[ Upbeat music ]

Taylor: Hey, thanks for treating me to lunch.

Brooke: Of course. My pleasure.

[ Brooke sighing ] Steffy and finn meeting with the judge has me a little bit anxious.

Taylor: Yeah, me too. But the good thing is sheila’s been caught. She is going down. There is no way she’s going to walk free again.

Brooke: Maybe it’ll be good for steffy and finn. They’ll have some sort of closure. They’ll be able to go on record and talk about the pain and suffering that sheila inflicted on them.

Taylor: Yeah. I hope it’s cathartic for both of them. I really do. Once the judge has their testimony, it’s the end of the road for poor, misunderstood sheila carter.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Mcmullen: I’ve called you all here today to reaffirm the charges that have been brought forth against ms. Carter. This is a– a highly unusual case and I just want to make sure everything is in order.

So, dr. Finnegan,

what say you?

Are you prepared to provide

testimony and move forward

with the case?

B

Taylor: Mm. Mm-hm.

Brooke: Mm-hm?

Taylor: Mm-hm. Who would’ve ever thought taylor hayes and brooke logan spending an afternoon together?

Brooke: Not because we have to, but because we want to.

Taylor: That’s right.

Brooke: You know, all that anger we had directed at each other, now we can put that somewhere else. Into sheila.

Taylor: Yes! Into sheila because she’s the actual villain, right? We were just– we were just caught in a toxic cycle and lots of family drama.

Brooke: Mm-hm. The attack was coming from the outside. Sheila carter was the threat to our safety and our happiness.

Taylor: Yeah, and you know what? Now, we can finally celebrate because we will never be victims of sheila carter ever again.

Mcmullen: You may proceed, dr. Finnegan.

Bill: The terms of my

deal remain the same:

Sheila’s freedom for

taylor’s freedom.

Mcmullen: We’re waiting, dr. Finnegan. Is there a problem?

Finn: Uh, your honor, I… have nothing to say.

Bill: Atta boy. Why give your family just any eggs

Brooke: We are a family of survivors.

Taylor: Yes, we are.

Brooke: We are.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We’ve survived a lot. We’ve survived sheila, we’ve survived years of going back and forth with ridge.

Taylor: How are you really doing with all of that? You know, I mean, I know that you’re used to having someone in your life.

Brooke: Hm. Yeah, that is true. I look back at certain phases and I think, “why was I so needy?”

Taylor: Hm.

Brooke: I’ve come to realize I’m happier putting myself first and whatever that may look like from here on out.

Taylor: We really are redefining ourselves.

Brooke: We are. Redefining, evolving, maturing.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: Yeah, we’re– we’re really evolving. It feels so good, you know? Kind of going through a growth spurt.

Brooke: Mm-hm. So, you’re really not thinking about ridge, waiting for him to come back?

Taylor: Oh, um, he left me at the altar for the last time. Oh, gosh, you know. I get that he had to go away and process, but man, you know, it left a mark, it really did. It’s what? A couple weeks later and it still stings.

Brooke: I’m sure it was painful.

Taylor: It was a painful situation all around.

Brooke: It was hard on ridge too.

Taylor: I’m just glad that he’s doing some soul searching.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s about time.

Taylor: Yes, it’s about time.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: I think that we’re all taking a step back and reevaluating our lives.

Taylor: Yeah. So, what is next on the horizon for you, brooke logan?

Brooke: Oh, uh…

Taylor: Like, you know, dating?

Brooke: Dating? No, no.

Taylor: Bill spencer maybe. I don’t know. He’s– he’s always had such a thing for you and you guys were good together, you know. I mean, he– he seems like he’s like this lone wolf kind of guy, but he always likes to have a woman in his life.

Brooke: Oh, well, it certainly isn’t me and it certainly isn’t katie. And if there is a woman in bill’s life, I certainly don’t know who it is.

Mcmullen: You have nothing to say?

Finn: No.

Mcmullen: Am I to understand that you are no longer willing to testify?

Finn: That’s correct.

Mcmullen: Are– are you no longer seeking to press charges against the defendant? You changed your mind?

Finn: Yes.

Mcmullen: Well, all right then. It’s time for ms. Forrester–

Sheila: If I could have a moment, please, to say a few words, your honor.

Attorney: As your attorney, I strongly advise–

Sheila: I would only take a few minutes, please.

Mcmullen: Counsel?

Attorney: My client would

like to address you directly.

Mcmullen: All right. I’ll allow it. Go ahead, ms. Carter.

Sheila: Thank you. Judge mcmullen, we all know why we’re here today. It’s because of me. My actions, my mistakes and I– I never meant to hurt you, finn or steffy. I love you more than anything, finn, and I am so proud of the man that you have become and the father that you are to my beautiful grandson, hayes. Finn, I… I know how much you adore steffy, and steffy, I– I see the joy and the– the love that you have brought to my son’s life and I am forever indebted to you for that. And the beautiful grandson that you gave me. I am your mother-in-law. I am and always will be family. I know how close you are and how loyal you are to your mother, and I know what a great role model taylor has been for you all these years. She’s an incredible woman a woman with an immaculate reputation. When I first came to los angeles, she’s the one person that gave me a chance. She– she gave me the opportunity to show you that I deserved a place in this family, and I will never forget that. All I want is for you and finn and your family to be happy. I just want the best for you. That’s it, I’m– thank you for allowing me to say a few words today, your honor.

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester, are you ready? #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: Oh, wow.

Taylor: Hold on, can you get this?

Brooke: Oh, nice.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. A forrester original.

Brooke: Thank you for being my fit model.

Taylor: No, you’re welcome. This is beautiful.

Brooke: Woo, woo!

Taylor: Wheesh. Yes?

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: You look flawless, taylor.

Taylor: Thank you.

Brooke: You always do.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. Thank you. I definitely have my fair share of sweatpants moments too.

Brooke: Oh, I’m sure you look amazing in your sweatpants. It’s– it’s so annoying.

Taylor: Oh, stop. Says the quintessential california woman. Every man’s dream.

Brooke: Well, not every man’S.

Taylor: Mm. Listen, ridge should be lucky to have either of us.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: I guess we should both be proud of everything we’ve accomplished.

Taylor: Yes. And there’s more to come. I can feel it.

Brooke: Okay, I just need more of that energy.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Which is hard to drum up sometimes.

Taylor: I know, but you know what? With age comes wisdom. And back aches. Listen, I– I know that we’re doing the right thing by– by just choosing ourselves, but that’s also going to mean time alone.

Brooke: Yeah, okay. Well, speaking of time alone.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Brooke: How about we have a girls’ night? Just bring over popcorn and whatever else and we’ll just binge watch some shows.

Taylor: That sounds amazing. I am in. Yes.

Brooke: Okay.

Taylor: I’d love that.

Brooke: I know I said this before, but I am happy that you came over today.

Taylor: I am too. You know, it’s nice to have you here with me, on this journey, and especially everything that’s going on with sheila, I think you might be the only one who understands what a liability she’s been.

Brooke: I really wonder what’s going on over there at the courthouse.

Taylor: Oh, I bet it’s a celebration for one side. With steffy and finn’s testimony, this case is a slam dunk.

Brooke: Oh, yes!

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester.

Bill: Come on.

Steffy: Your honor… you say you’re sorry for hurting us, you claim to love us, that we’re family. That’s something I try to wipe from my mind every single day. You’re not my mother-in-law. You’re not a friend. You have no idea the pain you caused me and my family.

You say you respect and

admire my mother.

Sheila: And I do, steffy.

I want taylor’s happiness

and I know you do too.

Attorney: Your honor, this is highly unorthodox.

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester, I am waiting.

Steffy: Um… by being here today, I was, um… I was hoping to gain some closure. To finally feel that justice would be served. I’m still hoping that’s the case. Whether sheila is in prison because of finn and me or not. But as long as sheila is alive, she will always haunt us and my memories. But you will play no part in my future. None whatsoever, whether you pay for your crimes or not. No words have the power to erase what you’ve done to us. None. That’s all I have to say.

Mcmullen: That’s it? No testimony, no… nothing in regards to the charges that have been brought forth on ms. Carter? Nothing?

Steffy: No. I have nothing else to say. I am no longer pressing charges.

Finn: You did the right thing.

Steffy: It’s fine. Our charges aren’t the only ones necessary to convict her. We have enough evidence to put her behind bars for many years to come.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

Taylor: Thank you again for a lovely lunch.

Brooke: Oh, of course. I’m already looking forwards to our girls’ night.

Taylor: I am too. And I am free anytime, by the way. My schedule is wide open.

Brooke: I think mine’s pretty clear too.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. I need to check on a patient.

Brooke: Oh, okay.

Taylor: I’ve been here for a while, and then I’m going to race over to steffy and finn’s to congratulate them on their triumph today! The nightmare of sheila carter is finally over.

Brooke: Oh, yes! I am so happy for you and your family. Oh.

Taylor: Thank you.

Mcmullen: I just want

to be certain that both

ms. Forrester and

dr. Finnegan are choosing

not to testify and further rescinding the charges that were previously brought against ms. Carter. Is that correct?

Finn: Yes, your honor.

Steffy: Yes. But there are other charges against sheila. Major charges. I’m confident she won’t be a free woman for a very long time.

Mcmullen: Actually, there’s been some new evidence that has been brought to my attention recently. Some really compelling evidence. Ms. Carter was previously suspected of escaping custody. However, I have a sworn affidavit from a former corrections officer who was on duty that day, a mr. Mike guthrie.

Mr. Guthrie has stated

that he coerced ms. Carter

and removed her from her

jail cell against her will.

Finn: What?

Steffy: Wait, you’re saying that sheila was kidnapped by mike guthrie?

Mcmullen: That is correct.

Finn: With all due respect, you– how does someone get kidnapped out of prison?

Mcmullen: I had the same question, but there’s indisputable video footage which corroborates mr. Guthrie’s story. So, unfortunately, this is just a failure of our penal system.

Steffy: What– what are you talking about? I don’t understand what that means.

Mcmullen: Since there was no further charges brought forward and both of you refused to testify, along with dropping your own charges, which I will notify the state about, I have no other choice but to release ms. Carter.

Finn: Release?

Steffy: You can’t do that.

Mcmullen: Case dismissed. That’s it for today.

Please remove ms. Carter’s

handcuffs and escort her

from my chambers.

She’s free to go.

Steffy: No, no, no, no. This is– this is wrong.

Finn: Your honor.

Steffy: She– sheila’s dangerous, she faked her own death, she hid from the police. This is wrong! She can’t be free! No, you have to do something, no! You can’t do this.

Taylor: Yeah, well today is the big day, we’re finally going to be rid of sheila forever. What time are you meeting with the judge?

Steffy: Um, ah, it’s later than we thought. We’re going to leave right after you.

Taylor: Okay, I’ll get out of here. But don’t forget what baker said. Your testimony’s are going to be crucial in sheila being put away forever. You know, I am so proud of you. I’m so proud of both of you. I know this isn’t easy. I know, but it’s necessary. Justice will be served and sheila will be locked up where she belongs.

Bill: So, we’re all set then? Good.

Sheila: I’m confused though, my attorney didn’t say anything about a meeting before the hearing today. Why does he want to see me?

Guard 1: It’s not your attorney who wants an audience with your majesty.

[ Buzzing ]Th

Deacon: I would’ve been here sooner but I just got back from out of town. We can talk about that later.

Guards 1: Sit. Now, you both know the rules. No touching or it’s back to your cell.

[ Buzzing ]

Deacon: God, I hate to see you in here, back behind bars, handcuffed. Sheila, I’m so sorry.

Sheila: You don’t need to be sorry. And this had nothing to do with you.

Deacon: Yeah, I know, but it’s like all the times that I told you that this is where you’d wind up, that it was only a matter of time. I got to admit, there was a– there was a little part of me that was betting that you were going to beat the odds.

Sheila: Maybe I have.

Deacon: Sweetheart, take a look around. This place is locked up tighter than fort knox. Houdini, on his best day, couldn’t escape.

Sheila: Yeah, I’m aware.

Deacon: So what? That means that you’ve just accepted the fact that you’re going to be in prison for a long time?

Taylor: Hey there, did you miss me?

Brooke: Taylor, you’re back.

Taylor: I just got in last night. How are you?

Brooke: Happy to see you.

Taylor: Happy to see you, too. Uh, a lot has changed since I’ve been gone.

Brooke: Oh, yes. If you’re talking about sheila.

Taylor: Yeah, I was– I was so happy when steffy called me and told me about sheila’s arrest.

Brooke: I feel the same.

Taylor: You know, I– I wasn’t sure that this day would ever come, ever. But here we are. Today is the day. Sheila is in custody, and she’s finally going to pay for all the terrible things she’s done.

Sheila: I want to thank you for coming to see me. I know this isn’t your favorite place to be.

Deacon: Yeah well, that’s true. I’ve been thinking about you a lot, you know, since you were arrested. By the way, thanks for not ratting me out.

Sheila: After everything you did for me, I really, I– I’m never going to be able to repay you.

Deacon: You already have by not saying anything. So, how they treating you in here?

Sheila: Like royalty.

Deacon: It’s good to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. But I’m worried about you.

Sheila: That’s sweet. I’m gonna be okay.

Deacon: Still hoping for a miracle, huh?

Sheila: Yeah, well, you never know.

Deacon: Wow, you know, I expected to come here and find you down in the dumps, and you’re not. Unless this is all an act for my benefit.

Sheila: No. No, it’s not an act.

Deacon: Okay, then I’d like to ask you a question. What the hell were you doing going to spencer’s house that night? You knew the minute that he saw you, he’d call the cops.

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Are you?

Finn: Well, neither one of us got much sleep last night.

Steffy: For good reason. If we don’t go along with bill, my mom goes to jail. And if we do, sheila’s free. It’s– it’s unthinkable.

Finn: I just still will never understand. Like, how did sheila get to bill in this way?

Steffy: I don’t know. And I honestly, I don’t care if– if bill feels abandoned and hurt. To allow someone like sheila carter into his life. I mean, you heard my mom, she is so excited about her future. My god, all this could be taken away if we agree to testify against sheila today.

Without the right start

to your day…

Taylor: I mean, of all the possible scenarios, bill was the one that apprehended sheila.

Brooke: I know, but then bill does love playing the hero.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: Well, you know, he wasn’t really playing this time because sheila showed up at his house and he immediately turned her in. In my book, that’s a real hero.

Brooke: Mine, too.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: You know, katie went over to see him and to tell him how grateful we all are for what he did.

Taylor: Oh, that’s sweet. I’m sure he appreciated that.

Brooke: Yeah, you’d think so.

Taylor: But he didn’t?

Brooke: Katie said he seemed genuinely surprised that she was there to thank him. Almost like he’s an afterthought. Like, we really don’t care about him. Which is not true.

Taylor: Oh, of course not. I’m sorry about that, I– I’m not close with bill spencer, you know, given our complicated history and all. But, you know, I hope whatever it is, I hope it works out. You know, it’s because of bill that– that sheila’s going to be out of our lives, especially after steffy and finn talk to the judge today.

Steffy: It’s my dad. He wants to be there with us today.

Finn: What did you tell him?

Steffy: Not to come. He’s been traveling, doing some soul searching, especially after what happened with my mom and brooke. Besides, he should not be here. Bill hates my dad, and if he is here it’s just going to incite bill to–

Finn: No, that’s– that’s the last thing we need.

Steffy: Yeah, exactly.

Finn: Do you think he’s just going to do as you ask?

Steffy: You know my dad. He supports his family, but since he thinks he already knows what we’re going to say, he’s not pushing to be here.

Finn: Well, do we know what we’re going to say? Because I’ve got to tell you, steffy, as much as I love you and your mother, the thought of caving to spencer, not testifying to make sure sheila remains behind bars. That’s what I’m struggling with here.

Steffy: I know, I am so sorry I put you in this position.

Finn: No, they… you didn’t put me in this position. Spencer did. He can call it whatever he wants, but it’s still blackmail and blackmailing my wife, threatening to throw her mother in jail. That’s– I don’t know how I’ll ever look like that guy without total contempt, no matter what we say today.

Steffy: I know and we should, uh, we should get going. I know this is wishful thinking, but there’s still some time for bill to come to his senses and realize what he’s doing is wrong. No one deserves to get justice served more than sheila carter.

Deacon: Seriously, what were you thinking? Hightailing it to bill spencer’s place, asking him for help? I mean, did you honestly think there was a snowball’s chance in hell that that would even happen? All right, look, it doesn’t matter. All right, what’s done is done. What matters is– is what happens going forward, right? I hear you’re going to see the judge later today.

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: You gotta to be dreading that. Oh, come on sheila, you don’t have to put on a brave face for me. Finn and steffy, they’re going to make you out to be hannibal lecter’s spawn. They are going to detail every horrible thing that you did to their families. I just want you to know that you’re not alone. I’m not going to abandon you, even if everyone else has. I mean, there’s not much that I can do with you in here. Come visit you, you know. I’ll keep you up on what’s going on in the outside, and we’ll have to do it on the down low, but… I know that you said that– that this isn’t over. That the best was yet to come. But, I’m afraid this is the end of the line. Postmenopausal women with hr+ her2-

Sheila: I can see and hear your concern. And it’s– it’s sweet. But it’s like I said before, deacon. Everyone has always underestimated me.

Deacon: Yeah, including yours truly, at first. But sheila, I mean, you’re back behind bars. You’re going to be seeing the judge in a few. And look… I don’t wanna– I don’t want to make things more difficult. Okay, that’s not why I came.

Sheila: But then, why– why don’t you tell me. Why did you come?

Deacon: I had to see you. I had to tell you that I– I really enjoyed our time together. And I care about you.

Sheila: I care about you, too. Who knows, I mean, if– if things had been different. Maybe we would’ve had a chance.

Guard 1: Okay, you two, got to wrap it up.

Deacon: Listen, despite this brave facade, I know you’ve got to be scared. I know because I’ve been where you are. I’ve been locked up. I’ve been away from the people that I love, I know. Look, I’m gonna come visit you so you don’t feel so alone. Sheila, I’m never gonna turn my back on you, I promise.

Guard 1: Rise.

[ Buzzing ]

Sheila: Bye.

Deacon: Bye.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Finn: Look, the judge is on his way. What are we gonna do?

Steffy: I know what I want to do. I want sheila in jail for the rest of her life. But how can I make this happen? How can I risk my mother’s freedom? My god, if she knew what bill was doing right now…

Finn: By blackmailing us?

Steffy: My mom would sacrifice herself. She would go straight to the police. She would confess what she did to bill all those years ago. Bill, what are you doing here?

Bill: Hoping to put this behind us. Remind you of our deal.

Finn: Yeah, that’s all we’ve been thinking about for days.

Steffy: We hate that you’re putting us in this position.

Bill: Please keep your voices down and watch what you’re saying.

Finn: Look, even if steffy and I do what you want. What about my mother? Sheila terrorized her, ran her off the road, tried to kill her. She can just come forward–

Bill: Lee is going to have to be kept quiet. Now let’s not forget that she did sneak you out of a hospital and falsify medical records. That could have a negative impact on her career, not to mention jeopardizing her freedom.

Finn: So now you’re threatening my mother, too.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that sheila escaped prison? One way or the other she’s going to do the time.

Bill: All I’m telling you is I don’t want to hear a word out of you and finn today.

Steffy: You think you can handle this? This is impossible.

Bill: We should leave before the judge gets here. Remember, sheila’s freedom for your mother’s freedom. Do you like…

Taylor: I– I wish today was open to the public.

Brooke: I know.

Taylor: You know, I just– I just want to see sheila’s face. I want to see her face when they haul her away.

Brooke: Me, too. When I think of the immense heartache and suffering that she’s brought to all of our families, the fear, the fear that we’ve had to live with. I mean, I’m surprised we survived it all.

Taylor: Yeah, you know, I’ve– I’ve seen a lot of patients with varying degrees of challenges through my career, but, you know, I’ve treated them all successfully. Some who are even labeled untreatable. But sheila carter is– she actually is untreatable because she doesn’t think she needs to be treated. She doesn’t think anything’s wrong with her. I’m just really glad that she’s going to be locked away for the rest of her life, you know. Maybe she’ll get some help there. Just feels good to know that she’ll be– she’ll be put away securely, away from all of us. All thanks to steffy and finn.

Finn: Look, it’s almost time. We have to decide what we’re going to do.

Steffy: You heard bill. He’s not budging. Either we do what he wants, or… oh, my god, the man has lost it. He wants us to do unthinkable things. I mean, my mom made one mistake and she regrets it. But it pales in comparison to all the evil things sheila has done.

Sheila: Hello finn. Hello, steffy. Not even a hi?

Counsellor: Miss carter, I would advise you to keep your comments to yourself.

Sheila: We were asked to review my case before trial. I just hope you do what’s best for everyone, you both know why.

Judge: Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I apologize. Please be seated. I’m judge mcmillan. As I’m sure you’re all aware that we’re here today in this closed session to gather testimony and information regarding the case pertaining to a miss sheila carter. Does the counselor have any opening remarks?

Counsellor: No, your honor.

Judge: Very well, then. Um… thank you for being here today, dr. Finnegan. Ms. Forrester. Your testimony, along with your statements today will prove very crucial in this case. I’d like to begin with you, dr. Finnegan. From what I understand, ms. Carter, is your biological mother, a fact that you were unaware of until a year or so ago. Is that correct?

Finn: Uh, yes.

Judge: All right. Let’s get started doctor. Are you ready to proceed with the case regarding miss sheila carter?

Steffy: Hmm. You have no idea how much I needed this.

Finn: Actually, I think I do. In fact, I will hold you as long as you need. I’ll hold you until this entire nightmare’s over.

Steffy: Will it be? Or is sheila gonna be in our lives forever?

Finn: Well, sheila’s in custody, right? Maybe we’ll luck out.

Steffy: You heard bill what he’ll do if she doesn’t get released.

Finn: Would he, though? After all this time, he would come forward about what your mom did and turn her in.

Steffy: He’s determined to help sheila resorting to blackmail. I mean, there are so many women he could choose from, women who actually add to his life, fulfill him. And who does he turn to? Sheila. Sheila carter.

Sheila: Are you sure it’s safe to talk?

Bill: I have taken care of everything, but nothing is guaranteed. So I wanna err on the side of caution. Keep your voice down and keep your distance.

Sheila: Yeah. But if we have this room to ourselves.

Bill: That’s the very opposite of what I just said. And it makes me wonder if you’re trying to avoid an answer.

Sheila: What?

Bill: I need to know if this is real.

Sheila: I can’t believe you even feel you have to ask that.

Bill: I have felt like this before, only to be let down. I’ll not be used. Is that what you’re doing, sheila? Are you using me?

[ Bag zipping ]

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Oh, my.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Yeah. I forgot to lock that again.

Katie: Ah, and let me guess, you were working out again?

Carter: Guilty as charged.

Katie: Oh, oh, hang on, hang on. Before you button up, there’s something you need to do first.

Carter: Somebody’s in a good mood.

Katie: Well, how can I help but in a good mood when I walk in on this?

[ Carter chuckles ]

Carter: I’m sure it’s more than that. Your visit with bill, it went well?

Katie: Okay, hang on a second. So I am here in your handsome arms, and you wanna talk about bill?

Carter: Not if you don’t want to.

Katie: Hmm. Well, my visit did go well. Yeah. I just can’t get over it. Sheila finally captured, and that’s all because of bill. He’s really a hero.

Steffy: If we give in, if we trade sheila’s freedom for my mother’s, we’re endangering all of us. Why can’t bill see that?

Finn: He can’t see anything, steffy. Sheila’s got some sort of emotional hold on him.

Steffy: And that is a truly frightening thought to know that bill has some like sick crush on a psychopath. What do we do, finn? What do we do? Sheila cannot be released. But if bill is serious about threatening my mom, I think our– our hands are tied. I don’t know.

Taylor: Okay. I have one question. One very important question. Who is throwing the party? Me or you?

Steffy: Ah, party? What, what, what, what party?

Taylor: Come on. I can’t be the only one that wants to celebrate. Sheila’s finally behind bars.

Sheila: Am I using you? If you mean by using, wrapping myself in your incredibly strong arms and not wanting you to let go. Connecting with someone in a way I’ve never connected with anyone like that my entire life. I’ve– I thought you felt the same way. That you were enjoying every minute of it.

Katie: You know what’s sad? When bill found out that I was concerned about him, it– he seemed surprised.

Carter: Did he?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Well, knowing bill he had something sarcastic to say.

Katie: I– that’s just it. I mean, he has, shall we say, a big personality, and none of that was there. That bluster. It was like he was so vulnerable. Something that I’ve rarely seen. Something’s been off with him for a while lately.

Carter: Well, it’s a good thing he wasn’t the least bit off when sheila came knocking on his door. We all owe bill our gratitude, and now we can focus on other things. Better things.

Katie: Mm. Much better things.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] Steffy, you should have heard me when I got your text that sheila had finally been arrested. I screamed, “yes!” Right in the middle of my colleague’s speech. Now he won’t stop talking to me about alternative modalities for anxiety.

Steffy: How was the conference?

Taylor: It was great. Sold out. Thank you. That– I don’t wanna talk about that. I wanna hear about how everything went down. So– so wait. Bill is the one that found sheila and turned her in?

Finn: Yeah. It was bill. He’s responsible for all this.

Taylor: Wow. Our family is safe again because of bill spencer.

Sheila: Look, we’re gonna have many more nights together in front of the fireplace. Just get me out of here. Please, just take me back home.

Bill: Home? You really think this can work, the two of us?

Sheila: Well, given the way things have gone the last few weeks, I’d say yes.

Bill: Why did you follow me that night?

Sheila: From el giardino? I– I don’t know. I saw you sitting at the bar by yourself, staring off, and you just looked so lonely. And it intrigued me. I’ll be honest, I was bored. I was bored. My situation being alone and following you, well, that was going to be an adventure. The all-powerful rich, mighty bill spencer, where was he heading off to?

Bill: Not what you expected, I’m sure.

Sheila: No, it definitely wasn’T. I never expected you to walk down the beach and plop yourself down in the sand. And I knew that approaching you would be a risk. But I don’t know, there was just– there was something that said I had to take that chance.

Bill: We talked until the sun came up.

Sheila: And you could have called the police. You could have easily overpowered me. Turned me in. But you didn’T. And I– I still, still can’t believe that.

Bill: I can’t either. There was something about the desperation in your voice, the loneliness in your eyes. That night, we connected in a way. Well, like you said, in a way that I’ve never connected with anyone. My god, what does that say about me?

Sheila: That says you’re tired of faking who you are and that you’ve been with the wrong women. You’ve been with good girls most of your life. Bill, good girls who didn’t truly understand you. They wanted to change you. Wanted to make you more like them. You’re not one of them, bill. Neither one of us are. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Carter: You know, the best part of all of this?

Katie: All of what?

Carter: Sheila being arrested.

Katie: We no longer have to live in danger.

Carter: Yeah. Yes. But I was going to say your gorgeous smile.

Katie: [ Chuckles ]

Carter: I like seeing you happy.

Katie: I like being happy. It definitely feels like there’s a weight lifted. With sheila in custody, we can concentrate on better things on the future and all those wonderful moments yet to come.

Sheila: Other women want to change you. They wanna tame you and turn you into a weaker version of your true self. But not me. I know there’s nothing wrong with you. I understand you. The core, just like you do me.

Bill: Steffy came to see me.

Sheila: Did she?

Bill: She asked a lot of questions. Questions I’m not sure I even have the answers to. Katie as well. She called me a hero.

Sheila: That’s exactly what you are. You’re my hero. Oh, come on, bill. Please tell me you are not wavering because of something a logan has said.

Bill: I am putting everything on the line for you. If we pull this off, I lose everyone. My kids will hate me. Katie, brooke. I say goodbye to everyone in my life.

Sheila: Yes. And you say hello to someone who understands you.

Bill: Is this real?

Sheila: I– I know that this seems sudden, but I think I have more than shown you how I feel.

Bill: You’re talking about a dance with the devil. If it’s real, it will be an unforgettable ride. If it’s not, I know you, sheila carter.

Taylor: What a way to kick off the new year, huh? Sheila getting caught. It has to be a good omen, right? I am so optimistic right now about my future. I’m back in la, making up for lost time with my grandkids. My– my career is booming. And you know what else? I have a new friend, brooke freaking logan. After everything we’ve been through, I think this is gonna be my best year yet.

[ Knock on the door ]

Taylor: I’ll get it.

Finn: Look, she’s right. Okay? This will be her best year.

Steffy: From inside a cell. We can’t let that happen. We can’t give in to bill’s blackmail.

Taylor: Chief baker, hi.

Chief baker: Dr. Hayes. How are you?

Taylor: You know what? I am excellent. This news about sheila.

Chief baker: It’s about time, right?

Taylor: Yes.

Chief baker: May I?

Taylor: Yes, please. Come on in.

[ Door closes ]

Chief baker: Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hey.

Chief baker: Finn.

Finn: Hey, chief baker.

Chief baker: As happy as we all are, capturing sheila was really just step one. There’s a whole lot of work to be done before prison becomes her permanent address.

Taylor: Yeah. I mean, I understand that there’s gonna be a hearing, but we all know what the outcome’s gonna be.

Chief baker: Well, that’s why I’m here, in fact, to review your statements, make sure everything is in order for trial.

Bill: If you prosecute

sheila, she won’t be

the only one behind bars.

If sheila goes to jail,

taylor goes to jail.

Taylor: Steffy and finn will do whatever’s necessary to put sheila carter in prison. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chief baker: I just wanted to reiterate how important your testimony is going to be.

Steffy: I want sheila to pay for what she did.

Finn: There’s no doubt she belongs in prison.

Taylor: Yeah. And stephanie and finn will do whatever they need to do to cooperate. And we all will. Everyone in our family wants to make sure sheila never walks free again.

Chief baker: Exactly what I wanted to hear. Well, thank you all. I will be in touch.

Finn: I’ll show you out.

Steffy: Thanks.

Taylor: Bye. Oh, my gosh. Sheila’s arraignment can’t come soon enough. She’s gonna be locked up forever.

Steffy: I really, I really don’t wanna talk about sheila right now, mom.

Taylor: Hey. What’s going on?

Steffy: Oh god. There is just so much to be thankful for. So much joy around us, and I think that’s– that’s what we need to focus on, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Yes. There is so much good. You can focus on your amazing husband and your beautiful kids.

Steffy: And you, my mother. I am just so– um, I’m so proud of you. The woman that you are. You deserve to be happy. You deserve the brightest future imaginable. You said this might be your best year yet. And I want you to know that I will do everything I can to make that happen, okay?

Taylor: I– I love you so much, baby. Thank you.

Sheila: I know why you’re questioning this, why you’re protecting yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. Has to do with what you’ve been through in your past with those bitch logans that put– okay. I– I’m sorry. It’s just that they’ve– they’ve always tried to change you, and that’s why you’re having a hard time understanding what we have together here. They don’t appreciate you. They never did. Not the way that I do. They couldn’t possibly. Neither one of them would’ve ever walked out on you if they did. And that’s something I will never do to you. No, not with the connection that I– I have with you. Connection that I have been looking for my whole life. Someone who– who can handle me and stand up for me. And I know that you’ve been looking for that too.

Bill: Looking? I’m thinking that person didn’t exist.

Sheila: No, I’m here. I’m right here. If you’re there for me, I will be there for you, and I will be a powerful force behind you. Can’t you see it? Bill, the– the possibilities, the two of us together, there is nothing that we can’t do. I can already feel it. I am so ready to love you the way you need, the way no other woman has. But you’ve gotta believe me.

Bill: I wanna believe in your feelings for me. That you’re telling me the truth.

Sheila: I promise you, I am.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: And here I thought no one cared, and the woman that raised my son is checking up on me.

Li: I came to see you in the cage where you belong.

Sheila: Might not be five star. Could use an omelet station, but then, strong women like us we can handle a little temporary discomfort. In a cell for a few days, on the streets for a few weeks.

Li: You and I have nothing in common, sheila. That’s why I’m going to spend the rest of my life loving finn and hayes and you are going to spend the rest of your life behind bars.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Are you okay?

Steffy: Uh…

Finn: What– what happened? I thought you’d call me on your way home.

Steffy: Yeah, I needed the drive to think.

Finn: So what– what happened? Did bill come to his senses? Did you get through to him?

Steffy: No.

Finn: What? Bill can’t possibly still be defending sheila.

Bill: Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit. That’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that. Oh, just get me out soon. I love you so much, bill. And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs.

I’m yours for life.

[ Door unlatching ]

Katie: Oh, bill. Thank god! I’ve been calling you and calling you. I’ve texted. You haven’t gotten back to me. I just– I– I can’t believe what’s happened. Sheila has finally been caught and it’s all because of you.

Li: You’re even more delusional if you’re smiling at rotting away in here for the rest of your life.

Sheila: I’m sorry. Who’s delusional?

Li: This bravado may impress the criminals you’re locked up with, but it doesn’t work with me. I know you can be scared, sheila. I’ve seen it.

Sheila: Do I look scared to you?

Li: You think this is a game?

Sheila: No, I don’T. But if it is, it’s one that I am going to win in the end.

Katie: Are you okay after sheila was here?

Bill: I didn’t realize you were still concerned about me.

Katie: Of course I am. You caught sheila and– and turned her in. I– I mean, how did this happen? Did you trick her somehow? Lure her to the house?

Bill: She, uh– she showed up here. I called the police and that’s all.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: That’s all? That’s incredible. So brave. We’re all so grateful, bill. Everyone. Brooke. I mean, I’m sure that finn and– and steffy, they must be elated. But– but I still don’t understand how this happened. I mean, how did sheila end up here? And– and what did she want from you?

Finn: I don’t get it. Bill called the police. Sheila’s been arrested.

Steffy: Sheila’s locked up, but bill wants her out as soon as possible.

Finn: Well, then why turn her in?

Steffy: If not, then she’ll be on the run. This way, she’ll wind up free.

Finn: By blackmailing you. So, he’s still threatening to send your mom to prison for shooting him.

Steffy: Nothing made a difference. Bill is not backing down. If we testify against sheila, if she happens to stay locked up, my mom’s gonna end up in prison too.

Li: You may think you’re getting out of here, sheila, but that’s not happening.

Sheila: Such negative thinking.

Li: Your days of terrorizing my family are over. My son. My son… nearly died at your hands. I saved him, made sure he got home to his wife and children.

Sheila: I– I really don’t want to waste this visit with you arguing things.

Li: Because you know there’s no excuse for what you did. Inflicting violence and pain to those you claim to love? And then onto yourself so you can escape?

Sheila: If I really wanted to escape, I would have, but running away is only a temporary solution.

Li: No, this is a solution, sheila. You behind bars where you can’t hurt anyone else ever again. No more violence. No deception, no threats. You’ve done your worse to me, finn, steffy and her family, going all the way back to her mother and grandmother. How you attacked them and brooke logan too? What you did to them was disgusting, but it’s over. It’s all over. You will now pay for your crimes. All these traumas will be healed and forgotten one day. You see, I believe in right and wrong. I believe people like finn and hayes deserve a happy and free life. And people like you get what’s coming to them.

Sheila: This may surprise you, but I totally agree. I’m getting exactly what I deserve.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: Do you know how long it’ll take to prosecute sheila?

Bill: We’re not there yet.

Katie: Thank god she didn’t get away again.

Bill: Sheila’s days of running could finally be over.

Katie: Thank god. That woman has done nothing but cause our families pain and misery.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: Well hopefully, we can all move on.

Katie: Put sheila behind us. You don’t think she’s still gonna be a problem for us, do you bill? I mean, what exactly did she say? I can’t believe that she would come here, of all places, for help. Did– did she have a gun?

Bill: Katie, why do you want all these details?

Katie: Because I care about you. Because the idea of sheila harming you in any way or– or worse, it’s– it’s unthinkable. I know that we have been a little out of touch lately, a little out of sorts, but I care about you. We’re family. We have a son together. We’ll always be connected and it’s just– it’s terrifying to think that sheila could have harmed you in any way. I’m just so grateful she didn’t and that we never have to worry about that awful woman again. Because of you. You have eliminated sheila carter from our lives forever. Bill… you’re a hero.

Steffy: I really thought I was getting through to him.

Finn: Well, was it an act?

Steffy: No. No, he said he heard me. He understood our feelings about sheila. The pain that she’s caused and that I had every right to want sheila locked up, but he said that there was one thing I wasn’t taking into consideration: The emptiness inside of him. That he needed a woman who could handle him.

Finn: Okay, so what’re you saying? You’re saying that bill has seriously developed feelings for sheila?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe this. I think bill has lost his mind and now we may all be paying the price. 3, 4

Sheila: Li, li, li. You– you amuse me. I think you’re confusing justice for retribution.

Li: Don’t worry, sheila. Your day in court is coming. Finn and steffy will testify against you. How you shot them and left them for dead. You’ll finally pay for your crimes. You may have given birth to finn, but god help him and hayes for even having a trace of your blood in their veins. But you will never be a part of their lives ever again. You won’t be discussed. Hayes will never know you ever existed. You will be erased from all of our lives forever. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Guard, I’m done here.

Sheila: Yeah, well I wanna thank you for coming to see me, li. And please, tell finn and steffy that I’m thinking about them and we’ll all be together again soon.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Katie: You’re so quiet. Is this because you’re still shaken from what happened last night? You are a hero, bill. To all of us. We know that. You don’t need to wear that anymore. You can take the sword off.

Bill: Why would I take it off?

Katie: Because you don’t need it. I know you’ve been in a dark place, but that’s not who you are. You’re not that guy and what you did with sheila, it just proves it. You don’t need that anymore. You say you wear it for protection.

Bill: I do.

Katie: You don’t have to protect yourself anymore. Our greatest threat is behind bars and you put her there.

Finn: No, that’s great. I’m glad everyone is having such a good time.

[ Phone beeping ] Hey, the kids are fine. Amelia says they want to stay at the park.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: Hey, we’re gonna figure this out.

Steffy: I just wish I knew what bill was doing. His motives are always so obvious. Money, power, prestige. I don’t understand what he expects to get from this.

Finn: Don’t you think that sheila might be blackmailing him?

Steffy: I was wondering the same thing, but he denied it.

Finn: You asked him?

Steffy: Yeah. He said that’s not what it is.

Finn: So, you’re saying that he really wants us to let sheila off the hook because he cares for her?

Steffy: Apparently, so much so that he’s willing to send my mother to prison if we don’T.

Finn: Honey, you’re right. He’s lost it.

Steffy: If sheila is actually blackmailing him, we’d be able to find a way out of this, but we’re in trouble if bill has real feelings for her.

I like to voost it voost it

Finn: But I thought one of bill’s redeeming values was his love for his family.

Steffy: It is.

Finn: But you’re saying that’s changed?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t understand any of this. Bill is threatening my mother, threatening her freedom so sheila could have hers? It’s absurd.

Finn: No, sheila belongs in prison. Taylor doesn’T. She’s a good person.

Steffy: She is a good person. My mom was a different person back then. Like I said, she thought bill was taking advantage of me.

Finn: Look, protecting your children is one of the most natural instincts there is. I mean, if I were in her shoes, I don’t know. I would have– the thought of bill hurting you? But now, he is. He is threatening our family and your mother. If sheila doesn’t stay locked up, there’s no telling what she could do to us. I mean, she’s already proven how depraved and murderous she could be.

Steffy: Bill swore he was never gonna say anything about my mom shooting him. And now, it could all come out because what? He’s– he’s lonely? This isn’t the bill I know.

Finn: Look, before he helped save me from sheila, I never thought much of the guy. He seemed very full of himself. But now, to defend sheila? To put us all at risk? Your mom, my mom, kelly, hayes?

Steffy: I get it. I know. Bill talks about not wanting to hurt another woman. Not cause them pain. But, he thinks with sheila, he doesn’t have to worry about that.

Finn: So, he’s fallen for her because she doesn’t have any real feelings? This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard.

Steffy: Finn, it’s worse than that. It’s insane.

Officer: Rise.

Officer 2: Officer, step out. Give the prisoner time with their visitor.

Officer: Sir.

Officer 2: Did I not make myself clear?

Bill: Room clean?

Officer 2: Yes, sir.

Sheila: No one gets privacy in here.

Bill: I’m the exception to the rule.

Sheila: But why? What’s going on?

Bill: I had to make sure you were okay.

Sheila: I am now. But you shouldn’t be here, bill. This is dangerous.

Bill: Don’t worry. Everyone out there thinks I’m furious. I told them I had to look you in the eye and confront you for what you’ve done.

Sheila: Is that all you wanna do?

Bill: How are you doing?

Sheila: I’m hanging in there. Waiting for you to get me out the way you promised. Hey, you are still going to come through for me, aren’t you?

Bill: These last few weeks have been surreal for me.

Sheila: Yeah, for me too.

Bill: I’m working on everything to get you released. I can’t stop thinking about you.

Sheila: Well then, get me out of here soon so we can be together again.

Bill: Are you sure that’s what you want?

Sheila: Are you seriously asking me that?

Bill: I’m not talking about getting you out. I’m talking about whatever this is between us, whatever these feelings are that have arisen so quickly. Are they real? I’ve got to know, sheila. Are they real?

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I heard what you said, bill, and I can see it in your eyes. The two women you care about most in the world hurt you, rejected you. And along comes sheila because that’s what she does. She senses vulnerability and she preys on it. Sheila is a dangerous psychopath who should never see the light of day again. Thank god you finally realized it.

Sheila: I don’t understand. Why am I here?

Officer: The visitation room? Gee, I wonder.

Sheila: Is he tall, dark and handsome?

Officer: Maybe in his dreams.

[ Buzzer sounding ]

Mike: Of all the gin joints in all the towns.

Sheila: Mike, what are you doing here?

[ Knocking on door ]

Li: How are you on this fabulous day?

Finn: Hey, mom.

Li: I came over as soon as I heard the wonderful news. Sheila carter’s been captured.

Li: I saw the news online and couldn’t believe what I was reading.

Finn: Yeah, it’s true. Sheila’s back in custody.

Li: Thank god. The thought of that woman on the loose, unhinged and desperate? After everything, being locked up behind bars is exactly what she deserves.

Sheila: How’d you get in here to see me?

Mike: I made some friends, I pulled some strings so I could see you face to beautiful face.

[ Sheila chuckling ] So, it finally caught up with you, huh?

Sheila: It’s only temporary. I am not gonna be in here very long.

Steffy: Last night really worried me, that you would even think of turning my mother in for shooting you to keep sheila out of prison. Blackmail finn and me. I didn’t understand why and I– I still don’T. But thankfully, you reconsidered. You called 9-1-1 and now sheila is behind bars where she belongs. I just wanna make sure we’re good. That you’re no longer threatening my mother and you never will again. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Li: It’s such a relief to know that sheila’s not out in the world stalking her next victim. That woman should never walk free. I’ve seen how evil she is.

Finn: I hate to think how terrified you must have been when she found us.

Li: It wasn’t a good night.

[ Li grunting ] Let go! Ah! Like you love finn. Not like his real mother does. No, get off!

[ Car honking ] Back off, you crazy bitch!

[ Crashing ]

[ Li shouting ]

Finn: I’ll never forgive her. Sheila shot my wife, she forced your car off a bridge where it bursts into flames. If she had it her way, you’d both be dead.

Li: Thankfully, bill spencer found me. He saved me. Flew you to monaco so you could reunite with steffy, and now he’s done another wonderful thing. Bill’s responsible for sheila being back in custody.

Mike: What did you mean when– when you said you wouldn’t be staying here that long.

Sheila: It’s true.

Mike: I wouldn’t recommend a breakout on your own. Prison officials will be watching you. They still have egg on their face from the last time you escaped, with my help, I might add.

Sheila: I remember that. Don’t worry, I will take your advice. I won’t try to escape. I won’t have to.

Mike: So, what are you going to do? Flash that beautiful smile at some other guard as you just sail out the door? Hell, it’d probably work. Aim it at me, you can have anything I got.

Sheila: Oh, and what exactly would that be?

Mike: Well, unfortunately, not much at the moment.

Sheila: Yeah, but your heart is in the right place, mike.

Mike: I’m sorry you ended up back here, but I’m happy for me. It’s no secret that I love you, sheila. Now, we’re finally together, sort of.

Sheila: And well, enjoy it while you can because my days in this hellhole are numbered.

Steffy: I’m not trying to justify what my mother did, but there were extenuating circumstances back then. My mom wasn’t in her right mind. We both know why. Look, I don’t wanna rehash all of that. That’s a night I’m always gonna regret. Right now, I need to focus on my mother and the extreme way she reacted.

Bill: By putting a bullet in my back.

Steffy: You said you were going to stay quiet.

Bill: And I have.

Steffy: I just wanna make sure that you intend to keep your word. My mother is not like sheila. She came here to confront you about me unarmed. She shot you with your own gun in a spontaneous moment. You know my mother. She is a good person, she helps people. She tried to help sheila. She saved her life.

Bill: Sheila did the same for taylor.

Steffy: Are you kidding? My mom was dangling off a side of a roof so she could stop sheila from jumping! My mom tried to help a woman who is beyond it! Maybe that was what you were trying to do last night. You were trying to help her, you were trying to defend her. I don’t know and I– I– I don’T. I don’t want to know, but bill, think about all the people she’s hurt. The people you care about. Sheila belongs behind bars and she should never be free again.

Bill: I hear what you’re saying.

Steffy: You do?

Bill: Yes, I do.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Li: The news said sheila was at bill’s house when she was arrested. What was she doing there?

Finn: Well, it seems like she’s got some kind of history with everyone we know.

Li: Oh, thank you. Not that it matters. The only thing that matters is that she’s finally back in custody. No longer a threat to you, steffy or my precious grandson.

Finn: Well, if there’s anyone who should never see the light of day again, it’s sheila.

Li: She’s out of your life, son. You don’t have to think about sheila again.

Finn: I hope not.

Li: I get it. She’s a criminal mastermind. It’s hard to believe someone like that can be stopped. I still have nightmares about what she did to you, not knowing if you survived. Seeing you in that hospital bed so far from me, all I could do was keep your body alive and pray you come back. Then suddenly, sheila’s there.

Finn: I’m so sorry, mom.

Li: It’s all right. It’s okay. I’m just so grateful you’re here. You’re alive, strong, brave and beautiful. Evil does not get to triumph.

Mike: Oh, sheila, sheila, sheila. Take it from somebody who knows, the sooner you accept your fate, the better off you’ll be.

Guard: Hey, mike. Wrap it up. I can’t get into trouble.

Mike: Yeah, yeah. Look, I’ll be thinking of you in my cell. Think of me too. I know this isn’t what you would’ve chosen, but I’m all you got. We’re finally together. Maybe for the rest of our lives.

Sheila: I– I hate to disappoint you again, but that’s not gonna happen. You see, I’ve got connections of my own.

Steffy: You’re actually hearing me.

Bill: I am.

Steffy: Sheila is dangerous. She belongs in jail, not my mom.

Bill: I hear what you’re saying loud and clear, and you’re right about all of it. Everything she’s done in the past. She’s hurt so many people, destroyed so many lives.

Steffy: Yes. Yes. You don’t know the enormous relief it is to hear you say that. So, we agree? Sheila will pay for her crimes and you won’t say anything about my mother shooting you.

Bill: Well, here’s the thing. I’ve hurt people too, only to be filled with remorse after the fact, once I– once I realized all the thoughtless damage that I’d done. That’s why I understand sheila. That’s why I know that no matter what I do, I could never hurt her.

Steffy: Wait, bill. What are you saying? Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: Why am I still here?

Officer: We keeping you from something?

Sheila: Well, you’re normally in such a rush to get me back to my luxury accommodations.

Officer: You’re popular today. You got another visitor.

Sheila: Did they give you a name?

Officer: I’m not your assistant.

Sheila: Are you always this grumpy? Well, isn’t this a delightful surprise?

Li: Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see you in your natural habitat. Blue isn’t your color, by the way.

Sheila: Your timing is excellent, li. I was starting to get lonely.

Li: Get used to it. You’re going to be very lonely here for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: You’re so confident.

Li: I am. You may have escaped once with the help of your partner in crime, but mike guthrie is behind bars too. There’s no way out this time, sheila. And no one’s happier about it than me.

Sheila: Oh, I think steffy might be enjoying the moment as well.

Li: Yeah, well, finn’s pretty thrilled too, now that you’re no longer a threat to his wife and son. We’ve all been waiting for this day.

Sheila: And what day is that, li?

Li: Judgement day. Where you will finally be held accountable for your crimes. Evil never triumphs. You shot my son.

Sheila: Our son.

Li: That just makes it more despicable, doesn’t it? You shot steffy, ran me off the road and almost killed me, so you bet I had to come feast my eyes on this glorious sight. Sheila carter behind bars, where you’re going to be for the rest of your life.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Steffy: What is happening, bill? You told me I was right about sheila, that you heard me.

Bill: I do hear you. And you’re right. But there’s one very important thing you’re not taking into account. And that is the… the emptiness in my heart. I’ve somehow managed to hurt every woman that I have ever loved. I need someone who can handle me. A woman I can’t hurt. A woman who will stay, like sheila.

Steffy: Bill, what is wrong with you? You are talking crazy right now. I get that you’re hurting. I get that you feel rejected by katie and by brooke. You feel lonely and misunderstood, but for god’s sake, bill, sheila is not the answer.

Bill: Yes, she is.

Steffy: No, she’s not! Are you kidding? A– are you kidding right now? That you would even entertain the thought of turning my mother in for shooting you in favor of sheila! You consider being with that woman? I need you to assure me that my mother is safe. That I have your word that you are not going to say anything to anyone, especially the police. Bill. Bill, please. Please do not do this. She is going to use you. She’ll use you and move on to her next victim.

Sheila: And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. I love you so much, bill.

[ Bill sniffling ]

Bill: I will not let sheila spend the rest of her life in prison. If you and finn press charges, taylor pays for her crime. Sheila’s life for your mother’s freedom. That is my deal.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Sheila is pure evil! Bill, you’re devoting yourself to her. You’re blackmailing me. You’re threatening my mother’s happiness and freedom. Sheila terrorized my mother.

Brooke: Look, I just need you to understand and respect that you and I are not going to be together, even though when we were, it was very magical. It’s just not going to happen again.

Katie: Would I like to reconcile with you and be a family again and spend my life with you? Yes, that’s what I’ve always wanted. I know you love me.

Bill: Of course, I do.

Katie: But you also love my sister. And that’s something that I can’t live with. Goodbye, bill.

Sheila: I love you so much, bill. I’m yours for life.

Steffy: Bill has lost his mind. How can he be aligning himself with sheila?

Finn: To wrap my head around that…

Steffy: Thankou.

Finn: Here. I know you didn’t sleep.

Steffy: Yeah. I’m too worried about what this could mean for my mom.

Finn: I know, and then we find out on the news last night that sheila was arrested?

Steffy: Sheila’s behind bars where she belongs, but who called the police.

Finn: Well, obviously not us.

Steffy: Thanks to bill with his quid pro quo. We keep sheila out of jail or bill will expose my mother for shooting him.

Finn: Whoa.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Bill was the one who turned sheila in.

Steffy: Bill?

Finn: Yeah. That’s what it says.

Steffy: Hopefully that means that he’s finally come to his senses.

Carter: Are they sure it’s sheila?

Katie: They’re saying it’s her. That sheila carter is in custody. Minus one toe.

Carter: I don’t want to be a skeptic, but I’d hate for all of us to be fooled.

Katie: I don’t think it’s a rumor. I’m looking at like, four different websites and… and the police just confirmed. Sheila carter is in custody.

Carter: So, bill called 9-1-1 and had sheila apprehended. Why was she even over there in the first place?

[ Door unlatching ]

Liam: Dad! We were worried about you.

Bill: I told you guys on the phone last night.

Wyatt: You said like two words!

Bill: I was– I was tired. But um… I’m good. Nothing to worry about.

Liam: Nothing to worry– oh, he says there’s nothing to worry about.

Wyatt: You had a homicidal maniac literally in your house.

Bill: She’s gone now.

Liam: Yeah, that’s great, but why was she here in the first place?

Wyatt: Dad, why was sheila here? What’s going on?

Steffy: I am so confused. Bill was over here with sheila acting like some lovesick teenager, and then he hands her over to the police?

Finn: Yeah, it a pretty big 180.

Steffy: Seriously. He stops us from calling the cops and then he goes ahead and does it himself?

Finn: You think sheila could’ve threatened him? I mean, maybe they got into it on the drive back home.

Sheila: Anything’s possible.

Finn: Maybe sheila put him up to the whole thing.

Steffy: I’m hoping that’s the case, but bill’s not one to be easily manipulated, so.

Finn: So then, I guess he just woke up.

Steffy: I need to find out and see if bill is dropping this whole horrible blackmail scheme. Sometimes you’re so busy taking care of everyone else

Katie: Well, one thing’s for sure. I did not have sheila gets arrested at bill’s house on my bingo card.

Carter: Tell me about it. And what was she doing there? Did she break in? Could bill have gotten hurt?

Katie: I don’t know. I thank god he didn’T. I mean, thank god will wasn’t there. I mean, the woman is unhinged. She could’ve shown up at any of our houses. Thank god we ramped up security.

Carter: Even then, you never know.

Katie: No, you’re right. Bill has 24 hour security and– and the place is like a fortress. Clearly, it didn’t help him.

Carter: Thankfully, she’s exactly where she belongs.

Katie: Yes. We will all rest easier knowing she is curled up in a cold, hard cell.

Carter: Mm. I think we might have to do some celebrating later.

Katie: Oh, yeah. I think we’ll be celebrating tonight.

Carter: Okay, I just can’t get this out of my head. I’m curious how it all happened. Aren’t you?

Katie: I’m gonna have to talk to bill, get all the details. One thing’s for sure, he’s gonna get a big thank you from all of us. He’s a hero for catching sheila.

Liam: Dad, what was sheila carter even doing here?

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m gonna tell them that you showed up here, desperately pleading your case, I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again and we could be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry! She’s gotta be apprehended. Hurry!

Wyatt: Dad, where’d you go just now? Come on. We want to know why sheila was here.

Bill: She uh, she just showed up, you know? Pleading her case. So, I held onto her and I called 9-1-1.

Wyatt: That’s insane because you’re literally like the last person who would ever feel sympathy for her.

Liam: Exactly. Why– why would she put her freedom at risk by coming here? What the hell was she thinking?

Bill: Can’t answer that.

Wyatt: Clearly, she was desperate.

Liam: So desperate.

Wyatt: Right?

Liam: We literally thought that she kidnapped you.

Wyatt: Yeah, and as soon as we found the earring and the wig and everything, we knew she was here.

Bill: Yeah, you mentioned that last night.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is why we had to call chief baker immediately and tell him everything we found.

Liam: Yeah, and oh, by the way, by the way, where were you when we showed up last night? ‘Cause we looked everywhere. We searched the entire house.

Wyatt: Yeah, and your car was gone. Where were you, dad?

Finn: How could bill have even considered siding with sheila?

Steffy: Some kind of psychotic break.

Finn: Well, it sure looked like something was going on between those two.

Steffy: Ugh. Just the thought of sheila and bill together grosses me out. Like, what is he thinking? He knows about all the despicable things she’s done.

Finn: She shot you.

Steffy: She shot you. Her own son!

Finn: Well luckily, my real mom was able to nurse me back to health.

Steffy: Sheila tried to kill li. She ran her off the road, into the ocean. Like, my god, finn. I don’t–

Finn: Look, we’re finally getting some justice, right?

Steffy: Look, it is comforting that sheila is behind bars, but something– something feels off. First, bill says that we need to show sheila mercy, and that we have to be quiet about them or my mom goes to prison, and then look what he does. Like, it doesn’t make sense.

Finn: Yeah. Well, maybe bill just realized how delusional he was being.

Steffy: Or it’s some part of his grand plan.

Finn: You really think so?

Steffy: I don’t know. But please, do not say anything about bill and his blackmail. It’s just– it’s too risky.

Finn: Come here. It’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: I hope– I don’t–

Finn: It’s gonna be okay. I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to our family.

Steffy: Oh, god. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Katie: Well, brooke is ecstatic. She heard the news. Can’t believe it.

Carter: I never thought I’d say this about bill spencer, but I agree with you. He’s a hero. He saved the day. He could’ve saved someone’s life possibly.

Katie: I mean, who knows what sheila would’ve done next.

Carter: Scared to think who her next target might’ve been.

Katie: It’s game over now. I’m sure chief baker was more than happy to throw the book at her. And now, she’ll never see the light of day again. Thanks to bill.

Carter: And bill’s the one to make sheila finally pay for her crimes. Who would’ve thought?

Katie: Oh, I’m sure we’re gonna hear about this for years and years. He’ll tell this story over and over again about how he single handedly took down sheila carter.

Carter: Hey, bill’s the reason we don’t have to worry about her anymore. I say let the man boast. He’s earned it.

Katie: I mean, face to face with a violent felon, I don’t know what I would’ve done if she had showed up at my place. I would’ve freaked out. I mean, especially living all by myself.

Carter: That’s when you come to my place.

Katie: Well, you did vow to keep me and my family safe.

Carter: And I meant it. I know you don’t need protecting.

Katie: No, I appreciate it. I always feel safe with you.

Wyatt: Dad, where were you last night?

Bill: Out.

Liam: Oh, my god. What if sheila was here while we were over? Like hiding?

Wyatt: Oh, wow.

Bill: All– all right, look. Bottom line, I took care of sheila.

Wyatt: Well, thank god you got that lunatic out of here.

Bill: I don’t know that I would call her a lunatic.

Wyatt: Okay, how about crazy? How about murderous psycho? I don’t know.

Bill: What– whatever. She’s, uh, she’s in custody.

Liam: Because of you.

Bill: E– enough already.

Liam: No, no, no, no. Let’s not minimize that. I mean, what you did took bravery, right? It’s sheila.

Wyatt: Society owes you a huge favor. Think of all the lives that she almost ruined.

Liam: Finn, steffy, taylor, brooke. I mean, all of them owe you now.

Bill: All right, boys– boys. Really. Um, you know I’m– I’m just really tired. I– I didn’t sleep much last night.

Liam: Well, yeah. I mean, I– I– I– I could barely imagine what you must have gone through with sheila.

Wyatt: Yeah, seriously, dad. She could’ve snapped. She could’ve done something to really hurt you. We we’re concerned.

Bill: Sheila carter will never hurt me. But I, um, I really appreciate your concern. I’m fine. Everything’s going to be fine.

Finn: Look, bill and sheila, it’s totally illogical.

Steffy: I get that bill feels rejected, but this is next level. To side with sheila is a death wish. She’s gonna go down and she’s gonna bring him with her.

Finn: Then nothing good could come from it. That’s for sure.

Steffy: I should go talk to him.

Finn: All right. I’ll come with you.

Steffy: No. I think it’s best if I go alone.

Finn: Steffy, bill has been acting so strangely. That makes me nervous.

Steffy: I– I get that and I love you for being so supportive and caring, but I can handle this. I can. I’m gonna stay calm, play it smart and set aside that he’s blackmailing my mother.

Finn: It’s risky.

Steffy: I know. I won’t do anything rile him up.

Finn: Look, it’s just… I don’t trust the guy. Okay? But, I believe in you. So, just promise me that you’ll be careful and call me immediately if you need backup, okay?

Steffy: I promise. I love you. Find your beat

[ Phone pinging ]

Sheila: Remember the power this represents to you. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs.

Steffy: Bill.

Bill: Steffy?

Steffy: I need to talk to you about last night.

Bill: Not a good time.

Steffy: What happened last night shocked me. When you showed up, when sheila was there, saying the things that you did, threatening my mother to protect sheila.

Bill: I covered for taylor for years, steffy.

Steffy: And we’re grateful for that, but why the sudden shift? What’s driving this? Finn and I heard that you called the police on sheila. Is that true?

Bill: Yes.

Steffy: Does that mean you’ve come to your senses? Sheila is dangerous. She’s evil. Pure evil. She stalked my family for years. She shot brooke, she shot my mom. Bill, she shot me and finn.

Bill: I haven’t forgotten.

Steffy: I’m not sure what kind of relationship formed between the two of you, but yesterday, I was convinced that you were actually developing feelings for her. But now, she’s in jail. There’s no future with her because we will be– we will be pressing full charges. Attempted murder charges. Look, my only hope is that– bill, are you okay? Hey, look at me. I know you. You didn’t mean what you said. Does sheila have something on you? Is she blackmailing you? What other explanation can there be? You can’t have real feelings for a woman like her. She is totally deranged. Look, I know you feel hurt and abandoned by katie and brooke. By all of us. Maybe we should’ve been more sensitive to your feelings. Please tell me this isn’t true. Please tell me you are not turning to sheila. You said something last night regarding going public about my mother shooting you here, in this very room, all those years ago. Bill, please don’t do that. You cannot side with sheila. She is dangerous and psychotic. Please, for your own sake. For all of our sakes. You can’t do it.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, this is insane. Your arm, it’s around sheila. You’re acting like this is the most normal thing in the world.

Bill: Do as I say and things will be normal again. You and finn will have your lives back. Taylor will maintain her freedom, and sheila and i will go on with our lives, together.

Sheila: I know what a shock this must be to you, sweetheart, to find out about the two of us like this.

Finn: How did you two even get together?

Sheila: Some– sometimes love just finds its way.

Steffy: Oh, my god, enough of this. I am not hearing this anymore. You! You are horrible. Despicable. What kind of number has she done on you, bill? We’re not letting her get away scot free.

Bill: That’s exactly what you’re going to do.

Steffy: Excuse me?

Bill: No one is pressing charges against sheila. Unless you want your mother going to jail too.

Steffy: You’re blackmailing me? Threatening my mother’s freedom?

Liam: Okay. If this wig belongs to sheila carter like we think.

Wyatt: And this earring. And what was she doing in dad’s house? And how the hell did she even get in here? I mean, there’s a guard at the front gate, 24/7. There’s the additional security driving around.

Liam: Also, she’s totally psycho, so what on earth does she want with our father?

Wyatt: I don’t know. But he could be kidnapped right now. Or even worse, he could be dead. We need to call the cops.

Liam: Okay, well, hold on. We don’t– we don’t know anything yet. Can we just– can we just, like, search around and see if we find anything that gives us a clue what– what’s going on–

Wyatt: What are you talking about? We both know that dad has not been in a good place.

Liam: Okay. Can we maybe not go here right now? Just once, I’m just– fine.

Wyatt: What if we’re right and he’s at that whack job’s mercy right now?

Liam: Just look around. Look around. I’m going to talk to tony at the front gate, find out what he knows.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: Fine.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: All right, thank you. Anything?

Wyatt: Dad’s car is gone.

Liam: Yeah, I know, tony at the gate confirmed.

Wyatt: Well, did he say anything else? Was he with anyone? A woman?

Liam: No, he couldn’t say because it’s dad and, you know, dad and his tinted windows. Oh, get this, though. When I asked him about the security footage, he said the whole system was down because of the storm and the backup.

Wyatt: No, no, no. I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. No, we called the office. We called dad. We left messages. Something is not right here. More and more, my gut is telling me that–

Liam: Wherever dad is, sheila is.

Sheila: Steffy, would you please just listen? Just do as he says.

Steffy: Shut up! Shut up! I don’t want to hear another word from you. You’ve done enough damage.

Bill: Something she has paid for repeatedly by being ostracized by everyone.

Steffy: Bill, listen to me. You can’t defend sheila. She is incapable of loving. She shot me. She is beyond dangerous. You know that. I know you wanted things to work out with brooke and with katie. It didn’T. And you felt alienated in other relationships. Relationships that were important to you. I get– I get how you’re hurt, but being involved with a sociopath, standing up for a woman who put a bullet in me, who put a bullet in her own son! She tried to kill li. I mean, li couldn’t even speak at first because she was so traumatized. Traumatized by sheila. You need to wake up. Sheila is a threat to anyone who gets close to her. You are going to prison. Oh, you thought– you thought you could latch on to another man, a very powerful man. And you thought it’d make everything all right. Bill, tell her. Tell her she’s wrong. Tell me you’re not standing up for her. Tell sheila this is the end of the road.

Steffy: Bill, she’s using you.

Bill: You’re not understanding what sheila has come to mean to me.

Steffy: Oh, she’s really gotten to you, hasn’t she?

Bill: We’ve been living together. I’ve seen a side of sheila that few ever do.

Steffy: Do you hear yourself right now? Do you even know what you’re saying?

Bill: I know that everyone has turned their backs on sheila as they have me. She’s been abandoned. So have I. Not that I didn’t give the people in my life good reason. I drove them away because I hurt them, but as I said, in sheila, I have found a woman that I can’t hurt.

Finn: What about the pain she will cause you? Bill, the damage she’s already doing.

Sheila: Bill and I are like two sides of the same coin. We understand one another. We know each other’s needs and desires. And I accept him as he is. Just as he accepts me for who I am.

Steffy: Who she is will wind up destroying you, bill. She will do to your life what she’s done to so many others. How many times do you need to hear that before you wake up?

Bill: The terms of my deal remain the same. Sheila’s freedom for taylor’s freedom. And one more thing. Not a word about my involvement with sheila to anyone. This remains strictly between the four of us. No one else. Let’s go home, sheila.

Steffy: Bill. Bill! Bill, don’t– don’t you do this! No, don’t you do this! Bill!

Baker: Sheila carter’s in your father’s house?

Liam: Well, we’re certain that she was. She’s not now.

Wyatt: Yeah and neither is our dad.

Liam: But we’re worried, you know. Like, what if she kidnapped him?

Wyatt: Or worse.

Baker: What about bill’s private jet? Any activity in the last few hours?

Wyatt: Oh, my god, we hadn’t even thought about that. No, you wait, you think she’s going to try and leave the country and maybe force dad to make that happen?

Baker: Anything’s possible, especially when you’re as desperate as sheila is. That’s why I want you both to leave the premises immediately. My men and i will handle this. Your father will be found, and with any luck, sheila will be in custody tonight.

Steffy: I can’t believe bill. He’s– he’s lost his mind.

Finn: I mean, did he really say that he and sheila have been living together?

Steffy: Yes.

Finn: I don’t get it. Why would sheila turn to bill when he outed her to the police before? I mean, you’d think that she would be livid, want revenge. But instead, they’re involved.

Steffy: It’s crazy. Somehow, sheila ends up making the impossible possible.

Finn: I still need to hear how it happened.

Steffy: About sheila and bill, I don’t want to talk about it.

Finn: No, about bill and your mother. Why did taylor shoot him?

Finn: Bill’s blackmailing us. Your mother shot him. Why steffy? I need to know.

Steffy: It happened while I was married to liam. We were going through some things and so were bill and– and liam and I– I tried my best to repair their relationship. Bill was really grateful and then I found out that liam kissed another woman and I was just so– I was so hurt. I felt betrayed. I went to my grandfather’s guesthouse and I was just so angry and emotional and… then bill showed up and, um…

Finn: And what?

Steffy: I hate that it happened.

Finn: You and bill.

Steffy: It never should’ve happened. But my mom thought that he, um, that he took advantage of me and that’s why she shot him.

Bill: Want a fire?

Sheila: No thanks. The bourbon will warm me up. You know, this– this place has been a sanctuary to me, really a port in the storm. I– I– I don’t know how I’m ever going to adequately be able to thank you for all that you’ve done.

Bill: Works both ways. Being here with you. Someone who understands me. A woman who truly understands me. Who would’ve thought?

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It goes both ways. A man that truly cares for me. A man who was willing to risk so much for me. You know, you say that you’ve hurt so many people over the years and that you could never do that to me, and that might be true. I– I can’t even imagine a scenario where anything like that would happen. Let alone me doing something to hurt you, after all the kindness you’ve shown me.

Bill: I think it’s time. It’s going to be a rough road for a bit, but in the end, you’ll have your freedom. Are you ready?

Sheila: Yeah.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry, she’s got to be apprehended. Hurry!

After advil.

Steffy: I never told you what happened with bill because it was one moment of weakness that I’ll always regret. But my mom is– she was wrong. Bill never took advantage of me, not like that.

Finn: So, it was consensual?

Steffy: Yes. If I’d been in a better frame of mind, if I wasn’t so upset, it… it never would’ve happened.

Finn: Yeah, but he played on your emotions.

Steffy: It was a long time ago, finn. A different lifetime. What happened is my past and what matters now is our future. We have each other and our family. That’s what’s important to me. I know learning this must be a shock to you, but I wasn’t purposely trying to keep it from you. I just never think about it. I never want us to think about it. Please don’t be upset with me.

Finn: No, I’m not upset with you. But bill should’ve known better because any halfway decent man would never have.

Steffy: I– I– I…

Finn: You’re my wife.

Steffy: I get it. I know. And I know you want to throttle bill for what happened. I get it. I know you love me and you care about me. And you feel like you need to protect me. I understand that. But I just want to make sure what happened with bill, it doesn’t– it doesn’t eat away at you or our marriage.

Finn: It won’T. I mean, I won’t let it. Thank you for opening up to me and telling the truth. I know it’s probably hard to talk about but, uh… god, it’s just bill, man. You know, the things that he does.

Steffy: Can we just focus on bill’s latest blackmail?

Finn: It’s unbelievable. Steffy, sheila can’t get away with this. We have to call the police.

Steffy: Believe me, I want that too. I want sheila in jail just as much as you, but there’s so much at stake. My mother’s future is at stake. I mean, the thought of her behind bars for years for shooting bill. She thought bill took advantage of me and she acted irrationally. She was a different person back then. But if bill goes through with this, I mean, I love my mom so much, the thought of gambling with her freedom. I just… I can’t do that. I can’t do that to my mother, finn.

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m going to tell them that you showed up here desperately pleading your case. I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again. And we can be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that. Oh, just get me out soon. I love you so much, bill. And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs. I’m yours for life.

Baker: Nobody move! Stay right where you are!

Bill: Oh, thank god, you’re here. She– she showed up begging for help. I told her she was nuts and called you guys.

Sheila: Don’t do this. Don’t turn me in. Don’t–

Bill: Come on, take her.

Sheila: Stop!

Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.

Baker: Let’s go, sheila. This time, it really is over.

[ Thunder crackling ]

Bill: You two aren’t the only ones who’ve been shot.

Sheila: But we know who did that, don’t we steffy? Your mother.

Finn: Steffy.

Steffy: How could you do this?

Bill: I’m not doing anything. The choice is yours. If you prosecute sheila, she won’t be the only one behind bars.

Liam: Dad. Dad, you here? Daddy-O. Dad. Dad?

Wyatt: Hi.

Liam: Mother– what the– what is wrong with you?

Wyatt: You should’ve seen your face.

Liam: This is fun for you? Are you– are you having a good time? Terrifying your brother?

Wyatt: Yeah. Beats a board meeting any day.

Liam: What are you even doing here?

Wyatt: I was checking on dad. He’s not here.

Liam: Maybe he’s at the office.

Wyatt: Nope, just came from there. And because he’s all alone now, I got a little concerned.

Liam: Yeah, me too. I mean, I’ve been calling him over and over. It just goes to voice mail.

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: So, if he’s not here and he’s not at the office.

Wyatt: Where could he be?

Wyatt: I mean, we shouldn’t be worried, though, right? Dad can take care of himself.

Liam: I mean, yeah. Well, normally, yeah, but I don’t know. I mean, he’s been acting so strange lately, and plus, this storm is insane.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: And he’s nowhere to be found.

Steffy: Bill, what is wrong with you? I can’t believe what you’re suggesting.

Bill: If sheila goes to jail, taylor goes to jail.

Finn: Steffy, what’s going on?

Sheila: My son asked you a question.

Steffy: A few years ago, bill was shot. There were a number of suspects, but the police never found who pulled the trigger.

Bill: Because I never told them. It was taylor. She tried to kill me.

Finn: I don’t understand. Why would your mom shoot bill?

Steffy: It was an awful night. One I’ll always regret. How could you do this, bill? I thought you cared about me, my family.

Bill: You know I do.

Steffy: Then why are you doing this? Don’t you realize what she’s done? She’s dangerous! You can’t defend her.

Bill: That is exactly what I’m doing.

Liam: Yeah, no, it shouldn’t be too much longer. I will stay safe. Give the kids a kiss for me. All right, I love you.

Wyatt: Hope checking in?

Liam: Yeah. We’ve got kelly over at our place tonight, so she, hope, beth and douglas, they’re all doing, like, a slumber party thing in the living room.

Wyatt: Instead of being with your family, you’re out looking for our old man during a thunderstorm.

Liam: Well, what else from his favorite son?

Wyatt: What? Get out of here. You’re not his favorite son.

Liam and wyatt: Will is!

[ Wyatt laughing ]

Wyatt: Well, I’ve seen dad angry, but this is– this is different.

Liam: Yeah, no, you’re right. This isn’t angry. This is hurt. This is betrayed.

Wyatt: So what are you saying? He’s the victim in all this?

Liam: No, I’m saying– I’m saying perception’s a hell of a thing, right? I mean, justin’s over at forrester, katie’s moved on. Brooke probably won’t even look in his direction.

Wyatt: So, what are we, chopped liver?

Liam: It’s not that. It’s not that we’re chopped liver. It’s just that you and I both have our own lives. And besides, nobody was closer to him than katie and justin anyway.

Wyatt: Come on. He’s the one who pushed them away.

Liam: I know that, and you know that, but we’re not dealing with logic and reason here. Something inside dad has changed.

Wyatt: I can’t believe he put that necklace back on. I thought that chapter was closed.

Liam: Yeah, me too.

Wyatt: And I know what you’re saying about us having our own lives and everything, but if he’s that lonely, why is he pushing us away? I mean, we both reached out to him about dinner, and he turned us down. As a matter of fact, I showed up here the other night, and he wouldn’t even let me in.

Liam: You serious?

Wyatt: Now, for a guy that lonely, why is he pushing us away? I don’t know, man. I– I think there’s something else going on here.

Liam: Like what, you think?

Wyatt: No idea, but I feel like he’s hiding something.

Steffy: So, you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to hurt my mother, my family.

Bill: No. I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want to cause you and finn any pain. I just– I just want mine to stop.

Steffy: Bill, sheila can’t help you. She’s a monster.

Bill: Maybe it takes a monster to help a monster.

Steffy: You are not a monster.

Bill: I am. And I’m reminded of it every day. When I was shot, no one cared. You all wished I was dead.

Steffy: That is not true.

Bill: It’s true. I would lie there in that hospital bed fighting for my life and I would imagine my own funeral. No one was there. I didn’t want to die alone, so… I decided that I would work. I would work so hard to bury the old bill. To be kind to you, to brooke, to katie. Katie, the mother of my child. How was I repaid? By being labelled a pariah. Not worthy, certainly not worthy of being loved, appreciated.

Steffy: Bill, if you want to be better, then be better. What you’re doing right now–

Bill: What I am doing? What I’m doing is siding with the one person who sees me for exactly who I am and doesn’t balk.

Sheila: You all act like you’re– you’re better than him. Just like me. You know what, maybe you are. He’s not perfect, but neither are you. Neither am I. Neither is your mother.

Steffy: I can’t believe what I’m hearing right now. You’re siding with the devil. And for what? Revenge?

Bill: No.

Steffy: Then what is it?

Bill: It’s not about revenge.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Liam: What can dad possibly be hiding?

Wyatt: I don’t know, but how else do you explain him keeping us away? Like he’s not even really coming to work that much anymore, and he’s isolating himself here. It’s just, it’s weird.

Liam: That could just be, like, an ego thing, not some secret he’s keeping.

Wyatt: I assume you’re the last one to speak to him, right? But not like just the one-word answers he gives me. Like, really talk to him. So, how did he seem?

Liam: Honestly? Hopeful, manic even. He had invited katie over and he was going to try to convince her to get back together, which worried me. And he kept telling me that I didn’t have to worry, but that’s how cocky he was about it.

Wyatt: Yeah, we know how that turned out.

Liam: Yeah, not well. And– and if what I saw during christmas over at eric’s is any indication, katie and carter are getting pretty close.

Wyatt: Right, I heard. And you said that brooke doesn’t want anything to do with him either, right?

Liam: Right. Which makes both of them having rejected him.

Wyatt: Oh, man. Okay, well. I mean, I don’t mean to sound like the jerk here, but are we really that surprised?

Liam: Fortunately, no.

Wyatt: I mean, come on, the guy did it to himself. He’s– he’s come between brooke and katie before, but at the end of the day, they’re sisters.

Liam: I know. I know. I mean, what– in dad’s defence, I believe him when he says he genuinely loves both of them. I just think he figured on ending up with one.

Wyatt: So, dad is alone. He’s acting strange and for the people that are trying to get close to him–

Liam: He shuts them out. Yeah, the isolation, the sword necklace, all of it. It’s just– it’s a recipe for self-destruction.

Wyatt: And we know, dad, he doesn’t implode. He explodes and destroys everything in his path.

Finn: But bill, father to father, don’t do this. The longer sheila’s free, the longer my family’s in danger.

Sheila: I am your family. You don’t get to choose who your mother is.

Bill: Maybe if you’d given her a fair shot with you, none of this would’ve happened.

Steffy: You’re insane.

Bill: I considered that. But no, I am just so tired of living in this darkness alone, of having my heart broken too many times.

Steffy: You act like this pain was something that just happened. You’ve hurt people, bill.

Bill: You’re right, I have. I’ve hurt so many people, maybe katie and brooke worst of all. And they’ve made it clear that they want nothing to do with me.

Sheila: You know, he’s opened up to me and he knows he’s not a victim and he’s not mad at them for not wanting him. I– the person that he was, the way he treated them. He doesn’t want to be that man any longer. I commend him for that.

Finn: I don’t know you well. Whatever you were. That’s not the bill that I come to know. What you did for my family, for me, saving my mom, reuniting steffy and me. You’re not a monster. Bill, you’re not the enemy.

Bill: You can say that because you don’t know me. I just– I just– I just want a fresh start. I just want a brand new future.

Steffy: With sheila? How can you say you want to be the man who doesn’t hurt people, but yet you want to be with a dangerous criminal?

Bill: She’s flawed, just like me.

Finn: I nearly died, bill. She shot her own son.

Bill: I understand sheila. I know what it’s like to hurt the people that you love and just want a chance to make it right.

Steffy: This isn’t making it right.

Bill: Yes, it is. Don’t you see? This is the one person that I can’t hurt. This is the one person in the world that I can’t break. She can take care of herself. I don’t wanna hurt anybody else. I don’t want to make another woman cry again.

Steffy: Sheila can’t cry. She’s not even human. Sheila is pure evil. Bill, you’re devoting yourself to her.

Liam: Still nothing?

Wyatt: No. Voicemail. What? What are you doing?

Liam: What’s it look like I’m doing? We think our father’s hiding something. I’m looking for clues.

Wyatt: Oh, my god. What? What do you expect to find here, scoob? The whereabouts of our father are not going to be buried in some couch cushions. What the hell is that? What’s that, an earring? Katie’s?

Liam: You’re the jewelry expert. You tell me.

Wyatt: No, brooke?

Liam: I don’t see her stepping foot in here.

Wyatt: So dad has a new mystery woman.

Liam: Let me see it again.

Wyatt: What, really? I mean, I don’t even understand.

Liam: Are you kidding me?

Wyatt: I don’t even understand how you’re my brother.

Liam: You’re going to blame me for your crap throw?

Wyatt: I threw right at you.

Liam: You did not throw it right at me, you– whoa.

Wyatt: What? What? Whoa. Okay, what is that?

Liam: Well, wyatt, it appears to be a wig.

Wyatt: I know that, dummy. Why is there a wig underneath dad’s couch?

Liam: I don’t know why is there’s a wig under dad’s couch. I’m just saying I found it– wait a second.

Wyatt: What is it, part of your personal collection? I don’t understand. Don’T. I’m not touching that!

Liam: Steffy texted me a photograph of sheila in a disguise. Check that out.

Wyatt: Oh, my god. So, sheila carter was here with dad. Do you think she could’ve kidnapped him?

Liam: I’m just as freaked out as you are, but I don’t think that means that she actually–

Wyatt: What are you talking about? Dad is missing. Sheila carter was in this house. What else could it mean?

Sheila: Look, I know how upsetting this is for you, devastating, even. But bill, he just– he just wants a chance at peace. He wants a chance at happiness.

Steffy: By blackmailing my mother.

Sheila: I love your mother. Your mother gave me a chance. She’s the one person that did that for me. We don’t want to see her go to jail. I saved your mother’s life, steffy.

Steffy: Saved my mother’s life? You tried to take it years ago when you shot her.

Bill: Just like taylor shot me.

Finn: Think about what you’re doing.

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re actually– you’re turning your back on your family. Kelly is your granddaughter. I– I– I thought you were one of us.

Bill: One of you? Brooke has no use for me. Katie wants nothing to do with me. And even you, steffy. You don’t want me anywhere near you.

Steffy: Bill, please. Please don’t do this.

Bill: I’m moving on with my life. I finally found a woman who is just like me. You don’t have to understand it, you don’t have to agree with it, but you do have to accept it. I will not let you take her from me. I will not be alone again.

Steffy: God, do you hear yourself? Oh, my god, you’re blackmailing me. You’re threatening my mother’s happiness and freedom. Sheila terrorized my mother. She left finn and me to die! Your granddaughter could have been motherless and yet, here you are defending her. My god.

Sheila: I never meant to hurt either one of you.

Steffy: You shut it. You shut your mouth. You are dangerous and you are out of your mind. And so are you if you think I’m actually going to let her get away with this? I am pressing charges.

Bill: No, you’re not. No, you’re not.

Steffy: Yes.

Bill: You’re not pressing charges. Your mother will spend her life in prison unless sheila spends the rest of her days as a free woman. That is my deal. Take it or leave it. . .

Steffy: Bill! Bill, oh, my god, thank god you’re here, you have to help tie– tie sheila up.

Finn: She was alive. We were right.

Bill: Yes, I know.

Brooke: I am trying not to be freaked out by it, but sheila is out there somewhere.

Taylor: Yeah, she is. You know what? I have a confession. I– I, um– I double check my locks every night.

Brooke: Me too.

Taylor: You know what? I– I don’t think she’d be stupid enough to come to one of our places. She’d be caught. She’d go to prison.

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, that has to happen regardless. There is no way she’s going to avoid being put back behind bars this time.

Katie: Mm! Oh, my gosh. Wow. That’s embarrassing. I can’t even stay dry inside.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Thunder makes you jumpy, huh?

Katie: Uh, not usually. I guess I’m just a little bit more on the edge these days because of sheila. I’m glad that, uh, I came back here, the rain led us back here, and that I’m with you because I don’t think I would want to be alone in my house on a night like tonight.

Carter: Especially since– hey, sheila broke into your place before, huh?

Katie: Yes. Yes, she did. Which makes it official. I’m never going back there ever again.

Carter: Well, don’t worry. You got me. Not that you need protection.

Katie: Well, anyone would feel extra safe around you.

Brooke: You know, if sheila was going to make an appearance, I think it would have been on christmas. She was so moved last year when I convinced steffy to invite her. I was kind of surprised that she didn’t show up. Oh, thank god she didn’T. So how was your christmas? Over at steffy’s?

Taylor: It was wonderful. Steffy just wanted to do something very low-key, it was, you know, steffy, finn, li was there. Hayes. It was beautiful.

Brooke: Good.

Taylor: Yeah. How about you? Was eric and donna’s party good?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. It was festive, as usual.

Taylor: Good. And how is eric? Was he– was he sad that ridge couldn’t make it?

Brooke: Uh, well, ridge showed up.

Taylor: What? You saw ridge on christmas?

Carter: Aw. That was sweet of will, checking in on his mom after reading about the storm.

Katie: Yeah. I have a feeling his friends are posting updates that make it seem a little bit worse than what it is.

[ Thunder crashing ] Oh! Gosh!

Carter: Worse than it is?

Katie: Yeah. Speaking of sweet, it was really nice of you to chat with him like that. I think he spoke with you, actually, longer than he spoke with me.

Carter: It’s not my fault we listen to the same podcast and you don’T.

Katie: That’s a fair point. Seriously, you’re– you’re really good with him. I can tell you’d be a great dad. You’re patient, and you’re caring, and understanding, and those are all essential parenting skills.

Steffy: Bill, what’s wrong with you?

Bill: Nothing.

Steffy: Help us.

Bill: There’s no reason to tie sheila up.

Finn: Well, I’m not holding on to her until the police get here.

Steffy: Yeah, we haven’t been able to call the police–

Bill: No one is calling the police. Sheila deserves a second chance.

Carter: Have you talked to bill since I picked you up the other night?

Katie: Oh, no, I haven’T. I feel– I feel bad. I probably should check in, but he’s just been so out of sorts lately. He’s wearing his sword necklace. He says he has to wear it to protect himself and I just– I just can’t, you know? I can’t save him from himself. It’s just– it’s too much. You want to know what else is too much? Me going on and on and on about bill. It’s your fault. It’s your fault because–

Carter: It’s my fault?

Katie: Yes, you’re– you’re too good a listener. But I’m sure you didn’t invite me to dinner so that I could rattle on about my ex.

Carter: No, I had other motives. One in particular.

Katie: Oh?

Carter: I got something for you.

Katie: What?

Carter: I wanted to give it to you the other day at eric’s, but I wanted to wait until we were alone.

Katie: Carter…

Carter: Belated merry christmas, katie.

Taylor: Hold on a second. Hold on. You were with ridge on christmas?

Brooke: Yes, but no. No. I mean, I wasn’t with him with him. I’m holding true to our pact, taylor. Seriously.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: I am not going to cave.

Taylor: Hmm.

Brooke: I’m not. Honestly. At this point in my life, I don’t feel like I need a relationship.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: God, I– I am so proud of you.

Brooke: Really?

Taylor: I– I’m proud of us.

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Second chance? Her?

Bill: We all make mistakes. We all have moments where we need some… some understanding and a little– little leniency.

Steffy: You know what she’s done?

Sheila: Yes, he does. He knows everything.

Steffy: What is– what is going on with you two?

Bill: Sheila’s become a part of my life.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Okay, enough of this. Okay? We’re calling the police. Now.

Bill: No one’s calling the police. And you won’t be pressing charges.

Finn: Are you insane? Of course we are, she nearly murdered us.

Bill: She’s your mother.

Sheila: You wouldn’t be able to live with yourself knowing that you put your own mother behind bars.

Finn: Shooting us and leaving us for dead? I’m pretty sure you put yourself there.

Sheila: That was a terrible, terrible accident.

Finn: Okay, stop it!

Steffy: You walked away from us. You pretended like it was a robbery. You call that an accident? I can’t believe you’re trying to give her a second chance. You’re defending her?

Bill: I am. Because nobody else will. And I understand what that feels like.

Sheila: We both know what it’s like to get that door slammed in your face over and over again, being told that you’re– you’re cruel, you’re untrustworthy, you’re not worth fighting for. Katie turned her back on bill. And brooke did, too. And that was just so wrong.

Bill: Despite all my efforts to… to be a better man, to prove myself worthy… neither one of them wants anything to do with me. They’re not the only ones. It started with you, steffy. So nobody cares about me. Nobody gives a damn whether or not I live or die.

Bill: This woman knows all about that.

Finn: Okay, but you– you helped my mom rescue me from her. You helped steffy and I reunite. You flew me on your plane to monte carlo. How did you go from that to whatever the hell this is?

Bill: What the hell this is, is me making sure that sheila remains free. Sweet pillows of softness!

[ Sighs ]

Brooke: When I think of all the times that I’ve been let down by ridge through the years…

Taylor: Oh, god. Time and time again.

Brooke: I guess you just grow accustomed to it. You know, at least I did.

Taylor: Me too.

Brooke: But you know what?

Taylor: Hmm?

Brooke: I really do like this new perspective. I like this new version of me.

Taylor: I do, too. You know, I think we’re on to something here, brooke. Seeing the world in a whole new way.

Brooke: Yes, we are.

Katie: Wow, it’s, um… it’s beautiful.

Carter: I couldn’t resist, you know? Knowing your situation and considering you have the strongest, most caring heart of anyone I’ve ever known.

Katie: I love it. Truly, I do. It’s so pretty.

Katie: How does it look?

Carter: Beautiful.

Steffy: Bill, what does sheila have on you?

Bill: I was alone for so long.

[Thunder cracks]

Bill: Did anyone care? Anyone at all?

Steffy: Bill, you lost your mind.

Bill: I have tried, steffy. I tried so hard to be good to you. To brooke. To katie. And none of you wants anything to do with me and– I can’t blame you. I have caused so much pain, right? Tears? I’ve lied. I have cheated. I’ve stabbed people in the back. I’ve caused so much hurt over the years.

Sheila: But– but who’S… who’s that one person? That isn’t ever going to blink an eye at the worst of the worst choices that you’ve made?

Bill: I’m moving on. I’m moving on with someone that I can’t hurt.

Steffy: Ugh. I don’t know what kind of sick, twisted relationship is developing here. And honestly, I don’t care. I don’T. Move on. Be with her, if that’s what you want. But know there will be bars between you because this woman is going to jail.

Bill: No, she’s not. You’re not going to allow it. I absolutely will. This woman traumatized my family. She targeted my mother and my grandmother. The crazy bitch tried to kill me. So I don’t give a damn what you say. This woman is going to jail. I am pressing charges and she’s going to suffer in there for the rest of her life. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Katie: Thank you. I love it.

Carter: Good. Now there’s one more thing I owe you.

Katie: What?

Carter: I promised you a slow dance.

Taylor: You know, I wish stephanie were alive and she could hear you say, “I don’t need a man.”

[ Laughing ]

Brooke: Oh, gosh. I-I- don’t think she would believe it.

Taylor: No.

Brooke: And I don’t think she’d believe this. You and I bonding, coming to this realization at the same time.

Taylor: The realization that we have to love ourselves first. First and foremost, that’s the most important thing.

Brooke: It’s such an invaluable lesson. And I’m so glad that our girls got to see that. I mean, all those years of crying over ridge, what kind of an example were we then?

Taylor: Not a very good one.

Brooke: No.

Taylor: No.

Brooke: But we’re moving forward.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: Yes. Yes, we are.

Brooke: And, uh, I’m just happy to be able to call you a friend. I mean, I can call you a friend, right?

Taylor: Yes. Come here.

Brooke: Oh, taylor. I just never thought I’d feel so good to be in your arms.

Taylor: Yeah, it feels really good to be in your arms, too.

[ Thunder cracks ]

Steffy: Bill, you’ve– you’ve clearly gone to a very, very dark place. You’re lonely. You’re hurt. But convincing yourself to take pity on this woman. No amount of loneliness can justify this. You know what she’s done. She shot her own son. He has a scar for the rest of his life. It is a reminder of her violence. You! You shot your own son. There’s no way we’re not going to the police.

Sheila: Turn.

Finn: Wait, what are you doing?

Sheila: Oh, my. Oh, my, looks like a gunshot wound, doesn’t it?

Finn: A– a what?

Sheila: You two aren’t the only ones who’ve been shot.

Steffy: You wouldn’T.

Sheila: He would.

Steffy: She knows?

Sheila: I know.

Finn: Steffy, what are they talking about?

Steffy: You wouldn’t dare.

Bill: Your mother shot me and I’ve kept it quiet all these years. You go to the police… I go to the police.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Oh, my god. Sheila?

Taylor: Ugh, hi.

Brooke: Hi. Wow, it’s really coming down out there.

Taylor: Yes, it is getting worse. Oh, I thought it was gonna let up.

Brooke: I’m sorry I had you come all the way over here.

Taylor: No, I have been driving around in this mess all day long. I’m happy to be indoors. Most of the traffic lights are out.

Brooke: Oh, you know, the lights have been flickering on and off in here.

Taylor: It’s a ghost. So, why did you want to see me?

Brooke: Uh, I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier with thomas.

Taylor: What happened?

Brooke: Thomas was voted out of forrester creations tonight.

Katie: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Carter: Oh, this did not make for a very good umbrella.

Katie: Oh, you tried, but it was raining sideways out there.

Carter: Oh, man, I should’ve checked the weather before suggesting we walk back from dinner.

Katie: Oh, well, I guess we won’t be having that glass of wine on your rooftop either.

Carter: Rain check?

Katie: Oh– that’s– oh, there you go. That’s good. That’s a good one.

Carter: Oh, man, we were supposed to toast to your health and slow dance under the stars.

Katie: Mother nature had other ideas, I guess.

Carter: Fortunately, so do I. I think I know where I can find a bottle of wine around here. And we can still slow dance. But first, we should get out of these wet things.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Katie: Hm, you really got the worst of it. Trying to use your jacket to shield me from the rain.

Carter: It’s the least I can do after dragging you into a storm.

Katie: You really are soaked. You should take this off. We can throw it in one of the dryers downstairs.

Carter: That’s a good idea. Unless this is you trying to get me out of my shirt.

Katie: You caught me.

[ Thunder booming ]

Taylor: No. How? How? The vote was unanimous. Ridge? Steffy?

Brooke: I’m sorry you have to hear this from me. I really thought ridge might have told you.

Taylor: Oh, I don’t– I don’t think that steffy or ridge could tell me that right now. They must be going through a lot, too. Thomas hasn’t called me. He must be devastated. His work at forrester was everything.

Brooke: We did what was best for the company. It’s not like we were trying to get back at him.

Taylor: I understand.

Brooke: Do you?

Taylor: I’m trying to. Um, you know, I’m– I’m– I’m seeing things from a different perspective these days. Thomas’ behavior. My relationship with ridge. With you. I mean, it’s– it’s really affected my kids, you know? There was a time when something like this would have caused a huge logan/forrester battle.

Brooke: Not anymore.

Taylor: Not anymore. I love my son so much. He’s not a bad person. He’s not. He just– he makes bad decisions. I am just so sorry for everything. He’s put us all through a lot. And– and what he did to you is… I don’t blame you for not wanting to see him around here.

Steffy: Oh, my god! No, oh, my god, no, finn!

Sheila: I don’t have any weapons, I swear. I just– I just want to talk. I’ll stand right here. I won’t move.

Steffy: There’s no phone service, the power’s out.

Finn: What did you do? What did you do?

Sheila: Just must’ve– must’ve been the storm.

Finn: The storm.

Sheila: Please, just listen to me. The police aren’t coming, and your security’s indisposed at the moment. And I’m not leaving. I’m not going anywhere. And you need– you need to hear. I just– I want to live in peace and harmony. I want– I’ve always wanted my previous family.

Finn: Never say that. You are not our family! You’re going to prison for the rest of your life. Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Carter: Getting out of these wet things is not a bad idea.

[ Katie shivering ] Look at you. You’re shivering.

Katie: So, you want to strip down to warm up?

Carter: I’m feeling warmer already. And it’s a good thing this is a fashion house. There are robes right down the hall.

Katie: Okay, well, then… give me your clothes. I’ll put them in the dryer with mine.

Carter: Okay. Uh.

[ Katie chuckling ] There we go. Pants are wet, too.

Katie: Oh, boy, all right.

Carter: All right.

Katie: Thanks, mother nature.

[ Both laughing ]

Carter: Ugh. Thank you.

Katie: No, carter, really, thank you.

Carter: For what? This was supposed to be a romantic celebration. Evening on my terrace overlooking the gorgeous view of the ocean.

Katie: Well, the storm is pretty romantic. And I’m liking the view just fine.

Taylor: Things would have been so different for thomas if we would have made this choice sooner.

Brooke: What thomas did made us realize that it was necessary.

Taylor: Well, there’s a bright spot in all of this.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: You know, I was thinking about what you said. About how thomas had to watch his dad go back and forth between us for all those years. Seeing his mother heartbroken all the time. It made him so angry.

Brooke: I think our kids just want us to be happy.

Taylor: Yes, they do. Isn’t it so crazy that we thought our happiness depended on ridge?

Brooke: Yeah, but not anymore.

Taylor: No, not anymore. You know what? I– I want our kids to see this. I– I– I- our grandkids. Everyone we care about.

Brooke: Gosh, it feels so good, right?

Taylor: Yes!

Brooke: Choosing ourselves!

Taylor: It feels amazing and not running away from it because I think I have to. You know what, brooke? I’m happy. I’m– I feel fulfilled right now. I really do. And there is– there is nothing that is gonna mess that up for me. Well, almost nothing.

Brooke: Don’t worry, thomas will contact you–

Taylor: No, it’s not just about thomas. It’s sheila.

Brooke: Ah, yeah.

Taylor: Sheila carter is alive. She is out there and she is still a huge threat to our families.

Sheila: You don’t need to be afraid of me–

Finn: You’re the one that should be afraid, sheila.

Steffy: Finn, no! No, no.

Finn: You’re sick. Okay? You– you faked your own death.

Sheila: I did that for you so you can move on.

Finn: You did it so you could escape.

Finn: So, you could have closure–

Steffy: Then why are you still here?

Sheila: I couldn’t leave! I needed to make sure you were all right.

Steffy: You’re a liar. You were– you were stalking us. I saw you at il giardino!

Sheila: I didn’t know you were going to be at il giardino and I’m not following you. I’m not a threat to you. I– I– I understand, if– if you don’t want me to be a part of your family–

Steffy: We don’t want you here. We want you behind bars.

Finn: You should have run away when you had the chance to never come back.

Sheila: Don’t you think I tried that? I came up with a brilliant plan. I executed it perfectly and everyone believed it. Everyone. Except for you, my brilliant, gifted son.

Steffy: What you did was sick!

Sheila: It was horrible and it was excruciating, but that’s what you do when you love family, and I would do anything for you. I would do anything, regardless of how much it hurt me.

Finn: Then turn yourself in.

Sheila: I don’t– I don’t need to go to prison. I am not a threat to you. If you could just let me explain.

Finn: Explain what? You shot me. Your own son. And then, you shot my wife. You could have made your grandson an orphan. A child you claim to love.

Sheila: I do love hayes. I love you all.

Steffy: Hayes will never know you existed. You’re going to rot behind bars for the rest of your miserable life.

Finn: You’re coming with me.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Sheila: Let me explain, let me explain. No, no, no, no, no. Please, just… just hear me out. Even if it is for the last time.

Sheila: Please.

After advil.

Katie: Okay.

Carter: Nice and warm?

Katie: Yes. Here you go.

Carter: Thank you.

Katie: Oh, you found some wine.

Carter: I did. I have to make good on some of my promises.

Katie: I think you’re doing just fine.

Carter: Well, let’s toast to you. To your grace, to your health, to your beauty.

[ Katie chuckling ] So much for a night away from the office, huh?

Katie: Well, our night is just getting started. And I like where it’s going so far.

Brooke: So, the police were sure it was sheila that steffy saw at il giardino?

Taylor: Yeah. And they have no idea where she is now.

[ Thunder roars ]

Brooke: Oh! Gosh.

Sheila: Just hear me out. Just this once.

Finn: Yeah. What– what? Then what? You think we’re just gonna let you walk out of here? No, sheila. You’re not getting away this time. If I wanted to get away, I could have. I could be living a new life somewhere else. But leaving you wasn’t an option for me. I just– I want your acceptance, your understanding.

Steffy: There’s nothing to understand. Everyone is against you. And that’s exactly what you were saying in that alley when you pulled the gun on me.

Finn: Whoa, whoa, whoa–

Sheila: No one’s more sorry for what happened that night than I am. It was a terrible accident.

Finn: Accident? You nearly killed her.

Steffy: I thought my husband was dead. My family mourned him!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to shoot you, finn.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Sheila: I didn’t mean to shoot anyone. Steffy just kept coming at me over and over again, threatening to keep us apart. I know that you both despise me and that all you can see is the bad, the mistakes that I’ve made, but coming back to los angeles to meet you was not a mistake. And I can say that because I love you. I am still your mother, I am hayes’ grandmother, and there is nothing that is going to change that. Things could just be so different. Will you just please give me a chance? I just– I just– I just want your acceptance. I– I want to be at peace with you. I– I want to find a way that the two of us can move forward together. That’s all I want.

Steffy: You’re insane, you’re insane, you’re insane.

Finn: You’re going away, sheila. We’re pressing charges. You’re gonna pay for your crimes.

Sheila: I’m not going back to prison. There’s nothing that you could say or do to convince steffy and me to let you go. You’re going to prison, sheila. Tonight. Second date, wish me luck buddy.

Brooke: Nobody has seen sheila since that car chase?

Taylor: No, no. It’s terrifying. Where could she be?

Brooke: Well, she had to have left town.

Taylor: Well, you’d think a rational person would leave town, but sheila’s not rational. She cut off her own toe. She faked her own death. She convinced everyone she was dead, and then she came back.

Brooke: And if she tries that again, she’ll be caught for sure.

Taylor: Yeah, but we just have to keep our guard up. Especially steffy and finn.

Brooke: Maybe it’s safer if they go out of town for a while.

Taylor: Yeah, I wish they would, but, you know, sheila’s caused such an upheaval in their lives. Steffy and finn are determined to stand their ground.

Brooke: You think she’d go after them again?

Taylor: I think she’d try to go after hayes.

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: But I– I– I– that would be so stupid. She…

Brooke: Well, like you said, she’s not rational.

Taylor: My god, brooke. What is she gonna do next?

Steffy: There’s nowhere to run, sheila. No way to avoid your fate.

Sheila: You know, that’s the problem. People have always underestimated me. Lauren fenmore underestimated me in genoa city. She thought my life was over. But actually, you know what? My life was just beginning. I started an amazing new existence right here in sunny california. And then, jack. Jack thought he could keep me a secret, keep me from my son. And now you’re saying it’s over? That– that there’s no chance of escape? That– that I’m going back to prison? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh, you know, I– I’ve gotten used to hearing that over and over again. But it’s never been true for me, steffy. Not for me, because I always find a way out.

Finn: Sheila, there is not one person in this town that has any sympathy for you.

Steffy: Everyone knows you’re crazy and dangerous.

Finn: And you believing that you’re just gonna get away shows how truly disturbed you are.

Sheila: Oh, no, you know what? You’re wrong again, sweetheart, because I’m a free woman right now, and I’m going to continue to be a free woman.

Finn: Okay, that’s enough. Steffy, I think there’s some rope in the top drawer.

Sheila: Oh, here. What, you want to tie me up?

Finn: You don’t realize the evil that you have brought into our lives.

[ Thunder cracks ]

Steffy: Here, here, here.

Finn: You shot me and my wife. You left us for dead. It’s over, mother. Right here, right now. You hear me?

Steffy: Bill.

[ Heavy rain, thunder clapping]

Steffy: Oh, I love this rain.

Finn: Yeah. So, it’s official, we have the house to ourselves tonight?

Steffy: Yes, we do. Kelly’s with liam, hayes is spending the night with grandma li.

Liam: Perfect.

[Chuckles] I mean, not that I don’t love being with our kids.

Steffy: Our kids are amazing. But you’re right, this is– this is nice.

[ Thunder clapping]

Finn: Oh.

Steffy: Oh.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Engine revving ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Ridge: All right. Thank you all for coming on this stormy night.

Brooke: Will steffy be here?

Ridge: No, she doesn’t have to go through any more of this. Dad, steffy, and I, we talked about it and we all agreed on what needs to be done. All right. Good. You’re here.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I was summoned.

Ridge: You created a problem, thomas. We’re here to fix it.

Finn: What do you wanna do for food? We have some christmas leftovers or I could cook something.

Steffy: No, I don’t wanna be away from you for too long.

Finn: Hmm. Sounds like a plan, but plans are flexible. They can change.

Steffy: I don’t wanna change anything about this night.

Finn: Okay. But there’s a pretty important meeting happening at forrester.

Steffy: I’ve said all I have to, to my brother. It’s time for him to learn about his future at forrester.

[ Thunder clapping ]

Thomas: You know, before I get the lecture I deserve I’d like to say a few words, if that’s all right. If you can actually believe it I’m glad you’re all here. Means I can tell you all at once just how badly I screwed up. I don’t know what I was thinking, calling cps on myself. Actually, that’s it. I wasn’t thinking. I was filled with emotion. I mean, brooke threatened to call cps on me. And I– I just, I got so angry with that. And I said, “you know what? Let’s call cps and they’ll show up and see how great of a father I’m being and how irrational that is.” But I also wanted my parents together, and brooke, that meant getting you outta the way and lying to make that happen. And for that, I am so sorry.

Steffy: I am convinced that if thomas just left things alone, my parents would be married right now. Of course, he just ruins everything. And it just proves that he is the same manipulator he’s always been.

Finn: I’m sorry he disappointed you, but I am so proud of you. Hey, it would’ve been easy to let ridge and taylor get married, but you told the truth.

Steffy: I couldn’t let my mom and dad start building a future based on a foundation of a lie. My dad deserved to know that brooke didn’t betray him.

Finn: Have you checked in on your mom?

Steffy: Yeah. She’s okay, considering. I was wondering how this was all gonna hit her, but she seems empowered, her and brooke.

Finn: I mean, I still can’t believe they both walked away from ridge.

Steffy: I know. Feels like closure is in the air. The mom, dad, brooke cycle, thomas’s future will be decided. Now, there’s only one unsettling loose end left.

[ Thunder claps ]

[ Rain splattering ]

Thomas: I don’t know what switch flipped. It made me think framing brooke was a good idea. I mean, obviously I need more years of therapy and I thought these kind of stunts were behind me.

Ridge: We all thought that.

Hope: That’s why this is so shocking and hurtful.

Thomas: I made a terrible mistake and I backslid on my progress. But I think you’ve all seen the progress I’ve been making over the last couple of years, and I’m taking more steps forward than I am steps back. So give me the opportunity and I will take it to show you that I’m becoming a better man and I’m still an integral part of the forrester design team.

Eric: All right. Stop. Stop right there. You’re getting ahead of yourself here, thomas, presuming that you still have a– a place here.

Thomas: What do you mean?

Eric: Do you have any idea how disappointed I am in you? I trusted you. I– I believed in you and I invited you into my home, into my house to give you the opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your– your boy. And then you do this to ridge and to brooke. I can’t even look at you.

Thomas: Don’t say that grandpa. I can still make amends.

Eric: No, you can’T. You can’T. The person that you should beg forgiveness of is brooke.

Brooke: I know how you feel about me, thomas. You’ve made it abundantly clear. Sure, you can say I’m sorry in front of everybody in this room, but I know how you really feel. When I found out the truth about the cps call, you showed me no remorse whatsoever. And you made sure that I knew that you would do whatever it takes to keep ridge out of my life. I didn’t want it this way. I just didn’t wanna see the stress and the strain on ridge’s face. So I tried, I tried to have some kind of relationship with you to show you some kind of love, support. And this is what I get. This is what you throw back in my face, sabotaging our love. You don’t care about our feelings and our marriage. You have no respect.

Thomas: You’re right. I didn’t respect your marriage, but I’m sorry about lying and hurting your feelings. I really am.

Brooke: I’m sorry? How many times are you gonna say, I’m sorry? You said I’m sorry to your son. You said I’m sorry to hope. You said I’m sorry to me. Are we gonna continue believing you forever, thomas?

Thomas: I wanted my family back together.

Brooke: [Sighs] Well, you can’t justify this. There are no more excuses. This is the end of the road.

[ Music playing ]

[ Rain splattering ]

Carter: You know, I liked you, thomas. I really did. And as ridge’s best friend and ceo of this company, I was always rooting for you to make a comeback after every time you messed up. I thought it would stick this time. I really did. You were doing so great. Your designs were fire, had a great working relationship with hope and zende. And your father was so proud of the way you turned your life around. The man, the father you were becoming. How can you do this? You devastated this man. Is there anything else you should tell us? Any other lapse in judgment that might blow back on hope or hope for the future?

Thomas: Carter, do you understand how much work I put into this line? Why would I do something to jeopardize that, a line that I’m working on? And you know how much I care for hope. I mean, why would I do something to hurt her or my son? I mean, hope you– you believe that, right?

Hope: I did. I believed everything you said about learning from your past, making an effort to move forward. How we could co-parent together, work together. Hey, even be friends despite our history. But after all this.. I should’ve– I should’ve listened to all the warnings. You have hurt douglas. You continue to just think about yourself. You didn’t even think about how traumatizing this might be for your son.

Thomas: I wasn’t thinking about anything, hope. And I’m so sorry. Look, I love douglas. He means more to me than anything else in the world. I never wanna hurt him. And you have to give me another chance to be–

Hope: Thank you to be for all your hard work on my line. I do know how many hours you have put into it and all of the hard work that has gone into it, and you were a very important part of the team. But zende is an excellent designer and he has really come into his own. So I think the line will do just fine without you.

Thomas: You don’t actually believe that, hope.

Hope: You used our son to destroy my mother’s happiness. How could I ever trust you again?

[ Heavy rain splattering ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Babe, it looks so nice in here.

Finn: Oh, well, it’s all part of my master plan.

Steffy: Which is?

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Oof.

Finn: Oh, wow.

Steffy: As if I didn’t already know.

Finn: A serious seduction. We have the whole house to ourselves for an entire night and I intend on using every single room. I need this. I need you.

[ Thunder clapping ]

Sheila: Almost there.

[ Chuckles ]

Thomas: I made a mistake. I got caught up in a dream, a dream of wanting to have my family back together again.

[ Thunder clapping ] And it was so close. All it needed was a nudge and I pushed it right off a cliff. And that’s what I’m saying. I know what I did was wrong. And for that I am so, so sorry. Granddad, you– you opened your home to me and my son and I failed you and my son both. And I’m so sorry. Brooke, as much as you don’t wanna believe it, I– I never wanted to hurt you. I’m sorry, brooke. Hope, I never ever wanted to see that look a disappointment in your eyes again. And I have to see it now every day. I’m so sorry, hope. Dad, I wanted our family back together, but what I did… it wasn’t okay. And you know what? Dad, I can move forward. I can learn from this and I can grow. You just– you have to gimme a chance.

Ridge: What are you asking me right now? To forget what you did or… forgive you? What is it? I stood by you when no one else did. Even blamed myself because I wasn’t there when you were a kid. But I was there when you were a grown man and you played me.

Thomas: That was never my intention, dad.

Ridge: Intention? It’s not about intentions. It’s about your actions, boy. It’s about your actions. Maybe this is who you are. Maybe you can’t change. This is you. You are making me do this for the family, for this company. I’m sorry.

Thomas: Dad, please don’t do this.

Ridge: We all agree, and that includes steffy, your days at forrester creations are over. Goodbye, thomas.

[ Fire crackling ]

Steffy: When you look at your scar, do you think about sheila?

Finn: I did at first, but now I barely notice it. I try to make a conscious effort not to think about sheila unless I’m forced to. Okay? Because tonight’s just about us. And our love.

[ Thunder clapping ]

[ Clanging ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

[ Thunder clapping ]

Steffy: Oh my god, sheila.

Katie: Especially on a day like today when we went to the mission.

Brooke: It’s wonderful that we’re continuing the important family tradition.

Katie: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah. Stephanie would be proud. She’d be proud of all of us gathering here in– in our family home. So let’s eat, drink and be merry. All right? Not necessarily in that order.

Pam: What order?

Eric: Come on. Okay. And you put that outside.

Charlie: You sure?

Pam: He’s gonna put somebody’s eyes out.

Katie: So, are you having a holly, jolly good time?

Carter: Always. Though I am a little nervous about eric’s eggnog.

Katie: Oh, you should be. It’s lethal.

[ Carter laughing ] Oh.

Carter: Mistletoe.

Katie: Hmm.

Carter: Did you plan this? Did you plan to get me under here?

Katie: Well, I don’t know who put it up there, but I’m awfully glad they did.

Carter: New year, new possibilities.

Katie: New possibilities with someone who doesn’t just listen, but actually hears me. Someone I know will take very, very good care of my heart.

Carter: A very special, miraculous heart.

Eric: Everybody, please can I say something for a minute? Okay. We’re going to eat pretty soon. We will. So, don’t eat all this, right? We got lots of food. Um, I’m so happy that everybody’s here. Thank you. I’m actually honored that you’re here in the house. Oh, in fair warning, I’m gonna ask everybody to just say a little something about what you feel grateful for this year. You know, what I see here, I see love and affection that you all share for each other and support and protectiveness. And that means we’re a family. That’s the most important thing. So, happy holidays. And god bless us everyone.

Charlie: Yeah.

Hope: Hear, hear. Pain hits fast. everyone here, all of yo

Zende: Granddad, you’re my biggest advocate. Everyone here, all of you have guided me in some unique way. Some of you are family, but all of you are friends. Today, I am so very thankful for the meaningful connections I’ve made in my life. And for second chances.

Paris: Second chances, third chances. However many times it takes for us to get it right because when it’s worth it and when it’s written in the stars, it always falls into place.

Carter: It’s been quite the year. I learned a lot. And what I lost, I gained in clarity. I have a lot to appreciate like your forgiveness, your brotherhood. You guys are my chosen family and I’m looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.

Katie: The holidays, new year it’s– it’s a time for reflection. It’s a celebration of all those little miracles that have brought us to this place. And I just know that we have so many more miracles yet to come. All of us. All my sisters. I’m just so happy that we’re all in such a good place.

Hope: Aw. There’s that logan pride. I mean, I am so happy I get to be a part of– of that group. But not only you, but everyone here, I mean, you all are such extraordinary people and I’m so happy my kids have such good role models to look up to, especially this man right here.

Liam: Kids are really growing up. I mean, look at ’em. Like all wide-eyed and enthusiastic. It’s the best. You guys are the best. You know that, right? It’s a nice reminder to stay openhearted. Just look for the joy. It’s there. And um, fortunately in my case, I don’t have to look too far.

Brooke: We’re all very lucky to have good health, good fortune, lifelong friendships. You know, life isn’t perfect. And when we feel alone, we get to lean on the people that we love. Like I lean on my children and my grandchildren, my family. And I am so grateful to have each and every one of you in my life, especially now.

[ Door creaks ]

Pam: Yay! You made it.

Eric: You’re– you’re just in time. We’re all telling what we’re actually grateful for. And I’m grateful for you as my son and that you showed up here just now.

Ridge: I’m– I’m here. And I brought presents for everybody. And I’m– I’m wearing a– a big coat of humility ’cause I thought I knew everything about life and love and communicating and it turns out I know very little.

Eric: Yeah. Well, fair warning, you’re never gonna figure any of that out except what’s really important. Merry christmas, everybody.

All: Merry christmas.

Zende: We’re glad you made it.

Hope: Can you believe ridge came?

Liam: I don’t know. Is it weird that I’m not that surprised? Who wouldn’t wanna spend christmas with the girl of his dreams?

Brooke: I wasn’t sure you’d make it.

Ridge: Oh, I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it either, but I really wanted to see your face. Merry christmas. When a cold comes on strong, the power of ridge and brooke

Katie: Gosh, it’s– it’s huge that ridge decided to show up.

Donna: Yep.

Charlie: What are they yapping about?

Eric: I don’t know, but I think it’s a good sign that he showed up after all.

Pam: It’s like I said, the power of ridge and brooke cannot be denied.

Charlie: When’s he gonna make the big move?

Ridge: I don’t wanna overstay my welcome. I just wanted to drop off some gifts and say hi and that’s it.

Brooke: What? No, don’t be silly. This is your family home. You don’t need to rush off.

Ridge: I don’t wanna interfere on your holiday. You know, I’ve– I’ve got some work to do on me. I gotta– I gotta learn how to be more direct.

Brooke: Well, let’s not get into that right now.

Ridge: I should have believed in you. I do. I do believe in you. And I know you’ve sworn off men for the moment, especially this man and it’s christmas.

Brooke: Oh, my goodness.

Ridge: Yeah. Very funny guys. What are you doing?

Pam: ‘Tis the season.

Charlie: Look like you needed a little nudge, so.

Ridge: What do you say?

Brooke: Well, it would be rude to deny the magic of the mistletoe.

Ridge: Hm.

Zende: You’re doing well.

Pam: All right. We’re closing in on it.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Zende: Who has a gingerbread house?

Pam: I do.

Zende: Very lovely.

[ People cheering ] Yeah!

[ Everyone cheering ]

Brooke: So jealous. Always. Well done, sisters.

Carter: That’s a good one. Let’s keep going.

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Eric: Listen, everybody. I was so, um– I’m so glad to see how much fun we’re having. I know I am. I enjoyed very much to hear speeches about what– what you were grateful for in this life. I think it’s safe to say we’re all very blessed in our lives with great blessings. I think it’s uh, safe to say that on today and jesus’ birthday, that we all appropriately reach out to share some of that with– with others in our lives and with people that aren’t even in our lives. People not as fortunate as we are. I pledge to do that and I hope you do too. To live the philosophies of this life all year long and to make this world a better place.

Ridge: Well said, dad.

Eric: Thanks.

Carter: I think we all wish this feeling would last. People being kind and considerate, sharing their appreciation for each other, remembering the value of community. Sometimes the smallest gesture can make the biggest impact in a person’s life.

Brooke: There is beauty and inspiration all around us. We just need to open our eyes to see it. And all this joy and this happiness and this peace and love that we feel during christmas, we need to carry that with us all year long.

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: Happy holidays, everybody.

Eric: Happy holidays okay, I want some of that eggnog.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Douglas plays “jingle bells” ]

Carter: For me?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: What?

Katie: It’s– it’s very small.

Carter: Oh, come on. You shouldn’t have. All right. Let’s see.

[ Eric plays “deck the halls” ]

Finn: Something wrong?

Steffy: I’m just, uh, looking for the mistletoe.

Finn: Hmm. Well, I don’t need mistletoe to kiss my super hot wife. Ah, you did an amazing job with the decorations.

Steffy: Thanks. You don’t think it’s a tiny bit too much?

Finn: Well, the kids like it, right?

Steffy: Oh, absolutely.

Finn: Well, then that’s all that matters.

Steffy: It was so cute watching kelly help her little brother put the ornaments on the tree. I mean, it was adorable.

Finn: Yeah, it’s, um, hard not to get caught up in the holiday spirit with the kids around.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, that would be even truer if the fear of sheila wasn’t hanging over us.

Eric: Yes… well…

Ridge: Dad? Hey! You wanted to see me?

Eric: Yes. It’s important, sit down.

Ridge: No, no. I remember making this for you and mom. It must have been, what, third grade, maybe.

Eric: I’m sure. Yeah. And it’s, uh, it’s hung on the christmas tree every year ever since. Along with all these other ones from your– your brother and your sisters and… the grandkids, the great grandkids. Jeez, look at these.

Ridge: Well, tradition is important, right? Especially this time of year.

Eric: Yes, it is. Look, ridge, um… I’m worried about you.

Ridge: Worried about me? Why?

Eric: I don’t want you to feel alone or untethered this holiday season.

Katie: I–I know I shouldn’t have put off my appointment. I– I should have come in months ago. And that’s not good. And… you haven’t said anything, which also can’t be good.

Carter: Maybe that’s because you haven’t let the doctor get a word in. That–that’s why, right.

Katie: Oh, yeah. I’m so– sorry. Um… so, doctor, what are my results?

Finn: Baby, we are all concerned about sheila. And knowing that she got away from the police yet again is beyond frustrating. But she will be caught.

Steffy: I keep telling myself that. How one day sheila will be behind bars for the rest of her miserable life. But until then, I am gonna be freaked out.

Finn: Until then, until then we’ll stay vigilant. Look, I don’t want you worrying. Okay? Definitely not during the holidays, when the kids are so excited. Our family has never meant more to us. I will always be here to protect you and our kids.

Steffy: Oh.

Finn: Okay?

Ridge: I don’t like that you’re worried about me.

Eric: I’m your father. I’ll always worry about you.

Ridge: Okay, but at this point in my life, I– I should have my act together, I think.

Eric: Well, if you’re referring to your personal life, yes, um, I would agree with that. Although when it comes to my track record, I really can’t be a judge, can I?

Ridge: See, that’s why I took some time off. To try to figure out why I did what I did, the choices I made, and maybe try to figure out what’s next, you know?

Eric: Yeah. So, what happened? And you and brooke and taylor in the same room at the same time. What happened?

Katie: Well, I have to admit, I put these appointments off because I always go to the worst case scenario. And I know that… you know, I have to face my own mortality and I’m living on borrowed time as a transplant survivor. So, yeah, yeah, I don’t I don’t like coming to these appointments because i don’t like feeling that way.

Grace: Your results from your latest test. They’re all very positive.

[Katie sighing]

Grace: As you know, heart transplant rejection can happen at any point. It could be days. It could be weeks. It could be months. Years after the surgery. Even with the immunosuppressant drugs your on. But I’m happy to say there are no indications of rejection whatsoever. You have a very healthy heart. You’re doing well, katie.

Katie: Oh.

Katie: I really am okay?

Grace: Yes. You’re really okay. And I’d go as far to say that you’re a walking miracle.

Carter: This is amazing, katie.

Grace: I’m so happy you have a wonderful support system, katie.

Katie: Me too.

Grace: So, go. Live your best life.

[Phone buzzing] I have another consult. I’m sorry. You’ll both have to excuse me.

Katie: Oh, yes, of course. Thank you.

Grace: Take your time.

Katie: Thank you so much.

Carter: So?

Katie: So.

Carter: So, it doesn’t get better than this, right? Clean bill of health for the holidays.

Katie: Yeah. Oh, man, I can’t even tell you how stressed out I’ve been about this appointment.

Carter: Well, it’s not like you let anyone on.

Katie: Well, you know, I didn’t want to worry anyone. You, you know, but I do have to admit that when I saw you walk through the door. I knew that you would be here for me. I just can’t thank you enough, carter.

Eric: So they dumped you? Wait, brooke and taylor dumped you?

Ridge: Yeah, why don’t you say it one more time? I didn’t expect that either. Look, can I say something?

Eric: Sure. Go ahead.

Ridge: Seeing these two amazing women standing there so strong and so convinced in what they were doing. I–I… was really proud of them.

Eric: This is going to be a big shift in your life, isn’t it?

Ridge: Yeah, and that– that word you said, untethered. That’s– that’s how I feel right now,

Eric: Uh-huh. I can only imagine. Especially now with the, uh… with the holidays upon us.

Ridge: I’m going to be okay.

Eric: I think you will be. You have me. You have your old man. You got your family. You’ve got this house. This is your home, too. We’ll all be here. I want you to make A… I want you to make an appearance on christmas.

Charlie: Ho, ho, ho!

Pam: Hey, we’re back from the north pole with all the fixings

Eric: Did you, uh, you buy out the whole store? Look at you.

Pam: Well, of course we did. It’s the annual forester christmas bash. Got to go all out. We sure hope that you’re going to be joining us, ridge.

Charlie: Yeah, uh, you know, pammy and I heard about brooke and taylor.

Pam: Heck, the whole office heard, ridge, which is why you need your family more than ever right now.

Eric: Pam’s right. I want you to make an appearance here at christmas.

Finn: Hey, we should go see the decorations downtown this weekend. We’ll get you on some ice skates.

Kelly: Yeah! Mom, too?

Steffy: Uh, yeah! Who do you think think’s going to teach you?

Finn: Anyway, hey. Won’t be long. Santa is going to visit.

Kelly: I know. Hayes is so excited. I think he wants to see rudolph.

Finn: Uh, well, yeah, everyone wants to see rudolph with that nose so bright thing he’s got going on.

Kelly: Douglas says rudolph’s nose is red ’cause it’s cold at the north pole.

Steffy: Yeah, I think douglas is right.

Kelly: Then why aren’t the other reindeer’s noses red too?

Steffy: Uh, you want to take this one, finn?

Finn: Uh, yeah, I think, um… why don’t you ask your dad that when you’re with him on christmas. And I think liam can answer that question. Steffy: Wow, talk about passing the buck.

Finn: Anyway, when santa comes down the chimney, what are you hoping he brings you?

Kelly: The only thing I want for christmas I already have: All of us together.

Steffy: [Indistinct] Oh, you are so cute. Oh, my god. (Grump) today is a great day to show up for yourself.

Eric: Pam’s right. You know… ridge? I would really like for you to stop by christmas.

Pam: Look, if you’re just worried about running into brooke… I know she did just kind of give you the old heave ho.

Pam: But–

>>Charlie: But– but she didn’t totally reject you, right? I mean, you guys are still speaking.

Pam: Right?

>>Eric: All right, you two. Look, you need to take all that in the kitchen before it starts to–

Pam: Someone’s telling us to skedaddle.

Charlie: Ah, is that the same as am-scray?

Pam: Yeah.

Charlie: Come on. That fruitcake ain’t gonna bake itself.

Ridge: So– so– so it’s definite. Brooke is going to be here for christmas.

Eric: Well, donna’s living here with me now. And so quite naturally, her sisters will join us. Look, ridge, in spite of everything that’s happened, I’m quite certain that brooke would love to see you at christmas.

Steffy: You know, finn and i couldn’t be more proud of you.

Kelly: Why?

Finn: You realized the true meaning of christmas. It’s family, friends, togetherness. Steffy: Kindness, generosity, forgiveness. You still can be excited about santa claus.

Finn: You are excited about santa, right?

Kelly: Yeah.

Steffy: Good. Because you’ve been such a wonderful little girl this year.

Kelly: I’m not so little anymore.

Finn: I mean, she’s right, before you know it, she’s–

Steffy: Don’t say it.

Finn: She’s gonna be too old for me to do this.

[Giggling] Got you.

[Giggling]

Kelly: You think santa got hayes’ christmas letter?

Steffy: Oh, the one you helped him with?

Kelly: He’s been really good this year, too.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, you know what I think? Not only did the big guy in the north pole get hayes’ letter, he’s putting something extra special in his bag for hayes’ big sister. So…

Kelly: Why?

Steffy: Because you’ve been the best big sister a little brother could have.

Kelly: I love hayes.

Finn: He loves you.

Steffy: And love is what christmas is all about.

Kelly: You know what I said before?

Steffy: About celebrating christmas? How that and being happy is all that really matters?

>Kelly: My family’s the best. And this is the best christmas ever.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness. I love you.

Brooke: Well, if I hurry, I can still make the rest of that publicity meeting.

Carter: Why? You told them you’d miss it. Why not take a minute, relax, and bask in the good news? What?

Brooke: Nothing. It’s just…

[Grunting]

>>Carter: Come here.

>>Brooke: No, really, I’m okay.

Carter: Come here, come here, come here, come here. Sit down. You have to relax, okay? You don’t have to carry this stress anymore. You got the best possible report from your doctor.

Brooke: I know.

>>Carter: You trust me?

Brooke: Yes.

Carter: Close your eyes.

Brooke: Not sure I trust you.

Carter: It’s either you trust me, you don’T.

Brooke: Okay.

Carter: Good. Now take a nice deep breath. Hold it. And slowly release.

[Chuckling]

Brooke: Okay. Thank you. I forgot to breathe sometimes.

Carter: We all do. Listen, katie, you don’t have to go through this by yourself. I’m not talking about the doctor’s appointment. I’m talking about all the worrying leading up to it. I wish you’d opened up to me. Let me help.

Brooke: You helped just by being there.

Carter: Good. Because I want you to know that whether you’re having good times or not so good ones, whether you’re happy, sad, angry, anxious, or whatever it is you’re feeling right now. I want to be there for you. I realize you’ve been going it alone for a while now. And like I said… you don’t have to be alone anymore. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Carter: Now I don’t have a jet or a yacht…

[Both chuckling] I don’t even think there’s any way for me to express how much those things don’t mean to me. I can’t even tell you how many days, weeks, I felt so isolated in my relationship. Not anymore. No way. I have been given a new lease on life. I am going to use storm’s heart in the best way I know how. Live life to the fullest. I want to laugh. I want to dance. Although you might not want to see that. I’m going to work really hard and I am going to raise my son. Mostly… I am going to love… fully… and completely. Thank you.

[Sniffling]

Ridge: I screwed up, dad. I screwed up. Over and over again. And I’ve…

[Indistinct], They told me so. I’ve been in love with two women for most of my adult life. They were there for me and I… I couldn’t choose one of them. Couldn’t make a choice. Why would they put up with that?

Eric: Because they both loved you so deeply. That’s why.

Ridge: I loved them too. Still do. I let them down over and over again. Turned their families upside down. That’s what I mean. I gotta… I gotta change this. I… I gotta find a way to be a better man.

Eric: Well… whether you accomplish that or not…

[Chuckling] I’ll still be your old man. Right?

Ridge: I love you.

Eric: I love you, too, boy.

Ridge: Thank you so much.

Eric: Oh, boy.

Steffy: Kelly’s making christmas cards for her two grandmas and grandpa ridge.

Finn: And I made us some eggnog from eric’s recipe.

Steffy: Stop. You didn’T.

Finn: I did. Although it’s a much lighter pour than your grandfather’S. And I set some aside for the kids later. Some regular eggnog.

Steffy: It’s really beginning to look a lot like christmas.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, the tree is decorated, the presents are wrapped, and stockings are hung by the chimney with care.

Steffy: I keep thinking about kelly’s wise words. She’s right, you know. This is the greatest christmas ever, because… we’re together. When I think about what happened that day in monaco. It was the most miraculous of miracles.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: See you standing there…

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: It was truly the greatest gift imaginable.

Finn: It’s me. I found you. It’s me. It’s really me.

Steffy: Oh, my god. I love you. So much. Merry christmas.

[ Relaxing music ]

Taylor: Steffy, hey. What is going on? I– I woke up to– to security and– and a text from you.

Steffy: Yeah. I– I’m so sorry, I should’ve called you, but yesterday, I was just so shaken up.

Taylor: What is, baby? Tell me. I’m here.

Steffy: It’s a lot.

Carter: Hey, you said it’s an emergency?

Steffy: Yes, it is.

Carter: What is?

Steffy: Look, I’m telling you this, not only that you’re our coo, but you’re also a member of the family and you… you might be targeted.

Carter: Targeted?

Steffy: Yes. Sheila. She’s here in los angeles.

Carter: Okay, steffy. I know you and finn have your theory.

Steffy: No, no. It’s not a theory, carter. I saw her with my own eyes.

Taylor: What?

Carter: You saw sheila?

Steffy: Yes!

Taylor: Wh– she’s alive?

Steffy: Sheila carter is alive.

Brooke: Just when I felt like we could breathe.

Katie: Sheila shows up.

Brooke: I was so relived when they said that she was gone.

Katie: I mean, we all were. I mean, they’re going to find her. They have to.

Brooke: Just to think that she’s out there somewhere. I don’t want to think about sheila. Let’s talk about you. You said you were worried about bill.

Katie: Yeah, I am. He just seems so lost and angry. I’m just– I’m worried that he’s slipping back into his old ways.

Brooke: Sorry to hear that. I mean, when he came over to my house, when ridge and taylor were getting married.

Katie: Oh, you mean when you turned him down and he immediately gave me the same “I need you” pitch?

Brooke: Yeah.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: That was really strange. I mean, that was so unlike bill. I can understand why you’re moving on. Who would ever even entertain being with him after that?

Katie: Well, I guess years of pushing people away makes for a lonely existence.

Brooke: Well, he has his sons.

Katie: Yeah, but will’s at school. Wyatt and liam have their own lives.

Brooke: You.

Katie: He’s will’s dad and I will always care about him, but that’s kind of as far as it goes these days. I think there’s always this piece of me that really held onto the hope that things might work out, but not so much anymore. You know what? Life is too short. It is too short to waste time being unhappy.

Brooke: Are you okay?

Katie: Yeah. Yes. It’s just– it is my… my follow up for my annual cardiology check up.

Brooke: What?

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: You do that always in the spring. I asked you about it, you said you’re okay.

Katie: I am. I’m fine. Been fine. You know, it’s just– it was so busy. Will being at school and hope’s fashion show and just, you know, a million other things.

Brooke: Mm. Is that really why? Or were you scared to go?

Taylor: I can’t believe this. Are– are you okay? Did she try to come after you?

Steffy: No. No, she had on some kind of wig and a mask.

Carter: A mask? Okay, I thought it was farfetched when you told us she cut off her toe and faked her death, but how is this real?

Taylor: Because she will go to any length for her own survival.

Steffy: Including shooting me and her own son.

Carter: How did you find her?

Steffy: I accidentally bumped into her at il giardino.

Carter: Wait, wait. She went back to the scene of the crime?

Steffy: Yes. But she was in this disguise. And I looked at her feet and I noticed that she was missing a toe and when I locked eyes with her, I realized it was sheila, but I was so stunned and in the moment that she ended up taking off. And then, we called the police and they said that they caught some footage of her nearby the restaurant. Forensic confirmed it was her with facial recognition. Underneath that disguise, it was sheila. The monster we all know and fear.

Katie: To be honest, I really don’t wanna talk about this right now.

Brooke: Okay.

Katie: I– you know what? I’m fine. I am. I’m going to this checkup, I can handle whatever the doctor says. And I– I don’t wanna be harsh, it’s just that these– these things just bring up a lot for me.

Brooke: I understand. I’ll go with you.

Katie: No, no. I’m fine.

Brooke: Katie.

Katie: No, really. I’m okay. It’s not my first rodeo. I can do this on my own.

Brooke: You don’t have to. I know you. You’re worried and you’re stressed out and I wanna be there for you.

Katie: You are. You always are. You and donna both. You’re always there for me, it’s just… these things, every year, it just brings everything to the surface and I feel like– like it was yesterday almost where I was laying in that– that hospital room and everyone was surrounding me and hoping that I would survive and what storm did. You know, what he gave me so that I could live and I have. I have lived. I have this amazing career, I have this amazing son. You know, I… my brother’s heart is beating inside of me and it’s a miracle. It’s a miracle. But we all know that I’m living on borrowed time. We really had our hands full

Carter: So, sheila’s been here this whole time, running around in a wig and a mask?

Taylor: And I can’t believe no one recognized her. Wigs always look so fake. I mean, she could’ve been anywhere. She could’ve hurt one of us.

Steffy: Or hayes.

Taylor: Oh, steffy.

Steffy: We had our guards down because we thought sheila was dead.

Carter: Okay, so you said the forensic team were able to tell she was wearing a disguise.

Steffy: Baker confirmed it. Showed us side-by-side imaging. 98% match when comparing her bone structure and iris scans to her mug shot.

Taylor: Honey, you know, I’m so glad that you and finn went forward with this hunch about her, but please tell me the police have leads.

Steffy: Well, they found some footage of her going into a car and we were able to pull the license plate number.

Carter: That’s huge.

Steffy: Yeah, it is. We were with baker when he got a call from an officer and he said that he found that car. And then, he put his sirens on and that’s when sheila fled. It was a car chase and somehow, she ended up escaping.

Taylor: Oh, my god. She got away, of course.

Carter: How?

Steffy: I don’t know. She just– she hopped the parkway. We thought we had her, but we didn’T.

Carter: So, what do we do now?

Steffy: We have to stay vigilant. Sheila’s out there somewhere, but the police think that she’s gonna stay in a certain radius, west of beverly hills.

Taylor: Great, which is where most of us live.

Carter: Why? I mean, she breaks out of prison, she fakes her death, she escapes the cops, why is she still here? Why is she still in L.A.?

Steffy: Because she’s obsessed with my family, but that is her weakness. I mean, she is an idiot, staying her in los angeles because we are going to find her and when we do, we are going to put her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life.

Brooke: May I?

Katie: Oh.

Brooke: Storm gave you the ultimate gift: His heart. He loves you so much. I’m sure he’s looking down on you right now, just so proud of you, just like we all are. You bring so much joy and so much light into the world. I’m just sorry you had to go through all of this.

Katie: I’m not– I’m not dwelling on it. I’m really not. I mean, you know what? This is going to be an amazing holiday. I’m gonna go to eric’s and I’m going to spend christmas with my sisters and with all my friends and that’s what I’m gonna focus on. Just being with the people I love and the people who– who make me feel loved and make me feel good. I just need to get this doctor’s appointment out of the way.

Brooke: Okay. I’m going with you.

Katie: No, no you’re not. I just– I really wanna just do this by myself.

Brooke: Katie.

Katie: No, brooke.

Brooke: Oh. I just love you so much, you know that? And I don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you. You’re just so loving and thoughtful in my life, but I really am grateful. I am. You’re a very special person. I knew that since the day you were born. I did. And you deserve to live and you will. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Carter: Hey.

Brooke: Hey, carter.

Carter: Have you seen katie? She wasn’t in her office and she’s not answering her phone.

Brooke: She’s probably still at her doctor’s appointment.

Carter: Doctor’s appointment?

Brooke: Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, she didn’t tell you? I thought she would have because you guys have been getting so close.

Carter: No, she didn’t say anything at all. What kind of an appointment is it?

Brooke: It’s her annual regarding her heart transplant.

Carter: Is she okay?

Brooke: Honestly? No. I mean, she’s just scared. She’s never sure how the test results are gonna come back. I wanted to go with her, but she insisted on going alone.

Carter: Well, she shouldn’t be by herself.

Brooke: I agree.

[ Katie sighing ]

Nurse: Hello, ms. Logan. I’m dr. Buckingham’s nurse. I’m so sorry to keep you waiting. Dr. Buckingham’s running behind. She’ll be with you as soon as he can.

Katie: Thank you.

Taylor: Hey, is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah, just checking in on finn.

Taylor: God, I can’t imagine what he must be going through right now.

Steffy: He’s trying to stay strong for the kids and me. I mean, not in a million years would he think that his mother is some sort of murderous psychopath.

Taylor: I know, honey. God, I just– you know what? This is all going to be over soon, it is.

Steffy: I know. Sheila will get caught. She will. I just– I don’t want to think about her right now. I just need a moment.

Taylor: Yes, okay. Let’s not– let’s not talk about it.

Steffy: There is something I wanna tell you. Like, you know how much I wanted you and dad back together, but not at the cost of your own self-worth.

Taylor: I know. Look, your dad and I will always love each other, but it’s– it’s– it feels really good just to let go, you know?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: You and brooke on the same side. I never thought I’d see the day.

Taylor: Right?

Steffy: I wonder what’s going through dad’s mind.

Taylor: Oh, when we told him, he– he, you know, he– he played it cool, you know? But you could tell he was not ready for it at all. Steffy, it felt so good. He did apologize to us for– for hurting both of us and for not being honest, but, you know, it’s um– you know, I’ll– I’ll always love your dad, I really will, but it was– it was good to love myself more, you know? And brooke and i both agreed that it’s time for us to be role models, you know? To our family. To you, to hope, to our grandkids.

Steffy: You’ve always been a great role model, mom. Come on.

Taylor: Well, thank you. I mean, I definitely made my fair share of mistakes.

Steffy: Okay, stop. Please stop. Look, you can’t be hard on yourself. I mean, I was the one who pushed you towards dad, wanted you two to reunite, but I’m not gonna do that anymore. I really need to focus on my husband and my kids and not your relationship, so I– I am so sorry.

Taylor: Oh, god, honey. Please don’t apologize. Seriously. You just wanted to see your parents together. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Steffy: What about the wedding? I feel like I let you down when I objected.

Taylor: Nope. You told the truth. That’s all you did.

Steffy: Yeah, but it wasn’t mine to tell. Maybe I should’ve waited for you to tell dad about thomas when you thought the time was right. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Taylor: Steffy.

Steffy: Look, I know what you’re gonna say, that it wasn’t my fault.

Taylor: Nope.

Steffy: I have to tell you, I am really, really proud of you for standing up for yourself. And I’m kind of proud of brooke too, believe it or not.

Taylor: Yes, yes, yes. And steffy, you did the right thing. I mean, I– I couldn’t do it at the time, you know? I admire you and you are everything a mother could ever want in a daughter.

Taylor: I love you so much, steffy.

Steffy: I love you too. Hey, we’re in this together. And there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you. Nothing.

Brooke: You listen to me. You can be angry, you can be mad, you can feel robbed or you can feel like this is a second lease on life. It is your choice. Do you really want to live with all of that negativity? Do you? Or do you wanna embrace life and live it to the fullest?

[ Door opening ]

Katie: Carter, what, uh… what are you doing here?

Carter: I spoke to brooke and she told me about your appointment.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: You didn’t have to come. I– I’m a big girl. I know what I’m walking into every time I’m in a doctor’s office. I– I understand the reality of my situation, that’s what I told brooke.

[ Katie sighing ] See? That. That’s what I don’t want. I don’t want you feeling sorry for me. I can do this alone. I’ve been doing this alone for a long time.

Carter: I don’t feel sorry for you. I’m in awe of you. You have so much courage, so much strength and i understand you’ve been going at it alone for a while now and it breaks my heart. You’ve given so much to everyone else, let me give to you. Let me be there for you. You can lean on me. I won’t break.

Grace: I am so sorry to keep you waiting. Um…

Katie: It’s okay. That’s all right. We understand.

Grace: Carter.

Carter: Dr. Buckingham.

Katie: Um, carter’s just here for support. I hope that’s not a problem.

Grace: Of course not. Paris has moved on and so have I.

Katie: Uh, do you have my test results?

Grace: Yes, I do.

Katie: Go ahead, doctor. Tell me what my results say. . . . . .

Baker: Officer, don’t lose her, but be aware, perp is very dangerous.

[ Sirens blaring ]

Steffy: Are you sure it’s sheila carter driving the car?

Baker: Do you have a positive id?

Officer: Affirmative. Matches subject’s description.

Perp is driving a silver suv

transitioning from

405 south to 105 east.

Finn: Okay, well, don’t lose her. She can’t get away again.

Baker: Suspect is dangerous. Assumed to be armed. Stay on her. Backup is on its way.

Officer: Copy.

Baker: Is anyone else in the car?

Officer: Negative.

I don’t see anyone.

She’s accelerating. Trying to evade.

[ Sirens blaring ]

Katie: Well, I’m proud of you, you know, and choosing yourself, setting a good example, but ridge has been the love of your life.

Brooke: Yes, he is. He’s always been the center of it. The motivation behind every decision I’ve ever made. I mean, think about it. How much energy did I spend trying to hang onto him or trying to fight for him? And taylor lived her life pretty much the same way, so it had to stop.

Katie: So, you’re just ending the tug of war? You’re both dropping the rope?

Brooke: We’re ending the anxiety and the uncertainty and feeling less than. Ridge went away to do some thinking and taylor and I did some thinking of our own.

Katie: Sounds like it.

Brooke: And ridge is very important to both of us, but we need to take care of ourselves.

Katie: And you said all this to ridge?

Brooke: Yeah. Taylor and i were waiting for him in his office when he got back.

Katie: Oh! That must have been a surprise for him, the two of you together.

Brooke: I think he was more surprised to find out why.

Katie: So, you did it? Literally, you kissed ridge goodbye.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, it’s about time, right?

Katie: Well, I know what it’s like to reach that point where you’ve just had enough. You know, you can’t do this anymore and you have to move on. And I also know that that can feel liberating, but it’s not always easy. So tell me, how do you really feel about all this?

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Car honking ]

Sheila: No, no. I’m not going back to prison. I’m not going back to prison.

Finn: How long until backup gets there?

Steffy: Try to cut her off. Do a pit maneuver.

Baker: That’s too reckless. We don’t want to endanger the public.

Finn: No, letting sheila get away is the most dangerous thing that you could do.

Baker: Officer, talk to me. What’s– what’s your choice?

Officer: Still in pursuit.

Currently on the 605 north,

getting on the 210 westbound.

Suspect is driving erratically.

Baker: Backup should be there any minute.

Finn: Okay, well they better get there fast. You give sheila too much time, there’s no telling what she could do.

Steffy: She shot her own son. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect herself.

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Brakes squeaking ]

Sheila: Move! Move! I’m steve.

Katie: I’m not questioning your decision, but I just want you to know, you can be honest with me. I mean, ridge has been a huge part of your life for a long time.

Brooke: And I will miss him.

Katie: So, you are feeling a little bit of a loss?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: A little, but for the most part I just feel so… so free.

Katie: From ridge?

Brooke: Oh! From this whole cycle that I allowed to happen for so, so long. I’ve been putting all my faith in our destiny when I should have been putting all that faith in myself.

Katie: So, you’re okay?

Brooke: Yeah, I’m okay. I did the right thing for me and for my family. And we weren’t punishing ridge or belittling him in any way.

Katie: Well, you and taylor had every right to feel angry. I mean, he left you and aspen and then, my god, he left taylor at the altar.

Brooke: I know, that was terrible. Really. It was something that taylor and I would blame each other on in the past.

Katie: But not anymore.

Brooke: No, never again!

Katie: I mean, I don’t mean to overstate this but this is huge for you!

Brooke: Yeah. Kind of feels that way to me too. I just didn’t see the point anymore. To blame taylor for my unhappiness or her children to blame me for hers. It didn’t make sense. I mean, we all have choices to make, right? So taylor and I made ours.

Katie: To stop fighting over ridge.

Brooke: I can see how beneficial that is now. Also, I see how at peace you are from moving on from bill. And donna, she chose herself and then she found joy with eric.

Katie: Well, if you’re looking for more peace and joy, you can come to eric’s house for christmas.

Brooke: I will be there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Katie: Yay! Yay! Good.

Brooke: And also this year is gonna be even more special because donna is gonna be there hosting it with him.

Katie: You don’t think thomas will come, do you?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, taylor said that he’s gone underground. Nobody’s heard from him.

Katie: It’s probably for the best.

Brooke: Well, we don’t really wanna think about thomas when we have somebody else we need to think about. Sheila carter’s on the loose.

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: Come on, come on.

Officer: She’s trying to

lose me.

Finn: Where is air support?

Steffy: Oh, this can’t be happening.

Baker: Stay with her, officer. Stay with her!

Officer: Heading

towards downtown.

Sheila: No, don’t stop. No, no, no, no, no. Why are you stopping?

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Car honking ]

[ Loud, continuous car honk ]

[ Sheila groaning ]

Officer: The vehicle

stopped.

Finn: Look, if sheila gets out of the car, she could be armed.

Steffy: Oh, my god! Where’s backup?

Baker: Do not let her get away, officer! Do not let her get away! (Vo) red lobster. The finer points of fun dining

Brooke: There you go.

Katie: Thank you.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I was hoping to see R.J. Over the holidays, but he isn’t coming home.

Katie: Neither is will.

Brooke: Our independent boys.

Katie: Mm-hmm. So R.J., Um, is spending the holidays with friends?

Brooke: Yeah. He was so excited about it. I couldn’t really complain.

Katie: But you wanted to. I know the feeling.

Brooke: I just miss him. I wanna see him, but they have their lives to lead. So what’s will doing?

Katie: Uh, he’s skiing with friends.

Brooke: Oh, nice! And bill didn’t make a big push for the family to be together for christmas?

Katie: Oh, he did. He did. He– he suggested that we, I don’t know, sail around on the stella maris. He– it was crazy because his week long suggestion suddenly turned into months and I– I tried to say no gently, but he was just, he was so upset and hurt and vulnerable. I just don’t know what’s going on with him.

Brooke: Well, it could be a difficult time of the year.

Katie: Yeah. Yeah, it is. Especially with families like ours. And we’re all spread out all over the place and connections are frayed and I just… I don’t know when I’ll see bill again. I mean there’s really no reason to anytime soon. I’m not gonna see him over the holidays.

Brooke: Maybe he’ll meet up with will somewhere.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: I don’t think we’ll be seeing thomas. And we may have an unexpected visitor on the radar.

Katie: Oh, don’t say it!

Brooke: Sheila could be anywhere.

Katie: You don’t think she’d stick around los angeles, do you?

Brooke: I don’t know. She didn’t make a run for it before. We all thought she was dead!

Katie: This whole thing is insane! I mean, faking your own death, cutting off a toe. It’s crazy, even for sheila.

Brooke: Oh, god! It’s ridiculous. It just shows the length she’ll go to. She’s capable of anything.

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: Uh!

[ Car honking ]

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: I’m not going down like this. No way! No way!

Finn: Did he get her?

Baker: Officer, what’s going on?

Officer: There’s heavy

traffic, side streets are

blocked. She has nowhere to go.

Finn: She’s cornered?

Steffy: Don’t wait. Get her. Get her now!

Baker: Officer, as soon as you’re clear, you have go ahead to move in.

Officer: Attention,

this is lapd.

Everyone remain in

your vehicles.

Repeat. Remain inside

your vehicles. Police officer.

No, stay in your car.

Stay in your car.

[ Tires screeching ]

Officer: Get down!

[ Cars honking]

Suspect fleeing.

I need backup now!

Steffy: What’s happening?

Baker: Officer?

Officer: Delivery truck

moved, there was an opening,

sheila took it.

She cut over the parkway

and took off eastbound.

I’m blocked in.

Suspect is at large. Repeat.

Suspect is at large.

Steffy: No!

Baker: Go after her.

Officer: I can’t get around.

She’s gone. She–

sheila carter is gone.

Sheila: I’ll never count me out.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Baker: I want all units canvassing the area. She doesn’t have a lot of options right now. Updates every ten minutes.

Finn: So that– that’s it? We just search the city?

Baker: She can’t have gotten far.

Steffy: How can this happen? One minute, she’s trapped, and the next, she’s gone?

Baker: We’re going to find her. Now, unfortunately we lost her around beverly hills, so that’s close to your families. They need to be extremely careful. Alert your security teams.

Finn: Look, you– you– you had her! She was about to be caught!

Baker: We’ll get her back.

Finn: How? Every time we close in on her, she slips away. How much closer do we need to get? My family’s in incredible danger right now!

Baker: And I intend to make sure that nothing happens to them. Sheila carter has been playing games with us, but she’s not going to win. I’m going to find her and I’m going to bring her to justice.

Steffy: I wanna believe you, chief, but sheila has been playing this game long enough and she always escapes!

Brooke: I know sheila is dangerous, but if she really wanted to harm us, she’s had plenty of time.

Katie: Maybe she’ll leave town.

Brooke: Maybe or she’ll try.

Katie: Do you think they’ll catch her?

Brooke: I certainly hope so. Until they do, we can’t let this paralyze us with fear because I know that’s what she wants. That’s how she can control us. But we need this. We need this time to celebrate. We have to have this holiday together.

Katie: Do you have enough security?

Brooke: As much as we can without turning the house and the office into a fortress.

Katie: Oh, it’s sheila who should be in jail, not us.

Brooke: Exactly.

Katie: Have you heard anything new from the police?

Brooke: They’re updating their security team, and if there’s something we need to be aware of, I’m sure they’ll tell us.

Katie: Do you feel confident that sheila will be found?

Brooke: She can’t get away this time.

Finn: Are they gonna find her? She couldn’t have gone far.

Steffy: That’s what I’m afraid of. My family lives in that neighborhood. I mean, she could be headed there right now.

Finn: Well, you heard the cops. She’s fleeing.

Steffy: And she always escapes! Look what happened last time! She shows up and she took you hostage.

Finn: Okay. Nothing like that’s gonna happen again.

Steffy: Something always happens when it comes to sheila! She terrorized our family. She attacked my mother, my grandmother, and when we finally thought we could put her behind us, you know what she does? She shows up! She shows up at our wedding and she announces that she’s your birth mother! She’s a threat to us and she’s a threat to our children. And when I finally figured out a way to drive her away, I forgot. I forgot who I was dealing with.

Finn: Hey. Hey. You’re just trying to protect your family, okay?

Steffy: You’re not

going anywhere.

Sheila: Let go of me.

What the hell do you think

you’re doing?

Steffy: You claim to be

this reformed woman.

You said you put your

devious ways behind you.

Sheila: I have.

Steffy: You’re– you’re just

sick, you’re unhinged.

You shot my mother!

Maybe she can forgive you,

but I can’T.

Now, you need to stay away

from us.

You should be behind bars.

Sheila: I served my time.

Steffy: It didn’t do you

any good!

You didn’t come out

a better person.

You hurt people to get

what you want.

You hurt brooke to have access

to finn and hayes,

access you’re never gonna have!

Sheila: Because you say so.

Steffy: That’s right.

Finn is my husband.

Hayes is my son.

I’m in control,

so know when to give up.

Sheila: Never!

Steffy: Everyone’s gonna

know what you did, sheila.

Everyone’s gonna know

the truth.

Sheila: Oh, it’s not gonna

happen. Steffy, I can stop you.

Steffy: From going to

my father? Not a chance.

Sheila: You know what?

I will if I have to.

You know what it’s like.

You’re a mother. You’d do the same.

Steffy: I tried to put an end to her reign of terror, instead, she takes out a gun–

[ Gun shot ] And tries to take my life.

Finn: I couldn’t let her do that.

Steffy: You risked your life to save me. You could have died.

Finn: I almost died, but I fought my way back so I could come home to you, right? So, I could be your husband again and be a father to our kids. That’s all I thought about when I was wounded and trapped in that room. It was our family and our life together. That’s all I’m thinking about right now, okay? That’s how I know that they’re gonna find sheila and bring her to justice because I am not gonna give up until they do. Sheila’s gonna go to prison and our family will be safe.

Steffy: Oh, god!

Finn: Okay?

Steffy: Oh!

Sheila: You thought you could catch me? Think again. [ Evil laughter ]

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Door slams ]

Finn: Wait, so, brooke and taylor were united?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: That’s crazy.

Steffy: I– I know, it was so crazy. But, like, in the best way.

Finn: Wait, and you’re not disappointed? I mean, you’ve been pushing so hard to get your parents back together.

Steffy: Well, I’ve always wanted my mom to be happy, but I thought, you know, some of her happiness would be, with my father. But to see my mother and brooke put their differences aside, and choose themselves over a man? The happiness was there. And it was really powerful, and, inspiring. I’m so proud of my mom.

Finn: I am, too. But, I am nervous about mine. I mean, as much as I want to applaud brooke and taylor, it’s hard to have anything else on my mind, other than sheila, knowing that she’s still alive.

[ Knocking at door ]

Eric: Carter.

Carter: Hey, eric. Um, what’s going on?

Eric: I was hoping to have a word with you. Alone.

Carter: Okay

[ Uncomfortable chuckle ]

Bill: You’re guarded. I– I don’t blame you. But you could’ve phoned me off, you didn’t have come tonight, bu– but you did. You’re here. And that tells me, that maybe, you really do still care about me.

Katie: Bill, of course I care about you. I will always care about you–

Bill: Well, if that’s true, then you have to at least consider what I’m saying. Tonight could be a new beginning for us. But you have no idea how much I need that. Please, katie. Tell me you need it, too?

Carter: Is something going on?

Eric: Yeah, carter, um… we haven’t had a chance to talk. Not since, uh… everything that happened between us.

Carter: Yes, eric–

Eric: Yeah, look, I have donna in my life now, and she makes me very, very, happy, and I want you to be able to be happy, too. And, from what donna’s telling me, um–

Carter: Oh, [ Chuckles ] I think I know where this is going.

Eric: Yeah, to, ah, you and katie. Is that, uh, is that true?

Carter: We’ve been spending time together, yes.

Eric: She’s very important to me, carter. I would hate to see katie to get hurt.

Carter: I only want what’s best for katie, and whether that’s me or not, is too early to tell, but… I’m hoping so, but that’s katie’s decision. There is one thing I am certain of though. When it comes for what’s best for katie, it sure as hell isn’t bill.

Katie: We have talked about this. There’s nothing–

Bill: Okay, but before you answer, there’s something I want to give you.

Katie: I don’t want any gifts.

Bill: Oh, come on! I mean, ’tis the season, you don’t want me to be scrooge this year!

Katie: Okay, but seriously, I don’t need anything.

Bill: Oh, but that’s what the beauty of it. It’s not a thing, all right? It’s an experience.

Katie: An experience?

Bill: You, me, and will. A week aboard the stella maris. You name the destination, and I will make it happen. C’mon katie, doesn’t that sound beautiful? I mean, the three of us, we haven’t been together in such a long time. Oh c’mon, please. Please let me arrange this. Will would love it. It’ll give us a chance to bond together as a family. I-I know you want that. And, I want it, too. More than you could possibly imagine.

Steffy: It still freaks me out that I bumped into sheila.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: I wish I’d gone after her. Maybe she’d be back behind bars by now.

Finn: No, look, you were in shock. Hey, don’t blame yourself.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Chief baker!

Finn: Do you have any news?

Steffy: Have you found her? Have you found sheila? My name is austin james. As a musician living with diabete

Eric: Well, I wish you luck. Katie has tried to move on from bill before.

Carter: And it’s never quite worked out.

Eric: No, it hasn’T.

Carter: I know.

Eric: Maybe this time it’ll be different, you know, their son is older. Keeping a family unit together for his sake may not be as important anymore.

Carter: No, I think katie’s finally realized that bill can’t give her what she needs. A man who can commit to only her, and not have eyes for her sister.

Eric: It’s a reasonable request for any relationship, wouldn’t you say?

Carter: I think so. No, katie would not have to worry about that with me. If I was lucky enough to be with her, she would never have to question my commitment.

Eric: You should tell katie that. Maybe under some mistletoe.

Carter: Mistletoe?

Eric: Uh-huh. Why don’t you come to the house for christmas, if you don’t have any other plans? Katie’ll be there.

Carter: Thank you. Yeah, I’d love to.

Eric: Oh, and as an added incentive, ah, bill is not on the guest list.

Carter: That’s even better.

[ Both chuckling ] Actually, she’s, um, with him now.

Eric: She is?

Carter: He reached out. Asked her to come over, she said he doesn’t sound like himself.

Eric: Yeah, well, whatever it is, it’s– it’s a manipulation. It’s a ploy.

Carter: A ploy?

Eric: He’s trying to get her to come back.

Bill: What better way to spend the holidays than the three of us, alone on our yacht, away from it all?

Katie: So you– you wanna do this soon?

Bill: Listen, we– we can stay away for weeks, for months, there’s no reason not to. Katie, I need this. You’ve no idea how much I need this time with you and our son.

Katie: I get that you want it, but, you– you keep saying that you need it.

Bill: I do. Seriously. You are my anchor. And, without you, I’ve– I’m sort of floating, uh, around, lately. Without you to ground me, it is a need. You are. I need you katie, like never before.

Finn: Is that why you’re here? You got sheila?

Steffy: Please say that’s true.

Chief baker: Not quite.

Steffy: What do you mean, not quite?

Chief baker: Well, it took a bit of digging, but we were able to pull some footage of her.

Steffy: But– but deacon said that they weren’t able to catch anything on camera at el jardino?

Chief baker: You think I trust deacon sharp? Hmph. No. We checked nearby establishments. A place down the street caught her on camera, she was leaving the restaurant. Didn’t look much like sheila, either, I’ll tell ya that. We have a direct match. Sheila carter is alive. Here we have our mystery woman caught on camera.

Steffy: This is the woman I bumped into!

Chief baker: Forensics was able to confirm with facial recognition, and retinal scan. It’s a 98% match. In our world, it means “no doubt”.

Finn: I knew it! I knew it!

Steffy: Oh my god, this whole time! Sheila really has been alive! When our daughter and her kids moved in with us… our bargain detergent couldn’t keep up. Turns out it’s mostly water. So, we switched back to tide. One wash, stains are gone.

[Daughter] Slurping

don’t pay for water.

Pay for clean.

It’s got to be tide.

Bill: I can’t do it. I can’t go at it alone, anymore.

Katie: Go at what, alone?

Bill: Life.

Katie: Bill. You’re lonely. That’s what this is all about.

[ Chuckling ]

Bill: I– I know– I know this doesn’t– doesn’t sound like me. But I– I– I feel like I’m losing myself.

Katie: Yet, you’re still wearing that necklace. You still, decided to put it on. Even though you know what it stands for. Do you really think that that’s gonna… lead you back to who you wanna be?

Bill: Then help me! Please? Anchor me. Anchor me, katie.

Katie: I can’T. I can’t be your anchor, bill. I can’T. It’s too much!

[ Sharp inhale ] I can’t hold you in place. You say that you need me. And I believe you, I do. I believe you, but– but you’ve also said that you need brooke, or someone like her. That– that’s what you want. You want to float, and do whatever you wanna do. You don’t want an anchor. Maybe you want someone who sees that sword, and admires it, for– for everything it signifies.

Bill: No, no. No, you– you’re not hearing me. You don’t understand. I really do need you–

Katie: What about– what about– what about what I need! I mean, it’s always been about what you want and what you need, and maybe– maybe, I need someone to hear me? You say that you– you keep learning things about yourself everyday. Your– you’re learning things about yourself. And you’ve done that. You’ve done that on your own, so maybe, maybe, you, should– should go to your yacht, and spend some time alone there, ’cause I– I can’t be with you.

Bill: What are you doing?

Katie: I’m– I’m gonna, um, I’m gonna get somebody to come pick me up–

Bill: No, no, no, no no. Please– please don’t leave–

Katie: I can’t, I can’T. I can’t give you what you want, bill, I can’t give you what you need.

Bill: Don’t go, not yet.

Katie: It was a mistake for me to come here

Bill: Please don’t, look, I can’t stand being alone in this house, and I can’t stand, I gained an enormous amount of weight due to a medication I was put on. When I started the golo plan and taking release, I was surprised at how easy it was for the weight to come off. I’ve never done anything better in my life.

Bill: I can’t do it. I can’t go at it alone, anymore.

Katie: Go at what, alone?

Bill: Life.

Katie: Bill. You’re lonely. That’s what this is all about.

[ Chuckling ]

Bill: I– I know– I know this doesn’t– doesn’t sound like me. But I– I– I feel like I’m losing myself.

Katie: Yet, you’re still wearing that necklace. You still, decided to put it on. Even though you know what it stands for. Do you really think that that’s gonna… lead you back to who you wanna be?

Bill: Then help me! Please? Anchor me. Anchor me, katie.

Katie: I can’T. I can’t be your anchor, bill. I can’T. It’s too much!

[ Sharp inhale ] I can’t hold you in place. You say that you need me. And I believe you, I do. I believe you, but– but you’ve also said that you need brooke, or someone like her. That– that’s what you want. You want to float, and do whatever you wanna do. You don’t want an anchor. Maybe you want someone who sees that sword, and admires it, for– for everything it signifies.

Bill: No, no. No, you– you’re not hearing me. You don’t understand. I really do need you–

Katie: What about– what about– what about what I need! I mean, it’s always been about what you want and what you need, and maybe– maybe, I need someone to hear me? You say that you– you keep learning things about yourself everyday. Your– you’re learning things about yourself. And you’ve done that. You’ve done that on your own, so maybe, maybe, you, should– should go to your yacht, and spend some time alone there, ’cause I– I can’t be with you.

Bill: What are you doing?

Katie: I’m– I’m gonna, um, I’m gonna get somebody to come pick me up–

Bill: No, no, no, no no. Please– please don’t leave–

Katie: I can’t, I can’T. I can’t give you what you want, bill, I can’t give you what you need.

Bill: Don’t go, not yet.

Katie: It was a mistake for me to come here

Bill: Please don’t, look, I can’t stand being alone in this house, and I can’t stand, who I am without you. You’re right. You’re right. You don’t know how right you are. I– I am not a good person–

Katie: You, just– stop, stop, stop saying that! Stop saying those words. You’re not a bad person!

Bill: When I have you, when you’re leading the way. That is the man I want to be. I swear. I swear, katie, I have a greater appreciation for you, now more than ever. I love you. I want to you back. Yes, I– I need you. You don’t like this necklace. I– I don’t care, I– I– I’ll take it off. I’ll throw it away. I’m only wearing it because I– I feel, like I, uh, need it for, protection. But if I have you, I don’t need it anymore. So, here, here, come here.

Katie: No.

Bill: You– you take it. Take it. You do whatever, you want to do with it. I don’t care. I only care about you. That’s all I care about. I just care that you will come back to me. You will come back to me. You will stay by my side. Stay by my side, forever. Please, katie?

Finn: Look, we were all but certain that sheila severed her own toe and staged the bear attack. It was just a theory. Now the police have actual proof, after your bump-in with her.

Chief baker: I have to commend the both of you for re-examining the evidence. If it wasn’t for you two, this case would still be closed.

Steffy: Okay, but we’re still no closer to catching her.

Chief baker: I wouldn’t say that. The security footage was very useful. Not just in terms of proving that sheila was alive, but also, telling us where to find her.

Steffy: You know what kind of car she was driving?

Chief baker: Even better. Her license plate.

Steffy: Oh, my god, this is great!

Chief baker: A stolen vehicle. No surprise there. We’re circling in on her. It’s only a matter of time, before sheila carter is found and arrested. I’m jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance th

Bill: Katie, uh, please, please cancel the ride.

Katie: I think it’s best if I go.

Bill: No! It’s not best. We need to talk this through.

Katie: I think we’ve said everything we need to say.

Bill: We haven’t! We haven’T. There’s too much more. I promise you. I promise you. I will be the man that you need.

Katie: What happens when I believe you? What happens when you hurt me again?

Bill: That won’t happen. Those days are– are behind us, those days are– are over. I swear to you. I will be exactly the man that you want me to be. You gotta listen to me. If you don’T… katie, it’s now or never.

[ Knock on the door ]

Katie: He’s here.

Bill: Who’s here?

Katie: I didn’t use an app. I– I texted a friend.

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Thank you for coming.

Carter: Not a problem. Bill.

Bill: Don’t do this. You can’t be with him. Here. Here is where you belong. With me. With me.

Katie: Goodbye, bill.

Bill: Don’t, katie.

Chief baker: Sheila can’t hide forever. Especially now that we have plates. I got the entire lapd looking out for that car.

Finn: If she’s still in town.

Chief baker: I’ll drop this picture off to your head of security. They need to know what she looks like in disguise.

Steffy: Okay, thank you.

[ Phone rings ]

Chief baker: Oh, excuse me one second. Baker.

Policeman: Sir, I’ve got her.

Chief baker: Sheila carter?

Policeman: Her car. Description. I’m tailing her. Southbound on la cienega.

Chief baker: I’m putting you on speaker. Did you call it in?

Policeman: You were

my first call.

Not sure if she’s

monitoring scanners.

Chief baker: Officer, don’t lose her! But, be aware, perp is very dangerous.

Policeman: Copy.

[ Police sirens blaring ]

Appears vehicle is getting

on the 405 heading south.

[ Sirens continue ] The suspect is fleeing.

Steffy: Follow her! Is he– are you following her?

Policeman: In pursuit.

Chief bake: Don’t lose her.

Finn: You– you can’t let sheila get away!
