: I suppose you– you could say that. Katie and I, we didn’t see eye to eye on everything. Particularly when it came to the lengths that I would go to to protect my sons and keep them outta’ trouble. Of course, I don’t have to explain that to you, do I? I think if we got to know each other, we would find we had quite a bit in common.

Steffy: Okay. Good. We agree about thomas and douglas.

Taylor: Well, of course we do. Why would you say that?

Steffy: I thought we were going to talk about something else.

Taylor: Really? I think our main focus should be your brother and the situation he’s in. You know? If he’s really planning on making this move–

Steffy: Then he’s gonna need the entire family behind him.

Taylor: Oh and he’s going to have it. Douglas is a forrester. He deserves to be living with him.

Steffy: Douglas isn’t the only member of the family that needs to come back into the fold.

Ridge: Hi.

Brooke: Hi. I said hello when I walked in.

Ridge: Yeah, sorry I was, I was– how was lunch?

Brooke: Oh, gosh. It was, um, it was serious.

Ridge: Is everything okay?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah it will be. Once we talk about it. I mean, there is something we need to discuss.

Ridge: No, there is because avoiding things, it just never works. We got to get things out in the open.

Brooke: I agree.

Ridge: And I know you said it’s not necessary to talk about everything but if we do, we need to talk about what happened in monaco.

Brooke: Monaco? Why do we have to talk about monaco? Nurse mariyam sabo knows a moment this pure

Li: We both care very deeply for our sons. Bill: They are top priority.

Li: But they’re not the only ones we look after.

Bill: Don’t get me started on the grandkids. I’ll talk about them all afternoon.

Li: But you also seem to enjoy caring for complete strangers as well.

Bill: You have to believe me li, I really don’t make a habit of that.

Li: Oh. I was an exception?

Bill: You were in tremendous distress.

Li: When I think about the people who must’ve seen me down at the wharf. Disoriented, injured, confused. They all looked away. You didn’T.

Bill: I couldn’t ignore my instincts. I had to help you.

Li: You saved my life and my son’S.

Taylor: You don’t have to convince me that your father belongs here.

Steffy: Have you told him that? Does he know?

Taylor: Well, I mean I might’ve not said it in those exact words, but you know, he knows how amazing it was having him here.

Steffy: And it could be like that again. Our family has been fractured for far too long. We almost lost finn. Sheila tried to kill me. You think you have so much time, but you don’t, and if you’re patient, dad’s just going to come to his senses and come back here. It’s not like that. Finn and I almost lost our future in an instant. That’s why you need to go out there and get what you want. You can’t waste time!

Taylor: Honey, you don’t–

Steffy: Don’t tell me I don’t understand. I understand! Oh, I understand. You told me the you and dad kissed in monaco. It is so obvious how much you two love one another.

[Kettle whistling]

Brooke: Okay, ridge. I told you, we don’t have to talk about monaco.

Ridge: Uh, we do.

Brooke: No, we don’T. I mean, you being there and seeing finn alive, and reuniting with your daughter, that must have been incredibly amazing for you and taylor.

Ridge: It was. Um, it was intense and we got swept up in it.

Brooke: Yeah. I’m sure. The relief must have been overwhelming.

Ridge: Finn was dead. Was gone. And steffy’s life was just covered in darkness. Everything–

Brooke: I know.

Ridge: Every moment, every time she had a conversation, every time she turned around, there was darkness and finn came back from the dead. He came back to us and– and that darkness was lifted. Just like that. And taylor and I, we–

Brooke: You what? What?

Ridge: We got lost in it. It was– it was just happiness and joy, and– and… and… taylor and I kissed.

Taylor: Is anyone else having trouble processing this? I mean, we– we– we saw the proof. We– we heard the news. It– sheila’s actually dead.

Steffy: Yeah. It’s definitely hard to process.

Ridge: Hard to process, hard to believe. And I wouldn’t if I didn’t have dna evidence.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: Yeah, I just don’t get it. Like, how is there only one toe left?

Ridge: I don’t know.

Steffy: Dad, I can’t believe you’ve got a picture of it.

Ridge: What? Needed a new background. Give me a break.

Taylor: It’s totally inappropriate.

Ridge: I– I understand this is hard to bear. But look, it’s over now. She’s gone. Let’s look toward the future.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Right?

Steffy: Yeah. The best future for you and our entire family is one where you open your eyes and you run to mom. As fast as you possibly can.

Liam: Oh, my god. Is that– oh, my god.

Brooke: Her toe, yes. Ridge wanted a picture.

Hope: Dad, I’m– I’m so sorry. I know this can’t be easy for you. You and sheila were…

Deacon: You know, part of me felt for her. I think back on all the horrible things she’s done over the years I– obviously, most recently to steffy and finn and what she did to you. I don’t know. I guess if I feel sad, it’s because she never became that better person that she wanted to be.

Li: A part of me would have preferred sheila to spend years rotting in some dark cell unloved, alone. Regrets tearing up inside. But how she was torn apart instead works just as well. What? Too morbid?

Bill: No. No, not at all. Good to know we think alike. Anyway, good riddance. That maniac terrorized too many people.

Bill: It’s gotta be a relief knowing that sheila can’t hurt you again.

Li: Oh, it’s huge relief. You have no idea.

Bill: Look, no one would ever accuse me of being the greatest listener in the world. But if you do wanna talk about it, I know how painful this is for you. I can see it all over your face. And I remember how you were when I found you. So traumatized and broken. But look at you now. You found your voice again. You’re– you’re so much stronger. No– no pressure at all. But if you do need someone to talk to, I can be that someone. You can trust me.

Deacon: Why would ridge even send that to you? I mean, it’s disgusting. Can we just change the subject, please, to anything. Anything at all?

Liam: Mighty fine weather we’re having.

Deacon: I’ll run with it. Great. It’s been gorgeous.

Brooke: Look, I– I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys here, but I just wanted to give you the news. I didn’t think that I’d be staying so long.

Deacon: Because of me?

Brooke: No, because of me. Just don’t wanna do anything that might upset ridge.

Ridge: And there it is. How do I know you’re going to try and bring this conversation back to your mom and me?

Steffy: I’m just saying, after everything sheila put us through, it made me realize how every day is important. We have to spend this time on earth with the people who matter the most. And who matters more than the love of your life? That’s who you are to each other. Anyone can see it. She caught me. Just did it

Li: I eventually convinced sheila that I needed more medicine, which wasn’t a lie. Finn needed it. But soon as I left– thank you. She caught me. Just did it too soon. Things got ugly fast. Not much scares me, but my god, sheila carter attacking you with that evil look on her face, I thought it was over. But I fought her off. Got to my car. She followed. I was in such a panic, I could barely see in the rain. Next thing you knew, I was in the water. I lost control. Somehow survival instincts kicked in and I got free. I swam to shore. Injured, traumatized. Completely lost until you found me. I don’t know how much longer I could have been in that state if you hadn’t rescued me.

Bill: It wasn’t me. It’s what lives inside of you. Your– your strength, your resilience, your– your perseverance. You stood up to a true psycho and survived. Your son is alive because of you. He got away from sheila because of you. And he’s back with his wife and child. Because of you. Now listen, I am not a man who is easily impressed, but when I see someone who is pushed to the brink, whose back is truly against the wall, and they answer that challenge. You have earned my respect and my admiration.

Li: And you have earned mine.

Deacon: I don’t wanna argue about ridge.

Brooke: I don’t either. That’s why I am going to happily excuse myself so you can spend some time with our daughter. And I want you to have a good relationship, it’s just not going to involve me.

Deacon: Uh, well, there’s something you’re gonna wanna involve yourself with. Believe me.

Brooke: What– what are you talking about?

Deacon: Hope, tell your– tell your mother.

Brooke: What? What’s going on?

Hope: It’s nothing as of yet.

Liam: But, um, so thomas stopped by, and, uh, and he was thinking about making some changes.

Hope: About where douglas calls home. He brought up the idea of douglas living with him full-time.

Taylor: Steffy, I understand. And you’re right. You’re right. Who we spend our days with is very important.

Steffy: I sense a but coming.

Taylor: There’s a but. But we got this right. Right, ridge?

Ridge: Oh, yeah.

Taylor: We got it. And– and we can make our own decisions. Okay?

Thomas: Yeah. And you should. Like the decision to make out in monaco, which, by the way, we are fully supportive of.

Taylor: What is with these two?

Ridge: They’re relentless. It’s–

Taylor: Yes, we kissed. We kissed. We kissed. It was a good kiss. But– but you know, we got caught up in the moment.

Steffy: Don’t say you got caught up in the moment. Come on. It was more than that.

[ Phone chiming ]

Thomas: Huh.

Ridge: What? Some good news?

Thomas: Oh, it’s just– it’s douglas. I’m always happy when he reaches out. He wants me to go back to hope’s play some catch.

Ridge: Go. Don’t let us stop you.

Taylor: Yeah. Why don’t you use this as an excuse to stop talking about your parents making out?

Thomas: Oh, okay. All right. You got that. Are you– you’re gonna handle this.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: [Indistinct] Dad, I got you.

Thomas: Uh, okay. Actually, he’s gonna get ice cream with the sitter first, so I’ll head over after. I do like jumping on any chance I can to spend time with him.

Taylor: Well, you should. He’s your son. You should spend as much time with him as you want to.

Thomas: Yeah. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

Taylor: What is it? What’s wrong?

Thomas: Nothing. It’s just– it’s, um, something douglas said to me earlier. Uh, he asked me if I missed him when we’re not together. It’s like– that broke my heart that he would even question. I– I just– I– I– I hate being away from him.

Steffy: You should never have to.

Taylor: No, you shouldn’T. It’s time, thomas. Douglas needs to be with you. This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean.

Li: When you saw me in that alley, you could have looked the other way. You could have walked off without a thought to what I was going through. I just wanna tell you how grateful I am that you didn’T. That you chose to help a complete stranger.

Bill: It really wasn’t a choice, li. Walking away was not an option.

Li: Bringing me here certainly was. Letting me spend the night without knowing or having a clue of what I might be capable of.

Bill: That’s true. Turns out you were capable of a lot.

Li: I just wants– wanted to say thank you for taking a chance on me. And for everything you did for my son. If it weren’t for you, he might still be trapped with sheila. But instead, he’s home, reunited with his family.

Bill: But, well, you’re home, too. I– I just realize we got two reunions to celebrate. Your husband must have been worried sick, wondering what happened to you. He’s gotta be thrilled to have his wife home.

Brooke: I can’t believe this. That would– that– that would be terrible for douglas, removing him from his home.

Hope: I know.

Brooke: To where?

Liam: So thomas is planning on asking eric if he can move in with him. Which– I mean, I guess at least that would be a– a familiar place for douglas, but still uprooting him like that it’s kinda messed up.

Brooke: So he’s talking permanent custody? Is– is that it? A permanent home?

Hope: That’s what it sounded like.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, hope shut down the conversation before they could get too deep into it in front of the kid.

Hope: Look, I do feel for thomas in this scenario, okay? He– he cares about his son and vice versa. I know douglas loves being with his dad, but we’ve already established his home base with me and liam and beth, and he’s happy and thriving there. And I think disrupting that would be– it would be a huge mistake.

Brooke: But does thomas see it that way?

Taylor: You know hope is– hope has taken excellent care of douglas and we’re all very thankful for that. She’s provided security for him when you weren’t able to. But, honey, you’re in a completely different state of mind now, and there’s no reason that douglas shouldn’t live with you if he wants to.

Steffy: He’s been with hope and liam long enough. And we’re all thankful for what hope did after caroline died. But you’re the father. Time with your son shouldn’t feel like visitation. That’s ridiculous. Your son should feel at home with you.

Thomas: Yeah, that’s right. That’s– that’s exactly how it feels. It feels like when we’re together, we’re just visiting. And god what he said earlier that he could even question that I would miss him? Something inside me just couldn’t take it anymore.

Taylor: Then don’T. You need to talk to hope and tell her how you feel.

Thomas: I actually did. I already brought it up. I told her that douglas should live with me. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Bill: Your husband’s name is, uh, jack, right? Uh, poor guy had to be worried sick wondering what happened to you. Where you– I’m gonna stop talking now. It seems that I hit on a sensitive topic.

Li: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. I have nothing to hide. Whether jack was freaking out or not means very little to me. He and I are no longer together.

Bill: Sorry to hear that.

Li: I’m not. He lied to me most of our marriage. An affair. A child out of wedlock.

Bill: With sheila carter.

Li: I love my son more than anything. I’ll always be thankful that I adopted him. But the levels of deception jack went through pretending the child we were raising wasn’t biologically his. An affair I might have gotten over. But I will never forgive him for the amount of disrespect he showed me. Or for bringing that awful woman into our lives.

Hope: Hopefully, I will be able to get through to thomas when I talk to him, but I’m not so sure.

Liam: I mean, here’s the thing. He– he says that he wants what’s best for his son, but– like that’s obviously staying with hope and me where he’s secure and happy.

Deacon: Exactly. I mean, look, if thomas would just stop for a second and think what it is that he’s just–

Brooke: This is thomas we’re talking about. Does he ever stop to think? I mean, everything was going so well. You created such a beautiful, loving home for him. He has two very capable parents. An amazing role model in liam.

Hope: I just– I can’t– can’t imagine douglas leaving and what that would mean.

Brooke: Well, I can’t imagine that either. What would it mean to you? And to beth? Okay, so maybe thomas has made some improvements, but is he stable? Is he stable enough to care for douglas on his own? I honestly don’t think he ever will be.

Steffy: Hold on. Hope flat out shut you down?

Thomas: No, no it’s not that. She didn’t even say no. She just said it was a conversation for another time.

Taylor: Why would she wanna put it off?

Thomas: She didn’t want douglas overhear.

Taylor: And say, “oh, yes, “I’d love to live with my dad.” That’s probably what she was afraid of.

Ridge: Maybe she felt threatened. How did you phrase it?

Thomas: No, it’s not like that. It was just a suggestion. Okay. I– I just told her that I wanna be around my son. I wanna be with him more time than I have not with him.

Ridge: All right. But, you know, this is the last thing that douglas needs, right? This just doesn’t need to get contentious.

Thomas: No, I– that’s the last thing I want too. Douglas’ needs come first.

Steffy: Yeah. He needs you. He needs time with his father.

Taylor: Yeah, but ridge I don’t– I don’t think it– it doesn’t have to be contentious. It really doesn’t have to be. But– but, you know, hope doesn’t have the right to make this whole decision on any of this, especially with douglas saying that he thinks his father misses him. That’s not okay. Something needs to be done.

Steffy: He’s lived primarily with hope for a long time now, and it has been a loving, nurturing environment. Anyone can see that. But you could provide that, especially now that you’re doing so much better. I mean, obviously, we understand that douglas was staying with hope while you were working on yourself. But mom is right. You’ve made some huge strides. No one can question that, especially hope.

Thomas: I don’t think she is questioning that. I– I just think that she doesn’t want douglas to leave.

Steffy: You’re the biological parent, not hope. I know I’ve been very vocal about li being finn’s mother and not sheila, but that is something completely different. Sheila chose to give up her son. Caroline did not. She would never have walked away from douglas. She died. Okay. And hope wanted to fill that role? Fine. She’s the mother now. No one is saying she’s not gonna have time with douglas. But I think it’s clear you’re the one and only living parent, thomas. It’s time to acknowledge that. It’s time to stand up to hope. And to brooke. To all of the logans. They’re the ones who should be visiting douglas, not you. Douglas needs to come home to his family. That’s us. The forresters.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: So that’s how it ends, a bear mauling?

Sanchez: And as I said, we found shreds of she was bloodstained clothing, her driver’s license, busted cell phone. And… most shocking of all, middle toe. I know it’s gruesome, I apologize. I hesitated to bring it, but–

Taylor: No, no. We’re– we’re glad you did.

Steffy: We’ve been through a lot with sheila. But to realize it’S…

Li: To realize that she can do no further harm. It’s a huge relief.

Brooke: So, all that extra security that ridge hired–

Sanchez: Yes. That’s no longer necessary. The dna evidence is indisputable. Sheila’s dead.

Liam: Everything okay at home?

Hope: Oh, yes. Apparently, douglas and beth have roped giselle into making cookies.

Liam: I guess we should be thankful we were able to get a sitter on such short notice.

Hope: I just– I had to get out of there and touch base with you. I hope you understand. It’s just– I don’t want douglas to overhear–

Liam: I– listen, listen. I completely get it.

Hope: I wish I did. Because, why now? Why is thomas bringing this up now?

Liam: I don’t know. You know, it could all just be from that one comment of douglas’s, right? That, you know, he wants to see his dad more often. He wonders if his dad misses him when he’s not around. I mean, that– that could have been all it took for thomas to start thinking about making douglas live with him.

Hope: Or maybe this is just been a thought in the back of thomas’s mind, and he’s just been waiting to bring it up.

Liam: I mean, yeah, maybe. Maybe. But I think it’s pretty hard to argue with the fact that douglas is thriving right now. So why you would upset that, I don’t– I don’t know.

Hope: Exactly. Douglas has a loving, stable home with us. And that is something that unfortunately, thomas hasn’t always been able to provide. So, I don’t know, liam. I thought this was settled.

Liam: Yeah, so did I. But apparently not so much for thomas.

Hope: The things that he said. If douglas actually goes to live with him, what the reality of that would be like. Not having douglas be a part of our daily life. That would upset beth so much and– I mean, it would upset all of us. I’m getting upset already just thinking about it. So.

Deacon: Okay. Inventory is done, I’ve updated the stock list.

Bartender: Nice. Bathrooms?

Deacon: Ah, yeah. They’re cleaned and checked.

Bartender: Alley?

Deacon: Swept it. It’s clear. Hey, do you mind if I took an early lunch?

Bartender: Sure.

Liam: I know this is hard, but try not to get ahead of yourself because all thomas has done so far is mention it, right? He hasn’t like demanded that douglas come to live with him or anything.

Hope: Yet. What if he does? What if he does get the courts involved? What if he does want to renegotiate our agreement? I don’t–

Deacon: Hey guys. I was over at the bar and I– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Sanchez: I know this is all been very shocking. I apologize. Does anyone else have any questions that you need me to answer?

Taylor: I think we are all just trying to take it in. It’s a lot.

Brooke: We expected sheila to be caught at some point, but to find out that she’s dead.

Eric: In such a horrific way, it’s just–

Steffy: Thank you for everything, detective.

Finn: What happens now?

Sanchez: Well, as far as the department is concerned, it’s a closed case. Sheila’s never going to bother anyone again.

Brooke: Oh, that’s always hard to comprehend. After everything she’s done to all of us through the years.

Li: Sorry, sweetheart. I know the woman gave birth to you. But–

Finn: No. It’s okay. You’re right. It’s hard to feel any sympathy for her.

Sanchez: I have to get back to the precinct.

Brooke: All right. Thank you, detective sanchez. We’ll tell ridge what you said.

Sanchez: Thank you. Have a good day.

Li: Thank you.

Taylor: I– I can’t quite believe that sheila’s gone.

Brooke: Yeah. [ Sighs ] I’m having some trouble with that myself. But like detective sanchez said, the dna is indisputable.

Thomas: Um. Why is detective sanchez here? What happened?

Taylor: Um, something… grisly.

Steffy: We have some news.

Thomas: News? About sheila? Has she been found?

Steffy: Um.

Taylor: Well, yeah, he had photos and dna evidence and… something–

Steffy: A toe.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: Sheila carter’s middle toe to be precise.

Thomas: Okay, wait. It doesn’t– what– are you saying that sheila’s–

Steffy: Sheila’s dead.

Taylor: Yeah. We’ll fill you in on everything later. You know, forgive me for maybe not believing it. But sheila’s pulled this before. You remember, she apparently died in genoa city, and then she showed up here. So, I might need some more evidence.

Steffy: The police are convinced they have dna evidence to back it up.

Eric: Look, I know it’s hard to understand. But none of us ever thought this day would come.

Taylor: But it’s finally happened. Sheila’s gone, thomas. She’s out of our lives forever. I will do great things today.

Bill: This is a welcomed surprise, li.

Li: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Bill: No, no, not at all. In fact, when security called and said it was you, I was glad to hear. You’re looking so much better than when I last saw you. Healthy. You’re fully recovered.

Li: I think so, yes.

Bill: Good. Glad to hear that. Can I get you anything? Drink, coffee, tea?

Li: No, thank you. I realize you’re a busy man. I just wanted to stop by to thank you for everything you did for me. For my son.

[ Sigh ] We owe you.

Deacon: This is totally nuts. I mean, what the hell is thomas thinking here? From everything you’ve told me about this guy, it already seems like he’s missing the rice and beans off the combo platter. I mean, douglas is a part of your family now.

Hope: Yes, but thomas is douglas’s father, and he can revisit the custody agreement if he wants douglas to live with him.

Deacon: You’re not going to let this happen, right? You’re going to put a stop to it.

Liam: Well, there– there’s nothing to put a stop to yet. All thomas has done so far is float the idea.

Deacon: Liam, listen to me, all right. You got to get out in front of this. You’ve got to go on the offensive. Hope is douglas’ mother. He belongs with her. With your family. I mean, that’s where the little guys happiest, right? Right? Look, you cannot allow thomas to call the shots. Because if you do–

Hope: Dad, it’s okay. It’s okay. All right. I love that you care so much.

Deacon: Of course, ldre. I know how much you love that kid.

Hope: And he means a lot to thomas, too. I know he misses his son. I know that he loves his son.

Deacon: If he loves his son, if he wants to do what’s best for him, which is leaving him right where he is. Okay? Right where he is with you and liam and beth.

Steffy: It was sheila’s toe, thomas. And hair and blood. The dna matches.

Eric: I know this is hard for you to believe.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s just. You know, a part of me thinks or thought, I guess, that she would get away with it. I mean, she always has before. Why would this be any different?

Taylor: But this is different. It is.

Thomas: I guess I just need time for it to sink in. And what this means.

Brooke: What it means is that sheila is finally out of our lives for good. And our lives can go back to the way they were before she showed up out of the blue at finn and steffy’s wedding.

Finn: And that really was the start of this nightmare. This is the end.

Eric: What I hate is that I feel so responsible that I’m the one who brought her into our lives and into this family.

Brooke: Oh, eric, don’t do that. How could you have known all those years ago that she would end up doing the things that she did?

Taylor: That’s right. Sheila was such a cunning person.

Brooke: She was. But now we don’t have to worry about that. She’s gone. She’s finally gone. – Hey honey. – Hey dad.

Bill: You don’t owe me anything, li. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Li: The alley behind the restaurant at the wharf?

Bill: Yeah. You were in obvious distress. You didn’t want to go to the hospital. So, I– I just did the next best thing.

Li: Brought me here. Took care of me.

Bill: I really didn’t do much.

Li: You called your friend, the doctor. You had him come by. Examine me. It’s very kind of you.

Bill: All right. Well, let’s– let’s keep that under wraps. I have a wicked reputation to protect. Anyway, if I had known you were finn’s mother.

Li: I was deeply traumatized. I didn’t even know who I was.

Bill: That’s completely understandable considering what you went through because of sheila carter.

Li: Yes. And that’s the other reason why I came. Not only to thank you for what you did for finn and me, but also to tell you about sheila. She’s dead.

Liam: Listen, hope and I totally agree here. Douglas is happy. He’s part of our family. He’s part of our life.

Hope: And as of right now, thomas can see douglas whenever he wants. Just uprooting douglas from everything that he knows and he loves, I just– I think it’s wrong for many reasons.

Deacon: Want me to talk to thomas? You know, maybe explain things to him?

Liam: Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no. Ah. Ah. Thank you. As satisfying as that would be, I think hope and i should handle this.

Deacon: I’m happy to do it.

Liam: Yeah, I bet you are.

Hope: Uh, dad, thank you for the offer. But I think this is something that liam and I should handle together.

Liam: Especially given that we don’t know that thomas is going to follow through on this one little comment he made, right?

Brooke: Oh.

Deacon: Hey.

Brooke: Hello, everybody.

Hope: Mom, what are you doing here?

Brooke: Oh. I didn’t– I knew you’re going to be here with liam because your sitter told me, but I didn’t know you’d be here with your father. So–

Deacon: Why– we just bumped into each other during my shift. Brooke, you okay? You look a little, I don’t know.

Brooke: Yes, I’m– I’m okay.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Really. I’m– I’m relieved, actually. Uh. I am still in a bit of shock.

Deacon: What– what is going on?

Liam: Yeah. What happened?

Brooke: Well, it appears that we don’t have to worry about sheila carter anymore. She’s not going to harm our family ever again.

Hope: They arrested her?

Brooke: Well, they didn’t have to. Apparently, she already met her grisly death when they found her.

Ridge: Mauled by a bear. And the only thing that’s left of sheila is one toe. Sanchez just sent me a picture.

Taylor: Oh. Come on. Why?

Ridge: Why? Because I need a reminder that she can’t hurt us anymore.

Thomas: That feels good, actually.

Ridge: Yeah, it does, right? Where’s finn?

Steffy: He’s at the hospital getting checked out.

Ridge: Getting checked out? Is he– is he hiding something? Is there something going?

Steffy: No, no. He and the doctors are just being super cautious.

Taylor: Well, that’s good. They need to be super cautious. And he needs to take extra good care of himself, especially after everything he’s gone through.

Steffy: He is. Physically, he’s back to his normal self.

Taylor: How about emotionally, after hearing the news of sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, well, she did give birth to him.

Thomas: She also shot him.

Taylor: Yeah, but she gave birth to him.

Steffy: Which I’m not insensitive to. After what sheila did to the two of us, our– our family. But I have to believe that finn realizes sheila being gone is a blessing. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Bill: Sheila’s middle toe? And sanchez actually showed it to you?

Li: As you can imagine, it wasn’t the easiest to look at.

Bill: Oh, I’ll bet. I understand why he did it. I mean, sheila’s cheated death so many times that it’s hard to believe that it finally caught up with her.

Li: Between the dna from her toe and all the other evidence, there’s no question it was her.

Bill: Well, it is more than fitting that she met her demise being mauled by an animal. She was an animal herself. Thank you for telling me what happened.

Li: I wanted to be the one to tell you. But really, I came by to thank you. For everything you did for finn and me. I’ve heard the stories of how ruthless you can be. But you showed your kindness and compassion to a total stranger. And to me, that speaks volumes to the kind of man you truly are.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Brooke: I know. I felt the same way. But detective sanchez really had no choice. Ridge was very skeptical, even after hearing about the bear mauling and having sheila’s personal belongings found. He wanted more proof. We all did.

Hope: And sheila’s toe was it?

Brooke: We know what she was capable of. The detective said that her toe and all of the evidence that was found is conclusive. Sheila carter is dead. We don’t have to worry about her tormenting our family ever again. Her reign of terror is over. At long last.

Taylor: You know, this– this kind of feels too good to be true.

Thomas: Sheila gone from all our lives?

Taylor: But I feel like I should feel bad about it, you know? I mean, sheila was killed in such a horrific way.

Ridge: That’s poetic justice, really. When she attacked us so many times and tried to destroy our lives.

Steffy: She almost succeeded. She shot me. She shot finn. She tried to put an end to our love, our family. But it failed. Now, this is a new beginning for my husband and me. Not only that, it’s a– it’s a new beginning for all of us. You too, dad. Mom told me what happened in monaco.

Thomas: Wait. Hold on. What happened in monaco?

Steffy: Mom and dad kissed.

Thomas: What? Really? That’s awesome.

Taylor: No, steffy. This– this really– really isn’t the time.

Steffy: I think it is the perfect time. I really do. Because if I’ve learned something throughout all of this, I’ve learned seriously that life is fleeting. I almost lost finn, and I was absolutely devastated. But miraculously, he’s now with the children and me again. Just shows you that love can never be wasted. We should never take it for granted. That is why I’m telling you, dad, to look at mom. See her for the incredible woman that she is. I mean, hello. See the life in the future you two could have with each other. Because I know that you two think you shared this kiss because of what happened between finn and me. But the truth is, you two kissed because you love each other. And you love me.

Ridge: Love each other, yes. Not in love.

Steffy: Life is short, dad. Come on, don’t waste it. Go back to mom. We all know how much you love her. Come back to the forresters.

[Finn chuckling]

Finn: Last night was… incredible.

Steffy: It was amazing, two of us reconnecting, waking up in our bed. Did that really happen?

Finn: It really happened.

[Steffy laughs]

Steffy: I stared at you all night. I was like touching you to make sure you were real, that you weren’t going away.

Finn: I am home. I’m never leaving you, hayes, and kelly ever.

Steffy: I am so lucky. We’re so lucky to be a family again.

Hope: Mmm. How much longer can we get away with this?

Liam: I don’t know. ‘Til one of the kids comes running in with a skinned knee, probably.

Hope: Oh, the fact that beth is finally old enough to play outside with douglas all on her own.

Liam: God, it’s life changing. It’s absolutely life changing.

Hope: We really have it good, don’t we?

Liam: Yeah. Healthy kids, happy marriage. Check. Check.

[Hope chuckles]

Hope: Our family’s thriving. You know, I can’t help but think about steffy and finn and the joy that they must feel with their family back together.

Liam: I know, all is right with the world. Um– okay, except for one thing.

Hope: Oh. Sheila. Mm. Yes. As it the extra security on the property wasn’t enough of a reminder.

Liam: Should be nice when she’s uh, behind bars. Forever.

Brooke: Yeah, I’m looking at it now. The packet and the inserts are great. And the release. Oh, wait, hang on. Oh, I’m getting a call. I’ll talk to you later, okay? Hello?

Det. Sanchez: Mrs. Forrester. It’s detective sanchez.

Brooke: Hi, detective sanchez. What can I do for you?

Det. Sanchez: I’m calling about sheila carter.

Brooke: What about sheila?

Det. Sanchez: I’m actually looking for ridge.

Can’t seem to find him.

Brooke: Ridge went downtown for a meeting and he left his phone here. I think he’s on his way back soon. Is there anything i can help you with?

Det. Sanchez: We have an update on sheila. Deputy chief baker is tied up in court. He asked that I meet with ridge and the rest of the family in person.

Brooke: Okay, well, I could have everybody meet here at forrester. What’s this about?

Det. Sanchez: I’ll explain when I see you.

[Brooke sighing]

Hope: Do you really have to be wearing a shirt right now?

Liam: Well, you’re welcome to come over here and take it back off me.

Hope: Oh, don’t tempt me with a good time.

Thomas: Knock, knock.

Hope: Oh, hey, thomas.

Liam: Hey!

Thomas: Hey. I just came by to see douglas.

Liam: Uh yeah, he and beth are on the tennis court playing right now. They should be back any second.

Thomas: Cool. Good to see you guys.

Liam: Yeah, you too.

Hope: So, how are steffy and finn readjusting? We were so thrilled for them. They really must be walking on air right now.

Thomas: Yeah, actually, I think that that’s a great way to describe it.

Steffy: There is just so much I want to do with you. So much time we need to make up for!

Finn: Oh, we will.

Steffy: Oh.

[Knocking] Mm. That’s my mom, honey.

Steffy: Mm.

Finn: Hey, mom.

Li: Sweetheart. How are you feeling?

Finn: I’m good. I’m uh, better every second I get to spend with my beautiful wife.

Li: Nice to see you, steffy.

Steffy: You too. Hayes and kelly are still at the park with the babysitter. But don’t worry, we have security keeping an eye on them.

Li: Can’t be too careful with sheila on the loose.

[Phone rings]

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Brooke.

Brooke: Steffy, hi. Detective sanchez just called for your father. He said he had an update on sheila.

Steffy: On sheila?

Brooke: He was hoping we could all meet here in the office. When would you be able to get here?

Steffy: Li just showed up at the house but we can– we can go right now. I’ll– I’ll text my mom. Thanks. They have news about sheila.

Finn: Okay, well, let’s– let’s, let’s go.

Steffy: Okay. Yes.

Thomas: Sheila can’t keep running forever.

Liam: Yeah, mean time, we just have to stay vigilant, make sure she doesn’t have any more opportunities to cause damage.

Hope: Well, I think all of our concerns are definitely justified but I do think it is important for us to focus on the wins, too. And, finn coming back into our lives is a big one.

Thomas: You know, if there’s anything I’ve learned from, you know, my sister and her husband’s situation is that life is short. Make every second count.

Liam: There’s some words to live by.

Hope: The kids!

Thomas: There they are. Hey!

Hope: Hi, sweetie!

Thomas: Hey, bud. Did you guys have fun playing outside?

Douglas: Yeah, and we played jump rope.

Hope: Oh! I bet you learned from the best.

Douglas: I can’t wait ’til we get to see aunt steffy ad uncle finn!

Hope: Oh, we are excited, too.

Douglas: Hey, could you come outside with me and throw the baseball?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. It’s, like, my favorite thing in the world to do! Come on. Awesome.

Liam: See you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, see ya.

Liam: That right there is a happy, well-adjusted kid.

Hope: Mm, he is, isn’t he?

Liam: Because of you.

Hope: Well, that’s sweet of you to say that.

Liam: It’s sweet of me to say, it’s also the truth. You turned that kid’s life around after caroline d-I-e-D.

Hope: Well, douglas means the world to me. I don’t know what i would do without him.

Taylor: Okay, so– so what’s the news?

Brooke: All detective sanchez said was that it’s regarding sheila.

Eric: Yeah.

[Taylor sighing]

Steffy: What’s going on? Is dad back yet? Where is detective sanchez?

Brooke: The detective’s on his way and hopefully your father is, too. But he left his phone here and we can’t reach him.

Eric: Steffy, finn. It’s still amazing to see the two of you together again.

Taylor: I know. I feel the same way. It’s so good seeing them together. And we have li to thank for that. But li, I– I have to ask, why, why didn’t you tell steffy or any of us that you had finn and you were keeping him alive?

Li: I understand both your and steffy’s frustration.

Taylor: Okay. I just– I just wish that you would have at least told steffy, it would have saved your son’s wife a lot of pain and suffering.

Li: Looking back, I may have done things differently but please know that I never meant to hurt or deceive any of you. Finn’s condition was so fragile, the likelihood of him standing like this with us today… miraculously, my boy pulled through.

Taylor: Yes. And for that we are, we are very grateful.

Brooke: Detective sanchez, welcome.

Detective sanchez: Thank you all for coming. Is ridge…?

Eric: He’s on his way. Uh, we’d like to hear what’s going on.

Detective sanchez: Like i told brooke on the phone, I have the latest on sheila carter.

Steffy: Do you know where she is?

Detective sanchez: Yes. We’ve located the fugitive. Nexgard is the flea and tick protection

[Hope sighs]

Hope: Well, beth is all set up in her room with a movie.

Liam: Aww. Well, like she said, she’s a big girl now.

[Hope laughs] So…

Hope: Look, I don’t want to jinx anything. But I think this might be the perfect day.

Liam: Sure started out that way, didn’t it?

Hope: It did.

Liam: Hey. How’d it go?

Thomas: Wow. Okay, so, I don’t know if you guys have seen this yet but douglas has a cannon for an arm.

Hope: Oh, atta boy, kiddo! Yes!

Thomas: I am seriously impressed. That was an awesome job out there.

Liam: This is what I’m talking about. Finally, finally, an athlete in the family.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You keep practicing every day and you might pitch for the dodgers. How’d you like that?

Douglas: That would be awesome.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Um, yeah, it would.

Douglas: Um, thanks for helping me, dad.

Thomas: You don’t have to thank me, bud. I’m always here for you. I’m your father.

Douglas: Yeah, I know, I’m– I miss you a lot. I wish we could be together more. Um, do you miss me when we’re not together?

Thomas: Of course I miss you, douglas. And– I– look, I know maybe it doesn’t feel that way all the time because I’m not around as much. But you know that I– I love you, right?

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. You just– you just don’t like it when we don’t get to spend as much time together? Got it. Okay, well, look, I’ll tell you something. Even when we’re not physically together, we’re still kind of together because I’m always thinking about you. All right? Every moment of the day, I’m thinking about how your day’s going. When I go to sleep at night, I’m thinking, “how did his day go?” And, you know, “did he have fun at school or at camp?” And I try, you know, I try to keep in touch with your mom and make sure that you’re doing okay. But, maybe it’s not enough. Come here.

Finn: You found sheila?

Li: You have her in custody.

Detective sanchez: I didn’t say that.

Taylor: What are you saying?

Detective sanchez: This is what we know: Sheila carter was on the run. She was hiding out in the city. And at some point, she left los angeles.

Steffy: You lost track of her?

Detective sanchez: Security cameras spotted sheila somewhere outside of the sierras at a convenience store. Here are some stills from that camera footage.

Eric: Yeah, look. It does look like her.

Finn: That’s her.

Taylor: What does this mean, exactly?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s just a photograph. That’s all you got?

Detective sanchez: Well, we also found an abandoned car out there that we pulled sheila’s fingerprints from. And then at a campsite in the sierras, park ranger found some– very disturbing evidence.

Eric: Evidence like what?

Detective sanchez: Someone was attacked by a bear.

Taylor: A bear?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you serious?

Detective sanchez: Here, see for yourself. Although I should warn you.

Finn: Wait, is– so this is–

Detective sanchez: Photos of what’s left of sheila and some of her personal belongings.

Eric: Wait, what– what’s left of her?

Li: Everything’s ripped to shreds.

Detective sanchez: It was a chilling scene. We found her driver’s license and a broken cell phone. And this is an evidence bag. Contains some of sheila’s hair and her torn, bloodstained clothing. I mean, you get the picture.

Finn: Oh, man.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you sure this is sheila? You’re absolutely certain?

Detective sanchez: Dna evidence is indisputable. Points to one person and one person only. I will do great things today.

Douglas: Hey, um, dad, can we throw the ball some more?

Hope: Actually, douglas, honey, you still have that one chapter left of your summer reading.

Douglas: But I want to play with dad.

Thomas: It’s all right. We’ll– we’ll play a little bit later, all right, bud?

Douglas: Oh. Oh, okay.

Thomas: Okay.

[Door shuts] Yeah. Thanks uh, thanks for creating such a wonderful home for douglas.

Hope: Of course, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.

Thomas: I’m glad to hear you say that because it’s really hard hearing douglas talk about how much he misses me. It makes me feel like, well, I’m not pulling my weight as a father.

Liam: Oh, I– I can tell you, he doesn’t doubt how much you love him. He knows.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want him to ever question that. I gotta say, he does have a reason to feel overlooked.

Hope: He would never feel that way.

Thomas: Obviously he does. Look, I– I was already thinking about this. Um, I asked granddad if I can move in with him and um, I think it’d be great if douglas moved in, too. That way, the father and the son can spend time together like they should. I would love that. And I think douglas would too.

Hope: Wait, so are you suggesting that douglas move out of here, the home that he knows with his sister to go live with you?

Thomas: Yeah, I think it’s time. And obviously you can see him whenever you want.

Hope: You know what? I think this is a conversation that we should have later because I don’t want douglas to overhear anything. So I think we should table this discussion right now.

Thomas: Okay. I’ll go. I don’t want to upset douglas or you, just tell him I said bye.

Liam: We will.

[Hope sighs]

Liam: Uh, wow. That– yeah, that was um, something.

Hope: Can you believe that? Can you believe what he’s asking?

Liam: No– I– I know.

Douglas: Where– where’s dad?

> Hope: Oh. Um–

Liam: Uh…

Hope: You know what, sweetie? Your dad actually, he had to, he had to leave. But he told us to say bye and not to worry, you are going to see him again very, very soon.

Thomas: From now on, I’m gonna be much more involved in your life, douglas. You’re never going to doubt how much your dad loves you.

[Brooke sighs]

Eric: Is this for real?

Li: She was mauled by a bear?

Taylor: How do you know it’s sheila?

Detective sanchez: All the blood, all the evidence we found at the campsite belongs to her.

Finn: So what are you saying?

Taylor: Are you saying that sheila’s dead?

Steffy: She’s gone for good.

Detective sanchez: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Sheila carter’s deceased.

Brooke: I’m still not convinced. Sheila is a master manipulator. And you said you found hair and bloody clothes and an I.D., A phone. But is that all? We need details.

Detective sanchez: There’s one more thing. Look, I understand you’re all skeptical, as was I and the deputy chief. And that’s why I uh, I brought this.

Eric: What is this?

Detective sanchez: It’s another piece of evidence.

Taylor: Is– is that a–?

Detective sanchez: One of sheila’s digits. Her middle toe to be exact.

Brooke: Oh. Oh. Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you okay?

Finn: I– yeah. I’m kind of in shock. And, and I hate to think of my birth mom gone in such a vicious way but we won’t have to worry about her anymore.

Taylor: It’s over. It’s finally over.

Brooke: All the pain that she’s caused.

Eric: All the terrifying things that she’s done to this family.

Sheila: You want to play ugly? I wrote the book on it.

Stephanie: Ah!

Finn: Who are you?

Sheila: I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my mother?

Sheila: No! If one of us isn’t meant to be in finn’s life, it’s gonna be you, steffy. You.

Detective sanchez: There’s no doubt about it. Sheila’s gone. She’s dead. This time forever.

Steffy: You and dad kissed, that has to mean something.

Taylor: It always means something.

Steffy: Okay, so did you guys talk about it?

Taylor: We did, kind of I mean, he’s trying to avoid it and he’s being cute about it, which is totally annoying. So– I don’t know.

Steffy: Look at you. Okay, you don’t know what this meant to dad but it’s uh, it’s pretty clear it meant something to you.

Brooke: Oh ridge, you should be overjoyed right now. Your daughter’s family is back together and her husband is alive.

Ridge: I am extremely grateful for all of that.

Brooke: But… there’s something else on your mind. It’s okay. If there’s something troubling you or you’re worried about something, I’m the one to share it with. So what is it? You can talk to me.

Liam: How long are the kids gonna be out?

Hope: Um, a while I uh, I told aunt donna to text me when she’s coming back.

Liam: That’s a good idea my very smart, very hot wife.

Hope: You know what, I’m full of ideas right now.

Liam: Oh yeah, like what?

Hope: Mmm…

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I’m not trying to make a big deal out of it, you know, it’s– it was just one really long kiss.

Steffy: Yeah, one kiss with the man you love in one of the most romantic places in the world.

Taylor: We had a moment.

Steffy: Just a moment?

Taylor: Uh-huh. I mean, it seemed significant at the time, you know, but as always, it’s complicated.

Steffy: Complications are a cop-out. That’s what I believe now, I do. I mean, ever since the shooting, finn coming back into my life, like, I realized life is too precious. You got to go out there and get what you want.

Taylor: See, that’s never been a problem for you. You’re my inspiration. My brave, adventurous girl.

Finn: Hey, I’m back.

Steffy: Don’t say anything about li

Taylor: Of course not.

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: How was your appointment?

Finn: Good, I mean, I almost missed it. So many people were stopping me to say hello.

Steffy: Okay, what happened with your exam?

Finn: Oh, they’re just, they’re gonna keep me on the same meds that my mom had me on but, I’m doing remarkably well.

Steffy: He didn’t say anything else? That’s it?

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Taylor: Okay, that’s– that’s a relief.

Finn: Okay, well, I hope you aren’t too worried about it. I– I get the feeling like I’m walking in on something.

Steffy: It’s nothing bad. I was just actually having a conversation with my mom. She has, uh, she has some wonderful news.

[ Taylor stammers ]

Brooke: Ridge, you’re very thoughtful and you hate to see the people closest to you upset.

Ridge: It’s true.

Brooke: Is it sheila?

Ridge: Sheila? What? No, I– no. What do you mean? I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I don’t know if something’s on your mind. Is it something about li? Why keep this all bottled up? I mean, we’re so excited about the future.

Ridge: So am I. I am too.

Brooke: Yes, of course you are. You and taylor must be through thrilled to know that finn’s alive, that he’s back with steffy and her family and now you don’t have to worry about her anymore.

Ridge: It was– it was crazy not– not just hearing his voice on the phone that was– was weird enough but then he showed up in the hotel room and it almost felt like, like this– like everything was lifted and this fog was gone and taylor and I, we got swept up in it, you know?

Brooke: I’m sure. What you and taylor shared in monaco must have been extremely special.

Ridge: Yeah, it was.

Without the right start

to your day…

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: I never want this to change.

Liam: Never, huh? You don’t think that could get a little, uh…

Hope: Mmm. Mm-mm. Not with you. And I love you. And I love our family. And I love these moments where we can just reconnect with each other. And bask in each other’s love.

Brooke: I’m not trying to pry. I do understand that what happened in monaco was very significant for you and taylor. You guys are her parents. And you were worried about her. I know it’s hard to see a child suffering and you can’t ease their pain. But after all that time that steffy was grieving, it must’ve been amazing to see her happy again.

Ridge: Just seeing those guys walk into the hotel room holding hands. It– I don’t– I don’t know how to explain it.

Brooke: It’s okay, you don’t have to explain everything to me. Those memories are for you and taylor.

Ridge: It’s just a lot to process.

Brooke: Oh, you’ll just tell me in your own time. I’m just so thrilled for you.

Finn: Wow, unexpected reunions are breaking out all over.

Taylor: Well, it’s–

Steffy: Look you and dad kissed. It doesn’t guarantee anything. But… obviously, you’re feeling something.

Taylor: I sure felt something. What? No, we were swept up in the moment of joy, that was it.

Steffy: I get that you want to protect yourself. You have been burned before.

Taylor: Yeah. Multiple times, for years. Your father just moved in with brooke.

Steffy yeah, but then you guys went to monaco.

Taylor: Yeah, well, that hasn’t changed since we got home.

Steffy: He’s just helping her after her accident.

Taylor: She probably fell on purpose.

Steffy: That’s true

Taylor: No, I think it’s more than him just helping her out.

Steffy: Has he recommitted himself to brooke? No, he hasn’T. And after that kiss, I dunno, he might not.

Taylor: I don’t want to think about it. I– I really don’T. I just, I– I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to get wrapped up in all of this. You know, right now, the most important thing to me is– is you and finn being together. Your beautiful family. You know, you know I came downstairs this morning and– and kelly was singing at the top of her lungs and she was doing these happy little turns in the middle of the living room. And this whole house is filled with love again and joy and happiness. And hayes has his father back and kelly has a reason to sing. Please don’t wish anything for me, okay, because, because my heart’s desire is right here in front of me.

Steffy: I love you so much.

Taylor: I love you too. I love you both. And on that note, I’m gonna get out of here because I’m not sure when amelia’s gonna come back with the kids but you two deserve some much-needed privacy.

Finn: I like the way your mom thinks.

Steffy: So do I.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Finn: We’re alone.

Steffy: Now you can tell me how you really feel.

Finn: What? That’s not obvious?

Steffy: How did it go with the doctors and your appointment?

Finn: It’s kind of a mood killer babe.

Steffy: Not if there’s something wrong.

Finn: There’s not. Okay, I’m all good. I’m still healing but there’s no permanent damage.

Steffy: So… no restrictions. No orders to take it easy.

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: I can, uh, resume normal activity right away.

Steffy: I know how long we’ve been apart. Normal activity means something a little different to us.

Finn: She said not to worry, I’m getting stronger every day.

Steffy: Good. I’m glad to hear it.

Brooke: I hope I didn’t come at a bad time.

Liam: Oh, no, no, no, no, it’s fine.

Hope: Yeah, it’s totally okay. So, how are things going with ridge? Any uh, backlash from that photo I posted yet are we–

Brooke: Honey I told you not to worry about that. Deacon is the last thing on my husband’s mind right now.

Liam: Really? Why? What’s going on?

Brooke: I just think that ridge and taylor are still overwhelmed by finn’s return.

Liam: Well yeah, I mean it’s– it’s emotional whiplash. They went over to monaco because they were so concerned about steffy, only to find out that the man she’s been grieving is alive.

Brooke: Seems like what happened there had a very profound impact on ridge.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Hey, you’re back. Hi.

Taylor: Hi. Is this a bad time?

Ridge: Never a bad time. Actually, I was just thinking about you

Taylor: Yeah? Tell me more.

Steffy: Whoa.

Finn: It’s not quite as romantic as monaco.

>Steffy: It definitely is. To have you be here… in our house… I never thought I was gonna get a moment like this. To see you, to feel you. You have no idea how much I needed that. Kids can change minds…

Liam: Ridge has gotta be thrilled though.

Brooke: Oh he is, of course. We all are. But still, a sudden shift like that, no matter how wonderful it is, can still throw you off balance a little bit.

Liam: Huh. I think I know someone who could help him out with that.

Brooke: Yeah? I’ll be there of course and I’ll be supportive. But still, ridge and taylor experienced something incredible over in monaco, and this is their moment.

Liam: Well, it’s very cool of you to even let them have it, so.

Brooke: A little while ago, I may not have been as magnanimous but ridge is living with me right now. Not sure exactly what that means for our marriage, but I just… I don’t want him to have to choose between our family and his family with taylor.

Ridge: So, what’s it like at the house? Party central, I bet, huh?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, it is. It’s literally the happiest house I’ve ever been in.

Ridge: I bet it is.

Taylor: You’re welcome to join us anytime.

Ridge: Oh, thank you. Yeah, I was thinking about that driving into work this morning, how– how it must be over there at the breakfast table. Everyone laughing and noisy and…

Taylor: Yeah. You miss it?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Like I said, you are welcome to come anytime you want. Except this afternoon.

Ridge: Why not this afternoon?

Taylor: Because um, our daughter and her husband are reconnecting.

Ridge: Oh!

Taylor: Yeah, so–

Ridge: That’s, that’s why you’re here

Taylor: Yes. Yes, I needed to give them some privacy. Right?

Ridge: Enough said. Got it.

Taylor: Ah ridge, it’s– it’s so amazing that finn is home and steffy and finn got a second chance. What’s better than second chances, really? Except for maybe third or whatever the number may be.

Steffy: I thought I lost you

Finn: But you didn’t and you won’T.

Steffy: I’m never gonna take another moment with you for granted. We need to show each other and we need to tell each other… how much we love one another.

Li: I was fighting to keep my son alive.

Steffy: And I will be forever grateful to you for that. But to keep me in the dark all this time? Knowing what finn’s loss did to me and my children? How cruel could you be?

Li: You want to talk about cruel? Cruel is having doctors give up on your only child. Cruel is having to deal with a monster like sheila carter when your entire focus should be on helping your son pull through. I was pushed to my limits!

Steffy: So was I. I was pushed to the limits of my grief!

Li: I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry for all of your pain. But I will never apologize for what I had to do to save my son!

Taylor: Steffy’s world is right again.

Ridge: And her mother can’t stop smiling.

Taylor: Well, neither can her father.

Ridge: Feels good, doesn’t it?

Taylor: It does. Celebrating steffy and finn. He– he’s back, he’s alive! He’s back where he belongs.

Ridge: Doesn’t get better than that.

Taylor: Or does it? You wanna talk about that kiss?

Brooke: Ridge’s focus is where it should be right now, with his daughter and the joy that she’s feeling. The joy that we’re all feeling. And once finn and steffy’s lives settle down, then our lives will settle down too.

Hope: Okay.

Brooke: Ridge is still my husband and he’s here taking care of me and I do feel the love. There is nothing or no one who could keep us apart.

Hope: I really hope you’re right, mom. It’s just… what you were saying earlier about ridge not having recommitted to you yet.

>>Brooke: What I said, honey, is that I believe ridge is going to make a real commitment soon. He’s just not quite there yet.

Hope: Okay, so once things get back to normal, then… you will both focus on getting your marriage back.

Brooke: Yes of course. We still have a marriage, it’s just we haven’t been able to spend much time together because of all of this. We haven’t been able to focus on each other, but I’m sure that will happen. Just right now, I want ridge to be able to spend time with his other family. His son-in-law practically just came back from the grave. And steffy is thrilled and so are the– the kids. Ridge is happy.

Liam: Taylor, too.

Brooke: Yes of course and I’m happy too. I know that ridge is committed to me. There’s nothing that could ever change that.

Ridge: You wanna talk about the kiss?

>>Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: I… I…

Taylor: Okay, okay. Maybe we should just forget it ever happened.

Ridge: Well, I can’t do that.

Steffy: I’m not asking for an apology, li. I just want to know why, why you didn’t tell me about finn?

Li: You were fighting for your own life. You weren’t even conscious. It was hardly the time to say–

Steffy: After I woke up. After I was out of danger and recovering. Do you know what a difference it would’ve made to know that finn was still here? Instead of being told he was gone?

Li: By then sheila was in the picture, and I just–

Steffy: Okay, I– I get that there’s extenuating circumstances. But still… there was so much heartache. Grief so deep I didn’t know if I could make it through.

Li: The only thing I was focused on was finn. I thought you said you were grateful to me?

Steffy: I am. I am grateful beyond words. But it still doesn’t justify letting the children and me suffer. Hi, my name’s steve.

Ridge: Steffy finding her family like that, was amazing.

Taylor: Yes, yes, it was amazing. Steffy has suffered for so long, you know, but watching her walk through that hotel suite, holding finn’s hand and that the pure joy and happiness that was radiating on her face–

Ridge: And love.

Taylor: And love, so much love. They have so much love for each other, kelly and hayes. You, me, steffy, thomas, phoebe, they’ll always be the best part of us ridge. We did good.

Ridge: We did, I agree.

Taylor: You know I said I wanted to give them some time–

Ridge: But you want to go check on them–

Taylor: I’m dying.

>Ridge: Well then you should go. And you know, like, you said… times like these, it seems like anything’s possible.

Brooke: Nothing came of that picture you posted. Ridge wasn’t pleased but we talked it out.

Hope: Are you sure?

Liam: Yo! Your– your mom just told you it’s fine, take the W. Don’t go looking for trouble, esp– especially not now, right? When we should be celebrating steffy and her family being reunited and the joy that that brings us.

Hope: No, you’re right, you’re right. Although, I do wonder about one thing, or, one person. Li. How does steffy feel about her now, knowing that her mother-in-law kept the truth about finn, from her, all this time?

Steffy: All I ever did was love your son.

Li: I know. But you have to understand what finn’s life was like before he met you. Before you brought the chaos and drama.

Steffy: Sheila brought that. If she’d never shown up–

Li: She did! And look what happened… I came within a breath of losing my son forever.

Steffy: You saved him though. But yet you didn’t see fit to tell me. If you were going to tell anyone, it should’ve been–

Li: All right, steffy, fine, fine. Maybe in hindsight, I should’ve done things differently. But, I didn’t have the luxury of time to think it all through clearly. I was absorbed with finn. Doing everything in my power to keep him with us. Which I did. Why don’t you focus on that? Your husband is with you, hayes has his daddy. That’s all we should be concerned about.

Taylor: Steffy? Is everything okay? Li?

Taylor: You confronted her about what she did with finn, huh?

Hope: Liam and I are so excited to see steffy and finn.

Brooke: Me too, but they need their “alone time” first.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, no, no they do, they need a minute but– but, whenever they resurface, I think we should throw them like the biggest party ever.

Ridge: I’m up for that.

Hope: Oh my gosh, ridge, hey. We were just talking about everything that’s happened.

Brooke: And how steffy’s life is whole again.

Liam: Yeah, we’re so excited for, well for steffy and finn and the kids. But also for you and taylor.

>>Ridge: Well, I appreciate that. It’s an amazing time for my family.

Hope: I can only imagine, I mean, that must’ve been such an amazing experience. For you, for taylor.

Ridge: I’m– I’m glad you’re here.

Liam: Wha–, er, what’s up?

Ridge: Just want to thank you for being so kind to steffy when she thought she lost her husband and, and letting her take kelly overseas. You didn’t know how long it was gonna be before you’d see your daughter again and you put steffy first and I’m grateful for that. And I am grateful to your father for what he did, bringing finn to steffy.

>Liam: Have you told him that?

Ridge: He knows how I feel.

Hope: So does this mean you two are best friends now?

Ridge: Yeah, we’re thinking of getting a place together.

Brooke: Well, the important thing is that bill found finn and got him to steffy as soon as possible.

Ridge: It was the reunion of a lifetime.

Hope: Gosh, what a moment that must have been. Steffy seeing finn alive, realizing that he wasn’t lost to her after all.

Brooke: Because of li. She single-handedly kept her son from slipping away.

Liam: Yeah, that’s the thing though li, would do anything for finn and obviously did. But yeah, I’m kinda with hope on this one, I don’t really understand why she had to keep the truth about him from everyone as long as she did.

Hope: Well, I’m sure li had her reasons. But to keep that from steffy, all that time. I can only imagine it’s going to create a strain in their relationship.

Steffy: Part of me wants to just scream at li, for not telling me that finn was alive. Like she says that she knows that I was suffering. That my heart broke for kelly and hayes, but does she really know that? Does she know that I was drowning in grief?

Taylor: Oh, honey.

Steffy: She got to see finn. She got to touch him. She got to hear him breathe. She had hope. I didn’t have hope because I didn’t know the truth. Like what am I supposed to do with this mom? How am I supposed to forgive her?

Taylor: Tell me– tell me everything she said?

Steffy: Li thinks finn’s life would be less “complicated” if he hadn’t met me. Got involved in our family, which I think is the most, it’s the craziest thing I have ever heard. We are not responsible for sheila having an affair with jack! Sheila being finn’s birth mother! Sheila showing up– showing up at our wedding! Like, we had nothing to do with that!

Taylor: No, no, and I– I have some questions for li myself. And I know your father does too. Oh, honey, I know how frustrated you are with all of this, especially with this narrative that li is using as an excuse of why she had finn. But… but she saved finn’s life. That’s what we’re focusing on, right? It’s truly is a miracle.

Steffy: Uh huh. And I will be forever grateful for that. Finn didn’t die in the alley. My worst nightmare is now my… now my greatest joy. I have my husband back. My family and my future couldn’t be brighter. (Nathan m) secondhand smoke

Liam: I just couldn’t get a gauge, you know, could you, like, like how ridge actually feels about what li did? ‘Cause, on the one hand, you know, I’m sure he’s grateful that she– she saved him. But li also could’ve just told steffy and that would’ve changed every– what?

Hope: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t want to talk about ridge or li or my mom anymore. The kids are out of the house, we are all alone, and you know what that means?

Brooke: So, how does it feel?

Ridge: What?

Brooke: After all the worry about steffy and the kids, to know that you don’t have to worry anymore?

Ridge: Ah, come on, you’re always going to worry about your kids, right? Doesn’t matter if they’re doing well or not.

Brooke: Well, that’s true.

Ridge: But I know what you mean. A whole, big weight has been lifted.

Brooke: That’s good. I really am happy for you. You know, wereally haven’t been able to “celebrate” your return, since you’ve been back. I think we should remedy that.

Taylor: Well, I’m glad that finn’s getting checked out to make sure that he’s healing properly.

Steffy: Oh, thank you.

Taylor: You’re welcome.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. So, what’s going on with you?

Taylor: Not much. I mean, I am just– just happy and concentrating on my– my daughter’s happiness,

Steffy: I– I love that… but, I can tell there’s something going on, there’s something on your mind.

Taylor: There’s always something on my mind but I just– I want you to concentrate on finn and your beautiful family.

Steffy: I can also concentrate on my beautiful, talented mom. I’m gonna keep asking, if there’s something going on with you, I’m gonna keep nagging–

Taylor: Fine! It has to do with your father and me.

Steffy: You and dad?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Uh huh?

Taylor: Okay, but before I tell you I want to paint the picture.

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Okay, so, ridge and I were feeling very euphoric when we were in monaco. Right? We were filled with joy and happiness for you, knowing that you had reconnected with finn and… we kind of got swept up in a moment.

Steffy: Swept up, how?

Taylor: Well, we were in this– this breathtaking setting and you know we were, we were feeling very, very connected after what we had just experienced together. It was very significant and very, very powerful and… I guess… we just kissed.

Steffy: You and dad?

Taylor: Yeah, it was a really good kiss, it was– yeah.

Steffy: That’s wonderful.

Taylor: I mean–

Steffy: I’m, I’m– no, I’m really, I’m really happy for you. You already know what my next question is gonna be.

Steffy and taylor: What does this mean for you and dad?

Brooke: Ridge, I know you better than anybody. What’s going on?

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: Really appreciate you fitting me in. Great. Okay, I’ll see you then.

Steffy: Do you have an appointment?

Finn: Yeah. Turns out I still have connections at the hospital, even after death.

Steffy: Yeah, babe, I’m just not ready to joke about that just yet. But it is good that you’re going in to get checked out by a specialist.

[ Knocking at door ]

Finn: I mean, I’m feeling better every day, but it’s probably best that I make sure I’m healing correctly. Mom. Hey! Hi. Oh, hi.

Hope: Wow. What was that about?

Liam: What was– what, I– I can’t kiss my hot wife when I want? I got to fill out an application? Is there a waiting period? What’s the…

Hope: Good answer.

Liam: All right. Maybe I’m a little extra affectionate just because I’m not taking anything for granted.

Hope: I think we’re all feeling that way.

Hope: You know, I think there’s love in the air now knowing that finn’s alive.

Liam: Yeah. A lot of love in the air. And gratitude and joy. It’s about damn time.

Brooke: I’m so happy for you, ridge, thinking that you are going to monaco to help your grieving daughter and instead… wow. What she must have felt. How was it? Being swept away in that magical moment?

Ridge: May I say something?

Taylor: I think you’re

going to anyway, but sure.

Ridge: You’ve been our

strength through

this whole ordeal,

you’ve been a rock.

Maybe the only true thing

in all of this.

Hope: Heard you on the phone with kelly earlier. She seemed excited.

Liam: Oh, my god. It was like her birthday and christmas all rolled into one. Did you– did you– could you overhear her talking about hayes? How like, “his daddy’s home, “his daddy’s home.” Which I feel like every kid deserves. What? Did I say something?

Hope: Oh, no, no, no, no. I just– I’m thinking about my own dad, and I might have done something.

Liam: Oh. Okay.

Hope: It was totally innocent.

Liam: Well, what was it?

Hope: Uh, you know what? I feel silly for even bringing it up right now. Now is the time to celebrate and not dwell on stupid mistakes.

Liam: Yo, what is the mistake?

Hope: It’s something that could potentially affect my mother’s marriage.

Taylor: And the most frustrating thing is we didn’t know where steffy was.

Thomas: What?

Taylor: So the therapist came to the hotel and she explained that steffy had gone on a walk. She didn’t know when she was coming back. And then finn shows up out of nowhere. And here we are with this amazing news. And we can’t find steffy. The one thing that would heal steffy from her grief.

Thomas: Right. Okay. So how long was it before steffy came back?

Taylor: I don’t know. I mean, you know, finn, finn went out to look for her, and then your father and I did, and luckily, finn found her.

Thomas: Wow. Steffy must have been… oh, man. It’s just– it’s crazy to think about, you know? This whole whirlwind our family’s been going through this, the pain and devastation, and it seems like maybe it’s turning around. Maybe, maybe we all have hope going forward.

Taylor: I think so. I think there’s hope.

Brooke: You okay?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I’m good. Why?

Brooke: Just seemed like your mind went elsewhere. And I think I know where. You saw it, didn’t you. That selfie that hope posted of me and deacon in the office.

Ridge: I did see that.

Li: You have no idea how good it feels to see you like this. Up and about. Home with your family.

Finn: Thanks to you, mom. Because you– you saved me. If it weren’t for you and your belief that I could pull through, mom, I wouldn’t be here.

Li: I wasn’t giving up. No matter what any other doctor said. I never allow anything or anyone to take you away from me. Never. For copd,

Hope: I really didn’t mean any harm by it.

Liam: No, of course you didn’T. I still understand your mom’s concern.

Hope: Well, I do, too. If ridge sees that photo, it could potentially cause problems. I just– hopefully, once my mom explains the intention behind it, it will be okay. It was just an innocent happy moment for me posing with both of my parents. I mean, come on, how often have I been able to do that in my life?

Liam: Hey, I get it. I totally get it. I just, I– I’m just saying, I also get why your mom would want you to take the photo down, given how ridge feels about your dad.

Hope: Oh, I know.

Liam: Especially since he and taylor have been traveling together. You know, presumably they’ve been bonding, especially over the, you know, reunion of steffy and finn. It just– it may not be an ideal time for ridge to be seeing reminders of the problems he’s had with brooke. 7

Brooke: Ridge, if you’re upset with–

Ridge: I’m not upset. I’m not thrilled. I know what I am. You– look, you told me that you wanted to stay away from deacon. I leave town for five minutes. You invite him over to forrester.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Wait a minute. First of all, I did not invite him over. Hope brought him and she had every right to and– okay, maybe you’re right. I should have left the second I saw him.

Ridge: I saw the picture. I didn’t like it. Can we just leave it there? Can we do that? I think– the thing that matters right now is that my daughter has her life back.

Brooke: Yeah, that’s what matters. Finn is alive. He’s back with his family where he belongs. And you got to be there. You got to witness it all. That must have been very exciting. I can only imagine the euphoria that you and taylor are feeling right now.

Thomas: So, how did the kids react?

Taylor: Oh, thomas, the look on kelly’s face it– you know what was even better? The look on finn’s face when he held his son. It was amazing.

Zende: Hey, taylor.

Taylor: Hey!

Zende: Come over here. Hi. I am so happy for you and the family.

Taylor: Thank you, zende. Thank you. It’s wonderful.

Zende: I spoke with uncle ridge. I’ve never heard him on such a high. I mean, I still can’t quite believe it.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s ’cause it’s unbelievable. I mean, finn was dead, at least, you know, the medics, everyone thought so. But apparently, li just kept him alive all that time.

Taylor: Yeah.

Finn: I know you just got here, but I actually have a doctor’s appointment I need to get to.

Li: Oh, good. ‘Cause I was actually wondering how your new medication was.

Steffy: We’ve got an appointment. I’m coming with you.

Finn: Honey, I appreciate you wanting to be there, but pretty confident I can handle this on my own. I know my way around the hospital.

Steffy: I just don’t want you to take on too much, too soon.

Finn: If I can run around monaco to reunite with my beautiful wife, I don’t think a doctor’s visit is going to be too taxing.

Steffy: Fine. Be safe. And call me every 10 minutes.

Li: I’m glad you’re getting checked out. If they have any questions for me about your care–

Finn: I’ll text you. I love you both.

Steffy: Love you.

Li: I’m guessing you have questions.

Steffy: I do. But firstly, I… I would like to thank you. I will always be grateful to you. Thank you for keeping my husband alive.

please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. Please stand by. When asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Hope: Mom? Oh, hey, did ridge come home yet?

Brooke: Hi, you two. Yes, he did, actually. You missed him. He went to the office already.

Liam: Oh. How is he? How is steffy?

Brooke: I think everybody’s still in shock, but in a good way.

Hope: I mean, I get that. I’m still processing all of it.

Brooke: Me, too. Finn is alive. I can’t stop smiling.

Liam: I know. I know the feeling.

Hope: Uh, so a little bit of a segue, but did ridge ever mention anything about that photo?

Brooke: He did.

Hope: And…

Brooke: Oh, it’s fine, honey.

Hope: Really?

Brooke: No, I mean. Well, he wasn’t pleased, but his focus isn’t on that. It’s on steffy, steffy and finn and them reuniting with their family.

Taylor: I have so many questions for li and what she did.

Thomas: I have a question. Why didn’t li tell anyone?

Zende: That’s kind of messed up, letting steffy grieve.

Ridge: It’s messed up. It’s a lot messed up. But we’re going to find some answers in time. Right now, the most important thing. Finn is back. Steffy has a husband, hayes has his father. All because of li.

Li: I wasn’t sure how you’d react.

Steffy: My husband is alive, li. Of course, I’m grateful. When I thought my son was going to grow up without a father, it sent me into a deep, deep depression. And I never– I never want to go back there again. So yes, I am thankful. Very thankful. That being said, um… what the hell, li? You let all of this time go by. All of the suffering. I thought my husband died. My family was torn apart. You could have erased the pain. You could’ve taken that all the way. But you didn’T. I am his wife. I deserved to know what you were doing. Why didn’t you tell me? As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Hope: Well, I am happy to hear that ridge won’t hold that photo I took against you.

Brooke: He prefers to remain focused on the good things that are happening.

Liam: Well, he’s not wrong there. I mean, I think we should all be focused on that. That the joy, you know, the sheer joy we feel about finn surviving and that little family staying intact is huge.

Brooke: Exactly. And I’m not being naive. I know how he feels about that photo, and I need to remain cautious.

Hope: But do you, though? He’s moved back in.

Brooke: Honey, he moved in to take care of me. He’s not fully committed quite yet. Oh, but it will happen. You know, after all we’ve been through over the years, there’s no way it’s going to end now.

Taylor: You know, I keep thinking about something that steffy said before she left for monaco. She didn’t want people to look at her with pity.

Ridge no, she just wanted to come in here and feel normal. I get that.

Taylor: Yes. And now when she comes to work again and she walks through those doors, she’s going to be faced with– with happiness and smiles.

Ridge: And hugs and happy tears. Even my dad had them when I called him earlier.

Taylor: Yeah, we have all had our share of happy tears for sure, since finn’s come back into our lives and most importantly, back into steffy’S.

Ridge: That smile on her face, what happened in monaco, I’m never going to forget that.

Taylor: Yeah. Monaco. What we experienced there makes me think that anything’s possible.

Steffy: How? How could you not tell us finn was alie? How could you be that cruel?

Li: It was never my intention to hurt you.

Steffy: It’s not just me. Did you think about your grandson? Kelly and hayes were so confused. They were so upset.

Li: I would never do anything to harm the children.

Steffy: That’s exactly what you did, li. You kept finn away from them. How could you do that? Why would you do this?

Li: You’re a mother. I’m sure you think a lot about kelly and hayes. The futures they might have.

Steffy: Yes.

Li: So you can imagine how proud I am of finn. Everything he’s accomplished. All I hope for is success. His career. A future so bright. Then he met you. Do you think I wanted my son swept up in a family always in the tabloids? I try not to worry. Hope for the best.

Steffy: Were you lying in my wedding? Pretending to be supportive?

Li: No. No, not at all. Finn adores you. You fulfill him. If he’s happy, then I’m happy. But I was right to be concerned, wasn’t I? If finn had never met you, sheila would have never come back into his life. She wouldn’t have shot him. I almost lost my son, steffy. And, yes, maybe in my anger and my despair, a part of me wanted to blame you, your entire family. So, I kept what I was doing to myself for good reason. Finn needed my undivided attention. His recovery depended on it. Getting you involved would have been a distraction I couldn’t afford. Please try to understand the position I was in, how determined I was. Other doctors gave up on me, but I couldn’T.

Steffy: I would have helped you. I would have been just as determined.

Li: No. You would have demanded I take him back to the hospital. Back to the people who wrote him off as dead. I would have said something to you, if finn survived. But in that moment, his odds were so grave, I mean, so slim. There was no reason for me to get your hopes up. And I couldn’t think or worry about anybody else at the time. I was laser focused on him. That’s what I was doing. I would have said something to you when he was stable, if he came to. But if you’re looking for an apology, you won’t get it. I won’t apologize to you or anyone else for doing what I had to do to save my son.

Steffy: How are they?

Finn: The kids are out cold and ridge is pinned down underneath them. Also asleep.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Steffy: Cute.

Taylor: I was in there with them earlier. So much cuteness! I almost fell asleep, but my mind was racing. And I kept thinking about everything that’s happened the past couple of days. I can’t believe you’re here, finn. And doing surprisingly well, considering…

Finn: I’m going to get checked out when I get back home. But so far, so good.

Steffy: I’ll vouch for that.

Taylor: Oh, this makes me so happy. This is– this is a milestone for our family in so many ways.

Finn: Cheers to that.

Steffy: Cheers.

Brooke: What time is it, honey?

Hope: 10 minutes from the last time you asked me what time it is. Mom, the flight is going to be landing soon from monaco. And I know you’re eager to see ridge, but…

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: All I know is he must be overjoyed for steffy. Finn is alive.

Hope: Well, no thanks to sheila.

>Brooke: Kind of creeps me out that she’s out there somewhere. But you know what? I’m not going to think about that. I’m not going to let sheila consume me. I’m gonna focus on finn and steffy and the fact that they’re back together. And ridge is home too.

Hope: Speaking of, uh, did ridge ever say anything about that selfie I posted with you and dad? Because it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Quinn: This is the life.

Carter: Mm-hmm. Doesn’t get any better.

Quinn: Mmm. We need to make a pact.

Carter: I’m in.

Quinn: You don’t even know what I’m about to say.

Carter: Doesn’t matter. You want, it, you got it?

Quinn: Ooh! Yes, I am gonna hold you to that.

Carter: So what did I just agree to?

[ Quinn laughs ]

[ Carter laughs ]

Quinn: I think this should not be a one time thing. We need to make this– a tradition. At least once a month we need to play hooky from work and spend the entire day in bed.

Carter: I don’t know, quinn. You drive a hard bargain but I think I can make this sacrifice.

Quinn: Yeah?

Carter: Now, we took off today in honor of the amazing news about steffy and finn. What’s our excuse for once a month?

Quinn: Us. We need to celebrate us.

Carter: Have I ever told you how amazing you look in my bed?

Quinn: You look pretty amazing yourself.

Carter: I tried giving up on us. Told myself there was no chance this could ever happen but here you are.

Quinn: I’m so proud and excited that I get to love you out loud.

Hope: So have you and ridge spoken much?

Brooke: Only briefly. He was preoccupied and understandably so.

Hope: Hmm. Could you get a sense of his attitude about it all?

Brooke: He was rushed and I know he was trying to catch a plane. I hope that’s the only reason why.

Hope: I’m sorry, mom. I just–

Deacon: Sorry about what?

Brooke: Seriously? No, really, seriously. You just– you just walked into my home, ridge’s home after I told you you’re not allowed.

Deacon: I may have heard through the grapevine that ridge was on a plane, and I just took this chance to, you know, come see my two favorite ladies.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

[ Airplane din ]

Steffy: Hey, over there. Did I miss something? It seems like there’s something on your mind. At metro by t-mobile… you can save more…

Carter: I haven’t wanted anyone the way I wanted you.

Quinn: That’s past tense. Why am I all of a sudden pass tense?

Carter: Let me finish…

Quinn: Fine, please continue.

>Carter: It’s just you were… you were married to eric, you were fully committed. And I told myself to be grateful of the time we had together. And wish you well. Time to move on with my life knowing that being together, it was impossible.

Quinn: Well, never say never.

Carter: I still can’t believe you’re here.

Quinn: Well, believe it. Because I’m not going anywhere. Mmm.

[ Carter sighs ]

Carter: You know, it’s a toss up. I don’t know who’s happier: Me or ridge.

Quinn: What? How– how– how did ridge end up in bed with us?

Carter: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We were talking last night and I haven’t– I haven’t heard him sound that upbeat in a long time.

Quinn: Really? Ridge?

Carter: Mm-hmm. Steffy’s the center of his universe. And he was worried when we thought finn was dead. But the fact that he’s not, the fact that steffy and finn are back together, ridge is over the moon.

Quinn: If only he could stay there. Seriously, talking about ridge, it’s kind of a buzzkill. Don’t you think? I have a much better way of passing the time.

Deacon: I feel like when I’m around you two that I’m grounded in something really good, you know? And of course, I’m attracted to that. I would never come here-if I honestly thought that he was going to be around.

[ Brooke sighs]

Brooke: It just feels like I’m sneaking around, like I’m doing something behind ridge’s back. Is it– am I overreacting?

Hope: Well, you’re probably also a little paranoid because of, you know, the photo I posted.

Brooke: Yeah.

Deacon: That’s so weird because I was going to just ask about that. I saw it and then it disappeared. So I was going to ask you what happened there? Lemme take a stab in the dark here: Um, you’re afraid of hurting his royal ridgeness’ tender sensibilities so you asked hope to pull it down. Is that– is that right? Close?

Brooke: Okay. Listen. Of course, I was worried about his feelings and how he would react. I’m not trying to be insensitive, deacon. Really, I’m not. I want to show ridge that I am dedicated to him. And when he comes home, you can’t be here.

Deacon: All right, message received.

Taylor: The pilot says we’ll be landing soon. I can’t wait to walk into our house as a family. It’s been way too long.

>Steffy: Get ready to be spoiled ’cause we’re going to celebrate you every day.

>Finn: I could live with that.

>Taylor: This is just amazing. You know, when ridge and I boarded the plane to monaco, we– we had no idea we were about to experience a miracle. We were prepared for the worst. And what we got was the best thing we could have ever hoped for.

Finn: Me, too. Okay, I’m going to go wake up the kids and the big one, too.

Steffy: You still never answered my question.

>Taylor: What was the question?

Steffy: You seem distracted by something other than finn and me.

Taylor: No, I’m not. I mean, I’ll sit, but I’m not– I’m just– I’m just thinking about–

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: I’m thinking about the most important thing. The– the most important thing right now, which is that finn is here and that your family is whole again. It’s the best feeling in the world. Hi, I’m denise.

Quinn: Mm. This makes me so happy: Being in your arms, being able to kiss you and touch you whenever I want to.

Carter: We had to hide our feelings for a long time.

Quinn: Yeah. Not just from everyone but from each other.

Carter: When I think of how close you came to ruining your life– I mean, I don’t know what you were thinking. Marrying paris? But I know. I know. We don’t have to dwell. I’m just– I’m just glad that I was able to get to that crazy wedding in time to save you from yourself.

Carter: Wow.

Quinn: Wow.

Carter: Thank you for saving me–

Quinn: You’re welcome. You– you’re so, oh– oh. You’re so welcome.

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah, sure. Why? I don’t look okay?

Hope: Uh, frankly, no. You seem a little sad.

Deacon: Shows, huh?

Hope: Yeah. Dad, look, I know you care about mom and I get it. It stings when you’re rejected.

Deacon: I get that it’s not my place to approve or disapprove of what her choices are. At the end of the day, I just want her to be happy. I care about her. But if I’m being really honest, I don’t know that she’s ever going to find true happiness with ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Oh, hey! Ridge, you’re home. Oh. Taylor.

Taylor: Hello– look, I know we probably should have texted you. We didn’t even think about–

Ridge: We wanted finn, steffy and the kids to kind of have a homecoming.

Taylor: Yeah, you know. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Brooke: Okay, I understand. Um. So, well? How was it? How was monaco?

Both: Incredible–

Ridge: It was incredible. Hi.

Brooke: Yeah, hi. I– could only imagine how excited steffy must have been to see finn alive after all this time.

Taylor: Yeah, it was. It was amazing. We were in awe. Uh, it was the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen.

Brooke: Well, that’s wonderful. Steffy’s back with her family. And as a parent, I can only imagine how you two are feeling right now.

Kelly: Yay, we’re home!

Steffy: Wow, we certainly are. You okay?

Finn: Yeah, just, uh… alittle overwhelmed. So many times, I imagined getting back to this place, being with you guys. Just, uh… seemed distant and faraway sometimes.

Steffy: Well, you’re here. Where you belong.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, it looks exactly the same. Except this. This is new, huh? Who’s the brilliant artist?

Kelly: Me! I drew it to make you come home.

[ Laughing ]

Finn: You’re manifesting already. That’s impressive.

Kelly: Mana-wha?

[ Finn laughing ]

Finn: It’s okay. I’ll– I’ll explain it to you later. You just keep doing it.

Kelly: I missed you, finn.

Finn: Oh. Missed you too. Oh, this feels good.

Steffy: Welcome home. We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Hope: Let’s be real. Ridge will never be good enough for mom in your eyes.

Deacon: I can’t argue with that because I’m right. He isn’T.

Hope: Hmm. Well, I wonder who would be.

Deacon: Okay, I get it. You know, maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m projecting but from where I stand, if there aren’t any residual feelings for taylor then why hasn’t he fully recommitted to your mom?

Taylor: Yeah. The whole thing was, uh– it was– it was incredibly romantic.

Brooke: I’ll bet. And with monaco as the backdrop. I just kept thinking how relieved and how happy you were for steffy.

Ridge: We– we were so worried about it. We just didn’t know what we were going to find in monaco.

Taylor: Yeah. And then– and then finn showed up and it’s amazing.

Brooke: And how is he? I mean, besides being thrilled to be back with his family.

Ridge: Yeah– physically, he’s– he’s not quite there yet, right? I mean, he’s not.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, I mean– I mean, he’s getting there, right? But emotionally.

Ridge: It was great to see steffy smile again.

Brooke: I’m sure it was. I’m just glad that you’re all back home. Especially you, ridge. I missed you so much.

Ridge: Did you?

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Kelly laughing ]

Finn: It’s the most beautiful sound in the world.

Steffy: Yeah, I didn’t really hear it. When you were gone, this house was so sad. And I tried to make it normal for the kids. But every night kelly would ask, “when is finn coming home?” And, after a while, I just couldn’t explain it anymore. But I’m glad I didn’t have to because you’re here now. Our miracle is– is here.

Finn: That’s all I thought about. I’d just… close my eyes and picture myself here with you, hayes and kelly. But do you have… do you have any idea how much I love you?

Steffy: I love you so much.

Kelly: Mom! Mom?

[ Finn laughs ]

Steffy: Ah, I better get in there.

Finn: Hey. Let me.

Finn: What’s all the commotion in here? Ah! Help me. I’m being attacked. Hayes wants his mama.

Steffy: Baby, honey, come here.

[ Finn laughing ]

Steffy: Oh, baby.

Finn: Ah,! No, they’re pulling me back! Pulling me back! Come over here! I got– I got her now! I got her now! I got her now. Oh, big man. Big man.

[ Romantic music ]

Steffy: I love you.

Steffy and finn: I love you.

Finn: So much, steffy. Forever.

Steffy: [ Whispers ] Forever.

Finn: [ Whispers ] Forever.

Hope: Oh, what a day.

Brooke: A wonderful day.

Hope: It’s still so unreal. Finn is alive. Steffy has her husband back.

Brooke: Finn literally beat death to get back to steffy and the kids. It’s incredible.

Hope: Happy doesn’t seem like a big enough word for what I’m feeling, but, I am. I’m so happy for them.

Brooke: Me too. And for ridge, too. I mean, I know that he was trying to be strong for steffy, but he was struggling. And now my husband can have some well-deserved peace.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. It still feels like a dream.

> Finn: And this was my dream. Every day, every second lying there in that bed, I dreamt of this moment.

Steffy: How? I still don’t understand how it happened. Like what did– what did li do?

Finn: Don’t worry. I’ll fill you in. It’s a long story that even I’m still trying to piece together. But right now, all I want to do is hold you and never let you go.

Steffy: Oh.

> Brooke: It’s truly a miracle.

Hope: It is. Honestly, it reminds me of when liam and I found out that beth was alive. It was so amazing to me, how quickly all of that pain just went away when she was put into my arms. And I hope that it’s the same for steffy. That when she sees finn, all of that torment just fades away.

Brooke: And not just for steffy and for finn. But for ridge and taylor as well. As a parent, I can only imagine the kind of joy and euphoria that they must be feeling this very moment.

Ridge: Well, that was unexpected.

Taylor: Was it? Ughh!

Brooke: Oh, sorry. It’s been crazy. I haven’t even been able to check my inbox.

Hope: Oh, it’s fine. I’m just thinking about kelly when she gets to see finn for the first time. I bet she’s just going to run to him. Her eyes are going to light up.

Brooke: And hayes, too.

Hope: Yes. Everything is back on track the way they should be. You know, steffy and finn are going to have a long, happy life together. I wonder when they’re going to come back to L.A., If they’ll– mom. What is it?

Brooke: What did you do?

Hope: What?

> Brooke: What were you thinking?

Hope: I don’t–

Brooke: Honey. You know how ridge feels about deacon. It’s still a long road to get back to where we were. I don’t want to do anything to where ridge doesn’t trust me anymore.

Ridge: You know, can I say something? Your daughter has some nerve. We fly all the way here, and she has no time for us. Just spends it with her husband.

Taylor: I know, how rude.

Ridge: Super rude.

Taylor: So rude.

Ridge: Well, I guess they deserve it after everything, right?

Taylor: Yeah. Sheila tried, but she failed. She had no idea what she was up against.

Ridge: Okay. Don’t dance. So– so your professional opinion as a doctor is that love conquers all. That’s it.

Taylor: True love. Absolutely.

Ridge: Okay. If that’s what we are then– you’re right, I guess.

Taylor: Did you just say you’re– you’re right? Is that what you said?

Ridge: I guess. Yes, you’re– you’re right. It’s– it’s fate.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Like you said, sheila tried but she can’t destroy what was meant to be.

Taylor: No. No. She will never break this family. Ever.

Ridge: Mm. I like this, uh… mama bear thing you got going. It’s nice. Um, I– I got to say, this was one of the most amazing days of my life.

Taylor: Me too. We came here thinking that we’re going to have to support steffy through the most terrible time and–

Ridge: Get to witness a miracle.

Steffy: This doesn’t feel real. I can’t believe you’re here. Like it feels like… like some kind of dream and I’m going to wake up and you’re going to be gone.

Finn: This is real, steffy.

Steffy: Finn, I– I saw you. Saw you in the alley and–

Finn: It’s okay. Honey, I’m here. Look. I’m here.

Steffy: I just have so many questions.

Finn: I know. I know. And I will answer them all. But what matters most, what really matters is that I’m here with you now. It’s kind of romantic, if you think about it.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Not even death could keep me from you.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Steffy: That’s your mom.

Finn: Mom?

Li: Taylor sent me the picture of all of you together. It brought me to tears to see you reunited with your family again.

Finn: Yeah. Me too. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back with steffy and the kids.

Li: To see you all together so happy, I hope beyond everything that this day would come.

Finn: Well, it has. Thanks to you. I mean, my entire life you have never given up on me, ever.

Li: How could I? You’re my son.

Steffy: Li, I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Thank you for never giving up on finn. For bringing him back to us. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Steffy: You’re the best, amelia. Yes, take hayes for another stroll around the block. Thanks.

[ Kelly laughing ]

Finn: I’ve missed this so much. Ahh!

Kelly: I want to make sure you’re still here. Promise you won’t leave again?

Finn: Yes, I promise.

Steffy: Did you have fun with amelia?

Kelly: We had ice cream, mommy.

Steffy: You did?

Finn: Wait, where’s mine?

Kelly: Hayes ate it.

Finn: What? He did?

Kelly: No, but we can get more. I want to go to that place near our house. I want to go home.

Steffy: Yeah, I want that too. Back to our wonderful life together.

Finn: Home, yeah. Walking through that front door and seeing the three of you, that’s what kept me going. I knew I needed to get strong enough so I could come home to all of you.

Hope: I genuinely don’t understand what the problem is.

Brooke: You posted a picture of deacon and me.

Hope: Yes. What, I’m not allowed to take a selfie with my parents?

Brooke: Hope.

Hope: What? Mom, mom, you– you weren’t doing anything wrong. You weren’t alone with him. You weren’t in the house.

Brooke: Okay, it’s– it’s not that simple.

Hope: Really? Look, mom, dad has been everything that he said he would be since he came back into my life. He has stepped up. He’s been there for me and– I understand that we need to make some concessions for ridge. But every now and then I would like things to just feel a little normal. And taking a picture with my parents is normal.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. Okay. I know that you want your father in your life. I get that, sweetheart. And you’re right. He has been true to his word. But ridge and I are still in a very delicate place, and I want to make sure that he can trust me.

Hope: Look, I wasn’t looking to cause problems.

Brooke: Oh, I know, sweetheart.

Hope: It’s just– you know, steffy and finn are back together. We were having a nice family moment. We were so happy for them. And I– it just felt– it felt nice and I wanted to capture the moment and I shared it. Do you really think that ridge will be upset?

Brooke: Well, let’s see. He hates deacon and he hates it when I’m around him. So, yes, it’s very possible that he’ll be upset. I just can’t lose whatever little faith ridge has in me. I can’T.

Ridge: Steffy?

Taylor: Yeah, she just texted. She and finn are back in the room with the kids.

Ridge: I just want to go out there and see these guys, but I– maybe we should– we should just let them have a little more time, right? I can’t even imagine what they’re feeling right now.

Taylor: Happiness. Pure happiness. How about you? What are you feeling?

Ridge: What am I feeling? What– what are you. What– what are you do– what’s going on? Are you trying to shrink me right now? Is that– oh, wow. Okay. Um, what’s the– I am– I am processing.

Taylor: Oh, that’s a good word.

Ridge: It is good. I’m– we came here to help our daughter. And next thing we know, it’s happily ever after. And it’s just– it’s been–

[ Clears throat ] It’s been a whirlwind, doctor.

Taylor: Yes, it has. You know, earlier we got– we got a little caught up in the moment. Don’t you think? I mean, we’re just– we’re two parents who are overjoyed for our daughter. But… maybe we– we got a little too close, you know? For two friends, two old friends.

Ridge: Well, you are putting me on the spot right now.

Taylor: Am I?

Ridge: Look. I’m– I– f–

Taylor: Why did you kiss me? Thoughts?

Zyrteeeec…

Brooke: Honey, I support you having a relationship with your father. I do. It makes me very happy. But ridge has every reason to be wary of deacon and me. I don’t want him getting the wrong idea.

Hope: Well, I don’t either. I’m sorry, mom. Really. It’s just– I was happy to be together as a family. But I don’t want to undermine your marriage.

Brooke: I know, honey. So, I’d appreciate it if you take the post down.

Hope: Fine. I’ll do it right now.

Brooke: Thank you. I’m going to call ridge and see if he’s okay.

Ridge: So, you asking me why I kissed you?

Taylor: Yeah, I am.

Ridge: How could I not?

[ Phone buzzing ]

Brooke: He’s not answering.

Hope: He’s probably with steffy, finn and the kids.

Brooke: Maybe he saw the post. Maybe he’s be upset with me.

Hope: Mom. You have nothing to worry about. Ridge has moved back in, he’s taking care of you. Nothing and no one is going to come between you and ridge.

Ridge: We’ve been through some very difficult times together. And our… daughter was lost and then found happiness and… we were part of that. So, it just, um… just felt, you know?

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Okay?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: How are the kids?

Finn: You know, I think that– I think the sugar crash has hit. I put on a movie and gave them some snacks. I think kel and hayes will be good for a while.

Steffy: Nice to see them this happy. I haven’t seen them like this in– it’s been a while.

Finn: I know. I’ll never truly be able to explain to them what happened. At least not for another 15 years.

Steffy: Oh. Yeah, I barely understand it.

Finn: Me too. You know, I… remember the first thought I had when I came to. I couldn’t talk, but… I was screaming inside for you. The only words, “where’s my wife?” “Where’s my children?” And I was just in so much pain and so confused, but… I knew that I needed to get back to you. That’s what drove me. It drove me. That’s what kept me fighting.

Steffy: You saved my life, finn. You jumped in front of a bullet for me.

Finn: Of course I did. Steffy, you’re my wife.

Steffy: Finn, part of me died in that alley. And I tried– I try to stay– to stay strong for the kids. I didn’t want them sinking in despair like me. And I– but I was barely holding on. You were always on my mind. You were always in my heart. That’s why I couldn’t– I couldn’t stay in L.A. I had to go because it was– it was torture. You have no idea, it was torture. It was– I had to get out. It broke my heart being at our house.

Finn: It’s over, okay? It’s over now.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Right. We can go back to making new memories. That night in that alley, that’s not the end of our story. Our love is too strong for that. We have the rest of our lives together. I love you, steffy.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: Let’s go home.

Steffy: Oh yeah.

Steffy: Let’s go home.

Finn: I’ve been dreaming of this moment. My wife, kids. I can see you and I could touch you.

Kelly: I missed you, finn.

Finn: I have missed you so much right back. And can we talk about this guy? He’s not a baby any more, is he? He’s this handsome, little guy.

Steffy: He takes after his daddy.

Finn: It’s just– this feels really good.

Steffy: I love you too.

Kelly: You’re squishing me!

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Well, you better get used to it, because we’re gonna be having a lot of these.

Hope: Hey, mom. How’s aunt katie?

Brooke: Oh, she’s as blown away by all of this as we are. Deacon. What are you doing here?

Deacon: Uh, hope asked me to come by.

Hope: Yeah. Since I was still here, I wanted to show dad the photos from the new hope for the future shoot. I just didn’t realize that you were still here.

Deacon: I’m not trying to cause any problems. Brooke, I promise. I’ve got a pretty good idea how ridge feels about me.

Hope: Yeah, and I assured him that ridge would not be here. That he was busy off doing other things.

Deacon: Yeah, hope told me that ridge and taylor went to monaco to go see steffy. Never expecting to see finn. They’ve got to be so happy for her.

Kelly: Mommy, why are you crying?

Steffy: Oh, they’re happy tears. Tears don’t just mean you’re sad.

Kelly: I’m happy, too.

Steffy: I know.

Taylor: We all are. Your family’s back together. My heart is bursting.

Ridge: This is the best moment ever.

Taylor: You know what? I want to– I want to capture this.

Ridge: Oh.

Taylor: Come on. Picture monster. Picture monsters!

Ridge: Maybe now we should give them some family time.

Taylor: Absolutely. Yes. Um, I don’t know what to say, finn, except, um, welcome home.

Finn: Believe me, those are the only words that I’ve wanted to hear.

Ridge: Smile back on steffy’s face. I never thought I’d see that again. I never thought we’d see you again. Here you are, the two of you together. And this… I’m– I’m gonna remember this moment forever.

Taylor: We love you so much.

Steffy: And we love you. Hi, I’m nancy.

Ridge: I’m not sure what that is. You look like a teenager.

Taylor: I feel like a teenager. Ridge, I don’t know when I’ve been so deliriously happy.

Ridge: Same here. Just seeing the joy in steffy’s eyes was amazing.

Taylor: I know. Did you see that and the way the kid’s faces lit up when they saw finn again? Finnegan. Did you see what I did there? Finnegan.

Ridge: Wow. Yeah, no, I saw it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah, super funny.

Taylor: Look. Look. Our daughter’s smiling again.

Ridge: I never thought I’d see that after everything.

Taylor: You know what, I’m gonna post this.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: I’m going to post this so that people can see. They can see that finn is alive and steffy and finn are together again. And our girl is okay.

Finn: What do you think, we go down to the beach later?

Kelly: Yes. I want to do that.

Steffy: He just fell asleep right away. He really needed his nap.

Finn: Yeah. Well, this is… the best being together again as a family. I just missed you guys so much. And hey, I’m sorry for being away all that time.

Kelly: It’s okay.

Finn: Yeah. I didn’t wanna leave you.

Steffy: No, you have nothing to be sorry about. We’re just glad to have you back.

Kelly: You were gone so long.

Finn: I know. I know, but don’t worry, okay? You guys are not gonna get rid of me again.

Kelly: Yay!

Steffy: Yay is right. We’re holding you to it.

Finn: This… this right here is where I wanna be for the rest of my life. Surrounded by this family and feeling all your love. Nothing means more.

Steffy: We love you.

Kelly: This big.

Deacon: Honey, these are fantastic.

Hope: Really?

Deacon: Yeah.

Hope: Thanks. I was hoping you would like them. I’m pretty proud of the risk we took, I think it paid off. You know, trying to keep it fresh, but still sticking with the messaging.

Deacon: I mean, I’m no expert, but I think you knocked it out of the park. You ever thought about modeling as a full-time career?

Hope: Dad!

Deacon: What?

Brooke: Oh!

Hope: What?

Brooke: Oh, taylor just posted a picture. Come see.

Hope: Oh, look at them! Steffy and finn together after all this time.

Brooke: Oh, they’re so happy. You can feel it through the screen.

Deacon: Yeah. They really look great, don’t they?

Brooke: Destiny 2.0, maybe?

Hope: I don’t know. I think that title may be reserved for liam and me.

Brooke: Oh, honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you.

Hope: No, mom. Not at all. Are you kidding? Look how happy they are. This is such an amazing day. You know what? I– I want to capture this moment forever. Let’s take a photo. Oh, seriously, come on, all three of us.

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: Right, ready? Perfect.

Brooke: Aw. I just can’t believe this, I mean, I guess it’s meant to be, you know, we all thought that finn was dead, but he’s not. He is very much alive. And I couldn’t be happier for him and for ridge too.

[ Cell phone chiming ]

Ridge: Oh, you’re blowing up.

Taylor: I am. I am. It’s all the likes and comments about steffy and finn.

Ridge: I can’t believe he’s here.

Taylor: Neither can the rest of the world.

Ridge: I’m– I’m so happy for him and wish– you know what? The world should celebrate them.

Taylor: Yes. Steffy and finn, for what they went through. What– what they were put through.

Taylor: Oh, sheila. You know what, I’m not gonna go down that rabbit hole right now. We are gonna focus on all the goodness that is going on with steffy right now.

Ridge: We went through something too, right? The two of us together.

Taylor: Yeah. We’re always there to hold each other up when things get tough.

Ridge: Mmm.

Taylor: Oh.

Ridge: Oh? What?

Taylor: Oh, there’s nothing. Nothing to see here. Just nothing.

Ridge: Says the woman that I’ve known most of my life. Yeah, I– yes. I know there’s something going on. What is it?

Taylor: It’s just like, literally a random picture of, like, A… well, I don’t know. It’S…

Ridge: Okay, let me see it.

Taylor: The picture?

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Taylor: This?

Ridge: Ah… well, that’s cozy. You know what I– I asked her to stay away from that guy. She agreed. I go on a trip and… how about them apples?

Taylor: Come on. Come on. Let’s get some air.

Steffy: This doesn’t feel real. I thought you were gone. And I thought you were never coming back.

Finn: Coming back was all that I could think about. And once I was strong enough, nothing was gonna stop me.

Steffy: I can’t stop staring at you. It feels like a dream.

Finn: Well, it’s not. It’s real. And I’m never gonna lose you, especially now, because I have never been to monaco and this place is stunning.

Steffy: Yeah, I always thought this place was magical. And now I know, it brought me you.

Finn: It will always be our special place.

Steffy: I carried this with me. Always. It made me feel close to you. I never thought I’d be putting this on your finger again. It’s official. My husband is back.

Taylor: You okay? I’m sorry, you know I should’ve, I should’ve, uh… kept scrolling when I saw that–

Ridge: It’s okay. I would’ve seen it eventually.

Taylor: No, I know. It’s just…

Ridge: I want to say I’m surprised, but I’M… maybe I’m not surprised. You know, what is that? I– I fly halfway across the world to help my grieving daughter and… and five minutes and my wife is cozying up to deacon. But I– you know what? I don’t wanna talk about that. Look at where we are. This is an amazing place.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: We’re surrounded by beauty. Steffy isn’t grieving anymore. Let’s focus on that. May I say something?

Taylor: I think you’re going to anyway but sure.

Ridge: You’ve been our strength through this whole ordeal, you’ve been a rock, and the only true thing in all of this. And you were there for steffy and– and I have… I’ve never been so proud to have had kids with you.

Taylor: Well ridge, that’s so sweet.

Ridge: Well, that’s the truth.

Taylor: This whole thing’s been a whirlwind, huh? Steffy is… watching her walk back in that hotel room with finn, holding his hand.

Ridge: It gets you right here.

Taylor: Yeah. It just seems like anything’s possible.

Steffy: I know I’m staring again.

Finn: I promise you my view’s better.

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re here. And I can’t believe you’re alive.

Finn: I fought so hard for this moment. Nothing and no one was gonna keep me from you and my family. While I was recovering, I just… I held the thought of you. I would close my eyes and I– I could see you. And I could– I could hear your voice calling my name. And I made a promise to myself and to you that I would keep fighting until that vision was realized. Yep. Imagine… how painful it must’ve been thinking I was dead this whole time.

Steffy: It was devastating. We had this wonderful life. This perfect little family and then it was… it was gone, like it– like it never existed.

Finn: I’m sorry. Honey, I’m so sorry.

Steffy: But I learned something. When we laid eyes on each other, we were connected. And I loved and appreciated you ever since. But now I know firsthand what it feels like to have something taken from you instantly. So, I vow to you. I will never take you, our love, and our family for granted. Because honestly, I am… I didn’t really believe in– in miracles until today. Seeing you there, at the church. To know that you were coming back to me and our family. I love you. I love you.

Finn: I love you. I love you so much, steffy. Forever.

Steffy: Forever.

Finn: Forever.

[Bells ringing]

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I’ve missed you so much.

Steffy: You’re alive. You’re alive! You’re alive. Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Ridge: Come on in. I thought for sure you were going to find her.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, a mother’s intuition doesn’t work like G.P.S.

Ridge: Well, neither is running around all over monaco, right? I just– I want my daughter to stop grieving.

Taylor: Finn will find her. And when he does-

Ridge: This nightmare will be over.

[Taylor sighs happily]

[Banging on door]

Chief deputy baker: Sharpe. This is deputy chief baker, I need to talk to you about sheila carter.

Deacon: You brought the cops here?

[Banging on door]

Baker: Sharpe! Open up.

Sheila: Please! Please, please don’t hurt me. Please.

Deacon: You said you weren’t going to drag me into this.

Sheila: They don’t know I’m here. Just make them leave.

[Banging on door]

Baker: Sharpe.

Deacon: [Whispers] Go. Go!

Deacon: [Sighs] Hi. Hey chief, I’m sorry. Just getting ready for work.

Baker: I just need a couple of minutes. Can I come in?

Deacon: Man, I’m really late. What do you want?

Baker: Have you heard from sheila carter?

Deacon: No. No, nothing. I’m sorry. I wish I could help you.

Baker: If you see or hear anything from her, you get in touch with me immediately. The woman is dangerous, especially when she has nothing to lose.

Deacon: You don’t have to tell me.

[Distant police sirens]

Sheila: Thank you.

Zende: This is insane. Finn is actually alive and on his way to see steffy?

Hope: Mm-hmm! And bill flew him to monaco.

Brooke: I keep waiting to hear from ridge. I just want to know if steffy and finn have seen each other yet.

Taylor: Nothing from finn?

Ridge: Nope. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t find her.

Taylor: You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. No news is good news. Could be great news, really.

Taylor: It’s so surreal. Finn is alive.

Ridge: Just imagine what steffy is gonna do when she sees him.

[Church bells ring]

Steffy: How? Finn, how? I– I was there. I saw it.

Finn: I know, I know. And I’m going to explain everything. But right now, I just want to look int those eyes. And give you… this kiss.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

[Crying] How is this happening? At metro by t-mobile… you can save more…

Hope: Thank you.

Zende: Yeah, of course. So, do you know if finn is all right? Has he recovered from his injuries?

Brooke: I have to believe that being with steffy and the kids will be the best medicine for him.

Zende: Definitely gonna have that effect on my cousin.

Hope: Can you just imagine how amazing that moment is going to be? Like all the pain, all of the loss that steffy and the kids have been feeling just… instantly gone, the moment they see finn.

Brooke: I think we all feel that way. And to know that sheila can’t harm our families anymore. I just hope that the authorities can put sheila away for good, this time.

Sheila: I can’t thank you enough.

Deacon: Don’t thank me. I don’t even know what I just did.

Sheila: You just saved me from going back to prison.

Deacon: Which is where you belong.

Sheila: I am not a murderer, deacon. I didn’t kill anybody.

Deacon: Well, you gave it a pretty damn good shot.

Sheila: I’m sorry. I put you on the spot.

Deacon: Sheila I’m on probation. If those cops were to come in here, they would have busted me for harboring a criminal. I’m not going back inside for you. I’m not going back inside for anybody. This place, it’s a dump. But you know what? It’s mine now. I’m trying to build myself a better life, and I’m not going to let you screw it up.

Sheila: Okay. Where would you life be right now if I hadn’t taken you in when you needed someplace to go?

Deacon: I wasn’t running from the law.

Sheila: I was a friend to you… when you didn’t have anyone.

Deacon: Sheila, you used me. You’re trying to use me again now.

Sheila: No. No. No. No, I’m not. What is– is that what you want me to do? Do you want me to beg for your help?

Deacon: Please don’T.

Sheila: I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to see my son. Have a chance to know him.

Deacon: You almost killed him.

Sheila: No, I didn’T. I saved his life. My son needed me, and I was there for him. I nursed finn back to health, so that he could be reunited with his family, which is probably what he’s doing right now.

Ridge: We should just keep looking for steffy, right?

Taylor: I don’t know. Kind of feel like maybe we should stay here?

>>Ridge: Stay here, why?

Taylor: If he comes back– woah–

>>Finn: Hey.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

Finn: Look who I found.

Taylor: Hi.

Steffy: How-how is this happening?

Taylor: This is happening. It’s really happening.

Steffy: Where are the kids? Are they– are they here? Where are they?

Taylor: I believe the kids are with amelia. I should text her. Oh, finn, my phone.

Finn: Oh, yes.

Ridge: So good to see you guys together.

Taylor: How does she know this happened?

Ridge: I don’t know. Let’s give them some time. Can we do that? Let’s just–

Taylor: Oh. Yeah we can. But first, let me– let me– let me get a picture.

Ridge: Now? You want to do this, you wanna take–

Taylor: I wanna take a picture. I’m gonna capture–

Ridge: Lot of people wanna see this at home.

Taylor: They will. Yes. Oh, my god.

Finn: Can you ah- can you send it to my mom? And my dad.

Ridge: Enough pictures. Let’s go.

Taylor: Okay. I love you. I love you!

Steffy: This doesn’t– doesn’t feel real.

Finn: I wanted to get back to you sooner. I tried.

>>Steffy: What? I– I– no. I need to understand. I need to understand you– you were in my arms. You were– you were pronounced dead.

Finn: It was my mother. She said that at the hospital, she– she found a trace of life in me and smuggled me out of there. Set up life support and she– she just– she never gave up. Until sheila showed up. She took over and tried to act like she saved me. I despise her for what she’s done to us.

Steffy: It doesn’t matter now. It doesn’t matter. All that matters that you’re here. Now we’re together. I had dreams of this. I swear, I had dreams of this. Of you coming towards me from a crowd or… coming home after work. This doesn’t feel real.

Finn: It’s real. I’m here.

Steffy: Say it again.

Finn: I’m here. And you’re in my arms again. Thank god.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

If you have this…

Deacon: You shouldn’t have come here.

Sheila: I have nowhere to go.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I can’t help you.

Sheila: Deacon-

Deacon: Do you wanna land both of us back in prison?

Sheila: All I need to do is rest. Okay, get my thoughts together and come up with a plan.

Deacon: Here’s a plan: Go. Somewhere else, now.

Sheila: No, I can’T. Baker and his men might still be out there.

Deacon: You know what then? I’m gonna go. You’re right. I told them I was gonna go. He might be waiting out there.

Sheila: Does that mean I can stay?

Deacon: Absolutely, not. No. After I go, you leave the other way.

Sheila: Go where?

Deacon: I don’t know. I don’t want to know, sheila. This is it. Do you get it? I want you gone. I want you out of my place. And I want you out of my life.

Sheila: How could you say all that after everything I’d done for you?

Deacon: No, what you’ve done is you have ruined people’s lives. You have broken the hearts of little innocent kids. No, don’t you twist this. This has nothing to do with me. This one’s on you. You’re going to pay for it.

Sheila: I already am. If you could’ve heard the horrible–

Deacon: Just stop. Just stop, stop, stop. I don’t care. I don’t care. We’re done. Do not come back here again. Do you understand me?

[Door clicks shut]

[Door clicks]

[Thudding]

Ridge: Boy.

Taylor: Look on their faces.

Ridge: I know. It’s finn, I’ve never seen him happier.

Taylor: I know. Who should we call first? I mean, I want to send the picture to jack and li. We got to call thomas.

[Phone ringing]

Ridge: Of course, yeah. Hang on. Okay. It’s brooke. I got to take this. Logan, hey. You will never guess what happened.

Brooke: Liam told us. Finn is alive! This is incredible.

Ridge: Yes, it is incredible. And you know what’s more incredible? He’s seen steffy and the kids.

Brooke: Oh, so finn has seen steffy. Oh, this is a miracle. Ridge, you must be so relieved.

Ridge: Beyond relief. We– we’re still in shock. We’re trying to figure out exactly what happened.

Brooke: Well, how is finn? I know he’s been with sheila this whole time. Is he all right?

Ridge: No, he’s fine. I think the only emotion he’s feeling right now is pure joy. He gets to see his wife and his kids again. But there is something you should be aware of. Baker told us that sheila has escaped again.

Brooke: What? No!

Ridge: She was gone by the time police got there.

Brooke: How?

Ridge: Guthrie. He was with sheila, and they arrested him. You’re right about him.

Brooke: Oh. No. No!

Ridge: So just do me a favor: Stay vigilant. Don’t let your guard down. And I wish we could just… forget about sheila and focus on our kids and focus steffy and finn. But we can’T. Not yet.

Steffy: And you’re really okay?

Finn: Yeah. I mean, I’m not 100%. But being with you…

Steffy: And you said that your mom saved you.

Finn: Yeah. She– she kept me alive and as safe as she could.

Steffy: Until sheila found you.

Finn: I don’t want to talk about her. She– she’s not a part of our lives. And she never should have been. But it was my mother. My real mother that brought me back to life and brought me back to you and our children.

Steffy: That’s why li didn’t want to talk about a funeral. I thought she didn’t want to talk about it. She didn’t want to talk about your death. She said she– she said she planned everything, and it all makes– it makes sense now. Well, why didn’t she tell me? Why did she hide you from me? I’m your wife. I deserved to know that you were alive.

Finn: I can’t explain all of that. But just know that I’m here because she refused to give up on me. I’m–I’m sorry that she didn’t tell you. And… I hated knowing that you were feeling that way. Mourning me and believing that I was dead. Your… your parents told me that you’ve been struggling. Depressed.

Steffy: Yeah. Of course. It was terrible. So, I came to europe with the kids. I thought I could get away. I thought I could– I thought I could find some relief, but I– I couldn’T. I never stopped missing you. Not once. And there you were, you just– you just showed up. Like all darkness that has been crushing me, has finally lifted. And everything I prayed for came true.

Finn: It was those prayers. And the thought of you that willed my heart to take another beat, and my lungs to take another breath. The truth is, steffy… you saved my life. And it was all you.

[Steffy sighs] (Denise) my husband has lung cancer

Hope: Guthrie? Again? I mean, the police were finally going to put sheila away for good.

Brooke: I know. I know this is crazy. But it’s only a matter of time, hope. Really. We just– we have to stay vigilant, okay? We have to be alert, and we’re fine because we have the security. And steffy and finn and the kids, they are safe in europe.

Hope: Okay, but we should let everyone know that sheila is back on the loose again.

Brooke: Yes, and we will. But let’s not let that overshadow the joy of this moment.

Hope: [Sighs] Okay. Fine. Yes. How did ridge sound?

Brooke: He was so happy. I mean, he did say they’re still in shock.

Hope: Oh, I’m sure they are, and probably will be for a while.

Brooke: I can only imagine how taylor and ridge feel. They’re steffy’s parents.

Taylor: Okay. Amelia is on her way up with the kids.

Ridge: Great. I’ll get them to steffy and finn right away.

Taylor: Ridge, it keeps hitting me in waves. Finn is alive. He and steffy are together.

Ridge: I know. I just– I want to protect them. I want to make sure they never get separated again.

Taylor: Bet they feel the same way.

Ridge: And you know what? No more business trips for steffy. That’s it. No more traveling.

Taylor: You know what? I bet neither one of us are gonna be able to get them outta the house or off the beach any time soon.

Ridge: I’m okay with that. 100%. As long as we’re invited. As long as I’m invited.

Taylor: Me too.

[Knock on the door]

Taylor: Oh. Kelly and hayes.

Ridge: You ready for this?

Steffy: I can’t stop staring at you. You’re really here?

Finn: Yeah, I am. And I’m not going anywhere. I am never going to be apart from you again.

Steffy: Never. I don’t know if I should laugh or if I should cry.

Finn: I just want you. I’ll never let you go. I just want to get close as I can to you.

Steffy: I know we have so much to talk about. I know we do. There’s so much I– there’s so much that I don’t– I don’t know what you’ve been through. I–

Finn: That can wait. That can wait, okay? Let’s just be together.

Finn: Steffy.

Ridge: I can’t believe it. Finn is alive and well and right here in monaco.

Taylor: Right here. It is the most wonderful news we could have ever hoped for–

Ridge: How does this– this is– he’s given a second chance. His family’s been given a second chance.

Taylor: Did you see the way that finn’s face lit up when he saw his kids?

Ridge: This whole thing is like a dream to me.

Taylor: It is like a dream. Finn was just standing right here. Our daughter’s getting her life back.

Ridge: I know.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh, it’s baker. I gotta take this. Baker. Hey, how are you doing? Listen, we’ve got some incredible news. Finn is alive.

Baker: I know.

Ridge: You know how? You heard?

Baker: Yes, it’s incredible. And I’m very happy for your daughter and your entire family.

Ridge: Well, we’re– we’re– we’re happy. We’re in shock. But we, you know, we’re happy.

Baker: I’m sorry I have to take that away from you but I’m afraid I have some bad news.

Ridge: About what?

Baker: Sheila carter. She’s gotten away again.

[ Knocking ]

[ Knocking intensifies ]

Deacon: I’m off the clock, paul.

[ Knocking ] I’m not covering another shift. I’m not doin’ it.

[ Knocking ] For god’s sake. All right. I’m coming! Paul–

Deacon: Oh, hell no. Not today. No way.

Sheila: No, no, no, no, no.

Deacon: Sheila, what the–

Sheila: I need your help!

Deacon: Are you insane? Dumb question. What are you doing here?

Sheila: I’m running out there. They’re looking for me.

Deacon: Of course they’re looking for you! You busted out of prison. What did you think was gonna happen?

Sheila: Please, please, deacon. Just– please, just give me a minute. Don’t turn me in. I’ve got– I’ve got nowhere to go.

Finn: Steffy! Oh, I– I thought you were someone else. Sorry.

Man: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Qu’est-ce que tu fais?

[ Woman speaking french ]

Taylor: I can’t believe sheila escaped again.

Ridge: I can’t believe that either. At least, baker says that li’s okay and they found that bastard, guthrie.

Taylor: Yeah.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh.

Ridge: Okay. Finn. I’ll put him on speaker. Any luck?

Finn: No. I thought I saw steffy but it wasn’t her.

Ridge: All right, don’t give up. We’ll find her.

Taylor: You know what?

Amelia just came to

take the kids. Ridge and I will join you.

Finn: Okay. Thanks.

[ Beep ] Where are you, steffy? Covid-19.

[ Finn sighing ]

Taylor: There he is, finn.

Finn: Oh, hey. Yeah. Still no sign of steffy. Uh–

Ridge: We can go over here and–

Flavia: Uh. Finn. You are alive.

Ridge: Uh, this is flavia. Steffy’s therapist.

Flavia: Excuse-moi. I have to give you a hug.

Finn: Okay. Oh.

[ Flavia laughs joyously ]

Flavia: I– I never thought I would say this, but it’s a real pleasure to meet you. Steffy’s going to be over the moon to see you. I send you some, uh, places where she could be taking a walk. Yes. Recently, she’s been taking very long walks by herself.

Finn: Yeah, without her phone. I mean, I’ve been trying to get a hold of her.

Flavia: She has very deep depression right now. She really doesn’t care about anything else but her kids and– all she wants to do is be with you.

Finn: I gotta see her.

Ridge: Well– well, let’s split up. We have a better chance of finding her.

Flavia: Okay. You can go to the promenade. I’m going to do the port and you take the square.

Finn: Okay.

Flavia: I’ll show you.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah.

Flavia: Yes.

Sheila: I– I can’t let them find me.

Deacon: Sheila, you can’t run forever.

Sheila: I’m going to do whatever it takes to stay our of prison.

Deacon: “Whatever it takes.” That’s the exact attitude that keeps getting you into trouble.

Sheila: No, I wouldn’t be in any of this trouble if steffy hadn’t come after me. I– I– I– I tried. I tried. I– I– walked away and she just wouldn’t stop–

Deacon: You don’t get it. You are not the victim here.

Sheila: I’m not saying that I am.

Deacon: What really happened in that alley that night, I want to know. What? Did– did steffy call you out or something for manipulating brooke into drinking? Then maybe, what? You were afraid that finn would shut you out if he found the truth–

Sheila: I never wanted to hurt steffy–

Deacon: No. But then you shot her to shut her up.

Sheila: I had no choice. By that time, it was either her or I was going away for the rest of my life.

Deacon: She has two little kids. Little kids. And you were okay with taking away their mother? You were taking both of hayes’ parents away?

Sheila: But I didn’T.

Deacon: What the hell were you doing with a gun in the first– you know, don’t even answer that. I don’t even want to know. The less I know, the better. Besides, nothing you say is going to change the fact that you killed your son.

Sheila: But I didn’T. That’s the beauty in all of this, deacon. I didn’t kill my son. My son… he’s alive.

[ Sheila laughing quietly ]

[ City din ]

Finn: Will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: I can’t believe it!

We’re getting married.

Finn: And we’re having

a baby.

As a sign of my love

and commitment to you.

Woman: Excusez-moi.

Est-ce que ça va?

Steffy: Sorry.

Woman: Are you okay?

Steffy: No.

Woman: Is there anything I can do to help?

Steffy: There’s no one who can help me.

Woman: Maybe there is.

[ Bell tolling ]

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Deacon: So li smuggled finn’s body out of the hospital to keep him alive.

Sheila: Yes! Isn’t that magnificent. I have been with finn this whole time.

Deacon: And you and li were hiding him, letting everyone think that he was still dead.

Sheila: No, li was trying to protect him.

Deacon: Yeah. From you?

Sheila: No, we were both taking care of him. We wanted to be certain he was fully recovered.

Deacon: This is– this is just– it’s surreal. This is too weir– I mean, it’s extraordinary, but I–

Sheila: I know. I know. It was– it was… it was for me, too. I– I broke out of prison thinking that I was going to see finn’s grave. And what I got was the biggest relief of my life: More time with my boy.

Deacon: I mean, this is absolutely unbelievable. Finn’s mother brought him back to life.

Sheila: Yes. Yes. I mean, I had to shock his heart several times but–

Deacon: I was talking about li. By the way, has anyone bothered to tell steffy that her husband’s alive?

> Sheila: Well– well, finn is possibly being reunited with her right now. I mean, that’s– that’s all I’ve ever wanted for my son, is his happiness.

Deacon: Oh, yeah, of course. So where does that leave you now? I– I mean, I would love to have a place with– with finn and hayes in their lives, but obviously that’s not going to happen, deacon. I’m a fugitive.

Deacon: So you came here? Sheila, for god’s sake, I am on probation.

Sheila: How’s that going for ya? Okay, look. I’m sorry. But you’re all I’ve got. I need your help.

[ Deacon sighing ]

Ridge: It’s not that big a place.

Taylor: No. All right, I’m going this way. Steffy!

Ridge: Excuse me. Hi. I’m sorry. Have you seen her anywhere?

Woman: No.

Ridge: Yeah, you sure?

Woman: Yeah.

Ridge: Okay, thank you.

Woman 2: Oh, my god. Is– is it ridge?

Finn: Oh, steffy, where are you?

[ Bell tolling ] At metro by t-mobile… you can save more.

Sheila: Please. Let me stay. Deacon, I promise I’ll never ask for a favor again.

Deacon: Sheila. You’re asking me to harbor a fugitive. I– I can’t–

Sheila: I promise that you are not going to get drug into this. They’re never even going to know I was here. I– I just, I– I just need a place to stay–

>. Deacon: You know, I’m barely out of prison myself. I’m on probation. What do you want me to do? You want me to give up my freedom for you?

Sheila: If I go back out there, I’m going to get caught. And they’re going to throw the book at me and then that’ll be it. I’ll never see the light of day, again. So yes, I made mistakes. I could have killed someone. But I didn’T. No one died. Steffy and finn, they’re– they’re doing fine.

Deacon: You got lucky. That doesn’t mean you get a free pass.

Sheila: I know, I– I know. I know I deserve to be punished for my actions. But all those weeks, thinking that I murdered my son, that was torture enough. And it tore me up inside. You know that finn means everything to me. And you know that I wanted steffy to accept me. I’ve– I’ve never been able to connect with people, deacon. And I felt like I was getting close to taylor. Like, I actually had a chance to be part of the family. A family that you destroyed.

Sheila: No! Finn is alive. He and steffy have been given the gift of a new beginning. This event, this horrible, awful tragedy is– it’s going to bring them together and make them even better. It’s going to give them a bond that can’t be broken. And they will heal. And they’re gonna get to see their children grow up.

Deacon: Do you– do you even hear yourself? A gift? So what happens now, sheila? You just– you just keep on cruising like nothing ever happened?

Sheila: I don’t– I don’t know. I don’t– I don’t– I don’t know what the future holds for me. I just know I can’t go back behind bars because I’m not going to survive there. Please, deacon. I know I’m asking a lot. But– but, I need you.

[ Banging ]

Baker: Open up, sharpe. We’re looking for sheila carter. Open up.

[ Banging ] Sharpe. It’s lapd.

Sheila: Please, don’t–

Deacon: What am I gonna do?

Sheila: Please, no.

Baker: Open up.

Deacon: I– what the–

[ Banging ]

Taylor: Ridge? I’m so frustrated. I can’t find her anywhere.

Ridge: Maybe try the harbor one more time.

Taylor: That’s a good idea. I just pray finn can find her.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: What? [ Panting ]

Finn: Steffy! It’s me! I found you! Steffy, it’s me. It’s really me.

[ Steffy whimpering ]

Finn: Honey, I’m alive! I love you so much!

Steffy: No, this can’t be– no, no, no. Finn! Oh, my god. [ Sobbing ]

[ Bell tolling ]

Steffy: Oh, finn. How? How?

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: Finn is alive?

Thomas: Wait, how?

Liam: We– we know. It’s a shock.

Eric: You’re absolutely certain of this? It’s not some kind of a hoax or something?

Hope: No, no, no, it’s– it’s not a hoax. But what it is, is a miracle.

Eric: Well, of course it is. But– but, I mean–

Liam: You have a million questions, right? Trust me. So did hope and I.

Hope: Yeah, we– we still don’t know all of the details, but–

Thomas: I– I– I don’t understand.

Liam: Well, it’s– it’s like hope said, it– it really is a miracle. I mean, finn did not die in that alley. Has he been through hell? Yes.

Hope: But he is very much alive.

Bill: Finn, you’ve been through a horrific ordeal. I think it’d be a good idea if you try to get some shut-eye.

Finn: Too excited. The closer we get to monaco, I just… steffy and the kids, they were all that kept me going all those days and nights in that room. Sheila refusing to even let me call steffy and tell her I was alive.

Bill: Must have been torture.

Finn: I just wanted to hear her voice, you know? And for her to hear mine. So she knew that I was doing everything that I could to get back to her and hayes and kelly. And it won’t be long now.

Flavia sofia: It’s an honor to meet you.

Taylor: Yes. You, too.

Ridge: Dr. Chevalier. Thanks for being here.

Flavia: Please call me flavia.

Ridge: Oh, okay. Um, well, as you can imagine, we’re very anxious to see steffy.

Taylor: Yes. Uh, we thought that she would be with you. Uh, is there a reason she’s not?

Flavia: Uh, first and foremost, I want to assure you that your daughter is receiving the best care possible.

Ridge: That’s great. And no one’s questioning that. We just, uh– we would like to spend some time with her.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: We came a long way.

Taylor: Yeah. Is– is she okay? Uh, has she had another setback?

Flavia: No, no, no. No– no– nothing like that.

Ridge: So, where’s steffy?

Flavia: Unfortunately, mr. Forrester, I do not know where your daughter is.

Eric: Well, uh, does steffy know? Has she been told?

Hope: Uh, no one’s been able to get in touch with her so far.

Thomas: Yeah, what about my mom and dad? I mean, they should be in monaco by now. Do they have any idea what happened?

Liam: Can’t get a hold of them either.

Brooke: My god. When everybody finally does find out…

Thomas: It’s just– it’s so crazy. Finn’s really alive.

Brooke: Oh!

Taylor: So, you don’t know where our daughter is?

Flavia: No, not at this right moment. But don’t be alarmed. Uh, steffy’s still struggling with the death of her husband and her own shooting, but she is making quite some progress.

Ridge: And that’s fantastic. And of course, we want to believe that, but in the same breath you’re telling us that she’s missing.

Flavia: Maybe I give you the wrong impression. Steffy sometimes, uh, takes time for herself to help with her healing. Uh, so at this very moment, mr. Forrester, I don’t know where your daughter is. I’m sorry.

Finn: I left several messages for steffy. She hasn’t called back. I’m not even sure if they’re going through.

Bill: Here. Try again.

Finn: Uh, hey, steffy, honey, it’s– it’s finn. Um, I– I– I know that it’s shocking, but it’s– it’s– it’s true, honey, I’m alive. Um, I’m– I’m not sure if you got my earlier messages, but I’m– I’m coming to be with you, babe. I’m on a plane right now headed to monaco. And, um, we’re going to be together soon. I promise. Uh, I– I– just– I love you so much. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Liam: And, uh, yeah, that’s, um– I think that’s pretty much everything we know at this point. Finn and li are both relatively okay.

Brooke: Thanks to your father. If he hadn’t found li in that alley and brought her back to his place, this would have ended so differently.

Thomas: So, he’s– he’s flying to monaco right now?

Liam: Yeah. To– to reunite finn with steffy and the kids.

Eric: Can you imagine what that’s going to be like for her? I mean, look what– how it affected us. And the babies, oh, my god! I mean, that little boy is going to have his father back. And– and kelly.

Liam: Oh, you’re not kidding about kelly. I mean, my– finn is so special to my daughter. She’s– she’s going to flip out because I know how much she missed him.

Thomas: The kids are going to be stoked, but steff… the reaction when she sees him for the first– well, wow. I mean, that’s just– oh, it’ll be priceless.

Bill: Pilot says we’ll be landing soon. I’ll try ridge again, give him the good news about you. Hopefully I’ll get through this time.

Taylor: Yes. Thank you. And if you hear from steffy, please let us know. We’re very anxious to speak with her.

Flavia: Of course. Bye.

Ridge: Thank you, doctor. Not how I thought this was going to go.

Taylor: No!

Ridge: So, we’re just going to wait for steffy? That’s it?

Taylor: I– I don’t know.

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: What does he want?

Taylor: Who?

Spencer.

Taylor: Oh, answer it or don’T.

Ridge: Yes. What do you want?

Bill: Finally. I’ve been trying to reach you.

Ridge: What, what’s going on?

Bill: Taylor there with you?

Ridge: Yes.

Bill: Put me on speaker.

Ridge: Dude, I don’t have time for your games right now. Please. What do you want?

Bill: Just do it, forrester.

Taylor: Huh? Me?

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Bill. What? What is it? Why are you calling?

Bill: I want you both to brace yourselves.

I have some unbelievable news.

Best news ever.

Ridge: What is it? I’m on my way to monaco. I’m on the jet. I have a very special passenger with me. Your son-in-law.

Finn is alive.

Guys?

Ridge: What are you– what are you saying?

Bill: Mother of all shocks, I know. I’ll let him tell you for himself.

Finn: Ridge, taylor.

It’s me, I’m alive.

Taylor: Finn? Finn…

Finn: Uh, it’s a really long story. My mother, li, she– she kept me alive and she nursed me back to health. Uh, but sheila got involved, and it’s– I’ll just– I can explain it all later, but I’m– I’m desperate to get a hold of steffy.

Ridge, are you there?

Ridge: Uh, yeah. I’m–

Taylor: We just can’t believe we’re talking to you!

Finn: Have you seen steffy?

Taylor: We– call her–

Ridge: We’ve been trying to call her, we just got here– yeah. Uh– yeah, so have I. I just keep getting her voicemail.

Ridge: When, um– when are you landing?

Finn: Soon.

Ridge: Okay, I’ll– I’ll– I’ll text you where the hotel is, where we’re staying and– and we’ll see you then.

Finn: What about kelly and hayes?

Ridge: I will get them here.

Taylor: Oh, finn, hayes and kelly are going to be so happy to see you. We all are. This is a miracle! You’re alive!

Finn: See you soon.

Bill: Steffy’s obviously not with them.

Finn: No. But that’s not going to stop me. I’ll find steffy and we’ll be together soon.

Steffy: Why, finn? Why? You said that you would shave your eyebrow off

Liam: So my dad’s plane should have landed in monaco by now.

Hope: Oh, looks like there might be a happy ending to the story after all.

Eric: It never occurred to me that there would be. You know, I– I– I knew that my granddaughter would power through all this, that she would get on with her life. But I knew there’d be a hole in her heart that would never get filled. And then…

Thomas: It’s amazing how quickly things can change. You know, steffy’s world’s about to be wonderful again.

Brooke: And I can just imagine how ridge and taylor are going to feel about this. After they watched their daughter suffer so terribly.

Taylor: Okay, I’m still trying to process all of this. Okay. I– I know that we just heard finn’s voice and– and he is on his way–

Ridge: How is even possible?

Taylor: I don’t know. I don’t know! My god, this is the last thing that we expected. You know what I expect– I’m not going to say what I expect, but–

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Finn is on his way here, he’s alive.

Ridge: I know. I know.

Taylor: He’s coming to get steffy!

[ Knocking on door ] Ridge.

Finn: Hey.

Ridge: Come here. Oh.

Taylor: It’s really you!

Finn: Yeah, it’s, uh– it’s me.

Taylor: Finn…

Finn: Hi.

Taylor: Finn…

Finn: Hey.

Taylor: Oh, my…

Finn: Hi.

Taylor: Oh, thank god. God is so good.

Finn: Yeah. I’m going to leave you all alone to celebrate. Oh, bill, hey, bill, wait a second. Um… uh, thanks for, uh, everything.

Bill: No thanks necessary.

Ridge: Thank you, bill. I’m in your debt.

Bill: Well, I guess you– no, ridge. I’m just glad I could help.

Taylor: Finn, finn, are– are– are you okay physically? Are you–

Finn: Oh, yeah, no, I’m– I’m really good. I’m– I’m fine–

Ridge: We have so many questions. You–

Finn: No, I know, I know. And, uh, I will answer them all. I swear. I– I promise. I just– I– I need to see steffy, kelly and hayes.

Taylor: Of course. Of course.

Finn: Yeah.

Taylor: We’re trying to get in touch with her. She’s not answering her phone and we’re– we’re texting her. I– I don’t know where she is.

Finn: Okay, what about the kids? Are they–

Taylor: They– they’re around, they’re around. They’re going to be so happy to see you.

Finn: No, I mean, I can’t wait. I just– they’re all I’ve been thinking about, you know–

[ Knocking on door ] Every moment, just like–

Ridge: I’ll get it.

Finn: Thought of them. Give them a hug and–

Taylor: Yes.

Finn: See them again or–

Taylor: And you’re going to, finn. Finn, after everything– after everything, you’re here and you’re alive. Look at you.

Ridge: Guess who’s here.

Taylor: Look! I’m steve.

Finn: I just can’t believe how big you’ve gotten, honey. Look at you. And I love–

Taylor: Aw, hayes was so tired. He really needed a nap.

Finn: Oh, god, yeah. Thank you.

Taylor: Yeah, of course.

Finn: Oh, my gosh, come here. I have missed you, bug. Like crazy.

Kelly: We missed you, too,

this much.

Finn: Yeah.

Kelly: Don’t ever go away again. Okay?

Finn: I won’T.

Kelly: Promise?

Finn: Yes, I promise.

Kelly: Does mommy know you’re here? She’s been so sad without you.

Taylor: Oh, kelly, we have all been sad without your daddy here.

Ridge: But not anymore. Only happy faces, especially for your mom.

Kelly: Why isn’t mommy here with us?

Finn: Oh, sweetie, um, she will be soon. Okay? As– as soon as I go get her.

Kelly: You’re leaving? You promised.

Taylor: Oh, kelly, it’s okay. He’s just going to go get mommy and come right back.

Finn: Yeah, and we’ll all be together again as a family. Does that sound good?

Ridge: Oh, I think that’s a yes.

Finn: Oh, my god. Um, okay, I’m– I’m– I’m going to go find her. Uh, but I– I don’t– I don’t have a phone. Can I borrow your phone?

Taylor: Well, of course you can, but do you think that’s a good idea? I mean, steffy could be anywhere.

Finn: I remember her mentioning a favorite spot. I’ll check it out. Just– I just can’t stay here. I’m going to be back real soon, okay? Okay.

Finn: I’m going to go find her. Gonna go find your mom.

Hope: Can you imagine when the word finally gets out how thrilled everyone is going to be? I mean, here at forrester, at the hospital?

Thomas: Especially at the hospital. I mean, all of his colleagues, they’re going to see this friend that they thought that they lost, but also this– this wonderful colleague that saves lives. And they’re gonna realize that he’s actually not gone.

Eric: He’s going to want to get back to work, too.

Thomas: Yeah.

Eric: He’s going to want to get back to a normal life, but, uh, he’s going to need some time. He needs to take time with his– his wife and his kids they deserve that.

Liam: Mm, yeah, they do. And steffy’s going to insist on it, trust me.

Brooke: I mean, this is just so amazing. Steffy has her husband back and their family can be together again. I mean, this is such an unbelievably beautiful blessing. It really is in so many ways.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay, I just updated flavia. She knows everything that’s going on. Oh, my goodness. What are we doing here?

Kelly: We’re drawing pictures, grandma.

Ridge: Yeah, grandma, what do you think we’re drawing?

Taylor: Let’s see. You know what? Let’s see, I see a mommy and I see a daddy, and I see two beautiful little kids.

Ridge: Hmm.

Taylor: Hmm.

Ridge: And whose family do you think this is?

Taylor: Hmm. I bet it’s yours and your little brother’S.

Ridge: I told you she’s smart. We’ve got a winner.

Taylor: Everybody looks so happy.

Kelly: We are happy, grandma.

Ridge: And you know why they’re happy, grandma? Because they’re gonna be a family again. Soon as mommy and daddy find each other. Steffy.

Bill: You really are alive. You’re safe now.

[Li sighs with relief]

Finn: Mom?

Li: Finn, thank god. Finn.

Finn: Mom.

Li: Finn! Thank god.

Finn: Mom.

Li: Ah. Finn.

Liam: I promise you, he’s going to want to take this call. Liam spencer. No, I can’t hold. Be– because I have information about where sheila carter is, that’s why.

Finn: You’re here. You’re really alive.

Li: Nothing can stop me from coming back to you. Nothing… and no one.

Sheila: How–how is this possible? Because I saw– there’s– there’s– there’s no way that you can– how the hell did you survive that?

Ridge: Tell me more about this dream.

Taylor: I was– it was– it was the kind of dream that feels so real. And then you wake up and– finn was alive, ridge. He was– he was– he was so– we were sitting around the bonfire and we were eating. And steffy was laughing like– just laughing. There was a clown. Yeah. Yeah. Who was making s’mores. It was a nice clown. I–I–I don’t know. I mean, I knew it was a dream, obviously. But I–I wish it wasn’T. I just– I wish I could just close my eyes and go back to that place. Back to the place where f-finn and steffy are together.

Pilot: Got more word

on the wi-fi.

Unfortunately,

we lost connection

until we land in monaco.

Hope it’s not too much

of an inconvenience.

Ridge: Great.

Taylor: You know what? A few hours is not going to kill us, ridge.

Ridge: I just– I don’t like being unavailable with– with– with everything that’s happening right now.

Taylor: I know. I just want to be there for steffy. I really do. I miss her and the kids so much. I know that I’m the one that said that she should go–

Ridge: Let’s not do that again, please.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Whatever happened, happened. I for one am very happy that steffy is out of L.A., With sheila running around. I think out of the country is a perfect place for her to be, right now.

Liam: Come on. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

[Phone rings]

Deputy chief baker: Liam spencer. I understand you have some information for me.

Liam: We found her.

Deputy chief baker: Sheila carter? Where?

Liam: So, I don’t have an exact location for you yet, but–

Deputy chief baker: Come on. Liam. I don’t have time for speculation.

Liam: No, this is what I’m trying to tell you. My dad is on his way over there right now with li finnegan. Now, she doesn’t know the street address, but she thinks she can lead him–

Deputy chief baker: How does li finnegan know where sheila is?

Liam: Because she was just there with sheila… and finn.

Deputy chief baker: With a dead man?

Liam: Yeah, well, that’s kind of the thing, finn is actually alive. Li has been um– well, she saved him, and she’s been keeping him alive somehow this entire time.

Deputy chief baker: What?

Liam: Can you just– can you just trust me for once, please?

Deputy chief baker: I don’t know what’s harder to believe, john finnegan’s alive or your father’s chasing sheila carter without police back up?

Liam: I know. This is why I’m calling you. My dad is going to text me the address as soon as he has it.

Deputy chief baker: I’ll give you my cell. I want you to call me immediately, as soon as you hear from him.

Liam: Okay. Go. Great. You just– you keep your phone on you, okay?

Hope: Finn is alive?

Finn: It’s just– I just– I thought that– I thought that you were dead. Was she– was sheila lying? She said that you crashed your car.

Sheila: No. She did crash. I saw it blow up with my own eyes. There is no way you could have survived that.

Li: But I did. Just like finn. Mother and son overcome whatever you throw at us. Not that there’s anything else for you to throw. Not from prison. You’re done, sheila.

Bill: Yes, you are. You’re never going to hurt anyone else ever again. Hi, I’m karen.

Taylor: You know, when I called steffy before we took off, I should have left a voicemail. But… with the wi-fi down–

Ridge: I don’t think us showing up is the worst surprise.

Taylor: I just don’t– I don’t want to show up out of nowhere and throw off her progress.

Ridge: We won’T. Let’s try to stay positive. We’re going to see our daughter today.

Hope: So, your dad is really on his way to find finn, right now? Finn, who is alive and well?

Liam: Yep. Well, I mean, I don’t know about well, considering he’s with sheila right now. But, uh– yeah. Basically, we think finn is still alive.

Hope: I don’t even understand how sheila got involved in all this. How did it go from–

Liam: She-

Hope: Li taking care of him–

Liam: She just– she tracked li down, somehow.

Hope: So, she was able to find where li was keeping finn?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, li said that she just showed up at the apartment and, like, pushed li out of the way.

Hope: Li must’ve been so scared, knowing what sheila is capable of it. Wait. I– was that why li was all disoriented and traumatized? Did sheila do something to her?

Liam: Well yeah. I mean, I don’t know exactly how it went down, but– yeah, I mean, that’s why my dad found li in the alley, barely able to speak, shaking. Like–

Hope: Thank god he found her.

Liam: Yeah. I just hope that he doesn’t do anything stupid because sheila’s way too dangerous. And the police need to be there.

[Text notification]

Hope: Is it?

Liam: Oh, my god. They found the apartment. They found the apartment. Now, I just have to make sure the police get there in time.

[Phone rings]

Deputy chief baker: Baker.

Liam: Got an address for you.

Deputy chief baker: Text it to me. I’m headed to my car now.

[Texting sounds]

[Liam sighs]

Sheila: What is wrong with all of you? You act like I wanted this to happen. I never wanted to hurt finn. I never wanted to see you drive off a bridge.

Li: Oh, you came chasing after me as a friendly gesture?

Sheila: What was I supposed to do? You were going to the police.

Finn: So, you admit you caused the crash?

Sheila: Oh, no. No, I did not cause the crash.

Li: You had everything to do with that crash. The only reason I was in that car is because of you. She attacked me when I tried calling the police.

Finn: What? You–

Bill: Don’T.

Li: I barely got away. I was not about to let her stop me. Not when your life was on the line. Next thing I knew, I was going over a bridge. Somehow, I survived.

Bill: No. No. No. You are not going anywhere.

Sheila: Let go of me. Let go of me. So help me god, I will–

Bill: You’ll what? What? You’re going back behind bars for the rest of your pathetic life. At metro by t-mobile… you can save more…

Sheila: Every decision I made was in your best interest. Would you just to tell them– please tell them how I saved you, how I nursed you back to health.

Li: You shot two people and left them for dead. Ran me off the road–

Finn: Wait. Wait. Wait. Mom? Two people? What are you talking about, two people?

Li: After she shot you, she turned the gun on steffy.

Finn: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Li: No, honey.

Finn: No.

Li: It’s okay. Finn, she survived. She survived.

Sheila: She threatened me. She threatened me. Finn, something just snapped. I’m sorry.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no. Listen. Listen, I know you want to take her out. We all do. Listen to me. Let the police deal with her. All right? There you go. You got something more important to worry about.

Finn: You’re right. You’re right.

Bill: Let’s get you–

Finn: Yeah.

Bill: Let’s get you to steffy. I’ll get you to steffy.

Finn: That’s fine. I’m not wasting another breath on you. After knowing what you’ve done. I am never going to speak to you again. Ever.

Sheila: Please.

Finn: No. You– I need to get to steffy. As soon as possible.

Li: She’s out of the country.

Bill: No. No. No. We’re going to take my jet as soon as the police get here.

Li: Go now. Please go.

Bill: No. I’m not leaving you with this crazy bitch.

Li: It’s fine, she’s tied up. Please, please take my son. Find his wife. Please.

Bill: Okay. Just got to call liam first.

[Cell phone rings]

Liam: Dad?

Bill: Hey. Ah, finn is alive. And we got sheila.

Liam: Oh, my god. Are you kidding me right now? It’s true, finn’s alive. He’s actually alive. And what about– what about sheila? Is she in custody?

Bill: No. That’s why I’m calling you. Are the police on their way?

Liam: Yeah, they should be there any minute.

Bill: Okay, great. I’m going to get finn to steffy. Reunite him with his family.

Bill: You ready?

Finn: You have no idea.

Finn: You okay with this?

Li: Yes. Of course. Go find your beautiful wife. Go.

Finn: Thanks mom. All right. I love you.

Li: I love you, too.

Sheila: Finn, wait. Finn. No matter what type of dog you have…

Li: Did you really think you were going to get away with this?

Sheila: I wasn’t trying to get away with anything. You don’t understand that, do you? I got exactly what I wanted. My son is alive. He’s recovering. He’s on his way to reunite with his wife. What more could I want?

Li: You’re not fooling me. I know exactly what you wanted. Finn and hayes in your life. Adoring you like the mother of the year. Instead, finn hates you. You’ll never see him or his son ever again. The only thing you’ll be seeing is the inside of a prison cell.

[Thud]

Mike: What the hell is going on?

Shelia: Cut me loose, mike. We got to get out of here, now. Now. Come on.

Mike: Here we go.

Sheila: Come on, mike. Come on. Come on.-

Pilot: Time to fasten those seatbelts.

We’ll be landing shortly in

monaco, where it’s sunny

with a high of 78 degrees.

Ridge: All right. You ready for this?

Taylor: Um, no.

Ridge: I’m not either. At least we will be not ready together. So that’s nice.

Taylor: Oh, ridge. I just miss her so much. I just– I just want to squeeze her.

Ridge: Me too.

Hope: Ridge still isn’t answering.

Liam: Yeah, steffy isn’t either. I’m sure it’s the time difference. But, oh my god, she needs to know that finn is alive. I can’t believe I just said that sentence out loud. Finn is alive.

Mike: There. That should do it.

Shelia: Thank you, michael. Thank you. We got to go.

Mike: Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah, let’s go.

Sheila: Well– separately, though. We’ll rendezvous later.

Mike: Yeah. Sure. Right. Yeah. But how will I know where… to find you. Ow… what the hell, lady?

Li: How could you do that?

Mike: I should have hit you harder.

Li: How could you let that psycho go?

Mike: Get out of my way.

Li: Make me.

Mike: You want to end up back on the floor? Because I will lay you out.

Deputy chief baker: Everybody, hands up now!

Mike: Ah, hell.

Deputy chief baker: Where’s sheila?

Li: She’s gone. Sheila got away.

Bill: Hey. You must be feeling better, all cleaned up.

Finn: Yeah.

[Finn sighing]

Bill: Don’t worry. We’ll be taking off any minute now.

Finn: Great. Hey, I am– I don’t know how to thank you for… all this.

Bill: The smile on steffy’s face when she sees you, will be thanks enough.

Finn: Can I borrow your phone?

Bill: Of course. Trying to reach steffy again?

Finn: Yeah. Voicemail again. God, I’ve missed your voice. Steffy, baby, it’s um– it’s me. It’s– um… it’s finn. I’m– I’m alive, honey. Your husband is alive. And um– I wish you would have picked up. But there’s so much I need to tell you. But what– you need to know is I’m on a plane, and we’re about to take off right now. I’m on my way to you. And… I can’t wait to see you and hold you. I love you so much. And– you, hayes and kelly. But it won’t be long. We’ll be together soon. Soon, steffy.

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: Li. Li. I found you… living on the street. Now, clearly, you have suffered some significant trauma.

Li: Sheila. Sheil–

Bill: Yeah.

Li: Sheila carter.

Liam: Sheila carter. Right that’s right. She killed your son, and that’s tragic, but we’re going to find her. Okay?

Li: No. He’s not dead. Finn is alive. My son is alive.

Finn: You say you love me.

Sheila: More than anything.

Finn: How am I supposed to believe that, when all you do is take away what I love?

Sheila: That was– that was never my intention.

Finn: Then, make it right, sheila. Start by letting me go so I can be… with my wife and son.

[ Plane whooshing ]

Taylor: Can this thing go any faster?

Ridge: We’ll be in monaco before you know it.

Taylor: Not exactly the reunion I was hoping for. Meeting our daughter at a depression rehab.

Ridge: I thought she was. Starting to recover.

Taylor: You know, I– I should of dug deeper. I should have– I should have– I should have pushed more. But I didn’t want to– I didn’t want to push her too much. I wanted to take her at her word that she was– that she was doing okay. But losing finn– she’s never going to come back from that.

Ridge: We’ll make sure she does.

Taylor: I just want to hold steffy. She must feel so alone without finn. We just have to remind her that we are there for her. That her family is there to support her.

Ridge: Unfortunately, we are not what steffy needs right now. There was only one person who could lift that darkness… …and he’s gone forever.

Finn: You carried me in your womb. That’s the first human connection that I ever had. That’s why I wanted to believe… that there was good in you.

Shelia: The best part of me… is my love for you.

Finn: But that’s the thing, sheila. This doesn’t feel like love. It feels like punishment. Holding me here against my will? Sedating me when I try to leave? Keeping me away from my family? Letting steffy think that I’m dead? Do you have any idea how much pain that must be causing her? I will never see my mother again because of you. I won’t let the same thing happen with steffy.

Bill: Listen, uh… we understand your– your being confused. You’ve suffered some kind of significant trauma, and– and you’re still affected by it.

Liam: And that’s on top of losing your son. So–

Li: No. No, he’s not dead. He’s alive. He’s with sheila. (Vo) at dog chow

[ Plane whooshing ]

Taylor: It’s so unfair. Taken away from his family by his birth mother.

Ridge: Right in front of steffy. How do you get that image out of your head?

Taylor: Hopefully, she’s getting the tools that she needs.

Ridge: She has you.

Taylor: She has us.

Ridge: She has us.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: And we’re going to protect her. Her and the kids.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, it hurts my heart.. that hayes is going to grow up never knowing who his father was. Never knowing what an exceptional man he was. How happy he made steffy.

Finn: What are you doing?

Shelia: I’m just making sure your vitals are stable.

No. I’m talking long term. None of this is sustainable. You know that, don’t you? Not for one more day. I’m not helpless. You can’t keep me here any longer, sheila. I’m done.

Sheila: I’m sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. I came… back to L.A. With nothing but good intentions. I wanted to meet… my son. I wanted to look you in the eye and tell you that I was your mother. And I never stopped loving you. But things could have been so different if steffy would have just accepted me.

Finn: There you go. Always blaming others for what you set in motion. None of this is steffy’s fault. It’s yours.

Shelia: Ah you– you want to believe that steffy is blameless in all of this. But had she opened her heart just a little and given me a chance? I would have proven myself. And I would have been a part of this family. Taken my rightful place in my son and my grandson’s lives. But no. No, she wouldn’t allow it. She was– she was hell bent on stopping that. And finn– I just–

[ Breathing heavy ] I just lost it.

Finn: Yeah. You tried to kill her, and you shot me instead.

Sheila: You weren’t supposed to be there.

Finn: Sheila! Listen to yourself. Just stop it. Stop trying to justify this unforgivable thing.

Sheila: Oh, don’t say that. Don’t say that it’s unforgivable. You don’t mean that. Please. I love you, finn. And I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to go to prison for the rest of my life thinking that I’m never going to see you or hayes again. You have to believe me. I– shooting you was the worst thing I have ever done. But it was an accident. I mean it. I didn’t want to hurt you or steffy or li.

Li: I’m telling the truth.

Bill: I believe that you believe that you’re telling the truth, but–

Li: He is.

Liam: Okay, hol–hold. Wait. You’re saying that finn is alive? You’re also saying that he’s with sheila?

[ Li sighs ]

Li: Everyone wrote him off except me. That hospital– he didn’t die. I saved him. Refused to give up on my son. Refused to let sheila take him from me.

Bill: And now finn is with her?

Li: Yes! I have to stop sheila. Hi, my name’s steve.

Ridge: Oh, I hate long flights.

Taylor: I know you do. Why don’t you try to get some rest for just a little bit?

Ridge: I can’t rest– I can’T. I’m too wound up.

Taylor: Sit down.

Ridge: All right. Just sit, I guess. I’ll read this. What are you doing?

Taylor: Damnit.

Ridge: What?

Taylor: The wi-fi went out again.

Ridge: Sorry. What were you working on?

Taylor: Well… I’m doing a little bit of social media stalking right now. I haven’t heard back from li, for a little bit. I don’t know. I think– I think it’s really odd that she’s just disappeared. No word from li.

Bill: I know it’s hard, but can you help us understand?

Liam: Yeah. Because, li, this whole time, everybody, including his wife, has believed that finn was dead. I mean, steffy even tried to talk to you about a memorial service. Do you remember that?

Li: It’s the way I wanted it.

Liam: Why?

Li: What I found out about finn…

Bill: It’s okay. We’re here to help you.

Li: He was on life support. No brain activity. His doctor thought finn had no chance. But… I knew my son. I knew my son is a fighter. He just needed time. Oh, so… I smuggled him out. Signed the death certificate. Broke laws… …procedures… to get him to a safe place. Where I can give him the care that he needed to live. I was nursing finn back to health. But sheila broke out and somehow tracked me down.

Sheila: Where is my son?

Liam: And she didn’t even know that finn was alive?

Li: She wanted to know where he was laid to rest to say goodbye. I tried getting rid of her. But finn stirred in the other room. She shoved me out of the way. And…no denying what she saw.

Bill: Finn. Very much alive.

Li: Yes.

Liam: Oh, my god. That’s why no tombstone. That’s why no memorial service, of course.

Li: I tried to warn the police about sheila. But she caught me. Chased me. I lost control of the car and crashed in the water.

Bill: That’s how you ended up in the alley, and suffered all that trauma.

Liam: Li, if finn really is alive, it’s because you saved him.

Li: And he’s with sheila. I have to save him again.

Shelia: I am so incredibly sorry. How many times do I have to say that? Does it even count that I saved your life?

Finn: My mother brought me back to life. It was li.

Sheila: That was the first time. You don’t even remember. Your heart stopped, finn. And it terrified me. I didn’t know what to do. And I– I saw the paddles. I saw the paddles, and I used them on you. I saved your life. I did that. Your real mother.

Finn: Who loves me, right?

Sheila: More than anything.

Finn: Then, let me go. You saved my life. Let me live it.

Sheila: It was never my intention to make you a prisoner here. To keep you away from steffy and hayes. I would never deprive you of your family.

Finn: That’s exactly what you’re doing.

Sheila: I just wanted this time with you.

Finn: Oh, come on, sheila. I won’t go another day… without seeing steffy. You say you want my happiness? Well, nothing makes me happier than steffy, hayes and kelly. Let me go. Just let me go. (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Bill: This is unreal. Finn’s alive?

Li: Yes.

Liam: My god. Steffy needs to know. I gotta tell her.

Bill: No.

Liam: What? Why?

Bill: If finn’s been with sheila, he’s not safe. No one can know until we have him in hand.

Liam: You’re right.

Bill: Can you take me to them?

Li: I’ll recognize the building if I see it.

Liam: Okay. You text me when you find it. I’m gonna call baker.

Bill: All right. We’ll get your son.

[ Plane whooshing ]

Taylor: Oh.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.

Taylor: I didn’t mean to use you as a pillow.

Ridge: Use me anytime you want.

Taylor: Ridge, I was having the most wonderful dream. There was a bonfire on the beach, and steffy and finn were there. And they were together. She was so happy.

Sheila: How did this happen? Why does… this always happen to me? We– but we can get past this. We can start over. No, we– we can. We can. You are a kind, compassionate man. Maybe you can– maybe you can show a little bit of that to a woman that gave birth to you.

Finn: You tried to shoot my wife, and you killed my mother. I wish it wasn’t too late to save her, but you know what? I can promise you this: You will never terrorize steffy again, and you will never know, hayes.

Sheila: No. I just wanted to be near you… and hayes. Steffy, too. I– I wanted to love all of you.

Finn: It’s not possible.

Sheila: What are you doing?

Finn: I don’t think it ever was.

Sheila: You can’t do that. You’re not strong enough yet.

Finn: I’m good.

Sheila: You can’t just walk out of here.

[ Long beep ] You can’t walk out.

Finn: How are going to stop me? You going to shoot me again? Going to stick me with a needle?

Sheila: No, son.

Finn: No. No, I’m not your son. Do you have any idea what you’ve taken from me?

Sheila: I’m sorry.

Finn: I want to believe that. But what I want even more is for you to see all of the harm and destruction that you’ve caused. You can’t stop me. This time, this time here with you… it’s over. It’s over.

Sheila: Yeah, go ahead. I’m not going to stop you from trying to find steffy.

Finn: I wish it could have been different.

Sheila: Finn?

[ Footsteps ]

[ Door clicking ]

Bill: You really are alive.

Bill: You’re safe now.

[ Li sighs ]

Finn: Mom? Mom?

Li: Finn. Thank god. Finn. Finn. Finn. Thank god.

Finn: Mom, you’re alive?

Li: Ah, finn. Oh. [ Gasping sobs ]

Ridge: No. I’m finishing upr: Um, yes, I did. Thank you for asking. She’s going to watch my patients until I get back.

Ridge: Makes things a little easier, right?

Taylor: All I can think about right now is getting to monaco to see steffy.

Ridge: Well, we’ll be there soon enough. Meet ya at the jet.

Taylor: Okay. Bye.

[ Knocking on door ] Yeah?

Deacon: Hey.

Taylor: Deacon.

Deacon: What’s going on? Where’s your big, funny bodyguard?

Taylor: Well, we don’t really need him right now. Ridge and I are going out of town. We need to go check on steffy.

Deacon: You guys are going to europe.

Taylor: You know, we thought that– that being away would maybe help change her perspective on things, but losing finn is just too much for her.

[ Humming gently ]

Sheila: There he is.

Finn: What’d you do? What did you do?

Sheila: I’m sorry. I don’t want to have to keep sedating you, but you’re going to hurt yourself if you keep lashing out like that.

Finn: You sedated me again?

Sheila: Yeah, but it’s wearing off. You got some rest. That’s a good thing. I’m gonna have to lay down a few ground rules. No more outbursts and tirades, okay? It’s just only going to cause you setbacks and I know you don’t want that.

Finn: I want to go home. I need to see steffy. Today.

Bill: Hey, good morning. I don’t know if you drank coffee, but I made a cup. How ya feeling? You’re all cleaned up. You look great. Did you sleep well? Are you ready to tell me your name? What happened to ya? It’s okay. I think we’re going to have a breakthrough today.

[ Knocking on door ]

Zende: Good, I caught you.

Ridge: Barely, I’m on my way to the airport.

Zende: So I heard, uh, you’re going to see steffy?

Ridge: Yeah.

Zende: Give my cousin my best. All of us, we’re all thinking about her. Please tell her that.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I– I know that you thought that this time away would be good for steffy.

Taylor: Ah, I really did. You know, she likes to do things in her own way. You know?

Deacon: Wonder where she gets that from? Look, think of it this way: She needs more help with her grief and she’s getting it so that’s a good thing.

Taylor: It is but– but, she hasn’t been okay and she’s been keeping it from us.

Deacon: Well then, you gotta go and see yourself. I’ll be thinking about you while you’re gone.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. That’s really sweet. You know, I– I– I don’t think that we should see each other like this when I get back.

Finn: You know that this is wrong.

Sheila: You’ve got to stop behaving like this. You’re still recovering.

Finn: You’re not listening.

Sheila: It’s not doing you any good to fight me.

Finn: Steffy thinks I’m dead because of you. And my mother is gone because of you.

Bill: I found you down by the wharf. You were hurt. Scared. Maybe if I tell you more about myself, which is my favorite subject anyway. Well, maybe then you’ll– you’ll tell me more about you, your name, what happened to you? I told you I have three sons. What– what– what? Hey, liam. Sort of talking about you.

Liam: I couldn’t take it anymore. Where is this, uh– where’s this total stranger you’ve invited into your home?

Bill: She’s in her room.

Liam: She got a room now, huh? Who are you? What is happening right now? You don’t even know this person.

Bill: We’re working on that.

Liam: Is this because of that little conversation you had with wyatt?

Bill: It’s because I found this woman alone in an alley, she was in bad shape and I decided to help her. And that’s what I’m gonna do. And I would think that you, of all people, would understand that. (Vo) at dog chow

Ridge: All right, I need to get going.

Zende: You and taylor must be anxious to see steffy.

Ridge: We are. I don’t want to keep her waiting.

Zende: Yeah.

Ridge: Thanks.

[ Zende sighing ]

Taylor: I’m not trying to be hurtful or insensitive.

Deacon: You don’t have it in you. Taylor, listen, if– if you don’t want me to stop by anymore, I’m not going to push back.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you. Because timing is everything and–

Deacon: Stop, please. Come on. I’m a big boy. You don’t have to play that game with me–

Taylor: Oh, good, good. So you– you understand?

Deacon: Yeah, of course I understand. Uh, yea, this is a bitter pill that I’ve been swallowing for a long time now.

Taylor: But you know that this has nothing to do with you or your past, it’S…

Deacon: Yeah. No, I know exactly what it has to do with. Ridge. It’s always ridge.

Taylor: Well, you know– you know how he feels about you.

Deacon: And you’re still hung up on him.

Taylor: I’m trying not to be. Right now, I am just focused on our kids and our grandkids.

Deacon: And you don’t want to upset him?

Taylor: You know, I– I– I don’t think I could handle any more conflict of any kind right now. And I know that my children couldn’T. My god, we have been through so much.

Deacon: You’re afraid that he’s going to ditch you the same way he ditched brooke when she got too close to me. You– you get– you get how messed up this is, right? Why the hell does he get to make all the rules? I understand you have kids and I– I know things have been rough. But the reality is this: He is married to brooke. He’s moved back in with her which means he is this close to recommitting to her. And so I just don’t get why he gets to dictate who you see.

Sheila: You’re twisting what I told you.

Finn: You were chasing my moher when she died. She was running away from you.

Sheila: I didn’t want anything to happen to li, I trusted her. We were going to be a team. Make you healthy again. She even told me she could see how much I love you. She lied to me. But my love is true, finn. Honey, I love you so much.

Finn: Prove it. Prove your love for me. My son. Send me home. Let me be with my family again.

Liam: Listen, all I’m saying is this doesn’t– it doesn’t feel very… bill.

Bill: All right look, uh, it’s not like I don’t do any good things, all right? I poured money into charities for years. Even the forrester foundation.

Liam: Thought you did that to stick it to ridge.

Bill: I did. But that’s not the point.

Liam: Okay, what is the point?

Bill: I don’t know. No, I– I– I do know. I do know. The point is, I want to make a difference.

Liam: Dad, there’s literally a foundation in your name. You give millions to charity every year. What are you talking about?

Bill: Liam, look, that’s from a distance. That’s with my checkbook. All right? With this woman, I can do something immediately impactful for just one person.

Liam: No, that– trust me. That’s cool. But, you know, devil’s advocate. You– you don’t know this person whom you found in an alley. They could be unstable. They could be a drug addict or a criminal, like you don’t–

Bill: Yes, she’s a– she’s an undercover hit woman for the mob–

Liam: Okay. That is not what I’m saying–

Bill: You’re being ridiculous. Keep your voice down. Trying to get her to trust me.

Liam: Okay.

Bill: Look, liam, I’m telling you. There is a story that this woman has to tell. Now, I don’t know why, but I have got to figure out what it is. You can call it my– my spency-senses tingling. You better get that look off your face, son.

Liam: What? It’s my instincts that built an empire.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not questioning your instincts, but clearly you have formed some kind of connection with this woman.

Bill: Liam, I have to help her. I need to do this. You said that you would shave your eyebrow off

Deacon: I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I don’t think anyone should tell you what to do. That’s the point.

Taylor: It’s a– it’s a sharpe point. You– see what I–

Deacon: Just saw it. Exactly what you were– it was very cute, but obviously not a sharp enough point to change your mind.

Taylor: Nope. It’s not. Look, ridge and I are about to get on a plane to go see our daughter and our grandkids. And when we get there, steffy’s going to need us like she’s never needed us before. She’s in the deepest depression.

Deacon: Well, there’s nobody more qualified to pull her out of it than you are. And when she’s better– and she will get better– and when you’re back in L.A. I– I just– I think we oughtta just see nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”. And even– even before, all the way back to your– your wedding. All I ever wanted was to meet you, finn. To congratulate you and tell you how proud I was. And how I horribly regretted ever giving you up. I never meant to hurt anyone, especially you.

Finn: Show me, then. Let me go. Set me free. Let me go home.

Ridge: Are we ready to go?

Trevor: Flight plan’s filed. As soon as dr. Hayes is on board, we can take off.

Ridge: Cool, she’s on her way.

Taylor: Sorry, sorry, sorry. I got hung up at the office, but I’m here now. Hi, captain.

Trevor: Hey. I was just telling mr. Forrester that we’re cleared to take off any time.

Taylor: Okay. The sooner we get there, the better.

Trevor: We’ll be there as soon as possible.

Ridge: Thanks, trevor.

Trevor: Yes, sir.

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hi.

Taylor: Our daughter needs us, ridge. I wish we were there already.

Bill: You have two choices, liam. All right? You can get on board. Or you can get the hell out. Now, enough with this. I don’t wanna talk about it anymore. Talk to me about steffy. You said she was struggling.

Liam: Oh, yeah. Well, it turns out that she had to check herself into a depression rehab facility, which, you know, I can’t say I blame her after all the trauma surrounding finn. Oh, hey. Uh, there you are. Now, come on in. I– I want you to meet someone. This is my son.

Liam: Li. Li. Li that– um, I’m liam. Liam spencer. I’m kelly’s dad. Do you– oh, my god. What happen– what happened to you? Are you okay? Kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff

Ridge: Who are you texting?

Taylor: Flavia, the lead therapist in monaco. Just letting her know we’re on our way.

Ridge: Just wish we could be there already. I want to see steffy and the kids.-Taylor: Me too. I’m glad that she got help. I really am. I just wish she would have let us know how she was feeling.

Ridge: Why was she putting on a brave face when we talk to her all the time? Why?

Taylor: Because the forresters power through.

Ridge: And we pull together.

Finn: I keep asking for the same thing.

Sheila: I can’t do that. I can’t let you go. No, I can’t let you jeopardize all the progress that you have made.

Sheila: Why– why– why can’t you be grateful for what you have? I am.

Finn: You’re not being kept apart from the people that you love.

Sheila: I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here.

Finn: My family’s hurting, sheila. They need to know that I’m alive. All I’m asking for is a little bit of mercy.

Sheila: Oh, yeah, the way that steffy showed me mercy? When she tricked me into meeting her at il giardino. When she followed me into that back alley and berated me and threatened me? When all I wanted was a little consideration, a little compassion, a chance to show them that I could be good. But steffy and li, they used that against me. I trusted them and they lied to me. I’m telling you the truth and I’m saying it as clearly as I can: I want to go home. Steffy and hayes, they need me. You took my mother away from me. Sheila, I’m never going to see her again. Now, give me back my wife and son.

Bill: You know this woman?

Liam: It’s li– dad. It’s li– this is li. This is steffy’s mother-in-law.

Bill: Wha– wha– finn’s mother? Well, we never met.

Liam: How– are you– are you all right? I mean, what are you even– I don’t understand any of this.

Bill: I really don’t now.

Liam: Were you attacked, are you– or were you in an accident? Like what–

Bill: Why didn’t you tell me who you were? I know finn and steffy. He was helping to raise my grandchild. I mean, his death impacted all of us.

[ Li and sheila screaming ]

Li: Come on, come on.

[ Engine revving ]

Oh!

Oh! Sheila. Sheila. Sheila.

Bill: Sheila? Wait, sheila carter?

Li: Finn! My son, finn!

Liam: No, yeah, no, we know. We– we– we know. Sheila killed finn. It’s a tragedy that he’s gone.

Li: No, no, no, no. Finn. He’s not dead. Finn’s alive. My– my son’s alive.

Finn: My mother is dead because of you!

Sheila: Need to calm down. No, you’ve, you’ve got to stay there.

Finn: No! What I have to do is what somebody should’ve done to you a long time ago.

Sheila: You need to get back in bed because you are not strong enou–

Finn: –Shut up! I’m leaving! I’m going back to my wife and son but not before I make you pay for what you have done to us, to my mother, the woman that you killed!

Bill: Here’s some more water. You’ve gotta be hungry. Is that why you were in the alley behind the restaurant? Were– were you looking for food? Look, I– I know that I’m a– I’m a total stranger but I– I’m really just trying to help you. You’re obviously traumatized. A little bit beat up. I– I wish you would let me take you to a hospital. Oh. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. No. No hospital. Will ya– will you please just drink some more water? I… don’t want you to get dehydrated. Please. That’s it. That’S… there you go. There you go. Good.

Bill: What is it? You– you’re trying to tell me something? Well, whatever it is, if you do have a son, do you want me to contact him? Does he know what happened to you?

[Wyatt clears throat]

Wyatt: A depression rehab center?

Liam: Yeah. In monaco. I mean… ridge said that they brought the nanny but I’m still, I’m still concerned.

Wyatt: I thought steffy was doing okay.

Liam: Yeah, well, we all did, ’cause that’s steffy. You know, she wants everyone to think everything is just fine. She doesn’t want anybody to worry. But, um, you know, at some point, she must have realized it was– it was getting to be too much for her and she needed help.

Wyatt: I guess we all know who to blame for this.

Sheila: I told you, li’s death was an accident.

Finn: Oh, just like shooting me was an accident.

Sheila: Yes.

Liam: Nah, you wanted to kill steffy, the mother of my son, the love of my life. You know, it’s you who should be dead, not my real mother. Someone should’ve put a bullet in your head that night. But since they didn’t it’s up to me to take matters into my own hands to make sure justice is served, sheila! Oh!

Sheila: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[Thud]

[Grunting] Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

Wyatt: Thanks.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: So you think the cops are any closer to catching sheila or no?

[Liam sighs]

Liam: I don’t know– oh, actually, uh, there is one interesting development.

Wyatt: What? They have a credit card charge or did they spot her?

Liam: Oh, no– well, no, nothing cool like that. But there– but there is uh, some new information about the guy who helped sheila escape. Apparently, it– it wasn’t just some random guard. This guy was, like, sheila’s accomplice back in the day.

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Yeah. Guy’s name is uh, mike guthrie. And, and ridge and brooke knew who he was. They remembered his connection to sheila, like, years ago. And, in fact, they went with baker to question the guy. And then he, you know, denied everything.

Wyatt: Oh, of course. Of course he did. Sure.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, and unfortunately, baker says that, that I guess all– all the evidence is circumstantial so he can’t do anything unless there’s some kind of, like, cctv footage or, or a witness. So there, like, he can’t– there has to be hard evidence. So until then–

Wyatt: He just gets off scot-free.

Liam: Uh, apparently, for now.

Wyatt: And sheila is just still out there, as dangerous as ever?

Liam: If not more.

[Beeping]

Sheila: Why can’t you just let me love you? Take care of you. Why do you have to lash out the way that you– you do. I’m your mother. I just want to love you.

[Banging]

Mike: It’s me! Open up.

Mike: Sheila!

Sheila: I’ve been trying to reach you and you haven’t been answering your cell phone.

Mike: I was questioned by the cops. Ridge and brooke were there, too.

Sheila: What?

Mike: They’re on to me, sheila. I am right in their cross hairs.

Sheila: And you decided to just come straight here? What were you thinking?

Bill: A little something here for you to eat. Okay. Ah, that’s good. Great.

[Knocking] Uh, it– it’s okay. It’s– it’s a doctor friend of mine. You didn’t want to go to the hospital. But you do need some medical attention. It’s okay.

Dr. Armstrong: Hello, bill.

Bill: Hey jordan. Thanks for coming by. Uh, hope I didn’t take you away from anything too important.

Dr. Armstrong: Nah. Just another fundraiser. Did me a favor.

Bill: Well, now you’re doin’ me a favor. This uh, this is the woman I talked to you about.

Dr. Armstrong: Hi. I’m dr. Jordan armstrong. Bill and I go way back. May I? Bill is really concerned about you. Can you tell me what happened? Well, I do see some cuts, abrasions. Did you injure yourself in some kind of an accident?

[Li grunting]

Li: Back off you crazy bitch!

Oh!

– Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Sheila: How dare you come back here? Do you know the jeopardy that you have put me in?

Mike: No one followed me. I made sure.

Sheila: Right. You’re sure.

Mike: Don’t take that tone with me. I am doing you a favor alerting you to what’s goin’ on here.

Sheila: Do you realize the risk that you’ve just put me in?

Mike: Okay, fine. It was a risk. That doesn’t change the fact that the walls are closing in on both of us. We have gotta act quick if we’re gonna save ourselves.

Liam: You’re not wrong, this place has a good vibe.

Wyatt: Ah! See? I told you.

[Liam laughs]

Liam: Did dad agree? How was dinner with the old man, by the way? Did he spring for the check or did he make you pay? I feel like he made you pay.

Wyatt: He paid, he paid.

Liam: Okay.

Wyatt: Uh, actually, between you and me, I’m a little concerned about him. Well, he was gettin’ all… philosophical and compassionate and– that! I know! That’s not dad, right?

Liam: No.

Wyatt: I just, I don’t know. I– I’m worried about him living up in that big house all by himself.

Dr. Armstrong: I know we keep asking you this. But can you tell us how this happened? Okay. You rest. I’m going to talk with bill for a moment.

Bill: What do you think?

Jordan: She’s definitely been traumatized.

Bill: Well. I figured that out for myself, jordan. What– what I’m asking is, do you think she’s gonna be all right?

Dr. Armstrong: Physically? Yes. She doesn’t appear to have any broken bones or internal injuries. Although I’d rather get her to the hospital, run some tests and be certain.

Bill: It’s not gonna happen. She– she won’t go. That’s why I asked you to come here. What else?

Dr. Armstrong: Well, I did find some tiny shards of glass in her hair.

Bill: Really?

Dr. Armstrong: Like, pieces of a broken windshield?

Bill: So a car accident?

Dr. Armstrong: Well, again, I can’t be certain. But her cuts and abrasions, they’re consistent with that. Yes. At any rate, whatever happened to this woman, it must’ve been one hell of an ordeal. So much so that she’s completely shutting down.

Bill: And that’s why she won’t talk.

Dr. Armstrong: It’s my guess. Now, you said that she didn’t have any id on her, at all?

Bill: No, nothing. And when i gently questioned her about family, I got nothing. Except when I brought up a son, and then she was somewhat responsive.

Dr. Armstrong: Hm. Well, my friend, I commend you for helping this woman. Who knows what might have happened to her if you hadn’T.

Bill: Listen, she– she was so vulnerable and scared, huddled in that alley. I mean, who wouldn’t feel for someone like that? I just wish I knew what her story was ’cause I’m telling you this is not it. This is not who this woman is. Now I can only get so much out of her. I can only push so hard. I wish she would tell me her name. I wish I knew who you are. Hi, I’m denise.

[Alarm blaring]

Mike: We’ve got no time to lose. Any minute now. Do you hear that?

[Siren wails in distance]

Sheila: Hear what?

Mike: That noise outside. It’s a siren.

Sheila: You’re imagining things.

Mike: No. I just heard a siren now.

Sheila: Would you get a grip? You’re not helping the situation.

Mike: You wanna know what’s not helping? You, sheila. Thinkin’ this can go on. Holed up here playin’ doting, loving mama to the, the, the bed ridden, back from the dead son who just so happens to hate your guts.

Sheila: Finn does not hate me.

Mike: Oh, yeah? Well, maybe I’ll ask him. Okay? Finn–

Sheila: No, no, he’s resting mike. Stop.

Mike: Seems to be a little more than just resting. Did you– finn. Ya harpooned him with another syringe, didn’t you?

Sheila: I had to give him another sedative. I had to. I– he knows the truth about li, that she’s dead. He was very upset–

Mike: Whoa, whoa. Back up. Only way finn could’ve learned that is from you.

Sheila: I felt finn deserved to know the truth. So I told him– I told him how I chased li in my car and she lost control and you know the rest.

[Mike scoffs]

Mike: More importantly, so does finn now.

Sheila: I have never seen my baby more enraged. I needed– I needed to do something to calm him down, didn’t I?

Mike: Jeez-louise, sheila. This whole situation is getting way out of hand. You gotta see that.

Sheila: Okay, things aren’t going the way that I had planned but we’re just gonna make the best of it.

Mike: Well, maybe you will, but when the cops come bustin’ through that door, I’m not gonna be here. No freakin’ way does this guy wind up in the slammer.

Sheila: Don’t you dare bring the police to my doorstep, michael. I swear, I–

[Door slams]

Finn: The police are on to you, sheila. It’s only a matter of time before you’re caught. You’re finally going to pay for everything that you’ve done to me, steffy and my mother.

[Phone ringing]

Bill: Uh, it’s– it’s my son. I– I need to take this.

[Phone ringing] Hey, liam, what’s– what’s goin’ on?

Liam: Hey, yourself. Good time to talk?

Bill: No, actually, it’s, it’s not. I have someone here.

Liam: Oh, yeah. Who? Dad… everything okay?

Bill: Well, you– you know that wyatt and I, we– we had dinner earlier. Right?

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. I’m– I’m here with wyatt right now. Say, ‘hi.’

Wyatt: Hey, hey, dad. Are you all right? Yeah, I’m– I’m fine. But the woman I found in the alley after you and i had dinner isn’T.

Wyatt & liam: What?

Bill: Tried to help her, but she really wasn’t responsive.

Wyatt: Well, did you call an ambulance?

Bill: She refused to go to the hospital. Liam: Okay– well then, what– what did you do?

Bill: Um… well, i brought her home with me.

Liam: So is it– that’s who you’re with right now? The woman from the alley?

Bill: Yeah. Uh, i called a doctor friend of mine. I wanted him to examine her. Look, it’s clear that she has been through something extremely traumatic.

>>Wyatt: Okay…

Liam: You were not kidding.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: Um, okay. Yeah. Uh, you know, just um, uh, be careful. You never know what you’re getting into.

Bill: Yeah. Don’t– don’t worry about it. I’m fine. Anyway, enough about that. I want you to tell me about steffy. How’s she doing?

Liam: Oh, uh yeah. Well, I’ll– I’ll spare you the details now but um, she’s uh– [Mouths “steffy”] She’s– she’s struggling.

Bill: Well, of course she’s struggling, liam. She lost finn. He was everything to her. She loved finn so much. Um, listen guys. I– I gotta go. What– what is it? What– what’s upsetting you? Let– let me help you.

Li: You’re a fighter.

Keep fighting.

Bill: Is it your family? Is there someone you love? Is… is it your son?

Finn: You will never

lose me.

Bill: If it’s your son, you– you just have to tell me something about him. Where– where is he? Is he– is he worried about you? Does he have any idea what happened? I– I will bring him to you.

[Li struggles to talk]

Bill: You have to tell me who he is. What is your son’s name?

Li: In…

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Our poor daughter. What she must be going through.

Ridge: Well, at least she’s taking care of herself. Steffy and the kids are okay.

Taylor: Ridge, I’ve been trying to call her for days.

Ridge: Me too. I just thought she was busy.

Taylor: It’s the last thing in the world that we expected, is to get a call saying she is in a treatment center.

Ridge: I just didn’t know she was struggling that much. Well, at least she– she knew that she needed help and that’s good.

Taylor: Ridge, I should have never let her go by herself.

Ridge: Don’t do that, don’t do that. Do you really think it would make a difference if it’s here or there? It’s about the void that… that finn left. And it’s gonna take a long time to fill that.

[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

Finn: Tell me you’re lying.

Sheila: I am so sorry, son.

Finn: No. No, no, no. There’s no– there’s no way–

Sheila: I wish it weren’t true, sweetheart. I know that this has got to be devastating for you to hear.

Finn: Where is my mother? What did you do to her?

Sheila: I didn’t do anything to her. Her car was sinking in the bay, finn. There was nothing I could do for her.

Finn: You’re saying that she’s really dead? You killed my mother?

Bill: You okay? Lady! Wow. You need some help.

Ridge: I thought steffy was doing okay.

Taylor: Me too. She just doesn’t want us to worry about her, so–

Ridge: I honestly had no idea it was getting so bad.

Taylor: God, ridge. She was doing all the right things. She– she was going to therapy, she has a grief counsellor.

[ Book slamming on table ]

Ridge: The whole world’s torn apart. All because of sheila.

Sheila: I can explain.

Finn: You really did it. You got rid of my mother.

Sheila: Li may be gone, but I didn’t touch her. She lost control of her suv.

Finn: Because you were hunting her down like an animal!

Sheila: I was preventing her from going to the cops.

Finn: You were protecting yourself!

Sheila: I was protecting us! You were in a bad place, finn. She needed me to help keep you alive, but she betrayed me. She said she was going to get your medicine. And I caught her trying to call the police.

Finn: Because you escaped from prison, sheila! Sheila: What about her? Hiding you. Making everyone believe you were dead. She was no saint. If only she had let us care for you together.

Finn: Oh, stop it! I don’t wanna hear anymore excuses! My mother is dead because of you!

Bill: Are you all right? It– it’s okay. It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you. What’s your name? I’m bill. Bill spencer. Are you injured? It’s okay. You don’t have to be scared. You need some help. Will you let me help you?

Taylor: So, it looks like the rehab steffy checked into has a good reputation. And they– they specialize in treating depression, which is good. I think she’s in good hands.

Ridge: I just wish we could see her.

Taylor: Yeah, so do I.

Ridge: Well, maybe, you know, just call them. Get her on the phone so we can hear her voice.

Taylor: I would like that. I really would. She– she knows that we’re thinking of her, ridge. She– she also knows we’d be there in a heartbeat if she needed us.

Ridge: I think she does need us, so let’s go. Let’s just get a plane and go.

Taylor: Well, ho– ho– hold on, ridge. I have to respect what the doctor said. Flavia. She said that steffy is in the best possible hands and she doesn’t want us coming out there in the middle of her treatment.

Ridge: But, let’s– okay. But let’s– let’s try to remember that she put herself in treatment, right?

Taylor: Yes. And, you know, the kids are there. The– the kids are there, the nanny is there. You know one thing, I– I bet it feels really good to steffy to have her kids nearby.

Finn: You’re obsessed with me.

Sheila: You are my son, finn, and I love you. I would move heaven and earth for you. You think I would do this for just anyone? Risk everything?

Finn: I hate you, sheila!

Sheila: No, you don’T. No, that is just frustration talking.

Finn: I mean it. You are nothing to me. You’re just some crazy lady that I wish I never met. I gotta get outta here. I gotta go see my family.

Sheila: No, don’t do that. You’re going to hurt yourself:

Finn: No, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me. You’re–

Sheila: You are too weak.

Finn: You are just some crazy psycho.

Sheila: No. You don’t talk to me like that. You do not talk to your mother that way.

Finn: You are not my mother. You gave birth to me, that’s it. Li is my real mother. She always has been and she always will be.

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. What happened to you? Did you get in a fight? Did somebody hit you? I think it’s best if I call an ambulance, call 9-1-1–

Li: No, no no.

Bill: Okay. Okay. Okay. Have you eaten today? Are you hungry?

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: Are– are you sick? Oh, so you’re– you’re clearly in bad shape. You’ve got to let me do something for you. Get you some food, get you cleaned up, uh. I know you’re afraid. I don’t blame ya. It’s a crazy world out there. I get afraid sometimes.

Li: He– he– help me please.

Bill: Yes.

Li: Help me, please.

Bill: Of– of course I– I’ll help you. You won’t let me call an ambulance, so uh. I’m gonna take you to my home. All right? I’ve got everything you need there. I know you’re frightened, but it’s gonna be okay. You can trust me. I promise.

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: It’s okay. Here you go. It’s okay. I’ll help you. I’ll help you. What can I du with less asthma?

Ridge: I’m trying to wrap my head around this still. I knew it was gonna be a long journey, I just was hoping that–

Taylor: I know. I know. We don’t want to see our daughter in pain, and–

Ridge: No. It’s my kid. I should be able to take her pain away. It’s my job.

Taylor: Oh, ridge. Don’t put this on yourself, okay? This is– this is steffy’s healing journey. She has to go through this.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s her healing journey, I know. But, she kept telling us she was getting better.

Taylor: Because that’s who she is. She has to be strong for everybody else. That’s what she does. But– but it’s taken a toll on her. All of this. Finn was the love of her life.

Finn: You’re a murderer.

Sheila: I didn’t kill li. She was driving too fast. She must’ve taken her eyes off the road. It was just a terrible accident.

Finn: Just like shooting me was an accident.

Sheila: Yes. Ooh. I love you, finn. All I ever wanted was to spend time with you and hayes. Why would I purposely hurt you? Think about it. Your mother, she’s a doctor. I needed li to take care of you, to bring meds for you. Yes, I– I chased her. I was trying to convince her not to turn me in, but… I never wanted to see her die. Please, you’ve got to believe me.

Finn: I will never believe a word you say again. Never.

Sheila: I won’t let you lose faith in me. I’m gonna continue to try to prove myself to you, but you just need to stay calm and patient because I don’t want to sedate you again.

Finn: Where’s steffy?

Sheila: What?

Finn: Where’s my wife?

Sheila: I already told you, she’s traveling.

Finn: So you say.

Sheila: Well, it’s true. She and the kids are out of town. I told you, they’re fine.

Finn: Are you lying to me? Did you do something to steffy?

Sheila: Steffy, do not

make that call.

[Gun firing]

Finn: Did you harm her? Answer me, sheila. Did you hurt my wife?

Bill: All right. Come on. It’s okay, come on. It’s all right. Yup. Keep going. Over to the couch. Sit down over there. There you go. It’s okay. It’s okay. Good. Good. That’s better. I’m just gonna sit here with you for a second. You okay? I know that you’re, uh, unsure about everything, but you are safe here. I– I’ve got security all over the place. There’s a staff that takes care of this entire property. No harm is gonna come to you. Certainly not from me. I just wanna provide some refuge. I wanna help you get better. And, to that end, you really need to see a doctor. Let them run some tests on you. Let me take you to the hospital. Okay?

[ Bill sighing ] Okay, okay. All right. We’ll just stay put here. Could you tell me your name? Anything about yourself? You must be hungry. Can I get you some food? At least some water? Look at me. If I could get you to trust me, just a little. Tell me who you are. Tell me what happened to you. I brought in ensure max protein

Taylor: I’ve been in denial.

Ridge: About steffy?

Taylor: Yes. I know she’s going through such a hard time knowing that– knowing that hayes will never see his father again.

Ridge: That’s the worst part. That poor little boy.

Taylor: Yeah. And steffy’s grieving, but she’s also grieving for kelly and hayes.

Ridge: Such a beautiful family they are and these beautiful kids.

Taylor: Yes, and finn, he was– he was so wonderful. He was… he brought so much to so many people’s lives.

Ridge: Especially steffy.

Taylor: The way they were together. They were so cute. The way her eyes would light up when– when she’d see him.

Ridge: Yeah. Never seen her smile so big.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Ridge: Even when he told his terrible jokes.

Taylor: Yeah, they were kind of bad sometimes, right?

Ridge: Awful. Oh, ridge, I can’t help but think what it would be like if finn was still alive. You know? For steffy, you know, the– the darkness in her heart would– would go away and her life would just light up again.

Finn: Where’s steffy?

Sheila: We’ve been over this ten times already.

Finn: No. Where is she, really? I need– I need to talk to her. She needs to see me. She needs to know that I’m alive.

[ Monitor beeping faster ]

Sheila: You need to calm down because you’re– your heart rate is going up.

Finn: You need to give me a phone.

Sheila: What?

Finn: You need to let me talk to her.

Sheila: No, not yet.

Finn: How long are you gonna make me stay here? I need to talk to– I need to talk to my family.

Sheila: No, no, no.

Finn: They need to know. Steffy is probably heartbroken.

Sheila: No, no, no. Just a few more days, that’s all, okay? Just let me nurse you back to health. Just a few more days.

Finn: This isn’t about me. This about you not going back to prison. This is about you not being behind bars. You deserve to be behind bars for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: No. You’re not listening to me, are you? Because I love you. I wanna make this up to you, finn.

Finn: Yes.

Sheila: I’m gonna make it up to you, baby.

Finn: I’ve got to make it out of here.

Sheila: No, don’t do that.

Finn: Make it up to me? You killed my mom.

Sheila: No, you’ve got to stay.

Finn: You killed my mom, so I can’t even–

Sheila: No. Stop.

Finn: You killed my mom.

Sheila: No, no, that’s not–

Finn: You killed my mom. You killed my mom!

Bill: Here’s some water for you. Can I? I’m just gonna put it right here. Okay. You’ve been through something very traumatic, that much I know, but if you won’t talk to me, I can’t help you. How did you end up in that alley? Is there anybody I can call? Any friends? Any family? Yes. You have some family? Brothers? Sisters? Do you have a husband? What about children?

Li: Yeah.

Bill: Yes? You– you have children? I– I have children. I have three boys. What about you? Do you have a daughter? Do you have a son?

[ Li whimpering ] You have a son? Yes, you have a son?

Li: Uh– uh– uh–

Bill: That’s good. That’s good. You’re trying to talk to me. That’s great. Go ahead.

Li: M– ma– ma

Bill: Yes, what is it? What are you trying to tell me?

Li: Uh– uh huh.

Bill: What is it?

[ Li stammering ] You have? You have? What?

Finn: You lied. You weren’t the one who saved me. My mother did.

Sheila: I am your mother.

Finn: Where is she? What did you do? Tell me now!

Taylor: Hey, sweetheart. It’s mom again. I’m sorry I keep calling, I know I’m being annoying, but I– I– I– I’m worried about you. And, I would like you to call me back as soon as you can. I’d love to hear your voice and I’d love to talk to my grandkids. I love you. Call me as soon as you get this. Thank you. How was surfing?

Thomas: I couldn’t get my mind of off things. I just keep thinking about steffy. Any updates?

Taylor: No. No, she’s not answering her phone.

Ridge: You guys talking about steffy?

Taylor: Yes!

Ridge: I haven’t been able to get in touch with her either.

Wyatt: Thank you for meeting me here.

Bill: Well, you said it was your new favorite seafood restaurant, so I am fishing to see if it’s true.

Wyatt: Oh wow!

Bill: That’s a pretty good dad joke.

Wyatt: Yeah. You went there.

Bill: Well, listen, it’s on the wharf so they can’t screw it up that badly.

Wyatt: Dude, you are gonna love it. Trust me.

Bill: Ah, we’ll see about that. I’m picking the next restaurant.

Wyatt: Uh. Fair enough.

Bill: You’re still free this weekend, right?

Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah. If you still are. I mean, you–

Bill: Yeah.

Wyatt: You’ve been spending a lot of time with me lately, instead of a lucky lady.

Bill: You complaining?

Wyatt: No. No, I’m really digging the father-son time. I’m curious, though. What’s going on with you and katie?

Bill: What’s going on with katie and me? Are you familiar with the term “nothing”?

Wyatt: Ah! I was afraid of that.

Bill: I see. It’s not my fault. I’m giving her the space she continues to nee, and trying not to focus on my lack of progress.

Wyatt: Good. Life’s too short to dwell on things.

Bill: Yeah. Got that right. We’ve learned that the hard way recently, didn’t we?

Wyatt: Yeah, with finn, you mean?

Bill: Yeah. Too short. Way too short.

Thomas: Look, let’s, um, let’s try not to be concerned. You know, steffy, she’s probably just dealing with the kids and she’ll call tomorrow.

Taylor: No, I– I understand, but until sheila’s caught, I feel like…

Ridge: Well, actually there’s a lead on that.

Taylor: There is?

Ridge: Yeah. Does the name guthrie ring a bell with you? Mike guthrie.

Taylor: It does.

Ridge: So, guess who was on guard when sheila escaped?

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Yes. That idiot had something to do with it.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Finn: My mother wouldn’t just save my life and hand me over to you. She’d be the one here taking care of me. So, you tell me… what did you do to her?

Sheila: Okay, so let’s start at the beginning then, shall we? I wanted to escape. Of course, I wanted to be free, but the thing that was most important to me was that I find you.

Finn: Find me? That makes no sense. You thought I was dead.

Sheila: Find where li buried you. I needed closure. I needed to know your final resting place.

Hello li. I thought that when I tracked her down, I would get some answers.

Where is my son? But, what I found was you. Not a grave. Not an urn, but you. My son, my beautiful son. Alive. (Denise) my husband has lung cancer

Bill: Talk to liam today?

Wyatt: Yeah. Actually, I’m meeting up with him later. Why?

Bill: I talked to him earlier. He still sounded pretty worried about this sheila situation.

Wyatt: Can you blame him? It’s creepy. Knowing that she’s still out there and everything. I don’t know, I’m just glad steffy got away. Not just for safety reasons, but liam seems to think that the distance will help her grieve.

Bill: Hope so, but I don’t think it’s distance. It’s time.

Wyatt: Well, she loved finn so much. I mean, how does she even begin to cope with something like that? Her husband. They father of her son, just… gone.

Taylor: This is too much! Sheila’s finally behind bars where she belongs and then all of the sudden mike guthrie comes out of nowhere.

Ridge: Oh, this is crazy. I don’T…

Thomas: So this guy, he’s like sheila’s henchman?

Ridge: That’s exactly who he is. He’s helped her before and he’s kinda, he’s helping her now. He knows where she is. He has to.

Finn: You found me, alive. My mother saved me, but that doesn’t explain where she is now. I want the truth!

Sheila: You j– you just need to know the pain that I was in when I thought that you were dead.

Finn: Because of you. Because you shot me.

Sheila: Yeah, that makes it all that more unbearable. Don’t you understand that? I fe–

[ Sheila scoffing ] The grief that I was feeling, it, yeah, it began to haunt me when I was arrested and I realized that I may spend the rest of my life in prison never having the opportunity to put flowers on your grave, or tell you how sorry I was. I wasn’t gonna let that happen. I knew that I had to escape. I had to find li, and make her take me to your final resting place.

Finn: Make her?

Sheila: Oh, god. Don’t– don’t– don’t make it sound like that. Don’t make me– I was trying to appeal to her. Mother to mother. But, when I got here, she was way off. She was just acting so cagey.

Finn: Yeah, she was probably scared to death. Seeing you, knowing you escaped.

Sheila: She was scared, she was scared, she was scared that I was gonna uncover what she was hiding. She yelled at me, she called me names, but I stood strong. I was not about to leave until I found out where you were at. And thank god I heard!

Finn: Heard?

Li: You need to leave.

Sheila: What is that sound?

Li: You need to leave now!

Sheila: Why won’t you

tell me? The equipment that was keeping you alive. And li tried to stop me. She… she wouldn’t let me by. She tried, but she couldn’T.

Get out of my way.

Li: You can’t just follow– no!

Sheila: And then, there you were. And all that pain, and grief, that I’d been feeling–

finn? Oh, god. The horror of thinking that I killed my own son. You have to understand the relief. Finding out that I didn’T. It was probably the most profound, moving moment of my entire life. Hi, I’m nancy.

Bill: What happened to finn really just drives home that life really is too short, so fleeting. Goes by way too fast.

Wyatt: Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk like this before.

Bill: Like what?

Wyatt: I don’t know?

Bill: You know what, never mind. I don’t even want to hear the answer. Whatever.

Wyatt: I was gonna say with compassion.

Bill: I just said I didn’t wanna hear the answer.

Wyatt: What are you, what are you–

Bill: You see. You see. It’s a side effect of being a father. This is what you three boys have done to me.

Wyatt: You’re welcome?

Bill: I mean, no. Not “you’re welcome.” I mean, I don’t wanna say you’ve changed me, but you– you have uh, maybe, helped me to grow a little–

Wyatt: Oh oh.

Bill: Recognize what’s important in life.

Wyatt: Just a little bit?

Bill: Yeah. Ju… just keep it up wise guy. But, you’ll find out, someday, if you are dumb enough to have your own children. Then, you’ll see they become all encompassing, and all you do is worry about them and you want to protect them.

Wyatt: Yeah, unless you’re sheila carter.

Bill: Yeah. Wish I’d been there to protect steffy and finn from that psycho.

Thomas: There’s gotta be a way for the police to get it out of him.

Ridge: Oh, I’ve got a way to get it out of him.

[ Phone ringing ]

Taylor: It’s an international number. This has got to be steffy.

Ridge: Put her on speaker.

Taylor: Yeah, of course. Hello?

Flavia: Hello? Could i please speak with taylor hayes please?

Taylor: Speaking. Who is this?

Flavia: Excuse me for disturbing you. My name is dr. Chevalier, but you can call me flavia. I am here in monaco.

Taylor: Monaco? That’s where steffy is. I– is steffy okay?

Flavia: Yes, I have news about your daughter.

Finn: I don’t care how profound it was. Or how moved you were. Tell me what happened next. What you did to my mother.

Sheila: I tried to convince li that she needed to take you back to the hospital. That what she was doing, it was way too risky. And I had just found you. Alive. I wasn’t going to lose you again, so I was determined to convince her.

Finn: Obviously, you didn’T. I’m still here.

Sheila: Yeah, but you woke up. Oh, finn–

Li: Finn.

Sheila: It meant so much to the both of us to hear your voice and see your eyes open.

Finn: My mom was here?

Sheila: Yes, son. She was. She was right here.

Finn: So why don’t I remember?

Sheila: It was hard for her to understand.

Finn: You’re not lying to me? Trying to cover up some scheme that you–

Sheila: No. Li was right here taking care of you when the hospital gave up on you, and I was so, so, so thankful for her. And thankful for the care she was giving you.

Finn: Was? Why was?

Sheila: Well, I’ll get to that.

Finn: No. Now.

Sheila:: I thought she understood how much I cared about you. She said that you were ours. Our son.

Finn: I don’t believe you. She would’ve went right to the cops.

Sheila: Oh no. Because, if she would’ve done that, she would’ve gone to prison too. She said that we could take care of you. Your two mothers. She lied to me. I trusted her and she lied to my face. Telling me that she needed to go and get you your medication and the second she walked out that door–

youu were calling the cops! She got her phone and she was calling for help. She betrayed me. I trusted her. Why would she do that? Why does this happen to me? Is there no one that I can rely on? Why? Why does everyone make me do things that I regret?

Finn: Regret? What did you do, sheila? What did you do to my mother? Kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff

Server: Here you go. Have a good night, gentlemen.

Bill: Thank you.

Wyatt: Thanks for dinner, dad. You don’t always have to get the bill.

Bill: Er, don’t make anything of it, wyatt. I, uh, I like paying. I wasn’t able to do anything for you guys when you were growing up, so it makes me feel good to do it now.

Wyatt: Well, thank you. You okay? I mean, I could hang out a little bit if you–

Bill: Oh, no, no. I’m– I’m good. I’m– yeah, I gotta– I gotta get home, too. So, thanks for suggesting this place. It wasn’t terrible.

Wyatt: Ah, come on, you loved it.

Bill: Uh…

Wyatt: All right. Well, I’ll see you at work tomorrow.

Bill: Yep. Don’t be late.

Wyatt: What? Are you serious? I will be early, just like you.

Bill: We’ll see about that.

Taylor: So, what is– what is going on? Is– is– is steffy okay? Was she in an accident?

Flavia: No, no, no, no. Um, I work for a clinic. A rehabilitation center for depression.

Taylor: Okay.

Flavia: You know that steffy has been seeing a local grief counsellor here?

Taylor: Yes, yes. Uh, dr. Rousseau.

Flavia: Yes. Um, he urged her to check in with us to receive 24 hour a day care.

Taylor: Okay. So– so what exactly is happening?

Flavia: Well, sh– she is struggling quite a bit.

Ridge: What about the kids? Ask her about the kids.

Taylor: Okay, that is– that is ridge forrester. That’s steffy’s father. We’re– we’re concerned about kelly and hayes. Where are they?

Flavia: Steffy’s with them

and the nanny. This is more like a home. It’s not a hospital. How do you say, uh, more like a resort.

Uh, so rest assured,

the kids are fine. So, is steffy. She’s receiving excellent care, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Um, well we– we would like to speak to her if that’s possible.

Flavia: Well, that’s not recommended. Not yet.

We encourage our patients

to not have any contact with anything or anyone close to the cause. Especially at the beginning stages of the rehab.

Taylor: But, uh–

Flavia: That will change as the progress continues, but rest assured, I will keep you completely updated on her progress.

Taylor: Okay. Well, if– if she– okay, yes. Thank you. Thank you for that.

Flavia: I know you are worried. Rest assured, she will get through this. She’s receiving excellent care.

Taylor: Thank you.

Flavia: Au revoir.

Thomas: So, the pain’s so bad, she has to…

Taylor: I’m glad she’s safe, but– but this is terrible.

Ridge: What’s steffy’s going through, and the whole family… is all because of sheila.

Shela: Things could’ve been so different if she would have just believed me, but no, no, she– she had to try calling the cops.

Finn: Yeah, but you, you stopped her.

Sheila: From making the call, yes, but not from leaving. Finn, she ran away. She– she took off in a car.

Finn: Then this can’t be true because she would’ve went straight to the cops and she would’ve brought ’em here.

Sheila: She didn’t make it to the cops.

Finn: How would you know?

Sheila: Because I followed her. I chased her. I saw her when she–

Finn: When what?

Sheila: She lost control of the car, and I don’t know what happened. It just exploded.

Finn: What?

Sheila: I saw her go into the water. No, I saw her sinking.

Finn: You’re– you’re saying my mother is dead? Answer me! Is my mother dead?

Sheila: Yes. Baby, I’m so sorry. Li is dead.

[ Rattling ]

Bill: Who’s there? If you’re looking for trouble, you’re about to find it.

[ Woman groaning ] What are you doing there? Is this a set-up? Do you need help?

Sheila: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. You got out of bed. I didn’t know you had the strength. How?

Finn: I have to get to steffy. I have to let my family know that I’m alive.

Sheila: This is all wonderful and good, but you’re doing too much too soon. You’ve got to take your time.

Finn: Move.

Ridge: Sheila carter was exactly where she belonged– in a prison cell behind bars. She couldn’t hurt my family, couldn’t hurt anybody. That’s justice. But now she’s running around free… because of you.

Deacon: Hey, sweetheart.

Hope: Hi.

Deacon: Are you okay?

Hope: Yeah. It’s just, um… it doesn’t get any easier, does it? I don’t think I can come into this restaurant without thinking about sheila shooting steffy and finn.

Deacon: It’s good to see you.

Hope: It’s good to see you. I’m sorry, dad. I didn’t mean to be such a downer to start.

Deaco oh, hey, hey. Listen. I get it. I mean, I have to work here, but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t come through that door and feel like I’m being smacked in the face with the weight of that shooting. You know, in the alley finding finn and steffy. Finn dead. Steffy…so damn close.

Hope: Must have been horrific for you.

Deacon: Yeah. It still haunts me. Me and everybody who loved finn. I just– so much pain and loss. You know, a good man gone. For what? For no reason. And his family’s left behind to struggle without him. And it’s all because of sheila. And there’s not a damn thing that’ll change that.

Mike: I don’t know why I’m being accused here. I was as surprised by sheila’s escape as anyone.

Ridge: And you expect us to believe that?

Baker: According to mr. And mrs. Forrester here, you and sheila were partners in crime back in the day.

Mike: I–I–

Baker: Something you neglected to mention when she was remanded into this facility.

Mike: I knew her. Everybody did. It’s not like we were joined at the hip.

Brooke: [Scoffs] That’s not how I remember it.

Ridge: Where is she? What are you doing? We don’t have to listen to your lies right now.

Brooke: Where is she, mike?

Ridge: Where is she?

Sheila: You’ve got to listen to me. Your health is my number-one priority right now. You’re jeopardizing your recovery by rushing things.

Finn: I have to get to steffy.

Sheila: Oh. I know. I know, and you will as soon as you’re physically able.

Finn: Don’t stop me.

Sheila: I’ve got to get you back in bed. Finn! Finn. (Rose h) smoking caused my lung cancer.

Hope: Being the one to find finn and steffy shot had to be traumatizing. So… please tell me you’re thinking of talking to someone.

Deacon: I am. I’m talking to you.

Hope: Dad. I mean professional help. And taylor does not count. She’s too close to the situation. Although I’m sure she could refer you to someone.

Deacon: That’s very sweet of you. That means everything to me, but I do not need a shrink. Besides, sheila’s the one who needs the professional help.

Hope: And to be behind bars. But, unfortunately, she’s out running around somewhere.

Deacon: What the hell. I mean, how do you just sail out of jail like that? Because I gotta tell you, it ain’t that easy. Trust me.

Hope: Well, apparently, she might have had help.

Deacon: Huh. Well, that doesn’t really surprise me. Sheila can be very persuasive.

Hope: Hmm. But not to you, right? You immediately saw her for what and who she is?

Deacon: Immediately? I see now. You know, it’s a little hard not to. I think I see where this is going. You wanna make sure that I haven’t been in touch with sheila and that I’m not covering for her.

Deacon: I haven’t and I’m not. Hope, I wouldn’t lie to you. Please tell me you believe me.

Baker: Have a seat, officer guthrie.

Mike: No, I’m good.

Baker: Sit down. Officer guthrie, I’m sure you can understand why emotions are running high. Steffy forrester was shot, her husband killed by sheila carter, a prisoner no longer in our custody. I’m sure you can understand why mr. And mrs. Forrester are upset.

Mike: Sure. Anyone would be.

Baker: Exactly. They’ve got a legitimate cause for concern. Sheila’s targeted the family many times over the years.

Brooke: Something you’re well aware of.

Baker: It’s not a stretch to think that she would come after them again.

Ridge: Especially now. She’s got nothing to lose.

Baker: You know how these things work. Escaped prisoners only stay free for so long. It’s only a matter of time before sheila is found, captured, and returned to custody. And anyone who abetted her will be incarcerated also.

Mike: As it should be.

Baker: Of course if that person should cooperate and help us bring sheila in, that cooperation would be taken into consideration.

Mike: I get that.

Baker: Wonderful. So I ask you, officer guthrie, did you help sheila carter escape from this prison?

Sheila: Look at what you’ve done. I told you to be still.

Finn: I–I can’T… stay here.

Sheila: You have to, baby, just a little while longer. Let me help you. Let me help you.

Finn: Don’t touch me.

Sheila: I couldn’t leave you on the floor.

Finn: I need to be with steffy. Do you wanna help me? Just let me call her and just–

Sheila: Soon, finn. Look, I can’t let you reinjure yourself.

Finn: [Moaning]

Sheila: I can’t let you set back all this amazing progress that you have made, honey. Okay, I’m not gonna let you go backwards, not after how hard I’ve worked to save you.

Finn: Look, just stay away from me.

Sheila: Why do you say that when I’m trying to help you? Please, would you just let me?

Finn: All I want is to be with steffy.

Sheila: And you will be. You will be when you’re ready. Why won’t you trust me?

Finn: Are you serious?

Sheila: I love you, finn. You’re my son. And I want is to see you happy and with your family, but you can’t force your strength back. You–you have to let that strength come back naturally. And when it does, I swear to you I will get you back to steffy.

Finn: Now, sheila. Now.

If you have this…

Finn: If you don’t know, I’m happy to tell you. This–this bond that we have, my beautiful daughter, this is the most meaningful, most important relationship in my life. I would never do anything to jeopardize that. Nothing that would… take a chance on you losing your faith in me, your trust in me. So when I tell you that I haven’t spoken to sheila, I haven’t seen sheila, I’m telling you the truth, and I hope you believe you.

Hope: I do. Absolutely.

Deacon: I mean, I get it. It makes sense to be concerned about where sheila might be, you know, what direction she might come from when we least expect it. She’s dangerous. And ridge and taylor and brooke, they’d be nuts not to be worried about the fact that she just broke out of prison. But… I do have to give credit where credit is due. She is an unbelievable con artist.

Hope: Well, so much so that they think that the guard on duty that night was the one who helped sheila break out. And you know what his name was? Mike guthrie.

Deacon: Guthrie.

Baker: In my department, we’re brothers. We support each other, even if we miscalculate, make a mistake. None of us is perfect. We all fall. But we help each other back up. If you had something to do with sheila’s escape, I’m not gonna lie. There will be a price to pay. But if you cooperate, admit what you did and help us to bring her in, I will personally see that your case benefits.

Mike: That’s stand-up of you, chief, but I didn’t do anything wrong.

Ridge: No? That’s it? That– that’s the story you’re telling? You know who I am, right? You know who she is. And we know who you are. You had past dealings with sheila. We all know about that.

Mike: I’m not denying our paths crossed from time to time. But nobody asked.

Brooke: Oh, come on, mike. You and sheila were close.

Mike: You’re exaggerating. Like I said, I knew her. Look, I was different back then. I liked to walk on the wild side. I don’t do that anymore. I’m one of the good guys now. I protect and serve.

Brooke: [Laughs]

Mike: Check my record. It’s clean.

Ridge: Guthrie! No one wants to play this game with you. No one! That bitch shot my daughter. She killed her own son. And you know more than you’re saying. You know you do. What is it? Where is sheila? Where is she?

Sheila: All right, stop.

Finn: Let me see her.

Sheila: I shouldn’t be surprised you’re so stubborn. You are your mother’s son after all.

Finn: We’re nothing alike,

you freaking psycho.

Sheila: I am so proud of you. But you can’t do this anymore. You got to be kind to your body. It’s been through… terrible trauma, and it needs…

Finn: Because you shot me.

Sheila: …My strong, beautiful son. You’ll be back to steffy in no time. As long as you don’t jeopardize your recovery. And I’m here to make sure that you don’T. I’m gonna take care of you, finn. Your mama is always gonna take care of you.

Finn: [Weakly] I just– I’m just trying to make sense of everything.

Sheila: Yeah. Of course you are.

Finn: Like, uh… like the death certificate. Was– was that real?

Sheila: It is.

Finn: How? ‘Cause if I was dead, how did you… bring me back to life? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Hope: Sheila and mike were pretty tight back in the day.

Deacon: Okay. That’s why it rings a bell. So either this guy is a bad apple who can be threatened or bought off, or maybe he’s just a dumb schmuck who’s hung up on sheila.

Hope: [Groans] Ugh! Yuck! Dad, come on. Sheila carter is a horrible person. Who would wanna be with that?

Deacon: Yes, but to a certain kind of guy, it’s like catnip.

Hope: Seriously?

Deacon: Do not underestimate sheila’s appeal. That what makes her so lethal. She’s a–an emotional chameleon. One minute she’s–she’s soft and she’s needy and she’s vulnerable. She’s all, “oh, you know, nobody understands me. I just wanna be loved.” And you wanna reach out, man. You wanna help her. You wanna take care of her. And then next thing you know, boom. She’s got a gun to your head or somebody else’S.

Hope: [Scoffs]

Deacon: All right, anyway, where are we with this guthrie guy?

Hope: [Scoffs] Brooke and ridge went with chief baker to question him, so hopefully we will find out where sheila’s hiding as we speak.

Ridge: Protecting sheila is a really bad idea, ’cause she would throw you under the bus so fast you wouldn’t know what hit you.

Mike: I told ya. I didn’t have anything to do with her getting away.

Ridge: How do you do that? How do you make everything you say sound like a lie?

Brooke: Is there somebody you love, mike?

Mike: Of course.

Brooke: What if there was a psychotic monster out there on the streets that shot your daughter, killed your wife? Would you want that person brought to justice? That’s all we want– justice for finn and for steffy.

Mike: For the last time, I don’t know where she is.

Ridge: Why do you talk to this guy? He’s a liar.

Mike: Believe what you will.

Baker: My best advice? Give sheila up. Because we will find her, guthrie. It’s only a matter of time.

Ridge: Yes, mikey. We’re gonna find her. When we do, you’re not gonna be working in this prison. You’re gonna be living here.

Finn: So, I’m considered officially, legally dead.

Sheila: Yes. The hospital gave up on you. But your mother never did.

[Monitor beeping] No, because she wouldn’T. And that’s why you are here very much alive.

Finn: So, you brought me back to this place all by yourself?

Sheila: You didn’t get here on your own.

Finn: How did you get me out of the morgue?

Sheila: You’re full of questions, aren’t you?

Finn: You had to know I would be eventually.

Sheila: Don’t worry about how I got you here. Just know that you’re recovering and you’re gonna walk right back into your old life.

Finn: Because of you.

Sheila: I’ve been taking care of you for some time, and it has been my honor and joy watching you recover under my care, ’cause I– I wouldn’t give up on you, finn. I wouldn’t do that because I love you too much.

Finn: What exactly did you do?

Sheila: What?

Finn: What steps did you take to…bring me back and to keep me alive?

Sheila: Oh, whatever– whatever is necessary.

Finn: No, I want the specifics. I’m a doctor. I wanna know. Like what– what treatments? What…procedures? What medications? Well, it can’t be that hard. You know what you did. You know what you gave me. I mean, I was– I was unconscious for a long time. How did you feed me? With an iv? Nasogastric tube? I mean, how did you know how much to give me, how many calories, how much protein, how much feed? Where did you know how to get it? You don’t even know, do you? Because you’re not a doctor. And you haven’t been a nurse for years.

Sheila: All right. Fine. I wasn’t the one that saved you, not at first.

Finn: Who? Who else got me here? Who else knows I’m alive? Look at me, sheila. Tell me. I deserve to know the truth. Tell me!

Sheila: Okay, fine. It was li, your adoptive mother.

Finn: Wait. Mom saved me?

Sheila: I am your mother.

Finn: Where’s my mom? Sheila. Where is she? Tell me. What did you do to her? Sheila, what did you do to my mom? Tell me where my mom is.

Brooke: So, did you work everything out, sweetheart?

Hope: Yeah, no, it’s fine. It’s just security trying to stop aunt donna from leaving with beth.

Liam: Oh… that’s my bad. I was supposed to call this morning and tell them the schedule and I didn’T.

Hope: No, it’s fine. It’s okay, really. I–I forgot the new gate code yesterday.

Ridge: I know all of this is a big inconvenience. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Well, it’s necessary.

Liam: Yeah, it is necessary.

[Stammers] Do the police have any…leads? Has sheila tried to contact anyone?

Ridge: Apparently not.

Hope: It’s like sheila’s disappeared. I–I just don’t understand how that can be.

[Monitor beeping]

Sheila: [Sighs] I love you so much, finn. All I have ever wanted was for you to love me back, baby. There he is. My precious boy. How you feeling? Do you want me to get you anything? Is there anything that you need?

Finn: Steffy. I need steffy.

Ridge: Baker assures me that finding sheila is his top priority.

Liam: Oh. Well, then. Good luck with that, ’cause she could be anywhere by now.

Brooke: Or she could still be in town.

Hope: Which is even scarier.

Ridge: And probably more likely because I mean, look, she could’ve left before anyone found out that she was the shooter. But now she’s got no passport, no id, no credit cards, no money. Where’s she going?

Liam: Then it’s really good that steffy and the kids are out of the country ’cause that means they’re safe.

Ridge: Yes, we–we can assume that but we– we can’t let our guard down. We’ve gotta help the police put that woman behind bars. We gotta do it, and that’s why baker’s coming over here now.

Brooke: Well, we might have information that they may need.

Liam: Information about sheila? What information?

Hope: Did she try to contact you? Did she make some sort of threat?

Brooke: No. It’s just… we may know how sheila escaped from prison.

Sheila: I know how much you miss steffy, hayes, and kelly.

Finn: They think I’m dead. I need to see my family.

[Door opens]

Mike: It’s me!

[Door closes] Everything okay? Your kid’s still in pretty bad shape. You don’t want to get him all wound up.

Sheila: I don’t need your opinions, mike.

Mike: Maybe I should’ve made yours decaf.

Sheila: I was just explaining to my son… how his family needs him to recover. You need to rest. You need to regain your strength. I’m here, let me take care of you and then you will be reunited with steffy and the kids.

Finn: Today. Today! I want to see steffy today. (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Brooke: We have to do whatever we can to bring sheila to justice.

Liam: And–and this– this clue you guys are hesitating to tell us about is gonna make that happen or…

Ridge: It’s gonna be a start for the police. They can maybe find something. Look, the longer sheila’s out there, the more dangerous she becomes to us.

Liam: Well, yeah, sure, but thankfully you have this place locked down.

Ridge: And it’s gonna stay locked down until we find her.

Brooke: And there’s not going to be anybody literally opening up doors for her. The police think this was an inside job. And I think it was an old friend who set her free.

[Knocks on door]

Ridge: That’s gotta be baker. Tell security to let him through. Hey. Come on in. Thanks for coming by.

Baker: I guess this is about sheila carter?

Ridge: Yeah, last conversation we had, um, got us thinking.

Baker: Yeah, me too. I went back over the interview transcripts, had my team go deeper into the prison personnel, especially the officer in charge when sheila escaped.

Baker: Guthrie?

Baker: That’s right. Richard michael guthrie. That name mean something to you?

Mike: Your prisoner… I mean, patient, seems a little agitated. Maybe you want to sedate him again.

Sheila: I am not holding him hostage.

Finn: Yes, you are. Look at me, I’m trapped in this bed.

Sheila: You’re injured! I’ve been treating you! Baby… I love you. And everything that I have been doing is for you.

Mike: You want him to go nighty-night?

Sheila: No. I just–I just want him to calm down.

[Sighs] Can you do that? Can you be good for mike for just a little bit so I can go jump in the shower?

Mike: Hey, sheila, I’m not a babysitter. I’m a highly trained security officer.

Sheila: Yeah, and I’m just hoping you don’t have to use any of those tactical moves while I’m gone. I won’t be gone long.

Mike: Make it quick. I gotta go to work.

Sheila: Okay.

[Sighs]

Mike: This is crazy, huh? You were a goner. But you’re back now. Look, finn… what your mother said is true.

Finn: Sheila.

Mike: She could’ve gone on the run. She–she stayed here for you.

[Shower running] She’s risking everything to be here with you. If that’s not love…

Finn: Hmm, it’s not. If she loved me, I’d be in a hospital. And my family… wouldn’t be grieving for no reason. Listen… mike… I know you’re the one who got her out of prison.

Mike: Uniform’s kind of a giveaway.

Finn: Why? Why would you do that?

Mike: It’s personal.

Finn: She got some sort of hold over you?

Mike: Sheila and i go way back. We have a lot of history. There’s just something about her. I have a weakness for sheila, always have. Got this power over me. Maybe it’s her eyes. Like a wild animal the way she looks right into you.

Finn: She’s gonna ruin your life, mike. She’s a fugitive. An escaped convict. They won’t stop until they find her. She will go back to prison. You will, too. Unless… you help me get out of here. You do the right thing before it’s too late. Cats really know how to do less

Ridge: Richard michael guthrie.

Brooke: The guard in charge when sheila escaped was mike?

Baker: His employment records at the prison say “richard.”

Ridge: Well, when he worked security at forrester, it was mike.

Hope: That mike?

Liam: I’m sorry, what are you guys talking about?

Hope: No, the one that i heard all those stories about.

Ridge: Yeah, he and sheila, they–they were like bonnie and clyde.

Liam: Does that mean they committed crimes together? Like, what–what–

Ridge: Yes!

Brooke: Yes, kidnapping, tampering with medical records, blackmail.

Liam: Oh, that’s fun.

Ridge: So how does someone like that end up working in a prison? How does that work?

Baker: We’re looking into it.

Brooke: Do you know where he is right now? Maybe he’s with sheila somewhere!

Baker: Well, at this point there’s no evidence to suggest that he had anything to do with sheila’s escape.

Ridge: No evidence? He’s her henchman! We just said that!

Baker: Right now their connection is circumstantial. We need video evidence, witnesses, something.

Ridge: So the fact that sheila escaped while guthrie was watching her, that’s just a coincidence, you believe that?

Baker: What I believe doesn’t put people in prison. Evidence does. Officer guthrie is already a person of interest in this case. He’s given the police a statement.

Brooke: But the statement you showed us was very vague.

Ridge: Yeah, he didn’t answer any questions, not at all. And now we know that he knew sheila from before. Isn’t that reason enough to call him back in?

Baker: His employment record is spotless. He hasn’t missed a day of work. He’s not behaving like a man with anything to hide.

Hope: Wait, so he might have helped sheila escape from prison, but he’s still working there?

Ridge: Is he working today?

Baker: Yeah, I checked. He’s ready to start on the next shift.

Ridge: Well, then, let’s go down there and see him. And I promise you, when he sees us, he’s gonna have a lot to say.

Mike: Sheila’s been out for a while now. Cops haven’t found her.

Finn: She will get caught, mike. And you’ll go down with her. But if you do as I say, and you listen to me, you– you could be the hero in this story.

Mike: Makes sheila the villain. Finn, sheila wasn’t trying to kill you. She didn’t kidnap you. She saved your life. I was there, I saw it. She was desperate. She would’ve done anything to bring you back.

Finn: Well, now she wants to keep me.

Mike: No! No, no. As soon as you’re better, she’s gonna let you go back to your wife and kids. You’re on your way.

Finn: And then what? Are we just gonna go on and pretend like none of this ever happened?

Mike: I don’t know. Maybe she and I’ll…take off. Hit the road together.

Finn: And that’s your plan? Go on the run with sheila? Yeah, she’s laying low for now, but a prison guard and a fugitive… on the run. You can’t hide forever. They will find you. But you can fix this. I’ll speak on your behalf. I promise. Let me go.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

Sheila: [Chuckles] What’s going on?

Mike: Nothing.

Sheila: Nothing?

Mike: I gotta to go work.

Sheila: You do that. We wouldn’t want anyone to get suspicious, would we? What was that about?

Finn: What?

Sheila: Mike. In such a hurry to rush out of here. What– what did you say to him? Are you planning something, finn? So, you’re 45.

Liam: So… what do we know about this mike guy?

Hope: Oh, well, apparently he has a history with sheila and our family. It was a long time ago and no one really talks about it but he was a guard at forrester.

Liam: Well, I mean, that makes sense. That’s a useful person for sheila to have around.

Hope: I wonder if he’s the one who let her out.

Liam: Well, if he did, he’s clearly not too bright because he’s gonna be suspect number one, right?

Hope: I don’t get why he would jeopardize his job like that.

Liam: Oh, I’m sure sheila promised him something.

Hope: Yeah, well, sheila’s full of promises, but she never keeps them.

Liam: [Chuckles]

Hope: Unless it’s for revenge, so I can see why ridge is worried.

Liam: Yeah, well, ridge is also highly motivated to get to the bottom of this thing and if… he and your mom are right, that mike guthrie is the one who helped sheila escape, then they’ve basically solved the case.

Guard: You’re late, richard.

Mike: Sorry, I got hung up checking on a friend.

Guard: Well, you have some people waiting to see you. Showed up a little while ago.

Mike: Who? Who’s waiting to see me?

Baker: Mike guthrie?

Mike: What’s going on?

Baker: I’m deputy chief baker, los angeles police. We’d like to ask you a few questions.

Mike: About what?

Ridge: About how you helped sheila carter escape.

Finn: You’re making a mistake keeping me here.

Sheila: I’m just trying to make you comfortable and nurse you back to health.

Finn: Then give me your phone. Let me call my family.

Sheila: [Chuckles] That’s what you were talking to mike about.

Finn: Yeah. Just trying to get through to him, make him see what’s really going on here. How much trouble he’s in.

Sheila: Hmm. Must not have worked or you wouldn’t be asking me for my phone.

Finn: It’s only a matter of time, sheila. The police are gonna track you down. You can’t hid me here forever.

Sheila: What are you talking about, “forever”? I’m not holding you hostage, I’m taking care of you. Are you in pain? No. You’re being fed, you’re being medicated. And if I didn’t love you so much, I would’ve run. I would’ve run so far away from here, and I never would’ve come back. But all I want, all I’ve ever wanted, is to spend time with my precious little boy that was kept away from me all those years. Is that too much to ask?

Finn: Yeah. Because I don’t want to spend another second with you. I want to go home, to steffy, to hayes, and kelly. They think I’m dead. Do you know how cruel that is? Damn it, sheila, I am not asking you! I am telling you! You need to let me go now!

Sheila: Why are you talking to me in this tone? I love you!

Finn: Then prove it! Let me talk to steffy and tell her I’m alive!

Sheila: Not yet.

Finn: Now. Now.

Sheila: No, it wouldn’t even matter. What are you– what are you doing?

Finn: I’m out of here.

Sheila: No. No.

Finn: I don’t care. I’m getting out of here.

Sheila: You can’t! You can’t do that!

Finn: …Be with my family! I don’t care if I gotta tear off every wire, or every…

Sheila: Get back in there!

Finn: I’m gonna go be with my wife and my family!

Sheila: You’re gonna hurt yourself. You don’t–

Finn: Get off me! I’m gonna see steffy! Now! I’m going to my family!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: Wow. I mean, talk about not holding back.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. The– it feels good to vent.

Deacon: Yeah. No wonder I get paid the big bucks.

Deacon: Hey listen, if anyone has a reason to unleash on sheila, it’s you. Especially after what she did steffy and her family. And especially finn. Just, you know, let it out. Get all those feelings out, taylor, I’m telling you. You’ll feel better. I promise.

Ridge: No, that’s perfect. Keep me updated.

Brooke: Taylor went into work?

Ridge: Yeah. There was uh, a security guard outside of her office.

Brooke: Even so, you can’t help but worry, right?

Ridge: No, because she’s gone through a lot of stuff… and me being here with you. I mean, I love it, but, it’s, uh, just another thing for her to adjust to.

Brooke: Okay. But she will adjust, just like I’m adjusting to having you back home.

Ridge: Yeah you’re adjusting right now, is that what you’re doing?

Hope: Oh.

Ridge: Why, why, why?

Hope: You have no idea how happy it makes me to see the two of you together like this again.

Liam: Damn, dad. You picked a hell of a restaurant.

Bill: We can go somewhere else, if it bothers you, liam.

Liam: Go somewhere else. Yeah, of course it bothers me. I mean, look– look, we’re feet away from where steffi and finn– I mean, sheila shot them right there. That’s– it’s like

Wyatt: It doesn’t even seem real. I mean, how could somebody do something like that here?

Bill: Well, this is sheila crackpot carter we’re talking about. I knew the moment she slithered back to L.A., That it was going to be trouble. I just never imagined it could be what actually happened.

Wyatt: You know what I don’t get? After everything that sheila has done, how is she still out there roaming free? Where’s the justice? Like, when– when is sheila going to get hers?

Liam: Sheila gets hers when she’s back behind bars for the rest of her stupid life.

Wyatt: And what about the cops? They don’t know where she is?

Liam: Not that I know of.

Bill: What do you know?

Liam: I know that ridge isn’t leaving anything to chance. And the guy has hired a legion of security guards to protect him and his family.

Bill: All right. Well, I got to give the dressmaker props for that. Never been a cheerleader for the guy. But I do respect his love for his family.

Hope: If I am interrupting something, which I can see that I am.

Brooke: No, honey. You are not interrupting anything. You’re always welcome here.

Ridge: Of course you are. But, uh, you know, a little bit of notice would be nice.

Hope: Oh.

Brooke: So, where are the kids?

Hope: Oh, they’re at playdates. And don’t worry, the security cars are out front watching. I’m just– trying to keep their lives as normal as possible while sheila’s still on the loose.

Ridge: Well, since you’re here, um, I don’t want to put you on the spot, but have you spoken to your dad? Does he, maybe, know where sheila is?

Deacon: Oh, come on. Don’t stop now. Vent about sheila to your heart’s content. I’m actually enjoying this.

Taylor: Yeah, I think you are. Hey, deacon. Anything that’s been said in here, just mum’s the word, okay?

Deacon: Hey, lady, what kind of practice do you think I run? Doctor patient confidentiality here. Now, come on. Seriously, I– I know I don’t have any fancy degrees in head shrinking, but I do know human nature.

Taylor: I can see that. You know, I– I know that you said that you didn’t know where sheila was, and I believe you. But if you could think of somewhere that she might be, like what do you think, deacon? Because we– we have to get her. We have to find her before she hurts more people.

[Knock at the door]

Mike: Sheila, I’m back. Okay, I did everything that you asked. Oh, my freakin’– you’ve killed your son, again? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Wyatt: So, I’m guessing you’re missing kelly like crazy?

Liam: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Separation has been tough.

Bill: But necessary.

Liam: Absolutely. Steffy and the kids, they need this time to heal. And they’re sure as hell not going to do that if they’re sticking around here, so.

Wyatt: Without the constant reminder of finn being gone, you mean?

Liam: Well, yeah, that. The sheila thing. I mean, it– it’s not like they’re going to forget finn. Steffy is going to see to that. But still.

Bill: She really loved the guy.

Liam: Still does. And she’s– she’s– it’s steffy. You know, she’s staying strong for the kids, but this loss has been– it’s been enormous for her, and it’s going to continue to be.

Hope: Are you really asking me if my dad knows where sheila is?

Ridge: Well, he spent a lot of time with her, so, yeah, I am.

Hope: Well, uh, my dad told me that he hasn’t spoken to sheila since she escaped from prison, and I believe him, but, clearly you don’T.

Ridge: I don’T. I don’t believe anything he says. I never will.

Deacon: Taylor, if I had the slightest clue where sheila was, I would tell you. She hasn’t been in touch. I’m telling the truth, taylor. I swear.

Taylor: I believe you. I do. I believe you, deacon.

Deacon: Wow, huh, it’s kind of a kick in the head. Not really used to people taking me at my word. Okay, um, how is steffy dealing with all this? I mean, I know she’s fierce like her mom, but… I mean, this has got to be a lot to deal with. You know, trying to put your life back together after something like that. Have you and ridge thought about going to visit her?

Taylor: Well, sure. I mean, we– we talked about it a few times, you know, before he moved back in–

Deacon: I’m guessing that a trip to europe right now with ridge could be a little awkward.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: Shifting gears, I’m going to put my shrink hat back on and give you a little more unsolicited advice.

Taylor: Oh god, your shrink hat.

Deacon: All right. Listen, you, uh, you urged me to talk about my feelings about brooke.

Taylor: Mm hmm.

Deacon: I would challenge you to talk about your feelings about ridge and brooke’s destiny.

Sheila: You really think I would kill my own son?

Mike: Hello? You have, almost twice now. Shooting him, then shocking him.

Sheila: He was upset, mike. I put a sedative in his I.V. To calm him down. Give me that. Did you get everything I asked for? All of the medicines?

Mike: Yeah. But I got to tell you, I– I’m really not comfortable with this whole situation.

Sheila: Oh, really? You’re uncomfortable? I’m here worried about my son. Plus, I’m probably going to go back to prison.

Mike: Well, true. But at– look at the bright side. At least you haven’t murdered anyone. Oh. Unless we include finn’s real mom.

Sheila: No I– I am finn’s real mother. And I didn’t murder li. That was an accident.

Mike: Whatever you say. But if the cops connect you to another “accident–”

Sheila: And how are they going to do that? They haven’t even found li’s body. I have scoured the internet. I have found nothing on a body or the truck.

[ Crashing ]

Sheila: I didn’t mean for li to die. So why do these things always keep happening to me? Give me your phone.

Mike: What are you doing?

Sheila: I’m calling li. – Look, this isn’t my first rodeo,

Wyatt: You expecting someone?

Bill: No. I’m just looking around to see if that ex-con is here with his mop and pail. I mean, you got to love it, right? Deacon sharpe working in a bar.

Wyatt: Well, at least he’s got a job and he’s not working one of his scams like he’s been known to do.

Bill: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Once a con man, always a con man. Remember when he told everybody he was steering clear of sheila? Well, that wasn’t true. So, who knows? Maybe he’s still connected to her.

Liam: Hmm. Not according to hope. The last time she talked to deacon, she said he seemed pretty damn disenchanted with sheila. He hadn’t heard from her, and he doesn’t expect to.

Brooke: Okay, uh, look, maybe we should just talk about something else.

Hope: No. No, it’s okay, mom. I know that ridge is just trying to look out for the people he loves.

Ridge: That’s exactly right. I mean, we can all agree that your dad’s a bit of an operator. But he told us he had nothing to do with sheila, and he was with her the whole time.

Hope: I– I don’t think it’s how you’re making it out to be. My dad has had no contact with sheila.

Ridge: And I think that’s great. And he also should have no contact with any of the people that I care about. Is it too much to ask? No.

Deacon: All right. Go time. Time to tell dr. Deacon everything about this brooke and ridge destiny thing.

Taylor: Dr. Deacon. You’re not going to stop, are you?

Deacon: Look, taylor, I will if you really want me to. I just I– seriously, for a second. I– I really feel like you’ve got something that’s bottled up inside of you. Something that you haven’t said and that you’ve kept for a long time. And it’s been gnawing at you. And if that’s the case, now’s the time to get it out. I mean, come on. You can’t beat my price. All right, look, I get it, you know? I mean. Why would you want to open up to a guy like me? Guy who has got my history. I– I don’t blame you.

Taylor: No, deacon, it’s not that. It’s– it’s– you know, just when I think about– brooke and ridge, and their destiny. It’s hard for me to even say it without laughing, almost, because, I don’t know. Maybe they’re meant to be together forever. Maybe– maybe, they’re going to be destiny for eternity. But maybe, just maybe this bridge they’re building is– is burning to the ground day by day. Because the woman who claims she wants to save it, won’t stop playing with the matches.

Deacon: Boom! Look at that. Wow. Tell me how you really feel, doctor.

Mike: You’re calling a dead woman’s phone? You’re losing it, sheila. Dearly departed don’t usually answer their phones.

Sheila: It went to voicemail.

Mike: What’d you expect, the real thing?

Sheila: Shut up!

Mike: I’m just saying.

Sheila: I just don’t want to hear it. Do you know the pressure that I’m under? And– and when finn wakes up–

[ Finn moans ]

Mike: He’s coming, to.

Sheila: Ah. I see that.

Mike: So, what’s the plan, sheila? I sprung you from prison. What are you going to do with finn?

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Man, I just want this to be over. I want sheila to be caught. I want her to be locked up. So that when steffy and the kids do come home, they– sheila’s not a threat to them. You know, steffy needs to start rebuilding her life. As difficult as that will be without finn.

Deacon: So vat I’m

he-yar-ring, in my professional opinion, is that you and zis brooke logan will neverrr be bffs.

Taylor: Never, never. But gosh, deacon, it– it really has been nice to commiserate with someone about brooke and ridge and all that.

Deacon: Feels good to be able to open up and just talk to somebody, yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Deacon: You know, uh, sheila and I were, I guess, on some level, friends, and, what with her being a murdering psychopath and all, I don’t have any other friends right now except you. And, um, you know, I don’t know– I don’t have the fancy degree, but I’ve got a pretty sturdy shoulder. If you ever need to lean on it, I’ll show up for you.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. I appreciate that. Honestly, right now, all I can focus on is my daughter and my grandkids. And what sheila did to take finn away from them.

Ridge: I’m sorry. It’s been a long couple of months, and, uh, I’m frustrated. I don’t need to let that out on you. I apologize.

Hope: Thank you, for that.

Brooke: Yeah, well, we’re all a little bit on edge, and we just need to relax. I know it’s still an eerie feeling knowing that sheila’s out there somewhere, waiting, biding her time.

Hope: But what could she be plotting for?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, that’s the scary thing. We don’t know what’s going on in her twisted mind, what she’s going to come up with next.

Hope: Well, she would have a death wish. Trying to come after you or taylor. And ridge had made sure of that with all the security he’s hired.

Brooke: Well, that’s true. And I really appreciate what you’ve done, ridge. You have really given me peace of mind, and taylor too.

Ridge: I think sheila has caused enough pain, we all agree on that, right? Done with it. She’s not going to hurt anyone in my family ever again.

Sheila: What’s the plan, mike? What’s the plan?

Mike: Yeah. Look at him. He’s waking up. He’s going to be all over your case for shooting him full of sedatives.

Sheila: I didn’t shoot him full of sedatives. I gave finn something to keep him from getting more upset.

Mike: Sheila, he’s upset because you’re keeping him from his wife and child.

Sheila: I’m– I’m protecting him. My son’s happiness means everything to me. And that’s what he’s going to have once I reunite him with steffy and hayes. He’s gonna be so happy, mike. He is going to forget all about this.

Mike: That’s real noble. But you’re still headed right back to prison.

Sheila: Maybe that’s where I belong.

Mike: And what about me? I’m going to prison, too. I’m an accomplice in this now. Sheila, look, I get that you gave birth to him. But it’s not like you are a mother to him. Not like you raised him all those years. Be smart. Cut your losses. You got a lot of life to live. And we could be real good together. You and me.

Sheila: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting that I run away with you, and leave my son to die?

Mike: I’m suggesting that finn already has a death certificate. Maybe it’s best to just let it be.

[ Finn internally panting ]

Finn: I got to get out of here before it’s too late. I have to get to steffy.
