Hope: Please tell me you support me in this.

Liam: In allowing deacon back into your life.

[Stammers]

Hope: He’s my father. Liam, I am firm on this decision. I really am. Please tell me you understand.

Ridge: Well, are we doing this? We’re going down to the cabin? It’s why we came home, right?

Brooke: Uh, now that i think about it, let’s just, uh…let’s not barge in there, okay? Let’s just… wait and see if liam can get through to her.

Ridge: He will. But how does this happen? How–how does–does hope let deacon back into her life? And how do we not do everything in our power to stop it?

Finn: Change your mind?

Steffy: About?

Finn: Lunch. I want to treat my gorgeous wife.

Steffy: Oh, I would love that… but I should get back to this meeting with thomas. Plus we’re at a really good place right now.

Finn: Ah, I don’t know how you could possibly sit in a meeting knowing your poor husband’s gonna be sitting there all alone, eating in a corner.

Steffy: Uh, something tells me you’re gonna be just fine.

Finn: Okay. But I was thinking we could go to il giardino. I mean, I’m in the neighborhood. Okay. I’ll be lonely.

Steffy: My extrovert husband? You’re gonna be chatting someone up the moment you open that menu.

[Indistinct chatter]

Sheila: Well, what is it? You’re all cleaned up. Why did you want to see me?

Steffy: Save me a bite of that tiramisu?

Finn: Who says I’ll order dessert?

Steffy: You always do.

Finn: Dang, this woman’s been paying attention.

Steffy: You got that right. Nothing goes unnoticed. Including all the sacrifices you’ve been making. I know you wanted to get to know your birth mother. But I’m really appreciative that you’re taking my warnings about her seriously.

Finn: I-I do. It’s nice to hear, though. It isn’t always easy, but I understand why you want me to stay away from her. The thing is, I might not be able to have a relationship with my birth mother, but at least I got to meet her. All those years of wondering, now I know what she looks like, and…

Steffy: Yeah, and now you have, you know, answers to questions you’ve had your– your whole life.

Finn: Some answers. I’d like to find out who my biological father is as well.

Sheila: If you’re here to threaten me, or order me to leave town, it’s–

Jack: I’m here to thank you.

Sheila: Thank me?

Jack: Yeah. For keeping our secret.

Brooke: Ridge, you know I tried, right? Hope is a grown woman. I can’t just forbid her from seeing her father, or having a relationship with him.

Ridge: I know she’s a grown woman, I know she’s not a child anymore but there are children involved, innocent children. They shouldn’t have to deal with deacon just because you… just because your daughter has a bit of a daddy issue. You know I’m right. And liam, he sees things the way I do and I think he’ll figure this out.

Brooke: Okay, yeah, I hope he does. But what if he doesn’t? What then? I mean, what if they can’t come to an agreement? What’s going to happen to their marriage?

Liam: Hope, I mean… w-what you’re asking right now–

Hope: Liam, I understand if you have conflicting feelings. You want to be the loving, protective husband and father and I appreciate that about you, but…I know what I’m doing. And I want to give my father this chance. I want him to be in my life.

Liam: It’s not just your life. It’s our life. It’s our family’s life. I brought in ensure max protein,

Steffy: Finn, I understand you wanting to know more about your father, but I don’t think going to sheila is a good idea.

Finn: No, I’m not, I’m not. I don’t know, it just… makes me wonder. I mean, does he even know about me? Did he give me up too? Is he just as bad?

Steffy: As sheila? I don’t think that’s possible. She probably took advantage of him just like she did my… grandfather.

Thomas: Oh. What the hell did quinn do now?

Steffy: [Chuckles] We’re actually talking about sheila.

Thomas: Well, I can come back if y’all need a minute.

Finn: No, no. I know you two have a meeting, and I have a sad and lonely meal to get to.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. Baby, if you want to know more about your birth father, we can hire someone and we can do some more digging, okay?

Finn: All right, let me think about that.

Steffy: Over your sad, lonely meal?

Finn: Exactly.

Steffy: Bye. Love you.

Finn: Bye bye.

Ridge: Liam is very protective of his family. He’d never let anything happen to hope or his kids. Hope knows that.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I guess the question is… after all these years, is deacon really that harmful? We may think he is, but if hope doesn’t, she’s gonna fight for a place for him in her family.

Ridge: Hmm. That seems pretty selfish, if you ask me. Where does that leave you? You need to understand something. I’m-I’m so happy that hope is here. I love that girl. But that doesn’t mean that we need to take a trip down memory lane with deacon. Some people, some things… need to stay in the past. Where they belong.

Liam: Okay, okay, look. I get you wanting a connection with your own father. I– I get that more than most people, right? Because I’ve lived it. I mean, meeting my dad, having a relationship with my dad, that–that– it changed my whole life.

Hope: And yet you want to stop me from changing mine.

Liam: Okay, but that– that’s the thing, right? That’s the big question. Because in my case, it changed my life for the better. It gave me opportunities I never could’ve dreamed of. It gave me you. But what does being deacon sharpe’s daughter give you? Other than heartache?

Hope: Don’t I deserve a chance to find out? To find out who the man behind the letters really is?

Liam: They’re just letters. Anyone can say anything they want in a letter, hope. I mean, he-he could’ve been in prison the whole time stringing–okay. Okay. Our life is so good right now. It’s so good. I mean, you, me, and beth, and douglas, it’s great. And you–you want to bring deacon in on that, knowing his past, knowing how much he has hurt all the people that you love. And I’m just–I’m just asking you, are you sure that is the best thing for you right now? Are you sure that is the best thing for our family right now?

Steffy: You’ll follow up with the paris office?

Thomas: Yeah, uh, it’s– well, it’s too late to call, but I’ll send them an email.

Steffy: Wow, this went by pretty quick.

Thomas: Oh, then you still have time.

Steffy: Time for what?

Thomas: To catch up with finn? Don’t let that poor guy eat alone.

Sheila: Well, this is a– a pleasant change. A little appreciation instead of what I’m used to, you attacking me.

Jack: I realize I didn’t react particularly well when finn met you. But I think you can understand. If anyone found out I was his biological father…

Sheila: Yeah, li probably wouldn’t take that too well, would she? ‘Cause not only did you have an affair, but you conned her into adopting your biological son.

Jack: Let’s not call it a con. I took a difficult situation…

Waiter: Of course.

[Cell phone rings]

Finn: Oh, I gotta…

Jack: What is it?

Sheila: He’s here. Finn’s here.

Jack: He can’t see us together.

Sheila: No? Well, then maybe you should go someplace, because I’m gonna go say hello.

Finn: Okay. Well, we can up the dosage. Yeah. That should be fine.

Sheila: Hello, son.

Brushing only reaches

25% of your mouth.

Hope: What if I do think it’s best? Shouldn’t you trust my instincts about my own father?

Liam: Right, but–but your instincts are to always see the good in people. And that’s something I so admire, but in this case, it’s deacon, and I’m not– I can’t just pretend I’m not concerned about what this could do to our–our life and our family and our kids. What–what message it sends, to beth and douglas when, you know, eventually, one day, they’re gonna see you and you’re gonna be in pain over something that deacon did because you decided to let him in.

Hope: [Scoffs]

Liam: ‘Cause that’s probably what’s gonna happen.

Hope: So what are you saying? You refuse to accept my decision?

Steffy: I don’t know, with everything on my list? I should really just go to the commissary and eat at my desk.

Thomas: Steffy, come on. Look, I know that you’re– you’re swamped. You got a lot of work. But how often do you and finn actually get, like, time together? Between your schedule and his, and the two kids needing all of your attention? I’m not saying I’m a relationship expert. I’m obviously not. But I do know that if your husband is having a meal by himself, and you have the opportunity to go meet up with him… you probably should.

Finn: Hey. Uh… how are you?

Sheila: I’m great. As a matter of fact, this day just got a whole lot better.

Waiter: Excuse me? Your table’s ready.

Finn: All right, cool.

Waiter: I will be right back to get your order.

Finn: Okay, thanks. Look, sheila… I don’t want to be rude, but what are you doing here?

Sheila: Uh, same as you. I was just getting ready to have lunch. You probably think that I’m– I’m stalking you, but this is just a coincidence, I swear, and… a lovely one at that. Don’t worry. I, uh… I just wanted to say hello. I’ll be out of sight before steffy arrives. I assume you are meeting her.

Finn: Uh, no, actually. I’m, uh…[Clears throat] I’m solo.

Sheila: Oh! [Chuckles] Well, uh, you don’t have to be. May I join you? There’s no reason for us both to be eating alone, finn. I mean, even if it’s a quick conversation, if that’s all you’re willing to give me. Please? Finn, just let me sit, okay? Even if it’s just for a while. I’m your mother. I miss you so much. They’re finally where they want to be. Yeah. It’s gonna be okay. ‘Cause I don’t care how badly hope wants deacon in her life or how badly liam wants him out of it, in the end, the two of them, they will figure it out. They’ll be united. And they’re not gonna let deacon get in the way of their relationship.

Hope: Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this.

Liam: Well…

[Chuckles] I mean, we kinda have to, don’t we? ‘Cause…

Hope: No, I mean right now. Because I-I need to get to work, and I don’t want us obsessing about this throughout the day, and I’d rather just focus on us. And think about what… everything we have to be grateful for, all our blessings, this life, our family, and… if we do that, it will work out.

Steffy: I don’t normally say this, but I think you might be right.

Thomas: Rare, I know, but it happens.

Steffy: I should probably reschedule the publicity meeting for tomorrow.

Thomas: Or… you just let me handle it. Come on, you and your husband deserve some downtime. Go ahead. Surprise him.

Sheila: I’d love a chance to catch up. I mean, maybe see a recent picture of hayes. I’m not above begging, if that’s what it’ll take.

Finn: Just for a minute.

Sheila: Thank you. Oh, you have no idea how much this means to me. How are you, finn? I mean, how’s work?

Finn: Good. Busy.

Waiter: Everything okay, sir?

Jack: Great.

Sheila: I am so impressed with the man that you’ve become. I guess that means that I– I actually made the right choice. As painful as it was giving you up, I’m not so sure that you would have had all of those opportunities under my care. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. Have to let go of the regret.

Finn: So you regret it? Giving me up for adoption?

Sheila: Oh, my god, yes. Yes. Dammit, I just–I really wish that I could’ve raised you.

Finn: And why didn’t you? Was it because of my biological father? I mean, I know I haven’t asked you about him, but, I don’t know, you might not be ready to tell me about him, but I am curious. Did you love him? Did he love you? Look, I’ve spent my whole life wondering about him the same way that I’ve been wondering about you, even though you aren’t exact– look, I’d– I don’t want you to take this the wrong way. You aren’t exactly the woman that I imagined, right? But it’s been really good… for me… to know your voice and to have a name and if I could have the name of my father and maybe even meet him… unless, I mean, I– I already have? Were you lying the other day, when hope and I saw you and deacon kissing? Look, I know you’ve said that you had just started seeing each other, but the way that you looked at him… is there more to that relationship than… you’re letting on? Please. Look at me. Tell me. You can tell me. Is deacon sharpe my father?

Sheila: What? No. No, no.

Finn: You’re not…

Sheila: I swear.

Finn: Well, then, who? You don’t know what it’s like living a life with so much uncertainty and having all these questions. And I finally, finally know about you and I’m thankful for that. But I’m ready for more. The full story. So, please… just tell me who my father is. I want the truth.

Ridge: How’s it feel?

Petra: Like a dream.

Ridge: You didn’t have to do that. You can be honest with me.

Petra: I am.

Ridge: Something about the back. What about the shoulder?

Petra: You’re right. It tugs a little.

Ridge: Yeah, now I can see that. All right, I’ll look at it. And, um, we’ll do this again, all right, petra?

Petra: That’s okay.

Ridge: Thank you.

Steffy: Ooh, you look beautiful.

Petra: Thank you.

Steffy: You weren’t at that very long. No changes?

Ridge: Nah, I’M… still not there yet. It’s not gonna happen today.

Steffy: Not feeling it?

Ridge: Just can’t concentrate.

Steffy: Ah, you’re not the only one. What is hope thinking? Inviting deacon into her life?

Ridge: Her lowlife father’s doing everything to get back with her. And it’s working.

Brooke: I know you have to get to the office, honey, and so do I, but I thought we could talk first.

Hope: Sure.

Brooke: It’s about the situation with deacon. I thought since you had a chance to sleep on it, that maybe–

Hope: I haven’t changed my mind.

Brooke: Honey…

Hope: I want a relationship with my father.

Brooke: Look, I know how charming and convincing he can be. And he said things that moved you, and it was meant to move you.

Hope: Mom, I am not being manipulated. My dad loves me, and we’re family, and I want him to be a part of my life, and, you know, if the two of you, if you can’t support that, then maybe it is best for liam and me and the kids to just move out…

Brooke: Honey, no. I don’t want that.

Hope: Well, I don’t want that either, but I also don’t want to live somewhere where my father isn’t even welcome.

Brooke: What does liam say about this?

Hope: He’s away on a business trip, but he should be back sometime today.

Brooke: So he doesn’t even know about your decision?

Hope: Not yet, but he understands what deacon means to me.

Brooke: Honey, yes, of course he’s going to be supportive, because it’s gonna bring up a lot of concerns.

Ridge: Hope has completely bought into deacon’s act. She’s always welcome and her home is his home.

Steffy: Her home is your home. Brooke has to do something.

Ridge: Do what? She doesn’t want to push her daughter away.

Steffy: I get that hope feels like, a connection to deacon, but this isn’t about her. She needs to think about the kids.

Ridge: Yeah. If she can’t, then we will.

[Knocks] Justin, come on in.

Justin: You wanted to see me.

Ridge: Yeah, I have another job for you. I need you to keep an eye on somebody.

Brooke: The last thing I want is for deacon to come between you and liam.

Hope: Well, dad doesn’t want that, either. He doesn’t want to cause any problems for…for you, for me, for anyone. He just wants to get to know me. And I want to get to know him, and…liam won’t stand in the way of that.

Brooke: Because liam loves you. Your wellbeing is paramount, honey.

Hope: Well, isn’t–

[Door opens]

Liam: Oh, cool. Thought you might have left for work.

Hope: Look who’s home!

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Hi!

Liam: Hey! Missed you.

Hope: [Kiss] I missed you!

Liam: Yeah. It’s funny how, like, one night can just feel like…eons, you know? Not doing bedtime and dinner and reading the kids stories.

Hope: Oh, well, apparently, uh, my story voice isn’t as funny as yours.

Liam: [Scoffs] Obviously.

Hope: [Laughs]

Liam: No, so I’m gonna make it up to them. I’m gonna–I’ll read ’em two stories tonight, or five, or ten.

Brooke: Yeah, you should do that. You just shut the door and all huddle up together. Just the four of you.

Liam: That’s not a bad idea. So, tell me, what’d I miss?

Tide pods ultra oxi

Justin: Can’t imagine hope putting her kids in a bad situation.

Ridge: That’s deacon. Brings out the best in everybody.

Steffy: I always felt safe sending kelly to stay with hope and liam at the cabin. But I don’t want to do that knowing that deacon could show up.

Ridge: No, you can’T. And you also don’t know what he’s feeding sheila about what the kids are doing, their schedules, all that stuff.

Steffy: Oh, my god, I hadn’t even thought about that.

Hope: Well, neither has hope.& She’s not thinking about anything but getting her dad back into her life. That’s all she’s thinking about. And I feel for her, I do. I… [Sighs] I know deacon leaving when she was a kid had a big impact on her. I was there. I just–I don’t want her to get hurt. I don’t want anyone to get hurt.

Justin: Hey, that guy’s bad news. He’s trying to worm his way back into hope’s life. What does that have to do with sheila? When did those two get hooked up?

Steffy: While he was in prison. I guess they were pen pals or something.

Ridge: Or “something.”

Steffy: Hope says that they’re in a relationship.

Justin: A couple?

Steffy: That’s what they want their children to believe.

Justin: Oh, talk about a coincidence, huh?

Ridge: You’re too smart to buy any of this.

Steffy: Hope’s a smart woman. That’s why this is so frustrating. I thought we were all on the same page. But here she is, inviting deacon back into her home, making a place for him in her life.

Justin: Okay. I’ll do some snooping around, see what I can dig up.

Ridge: Thank you.

Justin: Yes, sir.

Ridge: Let me know if you find something.

Justin: Will do.

Steffy: We have to do more than just keep an eye out on deacon. At least finn realizes how poisonous sheila is. Hope has known that about deacon forever, and every time he worms his way back into her life, it ends badly. This isn’t gonna be any different. Only now, we have children, and we need to protect them. To think that hope’s even considering giving deacon access. I can’t even imagine what liam’s thinking right now. He must be going crazy.

Liam: Well, yesterday must’ve been pretty uneventful. Normally I’m getting text updates from you by the hour.

Hope: Well, I just figured we could discuss it once you got home.

Liam: Discuss it? Discuss what? Okay, guys, I can see the look on your faces. Discuss what? Is this–is it the kids? Did something happen?

Brooke: No.

Hope: No, they’re fine. They’re excited to see you.

Brooke: It’s like you said. One night could seem like an awful long time. A lot can change.

Liam: [Chuckles nervously] Okay, but if it’s not the kids, what changed?

Hope: Uh, I made up my mind. It’s something I’ve been thinking over, last night I finally made a decision. But this is a discussion that you and I should have, so mom…do you mind if liam and I can have some alone time?

Ridge: [Scoffs] Yeah. Just promise me something. You will listen to liam’s concerns.

Hope: We’ll be fine.

Liam: So I’m gonna have concerns.

Hope: You will. At first. Liam, I know this is going to impact our family, and we will have a lot of details to work out, but I need you first to listen to me, and to respect my feelings on this.

Liam: Yeah, okay, what– what feelings, hope? Just say it. Just say it, already.

Hope: Well, you know this is something that I have, uh… wanted for a very long time. Although there were moments where I thought it would never happen, so I told myself to forget about it completely, and yet… I think deep down I… I’ve held onto hope. This is about my dad. This is about deacon, and making him a part of my life. Once upon a time there was a reindeer named tiptoe

Steffy: Liam doesn’t want deacon around his family.

Ridge: He has to convince hope of that.

Steffy: I thought he had. What about brooke? She can’t want deacon near hope and the kids.

Ridge: I don’t want that weasel anywhere near brooke. ‘Cause all he does, his being here is just–reminds everyone of…the biggest betrayal she ever made.

Steffy: Hope isn’t sensitive to that?

Ridge: She just sees her dad, you know, that he’s trying, and he’s making amends, and… wants to be with his little girl. We can all trust him now.

Steffy: Uh, no.

Ridge: Not for one second.

Steffy: This is crazy. How can hope have more faith in deacon than the people who truly care about her?

Ridge: She’ll give him a chance… open arms and eyes wide shut.

[Door opens] Hey.

Brooke: Hey.

Ridge: I was hoping you’d get here soon. Hi.

Brooke: Yeah, hi. I just wanted to talk to hope before work.

Steffy: Please tell me she’s changed her mind, she doesn’t want deacon in her life.

Brooke: No. [Sighs] I thought maybe if she had a chance to sleep on it, but…

Steffy: We can’t let this happen.

Hope: She’s a grown woman. I can’t force her not to see her father.

Steffy: This decision affects all of us.

Ridge: It’s already taken a toll on you, you know that.

Brooke: Yeah, I know, ridge. But I am not gonna draw a line in the sand at the risk of deacon coming between me and yet another daughter.

Steffy: You can’t just throw your hands up, either.

Ridge: We know what he’s capable of, the kind of destruction he can cause.

Brooke: I explained all that to hope. I warned her over and over again, but she’s determined to believe that he’s changed.

Steffy: Hello? His involvement with sheila?

Brooke: That’s over. Or so he says. He doesn’t want to mess this up. He’s determined to gain hope’s trust.

Steffy: That is exactly why hope can’t trust deacon. If you can’t convince her of it, there’s one more person who can get through to her. It’s liam. He can talk her out of this insanity. He has to.

Hope: Liam, I can tell you’re already worried, but please just–just listen to me.

Liam: I-I’m listening. I’M…[Sighs] I always listen. I always listen. It’s just… okay. Okay. So you want deacon back in your life.

Hope: Yes. He’s my father.

Liam: Well, he’s also a criminal, and people typically don’t want criminals around their families…

Hope: He would never hurt anybody.

Liam: Isn’t that all he’s ever done?

Hope: In the past. But he regrets it.

Liam: Hope, just… [Laughs] Just because somebody says they’re reformed doesn’t mean they’re reformed, and this is deacon we’re talking about.

Hope: No, I know, I… I had my doubts, too, but then as I was writing to him while he was in prison, I saw another side to him, liam. Yes, he has committed crimes. But he’s also paid the price, he has done the time, and it has helped him realize what is important. He wants to– to better himself, and he wants to turn his life around.

Liam: You’re his daughter. I-I completely get you wanting to believe that.

Hope: I do believe it.

Liam: Mmm…

Hope: I do. Because I hear the things that he says to me, I see the way he looks at me, and he looks at me the way a father should look at his daughter. The same way you look at beth. With love. And I want him in my life, and I know…he wants to be a part of mine, too.

Liam: Okay, but, hope–

Hope: Liam, please. I understand that you’re worried about how this is going to affect our family, and how it’s going to impact the kids, but believe me when I say I would not let my dad anywhere near our children if I thought he was a threat, but he isn’T. He loves them. He’s gotten to know all about them through my letters, and he’s been looking forward to the day when he can finally meet them in person. He wants to be a grandfather to beth and douglas and… I want that, too. (Kids chatter)

Steffy: Liam won’t go along with this.

Brooke: I warned hope he might not.

Steffy: What did liam say? How did he react?

Brooke: He just got home from an overnight business trip, so they’re discussing the situation right now.

Steffy: You’re saying hope made this decision without liam?

Brooke: Well, inviting deacon into her life is quite personal for her, so…

Ridge: But it’s not just her life, is it? It’s not personal to her. It’s all of us. She’s thrown this guy into all our faces, and you really think liam’s gonna be okay with that?

Steffy: No, he won’T.

Brooke: Well, I know. That’s what worries me.

Steffy: Liam’s not the kind of guy to tell her what to do, but right now, he needs to. It’s really important.

Brooke: She’s gotta know she’s making a mistake, right? She must understand what she’s putting at risk.

Steffy: Yeah, she needs to step outside of herself and realize that this could damage her marriage, endanger her children.

Brooke: [Sighs] She’s not gonna put beth and douglas in harm’s way. She loves those kids too much. That’s not what I’m worried about. My concern is hope and liam. I mean, this could really cause problems for them if she’s that determined to have her father in her life.

Liam: Wow. I… [Sighs] I mean… you seem really determined to do this.

Hope: I am. And I know we usually make family decisions together, but…this… impacts me differently. This… this is my dad.

Liam: It’s just–okay. You–you wanting deacon to have a place in your life… that’s one thing, right? But–but all this talk now about him being a grandfather to the kids…

Hope: Well, he is their grandfather.

Liam: They don’t even know him.

Hope: Exactly. And now they finally have a chance to. And look, I understand that my father has done things that he is not proud of, but so has yours. And yet we let bill around the kids. I am just asking to give my dad that same opportunity.

Liam: [Chuckles] Nobody is more generous or forgiving than you. But balance, right? You have to exercise some skepticism, too.

Hope: I’m well aware of what my dad has done. But I believe that he has changed, liam, I do. And I know you haven’t had the chance to see that yet, but I have. And we know what it’s like, making mistakes. Wanting to make up for them. And we’ve allowed that of each other. I mean, we’re all about second chances. Look at your dad. His latest stunt landed the two of you in jail, and yet, he’s still around.

Liam: [Sighs] That’s actually fair.

Hope: I’m just saying, I–I believe that deacon has changed, and I am certain of it. Otherwise, this conversation wouldn’t even be happening. I wouldn’t have told mom that I’m willing to move out of her just so I can–

Liam: Wait, wait. M-move out of here?

Hope: They won’t even allow deacon to be on the property, so what other choice do I have, liam? They’re making it impossible for me to have a relationship with my own father.

Liam: I don’t even know what to say here. Um…

Hope: Please say that you understand. Please. Liam… I understand the risks. I know my dad’s history, and I know that I might be the one getting hurt in the end. But my dad wants to make a positive change in his life and he wants to be on the right track, and we can help him do that. I-I really believe if he has the stability and the support that that can really make a difference.

Liam: Look at me. It is not your job to rehabilitate him.

Hope: I am his daughter. Liam… I love you, and I do not want this to come between us. I love you, I love our family, I love our life here. BuT… I really do believe… if we could just give him a chance, if deacon knew that he had a family who believes in him and supports him… just say you’ll give him that. Just say that… deacon can be a part of our family.

Hope: He’s my father. I should go after him.

Ridge: He’s a father who’s let you down time and time again. You invite him back into your life, he’s gonna keep doing it.

Brooke: Ridge, maybe we should just leave this for now.

Hope: No, mom, I am not letting this go. Dad came over here, and he poured his heart out like he has never done before, and I know what he has done in the past, but I care about who he is now, what kind of man he is right now! And I believe him when he says that he is committed to being a father worthy of his daughter’s love, and you may not believe him. But no one is going to tell me whether or not I can have my dad in my life, and that includes you, ridge.Ea

[Knock on door]

Sheila: [Sighs] I thought you didn’t want anything more to do with me. What do you want?

Deacon: Can I come in? Thanks.

Sheila: Let me guess. You went to see hope, and… brooke and your daughter shot you down.

Deacon: No. That bastard ridge did.

Steffy: Really impressive, james. This is the kind of unconventional marketing forrester needs, not just typical magazines and press. Well done.

James: Seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up.

Paris: Yeah, every platform is blowing up with this.

James: Thanks. Well, I’ll let you guys get back to it. Oh, hey, we missed you and zende at happy hour. Hope we’ll see you guys there next week.

Paris: Yeah, I’m down.

James: Sounds good. See you guys later.

Steffy: Bye.

Paris: Bye.

[Door closes]

Steffy: Kelly and hayes miss you.

Paris: Like I said, I miss them, especially kelly’s hugs,& but I’ll come by soon.

Steffy: I know you’re busy with the whole forrester foundation and hope for the future, zende’s scholarship fund. You’re also dating him, but did I hear you’re living with thomas? How’s that going?

Zende: Whoa! Give a guy a warning next time, okay?

Thomas: What?

Zende: You, standing there, half-naked. It might be a turn-on for the ladies, but cover up, G.

Thomas: I was working out, and, uh, charlie came into the locker room, told me to leave ’cause of something like maintenance or whatever, so…

Zende: You were, um, looking at pictures of paris. There’s no one quite like her, is there?

Thomas: No. No, there isn’T.

Steffy: Come on. My brother? He is a mess. He leaves his clothes everywhere. Must drive you crazy.

Paris: Actually, no. He goes out of his way to clean up after himself.

Steffy: Thomas? You’re kidding.

Paris: Of course, we’re so busy, we don’t see that much of each other, but…

Steffy: It’s probably for the best.

Paris: But when we are there together, we get along great. Oh! And added bonus, I’ve gotten to hang out a little bit with your nephew douglas, and he’s such a great little guy.

Steffy: I agree.

Paris: I know thomas has done some questionable things in the past, including with my sister, but there’s no doubt that your brother is a caring and loving father.

Zende: I’ve never known anyone like her– the way she lives her life, the things she values, how she inspires, always wanting to make the world a better place. Totally lives by her principles, you know? Not to mention, she’s so damn beautiful. I’m so blessed, man, having her in my life.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah, you are.

Deacon: But it wasn’t& all bad. All right, so I show up, and I took brooke completely by surprise. Ridge wasn’t there yet. But here’s the thing. I got to talk to hope. I am completely convinced that my daughter wants me to be in her life.

Sheila: But brooke– brooke doesn’T. She went into mama bear mode, came down on you about the misery that you’ve inflicted and how she doesn’t want hope to go through anything like that again.

Deacon: No, she wasn’t happy to see me. I mean, she’s still wary. But I am convinced that she can get to a place of acceptance if it wasn’t for ridge.

Ridge: I’m sorry. I don’t wanna disrespect you or–or you, but I think your emotions are clouding your judgment. Your father’s done nothing but bring heartache to you and your mother, disappointment after disappointment, and to–to bring that back into your life just doesn’t make sense to me.

Brooke: Okay, ridge, I think we need to–

Ridge: And it’s not just you anymore, is it? It’s your kids. You don’t wanna subject ’em to somebody like deacon.

Hope: Subject them? I would never put my children in harm’s way.

Ridge: I-I know that! So good. You–you realize that you can’t have deacon around the house. You just can’T.

Hope: But when has deacon ever endangered a child, ridge? I realize that my father has made mistakes, but I also realize that he has paid the price for them and that he wants to move on from that, and I don’t believe that he’s being insincere. I don’t believe he has ill intentions, so whatever your concerns may be, ridge, while I may understand them, I do not share them, and it is not your decision to make. My dad is going to be a part of my life and my family’s life whether you approve or not. I wish we had a sled as fast as cricket 5g.

Steffy: So douglas asked you if you’re his dad’s girlfriend.

Paris: Yeah. But when you think about it, it makes sense why he might wonder.

Steffy: How’d you handle that?

Paris: Thomas and I made it very clear that we are not girlfriend and boyfriend… or we thought we did.

[Laughs] And then douglas asked if I was gonna live with them when his dad found his new house.

Steffy: Sounds like someone has a crush on you.

Sheila: But you said ridge wasn’t there when you arrived.

Deacon: Yeah, thankfully. Brooke was, but then hope showed up. She wound up in my arms, telling me that she needed me, that she needed me. She needed her dad, and then she told brooke. She said for everyone to just quit driving me away.

Sheila: God. If I could just get finn to say something like that to steffy about me.

Deacon: I mean, it was unbelievable to hear hope say that. No one has ever defended me like that before. Then, of course, ridge showed up and tried to throw me out like a piece of trash.

Sheila: But I told you they would defend us. You could’ve used that to your advantage.

Deacon: I know I could’ve, but I didn’t want to. I didn’t wanna…

Sheila: All right, so what? So you let ridge win?

Deacon: Yeah, but, sheila, don’t you get it? I love both of them too much to cause them any more pain.

Sheila: But–but both of them? Are you–what… look, I understand that you’re a loving father trying to reconnect with his daughter, but… this thing with brooke is a fantasy. You know that, right? Right?

Brooke: I think you should think about this just a little bit.

Hope: Mom, I have thought about it a lot, and I trust my instincts, and it feels right. It feels right to have my dad be a part of my life right now.

Ridge: And how do you think liam’s gonna feel about that?

Hope: Well, I understand my husband’s concerns. He loves me, and he trusts me, and he will respect this decision.

Ridge: Yeah, and I’m sure your kids are gonna love this terrible decision, too.

Hope: Are you questioning me as a mother? My children mean everything to me, and I will always take care of them, and you should know that! You both should know that.

Brooke: Of course we both know that. Just, ridge was expressing his feelings.

Hope: You know what? No. I am, um, I’m through explaining myself and defending my decision. If you can’t be supportive of what I am doing, then I think it is best for liam and the kids and me to move out of the cabin.

Brooke: Ridge, if you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to hope alone.

Ridge: Don’t do this.

Brooke: [Sighs]

[Door closes]

Hope: Mom, please understand that I am not trying to give you an ultimatum, but I am serious. If you can’t be supportive of me wanting my dad to have a place in my life, then I think it’s best for us to go.

Don’t stop me, don’t stop me

Zende: So how’s the house hunting going? Any closer to finding something?

Thomas: Eh, not really. My realtor’s on it, but nothing exciting’s turned up so far.

Zende: Well, light a fire under him, will you? I mean, the sooner you find a house, the sooner I get to have this sexy lady all to myself.

Steffy: Oh! Perfect timing. I wanna go over these budget revisions with you.

Ridge: Can we do it some other time, please?

Steffy: What is going on?

Ridge: After everything this guy has done to her, how do you–I don’T…

Steffy: What guy? What are you talking about?-

Ridge: Deacon! He’s playing hope again. I can see it. You can see it. Everybody can see it. Why can’t she see?

Hope: This isn’t just about me and my wishes. I also don’t wanna create any problems for you and ridge, so maybe it is best if liam and the kids and me move out.

Brooke: Hope, no, I-I don’t want that. I love having you and the grandchildren.

Hope: And I love it, too, but I am not going to do battle over my own father. I’m certainly not going to be constantly told by ridge or anyone else whether or not I can even see him.

Brooke: Okay. I understand that. I do. But–

Hope: No “but”s, mom! You heard deacon. He just wants to love me and be a part of my life. Why is that such a bad thing?

Brooke: Sweetheart…

Hope: I should’ve gone after him. I shouldn’t have let ridge just run him off like that!

Brooke: You listen to me. Ridge was just trying to protect—

Hope: I don’t need protection from my own father!

[Crying] Mom, you saw what happened. Dad left willingly, even though he wanted to stay, and he did that because he didn’t wanna cause you or me any more pain. He has changed, that if he can just have one more chance, maybe… we all–we all get so many second chances in this life. Don’t I owe my dad one? So… [Sniffles] I have to do this, and I need to do this, even if I get hurt in the end.

[Cries]

[Cellphone ringing]

Deacon: [Whispers] It’s hope! Shh, shh.

[Cellphone beeps]

[Normal voice] Hey, sweetheart. Is everything okay?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Um…I’m sorry for what happened at the house before. Can you–can you please come back?

Deacon: Uh, are– are you sure? I don’t wanna cause any more problems.

Hope: I’m positive.

Deacon: Okay. I’ll–I’ll leave right now.

[Cellphone beeps]

Sheila: What, hope wants to see you?

Deacon: I have no idea what the hell this is about, but I can spend some time with my daughter. See ya.

[Door opens]

Hope: Mom… I know what I’m doing. We always talk about being one big loving family. Well, that includes my father, too. On the outside, I looked fine.

Paris: What did I just walk in on?

Zende: I was just saying how I couldn’t wait to have you all to myself.

Thomas: Yeah, zende wants me to light a fire under my realtor’s butt, stat. But he may have to fend off another suitor first.

Zende: Wait, what?

Thomas: My son. He’s really taken to paris.

Paris: The feeling’s mutual. Douglas is a very special little boy. Takes after his father.

Ridge: Ah, no, I don’t know about that guy. I mean, how many times does he have to let hope down before she realizes that is who he is, who he’s always gonna be? It’s not gonna change. It’s not, and, uh, I get it. It’s her dad, and she wants to see some–some great things in him. She wants to have faith in him. But how can you with his track record? And now you’re gonna allow him to see the kids?

Steffy: What?

Ridge: Oh, yeah, yeah. Not just about deacon anymore. She wants him to be part of the kids’ life.

Steffy: You can’t be serious.

Ridge: I am.

Steffy: Hope can’t be serious. Why would she do such a thing?

Brooke: Sweetheart, I know how much you want this, and I also know why you took such a hard line with ridge. But you have to understand ridge raised you. He was there for you when deacon wasn’T.

[Knock on door]

Hope: That must be him. That’s dad. Hi. Thanks for coming.

Deacon: Thanks for inviting me, especially after what happened earlier. Um…is ridge here?

Hope: No.

Deacon: Is he coming back? Because if he’s just gonna blow another gasket…

Brooke: No. No. That’s not gonna happen.

Deacon: Are you okay with me being here?

Hope: Uh, mom and I had a long talk, and she knows I don’t want you going anywhere. Like I said, it’s actually nice having the three of us together as a family.

Deacon: I feel the same way. I just–I don’t think brooke does.

Hope: Well, she has every right to be guarded.

Deacon: Yeah.

Hope: While the two of you may have shared some special times, there were some painful times as well. But I am trying to focus on the present and focus on my family, and that not only includes liam and the kids, it includes you and mom as well. You know, I want this to be a positive time in our life for us to try to get along and move forward, and I know– I know that ridge isn’t there yet. Hopefully with time, he will be, but whether he is or not, he’s not going to tell me what to do because I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m a grown woman, and I make my own decisions. And I believe you when you say that you regret not being a part of my life all those years, and I believe you’re being earnest when you say that you want a relationship with me now. And as my father, you will always be welcome as long as I’m living here on the property.

Brooke: Honey, I don’t want you to leave here. Your children and you belong here.

Deacon: Wait a second. You’re thinking of leaving brooke’s house for me?

Hope: Yes. Yes, if I have to. I’m not going to justify allowing you into my life to anyone. Dad, when you say that you want to prove that you’re a changed man, in my heart of hearts, I believe that. And I can see that you wanna be a good father, and I can see that you wanna be a good grandfather.

[Crying] And I want you and mom to be a part of beth and douglas’ life. I want them to grow up knowing both of their grandparents.

[Whispers] You’re my dad.

[Normal voice] I love you, and my home is your home.

Deacon: Um… do you feel the same way? Can you accept me?

Brooke: I really don’t think that ridge is going to agree with this, but, um… I have to support my daughter’s wishes.

Hope: This is a fresh start! A chance for us to put the past behind us and to try to start fresh as a family again. Welcome home, dad. Home. [Laughs]

Ridge: Enough of this. Let’s go.

Hope: Ridge, stop. Mom, make him stop. This is my dad we’re talking about.

Brooke: Ridge, ait. Just wait a minute. Let’s all calm down here. We can talk about this reasonably.

Ridge: What are you doing? Talk about what? Are you defending this guy after everything he’s done? Really?

Katie: It is so easy to make me the scapegoat, to blame us logans for all of your problems.

Quinn: Well, every time I turn around, there you are. Carter and I were just having a private conversation.

Katie: Yeah, I heard. I mean, does it ever get old, this whole “evil logan sisters” narrative?

Quinn: I don’t think the truth ever gets old. But, I mean, I’m not going to apologize for what I was saying. I am kind of sick of it. You know? You show up at my house anytime of the day or night. Brooke’s always yapping in eric’s ear, and your sister, donna, is, well, obviously being extremely inappropriate with my husband.

Katie: My sister, donna, was a very good friend to eric. I mean, we all have been.

Quinn: You have a very interesting idea of friendship.

Katie: I could say the same thing about your idea of fidelity.

Quinn: [ Sighs ] See, my life is none of your business. You and your sisters, you need to back off. Stop interfering in my marriage.

Paris: What is that?

Douglas: That’s the earth’s atmosphere, and this is the rocket entering space. That’s me and daddy.

Paris: Oh! So cool.

Thomas: Yeah, douglas is really into space technology these days.

Paris: Wow. So you’re hoping to be an astronaut when you grow up?

Douglas: Mm-hmm. And a soccer coach.

Paris: Well, what if you could be a soccer coach in space?

Douglas: Whoa! That’d be awesome.

Thomas: All right, bud. It’s time. You have some homework to finish.

Paris: Ah. Homework, huh?

Thomas: Yeah.

Douglas: We’re learning multiplication.

Thomas: Yeah. If you have any questions, ask paris, ’cause she’s a lot smarter than I am.

Douglas: Okay, daddy.

Thomas: No, that– that was actually– never mind. [ Clears throat ]

Paris: Oh, he’s adorable.

Thomas: Well, you are pretty great with him. Thanks for being so– just amazing.

Paris: Are you kidding? This is my element. Being around douglas is so fun.

Thomas: Well, it seems to go both ways. He seems to like you very much.

Katie: Oh, my god. Could you please take some accountability for once in your life?

Quinn: I have. I have apologized to eric a million times.

[ Laughs ] And he’s decided to stick with me and, thank goodness, not allow you and your sisters to do any more damage.

Katie: Why do you keep putting the responsibility on me and my sisters? Do you think that if we weren’t around, all of your struggles would just magically disappear? Let me give you a little reality check. You interfered in your marriage all on your own.

Quinn: Oh, okay. Now you’re referring to me and carter, right? Well– I mean, I’ve already taken my shot, so go ahead. I mean, lay into him. Carter can take it.

Hope: He doesn’t deserve to be kicked out.

Ridge: I’m trying to protect you and your mother.

Hope: I don’t want him to go, not like this.

Ridge: I can’t have him around here, around the people that I care about. And I’m sure your mother agrees.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: What are you doing? Really. Have you forgotten everything this guy’s done to you?

Brooke: No. Of course I haven’t forgotten. But hope wants him to stay, and he’s her father. There’s nothing we can do to change that. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Quinn: Have at it, katie. I mean, un–unleash your fury. Carter can take it, can’t he? I mean, we’ve heard the worst, haven’t we?

Carter: Yes, I’ve been quite surprised by some of the conversations I’ve had recently.

Katie: Yeah, I bet.

Carter: Go ahead, katie. You can say whatever you want.

Quinn: Wait. No, you gotta buckle up first because, you know, the logans, they have never learned how to play fair.

Katie: I’m sorry. Were you playing fair when you threatened donna? When you got eric to fire her?

Quinn: After what she pulled with my husband? Yeah, I think she deserved it. Wha– oh, I think you were hoping that maybe eric fired both me and carter so you’d never have to see either of us here ever again? It’s amazing that you logans think that you can stand in judgment of anyone.

Katie: I think carter knows how I feel. And I also know that he wanted a future with you that he was willing to give up everything for you, and you turned him down.

Quinn: To stay with my husband and fight for our future.

Katie: Then why are you here?

Quinn: [ Laughs ] I work here.

Katie: No, no, no. Why are you here in this office reminding carter about how you wanted a future with him? I mean, have you reconsidered? Are you leaving your husband for carter?

Brooke: Ridge, I know how you feel about him.

Ridge: How I feel about him. It’s how we feel about him, right? No?

Brooke: Okay, look, I understand that you’re concerned. I do. It’s just… [ Sighs ] We need to just calm down for a moment.

Ridge: Why?

Brooke: For hope’s sake.

Ridge: Everything I’m doing is for hope’s sake and for yours. I can’t have this criminal in our house.

Deacon: Look, I paid my debt to society. I did my time.

Ridge: Why is he speaking? Why?

Brooke: Ridge, we need to consider what hope wants.

Deacon: Look, I get that you and I have bad history, all right? You’ve got no reason to trust me. I respect that. But I’m not here to cause any problems to my daughter or your family.

Ridge: I’ve heard all this before. I didn’t buy it then. I’m not buying it now.

Hope: Ridge, let him talk and explain himself.

Deacon: Please, all right? I’m not the same guy you knew before. I’ve changed.

Ridge: How have you changed? How? You’re hanging out with sheila, right? That’s birds of a feather.

Deacon: No. No. That’s over. I’m not associating with her anymore.

Ridge: She dumped you? Oh, man. That’s gotta be a low point even for someone like you. I’m so sorry.

Deacon: Okay. I’m gonna try this again. No. I realized how risky it was. I realized it was just gonna make it more difficult for me to have a relationship with hope.

Deacon: That’s all I want. I just want a chance to be a father to my daughter.

Hope: Can we at least let him try? Is that really so much to ask?

Paris: You are douglas’s hero, and that’s very clear.

Thomas: And he’s mine. And he’s the toughest, most resilient person I know. And he inspires me every day to keep working on myself and making myself better and also focusing on what’s truly important in life.

Paris: Kids will do that, won’t they?

Thomas: That’s why I want him to look up to me, you know? That’s what keeps me working and trying to be the best version of myself so I can give him what he deserves.

Paris: You’re already doing it, thomas. I mean, hope’s been a godsend, a wonderful addition to douglas’s whole world. But you got to give yourself some credit. You’re an amazing parent.

Thomas: That means a lot, coming from someone as, uh, kind and compassionate as you. You– you’re kind of like hope in that way. Hey, bud, did you finish your homework?

Douglas: Yep.

Paris: Wow. That was fast.

Thomas: Right? Okay, do you have any questions?

Douglas: I only have one question.

Thomas: Okay.

Douglas: It’s for paris.

Thomas: Okay.

Paris: For me? All right. Shoot.

Douglas: Are you my daddy’s girlfriend? Serena: It’s my 3:10

Douglas: I like you, paris.

Paris: Well, that’s good because I like you, too.

Douglas: I’m so glad you’re my daddy’s girlfriend.

Paris: [ Laughs ] Oh, douglas. I am not your dad’s girlfriend.

Douglas: You aren’t?

Paris: No.

Douglas: Well, you live here together.

Thomas: Yeah. We’re just, uh– we’re just roommates, bud. Just two friends living together.

Paris: Remember when your dad almost bought a new house?

Thomas: Right. The one in the canyon that we were really excited about? Well, that’s when paris moved in here.

Paris: And when that deal fell through, I insisted that your dad keep living here.

Thomas: She was kind enough to let me stay.

Paris: So here we are. Just… friends staying in the same place until your dad finds a new house.

Thomas: Yeah. Just for the time being. Just a short-term kind of thing.

Paris: Does that make sense?

Thomas: All right. Now that that’s all cleared up, do you have any questions about your homework?

Douglas: Nope. I aced it.

Paris: Ooh! You aced it.

Thomas: Of course he did. Your teacher’s gonna be very proud.

Paris: I am very impressed.

Douglas: Paris.

Paris: Yeah.

Douglas: When daddy buys the new house, will you be moving in with us, too?

Quinn: Am I going back to carter?

Katie: It’s a simple question.

Quinn: Well, you would like that, wouldn’t you? I mean, if I–if I left eric, then you and brooke could just pave the way to install donna in my place.

Katie: You know, I have no control over what eric does or doesn’t do. Believe it or not, my sisters and i just want him to be happy.

Quinn: You would have a field day, wouldn’t you? Wait. No. I just wanna know what would be the first thing that you guys would do. Would you–would you throw all of my clothes in the pool? No, you would take my portrait off the wall. You would douse it in lighter fluid, and then– and then you guys could have a big bonfire on the tennis court.

Katie: Maybe we could roast marshmallows. I mean, seriously, quinn, don’t give me any ideas.

Quinn: Well, I wouldn’t put anything past you.

Katie: And for the record, you have no right to harass eric about who he sees and who he doesn’t see, especially if you’re here contemplating running away with carter.

Quinn: Oh, that’s right. That’s right. I never answered your question. You wanted to know if I was resuming my relationship with carter.

Katie: Yep. That’s what I wanna know.

Quinn: No.

Katie: No. Wow. That’s blunt. I mean, he’s standing right here. I mean, don’t you think it’s a little insensitive to talk that way in front of him? I mean, especially since he wanted a future with you and everything that the two of you have shared and the fact that he still has feelings for you?

Hope: Ridge, I’m not naive. I understand both of your concerns.

Ridge: Maybe you don’T. Your mom and I, we have a lot of history with this, uh, gentleman over here. And maybe you don’t grasp all of it.

Hope: No, I get that there are a lot of complicated dynamics at play, and there’s a lot of hurt and anger on all sides. And I hear you. I really do. I respect your feelings about this, ridge, but that is your perspective. Okay, I don’t share it.

Brooke: Hope’s never been able to form her own thoughts or opinions about her father. It’s only what we told her.

Ridge: I’m sorry. This is not my perspective. We gave you the facts of what happened.

Hope: And I am not questioning them. I’m not even denying them. My dad has let me down. I know that. But I believe that he has changed. And this is about me having an opportunity to really have a relationship with my dad.

Ridge: And what about liam? He’s okay with this?

Hope: At the end of the day, it is my decision to make.

Ridge: I see. And what about the children?

Deacon: Come on, man. You’re talking about my grandkids. Do you really think that I would do anything to hurt them?

Ridge: This is our job to protect those little kids from guys like that and from sheila. Can we do that? Can we make it about the children?

Hope: I do. I always put my children first.

Ridge: That makes me very happy. ‘Cause that means you’re not buying this changed-man routine that he’s selling right now. And neither are you. So, please, tell him to get out and never come back.

Start your day with crest 3d

Douglas: I hope you live with us when daddy buys the big house. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of room.

Paris: Douglas, you’re the sweetest. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.

Thomas: But this is paris’s home. She just moved in.

Paris: Yeah, this is where I’m gonna live from now on. Maybe you could, uh, help me hang up some pictures.

Douglas: Even after daddy moves out?

Paris: That’s the plan. But it doesn’t mean we can’t still hang out.

Douglas: Really?

Paris: Of course. You’re my dude.

Thomas: And, uh, well, when we move into our new place, we can just have her over& for a swim.

Paris: Oh, wow. A swim. So that means your next place is gonna have a pool.

Douglas: Dad promised.

Thomas: Yes. Whatever the king wants, my liege.

Paris: Well, that sounds like a blast. Count me in. But until you find you fabulous new digs, you can come chill here whenever you want. It’s your home, too. How does that sound? Cool?

Douglas: Cool.

Paris: All right. Can I get a high five? Oh, yeah! Can I get a fist bump? And a hug? Oh! He gives the sweetest squeezes.

Quinn: You’re actually defending carter.

Carter: I don’t need defending.

Katie: No, you don’T. And I will never condone the two of you having an affair. But I know you. You’re good, and you’re a decent man.

Quinn: Oh, so– so carter gets cut some slack, but when it comes to me, I’m completely irredeemable.

Katie: Well, if the shoe fits.

Quinn: Wow. Talk about a double standard.

Katie: Oh, come on, quinn. You were clearly the instigator, because you need so much attention, and, unfortunately, carter was there and got caught up in you. And hopefully, that will never happen again. Because he deserves a woman who puts him first.

Deacon: I didn’t come here to complicate things. It’s the last thing I wanna do. I just wanted to make amends but not at the expense of causing any more problems for you, and not if it means causing problems for ridge and your mom.

Ridge: And you would like that, wouldn’t you?

Deacon: You know, man, you’re right. The old me probably would’ve. I would’ve used that to my advantage, but I’m not about that anymore. I’m willing to leave here whether than cause any more pain, any more hurt.

Hope: Dad, please, we still have so much to– I don’t want you to go.

Deacon: You have no idea what it means to me to hear you say that. Just knowing that you believe in me, that gives me the strength to believe in myself. Hope, I love you so much. I’m gonna miss you. I’ll be thinking about you, rooting for you, and missing those grandkids.

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: No, it’s okay. I am so proud of the woman that you’ve become. Your grit. Your grace. Your decency. I love you. Brooke, you did this. You…

[ Laughs ] You built her up into this amazing human being. You picked up the slack, and you did it beautifully. And for that, I’ll always be in your debt.

Ridge: That’s it? All right. Great speech. Thanks for coming by.

Hope: Dad, you don’t have to do this.

Deacon: This is the best thing I can do right now. But I’m always gonna be with you. You and I are connected now forever. There’s a little piece of you in my heart, and I’m in your heart. Okay?

Brooke: Honey–

Hope: No. No.

Deacon: You have no idea what it means holding you like this.

Hope: Well, I missed you while you’re away. I didn’t want to, but I did it, and that’s why I started writing you back.

Deacon: Those letters saved me.

Hope: Oh, you have a lot of time to make up for. Please, mom. Don’t shut the door on him. Give him another chance. Let us have a chance to be a real father and daughter again.

Ridge: Brooke is never going to open a door to deacon ever again. God, after all that guy’s done to her. Pain and the misery he’s caused. She’d be so happy she’d never look at him again.

Liam: Yeah, well, unfortunately, deacon’s the kind of guy… the minute you think he’s gone for good, back he comes.

Ridge: And there’s always something, right? It’s either bad luck or he’s misunderstood. Now he’s coming back because he really, really wants to be hope’s daddy. He wants to show her that he’s a decent person. Brooke knows exactly who he is, and she’s going to do everything in her power to keep him away from hope.

Katie: Thank you.

Donna: Thank you.

Donna: Eric, is a kind and compassionate man. And the two of you have a long and loving history together. I just can’t believe he would walk away from all that.

Katie: He was honoring quinn’s wishes.

Katie: I’m so sorry.

Donna: I can’t pretend like it doesn’t hurt.

Katie: No, of course it does. Things have been so good between you two lately, and brooke and I were all but convinced that you would find your way back to each other. I just cannot believe that eric let quinn bully him into cutting out of his life.

Carter: Well, james, from a legal standpoint, it’s very low risk.

James: Good. I think it’s going to be hot like a cookout. It’ll go viral for sure.

Carter: You don’t want to miss the window.

James: Exactly. Looking back saying it’s the one that got away.

Carter: Yeah, that’s an awful feeling. Looks safe, man. Just run it by ridge.

James: Thank you, carter.

Carter: One that got away.

Carter: Our life together is

out there, okay, we just have t

go out and we have to grab it.

So what do you say?

Quinn: I can’T.

I just can’T.

Carter: If you’re looking for eric…

Quinn: I found what I’m looking for.

Katie: Eric should have taken a stand with quinn. I mean, it is ridiculous to allow her to dictate who can be a part of his life and who can’T. And for the record, you have been a part of his, long before quinn showed up. He should have defended that.

Donna: It’s not on eric, okay? He’s loyal to his wife because that’s the kind of man he is. And quinn knew that, and she used it against me. This is all on quinn.

Carter: What can I do for you, quinn?

Quinn: Maybe try not to hate me. Though I wouldn’t blame you if you did.

Carter: I don’t even know how.

Quinn: You brought me back to life, carter. You gave me your love. Just… the most incredible gift. And I’m so sorry that I broke your heart.

Ridge: As long as carter signed off on it, I guess… go for it, james.

James: Will do. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Liam: All good.

Ridge: Cool– are you guys done because it’s gonna be outdated by the time you get there. Go! Good luck. I like that guy. Yeah, see, and that’s a good idea, right? And that’s what we should be doing work on the company instead of this mess.

Liam: Can I ask you a question? [Sighs] I’ve heard some of the stories about brooke and deacon, not all of them. Is this as scandalous as everybody’s making it out to be?

Ridge: That wasn’t brooke’s finest hour. Having an affair with her daughter’s husband, then bearing his child.

Liam: On the other hand, if it weren’t for brooke and deacon, we wouldn’t have hope. And that’s not a world I want to live in.

Hope: I realize that your history with dad is complicated, painful, even. But like I said, you must have loved him at some point, right? For your love to have created me. Right, mom?

Align. Fast acting biotic

gummies

Donna: It’s just going to be so strange, you know, being out of the loop, not seeing my sisters every day, [Indistinct] And eric. Can’t even interact with him.

Katie: I just can’t believe that you’re being pushed out of forrester, all because quinn is so insecure.

Donna: Yeah, but incident in question did happen there.

Katie: Well, you and eric didn’t plan it that way, and you shouldn’t be punished for it. In fact, quinn should be thanking you.

Donna: Yeah.

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: She should be thanking me.

Katie: She knows the condition isn’t permanent. I just cannot believe the audacity of that woman demanding that eric cut you out of his life after she had an affair with carter.

Carter: It’s no reason to apologize. We didn’t work out. It happens.

Quinn: You asked me to run away with you. You were ready to commit to a life with me. But I chose to stay with eric.

Carter: He’s your husband.

Quinn: But I never meant to hurt you.

Carter: I know.

Quinn: You weren’t just some fling to me, carter. I hope you know that. Just because I chose to stay with my husband doesn’T… doesn’t negate the love that we felt for each other.

Ridge: The only good thing deacon ever brought into this world is hope. That doesn’t mean it gets to be part of her life.

[Sighs] Liam, I could tell you stories about this guy. Brooke and I were here raising hope he was off, wherever he was drinking, whatever they would put in front of him. You can’t underestimate the guy because he’s got something, I don’t know what it is, some kind of charm that people like. We got to make sure that hope doesn’t get swept up in that. He’s gonna try to make her believe that he’s a good person. He’s not.

Liam: Yeah, I hear you.

Ridge: Good because you’re her husband, you have to be– what do they call it? You have to be the last line of defense? That clown, he’s going to come, and he’s going to try and play the father card, and it shouldn’t even have that in his wallet, right?

Liam: Well, I’ll tell you what, I’m going to protect my wife… …whatever it takes.

Brooke: Of course there were feelings, honey. However misguided. But I never would have gotten involved with deacon otherwise. We hurt people… and I will never forgive myself for that. I have a lot of regrets. But… never regret that you gave me our beautiful daughter.

Deacon: You did good, brooke. I mean, hope is the best part of both of us, what little best you can find in me.

[Sighs] I love you both. I know that I’ve given you cause to lose faith, and I’m not proud of that. I’m sorry. I’m ready to make up for what I did wrong to be worthy of hope’s love, her trust. And I don’t expect you to believe me. I get that that’s a privilege. But I want to earn it. I intend on it. I just need you to let me in enough, just a little bit so I can love our daughter.

Man: Thank you very much. Have a wonderful day.

Donna: And thank you, katie.

Katie: Of course.

Donna: You know, we’ve known carter a long time and I mean, not that we know everything about him, but I get a sense of who he is. He seems loyal and dependable–

Katie: And hot and really, really hot.

Donna: Yeah, and hot. I’ll give you that, my goodness. Okay! But the point is not a million years would I put him with quinn. And he wanted a future with her.

Katie: I guess they’re just an unlikely couple. Kind of like bill and me.

Donna: Yeah. What’s the story with you and bill anyway?

Katie: I don’t know. I wish I did. I guess I’m still just so disillusioned by what happened. He was so reckless with our lives and with our family. I mean, how can I trust him to be a good father to our son when he just continuously makes just terrible choices. And as far as his commitment to me, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to trust it. I mean, he called brooke the love of his life. What am I supposed to do with that? I’ll always be wary. Don’t get me wrong, I am not stuck in the past. Quite the opposite. I’m looking forward to a better and brighter future with a man who loves me and only me.

Quinn: I’ve never experienced anything like our connection. It wasn’t just… physical.

Carter: You know, the pull between us, it was… …it was powerful. And I deeply regret betraying eric, but I was ready to throw away a life I spent years building to be with you. Walk away from people who became like family to me, quinn. I wanted to grow that connection that brought us together into a future, but… …you made the right decision, choosing eric. Doesn’t change the fact that once again, I came second.

Ridge: Whatever it takes. I like that. So we’re in agreement when it comes to deacon?

Liam: Absolutely.

Ridge: Good. We’ll work together, we’ll keep him away from broken and hope..

Brooke: Well, you say you won’t disappoint, deacon. Right? But somehow you always manage to. And I’m not talking about myself so much because I set my expectations low. Talking about our daughter, you’ve disappointed her over and over again.

Deacon: I’m ashamed of that.

Hope: Well, I got to say that learning you and sheila are together, it doesn’t exactly put my mind at ease.

Deacon: We’re not.

Hope: What I thought the two of you were in a “relationship”?

Deacon: That is over, and I don’t want to spend any time talking about sheila. I want to talk about this. I want to talk about this unit right here. Now we’re not traditional by any stretch of the imagination, but we have two parents. We’ve got a child, and, well, that makes us family. And nothing can ever change that. Brooke, I’m not trying to put you on the spot, I’m not trying to con you or guilt trip you. I just want you to know what’s in my heart. And that’s love for our daughter. Please don’t judge me from my past. I spent a lot of time in my head when I was locked up, thinking about the man that I was thinking about things that I’d done, and also thinking about everything I missed out on. And the most important thing was a relationship with our daughter.

Hope: I want to give him this opportunity, mom. I want my father back in my life. See you later teeth stains.

Carter: I hope you don’t think I’m feeling sorry for myself. My eyes were wide open when we got involved. I knew you were married, and not just to any guy. You were… you’re mrs. Eric forrester. Eric’s love gives you a sense of self-worth and value, and I was naive to think you’d give that up to be with me.

Quinn: [Sighs] But I don’t want you to ever question what we shared. It was real, carter, it was as real as it gets. We told each other I love you!

Carter: And I meant it. I was ready to get rid of everything that mattered to me in L.A. To be with you, quinn. I would have cherished you.

Quinn: But I had to stay with my husband.

Carter: I know. So how are you? Um… I heard you guys were still facing challenges.

[Sighs]

Quinn: Where’d you hear that? Wait, let me guess brooke or katie or donna, or all of the above? Telling you, eric and I would be a lot less challenged if those logan women would just stay out of our lives.

Katie: My sisters and I have loved and cared for eric long before you came along. So, yeah, we’re going to be looking out for him, whether you like it or not. And here’s a tip: If you really want us to back off, you should stop giving us reasons to be concerned about him. If that’s even possible.

Hope: This moment means so much to me being able to stand here with both my parents. And I know it’s a rarity, but, mom, it doesn’t have to be. Like dad said, we’re family, and that will never change no matter how strange we’ve been in the past, what mistakes we might have made.

Deacon: I know I’ve made a lot. I was never around when I should have been in. And, look, most of the time when I was, I had an ulterior motive.

Brooke: Well, how do we know that it’s going to be different this time?

Deacon: Um… the context, I guess. I just got out of prison. Prison changes everyone. It changes you for the better or for the worse, but it changes you. I decided that I was going to change for the better, and in order to do that, it takes two things. The first is it takes getting honest. That means you have to reflect. The second is figuring out what’s important, and what’s important to me is this right here. This and the thought of having a chance to get out and do things better. You know, being in there just… just being still, it gave me the perspective I needed to commit to being the kind of father that’s worthy of his daughter. I will never let you down again, either one of you. Brooke, please, just… …give me this opportunity to be a father, to be a grandfather, maybe even a friend. But most of all, I need this opportunity to prove to myself that I’m worth a damn.

[Sighs] Look, I, uh… I just need you to let me in. I’ll do the rest.

Hope: Mom, please. He’s just asking for a chance to be the father I’ve always wanted, and how will we know it’s even possible if we don’t even try?

Brooke: And what if he hurts you again?

Hope: Then so be it. But what if he doesn’t?

Ridge: What is he doing here?

Hope: It’s okay, ridge.

Ridge: It’s not okay. Get out–

Deacon: Hang on a second–

[Talking over each other]

Brooke: Wait! Leave him alone.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I think the mission will love these donations.

Brooke: Oh, good. Anything to help.

Hope: Okay, so wait, let me get this straight. Eric and quinn almost divorced a while ago, but then they called it off.

Brooke: Well, that’s before he knew about aunt donna’s feelings for him. I really think they might have another chance together.

Hope: I think that’s great. I would love that for her. After so much time apart, finally able to reconnect.

Brooke: You’re not thinking about your dad, are you?

Deacon: Hey, you know, housekeeping will do that.

Sheila: You keep them busy enough.

Deacon: Hey sheila, you know, I’ve been locked up in a six by six cell for a very long time. Forgive me if I wanna spread out a little bit.

Sheila: Yeah, well, you have been locked up for a while, which is–I would think you would want a little more than just some space. We are in a relationship now.

Deacon: A fake one.

Sheila: And if you play along, our children are going to totally believe we’re in love.

Katie: Hi.

Donna: Hey.

Katie: Uh… what are you doing?

Donna: Um…I was going to call you. Eric wanted to see you alone.

Katie: What happened?

Donna: It’s over.

Quinn: You’re back. Did you speak with donna?

Eric: Yes. I explained the situation to her. I told her that you felt that our interaction was inappropriate.

Quinn: Eric, she used a personal problem in our marriage to get closer to you. She conspired with her sisters to break us up.

Eric: I said yes, quinn. I did what you asked.

Quinn: I hope you know how happy I am that you can be intimate again. It’s what we’ve been hoping for. It’s just… it’s just how it happened, and I don’t think that my request was out of bounds.

Eric: It’s what you needed from me. Donna is packing up her things now and leaving forrester as we speak.

Brooke: Oh, god. There is no way your father and sheila are romantically involved.

Hope: Could it be a trick? Could it be one of sheila’s manipulations? Sure. I just I don’t want to believe that dad would do that to me after everything.

Brooke: Honey, that’s why I don’t want you involved with him. Because he is going to disappoint you and let you down.

Hope: But that’s not the only reason, is it? You’ve pretty much steered me away from my father most of my life, but why, why are you so dead set against me getting to know him?

Katie: Eric, fired you?

Donna: No, no. I said I would leave.

Katie: This whole thing, donna, is quinn’s mess, it’s not yours. What happened between you and eric should not impact your employment.

Donna: She knows how I feel about eric.

Katie: So what? She doesn’t make decisions about who gets fired and hired around here.

Donna: Stop! It’s over. It’s over. Eric chose quinn.

Quinn: I’m sorry you feel so drained. I don’t want you thinking I’m being callous or unkind. I’m not getting any joy out of this.

Eric: I respect your feeling, but I feel that forcing donna out of the company’s a total overreaction.

Quinn: I don’T. She crossed a line with my husband. Eric, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But donna thinks that she belongs with you and that’s why she had to go.

Deacon: Hope, your son, the forresters, they’re not stupid. They’re going to see right through this performance.

Sheila: That’s why we need to make everyone believe that we are a couple. We’ve got to give them proof. And what could be more convincing than a paper trail?

Deacon: Great. My letters from hope. This is your big plan.

Sheila: Our letters. Passionate correspondence between lovers that are just dreaming about the day they can be together.

Deacon: Sheila carter. The only problem is I never wrote you. And if I did, it definitely wouldn’t be whatever fantasy you concocted in this little gem.

Sheila: But you wrote to brooke and bridget, hope over and over.

Deacon: Hope’s the only one who responded.

Sheila: The letters were returned.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: What could be more human than a love story? I can use those returned letters as templates. I mean, it could be key to helping me create a perfect narrative. I’m trying to create history for us here, deacon. The story of our love affair, and it is going to be so compelling that finn and hope and even the almighty forresters will never once doubt that we’re in a relationship.

Brooke: My number one concern is for you, hope.

Hope: You don’t want dad to let me down again.

Brooke: No, and he most certainly will. Your father isn’t the man that you wish he was.

Hope: Mom, I can’t defend his judgment, but I also don’t want to just write him off and I don’t know why you want me to. Why you won’t even let me give him a chance and… that makes me think that there’s something more to this for you.

Brooke: I won’t deny that my history with your father is painful to me. And yes, I do want to just put it all behind me. I mean, having him here in town and wanting to have a relationship with you, that does worry me, hope. And it, it fills me with a lot of shame.

Front loader odor.

Deacon: Do you really think running a con on our kids is the best way to get them to believe we’ve changed? I just, I wanted to do things differently this time. I wanted to be honest, really connect with my kid.

Sheila: Me too. But the forresters are never going to allow that. They forced us into this deception.

Deacon: So what we just… fabricate a relationship and the evidence to prove it?

Sheila: We’ve done worse.

Deacon: Yeah, that’s kind of the problem.

Sheila: Okay, we’re just telling a story here, deacon. That’s not going to hurt anyone.

Deacon: Except us if they see through it. All right, so, um… so we’re supposed to be soulmates, right? Where was our first date?

Sheila: Knowing you, it was a cheap one.

Deacon: Did you pick me up when I got out of prison? Sheila, if we slip up, if we get caught in a lie, it’ll prove the forresters right and we’ll never get a second chance with our kids.

Sheila: Just follow my lead, okay? Everything’s going to be all right.

Hope: So, there’s nothing good you can say about deacon?

Brooke: Oh. Well… without him, I wouldn’t have you. You have to know how precious you are to me.

Hope: I can also tell that this is hurting your feelings.

Brooke: Okay, look. You can’t help who your father is, and none of this is your fault. It’s just that with deacon back in town, his presence here. I mean, ridge and I are in a good space, and I don’t want him to disrupt that in some way.

Hope: I thought you and ridge were solid, right?

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just–I mean, some things really hurt to remember.

Hope: Was your time with dad really that bad?

Brooke: I did some indefensible things. I mean, I said that it just happened, when really… I allowed it to happen. I allowed your father to, to seduce me in ways… with his charm and his charisma. I was alone. Ridge wasn’t there. And deacon was, was there for me. What are you doing?

Deacon: What we’ve both been thinking about all night long.

Brooke: I can’T.

Deacon: Do you want me to leave?

Brooke: No. I made a mistake. The worst betrayal of my life. I, you know, honey. I slept with my… daughter’s husband. But, you have to know that you weren’t one of them. Honey. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. I’m so thankful for that. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Katie: You mean so much to eric. He shouldn’t force you out just because quinn wants him to.

Donna: Quinn is his priority, katie. Eric doesn’t want me to leave. She had no choice.

Quinn: Eric. We vowed to put each other first. To always defend ourselves and our marriage. Today, you did that for me.

Deacon: This fake relationship thing? This is a bad idea.

Sheila: No, it’s the opportunity we’ve been looking for. This could be the pathway back to their lives. I… finn is my last opportunity to prove that I can be the mother I know I can be. All those horrible things that steffy said about me… that was in my past. I’m not that woman anymore, deacon. I’ve, I’ve paid for my mistakes. My other children, they… they don’t want to see me. They won’t have anything to do with me. Finn is my lifeline. My future. Hope is yours. We can be with them, our grandchildren. Just stick to the plan, please.

Hope: Can you at least admit that you saw something in my father? That you felt something.

Deacon: Last night, I felt this incredible… sense of stillness, of calm. Like I’ve been living in some kind of hurricane and I finally made it to the eye of the storm, and it’s raging outside. And now all there is is peace. And quiet. And you.

Brooke: It was… it was complicated, sweetheart.

Hope: I know about all the negatives that surround that time, and deacon’s let me down in the past too. He’s let a lot of people down, but… I have to imagine you saw some goodness in him, right? Because, then otherwise, there wouldn’t be me.

Deacon: Baby, please, I can’t stand seeing you hurt like this. I just–I want to help you, please. We can get through this. Just be honest with me.

Brooke: Yes. Yes. I’m pregnant.

Deacon: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, you’re pregnant with my baby.

Brooke: We were just freaked out. But when I told him, he was happy. He’s had a really hard life, you know? And yeah, yeah, there’s some good qualities there.

Hope: Then why can’t I see him? Ridge isn’t perfect, but you always have his back, and besides, the two of you weren’t even together at that point. Ridge was off with taylor. He’s my dad, why… why don’t I get a say in this? I’ve basically been kept separated from my father my entire life. And I don’t think I deserve that.

Deacon: Yeah I love you so much. I don’t ever want you to think that your dad is leaving you because I’m not. I just want to give you the best life that you can have. You know, brooke, most people, they just have memories. But you and me got this beautiful, little girl. Do me a favor and just tell her I love her every chance you get. Someday, the storm is going to clear, brooke. And when it does, you better believe it. I’m going to be right there waiting for you.

Hope: I’m sorry, but he’s my father and… honestly, I-I think he’S… fascinating. He’s led a very, very interesting life. He’s protective. He’s sweet. He has a wicked sense of humor.

Brooke: He’s also–

Hope: He’s also my dad, mom. And I know I will probably be let down, and I know I might have a really hard lesson to learn, but at least let me be the one to learn it. And it might have been your mistake all those years ago to even let him into your life, but now I… I… I’m the one paying the price. I want him in my life, mom. I want to give him a chance. Are you really going to to rob me of that? My own father?

Finn: Steffy, what you overheard–

Steffy: What I heard was hope injecting herself in our marriage and in our family. Implying that you could have a relationship with sheila.

Hope: Actually what I said was–

Steffy: I can’t believe you are advocating for that woman!

Hope: I’m not doing that. I was simply trying to point out–

Steffy: What? How unfair it is that you’re forbidden to see your dad and his birth mom? Nothing about this is unfair. I mean, come on. They’re poison. Everything that sheila and deacon touch turns to poison. I mean, how can you not see that? You should be telling him to stay away from her. Not saying the exact opposite!

[Dramatic music]

Brooke: You sure you won’t join me?

Katie: No, no. I’m just keeping you company. I had a lovely lunch earlier.

Brooke: Yeah, so you said. Looking for somebody?

Katie: No, no. I’m sure he’s back at his office by now.

Brooke: He?

Katie: Never mind. So, what do you think about eric asking to talk to donna alone? I mean, what do you think he’s gonna say to her?

Brooke: I know what I’m hoping he’ll say. That he’s ready to dump quinn once and for all.

[Gentle music]

[Sighing]

Shauna: I got here as fast as I could. So, what happened with donna?

Quinn: That’s what I’m wondering.

Shauna: You don’t know? I mean, earlier you said that you were gonna confront her. Did you see her?

Quinn: Yeah, yeah. And eric is with her now. Doing what he should’ve done from the start.

Doonna: You wanted to talk to me… about our future?

Eric: Yes, especially after everything that’s happened. I think it’s time, don’t you?

Brooke: Can you imagine how much saner eric’s life would be with donna? She can give him so much more than quinn ever could. That’s why quinn’s flipping out.

Katie: Yeah, I know, but it’s not like donna put the moves on eric. There was no affair. But quinn still blames her anyway.

Brooke: Oh, blaming is one thing, but threatening? That’s uncalled for.

Katie: I don’t blame donna for feeling like her life was in danger. I mean, I would’ve felt the same way.

Brooke: Quinn is erratic. There’s no telling what she might do.

Quinn: Oh my god, shauna. The very thought of my husband and donna logan. Ugh!

Shauna: I know you’re disgusted and why wouldn’t you be? It had to be so painful hearing what hasn’t happened between you and eric happened between donna and eric.

Eric: My whole world lights up when I look at your face. It does. All my troubles fade away. Everything’s gone except how happy you make me.

Donna: Well, when you’re happy, I’m happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted, eric.

Eric: I know. I know, and that means so much to me. Donna, I had to be… I had to be honest with quinn. I had to tell her what had happened. I owed her that much. And you could imagine it didn’t go well with her. It’s impossible for her to accept.

Finn: I think you’re reading a little more into this than what there is.

Steffy: Are you saying I didn’t hear what I heard?

Finn: No, but you didn’t hear everything. If you had, you’d know hope and I are just trying to deal with a situation that isn’t easy for anyone.

Hope: Yeah, and like it or not steffy, your husband and I, we have something in common which is parents with very, very troubled pasts.

Finn: Parents that we’ve been told we can’t see again.

Steffy: You know why? You know why liam feels the same? Because if you have any interaction with sheila, you put our family in jeopardy. That woman is dangerous. I know she keeps telling you that she’s not, that she’s reborn. But this woman manipulates. You know that. She’s making you a target. And hope, deacon’s making you a target. Please tell me you understand. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Brooke: It’s impossible to know what quinn might do. So I’d rather focus on what eric will do.

Katie: Asking to talk to donna’s got to be a good sign, right?

Brooke: I hope so. But, you know, quinn won’t give up without a fight.

Katie: I can only imagine what quinn has said to eric about this.

Brooke: Hopefully eric realizes he’s had enough of quinn. Especially now that there’s an undeniable connection between him and donna.

Katie: Yeah, I’m sure quinn is well aware of that connection by this time too.

Quinn: Course I’m happy that eric had this breakthrough. But, I mean, how can I not be hurt under the circumstances? My husband was aroused by not me, but another woman. And not just any woman, a logan woman. Which makes it so much worse.

Shauna: Quinn, you’ve had to put up with your share from all of them.

Quinn: I know, we both have. Life would be so much better without those sanctimonious logan sisters.

[Scoffing] Katie shows up at all hours of the day and night, just to hold eric’s hand. And brooke sticking her nose in any chance she gets, and then donna just vamping her way up to my husband. That is why I told eric he needs to cut donna out of our lives completely.

Donna: Obviously there’s no love lost between quinn and me. But, I understand why she was so upset. I mean, it must’ve been so painful to hear that. But, I hope she didn’t take it out on you.

Eric: I don’t want to talk about quinn right now, I want to talk about you and me. Mostly you. And…and about… the decision I’ve made. And the effect it’s gonna have on both of our futures.

Donna: Tell me! Tell me, please. You’re killing me with the suspense. What have you decided?

Finn: You think all I am to sheila is someone to be manipulated? She doesn’t have any genuine feelings for me?

Steffy: I didn’t say that.

Finn: No, but it’s what you implied when you said I’m her target.

[Sighs]

Steffy: I’m not trying to be harsh, or controlling. I know you and hope are in a terrible position. Under different circumstances, liam and I and the whole family would have your back. But we’re talking about sheila and deacon. Think about all the heartache they’ve caused, all the devastation, and I don’t want that to happen again. I don’t want you to be another casualty of sheila’s cruelty. And I don’t want that for you where deacon’s concerned.

Hope: And I appreciate that, steffy, I do. And look, I’m weary of sheila too, and I know that my father is no saint. But, is it really fair for you and liam, and everyone else to tell us to cut our parents out of our lives forever without even giving them a real chance? I mean, no, I don’t think so.

Finn: Obviously, there’s different ways of seeing this. I just, I don’t want things to get contentious between you two.

Steffy: Neither do I. But I need to know you both really hear me on this.

Hope: We hear you. But, can you say the same for what we’re trying to tell you? Look, if you don’t mind. I actually– I’d like to speak to steffy alone.

Steffy: I’d like to speak to hope too. We’ll be fine.

Finn: Okay. I love you. And I love our family. And I get why you’re concerned about sheila. Never doubt that, okay?

[Dramatic music]

Steffy: Before you say anything, I just want to be clear about one thing. If you want a relationship with deacon, that’s on you. That’s your prerogative. But keep finn out of it. And our marriage.

Shauna: You told eric that donna had to go?

Quinn: She completely disrespected me and our marriage.

Shauna: Those logans are such hypocrites. Chastising you for having an affair with carter? But encouraging donna to have an affair with eric? I mean, where do they get off?

Quinn: I know! Donna had to know that eric was vulnerable. There is no way that I can turn a blind eye to this. I had to tell eric that he needed to respect me. I had to insist that he honor me. That he give donna the boot from the office and our personal lives. He should be doing that right now.

Eric: I’m not sure I can explain to you how it felt to me as a man to have such a wonderful breakthrough with you as I did. And I went home, expecting to be able to make love to my wife in a way that we hadn’t in months and months. And when I wasn’t able to I… well, we both know why it didn’t happen. I felt something for you. I’ve never known anyone with a more wonderful huge heart than yours. I never will again. Once upon a time there was a reindeer named tiptoe

Hope: I am not trying to interfere in your marriage.

Steffy: If you’re getting into finn’s head about sheila, that’s exactly what you’re doing.

Hope: No, we just– we have something in common. I mean, my dad and his mom–

Steffy: His birth mom.

Hope: Them…seeing them together, and then hearing that they’re in a relationship. It just–

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re actually buying that.

Hope: Well, I don’t think I do. Steffy, my guard is up when it comes to sheila, and I understand how this may look given my concerns about taylor in the past. But we only just got them back. Can’t we at least give them time to prove us right or wrong? Is it that bad that finn and I just wanna see if they’ve grown and if they’ve changed. It’s about second chances, steffy.

Steffy: We’ve already given sheila a second chance. And a third chance. And a fourth chance. I mean, I just…I thank god finn didn’t have to go through that nightmare that woman put my family through. Yours too.

Hope: And I’m thankful for that too. We’re just…we’re trying to help each other out.

Steffy: Okay, if you wanna help me out, if you want to help finn out, tell him to stay away from sheila, and you should stay away from deacon. They’re dangerous. And we need to be thinking about the children.

Hope: And given what I have been through in the past, I am well aware of that. But it’s not as cut and dry for us, steffy. They are our parents. And our feelings are different about it. And you know, finn, he’s become a friend to me and we are just trying to help each other navigate through a really complicated situation.

Steffy: It’s not that complicated. It is not that complicated at all. Sheila and deacon should still be behind bars. This relationship is a manipulation to get to you. And finn! And it’s actually working. I thought we talked about putting the family first. Putting the children first.

Hope: Yes, but steffy, sheila and deacon are a part of our families.

Steffy: No, I’m never gonna accept sheila as part of my family. I’m never gonna do that. Look, whatever you decide to do about deacon, that’s on you. But when it comes to sheila and finn, stay out of it. And stay out of my marriage.

Brooke: It could be happening at this very moment. Eric and donna reuniting.

Katie: One thing’s for sure, our sister is so much better for eric than quinn.

Brooke: [Sighs] Yep.

Quinn: Eric knows how important this is to me. And if he respects me and our marriage, donna will be gone from our lives today.

Eric: It’s impossible to deny that something wonderful happened between us. You’re able to reach me in a way that… that quinn was not able to. You’re so different, the two of you. She’s this force of nature, and you’re this calm, loving woman. You’ve loved me all this time?

Donna: I’ve always loved you, eric. Always will. What? What is it, eric? What’s wrong?

Eric: You know how seriously I take my commitments. How serious I am about my vows to quinn. She feels that you’ve disrespected her and our marriage, and she wants you gone from forrester creations and from our lives for good.

Donna: Uh, she threatened the same thing to me, but–

Eric: I know.

Donna: Wait, don’T… don’t tell me that you… you’re gonna…

Eric: I’m sorry, donna. After everything… everything we’re done together, everything you’ve meant to me, I’m so… I’m sorry. I didn’t want it to end this way. Uh… but I want to honor my wife’s wishes. I hate telling you this.

Donna: Stop. Stop. Stop. Just stop. I’m gonna clean out my desk. It’s okay. It’s okay. I don’t want to make this any harder for you than it already is. Just know that… I will cherish our memories. And I will always hold them close. And I wish that we could make more together. But don’t forget one thing… my love for you is constant. It will never waver. You are the one great love of my life, eric forrester. And nothing, or nobody, will ever change that.

Liam: You know, I was– I was positive kelly would be exhausted after our hike.

Steffy: Yeah! Have you met our daughter?

Liam: I know. Apparently not. I couldn’t even keep up with her.

Steffy: Yeah, she was like, 10 feet ahead of us.

[Laughing]

Liam: Yeah, well, now she and hayes can wear amelia out at the park.

Steffy: Aw, those sweet little angel babies. I never want them out of my sight.

Liam: Yeah, I know that feeling.

Steffy: I mean, our kids are our life.

Liam: Kind of defeats the purpose if we don’t protect them, doesn’t it?

Steffy: That’s why it’s so important to keep sheila and deacon out of our lives for good.

[Bird whistles]

Finn: Hope?

Hope: Finn, hi. Um, steffy actually isn’t here, right now. She’s out with liam and kelly.

No, I know, I know. Uh, I actually came by to see you.

Donna: I’m trying to stay calm but honestly I’m– I’m still a little rattled.

>>[Brooke sighs] I’d feel the same way if quinn cornered me like that.

Donna: Thank you. She was furious, brooke.

Katie: Hello, my beautiful sissies.

Brooke: Oh, why are you all smiley?

Katie: Oh, I just had a lovely lunch at il giardino.

Brooke: Ooh, making me crave that chopped salad.

Katie: I know, it’s so good. Donna, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

[Donna scoffs]

Donna: Think about it. Who is the craziest person we know?

Brooke: Yeah, quinn was here earlier.

Katie: Oh.

Donna: She knows. She knows about what happened between eric and me.

Quinn: I can’t believe you and donna logan.

Eric: Quinn, this is not at all what you’re making it out to be.

[Quinn scoffs] We should be celebrating this breakthrough! This is such good news after so many months– you finally being yourself again– but for it– for it to have happened not with me, but with donna. She’s trying to sabotage our marriage. And I am not going to let that happen. And you need to promise me you’re not going to let it happen either.

Liam: Yeah, as if the two of them aren’t bad enough on their own. Now they’re– they’re claiming to be a couple?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s just so weird. I mean, they do have a lot in common. They’re both con artists.

Liam: Yeah, they’ve both been locked away for committing crimes against your family.

Steffy: Hope’s family, too.

Liam: I know. And now they’re in love.

Hope: Actually, my um, my dad just texted.

Finn: What’d he say?

Hope: He just said he’s thinking of me… I haven’t written back yet.

Finn: Yeah, sheila’s been reaching out, too. I haven’t responded. We both know how steffy feels about my birth mother.

Hope: Ugh, yeah well, liam’s attitude about deacon isn’t much better.

Finn: So what do we do?

Katie: Quinn knows?

Brooke: Yes, she does. And she’s already coming after donna.

Donna: She confronted me when I was in here, all by myself.

Katie: Are you okay? Did she hurt you?

Donna: No. But, I am not exaggerating when I said, I was seriously scared for my life. I mean, there’s– there’s no telling what quinn might do.

Quinn: We will get through this. Together. But not if donna is making a play for you.

Eric: Quinn, that’s not at all what donna–

Quinn: She’s in love with you. Eric. She wants you. But I’m your wife and I am asking you to honor that. And if you respect me, if you respect our marriage, you will fire donna right away.

Liam: I mean, sheila’s proven time and time again that she’s just not interested in respecting boundaries.

Steffy: No. She came into my home and she was holding my baby.

Liam: Yeah, how– how has finn been since then? Is he a little better about trying to keep her away?

Steffy: I mean, I know it’s difficult for him. Feels guilty about it.

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m sure that’s exactly how sheila wants him to feel.

Steffy: Yeah, you get it. So do I. But when it comes to hope and finn, it’s their parents and I think they’re trying to see something good inside.

Liam: Yeah, I get that. It’s just know, in deacon’s case, he just keeps disappointing hope. Over and over again. And that’s what bothers me about that. Like, I don’t want her to have to experience that same pain all over again.

Steffy: The same goes with finn. I don’t want that. But you know, sheila and deacon are gonna try to sell this ridiculous romance, come on.

Liam: I know, I know. That’s just got to be another angle. Right?

Steffy: Most definitely. This is something straight outta sheila carter’s playbook.

Liam: Yeah, I mean I gotta think, it’s just another manipulation to try to worm their way back into the family.

Steffy: Of course, it is. That’s why we need to stay firm on this. We have to make sure finn and hope stay far away from sheila and deacon.

Finn: I wish I wanted nothing to do with sheila. But, I’m curious. You know? Like, who is she underneath that hard surface? I mean, what made her that way? What was her childhood like?

Hope: She’s your birth mom, finn. It’s natural to feel a connection.

Finn: Yeah. But I also get why no one trusts her. I’d never make excuses for what she’s done. I dunno. I wish things were different. I missed out on a huge part of my life. I just want a chance to get to know her a little better.

Hope: I certainly have my issues with sheila. But as someone who’s father has basically been labeled a pariah since before I was even born… I also get your frustration, too. Yeah, I missed out on a lot of time with my dad and now beth, she’s not even going to get to meet her grandfather?

Finn: It’s not like we’re saying our parents are innocent…

[Hope chuckles] No, not by a longshot. I mean, they did this to themselves.

Finn: It sucks. You and I, we’re stuck in the middle. All right, we’re married to two people who literally despise them.

Hope: Yup, and now our parents are complicating matters even more now that they are supposedly in a relationship together.

Quinn: I love you, eric. And despite everything that happened, I know that you love me, too. But I need you to show me. I need you to show me that we are a priority to you. And I need you to prove that to me by telling donna that she will no longer be a part of our lives.

Katie: The fact is, eric has a connection with you that he doesn’t have with quinn. And he never will.

Brooke: Thank god he’s finally realizing he’s been with the wrong woman all these years.

Donna: I’ve always adored eric, I have. And there’s nothing I want more… but honestly, I’ve– I’ve just been too afraid to allow myself to think that it could even happen. And I’m not gonna interfere with that marriage.

Brooke: I know. Of course not. I mean, what happened was innocent.

Katie: Well, it was but on another level, it wasn’T. I mean, what happened was profound. It was a sign that eric can’t connect with quinn. Not because of some physical problem, but because he can’t connect with her emotionally and psychologically.

Brooke: Because she’s betrayed him so many times.

Katie: If he loved her once, it’s gone now.

Brooke: You’re the person that he’s longing for… the kind of bond that he deserves.

Katie: Eric belongs with you.

Steffy: I feel for finn, what this must be like for him.

Liam: Yeah, well hope’s in a crap position, too. I mean deacon’s, he’s always caused trouble for the family. He’s always been a conman but hope– I dunno. She just doesn’t want to see him for who he is because she’s a loving, caring daughter, right? And– and, the idea of cutting him out of her life completely, it’s a hard pill to swallow.

Steffy: I’d probably feel the same. But they have to protect themselves and they have to keep our children safe.

Liam: I agree. It’s just– I don’t even wanna appear like I’m telling hope how to live her life– like, who she can and can’t associate with. I don’t want to be that guy.

Steffy: I’m not enjoying this. This isn’t fun. But this is what has to be done. We can’t give them a chance just because deacon is beth’s grandfather, and sheila is… hayes’ grandmother. Liek, we can’t risk that. We need to be united on this. We need to stand together and be on high alert for all of our sakes: Our children and our families.

Finn: Did they really fall for each other?

Hope: Or are we the ones falling for some scheme?

Finn: I’d like to give our parents the benefit of the doubt. I’d like to see them happy. I mean, why not?

Hope: Well, they certainly appear interested in improving themselves and their circumstances but question is, are they a good influence on each other?

Finn: That remains to be seen.

Hope: Hm, yeah, I guess so…

Finn: But look, it’s not like we have any say in the matter. It’s their lives. And isn’t it possible they’ve learned from their mistakes?

Hope: It is possible although in sheila’s case, she does have some pretty big demons to overcome.

Finn: I’m not denying that. But people can be rehabilitated. Deacon said he walked out of that cell a new man. And I know my mom regrets everything that she’s done. If it was my choice– if I’m being honest, I… might be willing to give sheila and deacon the opportunity to prove themselves.

Hope: I… might consider it, too…

Finn: But it’s not only up to us.

Hope: Well no, of course not. I mean, we have our kids to think about. You have steffy, I have liam. Although unfortunately, it looks like steffy and liam they don’t believe or will ever believe that our parents deserve a second chance.

Katie: You’ve been so respectful, standing on the sidelines. But this is your moment. You and eric should give each other the happiness that you both deserve.

Donna: I have wanted that more than anything. And if you really think that this marriage could be over, then I could–

Brooke: It is. And you and eric are already so close.

Donna: This is the first moment I actually have a glimmer of hope… that– that eric and i could actually be together.

Katie: There you go. There it is. That is the attitude you should be having.

[Katie and brooke chuckling]

Brooke: Oh, honey. You just have to have faith that it’s going to happen. Okay?

Donna: I love you too, so much. Thank you for all of your love and support.

Eric: Sorry to interrupt, ladies.

Katie: Oh, um. You’re not interrupting.

Eric: You all look very happy together.

Brooke: Well, the days ahead are suddenly looking much brighter.

Katie: Yes, we have an awful lot to be encouraged about.

Eric: Would you mind terribly if I took a moment alone with this one, here?

Katie: No, no, not at all.

Eric: Thank you.

Katie: Brooke and i can make ourselves scarce.

Brooke: Yes, uh, how about that chopped salad…

Donna: I– I wanted to talk to you too, actually. Quinn knows about what happened with us. I’m so sorry.

Eric: No, no, it’s all right. I know she knows. She overheard brooke and me talking and so I, I felt I owed it to her to be honest. That’s why I want to see you.

Trelegy for copd.

Finn: Steffy has every right in the world to want sheila gone from our lives. There’s no repairing the damage inflicted on the forrester family. I get that. But it doesn’t make it any easier on my end.

Hope: Of course, not.

Finn: All this wondering if there’s you know, somehow, some way I could get to know my birth mother on my own terms. That dream has gone out the window. But steffy and I, we go hand in hand. We have to function as a team.

Hope: Well, absolutely. But it is still a tough situation. You know, I get it. It’s similar with deacon. Am I proud of the choices that he has made in his life? No. And I don’t even know the half of it but he’s still my dad. And I don’t want to be another unforgiving, untrusting person in his life right now. Look, ridge was a good stepfather… but for better or for worse, deacon is my father and I want to believe that he has changed.

Finn: Well look, at least they’ve got each other now. Sheila and deacon. I mean, if what they’re saying is true– I don’t know about you I feel comforted knowing that sheila’s not alone. I felt like a jerk every time I gotta ask her to leave and tell her, to get out. She can’t be here.

Hope: I have to admit it does feel a little unfair that we’re basically being forbidden from seeing our own parents.

Steffy: Excuse me? Are you serious, hope? What are you saying to finn?

Finn: We were discussing our parents and how–

Steffy: How what? How psychotic sheila is, how dangerous she is? She tried to shoot my mother, she kidnapped yours. And now you’re questioning why I want her out of my life?

Hope: Woah, that is not what I was saying, steffy.

Steffy: This is my husband. My marriage. My family. You keep your bad advice to yourself.

Brooke: So you have to see what this means, right? The woman that could make you truly, truly happy is my sister. Donna.

[Pants lightly]

Quinn: I don’t want you to be around her ever again except to go to the office and tell her clean out her desk and never set foot in forrester creation or our home ever again.

Donna: You wanted to see me?

Eric: Yes.

Donna: Eric, I’m so sorry. I– I might have overstepped by telling my sisters but they were just hounding me…

Eric: Donna, it’s okay. It’s all right. It really is.

Donna: No, but brooke shouldn’t have come to your house and for quinn to overhear like that? She should have heard it from you. But my sisters have always believed that maybe you and I would get back together… but I would never, I would never interfere with your marriage. You know that. What we shared, it was a hug, an innocent hug that was sweet, that was tender and then, I don’t know, something unexpected occurred.

Eric: I know.

[Donna chuckles] And I tried to explain that to quinn, I did, I tried, that neither you or I wanted this to happen–

Eric: I know. I told her that.

Donna: Oh.

Eric: I know that but she doesn’t believe it.

Donna: Wait. Okay, so you– you spoke to quinn about this.

Eric: Yes, I did. She’s uh, she’s very upset. Donna, I had a chance to do some uh, some self-examination, some real thinking about myself and my moving forward in my life. And I’ve made a decision. You know how much you mean to me. And not just now, I mean, all the time we were married and now this whole revelation to me– you’ve brought me back to life! I feel whole again. I feel like I’m reborn. You need to know how much, how much I love you, how much you mean to me, how grateful I am. You know that, right?

[Donna chuckles bashfully] Well– you know how I feel, eric.

Eric: Yeah, I do. That’s why I wanted to talk to you about us. About you and me, about our past and everything we’ve been through… and our future.

Quinn: Don’t try me, donna. I promise you’ll regret it.

Donna: I’m not trying to do anything, quinn. Okay?

[Whimpering] I don’t want to fight with you. I don’t want to fight with you!

Qui: Then you keep your hands off my husband.

Donna: I don’t know what you think–

Quinn: Oh, no, no, no! Don’t you dare try to play innocent with me. I heard eric and brooke talking. I know what you were up to! You’re going after my husband–

Donna: No–

Quinn: So you should consider yourself warned. Back off! Or I will make sure eric never sees or hears from you ever again.

Brooke: Eric, do you really need to tell quinn what happened between you and donna?

Eric: Absolutely. She’s my wife, brooke. Look, I had this breakthrough, this breakthrough I thought would ner ul granted, it was with somebody else and so I think she deserves to know the truth.

Brooke: Yeah, well, if it were anybody else but quinn, I would understand that. But, you know, quinn has a history of losing her temper in a major way.

Eric: I’ll be able to handle quinn.

Brooke: Well, I know you will. But what if she goes after my sister?

Katie: You’re holding my hand.

Carter: You noticed.

Katie: It’s kind of hard not to.

Carter: It’s a nice hand. Very soft.

Katie: Hasn’t been held in a long time.

Carter: Is this okay?

Katie: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t mind a bit.

[Katie chuckling]

Katie: Oh!

Carter: Uh. Thank you.

Katie: Looks good.

Carter: Yeah, yeah it does. So um, back to the news about eric. He had A… physical reaction to donna.

Katie: Yeah, pretty crazy, right? I mean, it’s something that hasn’t happened with quinn. I think that speaks volumes about how he really feels about his wife.

Carter: And you think i should pursue a relationship with quinn if she and eric don’t make it?

Katie: No. No, I didn’t say that.

Carter: Well, it’s– it’s the way it sounded.

Katie: No. I was just wondering how you would feel if quinn were suddenly available. I’m not advocating for you to be with her at all. I think that you deserve someone better, someone who respects you and appreciates you and… who always put you first.

Brooke: I’m just saying, quinn’s not the most stable person I’ve ever met. So, it’s entirely possible she could blame donna and go off on her.

Eric: Look, I’ll make it clear that donna did absolutely nothing wrong. You don’t have to be concerned.

Donna: Quinn I– I just– I just– I– I wanna get back to my desk, please.

Quinn: I don’t think you fully understand me.

Donna: Just… let me go–

Quinn: Eric is my husband and I will not tolerate you disrespecting me or my marriage. And I won’t sit back quietly while you make moves on my husband. What I will do… is make you pay. Hi susan! Honey?

Katie: I know that your feelings for quinn run deep. She could have cost you everything and you were willing to pay the price. Build a life with her, away from los angeles.

Carter: If quinn said yes, I would’ve walked away from everything I’ve built here and never looked back. But… she didn’T. She went back to eric and, and– what am i supposed to do with that?

Katie: So, what are you saying? You wouldn’t want to be with quinn even if you had the chance?

Brooke: Those of us who are reasonable and who know donna, know that she would never do anything wrong. She doesn’t have a deceptive bone in her body.

Eric: Truer words. No one’s ever been more open or genuine than donna has.

Brooke: Well, she’s a good person. She has good morals and good values. And she would never interfere in your marriage.

Eric: I know that.

Brooke: You know that but does quinn know that? And you did say that you’re gonna tell her donna did nothing wrong. But you know quinn: When she feels wronged or slighted, she just gets that stuck in her head? Donna is a lover, not a fighter. And quinn… well, she’s been known to go off on people. She can be dangerous. I’m just worried about my sister.

Eric: I know. It’s going to be okay.

Brooke: Okay.

Eric: Go on.

Donna: You– you’re misinterpreting everything, okay? I… I didn’t come on to eric. I didn’T. I swear– we shared a hug and that’s it!

Quinn: Must have been some hug.

Donna: Okay. Ah! I could see how, uh, you would be hurt that he responded to another woman, but I swe–

Quinn: But– but nothing. No, I don’t want to hear your excuses, I don’t want to hear your justifications. You– you think you can have anyone or anything you want. You are so… self-righteous! And high and mighty. You, and brooke, and katie– you look down your hypocritical noses at me like you have never done anything wrong, you’ve never done anything that you’ve ever regretted. I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ve owned up to them. I’ve apologized for them. I’ve asked eric to forgive me but it doesn’t justify you going after my husband.

Donna: No. I–

Quinn: It must bug you! Doesn’t it? I mean, it must really, really get to you that eric chose me. That eric, wanted me to be his wife. Handsome eric forrester wanted to be saddled for life with a piece of trash like me.

Donna: I have never called you that.

Quinn: You didn’t have to. It’s written all over your face. It is. Yeah. Wait, you’re, you’re the “sweet” logan, right? I mean, you’re the good one that balances out the arrogance and the entitlement of the other two. Donna, you don’t have to come right out and tell me how awful you think I am because that’s what brooke and katie do. You just need to sit outside at your little desk and you just need to wait and wait until you see your opportunity to pounce.

Donna: That’s so not fair–

Quinn: I am not letting you steal my husband. I am going to do everything I have to do to protect my marriage. And if that means that I have to eliminate you from our lives forever… so be it. You try to stay ahead of the mess

Carter: It’s funny. I can’t believe we’ve known each other for this long and this is the first time we’re sitting down and having a conversation.

Katie: Right?

Carter: It’s nice. I enjoy talking with you, katie.

Katie: Yeah, same here.

Carter: Hoping for more of it.

Katie: Oh, I think that’s a pretty safe bet.

Carter: You said earlier that I deserve someone who appreciates me.

Katie: Yeah, I meant it.

Carter: And I can say the same for you, as well. You’re special, katie. And I was never convinced that bill is worthy. Probably shouldn’t have said that. I just think so highly of you. I mean, you’re this amazing businesswoman. You’re smart and accomplished. But there’s this other side to you: You’re warm and you’re funny. Vulnerable. And I mean that in the best possible way. I mean, you’re open and honest. It’s a compliment.

Katie: Thank you.

Carter: And I’m aware of some of the struggles you’ve been through but you never let it change you. Wonderful mother to will, good friend and sister– katie, I don’t know– I don’t know where this strength comes from. I know you may feel you’ve been in brooke and donna’s shadow but… I see you.

[Door creaks]

Brooke: Oh! When I didn’t see you at your desk, I thought that you were out to lunch.

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t think that um, I could really eat right now.

Brooke: Well, I’m sure that you’re distracted given everything that’s happening with eric. It’s pretty significant that he responded to you and not–

Donna: K. I don’t want to come between them, brooke. How many times have I said that?

Brooke: Are you all right?

Donna: I’m trying to be.

Brooke: Did something happen?

Yes. Quinn happened. She was here. And she knows. She knows what happened with eric and me.

Eric: Quinn, there you are.

Quinn: Yep. Here I am.

Eric: Everything alright?

Quinn: I’m fine.

Eric: I think not. What is it?

Quinn: I think you know, eric. When were you going to tell me?

Eric: Tell you what?

Quinn: About you and donna.

Eric: Ah… how did you, um–

Quinn: Oh, I overheard you and brooke talking.

Eric: It’s not what I can see you’re probably thinking…

Quinn: All this time… you weren’t able to make it happen with me… but you could with donna? Donna logan?

Katie: Well, I’m flattered that I’ve caught your attention. Feeling’s mutual.

Carter: You don’t have to say that. Katie: Oh, come on. How could I not notice the most eligible bachelor that forrester has ever seen? I mean, it is baffling to me that you’re still unattached.

Carter: Well, I am looking to change that. I want a woman I can build a future with.

Katie: And you thought that woman was quinn? Sorry. I’m gonna rein in my disdain. I know that you, um, have feelings for her.

Carter: Yeah, but I’m looking forward. From this vantage point, I… I see good things ahead.

Katie: It’s funny. So do I.

Donna: I mean, something is seriously wrong with that woman. I mean, who acts like that?

Brooke: What happened?

Donna: I was– I was here by myself, straightening up and then suddenly the door slams and there’s quinn behind me, glaring at me with her crazy eyes. And then I tried to leave and she stepped in front of me…

Brooke: What? She wouldn’t let you leave?

Donna: No. No. And then she got in my face and said she knew what I was up to with her husband and– well, then she ranted and raved about us.

Brooke: Us?

Donna: Yeah, you, me, and katie. And then she pinned me up against that desk with a freaking chair!

Brooke: Wait– I– okay, I don’t understand because eric said he hadn’t told quinn yet, so how did she find out?

Donna: She overheard you talking to eric last night.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: I’m sorry you had to find out that way. I was going to tell you.

Quinn: When?

Eric: Now. I shouldn’t have put it off.

Quinn: So, you uh… you really felt something with donna. Oh. Well… that is, um… that’s significant. And I’m so happy. I’m happy for you. The more I think about it, the more I come to realize that um, this problem you were having– it wasn’t about you, it was about me. And I– I– I I know some day that– that it will be between us again, right? That– that it’ll be us. But until then, I need to know– I need to know what happened with donna so um, so I can understand.

Eric: It was innocent, quinn.

Quinn: I really find that hard to believe.

Eric: I see that. But, it was. Look, she and I have been talking lately and she’s been concerned about me.

Quinn: Because she’s in love with you.

Eric: Yes, I know that now. And I held her. And it wasn’t sexual. It was about friendship and history. But yes, something did happen.

Quinn: Twice.

Eric: Yeah… the first time…

Quinn: Was that night, the night you came in to the house and you practically swept me off my feet. And you said, “I don’t even wanna have dinner. I just wanna take you upstairs and make love to you. That was about donna–

Eric: No, that– that was about you and me. I wanted to have sex with you.

Quinn: I don’t get it. I know I made mistakes, eric. And, and I know that I hurt you but…

Eric: Donna did nothing wrong.

Quinn: Donna and her sisters have been attacking me and our marriage since day one! And I have had to bite my tongue and I have had to take their condescending attitude because you hold those logan sisters in such high esteem! I wanted it to happen with me! And it will. I know it will. It’ll happen, it’ll happen between us. I’m sure of that. But until then, I want donna to be gone. I mean it. Eric, I will not accept such blatant disrespect. I don’t want to see donna here, anymore.

Eric: What?

Quinn: I don’T. Want to see donna’s face ever again. I don’t want you to be around her ever again, except to go to the office and tell her, clean out her desk and never set foot in forrester creation or our home ever again!

Eric: Quinn, you’re overreact–

Quinn: No! I am not overreacting! Not after what donna has done. I need you to respect me, eric! I am your wife! I need you to honor me! If you care about our marriage, if you think it has even the chance to survive, you need to tell donna to get out of forrester creations and out of our lives. Forever.

Brooke: It’s not that you don’t have passion or desire, it’s just that you don’t have that with quinn. You couldn’t with quinn but you could with donna. Twice. Eric. That means quinn isn’t the woman you’re supposed to be with. The woman that can make you truly, truly happy is my sister. Donna.

Shauna: Quinn? I got your text. It sounded urgent.

Quinn: It is.

Shauna: What’s wrong?

Quinn: What’s wrong? Oh, I don’t know. I dunno. How about my marriage being under attack again by the logans?

Shauna: Oh, no. What is brooke up to now?

Quinn: Nope. Not brooke this time, donna.

Brooke: I was just trying to help.

Donna: I know, I know. I just wish you wouldn’t had gone to eric about what happened between us.

Brooke: Why not?

Brooke: Somebody’s gotta be your advocate.

Donna: I love you for wanting to be that for me but please, just let eric make his own decision. I don’t want you or anyone else making this more difficult for him!

Carter: Hey, I got your message. About meeting up…

Katie: Um, yeah, yeah. Thanks for coming. Sit.

Carter: Of course. So, what’s going on? Why did you want to see me? So, let me guess… legal advice.

Katie: Maybe. But not for me. For eric and quinn.

Carter: Well, it might be best to talk to a different lawyer given my um, let’s just call it complicated history with them.

Katie: Yeah, well that’s– that’s kind of why I’m reaching out to you. Something is going on that you should know about. Something having to do with eric and quinn… and donna.

Donna: I don’t know how I keep embarrassing myself. No– okay. No more talking at work. From now on it’s just… “forrester creations, how may I direct your call?” And that is it.

Eric: Yeah, that sounds pretty boring. I much prefer walking in here and overhearing these thoughtful words of yours. It’s uh, much appreciated.

Brooke: Uh so, um, eric. Did you get a chance to think more about what I said yesterday?

Eric: Uh, brooke… listen, I realize you’re just trying to protect me–

Donna: Brooke, you’ve got to stop putting him on the spot like this.

Brooke: I’m not. C’mon. What happened with you and what didn’t happened with quinn… I mean, that speaks volumes–

Eric: Ugh, brooke. Please, please.

Brooke: Eric, eric, I am thrilled for you. I’m relieved that this problem isn’t permanent. And my relief goes beyond that, okay? I’m just happy that maybe you’ll be able to trust again, maybe find commitment again. To know love.

Shauna: Donna?

Quinn: You’re never gonna believe what I overheard. Brooke was over here, yesterday talking to eric. They had no idea I was listening in… what I want to do to that woman– what she was encouraging eric to do…

Shauna: Encouraging what?

Quinn: And I can’t even believe that eric would hurt me this way, not after everything we’ve been through.

Shauna: Okay, you are not making any sense. And, you need to take a deep breath and calm down. Tell me what happened. Because it sounds like you’re trying to tell me that eric cheated on you. And you and I both know that cheating isn’t exactly an option for him right now.

Quinn: Except it is. Every time he tries with me, he can’T. But he can with donna when you hear the word healthy

Katie: Eric and donna were just talking and… I’m not sure if you know but donna still has feelings for him and they were talking about that. And it just turned into this sweet, tender moment and they embraced and… I guess there’s just something about donna, you know, her kindness, that um, made eric react.

Carter: So, he can’t with quinn? But just embracing donna…

Katie: Yup.

Carter: Wow. Why tell me?

Katie: Well, I know you have feelings for quinn. You loved her, you wanted to run away with her and I saw how devastated you were when she decided to go back to eric. But what if eric doesn’t really want to be with quinn? What if he’s decided that donna’s really the right woman for him? That could open up possibilities for you. How would you feel about that?

Shauna: Oh, my god. Quinn, I can’t believe this.

Quinn: When I first started hearing them talking, I thought brooke was here for one of her regular rants, you know? You know how she loves to go on and on about how horrible I am and that the only reason that eric is… that eric is with me ’cause he doesn’t want to be alone… but then she she started talking about our problems in the bedroom. And, she said it– it was proof that that he shouldn’t be with me… because twice. Now, twice– during… a sensitive moment with donna, she made it happen. I mean, there’s a part of me that wants to be so happy for eric because I know, I know what this must meant to him, but I…

Shauna: But it breaks your heart that it was with donna and not you. So, they haven’t actually…

Quinn: What? No– I mean, I don’t know. They made it sound innocent. But you know the logans. You know what donna is going to turn this into, what brooke is going to turn this into. She actually told eric that his body was sending him a sign that he shouldn’t be with me. And that if he ever wants to be truly happy, he needs to spend the rest of his life with donna.

Donna: Eric, I– I don’t ever want you to feel pressured, okay? Or cornered in any way. Honestly, I’m glad you know how I feel. I’ll always love you. You have to know I’m never gonna do anything to jeopardize your marriage.

Eric: I know that, donna. I absolutely know that. I also know that something significant happened between the two of us and something that I haven’T… I haven’t shared with my wife. Yet.

Brooke: Yet? Eric, are you thinking about maybe not telling her?

Eric: She’s my wife, brooke. I want to be absolutely honest with her. I don’t want to keep any secrets from her and I don’t want her finding out from anyone else.

Brooke: Okay, but it’s not like any of us would say anything–

Eric: Look, before i go home, I wanna spend some time with donna.

Brooke: Well if there’s one thing we can agree upon: The more time you two spend together, the better.

Donna: She doesn’t stop.

Eric: It’s an adorable quality at times.

Donna: And other times, not so much…

Eric: Yeah. Look, I know it comes from a good place.

Donna: Yeah, I mean she’s so happy for you. So am I. But I don’t want what happened between us to complicate your life…

Eric: To complicate my life? Quite the opposite. You’ve given me hope, donna. I’m very grateful for that. I’m so grateful to you. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Shauna: I can see how much you’re hurting…

Quinn: Eric and i are working so hard to put the past behind us and move forward but is brooke gonna let that happen? No. No way. Her sister, donna, has the magic touch, so what does she do? She runs right over here, trying to fill eric’s head with all sorts of… ridiculous ideas!

Shauna: Where are you going? You’re not in a good place to be confronting brooke if that’s what you’re doing.

Quinn: Brooke is going to get what’s coming to her. But I need to get rid of her ammunition first. Donna thinks that she can hit on my husband? She may have gotten a response out of him twice, but it is not going to happen a third time. Trust me.

Donna: I am grateful to you, too. For all the lovely memories. For you being so sweet to me after I just admitted how I felt, anD…

Eric: That admission gave me a lot to think about, donna. You’re the woman who helped me bounce back. You– no, no, you reached to me in a way that i desperately needed. You make me feel like my old self again. You know, donna, whatever happens moving forward, that’s something I’ll never forget.

Carter: Are you trying to play matchmaker for me and quinn? ‘Cause I could’ve sworn you stormed over to my place and chewed me out about our involvement.

Katie: Yeah, yeah, I did do thaT. And I’m not a fan, don’t get me wrong but um, I care about you. And there are things going on that affect you and I know about them and i felt like you deserved to know.

Carter: Say that again.

Katie: You deserve to know.

Carter: You care about me?

Eric: You’re the woman who helped me bounce back. You make me feel like my old self again. I’m very grateful to you.

[Bang]

Donna: Oh! You just um, scared the living daylights out of me.

Quinn: Scared you.

Donna: No, I mean, not really.

Donna: Um, so I’m– I’m gonna just get back to my desk. Excuse me. Uh… I’m not sure what’s going on here…

Quinn: Really? You’re not sure? You have absolutely no idea? Why don’t you think, donna? Think. What is it you might have done recently… that might have upset me? Something that may have been… inappropriate with eric. I know, donna. I know what you’ve been up to with my husband.

Carter: So, you care about me?

Katie: Well… yes, of course, I do. I um. I’ve known you for a very long time. We work together. And, you know what? We have a vey important bond: We’re both card carrying members of the lonely hearts club.

Carter: That is true. My dues paid in full.

Katie: Lifetime membership I’ll have you know.

Carter: Don’t even say that. Don’t say that. It is funny, though. ‘Cause I never feel lonely when I’m with you.

Brooke: Eric?

Eric: Brooke, come in. I thought you might, uh…

Brooke: Might…

Eric: I thought you might be quinn.

Brooke: Oh. Uh, no. Are you really gonna tell quinn what happened between you and donna?

Eric: Yeah, she needs to know.

Brooke: Oh… eric.

Eric: What, you don’t agree? You don’t believe in honesty?

Brooke: No, of course I believe in honesty it’s just quinn. She’s gonna go ballistic. We don’t know how she’s going to react.

Donna: Okay. I’m guessing that eric told you the good news.

Quinn: Good? Wow. Good news. Really?

Donna: Quinn. Let me just–

Quinn: You know, I am so sick of you logan women always interfering in my marriage. First brooke, then katie… now you. I mean, at least the first two, they just wanna talk eric to death but you, you just– you took it to a whole other level.

Donna: Okay, obviously eric didn’t explain this very well to you.

Quinn: Hold on a second donna. I’m gonna ask you a question. You know, woman to woman. Do you have any idea how difficult this has been? Do you? To watch eric suffering, not being able to be the husband he so desperately wants to be? And I’m sure you assume, right, that I was– I was some sort of nagging wife making tons of demands on him. Oh, I’m sure you did but see, here’s the thing. Here is the thing… I was loving. I was caring. And supportive and beyond understanding.

Donna: I don’t want you misinterpreting what happened here. It’s just that eric and I have a lot of… history.

Quinn: Oh no, I don’t care. Oh, I don’t care about your history. That’s over, that’s done with. I– I’m mrs. Eric forrester. What is it with you logan women? I mean like, you’re like, “oh, oh, I see a married man! Oh good! That’s my challenge!”

Donna: I would never do that. Everything that happened was… it was… innocent.

Quinn: Innocent? Innocent? Oh, hah… oh. How stupid do you think I am? Actually, that was a rhetorical question so you can shut up. Listen to me for a second, here, donna. Okay? Hey! Lightning may have struck once for you with eric when you poured honey all over yourself and him but see, the thing is it’s not gonna strike again. Eric’s not gonna fall for it because I’m his wife. So, here’s the thing. I’ll make it clear for you. You’re gonna stay away from my husband. Did you get that? Maybe you didn’T. Let me tell you again. You’re not gonna go anywhere near him–

Donna: Okay…

Quinn: Do you get that? Okay. Let’s try for a third time and I’ll make it really clear for you. You are never going to see my husband ever, ever, again.

Deacon: You want me to help you ruin my daughter’s marriage. All right. I need a drink.

Sheila: No, no. What you need to do is get on board with my plan.

Deacon: Your plan is bonkers, lady. It’s not gonna work.

Sheila: Oh, again with the negativity. Are you ever positive?

Deacon: I’m positive this isn’t gonna work.

Sheila: Look, the forresters, they wanna make us go away, right? But that kiss between us that hope and finn saw, that is gonna get everyone talking.

Finn: Steffy just texted me that she and liam are gonna be here any minute. How do you wanna handle this?

Hope: Uh, well, um, I think we pretty much agree that we need to tell them what we saw.

Finn: Even though we know it’s not gonna do down well? They have been very clear about you and me having nothing to do with your father and my birth mother. Wait until they hear the latest.

Steffy: When who hears the latest? About what?

Liam: Yeah. What’s going on?

Shauna: It’s gonna happen.

Quinn: It almost did last night. Eric came home. He was definitely in the mood. I mean, I thought his problem wasn’t gonna be a problem anymore, that we were gonna finally make love. But, unfortunately– I mean, it’s just–it’s-it’s so frustrating for both of us. Eric has the desire. He just– he just isn’t able to.

Donna: You went home to quinn and-and nothing happened?

Eric: No. I was so hoping that last night would be– that I could finally be the husband that I haven’t been able to be to quinn for so many months.

Donna: Maybe you’re putting too much pressure on yourself, eric. Maybe quinn’s putting too much pressure on you.

Eric: No, no, no. Quinn’s been completely loving and supportive to me. She has, the whole time. And still I keep letting her down. She has to wonder why I was so excited about– about last night when I came to her, but I couldn’t– I couldn’t tell her– I couldn’t tell her what happened in this office before I went home between the two of us– that it happened with you… and only with you.

Quinn: At least the desire is there. He’s not giving up.

Shauna: But you want it more.

Quinn: Of course I want it more. We both want more. I mean, I wanna feel that kind of passion and intimacy with my husband again. But you gotta admit, this was a big step.

Shauna: Absolutely. I do wonder, though, what changed in eric for him to think he can make love to you?

Donna: Eric, you know how I feel about quinn, but I am genuinely sorry that things didn’t go the way you had hoped.

Eric: Thank you. Donna, last night after– after what should have happened between quinn and me did not happen, I– I just laid down in bed and I-I thought over and over the same thing in my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened here yesterday… between you and me.

Deacon: Okay, uh, I get that you’ve put a lot of thought into creating this plan that somehow people think that we’re in love and it’s gonna magically transform hope and finn into a couple. But, sheila, it ain’T.

Sheila: There you go again with the negativity. You are such a loser.

Deacon: What you don’t like is when people call you on your crazy schemes and tell you that they’re doomed to fail.

Sheila: Fine. You go ahead and doubt me, but I always get what I want eventually.

Deacon: You as my girlfriend?

Sheila: With all the fringe benefits.

Deacon: You can’t– you can’t be serious.

Sheila: You’ve been locked away a long time, deacon, without any kind of female companionship. Wouldn’t you like to have your way with me? Or better yet… maybe I’ll have my way with you. Pshooo.

[Laughing]

Finn: We were just talking about lunch yesterday at il giardino’S.

Liam: Oh, yeah. Forgot to ask how that went.

Steffy: Yeah. How’s the new menu? It’s not too, like, experimental? I hate when they do that.

Finn: Experimental. No. Um, but we…did see something out of the ordinary.

Steffy: What?

Hope: Sheila.

Steffy: What?

Finn: And deacon.

Steffy: You didn’t speak to them, did you?

Hope: We had to.

Liam: Whoa.

Finn: Just hear us out, okay? Wait until you hear what we’ve learned.

The best kept skincare secret?

Quinn: [Sighs] I want us to be like this again. Happy. Smiling. Eric feeling like his old self.

Shauna: Sounds like he almost was.

Quinn: Eric really believed that we were gonna make love last night. And when it didn’t happen, he was– well, you could see how disappointed he was.

Shauna: I imagine you reassured him.

Quinn: I held him in my arms, and I said the same thing I say to him every time. “I love you. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.”

Shauna: Easier said than done. I’m still curious, though. If– if eric really felt that way, what changed? What happened to make him feel like he could kickstart his love life with his wife again?

Donna: Did I ever tell you I could see the future?

Eric: No.

Donna: What? You seem skeptical.

Eric: Yeah. ‘Cause in all the time we were married, you never mentioned this to me.

Donna: Yeah. Well, you know, a girl has to have some secrets, right?

Eric: Well, I assume you’re bringing this up because, um–

Donna: Because my crystal ball tells me that it won’t be long before you and quinn reconnect.

Eric: You really believe that, don’t you?

Donna: Oh, I do. For your sake, not quinn’S.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. I understand that.

Donna: Even though I’ve never been a fan of quinn’s, I had hoped that she would make you truly happy. That you’d find peace and contentment in your marriage despite quinn’S… very checkered past. And if she really loved you, she would be the wife that you deserveD. To never cause you hurt or a moment’s pain. And she did. She has. And that broke my heart.

[Sighs] I know you took her back, and I can’t say I fully understand why. All that matters right now, eric, is you. You. The man that you are. And I just want joy and happiness for you. And that’s what I will always want for you.

Deacon: You got me. You had your fun flirting. Playtime’s over.

Sheila: [Laughs] Oh, deacon, deacon, deacon. You really have no idea what I’m capable of.

Deacon: Believe me when I tell you this. I hope I never find out. Look, I’m still not understanding what this supposed romance of ours has to do with getting your son and my daughter together.

Sheila: Well, then you need to pay better attention. Because when hope and finn announce this little scandalous news, people are gonna be very, very upset, especially steffy and liam. And I am counting on our children to defend us.

Deacon: And why would they do that?

Sheila: Because despite their doubts about us, we’re their parents, and we’ve been absent from their lives for so long. They-they want to trust us. They-they want to believe we’re redeemable. And sooner or later, that’s gonna cause tension in their marriages. But that’s gonna clear a way for us to be in all of their lives.

Liam: Okay, can we– let’s just back it up a second. Were deacon and sheila there together?

Finn: Sharing a table.

Steffy: How did that happen?

Hope: Look, the point is we saw them, and, uh–

Steffy: What, you felt compelled to speak to them?

Finn: Steffy, just– hold on a second. Hope and I both know how you and liam feel. And under normal circumstances, we would’ve just left. But they weren’t just together. They were… together together.

Liam: Yeah, I don’t know– what does that mean?

Steffy: You’re not making any sense.

Hope: Look, my dad, deacon, and finn’s birth mother, sheila, are involved.

Finn: Romantically involved.

Liam: What?

Steffy: What?

Hope: I mean, we didn’t believe it either, but then we saw them kissing.

Steffy: Kissing?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Are you serious?

Finn: Yeah. We were as shocked as you guys are.

Hope: And I’m sorry, but I-I couldn’t just– after I saw that, I just had to go over and confront them.

Liam: Oh, my god. Ju–would–did–okay. Okay. Okay. What did they say?

Hope: Well, uh, sheila said that, uh, she and my dad are in love.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Sheila: Ian s tt you’re a bit dubious. So, how do you think we should handle this? Are you into fire and fury something a little more subtle?Apheanake themt?A: I really don’t knowif you really love your daughter and granddaughter. You say that you want to tothns thopand here I’m givecreon explation and–

Deacon: Reason–reasonable?Ouple?Sheila, that’s nuts. Because I’m willing to bet that the buzz has already started, that our names will be out there, good or bad.

Deacon: Oh, it’ll be bad. Yeah, you can bet your dark little heart on that one.

Sheila: Yeah, but at least our names are gonna be in the conversation. We’ll be relevant. Not on the sidelines like we are right now.

Steffy: In love?

Hope: That’s what they said.

Liam: Deacon and sheila?

Finn: I know it sounds a little, but–

Liam: [Stammers]

Steffy: You’re not buying it, are you?

Liam: I certainly hope they’re not buying it, guys. Obviously this is a con.

Steffy: Yeah, this is sheila and deacon we’re talking about. This is some sort of sick game.

Hope: I understand your skepticism, and I have it too–

Liam: You under–this– hope, skepticism doesn’t begin to cover it. They’re up to something, okay? And it’s not good.

Steffy: It never is when it comes to sheila and deacon. I hope you see that.

Liam: Please tell us you see that.

Eric: You’re a breath of fresh air.

Donna: [Chuckles]

Eric: Exactly what I need these days.

Donna: Well, I’m not going anywhere. I’m right where I want to be.

Eric: Yeah? Right out there at the reception desk? Sharing that desk with pam?

Donna: Pammy and i have become…friends.

Eric:. Uh-huh.

Donna: Sort of, you know. Plus we have one thing in common. We both want to protect you.

Eric: You and pam.

Donna: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Both believe that I need protection from quinn.

Donna: It’s your life. I am not gonna harp on this. Your decision to do whatever you want.

Eric: I appreciate that. I also appreciate your candor, and your, uh… your smiles and your humor. All of it.

Donna: Really?

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Ooh!

Eric: And your poise.

Donna: [Laughing] I’m so clumsy. I–I always will be. I’m–I’m sorry.

Eric: You dutifully man that reception desk out there. And you know that I’m married to a woman of whom you do not approve, and you say that you, uh… that you’re still in love with me.

Donna: Just like I’ll always be clumsy, I’ll always love my honey bear.

[Both chuckle]

Brushing only reaches

25% of your mouth.

Eric: Let me ask you something. Ridge, brooke, and katie all believe that, uh… I stay with quinn because I don’t really want to be alone. And… sometimes I think maybe that is the case. What do you think?

Donna: Eric… you will never be alone. So many people love you and– and care for you. Me most of all. We’ll always be here for you, no matter what.

Eric: Come here.

Liam: [Laughs] Okay, okay. How do sheila and deacon even know each other?

Steffy: Let me guess. They randomly bumped into each other on the day deacon was released from prison and they just… fell madly in love? Is that what they’re trying to make you believe?

Hope: Sheila actually started writing my dad letters when he was in prison.

Liam: Oh. Okay, yeah. No, that–that makes perfect sense. I’m sure deacon needed another pen pal besides his own daughter while he was behind bars and he just randomly chose sheila, of all people. Come on, guys!

Steffy: I know! Why didn’t you call them out?

Finn: We did. We questioned their relationship. We asked them the same questions you’re asking us.

Hope: Yes. I mean, we’re not completely naive, and you two, sorry, you weren’t there, and as unlikely as it may be, sheila and deacon, they seemed pretty sincere.

Finn: They seemed in… in love. I mean, I don’t know, even before we went over there.

Steffy: Oh, please. Oh, my god. I am not hearing this. Hope, finn, you cannot fall for this. This is ridiculous.

Finn: [Sighs]

Liam: She’s right. Just–just for our sake, for the family’s sake, whatever sheila and deacon are up to, just stay away. That’s it. Stay away.

Sheila: Take a look at this. I photoshopped it. One big, happy family.

Deacon: When did you do this?

Sheila: Last night. I couldn’t sleep. I was so… excited, you know.

[Whispers] About the family.

Deacon: Sheila…

Sheila: Honey, I know, I know what you’re gonna say. I–I might be getting ahead of myself and maybe I am, but this is going to happen. Finn and hope, hayes and beth, they’re our family, and no one’s gonna deny us that. I mean, forresters can try to vilify us and–and try to make hope and finn hate us, but we’re not going to let that happen. Our children, our grandchildren, our family… this is gonna happen. I’m gonna make that happen. Nothing and no one will stand in my way.

Eric: Donna, I wanna be sure you don’t feel uncomfortable about what just happened here between us…again.

Donna: Eric, we used to be married once. Look, I don’t wanna us to feel awkward about what just happened here. You had a–a natural reaction.

Eric: A reaction I wasn’t sure I was ever gonna feel again until just now… because of you.

Donna: I– I didn’t do anything really. I–

Eric: You’re just being you. Warm and caring.

Donna: Clumsy. Don’t forget clumsy.

Eric: And clumsy. Yeah. I love how comfortable you are in your own skin. And you–you make everyone around you feel the same way. For a long time now, the– the thought of intimacy just gave me stress and tension, but you reminded me that, uh– that it can be fun. That’s exactly what I needed.

Brooke: …Got everything off your list.

Katie: [Chattering]

Brooke: Hi.

Eric: Hey.

Thomas: I like it, but why not take it further? Right? Like, take the back down so you can expose the shoulder.

Zende: Says the guy trying to corner the market on restraint with his design.

Thomas: I’m playing with a classic silhouette.

Zende: You wanna play, that’s fine. You wanna make a statement, I’d cinch it all the way up, like a corset.

Thomas: Okay, so what you’re saying is good enough is not good enough for what we’re doing here. It’s a good thing I know that we both want what’s best for hope for the future.

Zende: Yeah, that’s the one thing we can agree on.

Thomas: Not the only thing. We both agree on how special paris is.

Paris: Sounds like you two are having a meeting of the minds.

Thomas: Ah, critiquing each other’s designs.

Paris: Yeah, I heard. You need a referee? I can call pam in here.

Thomas: Pam? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. You’re not volunteering yourself?

Paris: Oh, no way.

Zende: Thomas and i weren’t arguing. We were actually just talking about you.

Paris: Yeah. I heard. And I think you two are pretty special, too. Especially my sexy boyfriend.

Zende: Mmm.

Eric: I adore you. You’ve brought so much joy and passion into my life. I’m just afraid I’m not gonna be able to return that in kind.

Katie: Um, are we interrupting anything?

Donna: No. Not at all.

Brooke: If you need the room, we can come back.

Eric: No, actually, uh, I should go.

Brooke: Oh.

Katie: Well, don’t rush out on our account.

Brooke: Is something wrong?

Eric: No, not at all. As a matter of fact, uh, the day started out kind of not so good, but your sister here is a real breath of fresh air. I need to get home to my wife.

Donna: Yeah. You should go.

Eric: Yeah. Thanks, donna.

Thomas: Paris is the one doing me a favor.

Paris: Letting you stay in your own apartment?

Thomas: I’m just staying there till my realtor finds me the house of my dreams.

Zende: So, the new roomies are getting along.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: My cuz isn’t driving you crazy yet?

Paris: [Scoffs] No. And besides, we’re both so busy. We’re not even home that often.

Thomas: That’s true. I think I see you more at work than I do at home.

Zende: Glad to hear it.

Thomas: Glad to– zende, you don’t have a problem with us living together?

Zende: No. No, not at all. But if you’re seeing my girlfriend more often than I am, that doesn’t make me a very good boyfriend. I want paris to know that she’s my top priority.

Brooke: You don’t have to tell us exactly what eric said. Just tell us what’s going on.

Donna: Um, nothing.

Katie: Oh, oh, oh, oh. Nothing that you wanna talk about. But we can see that it’s clearly something.

Brooke: Yes, we can. You’ve never been able to lie to your sisters.

Donna: Oh, my god. You guys are like high school, you know? It’s like, “we saw you talking with eric.”

[Clattering]

Brooke: Oh!

Katie: Nervous much?

Donna: Yes. You’re making me nervous, the two of you, with all these questions.

Brooke: Well, you haven’t answered one of them. Why not?

Donna: [Groans] You know, some conversations are meant to be private.

Katie: Oh.

Brooke: So telling eric the truth about your feelings, that did change things, didn’t it? He was finally able to see, to realize that you’re the woman that he should be with.

Donna: Brooke, he just went home to his wife, okay?

Katie: Are you disappointed about that?

Donna: Yes. No. No. I–I don’t know. I just–

[Sighs] It’s what he wants.

Katie: Okay. You know, if you’re not gonna tell us what’s going on, then maybe I think, brooke, we should call eric. We should just ask him, right?

Brooke: Yes.

Katie: Let’s me get my…

Donna: No. Don’T. Stop.

Katie: No?

Donna: Maybe something more did happen.

[Sighs] But you gotta promise me that you’re not gonna say anything to anyone. Okay?

Katie: Okay.

Donna: Especially quinn. Because if she finds out I had something to do with this, she just might kill me.

Brooke: Oh, please. I hardly ever talk to quinn.

Donna: Okay. Well–[Sighs] Last night I did, um, what you said, you know. You said tell eric I love him and how precious is he to me. And, um, it could’ve been really awkward and embarrassing, but it–it wasn’T. It–it actually wasn’t at all. More happened. You know. [Sighs] I didn’t lie. I didn’t lie. He did go home to quinn last night. He did. But, um, more happened here at the office that I–and I wouldn’t be telling you now. But it, um, kind of just happened again.

[Sighs] Okay, I don’t think you’re following me here. Eric and I were reminiscing about our feelings for each other, about our relationship, our past. And we hugged. And…it must’ve… aroused some emotions in him, because… he had A…reaction.

Katie: What sort of reaction?

Donna: Remember the thing that he was having a problem with? It kind of momentarily… resolved itself.

Brooke: Oh. With you?

Donna: Mm-hmm.

Quinn: Hey.

Eric: Hey.

Quinn: What are you doing home so soon?

Eric: Well, I’m looking for my beautiful wife, but there she is.

Quinn: There she is.

Eric: Is shauna gone? Is she still…

Quinn: Yeah. No. She left a while ago, and, well, my afternoon meeting was canceled, so I thought I’d do some work at home.

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Quinn: Unless, uh, you have something else in mind.

Eric: Oh, I do. I do. It’s all I’ve been thinking about all the way home.

Quinn: Yeah?

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: Look at you. A smile on your face.

Eric: Yeah?

Quinn: Pep in your step. What’s going on, mr. Forrester? Something happen at the office? See you later teeth stains.

Paris: What are you talking about? You’re a fantastic boyfriend.

Zende: Yeah, you’ve done a lot more for me than I’ve done for you. Wine and candlelight, I’m your man. But, I mean, come on, that dodgers game?

Thomas: That was one heck of a surprise.

Zende: It’s nothing compared to the last one. Have you told him about the scholarship fund?

Thomas: Yeah, I gotta say, though, it does sound a little, like, egotistical. The zende forrester scholarship fund.

Zende: Yeah, okay. Fine, fine. But it benefits kids from the orphanage where my parents found me. I still can’t believe it.

Paris: Well, I wanted to honor you. I know how much where you came from means to you.

Zende: Yeah, but… you’re the one who set it up. Doing something so amazing for me for those kids? Well, that’s what you do, isn’t it? You make things better. I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have you in my life.

Eric: Mmm.

Quinn: [Laughs] You weren’t at work for very long. What got you so revved up?

Eric: “Revved up”? Is that how I seem to you? Revved up.

Quinn: [Laughs] You know what? I think I need to start paying more attention during those budget meetings because I never had any idea that they were so scintillating.

Eric: Yeah, this was not a budget meeting, believe me.

Quinn: Well, whatever it is, I like it. Things have been so heavy between us and it’S… it’s so nice to see my husband so energized, especially after the way you left this morning.

Eric: Well, things are a lot different now.

Quinn: Yeah. Good. Because I–I didn’t want you to go to work feeling discouraged, because I wasn’T. You know, I know last night, it–it wasn’t the outcome that we expected, but, I could sense your desire and your willingness to try.

Eric: Yeah?

Quinn: And it’s gonna happen.

Eric: I feel like I’m– I’m gonna be the man I used to be. All the passion I used to feel, I wanted to bring that home to you.

Quinn: [Laughs] Oh!

Brooke: You and eric?

Katie: So, he had A… breakthrough with you, just now. Right here.

Brooke: Wait, so the two of you have been…

Donna: Oh, no. No, no, no, not like that. We–we were just… reminiscing.

Katie: About your feelings for him?

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, and his for me, and you know, about the past.

Donna: And somehow, that led to his…breakthrough.

Donna: [Sighs] Eric knows I would never do anything to undermine his marriage, despite my opinion about quinn. But…I think we’re just able to relax around each other, you know? No judgment, no pressure and I–I think that’s how he was able to… you know. Look, we were both shocked. And it could’ve been, like, weird or awkward or uncomfortable but it wasn’t, because I saw how relieved he was, you know? To finally have that glimmer of hope. It was really significant for him.

Brooke: And for you, too, donna. I mean, you triggered that feeling in him.

Donna: Well, no, I– uh, no. Nothing changed between us.

Katie: How can you say that?

Donna: Because he just raced home to his wife, again, like last time.

Katie: Oh, honey.

Donna: No, it’s okay. Quinn’s his wife and that’s who he wants to share the feelings with. Maybe this time they’ll be a–

Katie: What do you mean? Wait, ho-hold on. Back up. What do you mean, “maybe this time”? It–you mean–

Brooke: Wait, you mean… he didn’t feel for quinn what he felt for you?

Donna: No. [Weak chuckle] Last night, eric went home to quinn, and… nothing happened.

Brooke: Of course not! Because he doesn’t love quinn! He loves you! Don’t settle. Start your day with secret.

Donna: All right, stop. You two are reading way too much into this.

Katie: Eric had a breakthrough with you, not with quinn. That is a fact.

Donna: Okay, but it doesn’t mean he’s in love with me.

Brooke: Well, he obviously feels something for you more than he feels for quinn. It wasn’t a fluke, donna. You said it happened twice.

Donna: Because there’s no pressure with me. It’s not going anywhere.

Brooke: Well, could it?

Donna: Okay, stop. I am not a homewrecker.

Katie: No, no, no. Of course not. Of course not.

Brooke: But you have very strong feelings for eric and obviously he has very strong feelings for you. Eric can’t waste another minute on quinn. This has gone on long enough. And the problem won’t go away, because the problem is quinn. He’s gotta realize that by now. The woman he should be with isn’t quinn, donna–it’s you.

Donna: Wait, what– where are you going?

Katie: Seems like she’s on a mission.

Donna: Oh…

Zende: What do you have planned for tonight?

Paris: Nothing, really.

Zende: You want to have dinner?

Paris: Yeah, I’d like that.

Zende: Oh, you’re gonna love it. I’m thinking of doing something special. Intimate. Just the two of us.

Thomas: You know, if you want me to clear out, I, uh– I can just give you the apartment to yourself.

Zende: No, no, no, it’s okay, man. It’s fine. We’ll just use the guest house. I know eventually we’ll be spending a lot of time at paris’s but tonight, I want to get as much privacy with this lady as I can.

Donna: [Groans] Why does brooke have to get involved in everything?

Katie: Because she’s trying to help you.

Donna: Oh…

Katie: And eric. And I know you don’t want to get your hopes up, but… I think that man really might love you.

Brooke: Eric?

Eric: Brooke, hi.

Brooke: Hey. Is quinn here?

Eric: She’s not here for the moment. Why?

Brooke: Okay, well, I need to talk to you about something… sensitive. Katie and I were talking to donna after you left, and…it seemed like something was going on there.

Eric: Well, your sister and i are very close to each other. We, uh–we have a great deal of respect for each other, so we were talking.

Brooke: Well, she didn’t want to say anything, but we… dragged it out of her.

Eric: I wish you hadn’t done that.

Brooke: Eric. [Laughs] What are you talking about? This is great news. You have to be relieved.

[Laughs] I know I am. I’m overjoyed for you. You haven’t been very happy. You’ve been stuck in this awful marriage with quinn, and this gives you a glimpse of what life beyond this is like.

Eric: I think you’re misinterpreting what happened there today.

Brooke: No, I don’t think I am, eric. It should be pretty clear to you, too. Your psyche is trying to tell you something and you need to listen. It’s not that you don’t have passion or desire. It’s just that you don’t have that with quinn. You’ve been a very good husband. She betrayed you, and you forgave her and you took her back.

Eric: I won’t be chastised for that, brooke.

Brooke: Eric, that’s not why I’m here. I know you don’t want to be alone, and you think if you give up quinn that you will be. That’s the only reason you’re staying committed to her. But that’s not love. Okay, maybe you loved her at some time in the past, but you don’t anymore. I mean, if you really, truly loved her, unconditionally, you would’ve been able to show her last night. And don’t blame donna for this, okay? She didn’t want to tell us, but we pressured her. So you have to see what this means, right? You couldn’t with quinn, but you could with donna. Twice! Eric… that means quinn isn’t the woman you’re supposed to be with. The woman that could make you truly, truly happy is my sister, donna.

Brooke: Wow! You’re here bright and early.

Donna: Oh. Uh yeah, just you know, got a lot of work. Figured I’d get a jump start.

Brooke: Eric’s not in yet?

Donna: No, um, must’ve had a big night. With quinn.

Quinn: Mmm… my gorgeous, sexy husband.

Hope: So, yesterday was a strange turn of events.

Finn: I’d say. Where do we even begin? It’s all I could think about last night.

Hope: Thank you for inviting me over because I have been dying to talk to you about this especially before i bring it up to liam.

Finn: Yeah, I haven’t mentioned anything to steffy either.

Hope: Yeah, I am still trying to process everything…

Finn: What the hell was that, hope? We went to il giardino to have a bite for lunch and run into deacon and my mother, the two of them are together?

Hope: So, do you think it’s true? I mean, my dad and sheila? Are they really a couple?

Sheila: Good morning, deacon. How’s that couch treating you, huh?

Deacon: Well, it’s a hell of a lot better than sleeping on the street. That’s for sure.

Sheila: You’re welcome.

Deacon: All right, don’t act like you’re letting me crash here because i don’t have any cash. We both know it’s so that I can sign on to your crazy scheme.

Sheila: You know what, I really thought that you wanted to be a part of hope and your granddaughter’s lives.

Deacon: I do. I just don’t have a hell of a lot to offer right now.

Sheila: You’re her only father and… and we both have rights. Finn wants to see me. I– I can see it in his eyes and I know that hope feels the same way about you.

Deacon: Okay. Fine. But that still doesn’t explain your little stunt yesterday. What the hell did you kiss me for and tell everyone that we’re in love?

Deacon: Just so we’re on the same page, here: The kiss, telling everyone that we’re in love– that’s all part of the master plan, right?

Sheila: Actually, I didn’t have a master plan so I improvised.

Deacon: By kissing me?

Sheila: Yes. Because there’s a bond between a parent and a child and i refuse to allow the forresters to stand in our way and before you know it, finn and hope, they won’t allow it either. They were kissing. Your dad and my birth mother going at it right in the middle of the restaurant.

Hope: “Well, the heart wants what it wants.”

Finn: Well, this whole situation is just bizarre.

Hope: Yeah, I didn’t even know they really knew each other and suddenly they’re in love?

Finn: Do we buy it? I mean, do we believe them?

Brooke: Why do you think they had a big night?

Donna: Oh, I don’t know. It’s just that eric was in such a good mood yesterday and in fact, I haven’t seen him that upbeat in a really long time.

Ah, thank you for putting a smile on his face. Although, I’m sure it went away the minute he went home to his dreadful wife.

Donna: Who knows? Maybe they, uh, were able to reconnect. By the way, it was really good to see him so happy.

Quinn: Don’t be sad.

Eric: I was so hoping that last night would be about us.

Quinn: Look. But didn’t you see how happy it made me that you were so excited to even try again?

Eric: Yeah, I did.

Quinn: Yeah–

[Knocking]

Shauna: Hi. Sorry, the door was unlocked.

Eric: It’s alright, shauna. Come in. It’s always good to see you. Look, I was– uh, going to the office anyway. I have stuff to do. I’ll see ya later, okay?

Quinn: Okay. Alright. Have a good day.

Eric: Okay. Bye.

Shauna: Bye. Well? How’d it go last night?

Quinn: Well, I thought we were gonna have a breakthrough. But nothing’s changed. Eric still can’t be intimate.

Hope: Your mom and my dad dating…

Finn: You’re having major doubts.

Hope: Yes! Because I know them and their histories.

Finn: So you think they’re playing us, making this all up.

Hope: I think it’s too random.

Finn: I mean, I don’t disagree. But how do we explain the fact that they were already at il giardino when we got there? There’s no way they could have known that we were coming. We only decided to go at the last minute.

Hope: Okay, that, I can’t explain. Uh… maybe it was just a coincidence?

Finn: I know that we need to tread carefully. And we can’t take their word at face value. But I’d like to believe that sheila and deacon are being truthful.

Deacon: You wanna explain to me why we’re acting like we’re in a romance novel, here?

Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you? We are better together.

Deacon: Sheila, together you and I, we’re like a– a toxic waste dump.

Sheila: You are never gonna get through to her on your own.

Deacon: I’ll take my chances.

Sheila: Oh really, what with ridge and brooke denying access and then there is liam… hope’s gatekeeper?

Deacon: My daughter has a mind of her own.

Sheila: Oh, does she? So she’s been calling you trying set up meetings with you, I’m sure or does she still hang up the phone every time you call? Deacon. She’s not doing this because she wants to, it’s that family that is doing everything in their power to keep you away from her!

Deacon: Okay, okay, okay– I get it, genius, I understand that. What I don’t understand is why you kissed me.

Sheila: Didn’t you see what I saw? My son and your daughter. Imagine if they were involved. Imagine if they were together!

Shauna: Sounds like things could’ve gone better. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Ugh, I actually had my hopes up. Eric did too, you know? I mean, he was raring to go. And then it just fizzled out.

Shauna: There’s always tonight. And tomorrow night. It’ll happen.

Quinn: I hope so. Just seeing how much eric wanted me… and then seeing his disappointment.

Shauna: We all want to feel desired. And eric clearly was hot to trot for you last night.

Quinn: I gotta find out what that man ate for lunch because he was raring to go.

Shauna: I’m glad you’re not giving up.

Quinn: I’m never gonna give up on eric or our marriage. C’mon, I’ve learned that lesson, right? I mean. I’m never gonna take it for granted again. What we share is so remarkable. We have jumped through hoop after hoop after hoop and if we can’t make it through this last hoop– me having an affair with carter…

Shauna: And you did make it through.

Quinn: Yes, I know, and it actually recommitted us to each other even more. Much to his family’s dismay.

Shauna: Hmpf.

Quinn: Especially brooke who’s always out to undermine my marriage.

Eric: Hey.

Brooke: Good morning, eric.

Eric: Morning, brooke.

Brooke: Did you see donna at her desk?

Eric: No, I didn’T. She wasn’t there.

Brooke: Oh… well, she came in early, I think hoping to see you. She also said that you and quinn may have had a big night.

Eric: She said that?

Brooke: Eric, I know these last few months have been difficult for you… dealing with your issue. I’m sure it’s very frustrating.

Eric: Yes, it has been.

Brooke: Eric, I’m sorry. I hate that you’re faced with this kind of challenge. But I’m sure that you’ll overcome it, somehow. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it’s not about you? I’m not entirely convinced that there’s anything wrong with you.

Eric: If only that were the case. What if it isn’t you? What if it’s quinn?

Start your day with crest 3d

Deacon: Whatever demented thoughts you’ve got going on in that head of yours…

Sheila: Oh, would you just try to imagine it, deacon?

Deacon: Imagine hope and finn, together?

Sheila: Yes! Yes, because if they were a pair, we’d get to see our kids and hold those grandbabies as much as we wanted to!

Deacon: Alright, you are talking crazy, now.

Sheila: Maybe. But maybe not. Because when steffy, and liam, and brooke, and the rest of the forresters find out about our little “love affair”… they’re going to be up in arms.

Deacon: Sheila, that is the last thing that I need. I’m not looking to cause any more problems for hope.

Sheila: No, that’s exactly what you need to do. They want to see us. They want to be a part of their parent’s lives. But they’re being forbidden to see us! They’re being shamed for wanting to.

Deacon: Did you see what I saw at il giardino? ‘Cause they didn’t seem real receptive to our new found love. I mean, they weren’t all warm and fuzzy.

They are not going to abandon us. They are going to defend us. And when they do, it’s going to cause trouble in their marriages to steffy and liam. Deacon, who knows? My son and your daughter– they could end up looking at each other with a fresh pair of eyes.

Finn: I’m not naive. I know I didn’t live all the history with my birth mom. And I’ve only heard bits and pieces about your dad. But staging a lunch yesterday? And then fabricating their relationship? For what? Like, how would they benefit from that?

Hope: I mean, obviously I want to believe my father. We were making really good headway when he was in jail. I was writing him all those letters.

Finn: You’re the only family that deacon has. Would he really jeopardize all of this progress by lying about an affair? I mean, I really hope not. But uh, I guess time will tell.

Hope: Yeah, and meanwhile, liam and steffy both don’t want us talking to our parents. I mean… do we tell them what we saw yesterday? And if so, how will they react?

Brooke: I blame quinn.

Eric: Well, that’s– that’s ridiculous. Brooke–

Brooke: Eric. Look. I don’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable and I know this is a very sensitive subject but I know you. And for as long as I’ve known you, you’ve been an extremely passionate man. And now you’re with quinn and suddenly there’s no more passion there? It just doesn’t make sense.

Eric: Well, it doesn’t make sense to blame quinn for my physical condition.

Brooke: Okay, well maybe it’s emotional. Maybe you have a mental block? I’m sure you enjoy quinn’s companionship, but I don’t think you really love her. I mean, how can you after all of the things that she’s done to you? There’s a lot of people out there who love you and adore you, and nobody more than my sister. She told me about her feelings for you. She told me that she told you. I really think that she could bring happiness and joy and passion back into your life. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Hope: Liam and I promised that we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other. Especially after…

Finn: No, same. And uh, I feel like I– I owe it to steffy to tell her about our parents.

Hope: Besides, it’s not like we’re doing anything wrong. We didn’t know they were going to be at the restaurant when we just happened to be there and I’m sorry but, I had to confront them.

Finn: No, yeah, totally. It’s just, I’ve already asked you not to mention sheila’s most recent text. I don’t want to make you feel obligated about keeping this quiet too.

Hope: Look, I’m more… I’m more so worried about how our families are going to react. I mean, those two, they’re– they’re already explosive topics just on their own…

Finn: It’s best, I think for everyone if it comes directly from us.

Hope: I agree. But the real question is… are sheila and deacon being honest?

Deacon: You’re certifiable.

Sheila: Oh, come on. Why is that such an outrageous idea?

Deacon: My daughter and your son.

Sheila: I mean, look– look at how cute they were together, why not?

Deacon: For one thing, they’re already married. To other people!

Sheila: So what?

Deacon: So what? Sheila, they’ve got families! They’ve got– they’ve got children.

Sheila: They are beautiful together. It just– just–

Deacon: “They’re beautiful together?” Are you off your rocker? Finn has a new born child at home. My daughter’s not a homewrecker. She’s not a cheater. She’s got morals.

Sheila: Well, that makes one of you.

Deacon: Listen to me, if you think that hope is gonna leave her husband, then you’re crazy if that’s what you’re hinting at.

Sheila: I am saying think of the possibilities. If they– if they found a path to one another, that would just pave the way for us.

Deacon: See, this is the problem. All you do is think of you, yourself, and then you again.

Sheila: No. I don’t! I’m not saying this is gonna happen overnight. It’s not gonna be easy. But we have to work together! We have to stick together.

Quinn: Those logan women are not worth my time.

Shauna: Exactly. Focus on what happened last night. Or almost happened. That there’s still real potential there.

Quinn: You’re right. You’re right. I don’t know what got into eric and made him believe that he could make love to me again. But I am grateful for it.

Donna: I know you mean well, sis, but I don’t want to put eric on the spot.

Brooke: Okay. I understand. I just want you both to be happy. And we both know how much donna loves you. So just, open yourself up to her. Doesn’t hurt to give it a chance.

Donna: Okay. I– I meant what I said. I never want you to feel pressured.

Eric: So, you were here early. You were um, brooke said you were waiting for me? You wanted to see me?

Donna: Oh, you were on my mind and, you know, I was too busy thinking about what might be happening with you and quinn to get much sleep.

Eric: Yeah. I was thinking about you last night, too.

Donna: Oh, wait. You didn’t tell quinn about, you know, what– our– our breakthrough here?

Eric: No.

Donna: Good. Okay, well, you know. She must have been really overjoyed last night

Eric: You always want what’s best for me, don’t you? I always feel so supported and understood by you. Thank you.

Donna: Well, you’re my honey bear–

Eric: Yes, I am–

Donna: I am always gonna have your back.

Eric: And I’ll always have yours, too. You’re the bright star in my dark skies, these days. Look, I wish I had better news for you but it didn’t really happen with quinn last night. I did not have the breakthrough with my wife that I wanted. I only had that with you, with you, donna.

Donna: Reminds me of better times. Times with you.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Donna: You’re remembering.

Eric: Yeah, I am. Donna, I’m more than remembering.

Quinn: There’s been no change in eric’s condition. I was hoping there’d be a change, but…

Shauna: I’m so sorry.

Quinn: I’m not complaining. I’d happily be with eric no matter what.

Shauna: It’s obvious you love him. But what about you and carter and that whole arrangement? How are you feeling about him?

Brooke: Quinn is more devious than ever. She’s not to be trusted on any level.

Pam: Quinn’s motives have always been questionable.

Charlie: Yeah, I don’t think I could say we ever really trusted her.

Brooke: Keep that guard up.&

Pam: Has something happened?

Brooke: You don’t betray and disrespect the person that you love.

Pam: I hate hearing that. Eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: Yeah. Preaching to the choir.

Pam: Well, it could go both ways, though.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Pam: Look, I know that eric did love quinn once upon a time. But after everything that she’s done like over all the years, do we even know how eric really feels about her now?

Hope: I can’t believe what I’m hearing, let alone seeing.

Deacon: Trust me, I get it. It’s shocking.

Sheila: Actually a wonderful surprise.

Hope: You and my father in love.

Sheila: Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Hope: Aww.

Well, I am not buying this, not even for a second.

Finn: I ju– I agree. This is beyond shocking. Your father and my birth mother. This is just… this is impossible.

Hope: That’s what I’m saying.

Finn: But why would they lie about it?

Hope: Because it’s sheila.

Sheila: We’re here. And it’s not a lie. I mean, no one was more surprised about this than we were. Falling in love was not an option– certainly not with deacon. But I got to know him. I got to know him through his letters. And just as I saw deacon, he saw me. And here we are.

Hope: Just like that.

Sheila: Who’s got time to waste. Right, sweetheart?

Deacon: Ah… can’t argue with that, right? It just happened fast.

Quinn: You’re my best friend, I’m not going to lie to you. Despite everything, of course I still think about carter, how can I not?

Shauna: You two fell hard for each other.

Quinn: I love carter, and I always will but… we can’t be together anymore. I’m committed to my husband.

Shauna: And I respect that so much, but it’s gotta be so difficult for you knowing that your husband may never be able to make love to you again.

Eric: Donna, I can’t believe what’s happened.

Donna: Is it–

Eric: This… I have felt something that I thought I was never gonna feel in my life again.

Donna: What a waste that would’ve been.

Eric: Yeah. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I can’T… would you mind, um, if i just held you for a minute?

Donna: Are you kidding? Yes, yes! Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for this for so long.

[]

Hope: What is it with you, sheila? First, out of, I don’t know, every single woman in the entire world, you just turn out to be finn’s birth mother, you know, steffy forrester’s husband. Now you’re saying that you became prison pen pals with my dad and just happened to fall in love?

Sheila: I know! I know. It sounds crazy! But it’s just, those little things– special like finn and deacon, you know, that’s what makes life exciting and precious. You know, you never know what’s going to be around that next corner for you. You two should really take a lesson here. When circumstances get really difficult, you hang in there.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Sheila: ‘Cause life can change on a dime.

Hope: Wow, so this is not only a new and improved sheila, it’s optimistic sheila too.

Sheila: Well, why shouldn’t it be with everything that I’ve been given, hope? After all these years, I found my son. And he gave me a beautiful grandchild that I would really love to see. Again. And… I found love.

Brooke: I knew quinn would be a disaster for eric from the start. All her proclamations of so-called love was… was fake. She doesn’t even know the meaning of the word.

Charlie: You know, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Never mind.

Brooke: No, go ahead, charlie. Say what you’re thinking.

Charlie: You know, i think that quinn actually loves eric in her own unique way. And come on, you can’t doubt her love for wyatt. Come on!

Pam: All right, well that may be true enough.

Brooke: Yeah, okay. I’ll give you wyatt, that’s her son. But, what about the man that she’s supposed to love? You don’t just do these things that she did to him. And I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Your jaw would drop to the floor.

Pam: Yeah, well, I don’t think anything that she did would surprise me. I have seen first hand just how deceptive she can be. Quinn uses people.

Brooke: I don’t know what binds them together. But it’s not love. It can’t be.

Quinn: There’s so much more between me and eric than just the physical. I mean, we talk, and we laugh, and we dance. We… he plays the piano for me.

Shauna: That’s lovely. Companionship is the glue to hold a marriage together. You can’t deny the importance of an active sex life.

Quinn: If I have to live without it– if that’s the cost of being with the man I love– so be it.

Shauna: Oh, god, you’re so grown up. Who are you and what have you done with quinn?

Quinn: You know, happens to the best of us. Look, come oN. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I’m resigned to a life of just holding my husband’s hand. And who knows? Things can turn around for us as quickly as it changed in the first place. Maybe that change’ll happen as early as tonight.

Eric: What a wonderful day this is for me and my life.

Donna: I am so thrilled for you.

Eric: I thought this was over, I thought this was… I thought this was never going to happen again after everything we’ve tried, and nothing has worked for me. And now this. I mean, for me to feel this way again so… so vital and so alive.

Donna: And sexy. Don’t forget about sexy. You are so sexy. And always wills be.

Eric: Yes.

Donna: Yes.

Eric: Donna, the way you look at me… the way you look at me with such affection in your eyes. Such sweetness. Never judging.

Donna: If I helped in any way at all, it warms my heart.

Eric: It’s changed my life now. It’s changed my life. I have to get home and tell my wife.

Donna: Quinn’s a lucky lady. You tell her I said so, okay?

Eric: I will.

Donna: Okay. Thank you, donna.

Donna: Anything for my honey bear.

Why hide your skin if dupixent Could this be true?

Hope: No.

Finn: No.

Sheila: Oh, come on, deacon. He’s so smart, and he’s got that dashing part of him and that sly sense of humor. And I gotta tell you, he’s not too hard on the eyes.

Hope: Okay, I’m gonna be sick. Dad, really?

Deacon: I can’t even speak. I mean, it was shocking to me too.

Sheila: That’s kind of the way it is. Right? I mean, love doesn’t announce itself. It just kind of slips through the side window when you least expect it. And then there we are. There we are. Right? I’m actually very glad that we ran into the two of you. You need to know that your parents found one another. Can’t you just be happy for us? Your father and I, we served our time, we paid our debt to society. Now we have a chance at– at a really good life. A chance to make up for the wrong that we did. We just want an opportunity to show our families that we deserve love and the opportunity to be with our children. Right baby?

Deacon: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Brooke: Hey. We heard eric left a little while ago.

Donna: Yep. Mm-hm.

Brooke: “Yep?” That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna give me? I mean, were you able to be honest with him about your feelings for him?

Donna: You would be proud.

Brooke: So, you got through to him, you made an impact.

Donna: In a way, yeah.

Brooke: That’s terrific!

Donna: Don’t get too exited. I mean, we had A… a wonderful moment, but then he went home to his wife. As he should.

Brooke: That’s it?

Donna: Afraid so.

Brooke: Uh, I was hoping eric would come to his senses and realize that you’re the woman he should be with.

Donna: Yeah, well, didn’t work out that way.

Brooke: I think he’s confused between commitment versus true love.

Donna: I couldn’t say, but if quinn is who he wants to be with, then I’m happy for him.

Brooke: I know you too well. You are holding something back.

Donna: Brooke, I don’T… I don’t want to get into all the details.

Brooke: Details? Donna, oh my gosh, tell me. What is it?

Eric: Quinn? Quinn, where are you?

Quinn: I’m upstairs but I’m coming down.

Eric: Oh, wait, wait. Stop right there.

Quinn: And do what?

Eric: Just let me take a nice long look at you. Oh! Beautiful.

Quinn: Okay, can I come down now?

Eric: Yeah, come on down. Come here. Yeah.

[Sighing]

Quinn: I um… I may be wrong, but I’m sensing a little shift, right?

Eric: You know me so well.

Quinn: Of course I do, you’re my husband. I’m more aware of you than anyone. What happened?

Eric: I had the most amazing day. And I couldn’t wait to get home to you.

Quinn: Oh, well it’s my favorite part of the day, our end of the day wrap up. Let’s make some martinis, we’ll get some dinner, and you can tell me all about–

Eric: No, not interested in dinner.

Quinn: Mm! Wow.

Eric: Why don’t we, uh… why don’t we take this upstairs to the bedroom?

Quinn: Really?

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: Seriously?

Eric: Seriously. Why don’t you, um, why don’t you show me the way.

Quinn: I know the way.

Eric: Do you?

Quinn: Yeah. Yeah. It’s right here. Come on.

Eric: Where do we go? Where is it? Show me. Show me.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Brooke: You have to tell me what happened between you and eric.

Donna: I– I didn’t say anything did!

Brooke: Well, I can see it all over your face. Now, don’t forget. I’m the one who told you to come clean about your feelings for him. So, if anything came up, you should tell me. Not that I wanna be a busy body. I don’t, it’s just I want you both to be happy. And preferably together.

Donna: Oh my gosh, stop. Okay, fine. I will tell you. Uh! I took your advice, all right? And I, um, told him how I felt, like you said. And I said that I missed him and us and I went so far as to say that he was the love of my life.

Brooke: Oh!

Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: Good for you.

Donna: And then I got misty and I started looking for a tissue in my purse, and right there where you couldn’t miss was… um, a honey bear bottle.

Brooke: He must’ve thought it was charming.

Donna: Well, yeah, and actually he was amazed because I admitted I have a stash in my drawer to remind me of the times that used to be.

Brooke: Aw. Ah… well, it sounds like you opened up. So, how did he react?

Donna: Um… I’m gonna keep that to myself, okay? Um, we had a, um, private exchange and then he went back to his wife. But, if I helped in any way at all, I’m happy.

Brooke: You know if you really wanna be with eric, you’re gonna have to be a little more assertive. I know if it was me, I would do anything to get quinn out of his life.

Donna: I’ve said it before, I just want eric to be happy, okay?

Brooke: Happy with quinn? He would have a much more meaningful and special life with you.

> Donna: But the fact remains. He’s a married man.

Quinn: I am so glad that you wanted to skip dinner and go straight to the bedroom. But–

Eric: But?

Quinn: I have to ask, what inspired this sudden change?

Eric: I told you I had this, uh… I had this great day.

Quinn: Creatively?

Eric: No. Personally.

Quinn: Mm…

Eric: Yeah. I haven’t felt this confident in a very, very long time. I think the old… the old eric is back and I am so glad to see him.

Quinn: Oh, I am so glad to see him too.

Eric: You’ve been so patient with me.

Quinn: ‘Cause I love you, eric. I have been waiting for you to kiss me like that for so long. To feel your passion for me for so long. I want you to make love to me, eric.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Hey, so kelly and i already, uh, we washed out all the buckets, and we put the kites away.

Steffy: Thank you. Is she… where is she?

Liam: Yeah… she kinda talked me into rewarding her with screen time for the whole bucket thing.

Steffy: Mm. Of course she did.

[Both laughing]

Liam: I like this mommy daddy date thing with kelly. We should do that more.

Steffy: Yeah. I like it too. I mean it’s– it’s really important. Plus, it’s nice that our partners don’t mind.

Liam: I mean, as far as we know. They could have been complaining about it at lunch the whole time.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s true. I hope not. Actually, what I really hope is that they’re spending time right now, talking about how much sheila and deacon cannot be in our lives.

Sheila: You initiate it this time.

Deacon: Initiate what?

Sheila: The kiss.

Deacon: Uh, that’s a hard pass. What the hell has gotten into you?

Sheila: Look, finn and hope are watching us. We need to show them that we have a really good connection. Would you just trust me? I know what I’m doing.

Deacon: Oh really, do you? Was this all part of the master plan?

Sheila: You should just kiss me.

Deacon: You want me to kiss you?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: All right, I’ll kiss you. Come here, I’ll kiss you.

Brooke: Eric, hi.

Eric: Hello, ladies.

Donna: Uhm… how– how long were you standing there?

Eric: Uh…

Donna: You heard… didn’t you?

Eric: This beautiful woman admitting that she still loves me, after all these years? Yes, donna, I heard.

Pam: Oh, I swear if donna used those scissors and didn’t put them back where they belong, again. You know what this means, right, charlie? I’m gonna have to check her drawer.

Charlie: Uh, I, I, thought that was, you know, verboten–

Pam: Well, back in the day, I wouldn’t be caught dead touching anything on her side, but I don’t think she’ll mind. Oh, good lord!

Charlie: Hey, is that– is that honey?

Pam: Oh, she still keeps a few of these on hand. I think it makes her feel close to eric.

Charlie: Wow, after all these years? Has she never gotten over him?

Donna: Okay, um, okay, uh, yeah, I’m just gonna, um, pretend to study these files, and, um, we’re never gonna talk about this again, okay?

Brooke: Donna, please, don’t go. As you can see, eric, she’s a little embarrassed that you overheard, but I am glad that you did, because you need to know how she feels about you.

Donna: You know, you know how I feel? I feel that these, uh, that this design is really nice, and I’m, I’m gonna go study this.

Brooke: Honey, honey, please. Donna. Oh, come on. Just talk to eric. And eric, just listen to this wonderfully caring, and affectionate woman, who used to be your wife, and that’s the kind of woman that you need in your life, eric.

Liam: Well, I’m sure they talked about it, right? ‘Cause it’s something they have in common, the old ex-con parent.

Steffy: At least hope grew up knowing what a loser her father is. Finn doesn’t even know his birth mother, and that’s what’s scary to me. That means he could be vulnerable to her.

Liam: Yeah, vulnerable, but he’s not dumb, I mean, he knows to stay away. And even if he doesn’t, hope is a perfect person for him to be hanging out with right now, then, because she is capable of convincing him that he should be nowhere near sheila.

Sheila: Well, could you smile, play the part?

Deacon: I don’t get why you think it’s such a good idea for hope and finn to–

Sheila: Well, you just keep your eyes on me, the woman of your dreams.

Deacon: My nightmares.

Finn: We should leave, right, before they see us.

Hope: No, I need to know what the hell my dad is thinking.

Finn: Hope, no, no, no. No.

Sheila: Show time. Hope! Uh, wow, what a beautiful surprise–

Hope: Hi. Dad, what is going on? What are you doing here with her?

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry?

Brooke: Eric, you know the kind of woman that donna is.

Eric: Yes, I certainly do.

Brooke: And through the years, you’ve spent time with women that, maybe, don’t share those same qualities. So, maybe, it’ll be good if you spend time with somebody that’s a little more positive, a little more tender. And just then, maybe, all of your problems will go away.

Brooke: Charlie? What are you two doing? Are you going through my sister’s things?

Donna: How do I do it? I always find new and ever more horrifying ways to embarrass myself.

Eric: No, don’t be embarrassed. You just made my day.

Donna: Eric.

Eric: Look, it, it’s true. I’m more than flattered. It means a great deal to me to know that you still care about me, after all these years.

Donna: Of course, I do. Nothing will ever change that.

Steffy: I hope this feeling eventually goes away, this sense of being on edge 24/7.

Liam: Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, I, I know deacon’s gonna pop up again at some point, right? The question is just when and where. Here’s the thing though, like, what, uh, what can we really do about it, now? Like, hope knows that she should stay away from deacon, at least. I know you’ve had the exact same conversation with finn, so, all we can do really is just hope and have faith that, that they will.

Steffy: I know, but that is so hard, knowing that sheila, or deacon, or both of them, can worm their way back into our lives. If they hatch some crazy plan together, while finn and hope are at their weakest, we’re all gonna pay the price.

Hope: Dad, I, uh, saw you, kissing her.

Deacon: Heh, ah, you, uh, saw that, all right, guilty. I’m not usually a pda kinda guy, but sometimes, I just can’t resist.

Sheila: Oh. Finn, sweetheart, you’re here too. I, uh–

Deacon: Uh, deacon sharpe.

Finn: Hi.

Sheila: So you, uh, you saw that, you saw that too, that little kiss?

Finn: Hm, yeah. I did, I did.

Sheila: I guess it must be confusing for the both of you.

Hope: Yeah, I’d say so. I mean, I didn’t even realize that you two really knew each other, and let alone, well enough to be kissing each other, so, uh, dad, I mean, some answers, please.

Deacon: Uh–

Sheila: Uh, it started with letters–

Deacon: Letters.

Sheila: Yeah.

Finn: Letters, what, what letters?

Sheila: Uh, when he was in prison, we were corresponding, and those letters, for us, they were life-changing.

Hope: Hm, so, uh, you’re implying that the two of you are a, uh–

Sheila: Yes. We’re a couple.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

(Eerie music)

Hope: You really expect us to believe this?

Finn: Of all the people in the entire world, the two of you just happened–

Hope: To connect through letters?

Sheila: I mean, at, at first, it was just friendly. No, you know, your dad, he’s got that charming wit about him.

Deacon: I really do.

Sheila: And then, it became more flirtatious, and before you knew it, I was, uh, I was visiting him in prison.

Deacon: Which is so ironic too because you’ve spent so much time in prison, so.

Sheila: Yeah, well. Well, then once deacon became eligible for conjugal visits–

Hope: Oh, no, we don’t need to hear about that.

Finn: Don’t need to know about that.

Sheila: I, I, I didn’t mean to embarrass you. I was just trying to explain.

Deacon: You know what, please do. Explain it for ’em. Explain the whole story.

Brooke: What is going on here? Is that donna’s honey?

Charlie: What, that? No, no, no. I, I confiscated that from a nefarious–

Pam: Charlie, give it up. She’s clearly onto us, but before you go tattling on me, it’s totally donna’s fault that I had to go snooping in her drawer.

Brooke: Oh, no. Never mind that. There’s more important things going on here for donna right now than your endless desk war. She’s in there right now with eric.

Pam: Oh?

Charlie: Omg. Is she getting the axe?

Brooke: What? No.

Pam: Wait, brooke, brooke. When you say, “more important,” I mean, do you mean that they might be…

Brooke: Well, I’m not interested in gossiping, and you shouldn’t be either.

Pam: How many hours a day do I sit next to your sister, and for how many years now? I mean, she’s gonna tell me anyway. So you might as well spill the beans.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. Let’s just go somewhere a little more private.

Pam: Come on, charlie. So, is donna finally telling eric how she feels?

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to get into it with you, if anything were to ever come of it.

Pam: Oh come on, please, brooke. All right, I admit, I was completely against the relationship when stephanie was alive, but now that she’s gone…

Charlie: Uh, uh, excuse me, uh, am I the only one that sees a problem here? I mean, doesn’t a certain wife kinda put the kibosh on any kind of donna-eric reunion?

Brooke: I don’t think anybody’s gonna be disappointed if quinn was gone. I mean, really.

Pam: I mean, I know eric is married to her, and i have tried to be happy for him. But he has just seemed so lonely for so long now.

Charlie: Yeah, he’s certainly not the jolly ‘ol fashion guru he once was.

Brooke: Hm, but he could be if he listens to donna, and if he feels the same way about her as she feels for him.

Donna: You don’t think it’s strange that i never truly moved on?

Eric: Strange? No, I don’t think it’s strange. Besides, I like strange. I like it.

Donna: Well, you know, I, I tried. I really did with justin, I did. But I think I was just romanticizing the idea of two high school sweethearts reuniting.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: In reality, that was never gonna work, not when the true love of my life was right across town. Oh my god, wow, I can’t believe I just said that out loud to your face, and I’m not hyperventilating.

Eric: There, you see, you’ve made real progress.

Donna: Oh I missed that, that, that laugh, that smile, i haven’t seen much of it lately.

Eric: I haven’t had much reason for it, lately, but I can’t help it with you, I mean, you always make me syo you crack me up with things you say.

Donna: Just what a girl wants to hear after admitting her feelings, a man cracking up.

Eric: Yeah, I’m sorry. I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Donna: Yeah. Mm-hm.

Eric: But, uh, but I mean it when I say I was truly flattered.

Donna: Good, because I meant it too. You really are the true love of my life. And you know, there’s no point in even trying to hide it, okay?

 

Sheila: You have to understand, after writing so many letters back and forth, and, and connecting on paper–

Hope: Okay, just stop, please. You know what is not adding up for me here? Is why you would even think to write her in the first place?

Sheila: It was, it was an apology letter.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: Why would he apologize to you, of all people?

Sheila: Well, think about it, hope, I mean, why, why was your dad in jail? He shot at quinn, and I was blamed for it. I thought it was really quite nice when he reached out to me, so naturally, I, I wrote back, found out that we had a lot in common, and, and then, after I started seeing him in person, and connecting with him, I found out we had even more in common and that’s when it happened.

Finn: What, what happened?

Sheila: That’s when we fell in love.

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Hope: Love? The two of you are in love?

Deacon: Mm-hm.

Charlie: Oh, come on. I mean, if eric ever looked in donna’s desk drawer, he’d know exactly how she feels. I mean, nothing screams devotion like a private stash of honey bear bottles.

Brooke: That’s true, but I think he probably assumes she moved on years ago.

Pam: A hot tamale like donna could have gotten out there and landed a rich hunk if she wanted to.

Brooke: But, she didn’t, because she still loves eric. But the question is does eric really love quinn? Or do you think he could still have feelings for my sister?

Eric: Donna, you’ve really felt this way about me all these years?

Donna: Yes.

Eric: I had no idea I was still that important to you.

Donna: Our time together, our marriage, was the best moments of my life. Truly, I… I love you. I never stopped.

Eric: Those were some of the most important times of my life too. They really were.

Donna: They were? I’m sorry. I think I need a tissue.

Eric: Here.

Donna: I, I… uh. What was I saying before about embarrassing myself? I think I just hit a new time high.

Eric: Well, you keep, you keep this in your purse at all times?

Donna: Uh… yeah. Um, you know, just remembering what things used to be.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Okay fine, fine, I admit, I, I actually, I keep a stash in my desk.

Eric: Wait, a stash?

Donna: Yes, I do.

Eric: Wait, you have some of these in your, in your desk, as what? As mementos?

Donna: No. No, it’s, um, uh… when, um, when I’m, I’m missing you, I, um, I, um, uh, no.

Eric: What, you what? Tell me. Donna, tell me, I want to know.

Donna: It’s like I’m admitting everything today, aren’t I? I, uh. I do this. Reminds me of better times, times with you.

Eric: Yeah?

Donna: Yeah. Remember?

Eric: Yeah, I remember. Here, may I?

Donna: Uh, certainly.

Eric: Nice.

Donna: You’re remembering.

Eric: Yeah, I am. Donna, I’m more than remembering.

Finn: Kelly still napping?

Steffy: Mm-hm. Gotta rest up for mommy and daddy time.

Finn: How long until liam gets here?

Steffy: Ah ha… any time now. Hope’s coming, too.

Finn: Ooh, maybe they’ll hit some traffic.

Steffy: Maybe or they could be walking in right now.

[Car doors slam]

Finn: Just when things were getting good.

Steffy: We can pick this up later.

Finn: Count on it.

Liam: Hello, hello.

Steffy: Hi.

Liam: What’s goin’ on here?

Finn: Oh, what?

Hope: We interrupting anything?

Steffy: No, no, you came at the right time.

Brooke: You’ve been quiet since we left the restaurant.

Donna: Brunch with my sisters usually cheers me up.

Brooke: Seems like it had the opposite effect.

Donna: No, it’s just um… you know, katie was talking about confronting carter. Defending eric like that. I want to do that too. Eric needs all of our support.

Eric: Did I hear my name?

Brooke: You did.

Eric: What have I done now?

Brooke: You’ve just been on our minds.

Donna: You always are.

Carter: Sorry we had to rush back here.

Katie: That’s fine. I had no idea it was gonna take us so long to get our food.

Carter: Yeah, have to do lunch and work at the same time.

Katie: Yeah, you know um, I can give you some utensils if you want to take your lunch back to your office.

Carter: Or we can eat together if that’s all right with you.

Katie: Yeah, that’s okay with me.

Deacon: Stupid waste…

Sheila: Would you stop? You’re grumbling. I told you lunch is on me.

Deacon: Look, you’ve already given me a place to stay. I don’t want to owe you for anything else.

Sheila: I think what you really meant to say right there is, “thank you, sheila.”

Deacon: Thank you, sheila. I am grateful, okay? But you’ve done enough. I think it’s time for me to leave L.A.. looked, I listened to everything you had to say but there’s no sense in sticking around here for something that’s never gonna happen. I wanna see my daughter, but hope’s family, they are never gonna let us be close.

Carter: Katie, these projections are right on the money.

Katie: Well, business 101: Never over-promise.

Carter: Ah, set attainable goals. I can use a lesson in that.

Katie: You know, carter, if I had known how you really feel, I never would have come down on you so hard about quinn.

Carter: And I shouldn’t have made conclusions about you. But we did have a great conversation, though.

Katie: Yeah, you know, once we got the yelling out of the way.

Carter: Yeah, well I did deserve to be yelled at. You care about eric a lot.

Katie: Yeah, I do.

Carter: Me too. Even if my involvement with his wife makes that hard to believe.

Katie: I believe you. I know what it’s like to fall for the wrong person.

Donna: We weren’t gossiping about you or anything.

Brooke: We’ve been worried, eric.

Eric: I’m well aware how you feel about my marriage to quinn.

Donna: No, it’s not that, it’s just, um… we’re concerned about you. Are you happy, eric?

Eric: Donna, I love how much you and your sisters care about me. I’m very lucky to have so many people looking out for me. Thank you.

Charlie: Uh… ahem. Cough. Sorry to interrupt, boss. But– pammy’s on another call but she wanted me to remind you you have a meeting in the cutting room.

Eric: Aha. Thank you. Thanks, charlie. Thank you. Well, I won’t keep them waiting.

Steffy: Kelly should be up from her nap soon.

Finn: Yeah, she didn’t want to close her eyes, she was so excited about today.

Steffy: Finn told kelly the sooner she fell asleep, the sooner she’d be able to wake up and get to hang out with her mommy and daddy. She’s really excited.

Liam: Oh, good move.

Finn: Yeah, thanks man. Okay. I’m– I should get going.

Steffy: Okay. Bye.

Liam: You going to the hospital?

Finn: Yeah, at some point. I’m going to get some food first.

Hope: Oh, that sounds good. I have been craving il giardino lately.

Finn: You wanna go together?

Hope: Uh, right now? I mean, yeah if… yeah?

Liam: Yeah, go.

Steffy: Yeah, sounds like fun. We’ll see you later.

Liam: Just stay out of trouble.

Hope: Okay. Bye.

Steffy: Bye.

Sheila: So, you’re giving up?

Deacon: Look, I’ve already caused hope so much pain. The last thing I want to do is make her life more difficult.

Sheila: It was her family making things difficult, not you.

Deacon: Well, I’m not going to win hope over by defying her family. A’right, maybe– maybe it’s just better if I go.

Sheila: No. No. I’m not letting you leave. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Carter: I’m not making excuses but I want to be clear. When I fell for quinn, my relationship with zoe had uh… it went down in flames and I don’t think I realized how devastated I was.

Katie: Rebounding with eric’s wife might have been a little extreme.

Carter: It was very extreme. Still, there was this intense connection. That’s why I asked her to run away with me.

Katie: It’s hard putting your faith in someone that you can’t rely on.

Carter: Yeah, I had a lot of time alone to think about that. Days are fine… it’s going home to an empty house.

Katie: Sounds like you hate being alone almost as much as I do.

Charlie: So neither of you have seen quinn?

Brooke: No… what has she done now?

Charlie: Oh, nothing. It’s just a shipment of jewels came in and she needs to sign for it.

Brooke: So, nothing strange is going on?

Charlie: No, no, nothing strange with mrs. F. She’s– she’s just a touch hard to keep track of these days. Yeah, but… any who, I’m sure she’s lurking somewhere and I’ll find her. But, thanks ladies.

Donna: Lurking. As I was saying, eric deserves so much better.

Brooke: We have to do something.

Donna: What can we do?

Brooke: Not we. You.

Donna: Me?

Brooke: Honey if you still have feelings for eric, you have to let him know.

Donna: Oh… uh…

Liam: How is this even– how did I lose again? You just sit there and you eat your cheese puff things, no mercy for your dear old dad. Ruthless. Just ruthless.

Steffy: She was taking it easy on you. But honestly, you really, really suck at this.

Liam: I am not– I do not. I do not suck at this. I think you two are in cahoots against me. I think that’s what’s happening right now.

Kelly: No.

All right, all right, fine. Well I’ll tell you what. When hayes wakes up, he’s gonna be on my team and then we’ll see who wins. What do you think about that?

Steffy: Actually, when hayes& wakes up, we should go down to the beach and have a picnic.

Liam: That is not a bad idea. Yeah. Although, that doesn’t give me much time to redeem myself so shuffle up mom. I’m going to show you what’s what.

Steffy: I don’t know about that. Daddy has no idea what he’s doing.

Liam: I know how to play the game.

Steffy: Do you?

Liam: It’s just physics. I just don’t– it’s like–

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Sheila: If you leave now, you’re a fool.

Deacon: Sheila, I didn’t come back here to cause problems for my kid.

Sheila: God, you know what I hate more than somebody who’s negative, deacon? A whiner. What are you going to do, huh? You gonna quit? Are you gonna crawl back into that bottle? Maybe– maybe even go back to jail?

Deacon: Staying here is a dead end for us. For both of us. You love your son. I love my daughter. But sheila, we’re screw ups. Get it? They’re good. They’re happy. Let’s leave them the hell alone.

Sheila: No, no, we were screw ups. My son loves me. He put my grandson in my arms. And if it weren’t for steffy and that horrible, unforgiving family, I’d be sitting here having lunch with him right now. I’m not gonna let anyone keep me from my son or my grandson because we’re family and I will never give up on being a part of his life.

Deacon: Good luck with that.

Sheila: Woah-woah-woah-woah! Where are you going?

Deacon: I told you. I’m out of here.

Sheila: Oh no. No. You can not– sit down.

Deacon: Sheila, don’t order me around–

Sheila: Look. They’re here. Our children are right here.

See blood when you brush or

floss

Carter: Mm. When does will get a break from boarding school?

Katie: Oh, not soon enough. Though, I’m not going to complain. He’s really happy there.

Carter: What about you? Before you talked about bill…

Katie: Well, surprise, surprise, he wants me back. And uh, he’s pretty determined…

Carter: Well, I can understand him not wanting to lose you.

Katie: Yeah, well um, bill doesn’t like to lose anything. Ever.

Carter: If bill can’t put you first, you deserve somebody who will.

Katie: I’m gonna tell you something. And I haven’t said this to anyone. I haven’t told even my sisters. I haven’t even really said it out loud. I’m not going back to bill. Our relationship is over. I have got to believe that there’s another man out there for me. A better man.

Donna: I am not going to tell eric how I feel about him. He’s married!

Brooke: He’s married to quinn. Donna, eric is the love of your life. And you don’t want to see him hurting this way. You and eric have had some wonderful times together, honey. Good things are worth fighting for. And you and eric, you were very, very good together.

Liam: Is kelly getting hayes ready for the beach?

Steffy: Yep, she is picking out his outfit.

Liam: Oh, my god. Girl’s got fashion in her blood.

Steffy: That is true, but she may end up coming out with like, a ski-suit or something.

Liam: And her mother’s eclectic taste, apparently.

Steffy: And her father’s desire to help with everything.

Liam: That’s– well… yeah, okay.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Liam: She’s pretty special, isn’t she?

Steffy: Yeah. This is really wonderful, you know? That we’re able to come together like this. And I know we would do anything for our children.

Liam: Well, that’s the idea, right? Whatever it takes to make them happy.

Steffy: To keep them safe. Especially from sheila and deacon.

Sheila: Get down before they see you.

Deacon: So, that’s your son?

Sheila: Having lunch with your daughter.

Hope: Oh, thank you.

Sheila: I didn’t know that that hope and finn were so close.

Deacon: What is going on in that diabolical head of yours, sheila?

Sheila: And you wanted to give up. Look at this, right in front of us. Finn wants to see me. Hope wants to see you. Maybe that’s it! Oh, this could be the answer we were waiting for.

Trelegy for copd.

Katie: Ugh, god, the idea of dating again, putting myself out there.

Carter: Yeah, yeah. If only there were apps for that.

Katie: Oh, that sounds awful. You know, I– I like the idea of being desired and having a man who wants me and only me. And having a real connection with somebody.

Carter: Then hold out for that. Don’t settle for anything less.

Katie: Okay, you too.

Carter: Hm. I might need some time to regroup.

Katie: Well, don’t take too much time. And don’t waste your time thinking about quinn. It’s not worth it. And stop thinking of yourself as the guy who always gets left behind because it’s not true. You’re smart, successful… easy on the eyes, not lying. And you’re kind. Anyone would be lucky to be with a man like you.

Brooke: Eric is down in the cutting room so just go talk to him. Tell him what you told me. Okay, maybe it won’t change anything but at least he’ll know how you feel.

Donna: No, eric and I are friends and I– I… I respect his choices, okay? Even if I don’t agree with them.

Brooke: Even if his choices make him miserable? Oh, come on, donna. He needs to be saved from quinn.

Donna: No. I am not going to interfere with their marriage.

Brooke: Oh, stop, stop it! Just admit it, already. You love him, don’t you?

Donna: Yes. Yes, I love eric. My god! I’m always going to love eric.

Deacon: They haven’t seen us.

Sheila: Not yet.

Deacon: Do we want them to? Sheila, what are you thinking? I don’t even want to know, do I?

Finn: I can’t remember the last time I came to a restaurant without having to ask for a booster seat or a kid’s menu.

Hope: Well, do you and steffy ever go out without the kids?

Finn: Yeah, yeah. We just um, have been staying a lot closer to home lately.

Hope: Ah, well, family meals are the best.

Finn: Yeah, I look forward to them all day.

Hope: I don’t believe it.

Finn: No, yeah. I’ve had a long day.

Hope: No, finn. My dad. He’s here.

Finn: Your dad? Where?

Hope: And he is with…

Finn: My mom?

Deacon: Well, they saw us.

Sheila: Well, let’s just act like we haven’t noticed them.

Deacon: Why?

Finn: Did you know they’d be here?

Hope: No. I mean– my dad barely knows sheila. I mean, he’s certainly not friends with her.

Then what are they doing here, together?

Sheila: Finn wants to come over here. I know he does. I mean, he’s under orders from steffy to stay away.

Deacon: See, see, that’s the problem. It’s impossible. Even if I could get hope to talk to me, liam and her family, they’d always be in our way. There’s nothing we can do.

Sheila: Yes, there is.

Finn: We haven’t ordered yet. Let’s just– let’s just go.

> Hope: Don’t you want to know what they’re doing here?

Finn: Liam and steffy, they don’t want us anywhere near them.

Hope: I kind of want to know what they’re up to.

Sheila: They’re our children. Let’s ask them to join us.

Deacon: Join us? They’re not gonna join us, they’re gonna bolt.

Sheila: Well, that can’t happen. We can’t– we can’t let that happen. This is our chance. Go with me.

Deacon: What? N–

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Look.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell?

Sheila: You love me. You love me like no other.

Deacon: I love you?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: Okay.

Finn: Oh, my god, what are they doing?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know.

[Laughter]

Katie: Oh, god.

Donna: Oh, when was the last time the three of us had brunch together like this?

Katie: If that’s your way of saying we should do this more often, I agreE.

Brooke: Me, too.

Donna: So, how did it go? Did you talk to carter?

Katie: Yes.

Donna: Well, I hope you gave him a piece of your mind.

Katie: I did.

Donna: About you know, everything that happened with quinn, especially.

Brooke: How it impacted eric.

Katie: Yeah, absolutely, of course I did.

Donna: And?

Brooke: And?

Katie: And, I was a little surprised.

Donna: About what?

Katie: Carter. His feelings for quinn. He really loved her.

Carter: So, I’ll rewrite the exclusivity clause. Make the changes you suggested. And then run it by both you and ridge before I incorporate it in the final document.

Eric: I’d like for you to run this by quinn as well. It’s about the jewelry line after all.

Ridge: Where is the lovely quinn, anyway?

Eric: Ridge, come on–

Ridge: Ah, just still hoping you’re going to kick her to the curb.

Eric: Yes, I’m well aware of that. You feeling the same way, carter?

Carter: Excuse me?

Ridge: I think my dad is asking if you share my opinion on his marriage.

Eric: Actually, I’m a little more curious about your feelings about quinn. Whether you’ve moved on… or not.

Hope: I wonder where zende and paris are? I mean, they knew about this meeting, right?

Thomas: Uh… yeah. I mean i can text them and find out though i’m pretty sure I already know where they are.

Hope: You do?

Thomas: Yeah, zende had this whole big, special event planned for him and paris last night. Took her back to his place. Pretty sure that she’s still there. So…

Paris: Last night was…

Zende: I think “off the charts” works. For me, anyway.

Paris: “Off the charts incredible.” Our first time…

Zende: Definitely not our last.

Hope: It’s really not a big deal but have you seen them?

Charlie: Zende and paris? Uh no, can’t say as I have. But you know, I’ve been kinda busy keeping this well-oiled machine… well-oiled, you know.

Hope: Oh, well, I– by all means, don’t let us hold you up.

Charlie: Uh, no, no. Listen, uh I’ll keep an eye out for ’em. If I see ’em, I’ll let you know.

Hope: Thank you, charlie.

Thomas: I mean, can you believe it? Like, seriously. Can you believe it? The first night I’m roommates with paris, she’s off with my cousin.

Hope: Mm. Well, it seems as if whatever big plans zende had for the two of them certainly turned out to be a memorable evening.

Paris: As much as I’d love to stay here all day like this–

Zende: Don’t say it–

Paris: We have responsibilities that we can’t ignore.

Zende: Hey. Let me help you forget them.

Paris: We’re already late for our hope for the future meeting.

Zende: Just so you know: I’ve found my hope for the future.

Eric: It’s a simple enough question, carter. Or should be.

Carter: What my feelings are for quinn? Um, not sure how to answer that.

Eric: Answer it honestly, carter.

Carter: Okay. It’s no secret that I cared for quinn. What she and I shared was deeper than just a physical connection.

Katie: Carter told me that he fell for quinn– hard. At least, he thought it was love. And looking back…

Donna: Maybe it wasn’t love at all?

Brooke: Well, whatever it was, I mean, who would’ve thought a decent man like carter would ever have those kinds of feelings for somebody like quinn…?

Donna: You know, I-I don’t get it. Not one bit. But, I guess it does help explain why carter made some of the choices he did. Because if it were strictly physical–

Katie: No, apparently it was not. He was following his heart. Something you know a little bit about.

Brooke: Sounds like carter really got to you.

Katie: Yeah, he kind of did. I mean, I walked in there ready to blast him for what he’d done. But then I found myself empathizing with him. And even more surprisingly: I realized that we had more in common than either one of us would’ve thought. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Thomas: Yeah, I like the color.

Hope: Oh, charlie. Hey.

Charlie: Pardon moi. It’s french. Listen, I have searched the gate records, the parking lot footage– zende and paris are nowhere to be found. Want me to send out an apb?

Hope: Oh. Oh no. No. I think it’s, it’s okay. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute.

Charlie: Okay, well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me… in my office. Keeping forrester safe… and secure. Free from nefarious characters.

Hope: Huh.

Thomas: Don’t want those nefarious characters coming around. So this is zende’s latest?

Hope: Uh, yup. Why?

Thomas: Well, I just. It’s interesting. I mean, zende never does anything this asymmetrcal.

Hope: Hmm. And what do you think?

Thomas: I think he’s got something here.

Hope: Agreed. Oh, there they are. We were about to send out a search party.

Zende: I’m sorry I’m late. Time… got away from us.

Hope: Well, I can’t imagine what would be more important than a design meeting. I hope there’s a good explanation.

Zende: Uh, we… overslept?

Hope: Mmm… overslept. Interesting.

Paris: Again, we’re so sorry. It won’t happen again.

Zende: So… what did we miss?

Thomas: Why don’t you two talk about that. I have something I need to run by paris in the design office.

Zende: Uh, hope, I really do apologize–

Hope: You know what, zende? It’s okay, I’m totally messing with you. Zende: Oh, don’t do that. You had me going there. Oy, yoy-yoy, yoy-yoy!

Hope: No, I’m really happy about you and paris. It’s just, you know, for future reference, um… “we overslept,” is not the best excuse in the book. You can do better.

Zende: You know, don’t you?

Hope: Well, thomas might have told me that paris did not come back to the apartment last night. And the rest–

Zende: What can I say? It was an unforgettable evening. In fact, I’m starting to see my future a lot more clearly now. And it’s all about paris.

Ridge: It seems that carter doesn’t want to have this conversation.

Carter: I do. I have to. Your father needs me to be completely honest with him and you do too and that’s what I intend to do.

Eric: Have you been able to move on?

Carter: I’m in the process. Yes. But you need to know, eric, that the connection that quinn and I shared– it’s over. Should’ve never been there from the start. Your marriage– whatever was going on between you and quinn at the time, whatever was going on with me should’ve never led to what it did between us. And I realized that what you said you were okay with, that it wasn’t okay. Me and quinn being together when you couldn’t– you were thinking about her needs, but… look, I’ll forever be deeply sorry for all of it. I hope you believe that, the both of you.

Eric: We do. I do have to wonder though if you might have some residual feelings for quinn, and if, perhaps, you always will.

Katie: I can see you’re both surprised… to find out that carter and i have more in common than either one of us thought.

Donna: Mm-hm.

Katie: Of course, I realized that after I had blasted him and he gave it right back to me.

Donna: Gave it right back to you?

Katie: Well, he talked about how I was lucky in love which is ridiculous. Like, being married to bill was some cakewalk. No drama at all. I mean, that’s insane.

Donna: Sounds like carter hit a nerve with you.

Katie: It’s probably because I had an unexpected visit from bill before I went to go see him. I set him straight. Told him about everything I’ve been through. And how painful it’s been, especially with will away at boarding school. I’m lonely. Work is great, you know. It’s busy, I- I love it. But then I go home to an empty house. Honestly, it was kind of cathartic. I think it was for carter, too. You know, he– he doesn’t want to be a bachelor. He wants to find someone to spend his life with and so do I. And more and more, I– I’m just not sure that that person is bill. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: Okay, enough about me. I want to hear about you guys. I imagine everything is well with you and ridge?

Brooke: Yes, you imagined right.

[Chuckling] Although we are concerned that sheila has slithered back into our lives. And if that’s not alarming enough, deacon is back in town, too.

Katie: We heard.

Brooke: That’s why we’re determined to protect our children. Whatever it takes.

Donna: Meanwhile, my life is so boring that um… I’ve reorganized my closet for like the hundredth time.

Brooke: Ooh!

Katie: Well, you know there’s a solve for that. You can come over and reorganize our closets. No, no, I’m just kidding. You gotta put yourself out there. Find yourself a new guy.

Donna: Oh yeah, believe me, I wish I could but really, there’s only one man for me. My honey bear.

Carter: The last time I spoke to quinn, she made it abundantly clear that she’s committed to you and your marriage.

Ridge: And you believed her?

Carter: Yes.

Ridge: Ah, come on, carter.

Carter: Despite her flaws and mine, we’ve always been truthful with each other. Just like I am with you now. Quinn and I are done. I’m looking forward… not back.

Zende: Look, I’m not one to kiss and tell but since you already figured it out I will admit that paris and I took things to the next level last night.

Hope: Well, I am happy for you, zende… for both of you.

Zende: Me, too. I haven’t felt like this in… and it’s all because of paris, how amazing she is.

Hope: Yeah, I know, she’s pretty great. Even your curmudgeonly cousin, thomas, sees she’s special.

Thomas: You know, contributions to the forrester foundation have doubled in less than a year. Doesn’t really take a genius to figure out why.

Paris: I hope you know that you’re embarrassing me big time.

Thomas: I hope you know that we appreciate you, big time. Though if you start, mm… showing up late with these excuses, like, “I slept in,”… I know you didn’t come home last night. On the outside, I looked fine.

Zende: I know that we need to get to work but can I ask you a quick question, first?

Hope: Sure.

Zende: It’s about thomas. You know my cousin better than anyone.

Hope: I guess that’s fair to say. Yeah.

Zende: Now, I’m not really… insecure but I don’t want to be naive, either.

Hope: About?

Zende: Thomas and paris living together. Do I need to be concerned?

Hope: I spoke to thomas and he is happy for both you and paris.

Thomas: So, I assume that zende poured on the charm and cranked up the romance…

Paris: You make it sound like he has a play-book.

Thomas: Well if he does have a playbook, I should probably take a page out of it. He seems to be doing pretty well in the romance department. He seems to be really happy. And then it’s no wonder why, with such an incredible woman by his side.

Paris: You’re sweet.

Thomas: Zende is one hell of a lucky guy.

Ridge: I have to tell you, dad. I’m still conflicted about carter.

Eric: Well, you need to try to get over that. This whole business is behind us now. Look, I still believe in carter. He’s a fine man. He’ll– he’ll find love. He’ll find the right woman… maybe sooner than we think.

Donna: I’ve only ever known true love once… when I was with eric.

Katie: Oh. Why don’t you tell him how you feel?

Donna: And then what? I mean, come on, it’s not like he’s gonna leave quinn for me.

Brooke: How do you know?

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: Look, I just want eric to be happy. That’s all.

Brooke: He’s never gonna truly by happy with quinn.

Donna: Begging the question. How does a woman like quinn get two terrific guys like eric and carter?

Katie: I have no idea.

Brooke: Oh, god. I’m just glad you had a chance to talk to carter.

Katie: Me too. You know, despite everything that happened with quinn, he’s a good man–

Donna: Not to mention drop dead gorgeous.

Katie: Not to mention that.

Brooke: Oh my goodness. You know, guys, I’m gonna be late for my appointment. I’ve really got to get going.

Donna: Oh my gosh, I totally forgot. I have one too.

Katie: Go, go, go. I will take care of the check. My treat.

Donna: Oh, thank you!

Brooke: Are you sure? Thanks. It was great catching up.

Katie: I know, I’ll see you soon. All right, love you.

Brooke: Love you.

Donna: Love you, love you.

Brooke: Love you more.

Carter: I’m hurting, kate.

Katie: Don’t give up.

Carter: On what?

Kate: On love.

Carter: Maybe my destiny is to be alone.

Katie: You know what I think? I think there’s no such thing as destiny. I think it’s all just luck. Maybe we’re unlucky.

Carter: Hm.

Katie: Unlucky in love.

Carter: Mind if I join you?

Katie: Hi.

Carter: Hey. Thought I’d grab a quick bite before heading back to the office. Uh… by yourself?

Katie: Uh, actually, I was with my sisters. I was just paying the check.

Carter: Okay, then it’s lunch by myself, then.

Katie: You know um, I just really did a lot of talking with them, I didn’t do a lot of eating so I’m still kind of hungry. Do you want to sit down?

Carter: Yeah, yeah. I gotta admit that I get a little self-conscious sometimes eating alone.

Katie: I’ve gotten pretty good at it but it’s always nice to have company. I have to apologize to you again for going off on you about quinn.

Carter: I understand. You care about eric.

Katie: Yeah, I do but still–

Carter: No, no, katie, it’s fine. You’re a very passionate woman. That much was very clear last night. Besides, I should be apologizing to you. Making assumptions about you, and your life, none of which were true. Thanks for setting me straight.

Katie: Well, thanks for setting me straight. I came to your apartment with a very different attitude about you but I realized that we have a lot more in common than we what we thought.

Carter: It’s not fun being alone, is it?

Katie: We’re not alone now.

[ Crickets ]

Brooke: So, you need my help, with katie?

Bill: Yeah. It’s gotten to the point that i think I might lose her for good.

Carter: I actually believed that quinn and I had a future. That we’d run away together.

Katie: Run away?

Carter: Yeah, I was in denial. Thought it was what I thought it was. It was love, but it couldn’t have been, otherwise she’d be here, with me, and not eric. She’s gone. And I’m here. I’m here alone. Again.

[ Knocking on door ]

Thomas: Uh, yeah, coming. Oh, hi. Hope: Uh, hi. You didn’t respond, but I figured I’d take a chance anyway.

Thomas: What? Oh, my phone’s on silent. I’m sorry.

Hope: Uh, well, I think douglas might have forgotten his football here, and he needs it for practice, so I figured I would just come and–

[ Whispering ] My apologies. Uh, I didn’t realize, uh, you’re shirtless, and there are clothes on the floor, so I’m clearly interrupting something, so I should just–

Thomas: No, no, I’m just, I’m here by myself.

Hope: But what about the clothes on the floor?

Thomas: Oh yeah, they’re paris’.

Paris: You weren’t kidding when you said this is going to be a memorable night.

Zende: “Life changing,” I believe I called it.

Paris: Yeah, you did, that’s what you said. But let’s not change too much. The life that we’re living right now, I’m really feeling it. Awesome job, hot guy, I definitely want to stay on this path.

[ Glasses clinking ]

[ Suave instrumental ]

Hope: Paris?

Thomas: Yeah, uh, these are her clothes, and… all of these too. Yeah, things have, uh, things have escalated kinda quickly.

Hope: Escalated?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, some people might think it’s fast, but… we’re ready for it., Oh, paris moved in. We’re living together now.

Paris: Ah, enough, enough, gonna give me a big head.

Zende: Impossible, but well-deserved. Listen to this testimonial. “Paris buckingham has shined since taking over the foundation, making bold and innovative choices.” Bold’s an understatement.

Paris: Mm. Okay yeah, the reviews, yeah, it’s always good to hear, but you know what’s even better than reviews?

Zende: Mm hm?

Paris: Go back to the main page. And then, go to latest ventures. So, that one right there, you might be interested in that.

Zende: Paris, this is the orphanage where I–

Paris: Yeah, I know. Keep reading.

Zende: The zende forrester scholarship fund? Oh my god, you really…

Paris: Don’t forget to write a review.

Bill: I thought we were finding our way back to each other, at least, it felt like we were. But then, will went off to boarding school, and since then, we hardly speak. Of course, my arrest didn’t score any tens with the judges. I need to get her back.

Katie: I didn’t realize things were that intense between you two. Carter, another man’s wife? We thought–

Carter: You thought wrong. Please understand, I never wanted to hurt eric. I never wanted to upset ridge, or any of you. I just finally wanted to have a turn. Katie: A turn?

Carter: You don’t get it. You can’t get it, because you’ve been married. You’ve experienced what I’ve never had, because guess what? No one sticks around long enough. I just thought this time would be different. Thought I’d finally get what I’ve been searching for.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Hope: You really had me going there, for a second.

[ Laughing ]

Thomas: I’m kidding.

Hope: Oh!

Thomas: Yeah, you know, she, uh… I’m sure she wasn’t exactly expecting me to be here when she moved in, but she’s been really sweet about it.

Hope: Ah. You are sure that zende doesn’t have a problem?

Thomas: Doesn’t seem to.

Hope: Okay, I’m just saying… the woman he’s interested in, living with another man… he might be a little more bothered by it than you may think.

Zende: These kids are going to get scholarships in my name? I can’t believe it.

Paris: Well, you’ve been talking to me about how you want to give back. What better way?

Zende: You know, I was trying to be all smooth earlier, talking about how this would be a life-changing night, but… you are the one changing lives. Every day. Making the world a better place. Making my world the best it’s ever been.

Bill: Katie knows that I will do anything to prove to her that she can trust me, that she can believe in my commitment to her… but I think I may be out of chances. She said that she is exhausted, that she wants something different.

Ridge: Can’t really blame the woman.

Brooke: Ridge–

Ridge: I didn’t want to say anything, but how can katie trust you? You left a man dead on the side of the road.

Bill: I admit that I have made mistakes, but I am working on being better. I really am. I’m a changed man. I just need to prove that to katie.

Carter: Yeah, people think that I’m this happy-go-lucky bachelor, dating different women, keeping my options open, it’s not true. I’m not choosing this. I don’t want to be single. I’m not 20. I want to find love, like everyone else.

Katie: Maybe you want it a little too much. I mean, you’re able to justify things that, that… aren’t justifiable. Like, even taking zoey back, after the way she treated you, or… falling for someone else’s wife.

Carter: Yeah, yeah, what’s that saying, “I keep looking for love in the wrong places?” Maybe, I do… try to force things to work that shouldn’T. And this time I hurt people I care about. Ridge… eric, I– I don’t even– I don’t even know what to saY. I really did think… never mind. You’d never understand. You literally came here to judge me. You’re gonna judge me when you had it so good.

Katie: I’m sorry, I’ve had it good? Clearly, you don’t know me very well. You don’t know me at all.

Bill: I will do anything to get katie back.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

Brooke: Look, if you mean that, and if you truly mean that, then she’ll see it.

Bill: But she hasn’T. I can’t get through to her. Will you talk to her for me? Please? I don’t want to live my life without my katie.

Katie: You think because I’ve been married, that somehow I’m luckier than you? I’ve spent most of my adult life in love with a man who breaks my heart over and over again.

Carter: Look, I’m just saying that you’ve experienced something I’ve never had.

Katie: Oh, yeah, I’ve had a lot of experience. I’ve been with a man who says I make him better, who says that he doesn’t want to live his life without me. But you can say all those things, but if those words aren’t backed up by truth or resolve, or some kind of fight, then they’re just words. I mean, is that what you’re jealous of, a bunch of pretty words?

Carter: Yes, yes, yes. I’m jealous you had something, anything. I’ve never had that. I want to know what that feels like, katie, to feel like you’re important to somebody.

Katie: Oh, I wanna know too. I’d like to know that too. Because I’m only important to bill when he can’t have me. I am never more attractive than when I’m telling him no. This game we play. He’s charming, and he woos me, and he tells me that I’m the only woman in the world for him. And I buy it, hook, line and sinker. And then he… gets bored, or restless, or I don’t even know what. And he breaks my heart. And I think, I think, “okay, all right, this time, it’s over. This time, I’m done.” But there he is… begging me to take him back and telling me he’s gonna change and promising me, promising me, that this time… this time he won’t let me down, and… and so I take him back, I do. Because I… I don’t even know why. Hah. I just think I’ve been trying so hard to hang onto this thing that… that I lost, that I lost a long time ago. I mean, is that the kind of relationship you want?

Carter: I didn’t realize–

Katie: No, you didn’t realize. Please don’t make it out that I have some kind of perfect life, because… it’s not true. Do you know what love feels like to me, most of the time? It feels like I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop, wondering if… if I’ll ever be enough. You love… and then you lose. Love and loss. Love is loss.

Thomas: You know, I will say this. Zende did make a point of telling me how serious he is about paris.

Hope: See?

Thomas: But he also told me he’s not jealous in any way. Why would he be? Look, I’m his cousin, and he trusts me. And more than that, he trusts paris. She’s crazy about him, and he knows that. Zende knows he has nothing to worry about.

[ Fire crackling ]

[ Soft instrumental ] We see you.

[ Fire crackling ]

Paris: You know what?

Zende: Mm hm?

Paris: It was definitely worth the wait.

Zende: More than worth the wait. Turns out I was right.

Paris: About what? How big this night would be for us.

Paris: Life-changing.

Carter: Love is loss? Do you really believe that?

Katie: Feels that way, sometimes. We can’t all be brooke logan, right? I mean, if you want to be jealous of someone, you should be jealous of her, because every relationship she has ever had, she has been the center of the universe for that man. I mean, men live and breathe for her, and always have.

Carter: Yeah, I wanted to do that. For zoey. Quinn, even more so. I want someone to care for me the way brooke cares for ridge. Someone to fight for me, and give up anything. I guess that woman doesn’t exist. I realize that I made you mad when I brought up your marriage, and I apologize. But katie, even if it didn’t work out, at least… at least you had a shot. I never got that. You have no… idea how alone I feel.

Katie: You think I don’t know about loneliness? Seriously? You can live in a house full of people, and still feel all by yourself. Bill, he’s really good at making you feel like you’re the only person in the room, but he’s even better at making you feel completely invisible. I’ve actually never felt so alone in my entire life. So… please don’t make assumptions about me.

Carter: I think you just caught me in a bad time. I’m hurting, katie.

Katie: I know, I can see that. And I know that you realize that that what happened with quinn shouldn’t have, but I don’t like seeing you in pain. Don’t give up.

Carter: On what?

Katie: On love.

[ Scoffing ]

Carter: After the way you described it? I feel like giving up is my best option.

Katie: Well… maybe you just caught me at a bad time. There’s someone out there for you.

Carter: Yeah. Someone I can fall for, who’D… rather be with another guy. Happens every time. After a while, you have to ask yourself, “what’s wrong with me?” Why can’t a woman appreciate what I have to offer? A woman who wants to be loved as much as I do, who wants commitment, a family. Is that too much to ask? Maybe my destiny is to be alone.

Katie: You know what I think? I think there’s no such thing as destiny. I think it’s all just luck. Maybe, we’re unlucky. Unlucky in love. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come over here and lay all this stuff on you. I– I barged in here, uninvited… and judged you, and I’m sorry.

Carter: Forgiven. And next time, consider yourself… invited. For people who could use a lift could not do it without you.

[Mellow instrumental]

Carter: I love you. I want to be with you, quinn. Now’s our chance to have a life together!

Quinn: Carter…

Carter: There’s something so special, so beautiful between us. We can’t deny it anymore. So say yes. Say you’ll run away with me!

Brooke: Quinn should be ashamed of herself.

Donna: Ugh, that woman has no shame.

Brooke: Eric tells her about his E.D. And then suggests she fulfills her physical desires with carter.

Donna: Yeah, I’m shocked quinn actually took him up on it.

Ridge: Talkin’ about quinn and carter. Of course quinn took him up on it. She already had an affair with him and then her dad gave her a free pass.

Donna: You know it makes me wonder, for eric to do that, does he really love her?

Bill: I know I’ve mistreated you. I haven’t lived up to the promises I’ve made.

Katie: I’m sorry, bill, but I’ve heard all this before.

Bill: Yes, yes, yes you have. But katie, sitting in that jail cell day after day, it woke me up. I felt what it would be like to live the rest of my life without you. And it rocked me to my core. I can tell you with absolute certainty, that I will be a better man. I will be everything you need me to be. Just give me one more chance. Thomas: It is uh, it’s kinda crazy that we’re suddenly roommates.

Zende: I’m sorry that your house fell through. It sounded like a great deal.

Thomas: Yeah. It was ’til it wasn’T.

Paris: I bet there’s an even better place waiting out there for you.

Thomas: I just– I feel bad. You know, I mean, uh… thank you for insisting on me staying here. It’s great but it is your place now.

Paris: It’s the least I could do. I just, I want to make sure that you’re not uncomfortable with this living situation.

Zende: If you’re asking if I’m jealous or insecure… no. There’s no reason for me to be… is there?

Paris: Obviously, it would only be temporary.

Thomas: My agent is on the hunt for a new listing.

Paris: But if it’s too weird for you…

Zende: I wouldn’t you to go back to crashing on michelle’s couch.

Paris: That would be really bad for my back.

Zende: Mm…

Thomas: Look, it’s obvious how much you two care about each other, and, uh, I wouldn’t want to do anything to interfere with that.

Bill: I’ll never go back to who I used to be. I vow to be the kind of man that you can spend the rest of your life with and this time I mean it.

Katie: I would love to belive that but I have been burned so many times. I feel like I would be foolish to put myself in that situation again.

Bill: Let me show you. Let me prove that I deserve you.

Katie: I’m sorry, bill, but I think it’s too little, too late.

Donna: He’s afraid of being alone.

Ridge: He’s better off alone than being with quinn.

Brooke: Yeah. Why not put an end to it once and for all? Eric wouldn’t encourage a woman that he really cared about to jump in bed with another man.

Donna: He says it’s because of his medical condition. Maybe he just doesn’t trust his wife.

Brooke: Who could blame him?

Quinn: I wasn’t expecting this. My head is spinning. I feel like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, I feel the same way. Look, this situation is something I never imagined myself falling into, and I know it was wrong. We betrayed and hurt people we care about. But it doesn’t have to be wrong anymore. No more hiding. No more secret affairs.

Quinn: You would lose everything–

Carter: I don’t care! I’ll get a job somewhere else. You can have your own business again outside of forrester. The only thing that matters is you, quinn. The two of us building a future: I want that. Tell me you want that too. Yawns “okay okay, I’m up, I’m up!”

Zende: I didn’t come here just to drop off a housewarming gift. I have a special night planned for us.

Paris: Oooh, you do? Well, let me just grab my purse from the car and then we can go. Thank you so much for setting me up with this place.

Thomas: No worries. Thanks for letting me stay here.

Paris: We might need to redecorate a little bit.

Thomas: Go for it.

Paris: I’ll be right back.

Zende: I meant what I said earlier. I’m not the jealous type. But I want to make sure you know how serious I am about paris.

Thomas: Nah, I get it. You guys are in a relationship. You really care about each other. You don’t have to worry about that. But if you are feeling weird about this whole thing, us living together, tell me. ‘Cause I can find another place to live.

Zende: You’re my cousin, thomas. I trust you.

Bill: I don’t want to live without you. I don’t know how. Just tell me what you need from me. Just tell me and I will do it.

Katie: You should know by now.

Bill: Yes, of course. I should know, and I do know, it’s just that, I’m an idiot! I’m a selfish idiot. You need to be able to trust me. You need to have faith in my commitment to you. You need to be able to believe that you are the only woman for me, and katie, you are. You are.

Katie: Bill, I have let my walls down so many times, I have been vulnerable. I’ve tried to support you so many times but I’m exhausted. Aren’t you?

Bill: I never get exhausted, not when it comes to refusing to give up on us.

Katie: All the ups and downs and back and forth. I’m mean, it– it’s not healthy for anyone especially not will. I just don’t think that I can go back again. If we haven’t figured out by now, maybe we never will.

Bill: Don’t say that.

Katie: I want something different. I want my man to be mine. I need to know that he loves me and only me. And I need to believe that and I need to trust it. I want someone who wants companionship and a connection as much as I do. And I just don’t think that man is you.

Bill: Yes it is. I want that for myself, and I want that for you. And I know, I know that I am the man– the only man– who can make you truly happy. Because I touch your soul, and you touch mine. I will fight to win back my katie’s trust. I will fight to win back my katie’s heart and nothing and no one will get in my way.

Brooke: This whole arrangement is beneath him.

Ridge: It is beneath him. How do you do that as a man? How do you– how do you give carte blanche to your wife to be with someone else? I know he regrets it now, but…

Brooke: The damage is done.

Donna: Well, it’s obvious that eric is not a priority in quinn’s life. Maybe she’d be happier someplace else.

Quinn: I love you, too. And if I wasn’t already with eric… I would love to spend the rest of my life with you. The thought of running away with you right now, it’s incredible! But I’m married.

Carter: What are you saying?

Quinn: Carter, never doubt the depth of my feelings for you.

Carter: You can’t mean this.

Quinn: You really think that we could just give up everything…

Carter: Why not? All we need is you and me. We have the foundation to be and do whatever we want.

Quinn: It’s not that simple–

Carter: Yes, it is that simple. All we need is you and me! This connection we share! This love we have for each other. Are you saying it’s over? I’d risk it all for you!

Quinn: I know that. I know that and I love you for that! Carter, I have spent years becoming who I am. And I can’t just walk away from eric and the life that we built together! I need to go home… to my husband.

Carter: Quinn–

Quinn: No, carter. I can’T. I just can’T. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

[Chuckles]

Paris: Wow. How did you even do this?

Zende: I have my ways.

Paris: I am very surprised. You have the wine, the candles… my favorite flowers? Is that my favorite candy?

Zende: From that little place over on beverly.

Paris: The place where we went after our first date. Wow. You really know the way to a girl’s heart.

Zende: I figured instead of going out we could just stay here unless you want to go somewhere. We can obviously do that if you want to.

Paris: No, I like being right here. I would choose having you all to myself for a night rather than going out any day.

Zende: Me, too. Although, I do look forward to exploring your new neighborhood with you.

Paris: You’re sure you’re okay with it?

Zende: With thomas crashing at the place for a little bit? Paris, I told you. I’m fine with it. Because you would tell me if you weren’T…

Zende: I want you to feel settled somewhere. Until you’re ready to move in with me. Just, do me one favor?

Paris: Anything.

>>Zende: All the talk about thomas, can we put a pause on that for a minute?

Paris: Yeah, deal.

Zende: Good. Because tonight is about you. The amazing, beautiful girl who made me see the one thing I’ve always wanted. The one thing that was missing in my life. You.

Brooke: So, what’s it gonna take for eric to finally get quinn out of his system?

Ridge: I don’t know. He seems pretty committed. You know, every time I bring it up, he just sticks up for her. I don’t know what she has over him. You know, he just can’t say no to her.

Brooke: She needs to let him go. She had to stop stringing him along–

Ridge: You really think she’s gonna let him go?

Brooke: We can only hope. Oh, she is getting way too much out of this. The lifestyle. The fame. Being part of a powerful dynasty.

Brooke: But we’ve never accepted her into the family. And there is no way she could ever be the forrester matriarch. Donna: Well, she’s certainly been a dark presence in his life, that’s for sure.

Brooke: She destroyed eric’s confidence and his dignity by sleeping with carter.

Quinn: Carter, I have spent years becoming who I am. And I can’t just walk away from eric and the life that we built together! I need to go home… to my husband.

[Knocking]

Carter: Quinn?

Katie: I tried to stay away but I can’t stay silent any longer. Eric is such a wonderful man. How could you do this, carter? How could you? Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

[Sighs]

[Chuckles softly]

Paris: We have all evening. And I want to enjoy every moment with you. Because tonight is the night that could change our lives forever.

Ridge: All right. Finally alone with my beautiful wife. Been wanting that all day.

Brooke: Mm-hm… [Giggles] How lucky are we?

Ridge: We’re 10 out of 10 in the lucky department.

Brooke: Yeah? You know, all that talk about quinn and eric just reminded me that we need to be grateful for what we have: Our wonderful relationship.

Ridge: Just gets better all the time, doesn’t it?

Brooke: You know, I was thinking. Maybe we should go home–

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Brooke: Order some food…

Ridge: Ok–

Brooke: Crawl into bed….

Ridge: You read my mind.

Brooke: Yeah?

[Knocking]

Brooke: Bill?

Ridge: How’d you get in here?

Bill: Didn’t mean to interrupt.

Ridge: So, we need locks on every door, apparently.

Bill: I need you, brooke. I need your help with katie.

Katie: I just don’t know how you could do something like this. I mean, quinn’s behavior will never surprise me, but you? It doesn’t make sense. You can’t just sleep with another man’s wife–

Carter: Katie…

Katie: I don’t care if eric “allowed” it. He wasn’t thinking clearly.

Carter: Eric insisted it was what he wanted.

Katie: He was embarrassed. He was embarrassed by his condition. He was hurt and vulnerable.

Carter: I realize that.

Katie: This affair was wrong from the very beginning. Every aspect of it. You’re too good for this, carter. At least I thought you were. I’m sorry to come at you so hard but you should see how defeated eric is… I mean at this point of his life, it should be peaceful, it should be rewarding. And he gets this thrown on his plate? Trust me, I am not just laying all the blame on you. I blame quinn. I mean clearly, she sucked you in and you let her do it. I don’t– I just don’t get it. I mean, you know what I’m saying is true. The forresters have done so much for you. Eric is the kindest and sweetest man I know. Ridge is your best friend, for god’s sake! I mean, I don’t get it, carter. How could you do something–

Carter: Because I loved her. Because I fell in love, that’s why. And does that make me a fool? You know, katie? You know, you’re right. You’re right about a lot of things. You usually are. I’m usually this logical, reasonable guy. I am. I’ve never made a poor decision like this in my life, and I did it because I thought I was in love. But I guess I’m not. Because she left. She left. She’s gone.

Quinn: I have spent the best years of my life right here. In this house with you, secure in the knowledge that nothing could shake us. And I miss that. I miss the ease. I miss how natural it was, and how content we were.

Eric: I miss that too.

Quinn: These past few weeks, they have, they have been so confusing and so emotionally draining, and I, I… I am right back to being on the defensive, constantly with your family again.

Eric: And all of that because of what I, what I put into motion, what I set into motion between you and carter. I’m– it was a very big mistake. Something that we… maybe we can rectify this. Can you make it clear to carter that any involvement with him is over, now?

Quinn: Yes.

Eric: Then go, go to him, go to him now. Tell him it’s over for good.

Katie: Bill?

Bill: I had to see you, katie. It’s been way too long.

Thomas: Are you sure about this?

Paris: You helped me out, and now it’s my turn to help you out.

Thomas: Okay, but look, I appreciate the gesture, but you made this decision on an impulse, and I really, really don’t want you to regret it.

Paris: If you think you can tolerate me, we’ll share this space. You and me. Roommates.

Thomas: Works for me.

Paris: There’s no reason why this can’t work, and this place is big enough for the both of us. And besides, this is just a temporary arrangement, until you find a new house.

[Knocking]

Zende: I come bearing an apartment warming gift. It’s a coffee maker.

Paris: Ah, aren’t you sweet?

Zende: Aren’t you hot?

Paris: Mm.

Zende: So, is this the official handing off of the keys?

Paris: Uh, actually, there was a change of plans. Thomas isn’t gonna move out.

Zende: Say what?

Paris: Yeah, we’re going to be living here together, for a while.

Zende: Wait, um, you and thomas?

Katie: Bill, you can’t just show up here like this.

Bill: I can’t take this distance between us, katie. I want you back. I need you in my life.

Eric: Ridge. I didn’t know you were coming over.

Ridge: Is that your way of saying that i should have called first?

Eric: Why start now? What’s on your mind?

Ridge: Oh, I don’t know. Just trying to wrap my head around this, and every– see, I think, I think I’ve come to a conclusion and I don’t, I just end up baffled. I just don’t know how you’d encourage your wife to be with carter.

[Door knocking]

Carter: Quinn.

Quinn: Wondering why I’m here? You and i have unfinished business. After 40, we need anti-aging care that works.

Zende: So, you two are going to be living together?

Paris: More like temporarily sharing a space. I insisted, after his house deal fell through. Why move twice?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean look, I’ll find a place in no time, be out of here before you know it.

Zende: And in the meantime, you’re going to be living with my girlfriend?

Paris: You don’t have a problem with this, do you, zende?

Katie: Bill, I really have a lot of work to do. I’ve got to put together this whole campaign.

Bill: I’ve given you all the space you asked for. Now, I need you to hear me out.

Katie: Haven’t we said it all, at this point?

Bill: I haven’T. There is a, a hole in my heart, where you and will used to be. I miss my wife. I miss my son.

Katie: I miss him too. So much. But boarding school is the best place for him to be, right now. He is so happy there, he loves it. And he can just, he can focus without constant distractions.

Bill: Like his father going to jail.

Katie: It was so hard on him, bill.

Bill: I’m just glad he didn’t have to suffer any of the fallout.

Katie: I still have a really hard time with what you did, bill. It frightens mE.

Eric: Look, I realize that my pushing carter and quinn together seems like a strange idea to you.

Ridge: Strange idea, dad? It seemed–

Eric: It seemed like the best idea at the time. Look, I wanted to do something for my wife, I didn’t want her to be unhappy. I didn’t want her to, I didn’t want her to just go off and be with some stranger.

Ridge: How about this, how about no affair with anybody?

Eric: That would have been a better idea.

Ridge: It would have.

Eric: It seemed like the best idea for us.

Ridge: Well, it’s the best idea for her, really, right? Because she goes out and you sit here, and you just say, “hey, honey, have fun. Don’t forget your phone. Have fun with carter.”

Eric: Stop it.

Ridge: No, you stop it. It’s gotta be hurtful for you. It’s gotta to be painful to have a wife that claims she loves you, and then she goes and does that.

Quinn: Wow. You know, I used to think about this loft as our sanctuary, till justin barged in, and destroyed all that.

Carter: The guy knows how to ruin the moment, that’s for sure. But, you know what I realized?

Quinn: What?

Carter: That when you’re not here, you’re here. Your presence, your warmth, I want more than that, quinn. Seeing you from a distance, missing you when you should be here–

Quinn: Hey, carter. Stop. There’s something I have to tell you.

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

Zende: Yeah. Sure, the two of you, temporarily living together… makes sense.

Thomas: Plus, as a bonus, you got me looking after paris, right? Not that you need it, the self-sufficient warrior that you are.

Zende: Of course. Paris is a total badass. One of the many reasons why I am so razy about her.

Thomas: So, you two are probably anxious to have the place to yourselves, I promise I won’t take too long, I still remember a few of the houses that I looked at that might work, so, um, I’ll look at ’em again.

Paris: One more time, and I’ll believe you. I want you to becomfortable with this. So, are you?

Bill: Katie, you know me better than anyone. The lengths that I would go to to protect my family.

Katie: I know. I know how much you want to protect us. But you take everything to the extreme.

Bill: I won’t apologize for that.

Katie: I don’t expect you to. I am just trying to give you my point of view, because from where I stand, you do reckless things. You do dangerous things. You left a man on the side of a road, you just left him there. Liam hit him, sure, but it was an accident. But you destroyed evidence, you covered up the scene.

Bill: I was laser-focused on protecting liam, in that moment. The same way I would will, or wyatt, or any of the people that I love. And there is nobody that i love more than you.

Eric: I want to stop you right there. Don’t come down on quinn, or carter either, for that matter. Resuming their affair was my idea. Neither one of them was even on board, at first.

Ridge: They came around quickly enough. Dad, you were going through something. Your wife should have been there for you, instead of running off with carter.

Quinn: You were such a wonderful surprise. You’re the last thing I expected. Eric made me feel so unwanted after I targeted brooke and ridge’s marriage, it left me vulnerable, and left me open to you. This beautiful man, who took my breath away, made me feel like the most beautiful, and desirable woman in the world.

Carter: That’s what you are.

Quinn: That’s how I feel every time you look at me. And I have cherished every moment I got to spend with you.

Carter: I felt surprised too. When things ended with zoe, I didn’t think I’d find love again, but there you were. This unexpected connection that turned into a love unlike anything I’ve, I’ve ever known.

Quinn: It’s so hard to give you up.

Carter: So don’T.

Quinn: What?

Carter: We don’t have to hide in the shadows anymore. Our secret’s out, quinn, and guess what? The world, it didn’t end. And we still love each other. So this is our chance, quinn, we can finally be together, so let’s take it. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Katie: This all feels very familiar. You do something shocking and destructive, and you throw all of our lives up in the air on an impulse. And then when whatever you put into motion blows up in your face, you… you come to me, because you know that I’ll always be here for you. And you know that I love you. And at that moment, I become the woman that you love, more than any other. And I can’t tell you how much I’ve always wanted to believe that.

Bill: Then, believe it. Because no matter what we’ve been through, you are the woman I love like no other.

Katie: I’m not sure that’s true.

Bill: You’re talking about brooke? I thought we’d gotten past that.

Katie: I forgave you, I forgave her, but I can’t forget. You loved her. You were my husband. She was my sister, the thought of the two of you together will always hurt me.

Bill: You don’t know how deeply I regret that.

Katie: I know you do. I do know. You always do. After the fact. Bill, the question that I have been asking myself over these last few weeks is why do I allow myself to be put in these situations that ultimately are so demeaning, and so demoralizing, and don’t I… don’t I deserve better than that?

Bill: You do. You absolutely deserve better than that. Katie, you are the only woman that I want. I just… I have this knack for tearing down what is most dear to me, and that’s you. If you give me one more chance, just– just one, you will believe that.

Katie: I needed time and space to figure out how I feel about everything. And we’ve been apart for a while now, and there’s a part of me that’s ready to move on. There’s a part of me that feels, feels good that I don’t have to wait for the other shoe to drop, and I don’t have to wonder when I’m going to be blindsided again. It’s a relief.

Bill: I hate that. I hate being the cause of your pain. That’s never my intention. I want to be the person that brings you nothing, nothing but happiness, and if you’ll– if you open the door, just a crack, I’ll do the rest. What I won’t do, what I refuse to do is to live a life without you by my side. And yes, I haven’t always been the man that you deserve, and yes, I’m sorry, I have taken you for granted, but I’ve learned my lesson. If you give me one more chance, katie, just one, I swear I won’t let you down.

Eric: Look, I know that there is a strong connection between quinn and carter, I know that.

Ridge: And that’s okay with you?

Eric: No, it’s not. I know that it’s wrong. I’ve admitted that to quinn, and she is, she’s with carter right now, ending this whole thing. She’s gonna make it very clear that it’s over.

Carter: One word, quinn, yes. Just say it, and we’re out of here.

Quinn: Carter–

Carter: I’ll load up the car, and we can leave la, and everyone in it. We can go wherever. We can start over, quinn. We can be free. We can be free to be together, to choose each other. I mean, everyone already knows about us. We can finally own how we feel. Think about it, think about it. The two of us, walking in the sun, proud of our love. This is our moment, quinn, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Now, one of two things can happen, you can walk out that door, and back into your life as mrs. Eric forrester, or you can be free and hit the open road with me.

Quinn: I can’t believe you’re saying this. I’m a, I’m a married woman.

Carter: I’m aware. And you’ve been married this entire time, and yet, I love you and you love me. I realize I’m asking you to give up a lot. Position, money, status, your portrait on the wall, I know how much that means to you, but quinn, what can be more than the way we feel for each other? We both say we’ve never experienced anything like this.

Quinn: Never.

Carter: That’s because it’s rare, and it may never come along again, quinn, so we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to each other to take a chance. Our life together is out there. We just have to go out there and we have to grab it, so what do you say? Come on, hit the road with me. Let’s do this. We can go wherever it leads. Say you want this. Say you want this as much as I do. Say you want a life with me.

Quinn: [Sighing] Steffy wanted me to look at this layout, but I will come back later.

Ridge: We need to talk.

Quinn: Uh, now isn’t a good time.

Ridge: I don’t care.

Quinn: I thought eric made it perfectly clear. The details of our marriage are none of your concern.

Eric: Here we are.-No sugar, no lemon, your usual.

Katie: Oh, I guess that means I have been over here quite a lot lately, huh?

Eric: Yes, you have.

[Laughing] You’re always welcome, katie.

Katie: Glad you feel that way.

Eric: I do.

Katie: I know that you have been going through a difficult time, and I am sure that there are things that you’d rather not talk about, but I do have some questions. It, it really touches me that you felt like you could be open and honest with me about your personal problems, and about… what’s happening in your marriage to quinn. I really cherish that part of our friendship. So, I have to be honest with you. I still have trouble with what you told me about quinn and carter.

Thomas: How did this happen?

Paris: The seller backed out?

Thomas: Well, I thought that was my realtor calling, and I thought that he was gonna tell me that all the paperwork is ready to be signed, but apparently, the guy just decided to flip the house to his buddy instead.

Paris: He accepted your offer, though?

Thomas: But not my counter, so says my realtor. And apparently, since the paperwork wasn’t signed, it doesn’t matter. I wanted this place so bad, paris, it was mine.

Paris: But now, it’s not. I’m sorry. I’ll, I’ll just take my things and go.

Paris: I am so sorry. You were really excited about that place.

Thomas: I thought I had it.

Paris: Can the seller just change his mind like that?

Thomas: Apparently. Nothing was finalized, so.

Paris: Well, you’ll just have to believe that there’s an even better place out there for you. You’ll find it. Uh, I’m gonna call my friend and tell her that I need her room.

Thomas: No, no, no, wait. We agreed that you could live here. Okay? You already signed the sublet forms.

Paris: When we thought that you were moving out. But you’re not, so–

Thomas: No, no, no, don’T. Hey, don’t do that. Don’t leave.

Eric: Katie, I knew this would be hard for you to understand.

Katie: I really want to understand.

Eric: I’m not really sure that anybody outside the situation really can. Look, I realize that what I put into motion between quinn and carter is unusual, I realize that.

Katie: You say you love your wife, that you’re happy together, but… she’s sleeping with another man.

Eric: But she’s, but she’s not cheating on me.

Katie: Because you know about it?

Eric: It’s more than that. Katie, I didn’t just step aside for this. I actually encouraged them to be together.

Katie: Why? Why, eric?

Ridge: I don’t need to hear any more sordid details about your marriage.

Quinn: Really? Isn’t that why you sent justin after us to spy–

Ridge: I did what I did to protect my dad. I’m not gonna apologize for that.

Quinn: Eric doesn’t need protection.

Ridge: Really? Because he’s still with you, and that can’t be good for him, right? Knowing that you’re in bed with another man.

Quinn: Well, that was his idea. It’s what he wanted.

Ridge: Well, you and carter didn’t have to go along with it.

Quinn: We didn’t want to.

Ridge: But you did. If you cared about my dad, if you respected him at all, you would have refused it. You would have kept refusing it, and seen this offer for what it was. A test. A test to see that if things go really bad, that you would be there for him.

Quinn: No.

Ridge: No, you weren’T. You failed. And why, why did… what possessed you, really? I guess we both know the answer to that, don’t we? Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Quinn: I love your father. You’re never gonna believe that, but it’s true.

Ridge: But you have feelings for carter.

Quinn: Of course, I do, I’m not gonna deny that either.

Ridge: No shame? Nothing?

Quinn: I’m sorry, would you rather I say I didn’t have feelings for him? Would that make what happened any less offensive to you? Listen, ridge, think what you want. Eric knows that I’m committed to him, and only him. We’re secure in our marriage.

Ridge: Well, that’s your marriage, right? This new, unconventional way of looking at things, where you do everything you want. You have sex with carter, and just call it a sacrifice while your husband’s sitting at home with two martinis, waiting for you to show up.

Quinn: What eric and I have isn’t superficial. We’re not just companions. Our connection is every bit as deep and meaningful as your connection is to brooke.

Ridge: Be careful.

Quinn: Be careful? No, I think you need to be careful, because you’re angry that eric didn’t share this with you. You want to blame me, ridge? I’m not the one making eric feel bad about himself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go home to my husband.

Paris: I can’t thank you enough for offering your apartment to me.

Thomas: It’s your apartment, paris. Look, you signed the agreement.

Paris: Well, unsign it. And it’ll be fine at my friend’s place. She has enough room.

Thomas: Look, you just said you’re sick of bouncing around, right? I mean here, you could settle in, you could decorate, you could finally unpack these bags, for goodness’ sakes.

Paris: That would have been great. But, I don’t want you to feel bad that it didn’t work out.

Thomas: But I do.

Paris: Why? I mean, this whole day has been a roller coaster for you. Getting that house was important. It would have been a big step forward.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s like stepping into the next phase of my life.

Paris: So this is just a temporary setback.

Thomas: Okay, for me, yeah. But not for you. Alright, look, I can figure something out. It’s not a big deal. I can stay with my dad, or with my sister.

Paris: Why move twice? You’re going to find a place. I will only agree to stay here if you do too. It was yours first, it has two bedrooms, and douglas, he’s already familiar with it. I insist.

Carter: Ridge.

Ridge: You seem disappointed. Were you expecting your girlfriend? I’m sorry, that’s rude. Were you expecting my father’s wife?

Carter: Okay, you wanna talk. That’s fine. But I won’t let you unload on quinn.

Ridge: Hm, right off the bat, protecting her, huh? What happened to you? We used to be best friends, and now, I can barely talk to you.

Carter: I’m sorry you feel that way.

Ridge: I do. Anything else you feel sorry about?

Carter: You’re shocked. We knew you would be when you found out about this. That’s why your dad told us not to say anything.

Ridge: My dad asked you not to say anything because he knows it’s wrong. I know it’s wrong. Everyone knows it’s wrong. What about you? You think this is messed up? Because, if you don’t, nothing else for us to talk about.

Eric: Look around this room. What do you see?

Katie: I see the piano where you sing christmas carols. I can see the fireplace, where so many happy couples have gotten married. This house is full of memories.

Eric: I cherish every one of them. I do. But when i was alone here, they were painful. You must know what that feels like. Being alone in your house, with will off at boarding school.

Katie: I do.

Eric: Yeah. And so when quinn came back, she brought life back to my house, and to me.

Katie: You’re sharing the same space, I understand that. But, are you really sharing yourselves? I mean I know you can’t, physically, but are you sharing your love for each other, your plans for the future? Doing what you’ve done, allowing quinn to be with carter, another man, I just have to ask. Deep down, do you really, truly love and trust quinn?

Quinn: Katie. You’re becoming a regular fixture around here, aren’t you?

Eric: Katie can stop by anytime she likes.

Quinn: And what are you here for today? To share you opinion about what’s going on? I can only imagine what you think of me.

Katie: All I care about is eric’s happiness, quinn. I’m just wondering if you can say the same.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Thomas: That’s really sweet of you, but I can’t stay. Look, I want you to feel at home here.

Paris: Your sister and finn helped me out, when I needed a place to stay, and now, I am paying it forward. And besides, I’m not gonna kick you out of your own apartment.

Thomas: Well, I mean, I am a pretty great roommate, and douglas says I am quite the chef.

Paris: Oh, well, see? That just works out great for me.

Thomas: Granted, his favorite foods are grilled cheese, and chicken tenders.

Paris: That sounds delicious.

Thomas: Okay, so, well, uh, are you staying?

Paris: Are you?

Thomas: Uh… I want you to feel at home here, okay? And me staying here will, it will be very temporary, right? I’ll find a new place soon. Heh, it’ll be nice. Nice to have some company.

Ridge: I didn’t come over here to berate you, carter. I’m just trying to find your part in all of this. I talked to my dad, I talked to quinn, none of it makes sense to me.

Carter: What do you want to know?

Ridge: How could you do this to my dad?

Carter: Okay. Well, the first thing you need to understand, ridge, is that eric wasn’t tricked. He wasn’t manipulated. Quinn and I were stunned when he suggested it.

Ridge: You could have said no.

Carter: We did. He wouldn’t let it go. He was determined to make her happy. In fact, her satisfaction was the only thing that mattered to him. I’m telling you what happened.

Ridge: Tell me you were fine with it.

Carter: We didn’t want to hurt eric, okay? This was his idea. He suggested this.

Ridge: Tell me you were fine with it.

Carter: It’s not about who’s fine with it. We didn’t want to hurt eric. Quinn loves him. I love him too. This is the last thing we wanted.

Quinn: You don’t need to worry about my husband’s happiness, katie.

Katie: But I do.

Quinn: Well, it’s not really necessary. You don’t need to come over here and hold his hand, ’cause I’m his wife. Nobody cares more about eric’s well-being than I do.

Katie: Okay, well, given what I know about you and carter, you’ll have to forgive my skepticism.

Quinn: It’s really none of your business.

Eric: Quinn, I’ve been open with katie, I’ve been very open with her.

Quinn: Well then, she should realize that this is between us.

Katie: I do.

Quinn: Then, you won’t take it the wrong way, if I ask you to leave. I’d like to be alone with my husband.

Katie: It was good talking with you.

Eric: You too, katie, you too.

Quinn: Oh, I am sure she was telling you what a horrible person I am.

Eric: I don’t let anybody talk about you that way.

Quinn: Really? Well, ridge, he didn’t get the memo, because he gave me an earful at the office.

Eric: Hm.

Quinn: Eric, I love you. I hope you know that, and I am still so confused about what happened, but I need to know that it hasn’t damaged our marriage. Yawns “okay okay, I’m up, I’m up!”

Ridge: That’s not you. That’s not the man I trusted and respected all these years. Wha did quinn do to you? How did she get to you?

Carter: Don’t blame this–

Ridge: If I don’t blame her, I gotta blame you. Which is it?

Carter: There’s no one to blame, ridge. Here’s the truth, all right? It’s no excuse. When zoe and I ended things, it was rough. I thought I had a future with her, and when it ended, I felt lost, and so did quinn, because your father was pushing her out for months. We bonded. There was this… this chemistry, and eventually–

Ridge: Okay. That was over. You promised to stay away from her. It doesn’t matter what my dad told you to do. You’re a grown man, right? Make your own decisions. You know he wasn’t thinking straight. You knew that, maybe, you didn’t want to know.

Carter: That’s not fair.

Ridge: No, you know what’s not fair, carter? You found out my dad had ed. You didn’t come to me, because the two of us, we could have done something about it. Instead of this, trying to salvage the relationship we had. And now, my dad’s barely talking to me.

Carter: You’re right. I should have told you.

Ridge: Can I ask you something? How do you feel about her? How do you feel about my father’s wife?

Quinn: I’m used to being treated like the bad guy.

[Quinn sighing]

Eric: Quinn, I’ve made it very clear to everyone that this whole situation between you and carter was my idea.

Quinn: But they still see it as my fault, that i wasn’t supportive enough, I made you feel inadequate, you, you couldn’t possibly share your feelings with me–

Eric: Quinn, I defended you to everyone.

Quinn: Yeah.

>>Eric: No one’s gonna score any points treating me like some old fool that doesn’t know his own mind.

Quinn: It’s so frustrating!

Eric: Yes, I know. Quinn. I know you have feelings for carter, I know. I know the connection between you is very powerful, I know that.

Quinn: But so do we. I’m your wife.

Eric: Can that be enough? Could that be enough, for you to leave your feelings for carter behind?

Quinn: Eric, my feelings for you are all that have ever mattered to me. That’s what nobody seems to understand. Do you know how much I love you, how much being your wife means to me? No one seems to get that. They don’t understand why you did what you did. I don’t even understand it half of the time. But when you ask me if being your wife is enough? Being your wife… is the greatest gift I have ever received. I cherish every single moment that I have spent with you. Every martini, every time we have sat at the piano, every time we’ve made love. I don’t take any of it for granted. I love you.

[ Upbeat music ]

Zende: So, you don’t like the neck line?

Thomas: I do, on paper, but I don’t think this fabric will allow the neck line to fall like you really want it to.

Zende: It could. Remember the way it’s stitched… kind of holds up.

Thomas: Right, I’m saying, I like the design. It’s just honestly, with this fabric, it’s not gonna work.

Zende: I disagree.

Thomas: Okay, hope. What do you think?

Zende: Is everything okay?

Hope: Uh, yeah. Yes. Everything is okay.

[ Sighs ] All right, well I might as well tell you. I’m honestly surprised you haven’t heard donna or pam gossiping about it but… my dad is out of prison. He’s back in town.

Thomas: Deacon?

[ Man groaning ]

[ Clinking ]

Deacon: Dammit sheila, dammit! Come on, come on!

[ Sheila giggling ] God. Ugh.

Sheila: I hear the third cup is a charm. But you surprised me. I really thought someone like you would hold their liquor better.

Deacon: Your bedside manner sucks.

Sheila: Well, excuse my frustration. I hauled you up here, you passed out. That was not my idea of a great night.

Deacon: Oh, what’s a matter, were you expecting a little something else?

Sheila: I wouldn’t touch you deacon, even if I wanted to slap you. Now can we just call it straight on the children?

Deacon: You know, coming up here was a mistake, and hooking up with you is a recipe for disaster. Sheila, if I’m gonna have any relationship with my daughter, come on. I can’t be anywhere near you.

Sheila: You’re never gonna get past liam and the forresters on your own.

Deacon: Well, you know, that’s not really any of your business. Same as whatever’s going on with your son has nothing to do with me.

Sheila: Your daughter hung up on you last night.

Deacon: She wants to have a relationship with me. I mean why else would she have written me all the letters in prison? You know, I just… I just gotta get through to her. And I’m gonna make that happen. Today.

Zende: On a scale from one to ten, how freaked out do you think hope is right now?

Thomas: Look, deacon is about as low as they get, but hope has a soft spot for him.

Zende: He is her dad, right?

Thomas: Yeah, I don’t know if it’s that, though. It’s like hope has this ability to see good in people no matter who they are.

Zende: Talkin’ about liam?

Thomas: Talkin’ about me. But you know, I don’t know what deacon being back means for hope or her family.

Paris: Hey, sorry. I don’t want to be an interruption.

Zende: You could never be an interruption.

Paris: Hi. I was looking for hope. I wanted to go over some forrester foundation stuff.

Thomas: Yeah, actually she just stepped out. She’s on a conference call.

Paris: Is everything all right? I heard you mention deacon, and what it might mean for hope. Who is deacon?

Thomas: That’s a long, ugly story.

Zende: Featuring hope’s father.

Hope: No, the pleasure’s all mine. All right. We’ll talk soon.

Deacon: Shh, it’s okay. It’s dad. It’s dad. It’s me.

Hope: Dad, hi.

Deacon: Hey. I had to get past security.

Hope: How did you know I would be in here and I was alone?

Deacon: I got my ways. You know, I tried to call you last night.

Hope: Yeah, but dad, you can’t be here.

Deacon: Yeah, I know, I know.

Hope: If someone sees you–

Deacon: I’m complicating your life. I know, I’m sorry. I just want to say I’m sorry for everything. I know I’ve said it before. I know I’ve let you down. I just– I want you to understand, I’m different now.

Hope: Why should I believe you this time?

Deacon: I was in my cell, and I was reading. I was reading one of your letters, and it got me thinking about my past. I’ve got so many regrets, and you were talking about that doctor, the one who stole your baby and you thought you’d lost your daughter. Only to be reunited months later. And you were talking about the hurt. The thought of losing another child was the worst hurt you’d ever gone through. And that the pain was so bad that you… you thought you might die. And… the fact that I couldn’t be there for you. The fact that I couldn’t just hold you and… um, wipe away your tears. It just–I… it broke me. And I said to myself that if I ever get out of there, I will do whatever it takes to be a part of your life. Hope, please. I know that I can be the father you deserve. Just give me another chance.

From the very first touch,

Thomas: Apparently hope has been sending deacon letters for quite some time.

Paris: So, she really wants to connect with him.

Zende: He will definitely use her love to get what he wants.

Paris: And that is?

Thomas: I don’t know exactly, but I’m sure it’ll be self-serving.

Zende: It usually ends up with hope being hurt.

[ Phone chiming ]

Thomas: Finally!

Zende: What is it?

Thomas: My realtor said that my seller’s agreed to the reduction. The deal’s closed. Drawing up the paperwork. Yes!

Paris: Oh wow, congratulations!

Zende: Finally! I feel like they were giving you the run around for a while.

Thomas: Yeah, but you know what? This place is worth it. It’s perfect for me.

Zende: So, what are you gonna do with your apartment?

Thomas: I’ll just sublet it. Wait a minute, you’ve been living with your friend after you moved out of steffy and finn’s, right?

Paris: Yeah, finding the right place has been really hard.

Thomas: Okay, well, why don’t you, why don’t you just take my apartment? It’s fully furnished.

Paris: What? No. No, I can’T.

Thomas: Seriously. You can have it for free.

Paris: No, thomas, that’s way too much.

Thomas: It’s not too much, you’re a part of the forrester family. We’re friends, okay? This is what friends do for each other. Look, at least come take a look at it. And if you like it, it’s yours.

Paris: Okay, but I’m going to pay my own way. There are a lot of people out there who can’t, and I am fortunate.

Thomas: Okay.

Paris: Thank you.

Thomas: I actually need to head over there right now if you want to see it.

Paris: Yeah, I’d love to.

Zende: See? I told you it would all work out.

Deacon: I know I can be a terrific father. I really can. I just need the chance to prove it. I also know that you’ve got a lot of people buzzing in your ear telling you horrible stuff about me, and sadly, it’s true. But, but, what’s also true is that I love you. Look, I just… I just want a chance to be the father that you deserve. I wanna be a grandfather to beth. Please. Please, I’m so excited to meet her. I just… want to be back in your life.

Hope: I don’t know what to believe.

Deacon: Hope, just–

Hope: Dad, no. I don’t–

[ Sighing ] I don’t know. Okay, I do know that mom, and ridge and liam certainly don’t want you in my life.

Deacon: Is that what you want?

Hope: I just… I think I just want all of this to slow down. You know, maybe if we grab a coffee or lunch, or something, in public. But you coming here like this. I mean, dad, that’s not a good idea.

Deacon: Is this you talking, or is this them?

[ Door opening ]

Liam: What the hell are you doing here?

Deacon: I came to see my daughter. Like it or not, liam. I’m her father.

Liam: Oh yeah, you’re her father all right. And what kind of father have you been?

Deacon: You know, I’ve been a pretty awful one. Which is exactly why I’m here asking for a second chance. Look, I didn’t come here to con, I didn’t come here to manipulate. I just want a relationship with my daughter. And I want to see beth.

Liam: Absolutely… absolutely not!

Hope: Liam, please.

Liam: Hope, this is what deacon does. Right here, right now. This is it. He’s doing iT.

Deacon: Deep down, hope wants to have a relationship with me.

Liam: Oh my god, get out! Get out! You have caused hope and her entire family nothing but pain.

Deacon: All right, I didn’t come to fight, I just came to tell my daughter… that you have grown up into a beautiful, exceptional woman. Hope, I love you.

Thomas: So, now that I got the house, I mean, you could move in today if you think it’s a good fit.

Paris: It’s great.

Thomas: Well, it’s a great neighborhood, there is a place for pizza right around the corner, and they have live music. They also, after four P.M., You can get all you can eat wings for like ten bucks.

Paris: Mm. Now you’re speaking my language. I thought super rich la guys were just into quinoa and green juice.

Thomas: Ew, no. No, no, no. Look, I know this place isn’t exactly my sister’S. It’s not in malibu, it’s not right on the beach, but it’s–

Paris: Well, it’s perfect. And I’m way more of a city girl than a beach bunny, anyways.

Thomas: Ah.

Paris: Are you sure about this?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. No, I got my new place, so– actually, I can text over to the management company, have them send you the sublet paperwork right now. Um, look, paris, I’d love for you to live here.

Paris: Deal. Thank you so much.

Thomas: Oh, yeah.

Liam: God, the fact alone that we would just show up like that. You okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Liam: By the way, how did he get past security, ’cause don’t they have a whole–

Hope: Liam, I appreciate that you’re so worried about me, but I really wish you weren’t so harsh with him.

Liam: I’m harsh because I’m trying to protect you. Okay, I know… I know I’m coming on real strong here. I see that. And I know it’s overbearing. But, hope, you have such a good heart. I mean, you have the biggest heart out of anybody I know.

Hope: But…

Liam: But, it makes you vulnerable. Like, people like deacon and sheila, they’re just not the kind of people that change. Even if they really want to.

Hope: And what if you’re wrong about him? You know, he’s had a lot of time to think about his life and what he wants and… is it that crazy to think that he loves me enough to change?

Liam: You tell me. Are you willing to take that gamble? I know I’m being harsh, I just don’t want him to hurt you anymore than he already has. And the best way to achieve that is to not let him be a part of your life.

[ Door knocking ]

Deacon: Hey.

Sheila: That bad, huh? Sorry.

Deacon: Yeah, sure.

Sheila: I mean it. I know what it’s like to be rejected by your child.

Deacon: Yeah, but see, that’s just it. That’s just it. I wasn’t rejected. Hope and I were standing there and she wanted to give me another chance. And then…liam walks in.

Sheila: What’d he say?

Deacon: What did he say? He talked to me like I was a piece of garbage. Like I was nothing. I have spent so much time fighting the forresters, and now I gotta fight liam spencer?

Sheila: Yeah, well, I have fought the forresters, too. And now I have to contend with steffy.

Deacon: Maybe we’re the problem. Maybe we ought to… maybe we ought to just quit. Sheila, the forresters are never gonna let you around them.

Sheila: You’re telling me to give up on finn and hayes? My own son and grandson?

Deacon: You’re never gonna have a relationship with them, so yes. Yes, before this goes too far because you are starting to get obsessed again. Everybody knows what happens when you think you should have something. I mean, you did it with lauren fenmore, you did it with eric forrester. Look, you just, you need to stop and realize what you can’t control. So, you need to leave your son, and the forresters the hell alone.

[ Sinister music ]

Thomas: Okay, so all this was already in your car.

Paris: Well, yeah. My friend didn’t have a lot of closet space, so.

Thomas: Oh, you want me to start moving this stuff to the bedroom?

Paris: No, no. You’ve already helped so much and I e-signed the sublet while I was out there.

Thomas: Oh, then this place is officially yours. Congratulations.

Paris: Thank you. And if you’re up for it, I would love to treat you to some of those wings that you were talking about. Show my gratitude.

Thomas: You’re on.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh, it’s my realtor. I gotta take this. But, make yourself at home. It is your home. Hello? Yeah. Okay. Am I sitting down? What do you mean? What? No, no, that’s not possible because they accepted my offer. Okay. All right, yeah. Okay, thanks.

[ Scoffs ] I can’t believe this. Um… well, I guess the seller backed out. He just gave the place to his buddy instead. I guess I’m not moving after all.

Deacon: I just came to tell my daughter that you have grown up into a beautiful, exceptional woman. Hope, I love you. If hope wants me out of her life… sheila: She said she wanted a relationship with you, then liam interfered.

Deacon: What could I do? That’s her husband. I mean, if for some reason, she doesn’t want me around, that’s how it’s gotta be. It’s the same thing with your son. I mean, if he doesn’t want you in his life, you gotta give him what he wants.

Sheila: What are you gonna do? What, are you gonna leave town? You’re gonna go from job to job?

Deacon: I don’t know what I’m gonna do, okay? But what I do know is that I haven’t earned a place in hope’s life. The same as you haven’t earned a place in finn’s life. Sheila, you know, maybe we just need to admit that we lost.

Sheila: You know what I hate more than anything, deacon? Someone with a defeatist attitude. A coward. Someone who gives up. No one had a perfect upbringing. But when there’s blood between a mother and a son, and a father and a daughter, you don’t give up. That blood bond is something that cannot be broken. I will have a place in my son’s life. In my grandson’s life. In the forresters’ life. Yu understand? Am I a mother that’s obsessed because I want to see my son? Yes. What’s really surprising me here right now is that you’re not. I thought you told me that you cared about hope.

Deacon: Hope means everything to me.

Sheila: Well, then do something about it. Together, we can get our kids back. But, you know what? If you would feel better crawling back into that bottle that you came out of, you go right ahead. But, I’m gonna be a part of my son’s life. I’m gonna be a part of my grandson’s life. And there is nothing that steffy and the forresters can do to stop me. I won’t stop until I get what I want. And you know what, deacon? I always get what I want. I always get what I want.

[ Gentle piano music ]

Liam: And the verdict is?

Hope: Sound asleep.

Liam: And what about douglas? How’s his, “I’m reading until midnight, no matter what campaign?”

Hope: Oh, well, that’s not going according to plan.

Liam: Aw. It always cracks me up to see him in there, just like mouth open snoring away with the lights on and an open book on his chest.

Hope: I know, it’s so adorable. I love this. I love our family and the life that we’ve created.

Liam: I do, too. Which is why I think we need to protect it.

Deacon: Look, if you’re trying to hit on me, I just want to say that–

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re not interested?

Deacon: I mean, don’t get me wrong, you’re…you’re a very attractive woman for a, you know, psychopath. I’ve been down this road before. I do not want to get thrown over another cliff, so I think I am going to politely say, no, thank you.

Sheila: Shattering my dreams, why don’t you.

Deacon: Okay, there’s no need for sarcasm, all right? You’re the one who said, you need me.

Sheila: It’s because I do, deacon. Almost as much as you need me.

[ Sighs ]

Steffy: You’re home. I thought you were going to be gone all night.

Finn: No, I was laser focused to get back here to you.

Steffy: That’s so nice.

Finn: I mean, I must have set a record churning through sick people.

Steffy: That’s not you. You’re a thorough and caring doctor

Finn: When the patient is drop dead gorgeous, potential wife material. Yeah. Otherwise it’s just kind of…

Steffy: Uh huh. Sure.

Finn: Hey, your dad texted me. He said he was sorry that he missed me. He stopped by?

Steffy: Yeah, actually, he had some gossip.

Finn: Some gossip?

Steffy: Yeah, it turns out sheila isn’t the only unwanted visitor to come back into our lives.

Finn: Uh oh. Who now? Do I know him?

Steffy: No, no, and you definitely don’t want to. He’s not a good guy.

Finn: And does he have ties to your family?

Steffy: Unfortunately, yes, thanks to brooke. Hope’s father is out of prison.

[ Clears throat ]

Hope: Was that you’re not so subtle attempt to bring up my dad?

Liam: Not, not very subtle at all, was it? It’s going to come up eventually. And you did kind of just spring him on us today. I get why you want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I do, but, I feel like it’s my job as your husband, as beth’s father to protect you from people just like deacon, because it’s a pattern, right? You open yourself up to him. He’s going to hurt you. You do it again. He’s going to hurt you again. Because that’s what he does.

Deacon: Just so you know, I got no plans of going back to prison. All right? I’m the textbook example of a fully reformed, productive member of society. Oh, molly? Ching-a-ling. Thank you. No. If whatever you’re pitching here and ain’t the up and up, I don’t want to hear about it.

Sheila: Well, that’s rather presumptuous of you. Don’t you think?

Deacon: Well, you do have a reputation.

Sheila: Oh. A reputation of being the forresters’ favorite target, the one that they have maliciously vilified for years and years is that the reputation you’re talking about?

Deacon: I mean, is it malicious if it’s deserved? I mean, it’s not really just one person either, is it? Although in your defence, I may actually be the forrester’s preferred target. I mean, you kind of got to hand it to them, though, right? I mean, they really can hold a grudge, can’t they? I mean, what was the last thing I ever did to any of them that was bad? Nothing. And they’re all running around with their hair on fire because all I want to do is have a relationship with my daughter.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It’s the same for finn and me. I’m not allowed to have contact with him because of mistakes I made in the past, mistakes that I have apologized for. It’s ridiculous. You know, I’m not going to let the forresters tell me who I can and cannot talk to.

Deacon: Good for you.

Sheila: I deserve a place in my son’s life, as you do hope’S.

Deacon: Look, we deserve it, doesn’t mean we’re going to get it.

Sheila: It’ll happen because we’re going to make it happen. Neither one of us have been too good at this on our own. But if we work together, team up to go after those spiteful, horrible people. Imagine what we could accomplish. Shingles? Oh… you mean bill.

Steffy: It’s remarkable how like balanced and accomplished she is, given that deacon’s her father. Like that could have really messed her up, but thankfully my dad took over the father figure role. And that just shows you like, you and hope, no matter your dna, that doesn’t define you, right? I don’t mean to bring her up or anything, I just–

Finn: It’s okay. I get the correlation.

Steffy: It’s a little bit different for hope. You didn’t know your mom. Hope knew her dad. I mean, he wasn’t involved in her upbringing, but she knew that deacon sharpe was her father. How much he was hated. How how awful he was.

Finn: And now he’s back. He’s out of jail and in her life. I wonder how hope feels about all this.

Hope: I know who my father was and yes, still might be, and I get that you’re worried. But liam, I’m not going to let him take advantage of me or use me, I under–

Liam: Okay, but if he did have a hidden agenda, you wouldn’t know that until it’s too late, right?

Hope: Or, maybe it’s not so hidden. Maybe he genuinely does want to get to know me and actually act like a father, a grandfather. I mean, why do we have to assume the worst of him?

Liam: I just… I think it’s okay to tell some people you’re out of chances. You’re not welcome anymore. Like, okay, your dad, your mom, me. We don’t want deacon in our lives for the same reason none of us want sheila in our lives. Just set aside for a second all the times that deacon has let you down. Right? All the times that he’s abandoned you, put that aside. He’s still a con man, right? He’s blackmailed people. He’s kidnapped people. He just got out of jail for trying to shoot someone. Tell me, you understand why I’m saying the guy should not be a part of our lives.

Deacon: All kidding aside, that was a good pitch, but whatever you’re selling, I’m not buying it.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you know what? If you have to be sold on a relationship with your daughter, then this partnership is probably a bad idea anyway.

Deacon: Of course, I want a relationship with hope, but aligning myself with you isn’t the way to get it.

Sheila: Yeah, but you’re drunk. You’re not seeing the potential.

Deacon: Oh, potential. You wanna talk about potential? Okay, let’s talk about man-eating dobermans or killer bees or whatever the hell else. I’ve heard the stories.

Sheila: I’ve heard stories about yoU. All those ugly things you did. Reformed, or not, neither one of us can claim to be a saint, and that’s what makes collaborating on this so easy. I realized I might be making a deal with the devil, but you know, the truth is we will find a way to be in our children’s lives. I mean, brooke and ridge, they are not going to let you walk through that door and allow hope to let you into her heart. That’s going to take work. Some strategizing. You need my help, deacon. Like it or not, we need each other. Scoot over.

Sheila: You have to admit it makes sense.

Deacon: Sheila, you’re making my head spin all right?

Sheila: No, your head spinning is not because of me.

Deacon: That’s probably right, which means it’s time to get out of here.

Sheila: Whoa, is that a moth I just saw flying out of there?

Deacon: It’s funny.

Sheila: I can take care of this.

Deacon: I can pay my own bills.

Sheila: Yeah, with what? Your library card?

Deacon: Maybe they’ll let me wash dishes or something.

Sheila: That’s just what they want, they want a drunk back there breaking their dishes.

Deacon: I was drunk. Now, i’m just buzzed.

Sheila: Yeah, buzzed and broke it would seem.

Deacon: Yeah, it seems that way, doesn’t it?

Sheila: I’m gonna take care of this, and I’ll call you a car because you shouldn’t be driving like this. Unless you’re right around here. Can you walk home?

Deacon: Home?

Sheila: Deacon, you’ve got nowhere to go? Okay. Well, you do now. You can come stay with me.

Steffy: Was the shower good?

Finn: Oh, yeah, it was great, thank you.

[ Sighs ]

Steffy: You want to talk about it?

Finn: Talk about what?

Steffy: I don’t know. Just seems like there’s something on your mind.

Finn: I was thinking about hope and her dad. And the way he popped back into her life. And obviously, I can relate.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, you can. But with sheila, she showed up uninvited. It’s not the case with deacon. Hope knew her dad was coming.

Finn: Oh, that’s fine. So, does she want a relationship with him?

Steffy: I guess. My dad told me that hope was writing letters to him while he was in prison.

Finn: I can understand why. No matter what he’s done, he’s still her father.

Steffy: A father who disappointed her. He’s hurt the people that she’s cared about. Doesn’t matter if he’s her father. He’s not owed a place in her life. He’s lost that privilege& a long time ago.

Liam: I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, I’m not trying to upset you, I’m just… I’m your husband and I’m worried.

Hope: I know, I know you are. And I appreciate that. But liam? I’m being careful and believe me, I am walking into this with my eyes wide open.

Liam: I know, but I don’t want you to walk into it at all.

[ Baby crying ] I’ll go check on her. Look, all I’m saying is if we want the very best for our family, deacon has to stay away. That’s just he has to be. Before you go there,

Steffy: Even if hope is fantasizing that her father’s changed, that prison reformed him, she’s got kids now. This isn’t about hopE. She needs to think about beth and douglas and do whatever it takes to protect them. She needs to set firm boundaries and keep deacon as far away from the kids and her as possible. Like what I did with sheila. If hope is smart, she’ll realize that applies to deacon as well.

Deacon: Stay with you?

Sheila: Not indefinitely, just until you get on your feet, you know, stay for a few days.

Deacon: You know, the last couple of years in prison, the thing that kept me going, I was thinking that I was going to have a role in hope’s life, and now here I am in a bar, drinking again, drinking with sheila carter. No less. So, if that isn’t something to worry about, I don’t know what is.

Sheila: Did you really expect a different outcome? Did you expect the forresters to suddenly, you know, embrace, you?

Deacon: No, I don’t know. Maybe. I…

Sheila: What are you doing?

Deacon: Calling my daughter.

[ Phone chiming ]

Hope: Hello, dad?

Deacon: Hey, sweetheart. You answered.

Hope: Oh yeah. What’s going on?

Deacon: Look, I don’t want to cause any problems. I just, you know, I just wanted to tell you that I–

Liam: Took a minute, but she’s asleep.

Hope: I’m sorry. I got to go. Goodnight.

Deacon: Okay.

Sheila: Bad cell service?

Deacon: No, she hung up on me.

Sheila: I’ve had the same reaction from finn. But I guarantee you, that’s not what hope wanted. Hey, our kids do care, they do want to know us. It’s just that… you know, steffy and liam, they have so much influence over them. And ridge and brooke too. Who do they think they are? Keeping us from our flesh and blood?

Deacon: They act like, you know, we can’t change or something, you know, that we can’t become better people. I know that I have. Question is, have you?

Sheila: I have.

Deacon: Sheila. Look, I’m sorry, but you know, I just… I just can’t be seen with you. You know, I can’t associate with their enemies.

Sheila: Where are you going?

Deacon: Not to your place.

Sheila: Then, what are you going to do? You gonna sleep on the beach? Under an overpass? Look, I have a safe place to stay. I’ve got money in my wallet. And you clearly don’T. Which means you’re going to get a good meal or two. And I’ve had plenty of this.

Deacon: You have booze?

Sheila: Yeah, I got a decent selection. I’ve got everything at my place that a guy getting out of prison might possibly desire.

Deacon: Yeah, but it comes at a price. I gotta work with you.

Sheila: Look, if we can come together and tell the forresters that they can no longer control us or our children, that’s what we need to do. Look, we have a right to know our children, to know our grandchildren. Doing that on our own, deacon, it’s almost impossible. But doing it together, we can get it done.

Deacon: Two ex-cons pathetically trying to work their way back into their kids lives. What could possibly go wrong? I know I’m going to regret this.

Sheila: No, you’re not. You’re not going to regret being a part of hope’s life. Together, we’re going to make this happen. You do exactly what I say, and we’re going to get our kids back. I promise you. Steffy and the forresters aren’t going to know what hit ’em.

[ Gentle music ]

Steffy: I love that you came by, dad.

Ridge: Of course.

Steffy: It’s great. You just miss finn.

Ridge: Yeah, is he at the hospital?

Steffy: Yeah, life of a doctor.

Ridge: And what about the kiddies?

Steffy: Kiddies are sleeping, so you’re just going to have to settle for your daughter.

Ridge: Ah, my very happy daughter from the look of it.

Steffy: Yeah. Marriage to finn is the best. It’s amazing. I mean, except for–

Ridge: Except for sheila.

Steffy: Yeah. Just knowing that she’s out there lurking somewhere.

Ridge: Well, she is not the only uninvited guest that showed up out of nowhere.

Brooke: I know deacon is your father, honey. But after everything he’s done.

Hope: Mom, please. I already know how you feel about deacon.

Liam: It’s how you feel about him. I mean, you were writing to him in secret. You weren’t telling anyone. You didn’t even tell me.

Hope: And I hated keeping that from you all, but again, I just didn’t want you to worry.

Brooke: Well, of course we were worried. He showed up here like he had every right to be here.

Hope: Because I invited him. He had gotten out, and I thought…

Liam: You wanted to see your father.

Hope: I understand that he has baggage. But–

Brooke: You want to believe that he’s changed.

[ Polka music ]

Deacon: Uno, dos, tres.

[ Grunts ] Oh! Give me one of these. Hi, how would you like to go to acapulco for the weekend? What?

Sheila: Seriously? She is so not into you.

Deacon: I just got to get my mojo back, that’s all.

Sheila: Do you really think a jailbird is gonna catch–

Deacon: Shut up! Come on, you’re gonna ruin this for me.

Sheila: I’m not ruining it, you are. You need to keep focused on what’s important.

Deacon: I was just focusing on what was important.

Sheila: Talking about you and me. What we both want. We both want the same thing. Time with our children. You know, if there’s a will, there’s a way. That has always been my mantra. I need to know that you feel that way too.

Steffy: What are you talking about?

Ridge: Well, hope asked brooke and me to come down to the cabin.

Steffy: For dinner?

Ridge: No, no dinner. No dinner. I don’t even know where to start. Look, I get hope has this great ability to forgive people, but how do you do that after everything. How do you… how do you let that go? How do you allow someone like that in your home?

Steffy: Allowing who in her home?

Ridge: Her father.

Steffy: Deacon?

Ridge: Uh huh. The bad penny’s turned up once again.

Steffy: You’re kidding!

Ridge: No, I’m not. And there’s more.

Hope: Please understand that I know all about deacon’s history, but he is still my dad.

Liam: Of course, he’s your dad, and we know how you feel about second chances, too. But…

Brooke: Deacon has had chance after chance, and every time he’s hurt you and disappointed you.

Liam: Think about our wedding in italy. Like the guy effectively ruined the whole thing.

Hope: Okay, but that was not his idea, it was bill’s idea. He used him–

Brooke: The point is deacon is untrustworthy. He has proven that over and over again. You can’t let him back into your life.

Hope: Mom, please. Please stop. I understand that you have my best interest at heart, both of you. And I love you for it. But I am going into this with my eyes wide open. I have no illusions about my fatheR.

Deacon: Listen, sheila. Whatever kooky schemes you got cooking up–

Sheila: It is not a scheme. It’s a good idea.

Deacon: Call it whatever you want. I want no part of it.

Sheila: You don’t even know what it is.

Deacon: And you know what? I ain’t interested in finding out either. What are you doing?

Sheila: What are you doing? Walking away from the best opportunity you’re ever gonna have to see your daughter and your granddaughter.& That’s what I’m talking about, deacon. Talking about our children and our grandchildren. How we will refuse to be exercised from their lives by the haughty, high-handed forresters and logans. Excuse me, can I get one more shot here? And it’s on me, all right? Come on, you don’t need to rush off, right? It’s not like you have anywhere to go. You’re certainly not gonna go see hope. Brooke probably has the place surrounded with guard dogs by now.

[ Giggling ] You know, all of that could change if you just hear me out.

Deacon: Thank you. Oh. My plaque psoriasis…

Steffy: Thank you so much for fixing that.

Ridge: Anything I can do to help.

Steffy: Still can’t believe it. Hope contacting deacon in prison. Inviting him into her house. Is he still as smug as usual?

Ridge: Well, not according to him. He says he’s a changed person. He’s completely rehabilitated himself because he owed that to hope.

Steffy: Well, hope didn’t completely write him off even though he was behind bars.

Ridge: No. Her letters gave him life.

Steffy: Oh, please! And hope bought it?

Ridge: Fathers and daughters, right? Special bond.

Steffy: Yeah, but deacon? That man is toxic.

Hope: People do change. They can learn from their mistakes.

Brooke: Your father isn’t one of them.

Hope: Well, I’m talking about now. The present. I mean, do you think that maybe incarcerated, locked away by everything and everyone that meant anything to him might have had an impact?

Liam: Hope, we… we realize that as his daughter, of course you’d want that to be true.

Brooke: More than likely, he’s the same old manipulator and you don’t need him in your life, now or ever.

Deacon: You know, you make a very good tequila.

Molly: Thanks.

Deacon: And molly, right?

Molly: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: So about this boyfriend of yours?

Molly: Big, tough, jealous.

Patron: Excuse me?

Deacon: Okay, but what if I told you–

Molly: Sorry. Duty calls.

Deacon: What the hell’s going on here?

Sheila: You’re out of practice.

Deacon: Out of practice. Watch this. Excuse me. Excuse me? Would you like to go ensenada? Because I know you hate acapulco?

Lady: No, thank you.

Sheila: Pathetic.

Deacon: No, you know what it is? You’re cramping my style, all right? Beat it.

Sheila: Oh no.

Deacon: I mean it. Go.

Sheila: Excuse me. Excuse me? Can I get another drink for my friend?

Deacon: I’m not her friend. I’m not your friend.

Sheila: Well, not yet. I mean, but given how much we have in common, I think that it’s going to be that way one day or–yeah!

Deacon: Well, you’re off your rocker. You know that, right? Just like…

Sheila: Why? Because I want to spend time with my son?

Deacon: Right? Your son. The one that married steffy forrester.

Sheila: Finn. Yes.

Deacon: I’m sorry, finn? As in huckleberry? That’s that’s his name? Oh.

Sheila: It’s short for finnegan, his adoptive parents’ last name.

Deacon: Oh, okay.

Sheila: Now, they were wonderful. They gave him a loving, stable home after I gave finn up shortly after he was born.

Deacon: Well, you sure as hell couldn’t have given him a stable home. That’s for damn sure.

Sheila: Yeah, you’re probably right. I wasn’t in a good place back then. I would not have been a good influence on him. That’s why I stayed away.

Deacon: And you stayed away until you found out that old finny boy was getting hitched to a forrester. Then presto! There you are in the flesh, ready to make it happen.

Sheila: Are you insinuating that I would manipulate a situation?

Deacon: Oh no, no, no, no. I’m not insinuating anything. I’m saying it flat out, you’ve manipulated a situation. It’s like who you are. You know, you’re like the grand poobah of manipulations.

Sheila: Yeah, but it… it really wasn’t like that. No, he’s special. He’s a good man. He’s a doctor. He’s handsome, he’s kind, and he and steffy, they have a beautiful, beautiful baby boy together. My grandson, hayes.

Deacon: Hayes? What’s with these names? Do you want this kid to get bullied? I mean, come on. Wait, wait a second, hayes was… hayes was steffy’s mother’s name before she got…

Sheila: Married. Yeah.

Deacon: And this is– just so I understand this, and this is the one that you pumped a couple of bullets into.

Shiela: Why does everybody have to bring that up? No stop it. Look, I’m not here to talk about taylor. All right? I’m here to talk about my flesh and blood.

Deacon: Right, this is the baby that you gave up for adoption, then became a doctor, went on to marry steffy forrester. So now you’re the grandmother, this kid.

Sheila: I’m not making this up.

Deacon: I mean, you know, I have heard all the sordid stories about, you know, you and how you desperately wanted to become a part of the forrester clan. Son of a– you actually did it. Wow. So, that means that this this pure little innocent baby is half forrester and half you? Oh, wow. I’ll drink to that.

Sheila: And boom, right?

Deacon: Wow.

[ Giggling ] Nice work. My hygienist cleans with a round head.

Steffy: When you think about it, hope’s reaction to deacon is very similar to how finn reacted about sheila. I mean, she’s awful, but she’s–

Ridge: It doesn’t change the fact that she’s his birth mother.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, deacon is a loser. He really is. But he is hope’s father, and she can’t quite shake him, even though she should.

Ridge: Same way that finn needs to shake sheila.

Steffy: And he knows he has to do that for our sake, for our family. I just pray hope comes to that conclusion. Deacon is trouble, and he has no place in hope’s life or beth’S. Just like sheila has no place in finn’s or hayes’.

Hope: I hear everything you are both saying.

Brooke: Good. Because deacon will say all the right things, honey. He is a con man.

Hope: Mom, I understand what you are saying, but I’m a grown woman, and this decision wasn’t made impulsively and I’m entitled to want to try to pursue a relationship with my dad.

Brooke: But this isn’t just about you. This is also about your daughter. He wanted to see beth, remember? And thank god she was out with douglas and donna. But what if deacon comes back tomorrow or the next day or the next?

Liam: Exactly. The bottom line is the guy’s not a good influence.

Brooke: And he’s definitely not the kind of person you want to have around beth, ever. You know, he can’t be in her life. You do know that, don’t you?

Deacon: The next round’s on me, ladies.

Sheila: They are so not into you.

Deacon: How can they not be in the me?

Sheila: Why don’t you focus on what’s important?

Deacon: You mean what’s important to you, this whole con thing you got going on?

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, I’m not the con man here, you are. And for the record, I didn’t come into finn’s life to disrupt it.

Deacon: Oh no, no, no. You just happen to show up out of the blue with the most important moment of his life. He’s marrying steffy forrester. Stephanie’s namesake. Your departed arch rival. No, no, no. I’m not buying this. All right? You were probably putting together this poignant little mother-son scheme for months.

Sheila: It wasn’t like that. It was not a manipulation.

Deacon: Whatever it was, this has been fun. But I got better things to do than sit around and listen to you whine about the forresters.

Sheila: Wait a minute, you were the one that was talking about the forresters. Sitting here having a pity party for yourself because they wouldn’t let you see hope. Look, deacon, like it or not, we have something in common. We both want to see our children and we would be. If the forresters weren’t keeping us from seeing them. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Ridge: Deacon needs to stay away from hope and beth if he cares about them at all. Which, for a minute, I don’T… I don’t think he does. I don’t think he cares about ’em.

Steffy: Sheila doesn’t care about finn, either. If she did, she wouldn’t have revealed to him that she was his birth mother. She knew it was going to create chaos, but that’s what she lives for. Upending lives.

Ridge: Same with this clown. He knew there was going to be fireworks, but it didn’t stop them.

Steffy: That’s why it’s really important for hope and finn to not have any contact with their criminal sick parents. I made it very clear to finn. I’m just praying that liam does the same for hope.

Hope: Mom, I will always protect my little girl and do what’s best for her.

Brooke: Of course you will, honey. Because you’re a wonderful, loving mother. But deacon looks for vulnerabilities in people, and he exploits them. I just want you to be careful.

Liam: That’s all I want. I mean, I’ll admit it, I don’t know everything about your dad because most of it happened before we even met, but, it, it kind of freaked me out that you were secretly corresponding with him.

Brooke: Deacon is dangerous and so is sheila, and they both need to be kept away from their families at all costs.

Deacon: I’m just going to say this once, all right? I don’t want to be a part of whatever it is that you’re suggesting.

Sheila: Why not?

Deacon: Because if I ever want to have a relationship with hope and my granddaughter, I can’t be associating with a sheila-devil like you.

Sheila: A sheila-devil?

Deacon: Truth hurts, sorry.

Sheila: Oh, truth. The truth. Is that what we’re talking about here right now? Why don’t we talk about the true life of a deacon sharpe, huh? Deacon the has-been drunk. Deacon, the ex-con. Deacon, the liar extraordinaire. You know, hanging out with you. It wouldn’t exactly boost my reputation, either.

Deacon: Oh, your reputation. Okay. Listen, next to you, I’m a saint.

Sheila: Okay. Look, let’s just not do this. All right? It’s bad enough that we have the forresters dictating our lives, telling us who we can and can’t see. If you and I start attacking each other, too, I mean, we’re not the problem. Steffy forrester is the problem. My son wants to see me. There’s no way steffy is ever going to let me see finn or hayes.

Deacon: You know, I’m the one who’s getting ganged up on here. Brooke and ridge, liam. You know, they’re triple teaming me. I mean, it’s all sorts of wrong, too, because hope reached out to me first.

Sheila: She reached out to you because she cares about you, deacon. Just like finn cares about me. I really think that if we can reach out to hope and finn and work together on this–

Deacon: Come on, no. We’re not working together, all right? I mean, come on, you’re frigging nuts, lady. We can’t do– look, this has been fun, but I got to go find some action and it’s not here, okay?

Sheila: Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Wait. Come on. Please. We can take down the forresters. I am desperate here. Please, deacon. We can’t do this alone. Together, we can do anything. Anything.

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: You should be in prison, not here, manipulating your daughter.

Hope: I invited him, ridge, he’s not doing anything wrong.

Brooke: Do I need to remind you of every thing deacon has done in the past?

Deacon: I took full responsibility.

Ridge: No one is buying your “father of the year” routine.

Deacon: You know what, I did my time, and I got out for good behavior, thanks to hope, for helping me through it.

Liam: Why, why didn’t you mention anything?

Hope: Because of this! I mean, because of how everyone is reacting.

Ridge: Because we’re here to protect you, that’s what we’re doing.

Brooke: And why now, honey? We were finally freed of him.

Hope: Because, in spite of everything, this man is still my father.

Deacon: Look, she invited me, brooke, and I wanted to come. I’m glad I did. It’s been way too long, sweetheart.

Brooke: You’re not going to come here again. And you’re not gonna see hope again either. Tell him, honey, please. Tell him he can’t be a part of your life.

Steffy: Well, look what we have here.

[ Chuckling ]

Finn: You like?

Steffy: I…love.

Finn: Mm-hm.

Steffy: I love you and all of this. What is the occasion?

Finn: Oh, you didn’t hear?

Steffy: What?

Finn: It’s steffy forrester appreciation day.

Steffy: Oh, is it?

Finn: Yeah. It was blowing up on social media. Hashtags and everything, all of it, the influencers–

Steffy: Really?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I’m pretty sure it’s international puppy day, but…

Finn: Oh, is it?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Well, they’re gonna have to share the day with the dynamic, gorgeous woman who is way cuter than any puppy I’ve ever seen.

Steffy: Aww. This makes me feel so appreciated, so…honored and adored. This is really sweet.

Finn: Well, it should. Because you’re my world.

Steffy: You’re amazing. BuT… why is it so blissfully quiet in here?

Finn: Ah, see hayes, sleeping. Kelly, I tried to keep her up as long as I could, but she was too exhausted after her dance clasS.

Steffy: Aww.

Finn: I figured you could just sneak in later and tuck her in.

Steffy: I will. You’re the best.

Finn: Well, I knew you were on your way home and figured that you’d had a long day.

Steffy: You know me well. Besides being with the kids, I have to say, there is nothing else I’d rather do, than be alone with my husband.

[ Hayes fussing ]

Finn: Hm. No, no, no.

Steffy: No!

[ Both chuckling ]

Finn: That wasn’t even five minutes.

Steffy: That little boy doesn’t want to miss out on anything.

Finn: Mm-hm.

Deacon: Look, I get it, okay? Y’all hate me. Not a big secret. But something tells me hope might not share your opinion.

Brooke: She hardly even knows you.

Deacon: I’m trying to change that. I mean, come on, she’s a grown woman. I think she’s entitled to make her own decision, whether or not she wants me in her life.

Brooke: She doesn’t want you around.

Ridge: Nobody wants you around.

Brooke: You’re a liar and a thief, and a terrible excuse for a–

Ridge: Slow down a second. I mean, hope turned out the way she did, because he wasn’t around, so give him some credit.

Liam: Guys, this is a lot, right now. It’s a lot to process. I think, in the meantime, though, you should leave.

Ridge: You should leave, before the kids come home.

Deacon: I’d like to meet my granddaughter. I want to see beth.

Liam: Okay, no that’s, I’m drawing the line. You gotta go, now.

Ridge: Get out.

Hope: Wait! I have something to say.

Hope: Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to do this with all of us together, I am sorry, if you feel blindsided and upset. I really thought I would have more time to, to talk about it with you all, and dad, I didn’t, I didn’t mean to ambush you–

Deacon: Sweetheart, it’s fine. No need for apology.

Brooke: Honey, nobody is blaming you for wanting to get to know your father better. You have a big heart, and you want to see the best in people, but you can’t be vulnerable to deacon. I know that’s not something that you want to hear.

Ridge: Your mom is right. He’s conned his way through his life, he wasn’t here, he didn’t raise you.

Deacon: I wish I could have been there more. I tried. I did, not hard enough. Look, I’ve made a lot of mistakes, I admit that, but I didn’t come here to make excuses, I came here to see you, see you all grown up. Hope, you’re a mother and a wife, you have your own clothing line. I am so proud of you. You deserve every success, every happiness in the world. And the fact that we were able to keep in touch through your letters, it meant a lot to me. And the fact that we’re able to do this, it’s incredible, but I love you too much to cause you any pain. It’s obvious what your family thinks about me, so i’ll tell you what. I’m not gonna cause any trouble. I’ll take off. I want you to know two things. I think about you all the time, and I will never stop loving you, because you’re my daughter, and nobody can take that away from us.

Ridge: See, that’s a speech, right? It’s good, it was long, but it was good. Where did you rehearse that, on the bus?

Deacon: See, there’s that winning personality I missed.

Ridge: And what do you know about winning?

Brooke: He’s just trying to protect hope.

Liam: Which is something ridge has done her entire life. Can you say the same? Can you?

Ridge: All right, time’s up. Let’s go.

Hope: Dad…

Deacon: It’s all right, honey. Don’t worry about it.

Brooke: Just leave, deacon. That’s something you’re good at.

[ Door clicking ]

Steffy: You’re like the baby whisperer. He never goes right back to sleep when I go in there.

Finn: What can I say, I got the magic touch.

Steffy: That is so unfair.

Finn: All right, if I’m being honest, I told him one of my dad jokes, he fell right asleep.

Steffy: Yeah, that sounds about right.

Finn: Yeah.

[ Both laughing ]

Steffy: This is so nice.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: Such a cozy, little setup.

Finn: I didn’t want to overdo it. But, I may have made a playlist.

Steffy: Ooh, really?

Finn: Oh, yeah. All your favorite songs.

Steffy: Yeah?

Finn: Yeah, and none of the kids ones. I love those but we’re not listening to those–

Steffy: Oh baby, you really do love me. I can’t, I can’t either.

Finn: I love you more than you can imagine.

Steffy: I love you. I think we’re, we’re pretty good at this, you know, this whole marriage, kid thing.

Finn: Yeah, we are.

Steffy: Yeah, I know we’ve had some bumps along the way, but I truly feel like we got past all the hard stuff. The big one, obviously, sheila. That was a big challenge we weren’t anticipating, but I really think she got the message. She cannot be part of our family.

Brooke: Honey. What were you thinking?

Liam: I mean, did, do you really think that was safe? Bringing deacon into our home?

Hope: I can’t believe you are trying to talk me out of this.

Brooke: For good reason!

Ridge: Hey. I know he’s your father, but he really isn’T. He’s a low-life criminal. You don’t need him in your life.

Bartender: What can I get ya?

Deacon: What do you got?

Bartender: A boyfriend.

Deacon: Ouch. Lucky guy. What’s your name?

Bartender: Molly.

Deacon: Okay, molly, uh, you know what, I’ll have a soda and lime. Eh, you know what? Screw that. Make it a tequila soda and lime, the starting point for all great decisions.

Molly: You got it.

Sheila: Excuse me. Could I get a vodka martini up, a little dirty with three olives, please?

Molly: Coming right up.

Deacon: Figured you more for a pina colada.

Sheila: Right.

Deacon: Sheila? Sheila carter?

Sheila: Deacon.

 

Liam: So, why did you contact him?

Hope: Look, I get that none of you are fans of his, and that is why I didn’t want you worrying.

Liam: Look, it’s not that. I didn’t even realize you were interested in pursuing a relationship with your dad.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t sure about it then, and I’m still not sure. I haven’t seen him in years, and I haven’t had that much of a chance to get to know him as an adult, but I don’t know, now that I have children, something changed, okay? I can’t explain it. I felt compelled to reach out to him, and to try to make an effort to understand him better, and that is why I started writing him letters. That is all. Believe me, I am not trying to excuse what he has done in the past.

Brooke: Honey, you can’t count on him. You can’t believe one word that comes out of his mouth.

Ridge: Maybe he didn’t ask you for money today, but it will happen, the day will come.

Hope: Okay, do any, any of you trust my judgment?

Liam: It’s not–

Hope: At all!

Liam: Hope, it’s not about your judgment. It’s the fact that he has only ever failed you, so why would we let him do it again?

Brooke: Honey, let this be it. Don’t have anything more to do with deacon.

Sheila: You know, I am surprised to see you, deacon. I thought they locked you up and threw the key away.

Deacon: And I thought they carted you away in a straight-jacket. What, they kick you out for being too crazy?

Sheila: They kick you out for being an idiot?

Deacon: What, are you kidding me? They loved me in the joint.

Sheila: I’ll bet you they did.

Deacon: Ha ha. I mean the guards, I had them wrapped around my finger.

Sheila: Do you remember when you almost got me thrown in prison?

Deacon: Oh, you’re not still holding a grudge, are you? Come on, sheila, that was a long time ago.

Sheila: The forresters thought that I am the one that shot at quinn. But, it turned out to be just another one of your crazy, crazy schemes.

Deacon: One of my, one of my schemes? Are you kidding me? I’m a boy scout, compared to you. I mean, look, the forresters might dislike me, but they despise you. You’re like #1 on their enemy list.

Sheila: Yeah, well, what about you? Is somebody gonna come charging in here and drag your ass back to jail?

Deacon: Not that it’s any of your business, but I’ve been released. Free and clear.

Sheila: Then why are you in such a lousy mood?

Deacon: I went to see my daughter.

Sheila: Is that hope?

Deacon: Yep. I want to have a relationship with her, but brooke, ridge, and her husband made it pretty damned clear that that’s not going to be in the cards.

Sheila: Wow. Looks like you and me have a lot more in common than we thought.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Finn: Look at him. He’s still awake.

Steffy: Well, he’s slowly falling asleep. He could be ready for the club… but–

[ Laughing ]

Finn: Just when you think we’re going to get some alone time, he’s like, “no, no, no, you don’T. Sorry mom and dad, no.”

Steffy: He’s such a charmer. So cool, you know, seeing him do something new everyday.

Finn: That’s what makes being a parent so rewarding.

Steffy: Mm hm, it’s such a huge responsibility, but honestly, it’s worth the anxiety. Just look at him. So helpless, you know? So sweet. I just feel like I… go into, you know, mama bear mode.

Finn: Hm. You’ll do anything for your kids.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: We both will.

Steffy: I hope you feel the same way. Sheila can have no role in our lives. No communication whatsoever.

[ Phone dinging ]

Hope: Well, is something wrong?

Finn: It’s her.

Hope: Sheila?

Hope: Have you considered that maybe I kept this from you because I wanted to explore the possibilities on my own?

Brooke: Honey, there are no possibilities where deacon is concerned.

Ridge: He is the same loser he’s always been, he hasn’t changed.

Liam: I know you want to believe he can change, but you know, the stakes are pretty high, right? So, what if your mom and ridge are right about this?

Hope: You’re all acting as if I don’t know my own father. As if I didn’t grow up hearing the stories about how he has been reckless and dishonest and selfish in the past, but that doesn’t make him forever irredeemable.

Brooke: The only good thing he has ever done is help create you.

Ridge: And that’s it. He’s a lost cause.

Liam: But hey, you tried, right?

Hope: It is not that easy for me to give up on him.

Brooke: I understand, honey, but you have to. Look at the wonderful family that you have with liam, the life that you have. Do you really want deacon coming in here, and causing chaos?

Liam: Especially when we have our own kids to think about, now?

Hope: Look, I get why you are all concerned, but no matter what he has done in the past, it doesn’t change the fact that he is still my father.

Deacon: I can’t see my daughter.

Sheila: I can’t see my son.

Deacon: You have a son? What did you, adopt a turtle?

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: I gave birth to a boy a long time ago, and he just married steffy forrester.

Deacon: For real?

Sheila: Mm-hm.

Deacon: Wow.

Sheila: But I’m forbidden to see him.

Deacon: Well, I can’t really blame him there.

Sheila: Yeah, well, you know, I can’t blame brooke and ridge either, for not wanting you to be a part of hope’s life.

Deacon: The forresters, you know, they’re so high and mighty.

Sheila: Yeah, it’s like they’ve never done anything wrong in their privileged, little lives.

Deacon: Are you kidding me? They’ve had, they’ve had more scandals than everybody in this place, combined.

Sheila: Yeah, are we really that bad? Don’t, don’t answer that. Don’t answer that.

Deacon: I wasn’t going to.

Sheila: What if, what if we come together on this? Put our heads together and come up with something where we both get what we want.

Deacon: Wait a second, are you suggesting that you and I work together? Wow.

Sheila: You should be flattered that I even considered it.

Deacon: Creeped out is more like it. I just got a chill crawling up my spine.

Sheila: What spine.

Deacon: Very funny.

Sheila: You need me, deacon.

Deacon: Yeah, like a hole in the head.

Sheila: Look at you. God, you’ve been given a new chance at life, and you’re sitting here feeling sorry for yourself, moping around with your, your tail between your legs. God, are you really going to let the forresters win?

Deacon: I don’t give a damn about them. All I care about is hope.

Sheila: Well then, don’t give up. I’m not. I certainly am going to be a part of my son’s life.

Deacon: Well, I am going to have a relationship with hope, but how?

[ Sheila dryly chuckling ]

Sheila: Well, for the first time in your miserable life, you’re right, deacon. We are going to see our children. You are going to be with hope, and I’m going to be with finn and my grandson. The forresters, they don’t stand a chance with the two of us together, they don’t stand a chance.
