Hope: We do make a really great team. I know we do. What is going on with me?

Brooke: Oh, hi, honey. Wow, you got here early. Oh, okay, so I set the table and ridge is on his way over.

Hope: Well actually, I’m– I’m so sorry to be doing this to you, mom, but we won’t be joining you for dinner tonight. I just– I need to spend some alone time with liam and the kids, they– they’re um, spending the night at their friends, so.

Brooke: Is everything all right? Something with you and thomas.

Hope: What? No, there’s– there’s no me and thomas.

>>Brooke: No, I– I just meant–

Hope: Mom, it’s– it’s fine. Everything’s fine, so. I hope you enjoy your night with ridge.

Thomas: We didn’t want you spending the whole night by yourself.

Steffy: Well, thank you for stopping by and helping me get the kids to sleep, especially while finn is working.

Thomas: Does he live here by the way? ‘Cause I never see him. He’s always at the hospital.

Steffy: What can I say? That’s life being married to a devoted doctor.

Thomas: He is devoted, all right.

Taylor: You know, I have a question. How do you really feel about finn saving sheila’s life?

Liam: Hi. Uh, what– what’s– what’s this?

Hope: I just, I– I wanted to do something special and romantic for my husband since we, um, got into our little disagreement at work.

Liam: Um, yeah. Uh, where– where are the– the– the kids?

Hope: Oh. Uh, douglas and beth are at a sleepover. I just wanted some time for us alone tonight so we could reconnect because I– I am really grateful for you and how patient you’ve been. I know it hasn’t been easy, me working with thomas.

Taylor: You know, I can’t imagine how overwhelming that must have been for finn, you know, trying to process all those emotions while making a pivotal decision.

Thomas: Trying to keep sheila alive.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Well, finn had to fulfill his duty as a doctor and honestly, I don’t think he would’ve been able to live with himself if he hadn’t intervened.

Thomas: Well, um, so far as I know, it seems that sheila is stable and incarcerated.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s what I heard too.

Steffy: Sheila carter is finally behind bars.

Taylor: Thanks to the dynamic duo of your dad and bill.

Steffy: Well, it makes sense why dad’s been M.I.A. For so long.

Thomas: Yeah, that actually, uh, brings up a little question. Why– why are you here? Shouldn’t you be hanging out with dad?

Taylor: No, what? Come on. As– as a matter of fact, your dad is having dinner with brooke.

Ridge: I brought you this bottle of french water you like so much.

Brooke: Oh, la, la. My favorite.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Thank you for coming, ridge.

Ridge: Of course. Where’s everybody? I thought it was gonna be hope, liam, the kids.

Brooke: Oh, yes, well, it was supposed to be everybody, but then hope canceled on me in the last minute and decided she’d rather spend some time with her husband.

Ridge: Okay, so it’s just the two of us.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. As much as I wanted to have a family dinner, I’m happy to have you all to myself.

Liam: I mean, you– I don’t know, you looked right into my eyes and– and you told me you weren’t gonna be working with thomas anymore.

Hope: Because that– that was the plan. I didn’t want to work with him, liam. Then, I was presented with some hard truths and I changed my mind and I’m allowed to do that.

Liam: You are. No, of course you are. Um and I’m– I know that you’re under a lot of pressure. It’s just walking in on what I walked in on wasn’t helping.

Hope: I fell and thomas tried to break that fall and– liam, you have been nothing but supportive and respectful of my career. I mean, I– I know you– you’re one of my biggest advocates for hope for the future.

Liam: Of course, I am. I’m– I’m so proud, I am so deeply proud of everything that you’ve accomplished. And I mean, god, if I, you know, if– if I haven’t made that clear, then maybe that’s on me.

>>Hope: No, liam, liam. I feel your support. Even in our disagreements, like today. I can feel how much you love me and I appreciate it so much. And so, tonight, all I wanna do is spend every minute of the rest of the evening showing you exactly how much I love and appreciate you.

Thomas: So, dad’s with brooke tonight?

Steffy: At her place. Just the two of them?

Thomas: Like a date.

Taylor: I don’t think so. No, I mean, it’s– it’s um– it’s hope and liam and the kiddos too, so…

Thomas: Oh, so just with his other family?

Steffy: Wait, you and brooke agreed to swear off dad.

Taylor: Yes, that is the plan. But, you know, your dad just got back and brooke just, you know, she wanted to have dinner with– with her family, you know?

Thomas: Sure, and that makes sense. I mean, I’m sure everyone’s gonna be okay so long as brooke doesn’t cook.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Look, we’re not suggesting that you need to be concerned or anything.

[ Taylor groaning ]

Taylor: Listen, brooke and I made a promise to each other. You know, we– we’re putting our friendship over feelings.

Steffy: Including dad?

Taylor: Especially him, yes.

Thomas: So, he’s just hanging out over at his old house where he used to live with his ex-wife for years.

Taylor: Ah-ha, yep. Yep, that’s where he is.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: And hope and liam and beth and douglas are there. Come on, it’s– it’s not a cozy dinner for two.

Ridge: This is good, good. Does it have shallots in it?

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: You’ll have to ask the chef at il giardino. I ordered from deacon.

Ridge: Deacon?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Well, he deserves a big tip. He helped us with sheila.

Brooke: You know who deserves a big tip? You do because you were determined to get sheila out of our lives and that’s exactly what you did. So, cheers, to you.

Ridge: Cheers.

Brooke: Mm. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and have this very peaceful dinner with sheila out there running around and that’s thanks to you and bill and deacon.

Ridge: It was a rough couple of months, but it was worth it.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s been crazy.

Ridge: So, what else? What did I miss? How’s liam with thomas and hope working together?

Brooke: It’s been a bit of a strain on their marriage.

Ridge: I’m sorry to hear that. For what it’s worth, I think thomas has changed.

Brooke: I don’t disagree.

Ridge: You don’t what?

Brooke: I don’t–

Ridge: You don’t disagree. Where’s that coming from?

Brooke: Okay. I am being, I’m being–

Ridge: Cautiously.

Brooke: Cautiously optimistic.

Ridge: Same.

Brooke: Yeah. I just wish thomas never came between us.

Ridge: Yeah. He owns what he did and so do I. I wish I would’ve talked to you, but I didn’t and that’s why we are where we are.

Brooke: Yeah. For bathroom odors that linger.

Liam: I hate when we argue.

Hope: Oh, we rarely do.

Liam: Yeah, but I really, really, really hate when we argue about thomas.

Hope: I know. I don’t even want to think about him tonight.

Liam: Okay.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Hope: Um, I’m just– I’m gonna silence it.

Liam: Thank you. Just two of us, kind of nice. Maybe– maybe we can use more nights like this.

Hope: We do. We can use more.

Brooke: Aren’t you glad I didn’t cook?

Ridge: Why– why would you say that? Your cooking is always interesting.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, that was my welcome home gift to you.

Ridge: That was your gift to me? Not cooking was your gift?

Brooke: Well, we all know that cooking is not my talent but you, on the other hand…

Ridge: I can whip up a steak or two.

>Brooke: Mm-hmm. Always very tender.

Ridge: The steak, you mean?

Brooke: Oh, do you remember? Oh, my gosh.

Ridge: Remember what?

Brooke: When rj was little and he made us that breakfast in bed. Remember? For our anniversary?

Ridge: Oh, when he almost walked in on us?

Brooke: Yeah. Oh, my god, I’m so glad that never happened. But he was so cute carrying that tray, which was as big as he was.

Ridge: Oh, he was– he was very sweet. And the oatmeal was good. He didn’t get the cooking skill from you. He’s– it was all great until, after…

Brooke: Oh, god, yeah, it was after.

Ridge: Yeah, because he wanted to clean up.

Brooke: That was so sweet.

Ridge: It’s very sweet. It’s very sweet. It’s not sweet to put dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher.

Brooke: I know.

Ridge: Suds everywhere, remember that?

Brooke: Oh, that was a disaster.

Ridge: It was up our knees.

Brooke: It was everywhere.

Ridge: We had a suds fight, the three of us.

Brooke: We were slipping and falling and I almost fell out of my top.

Ridge: What? Oh yeah, I do remember.

Brooke: Oh, I remember. Oh, my gosh. We were laughing and laughing. Oh, it’s– it’s funny. It’s nice, you know, to go down memory lane with you. Just kind of warms my heart.

Ridge: And mine too. It’s nice to laugh.

Brooke: It is. I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve missed you.

Ridge: I’ve missed you.

Brooke: Well, at least no matter what happens in the future, we always have our memories, right? Our incredible memories.

Ridge: It’s getting late.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is.

Ridge: Um, if it’s okay with you, I’ll just finish my wine and you can– you can go to bed.

Brooke: Okay, yeah. Are you sure?

Ridge: Yeah, I’ll lock up.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: I had a nice time.

Brooke: Me too. I did too. Oh. Well.

Ridge: Well.

Brooke: Good night.

Ridge: Good night. I brought in ensure max protein,

[ Both panting ]

Thomas: What is it?

Liam: What’s wrong?

Hope: Nothing, I’m fine.

Liam: Okay, okay.

Thomas: Has brooke ever been able to resist dad before?

Taylor: No.

Thomas: I mean, her feelings for him are pretty intense.

Steffy: Mom, I’m sure brooke values your friendship as much as you do. I’m just hoping that she holds up her end of the agreement.

Taylor: We will see. You know, brooke is a grown woman and so am I, and we made a promise to each other. Honesty and integrity when it comes to your dad. We’re gonna stick to it. Simple.

Brooke: Oh. Oh, god, ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: You’re still here. What, what are you doing?

Ridge: Uh, I told you I was gonna finish my wine. What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep.

Brooke: I was, I just was gonna wash my face and crawl in bed and I realized I didn’t blow out the candles.

Ridge: I told you I was gonna take care of that. I was gonna lock up before I left.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah. I must’ve dozed off. What, um, you sleep in that?

Brooke: Ah, yes, why?

Ridge: Lucky sheets.

Brooke: The same sheets you used to sleep on.

Ridge: I remember.

Brooke: Mm. It wasn’t that long ago.

Ridge: No, some things, they just pop back in your head, especially seeing… seeing that?

Brooke: Yeah, well, some things are hard to forget, huh?

Ridge: Some things are worth remembering.

Brooke: How’s that wine?

Ridge: It’s good and expensive, just how I like it.

Brooke: You’re savoring every sip.

Ridge: Or maybe I just don’t wanna leave.

Brooke: Yeah, I know the feeling. I was upstairs thinking about how nice it is that you’re here. You and me under the same roof, the way it used to be. I miss it.

Ridge: I miss you.

Brooke: You know… taylor and I, we made a pact and I would like to honor it. So, you and I, we can’T.

Ridge: Yeah, I know.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Excuse me. Okay, good night.

Brooke: Oh, oops.

[ Dramatic music ]

Liam: Okay, first, get–

Thomas: Okay.

Liam: Okay, first, get– get your hands off my wife. What the hell?

Steffy: I am so proud of you. Truly.

Taylor: You know, we all are.

Ridge: Yeah?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: So, you’re not upset that I stayed away so long?

Steffy: So you and bill could send sheila to prison for the rest of her life? No, I– I forgive your absence.

Taylo okay, well, I have to say that I am– I’m not a huge fan of the entire strategy.

Ridge: Okay, and– and I hated that we couldn’t tell you what was going on, but it was too big a risk. I hope you get that. And I’m so sorry for all the heartache that we put you through.

Taylor: Thank you for the apology, but this is definitely an “end justifies the means” situation.

Steffy: Assuming they do. I mean, sheila isn’t exactly behind bars just yet.

Ridge: If she makes it to a hospital, that’s exactly where she’s gonna be. She confessed. It’s all recorded.

Taylor: Ah! Job well done. All of you. But I don’t want to talk about sheila anymore, okay?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Or ever again.

Ridge: Yeah, no, I think you’re right. Let’s– let’s talk about something else. I had a conversation with thomas and I was impressed.

Taylor: Did you clear the air?

Ridge: I think that’s gonna take a minute, but he seemed honest and sincere and um… I’m glad he’s working at forrester again. Although, I have to say, I’m a little surprised that he’s working at hope for the future, knowing how liam feels about the two of them working together.

Liam: Are you okay?

Hope: Yes. Liam, this isn’t–

Liam: This is exactly what I was afraid of. I swear to god.

Thomas: Hey, you got it all wrong.

Liam: No, you’ve got it all wrong if you think you could touch my wife!

Hope: Liam, what are you doing?

Liam: If you ever, ever do that again, you sick son of a bitch, I swear to god.

Thomas: You have to calm down, all right? This is not what you think.

Liam: What I think is what I saw. Leave, now.

Thomas: My name is on the building.

Liam: I don’t care! Get the hell out!

[ Liam panting ] I can’t– I can’t– I can’t do this anymore. I– I’ve been so supportive, I’ve been taking care of you and the kids, I don’t deserve to come in here and see you on the couch with your hands on each other. How much more am I expected to take, hope? (Wheezing)

Ridge: Things are going well so far with thomas and hope.

Steffy: So far. They do make quite the good team.

Taylor: Yeah, and she knows it. Otherwise, she never would’ve let him back on her line.

Steffy: Because hope sees what we do, that thomas is making improvements. He’s taking steps. Positive steps to better himself.

Taylor: Oh, howdy.

Thomas: Mom, hi. Didn’t know you’d be here.

Taylor: Yeah, well, some of my favorite people hang out here. What is it?

Ridge: Something wrong?

Thomas: Um, I’m not sure.

Steffy: What does that mean?

Thomas: Uh, hope was modelling one of my latest designs. She was up on the riser and um, I was making adjustments.

Steffy: Thomas, what did you do?

Thomas: Nothing. I– I– I– I caught her. She fell off the riser and I broke her fall.

Taylor: Okay, that– that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing.

Thomas: Right, it doesn’T. It’s not a bad thing other than she– when she fell, she fell into me and uh, we fell into the couch, and then liam walked in to the door.

Steffy: Oh.

Thomas: He was angry. He was blinded by his hatred for me and started yelling and then told me I need to leave and uh, so instead of escalating the situation, I left. The old me would not have done that.

Ridge: And he didn’t let you explain at all?

Thomas: No, but I can’t exactly fault him for that. I mean, look, what I’ve done in the past with his wife, him looking out for her, of course he reacted that way.

Steffy: So, you– you promise that this is completely innocent, right?

Thomas: I promise.

Taylor: And liam probably thinks you orchestrated the whole thing, right?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah, probably. Hope is over there. She’s talking to him right now. Hopefully, she can help him see the truth in the situation. I just hope this doesn’t cause issues in their marriage.

Hope: Liam, please let me explain.

Liam: What did– what– what is there to explain? I called this. I totally called this.

Hope: What you walked in on is not at all what you think it is.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause what I think I walked in on was you two on the couch with his hands all over you.

Hope: Because I fell. We were in a fitting and I was up on that riser and I lost my balance and I started to fall, thomas tried to catch me and we both fell. So that– that is what you walked in on. But really, honestly, the most hurtful part about that reaction was the fact that you think I would willingly put myself in that position.

Liam: Do you really not understand how that looked?

Hope: You wanna know what it looks like? It looks like I have a husband who does not trust me. I mean me, after all of these years, and– and one that is so ready to jump to the– to the craziest, most incorrect conclusion because you’ve decided that thomas is not capable of change. I mean, you were just so chomping at the bit for him to mess up. But really, what takes the cake is that you think that I, little me, don’t know how to handle myself around him. I mean, liam, you talk about being supportive and what you’ve had to endure? Well, what about me? What about everything that I have had to endure? The trust that I have had to put into you? After everything you’ve done in the past? Let’s talk about that?

Liam: I don’t know what to say here. How many times have I told you that it’s not you I don’t trust. It’s never been you. Okay, let’s say this time is innocent. What about the next time? Or the time after that? Or the time after that because hope, it’s a-coming. It’s coming, unless you hold up a hand and you say enough is enough. The man is toxic and he has to go.

Hope: Okay, all right. So, I’m just supposed to, you know, lose my line because my husband–

Liam: Because I don’t trust him and neither should you! Why on earth would you trust him at this point? He knew beth was alive! He watched us grieve and he said nothing! Because that is how far he is willing to go to have you and he’s proven it. The man is and always has been demented!

Hope: He’s not that man. And you are acting as if my word carries no weight. I have told thomas that if I see him start to backslide into that version of himself, he is gone. And I mean it. But liam, guess what? I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I don’t because I believe he has changed and the time that we spend together is strictly professional, that is it. The real thing… is why… why don’t you believe me?

Liam: Because you keep finding new reasons to invite him into your life. Why do you do that? Why do you do that? Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Steffy: If liam’s freaking out, it could change hope’s mind about working with you.

Thomas: Yeah, and I’m sure he’s trying to convince her to take me off the line right now. And hopefully, she can– she can speak that truth into him and he can see the situation for what it is.

Taylor: You know what? At this point, it sounds like more of a hope and liam situation and you can’t control that. You just need to remember that– that we believe in you and we know the changes that you’ve made and we have your back, always.

Ridge: We’ve got your back because I think you’re on the right path for the first time in a long time. So don’t let liam or hope or anyone throw you off it. You can do this.

Thomas: That means the world to me. I mean, I– I made a lot of mistakes, but… without your faith in me, all of you, I never would have moved past that. You know, I– I made a lot of horrible mistakes and I turned into a wretched person, but I had to be able to put that out on the table. I had to put my obsession with hope, my lies, my manipulations, everything that I used to participate in, that– that ate at me from the inside and I let it all out and it was really hard to do that, but I finally put that down and I realized that that doesn’t define me. It’s not who I am and that’s thanks to your love. You’ve shown me that I don’t always be that. I can be something so much better and I love you all for it, and none more than you, mom, because you… you’re the glue that holds this family together, you know? You make us a team.

Ridge: Team taylor? Is it too soon or?

Thomas: No. Team taylor. And I’ll say it again because you won’t say it about yourself. Team taylor.

Taylor: I love you.

Thomas: I love you too.

Hope: Do you even need to ask that? Why I was put in this position where I need the one designer who’s proven that he can make hope for the future a huge success?

Liam: I know what hope for the future means to you. I know the blood and sweat and tears that you’ve put into it. It’s your baby. It’s your legacy, but that’s the thing. It’s your legacy, not thomas’. Yours.

Hope: I had no other choice. I mean, you know what I was facing, steffy pulling my line.

Liam: What you were facing was an obstacle. Steffy is smart enough to know this. She’s smart enough to know that there are other designers out there, but thomas happens to be her brother and she’s loyal to him. You don’t need him. You don’T.

Hope: Yes, I do. Because we are hope for the future now.

Liam: Oh, my god. Don’t– don’t say that. Don’t say we. Do you hear– do you know what that implies?

Hope: A working relationship, liam. That is it. It’s not personal. It’s just business.

Liam: Can we just go home?

Hope: Home? Liam, it’s the middle of the day and I– I still have work to do.

Liam: With him?

Hope: With thomas, yes.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Liam. Liam.

Liam: It’s okay.

Hope: Liam.

[ Elevator dinging ]

Taylor: So team taylor, huh?

Thomas: That’s right. Better and stronger than ever.

Ridge: Well.

Steffy: Couldn’t agree more, especially now that sheila is out of our lives for good.

Ridge: Ding, dong, the witch is dead. And you know what? I’m thrilled about that, but I’m thrilled about something else. I look into your eyes and I see something that I haven’t seen before, and I’m not sure what it is, but it seems to me that the little boy is gone and there’s maturity. Do you see it? Look.

Thomas: I– I– you know what? I think you’re right. Because I– I feel a change. I am a different person and uh, I appreciate you all seeing it too.

Steffy: Happens to the best of us.

Thomas: And I’m gonna make you all proud. I promise that. And hope too.

Taylor: Okay, well, I don’t know about hope, but you’ve already made me proud.

Ridge: Here, here.

Taylor: Yes.

Thomas: Should we– yes, let’s do it.

Taylor: Bring it in.

Thomas: All right. Okay. Awkward family hug done. I am gonna–

Ridge: Where are you going?

Thomas: Well, I’m still a designer for this company, last time I checked, and so until hope tells me otherwise, I got some designing to do.

Brooke: Most of my life,

I felt like I’ve needed a man,

and usually, it’s been the

wrong man.

Liam: Get your hands

off my wife.

I don’t trust him and neither

should you! Why on earth

would you trust him

at this point?

He knew beth was alive!

He watched us grieve

and he said nothing

because that is how far

he is willing to go to have you

and he’s proven it.

The man is and always has

been demented!

Don’t say we. Do you hear–

do you know what that implies?

Hope: A working

relationship, liam

and that is it.

It’s not personal,

it’s just business.

Brooke: I’m just happy

you haven’t been drawn

to the bad boy like I have.

You, my sweet, precious

daughter, you don’t like

the bad boys.

Thomas: Hope.

[ Hope sighing ] You okay?

Hope: Um, yeah, yeah. I’m fine. What’s up?

Thomas: Okay, well, um, I– I’ve got some news. The reviews are in.

Hope: For hope for the future?

Thomas: They’re good. They’re really good.

Hope: Seriously?

Thomas: Yeah. All right. “The forrester dream team has done it again. Thomas forrester and hope logan fit and compliment each other perfectly.” That’s just one of many. I mean, every last review is positive.

Hope: Thomas, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that.

Thomas: It’s all because of you.

Hope: Aw, you too. Thank you for all of your hard work, everything you’ve done for the line.

Thomas: Well, couldn’t have done it without you. I mean, you gave me another chance. You allowed me to– to come back and work here again. Now, I have this overwhelming sense of gratitude and enthusiasm and I owe that all to you.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, it’s all right there in the review. We do make a really great team, and in spite of what liam or anyone else says, we can do this. We got this. I know we do.

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: After all these years, after everything sheila’s done, it’s so good to know that she’s finally in prison for good this time. She’s not gonna terrorize any of us ever again.

Hope: No, it’s fantastic. I mean, when bill told liam, wyatt and me last night, we couldn’t believe it. I mean, the sacrifices that he and ridge made, for all of us. I mean, to pull a big sting like that off?

Brooke: We all knew bill was acting very strange, but we didn’t know the reason behind it.

Hope: No. The stakes were huge. By the way, how is, uh, taylor taking all of this? I mean, I ask because it’s great how close you two are now.

Brooke: She’s good. Yeah, it is great. It’s amazing, really.

Hope: Do you think that could change now that ridge is back?

Thomas: I heard you were in the building. It’s good to see you back.

Ridge: Good to be back.

Thomas: You know, before we get into anything, I just want to say that what you did, partnering with bill and taking down sheila, protecting our family, reminds me of just how great it is to be your son.

Ridge: And you’re back.

Liam: Sleeping in?

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Dad? Our dad? Dollar bill dad?

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Apparently, even superheroes need extra shut eye from time to time.

[Chuckling]

Liam: Hey, on the bright side, he doesn’t have to share his bed with sheila anymore.

Wyatt: Yeah, can you imagine the pillow talk they must have had? Not to mention the things he may have had to do.

Liam: No, no, no, no, no. Not to mention. We’re not mentioning. That’s the whole– what are you doing right now?

Wyatt: Wow, why’d I even say that?

Liam: I know. The whole beauty of this is we don’t have to talk about her, think about her.

Wyatt: It’s true.

Liam: Worry about her ever again.

Wyatt: Now, you can just focus all of your attention on thomas.

Wyatt: Look, I know you’re not thrilled about thomas working with hope again, and I don’t blame you. Especially considering his history with her.

Liam: Yeah, but I also know how much hope for the future means to her, and that in order for it to survive and thrive–

Wyatt: Hope needs thomas. Sorry. Correction. The– the line apparently needs thomas.

Liam: I don’t know, man. Maybe– maybe it’s– maybe it’s all me. Maybe it’s just like in my head and– and thomas really has changed and–

Wyatt: You don’t believe that anymore than I do.

Liam: No, I absolutely don’T. But everybody else sure seems convinced, don’t they? I mean, especially hope. She’s like– she’s talking about how much the therapy must be working and how she can see the changes in him in real time. It’s like, really?

Wyatt: But you think she’s only seeing what she wants to see and not what’s actually going on.

Liam: Yes. You know what I am curious about though?

Wyatt: Mm?

Liam: Is ridge. Right? ‘Cause– ’cause, when he left town, he and thomas were… they were not on good terms, and now that he’s back, like I kind of wonder, well, I don’t know? Would he potentially reverse steffy’s decision to bring thomas back to forrester?

Thomas: It was steffy’s decision, allowing me to return and I know that you were busy taking down sheila, but I’m sure that you know what was going on with hope’s line.

Ridge: Your design skills are not what got you thrown out.

Thomas: But the part of me that did get me thrown out? He’s gone for good.

Hope: Will it impact your friendship? Ridge being back?

Brooke: Actually, she and i spoke to ridge last night.

Hope: And?

Brooke: Well, we know he’s gonna be spending time with both of our families, we made it very clear to him that we’re gonna choose ourselves first and put our newfound friendship first too.

Hope: I love that. I love that and I totally respect that decision, 100%.

Brooke: Aw, thanks, honey. That makes me feel good.

Hope: Yeah, it’s great, mom. I’m happy you’re choosing yourself.

Brooke: I mean, let’s be real. Most of my life, I felt like I’ve needed a man, and usually it’s been the wrong man. And I am not saying that your father is the wrong man. It’s just that my relationship with deacon did cause a lot of problems in my life. I’m just happy you haven’t been drawn to the bad boy like I have. I’m so proud of you, sweetheart.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Liam: I have tried to take the high road with thomas, so many times. I tried to be a supportive husband. I mean, I don’t– I don’t like putting hope in the middle. I really don’T.

Wyatt: You’re just worried about him spending all day, every day at the office.

Liam: Yeah. Which means them spending hours and hours and hours together. Sometimes, well into the evenings, you know?

Wyatt: Right. But does hope really know how you feel about that?

Liam: I mean, at this point, how could she not? It’s just, she’s so hyper focused right now on making hope for the future viable again, that she, you know, that means her putting in those hours.

Wyatt: Right. And thomas is more than happy to put in those hours with her as well. Yeah. Dude, I– I feel for you. This sucks.

Liam: Can I ask you something? Like objectively?

Wyatt: Sure.

Liam: Do you think that I’m being too controlling? Or– or– or overbearing? Or unreasonable here?

Wyatt: No, quite the opposite, actually. I– I think you’re being a loving, concerned husband, and you’re just protecting your wife from somebody you don’t trust.

Liam: To be clear, I totally trust hope.

Wyatt: Oh, yeah.

Liam: It’s not her. It’s thomas that I think is incapable of real change.

Thomas: I get why you’d be skeptical. I have made so many mistakes in the past and– and I’ve hurt people, and then I hurt people and I apologize, and I say it’s gonna get better and then I get a little bit better, but then I screw up again and then I hurt you again or hurt someone else, and then I apologize again. And all along, what’s kind of amazing, is that you have been there for me. You’ve given me forgiveness over and over again. Most recently, I, like an idiot, called cps on myself. That was my most recent mistake. And I could say that I know exactly why I did it. Actually, I kinda do. It’s– I wasn’t thinking. I got mad because brooke said something that– that threatened my relationship with my son. And so, I just acted out, immediately, without thinking anything through. And obviously, I want you and mom to be together too. Steffy and i have always wanted that. I don’t– I don’t want to sit here and just focus on the past, and keep bringing up all those things. I want to move forward into the future. I want to build a better future. One where you can be actually proud of your son. And I want to make sure that I never, ever let you down again. And more than that, I don’t ever want to let down my son, or my mom, or my sister.

Ridge: Or hope.

Brooke: I know you’ve worked hard to take the best qualities of me and leave the not so good qualities behind. Honey, I look at you and the life that you lead, and I am so amazed. Your principles, your morals. I just admire you so, so much. Really. I do. And also your relationship with liam and how committed you are and how loyal. I mean, sometimes I wonder how you’re even my daughter. Stephanie called me “slut from the valley” for a reason. I worked my way through the forrester men, and then there was deacon and bill, and the list goes on and on.

Hope: Okay, mom, stop, please. Why are we even talking about this? I hate it when you beat yourself up like this.

Brooke: No, no, I’m not. Just there’s no denying that I’ve always desired the wrong man. Honey, I’m just glad you’re not like me that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Thomas: I realize the success of hope for the future depends on hope trusting me and respecting me again. And I think we’re actually getting there. I mean, she is the face of the line and she’s brought me back. I am the designer again.

Ridge: And that means you’re gonna spend more time together.

Thomas: Yes. For the purpose of the success of the line. I don’t have those feelings that I used to for her, dad. I promise, I don’T. I have changed. I’ve become a better person, and I know it because I can feel it.

Ridge: I’m glad to hear that. You lied to me. You disappointed me. You broke my heart, but do you think I want to be estranged from my son? I don’T.

Thomas: I want to make a promise to you and I really believe I can come through on it. I want to prove to everyone I’m a better man. More than that, I want to prove to you that I can be a son that you’re proud of. Because dad, I love you so much.

Wyatt: Look, obviously you’re gonna be keeping an eye on thomas.

Liam: I guess. It’d be a lot easier if I didn’t work halfway across town at spencer.

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Actually, that doesn’t have to stop me.

Wyatt: What, wait, whoa. Where you going?

Liam: I just want to see for myself, if thomas’ obsessive behavior around my wife really is a thing of the past. You’re buying.

Wyatt: Well, what, whoa. How? What? Not my day.

Brooke: Thomas’s latest?

Hope: Yeah. What do you think?

Brooke: Oh, well, it’s beautiful.

Hope: I agree.

Brooke: So, honey, how are things at home?

Hope: Oh, now that douglas is back, you mean?

Brooke: Well, I was thinking more about liam. Is he adjusted to the fact that thomas is working on the line again?

Hope: He’s trying.

Brooke: Okay. So, he’s not so happy about it.

Hope: I mean, I’m hoping it will finally change this time, given that there’s nothing to worry about.

Brooke: Well, I do understand where liam’s coming from. You know, I also have my reservations about thomas, given his history with you. But, if he acts professionally, then–

Hope: He is, mom.

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: I swear.

Brooke: ‘Cause, you know, you can’t cross the line. I’m not talking about you. But thomas, he is a bad boy, and you, my sweet, precious daughter, you don’t like the bad boys, unlike your mother. But of course, if thomas does act inappropriately, liam is right. He has to go.

Hope: Mom, I know, I know this. I just, I guess, I am the eternal optimist because we have been working very, very well together and, in fact, this is the most excited I have been about my line in a very long time. So, I don’t know, from my view, things just seem to be getting better and better.

Thomas: Ready to do this? Brooke! Hey, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Hope: Yeah, we actually, we have a fitting, mom.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Well, then I’ll just get out of your hair.

Thomas: You don’t have to. You can stay and give us some notes, if you want.

Brooke: Ah, I was gonna check in on ridge anyway.

Thomas: Okay. He’s in his office. I was just with him.

Brooke: Okay.

Thomas: You like?

Hope: I love.

[ Both giggling ] I can’t wait to try it on. Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo. feel to be back in your element?

Ridge: As opposed to being in that hole with the fbi? It feels good. I gotta say, it was worth it. Sheila’s gone forever.

Brooke: And you are truly the hero, ridge forrester.

Ridge: All right. Take it easy. I don’t know about that. Maybe I held the hero’s cape for a moment. Spencer sacrificed a lot, he really did. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that. Let’s talk about something else. I had a conversation with thomas and it seems his collaboration with hope is going well.

Brooke: So far, so good. You must be happy about that.

Ridge: I am happy about that. It’s my son. I want him to succeed. Hope and thomas, their, um, a dynamic team.

Thomas: How’s the fit?

Hope: See for yourself?

Thomas: Huh. Um, well, how does it feel?

Hope: Uh, elegant, gorgeous, sexy.

Thomas: All things I was going for. Though, now that I’m looking at it…

Hope: What?

Thomas: I don’t know. Can you– can you step on the riser for me? Uh, is it okay if I…

Hope: Oh, yeah, sure. If you need to make adjustments.

Thomas: Okay. It’s better, right?

Hope: Yeah, I agree.

Thomas: Perfect.

Hope: If you say so.

Thomas: Oh, that didn’t sound conceited?

Hope: No, no, because it actually is perfect. I mean, everything’s been pretty much perfect. We’ve been so in sync on this latest collection, and I’m just really happy to have you and your vision back on hope for the future.

Thomas: I’m glad you feel that way.

Hope: I just wish everyone else felt that way. Namely, my mother, liam.

Thomas: Ah.

Hope: Yeah. I wish they could understand our working relationship. I have my career to think about. My line, the people that work for me and I guess what I’m trying to say is, those feelings that you might have had for me in the past, I just don’t want those to cause any problems with us working in such close proximity, doing fittings.

Thomas: Hope, that’s the thing is we’re working together. That’s– that’s all.

Hope: I know. I told liam that, but this is what he’s concerned about.

Thomas: Nothing is gonna happen, okay?

Hope: You sure? We’re doing this right now, there’s no thoughts entering your head.

Thomas: Honestly, no, there’s none.

Hope: Okay, well good because my mother had a thing for bad boys and I am telling you, thomas, that I do not. Oh!

Liam: Hey! What the hell is going on here?

Steffy: Wait, so this whole time, you and Bill were working with the FBI?

Ridge: Yeah, and really, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but we couldn’t risk Sheila finding out.

Steffy: Oh, wow. I mean… it makes sense why you were gone for so long.

Finn: So, so bill, he…he was never in love with sheila.

Ridge: No! It was all part of the plan, and it worked.

Hope: This is unbelievable.

Liam: So, how long had this been going on?

Bill: Well, when I reunited steffy and finn in monaco, and sheila got away, I knew she would keep turning up. Something had to be done. And then she escaped custody.

Wyatt: We all thought she died after that.

Bill: I never bought that absurd bear-mauling story. So I came up with a plan. One that would eliminate sheila from our lives once and for all.

Brooke: Wow. Ridge and bill working together to bring sheila down.

Taylor: It’s crazy, right? It still hasn’t really hit me. You know, when you were, uh… when you were talking to eric and donna, and saying goodbye, I called steffy. Ridge is over there explaining everything. Sheila really did have a heart attack.

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We all thought she was faking.

Taylor: Well, of course we did, because sheila. But no, she, she had a heart attack, and she survived.

Brooke: God. There’s so much to talk about with all of this. But now that we have a moment alone, there are things that we need to discuss. Ridge is back.

Taylor: So, did you have any idea that ridge was back in L.A.?

Brooke: None. It was odd that he sort of fell out of touch.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, it was. But you know, he, he told us he was gonna go off and do some soul searching, and, for ridge, that could take a while.

Brooke: And we could always reach him if we needed to. Bill and ridge, getting along. An unexpected pairing.

Taylor: Yeah, it is. I’d say more unexpected than us.

Brooke: Speaking of, we really need to talk about ridge being back, and what that means for us, moving forward.

Hope: I’m not sure which is harder to believe, you faking a relationship with sheila all this time, or are you working together with ridge?

Bill: [ Chuckles ] Well, we had a common goal. Protecting our families.

Liam: I can’t even put into words what a relief this is. Like, I hate you for putting us all through this, but at the same time, I’m so happy you didn’t lose your damn mind and fall in love with sheila.

Wyatt: Yeah, and I don’t understand. If she was already in custody, why did you get her out?

Liam: Yeah. Why not just let her rot in prison?

Bill: Because she had to be arrested on a charge she couldn’t beat, or get out early for good behavior. That had to be murder one.

Wyatt: Murder one?

Ridge: So there were two guys who died in a very mysterious way, but they had one thing in common. You know what that is?

Steffy: Sheila.

Ridge: Sheila. Their murders were never solved, but baker was convinced that sheila had something to do with it. So, the only thing we had to do, is get her to confess.

Finn: That’s no easy task.

Ridge: No. But bill did everything in his power to make sure that she would trust him, and she did. And admitted to one of the murders.

Steffy: One of them?

Ridge: Allegedly the other one was an accident.

Finn: You believe her?

Ridge: It doesn’t matter if I believe her or not. The point is we just needed one to put her away.

Steffy: Okay, wait, wait. Everything that, that happened with mom, the blackmail, like, I’m sure the police and the fbi heard about this.

Ridge: Alright, so bill made a deal with him to get her exonerated.

Steffy: Oh my god. That’s amazing. So you, so you’re telling me that we don’t have to look over our shoulder for sheila ever again.

Ridge: No, you’re safe.

Steffy: Because of you.

Ridge: Nahhhh. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Liam: I just can’t believe you actually got sheila to, to admit to first degree murder.

Bill: I wasn’t sure it would happen, but it did, and crystal clear for the audio.

Hope: That is amazing.

Bill: Yeah.

Bill: She had to be stopped. Permanently. I couldn’t let her terrorize our families ever again.

Wyatt: So let me make sure I got this straight here. For months, you and sheila were living together.

Bill: I think you know this part of the story, wyatt. Do you need a pop-up book version?

Wyatt: You had to make sure that she… she thought that she was the only one who understood you, right? That you loved her, that you wanted to marry her. But it didn’t matter what anybody else thought, including your family.

Bill: Check on all the above. If she didn’t buy it, think it was legitimate, she would have run or worse, stabbed me in the back when I was sleeping.

Wyatt: Right. So what are we talking, like, romantic nights? You know, long, like, cuddle sessions here by the fire? Bonding. Like, you know, sharing secrets.

Bill: Wow. You know, it’s almost like you were there with us, wyatt.

Liam: Maybe we could, um, like I’m actually getting physically ill.

Wyatt: So, so like, I mean, when the lights turned out and you guys go to go upstairs.

Liam: What are you doing right now?

Wyatt: Trying to see how far he had to go. And I wanna see you throw up. What?

Bill: I had to go as far as you could imagine, wyatt, and further than that.

Liam: Oh, god.

Bill: She had to completely buy my… my devotion.

Wyatt: You, like, you just put it all… you, you, you took one for the team.

Bill: I did it for everyone, wyatt. Gave it my all.

Wyatt: Oh jeez, why did I… I’m so sorry. I, I retract that question.

Bill: You asked.

Wyatt: I need a drink. I apologize. I walked into that.

Finn: That explains the police officer outside sheila’s hospital door.

Steffy: Yeah. Yet, we assumed it was just security through bill. But I did find it odd that bill wasn’t there. The supposed love of his life has a heart attack, and he’s not by her side? He’s not barking orders at doctors? The two of them, they have been inseparable.

Finn: Well, now this all makes sense.

Ridge: Does it? You do get that bill and sheila were never together, right? How could they be? I’m sorry.

Finn: Oh, no, don’t be. Look, I’m well aware who sheila is and what she’s capable of. I got the scar to prove it. I’m just grateful for you and bill for making sure that she’s locked away and never see daylight again.

Ridge: We can move on with our lives.

Taylor: This whole time that ridge was away, you know, he’s been keeping an eye on sheila, making sure that we’re safe. But bill, he’s the one that’s had to do all the dirty work, you know. Pretending that he was in love with sheila.

Brooke: Oooof. He had to live with her. He had to sleep with her. All to protect his family. It was strange. It wasn’t the bill I knew. When he was with her, he couldn’t even speak. Sheila had to speak for him. It was like he was under a spell. It turned out it was the other way around. He was calling the shots.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, he was. But, you know, I was thinking about that. I wonder… I wonder how it affected him mentally, you know? Just, oh, god, I’d love to get him on my couch. Let me–

Brooke: Ohhhhh.

Taylor: Shrink couch.

Brooke: Okay.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Well, I don’t think he would get on your shrink couch and talk about his “feelings.”

Taylor: No, I’m sure that he wouldn’T. You know. But, you know what? We should do something for them. For bill and ridge, you know? They’re kinda like superheroes. We can throw them a batman and robin theme party.

Brooke: Oh! [ Laughing ] That would be fun, actually. It’d be good. I think that would help, kind of, get them back into life, you know.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: You know… ridge went away to… try to figure out life and what he wants. So I think he’ll have some things to say to us.

Taylor: I know. I– whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. I wanna keep it separate from what you and I have built. Brooke, it’s really important to me, our friendship. It really is. I don’t want to lose it. Good food tastes better with a dollop of daisy

Ridge: Let me, let me just ask you this, your professional opinion. You think this heart attack was real?

Finn: Yeah, she almost died.

Steffy: Would have, if finn hadn’t saved her.

Ridge: You saved her? Really?

Steffy: We didn’t want him to.

Ridge: And lee was there too?

Finn: Yeah, she was the first physician on the scene. Ordinarily, she would have been responsible for sheila’s care, but she, flat out, refused to treat her. She asked me to do the same, just let her die.

Ridge: You thought about it, didn’t you?

Finn: I hesitated. Alright, do I honor the oath I gave as a doctor, or do I let the monster die, who attacked the people that I love? Ultimately, I couldn’t do it because in that moment, sheila was a patient who needed me to save her life, so I had to, no matter how horrible she is.

Ridge: That’s the kind of man you are.

Steffy: That’s the man I love. And I love you dad. Thank you so much for sacrificing everything to keep us safe.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Bill: Hey, chief baker, what’s going on? Really? Okay. Keep me posted.

Liam: What, what now?

Bill: Well, sheila had an actual heart attack. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

Wyatt: Whoa.

Liam: Something tells me not a lot of tears are gonna be shed for her tonight.

Bill: Who knew she had a heart?

Hope: Well, you certainly do, and you’ve proven that with everything that you gave up to protect us all. I mean, your family’s trust, your standing in the community, and you had to spend all that time with sheila. I mean, I really don’t know if there’s a way for us to thank you for keeping us all safe, especially the children.

Taylor: Okay, so, so there was “tridge,” and there was “bridge.” And now there’s “braylor.” And I am telling you, my friend, that is the end game.

[ Laughing ]

Brooke: Girl power, for sure.

Taylor: Woman power!

Brooke: Yes!

Taylor: We’re gonna stick to our pact, right?

Brooke: Yes. And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think now that ridge is back in town, we’re gonna have to be a little bit more careful and protective of our relationship, because I can’t imagine going forward in my life without you in it.

Taylor: I feel the same way. We’ve developed this, this, this real trust with each other and it’s, it’s beautiful.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s rare.

Taylor: Yeah, especially for two women who have spent their entire adult life fighting over a stupid man.

Brooke: Ughhh.

Taylor: Never again.

Brooke: No, never again. Promise.

Taylor: You know, it’s funny. We both have families with ridge, but you know what else we have with him? Unresolved issues. But that’s with him. Me and you, we’re good.

Brooke: 100%.

Taylor: Friends forever.

Brooke: Friends forever.

[ Laughter ]

Taylor: I love this!

[ Giggling ]

Ridge: So, what’s going on here?

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: Uh.

[ Giggling ]

[]

Hope: I’m actually afraid to believe we can let our guard down.

Bill: Believe it. Sheila’s reign of terror is over.

Wyatt: You must be exhausted.

Bill: You could say that.

Liam: I just, I can’t imagine what it took for you to convince sheila, like, really convince her, that you loved her. I mean, I’m just, I’m so proud of you. I’m humbled by the sacrifice that you made to, to keep all of us safe. I just… suffice it to say, I’ve never loved you more than I do right now. I’m not kidding.

Bill: This is what I miss the most. Seeing the look of love and admiration in the eyes of my boys. My family. Instead of pain and disappointment. I can finally say, after way too long, it’s good to be home.

Liam: Oh, dad! All misty.

Bill: Come here.

Liam: Come on.

Hope: Alright. Aww, guys.

[ Chuckling ]

Steffy: I knew something was off with bill. I knew it! But I never thought he was plotting to send sheila to prison. Gosh!

[ Whispers ] Wow… I feel like I can breathe again.

Finn: Yeah. I’m grateful for that. It’s the threat of sheila, it… it’s finally gone.

Steffy: Yeah. Hey, what’s wrong with you?

Finn: Nothing. It’s just… sheila could have totally been out of our lives if I would’ve listened to my mother.

Steffy: It’s not who you are, finn. You’re a healer. You value human life. You save it. You don’t end it. So don’t second guess your decision, okay? You did the right thing. Like I said, it’s who you are. You’re compassionate and you’re loving. And I’m so, so lucky to be married to a guy like you.

[ Laughter ]

Ridge: So, what did I walk in on?

Taylor: Okay. Well, we will get to that in just a minute. But first, I talked to steffy. Sheila really had a heart attack.

Ridge: I know. I talked to her too. So, yeah, she flatlined and finn brought her back, despite everything.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s because he’s a good man and we’re lucky to have him as a son-in-law.

Ridge: I agree. What?

[ Giggling ]

Brooke: Nothing. No, no. Taylor and I had just been talking about everything that has happened and we’re really impressed that you and bill were able to pull this off.

Taylor: Yeah. And teaming up to do it.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s incredible.

Taylor: It’s crazy.

Brooke: Pretty cool. How you feeling?

Ridge: Oh. Uh, I’m good. I’m–

Taylor: Yeah?

Ridge: Tired.

Taylor: Uh-huh.

Ridge: I was in that bunker 24/7 with jim. Takes it out of you.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: So, I’m ready to, uh, do whatever passes as normal these days. Bunk up with dad for a while.

Brooke: Oh, that’s good.

Taylor: That’s good. Good idea.

Ridge: What is happening here. What’s going on?

Brooke: Just, something happened while you were gone.

Ridge: No way!

Taylor: Oh, ridge! Seriously?! Did you see that?!

Ridge: No, I didn’t?

Taylor: No, no. Brooke and I are, are friends now.

Ridge: Uh huh.

Brooke: Yeah. We’ve grown very close, and nothing is going to change that.

Taylor: No, nothing. I mean, look, we both have families with you.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: But at this stage in our life, we are choosing our friendship over our feelings for you. Mm-hmm.

Ridge: What are you telling me?

Taylor: Brooke has become my best friend.

Brooke: And taylor has become my best friend. Friends first, right?

Taylor: Right.

[ Flatlining ]

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan, she’s coding.

Li: Let her die.

Brooke: Ridge, what are you talking about?

Stephen: You have been in la this whole time?

Taylor: Wait a second. You and bill have been working together?

Carter: You hate each other.

Ridge: Yes. And we still hate each other, but we had a common goal. To get rid of sheila. And we did it because of bill.

Carter: Bill and sheila are in a relationship. She’s living with–

Stephen: You– you allowed her to endanger all our families.

Lucy: Sheila should be in jail.

Taylor: Yes, she should, but she’s not because he defended her. Stood up for her.

Brooke: You alienated everybody that cares about you, bill.

Donna: You bribed a judge to keep sheila out of jail, bill.

Eric: Ridge, you expect us to believe that he did all this to protect us?

Katie: You professed your love for her over and over again.

Bill: I’m sorry you had to hear that, katie.

Ridge: But it was an act. None of this was what it seemed. We– we were working with the fbi and with baker.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: Yes, there– there was a sting that bill came up with to put sheila away forever.

Bill: If there’d been another way, any other way… but there wasn’T.

Ridge: And listen, he had to convince sheila that this was real, so he had to convince all of you that it was real. And… I should say, I don’t– I don’t– I don’t wanna say, but I– I’m– I’m gonna have to. This– this man… is a hero.

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan, defibrillators down. Hey, doc, another set.

[ Machine beeping ]

Li: Sheila nearly killed you and shot your wife. Left me for dead. Threatened your children.

Nurse tina: I’m back.

[ Li mouthing ]

Nurse tina: Here. Back up.

Finn: Charging 130.

Nurse tina: Charging.

[ Defibrillator buzzing ]

Finn: Clear. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Bill: Look, uh, ridge should call me a hero, but I didn’t feel like one.

Ridge: He did what he had to do to get the job done.

Stephen: As part of some elaborate undercover operation.

Taylor: How– how long has this been going on?

Ridge: Too long. Trust me. You know, steve, you’re right. This– it– it was elaborate and it was dangerous. But can we all agree, all of us, that what we wanted was sheila out of our lives? We can, right? And the only way to do that is to have her admit to murder one.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

Brooke: Who do you think she killed?

Ridge: Her psychiatrist, doctor–

Bill: Gordon.

Ridge: And some young guy who, uh–

Bill: Uh, lance day.

Ridge: Lance day. He threatened her.

Taylor: Okay. This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense because sheila was already in custody. So, if this is some big setup, some big ploy, and bill was never in love with her, then there’d be no reason to let her out. Because steffy and finn’s testimony would’ve put her away for good. And you interfered with that.

Bill: You’re right. I did. Steffy and finn had an open and shut case, and sheila would’ve been put straight back in prison.

Taylor: Yeah.

Bill: Yeah. But not for life. She would’ve gotten, what, 10 years? Maybe more. Maybe less. You see, this wasn’t just about protecting everyone in this room. It was about will, kelly, beth, hayes, douglas. They all had to be protected. It was, uh… hell making you all doubt me and, uh, hate me. But it had to be done. Those kids are too important to me. And I had to protect their futures. Uh… we. We had to protect their futures. And that’s what we did.

Finn: She still in v-fib. Let’s go again. Grab me another preload of epi.

Nurse tina: On it.

Li: What are you doing? This woman tried to orphan your children.

Finn: She’s a patient.

Li: She’s evil. You don’t want this. You know it’s not right. Think of your life without her. Steffy’s life.

Nurse tina: Got the epi.

Finn: Administrating another point ml of epi. Charge it to 200.

Nurse tina: Charging.

Finn: All right, let’s go again. Clear.

[ Machine beeping ]

Nurse tina: A-fib. She’s back.

Li: Finn, why? Why?

[ Machine beeping steadily ]

[ Flatlining ] Type 2 diabetes?

[ Machine flatlining ]

Finn: Clear.

[ Machine beeping steadily ] Regular sinus rhythm. Pulse ox is rising. Notify the cardiac team.

Nurse tina: Yes, doctor.

[ Sheila groaning ]

Sheila: My son… you saved me.

[ Sighing ] Love me…

Taylor: Bill, I… I don’t know what to say.

Bill: I’m sorry, taylor. I’m sorry I had to put you through so much.

Brooke: And you knew that he was doing this?

Ridge: Yeah. And it killed me being in that basement with the fbi, knowing at the worst time I was never gonna get back with my kids. You guys. But that’s nothing compared to the sacrifice that this man made. And don’t get me wrong, I got so many problems with bill. Not just because of who he is and what he’s done, but just… look at the way he dresses.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: Looks– looks like a pirate who got lost in the mall somewhere.

Bill: Lost in the mall?

Ridge: But you know what? This man right here, he defends his family, people he loves, more fiercely than anyone I know.

Carter: Okay, so all of this was to get sheila to confess she murdered those two guys?

Bill: Thought it was gonna take a few weeks. Ended up being months, the longest months of my life.

Ridge: But he didn’t give up.

Donna: Did it work?

Lucy: Did sheila confess?

Ridge: Yes. Taylor: Wait, what? She confessed to killing?

Ridge: Yeah. It’s all on tape.

Taylor: Oh, my god!

Brooke: Oh, my god. Really?

Stephen: So where is she now?

Ridge: Well, she escaped from bill’s place, but then they caught up with her at il giardino.

Donna: Why would she go there?

Ridge: I don’t know. Maybe she was trying to throw people off, but the police have her now, she’s in custody.

Brooke: Can’t believe it.

[ Indistinct chatter, laughter ]

Stephen: I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully express my gratitude, or tell you how sorry I am for doubting you.

Ridge: I had plenty of doubt myself.

[ Indistinct chatter, laughter ]

Donna: Thank you, bill.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey. So, you have been working with bill this whole time. And I thought you were out soul searching.

Ridge: That would’ve been easier.

Taylor: I don’t know about that.

[ Both laugh ]

Ridge: Yeah. Maybe not.

[ Taylor chuckles ]

Taylor: Well, thank you. I mean… thank you for everything.

Ridge: You okay?

Taylor: I– I’m–

Ridge: It’s over. All of it is over.

Taylor: What do you mean?

Ridge: My new best friend, bill, has cut a deal to exonerate you for the shooting.

[ Taylor sighs in relief ]

Donna: I– I can’t even believe.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: The fbi.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Really?

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Ridge chuckles ]

Brooke: So, you were never really in love with sheila?

[ Bill chuckles ]

Bill: No.

Brooke: No. You sneaky, deceitful, wonderful man. Bill spencer, thank you. Thank you so much.

[ Brooke sighing ] (Vo) for over 50 years

[ Indistinct pa announcement ]

Li: Finn, why? Why, finn? Sheila carter’s pure evil. You couldn’t let her die?

Finn: No. Look, I will– I’ll never forgive sheila for what she did to you and what she tried to take from our children. I love you, steffy. And I know that we had a chance to never have to worry about her again, but I couldn’t do it. Okay? I couldn’t let her die. I had to save her.

Steffy: I– I know. I know. I know. I love you. I love you.

[ Steffy sighs ]

[ Machine beeps steadily ]

Officer: She’s secure. The cuffs are on. She’s not going anywhere. Situation’s secure.

Li: Good. You gonna be here all night?

Officer: I’ll be right outside.

Li: Open your eyes. My son may have saved you, but you’re going to rot in prison, sheila. Then you’re going to rot in hell.

[ Cuffs clink ] Who’s laughing now, sheila?

Eric: I would just like to say, uh, how amazing I think it is that we never have to worry about sheila carter again in our lives. I mean, we owe them both a debt of gratitude. Thank you, bill and ridge. Thank you. Let’s hear it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Ridge: Ah. Why do I feel like I’m gonna be in trouble? I– I didn’t– I mean, thing is, saved the day, her dad. So, uh, turn you on?

Brooke: Mmm… a little, agent forrester. What do you think, taylor?

Taylor: I don’t know. I mean, I’m– I’m definitely feeling something.

[ Brooke gasps ]

Brooke: What are you feeling?

Taylor: Oh, god, I think I’m feeling relief. Just relief. That’s it.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: Really.

Taylor: Yeah. That’s it.

Ridge: Friendship stuck, I see. Is there anything else that happened while I was gone, or…

Taylor: Uh…

Ridge: Did you guys miss me at all?

Taylor: Mmm…

Eric: Listen, let’s, uh, open a bottle of champagne out on the terrace. Come on. Let’s go.

[ Crosstalk ]

Eric: Come on.

Katie: Uh, I’ll be out in a minute.

[ Indistinct chatter] You lied to me every minute. You made me believe that you were in love with… sheila carter, a monster. You were gonna subject our son to her, that she might become his stepmother. I… I thought you were lost. Do you have any idea what that did to me?

Bill: I’m sorry, katie. I love you. I love our son. I love all my boys. I didn’t wanna hurt you, but… I couldn’t tell anyone or the plan wasn’t gonna work. I– I needed sheila to trust me. That was the only way to keep everyone safe. That was the worst part. Letting everyone think I was– I was letting them down. No one more than you. But it was all an act. An act. And it’s over now.

[ Clinking ]

[ Bill sighing ]

[ Slapping ]

Katie: You are so maddening and frustrating. And there’s no one like you. Extraordinary lengths you go to, it… this one was really crazy. This is why I left you, bill. But it’s also why I love you.

Bill: This is even more satisfying than I imagined it would be. This animal will never hurt anyone again.

Sheila: You’re liars. You manipulated–

Ridge: Will you please shut up! Bill came up with a plan to put you away forever.

Bill: No one will remember you, speak your name, and certainly no one will love you.

Sheila: My son will love me.

Bill: Enough! Cuff her, and gag her while you’re at it. Get her the hell outta here.

Dep. Chief baker: Back up. Call for back up. Surround the perimeter.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Sheila breathing shakily ]

Sheila: I thought you loved me.

Bill: You thought wrong. And the ring, by the way, it’s fake. As fake as the feelings I pretended to have for you.

[ Sheila hyperventilating ]

[ Door opens ]

Ridge: What did you do? What happened?

Deacon: Sheila, why is she on the ground?

Bill: Faking a heart attack.

Ridge: Get up!

Deacon: Sheila, hey. Hey.

Bill: You think this little performance is gonna keep you from going to jail?

Dep. Chief baker: All right, fellas, we got this.

[ Police radio chatters ]

Bill: All right, let’s go celebrate. Excuse me. her. See if she’s has any weapons.

Steffy: I think I’m having a- a little pain right here.

Finn: Yeah? How’s that? You know what? I think the– I think the other side–

Steffy: Oh, really? Okay.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. You have good instincts.

[ Laughs ]

Finn: Is that better?

Steffy: Much better. Gosh, dr. Finnegan, your lips have some magical properties.

Finn: Yeah. Well, I took an oath to act in my patient’s best interests and my wife’S.

Steffy: [ Chuckles ] Well, taking care of people runs in your family.

Finn: Well, thankfully I didn’t inherit any of my birth mother’s characteristics.

Steffy: You are the exact opposite of sheila.

Finn: Maybe there’ll come a time when we don’t have to worry about her anymore.

Steffy: That would be so nice.

Stephen: Hello, honey.

Donna: Daddy! Oh, what a treat. It’s so good to see you.

Eric: It’s been quite some time, stephen.

Stephen: Eric, it’s good to see you.

Eric: And you must be lucy.

Lucy: Oh, it’s so lovely to finally meet you.

Eric: Thank you. I’ve heard only wonderful things. Come in.

Donna: Oh, lu– lucy is the best. A wonderful addition to the family. Now we jus did ridge tell any of you why he wanted us to meet here?

Eric: No. No. He just sent me a text. He asked me to get everybody together and that’s what we’ve done.

Taylor: Hi. Yeah. I-I got the same text. Does anybody know what’s going on?

Brooke: I guess that means ridge is back in town.

Stephen: Well, it took him long enough, didn’t it? I mean, there’s no excuse for abandoning your family at a critical time like this. Not with sheila carter on the loose.

Bill: Sheila was totally fine on the alley until she realized I had her cornered. Then it was the heart attack show, clutching the chest. Falling to the ground, the whole bit.

Deacon: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, phony heart attack or not, she’s going down for murder one.

Bill: We finally got her.

[ Beer bottles clank ] We can move on with our lives.

Ridge: So I texted dad, told him to bring everyone over to the house. I want them to know what you did. What you went through to make sure this family doesn’t have to deal with sheila any longer. Why give your family just any eggs

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah.

Stephen: Typical ridge. He jumps ship when he doesn’t get his way.

Taylor: Well, relationships. Sure. Look, he’s been out there doing some much needed soul searching. That’s gonna take some time.

Donna: Yeah, but I don’t think he meant this long.

Eric: I’m sure ridge has his reasons.

Lucy: Maybe the extra time was necessary to unravel all the old patterns I’ve been hearing so much about.

Stephen: Yeah. Well, honey, that could take years. Decades maybe.

Brooke: Dad, it’s not like ridge has been completely mia. He has been calling in to the office from time to time.

Taylor: He has. Yes. He’s been checking in. I’ve heard from him a few times. So has brooke.

Stephen: He’s not here, taylor. He’s not protecting his family. He’s moping somewhere licking his wounds.

Katie: Eric. Oh.

Eric: Hey, carter. Come in.

Carter: Yeah, we got your text.

Katie: Yeah. Apparently, everyone did. Dad, hi.

Carter: Ridge wanted to see everybody?

Eric: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah. And we don’t know why. We are just as confused as you are.

Katie: Where is he?

Ridge: It’s time they found out I was in los angeles this whole time, working alongside the two of you.

Bill: Yeah. Sure. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Deacon: Yeah. You wanna check my underwear too, bill?

Bill: If I thought you ever washed them, maybe.

Ridge: We’re not sure when this started, but we know there’s something going on between you and sheila.

Bill: You got two choices. Keep making pizzas or go to jail. I would go with cooperating with the authorities and helping us bring sheila to justice.

Deacon: All right. What do I have to do?

Ridge: You came through for us. Still don’t get all the details between you and sheila. I mean, that’s–

Bill: Yeah. Don’t– don’t– don’t need the details. I have enough of my own horrible visuals, don’t need–

Ridge: All right. But obviously, somewhere along the way he fell for her. Can’t understand why, but you did.

Bill: You gotta have regrets. No? Well, whatever. You helped us bring her down so we will keep your little romance between the three of us.

Ridge: That’s fair. We’re not gonna tell brooke or hope.

Deacon: Thank you. I appreciate that. I- I don’t wanna lose my daughter. That’s why I did this.

Bill: You should have thought of that before. Stuck to massaging the pizza dough instead of that lunatic.

Paramedic 1: Where do you want her?

Nurse tina: Get her in e3. Thank you. I’ll get [Indistinct] Ready. Oh, dr. Finnegan, the patient is right in here.

Li: What have we got?

Paramedic 1: Hypertensive and unconscious female. Ecg confirmed heart attack. A hundred milligrams of gt administered.

Li: Vitals.

Paramedic 2: Ep 190/120. Pulse ox 85. Abnormal sinus rhythm.

Li: How long has she been– sheila? Sheila carter?

Katie: Well, this is suspenseful.

Carter: You gotta love ridge for keeping us waiting.

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: Any updates?

Eric: No. No.

Katie: I just don’t understand why he wants us to meet here. I mean, I could get why he would wanna talk to brooke and taylor. He certainly owes you both an explanation, but why… me, carter, donna, dad, lucy.

Stephen: Yeah. Well, he knows he’s in the dog house with me already.

Brooke: Dad’s not so happy with ridge these days.

Katie: Really? I, um… didn’t pick up on that.

Stephen: Well, can you blame me? He treats my daughter’s heart like it’s a chew toy.

Brooke: Okay. Dad, I appreciate your concern. I do. But let’s just let ridge explain.

[ Door opens ]

Stephen: Oh, well. Speak of the devil.

Brooke: Ridge.

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. Hi, everyone. Um… I missed you guys. Missed you both.

Taylor: Okay. Everybody missed you too. What– what is going on?

Brooke: Yeah. Why are you here?

Taylor: Come on, ridge. Why– why did you call us all here? Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Deacon: I imagine you’re pretty eager to get over to eric’S.

Bill: Yes, I am. Ridge wanted to… shut it up first. I just want to let everybody know what was going on. I put them through so much. The lies.

Deacon: No, credit where credit’s due. You absolutely deserve a victory lap. I mean, what you and ridge did, you– you put your whole lives on hold for this sting.

Bill: Without ridge’s dedication and his vigilance, sheila never would’ve been taken to custody.

Deacon: Well, no doubt. But I mean, spencer, your sacrifice, you pissed off everyone in your life to protect them from sheila.

Bill: Oh, with the outcome, it was worth it.

Deacon: Well, get ready. Katie, brooke, they’re all gonna hail you as a hero. Hell, the whole damn town will probably throw you a ticker tape parade.

Bill: I don’t give a damn about any of that. I’m– I’m just glad everyone is safe and I was able to rid our lives of sheila.

Deacon: She ain’t getting out of this one.

Bill: I despise that bitch. I wish she had a real heart attack.

Finn: Okay, well, kiss the kids goodnight. And make sure you–

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan? Your mother is with a patient who suffered a heart attack. Apparently, she knows her.

Finn: And she knows my mom? What’s the patient’s name?

Nurse tina: Sheila carter.

Taylor: So, what is going on, ridge? Why– why did you call us all here?

Brooke: We encouraged you to stay away, but not for this long.

Taylor: The kids needed you. We needed you.

Brooke: So gathering all of us here has to do with us?

Ridge: It has everything to do with you. Our kids, their kids, our families. I’m looking at you guys. I– I missed you both. I really did.

Brooke: Well, then why did you stay away so long?

Stephen: Yeah. Enough of this selfishness. I mean, really. You should have trusted brooke. You should have trusted your marriage. But instead, you gave up on her and you ran to taylor like you always do. But then you left her too like you always do. You left at your own wedding. What kind of a man does that?

Eric: All right, stephen, come on. That it enough. That’s enough.

Ridge: Dad, it’s all right. No, get it out.

Stephen: Meanwhile, and the whole time that you were out gallivanting around, sheila carter has been on the loose, thanks to bill spencer. But now you come back. Oh, hallelujah. You show up and you summon us here. Well, I hope you have a damn good reason.

Ridge: I do.

Stephen: No. No. There’s no good reason for leaving your family. For barely talking to them. You should have spent a lot of time here, doing everything in your power to watch over them.

Ridge: Well, you know what? I agree with you. And I thought that’s what I was doing.

Donna: How can you say that when you were thousands of miles away? The girls have been looking over their shoulders.

Katie: Hiring extra security.

Brooke: Waiting for sheila to make her next move.

Taylor: While you were off doing whatever it is you were doing.

Katie: Yeah. It might be nice, you know, to not have to run into sheila wherever you go.

Taylor: You know what? It just… it feels like you– like you just kinda checked out. Like you don’t care.

Ridge: Huh?

Brooke: We’ve had to put up with sheila ever since bill went to the dark side.

Taylor: Yeah. Sheila is a danger to all of us because of bill.

[ Door opens ]

Eric: Oh no, bill. No, no. You’re– you’re not welcome in this house. You don’t come here. Go home to sheila.

Ridge: Please, dad. Dad… I invited him here because there’s something I wanna say to everyone. Four delicious pieces of chocolate.

Eric: Bill, you have to go.

Brooke: Go, bill. Now.

Taylor: Why are you just standing there? Leave. We don’t want you here. The lengths that you’ve gone to to keep sheila out of prison is sickening.

Katie: We don’t understand why you would put all of us at risk for her, for that monster.

Eric: You understand better than anyone the– the potential for danger here.

Brooke: God forbid it could be one of the children.

Donna: Whoa, whoa. Don’t you tell me that sheila’s outside right now.

Eric: Oh, she’s not welcome in this house either. She’s given this family more trouble for the last years. You know that.

Taylor: Yeah, he does know that, right? Yeah. You know that, but you still choose to trust her.

Katie: We just wanna know what’s going on with you.

Carter: What explanation could there be for you to think it’s okay to be here?

Ridge: Well, if you just give us a moment.

Taylor: Us?

Stephen: There’s nothing anybody can say here to justify–

Ridge: What– what– what is– what is with you? What– I– do you need to eat? Are you hungry? I’m– I’m trying to explain something. It may sound unbelievable, but it– it’s true.

Brooke: Okay. What is it, ridge? What are you talking about?

Ridge: All of us, we– we can take a big sigh of relief because… of what bill has done.

Brooke: What?

Stephen: What bill has done?

Taylor: What bill has done? Bill is with sheila. He’s in love with her. He is the reason that we’re all in danger.

Bill: All right. All right. I understand you all hate me. I have alienated everyone because sheila has wreaked havoc on each and every one of your lives, one way or another. But she won’t any longer.

Brooke: Oh, god. We have heard this promise before. You promising to keep sheila out of our lives.

Ridge: Yes. And she is.

Katie: How can you say that?

Ridge: Because it’s true. Sheila is out of our lives because of bill.

Steffy: Sheila suffered a heart attack?

Nurse tina: Yes. She’s in critical condition.

Finn: What room?

Nurse tina: E3.

Finn: Okay. Hey, come on.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Monitor beeps ]

Sheila: What– what–

what is this?

What have you done?

Li: You need to leave, now.

Sheila: Finn’s alive.

My son is alive.

Li: Yes.

I’ve been caring for him

as a mother should.

Unlike you,

shooting him

and leaving him for dead.

His real mother stepped in

and saved him.

I saved him.

[ Door opens ]

Finn: Nurse tina has told us sheila had a heart attack. Wait, her vitals. Wait, she’s in bad shape.

[ Flatline beeps ] Wait, mother, she’s your patient. Why aren’t you doing anything?

Li: After everything sheila did to you and steffy, shot you both, left for dead.

Finn: What are you saying? Mother?

Li: Let her die. Let sheila carter die.

Nurse tina: I’m here. Ready to clear, dr. Finnegan? Dr. Finnegan.

Deacon: You want me to run away with you?

Sheila: Yes, I do, but we’re gonna have to leave soon. Okay, we’re gonna have to head north and we can’t take your car. We’re gonna need to get new identities.

Deacon: New identities? Slow down. I– I can’t just leave here.

Sheila: Yes, you can. You can. You don’t want to lose me from your life, do you? Not with the connection that we have.

Deacon: Listen to me. You know how I feel about you, but come on, I mean, you were here earlier gushing about your future with bill, showing off that rock. I mean, what am I supposed to think?

Sheila: No, but he– he betrayed me, okay? He was– he was using me. I thought we were going to get married and– and have a life together. You know, I… I always felt it was too good to be true and it was.

Bill: Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done! Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! That bastard was playing me this whole time.

Ridge: I can’t believe she’s getting away.

Bill: She won’T. We know she’s going to sharpe’S.

Ridge: We have it! We have her confession. We have everything we need to put sheila away. The only thing we don’t have is sheila! So bill, do me a favor. Go to deacon’s and find her!

Finn: Steffy.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Someone could–

Steffy: No one’s gonna see us. I made sure no one was here.

Finn: Well, I’m not complaining. It’s just that when you texted me that you had a surprise for me, I thought you meant when I got home.

Steffy: We’re still gonna have fun when we get home, but I thought I could just stop by and give you another kiss.

Finn: Well, I’m glad you drove over here and made it happen with me.

Steffy: Who else was I gonna make it happen with? Like another hot doctor?

Finn: Hm?

Steffy: Well.

Finn: Well, lucky me ’cause I’m always a big fan of your surprises.

Chen: Bill, wait for lapd. They’re the closest units.

Ridge: Don’t do anything until they make contact with them, okay?

Bill: This is it, boys. Sheila’s run straight to deacon’s, a place she won’t be able to hide.

Sheila: Bill told me everything when I confronted him. He said how it was a setup from the start, how ridge was a part of it, the fbi, they’ve been listening to everything.

Deacon: How the hell did the feds get involved? And you came here?

Sheila: Where else was I gonna go?

Deacon: Sheila, are they following you?

Sheila: Yes. That’s why we need to go. I’ve got a [Indistinct]. Please. Please, come with me. Help me escape. Deacon, please. My celebrity colorist?

Steffy: Well, I hope the rest of your night is filled with good surprises and not a single bad one.

Finn: Oh, like a visit from a certain biological parent, you mean.

Steffy: She does like to pop in unexpectedly.

Finn: I think I have successfully conveyed how unwelcome sheila is here or at home or anywhere near us.

Steffy: But sheila doesn’t listen to warning. She does her own thing. We can’t act like she’s not a threat.

Finn: Well, thanks to bill.

Steffy: Like, it blows my mind. I don’t even understand what he’s thinking.

Finn: That’s the problem. He’s not.

Steffy: You’re right. He isn’t thinking. The only thing he’s thinking about is sheila and her feelings. But this isn’t bill. Not bill at all. I’m really just hoping that bill just snaps out of it and somehow, some way, he comes to his senses and he just puts an end to sheila.

Chen: Okay, ridge.  Let’s do this.

Ridge: Bill, we’ll meet you there.

Bill: After all I’ve done, what I put into this, can’t wait to see it in person. Sheila taken into custody.

Sheila: Come with me and we– we can start fresh together and we’ll figure it out as we go along the way.

Deacon: You gotta give me a minute here to process this.

Sheila: We don’t have a minute.

Deacon: Sheila, what– what about my restaurant? What about my daughter? I can’t just leave. My future’s in L.A.

Sheila: And it can be again, eventually.

Deacon: You’re not hearing me.

Sheila: I want you to come with me. You’re the one person that I’ve been able to count on. You gave me a safe place to stay when I needed it. Nobody else would have done that. They would have slammed the door in my face and called the police, but you didn’t do that, deacon. You didn’t turn me in. Why?

Deacon: You know why, sheila.

Sheila: It’s because you love me. And I love you. I got caught up with bill, thinking that he was my ticket to freedom, that we were going to have a life together, but I swear, I swear, I never fell for him the way that I feel for you. You know– you know that that is true. The moments that we’ve shared, we risked everything to be together. Oh, baby, I’m never gonna find another man like you. Someone who understands me completely and I know that you feel the same way. You’ve already said it. You never met a woman like me.

Deacon: You got that right. And you’re not wrong about my feelings for you, sheila. You’re not, but I just– I just– I don’t wanna lose what we have. I don’t wanna lose you.

Sheila: Then don’T. Come with me.

Deacon: Listen to me. Maybe, just maybe, there’s another way. Just, let me think for a second. Okay. Just hear me out on this. What if… what if you just turned yourself in?

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Sheila, I got this gut feeling that if you keep running, eventually something really bad is gonna happen.

Sheila: You are… you are so, so sweet and so kind. I need you. I want to be with you, so please come with me. Please, but we’ve got to go. We’ve got to go now. We’ve got to go this instant.

Deacon: Sheila, please, baby, I’m begging you, just turn yourself in. Show them that you’re remorseful.

Sheila: Oh, yeah and what? I’m gonna get a slap on the wrist? This is murder one in addition to everything else. If I want a chance, if I want my freedom, I need to leave. I need to leave now and never come back. Please, don’t– don’t tell me I’m gonna do that on my own. Hey, we’ve got– we’ve got so much ahead of us. So much living to do, so why don’t we just do it together? Please. Say that you’ll join me for as long as you’re able. Maybe even a lifetime. Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you. We gotta go. We gotta go.

Finn: I hate to say it, but my break’s almost over.

Steffy: But you don’t hate it. Dr. Finnegan loves his work. That is something I admire and respect about you. So devoted to your patients.

Finn: I can’t help it. It’s what attracted me to medicine in the first place. It’s to help people, heal them, save lives.

Steffy: Yeah, totally. It’s similar to what I do in the fashion industry.

Finn: Well, putting on a forrester gown, that makes people feel good. Like royalty even. No, I just– I just think it’s a different version of helping someone. You know, and we both had great role models growing up, inspiring us into our future careers. You know, you had your dad to look up to and I had my mom.

Steffy: A great role model. Obviously not talking about sheila carter.

Deacon: I don’t know where you think you can go.

Sheila: We. You mean we, right?

Deacon: Listen, I’ve got a really bad feeling about this. Please turn yourself in.

Sheila: No. Never. I am– I am never going back to prison.

Bill: Oh, I think you are.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Was– was any of this even real?

Deacon: Yeah. But I– I–

Sheila: No, it’s okay. I… I understand.

Ridge: Nice work, deacon.

Bill: You bought us just enough time.

Baker: I’ve been waiting to say this for years. Sheila carter, you’re under arrest for murder.

Baker: Lance day’s death, one of my first cases to be unsolved. Finally, after all these years, I get a chance to put you away.

Ridge: I think what he’s saying is thank you for confessing, sheila.

Bill: Finally going down for lance day, maybe dr. Jay garvin, not to mention your countless attempted murders.

Baker: You’re gonna spend the rest of your life behind bars, sheila. We got it from here.

Sheila: It’s okay. I will never forget everything that you did for me.

Bill: This is even more satisfying than I imagined it would be. After all the risks, all the planning, all the sacrifices getting here, knowing this animal will never hurt anyone again.

Sheila: No. You are the animals. You’re liars. You manipulated–

Ridge: Would you please shut up! You shot your own son. Didn’t call anyone to help him. You just turned around and shot my daughter. You left them both in the alley to die. Did you really think I was gonna just let that go? Really? Bill came up with a plan to put you away forever. Keep our families safe.

Bill: Now, we can look in your demon eyes and know that you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison. Nowhere near our families, nowhere near our grandchildren, never free again. No one will remember you, speak your name, and certainly, no one will love you.

Sheila: My son will love me. Finn is my flesh!

Ridge: You don’t really think that just because you guys share dna, that that boy is gonna–

Sheila: This is because of steffy! None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for her.

Ridge: Mention my daughter one more time.

Sheila: Okay, I will. Because you know exactly how she treated me. None of this would’ve happened if she could’ve even shown an ounce of kindness.

Deacon: Damn it, sheila. Stop, just stop. Please. You’re just making it worse. I’m sorry it had to end this way.

Sheila: It is not going to end this way.

Bill: Enough! Cuff her! Gag her while you’re at it! Get her the hell out of here!

Baker: Oh! Backup! Requesting backup!

[ Officers shouting ]

Finn: Try not to think about sheila, okay? I am gonna keep you safe from her. You and the kids. Look, you can count on it.

[ Sheila panting ]

[ Sirens blaring ]

[ Gunshot ]

Sheila: No! No! No!

[ Sirens blaring ] Ow!

[ Sheila grunting ]

Your reputation as a scheming, lying son of a bitch doesn’t even come close to what you are.

[ Bill chuckling ]

I thought you loved me.

Bill: You thought wrong. It would take one sick, twisted loser to love someone like you. How have you lived your whole life and not figured that out yet? Well, maybe it’ll finally sink in when you’re all alone in a 6×8 cell staring at a wall. And the ring, by the way, is fake. As fake as the feelings I pretended to have for you.

[ Sheila grunting ]

Sheila: You weren’t the only one pretending.

[ Bill chuckling ]

[ Sheila chuckling ] It might be the end of us, but it is not the end of me.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Sheila groaning ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No!

Ridge: No.

Bill: Sheila!

Ridge: She’s just fell off the balcony.

Chen: Agent Venice, subject down. Repeat, subject down.

Ridge: You have eyes on her? What just happened?

---

Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is this– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Hope: Hello, hello, hello.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Got time to spend with your favorite daughter?

Deacon: What, are you kidding me? It’s what I live for. Get over here. Hi.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah. Why? What’s up?

Hope: I don’t know. I just feel like there’s maybe something more going on with you, Dad. Are you going to tell me what that is?

---

Hope: If something’s wrong, I’d like to know. Maybe I could help.

Deacon: What makes you think something’s wrong?

Hope: Well, Dad, come on. You’ve been pretty distracted and intense lately. I sometimes catch you brooding in that corner while you think no one’s watching.

Deacon: You know, running a restaurant’s a lot. I’m still learning. I’m making mistakes along the way. Just takes up a lot of real estate in the old brain.

Hope: Yeah?

Deacon: Yeah. I don’t want you worrying about me. I’ll get my sea legs, you know, feel in control of things soon enough.

---

Deacon: I don’t want my daughter worrying about me. Come on, what about you? You have got to be thrilled that Douglas is finally moving back home.

Hope: Well, yes, I am over the moon because it felt like a piece of my heart was missing the entire time he was gone. Makes me very worried about what I’m actually going to be like when they grow up and move out of the house.

Deacon: Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that for a while.

Hope: I know. He was only gone at Steffy’s for a few weeks and it feels like he came back three inches taller. Like, I feel like I missed so much.

Deacon: I know the feeling. My unsolicited advice, don’t dwell on the past. Look, your boy’s home right now. It’s kind of like martial arts. Just focus on what’s right in front of you. You know, that way you don’t miss anything else.

Hope: Oh, look at you. So wise and knowledgeable.

Deacon: Well, listen, you know, it was bound to happen sooner or later along this journey, right? Kicking and screaming most of the time, but still. I am kind of curious though. I mean, was there something specific that happened that– that led Douglas to want to come back home finally?

Hope: Yeah, actually. It was seeing Thomas and me getting along. Working well together and Douglas is a very perceptive young man and he picked up on that tension between Thomas and me regarding his custody and that’s why he chose to go live with Steffy instead of either of us. But we are in a good place now.

Deacon: And you think that’ll hold?

Hope: Yes, we function well when we’re working together and right now, we have a very full plate.

Deacon: Look, hey, I said it before. All right, I mean, I’m no angel. I think we both know that, I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite, but I’m your dad. I gotta ask, I mean, are you sure that Darth Thomas will keep himself from going to the dark side again and becoming completely obsessed with you like he did more than once?

Hope: Dad, he is in a better place now.

Deacon: You really believe that, huh?

Hope: Yes, because for once he’s actually backing it up with action instead of just words. And besides, I have made my position very, very clear. One backslide and he’s out of there and you know, whatever happens to my line happens. Dad, I am going to need you to trust me.

Deacon: I do trust you. I do trust you. All right, but I’m your dad. All right. It’s my job. I’m always gonna worry about you, but I want you to remember something, all right? You are Hope Freaking Logan and half of you is a Sharpe. You created this brand. If the worst should happen, you could build it again and you could do it without Thomas, so I need you to promise me something.

Hope: What’s that?

Deacon: The first sign of any inappropriate behavior by Thomas, you kick his ass to the curb. That way, I won’t have to.

Hope: Dad, I already promised Liam the same thing, so I have no problem promising that to you.

Deacon: Good, so what does everyone’s favorite vegan have to say about you and Thomas working together?

Hope: Well, he’s not thrilled to say the least.

Deacon: But, you know, I can understand that. But, you know, Hope, you’re– you’re an adult. You’re a grown woman. You know, you make your own decisions and choices. I mean, and all we can do is support you and, you know, hope they work out.

Hope: Thank you, dad. I– I appreciate that.

Deacon: I just hope that you working with Thomas doesn’t cause problems for your marriage.

Hope: Liam and I won’t let it. Nothing is more important than our family. And as for Hope For The Future, do I want it to succeed? You bet. I’ve spent too many years of my life pouring everything that I have into it.

Deacon: All right, then I guess all we can do is wish you all the luck in the world.

Hope: Thank you, Dad.

Deacon: Just be careful with that guy. All right. Look, I know– I know you trust him, but I ain’t there. Not even close.

Hope: Dad, you don’t need to worry about Thomas. Besides, not when we have someone like Sheila Carter still on the loose.

---

Bill: Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone?

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hey, what happened? Is she dead?

Bill: I thought she might be. I ran down to the lawn, she was gone.

Ridge: She’s gone?

Bill: Gone. She took the car, she’s gone. I’m gonna call you back.

Bill: I love you, Sheila. I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve.

---

Sheila: They were just lies. All lies. I’ve been so stupid.

Bill: Open up, you need to share with me. Tell each other everything, everything, everything.

Sheila: No!

---

Hope: I mean, I still can’t even believe that Bill and Sheila are together. That Bill is blackmailing Steffy and Finn, bribing a judge just so Sheila can be out of prison.

Deacon: Bill is full of surprises. You gotta give him that.

Hope: Yeah, well, you know, I see her sometimes. Sheila waltzing around Beverly Hills as if she’s entitled to some normal life. I mean, think about it, Dad. I mean, what if that isn’t even enough for her? What if she wants more? What if she wants that family? What if she goes after Steffy and Finn again? Tries something with Hayes?

Deacon: Honey, I think we have to just take the Sheila situation one step at a time.

Hope: Dad, there shouldn’t even be a Sheila situation. She should be behind bars, not living the high life with dollar Bill, having him protect her.

Deacon: You know, sweetheart, life is funny. It eventually works itself out.

Hope: What do you mean?

Deacon: I don’t think we have to worry about Sheila any longer.

Hope: Okay, uh, how can you even say that?

---

Chen: Thank you, Chief Baker. We will.

Ridge: How the hell did this happen?

Chen: Local authorities on full alert. Have description of vehicle and subject. I want updates on the fives.

Ridge: Right, Bill’s on the road too. We had her! We had a confession and once again, Sheila’s gone.

---

Sheila: A Dr. Jay Garvin, he was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me. Let go of me.

Jay: No, get a hold of–

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay screaming ]

Sheila: He fell over the balcony and he died.

Bill: Fell. Let a jury decide.

---

Sheila: There was Lance Day, and he threatened me too.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I sent bees…

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: …Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me! Help me!

Sheila: …And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe.

Sheila: And uh, I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he– he pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me. Help me please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: So, this Lance, you intentionally killed him?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: Say it again.

---

Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list. It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out to the only man who truly understood you. You confessed, Sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices everywhere. Why don’t you give your best smile and wave to Ridge and Agent Chen from the FBI. It was all an act with the FBI watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re gonna cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life!

Sheila: Oh, no. You are wrong, Bill. I am never gonna see the inside of a prison again, you bastard.

---

Hope: How can you say that Sheila is no longer a threat? I mean, Dad, as long as Sheila is breathing air, she’s a danger to the people around her, especially the ones that she claims to love.

Deacon: I think–

[ Phone chiming ]

Deacon: Hang on. Honey, I’m gonna have to cut this short. Something came up, I… hey, Hope. I love you and I’m so proud of you. I just hope that I always give you reason to be proud of me too. Come here.

Hope: Well, I love you too, Dad.

---

Bill: Got something for me?

Ridge: No. Feds, LAPD, they’re canvassing the area. What about you?

Bill: Still working against that head start? We both know where she’s going. She won’t get away. Not this time.

---

Deacon: What’s wrong?

Sheila: Everything. I can’t believe I fell for it. This whole time, it’s been a lie.

Deacon: What are you talking about? What happened?

Sheila: I went back to Bill’s and I accepted his proposal. And here, I thought that I was gonna be starting this wonderful new future and life as– as Mrs. Bill Spencer.

Deacon: That was the plan.

Sheila: I know. He– he said that I needed to open up to him. That there were secrets that I had, things in my past that I was ashamed of and he wanted openness and honesty. What a joke that was.

Deacon: Wait a second, did– did you tell him something that you shouldn’t have? Is that what this is about?

Sheila: Yes. Things that I’m not proud of, but I had no choice. I had to survive.

Deacon: Survive how?

Sheila: There was a Dr. Jay Garvin and– and a kid named Lance Day.

Deacon: Okay, okay. What about ’em?

Sheila: Garvin and I, we were in an argument and he died. He fell over a balcony. I swear. I swear that was an accident.

Deacon: Okay. What about the other guy? Sheila, what are you telling me? What, you meant to kill him?

Sheila: I had to.

Deacon: And you said that Spencer? You– you confessed to murder?

Sheila: I know, I know. It was stupid, but we– we just got engaged and I– I really, I wanted to be honest and– and open with him and have him love me anyways. Is there something really so wrong with that?

Deacon: No, no, of course not. How did he react?

Sheila: He left the room. It was really odd. I just– he’s been acting so strange lately and– and it was like a alarm went off for me and finally, I went looking for him and then there he was, he was– he was on the phone telling them that they– they got me.

Deacon: Who’s they?

Sheila: Ridge.

Deacon: Forrester?

Sheila: Yes, and the feds.

Deacon: The feds?

Sheila: This whole thing has been a setup. He has been playing me this whole time. He had cameras everywhere, rooms bugged. Everything that I said and I did, they were monitoring me. Bill never loved me. He never wanted to be with me. Oh, no, he made it perfectly clear that he hates me. He wants to see me spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, you’ve got to help me. Deacon, I want you to come with me, okay? We can escape, we can be together. Just say yes. Will you just say– say that you’re gonna run away with me? Please? I love you, you know that.

Bill: [Chuckles] Yeah. You did it. You finally opened up.

Sheila: That excites you, bill? Because what I told you is terrible.

Bill: Is it the truth?

Sheila: Yes.

Bill: This dr. Garvin, you had a fight and annie went over the balcony. And lance day. You killed him.

Ridge: Where is your team?

Sheila on audio: Yeah, but he threatened–

Ridge: Are they close?

Sheila: Yeah, these are really terrible memories, and this is such an important day. I really don’t want to spoil the moment you… you proposed.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Sheila: You want me to be your wife and I am so… I am so happy.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: So am I. You have no idea.

Sheila: Doesn’t it scare you? What–what I’ve done?

Bill: No, sheila. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ridge: Yes, we have. We got her. She just confessed! That’s it!

Chen: Spencer did it.

Ridge: Oh, we’re sending the killer to prison and she’s never going to bother our families again.

Sheila: You don’t care… what I’ve done?

Bill: All that matters is that you finally said it.

[Phone buttons clicking]

Brooke: Is everything all right?

Katie: Yeah, it’s will. I mean, he’s fine. He’s better than fine. I just don’t really know what to say to him about his father. You know, I just keep hoping that bill is going to come to his senses or that I’m going to be able to say something to get through to him, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what happened to the man I thought I knew.

Brooke: So bill won’t listen to you at all?

Katie: He won’t listen to anybody. I can only imagine how difficult it’s been for you regarding will.

Katie: Well, I just try to keep things as vague as possible regarding his relationship with sheila. I mean, will adores his father. And no one, or at least I thought no one, was more important to bill than his children and his grandchildren. I mean, he would never want to cause his family any kind of pain. So I don’t understand it. Why is sheila carter suddenly so important to him?

Sheila: I just told you the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Bill: Yeah, it took you long enough.

Sheila: [Scoffs] What?

Bill: You just told me your– your deepest, darkest secrets. It’s going to change everything.

Sheila: In a good way.

Bill: In the best way.

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Can you please keep it together?

Bill: I’ve always known exactly who you are. I’m going to keep my promise. I’m going to give you the future that you so richly deserve. [Laughs]

Bill: [Chuckles]

Ridge: Bill came through! He got sheila to confess. Tell me you got all that.

Chen: It’s all been recorded.

Ridge: Okay, good. She’s going away for murder one. Our plan worked.

Chen: It’s not over. We don’t have sheila in custody yet.

Sheila: Bill, if what i told you hasn’t changed your feelings about us, then why suddenly so quiet?

Bill: Oh, I’m, uh… I’m just thinking about the future, what’s ahead of us now. I am more pleased and relieved than you could ever imagine.

Sheila: Relieved? Relieved that I accepted your proposal? Did you think I might not?

Brooke: Well, you did, uh, you did hesitate. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sheila: It’s because no one has ever treated me the way that you do. I know our relationship, it’s unconventional, but I know that you love me. Are you worried about your family, how they might react?

Bill: Well, uh… my family has never really understood what’s going on here, but hopefully now they will.

Sheila: [Laughs] Do you think that there might be a chance that they accept us? Because that would be worth a celebration.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I see a tremendous celebration on the horizon. But right now, that’s just one thing I have to take care of. I promise I’ll be right back.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: You just stay put.

[Door opens, closes]

Katie: If I thought I could talk some sense into bill, I would be over at the house right now.

Brooke: Gosh. No, you can’t do that. Talking to him is pointless. He can’t even say one word when sheila’s in the room.

Katie: He just lets her rant and rave, and he barely makes eye contact.

Brooke: It’s so strange, right?

Katie: He’s the most assertive person I’ve ever met in my entire life. But with her, suddenly he’s so passive, it’s–it’s unnerving.

Carter: Hey. Seems like you guys are having a serious meeting. Is everything okay?

Katie: Yeah, we’re just, you know, talking about bill and sheila.

Carter: Something happen?

Brooke: No, that’s the problem. Nothing’s happened. Nothing’s changed at all.

Katie: Bill is as inscrutable as ever, and we don’t understand it. I mean, the man that we have known is just–he’s like a shell of himself.

Brooke: We just have to hope and pray that bill wakes up one day and makes sheila pay for her crimes.

Bill: Tell me you got that.

Ridge: Yes, we did. We got all of it. Congratulations. It’s a lot of work, but we got it done.

Bill: The whole confession, names, everything?

Chen: Agent chen here. Affirmative, bill. Good work, but you’re not done. It’s critical you keep sheila at the estate until my team reaches your location.

Bill: Don’t worry. I can handle sheila. We got her. We finally got her.

Sheila: You got me? Who are you talking to, bill? (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Carter: There is no question that bill is not himself, allowing sheila to dictate his life.

Brooke: Who’s allowed in the house, and how we’re supposed to speak to her when we’re there?

Katie: All his protective instincts are pointed in the wrong direction.

Brooke: He’s not even looking out for himself.

Carter: I mean, the woman shot her own son. She left finn in that alley to die. She’s not someone bill can trust.

Katie: He’s always been a risk taker. He thrives on danger and excitement, but this is beyond reckless.

Carter: Is that the attraction? He likes playing with fire?

Katie: I don’t think so. He doesn’t seem to be getting any kind of thrill out of this.

Carter: Okay, so then is it penance for hurting you and brooke?

Katie: I thought that might be the case at first, but then we would have been able to talk him out of this. One thing is for sure, the longer this goes on, the more danger we’re all in. Especially bill.

Sheila: You finally got me. Who were you talking to on the phone? Tell me, bill. You weren’t talking about our engagement, our marriage, our future, were you?

Bill: Our marriage? [Chuckles] Our–our future? This great love story, you and me? The woman who shot steffy and finn, the vicious criminal who tried to kill my granddaughter’s mother?

Sheila: Criminal? You think… you asked me to be your wife? You put this ring on my finger, and you professed your love over and over again. We made love in your bed. You told me your deepest, darkest secrets, your feelings. You shared that with me.

Bill: No, no, no. You shared your deepest crimes with me.

Sheila: No way. What you’re saying, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Bill: Doesn’t it, though? Everything I’ve said, everything I’ve done, sacrificed, it all finally does make sense, sheila. Come on, now. I know you’re delusional, but it’s got to be sinking in. The lie that I’ve been living for months, the acting challenge of a lifetime. Pretending to defend you, care about you, love you.

Ridge: You had to overplay it didn’t you? Don’t let her get away.

[Running footsteps on audio]

Bill: You’re not getting out of this.

Sheila: You never even wanted me here.

Bill: When you leave, it’ll be in cuffs.

Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list.

Sheila: No, no, because if you wanted me locked up, you could have had me arrested on the beach that night.

Bill: Oh, you mean that night when you just happened to find me moping in the dark, drinking away my sorrows, all alone at il giardino?

Sheila: You were in pain. You were lost and hurting. Oh, my god.

Bill: Is the light going on? Is it? Was I lost and hurting? Or was I waiting for you to take the bait? It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out [Mocking] To the only man who truly understood you. [Regular voice] You finally did. Took me months. Had to put a ring on your finger, but I got you. That poor lance kid, he’s gonna get his justice. His killer is going to be locked up for good.

Sheila: No, no, because this is not happening.

Bill: You confessed, sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life, and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Your reign of terror is over. You hear me? It’s over, bitch!

Brooke: So it doesn’t bother carter that you’re so worried about bill?

Katie: Carter’s worried, too.

Brooke: You can’t let it impact your relationship. When it’s new like this, the stress can…

Katie: He’s been a rock for me. He’s been so supportive and understanding.

Brooke: Okay. I’m glad.

Katie: I’ve really needed it, too, because this whole situation with bill and sheila has made me feel a little crazy.

Brooke: You’re not crazy. Bill is the crazy one. He’s hurting everybody that he says he cares about.

Katie: And for no reason. I don’t know. I just can’t help but think that there’s got to be something more to this. It can’t just be about protecting sheila. There’s got to be something we’re missing.

Brooke: What?

Katie: I don’t know. But the man I fell in love with, the father of my son, wouldn’t do something like this. I just have to believe that the real bill is in there somewhere… just waiting to come out.

Sheila: I never… terrorized you, bill. I cared about you.

Bill: Every moment I spent with you was pure anguish. But I couldn’t give in to my revulsion. I needed you to confess.

Sheila: You can’t prove anything. There’s–there’s no evidence. No one knows what I said, so it’s your word against mine.

Bill: Well, that–that would be a problem if every incriminating word you spoke hadn’t been recorded. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices, here, there, everywhere. As a matter of fact, why don’t you give your best smile and wave to ridge and agent chen from the fbi?

Sheila: Ridge was a part of all of this?

Bill: Oh, look, yeah. You know how those dress designers can be, holding a grudge when you try and kill their daughter? You shot steffy and left her for dead!

Ridge: And now you’re gonna pay.

Bill: You think ridge was going to let you get away with that? No. We were never alone here. You were never safe. I never cared about you. It was all an act with the fbi watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re going to cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: What about everything you said to me? To brooke, to katie, your sons?

Bill: Well, you know, I don’t want to be a braggart, pat myself on the back, but I was pretty good. They actually believed that I had fallen under your spell. See, I had to convince them to convince you. I had to burn every bridge.

Sheila: And they hate you for that!

Bill: Not as much as I hate you! It killed me. Having to listen to you fawn over me. Made me want to puke. Having to hug you, hold you, caress you. Have–have you… in my…in my bed.

Sheila: You call me a monster. The only way that this despicable plan could even work is if I’m not one. All I ever wanted was to be loved, to… have someone show me some compassion, some understanding. And what did you do? You used me, bill. You used me!

Bill: Yes. You are damn right, I did. Who could ever love something like you?

Sheila: My son. He wanted to know me. My own flesh and blood. If steffy hadn’t poisoned him against me–

Bill: Just shut up! Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done. Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! [Shrieking]

Ridge: No!

Sheila: [Yells]

[Body lands]

Sheila: What are you up to, bill? What’s going on?

Ridge: Oh, no.

Bill: I’ve asked you to be my wife.

Sheila: And you’ve been good to me in every way, but one thing history has shown me is that if things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

Ridge: She knows. She’s onto him.

Chen: Everyone, standby.

Sheila: Are you playing me?

Brooke: It is quite shocking that thomas is designing for hope for the future again, but, you know, trying to be supportive for hope’s sake.

Katie: Yeah, well, fingers crossed. Maybe thomas will end up surprising us all.

Brooke: Yeah. I guess carter was surprised to find out that thomas was back on the payroll.

Katie: Yeah. His jaw was on the floor.

Brooke: I thought that only happened when you walked in the room.

Carter: He’s a good man.

Brooke: I’m happy that you’re happy.

Katie: Well, I will admit, it’s been nice having him by my side through this whole bill drama, but I would be happier if bill would just eliminate sheila from his life once and for all.

Brooke: Yeah.

Steffy: That’s a nice surprise. I love that you’re able to sneak away from the hospital just to be with me.

Finn: My procedure got rescheduled and I want to take full advantage.

Steffy: Well, I am glad to hear that… ’cause I was thinking about taking full advantage of you.

Finn: We gotta keep stealing these moments, steffy.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Moments when the craziness of bill and sheila isn’t consuming us.

Steffy: I was wondering how long it was gonna take before we brought them up.

Finn: Well, that was just about three and a half minutes.

Steffy: Really? Well, how about we block another three minutes because all I want to be doing is consuming my sexy, sweet husband.

Brooke: Bill completely shut me out.

Katie: Me too basically.

Brooke: Well, let’s just hope he wakes up before sheila does any more damage.

Katie: He’s so secretive about their life together. Kind of makes me wonder what he’s really up to.

Bill: Playing you? What do you mean?

Sheila: What is this? What are you doing?

Ridge: Okay, slow down. Don’t let her rattle you.

Bill: Could I make myself

any clearer? I have given you an engagement ring, asked you to marry me. Now, I– I realize that may be a bit of a shock.

Sheila: Oh, a shock? It’s unbelievable. It’s unreal. Only in my wildest dreams. And that’s what makes me wonder, what’s really going on here? What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: I– I just, I don’t understand it. I know that he says he feels abandoned and– and alone, but how can he turn his back on his– his kids. I know he loves will, despite this insane attachment to sheila. I mean, how can he not see how destructive this is to himself, to his family, his friends?

Brooke: I don’t know. Just seems like he doesn’t care anymore. It’s like he’s given up.

Katie: I just don’t know how he could throw it all away. His relationship with his kids and his family, for– all for this psycho.

Bill: I thought we trusted each other.

Sheila: I thought so too.

Bill: Well then, what’s the problem? Am I moving too fast? Look, talk to me. I mean, we’re already living together. I– I have distanced myself from everyone in my life because you’re my priority. You’re the only one I want, so why not make our commitment official?

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Pick up the pace. Tell sheila what she wants to hear.

Bill: I know it’s a big step. You’re scared. Hell, I’m scared too. It’s a big risk we take, being open and vulnerable. We’ve both been burned a thousand times before.

Sheila: Yeah. I don’t like it when people betray me.

Bill: And I don’t like it when people betray me. That’s why I understand. Things haven’t turned out the way you hoped. You’ve had the rug pulled out from underneath you. Men don’t accept you. They turn and run the other way. That’s why you’re so guarded.

Sheila: Am I afraid or… guarded? Suspicious? Or am I just smart? And perceptive?

Ridge: Get it together, billy, or this whole thing is gonna blow.

Sheila: Tell me, bill. Am I right? Are you up to no good? Remember the things you loved

Steffy: Wow.

[ Steffy chuckling ] Gosh. Nothing these past few months are making any sense.

Finn: Yeah. And here we are analyzing why bill is doing the things that he’s doing. I mean…

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Is he really buying what sheila is selling?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know why bill is alienating himself from liam and wyatt, katie and brooke. Why is he defending that monster?

Finn: And blackmailing your mom.

Steffy: Where has my dad been?

Finn: Ridge has been gone months now.

Steffy: He checks in occasionally, usually about business, but where is he? And why isn’t he here to help us?

Ridge: Come on, bill. Get it done. Turn it around.

Bill: Wow.

Wow, I never saw that coming. Not from you. Haven’t I proven myself enough? Haven’t I devoted enough of myself to you? I’ve burned every bridge in my life. I’ve gone against my kids, my own kids. I mean, what more do you want from me?

I have given all of myself

to you.

I’ve gotten down on one knee.

No strings, no pre-nup.

Ridge: There you go.

Bill: Why would I do that? Because I thought I finally found someone who would love and accept me for me. I’m a flawed man. I can admit that.

I have my demons.

I have committed crimes.

I have done the unimaginable, just like you have. Does that mean I’m not deserving of being loved? Does that mean I’m not deserving of being seen and understood for who I am? No. I am deserving of that. And I thought I finally found that in you. And that’s why I promised to give you the same in return. Because we both finally found true love. But you have to be willing to accept it, sheila. Will you accept it? Will you say yes? Let me put this ring on your finger, make you my wife and give you the future that you so wretchedly deserve.

Sheila: Yes. Yes, bill. I will marry you. I’d love to be your wife.

I would love to be your wife.

Ridge: Good. She bought it.

Chen: Nice work.

Ridge: That was all bill. I’m glad he got it done ’cause I gotta tell you, couldn’t take another minute of mr. Romance over there.

[ Sheila laughing ] Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Did my dad move and not tell us? Is he some place gorgeous, just living it up?

Finn: Ridge will be back eventually. And I’m sure karma will take care of sheila some day because right now, I just want to enjoy you, steffy. I want to enjoy us. And I made a commitment to keep you and my family safe, but… I also vowed to have and to hold you for eternity.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s a really– that’s a really long time.

Finn: It’s not long enough, if you ask me.

Katie: He’s lost to us. I don’t know. The man that we’ve known, that we’ve loved, he’s not there anymore.

Brooke: I know. Sheila’s presence has changed him.

Katie: I just have to believe that the old bill spencer is in there somewhere and he’s gonna come back to us.

Brooke: And then sheila will be out of all of our lives once and for all.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Ah, yes. All this time watching bill pretend that he’s into sheila.

Chen: Finally, she trusts him enough to accept his proposal, but can he get her to confess to murder one?

Ridge: He better. It’s the only way we can put her away forever.

[ Both laughing ]

Sheila: Oh, it is beautiful.

Bill: I couldn’t let you get away. This moment was too important to me. I know exactly what I want my future to look like from this day forward and I don’t ever want to wonder where you are. But to do this, we have to have a foundation of complete openness and honesty. Trust.

Now, I have been totally

forthcoming with you,

but there are things you

haven’t shared with me. Secrets from your past that– that frighten you, that you’re ashamed of. Secrets that keep you from giving all of yourself to me the way that I have to you. I need to hear it all, sheila.

Sheila: I have with you. You already know. I shot finn and steffy.

Bill: Yes, I– I know that. Unburden yourself. You’ve– you’ve told me that you have done unimaginable things.

Ridge: Come on. Close it out, bill.

Bill: I know you’re haunted and I know what that feels like.

Sheila: There was… a doctor, jay garvin. He was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me.

Ridge: Here we go.

Sheila: We, uh… had an argument.

You can’t tell him anything! And there was a scuffle on a balcony.

Jay: Sheila, get a hold

of yourself!

Get a hold of yourself!

Bill: What happened? You had enough? You pushed him over the balcony?

Jay: Calm down, now!

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No!

Sheila: He grabbed me and I shook free of him, then he… he fell over the balcony and he died. His death, it was tragic, but I never– I never meant to kill him. He just… he just fell.

Ridge: What? What the hell?

Bill: So sorry you had to go through that. It sounds awful.

Sheila: Oh, shoot. This– I feel so much better. I’ve never told anybody this.

Bill: I’m glad. But, I know there’s more. Something, something from your past that you’ve been carrying around all these years. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: There was… lance day. And he threatened me too.

Ridge: Okay.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I… I sent bees.

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over…

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me!

Help me!

Sheila: And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe!

Sheila: And…

Lance: Help me! Help me!

Sheila: I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he…

what’s the matter?

You don’t feel well? He pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me.

Help me, please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: What did you do?

Sheila: I stood there and I watched him die.

Bill: So, this lance, you intentionally killed him? It’s okay.

You’re safe here.

You can tell me.

Sheila: Yes.

Ridge: And she’s done, right? She’s done. That’s it. He did it!

Bill: You… you murdered lance day?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: That’s so hot. You naughty, naughty girl. Say it again.

Sheila: I… am a murderer.

Deacon: It’s a black diamond, just like spencer’s heart. Guess he really does want to marry you.

Sheila: He does. He wants to marry me. I– I can’t believe this is happening.

Bill: Any update?

Chen: There’s been no movement. Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Ridge: I’m hoping your girlfriend’s gonna make an honest man out of you.

Bill: Can it, dressmaker.

I’m putting on the performance

of a lifetime over here.

Ridge: Okay. Yeah, well, she’s buying it.

Bill: She better be

buying it because I can’t

stand another night with that

woman. In fact, I can’t stand

another moment with that

whack job.

Ridge: It’s all right. Hang in there. It’s almost over.

[ Bill sighing ]

Thomas: It’s still weird seeing me here, huh?

Hope: Yeah, but also, not that weird, if that makes sense.

Thomas: Yeah, it does. It’s like we fell right back into a groove. No time lost.

Hope: I’ll admit, I had my doubts about us being able to work together after everything we’ve been through, but.

Thomas: Yeah, but you were willing to give me another chance.

Hope: Well, I’ve seen the hard work you’ve put into it. I mean, the apologies you’ve made, the behavior that backs it up and yeah, I am glad you’re back on hope to the future, but that’s actually um, not what I came here to talk to you about. I, um, I needed to talk to you about something else.

Thomas: I think I know what you’re thinking. The adjustments made to the halter. Honestly, I think that–

Hope: No, thomas. The adjustments were great. They were fine. You actually read my mind, like you always do. No, this is um… look, I know you and steffy had some sort of conversation about uh…

Thomas: About back when you said that I was hot.

Hope: Sure, yeah, uh… I just wanna make sure that going forward that it’s–

Thomas: Hey, don’t even think about it. Look, sometimes people say things. They think they’re talking in confidence and honestly, it’s not that big of a deal. I completely understand that us working together is nothing more than us creating this amazing, wonderful line together and that’s it. And, we’ve always worked well together. I do remember it really well.

Douglas: Dad’s the best.

[Applause]

Thomas: You were right. Look at– look at the audience’s reaction. They’re loving it. We’re an incredible team. We have a son together and we have this line together and I promise I will not do anything to ever make things weird between us again.

Chen: Sheila being at sharpe’s this long could prove problematic.

Ridge: I don’t think so. I think whatever guilt she’s feeling about her little affair with deacon is gonna drive her right back into bill’s arms.

Chen: Bill, you’re the resident sheila expert.

Ridge: Do you ever feel like some of the feelings he’s pretending to have, that maybe their real? ‘Cause–

Bill: No, this is great.

I gotta listen to jokes from

a grown man who’s wearing

a samurai bun.

Ridge: I’m just messing with you. No hair jokes. Come on. I’ve been stuck in here with– I’ve been stuck in here and the only fun I have is making fun of you, so.

Bill: I’m glad I can

provide some entertainment

for you clowns.

Ridge: See? You’re providing something. Thank you. Can you please get back to work?

Bill: Don’t worry about it. I’ll be laser focused. When sheila gets back here, I’ll slip that rock on her finger and get her to confess to first degree murder.

Sheila: I never, in a million years, expected bill to propose to me. He’s just… he’s more than I ever thought he could be. He’s kind and generous.

Deacon: Generous? Sheila, I think if you look a little deeper in that ring box, you’re gonna find a nice, shiny pre-nup.

Sheila: No. He says he doesn’t one.

Deacon: What? You gotta be kidding me. This is california. He’s not just gonna risk half his fortune.

Sheila: He says it’s not necessary. That he has everything he needs and that that’s me. Deacon, I just– I can’t believe this. I am going to be free and I’m gonna be filthy rich.

Deacon: What’s the matter?

Sheila: It’s just that, I really have to wonder. Is this really bill spencer? Some people have minor joint pain plus stomach problems.

Hope: These are a real departure from the last campaign.

Thomas: Well, it’s kinda the evolution I’m talking about. You know, your thoughts, your feelings and your outlook on life, it changes and your line should reflect that.

Hope: Well, I can’t wait.

Thomas: Oh, uh, check out this little change that zende made down here.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I love that. I would have never thought of that, the shoe.

Thomas: Zende and I have been working really well together. Honestly, I’m just– I’m just excited that you are stoked about the line and working together on it.

Hope: Yeah, I know. Feels good.

Thomas: And what about liam? Everything okay with him? Look, I don’t ever want to put any kind of stress on your marriage.

Hope: I appreciate that, thomas. I really do, but there’s nothing to worry about. Liam and I, we’re fine.

Chen: Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Bill: What the hell is

taking her so long?

Ridge: All right, take a breath.

Bill: Don’t tell me

to take a breath!

I’ve been at this for months.

It’s driving me crazy.

Ridge: To be fair, you were crazy before this. Only now, we can use it to our advantage.

Bill: I don’t see you

jumping over here to take

my place.

Ridge: Hey, we all have parts to play and the part you’re playing… honestly, it can’t be played by anyone else, so let’s finish this. Put sheila behind bars so our family can be safe, all right?

Deacon: What do you mean, “is this really bill?”

Sheila: It seems so amazing, doesn’t it? Him proposing to me, no pre-nup? Professing his love?

Deacon: Yeah, it’s amazing, definitely. I mean, are you sure, really sure, this is the real deal?

Sheila: It sure feels that way.

Deacon: I guess passion and connection can’t compete with freedom and the good life.

Sheila: I care for you, deacon.

Deacon: I know. Listen. Bill came in, swept you off your feet.

Sheila: Can you even imagine me, mrs. Bill spencer?

Deacon: This is everything you’ve ever wanted. Why question it?

Sheila: I don’t know, I just… I hope he hasn’t been compromised some how.

Deacon: I– I mean, I guess it’s possible, but don’t sell yourself short. You came into his world, you turned it upside down. Sheila, you are intoxicating. I know that first hand.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: It’s just with– with bill, there’s something that’s just missing.

Deacon: Like a brain? Conscience? Maybe a soul?

Sheila: You know, bill can seem so far away. Deacon, he can look right at me and I don’t know what he’s thinking.

Deacon: Look, did I hear correctly? That the prince of darkness actually wants to marry you without a pre-nup? Sheila, that should tell you everything that bill’s thinking. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Thomas: I– I love this fabric, you know? It holds–

Hope and thomas: The pattern so nicely.

Hope: I agree, I agree.

Thomas: It’s edgy, but soft. And I was going for strong and refined.

Hope: And it is elegant, yet sexy, which is walking that line that I want us to walk. It’s exactly what I want for the collection.

Thomas: I know.

Hope: Yeah, you get it.

Thomas: I do. We make a good team.

Hope: Oh, gosh. It’s just– you look so beautiful. I am so excited about this– this upcoming line. I mean.. thomas, I am… I’m really happy you’re back.

Thomas: Me too.

Deacon: Look, I don’t like spencer and I probably never will, but you can’t argue the size of that rock. Don’t overthink this. If the guy makes you happy, then that’s where you should be.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Uh, it’s bill.

Deacon: Speak of the devil, literally. Go ahead, take it.

Sheila: Hi, bill.

Bill: You okay? I thought you’d be home by now.

Sheila: I just, uh, had a lot to process. I’ve got a lot to think about.

Bill: Good things, I hope.

Sheila: Yes. Everything that you’ve done for me, I… I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say.

Bill: Sure you do. Just get home so we can plan our future together.

Sheila: I’ll be home shortly. I promise.

Bill: I love you.

Sheila: I love you too.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: Hey.

Ridge: Can you take it easy with the I love yous please?

Bill: Why don’t you relax,

all right? Sometimes, using

a lot of cheese is the best

way to catch a rat.

Ridge: Can you please just focus? She’s gonna be home soon.

Bill: Oh, I am more than ready for this nightmare to end. Our families are going to be safe. Sheila carter is going down today.

Sheila: Bill wants me to come home. He says we have a future to plan.

Deacon: Invite me to the wedding.

Sheila: Huh?

Deacon: You’re still freaked out.

Sheila: I just– it’s not that I’m freaked out, it’s just not what I was expecting.

Deacon: Believe me, I didn’t expect spencer to propose to you either.

Sheila: So, what are you saying? Are you saying that I shouldn’t trust him?

Deacon: That’s not what I said. Come here. Come here. You and I had some amazing times together and I’ll never forget you. Now, you gotta go. Go make your future. Go. I’m steve.

Ridge: How many candles are you lighting? You’re gonna burn down the place.

Bill: Relax, grandma.

I’m setting the mood.

Ridge: What about the rose petals? You gonna do that?

Bill: Yeah, yeah.

Don’t rush me.

Chen: Sheila’s entering the grounds.

Ridge: She’s coming up the driveway.

Bill: It’s showtime.

Ridge: All right. We’ve got your back.

[ Car approaching ]

[ Car door slamming ]

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Is this all for me?

Bill: This and more.

Sheila: It’s beautiful.

Bill: I’ve been anxiously waiting for you to get home. There’s so much ahead of us.

Sheila: Like planning

our future.

Bill: Exactly like that.

Sheila: I’m sorry. My… my head is just spinning right now.

Bill: Well, slow it down. I love you. Nothing’s changed.

Sheila: Oh, no. It’s marriage. That’S… that’s commitment, making me your wife.

Bill: We’ve been on this crazy ridge together, haven’t we? I mean, who would’ve ever thought bill spencer and sheila carter?

Sheila: Absolutely no one.

Bill: Absolutely no one and that’s– that’s the beauty of it. We both tried our hands unsuccessfully at love and why? Because we chose the wrong people. Eric could never give you what I can. Brooke, katie– they never loved me for me. They tried to change me, but not you.

Sheila: No, I never would.

Bill: No. I need this. There has never been anything more important to me in my life. I’ve burned every bridge for you and I would do it all again. That’s how much this means to me. I wanna give you the life you deserve, but I can’t do that if you keep holding back. We can’t have any more walls. We can’t have any more secrets. I mean, look at you.

You’re doing it now.

You’ve gotta let go. Say yes. Say you’ll be my wife.

Let me change your life.

Sheila: You know, I’ve fantasized about this moment my whole life. Wanting someone to love me and cherish me and hold on to me and not want to let go, but I’ve been abandoned and left behind most of my life, so I really gave up hope. And now, here you are. One fateful night on a beach together. Two outcasts that need love.

But bill, you are everything

that I ever dreamed of, everything that I hoped for. A man that truly loves me. A man that I can trust.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to believe everything that you said, I really do, but I’ve learned a lot in life. And when things seem too good to be true, they are. So, what’s really happening here? Are you playing me for a fool, bill? Are you?

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You’re proposing. You’re really… ready for marriage.

Bill: I am ready to share my life with someone who finally understands me. A woman that I can share my dreams with. All my secrets. And I know that she’s willing to do the same. Look, we’ve both been married before. We couldn’t be our true selves out of either fear or embarrassment. So just imagine what it will be like to be able to be our authentic selves without judgment. Am I ready?

[ Chuckles ] You’re damn right that I am ready. And I hope you are too. So say yes, sheila. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

Det. Chen: And sheila’s buying this?

Ridge: She has to. This proposal’s gonna put her over the top. She’s gonna trust bill completely and spill her secret.

Det. Chen: The crimes we can charge her with might not put her away for life, but–

Ridge: First degree murder will. We all know she’s done it. Just need some proof. Come on, sheila, take the bait.

Stephen: Ridge is mia. Now, at such a critical and dangerous time for you and your family.

Brooke: You have to understand, dad. He were so disillusioned.

Stephen: No, no, no. Thomas pulled a horrific stunt and ridge should be angry. I’m not saying otherwise, but to leave town now and for how long with sheila carter at large? I mean, what– what is wrong with him? What is ridge up to?

Paul: Hey, guys, enjoy your meal.

Woman: Thank you so much.

Deacon: So that’s it, huh? One and done? You haven’t seen brooke again?

Paul: It’s not that I don’t want to, but, uh… she’s not ready to put herself back out there. Gotta respect her wishes.

Deacon: Yeah, you do. And thanks for that. Although, I gotta tell you, I’m not surprised because ridge isn’t exactly someone that she’s gonna get over quickly.

Paul: Yeah. Well, the longer he stays out of town, the easier it should get.

Deacon: You would think.

Paul: Unless… you think maybe he’s finally made his way back?

Brooke: Dad, criticizing ridge doesn’t really help.

Stephen: Was i being critical?

Pam: Oh, a tad.

Stephen: Strange, him not being here. That’s all I’m saying.

Brooke: He’s got his reasons. Whatever it is, is important. He told me that whatever he’s doing is for himself and for the wellbeing of the family.

Stephen: Whatever that means.

Ridge: Sheila thinks she’s gonna get everything she ever wanted. Come on honey, put on the ring. Spill your guts so we can lock you up. Keep you away from our families.

Bill: Well, what is it? I mean, what’s going on in that head of yours? Are you thinking that we’re already living together and that’s a commitment? Well, no. I mean, it’s– it’s not. You can call me old fashioned, but symbolism matters to me. What that ring on your finger tells the world and, more importantly, what it tells us. This is my way of, I don’t know, breaking down any final barriers that exist between us. It– it tells you that you can believe in me. Completely. When I put this ring on your finger… it means that we can be open with each other about anything.

Sheila: No. Stop. Stop.

Deacon: Wait.

Paul: So, now that my love life’s not going anywhere, tell me about yours. Let me live vicariously through you.

Deacon: Me. What? Are you kidding me? You’ve been on way more dates than I have.

Paul: What? One?

Deacon: I– way more dates than I have.

Paul: Really? So that whole mystery woman and you are no longer an item?

Deacon: Look, the only mystery that I got going on is whether or not this place is gonna be a success. So what do you say? Let’s get back to work.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Stephen: Bill actually says it’s love, these feelings he has for sheila?

Brooke: It’s not easy for me to comprehend. I mean, why couldn’t he find a woman with a conscience or… somebody who doesn’t belong in prison?

Pam: Who hasn’t tried to kill you. I mean, he keeps… putting people he cares about at risk. That’s what I cannot wrap my head around.

Brooke: Yeah. I wish I could explain it, but I can’T. I don’t think I’ll ever understand what bill is doing with sheila.

Bill: Why are you hesitating? You don’t want this? You don’t want a future together? A life together?

Sheila: A life, yeah. And we have talked about a future. I have– I’ve fantasized about that. But even so, I– I never imagined becoming mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: Well, start imagining. Imagine the biggest, grandest wedding of your dreams. Or if you prefer to drive down to city hall and do that, hey, no problem. Whatever you prefer, right? I don’t care as long as it happens. I– I– I– wanna show all the naysayers what you mean to me. I don’t wanna hide our relationship. I don’t wanna hide our feelings. I mean, with you by my side. I don’t feel like I have to hide anything from anyone, least of all you. Share my– my hopes and my dreams and… my fears. That’s what I want this to be. We are the keepers of each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. This ring says that you can– you can believe in me completely. It’s a symbol of– of the door that we can walk through… into our future.

Sheila: Yeah, a future where, uh… I’m your wife.

Bill: Yes.

[ Laughs ] Yes. That you’re my wife. We can both have the kind of relationship that we have always longed for. One where we are– we are opened, we are honest, we have full transparency. There’s nothing hidden, no secrets.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You– you think that your sons were upset before, when they find about this–

Bill: Stop. Stop. I don’t give a damn about my sons. They don’t know what’s best for me. I know what’s best for me. And that’s you.

Sheila: Okay. Full transparency?

Bill: Mm-hmm.

Sheila: What are you really talking about here? I am– I’m not naive, bill. I’m sure that you’ve– you’ve passed this by your lawyers. So what is it? What is it that I have to sign? The prenup?

Bill: The pre…

[ Laughs ] There’s– there’s no prenup. No! What, you– you think I wanna go into this with– with an expiration date on it? No. No prenup, no lawyers, no legalese. Nothing. Nothing but my full… an undying commitment to you. Put the ring on, sheila. Say you’ll marry me. I’m jonathan lawson

Stephen: Bill wasn’t hearing anything you had to say.

Brooke: Well, that’s just it. He was. He even acknowledged that I was right.

Pam: Well, you are right, but he still wants to be with this crazy woman, a woman who shot you. Must be terrifying knowing that sheila’s walking free.

Brooke: Extremely. Not knowing when she’s gonna show up or where, or if she’s gonna be in a vengeful mood or not. It’s no way to live.

Stephen: All the more reason ridge should be here right now. Okay, honey, I– I’m trying to bite my tongue about this. But come on… ridge wants to disappear for a while, fine. But let him do it another time. Not now. Not while his family needs him the most.

Det. Chen: She hasn’t said yes yet. Could be a problem.

Ridge: Come on, bill. Just get that ring on her finger and make your fiancé confess to murder one.

Sheila: I just… I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised. It’s the last thing I was expecting,

Bill: Is it really? Even with all the late night conversations we had about this very thing and cuddling by the fire, talking about our future, you didn’t have even the slightest idea?

Sheila: Okay. There’s no doubt that we had a very powerful connection. But even so, I mean, there are times that I look at you and I really have no idea what you are thinking.

Bill: All right. Can we–

Sheila: Or– no, I’m– or how do you even feel about me?

Bill: I was about to say, I think we’ve covered that, haven’t we? And it’s– it’s hard for people like us to– to fully trust. This is the– hell, the first time in my life that I’ve been able to be my authentic self with someone. And that’s because you accept me for me. You love me for me. The good, the bad, and– and– and the ugly. We’re able to be real with each other. I’ve had– that’s the beauty of this. And that’s the symbolic promise that this ring holds. And the symbolic promise that our– our vows would hold when we stand at the altar.

Sheila: This means so much to me. It’s what I’ve always wanted. And I-I’ve always craved.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to. I just… I– I– I need a minute. I need to process, because… this is a huge step. It’ll alter my future. It– it’ll change the course of my life.

Bill: Wow.

[ Laughs ] Truer words have never been spoken. You accept my proposal, it will permanently change your future.

Sheila: I’ll have an answer. I– I will. I just… I need to go for a drive. I– I won’t be long.

Bill: Okay. I want you to do whatever, whatever you need. But… I also want you to take this with you and try it on.

Sheila: No, bill.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want– I want you to see how it feels. I’ll be here waiting for you.

Sheila: Okay. I will. I won’t be long. I will… have an answer.

[ Footsteps receding ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, I’m darlene let her leave.

Det. Chen: Don’t worry. I’m checking with the crew on the ground, making sure they’re following.

Ridge: What if she runs? What do we do then?

Det. Chen: You do remember how many agents we have on this, right? How many we’ve had since even before her absurd prison release.

Ridge: Think about that. Why would she buy that? Why would you think that a judge would just set her free?

Det. Chen: Just because your daughter didn’t testify. Clearly, he had to let her go. There was no other option. For a criminal mastermind, sheila’s kinda gullible.

Ridge: All the time we put into this. All the people. Not just… bill, but the judge, you, your team.

Det. Chen: Don’t forget you. You’ve been here day and night since the beginning.

Ridge: We couldn’t just send her down for an attempted murder. They’d let her go after a couple of years. She’d go after my family again. I can’t have that. Need to put her away for something bigger. And murder one will do the trick. Just need some proof.

[ Laptop beeps ] This can’t all have been for nothing.

Det. Chen: Ah, so that’s where she went.

Ridge: Where?

Det. Chen: Sheila, surprise, surprise, where she ran off to? Deacon sharpe’s apartment, again.

[ Knock on the door ]

Deacon: Your text said it was important. What’s going on?

Sheila: It’s– it’s– it’s bill.

Deacon: What about bill?

Sheila: It’s unbelievable. Unimaginable, really. I– I– something I– I never thought he’d ever do.

Deacon: What did he do? What did spencer do?

Sheila: I’ve been living with him for a while now.

Deacon: I’m aware.

Sheila: Oh, I– I’m– I really can’t believe that– that he took me in, that he never sent me back to jail. And– and now… I know why, deacon, he loves me. He truly loves me.

Deacon: I– I– I mean, did– did he do something to demonstrate this? I mean, what did he buy you, a tiara?

Sheila: Oh. A ring.

Deacon: A ring?

Sheila: Yes. A gorgeous, beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Deacon: Wait, you’re telling me that bill the billionaire proposed to sheila the felon?

Sheila: That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wants to make me his wife. He– he doesn’t want anything keeping us apart. He wants me to open up to him completely. I can’t believe this. I mean… he wants me to be mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: She was clearly shocked, but I think she bought it.

Ridge: You sold it well.

Bill: Well, of course I sold it well. I told you from the beginning I was gonna sell it well.

Ridge: I’m so sorry I didn’t say– yes. You sold it well. You didn’t sell it perfectly. Because once again, you had to put billy’s spin on it with all this honesty and trust. Where did that come from?

Bill: Well, whose spin am I supposed to put on it? I’m the only one here. And that was the idea, right? Lay it on thick. Get the confession.

Ridge: The idea was not to tip her off.

Bill: Well, you know what? I must have missed this chapter in my how to con a psycho handbook. Look, I told you, I’m about at the end of my rope. I wanna get that confession and be done with this.

Ridge: And you will get it if you stick to the plan. Can you do that? Just make her feel comfortable and then we can move on.

Det. Chen: She’s still at sharpe’s place.

Ridge: Your girlfriend’s at deacon’S.

Bill: What is that about? What is that? She– she has to get permission from that dimwit pizza maker to accept my proposal?

Ridge: And he’ll give it to her.

Bill: Then she’ll come racing back here. I will slip that ring on her finger, make her squeal like a pig. She will confess to everybody she’s offed. And then, then we will have her, forrester, and our families will finally be safe from that maniac, sheila carter, forever.

Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is it– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: That smug bitch. Sheila nine toes living in my housem drinking my coffee.

Ridge: Why? Why are you here?

Bill: I missed you. And chen.

Ridge: You’re supposed to be in there getting information from sheila.

Bill: Ah. Thanks for reminding me. There is another reason I’m here. I finally figured out how to get sheila to confess to multiple murders. I’m gonna propose. I’m gonna ask sheila to marry me.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Lucy! Wow, dad! This is– this is an incredible surprise.

Stephen: Lucy and I were passing through on our way up north and we thought we would catch up. So much has happened since we were here last.

Lucy: Steven told me what thomas did using a voice app to make it look like you– you called cps on him?

Brooke: Yeah.

Stephen: I can’t believe ridge’s own son would sabotage his father’s marriage.

Brooke: He wanted me out of the way.

Stephen: Well, it worked, didn’t it? Ridge left you and went back to taylor.

Brooke: And they’d still be married now if it hadn’t been for steffy. She really stepped up and called her brother out.

Steffy: Yeah, I found it. I’ll get– I’ll go over the fine print and I’ll get back to you, carter, okay? Yeah, thanks.

Hope: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Hope: Um… sorry I had to run the other day, but I… I just really wanted to continue our conversation about your concerns with me and thomas. And I just want to assure you that I–

Steffy: I understand. I know what you’re about to say. But I have to tell you, I was talking to paris the other day and she reminded me about what you said not too long ago. That you were attracted to my brother.

Hope: I never said I was attracted to thomas.

Steffy: You did say my brother was hot.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. That was a comment in passing. Paris– [ Laughs ] She wouldn’t let it go. We needed to get back to work. Okay. I just don’t understand why you’re bringing that up.

Steffy: Because it is my job to know. So, are you attracted to my brother? Do you think he’s hot?

Lucy: Taylor knew and still went through with the wedding?

Brooke: She was completely swept up in the moment. And she only found out the truth right before the ceremony. She was going to tell ridge after. So, I don’t blame her. The dynamics between the three of us were completely different back then.

Stephen: What I don’t understand is how it even got that far. Why didn’t ridge tell you why he was upset? Why didn’t he fight for your marriage?

Ridge: All right, chen, it’s over. We gotta pull him out. He’s lost his marbles. You’re gonna propose to sheila?

Bill: I am. I have no intention of actually marrying that nightmare. The only reason I’m proposing to the bride of frankenstein is to get her out of my life, not keep her more entrenched.

Ridge: And you really think that sheila’s gonna buy a proposal from you?

Bill: I’m the reason that sheila’s out of prison and the only thing keeping her from going back in. She wants a permanent protector. Sheila loves me in her own warped way. Well, I can get her to confess her crimes and therefore, protect our families by showing her my total commitment. What says forever more than a marriage proposal? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. With the freestyle libre 2 system,

Stephen: I think it’s wonderful that you and taylor chose yourselves over ridge. It’s not easy to break free of old patterns.

Brooke: We realized we have a lot more in common than just ridge. And we have a lot of fun together.

Lucy: It’s a new dawn.

Brooke: Yes, it is. And I am enjoying it.

Stephen: I wonder how ridge feels about all this.

Ridge: So you’re gonna ask sheila to marry you?

Bill: Half the battle with sheila is telling her what she desperately wants to hear or believe about herself. Which is that she is worthy of love, even though she is a murdering psycho.

Ridge: Mm-hmm, and you have convinced her that. You’re a better man than me.

Bill: Don’t be hard on yourself, you know, we all have our gifts. Yours is sewing and mine is clearly being sort of a, you know, undercover james bond.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. Way undercover. Anyway, listen, all the– all the accolades you have, you’ve deserved, so good.

Bill: The truth is that I am really run out of my patience and every time that– that that thing touches me, I want to be disinfected by a hazmat crew.

Ridge: Yeesh.

Bill: Sheila needs to go back to prison where she belongs. Families and all of our loved ones can be safe and not have to look over their shoulders anymore.

Ridge: You’re doing a good thing.

Bill: It’s the only thing.

Ridge: All right. Let’s get it done because I would like to get back to my life such as it is.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: So when are you proposing?

Bill: Today. I’m gonna get the ring on my way home. I’m gonna slip it on her finger and that will open the door to her deepest, darkest secrets. I’ll get a confession one way or another. And then we’ll trade that ring for a pair of bracelets. Wish me luck.

Ridge: You know what? Sheila spencer has a really nice sound to it.

Bill: Comedy is also not your gift. Sewing. Stick to sewing.

Ridge: I wasn’t kidding, chen.

Hope: I am confused. Steffi, why are you asking if I think thomas is hot?

Steffy: I’m trying to save hope for the future and it is my job to make sure that happens. You and thomas are gonna be working very closely together and it’s gonna be intense. You’re gonna be bouncing ideas off of each other, inspiring each other, being swept up in the moment.

Hope: Are you asking this for me or for thomas?

Steffy: I already talked to thomas about it.

Hope: What, seriously?

Steffy: I just want to make sure that there was no issue. He assured me there isn’T. My brother is making significant changes in his life and I know he’s not obsessed with you anymore.

Hope: Okay, good. I’m– I’m thrilled for him, but steffy, I’m– I’m married and I am fully committed to liam.

Steffy: I get that. I’m not questioning that.

Hope: Okay. So then where is this coming from?

Steffy: I just want you to be honest and realistic with yourself and your attraction to thomas.

Bill: You’re what I need. I love you, sheila.

[ Indistinct radio chatter ]

Ridge: Well, this could get real interesting real fast.

Chen: We’re set up for all of it.

Bill: Hey!

Sheila: Hey! There he is.

Bill: Did you miss me?

Sheila: Always.

[ Laughs ] Where’d you disappear to?

Bill: Well, just because I’ve shared all of me with you doesn’t mean I don’t still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

Sheila: [ Laughs ] Oh. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Stephen: You and taylor being friends is a– a twist no one could see coming. I bet you ridge is the most surprised of all. Especially since the two of you sent him packing.

Brooke: I wouldn’t call it that. Taylor and I both have children with ridge. So he’s going to be in our lives forever.

Stephen: There’s so much going on. Some good, some… horrifying like sheila carter still being on the loose thanks to bill spencer? And, where’s ridge? Off somewhere licking his wounds instead of being here to protect his family.

Brooke: In all fairness, I’m the one who told ridge to go away and figure out what he wants out of us.

Stephen: And he doesn’t know how to cut a trip short? I’m gonna give him a call. Give him a piece of my mind.

Brooke: Oh, dad! Come on. That’s not necessary.

[ Phone ringing ]

Bill: Could I make myself any clearer?

Ridge: It’s my ex father-in-law. Steve, hey, what’s up?

Stephen: I’m here in L.A. With brooke and you’re nowhere to be seen. Leaving your family alone at a time like this.

Ridge: All right. You– you gotta forgive me. I don’t mean to be rude, but I got a lot on my plate, so this is not a good time.

Stephen: You do remember that sheila carter is a dangerous woman, don’t you?

Ridge: I’m well aware of the sheila carter situation. Yes.

Stephen: Well, that’s not gonna help, is it? If she corners somebody else in an alley at gunpoint.

Ridge: Stephen, this is not a brush off but I gotta go.

Stephen: My daughter deserves better from you.

Ridge: I will do everything in my power to keep the people I love safe. All right? I gotta go. What did bill say?

Bill: Do you know what a difference you have made in my life? Hey, I used to dread walking through that door into this big empty house. Nobody here to greet me with a– with a smile, with a– with a touch. Nobody to welcome me home.

[ Sheila laughs ] But now you’re here for me and only me. You said that I gave you a second chance.

Sheila: You did.

Bill: Well, you’ve done the same for me. My beautiful, incomparable sheila. I love you. Remember that night that we met on the beach and how– how quickly and– and intensely we connected?

Sheila: Yeah. I’ll– I’ll never forget.

Bill: Well, I’ve been proving myself to you ever since. I told you I wouldn’t let you go back to prison and you haven’T. I moved you into my home. I distanced myself from my loved ones, from my family. I stood by you. I defended you.

Sheila: You put everything on the line for me and I am– I– I– I get choked up when I think about it, but…

Bill: What? You can tell me.

Sheila: Okay, well, I’ve– you tell me you love me.

Bill: Yeah.

Sheila: And that you opened up to me. But I’ve got to be honest, there are times that I really– I just don’t know what you’re thinking.

[ Bill laughs ]

Bill: Well, I feel the same way about you. And– and you’re right. I mean, yeah, you know, you’re right. I can, at times, I can be a bit withdrawn. That’s just my nature. Come on now. I mean, I have been incredibly open with you. And I want you to be the same with me. But I know you’re not there yet. You still– you– you hold things very close to the vest. Dark things that frighten you and that– that shame you. I don’t want there to be any barriers between us. I want you to be able to talk to me about anything and know that I’m not going to judge you. You can express whatever it might be about your past and I will never leave you. My commitment is 100% and I want you to know that.

Sheila: I do.

Bill: Wow. Those are just words though, aren’t they? I think you need actions to unlock that box that you have kept hidden away for so long. You know what? I think I have the key.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Bill: I mean that I’m going to show you that you can believe in me. And you can believe in our life together. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Hope: Okay. I don’t– I don’t know what you want me to say here. Uh– okay fine. Is thomas attractive? Yes. Sure. And I bet plenty of other women in this office would agree. But I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that you aren’t questioning them.

Steffy: They don’t share a child with thomas or have a complicated history.

Hope: All right, but my feelings for your brother are not complicated. They are very straightforward, which is that I needed him to help save my line. So I agreed to work with him and that is as far as it goes. Does that answer your question?

Steffy: Look, I’m just looking out for you and thomas.

Hope: And I appreciate that, but I am telling you there is no reason to be concerned.

Stephen: Ridge practically hung up in my face. What the hell is wrong with him?

Lucy: What did he say when you mentioned how dangerous sheila is?

Stephen: He’s fully aware of the situation. Whatever that means. Where is he exactly?

Brooke: He is taking some much needed time away. And I encouraged him to do so, dad. He did say he’s doing something very important, not only for him but for the entire family.

Stephen: And what does that mean?

Brooke: I’m not sure. But I do know that he loves us very much and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for our family.

Bill: I’d given up on ever finding–

Chen: I love a good proposal. Think she’ll cry?

Ridge: Bill might. Come on, spencer. Pop the question. We’re all waiting on you.

Bill: Well, I vowed no more. Dollar bill spencer was giving up on love. And then you came along. I went to the beach that night feeling pathetically sorry for myself. So down and so depressed. And then I left feeling like the luckiest man on the planet. I mean, who could have ever predicted that?

Sheila: I have a new life. I– I have the life of freedom because you put everything on the line for me.

Bill: And I would do it all again because you’re worth it. We’re worth it. People say there’s no future for us. Well, I don’t think they know what the hell they’re talking about because I see our future, and I know exactly where you belong.

Ridge: Can you please stop messing around and take the ring out and put it on her finger? What is he doing?

Sheila: Where do I belong, bill?

Bill: Right here. In this house by my side. Forever.

Sheila: Forever?

Bill: Forever. You’ve changed my life in so many ways and I want to do the same for you. Permanently.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: What are you saying?

Bill: Well, this pales in comparison to your beauty, but it was the best I could do. Please take this ring and wear it as a token of my unabiding love for you.

Sheila: Oh, my god, it’s– it’s gorgeous. I’ve– I’ve never seen anything like it.

Bill: Well, I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve. Now, please make me happier than I have ever been and say that you will be mrs. Bill spencer. That you will be mine completely. No more secrets. No more walls. We can be… as one.

[ Sheila laughs ] Say you’ll marry me. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Thomas, this dress was beautiful on paper, but this? This is flawless. How– how did you get it done so fast?

Thomas: Long hours and a lot of motivation.

Petra: I’m gonna miss all of our fittings. Any chance you’re free for a drink later?

Thomas: Uh, I– I actually think I’ll be working late, but maybe rain check?

Petra: Anytime.

Thomas: Okay, well can you tell martin no changes? Thanks.

Steffy: I see you’re interested in someone that’s not hope.

Thomas: Uh, yeah, she’s amazing, but I’m more focused on being the best designer and brother and person that I can.

Steffy: I’m really proud of you.

Thomas: I hope– I hope dad feels the same way. Have you talked to him about bringing me back to the company.

Steffy: I wasn’t sure you were gonna come back to the company until I heard from hope.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, well, I mean, we’re all moving forward, right?

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: I think that’s– that’s a great thing. There’s no way that he would be upset about that.

Steffy: Honestly, I’m um– I’m beginning to wonder how involved dad wants to be. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Ridge: Can you please get back to your house and get sheila to talk some more?

Bill: She can stew. I’m on a donut break.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were complaining about how long this was taking.

Bill: You know what? All you have to do is watch tv like it’s some kind of twisted reality show. I am living with that nut in my home, pretending to be the lovesick boyfriend, alienating my family, all so I can keep them safe.

Ridge: At least you get to see your family. I’m stuck in here with chen! No offense.

Chen: I’m sitting here, guys, and thanks to both of you, there’s a very good chance this murderer might finally be put away.

Bill: And then our families will finally be safe, once and for all, from sheila carter.

[ Phone buzzing ]

Sheila: Deacon, you can’t just hang up on me like that.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I had to, all right? Can you come over?

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Come over to the apartment, sheila, please. I need to see you. It’s urgent.

Bill: There’s no way sheila can figure out that her phone is bugged, right?

Chen: No.

Bill: Why does deacon want her to come over? All that stuff she was saying about me being on to them. I don’t like it. We can’t have any mistakes. I have worked too hard and sacrificed too damn much for this thing to fall apart now.

Thomas: So, dad’s been out of touch?

Steffy: He checks in, but you’re right. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Thomas: You’re starting to worry.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Um, I just saw petra in the new design. I mean, thomas, it is gorgeous.

Thomas: I’ve been feeling incredibly inspired lately and I think we’re gonna take hope for the future to new heights.

Hope: Well, I like the sound of that.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Sheila: We– we shouldn’t even be talking right now.

Deacon: Which should tell you how important this is.

Sheila: You miss me. I get it.

Deacon: Sheila, this isn’t some booty call, all right? When I say it’s urgent, it’s urgent.

Sheila: I just need to be home before bill gets back.

Deacon: Just get over here as soon as possible.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve had it with sheila. It makes me want to literally vomit in my mouth sharing my bed with her. Seeing her nine grimy toes walking around my house. I gotta do something more drastic.

Chen: We need to stick to the plan, maintain her trust. Get sheila’s confession.

Ridge: Mm-hm. And when we do, she’ll be out of our lives forever.

Crack the science

of stronger hair

Steffy: Hope and I wouldn’t have had you come back to the company if we didn’t think that you’d changed.

Thomas: Oh, this is just the beginning, you know? I am planning on improving every part of my life and that also means doing the best designs I have ever made for you, hope.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Just give me a second.

Hope: Hey, is uh, is this one new?

Thomas: Yeah, actually I just finished that one last night. What do you think?

Hope: I mean, I really like it. What do you think about maybe dropping the neckline a little bit?

Thomas: I like that. We can also– we can bring the embroidery around from the bodice.

Hope: Mm, it’s dramatic, but that is what makes your design so compelling, thomas. The element of surprise.

Thomas: Mm. I like dramatic.

[ Both chuckling ] Um…

Hope: It’s uh… it’s good to have you back, thomas.

Thomas: Thank you. That means a lot. It’s not gonna be a problem?

Hope: No, no. I… think we’re gonna create a lot of buzz together.

Thomas: I love that. Buzz.

Hope: Um, so you know how we were talking about either doing a theme or structural design? I feel like this one’s still a little bit structural.

Steffy: Hope thinks you’re hot.

Thomas: I’m not lying to you.

Steffy: So, you’re telling me hope just walked in on you in your underwear. You know, we have a locker room, by the way?

Thomas: You know what? Forget I said anything.

Hope: Stoning instead of embroidery?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: I like that. It definitely plays into the fantasy element.

Thomas: Okay, we could do that.

Hope: So, we do it…

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sheila: Hey. I can’t stay. I’ve got to get back to the house before bill gets home. I don’t want him to ask me all kinds of questions about where I’ve been. Well, why am I here?

Deacon: Sheila, we gotta talk.

Sheila: Hello, that’s why I am here. What’s going on?

Chen: Copy that. Hold position. Agent murphy confirms sheila did go over to deacon sharpe’s apartment. I’ll get another update once the target leaves.

Bill: Maybe I should’ve left her in jail when the cops took her out of my house, ended it there.

Ridge: It wouldn’t– no. It wouldn’t have been the end of it. She would’ve found a way to get out.

Chen: We kept her in L.A. Under surveillance.

Ridge: You know, what she did to steffy and finn was despicable, but not her worst crimes, right?

Bill: She has to go away for first degree murder.

Chen: As the two of you, along with chief baker, knows, she’s a person of interest in at least a couple of unsolved homicides.

Ridge: Yup. Killing lance, dr. Garvin, it should be enough to put her away for life, no parole.

Bill: Maximum security prison.

Chen: She trusts you, bill. Thanks to your act with the judge, she believes you control her freedom. It was a good call bringing him in on this.

Bill: Steffy bought that hook, link and sinker. She believes I bought off mcmullen.

Ridge: She does. I wish we could bring her in on this, bill.

Chen: But you’re all committed to keeping this operation secret.

Ridge: Yeah.

Bill: It’s the only way it’ll work. Everyone has to buy in so sheila buys in. If she gets one inkling it’s a setup, she’s gone.

Ridge: She’s gotta crack.

Bill: She needs to crack because everyday she doesn’t is another day I’ve gotta lie to my family.

Ridge: You’re protecting them.

Bill: It doesn’t make the lies any easier, ridge, especially the biggest one. Makes me sick every time I have to say it. I’m in love with… with sheila carter.

[ Bill sighing ] Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Hope: This lace is gorgeous.

Thomas: Yeah, we do wanna keep it subtle though, right? So maybe use it to accent the bodice?

Hope: I like it. Some added texture.

Thomas: Great.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh. I almost forgot. They need me in the sewing room. Uh, we’re good here, right?

Steffy: Yes, yeah. We’ll catch up later.

Thomas: Okay, cool.

Hope: Oh, thomas. Don’t forget your sketch.

Thomas: Uh, keep it. We’ll talk about it when I get back.

Hope: What? I– I trust your brother’s instincts.

Steffy: Yeah. You’re giving him a lot of encouragement.

Hope: Is there something wrong with that?

Steffy: I just thought you might be a little more reserved.

Hope: I mean, well, it surprised me too how easily we were able to fall back in step with one another.

Steffy: In a purely professional sense, right?

Hope: How else would I mean it, steffy?

Deacon: Don’t act like you’re the only one taking risks here.

Sheila: You asked to see me. Why?

Deacon: I put a lot on the line for you.

Sheila: And I am greatly appreciative of all that.

Deacon: And you know how I feel about you.

Sheila: Yeah, because you show me every time we’re together. But we don’t have time for any of that today, deacon.

Deacon: We don’t have time for anything. Not today… or ever again.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Sheila, hope stopped by the restaurant when you and I were on the phone call. She’s proud of me. She’s finally proud of what I’m doing with my life.

Sheila: So you– you’re worried she’s gonna find out about us. Oh.

Chen: I’m gonna check in on the other team.

Ridge: You know where I’ll be. You knew this was gonna be a challenge.

Bill: We are– we are way past challenge, ridge. This is nightmare territory. Every day, I have to wake up next to that– that creature. Never let my guard down.

Ridge: None of us can let our guard down. But steffy and her family are being left alone and that’s because of you.

Bill: I think that’s maybe a veiled thank you.

Ridge: I think you’re reading into stuff. There’ll be plenty of people thanking you when sheila’s gone.

Bill: Well, right now, they all think I’m nuts.

Ridge: Falling in love with sheila, that’s a nutty thing to do.

Bill: And that’s why I have to work so hard to convince everyone. Keep them away, make them hate me. Burn every bridge to keep them safe from that monster.

Ridge: Temporary.

Bill: It’s time I’ll never get back.

Ridge: Yeah, I know. But the time you will have with your kids, your grandkids, it’ll be spent without fear.

Bill: That’s the plan.

Ridge: And you, sir, are executing it very well.

Bill: You know what, ridge? I don’t need any pats on the head, I don’t need any

[Indistinct], All right? This isn’t a review of some kind of broadway performance, all right? This– this is real life. The fact that this is life and death and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Ridge: You don’t think I know that? The fbi is on our side.

Bill: I need to make sheila think I’m on her side. Us against the world. Us against my family. I have to stay focused on the end game. That’s the only way I can get through this.

Ridge: All right, good. Then do that. Focus and get the information that we need.

Hope: Do you think I’m being unprofessional?

Steffy: No, no. I… okay, I’m going to be honest. Are you gonna be able to work with my brother?

Hope: Um, we already are and very well. I mean, you can see that.

Steffy: Yeah, I don’t wanna make something out of nothing, but…

Hope: Okay, steffy. I’m not sure what you’re talking about because you’re the one that insisted that I take thomas back as my lead designer.

Steffy: Absolutely. I’m glad I did that. Hope for the future is gonna be amazing, but should I be concerned about how this is gonna affect you personally?

Hope: Oh. Steffy, I already talked to liam about this.

Steffy: Liam is your business. You and thomas are mine.

Hope: Okay, and we’re getting along great.

Steffy: I’m just wondering how this is all gonna play out, given liam’s feelings for my brother and yours.

Hope: Mine? Steffy, what are you insinuating?

Deacon: If hope finds out about us, she’d never trust me again. If she even sees that you’re on my phone–

Sheila: Wait a minute. Wait.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: I’m on your phone?

Deacon: Come on, sheila. You know what I’m talking about. You gotta be going through the same thing with spencer. Keeping secrets, sneaking around.

Sheila: No, it’s really not the same.

Deacon: Hope just showed up downstairs earlier. If she just drops by here and sees the two of us together, she’s the only good thing that I’ve ever done in my life. The only pure thing, out of all my poor judgement, all my– my horrendous decision making and impulses. She’s my daughter, sheila. I love her. I can’t lose her. You’ve gotta understand that more than anyone.

Sheila: Yeah, of course I do.

Deacon: Do you?

Sheila: Yeah. That’s why we just have to make sure that we’re just that much more careful.

Deacon: You’re not hearing me. We can’t see each other anymore.

Sheila: You know what? Don’t lie to yourself.

Deacon: Sheila, this has to end!

Sheila: You… you can’t stop seeing me, can you?

Deacon: No. No, I can’T.

Bill: I’m telling you, this whole thing with sheila and sharpe, it could be a problem. I don’t like it.

Ridge: I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem. You’re her number one guy. You could give her things that deacon can’T.

Bill: Well, she’s right about that. I mean, all sharpe can do is make her pizza and license plates.

[ Ridge chuckling ] I’m her protector. I’m her defender. When my kids are telling me to come to my senses. When steffy is telling me that I have to protect her and my granddaughter. When katie is telling me that she’s gonna take will away from me. I have to stand there like a freaking mummy. I can’t say a word. And sheila, sheila tells everybody to get lost. Do you know how intensely frustrating that is?

Ridge: It’s necessary.

Bill: Well, it better pay off.

Ridge: It will pay off. You think you have problems? It pains me to say this because I don’t wanna like you, but this is working because of you. We’re gonna put sheila away because of you, when you get her confession.

Bill: If, ridge. If I get her confession. This was supposed to be a slam dunk. She’s so grateful to me, I just say a few kind words, I tell her I understand her and that’s it, but– but no. No, we’ve had to go way past that. I’ve had to play things I can’t even imagine. And then this catatonic stoicism due to deeply painful emotions. I had to reach for things in my life that I put away a long time ago. How long? How long do I have to play this broken, lost man who’s only found love in the arms of sheila carter? Sheila carter!

Ridge: How long? You know how long! As long as it takes to get the truth. So whatever you have to do, I’m sorry. If you have to go to your past and open up wounds, I’m sorry! We need her confession!

[ Machine beeping ]

Ridge: How are you holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.

Ridge: You have to hang in there a little longer.

Bill: That’s easy for you to say, forrester. This little sting operation was supposed to last for a week.

Ridge: You said you wanted this done the right way.

Bill: Don’t tell me what I said! Fine, that’s what I said, but this has gone on for months. Months of that vile creature living in my home, sleeping in my– sleeping in my bed.

Ridge: And why is that? This is your idea. This phony love affair and she’s buying into it. Good.

Bill: Yeah, my love for her freedom. Makes me wanna puke. I hate that woman. With a passion!

Ridge: And you’re alone on this? How do you think I feel? Tried to kill my daughter, tried to kill finn, but this– we’re almost there. It’s gonna be the end of it. We’re gonna put her away. Our family’s gonna be safe.

Bill: Who’s she talking to?

Chen: Deacon sharpe. My team’s monitoring the call.

Ridge: What’s she saying?

Sheila: He’s– he’s acting

so strange. Could he suspect something?

Deacon: About us?

Sheila: God, I hope not. How could he? We’ve been so careful. I’ve only seen you a few times.

But I’m worried, deacon.

Bill can never be on to us.

Bill: We’re on to you, all right.

Ridge: Do you see what that is? That is a woman who’s starting to lose it. We’re gonna have her exactly where we want her.

Sheila: We’ve got to play it safe, deacon. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Deacon: Look, I know you’re stressed out about this, but you’ve got to– sheila, I’ve got to go. Keep it together and stay strong and keep us out of trouble. Hey, honey. How are you?

Hope: Hi. Uh, good. How are you? Is everything all right?

Bill: I love watching sheila pace around like a caged animal.

Ridge: It is satisfying. Maybe not for you, seeing your girlfriend flirt with someone else, but for us.

Bill: Well, I think I’m gonna be able to get over that. Are you kidding me? That pizza boy convict is doing me a favor. Less time I have to spend around that vile woman, the better. Plus, it’s given me an opportunity to plant some seeds in her brain. Make her squirm.

Ridge: Well, maybe you can find a way to make her squirm enough to give up some information. What do you think?

Bill: She was very close.

Ridge: Really close.

Bill: She was about to confess her deepest, darkest secrets until the lights flickered and she clammed up!

Chen: Technical glitch with one of the bugging devices. It shouldn’t happen again.

Bill: It better not happen again!

Ridge: How is this helping anybody? She trusts you. We’ll get her to that place again.

Bill: I don’t think I fully appreciated the lengths I would have to go to when I involved the fbi. And it better not all be for nothing.

Ridge: She’s– she’s gonna pay for what she’s done. To my family, to your family. Can we just take a moment? Can I– can I ask you something? And look, I didn’t think you had it in you that you could make anybody love you. You– you’ve done it. Tears rolling down your face, it was– it was beautiful.

Bill: Yeah, save it, samurai sam.

Ridge: Whatever you did wasn’t enough. You gotta keep going. You gotta keep pushing her. We need a confession.

Bill: I have given it everything I’ve got. Man, I can’t believe she hasn’t caved yet. How– what’s keeping her from just confessing?

Ridge: She will. And when she does, we got her. Not for attempted murder on my daughter, but for actually killing somebody. Murder one.

Bill: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Murder one. She found it.

Deacon: I’m just not sure how I feel about you and thomas working together again.

Hope: Dad, he has to respect the boundaries I put in place, otherwise he’s gone.

Deacon: Well, your husband isn’t quite sure he’s gonna be able to hold up his end of the bargain.

Hope: Liam and I have had this discussion and I– I thought we were on the same page, that we don’t want this to affect our marriage.

Deacon: That’s easier said than done.

Hope: Look, I get why liam would be upset about this, especially since I initially told him that I wasn’t going to bring thomas back on board, but I am allowed to change my mind.

Deacon: It’s a woman’s prerogative. Hey, focus on the positive. You got douglas coming home and that is great news.

Hope: Yeah, it’s wonderful.

Deacon: Hope, take care of that little family of yours.

Hope: I will, but dad, I really do feel like everything is gonna be okay. It is actually you that I’m a little worried about because it’s very rare that I see you stressed out and you got off that phone pretty quickly, so… what’s really going on?

Bill: After I rescued finn from that apartment and got him back to steffy, I– I couldn’t stand by knowing that sheila had escaped. I knew everyone would be in danger. That– that whole bear mauling bs. I didn’t buy your missing toe story for a second. Ugh. It– it is actual torture having to look at that woman on camera and off.

Ridge: Well, it isn’t a picnic for us either, watching her 24/7.

Bill: Watching me 24/7.

Ridge: Or watching you 24/7, right. Although this morning, I gotta say, bill, your pajamas, they were form fitting but still classy. Nice job. Nice color.

Bill: Well, coming from the dress maker fashionista, I suppose I should be flattered. God, there are no cameras in my bedroom. There are no cameras in my bedroom, right?

Ridge: No, there aren’T. And you know why? Because no one could ever unsee that.

Bill: Well, you’re right about that. But seriously, this whole setup, the cameras, the mics, it makes me feel like I’m living in– in a freaking fish bowl.

Ridge: Well, it’s to keep you safe. To keep everyone safe.

Chen: We’ve been maintaining close tabs on sheila to make sure she doesn’t hurt anyone. Especially when she leaves your house.

Bill: Practically had her. I mean, she was just about to confess all her sins. Killing that– that lance day with the bees. I mean, who– who does that? Pushing that dr. Garvin to his death, shooting steffy and finn and who knows what else? She said she has done things that are absolutely unimaginable. Why couldn’t she just spit it all out already?

Ridge: This is really taking a toll on you.

Bill: You have no idea, forrester. I– I have had to go so deep into this thing that there are times when I– I actually believe what I’m saying. I mean my sons, brooke, katie, they actually think that I’ve lost my mind! That I’ve gone to the dark side and fallen for sheila carter. If they only knew the truth.

Ridge: Well, they will know the truth and when they do, you’ll be a hero.

Bill: I don’t give a damn about any of that. I just want everybody to be safe. I just hope they will understand and forgive me.

Ridge: Of course they’re gonna forgive you. They’re gonna throw you a party. You know why? Because they’re gonna realize that the police weren’t gonna hold sheila. They couldn’T. Attempted murder? She’s not gonna be in there forever. That’s why we need that confession. So she goes away for good and brooke, taylor, our kids, our grandkids, everyone’s gonna be safe.

Bill: I’m trying, ridge.

Ridge: Well, you’re not trying hard enough. As long as she’s out there, no one is safe. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Customer: Thank you.

[ Hope clearing her throat ]

Hope: Something’s up with you.

Deacon: I– okay, I’m a little stressed. I mean, I’m trying to make a success of this place. I’ve got investors on my back, but you know what? These are high end problems. I’m good.

Hope: You sure?

Deacon: Yes, absolutely.

Hope: Okay because I could help out. I could roll up my sleeves, wash some dishes. I make a mean margarita. I could even mop the floor.

Deacon: Are you implying that my floors are dirty?

Hope: I would never. I know I could eat a pizza of that floor. I am just saying I don’t like seeing you stressed out. I mean, this is supposed to be fun. Are you having fun?

Deacon: I am, I am. I– I do, yes. I’m good.

Hope: Okay. It’s the same way you worry about me, I get to worry about you.

Deacon: I know. Listen. I got everything under control. I’m not gonna do anything to ruin this life that I’m building.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I love you, sheila.

Sheila: You love me?

That’s all I ever dreamed of.

That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Is to be loved. Oh.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve done my damnedest to get to sheila, but she’s holding out on me.

Ridge: She’s loosening up. You’re saying all the right things, you just gotta step it up a bit.

Bill: I gotta what? I gotta step it up a bit? Well, easy for you to say, forrester, as you sit in here day after day, eating hot dogs and donuts. Let’s not forget who’s doing the heavy lifting. You have– you have no idea what it’s like. Can you even imagine being intimate with a murderous, vile woman like sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, I– I’d rather not imagine any of that.

Bill: No, no, no. I want you too, all right? I really want you to kind of– to live in that for a minute. Imagine what that’s like.

Ridge: All right. Couple of things. Number one: Don’t touch a grown man’s chair. Number two: You know I don’t like you. I never will, but I respect you because I could never do what you’re doing. Not with someone as dangerous as that. I couldn’T.

Bill: Yeah, you know what I have to do? I have to sleep with one eye open.

Ridge: I want this to be over. All I’m doing is sitting here and growing hair. My kids think I’m in europe. I’m only just a couple miles away from them, trying to keep them safe. That’s all I’m doing.

Bill: You’ve done a lot. Not to the level of me, but you’ve done a lot.

Ridge: It’s never to your level, I know that.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: But you know what? I’m doing what I can. He’s doing what he can. You do what you can and in the end, sheila’s gonna be gone for good. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Ridge: I thought you were nuts when you came up with this crazy scheme.

Bill: Every attempt in the past to keep sheila locked up failed. We gotta come up with proof. Iron clad proof that she is responsible for several murders and attempted murders.

Ridge: And you’re right, if you can get her to admit it on camera, then we got it.

Bill: If I can get her to say the words.

Ridge: If anyone can get her to say the words, it’s you. You figure out a way to give her something that she’s always wanted. Love.

Bill: I actually duped her into thinking that she’s finally got that from me.

Ridge: Took one for the team.

Bill: I didn’t think it through. How to maintain my dignity in the process.

Ridge: I’m– bill spencer and dignity in the same sentence, that’s a tough one for me.

Bill: Listen. I– I mean it, ridge. It is really hard to keep up this façade, you know? I– I am looking pure evil in the eye night after night, whispering sweet nothings in its ear, pretending that I accept sheila for who and what she is.

Ridge: So, you know what we should do? We’ll cut together a tape and send it to the academy because I think best actor. It’s– you know.

Bill: Get my speech ready.

Ridge: You did it. You reeled her in like a pro.

Bill: Yeah. It all began that night when I lured her to the beach. I knew sheila had been watching me at il giardino. I sent enough signals to grab her attention. So she would follow me to the beach. I was playing the part of the lonely, heartbroken, misunderstood man. Sheila bought it. Hook, line and sinker. When she hesitantly walked toward me, I acted surprised to see her. I didn’t lash out, which obviously shocked her. I pretended to open my heart and soul up to her. We sat there together for hours, talking through the night. I worked my magic to get her to trust me, using all of sheila’s vulnerabilities and insecurities against her. Not to mention, the promise of freedom. Something I ultimately said I would give her. It was risky. Sheila could’ve gotten suspicious. It was also risky to tell her that taylor shot me, but she had to be in on it for the blackmail scheme to work. That’s why I went to the feds and made sure that they were to exonerate taylor of any charges.

Ridge: I don’t like that she had to be involved at all. I don’t like what it did to steffy or to finn.

Bill: Everyone’s had to suffer as a means to an end.

Ridge: Yeah, all of us. I don’t like being away from my family.

Bill: Yeah. At least they don’t hate you. I’ve had to push my family away.

Ridge: Well, they’re not gonna hate you once they figure out what you did with sheila.

Bill: Part of me’s a little offended. I mean, I know I put on the performance of a lifetime, but come on. They all actually believe that I have fallen for sheila carter? Ugh.

Ridge: To be fair, you guys make a very, very handsome couple.

Bill: I know you’re trying to keep things light, forrester, I’m gonna be real with you. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Ridge: I know. And I don’t blame you at all. But bill, we’re this close. We’re this close to doing what the police couldn’t do, put sheila away forever. Don’t quit. Not now.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: It was so good having the morning together.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Just you and me.

Steffy: Yeah. Mm, but you have to go?

Finn: Yeah. I need to get to the hospital.

Steffy: Well, don’t let me stop you.

Finn: You’re not gonna make this easy on me, are you?

Steffy: No, me? Not really.

Finn: Pick this up later.

Steffy: We better.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Steffy: But you’re right, I do have to get ready and start going.

Finn: Mm.

Steffy: Whew.

Finn: Yeah, you got a big day, right? The new forrester dream team is back.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m still– I’m getting used to hope and thomas working together.

Finn: Yeah, not just for you. Oh, I bet, you know? Liam, too.

Steffy: Wonder how liam took the news.

Deacon: Are you telling me that after– after everything thomas has done to hope and to your family, what? That she just changes her mind? Gives him another chance?

Liam: Deacon, I try– I tried to get through to her. I brought up all the heinous stuff thomas has done, it didn’t matter. She’s– she thinks he’s a changed man.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is the one thing he’s incapable of.

Deacon: Well, I– listen, speaking from experience, hope does try to find the good in everyone.

Liam & wyatt: We know.

Liam: It’s just, we just don’t need this right now, right? Like, we– like, we’ve got enough on our plate with our dad.

Wyatt: Yeah, but you– you focus on hope and the kids, all right? I will worry about dad and his newfound relationship with sheila.

Sheila: I– I just– I can’t believe that this is real. You saved me. You opened up your heart. After everything that I did, you are my hero, bill.

Bill: We’re two of a kind. Never forget that. I know I may seem a bit withdrawn, at times, but that’s just me. Make no mistake, this is the best thing that ever happened to me. I need this. And I’m here for whatever you need. Even if it’s just an ear. You can talk to me. I’ll never judge you.

Finn: Look, I get your concerns with liam and thomas.

Steffy: Yeah, but okay, part of me just, like part of me feels a little bit worried about hope. I was talking to paris yesterday, and paris is really excited that thomas is back on as lead designer of hope for the future, but she also asked me if hope had issues with it.

Finn: I mean, we all wondered that.

Steffy: Yeah, but this is different. Hope admitted to paris not too long ago that she thought thomas was hot. And I completely forgot about that.

Finn: That was innocent though, right?

Steffy: As co-ceo, I just– I need to make sure. I mean, I’m really happy that things are working out for thomas. You know, I’m the one who encouraged hope and thomas to collaborate again. This isn’t something I– I can just ignore. Like, on some level, hope is attracted to thomas.

Finn: And you think that could be trouble for hope and liam?

Liam: As difficult as it is, hope asked me to trust her. And the truth is, she needs my love and support right now.

Deacon: Even though you’re completely opposed to my daughter working with thomas.

Liam: Well, the last time this happened, the more I fought it the more I just pushed hope away. And I– and I’m damn sure not gonna let thomas come between us. And besides, hope said that– that if he starts up with any of his old tricks, she’d cut him right off.

Wyatt: That doesn’t keep you from stressing about it.

Liam: Of course not.

Wyatt: Well, hope saying that she’s taking a chance on thomas is like dad telling us over and over again, “oh, sheila can be trusted. I can handle it. Don’t worry.”

Liam: But it’s not like that, ’cause here’s the difference. With hope, she really does naturally see the good in everyone. Even to her own detriment. Dad, I– like, he’s mr. Never trust anyone, so something is obviously off there.

Sheila: You know, everyone in this town, they think that I’m a maniac. That I have no regrets or– or remorse for what I’ve done.

Bill: That’s because they don’t know you like I do. You’re ashamed of your past, I’m ashamed of mine.

Sheila: Yeah, I’d just like to bury it.

Bill: Uh-uh. No. We can’T. The only way to truly deal with it is by being open. That’s the gift you’ve given me. I didn’t have that with katie and brooke. They didn’t understand the darkness that lives inside of me, but you do. And I understand yours as well. I’ve done bad things too, sheila.

Sheila: Nothing like I have.

Bill: I love you. And there’s nothing you can do or say that will change that.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Finn: So, you’re worried that hope’s attraction to thomas might turn into something deeper?

Steffy: No– I don’t know. I– I– I know that hope loves liam, and she’s committed to him–

Finn: But…

Steffy: I’m just wondering how she’s gonna be able to work with thomas. How it’s gonna affect her.

Finn: What? And you’re worried about hope? I’m conf– thomas is the one with the obsession.

Steffy: Yeah, but she knew that he was obsessed with her, and she still said that she was attracted to him.

Finn: Oh, so she can so easily say how hot she thinks your brother is that she might–

Steffy: Well, maybe there are just other things under the surface. Other feelings. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why she’s been able to forgive him.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Finn: Are you sure this is a good idea to bring thomas back?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I want hope for the future to succeed. I just wonder what this means for hope and liam.

Wyatt: I just don’t get how dad could be with a monster like sheila. Just the thought, the two of them in each other’s arms.

Liam: Trust me, I– I’m at a loss, too. I tried, I really tried to get him to help me understand–

Wyatt: What? That his new type is a nine-toed homicidal maniac?

Liam: Which is gross.

Wyatt: Yes–

Deacon: Hey, uh, guys, actually I– I’m gonna have to excuse myself. I’m expecting a call, so you’re good?

Wyatt: Oh– oh.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, of course. Uh, thank you for the meal. It was excellent.

Wyatt: The pasta was phenomenal. Thank you. Just the thought of that psycho in dad’s house sucking face.

Liam: How do you look into those eyes and go, “oh, yeah, this checks every box.”

Bill: You’ve given me the chance to be myself, free from persecution and that’s meant everything. I want the same for you. You don’t have to be afraid. I’ve told you some of the worst that I have done.

Bill: Dumping ridge from that helicopter.

Cool him off.

[ Helicopter whirring ] I wanted to kill him. Part of me still does. I’ve never said that to anyone.

Sheila: I know what you’re trying to do, bill.

Bill: Blowing up spectra fashions’ building with liam and sally inside. I could’ve killed my own son. Does that sound familiar? I– I can’t tell you how– how freeing this is. I– I’ve never felt so whole. And I want that for you.

Sheila: Bill, I–

Bill: O– o– opening up is– is hard, but I knew you could handle it. And so can I. I’ve told you the worst that I’ve done. It’s been healing for me and it will be healing for you and that’s what I want for you.

Sheila: No, I just– I want to forget it.

Bill: Forget or repress? We can’t hide the things we’ve done in the deep recesses of our guilty conscience. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: I’ve done things, bill. Things that you can’t even begin to imagine. Bye, bye cough.

Finn: Now, you’re just taking your sweet time with my shirt, huh?

[ Steffy giggling ]

Steffy: I’m much better at unbuttoning. I wish we could do this all day.

Finn: Hm, me too. You know, it’s wild how life can be so good.

Steffy: Yeah, and so chaotic and scary at the same time.

Finn: Bill and sheila are out there doing god knows what. But when I’m here with you–

Steffy: You just feel peace, right?

Finn: Exactly. We are gonna have to count on that to get us through this next chapter.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: All right? Our love, our connection.

Steffy: Mhm. No, I know, we need to lean on each other. Especially since our worst nightmare is just out there, set free. And it’s all because of bill.

Bill: Must’ve been really bizarre for you when you first moved in. We would have this incredible night of passion, and then I would be kind of quiet and withdrawn.

Sheila: It– it has been interesting.

Bill: Yeah. Well, I– I’d never been able to truly be myself with anyone before. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around that, but now I feel so free. I’ve told you my worst and you’re still here.

Sheila: Hm.

Bill: You know you can trust me, too, right?

Sheila: Of course, I do. I’m still so amazed that– that we’re still together and you transformed my life at– at your expense. I mean, everyone that is important to you.

Bill: Don’t worry about that.

Sheila: No, but I have my freedom because of you, bill.

Bill: You have your physical freedom, but you’re not emotionally free. And you won’t be as long as you carry these things around from your past. Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets, sheila. I can handle it. I know you’re no saint. Believe me, neither am I. I’ve killed people, too.

Sheila: What do you mean “too?”

Bill: I mean that you can tell me your worst and I’ll tell you mine.

Jay: Calm down now.

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No. Now, get a hold of-

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay yelling ]

[ People screaming & shouting ]

[ Bees buzzing ]

Bill: I can see that you’re still haunted by the things that you’ve done. I understand that. Unburden yourself, sheila. You can talk to me. Tell me everything.

Sheila: It’s just, it seems like–

[ Lights humming ]

Sheila: W– what– what’s going on?

Bill: Ah, I don’t– you know, it’s–

Sheila: Whoa.

Bill: A huge estate. Occasionally, there’s an electrical short. Not a big deal.

Sheila: Well, you know, I have a– I have an idea. Why don’t we, uh, why don’t we go out? Drive up the coast and have a nice romantic dinner on the beach somewhere. I– I’ll– I’ll make a reservation.

Bill: Ah, that sounds beautiful. Let’s do that.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: Oh, wait, wait, hang on a second. What– no, I– I can’T. I’ve got a really important business dinner. A client has flown in from europe. I can’t miss it. Let’s do malibu tomorrow night and we can pick this up later. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Ah, I guess we have to, uh, go to work.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: Mm. I mean, I’m– I’m trying, I just, you know, I can’t let you go.

Steffy: I know, I think I’m suffering from the same thing.

Finn: You know I hate being away from you and the kids. With sheila out there, you know it’s only a matter of time before she shows back up at our doorstep and it’s all because of me.

Steffy: No, it’s not. It’s because of bill. God, I don’t know what he was thinking. How– how does he claim that he’s in love with sheila? How does he blackmail us so he can make sure that sheila is set free? None of this makes sense.

[ Car revving ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: I thought you said it was too dangerous for us to talk.

Sheila: It is.

Deacon: So, what’s up?

Sheila: I– I don’t know, maybe I’m being paranoid. I– do you think bill could have an inkling about us?

Deacon: Why do you think that?

Sheila: Because I was just with him and he’s acting strange. I– I don’t know how to explain it, but there is something weird going on with him.

[ Console beeping ]

Ridge: How ya holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.

Wyatt: No one can trust sheila carter.

Steffy: She’s evil. Pure evil.

Sheila: Bill can never be on to us. Could he suspect something?

Bill: We’re on to you, all right.

Ridge: We’re gonna have her exactly where we want her. This could get real interesting real fast.

Liam: I don’t understand how this is happening. Like, we– we– we talked about it and you said you– you weren’t gonna let thomas back on hftf.

Hope: I changed my mind.

Liam: Has he already gotten to you? Like, this is exa– this is the fear, right? This is what I’m afraid of. Like, he always takes advantage.

Hope: Liam, no. It wasn’t like that. This was my decision. And thomas actually said he didn’t wanna come back to the line if it would cost me. And this is good, liam. With thomas on board again, I can save my line, and the best part is that douglas seeing us getting along, he wanted to come back home.

Liam: Look, I’m excited about that part. That’s the best news ever, but what are you telling me, exactly? Is it– is it that– that douglas only wanted to come home because you and thomas are gonna start working together again?

Thomas: What’s that look?

[ Steffy chuckling ]

Steffy: Nothing, just– just seeing you at the office makes me realize how much I missed you.

Thomas: Aw, well, thanks, sis, I– I missed you too, and you know, I’m– I’m just happy. Right now, I’m so happy that hope was willing to give me another chance, especially after what I did to brooke and– and to douglas. I’m just gonna make sure that hope never regrets this decision.

Steffy: I believe you.

Thomas: I just wonder how it’s going with hope. Her telling liam that I’m rejoining the line.

Steffy: Well, my guess, I think liam’s gonna freak out when he hears what hope’s done.

Thomas: Maybe liam will be on board with me coming back and working with hope again.

Steffy: Look at you, mr. Positive.

Thomas: Well, it’s not like the stakes could be higher, you know? I mean, how could he reject me coming back and– and saving hope for the future?

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: Hey, mom.

Steffy: Mom, hey.

Taylor: Hi. I came by hoping I would see this. Ah. I missed seeing my kids back together. I hated seeing you two at odds.

Steffy: Yeah, we didn’t like it either.

Taylor: So, why don’t you look happier?

Thomas: No, and I’m– I am happy. You know? I– I’m just– I’m very glad that everyone is, uh, giving me another chance. I’m just a little concerned about hope’s decision to reinstate me and how that might actually cause problems for her and liam.

Liam: I’m so confused right now. I thought– I thought we agreed, like, right here in this room that thomas coming back to hope for the future was a bad idea. So– so what happened?

Hope: Liam, either thomas returns as lead designer or I lose my line. And you know that hope for the future isn’t just some creative outlet for me. It’s a way I get my message into the world, and I don’t wanna lose that. Not if there was a chance to save it. And like it or not, thomas was that chance.

Liam: No, I know, I– that– but that’s– that’s thomas’s pitch, right? I know that thomas wants you to believe that. I just– I’m trying to understand w– what he did to make you change your mind and let him in again. Again. She found it.

Taylor: Now, I know how badly you wanna help save hope for the future, but what if hope listens to liam and she doesn’t want you to come back?

Thomas: I’ll head home and, you know, figure out what’s next.

Taylor: Good. I like that plan. You learn from it, and move on.

Thomas: Yeah, what I won’t do is I won’t be some kind of issue in hope and liam’s marriage. I mean, I– I– I don’t want hope’s decision to bring me back on to affect that at all. So, if liam has a problem, I will respectfully bow out.

Taylor: Fingers crossed you don’t have to. And–

Douglas: Thanks for lunch, paris. See ya!

Thomas: Hey, bud!

Taylor: Douglas!

Steffy: Hey, I was wondering where you went. Are you enjoying your day off?

Douglas: Paris took me to the cafeteria.

Taylor: Oh, that was nice.

Steffy: I heard the big news. You’re going back to the cabin.

Douglas: I hope you don’t mind. I know it was a big deal choosing to live with you.

Steffy: Hey, we were happy to have you. And know that you are always welcome over.

Douglas: Thanks for letting me stay with you, aunt steffy, and for taking such good care of me.

Steffy: Oh, get over here. Of course. My goodness.

Douglas: Where’s mom?

Thomas: Well, uh, she– she went to tell liam the big news, uh, that you are gonna go back and live with them at the cabin.

Douglas: And about you guys working together again?

Liam: I feel like– like this is deja vu. Like where I tell you that thomas’s track record scares me, I ask you not to let him back into your life again, you agree, but then you– you’re standing here and you’re telling me that you changed your mind again.

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Hope, I– I– I know that hope for the future is struggling and you’re doing everything that you can to save it because th– the– you are the line, and the line is you. I get that. I even get that thomas is a talented designer, and I even get that one of the reasons hope for the future has enjoyed so much success in the past is because of him. But as your husband, my top priority is just your well being. So, how many times does it take? How– how many chances do you have to give thomas before he finally proves to you that he can’t control himself around you.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Thomas hasn’t been inappropriate around me.

Thomas: Are you kidding me? He tried to kiss you at the preview, hope.

Hope: Liam, I told him it wasn’t going to happen, and he respected that.

Liam: Oh.

Hope: He didn’t push that. He let it go. And besides, this is about me not losing hope for the future.

Liam: I really thought you agreed with me that rehiring thomas was too dangerous, so what changed?

Hope: Liam, I am sorry to disappoint you. I am. And believe me, I– I heard everything that you had to say and I took it all into consideration, and–

Liam: You’re still not telling me what changed. Do I already know the answer? Is it just the same answer as it’s always been in the past? He got in your head? Is– is it just that again?

Hope: No. Liam, this was my decision. Look, you’re just– you’re not gonna like what I have to say. You’re not going to like it. I do believe that thomas has changed.

Liam: Hope. Why give your family just any eggs

Douglas: So, is mommy telling liam?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. Yeah, not only that you’re gonna be living there at the cabin with them, but that she and i will be working together again.

Douglas: Will liam get mad? He doesn’t seem to like you very much.

Taylor: I am sorry that you have to deal with that.

Steffy: Liam and hope will figure everything out, okay?

Douglas: Any ideas for new designs?

Thomas: Well, here. I’ve got a few, I think. Um, and, you know, I– I, uh want you to remember something. Even if hope and I, we’re not able to work together, I need you to remember that you are loved. We love you so much and we are always gonna be team douglas. Look, I– I have made some mistakes in the past, but I promise– hey, look right here. I will never, ever do that again, okay?

Liam: You think thomas has changed?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Why?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Why? Why? Because he said so? Again? Like, how many times do you have to hear, “I’m a changed man.” How many times do you have to hear, “I’m sorry?” The– I mean, you– you– you remember him, like, keeping the fact that beth was alive from us for months and how much that hurt you?

Hope: Of course I remember that. I haven’t forgotten that. Thanks.

Liam: Okay, you also remember that, you know, he, like, tried to throw me off a building so he could kidnap you. That is as messed up a sentence as I think I can conceive of, and yet, it’s absolutely true. What about the fact that he kept a mannequin that looked exactly like you in his apartment so that he could live out his sick, twisted fantasies of a life with you? What about all the times that he’s used douglas to manipulate you? Why are we just ignoring this?

Hope: Liam, I am not justifying or defending any of that.

Liam: No, but you– but you are. You are when you say, “oh, I think he’s changed this time.”

Hope: Liam, what I do believe is that there’s good in everyone. Even thomas. And yes, he has messed up, but what matters is that he’s willing to–

Liam: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, m– no, not messed up. I have messed up, right? I’m the king of messing up. What thomas does is not messing up. Thomas has been fixated on you for years and it festers and it festers and it festers and when it finally doesn’t work, when you turn him down, he gets dangerous. He starts to do things that actually hurt people, okay? So, this– this is why I’m asking you how you can let this happen again. I am asking you how you can let him in to your life again. And I’m not just asking for me, I’m asking for the sake of your well-being, and I am asking for the safety of our family. How? (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

Taylor: You know something? Not too long ago, thomas wouldn’t have even admitted that he needed therapy, but– but look at him now. Not only is he seeing someone, he is doing the work.

Steffy: Yeah, thomas really does wanna be a better man. To be worthy of the blessings he’s been given. Especially douglas.

Taylor: Douglas is such a wonderful little boy.

Steffy: He really is. And it was so amazing when he was spending time us, but…

Taylor: But?

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I worry. I worry about douglas spending so much time solving adult problems. That’s why he came to live with us in the first place. He knew that there was tension between hope and thomas and he removed himself. But now that hope and thomas are working together again–

Taylor: Douglas feels like his job is done.

Steffy: Exactly.

Taylor: You know what, we’ll– we’ll keep an eye on it, okay? I– douglas should be focused on– on being a kid right now and not healing family drama, that’s– that’s too much for any child to take on. Just, um, we’ll see where it goes from here, okay? Honestly, I– I have faith in thomas. He is dedicated to being the best father to douglas.

Steffy: I agree. I really think that douglas can come out to be the big winner in this. As long as thomas’s obsession with hope is in the past.

Taylor: I don’t feel concerned about that anymore. I– I don’T. What I do feel is complete pride in my son.

Thomas: So, you excited to be moving back to mom’s?

Douglas: Yeah. It was fun living at aunt steffy’s though.

Thomas: It’s nice having the beach in your backyard, huh?

Douglas: And lots of cool takeout and delivery.

Thomas: Yeah, my sis is a lot of things, but a good cook? Not one of ’em.

Douglas: Finn is definitely better.

Thomas: You like him, huh?

Douglas: He’s the best, but no one is as cool as you, dad.

Thomas: That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Right back at ya.

Douglas: Are you excited about working with mommy again?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. Yeah, I can’t wait to get started.

Douglas: She needs your help.

Thomas: What do you know about that?

Douglas: I hear stuff. Hope for the future’s in trouble, and it needs you and mommy working together to fix it.

Thomas: Well, I am excited to get back to work and do that.

Douglas: I wish you could be together all the time.

Thomas: Are you, uh, conveniently forgetting about mommy’s marriage to liam?

Douglas: I know.

Thomas: Hey, we have to respect that. Always.

Douglas: I do, but I still hope that someday, I can live with you and mommy and we can be a real family.

Thomas: Come here, bud.

Hope: I hear everything you’re saying, liam, but respectfully, this time, I don’t agree. Thomas lost everything. He lost his job, he lost his family, he lost douglas. And in that time alone, he reevaluated, he sought professional help, he actually has apologized to my mother and he understands that that fake phone call to cps was not okay, and he regrets it.

Liam: As he always does.

Hope: This time is different, liam. It is. I believe that. And– and you’re forgetting the most important part, which is that we are setting a good example for douglas. Douglas is going to get to see his two parents working alongside each other and getting along. And I know I said I wouldn’t rehire thomas, and I am so– I am so sorry to go back on my word, but liam, I am not going to sacrifice my career over this. I am not. So, while I am so thankful for you looking out for me, and you caring for me, I also need you to trust me because I have put thomas on notice. I let him know that I– if I even see a glint of the old him, he’s gone. But I really don’t think it’s going to come to that because he has made progress. There are steps–

Liam: I feel like we’re talking past each other, though, so can I– can I just take a go at this? Can I– can– can you listen to me for one second–

Hope: Liam, I need you to listen to me. I understand your concerns. And I never– I just– I don’t want this to become an issue in our relationship because our marriage and our family means so much to me. But so does my job. So, please, when I say that this felt like the only option and I think it’s a good thing for douglas, and I just, like, I don’t know how many times I can tell you I can look out for myself. I will be vigilant. And if I– if he even tries anything, it’s done! It ends there. So, can you just accept this decision? My decision.

Liam: Yeah, I think– I think it’s clear that you’ve– you’ve made it, um, and he’s– he is coming back, so, yeah.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah.

Liam: Hey, you know I love you more than anything, right? I just want you to have everything you need. And um, I’m scared. That’s all. I’m scared. But I’m not gonna let thomas be the thing that comes between us and our life together. I won’t– I won’t do it, okay?

Hope: Thank you. Thank you so much, liam. Thank you for understanding.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I know there’s still a lot to discuss with you designing again, thomas, but honestly right now, all I can hear is douglas saying that he wants to come live with us again.

Thomas: Yeah. You– you must be so excited.

Hope: I am. Honestly, I was beginning to think it might never happen. Oh, beth is gonna be so happy getting her older brother back.

Thomas: Well, I think he’s with our moms right now. I could grab him and bring him over to the cabin if you want.

Hope: Thomas, are you– are you okay with this? I mean, I– I know. I mean, obviously, it was your suggestion that douglas pick where he lives, and I know you were hoping that he’d want to live with you.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s um– it’s still painful, him choosing to live at the cabin instead of with me. But, you know, um, it’s– it’s actually, it’s– it’s okay. ‘Cause– I– look, we’re in a– we’re in a better place now and we can figure out a better situation that works for all of us. And I– honestly, I’m– I am excited. I am. I’m ready to– to see what the future has in store for us.

Liam: So, thankfully thomas will not be returning to hope for the future now.

Wyatt: Well, it’s kinda nuts they were even considering it in tstm: Wel yeah. And I’m just– I’m– I’m so grateful I was able to get through to hope. You know, make her realize what a risk it is. She just– she can’t be spending day after day after day with that guy. In fact, he shouldn’t be allowed near her ever again.

Wyatt: Look, hope knows who thomas is.

Liam: Yes. She– she does. But she’s also really vulnerable right now ’cause she’s so concerned about her line.

Wyatt: And having thomas around’s not gonna worry her more?

Liam: That’s the thing. Steffy had her convinced that he’s the only designer in the whole universe that can save it.

Wyatt: What? What? That’s– that’s insane. They have plenty of designers. He’s not the only one.

Liam: You know that and I know that, but according to thomas, he and hope have a special connection.

Wyatt: Oh, god.

Liam: And it’s– you know what? It’s not even that he’s wrong in general about that. I mean, the two of them share a kid. That’s fine. It’s just the whole, like, I’m a changed man thing. That’s– that’s where I get off the train.

Wyatt: Yeah. And how many times have we heard that?

Liam: Exactly. He’s still the same guy, right? He’s still unreliable. He’s still egocentric. He’s–

Wyatt: Creepy.

Liam: Totally creepy. And thankfully hope sees that now.

Wyatt: Well, it’s gotta be a huge relief for you to know that you got through to her, right?

[ Liam sighing ]

Hope: I believe you want hope for the future to succeed, thomas.

Thomas: And I will do everything I can to make that happen.

Hope: Oh, well, I mean, that depends. I don’t want you to take things too far.

Thomas: No, no, no, no, no. No way. Now that guy is long gone, right? Thankfully. Now, I wanna be the kind of person that you and the rest of the family can be proud of. Someone that our son can look up to.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Steffy: What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, it is.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s great.

Steffy: Great. Okay. That sounds positive.

Hope: I think so.

Steffy: Wait a minute. Does– does this mean?

Hope: Yes, I– I have agreed to let thomas back on hope for the future.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, that’s great. Hi, I’m michael,

[ Phone chimes ]

Wyatt: Hope?

Liam: No.

Wyatt: Wasn’t she gonna call you after she talked to steffy?

Liam: Yeah, but you know, she’s been under so much stress lately that I think I’d forgive her if it slipped her mind.

Wyatt: I know. A lot of that going around, huh?

Liam: Yeah. I– I wish– I wish there was something more I could do to help. I’m trying to be like encouraging and– and supportive, but hope for the future is sputtering.

Wyatt: Combine that with losing douglas. It’s gotta feel like a one-two punch to her, you know? I still can’t believe he chose to live with steffy.

Liam: Yeah. I mean that was especially painful for hope because she– she prides herself on being not just a good mom, but a successful businesswoman. And it’s annoying because all of the– all of this is thomas’s fault, right? He’s the one who got himself kicked out of forrester, which is why hope for the future is suffering. He’s the one who pushed the whole custody issue.

Wyatt: Yeah. And I mean, hope’s gotta see that though, right? I mean she’s– she’s– she’s paying attention.

Liam: Yes. Well, I mean, I thought so, but– but then she started talking about the possibility of bringing him back to the line. And so I– I don’t know. Listen, it’s her business, obviously. She knows how to run it and she can do whatever she wants. But I– my thing is I don’t want her to be manipulated, right? And that’s why I took a stand.

Wyatt: You were being a protective husband and rightfully so.

Liam: Yes, of course, counterpoint is hope can totally take care of herself. And at the end of the day, I don’t want to be the, you know, laying down the law. “Ooh. You have to do what I say.” Like that guy.

Wyatt: What are you talking about? I know you. That’s not the kinda guy you are. Plus, it doesn’t even sound like you guys argued about it.

Liam: We argued a little, but we each understood what the other one was saying too.

Wyatt: She’s lucky to have you and whether it seems like it or not, she knows you’re looking out for her because working with thomas is a non-starter. He cannot have a place in your lives.

Steffy: Seriously. You want thomas as your lead designer?

Hope: Well, pending your approval.

Steffy: Approved. As long as it’s something you really want.

Hope: I mean, look, it’s no secret that I wasn’t exactly okay with it at first. I needed some convincing and I needed to be able to trust the people that I work with. And I needed to believe that thomas had really changed.

Thomas: I have. I promise.And-and I will. I– I give you my word. All right. You– you too, steff.

Hope: Yeah. He was pretty convincing. Even my mom sounded cautiously optimistic.

Thomas: She’s never gonna forgive me for the phone call, how I affected her marriage, but she said that she would support whatever hope chose to do.

Steffy: You’re good, thomas. Maybe I should move you over to sales.

Thomas: Hm. Yeah. I can’t take all the credit. Mom definitely gave brooke a lot of encouragement.

Hope: Hmm. Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Their friendship has been such a game changer.

Thomas: Definitely a game changer for me. I mean, it changed my entire world, my life, you know. I mean, I– I was ready to accept whatever brooke said. You know, even if that meant that I could make it up to everybody, what I wanted to do all along, you know. That’s all I wanted was to make it up to– to you, the whole family. And– and definitely my son.

Hope: Douglas was here too.

Thomas: Mm.

Steffy: Did you tell him the news?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: I think he was more excited than we were.

Steffy: Absolutely. He always says how amazing it is when you two are getting along.

Hope: And we told him it could be like that again.

Thomas: Yeah. Hope and i vowed to be a team at work and his parents.

Steffy: He must be so happy.

Hope: He is. And actually he– he said that he misses me, he misses our family and he’s actually ready to come back home.

Steffy: Are you serious? Hope, that’s great.

Hope: I know. I know you know it’s been really tough for me with him away.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. I mean, I can only imagine. But I told you this is only temporary. Like, this is wonderful. Okay, so we’ll– we’ll reach out to the judge and we’ll figure everything out.

Hope: Yeah. We actually– we have a call in already.

Steffy: Wow. Okay. Okay. So many changes around here. Speaking of changes, how does liam feel now that you’re working with thomas? I’m sure it took a bit of convincing.

Hope: Well, he actually doesn’t know yet. When asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Wyatt: Well, look, I should get going. Hope’s probably gonna be home soon, huh?

Liam: Yep. Maybe. Who knows? She might stay at the office and see if she can figure out how to salvage her line without thomas.

Wyatt: Look, if she can’t, she’ll find something else to do. Something better.

Liam: When did you become such a ray of sunshine?

Wyatt: I don’t know. I don’t know. I honestly think I blacked out there for a second. Look, not everything has to be dark and ominous in our lives. We get enough of that talking to dad.

Liam: Have you talked to him recently?

Wyatt: Nope. And I don’t know why I would, because everything that he says just does not make sense anyway. What about you? You gonna tell him about this whole situation?

Liam: What? Tell dad that thomas is becoming a concern again? Absolutely not.

Wyatt: You know, the way things are going, maybe dad and thomas will become best friends.

Liam: Oh, god.

Wyatt: Why did I say that?

Liam: Oh. No, thank you.

[Indistinct], I keep– I don’t know. I keep thinking he’s gonna just snap out of it and become his old self again, but no dice.

Wyatt: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I kinda miss him calling me a knucklehead ten times a day. It’s just this whole sheila thing, it– it– it’s weird. I just, I– I have no clue what to do.

Liam: I don’t either. And in fact, the more I think about it, the less of a clue I have.

Wyatt: Well, you got enough on your plate. I’ll handle dad. Hey, at least I get to cross thomas off the list, right?

Thomas: So liam doesn’t know you’re bringing me back as lead designer?

Steffy: You didn’t talk to him about it?

Hope: No, I did and he was upset to hear that my line might be canceled, but I explained the situation to him and the two options and that I was considering it.

Thomas: And one of those options being that I’m coming back as lead designer.

Hope: He wasn’t thrilled. He insisted that I say no.

Steffy: But you got liam to come around.

Hope: Well, he’s genuinely worried about me, our family. He just wants to protect us.

Thomas: From me.

Hope: From being hurt again.

Thomas: Yeah. Look, I’m sorry, hope. That must have been a really hard conversation.

Hope: Well, liam understands that hope for the future is very important to me, but the security and safety of our family is paramount to him and I don’t disagree with that. So, by the end of our conversation, I assured him that I would tell you both no.

Steffy: You did?

Thomas: Wait, so when you came here today, you– you– you planned on letting me down?

Hope: I was going to tell you no. And liam does have a point. After everything that happened with douglas and beth, after how many chances you’ve been given.

Thomas: Right. But you didn’T. So, something changed your mind?

Hope: I love my line and I don’t wanna see it end and I think it would be good for douglas to see us working together. So yes, I changed my mind. I also believe, thomas, that this time is different.

Thomas: It is different, okay. I promise you, you don’t have to worry and neither does liam. I’m not gonna let you down.

Steffy: I still don’t think liam will find that reassuring.

Hope: Well, I will find a way to get through to him. The sooner I do that, the better. I don’t want him finding out from anyone else, so.

Thomas: Hope, wait. Um, I– look, I– I promise you I meant what I said. I don’t wanna cause you any more pain or heartache. Okay? So… if you have to let me go in order to protect your marriage, it’s okay, all right? I’ll be fine with that. I’m jonathan lawson

Steffy: I see that smile.

Thomas: I am happier than I’ve been in a long time. And– and not just because of what hope’s done for me, bringing me back to the company. I mean, that– that’s amazing. But honestly, she could go home right now and talk to liam and decide that she needs to let me go, but it’s the fact that she actually was willing to put her faith in me again. And you too. It just– it means the world. So, thank you for going to bat for me.

Steffy: Yeah. Hopefully, it doe g

Steffy: No backsliding, okay? I don’t wanna see a hint of your old behavior. You’re in a really positive place right now, and I just want you to stay right here.

Thomas: Okay. I’m not– I’m not– okay. I’m not changing. I’m not changing. I can feel the difference in myself.

Steffy: Good. I know you work so hard on yourself. I really hope it pays off. I mean, our family has just been through so much and we deserve a win this time.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, is dad gonna feel that way about you bringing me back?

Steffy: Okay, thomas. We will cross that bridge when we get there. The bottom line together again. Douglas is moving back into the cabin. It feels like our family is finally coming together. I wonder if it’s the opposite over at hope and liam’S.

Thomas: No, douglas is coming to live with them again, back at the cabin. They should be celebrating. And honestly, I– I meant it. I do not have any ill will toward their marriage.

Liam: I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life, and when you don’t, we all pay the price. I don’t know what– I don’t know what to do anymore. So, I’m begging you again. Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life. Please.

Hope: Okay. Fine. Fine. I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You’re making the right decision, I promise. I promise. Hey, you’re home. You actually just missed wyatt. I– I kinda filled him in on everything. He– he was– he was pretty shocked that– that steffy would even consider hiring thomas back and– and make you go along with it.

Hope: Well, steffy’s not the only one pushing that.

Liam: No. Yeah, of course. Obviously, it was thomas himself and– and taylor. I’m glad we got to have a conversation before you got pressured into making a bad decision. And thank you by the way, for hearing me out ’cause I know that you’ve been really stressed and not just about the line, but about douglas as well, so.

Hope: Well, um, some good news. I actually saw douglas when I was at forrester creations and he said that he– he misses us and he wants to come back home.

Liam: Are you serious?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Hope: It’s incredible.

Liam: Oh, my god, that’s amazing.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Yes. So what– how did– what did– what changed his mind? Like– like why did he– why did he decide to come home?

Hope: Uh, well um, he saw thomas and me together.

Liam: Oh, thomas was at forrester today?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Was douglas present when you had to tell thomas he wasn’t returning to hftf? ‘Cause I kinda feel like seeing his parents arguing is the last thing he needs right now.

Hope: Oh, we weren’t– we weren’t arguing.

Liam: Well, that’s cool. So, thomas kinda like took it on the chin for the sake of his kid. That’s good. You know, see, that’s growth, right? That’s good.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: What? What?

Hope: You know, I– I respect you and I understand where you’re coming from and I heard everything that you had to say and I was ready to go in there and tell steffy and everyone what we decided, but then I heard all the different sides of the argument and I, um… I changed my mind.

Liam: Um, you– you changed your mind about what specifically? What did you– what did you say?

Hope: I asked thomas to come back to hope for the future as lead designer. Thomas and I are going to be working together again.

Brooke: So, did you talk to liam about the possibility of thomas working here again?

Hope: And I knew he wouldn’t be thrilled but…

Brooke: I’m guessing he was very much against it.

Liam: Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life, please.

Hope: Yeah, I– I don’t blame him. I mean he– he’s right. I’ve trusted thomas before and look at where it’s gotten me.

Brooke: Did you land on a decision?

Hope: Okay, fine.

All right, I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god, my god,

thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Taylor: Hey, good morning, I left my tablet here last night. Am I interrupting?

Brooke: Uh no, actually I’m glad that you’re here. Hope was about to tell me if she’s decided or not.

Taylor: Have you decided? Is thomas going to come back and work for hope for the future?

Liam: So, did dad actually say that like in those words he doesn’t care about the amount, just get the deal done?

Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah and he’ll sign off on it, no questions asked, he’s gonna let me handle the whole thing, which is fine.

Liam: I’ve just never seen him so uninvolved in his own business.

Wyatt: Exactly. We’ve also never seen him involved with a homicidal maniac before. There’s that. He’s a changed man. What? You disagree?

Liam: No, no I don’t disagree, it’s just… I’ve been hearing that phrase a lot lately. A changed man, a changed man. Like really? Does anybody ever really change, like?

Wyatt: One would hope. Something tells me we’re not talking about dad anymore. What’s going on with you?

Liam: You got me. Um, all right I’ll give you a clue. It starts with a t and ends with ass.

Paris: I thought I’d see you at the office today. Everyone’s talking about it.

Thomas: Talking about what?

Paris: Hope for the future and how it’s in serious trouble and that a certain designer ought to be working on it again. Is that why you’re here, thomas? Are you back to save the day?

Thomas: Well, paris, I would love the opportunity, but it’s all up to hope.

Paris: Hope should be begging you to come back.

Thomas: She wouldn’t have to beg, I’d gladly do it.

Paris: Well, honestly, the line hasn’t been the same without you, but it’s not like you haven’t been putting in the work. Personally, I mean, you’ve been going to therapy and all that stuff’s rough, but you’re doing it. You’re making amends, you’re improving yourself.

Thomas: I appreciate you noticing.

Paris: Of course, it’s obvious you’ve changed. I see it and hope should see it too. But even if she does see it, there’s still an unfortunate problem. There’s still one person who may not ever accept the fact that you’ve changed, whose opinion she can’t ignore, liam.

Wyatt: What does thomas have to do with anything, all right? I thought he got booted from– from forrester?

Liam: He did.

Wyatt: Okay, so then hope doesn’t have to see his stupid face around the office anymore, right?

Liam: Well, apparently thomas has the magic touch when it comes to hope for the future and singularly determines whether or not the line is successful or can exist.

Wyatt: Hold– hold on, hold on. So, thomas is working on hope’s line again?

Liam: Thankfully, no, not anymore.

Hope: I’ve made a decision. Yes, it wasn’t easy, but after talking with liam.

Taylor: Liam has no idea the work that thomas is doing to make things right with all of us.

Hope: Well, we discussed it and liam believes that thomas is being disingenuous.

Taylor: I sat in on thomas’s therapy session last night and it’s legit. He is working so hard to become a better person. I– I would never support this if I– if I thought he wasn’T. Especially on your line. The friendship that your mom and I have built means so much to me. The years of battles that we have gone through to get to this point. I– I would never jeopardize it by putting you at risk.

Brooke: I’m sure that hope trusts you. But the question is, can you trust thomas? Can liam? So, what did you decide? Are you willing to allow thomas to work with you again?

Taylor: Can you just find it in your heart to give him another shot? Hi, I’m debra.

Thomas: You’re right, liam’s opinion definitely does matter. Um, which means my chances of being back on hope for the future are slim to none.

Paris: Oh, hey, try leaning towards slim, all right? Don’t give up yet.

Thomas: I’m not.

Paris: When is she deciding?

Thomas: She probably already has. I’d actually better go find out.

Paris: Well, I think she’s across the hall, if you’re ready to face the music.

Thomas: Ha. Uh, wish me luck?

Paris: Sending all kinds your way.

Wyatt: So steffy convinced hope to do it or not?

Liam: Convinced, I mean, I don’t know about convinced but– but hope was considering it for a minute there. Thankfully, it didn’t take me too long to bring her back to reality.

Wyatt: I mean, this doesn’t make any sense. Why would steffy let all be forgiven after everything that thomas has done?

Liam: Ah, you know, he’s her brother, unconditional love. She felt obligated to forgive him, yada yada yada. What I don’t understand is how steffy could expect hope to forgive him.

Wyatt: Hope can’t have thomas designing for her again. You did get through to her about that, right?

Liam: Thankfully yes. So, I mean, it’s– it’s looking like if thomas does have a future at forrester, it’s not gonna be because he’s working with hope.

Brooke: Look, honey, I don’t want to put you on the spot. If you’re not ready to answer, that is fine. Just, it’s a big decision so take your time.

Taylor: No, don’t take too much time. No, steffy is ready to pull your line. I mean, I know you’re worried about liam.

Brooke: Yes, of course. I’m sure he’s not happy about this.

Hope: No, liam doesn’t want thomas and me working together.

Taylor: Okay, but if thomas wasn’t genuinely trying to make things better, I would agree. But he is.

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey. Mom, I had no idea you’d be here.

Taylor: Hi, baby. I– yeah, I left my tablet here last night. I wanted to grab it before work. And also just seeing if there’s any news.

Hope: There will be after thomas and I talk… alone.

Brooke: Oh, oh yes, of course, shall we?

Taylor: We shall.

Thomas: Must’ve been quite the conversation with liam, assuming you talked to him.

Hope: Well, liam is my husband, not going to keep him in the dark.

Thomas: I’m guessing that he didn’t take things so well. Okay, look, hope, I wanna work with you, I do. I love what we do together, our line. I want– I want to create, you know, wonderful designs and– and bring our visions to life, I do. Not at the expense of your marriage or your relationship. I don’t– I don’t want to cause any tension between you and liam, so… if you have to say no, I’ll understand. Hi, I’m angela.

Liam: I did the right thing, right? Talking hope off that ledge.

Wyatt: Uh, yeah. Why are you even questioning that?

Liam: I’m not. I just, I don’t know. I’m starting to wonder if it’s more like a home life is home life and work life is–

Wyatt: Dude! Nope, nope. Stop right there. No, you did the right thing, okay?

Liam: It’s just if she loses her line and it’s because of me…

Wyatt: No, it’s because she’s not working with thomas. And if that’s the case, then it’s their loss, okay? She’ll figure something else out.

Liam: All right, here’s the thing. I– I have so much respect for hope. She’s so smart. She’s so hard working. You know, she– she’s strong willed. She doesn’t– she doesn’t need to be coming home and having me telling her what to do. Like that’s not the role I want in her life.

Wyatt: But you’re married. Her decisions affect you and your decisions affect her. That’s how it works. Especially when it involves someone you can’t trust like thomas. Okay, you were fully supportive and loving and caring, just like you always are, right? You weren’t bossing her around and acting all caveman like.

Liam: Uh yeah, yeah, I think 90% supportive, 10% neanderthal.

Wyatt: Okay. A little caveman’s okay, but you did the right thing because that’s what a good husband does, that.

Liam: Thanks, man. I really– I really appreciate the support and I hope my– my beautiful wife appreciates mine. I’m just, bottom line, I did get through to her and she’s not welcoming thomas back to her line, so.

Taylor: So, what do you think hope is going to decide?

Brooke: Whoo, I don’t know. Her line means so much to her, but is it really worth the risk? No, that is not a dig to thomas. And I believe your assessment about him. I do. I’ve always wanted him to be happy and healthy.

Taylor: And he is, he is well on his way. But I understand that you’re conflicted and so is hope.

Brooke: She was moved by what you said earlier. So was I.

Taylor: Good. So, were you both moved enough to give thomas another chance to prove himself.

Brooke: Mm, that is the question.

Taylor: I know. I know.

Paris: Oh, or better yet, you can hang out with your two grandparents.

Taylor: Hi, paris. Douglas!

Brooke: Hi, douglas. Oh, group hug. Hug, hug, hug.

Taylor: What are you doing here?

Douglas: Amelia dropped me off. I’ve got plans with dad.

Paris: But I told him his father’s in an important meeting.

Taylor: Yes, a very important meeting.

Douglas: What’s it about?

Brooke: Well.

Taylor: It’s a meeting between your parents?

Brooke: Yeah. It turns out your father and your mother may be working together again.

Douglas: Really?

Taylor: Yeah. How would you feel about that?

Douglas: That’d be so cool. It makes things a lot better. I hate it when they don’t get along.

Taylor: Mm.

Hope: You’d really understand if I had to say no.

Thomas: Well yeah, I mean, if you think working with me would somehow affect your marriage. I mean, if liam isn’t willing to accept the changes I’m making, what else can I do? I’m not gonna hold that against you.

Hope: I mean, if you were to actually follow through. If your words were backed up by your actions.

Thomas: They would be.

Hope: Then maybe he would initially be upset by it, but then, you know, he could move on. Especially if the line becomes a success. I mean, you have become an important part of hope for the future. I mean, no other designer captures the spirit of the line like you do. I mean, and believe me, I’ve tried looking.

Thomas: Well, thank you for saying that. I do respectfully agree, so.

Hope: And you were right about douglas, how it would mean something to him to set an example to see his parents working well together.

Thomas: Um, are you– are you saying?

Hope: I’m not ready to walk away from this. I’m not. This line is too important to me. It impacts too many people. It’s message is too important and I am not going to let those people down. So yes, I believe with you as lead designer, we could create something really special. Welcome back to hope for the future, thomas.

Liam: Hey, when was the last time that we had hope for the future on the cover? Was it like a few months ago, I think? I gotta, I gotta find it. Can you remind me? I was thinking about like having it framed for hope. As a gift.

Wyatt: It’s a good idea.

Liam: Yeah, right?

Wyatt: Or, or a bad one. Might be a painful reminder because it’s so long.

Liam: Oh, god. I didn’t even, ah, never mind. I don’t know, I’m just I want to do, I wanna do something nice for her. Something to make up for the fact that I was all like hardcore.

Wyatt: Dude, you do not have to make up for anything. You were being a protective husband. That’s okay. All right? Look, anyone in your shoes would’ve done the same thing. No one would want their wife working with that creep, okay? Look, hope is a remarkable, resourceful woman. She is gonna find a way to keep hftf afloat, I promise you.

Liam: Not if steffy has anything to say about it and she is the boss.

Wyatt: Okay fine, then she’ll find something else better. I– I know hope and I know that she appreciates what you did, okay? You were protecting your marriage. You were protecting your guys’ family, which means no thomas.

Liam: Yeah.

Thomas: Thank you so much. You have no idea of what this means to me. I– I won’t let you down.

Hope: Well, good. But thomas you need to understand if I see even a hint of the old you come out–

Thomas: You– you won’t, okay? And if you did, I’d be gone. I promise. I understand, look I am– I am dedicated to being the best person I can. The best co-worker, the best father and the best friend.

Hope: All right, in that case, I think it will work out.

Thomas: This is uh, this is my last chance. I get that and possibly hope for the future’s, so look, I promise I will not mess this up.

Brooke: Sorry to disturb you.

Taylor: Yeah, we just ran into one of your biggest fans.

Hope: Douglas!

Thomas: What’s up, man? Oh, what great timing.

Taylor: Wait, great timing does– does that mean?

Hope: Yes, thomas and i will be working on hope for the future again.

Douglas: You’re working together again?

Thomas: You bet we are.

Hope: Um, that is if steffy approves.

Taylor: Oh, of course she’s gonna approve, she’s gonna be so happy.

Douglas: But can you be friends too because I was just saying how much I hate it when you weren’t getting along.

Thomas: You know what? I think that we hate that just as much as you do. Maybe more.

Hope: Yeah. We’re making it a point to work well together as a friendly team, not only here at work but also as your parents.

Douglas: That’d be awesome.

Thomas: It will be awesome.

Hope: I am actually so happy that you are here so we could tell you the news in person. ‘Cause you wanna know something? I’ve um, kind of been missing you a lot.

Douglas: I miss you too, mom. You know, I’ve had fun staying with aunt steffy and uncle finn, but seeing you happy like this, I think it’s time for me to come home.

Hope: What, like– like now, today?

Douglas: Yeah, I want to be back at the cabin.

Hope: Oh, oh, my gosh, douglas, sweetie. Oh, that is, that’s amazing. It’s amazing. I’ve been hoping to hear you say those words.

Thomas: My talent, your vision, us together. So come on hope, please. Can you trust me again? I promise. I will not let you down.

Liam: Hey. Did I miss bedtime?

Hope: Just put beth to bed.

Liam: Oh, all right, well, bright side, gives me more time with my hot wife.

Hope: Oh.

Liam: Ooh. All right, I know this look. Is it hope for the future?

Thomas: Thanks for meeting us here, dr. Howard. This is just the– the best place for this time.

Howard: Well, I’m encouraged by the progress you’re making, thomas. And asking to meet at the office shows promise.

Thomas: Yeah, well you know, it’s possible I could be designing here again soon. Hopefully. You know our– our sessions have made all the difference in the world and obviously, my mom is very supportive.

Howard: I’m glad you can join us, dr. Hayes.

Taylor: Thank you, dr. Howard. I’m glad to be here. These intensive therapy sessions have been wonderful for thomas.

Howard: He’s been putting in the work.

Taylor: Yeah. You know I– I– I see a– I see a real change in my son. I’m witnessing it firsthand and I’m so proud of you.

Thomas: Thanks, mom.

Katie: No problem at all. I’ll have my assistant send over another press packet. Yes, I’ll have her reach out. Thank you very much. Ciao.

Carter: Ciao to you too.

Katie: Huh. This day just doesn’t want to end.

Carter: One of those, huh?

Katie: Yeah. I’m really sorry I had to cancel our dinner plans.

Carter: Don’t even worry about it.

Katie: Thank you. I have a lot to thank you for. You’ve been such a dear friend to me.

Carter: So, you consider me a dear friend?

Katie: Yes, yes I do. And I sound just like my grandmother.

Carter: You sound just like my grandmother.

Katie: It’s just that, um, well you’re one of the good guys. I feel really lucky to have you on my side. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you.

Carter: I feel the same way about you.

Howard: We’ve been focusing quite a bit on impulse control, using new tools to respond to emotional triggers. Have you noticed a difference in yourself?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, um, I’m definitely recognizing things. I’m being more objective and I can kind of catch my emotions before they grab a hold of me. Well, obviously recently hitting rock bottom, it– it, I don’t know, it just made me so ashamed of the things I’ve done.

Taylor: Okay, but we– we don’t want you to feel ashamed. That’s– that’s not good. I just want you to understand why you do some of the things you do.

Thomas: Yeah, but there are some people out there who don’t believe I’m capable of change.

Liam: I know your life hasn’t been very easy lately, especially with douglas staying over at steffy’S.

Hope: Yeah, I miss him.

Liam: And then add to that, hope for the future going through a rough patch. I– I get it.

Hope: Well, it’s not just a rough patch, liam. I mean, they’re considering shelving the line unless we find a solution.

Liam: You are nothing if not resourceful and I know you and I know you’re gonna do whatever it takes to– to bring the line back and I’m here to help you in any way that I can, if I can.

Hope: And I appreciate that. It’s just um… I don’t think you’re going to like what seems like my only option. I’m considering bringing thomas back as lead designer. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Carter: I feel very close to you, katie. This friendship we’ve built. It’s uh, it’s a beautiful thing.

Katie: It’s nice to have someone to hold on to.

Carter: It means a lot and we’ve helped each other through some challenges.

Katie: Yeah, bill and sheila topping the list. But you know what? We have fun.

Carter: Yeah.

Katie: We have a good time.

Carter: Yeah. And a lot of wonderful meals.

Katie: So much good.

Carter: Too many. I think I’ve gained a few pounds.

Katie: Oh no, no, no, say it’s not so. Are you down to a five pack?

Carter: Five and a half.

Katie: Okay, thank god. I was worried. See? This is what I’m talking about. This is what I’m talking about. I don’t– I don’t wanna– I don’t wanna mess this up. You know, I– I– I love this. It’s uncomplicated and it’s special and I just don’t wanna do anything to jeopardize this– this friendship.

Carter: Me either.

Katie: Because it’s rare, right? It’s rare to find someone that you can– that you can laugh with and just be silly with and… and still be vulnerable and you know, be there for. It’s rare and I just– I– I just don’t want to mess it up, do you know what I mean?

Carter: Yeah, I know exactly… know exactly what you mean.

Howard: You haven’t mentioned hope as much recently. I consider that a positive sign.

Thomas: Yeah, I’ve had moments where I’m still attracted to her, but I haven’t been fixated on her.

Howard: Okay. Good.

Taylor: If I may, dr. Howard?

Howard: Of course.

Taylor: I hear what you’re saying, but– but what makes it different now?

Thomas: Well, I think because I actually believe it, you know? Um, I– I honestly want the best for hope. I just, I want her to be happy, you know and I want her to be able to trust me.

Howard: You understand how difficult that may be for hope? It may take some time.

Thomas: I get that. But I think we make an amazing team together. You know, we’re great parents and we’ve designed some pretty awesome clothes.

Howard: I have no doubt you’re being sincere thomas.

Taylor: Me too.

Thomas: Thank you. Thank you both for believing in me.

Liam: Thomas, really? You would– you would– you would oose to work– to work with tmas ag

>>Ope: It was reike an ultimatum from steffy.

Liam: Uh, its… from steffy? From steffy, after everything that thomas did to her and her family. From steffy?

Hope: Well apparently, they’re back on good terms and she believes he is the only way to get the line back on its feet.

Liam: Oh, my god, that is– that is so unreasonable. He’s obviously not the only way.

Hope: Liam, I was just as thrown as you are right now.

Liam: Thomas, really? I mean anyone but thomas, I don’t care. I don’t care what steffy is telling you, she’s wrong. It’s not always just about the numbers, okay. What is the cost of your sanity? What is the cost of your safety? Please just look me in the eye and tell me you understand that nothing good has ever come from you and thomas being together. Tattoo studio eyeliner from maybelline new york.

Katie: I’ve had so much fun with you. I mean we’ve– we’ve laughed. I just, I– I don’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard. My– my stomach literally has hurt from laughing and that’s amazing and– and wonderful and… I feel safe and I feel secure with you and that… that’s everything that I could ever want in a friend.

Carter: Right back at you. You’re a beautiful woman. You’re giving, open and I admire the hell out of you and nothing’s gonna change that. No matter what.

Katie: No matter what?

Carter: Yeah. So, I guess we are crossing into the friend zone.

Katie: What? What? No, no! Is that what you thought that I was saying? Is that where you thought I was going with this?

Carter: Aren’t you? That’s not, that’s not–

Katie: No, no, no. Hell no.

Taylor: I think that went really well. It’s– it’s so good to see you finding clarity and then working so hard to understand yourself better.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m just so sorry that I caused all this trouble for you and dad and brooke and douglas. It’s like there’s no excuse for what I did.

Taylor: Oh, I know. I know I mean I understand why you did it. But honey, when I– when I look at you now, I see a man who is making this beautiful evolution and I know I keep saying it, but I am so proud of you. And I can tell your therapist is too.

Thomas: You know, I still have no idea how dad feels. And but… at least steffy is– is happy to bring me back into the office.

Taylor: And as far as your dad is concerned, he– he will come around. My big question now is will hope?

Hope: I understand, liam, how you feel about thomas.

Liam: For good reason.

Hope: We are talking about my career, my line that I love and I care so much about. Hope for the future allows me to– to try to make a positive impact in the world–

Liam: Allows you to try? You’ve been making a positive impact, hope and– and I don’t even mean that in some like fuzzy, abstract way, like in my heart or in our home. Like no, you are literally an inspiration to millions of people across the planet. Your– your line has enjoyed success for a decade.

Hope: And I want decades more. I don’t want to abandon it.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not saying that you have to. I get that, I get it. I get that you’re scared about losing your line, but caving into steffy and turning to thomas, there’s no way that’s the answer.

Hope: Yeah, well she says I don’t really have much of a choice.

Liam: She’s wrong! Of course, you have a choice. Of course, there are other choices.

Hope: Look, steffy understands that she’s putting me in a difficult position, but she says her hands are tied.

Liam: That is bull, hope.

Hope: I think the thing you don’t want to acknowledge is the fact that thomas is a very talented designer and hope for the future has been doing very well with him as lead designer.

Liam: I acknowledge that he’s a talented designer. I acknowledge that he’s an incredibly talented designer. What I am not willing to acknowledge is that that is all that matters. Do you– do you acknowledge the risk that you are taking here?

Hope: Liam, I am in between a rock and a hard place and I have the same concerns as you. The difference this time though is thomas isn’t just talk, he actually has been following through with action. He apologized to my mom, he’s going to therapy. Taylor says he’s making excellent progress.

Liam: Oh yeah, taylor always says that he’s making excellent progress right before he turns around and does something psycho. She’s blinded by her love for him. I don’t care. What about your mom? What does your mom say?

Hope: Well, she’s not exactly thrilled.

Liam: Shocking.

Hope: Yeah, but she also understands the business side of it, liam. And she also gets that at the end of the day, it is going to be my decision to make.

Liam: So, uh, okay. Have you made it already? Are you gonna work with thomas again? (Vo) morning, noon, night.

Taylor: You know how– how worried I was about our family. You know, I mean, I knew that we would put the pieces back together at some point. I was just so afraid that we were gonna get pulled farther and farther apart.

Thomas: Yeah, but you know I made so many mistakes in the past and I hurt a lot of people. Everyone in our family and honestly I wouldn’t blame them if they never wanted to forgive me.

Taylor: I think hope wants to move past all of this. I– I think she knows that she needs you and she’s smart and she– she wants to make sure her line doesn’t get canceled.

Thomas: But there is one more factor in this whole equation and that is liam. The guy pretty much hates me, right? And I– I don’t exactly blame him for– for wanting to protect his wife. But mom, I promise I am not a threat to anyone anymore.

Taylor: No, I know that. I know that and your actions are going to speak for themselves. You’re dedicated to your craft and there is no one better to spread the message of love and acceptance. And that is exactly what hope for the future stands for. Thomas forrester, I believe in you.

Liam: Have you already made up your mind about thomas? Is that what this conversation was always gonna be? You– you letting me know that he’s coming back to hftf?

Hope: No, liam. I would never make a decision like that and not talk to you first. I mean… I know you love me and I get that you’re just trying to look out for me–

Liam: Because of his track record–

Hope: And I haven’t forgotten. But you’re asking me to choose between my career and–

Liam: No, no, no, I’m not. I am not asking that. I’m not asking you to choose that because it’s a false choice, hope. I don’t, I’m sorry, I don’t buy this line from steffy that thomas is the only way forward for hope for the future. And frankly I’m kind of pissed off at her right now, for– for not letting you explore your options.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, we’ve tried. We’ve looked at other designers.

Liam: Okay, all right, okay, how about this? All right fine, this isn’t working. Let me– let me ask you this. Is there anything, anything at all that thomas could do that would make him a deal breaker? Anything that– that would take hiring him off the table forever? Because I’m– I’m getting– I’m getting scared that the answer is no. I’m scared, hope. I’m scared that thomas could sell company secrets to a competitor, that he could– that he could literally throw an intern out of the window of the forrester C.E.O. Office right in front of you and steffy and you would shrug and go, “well, he is a very talented designer.” So you tell me, where do you draw the line? Where?

Hope: And have you maybe ever considered that it might be beneficial to douglas to not see his parents at war? That it might be beneficial to him to see us working well together as a team?

Liam: That would be a good reason if I actually thought it came from you. I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life. And when you don’t, we all pay the price. I don’t know what– I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m exhausted, so I’m begging you again. Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life. Please.

Hope: Okay, fine. All right. I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god. My god, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You’re making the right decision, I promise, I promise.

Sheila: Okay, so what is this exactly? Liam? He finally got you to doubt me? Our relationship? Is that– is that what’s happening here?

Bill: No, no, no. Like I said, I told him that I trust you. You wouldn’t play me. You’re smarter than that. You know who I am, what I’m capable of. You’re dancing with the devil, sheila.

Hope: Wait, so your dad threatened to do something to sheila if she ever crosses him?

Liam: Yeah, pretty much.

Hope: So, that sounds like the old bill.

Liam: I know. Nothing like a homicidal threat to bring back thoughts of warmer, gentler times. But still, just so, it’s so, it’s off. There’s something off about–

Hope: Do you think sheila is still manipulating him?

Liam: I=- see, I don’t know because my dad’s talking like he’s the one in the driver’s seat.

Hope: I guess katie and mom rejecting him did more damage than we thought.

Liam: Well, no, because they’ve rejected him before and he didn’t turn into this, right? So something, something’s different and I don’t know what it is. I just… I just hope one day my dad comes back to us.

Thomas: Brooke, I understand your concern about hope, but that’s not what this is. I’m not trying to manipulate the situation or put myself back into hope’s life. Like, I was as taken aback as you are by steffy coming and asking me to help with the line, but the line is dying and I could save it.

Brooke: There are bigger things at play than hope’s line. You hurt her, thomas. More than once. How can I trust that you’re not gonna hurt her again?

Brooke: Oh, gosh. I’m sorry, taylor, I am. I’m not sure if I can trust your son again.

Taylor: No, that’s fair. It is. I mean, trust is something that thomas knows he has to earn, but he’d like the opportunity to do so.

Brooke: I’m just really afraid of what could happen if hope lets you back in.

Thomas: If she doesn’t let me back in, then steffy’s gonna shelve the line. And I know you don’t want that.

Brooke: No, of course I don’t want that. The line means everything to hope. It would be devastating.

Thomas: Then let me help. I have poured myself into this line. It means so much to me. I want to bring hope’s vision to life. Give me a chance to preserve the line. Give me a chance to redeem myself. Can you do that brooke?

Liam: Hey, you know, we don’t have to talk about this anymore. I mean, we’ve got so much going on with douglas. And now with your line being in jeopardy, maybe we should focus on–

Hope: I’m worried about bill too. And you know, I was hoping that something would snap him out of it and– and make him lose this blind faith in sheila.

Liam: God, we’ve tried everything. We’ve tried berating him. We’ve tried pleading with him. For whatever reason, my dad is just dead set on his relationship with her. And if there is something that’s gonna wake him up, like, I got nothing. I have no idea what that could be.

Sheila: I know exactly who I’m dancing with and what you’re capable of. It’s what drew me to you in the first place.

Bill: And it’s what drew me to you. I’ve given up almost every relationship in my life for you.

Sheila: And I’m aware of that. I’ll never be able to repay you.

Bill: I don’t need you to repay me. I just need you to be open, honest. No secrets. I need your love, your total commitment and your loyalty. With the freestyle libre 2 system,

Liam: I don’t know. I hope soon he opens his eyes and just and does whatever it takes to get sheila out of his life and into prison where she should have been this entire time instead of talking about how much he loves her. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t get it. And I need answers. Like, I need them.

Hope: Well, then go get them.

Liam: I mean, I was literally just over there and I got nothing, so.

Hope: Well, I mean, it’s always worth another shot.

Liam: Really? I mean, you really think because there’s a lot going on here with douglas and hope for the future. I just feel like maybe you need me here for moral support, if nothing else.

Hope: I– I will be fine, I promise. Your dad needs you. Besides, I– I actually have to go back to forrester creations, but we will talk later, I promise.

Liam: Okay, okay.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Wish me luck.

Hope: Luck.

Liam: Like a lot of luck. Like I’m really gonna need it.

Hope: A lot of luck.

Taylor: Brooke, I can see how difficult it is for you to believe thomas and– and if you– if yowalked out thatoor righnow, I would complete understand.E:Ut it’s clear that you are not ready to give thomas another chance and um, we’ll respect that.

Thomas: It’s true.

Brooke: So, you don’t see me as the enemy anymore?

Thomas: Look, therapy has taught me to target the source of my trauma and that’s not you.

Brooke: What if you think I’m in the way of ridge and taylor’s happiness? What then?

Thomas: I love my mother. I’m always gonna choose her. But my father was the reason that he left our family. It was just easier to blame you than to deal with the things I was dealing with. I don’t know how I ever could have gotten here without therapy. I really– I really want to be a better person for all of you, but I really want to make you proud, mom.

Taylor: I am already proud, thomas.

Thomas: I want your forgiveness. And I promise that I’m gonna be a better man, to be a leader for this family, for hope for the future, and most importantly, douglas. So, can you allow me the chance to show that I’m trustworthy so that hope can trust me too?

Sheila: I don’t know what liam said to you. You don’t need to question my loyalty. You changed my life, you saved it. You… you made me feel loved and cherished and that’s something I could have only dreamt of.

Liam: All right, I gotta talk to you again. Alone, please.

Sheila: Of course. I will give you guys some time together, alone.

Liam: Very kind of you.

Bill: You even make it to the first stop sign?

Liam: Yeah, I did, but then I– then I realized I love you and I don’t recognize you. So, I don’t know what’s going on here, dad, but I’m not leaving until I find out.

Bill: I already told you.

Liam: Yes, I know you’ve already told me. You were lonely and you found solace in the worst person on the planet. Let me ask you this. If katie or brooke had taken you back, would you be with sheila right now? See, you’re not living the life you wish you were. So how can you– how can you stand there and tell me that you love her? This isn’t a coffee. It’s a trophy.

Thomas: You know how much I care about hope.

Brooke: But how many times have you hurt her, thomas?

Thomas: Too many. I’ve hurt her over and over again. I have broken her trust again and again. But your daughter is one of the most special people I have ever met. And everything that’s great about her is exemplified in her line. It’s– it’s– it’s so special and important, and– and people need it in their lives. So, please let me save her line. I owe it to her.

Taylor: Hope.

Thomas: Hey, hope. I was just, um, I’m doing what you asked, apologizing to your mother and begging for her forgiveness. Please don’t let the line go, hope. It’s too powerful. It’s too important. People need it in their lives. So, come on, let’s bring it back to life. You can make a real impact.

Bill: You have your own life to worry about, liam. I hear that hope for the future is dying. Douglas is living with steffy. Shouldn’t you be worrying about your own family?

Liam: You’re my family. You are. Listen, dad, I know you’re tired of being berated.

Bill: And yet here you are.

Liam: Yeah, well, you know what? You’re my dad and I love you. And we’ve been through hell and back over the years and I’d like to think that’s brought us a little bit closer.

Bill: It has.

Liam: Okay, then help me understand because if you’re in your right mind and you’re not being manipulated.

Bill: We’ve gone over this.

Liam: Yes, we’ve gone over it and it doesn’t make any sense, okay? Sheila’s an awful person. She’s done dangerous, terrible things.

Bill: So have I.

Liam: No, not– you’re not like her. You’re not a monster. A bully? Yeah, a raging narcissist, absolutely. But you’re nothing like her. Look at me right now, look at me. I’m your son, right? What am I doing? I’m here fighting for you. What do you think sheila’s son is doing right now? He’s fighting to protect his family from her because she’s human poison and she almost killed them.

Bill: That will never happen again.

Liam: Okay, but the fact that you even have to say that shows how ludicrous this whole situation is. Dad, I’m not– I’m not here to lecture you. I just need to understand. How can you love sheila carter? How?

Bill: You know who I am,

what I’m capable of.

You’re dancing with

the devil, sheila.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Sheila: You shouldn’t be calling me.

Deacon: Then why’d you pick up?

Sheila: You know bill is here with liam right now and liam is trying his damnedest to prove that I’m playing him.

Deacon: Well then, I guess you really can’t talk.

Sheila: Oh, deacon.

Deacon: Look–

Sheila: No, there is nothing to talk about. What we did was crazy. Dangerous.

Deacon: It was also hot and sexy.

Sheila: Why are you not grasping what could happen if bill found out about us?

Deacon: I’ve got a pretty good idea what would happen. But I can’t stop thinking about you. And I bet everything that you can’t stop thinking about me either. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Thomas: The numbers are tanking. If we don’t do something soon, it won’t matter how great the designs are.

Brooke: I don’t need to remind you that I used to run forrester creations. I know the importance of the bottom line and the legacy of hope for the future.

Thomas: Then, you understand that we need to do this. I could save the line.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. You could. I do believe that. But you changed the course of my life. You sabotaged my marriage. And I will never forgive you for that.

Thomas: I understand. I’m sorry.

Brooke: I’m not finished. Yes, you have done some terrible things, thomas, but you are an amazing designer and I couldn’t think of anybody better but you to fill that space for hope for the future. But my real concern is my daughter and the obsession that you’ve had with her.

Taylor: Okay, I’m just gonna jump in here. I would never support my son in this if I thought for one second he still had an obsession with hope. I hope as your friend, you believe me.

Brooke: I do believe you. But I want to believe thomas.

Thomas: Brooke, I’m– I promise, I’m turning the page. Let me prove it to you. All of you.

Brooke: Okay, well hope, for this to work, you’re gonna have to trust thomas 100%. And I’m not sure if you can do that or if liam will accept this. But, I think he means it. I think thomas is being sincere. It’s just your decision. Ultimately, thomas working at hope for the future comes down to you. It’s your decision and yours alone.

Sheila: Of course, I can’t stop thinking about you, but I have to. We can’t do this, not anymore. We can’t be in each other’s arms ever again.

Liam: How? How can you love sheila carter? Make me understand it. I mean, I get it. I– I know that you feel let down by katie and brooke, but to turn to sheila right after? So what is it? Is this a reaction to that? Do you love sheila the way that you loved katie and brooke?

Bill: It’s different.

Liam: Okay. I’m gonna take that as a no, it’s not love. Not really. So, what is it then? Self inflicted punishment? Revenge against katie and brooke for hurting you? Whatever it is dad, it’s not worth the pain that you’re causing. Take off the damn necklace and send her ass to prison.

Bill: I got her out for a reason.

Liam: Oh, my god, I can’t hear that anymore. You won’t tell me the reason. So, what’s the point? I can’T. I tried, I tried, really. But I don’t know what this is. It’s not love.

[ Sheila and deacon laughing ]

[ Deacon grunting ]

Sheila: You are the gift that just keeps giving. That was incredible.

Deacon: You’re telling me.

Sheila: Yeah, but… was it really worth the risk? If bill finds out, he could literally kill us.

Liam: Can you really be

certain sheila isn’t

messing with you?

Liam: Hey! How’d your big meeting go?

Hope: Not good.

Liam: Not good? What do you mean not good? What happened?

Hope: Oh, well, um… steffy says that we need to pause production on hope for the future.

Liam: Pause? She said pause?

Hope: Yes. And unless we find a solution, my line could be history.

Brooke: I’m well aware that hope for the future hasn’t been performing well lately, but to put it on pause? It’s in a transitional phase, a dip in numbers is expected.

Taylor: It’s a pretty big dip, though. But there is a solution.

Brooke: Great! What is it?

Taylor: Thomas.

Brooke: Thomas.

Taylor: Brooke, the line was doing great when thomas was lead designer. Everyone loved what he and hope created together. And then he was let go, and the vision changed, and the numbers tanked, so yes, bringing back thomas is the solution.

Liam: I am really surprised that steffy would even consider dropping hope for the future. I mean, your line has been a huge asset to forrester creations. Like–

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yeah, until now. I mean, the numbers are just– they just keep getting worse.

Liam: Okay, they’re not gonna keep getting– listen. You– you just need time, right? You need time. You need time to regroup, you need time to figure out the new direction– you’re– you’re not only gonna revive hftf, you’re gonna make it better than ever. I know this. Okay? I know– I know this.

Sheila: Bill has burned every bridge to keep me out of prison. He has set me up at his– his mansion in bel-air. And yet I– the more time I spend with him, I– I– I can’t even explain it, deacon. He is all over the place. And one minute, he’s gushing to me a– about his life, and– and his past, and he wants me to open up about mine to him as well, and then the next, it’s almost like he struggles to– to even be near me. I don’t know. Sometimes I… I really wonder where I stand with bill.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Brooke: Is hope considering letting thomas return?

Taylor: She seemed to be leaning that way.

Brooke: And I can’t imagine liam would be thrilled about this.

Taylor: No, and we’re all aware of that. Hope’s gonna have a discussion with him before she makes any decision, but– but brooke, you are a huge part of this! You– you– maybe you could just, you know, look past the cps call, you know, and see the bright side?

Brooke: The bright side?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: It cost me my marriage.

Taylor: But you gained a really good friend, and you know, if it wasn’t for thomas, we would still be fighting over ridge, but look at us! Choosing ourselves, and did I mention we’re friends?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. Friends, yeah.

Taylor: Come on, brooke, please. Just find it in your heart to consider thomas, and be open-minded about him.

Thomas: I hope you can. Hey, brooke. I– I hurt you, and I’m sorry, and I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m asking. Not just for me, but for hope and her line.

Liam: Oh, man. Well, sorry you’re facing so many challenges right now, ’cause you’re a good person, and you’re a selfless person. You do kind and selfless things. Exhibit a, when caroline died. You swooped right in and you became exactly the mother that douglas needed, a mother who would love him, and protect him, and teach him right from wrong while also giving him the space to grow and become his own person. That the kind of investment that’s gonna, douglas is– he’s going through a thing right now and so for whatever reason, he feels more comfortable at steffy’s, but just as you’re a hero to me, you’re a hero to him twofoldo to him twofold. The kid’ll be back, promise.

Hope: Liam. I’m– I’m– I’m trying really, really hard to be patient, but it’s like, every day that douglas is gone, I feel like he’s getting further and further away. I just– I worry that in no time, he’s just going to be completely out of reach.

Liam: No, that’s not gonna happen. He’s– he’s basically on an extended playdate with kelly and hayes, and you know something? Look at it this way. It gives us some much needed time with beth, right? And she’s at her cutest possible stage right now. You should have a mother and daughter day, right? You should take her out for ice cream, and eat so much of it that you both get brain freeze. Now, as for hope for the future… it’s gonna work out, my love. And if nothing else, you’ll always have me.

Deacon: Can’t believe spencer talks about his feelings. Hell, I didn’t even think he had any feelings.

Sheila: Oh, he’s got a ton of them. You know, he– he keeps telling me about his past, and he wants me to open up about mine, it’s–

Deacon: Well, you do have an effect on men. Get us to do things we– we never thought we could. And against our better judgment.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Are you complaining?

Deacon: Never. You thinking about spencer? I’ll try not to be offended.

Sheila: Oh, you know, it’s just that I– I’ve been feeling this way even– even before all of this because I know what bill’s drug is with women. I– it– it’s all about the excitement of– of that initial attraction, the endless possibilities, the, you know, I can’t get enough of each other moment. It’s all about the chase. And then she gives in. And she’s his whole world, for that moment. ‘Til the glow wears off and then reality sets in. And he’s looking for his next fix. What happens when I’m that woman? When I’m the one that he wants to be done with? Do I go back to prison?

Deacon: If bill finds out about you and me, prison might be the safer bet.

Sheila: Bill finding out about us is not an option. Because there’s no telling what he’s gonna do. I’m jonathan lawson

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: You know, one of the things that I’ve been working on most in therapy is impulse control, and obviously, I need a little bit more of that, right?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Look, what I did was wrong. Calling cps… it was horribly wrong. I mean, my dad told me that you were gonna call cps, and that just gave me that idea, and I thought, “I can get my family back together.” And it kind of worked, right? Because he left you, and he went to my mom, and– and they were about to get married. The problem is, is that it all started with a lie. And that is horribly wrong. It’s something I never should have done.

Brooke: You see, the problem here is that I’ve heard these heartfelt apologies before. And it does seem like you mean it, but you still cost me my marriage.

Thomas: I did cost you a marriage, but in that, I gained you

Taylor: Me too.

Brooke: I just wish we could have gotten here a little differently, right? You know, I– I wish you didn’t have to manipulate ridge and me, but here we are, so we’ll just deal with it, and we’ll get past it. The question is, what about my daughter? How do I ever trust you with hope again?

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: You know, all this talk about me and how I’m doing, you sure you doing okay?

Liam: I kinda, uh, feel like you have a lot of stuff on your plate already without me piling on, and so, maybe not.

Hope: Ah, well. See, um, that’s the thing about marriage. Kind of makes it so that your stuff is also my stuff, so. Tell me what’s on your mind.

Liam: It’s my dad, of course. Of course, it’s my dad, like… I was just over at the house, and the creep factor is off the charts.

Hope: Sheila?

Liam: Yeah, of course sheila. I don’t get it. I don’t get the whole relationship with sheila carter. That like– what is he doing?

Hope: Well, according to your dad, he’s in love and I take it that you’re not buying it.

Liam: Honestly, I don’t know what my dad feels for sheila.

[ Phone dinging ]

Deacon: Let me guess.

Sheila: He wants to know where I am.

Deacon: You gonna respond to him?

Sheila: No, I am not used to answering to anyone.

Deacon: Hell of a way to live your life.

Sheila: Well, what am I supposed to do, deacon? What, am I– am I just supposed to leave? Because that is not an option. You know the reality is– is bill put everything on the line to keep me out of prison. Underestimating him would be dangerous. I– if– if bill were to find out what the two of us did here today, it– I could go back to prison, or worse! I’m serious, deacon.

Deacon: I’m– I’m dead serious, too, I– sorry, it’s–

Sheila: This is not a joke! Bill can never know what happened here today. You’ve got to swear that to me!

Deacon: I– I–

Sheila: Swear it to me! Swear it to me!

Deacon: I– I swear it! I sw– it’s okay. I swear it. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Brooke: The damage you caused with the cps call, it didn’t just hurt taylor and ridge and me, it also hurt my daughter. Not because she lost you as a lead designer, but because she considered you a friend. And she worked really hard to trust you again, thomas. And you betrayed her faith. And now you just want to come back to work for hope for the future as a lead designer and act like none of this ever happened?

Thomas: I– I do want to come back and work with hope again. And I– look, I don’t– I don’t blame you for being skeptical about my apologies. Yeah, I want to prove to everyone that I’m a better man, but most importantly, my son. I love him more than anything in the world, and I want to make sure that he knows that I am the kind of man that he can look up to.

Taylor: You know what I’ve learned? I’ve– I’ve learned that everyone makes mistakes, right? Doesn’t mean that they have to pay for those mistakes for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices, and it doesn’t mean they’re bad. It means they’re human.

Brooke: Okay, so if you work with hope, you won’t be obsessed with her, ’cause your mom and I both agree, your fixation on my daughter has to be over, or there’s nothing more to discuss.

Hope: Bill already has put a lot on the line for sheila. I mean, he’s risking all of his relationships, so there must be some feelings there.

Liam: Yeah, he– he says that his feelings for sheila are genuine, but when I press him on it, he gets defensive.

Hope: So, do you think sheila is changing him, or–

Liam: I think– I think I’m frustrated, is what I think. I mean, the guy’s been basically absent from his own life, he’s been working from home. What does that tell you? And it’s just that the two of them, those personalities alone in that house together? It’s like darkness upon darkness. It is not healthy.

Hope: And bill’s not worried at all. I mean, this is sheila we’re talking about, she usually has an agenda.

Liam: I said the same thing, but um, now I’m kind of convinced it’s the other way around, and maybe sheila’s the one who should be a little worried.

Hope: What does that mean?

Liam: Let’s just say my dad made it pretty clear that if sheila ever crosses him, she’ll regret it.

Sheila: Hey, handsome.

Bill: Where have you been?

Sheila: Rodeo.

Bill: No bags?

Sheila: No, it’s– it’s not really about the shopping, it’s being able to go in and out of stores freely as I choose. I have you to thank for that. How’d your visit go with liam?

Bill: About what you’d expect.

Sheila: I really wish liam and wyatt would at least try to accept me. And who knows, maybe one day. I will never come between you and your boys. Can I get you a drink?

Bill: Sure.

Sheila: ‘Kay. Why are you looking at me that way?

Bill: Something liam said.

Sheila: What was that?

Bill: That I can’t trust you. That you’re playing me.

Sheila: What did you say?

Bill: Told him the truth. We’re open with each other. We tell each other everything. That’s why I trust you. Besides, liam knows, you know, everyone knows that nobody betrays me and gets away with it. Nobody.

Liam: So, you’re saying sheila owes you, right? You– you– you got her out of jail, and now she’s not gonna sabotage herself. But dad, that’s– that’s what she does, it’s exactly what she did when she went after steffy, when she shot her own son, so I mean, come on!

Bill: Betraying me in any way would be a huge mistake. It won’t end well for sheila.

Taylor: You know you did a wonderful thing for your brother, and his career.

Steffy: Hope for the future just isn’t the same without thomas’s designs. We need him back.

Taylor: And do you know how much he needs this?

Steffy: Hope better say yes.

Hope: So steffy has basically given me two options. Either work with you or lose the line.

Thomas: Is that something you could do? Could you work with me again?

Hope: Well, I want to save my line.

Thomas: I’ll make it my priority, but that only works if we’re a team, and that’s what make us so special. It’s my talent and your vision. Us together. So come on, hope. Please. Can you trust me again?

Hope: Thomas, I… I don’t even know if I can trust myself right now. I mean, look at my life! I could potentially lose my line, already lost our son–

Thomas: Whoa, that’s the– that was my fault, okay? I’m the one who forced us into court.

Hope: Yeah, and douglas chose to go live with steffy.

Thomas: Right, because he didn’t want to be caught in the middle between us. Hope, this could be a wonderful change for– for him to see his parents working together and collaborating again. I’m– I’m not– not trying to use the douglas situation to my benefit, I’m just– I’m just saying that, well, this isn’t just a chance for us to renew our careers. It’s a chance to be role models to our son.

Taylor: I wonder what’s going on in there.

Steffy: Hard to say.

Taylor: Ugh. Well, what do you think?

Steffy: It’s the right move. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have suggested it. Hope and thomas are a great team. She needs to have him back on her line. But it is– it’s complicated because if he does come back on board, I have to wonder. How’s liam gonna react? Is he gonna be okay with it?

Liam: Listen, I’m all for second chances, but not everybody deserves one. You– you’ve basically written sheila a blank check, and she’s gonna do whatever the hell she wants with it.

Bill: Nobody gets a blank check from me, liam, and you know that as well as anyone.

Liam: Yeah, I do. Well? Good, because you’ve already sacrificed a lot for her.

Bill: It’s worth it.

Liam: How? I mean, I– I– I get that you– you– you think you’re getting something ou– out of this relationship, but can you honestly tell me there’s a future here? Honestly?

[ Deacon gasping ]

[ Sheila panting ]

In a world, where dry

eye symptoms…

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yup, thank you. Thank you for the heads up. ‘Kay.

Thomas: Charlie?

Hope: Uh-huh. He wanted me to know that you were in the building.

Thomas: I’m glad he’s looking out for you.

Hope: Thomas, I– I know that you’re not a danger to me. Sadly, the person you hurt the most is yourself.

Thomas: I didn’t want to hurt anyone, hope, I– I wasn’t even thinking about what I was doing. I got tunnel vision. I just wanted my parents to be together. I didn’t think about who that was gonna hurt, especially the peop that are cles

m m? And– and– and my family, and you. You’re all right to want me to pay for it.

Hope: No. No, it’s not– thomas, I just want you to feel remorse, to take accountability, I mean, to understand that there are just some things you can’t do!

Thomas: I understand that, and I am so sorry.

Hope: I want to believe that.

Thomas: But I have done things like this before.

Hope: Yes. You’ve hurt me. You’ve hurt douglas. And you’ve hurt your own family. And look, I get that today, that this– this whole thing was not some setup, that you are telling the truth.

Thomas: I am.

Hope: So what am– what am I supposed to do, thomas? How am I supposed to believe you again? I mean, do you really want things to be different?

Thomas: Yes.

Taylor: You know, I think it’s a good sign that– that hope and thomas are still in there talking.

Steffy: Maybe. But this isn’t a simple yes or no for hope. As much as she wants to save her line, having thomas back might be a non-starter. For many reasons.

Taylor: Yeah, liam probably being the biggest one.

Steffy: Oh, yes, he is very protective of hope and their family.

Taylor: Yeah, he certainly wouldn’t encourage hope to say yes.

Steffy: Oh, god, I can’t imagine that happening.

Taylor: But if hope did say yes… I think it might cause some problems in their marriage.

Liam: I just, I don’t get it. Why would you want to be with someone you know you can’t trust?

Bill: I told you. No one betrays me.

Liam: What makes you think sheila won’t try? Because she values her freedom? That’s self-preservation. That’s not loyalty. The– everything you’ve given to this woman, good god! I mean, you’ve protected her, you’ve given her run of the house, you– you have prioritized her over everyone. Everyone in your life. What’s the end game here, dad? Where is this going?

Sheila: You know if bill ever found out, he already hates you, deacon.

Deacon: Really? I hate him, too. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Hope: You understand where I’m coming from?

Thomas: You have every reason to be skeptical, but I have been working on myself. I am actually working with a professional now. Not just my mom, as– as great as she is, but someone who’s purely objective. Like you– you remember, just before I made this last mistake, that we were working so well together! And I hope we can again.

Hope: You are asking me to take a very big risk here.

Thomas: I am, but I promise, I will not let you down.

[ Knocking at door ]

Hope: Come in!

Steffy: Sorry to interrupt, but if you two are gonna take a while, I need my tablet.

Taylor: So, um… any news?

Thomas: Well, she hasn’t turned me down yet.

Steffy: That’s good. I’m not trying to put pressure on you, but I’m gonna have to take action on hope for the future. If it’s not gonna happen, I need to know.

Hope: Uh, look, I’m still trying to wrap my head around all this. I was not expecting this today. But thomas, the point you made earlier about douglas and how much it would mean to our son to see us working well together? I mean, something to consider.

Taylor: He– he loves coming here and watching you both work together.

Steffy: Yeah, he does, and he would be thrilled. But there are other, uh, outside factors to consider. This decision will affect your family, especially liam. So, if you are willing to bring thomas back on board at hope for the future, how do you think liam will react to this?

Liam: You’ve been telling everybody that sheila carter’s the love of your life, but is that even true? Or are you just doing this to get a reaction? To prove that you don’t need anyone, and you can bend the whole world to your will? I mean, be honest, is that why you started wearing the sword necklace again? Just to show what you’re capable of? That you can do things that mere mortals just can’t? Like taming sheila carter?

Bill: I didn’t tame her.

Liam: Well, good, I’m glad you recognize that, ’cause she’s a lunatic and she can’t be controlled.

Bill: Neither can I.

Liam: There you are. That’s my dad. That’s the dollar bill spencer we all know and love. What the hell happened to him?

Bill: I don’t know what you mean.

Liam: You don’t know what I– it’s the whole– it’s the stoic thing. Pretending like– like we don’t know you, like we couldn’t possibly understand this bizarre relationship you have, with– with sheila. Like– like, you’re giving us all the cold shoulder. I get why you would be fed up! I get why you would be tired of being rejected and lectured. You’re the boss. You’re the one who makes the rules, and here you are, and you’re back in control, and there is nothing that any of us can do about it. Is that what this is? Is this just dollar bill spencer flexing his muscles? I don’t think so! I wish it were true, but… you wouldn’t throw everything away just to prove a point. You’re more pragmatic than that. Sheila matters, I just… I don’t know why.

Deacon: Oh!

[ Sheila laughing ] Oh, my god. Oh. I am so glad you came by.

Sheila: Me, too. To just hold you in my arms again, even– even if I can’t stay.

Deacon: We’re just gonna have to make the most of the time we have.

Sheila: Oh, god. Oh.

Deacon: You are crazy. I never met a woman like you before. Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Steffy: I imagine you’ll want to talk to liam if you’re considering working with thomas again.

Hope: Oh. Yep, that is definitely a discussion that will need to happen.

Thomas: So, you’re not ruling it out?

Hope: Thomas, this is a big decision that affects many people in my life, and while yes, there is douglas to consider, there is also my mom, and liam, and they are going to have some very strong opinions on the matter.

Taylor: But they know how much hope for the future means to you, so.

Hope: Yeah, but still.

Thomas: What can I do?

Hope: Apologize. Try to get my mom to forgive you.

Thomas: Okay. If I get your mom to forgive me, will you say yes?

Hope: I will have much more to think about, but in the meantime, I think maybe you should go talk to my mom. I will talk to liam. And then we’ll see.

Liam: Dad, it’s just us. If– if– if there’s more going on here with sheila, it’s me. You can tell me.

Bill: I don’t know what you want me to say, son.

Liam: Oh, god! The truth, dad! Damn it, just the truth! What– what is your connection to her? What is it, really? Because you’re– you are not acting like yourself, and you haven’t been since this whole crazy saga with sheila started! Just– okay, all r– okay, just… promise me you don’t have blinders on, if nothing else. Promise me that you’re keeping an eye on her.

Deacon: So, that just happened.

Sheila: What was it you were saying about making the most of every moment we had?

Deacon: Oh, god, please. Let me catch my breath.

Sheila: Oh, me too, I just– yes, this feels so good, too.

Deacon: Yeah. You know, I think it’s– I think it’s ’cause when we’re together, we have something that neither of us have when we’re alone, it’s just… a sense of belonging, you know? A feeling of being home.

Sheila: I just– I needed to relax and let go a little.

Deacon: A little!

Sheila: I just, I wanted to connect with you, someone I’m close to.

Deacon: Very close. Close enough to know exactly what you’re thinking.

Sheila: Oh, what the– what the hell did I just do? Bill is the reason that I’m a free woman right now. He is the only thing standing between myself and prison.

Deacon: Sheila, you’re worried about prison? Listen to me. We’re talking about a guy that blew up a building with his kid in it. If he finds out about us, prison’s gonna be the least of our worries. If we go forward, we have to go into this eyes wide open, no delusions about who this guy is because he is dangerous. He thinks of himself like some kind of a mob boss, or a– a kingpin or something, and he will act accordingly.

Sheila: All he’s ever asked for is for me to be honest and I haven’t been. Not about this, not about you. Deacon, he can never know that– that– that this just happened.

Deacon: Oh, no, no, no.

Sheila: He can’t! He could kill me. He could kill us both.
