Katie: You could stop this right now.

Sheila: Now, why would he want to do that?

Katie: She’s done something to you. I can see that. You don’t have to let her hold you hostage.

Sheila: He’s with me of his own free will.

Katie: I don’t know why you’re blackmailing steffy and finn. I don’t know why. I don’t need to know why. But they’re terrified. They won’t testify against her because of your threats. And I don’t understand why you would do that, why you would use all of your power and your influence to defend her. To do what? To keep her out of prison because you’re in some kind of relationship. It’s just crazy. It’s ludicrous. I don’t believe it. I will never accept it.

Sheila: You don’t have a choice.

Katie: This is not the kind of man you want to be. This is not the man I fell in love with. This is not the father, the good father that I know. You’re letting her walk all over you. Why? Stop it. Snap out of it, bill.

Finn: Ever since sheila has come into our lives, it’s just been one nightmare after another.

Steffy: No. She’s not giving up. And now she’s free. Bill’s blackmailing us. When will this ever end?

Finn: I don’t know. But I’ll tell you one thing. I will not let her anywhere near us or the kids. Sheila is done hurting our family.

[Knocking]

Liam: Yo, hello? Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Uh, can we–

> Finn: Yeah, yeah, come in.

Hope: We just spoke to my mom, and apparently sheila’s been set free.

Liam: What the hell? How does that happen?

Hope: You had your meeting with the gentleman.

Liam: Weren’t you going to explain how sheila shot you and left you for dead?

Hope: So what happened? Was there some kind of mix up?

Finn: No.

Steffy: We wish.

Liam: Okay, so you did meet with the judge.

Finn: We were right there in his chambers.

Hope: And what, he didn’t believe you? I mean, sheila shot you both.

Liam: How does she get set free after that? What the hell happened?

Steffy: Your father happened.

Katie: This is not okay, and you know it. But you can fix it. You can fix it. Just pick up the phone and call the police. You’ve got to get her back into custody.

Sheila: Who do you think set me free?

Katie: Shut up. This is between bill and me. I know him better than anybody, and this is not you. You’re not blind. You’re not. You know, deep down, how messed up this is. You know about her, what she’s done, the horrible, horrific crimes that she’s committed. Come on, bill. Think about will, okay? Think about– think about your grandchild. Think about kelly. This woman– this woman was gonna leave her motherless. This woman was gonna take her mother away from her. She was going to let steffy bleed out in that alley. Steffy, who I know you care about. That’s who she is. You have vowed to protect your family. You do. That’s who you are. That’s who we need you to be right now. We need you to stand up and to protect us. Please. Protect us from sheila. (Music throughout)

Liam: Wait. Hold on a second. So… my dad is siding with sheila and blackmailing you?

Steffy: My mom’s freedom for sheila’s freedom.

Liam: He promised he would never say a word, that he would never go to the police.

Steffy: The most shameful night of my mom’s life. You know how much she regrets that night. Losing control and going over bill’s house.

Liam: You don’t have to explain to us. We were all there. We all went through it. It’s a traumatizing experience for everyone involved. And I know we all tried to move on from that.

Finn: There’s only a few people who know it was taylor who shot bill.

Hope: And so what, now he’s just trying to throw it back in your face?

Finn: You can see why we had to say silent about sheila.

Hope: As much as I hate sheila and… I want her to pay for her crimes, I just couldn’t risk my mom’s freedom.

Liam: Hey, no, we all get that. But, like, what about all the other stuff sheila did, all the other charges? She escaped from prison, for god’s sake.

Finn: Judge mcmullen, he concocted some wild story on how mike guthrie forced sheila to escape prison against her will.

Liam: What? That’s absurd. Why would he do that?

Finn: Your father.

Hope: Do you think he put the judge up to it?

Finn: There’s no doubt

Teffy: Bill has a judge in his pocket.

Liam: Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Hope: Okay, well, does taylor know about any of this?

Steffy: Yes. I had to tell her. My mom wanted to do the honorable thing and turn herself in, but I begged her not to do it.

Finn: Especially since bill will just bribe whoever it takes to make sure sheila stays out of prison.

Liam: But why? What is the motivation for that? My dad hates sheila carter. He’s never said a single nice thing about her.

Steffy: There’s nothing nice about her. The only thing that’s good about her is that she gave birth to finn.

Hope: Well, exactly. So then why would bill back sheila?

Steffy: Bill and sheila are involved.

[Scoffing]

Katie: I know how important your family is to you. That’s what this is about. The sword, it’S… it’s about family. Protecting your family, the people you love. And that’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to protect us from a sociopath.

Bill: I would never let anything happen to my kids.

Katie: You need protection, too. You do, because she’s poison. She’s toxic. And I know you feel misunderstood and you feel rejected by me and by brooke and by everyone, but… but you, you are bill spencer. You are brave and you are smart and you are strong, and you know how to love. You know how to love. I know you do, because you loved me once. And I know how much you love your children and your grandchildren. I know it. She can’t give you that, bill. She can’t love. She will destroy everything you care about. She will destroy everything that’s good inside of you. Don’t let her do it. Don’t sink down into the sewer with her.

Sheila: You know what? I can take a verbal beating with the best of them, and I have stood by patiently and listened to you insult me. You’re wasting your time, katie. There is nothing that you can say. And quite honestly, I mean, you have no right telling him who he can and can’t be with. Bill has already expressed himself. He said he loves me. And I love him. We are building a future together.

Katie: The only future you have is behind bars. They will lock you up for shooting steffy and finn, and they will lock you up for almost killing li. And they will lock you up for escaping from prison. You will finally pay for all of your crimes. And you know I’m right. Tell her. Say something. Tell her I’m right.

If you have this…

Liam: Involved? Like… like in a relationship?

Steffy: Yes. We saw them kiss.

Liam: They’re, like, um…

Hope: Together.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, I… I know it’s hard to believe.

[Stammering]

Liam: My dad and sheila carter.

Steffy: Yeah, they’re like, uh…

Hope: Okay. I don’t know what’s gotten into bill’s head. Clearly, he is not doing okay.

Liam: Not doing– not doing okay? He’s lost his damn mind is what happened.

Hope: Well, bill has made some questionable choices in the past. But this? Sheila?

Steffy: I talked to bill. I did. I talked to bill, and I asked him if someone was putting him in this position, if sheila was lording something over him, but he said no.

Liam: Wyatt and i were over at his place. Man… this was right before he turned sheila in. And we found a wig, and we found an earring. And when we knew that it was sheila’s, we thought that it was her who was targeting him. But instead, it’s– it’s– oh, god.

Steffy: Bill is totally swept up in sheila. He is completely oblivious

Hope: Of all the women in the world, bill falls for sheila? And now he’s extorting you so that her charges get dropped?

Liam: I gotta– I got to talk to him. I don’t know why he’s doing this.

Steffy: Katie’s over there now. We’re hoping that she’s able to get through to him somehow.

Katie: Bill, I hate seeing you do this to yourself.

Sheila: Now that he’s moved on, you suddenly give a damn?

Katie: He is the father of my son. We are family. I will always give a damn.

Sheila: Yeah, well, if that were true, he wouldn’t have been left in this house all alone. Huh? You wouldn’t have left when he didn’t morph into the man you wanted him to be.

Katie: Our marriage was built on love. That’s something you’ll never know.

Sheila: You’re his ex, his former wife, and you don’t get to tell him how to behave anymore. You don’t get to say that. No, especially… after you walked out on him again. He begged you, katie. He pleaded with you. He did everything right, and yet you still rejected him. You had your shot. It’s my time now. It’s our time. Mine and bill’S.

> Katie: Yours and bill’s? You’re crazy. You are crazy if you think you’re gonna have a life with him. You’re not gonna stay one more minute in this house.

Sheila: Oh, yes, I am.

Katie: Bill, listen to me, please. We are family, okay? No matter what, we are. This house, this house… this was our home. That’s where we raised our son. You remember. You remember he had– he had his first steps right over there, and we we’d have friday night movies, remember? We’d eat too much popcorn. And all those times where I tried to cook dinner, but we ended up ordering it instead. You remember that. I know you do. Because they’re beautiful memories. And please, please, god, don’t let her poison them.

Sheila: That’s ancient history. You had your shot and you blew it. You’re not a strong enough person for a powerful man like bill. You want to know why we’re such a good team?

Katie: You are not a team. She’s using you.

Sheila: Using him? Because it’s hard to believe that a woman could actually want him for the man that he is and not work day and night to try to change him? So let’s face it, katie… you’re his past. I’m the woman in his life. So why don’t you do us both a favor and leave? Skin your face will envy?

Hope: So my aunt katie is at bill’s?

Finn: And she’s not alone.

Steffy: Sheila’s there, too.

Hope: Is that safe? For her to be alone with bill and sheila?

Finn: She insisted on going by herself.

Steffy: Katie feels as though she can only reach out to bill more than anyone.

Liam: At least now I know why he’s been so closed off.

Hope: Just wait until my mother finds out about this.

Steffy: If bill continues to allow sheila to roam free, all of our lives are at risk, including our children. Katie understands what’s at stake. She has to come through for all of us.

Katie: I may not live here anymore… but this used to be my home, and it is still my son’s home. And you do not have a place here. Will is at boarding school, and you walked out ages ago. You left him alone. No support, no compassion, and you walked out on the greatest man in the world. So don’t stand there thinking that you can make demands.

Katie: Bill… I know you’re lonely. I know you’re hurting. I just didn’t realize how much. But I do now. I do. You don’t have to do this, okay? You don’t deserve this because you are loved. You are, you’re loved. You have a family who loves you, and she will never give you that. We are here for you. And I know that you will be there for us. You just have to get her out. You just have to tell her to go. She doesn’t belong here.

Sheila: This is no longer your home. You gave it up ages ago, just like you gave up bill. You have no right coming in here, telling me to leave. You’re the one that needs to leave, katie.

Katie: You won’t let her kick me out of this house. I know you won’T. Tell her. Tell her to get out. Think about our son. Think about will, how much he loves you, how much he idolizes you. He wants to be exactly like you. Well, how are you gonna explain this to him? How are you gonna explain her? He knows. He knows what she’s done.

Sheila: He’s going to have to get to know the real me and not listen to the gossip.

Katie: Oh, you are delusional if you think I’m gonna let my child anywhere near you. I will die first. And bill will not allow it either, because he knows. He knows, deep down, exactly what you are. Bill… bill, please. Please! I am begging you on everything that is right and just in this world. Make her go. Put her back in jail. Please, bill, please… tell her to get out of this house. Please.

Sheila: Okay. Now, you tell me to leave and I’ll leave.

Bill: I think you should leave, katie.

Katie: You don’t mean that.

Sheila: You heard him. You need to leave.

Katie: What’s happened to you?

Sheila: What’s happened to him? He’s finally found love. For the first time in his life.

[Sobbing]

[Door slamming] Hey… I know that that wasn’t easy. Thank you, though. I felt heard and understood. For the first time, I… I really felt wanted. And accepted. But most importantly, is… I feel loved. I feel truly loved.

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: Well, you– you can’t begin to know what this means to me, hearing those words. Hearing you say that you love me.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Sheila: That’s all I’ve ever wanted. It’s all I’ve dreamed of and now, knowing that I am… that I– that I approached you on a beach, you– you didn’t recoil. You didn’t tell me what a monster I was. You heard me out and I heard you and still, I mean, to think that it would– it would lead to this. Falling in love, but it has. I love you and you love me and that is everything, Bill. That is everything.

Katie: Wait a second. Sheila is free because of Bill?

Carter: That doesn’t make any sense. There’s no mention of Bill being involved at all.

Finn: Sheila wouldn’t be a free woman if it weren’t for your ex-husband.

Katie: That doesn’t make any sense. Bill can’t just wave a magic wand and Sheila walks.

Carter: Yeah, as powerful as he is, Bill’s not even capable of that.

Katie: I mean, how could he have made that happen? And what possible reason could he have had?

Finn: Look. The last thing Steffy and I expected was for Sheila to walk free. We’re both shocked and confused and–

Katie: Wait, wait, wait. You told the judge everything and they still let Sheila go?

Carter: She has a list of charges and there’s not even a full trial? Finn, man, I– I don’t get it. Why?

Finn: Blackmail.

Katie: Sheila’s blackmailing Bill?

Finn: No. Bill’s blackmailing Steffy and me.

Katie: What?

Finn: That’s what this is all about. Bill’s blackmailing us to keep Sheila from paying for the crimes that she committed.

[ Katie sighing ]

Steffy: Bill, don’t let her do this to you. Sheila is using you. She knows nothing about love.

Sheila: Well, that’s not true. I’ve been unlucky in love, until now. You heard Bill. He loves me and I love him.

Taylor: You don’t know how to love.

Steffy: All you do is manipulate and destroy.

Bill: All right, stop. Both of you.

Sheila: God, why can’t we just stop this, all right? We are all very much aware of my past and I have made some– some horrible decisions that I am ashamed of, but I’m not alone, Steffy, with that. Now, we have all made mistakes, your mother included. I mean, Taylor made one that I’m sure she will regret for the rest of her life. Bill kept quiet about your mother shooting him. He forgave Taylor and moved on, so why is it so difficult for the two of you to do the same? I mean, we could just– we could go on and live our lives. Steffy, you love my son. And I– I love Bill. We love each other. They say that– that love changes a person and I already feel that happening for me. Can’t we just accept the situation, please? You’re gonna have to accept it. You have no choice.

Taylor: Why is that? Because you think there’s nothing we can do?

Sheila: There is nothing you can do.

Taylor: I don’t know about that. I can confess. I can go to the police. I can tell them what happened all those years ago. I was the one who shot Bill. I can do that. And then guess what? No more blackmail. And you go to prison for the rest of your life.

Carter: I mean, Bill can be ruthless, yes, in business, but… I mean, Steffy is the mother to his granddaughter. To put a knife to her throat, to yours, too…

Katie: What could he possibly he have on you that would be worth blackmailing you over?

Finn: I can’t get into the details, but what Bill’s doing is reprehensible.

Katie: I’ve known Bill for a very long time. We were married, we share a son and I’ve seen all sides of him, good and bad, but for him to do this, to protect Sheila, I– I just– I can’t even imagine what he’s thinking.

Finn: Apparently, Bill and Sheila are in a relationship.

Katie and Carter: What?

[ Katie sighing ]

Taylor: It’s a simple solution, really. I confess. Yeah, I– I lose everything, but if I were to allow you to blackmail my daughter and me, it would be so much worse. Because that would mean that Sheila gets away with shooting Steffy and Finn and all the lives that you’ve destroyed, and I– I– I can’t let that happen.

Steffy: Mom, please. You do not have to do this.

Taylor: No, but I do.

Steffy: No, you don’t.

Taylor: Yes, I do. Look, I– I– I should’ve come forward years ago because if I did–

Steffy: No, Mom, you need to stop blaming yourself. You were protecting me. Stop.

Taylor: From Bill. From Bill. Isn’t this ironic? Here I am protecting you again and I’ll– and I’ll– I’ll keep doing it. I am not going to let you and Finn and Hayes and Kelly be in danger. Because he’s allowing this woman to– to be out on the streets, to escape justice. I’m the only one that can stop this.

Steffy: No, you can’t, Mom. Bill already bought a judge. He’ll buy another and another. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep Sheila out of prison–

Sheila: And you will end up in jail for the rest of your life.

Steffy: Can you just shut it, Sheila? Shut it.

Sheila: You know, whether you believe me or not, I don’t want to see your mother go to jail. Taylor, you saved my life and I saved yours. I– why can’t we just live our lives? I mean, we can go on in peace and live in love and be with our families. Can you imagine your life without your grandchildren? Without your daughter or– or your son? And from what I understand, Thomas could really use his mother’s guidance right now.

Taylor: Don’t you dare use my son and do not talk about him right now.

Bill: That’s not she’s doing.

Steffy: That’s exactly what she’s doing. I can’t believe you’re defending her.

Sheila: Let’s just take a minute here, okay, and catch our breath. Let’s start out by acknowledging a fact, that the woman standing before you today is not the same woman that you feared and loathed.

Taylor: Because you’ve changed? No, Sheila. We’ve heard that before. We’re not buying it.

Sheila: Yeah, well whether you believe it or not, it’s true.

Steffy: Oh, you know nothing about the truth, Sheila.

Bill: Sheila will not be a threat to you, to your mother or anyone else.

Sheila: It’s true because I have everything I’ve always wanted. To be appreciated, valued and most importantly, loved.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Sheila: I suppose we should’ve expected it. Taylor turning herself in just to see me go back to jail, but the way Steffy was pleading with her to not go through with it… what do you think?

Bill: If something comes up, we’ll figure it out. Together.

Katie: This doesn’t make any sense. Bill is a lot of things, but he is not an idiot. He would never get involved with someone as diabolical as Sheila. Oh, we just heard. Sheila is free and it’s all because of Bill.

Finn: I’m glad you’re okay.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I, uh, explained to Katie and Carter about the blackmail, but I didn’t get into details.

Katie: And we’re not asking. I just couldn’t be more stunned. I mean, I know Bill better than anyone. For him to defend Sheila and get her out of jail because he’s personally involved with her? I mean, it just– it can’t be possible.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s what I thought, but sadly, it’s true.

Taylor: Yeah, Steffy and i were just over at Bill’s and Sheila was with him.

Katie: I gotta talk to Bill. I gotta confront him.

Carter: I’ll go with you.

Katie: No, I think it’s best if I go by myself.

Carter: What if Sheila’s there?

Katie: I will handle her. The stakes are too big.

Sheila: It is unbelievable to me that in this very room, Taylor pulled a gun on you and shot you in the back. Thank god you survived.

Bill: Hm. I doubt a lot of people would agree with you. Especially now.

Sheila: Are you worried about what people think? Because I’m not and– and I don’t. Oh, wait. There was that one time where I came back for my son’s wedding and that did matter because I knew that the Forresters would be against me and that I was going to have to prove to them that I– I was a changed woman for them to accept me and let me be part of their family, but it really didn’t really matter because Steffy refused to accept me and, you know what? All of the Forresters didn’t and the Logans and that holds true to this day. But then, you came along. And this incredible thing happened between us. I never would’ve guessed in a million years that you would’ve been the man, the love that I’ve been looking for all these years, but you are. You always will be.

Steffy: You should have seen my mom. She really let Bill have it.

Taylor: Ugh. I mean, he’s– he’s blackmailing us. He’s blackmailing us so that someone as dangerous as Sheila is free. Free to terrorize the people I love.

Steffy: My mom still wants to turn herself in.

Taylor: Oh, there–

Steffy: Put an end to this.

Taylor: Yeah, well, there wouldn’t be anything to put an end too if I hadn’t lost control that night and shot Bill.

Steffy: Mom, stop. I know what happened is always gonna haunt you, but you can’t keep doing this to yourself.

Taylor: I think about it. I don’t even– I don’t even recognize myself. It’s– it’s like I– I don’t know who I was, you know? To actually pick up a gun, aim it and– and– and pull the trigger.

Steffy: Mom, you need to stop beating yourself up. Bill has lost his mind and he’s blackmailing us because he’s supposedly in love with Sheila.

Finn: What? Love?

Steffy: Oh, yeah. Bill professed his love to Sheila right in front of my mom and me. Like anyone could ever love a woman like Sheila. It’s like so vile. But, I guess the spell that she cast over him is working because he is committed to defending her. Bill is lost to Sheila and that is gonna destroy him. His love for her will destroy him.

Bill: Meeting you, the time we spent together, I finally know what that’s supposed to feel like. I love you, Sheila.

Katie: I know what happened. How Sheila avoided going back to prison, where she belongs. And you’re involved and I don’t– I don’t understand that. I’m just wrap my head around that and I can’t, so that’s why I’m here because I’m hoping that you can explain it to me because you don’t do anything without a reason. Steffy and Finn say that you’re blackmailing them and I– I– I don’t know why and I don’t really want to know what the specifics are, it doesn’t matter. I just– I’m just hoping that I could get through to you and maybe you could help me understand. I know you better than anyone. Maybe even better than you know yourself. You said that to me. You’ve told me that. And– and this is not you. Sheila Carter? Bill, you know. You know all of the horrific things she’s done. How can you defend her? Her presence in our lives. Her evil presence, it threatens all of us. Think about will. Think about our son. How are you going to explain this to him? How? How are you going to explain her? How could you even imagine her being anywhere near our child? [ Katie sighing ] I know you haven’t been yourself lately, and I’ve been really worried about you, I have and I know that you– you asked me to help you and I didn’t and I– and I wish I could take that back. I wish I could and I’m so, so sorry, but for you to do something like this, I– you’re the one who was responsible for getting her arrested and that was a good thing. That was good. And now Steffy and Finn are– are saying that you’re in some kind of relationship with her, which is crazy. It’s– it’s not possible. I get it. You’re– you’re depressed. I get it. You’re– you’re sad and you’re lonely and I know what that feels like, I do. I know what it feels like. It feels horrible, but I can help you. I can help you with that. You don’t have to turn to someone like Sheila Carter, you don’t. You don’t because she will hurt you. That’s all she’s good at. That’s what she does. You can’t allow her into your life and into this home. You can’t allow it, Bill.

Sheila: It’s too late for that, Katie. You passed up on the greatest man alive and he exposed you to a life that you could never dream of. He’s powerful and he’s passionate and he’s the love of my life and I’m the love of his.

[ Katie scoffing ]

Katie: The love of his life. You have to listen to me, please. Please, just listen. She doesn’t love you. She’s not capable of it. She destroys. And she will take everything you love and care about and she will break it. You have to get her out of your life. You have to. If you don’t, then we are at the mercy of her. All of us. You especially. You have to see that. Please tell me that you see that. Please tell me that you will do whatever it takes to send her back to prison, where she belongs.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: Mom, don’t do it. Don’t confess anything to the police.

Taylor: That is the only way to take away bill’s power and you know it. He’s blackmailing us, steffy! He’s threatening to– to turn me in for shooting him years ago. I can’t live under that kind of threat! And even worse, sheila walking free? No. No, I can not let that happen. I will sacrifice my own freedom and– and– and– and my own safety before I– I sacrifice yours and my grandchildren’S. I will. Zero regrets.

Sheila: So, how’s it feel to have someone… forever in debt to you, hm? I’m a free woman, all charges have been dropped and it’s all because of you. Of course, you know that is going to ruffle some feathers. I mean, when they find out about us, are you ready for the mob that’s going to come knocking at your door? I mean, katie and– and brooke?

Bill: They both turned me down again and again.

Sheila: So, if either is upset by this, it’s just… too bad? It’s their own fault anyway.

Brooke: This can’t be real. I mean, there is no way a judge would let sheila go.

Katie: Especially after hearing from steffy and finn. I mean, you can’t tell me they didn’t make extremely credible witnesses.

Carter: I’m sure they did, but my contact was certain. It’s not some rumor he heard, it’s fact. Sheila carter was released.

Brooke: Ah, what?

Katie: Maybe the judge ruled that sheila was mentally unfit to stand trial. I mean, I could see that as a possibility. Maybe she’s in some kind of institution?

Carter: No, she was set free.

Brooke: How is that even possible? What the hell happened?

Carter: Well, maybe someone came forward with some new evidence? A way to justify her actions?

Brooke: Wait. You think that there’s somebody out there that’s willing to defend sheila?

Carter: There must be. Otherwise, she’d still be in prison. Someone’s responsible for this.

Katie: Question is who?

Bill: I probably burned every bridge I had siding with you.

Sheila: Bridges to people that always let you down. Unlike me, now I– I’m gonna be someone you can always count on. I promise. So if you excuse me, I am gonna go freshen up for the rest of our evening together.

Steffy: Say you go to the police. Say you make this huge sacrifice, it doesn’t guarantee that sheila will be arrested. Bill will do everything in his power to keep her out of prison. He’s lost his way, mom.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Clearly lost his mind.

Taylor: Clearly, clearly, but it frees you up to testify.

Finn: To a corrupt judge? Taylor, what’s the point?

Steffy: Bill has the judge bought and sold. Who knows who else is on his payroll? If you expose yourself, you’ll go to prison. I’m not letting that happen.

Taylor: All right. All right, I– I won’t go to police.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Thank you so much, mom. I couldn’t handle the thought of you going. I can’t lose you. I can’T.

Taylor: Oh, I love you so much. I… I am so– I am so happy that I get to be here with you guys. I– I– this house, your family that you made. It’s so filled with love. You know, coming back to L.A. Was probably the– the best decision I’ve ever made. Being here with you guys, my grandbabies, it’s– it’s been– it’s been so healing for me.

Steffy: For all of us.

Taylor: Yeah. I’m just sorry that I was away for so long.

Steffy: You’re here now. That’s all that matters.

Taylor: But I’m here now at the mercy of bill Spencer and he can take that away whenever he wants. My god. Do you think he has any idea how dangerous this is?

Steffy: No. Not until we figure out a way to get through to him, there’s really nothing we can do.

Taylor: You leave that to me. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Brooke: Even if somebody came forward on sheila’s behalf, if there was some kind of new evidence. Wait, what am I talking about? How could there be new evidence? Everybody knows what happened. There’s no denying that.

Katie: She claims that shooting finn was an accident, so maybe it has something to do with that? There was no intent to harm?

Carter: But there was intent to cause steffy harm. Just because finn jumped in front of a bullet doesn’t make the shooting an accident. And then, sheila turns her gun to steffy and shoots her too. No, it’s clearly intentional.

Brooke: Okay, well that’s what finn and steffy were doing. They were testifying to the judge and you’re saying a judge heard that, but they still let sheila go?

[ Katie sighing ]

Steffy: I can’t believe my mother even considered turning herself in.

Finn: She wants to protect you and the kids. Keep sheila away. I can understand. But hey, you got through to her. You don’t have to worry.

Steffy: But we have to worry about sheila for the rest of our lives. And bill. I mean, my mom is right. Bill has the power.

Finn: What do you think she meant? Leave it to her?

Steffy: Oh, no.

Finn: What?

Steffy: My mother said she’s not going to the police. Because she’s going somewhere else instead. Bill’S.

[ Taylor panting ]

Taylor: Where is she? Where is sheila?

Bill: Upstairs.

Taylor: Why are you doing this, bill? Why? Why are you standing behind her? Why are you trying to keep a psychopath out of prison? That’s what she is, you know? She is manipulative. She is dangerous. She has terrorized my family for years. Are you forgetting how dangerous sheila is? Are you forgetting what she’s done? What she’s done to my family? And to yours too. Your granddaughter. Sheila almost left kelly motherless with no remorse. Not a second thought. Come on, bill. Think about what sheila did to steffy and finn. The trauma that she caused. What she put them through. If you can think about that and still tell me that you don’t think that sheila should be in prison… you can’t! And I can’t allow it!

Sheila: Allow what? Hello, taylor. I brought in ensure max protein

Katie: Word about this is gonna spread fast.

Carter: Yeah. Sheila’s set free. You bet it will.

Katie: Okay, time for me to get to work. The press is gonna want a statement from forrester. I need to pay steffy a visit so we can all get on the same page, work out a game plan.

Carter: Can I go? Might be good to have a lawyer with you.

Katie: Ah, you just read my mind. I was just about to ask you.

Brooke: Is there anything I can do?

Carter: Warn everyone. Let security know about our new reality. Sheila’s not going to prison after all.

Katie: Let’s go find out why.

Steffy: Straight to voicemail.

Finn: Hey, look, maybe she’s with a patient, okay? Or she’s just–

Steffy: Or confronting bill.

Finn: Why don’t you look up her location, huh? Maybe that’ll give you some peace of mind.

Steffy: I hope she’s heading home. Oh, my god.

Finn: What?

Steffy: Her location is blocked. She never does that.

Finn: Okay, then just go. I get it. You gotta be with your mom. Just be safe, please.

Steffy: I will.

Finn: Okay?

Steffy: If bill provokes her, or worse, sheila. Oh, my gosh. My mom’s gonna call the cops and turn herself in. I gotta go.

Finn: Yeah, well just don’t let that happen.

Sheila: You know, it’s lovely to see you, taylor, but I’m sorry. What you not going to allow?

Taylor: You. Your freedom.

Sheila: You know, you should look at yourself. You’re so angry, you’re almost shaking and that’s not good for you.

Taylor: Oh, sheila, don’T. Don’t pretend that you care what’s good for me.

Sheila: But I do. I still want us to be friends.

Taylor: Oh, really? Because you’re trying to send me to prison. It’s not very friendly.

Sheila: It’s a simple understanding. Steffy’s silence for ours. You know, I understand you’re upset and there are a lot of people that are going to be–

Taylor: Upset? Sheila, I– I am disgusted that anyone would allow this.

Sheila: Wait a minute, you can’t blame bill for this because he finally found somebody that– that– that understands him, that’s going to put his needs first?

Taylor: No, no, bill. Come on. You are not this desperate.

Sheila: The heart wants what it wants. Not everyone is gonna understand that.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Are you gonna let her talk for you?

Sheila: Maybe bill is tired of talking, taylor. He finally found a woman that’s willing to step up and look out for him for a change. I will always have his back.

Taylor: Yeah. A murderous psychopath. That’s who you want by your side, bill? She shouldn’t be here right now, she should be in prison.

Sheila: The judge doesn’t think so.

Taylor: The judge was bought. At least, that’s my understanding and I’m pretty sure I’m right. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get away with trying to kill steffy and finn.

Sheila: You know what? We have been through this before. What happened was a terrible accident. I never meant to harm anyone.

Taylor: Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Do you hear her, bill? She’s trying to be the victim.

Sheila: Maybe because I am. I know that you don’t want to believe that. No. You don’t want to believe anything that you and the forresters have put me through. The misunderstandings. The way you have shunned me. You cast me aside. You haven’t even given me a chance. No one’s given me a chance. Until now. Until bill. Kids can change minds…

[ Door banging ]

Finn: It’s open, amelia.

Katie: Finn? Hey.

Finn: Katie? Carter. What are you– you guys heard.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: A friend from the courthouse tipped me off.

Katie: Is steffy here? I need to know how to handle the press.

Finn: No, she’s not. And um… uh, honestly, she probably doesn’t want to speak to reporters right now. She’s, you know, still in shock.

Katie: Yeah, we all are. How the hell was sheila set free?

Finn: Well, you can thank your ex-husband.

Katie: Bill?

Taylor: Bill, you’re just… you’re going through a crisis right now. That’s what this is. You just– you need someone to talk to and I–

Sheila: Please don’t diagnose him. He’s fine. We both are.

Taylor: No. No, you’re not.

Sheila: Oh, no. Of course. That’s right because it can’t be true. I mean, no one is allowed to appreciate me or to find the good in me or care about me. Until bill.

Taylor: She’s using you.

Sheila: No, you know what? I know why this is difficult for you to understand because this did happen so suddenly. We– we– we know that. But don’t question if this is true because it is. I know how difficult this must be for you because let’s just face it, ridge never put you first. You’ve never had what I have and I really do wish that for you though, taylor. That you find a connection and– and this kind of love.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Shut up, sheila.

Sheila: I love bill and I have never felt this way about any man my entire life.

Taylor: Come on, this isn’t– I– I don’t believe you. I don’t believe this.

Sheila: Why can’t we just get on with our lives, huh? Why can’t we just accept this and both live in– in peace? You accepted me before. You gave me a chance. I think you can find that in your heart to do that again.

Taylor: You know what? I did. I did. I did accept you. I– I believed in you. I really did. And then you put a bullet in my daughter and left her for dead, lied about it and played the victim, so yeah, you’re gonna have to forgive me if your happiness isn’t something I particularly care about. I don’t give a damn about your happiness. I just want to see you behind bars.

Sheila: You know what? That’s the difference between us. Because I don’t wish that for you. I don’t want you to say or do anything that will keep you in prison for the rest of your life. Keep you away from your grandchildren and your children.

Taylor: Bill, what I did to you, in this very room all those years ago, it was awful. It was really awful. But so is blackmailing me and my daughter to keep this pathological criminal on the streets. Look, she says that she has feelings for you, but honestly, I don’t think she’s capable of having feelings, but she can sure manipulate you into feeling sorry for her. I know she did with me. Come on, bill. She has hurt so many people. She has destroyed so many lives. You are smarter than this. I know you are. Stop this. Tell her! Tell her this is all a lie!

Bill: Taylor wants the truth. And I’m sure you do as well.

Sheila: I do.

Bill: The truth is I… thought I knew what it felt like to commit myself and to have the complete and utter devotion of a woman in return, but I was wrong. Meeting you, the time we spent together… I finally know what that’s supposed to feel like. I love you, sheila.

Sheila: You love me? That’s all I ever dreamed of. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. Is to be loved.

Taylor: Because of me?

Steffy: Mom, we didn’t have a choice. If we told the judge that sheila shot us, then bill would tell the cops that you shot him all those years ago.

Taylor: Why? Why? He promised he would never say anything.

Steffy: Now, he won’T.

Taylor: What?

Steffy: Remember the night with the storm?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Sheila showed up here.

Finn: We were about to call the police when bill appeared and stopped us.

Steffy: Yeah. Bill told us to let her go, and when we refused, he blackmailed us. He tied sheila’s freedom to yours.

Taylor: My god. Why? Why would he do this?

Steffy: You’re not gonna believe this, mom, but something’s going on between sheila and bill.

Sheila: I’ve been hiding for so long, I almost forgot what freedom felt like. I could– I could just scream with relief, joy and gratitude. I– I knew you said that you would get me off… I believed it. I just, there was a part of me that was– I was still scared. When I finally heard the judge say those words, “you are free to go,” I just– I couldn’t believe it. Yes. Look at me. Here I am. A free woman again.

Bill: Freedom looks good on you. A lot better than that disguise.

Sheila: Thank you. I appreciate it. And you are the reason why I am a free woman.

Katie: So, I’m assuming someone is keeping ridge in the loop?

Brooke: Steffy talks to him the most.

Katie: But you’ve heard from him too, right?

Brooke: Yeah. A few times. He’s still travelling. I think this time away has been really good for him.

Katie: For you as well. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen you so at ease. I really admire the way you’ve handled this, brooke.

Brooke: Why, thank you. Taylor and I were just talking about what a difference it’s made.

Katie: Yeah, well, you’re talking. You’re not smearing paint and cake all over each other.

Brooke: Oh, yeah. It’s amazing. For so long, we’ve been adversaries, and then we just took ridge out of the occasion and I could see how much we actually have in common. We love our kids, we’re so devoted to them, to our careers. We’re fiercely protective of our families.

Katie: Well, you’ve had to be with sheila carter around. But today, that’s all going to change after steffy and finn give their testimony to the judge, sheila won’t be a threat ever again.

Brooke: Thank god.

Sheila: I– I’m never going to forget the look on steffy’s face when the judge dropped all the charges. I really think she and finn thought he would keep me locked up.

Bill: If they testified, he would have.

Sheila: Yeah, but you made sure that they didn’T.

Bill: They thought he’d keep you in custody anyway.

Sheila: For what? Breaking out of jail? Mike changed his story. He forced me out of there and the judge said that he even had video evidence or was that just the way he was supposed to interpret it? This is unbelievable. Everyone thought that my case was going to be open and shut, but there was no real evidence. I mean, there’s no video footage of the shooting. No forensics. And the only eye witness chose to not testify against me. And that was because of you. My hero. You really are my hero.

Taylor: So, something is going on between bill and sheila? Did you mean like… romantically?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: No, no, no. Bill called the police on sheila. He’s– he’s a hero. He turned her in.

Steffy: After making sure we would testify against her. They planned the whole thing.

Taylor: Okay, okay. So, bill’s loyalty is to sheila carter, the woman who almost killed you both? Kids can change minds…

Katie: Gosh, I didn’t realize how stressed out I was about sheila until she was caught.

Brooke: Oh, I know. The feeling is incredible.

Katie: Taylor and her family must feel the same way.

Brooke: I’m sure they’ll feel even better once finn and steffy give their testimony. Sheila will be locked away for good.

Katie: Thank god.

Brooke: Then, you can go back to focusing on your love life.

Katie: I’m just trying not to overthink it.

Brooke: Well, this gorgeous, intelligent, luscious c-o-o of ours has been thinking about you.

Katie: Has carter said something to you?

Brooke: Well, maybe you should ask him yourself. Oh.

Katie: Oh, hi.

Brooke: Hi there. We were just talking about you.

Katie: What is it? What’s wrong?

Carter: I have some shocking news.

Katie: What?

Carter: Sheila carter has been released from jail.

Sheila: And you’re happy for me, aren’t you?

Bill: Of course I am. I can see how relieved you are.

Sheila: It’s– it’s unbelievable. I mean, to think that I could walk out that door and there’s nothing that anyone can do to me? That I don’t need a disguise or– or to fear being caught? I’m no longer a fugitive. I’m also not a monster. I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ve realized that. Big ones. But I did it out of fear. I hurt the ones that I love, but it wasn’t intentional and I am not evil. You know that. And you looked into my eyes, into my heart and you understand the woman that I truly am. And you didn’T… you didn’t hold my past against me. Or my terrible reputation. You understood me and that strength and that… and that intense passion that we share. You never looked at me like I was a villain. You gave me another chance and for that, I am going to be forever grateful.

Taylor: Okay, so– so sheila’s a free woman because of bill spencer?

Finn: We’re as sad and sickened as you are.

Taylor: Oh, my god. This can’t be happening! She left you in an alley to die. She held you hostage! She almost killed li and now she’s free to walk? She’s free to go on with her life?

Steffy: We didn’t think that was a possibility, mom. There were other charges.

Taylor: Exactly! Yes! There were! She– she escaped from jail. The judge doesn’t need your testimony to hold her for that.

Finn: Except she didn’t break out.

Taylor: Yes, she did!

Finn: N– not if you believe the story that was concocted claiming that mike guthrie forced her to leave with him.

Taylor: Mike guthrie, her accomplice.

Steffy: Based on a sworn affidavit, it was his idea to bust her out. Sheila was kidnapped.

Taylor: Now, they’re making her the victim?

Finn: Apparently, there’s security footage.

Steffy: The whole thing is bogus, mom. Bill is behind all of it. He has the judge bought and paid for. He orchestrated the whole thing.

Taylor: What is he thinking? He’s kelly’s grandfather! Does he have any idea how dangerous this is for all of us?

Steffy: Bill’s clearly lost his mind, mom. And he will do whatever he can to protect sheila.

Taylor: You and my grandbabies are the ones that need protecting. Hayes! You know she’s gonna try and go after him. You know she is! There’s gotta be another way to make her pay for what she’s done. There’s only one way that I can think of and we both know what that is. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Brooke: There is no way. It can’t be true.

Carter: I didn’t believe it either.

Katie: Sheila attempted murder.

Brooke: She needs to be locked up. She was.

Carter: Now, she isn’T.

Katie: How do you know this?

Carter: I got a call from a colleague at the courthouse.

Katie: I– I don’t understand what’s going on.

Brooke: Okay, wait. Finn and steffy were just there. They were going to give their testimony to the judge about sheila shooting them.

Katie: Not only that, she escaped from prison. She faked her own death. They can’t just let her go.

Brooke: She is a dangerous criminal. She needs to be behind bars.

Carter: I agree, but that’s not what happened. Sheila was released. She walked out of that courthouse totally free.

Sheila: So, how long before they start showing up with pitchforks and torches?

Bill: I don’t know and I don’t care. I told security to let them through. Get it out of the way.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know that they’re not just coming for me. Bill, once they find out I’m here, you’re gonna be in for it too. You realize I didn’t want it to be like this, not for any of us. What happened in the alley that night really was a terrible, terrible accident. I love my son. He’s my flesh and blood. I love steffy too. Just really wish things could’ve been different.

Steffy: No. N– no. No. I’m not listening to this. What’s done is done.

Taylor: Yes, but steffy, I can undo it.

Steffy: No, you can’t! I won’t let you.

Taylor: Listen, I know that you are just trying to protect me and I love you so much for that, but I am not going to put my family in danger.

Steffy: No, you aren’t, mom. Sheila is the danger.

Taylor: Yes! Yes, she is and she needs to be in prison. Finn, I am so sorry that you had to learn what happened that night. I gave into my– my darkest, most uh– most violent instincts and I… I committed a horrible crime.

Finn: And I know why.

Steffy: Mom, you weren’t yourself when you shot bill.

Taylor: No. I know that wasn’t me. I just– I– I can’t believe that bill is– is blackmailing you to stay quiet so you won’t testify. It doesn’t make any sense. So much for him keeping his word about what happened that night and it’s all to defend sheila carter, a literal psychopath. My god. I can’t let that happen. I can’T. I will confess. I will confess to– to shooting bill and he’ll have nothing to hold against you. You– you can tell the judge exactly what happened in the alley that night and then sheila will spend the rest of her life rotting behind bars, where she belongs. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Sheila: I really was hoping I could get through to finn and steffy and show them that we really could co-exist regardless of our past. Finn is my son and I… I love him. He’s of my blood and hayes is my grandson and we’re connected and nothing is ever gonna change that. I don’t know. Maybe I was just hoping for too much. You know, I was just being naive.

Bill: It’s hard to give up on family.

Sheila: Yeah, but that’s all I ever wanted. Even– even that night in the alley, I– I begged steffy to– to try and accept me. Not turn my son against me and now, all I want is to be forgiven. Now, I just think that that day is probably never going to come.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: I can’t promise you that you will be part of finn and steffy’s lives, but I give you my word, you’ll never have to worry about your freedom. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you, keep you out of prison.

Sheila: You are an incredibly generous man, bill spencer. And what you’ve done for me is more than money could ever, ever buy. You’ve given me my freedom and my future. I owe you my life.

Taylor: Sheila and bill will not get away with this.

Steffy: They already are. Sheila’s out. She’s roaming free.

Taylor: Okay, not for long.

Steffy: Mom, you weren’t there. You didn’t hear the things bill was saying about sheila.

Taylor: No, but I can– I can hear the fear in your voice. I can see it on your husband’s face. Knowing that sheila is out there, wondering when she’s gonna snap again, what she can do to my children and grandchildren?

Finn: I won’t let that happen.

Taylor: No, I’m going to make sure that it never happens. I am going to go baker, I’m going to tell him exactly what happened the night bill spencer was shot. That I was in a maternal rage. Every– everything inside of me, I just– I just lost it. All I could think about in that moment was– was wanting bill out of our lives for– permanently. I have tried for so many years to just try and make some kind of peace for what I did, but I can’T. I have to come forward. I have to say what I did. I do.

Steffy: No, no, no, no.

Taylor: For everybody.

Steffy: I know you. You wanna do the right thing, but what you’re suggesting might not even help. We told you. Bill owns the judge. Mom, if you confess, you could go to prison and sheila, she still might be free. How is that protecting our family?

Finn: Look, if you want to keep your grandkids safe, help us keep sheila away.

Taylor: No, I want her to be away forever. I– I want her to go to jail.

Steffy: Mom, you are a good person. We need you. Kelly and hayes need you. Douglas needs you. We can’t lose you. You can’t– you can’t say anything. Promise me you won’t say anything about shooting bill. Your future, your freedom, is not worth putting sheila away.

Judge craig: Case dismissed.

[ Gavel bangs ]

Judge craig: That’s it for today. Please remove ms. Carter’s handcuffs. Escort her from my chamber. She’s free to go.

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

Finn: Your honor.

Steffy: This is wrong. She– sheila’s dangerous. She– 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.

[ Inaudible ]

Steffy: Sheila’s free to go?

Finn: You’re just gonna let her walk out of here?

Judge craig: You won’t testify. There’s no other physical evidence that links Ms. Carter to the crime scene. No other witnesses, just the two of you who’ve decided not to press charges. And like I told you, as far as the escape goes, there’s new evidence that’s been brought to light that clearly implicates mr. Guthrie in forcibly removing her from custody. And with no other claims being brought forth, I have no choice. All charges are dropped.

Attorney: Thank you, your honor.

Judge craig: Ms. Carter will be in her cell awaiting official release.

Steffy: No!

Finn: Look, you can’t just– you can’t do this.

Steffy: No, you can’t let her go.

Judge craig: That’s all for today.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Judge craig: Come in.

Bill: Your honor.

Judge craig: Bill.

[ Birds chirping ]

Taylor: Yeah, I can see you again tomorrow at 10:00. Does that work? I know. Don’t forget you’ve survived a hundred percent of your worst days. Today is no different. Okay. See you then. Bye. Hi.

Eric: Hi, taylor.

Taylor: Ah, look at me taking over your office. I’m sorry, I had to– I had to call a patient. My lunch with brooke went a little longer than expected.

Eric: Wait, wait, wait. You had lunch with brooke?

Taylor: I did. And it was really fun.

Eric: I’m delighted to hear that.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, today is just a– it’s just a good day all around. You know what? I bet sheila is in front of the judge right now as we speak. And after all this is done, she’s gonna be back in prison where she belongs. All thanks to steffy and finn.

Eric: A judge called a preliminary meeting about all this?

Taylor: Yeah. Yes. It’s just protocol. I– I don’t know. But it’s kind of poetic justice that steffy and finn are gonna be the ones to bring sheila carter down.

Eric: Yeah. Well, it’s about time. She’s caused enough trouble for both of our families.

Taylor: Yes. It’s gonna feel so good to know that we don’t have to worry about her, ever again.

[ Door buzzing ]

Officer: Make yourself comfortable. I’ll get your personal effects. Once the paperwork is done, you’ll be free to go.

Sheila: Oh my god, I am really getting out of this dump.

Officer: Won’t be long now.

[ Sheila laughing ]

[ Door buzzing ]

Sheila: Mike. Oh, you came to say goodbye?

Mike: So, it’s true? You’re going free? I’m stuck in this place and you’re getting out?

Bill: It’s good to see you in person, craig. Trust that julie and audrey are well?

Judge craig: Still reaping the benefits of those two weeks on your yacht. The stella maris is just– it’s magnificent, bill. That’s the best vacation my family ever had. The mcmullens will always be indebted to you.

Bill: It was my pleasure. And by the way, I hired a new chef. She is magnificent. Please take the family out again, anytime.

Judge craig: Well, your continued generosity, uh, is appreciated.

Bill: You can count on it. As I’m sure I can count on yours.

Judge craig: I’ll have julie call and arrange the night when we can have you over for dinner. What do you say?

Bill: Sounds good. And thanks again for today.

Judge craig: Well, with the evidence you provided, what other choice did I have? I’ve got a hearing.

Bill: You mind if I make a phone call before I go?

Judge bill: No, make yourself at home.

Eric: Taylor, when I first came in, you were on the phone with a patient. Do you need to do more of that? ‘Cause you can use the office across the way.

Taylor: Oh, thank you. No, I am done. I can’t wait to get back to steffy and finn’s and get the official word that sheila is finally out of our lives.

Mike: So, you’re sailing off into the sunset and I’m stuck in this place.

Sheila: I thought you’d be happy for me.

Mike: Well, at least I’ll have my memories of our time together. Get me through the long nights in here.

Sheila: Oh, mike, you are so sweet.

Mike: Of course I’m happy for you. You shouldn’t be locked up. I sure am gonna miss you.

Sheila: Yeah, well, we do have a way of running into each other, don’t we? Maybe that’ll still hold true.

Mike: Hell of a move, by the way, getting bill spencer in your corner.

Sheila: That just– that just happened.

Mike: I know you, sheila. You made it happen and it was genius. Hey, just come see me every once in a while. Oh, no, listen, that’s probably too much to ask. Why would you voluntarily ever come back into this place? But it sure would mean a lot to me.

Sheila: I’ll try. Just depends on where my life is taking me at the time.

Mike: Well, wherever that is, think about me, in the yard, in my cell, loving you always. I never stopped having feelings for you, sheila. Can I ask you something?

Sheila: Sure.

Mike: One more thing.

Sheila: What?

[ Slapping ] You bad boy.

Mike: Yes, I am.

[ Sheila laughing ]

[ Door opens ]

Officer: You’re free to go.

Sheila: I guess this is it. I really thank you for everything, mike. I really mean that.

Mike: I love you, sheila. I’ll wait a lifetime for you.

Bill: That’s good to hear. I’ll have my people send over the contract. Yeah, you, too.

Steffy: You. You! I should have known.

Finn: Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Steffy: Oh, my god. You were the one. You’re behind guthrie’s affidavit. The compelling evidence of him forcing sheila out of jail.

Finn: You own the judge.

Steffy: You somehow got him assigned to sheila’s trial.

Bill: You did the right thing not testifying, not pressing charges.

Steffy: Oh, my god. I can’t believe you’re doing this, bill. The length you’re going to. For once in your life, can you just not lie? Tell me the truth. Are– is– is sheila blackmailing you? Is she threatening someone that you love?

Finn: Look, you bought a judge to free sheila!

Bill: There’s no point in fighting this. You will lose. More importantly, taylor will lose.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Bill: Sheila is a free woman.

Steffy: Oh, my…

Bill: So, your mother will maintain her freedom as well.

Steffy: I’m begging you, can you just come to your senses and realize what you are doing is wrong? Sheila is using you. We can work together. We can– we can call the judge and– and we’ll find a way to get this dangerous psychopath off of the streets. Oh. You obviously don’t care about me. Or finn. Or your granddaughters. Do you realize if sheila is free, kelly and beth are in harm’s way. They are not safe. And– and sheila is not above using them to get to hayes and finn.

Bill: I give you my word. My word. You’ll have nothing to fear from sheila.

Steffy: Your– your word? I hate you, bill. I am never gonna forgive you for this. Never! Do you hear me? Never!

[ Steffy sobbing ] I’m jonathan lawson

[ Gate clanging ]

Officer: Might as well get used to it. You’re gonna be hearing that sound for a good long time, guthrie.

Mike: Yeah, I know. May not have my freedom, but… at least I’ll always have my memories of that very special lady.

[ Inaudible ]

[ Whirring ]

Sheila: I like you, mike.

Don’t stop being my friend.

Because you should know better

than anyone what happens

to my enemies.

Mike: Okay! Okay!

I get the point.

Sheila: Just wanna make sure

of it.

Mike: Sheila.

[ Dog growling ]

Sheila: Welcome to

forrester creations, mike!

Just this once.

Mike: Fine by me.

[ Sighing ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Door opening ]

Sheila: I– I could barely– I could barely breathe in the car. I– I ke– I kept waiting for flashing lights and sirens, uh, and for someone to pull us over and say that they were taking me back in– into custody. I just… I don’t know how I’m ever gonna thank you. You really came through for me, bill.

Bill: You’re worth it.

Sheila: There– there aren’t too many people that would agree with that.

Bill: Most people don’t know you the way I do.

Sheila: I just– it feels amazing to be fully seen. I’m– that– I’m out of that– that hell hole. It’s– and it’s because of you. Your plan, it– it– it worked. You– you got your judge onto my case and– and– and finn and steffy, they didn’t testify against me. It… you are one hell of a man, bill spencer.

Finn: So, what the hell just happened? Sheila’s free?

Steffy: Because of bill. What was he thinking? He knows sheila. He knows her murderous history.

Finn: Well, obviously, he doesn’t care. Seems to make her more his type.

Steffy: Oh, god. He said he was gonna use my mother’s name as his shooter. He swore he wasn’t gonna do that.

Finn: Yeah, so you trusted him.

Steffy: I– yeah, I did. I mean, I know, I know bill can be ruthless and he’s not above using something as leverage to get what he wants, but not against us. For sheila? That is unthinkable. Look, I am– I’m just– I’m so sorry I put you in this position. This is all my fault.

Finn: No, hey. It’s okay. All right, your problems are my problems. We’re a team. And we never lose sight of that.

Steffy: It killed me to watch sheila walk away. All I had to do was just be honest. Tell them what happened and she would’ve been locked up forever. But it was too risky. I really believe that bill would’ve turned my mother in.

Finn: Look, he gave us a terrible choice, but we made the right one. Okay? It was the only one. But the question now is, how do we explain not testifying?

Steffy: Oh, god.

Finn: And dropping these charges, especially to taylor?

Steffy: I can’t think about that right now. I’m still spiraling after everything that happened.

[ Door opening, taylor gasping]

Taylor: There they are. The heroes of the day!

[ Taylor giggling ] Okay. How does it feel to know that because of you, sheila will spend the rest of her life behind bars?

Hey! Did you hear?

Sheila: It’s finally happened. I’m free. I’m– I’m free. I– I kept warning people not to count me out. And they kept saying that I– I didn’t stand a chance. I would never see the light of day. That there would– there would be no way back. But there’s always a way back. All of this was possible because of– of your kindness and your support. And I am so grateful. So lucky. You inspire me, just watching you work. The way you blackmailed steffy and– and finn into not saying anything about the shooting, and the way you masterfully manipulated your own judge onto my case.

Bill: I put a lot on the line for you.

Sheila: I’m aware.

Bill: I need to know that I’m not going to regret it. That you will never let me down.

Sheila: You don’t need to worry about that. I will always be your partner. For life.

Taylor: Come on, guys. Don’t keep me in suspense. Please, please. I– I– I wanna feel like I was there. I wanna feel like I was watching sheila’s face as you guys testified. Oh, my god, the satisfaction you must be feeling right now. Right? Come on, guys. Justice was served!

Steffy: About that. There’s something you need to know, mom.

Taylor: Okay? I’ve been waiting all day for this. What?

Finn: It doesn’t have the ending you’re expecting.

Taylor: What does that mean?

Steffy: She’s free. All the charges have been dropped.

Taylor: What? That doesn’t make sense. Okay. Hold on a second. The judge just let her walk after you guys testified that she shot you?

Steffy: Finn and I never pressed charges, mom.

Taylor: Uh, you both want sheila to go to prison, right?

Finn: Yeah. Yeah.

Taylor: But you didn’t give a testimony? I don’t understand. Guys, stop looking at each other, look at me. Tell me what’s going on. Why isn’t sheila in prison right now?

Steffy: Bill said he, uh–

Taylor: Bill? Bill spencer? What does he have to do with you pressing charges?

Finn: He’s got everything to do with us not pressing charges.

Steffy: Bill said if we testify against sheila, he’ll let it be known that he was shot, too. By you, mom. By you.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ Dramatic music ]

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.

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.
