[ Relaxing music ]

Taylor: Ah. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!

Steffy: Oh, mom.

Taylor: I’m sorry.

Steffy: No, you don’t have to sneak around. This is, um–

Taylor: No, I’m just getting myself a snack, I–

Steffy: Actually, um, I’ve been wanting to talk to you. And you. I have an idea I’ve been kicking around.

Taylor: What?

Steffy: Well, the last time we were at granddad’s, we had so much fun. And I was just thinking, now that douglas is living with thomas, we should do it again.

Taylor: I– I– I love the idea. We have so much to celebrate.

Steffy: Yes, including your imminent reunion.

[ Door opening ]

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: I had a rough day.

Brooke: Aw…

Ridge: Hm. Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: What was that for?

Brooke: No reason. Just enjoy kissing my handsome husband, any chance I can.

Ridge: Well, I don’t blame you. Look, I mean, honestly.

Brooke: Well, be prepared ’cause you’re gonna have a lot more kisses coming your way.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. And to think that you were considering moving over to eric’S.

Ridge: Well, to be fair, I still don’t think it’s a bad idea because you’re worried about thomas with douglas and if I’m over there, it could put your mind at ease.

Brooke: No. I don’t want you going anywhere, for any reason. I want you right here, with me. Besides, how much longer is hope going to allow douglas to stay over there?

Douglas: So cool. These baseball cards were all yours?

Thomas: Well, they were. ‘Til today. I’d like to give them to you.

Douglas: Seriously?

Thomas: If you’ll take care of them.

Douglas: Yes.

Eric: Wow. Look at all this. Nice score, douglas. You know, I think your dad has some of these that are actually autographed.

Thomas: Yeah, I may have kept those separate.

Eric: What a good idea. You might wanna do that with some of these, too. They’re in danger of being drooled upon. Steffy just called and wants to do another family gathering. You know how hayes is.

Thomas: Ah, gotcha.

Eric: You two are available for another family get together, aren’t you?

Thomas: There’s nothing we’d like more.

Liam: Has thomas given any indication? Any indication, at all, of when he’s going to let douglas come home?

Hope: No.

Liam: Okay. This is getting freaking weird, man. Every day that passes, thomas wants douglas to live with him even more. Like why– why are you not just saying to him that– that douglas needs to come home? Like, today.

Hope: If I thought douglas was in danger, or being mistreated, I would put an end to it immediately. But we both know that’s not the case. He’s having a great time, and I have to be really careful about how I handle this because I do not want this to turn into some full-blown custody battle. I don’t wanna put douglas through that, and it just would be awful for him.

Thomas: There.

Douglas: All right, thanks again. I know right where I can put these in my room. Oh, is it okay if I keep the cards there?

Eric: Of course. It’s your room, douglas.

Thomas: Thanks again, granddad, for letting us stay here. I really appreciate it.

Eric: Well, I wish you wouldn’t think of it as me letting you stay here. I mean, this is your home. You’re forresters. And the more of us there are in this house, the better I like it. Nothing more important than family.

Thomas: Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

Taylor: Well, don’t get too excited ’cause your dad might not be available. Brooke might have plans for him.

Steffy: She may, but they could always postpone it. Can’t hurt to ask.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Brooke: So elegant. I love this one, really.

Ridge: Steffy. How’s it going?

Steffy: Great. Even better if you say yes.

Ridge: What am i agreeing to?

Steffy: We are thinking about meeting up at granddad’s? Finn, myself, the kids… mom’s gonna come too. We just figured that last time was so much fun. So, what do you say? You wanna join us?

Ridge: That– that sounds great. I’ll see you over there.

Steffy: Okay. Cool. Yeah, I’ll– we’ll be seeing you soon.

Ridge: Love ya.

Brooke: So, you’re meeting steffy somewhere?

Ridge: Yeah, over at dad’S. She wants to bring the family together again.

Brooke: That means taylor. Am I invited? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Ridge: It’s a family get together. You’re family, so yeah, you’re invited. You wanna go?

Brooke: Did steffy invite us or you? Okay, look. I’m gonna just stay home.

Ridge: You sure?

Brooke: You are my husband. And I know you’ll be coming back here very soon. For more of those wonderful kisses. Enjoy yourself, and please give everybody my best.

Ridge: I’ll do it.

Brooke: Okay.

Liam: Hey. At the end of the day, I’m gonna support you, full stop. No matter how you decide to handle this with thomas. Okay? I just– I just really, really, really want you to be careful, and not let your guard down.

Hope: I never do.

Liam: Good.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Both sighing ]

Hope: Oh, it is…

Both: Thomas.

Hope: Um, well, maybe it’s him calling to ask about dropping douglas.

Liam: Oh-ho-ho, I doubt it.

[ Clears throat ]

Hope: Hey, thomas.

Thomas: Hey, you’re on speaker.

Douglas: Hi, mom!

Hope: Oh, hey, bud. I’m so happy you called. What’s up?

Thomas: A lot. Actually, we are planning another whole big party. Steffy and finn are on the way.

Douglas: It’s gonna be super fun. Maybe you could come?

Hope: Oh, um… yeah, I guess I could stop by for a little bit.

Douglas: Awesome. Thank you!

Hope: I guess I’ll see you soon.

[ Phone beeps ]

Liam: Invite to what?

Hope: Oh… you know, eric’s just having a big family gathering at their place, and douglas really wanted me to be there. And I already know what you’re going to say, but you should have heard him. He was so excited.

Liam: Hey. Why do you suppose it is that, um, I didn’t get an invite? Do you think it’s possible, at least possible, that thomas’s old feelings for you are starting to be rekindled?

Donna: Hi, honey bear. You ready for a martini?

Eric: Donna? I thought you were… donna? Wh– douglas? Was that you?

Douglas: Yeah. This really funny app. You just sample somebody’s voice, and then you say whatever you want, and it says that in that voice. Really cool, right?

Zende: Now, what is this I’m hearing about a party?

Eric: Not a party– a party? Who said anything about a party? No, no, no. When steffy called, she said it was just a get together. If she had said party, I probably would’ve said no. But, you know…

Thomas: Right. Sure. If it was up to you, I think that you’d have a party every night.

Eric: You’re absolutely right.

Douglas: Yeah, mom’s coming, too.

Eric: Now, that’s great news.

Douglas: Yeah.

Eric: Cool. That’s cool.

Ridge: Hello, hello!

Eric: Hello, ridge. Come in, come in.

Ridge: Dad, I got bad news for you. There’s riffraff in your driveway. You gotta change the code to your gate. It’s just getting worse and worse.

Steffy: Hey! Not kicking us out this time.

Kelly: Hey douglas, wanna play?

Douglas: Yeah! Let’s go to my room.

Ridge: Ah, [Indistinct].

[ Taylor laughs ]

Eric: Look at that, running up those stairs. I love that. Look at this guy! Has he grown another foot since I saw him last?

Steffy: Oh, he’s getting big. I think he’s gonna be big like his daddy.

Ridge: Well, he may get his height from his dad, but good looks? Boom, right here.

Taylor: Oh, no…

Eric: It’s a whole family of good looks.

Ridge: No?

Thomas: No.

Zende: He’s getting his swag from his cousin, that’s for sure.

Taylor: Okay, it does not matter who he gets his good traits from. We’re gonna love him anyway.

Eric: That’s true. Look, no offense. I know his last name is finnegan, but… to me, he’s a forrester. Through and through.

Finn: Oh, no. I’m not offended. In fact, I’m almost certain he’s gonna take after his strong, determined, fearless forrester mother.

Steffy: Yeah. Totally.

Eric: I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to explain to you how much this means to me to have you all here. This multi-generational group. This house where I raised my own kids. And some of my grandkids are here, and then my great-grandson, and my great-great-grandson.

[ Chuckling ] It brings this house alive to have you all here. You fill it with love. Thank you. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

[ Hope sighing ]

Liam: Listen. You are my wife. The love of my life. And I can’t help it, every instinct I have is about protecting you and our family. And I just– I just really want you to be safe.

Hope: And I appreciate that, I do. But I really don’t think I need any protecting from thomas. And if I’m being honest…

Liam: Uh-huh?

Hope: I don’t think douglas does either. So, try not to worry. Okay? I’ll keep you updated?

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Oh, but– hey, hey, you– but you are gonna– you are gonna, like, bring douglas home with you today, right?

Hope: Yes. But I– I mean, we also have to see how it goes.

Liam: See how it g– the kid’s been over there eight years already. Come on!

Hope: He has certainly been over there too long. Yes, I know.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Bye.

Liam: Bye.

Hope: Oh! Mom, hi.

Brooke: Oh, hi honey.

Hope: Um, liam actually– he’s going to update you on everything, so…

Brooke: Oh, okay.

Hope: Bye.

Brooke: Well…

[Laughs] Where is she going in such a hurry?

Liam: Oh, let me tell you. Uh, thomas and douglas called and invited hope over to a little family soirée, which I’m pretty sure is french for pretext.

Brooke: Oh. Well, that’s interesting. Ridge is on his way over there too. I feel like there’s something more going on here.

Liam: Funny, I have the same feeling.

Zende: Steffy, thank you for suggesting this. I was bummed that I wasn’t home the other night when you guys got together.

Steffy: Granddad told me about your hot date.

Zende: I would’ve preferred to be here.

Thomas: Well, you’re in luck, zende, because steffy’s new thing is to have parties. So, if you miss one, there’ll be another one coming up.

Steffy: Is that a problem?

Thomas: No, actually, I love it. It reminds me of old times.

Steffy: Yeah, me too.

Thomas: Anyway. Hope is on her way, just fyi.

Taylor: Oh.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

Steffy: Hope’s coming?

Taylor: Yeah, you didn’t– you didn’t tell us that you invited her.

Thomas: Yeah, I know that she’s, like, a dreaded logan and all, but she is douglas’s mother, right? So, she’s– she’s family.

Eric: And she’s welcome in this house any time.

Steffy: Yeah. I’m just hoping that hope doesn’t bring up where douglas should or shouldn’t be living.

Taylor: Yeah. I mean, how does she feel about douglas spending so much time over here?

Thomas: Well, she actually doesn’t mind douglas spending time over here. It’s when he stays, that is kind of an issue. But she’s being as supportive as she can be.

Steffy: Is she coming around to the fact that you want douglas living with you?

Thomas: Um, well, I don’t know if she’s exactly gone that far. Look, we’re trying to do our best to make this work, and not put douglas in the middle of it or cause him any harm.

Taylor: Yeah, the thing that bothers me is that she thinks you would cause him harm.

Thomas: That is why I invited her over here, so that she can see that this is an amazing place for douglas to be.

Steffy: Okay. Just don’t be surprised if hope insists on bringing douglas home tonight.

Hope: Hi.

Thomas: Hey.

Eric: Hope, hi. Come in. I’m glad to see you.

Hope: Um, did thomas let you know that I’d be stopping by?

Steffy: He warned us, yes.

Thomas: [Whispers] Steffy…

Hope: Okay, great. Um, is douglas…

Thomas: Oh, yeah, yeah. He’s upstairs with kelly, they’re playing, and amelia’s watching them.

Hope: Okay. I won’t interrupt him just yet.

[ Clearing throat ] But thank you, everyone, for including me.

Thomas: Ah, you’ll– you’ll always be included. It’s what I was just talking about before you got here. You are douglas’s mother, and that makes you family. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Liam: Hope can think that thomas isn’t consciously up to no good, this time around, but how can she deny that something is off? You know?

Brooke: I feel the same way. It’s like there’s outside forces at play. And taylor and steffy, they are all too eager to take advantage. And we both know that steffy and thomas want their parents back together.

Liam: Yeah, well, they can want what they want, but ridge is still your husband.

Brooke: Doesn’t seem to matter to them. Now that douglas is over there, they have even more ammunition. I think they have more reasons to lure ridge over there, to be a part of their sweet little family.

Ridge: Here’s to us. You look good.

Zende: Thank you.

Ridge: Come on.

Taylor: [Indistinct]

Eric: [Indistinct]

Ridge: Gin and tonic.

Taylor: Oh, thank you.

Ridge: You’re welcome.

Zende: I cannot believe how cool this is. Seeing you two in each other’s arms. I still can’t quite process what happened.

Steffy: I know, I’m still trying to process it, too.

Taylor: It was so beautiful. It really was. I– I wish I could explain to the two of you what happened. It was filled with so many emotions, and… I dunno, it was just– it was a day filled with magical surprises.

[ Thomas laughing ]

Thomas: Oh, those looks!

Hope: The look that kelly gave douglas.

Thomas: I know, and he just dove and it was– it was crazy. With the– he just threw, like, I feel like it was [Indistinct]–

Steffy: What is– what is going on?

Thomas: Oh, you had to be there.

Hope: It was just– they were fighting over who got to put the last puzzle piece, and it was just…

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah.

Steffy: Douglas seems like he’s really enjoying himself here.

Hope: And I’m– I’m pleased that he is. That he gets to spend time with his dad and his great granddad. I think that’s important.

Ridge: Oh, it’s important. It’s the most important thing because we all can learn from this great man, mr. Eric forrester. The patriarch. I’m still learning from him. Thank you so much for having us– always having us. And welcoming us with open arms, always.

Eric: We’re family, all of us. That door is never locked to any of us.

Ridge: And we appreciate that ’cause this is– what do you call it? Our…

Steffy: Shangri-la.

Ridge: Shangri-la, right? This is a place where forresters go to do whatever they need to do, whether it’S… a funeral or a wedding or any kind of celebration. And that’s what today is. It’s a celebration. And I’m so glad you’re here for it because we wanna celebrate you and celebrate everything that you’ve done for that little boy. Everything that you gave him. You gave him everything he needed.

Hope: And I will always be there for him.

Ridge: No, I know that. I know that. But now, you don’t have to do it alone because thomas is here, and he’s a loving, caring father, just like you. Look at you, you’re such a great dad, and a great husband.

Finn: There’s nothing more important to me or cherished, than steffy and the kids.

Ridge: The kids– they’re always going to be your kids. You know that, right? I look at these two goofballs, and they’ve fully grown, but they’re still my kids. And I’m so proud of you guys. We are– we’re– we’re proud of you.

Taylor: So, so very proud. Yes.

Ridge: And if I haven’t said it before, you guys are who you are because of this woman. Because of her strength, and her wisdom and she– she loved you into the people that you are today. This gorgeous, amazing woman right here. Look, if I learned anything, it’s that this family is not the same when you’re not around. This has been a rough couple of months for all of us, but we made it through. We weathered the storm, right? And we’re here, and we’re stronger than ever. Forresters!

All: Forresters.

[ Glasses clinking ]

Ridge: Love you, dad.

Thomas: Cheers.

Steffy: I’m never going to take any of this for granted.

Finn: It’s hard to do when every moment feels like a celebration.

Steffy: Exactly.

Finn: I hope that feeling never goes away.

Steffy: It won’T. This is our future. Sheila can never steal it from us.

Sheila: I’m still here, finn. Mama loves you so much. I’m still here.

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t know you’d be home early.

Ridge: Yeah. I went to dad’S. You know, hope said she was going to be there. And see how it went.

Brooke: Douglas was really happy to see her.

Ridge: Taylor said they had fun.

Brooke: Oh. So, taylor was there.

Ridge: Yeah. They encouraged. Were all encouraged. You are too, right? Come on, please. I know you’re concerned about my son’s past. But, let’s– can we just focus on the future, for now. See that we can find some common ground where douglas is concerned. Thomas loves his son and douglas loves him and– thomas, he’s– he’s a good guy with a big heart. And I wish you could embrace that. The way your daughter has embraced it.

Hope: Is douglas with you? Did you bring him home?

Thomas: I texted you. It’s about the back to school supply list. You said that I could take douglas shopping.

Hope: Oh, I must have had my notifications turned off.

Thomas: It’s okay. I– douglas said that some of the stuff is, like, really specific. I didn’t want him winding up with the wrong kind of markers.

Hope: I– I could have emailed you the list.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, well, I also wanted to see you. Are you alone?

Hope: I am.

Thomas: Hey, I just– I thought that we could also talk about us.

Ridge: I know hope would prefer if douglas lived with her family.

Brooke: In his home, with his family.

Ridge: Look, hope and liam did a great job with the kid. They did.

Brooke: Of course. Hope adopted him. She’s his mom.

Ridge: And she always will be. I’m not saying that she won’T. Look. When thomas was struggling, she stepped up. She was a great parent to that kid. She was his rock. And that’s never going to change. But thomas has changed. And I need you to accept that, the way that hope has accepted it. Look at me. We’re talking about my son.

Hope: You want to talk about us?

Thomas: Yeah. I wanted to talk more at the house, but I thought we might get interrupted by douglas.

Hope: And so, you came all the way over here to talk privately?

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. Just want to talk about our role in douglas’s life as parents.

Hope: Oh. Right. Right.

Thomas: What did you think I meant?

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

Ridge: Thomas and hope are going to work this out together and do what’s best for douglas. Okay?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. So, will I. And so will you. Nobody is questioning that. Oh, I’m sorry. It just– I wish I felt differently. I wish I could trust thomas the way that you do.

Ridge: Well, ah, maybe that moment will come. Maybe he just needs an opportunity to prove himself. But what do we do right now? I assure you, we’re doing everything we can to set them up for success.

Brooke: We? You mean you and taylor?

Ridge: Yeah– no. The family. That’s why he’s living at dad’s house. He needs that support. Yes. Taylor and I are going to help too. That’s our job as parents. We– that’s what we’re doing. We’re gonna make sure he’s okay because, you know what? If I’d done that earlier, then maybe he wouldn’t have made these stupid mistakes in the first place.

Brooke: Thomas made his own mistakes. You are not responsible for his bad choices.

Ridge: I know. But I am responsible now. It’s my son. And I’ll make sure he does the right thing by his little boy. I’m here and I’m determined to see that happen.

Thomas: You knew I was talking about co-parenting.

Hope: Right.

Thomas: About us being a mom and dad.

Hope: Of course.

Thomas: Right. We’re on the same team.

Hope: I hope so.

Thomas: So, we’re in agreement?

Hope: Are we though?

Thomas: Okay. Look. I know that you’re worried about douglas, right? And you’re worried about where he’s going to live. And if he’s living over with me.

Hope: It would be a huge change out of nowhere. I mean, think about everything douglas has already experienced in his young life. Losing his mother. The upheaval with you. And I know that you’re past it and you have a really strong relationship now. I just believe that douglas still needs stability and consistency.

Thomas: Yeah. And you gave him that. You did. But I can, too, hope. That’s what I want. I want nothing else, but my son’s well-being. It’s first for me, and I don’t want to upset douglas or you.

Sheila: Oh, god. Deacon, what are you doing here?

Deacon: What are you– what the hell are you doing here? I had a feeling when I left you at the apartment that something was wrong, so I went back. You weren’t there. It didn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out where you’d gone.

Sheila: I just wanted to see my son.

Deacon: I don’t know what kind of nutso fantasy reunion thing you’re conjuring up here. But it ain’t happening. You can’t see finn. He thinks you’re dead. Everyone else thinks you’re giving a bear indigestion. It’s a good thing. Because if anyone, anyone thinks you’re alive, they’re going to send a platoon of armed guards to storm the deck.

Shelia: Are you worried about me?

Deacon: Get out of here. Go.

Steffy: Deacon? What– you know, it’s customary to use the front door, right?

Deacon: I figured you’d be around back. I mean, you know, if I lived at the beach, that’s where I’d be.

Steffy: What are you doing here?

Deacon: Um. (Vo) purina one has the inside story on your pet’s health.

Brooke: I do understand your devotion to thomas. I do. And your desire to help him succeed. Every parent wants that. But what thomas is suggesting, to take douglas away from his home.

Ridge: I think what he’s suggesting, is that he wants to take the rightful place in his son’s life.

Brooke: Don’t you think that might be a little bit detrimental?

Ridge: Honey, what part? Father and son spending time together?

Brooke: Well, I’m not saying this to be mean or cruel, and I don’t think it will be as bad as it was last time.

Ridge: What is it? What do you mean? Why do you start like that? May not be as bad? What if it is not bad at all? Let’s start there.

Brooke: Would you see it if it were? Look, thomas tried so hard to gain your respect and your support. And he has. You and steffy and taylor. You’re all behind him 100%.

Ridge: Because of that you think we would miss something? How about that? How about I move over there? How about I stay at dad’s and I keep an eye on douglas and thomas until you can give him a chance?

Brooke: You would do that?

Ridge: I would stay at dad’s until you see what I see.

Brooke: Oh, so you would move over there away from me and leave our home?

Thomas: You’re wondering if we’re in agreement? I’m telling you, we are.

Hope: Even though you’re determined to take douglas away.

Thomas: I want to be his dad again.

Hope: You are.

Thomas: No. Not like for an overnight experience. Like, I actually want to be his dad. I want to be there in the morning when he wakes up. I want to put him to bed at night. I want to make him breakfast and send him off to school. Right? I want to tell him no when it’s necessary.

Hope: Really? He rarely makes you do that.

Thomas: Right. But if we’re living together, sometimes I’ll need to. But that’s okay, because he’ll know that I’m there. He’ll know that I’m looking after him, that I’m setting boundaries for him and making sure that he’s safe.

Hope: And I know you can be that type of father.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: I do.

Thomas: I know that we’ve been through a lot. And… I’ve made mistakes. But it means a lot that you believe in me. And I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.

Hope: I appreciate that. But I think if we just… slow down and think about what we’re doing and what douglas needs. Then you’ll hopefully come to realize that douglas’ place is still here with liam, beth and me.

Deacon: What– what am i doing here? I was il giardino, and I saw finn earlier. And I– I just started thinking about that night, you know. And I wanted to come down here and tell you what I told him, which is that I’m just so relieved that you guys are okay.

Steffy: Thank you. It’s kind of you.

Deacon: I’m sorry if I’m bringing up a painful memory.

Steffy: It can’t be pleasant for you either, considering you’re the one who found us.

Deacon: I can’t seem to shake it.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m trying to erase it from my memory, too.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, you know, you got lots of good things to look forward to, though. You got your life with finn, the kids.

Steffy: It’s a true miracle. One you were a big part of. I mean, if you didn’t call 911 when you did. I’m sure you spoke to finn.

Deacon: Oh, yeah. I mean, look, there’s no reason to thank me. I made a phone call. That’s all. I’m no hero.

Steffy: Well, now we don’t have to worry about sheila.

Deacon: Yeah.

Steffy: Hey– hey, do you want to come in and talk to finn?

Deacon: No, no, no, no. I’m going to go. I did what I came here to do. Take care of yourself.

One bounty versus two of the

leading ordinary brand

Thomas: You want me to tell you this is where douglas belongs?

Hope: For right now. At least while we work this out.

Thomas: Hope, he means so much to me and I don’t want there to be any conflict. Look, I am confident that we can make this work for douglas and for us.

Brooke: I don’t want you to go anywhere, ridge.

Ridge: But if that’s what it takes to make you feel good, I got to do it.

Brooke: There’s nothing good about you leaving.

Ridge: Won’t be for a long time. I’d just go for a little while.

Brooke: No. I want you here. Besides, hope is the one who should be monitoring douglas. Ridge, I just got you back. I don’t want something to take you away, especially my own concerns.

Ridge: Well, I take your concerns very seriously.

Brooke: Well, thank you. And I love you for that. We need this time together to reconnect. The longer we’re apart, the more distance is between us. And I certainly don’t want that.

Ridge: It was just an idea.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, it’s a bad idea. Remember everything that happened with deacon and sheila, how we handled that, we didn’t face it together. And that’s what we have to do, ridge. We have to face these things together. Oh, and of course, there was a kiss you had in monaco. I love you. And we really need to take our relationship seriously. We need to love each other. We need to support each other, respect each other. I want that. Please tell me you want that too.

Finn: So, deacon was here?

Steffy: Yeah, he was out on the deck. Kind of weird, right?

Finn: A little bit. I– nothing against the guy. And if it weren’t for him, we could have died in that alley.

Steffy: I don’t want to think about that.

Finn: Is that why he was here?

[ Steffy sighs ] Brought up some bad stuff?

Steffy: Yeah. I just have these nightmares, finn.

Finn: Hey, we’re safe now. And I will always make sure that you are. They’re just bad dreams, babe. They’re going to fade, okay?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Over time. The only thing that I want you to remember about that night is I love you so much that I will literally lay my life on the line for you. Not that anything like that will ever happen again.

Steffy: You better not.

Finn: Look, there’s nothing to be afraid of now that sheila is gone.

Deacon: Am– am I going to have to lock you in here?

Sheila: Oh, well, I don’t know. Are you into prisoner/warden games? I can– I can do that.

Deacon: You know, the entire way back here, I’m thinking to myself, is she really nuts? And then I remember you are the girl who cut her own toe off. And you couldn’t just disappear, could you? You had to set the scene like some kind of creepy horror film.

Sheila: Yeah, and because of that, everyone thinks I’m dead. So why don’t you just cut me a little slack here? Okay, warden?

Deacon: Do you want to go back to prison?

Sheila: I just wanted to see my son.

Deacon: That is not going to happen. Don’t you get it? That’s the price that you have to pay for your freedom. You do not get to have a relationship with finn unless you want to do it from behind bars. Great. Swell. No beer. Going to get one. Stay.

Sheila: Not going to happen? That’s what you think.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Finn: Hey, steffy. I’m home.

Mom?

Sheila: Yes, sweetheart,

it’s– it’s me.

Finn: They told me

you were dead.

Sheila: I know, but I’m–

I’m not. I’m sure that this

is a shock to you. But I’m–

I’m alive, sweetheart.

Finn: I’m– I don’t

believe this. This is–

this is a miracle. This is–

this is a miracle you’re here.

You’re here

and you didn’t leave me.

Sheila: No, I didn’T.

Mama is never going

to leave you. I am always–

I’m always going to be here,

finn. Always.

Ah god, I love you so much. Soon, finn. Soon.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: How was the meeting?

Steffy: Productive.

Finn: Hmm.

Steffy: How are things here?

Finn: Good. Amelia has the kids, they’re having a blast.

Steffy: How was today? You saw your mom, right?

Finn: Yeah, I met her at il giardino.

Steffy: I’m sure that meant a lot to her.

Finn: It means a lot to me. Never appreciated my mom more than I do now. What?

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I hope this doesn’t come off as insensitive or anything, but it is a relief. Knowing when you talk about your mom, it’s– it’s li. You don’t have to worry about sheila anymore, she’s dead.

Sheila: You don’t have to babysit me. You can go back to work, it’s not like I’m gonna–

Deacon: What, do something stupid or crazy again? Yeah, I buy that.

Sheila: I had a disguise on, nobody recognized me.

Deacon: But they could have. Finn could’ve.

Sheila: I didn’t know he was gonna be there. I just wanted to bring you your cell phone.

Deacon: Yeah, well, in doing that, you put my freedom and yours at risk in the process.

Sheila: It was a risk. But you know what? It’s one that I would take again because I got to see my handsome son’s face. The boy that I love more than anything in this world. What don’t you understand about that?

Brooke: Honey, of course thomas was on his best behavior when you were there.

Hope: Well, I’m just saying that thomas aside, you could tell how comfortable douglas was. How much fun he was having over at eric’s with his dad.

Liam: I mean, that’s obviously a good thing, but… you don’t think it changes the fact that douglas’s actual home should be here with you, me and beth, right?

Taylor: Nothing at all. Hi.

Ridge: Hey!

Thomas: Hey, douglas is over at connor’S. They are– well, connor’s got a new puppy, so they’re teaching him to play fetch.

Eric: Oh, that’s nice.

Ridge: How’s that going?

Thomas: It’s– it’s going. I mean, it’s more like the kids are playing fetch, and the dog’s just, like, rolling around, being cute.

Taylor: That makes sense.

Eric: Maybe we should get a puppy, let’s get a dog. Douglas would love that.

Ridge: No, he’s not staying–

Taylor: I would love that.

Thomas: That would be great, I love dogs. And douglas would enjoy– you know, it’s just, things are in flux at the moment, so maybe we should just wait for now.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. I’m glad that you asked hope to stop by to see how everything was going here, you know. Do you think that– that she can see that douglas belongs here? With his father, who loves him, and the rest of his forrester family?

Thomas: You know, I think that I’m making some progress in convincing her of that.

Taylor: Good. This is a tough situation, you know. Especially with brooke being so hyper vigilant about everything, and–

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: What? She’s– she’s telling hope that– that douglas only belongs there, and not with us. It makes me sad. This whole thing is turning into a logan versus forrester tug of war.

Ridge: I don’t, um– I don’t think anybody wants to see a tug of war, especially when a young man’s future’s at stake.

Taylor: Thomas and hope can make their own decisions without being influenced or pressured.

Thomas: That’s what we’re trying to do. Though, in all honesty, I can see why hope has her concerns. You know, I mean… her, and liam, and beth, they have a family together. And it’s a wonderful family that they’ve made in every sense of the word. And so to uproot douglas from that, bring him over here, I mean, yeah, obviously we have a family as well, it’s just that… there’s a lot to consider.

Eric: You’re right about that. There is. But whatever you decide, you’re welcome here.

Thomas: Thanks, granddad.

Taylor: Hold on, have you changed your mind about having douglas with you?

Thomas: Not at all. It’s just– I’m really trying to be sensitive to hope’s feelings.

Hope: Of course, I want douglas to come home, but there’s also no denying how much of a wonderful time he’s having over there.

Liam: Oh, yeah, but– but nobody’s questioning that. What we’re questioning is– is whether that means thomas should be douglas’s primary caregiver, especially given his past. I mean, for me, the answer’s no.

Brooke: I agree. No matter how much taylor claims that thomas has changed, I will always be wary of him. And you should be too, sweetheart. You can never let your guard down.

Finn: We don’t have to talk about sheila.

Steffy: We haven’t really spoken about sheila since we learned she died. I haven’t wanted to push or anything, but… if you need to talk about it. I’m sure you have some conflicting emotions about her death. You can tell me. And I will do everything I can to try to understand.

Sheila: Finn was there. Deacon, my son was there. I couldn’t believe it.

Deacon: You know what I couldn’t believe? That you had the nerve to waltz your butt into the restaurant. I mean, you– you almost gave me a heart attack.

Sheila: Yeah, but just to see him there, just to get a glimpse of his face. It was– it was like–

Deacon: Like what? Like you never put a bullet in him.

Sheila: You know, I just– I am so proud of him. I mean, any mother would be proud to have a son just like finn. I know that we’ve had our challenges, but, you know… I can sense my– my… my beautiful angel, he still loves me. I could feel it in my heart, deacon, he loves me. Hi, I’m denise.

Eric: All right. Sorry to rush off, everybody. I’m meeting donna at the club.

Taylor: Aw.

Thomas: All right. Have fun, granddad.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: Pickleball?

Eric: Yeah, pickleball.

Ridge: It’s what the kids call it these days.

[ Door closes ] Your grandfather’s very happy that you and douglas are staying at the house.

Taylor: Yeah, he really is. I just pray that hope uses her discernment in all of this.

Thomas: I really do think that hope believes I’ve changed.

Taylor: Good. Because brooke does not share the same opinion as her daughter.

Hope: Mom, I love that you’re always looking out for me, but–

Brooke: It’s just…

[ Sighing ] You always look for the best in people, honey.

Liam: Which is one of our favorite things about you, let’s be clear. It’s just… where thomas is concerned, just because he’s been a better dad lately, doesn’t change all the horrible stuff he’s done in the past.

Hope: Okay. All right, fine. I get that. But believe me, I haven’t forgotten any of it.

Liam: All right, that’s it– well, that’s all we care about, is that– I mean, so one visit hasn’t changed your mind, right? You don’t suddenly think that– that now douglas should go live with thomas full time, right?

Steffy: I don’t wanna push. So, if you’re not ready to talk about sheila, I understand.

Finn: It’s okay. Really, I just, I– I haven’t said much about sheila since we found out what happened because I’ve been focused on… on you. On my gorgeous wife. Our amazing kids, this loving home. When I was apart from all of you, it was that love that gave me the strength to keep fighting, and get back to my family. It was that love that kept me alive. As for sheila, I mean, she said that she loved me, and maybe she did in her own warped way. But it was a selfish love, an obsessive one.

Steffy: A destructive one. Never forget the reason we almost lost you was because of sheila.

Deacon: Sheila… I know that you wanna believe that finn doesn’t hate you.

Sheila: He doesn’t hate me. He doesn’t hate anyone.

Deacon: No, of course not. Finn’s a boy scout. My point is–

Sheila: Finn has a huge heart. A huge, forgiving heart. And yes, I realize that he’s probably very angry with me right now, but– but in time, he’s not gonna look at me so harshly.

Deacon: Most people would call that wishful thinking. I mean, especially considering the fact that you almost killed him.

Sheila: What did you just say?

Deacon: Sheila, you came this close to– the guy almost bought the farm because of you. I mean, if you think that he could actually love you after that, I’m sorry. It’s delusional. Big time! (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Are you doing okay?

Ridge: I’m great.

Taylor: No, you’re not.

Ridge: Why?

Taylor: God, ridge. Thomas appreciates your support so much. You know, really does. He needs it. And he knows you’re gonna stand by him. Even if it’s the last thing brooke wants.

Brooke: Douglas has made incredible progress with you and liam. And for thomas to risk that.

Hope: He doesn’t feel like he is, though. He feels like he is ready to take on that responsibility.

Liam: But– and, what? Like, you’re– you’re inclined to agree now just because that’s what thomas wants?

Hope: Well… what if it’s what douglas wants and needs?

Brooke: Did douglas say something like that?

Hope: No, no. Douglas has not asked to go live with thomas. And of course, I want douglas home here with us, but he is douglas’s father. Douglas idolizes him. And he deserves to have a healthy, loving, committed father.

Finn: Wish I could just forget that any of this ever happened and that my birth mother was the reason for it.

Steffy: We just went through a lot, you know. So much grieving. I mean, I thought you were gone because of that woman.

Finn: I’m sorry. For all of it. No, every tear that she made you shed, every moment that she stole from us. Sheila’s dead. And she’s not gonna hurt you or anyone that I love ever again.

Sheila: I know finn’s feelings for me must be very confusing.

Deacon: Oh, you think?

Sheila: Oh, would you stop? Could you just be a little more supportive?

Deacon: Supportive? Are you kidding me? I’m letting you live here! A ginormous risk to me! I don’t know what else to do to be more supportive.

Sheila: Well, okay, I want emotional support where my son is concerned. You, of all people, know the relationship that I was building with him. Was it ideal? No. I had some challenges. I mean, steffy… she was just not making it easy, okay? You know, she’s the one that pushed me to the edge, and she cost me so much. My relationship with finn, with hayes, even with taylor.

Deacon: It’s not like you and taylor were bffs.

Sheila: No, but– ugh. She at least was giving me a chance. You know, I had a shot at having a place in that family. And then everything happened in the alley. Oh, god, I just– I thank god that… that finn survived.

Deacon: Okay, uh, break time’s over. I gotta get back to work and back to the land of reality. So, if you could just stay here, don’t do anything crazy. That would be tremendous for all of us.

[ Deacon sighing ] Sheila, I’m sorry, all right? I– you exasperate me. I know how much you love finn. I do. You gotta let it go. That relationship is dead, and it’s dead because finn thinks you’re dead. Don’t ever forget that.

Sheila: I refuse to believe that I am never going to have a relationship with my son.

You never know

what opportunities

Thomas: I want what’s best

for douglas.

And, yeah, do I want him

living here in the family

home with me?

Yeah, but the ideal is that

he lives with both of us.

Unlike liam,

I’m a one woman man. Hope? Is it a bad time? You seemed kinda lost in thought.

Taylor: It’s no fun. Let’s talk about our kids, and how happy we are for them. I mean, look at thomas and douglas, they’ve– they’ve never been closer.

Ridge: That’s for sure.

Taylor: And steffy… her family’s back together again. She’s happy and smiling.

Ridge: So are her parents. Nice to see them, the whole little family. What a nice unit.

Taylor: You know, it– it meant a lot to me and the kids, when you vowed to be there for our family.

Ridge: Well, I meant what I said, doc.

Taylor: I know you did. Okay, I know that you’re brooke’S. But when you call me “doc”… it feels like you’re here with me.

Steffy: I know how much you love me, and the kids. I know how committed you are to us. But you haven’t really answered my question. Sheila was your birth mother. She brought you into this world. She did horrible things and now she’s dead. How do you really feel?

[ Finn sighing ]

Finn: I just wished sheila was different. Something I still can’t fathom is how a woman who gave me life, could come so close to taking mine. And my wife’S. You’re the mother of her grandchild. I don’t really know what to do with that, steffy, if I ever will. There’s a tiny part of me that can’t forget that if it weren’t for sheila, I never would have been born. I would never have been here with you.

Sheila: Someday, I’m gonna be holding you again, too. Because I love you, finn. Mama is always gonna love you.

Finn: I just want to put that entire night behind me, which has been easier to do now that sheila’s no longer a threat. I assume you heard through hope that sheila, she– she died.

Deacon: Yeah.

Finn: Something wrong?

Deacon: It’s just, uh… that’s a lot to take in.

Finn: Are you– are you okay?

Deacon: I’m just, uh… sorry. I’m just trying to figure out if we’re gonna get a big rush or not, if we have enough stuff– would you mind if I handled something really quick? Do you need anything?

Finn: No, I’m okay.

Deacon: I’m gonna get you some water. I’ll get you some water.

Finn: Okay.

Deacon: Go. Now.

Sheila: [Mouthing] What?

Deacon: Now.

Brooke: Oh… I worry about her.

Liam: Me too.

Brooke: You know, hope is so optimistic, and she puts so much faith into people.

Liam: Yeah, she does. Not sure thomas deserves any of that.

Brooke: No, he doesn’T. He’s trying to prove that he does. Inviting hope over to witness his wonderful parenting style.

Liam: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is what this little trip is all about. I’m just not convinced he’s doing any of it for the right reasons.

Brooke: Yeah, well. I guess we’ll find out. Hope’s over there right now, watching thomas in action with douglas.

Hope: I spy with my little eye… something that starts with F.

Douglas: [Whispers] Flower.

Thomas: Flowers. Flowers. Flowers. Flowers?

Hope: Yup, you got it.

Douglas: Oh yes.

Thomas: Oh, yeah.

Douglas: Okay, I spy with my little eye… something that starts with A… P.

Hope: P? Hmm. P, p, p, p, P… possibly pillows?

Douglas: Yeah! Your turn, dad.

Thomas: Okay. I spy with my little eye… something that starts with an M.

Douglas: M…

Thomas: It also starts with H. It’s beautiful. It’s kind. It’s sweet.

Douglas: Oh, mom.

Thomas: Yeah, that was a little too easy.

Douglas: I’m glad you came here. It’s really fun and I love spending more time with dad.

Liam: There was a time when I really did think that thomas had changed. It’s just the way he’s acting now makes me doubt it all over again. Should I have gone over there with her?

Brooke: I don’t think you were invited. I’m pretty sure he only asked hope to come over.

Liam: Touché. I know that hope can handle herself. I know that. But you know what thomas is capable of, right? And the fact is, hope would do anything, literally anything, for douglas. And he could– he could easily exploit that.

Brooke: Yes. Yes, he could put on a performance of a lifetime. But hope knows thomas. She knows what he’s capable of. There is no way she’s gonna let thomas convince her that douglas should live there with him.

Thomas: I’m glad you like being here, bud, it means we get to hang out more together.

Douglas: I’m having so much fun here, mom. Dad has just the best dinosaur voice.

Thomas: Oh, you mean like this one?

[ Imitating dinosaur roar ]

Douglas: Yup, okay. He even made me pancakes. Yours are better.

Thomas: What? What do you mean? No! I put bananas, and blueberries in those things, it was so good!

Hope: I am sure your dad’s are pretty good, though.

Thomas: Thank you.

Douglas: He, uh, he does tell the best stories. Great grandad too.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah, uh, definitely doing a lot of bonding over here. He’s been getting all the forrester classics.

Hope: Nice.

Thomas: Yeah, really has been great having this guy to myself for the last few days.

Douglas: Oh, I wish I could see you every day, dad.

Customer: Thank you.

Deacon: [Indistinct] Finn, got you some water. Uh, you want a beer or something? One of the perks of the job, I can give away free booze.

[ Chuckles ]

Bill: Finn! Hey.

Finn: Bill! What’s up, man?

Bill: Doesn’t get old, the sight of you alive and well.

Finn: Grab some lunch?

Deacon: [Mouthing] Go. Go.

Bill: Yeah. That’s why I’m here. Bill spencer eats too. (Assad) since my mother

Brooke: I really do hate feeling this way about ridge’s son. I mean, thomas can be calculating and cunning, and of course, I’m going to doubt his intentions.

Liam: Yeah, but it’s not like you don’t have a reason.

Brooke: Everybody’s saying that thomas is changed. Taylor says that he’s a perfect saint, so I’m trying to look at him in a different light. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s hard, you know, because of the past, of what’s been done.

Liam: But it’s not– it’s not just the past. I mean, I’m struggling with the way he’s acting now.

Brooke: We can’t forget about his past behavior, right? The things that he did. How he threatened hope and made her feel uncomfortable, and all of his secrets.

Liam: Yeah, he was obsessed with her. And it made him unstable around douglas.

Brooke: I feel like we’re going backwards. Worried about thomas’s influence, once again.

Liam: I think I’m just realizing that I’m never not gonna have my guard up when it comes to thomas. I mean, in a perfect world, if I had it my way, hope would just never have to interact with him at all. But, that’s impossible. Because hope and thomas are douglas’s parents.

Hope: So, how do you feel? I know school will be starting up again soon.

Thomas: Yeah, douglas, what are you most excited about?

Douglas: All my friends.

Hope: Aw, I bet you’re excited to see them, and share all the fun stuff you did this summer?

Douglas: Yeah, like me and dad, we went camping.

Hope: Camping?

Thomas: Totally. Out on the lawn. You know, we lasted, like, 45 minutes before we came inside and realized our beds were upstairs?

Hope: Oh.

Douglas: It’s super fun though.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. Well, we saw a shooting star.

Douglas: It’s called a meteor, dad.

Thomas: Genius, I’m telling you.

Hope: Well, I’m sure you’re going to have another terrific school year.

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? I just wanna say that we are so proud of you. You always do your best, and you make us proud, and I want you to know that if you ever need anything, like you need help with homework, right? Or if the kids are bugging you at school. Or you want to talk about girls…

Douglas: Girls?

Hope: I think he is still in that phase of liking lizards and rocket ships.

Thomas: Yeah.

Douglas: Well, thank you for letting me stay here so long, mom. It’s been awesome, and I really miss dad when we’re not spending time together, you know?

Thomas: I miss you, too, bud. I hope we get to spend more time together soon.

Douglas: I hope so.

Bill: Well, it is great to see you out and about.

Deacon: Doesn’t he look great?

Finn: Yeah, it’s pretty surreal for steffy and me both.

Bill: Yeah, I’ll bet. Sheila put you guys through hell.

Finn: Glad to put that chapter behind me. Thanks again, by the way, for all your help.

Bill: Forget it.

Finn: No, you were instrumental in reuniting steffy, the kids, and me. I mean, flying me your jet to monte carlo?

Bill: It was my pleasure. I was happy to do it. What are you doing here by yourself? You’re not hanging around with this bozo, are you? And don’t you have a dish to go scrub or something?

Deacon: Do you want a drink or not?

Bill: Yeah, I do. I want your best scotch.

Deacon: Great.

Bill: And don’t spit in it.

Deacon: Haven’t thought of that.

Finn: Um, you know, it’s, uh… my mom and I, we were having lunch here earlier.

Bill: Nice. How is li?

Finn: She’s good. She’s great, um, again, big part thanks to you rescuing her.

Bill: All right, I’m begging you, finn. You gotta stop thanking me. You and your mom are good people. Steffy is the mother of my granddaughter. I’ll always do what I can for you guys. You were all victim to that maniac, sheila.

Finn: Well, I mean, it’s like I told my mom earlier, I refuse to let sheila control my life. Especially now that she’s dead.

Deacon: [Whispers] Get out of here now. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Liam: I mean, you gotta hand it to hope. She’s been incredibly patient with thomas, beyond accommodating.

Brooke: I just don’t get it. I mean, for years, thomas wasn’t even capable of parenting. He wasn’t even focused on it. And now that’s all that he wants to do?

Liam: It’s kind of a 180, isn’t it?

Brooke: I just hope he’s not up to something. I hope he’s not playing some kind of game. And I hope he has douglas’s best interests at heart. Even then, I don’t think he should be a full-time parent.

Liam: No, he absolutely shouldn’t be. And by the way, why is he doing this to hope? Douglas’s adoptive mother. Yes, she didn’t give birth to him, but she’s his mom in every way that counts.

Brooke: And she loves him so much. This is douglas’s home. This is his family. You, hope, and beth.

Thomas: You know, we are raising a pretty impressive kid.

Hope: Douglas is a smart, sensitive boy, and I think it’s a good sign that he’s so eager to go back to school.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, all those things he was saying… he loves spending time here, and he misses me, I… I didn’t coach him.

Hope: I know.

Thomas: Okay, ’cause, you know, it’s– like, I just sometimes feel like the boy who cried wolf. I’ve deceived you so many times. But I made a vow to myself that I was going to be a better man. The kind of man that douglas can look up to, the kind of father he can be proud of. And I think I have, I think I’ve really straightened myself out. I hope you can believe me.

Deacon: Hey, you got those drinks for me?

Bartender: Yeah, right here.

Deacon: Thanks. Just put those on my tab, all right? On the house, boys.

Bill: Hm. From you, impossible. What’s the catch?

Deacon: I just wanna make sure everyone’s happy.

Finn: Thanks. Got a good lunch crowd in here today.

Deacon: Yeah. Gotta get back to work.

Bill: Listen, finn, uh… I gotta tell you. It’s pretty brave, coming back to the scene of that horrible night that almost ended your life.

Finn: Yeah, I, uh… my heart raced a little bit when I drove through the neighborhood, but like I said, I’m not going to let sheila dictate my life.

Bill: Good for you. You know that bear did you a favor, all right? It did us all a favor. I can’t imagine a more fitting end to a miserable life. Sheila carter being torn to shreds like the animal she was.

Finn: That’s a pretty brutal way to go.

Bill: And well deserved. I mean, what are the odds? Sheila runs from the cops, hides in the woods like the coward that she was, and ends up being eaten for breakfast. Payback’s a bitch.

Finn: I’ll never understand why she did the things she did.

Bill: Oh, it’s simple. She’s a certifiable maniac.

Finn: Maybe she was. Definitely had some issues.

Bill: Yeah.

Finn: But she is the woman who gave birth to me. I wouldn’t be here without sheila carter.

Liam: Come on, hope, text me back.

Hope: Beth is alive.

Liam: Yes. She’s been with us the whole time.

Hope: As phoebe.

Liam: Yes, and thomas– thomas knew. He knew, and he kept it from you.

Hope: No.

[Door opens loudly]

Thomas: What the hell do you think you’re doing? Get away from my wife.

Hope: Thomas!

Liam: You lying son of a bitch.

Hope: Thomas. Thomas, look at me. What liam is saying, is it true?

Liam: Go ahead, thomas. Now’s your chance, tell the truth for once in your life.

Thomas: I am warning you. Back off.

Liam: You see this, hope? Hope he’s not denying it. He is using your grief to manipulate you because that’s what a sick bastard like this thinks love is.

Thomas: You are the lying son of a bitch.

Liam: Tell that to your son.

Hope: Liam! Liam!

Thomas: No. No.

Hope: No. Thomas, what is wrong with you?

Thomas: This way, this way.

Hope: Let me go! Liam!

Liam: Tell her. Tell her you’ve been lying to her. Tell her that you’ve been keeping her daughter from her! Tell her!

Hope: Oh, my god…

Liam: Don’t let him get inside your head.

Hope: Yes, thomas. I do believe that you’ve changed. I can see how much you care about our son, and it is very clear how much he adores you.

Thomas: That’s why I need more time with him. I mean, you’ve had him for so long.

Hope: What do you mean by “you’ve had him”? I’m his mother.

Thomas: No, you’re right. You are his mother. And douglas does need you, but he also needs me. He needs both of us.

Hope: I can see that he’s having a great time here, but that is also because it is different. It’s new, it’s exciting. It’s– it’s not home. It’s not his home, where he has a little sister who’s been asking about him. So, I just don’t understand why you’re trying to take that away from him, or from me.

Thomas: My intentions are not to hurt you, okay? They’re not to hurt anyone. I want what’s best for douglas, and yeah– do I want him living here in the family home with me? Yeah! Absolutely. But the ideal is that he lives with both of us. And I get that that’s impossible, I understand, you’re with liam. But unlike liam, or my father, I’m a one woman man. And that woman is you.

Deacon: What the hell, sheila? What were you thinking?

Sheila: I was doing you a favor. You forgot your phone.

Deacon: A favor? By what? Getting us thrown back in prison?

Sheila: You know, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect to run into anybody that knew me, let alone my son. But, oh my god, what a blessing. To see his handsome face again, and to hear what he– he said about me. Oh, god, you could hear the sadness in his voice. He misses me.

Deacon: Please…

Sheila: Look, okay, you think I’m crazy, but my son still loves me. He’s sad that– that– that I died, I– I could just sense it, and being in the same room with him was–

Deacon: Was a huge mistake, is what it was.

Sheila: No, it was better than I could have ever expected. No, every– everything that I’ve done, I mean– faking my own death, risking everything. My freedom to come back here. I mean, just to– just to see him and– and know that he still cares about me. His mother!

Deacon: All right, just take it down a notch. All right? Enjoy your little victory lap here, ’cause this is the last time you’re gonna see finn. Even that stupid disguise, it’s too risky.

Sheila: But my son!

Deacon: Sheila. Sheila! Come back to reality. Hi. Don’t get any wild ideas.

Sheila: Oh, this changes everything, deacon. There’s no way that I’m leaving los angeles. Not when I know that I have a chance at a relationship with my son. Ughh!

Deacon: Take it easy there, stumble-dore. You don’t have a nasty fall.

Sheila: You think it’s wise to tease a woman that’s willing to cut off her own toe to stay out of prison?

Deacon: You know, sheila, I’m not even gonna mention the creep factor, having your little friend over there. But I mean, the lengths that you’ll go to– to get what you want, it’s disturbing.

Sheila: You should remember that, handsome.

Li: Sheila’s pure evil. She was pure evil. Still scares the hell outta me that she almost took you from me.

Finn: I know. I know. Me too, but I’m here. Okay. We’re here.

Li: You know, I’m actually surprised you chose this restaurant of all places given what happened in the alley.

Finn: No, but I’m not gonna let that night define the rest of my life. Plus, this place has the best ravioli in L.A., So.

Li: How do you do that? No matter what happens, your light… your warmth never dims.

Finn: I mean, I’m just– I’m grateful, mom. And now more than ever, I have this amazing second chance at life. And it’s all because of you.

Brooke: Douglas is spending another night at eric’s?

Hope: He said he was having a great time.

Brooke: And you’re comfortable with that?

Hope: I am trying to keep an open mind. And besides, I’ve always wanted him to have a strong relationship with his father.

Liam: Yeah. We want that too, but thomas getting quality time with his son, it’s not exactly the concern.

Brooke: I am getting worried that thomas has no intention of bringing douglas home.

Taylor: You know, douglas, these are so good. You’re– you’re really good at this.Nd and I’m not just saying that because you’re my grandson. Like these are spectacular.

Douglas: I’m sorry, I didn’t make you an outer space painting. When I got back from the playground with kelly, there were– all the paints were gone. I guess maybe one of the housekeepers threw it away by accident.

Eric: Yeah. Maybe that’s what happened here. Yeah, that’s like– stuff like that happens from time to time. Don’t worry about it.

Thomas: You’d be surprised how often.

Taylor: Yeah, but you know what? Today, I am gonna go and get you all new supplies, smocks and paints and– and the works, you know?

Douglas: Yes.

Taylor: Paint can get really messy when you’re on a mission.

Eric: You know, you’re really a wonderful artist. You really are. You are, uh, definitely a forrester.

Douglas: Well, thank you for letting me stay here the last night, great-granddad.

Eric: You don’t have to thank me. You can stay here anytime you want. This is your home too.

Douglas: I’m having so much fun here and the best time with dad.

Li: Oh.

Finn: What? What, do I have sauce on my shirt?

Li: Well, maybe a little.

Finn: Where? I don’t have any– are you serious? Are you serious? I don’t have.

Li: Where do you think you get your sense of humor? It’s just to see you healthy and happy is all I hope for. It’s a miracle you’re alive.

Finn: I guess that makes you a miracle worker.

Sheila: Finn is still my whole life. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. I can’t go back to prison. I’ve already missed too much of his life.

Deacon: What are you talking about?

Sheila: Oh, my god. Well, to– to think that I could see him strong and healthy again.

Deacon: Are you– are you insane? Don’t even answer that. If finn even gets a glimpse of you, that whole bear mauling death hoax thing, the one that necessitated you cutting off one of your little piglets. Guess what? That gets torn to shreds.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you– I have a disguise. Do you remember that?

Deacon: Okay. Don’t get cocky, all right? I was drunk and hope said that you looked familiar when she came in here. Great.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: My phone’s dead and I need it for work. Look, just lie low. Don’t do anything that’s gonna risk getting us thrown back in prison.

Liam: By the way, I hope you don’t feel like we’re ganging up on you.

Hope: No, I don’T. I know you’re worried and I am too. It’s just–

Brooke: Douglas has been with thomas for days. It is time for him to come home.

Hope: And I agree. I actually talked to thomas yesterday and expressed my concerns.

Brooke: And?

Hope: He asked me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Brooke: Honey, haven’t you been doing that for years? After everything he’s put you through.

Hope: Thomas has changed though.

Brooke: Okay. Maybe he’s trying to change, but definitely not enough to have that little boy alone.

Hope: Thomas actually suggested that I go to eric’s and see just how great a time that douglas has with him there.

Eric: You know, douglas, as long as it’s okay with your father and mother, you can stay here as long as you want. And I promise there’ll always be a lot of art supplies. Lots of paint, lots of brushes.

Douglas: Can we paint together?

Eric: Absolutely. As long as you remember one thing, you have to remember who taught your father and your grandfather everything they know.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Douglas: Okay. Can we do it now?

Thomas: Wait. Oh, hold on. You got reading to finish. Come on. Let’s get to it.

Douglas: Okay. But after?

Eric: Absolutely. That’s a great kid.

Thomas: Yeah, he is.

Eric: He reminds me of you when you were his age. Curious and eager.

Taylor: Yeah. It’s no wonder you guys get along so well.

Thomas: We’ve lost so much time together and it– it’s great having this time, but you know, I don’t– I don’t wanna be apart from my son another day.

Li: You know, it’s understandable that sheila’s death is complicated for you, sweetheart. She was a monster, but she was also your birth mother.

Finn: I mean, I’d always hoped to find out where I came from. I just never thought in a million years it would be someone like her. You know, she showed up on my wedding day. That’s the best day of my life. And it’s just been one nightmare after another.

Li: It’s finally over.

Finn: It is. But do I feel conflicted? I wish things were different. I wish she was different. I’d hope to find some good in her somewhere. I mean, that’s– that’s why I held on for so long. But there wasn’t, it was just darkness. And she tried to kill steffy. She shot me. She almost killed you.

Li: Thank god the nightmare is finally over. Sheila is dead, and we’re finally free.

Sheila: Deacon, I assure you that I’m being very careful. I didn’t go through the trouble of cutting off my own toe to do something stupid that was gonna put me back in prison.

Deacon: Yeah. Which is exactly what we’ll be if you get caught.

Sheila: My disguise works.

Deacon: You got lucky.

Sheila: No, you got lucky. You fell for it. You fell for me. Hope fell for it too.

Deacon: Hope said you look familiar. She was trying to figure out where she knew you from.

Sheila: She didn’t recognize me. Hope looked me dead in the eyes and she didn’t have a clue who I was.

Brooke: So, thomas wants you to go over to eric’s so that he can prove to you that douglas should be living with him. Hope, you can’t let that happen.

Hope: I know. Mom, I know. This is douglas’s home. This is where he belongs. He has a little sister who’s missing him, but I also don’t wanna start some nasty custody battle.

Liam: That you’ll win.

Hope: Well, we don’t know that, and either way, it will be very difficult for douglas. I just want him happy and healthy.

Brooke: Honey, that’s what we all want. And you and liam, you’ve created this wonderful environment here where he has flourished. Thomas wanting douglas to be with him is more about thomas than douglas.

Hope: And that is why I’m taking him up on his offer.

Liam: Wait, you’re going over to eric’s?

Hope: To pay them a surprise visit.

Thomas: You know, when I came back to L.A., I– I– I did a lot of things I’m not proud of. Douglas needed a stable home and hope and liam provided him that.

Eric: They did a great job with douglas.

Thomas: I wasn’t fit to raise him on my own.

Taylor: Yeah. But look at you now. You– you got help and you did a lot of hard work, so.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s ’cause I love douglas more than anything in the world. I wanna be the kind of father he can be proud of. The kind of father he deserves, you know? And– and I think I am now. Right? If I didn’t think I was ready, then I wouldn’t be doing this. I wouldn’t be pushing for this, but I am. He’s lived with– with hope for so long and– and it’s time for him to live with me.

Eric: Well, I hate to say this, but you could be in for a pretty long, difficult custody battle.

Thomas: Yeah. I hope it doesn’t come to that. I believe I can convince hope that this is where douglas belongs.

Without the right start

to your day…

Li: Thank you. I really enjoy our get-togethers. I just– just wish we didn’t spend the whole time talking about sheila.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. But you know, I think it’s good to get it all out. You know, it’s healthy. It’s– she’s been such a weight on all of our lives.

Li: I hate that you went through all of this.

Finn: Yeah, me too. But I’ve been talking with taylor and now she says it’s important to try and find the silver lining when one reflects on traumatic events.

Li: Silver lining?

Finn: Yeah. Like how the good in us push through. You know, even when it was dark. I took a bullet for my wife. I saved steffy’s life and now we’re back together. And after she thought she lost me forever, that– that deepened our love beyond words. Not so different than a mother doing everything she could to save her son’s life, risking her own life to do so. I can’t describe to you how much I love you.

Li: I love you too.

Finn: But, now we’re free. And we never have to worry about sheila again.

Deacon: Okay. I’m gonna head down to work. Sheila, please. Pretty please. Just– just stay here. Don’t do anything that’s gonna wind up putting us back behind bars.

Sheila: I glad your confidence in me is just exhilarating.

Deacon: You know, you’ve done some terrible things in your life, but I have never doubted how much you love finn. I know that you wanna have–

Sheila: No, I– I need.

Deacon: You need to see him again, but you can’T. It’s too dangerous. Be good

Sheila: Deacon. Deacon.

Brooke: So, how are you handling all of this?

Liam: Uh, you know, it’s fine. I’m fine. I– you know, I– I don’t wanna push too hard, but I also trust hope implicitly whatever she ends up deciding.

Brooke: But?

Liam: But, I don’t trust thomas and I never have and I never will. And we’re talking about douglas’s health and well-being here, so.

Brooke: Yeah, I agree.

Liam: Here’s– here’s the thing. Hope has this amazing ability as you know, to forgive, right? She can look at anyone and see the good in them. And I just– I just– I don’t want thomas taking advantage of that and convincing her to let him keep douglas full-time.

Brooke: Okay. So we can’t let that happen. I fear for that boy if he’s taken from the home that you and hope have created.

Thomas: I wanna thank you for always being there for me. It’s hard. Sometimes, some people only see you at your worst.

Taylor: Yeah. But there are only a few of those. Okay? And I will always support you because I’m your mom. And I believe with all my heart that you can provide a loving home for your son. And that’s what he is. He’s your son.

Thomas: Hope.

Hope: Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Taylor: Hi, hope. I will give you guys some time.

Thomas: Okay. Come on in.

Hope: So I, um, wanted to take you up on your offer. I stopped by so I could see what it’s like here for douglas.

Thomas: Wow. I– thank you so much. I know this isn’t exactly easy for you. The fact that you’re trying it– it means so much to me. Thanks for giving me a chance. For giving douglas and me a chance. I’m steve.

Liam: You know what’s funny is that after all this time, I still just– I hate thomas and hope alone together. I hate it. And I know– I mean, I gue– I know that the guy’s been working on himself and to some degree, he’s changed.

Brooke: Deep down though, you still feel that he’s in love with her, still obsessed with her. It would be foolish not to keep her guard up.

Liam: Yes. But in this one instance, I am totally supportive of hope going over there because I want her to see with her own eyes what the deal is with thomas and douglas.

Hope: So, what have you two been up to?

Thomas: We’ve been having so much fun. We’ve been reading, uh, hiking, swimming. I mean, douglas is just having a great time.

Douglas: Dad, dad, dad, dad.

Thomas: What?

Douglas: You’re never gonna believe this, but did you know that spiders aren’t insects? They’re animals.

Thomas: What?

Douglas: Oh, mom!

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: What are you doing here?

Hope: Oh, I just– I miss you.

Douglas: I miss you too. Same for liam and beth, but I’m having so much fun here. Thank you for letting me stay here.

[Hope chuckles]

Hope: Oh.

[Thomas chuckles]

Deacon: Excuse me, sir. If you’re done with that, I’ll be happy to–

Finn: Deacon. Hey, man. Come here. I, um, you know what? I– I still haven’t thanked you.

Deacon: No, no, come on. It’s okay.

Finn: It is not okay. I mean, I– you saved my life. I’ve been meaning to reach out and I just have–

Deacon: Listen, coming back from the dead, it’s busy work.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. But you saved my entire world and if you hadn’t come, steffy and I, we would’ve–

Deacon: I was at the right place at the right time. You are the walking miracle.

Finn: No. Well, it’s a miracle that wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t called 9-1-1.

Deacon: I’m just glad you’re okay. How– how you feeling?

Finn: I’m good. I’m good. I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Deacon: It’s gotta be incredible to be back with your wife and your kids and I hear your mom’s doing okay too.

Finn: Yeah, she is. Um, my mother’s a strong woman.

Deacon: I– I’m just so sorry you guys had to go through this. I can’t even believe it.

Finn: It has been easier to do now that sheila no longer a threat. I assume you heard through hope that sheila, she– she died?

Deacon: Yeah.

Finn: Something wrong?

Brooke: So, are you proud of yourself?

Taylor: I’m sorry. What?

Brooke: Look! Look at what you’ve done.

Taylor: Oh. Really? I– I did this? I’m the bad guy. Of course, I am. That’s right. I did all of this, right?

Brooke: Yes, you started it and you laughed at me.

Hope: It is always logan versus forrester with you.

Steffy: Because that’s how it always ends up.

Hope: But it doesn’t have to.

Steffy: Talk to your mom. She’s the one who started the feud.

Hope: Okay. All right. You know, if you wanna keep living in the past, then fine, that’s your call. But, I’m not going to sit by and let douglas become a victim of this endless feud between our families.

Bill: Did I miss something or is thomas demanding full time custody of douglas coming out of nowhere?

Liam: No, you’re right. It’s surprising. Nobody expected it, especially not hope.

Bill: Well, that can’t happen under any circumstances. Thomas raising douglas on his own should not be a thought in anyone’s head, ever.

Bill: Douglas absolutely cannot live with thomas. The guy has proven over and over again that he’s unstable. He can’t take that little boy out of the only home he’s known and throw him into– into crazy town at worst, and unpredictability at best.

Liam: I mean, no argument here. Sure, thomas has been working on himself. He hasn’t had an incident in a matter of months. Does that magically mean he should be the primary caregiver in douglas’ life?

Bill: Hell, no.

Liam: Exactly. And hope feels the same way.

Hope: Douglas loves his life with us. He loves being beth’s older brother. There is no reason to uproot him.

Steffy: You’re wrong. There’s a very big reason. Thomas is douglas’ blood. He deserves a more prominent role in his life.

Hope: And I have never done anything to deprive douglas of the time that he wants to spend with his father. But I think you’re forgetting one very important fact, and that is that I am douglas’ mother. I adopted him. Thomas and I share custody. Douglas is my son, too.

Thomas: What did i just walk in on?

Taylor: Okay, all of this.

Brooke: Ugh.

Taylor: All of this because– because I laughed at you? Okay.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Brooke: All right, you know what, taylor?

Taylor: What?

Brooke: I think I missed a spot.

Taylor: Brooke, please don’t do it again. Stop.

Brooke: No, no, no. Hang on.

Taylor: Brooke, seriously, no!

Brooke: Ooh! Oh-ho-ho, right there.

Taylor: Wow, wow. It’s really cold.

Brooke: Wait, let me look.

Taylor: You know what? It’s really cold in here, brooke. You look like you could use another coat.

[ Brooke screaming ]

Brooke: Okay, that’s it. That is it.

Taylor: Uh, hi.

Ridge: Really? Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Liam: Imagine how devastated hope would be if thomas actually succeeds in taking douglas away from her. But, like, has he– has he thought about that? Hope stepped in to take care of douglas when thomas couldn’T. He actually asked her to do that, originally. So, what? Now, he just arbitrarily changes his mind and goes, “nah, never mind?”

Bill: It’s outrageous.

Liam: And it’s not– it’s not even like he– he doesn’t get to spend time with douglas. The dude has complete access. So, why would he rip hope’s heart out? Because let’s be clear, that’s what he would be doing by taking douglas away from her. Like, the kid belongs in the home he knows.

Bill: Yeah, I completely agree. And listen, I can say there’s some– some small part of me because the circumstances are so different, but some small part of me that understands thomas wanting to be with his kid. I mean, I missed out on so much time with you and wyatt growing up, but I didn’t even know you existed.

Liam: It’s not the same. It’s not the same, though. I mean, like you said, you didn’t know we existed. Wyatt and I had zero relationship with you until we were full-grown adults. I mean, thomas gets to see douglas all the time. Like, why? Why would you chnge the arrangement? Unless, he’s just trying to get hope’s attention, which is exactly the reason that he’s done all the other crazy, scandalous crap he’s done.

Bill: I wouldn’t put it past him.

Liam: Well, if that’s true, then, um, he’s not gonna like the attention he gets because hope is not just going to hand douglas over to him.

Bill: Sounds like we’re headed for a full blown custody battle. You ready for that?

Hope: Thomas. Uh, where’s douglas?

Thomas: Oh, actually, we went out to grab some art supplies and ran into amelia, with kelly, and they went out to lunch. And, um, I don’t think I need to ask what you two are talking about.

Steffy: I was just explaining to hope that I’m 100 percent behind you in playing a bigger role in douglas’ life.

Hope: And I was just explaining that there’s nothing wrong with it, but that doesn’t mean that we have to uproot him from everything he knows.

Hope: Douglas has been with you for a long time now, and you have done a great job. Douglas feels safe, and loved, and we’re all grateful for that. But, it’s time for him to come home.

Hope: He is home. With us.

Steffy: With his father.

Thomas: Okay, um… steffy, I appreciate what you’re saying, but I think I’d like to talk to hope alone.

Steffy: Okay. Hope, this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The only thing that really changes is douglas’ address.

Thomas: [Whispers] Steffy.

Steffy: I’m going.

Hope: Okay, can I be honest?

Thomas: Please do.

Hope: Now, I am starting to worry about your intentions when it comes to our son.

Ridge: What the hell is this?

Taylor: Okay, okay. So, I was trying to leave, and she wouldn’t let me. And I turned around, and I– and I– and I got paint on her–

Brooke: You know what?

Taylor: As I–

Brooke: If she didn’t talk like this, using her arms, her whole body, then it wouldn’t have splattered all over the place.

Taylor: Okay, okay, okay. You know what? That’s fair. I do get animated when I talk, we know that.

Brooke: You know what? I think you did it on purpose.

Taylor: Well, look, brooke, I wish I would have done it on purpose at this point–

Brooke: I wish I did it on purpose, actually.

Ridge: Ladies. Ladies!

[ Brooke sighing ]

Ridge: Please continue.

Taylor: Thank you. So, I was trying to leave, and, um, I got the paint on her, and then she just freaked out and started–

Ridge: So, you spilled some of douglas’ paint, and?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: How did this happen?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: I’m gonna tell you how this happened. She’s a klutz, okay? And she laughed at me. She laughed at me.

Taylor: Yeah. Ooh, I laughed at brooke, I don’t know. Ridge, you should’ve seen her face when I got the paint on her. It was like, “oh!” It was, it was funny. I laughed. Yes, okay, fine.

Ridge: This is unbelievable! What if douglas walked in right now? How would you explain this to a little boy? How would you do that? All I wanted for you– was for you not to fight over a little boy. That’s all.

Brooke: I apologize.

Taylor: No, I… I’m sorry, too. Okay? I am. None of this should have happened, and…

[ Taylor sighing ] Ridge, if we’re being honest, this whole fight wasn’t even about douglas. It was about you. Always is. Hi, I’m karen.

Liam: I mean, an honest to goodness custody battle over douglas, with courts, and lawyers, and judges, it’s just… it’s just not something anybody wants.

Bill: I’ve been there. Painful as hell for everyone involved.

Liam: Yeah, especially for the kid being fought over. Which is– you know, that’s why I think we’re gonna make every effort to resolve this amongst ourselves.

Bill: What are the chances?

Liam: Yeah, it’s hard to say. Thomas is adamant about taking douglas, and hope is adamant about keeping him, so.

Bill: It doesn’t sound like a lot of wiggle room.

Liam: But we keep hoping, you know.

Bill: I hear you.

Liam: Actually, you know, the truth is, nobody has even said the word “court.” It’s just… like, you know, that’s what we’re all thinking, so.

Bill: Well, thomas does have a soft spot for hope. Maybe she can use that to her advantage.

Liam: Yeah, I– I know.

Bill: I know. The guy’s a psycho. You’re gonna wake dr. Jekyll and have him turn into mr. Hyde. Having said that, all the wacky things that thomas has done in the past would work in your favor if you do go to court.

Liam: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, if– if it ever did come to that, using thomas’ past actions against him would make a very strong case for hope.

Bill: ‘Atta boy. Now you’re thinking like your old man.

Hope: I am not saying that it’s intentional, or that you’re even aware of it, but it’s starting to feel like you’re putting your wants ahead of douglas’ needs.

Thomas: I respect that you feel that way. But, I actually think it’s the opposite. I think douglas needs to be with his father.

Hope: You know, you all keep throwing that word at me, as if I’m not his mother. And you know whose idea that was, right? In the first place? It was yours. So, douglas is my son, too. And if I may say, I think I’m doing a pretty damn good job at raising him because he’s happy. He’s well-adjusted, and he’s a great boy. And he loves living with liam, beth and me, and there is no reason to pull him out of that when you can still see him whenever you want.

Thomas: You’re right. I made you douglas’ mother. And you have been incredible. He is so lucky to have you.

Hope: And he’s lucky to have you too, thomas. You know me. I would never want to interfere in your relationship with our son. As long as you are in a good, happy, healthy place, which I believe you are.

Thomas: But, you just don’t think I should be living with douglas. Do me a favor, hope. Give me a chance. Just come on over. And see how happy douglas is over at granddad’s house.

Ridge: You guys were having a paint fight over me?

Taylor: Yeah, well, it started because brooke was telling me that– that thomas wasn’t fit to be a father to douglas.

Brooke: I have legitimate concerns. It wasn’t too long ago when thomas was extremely unstable.

Ridge: That wasn’t long ago, and he’s much better now. You know that.

Taylor: Yes. And we went back and forth on that for a while, and then, um, I decided to leave when she started telling me that I was using the situation between thomas and douglas, to– wait for it– pit the two of you against each other.

Ridge: The two of us?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Uh, brooke seems to think that I’m using our grandson to try to come after you.

Ridge: No, you didn’t, you didn’t say that, right?

Brooke: Not in those exact words, ridge, but think about it. Come on. Thomas was fine with the custody arrangement. And then taylor comes back in town, and all of a sudden, thomas wants douglas full time. Out of nowhere!

Taylor: It’s not out of nowhere, brooke.

Brooke: You know what?

Taylor: Seriously, this is–

Brooke: I think you and steffy have been blabbing in his ear.

Taylor: Please.

Brooke: A custody battle between hope and thomas would definitely put you and me in different camps. And that’s what she wants. Admit it.

Taylor: No, I’m not going to admit it. Guess what, brooke? This has nothing to do with you. I know that is so hard for your little brain to comprehend that something isn’t about you. But, it’s not. This is about thomas having a happy life with his son.

Ridge: So you guys had a– a reasonable conversation, and then all of a sudden the paint started flying, is that correct?

Taylor: That’s exactly what happened.

Ridge: This is crazy, look at you guys! Covered in this stuff. You should see yourselves!

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Hope: I know how much you love douglas. And of course, you wanna spend as much time with him as possible. I mean, who wouldn’t? And I support that. But, he doesn’t have to leave our family, our home, in order for you to do that.

Thomas: This is really hard. I– I– seeing you worried or afraid, that’s the last thing I want.

Hope: Well, you know me well. Except, it’s not for me. It’s for douglas. Because he loves us, and he loves being a big brother to beth. And to take him out of that life that he’s known for so long.

Thomas: It’s gonna be fine, hope. Douglas is having so much fun over at granddad’s house. He’s getting to hang out with his family. He’s learning about his birthright. This isn’t about taking douglas away from you. I– I don’t know if I can ever put into words just how grateful I am for you. You gave douglas unconditional love when he needed it. You gave him a blanket of security when he longed for it. And I’ll be the first to admit, I was– I wasn’t able to give that to him. There was a time. But things have changed. I’m a better person now, and I only want what’s best for douglas. He is my number one priority. With–

[ Sighing ] I need to be with my son, hope, and he needs to be with me. And I think deep down, you know that. So do me this favor. Come over to granddad’s, and you’ll see that there’s nothing to be afraid of. And that that place is a great place for him.

Ridge: Have a good look. Take it all in.

Brooke: But, I don’t want to.

Ridge: Unbelievable.

Brooke: Oh, dear.

Taylor: Oh, no.

Brooke: Okay. You know, I think you’re gonna thank me one day.

Taylor: What? For all the laughter I’ve had at your expense?

Brooke: No, for finding the color that suits your personality. Green, with envy.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Like, that I’m envious of you? Ridge, please make her stop. What is the color of delusional? Is it–

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. No more of that. I just bought this suit, bought this shirt, I like the way it looks. No more paint fights. No more fighting at all. We gotta learn to be a blended family. We gotta learn to do what is right for douglas. Can we agree on that, please?

Brooke: Of course.

Taylor: Not a chance. I’m kidding. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, we all want what is best for douglas. And I really do believe that he is going to end up exactly where he belongs.

Brooke: Yeah. At home. With hope, and liam and beth.

Ridge: Oh. We are really making progress here. Let’s do something that we can all agree on. You guys hit the showers, you know where they are.

Taylor: I think that’s a good idea.

Ridge: This is silly.

Taylor: I know, I know.

Brooke: A shower sounds like a good idea. But, I have an even better idea.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: I shower with you.

[ Brooke laughing ]

[ Ridge laughing ] You care to join me? Hm?

Ridge: Hm.

Brooke: Oh. Oops.

[ Ridge sighing ]

[ Brooke laughing ]

Ridge: That’s funny.

Brooke: Oh. Look… ridge. I know you’re feeling a little caught between us in this situation with douglas, but just know one thing. That I love you, and you love me. And there’s nothing, or no one that will ever come between us. Right?

Ridge: Mm-hm.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: How was the water?

Finn: Wet.

Steffy: Oh. [Giggles]

[ Finn laughs ]

Steffy: Why do I set you up every time?

Finn: Because you enjoy my sense of humor. It’s probably your favorite thing about me.

Steffy: That is true. But my absolute favorite thing is that you’re here. And you’re alive. And you’re still with me.

Finn: Yes, I… agree. That is something I really like about myself, too.

Steffy: Huh.

Finn: But, to answer your question, the water, it was– it was great. Almost makes me feel like I’m back to where I was. Almost.

Steffy: Yeah. I feel like you’re getting back to your normal self. You’re surfing again. Going back to work. It’s like you’re getting your life back.

Finn: Yeah, but the most important part of my life? The epicenter of my world? Is you. Our kids. Our beautiful family.

Hope: I am trying really hard not to overreact.

Brooke: Oh, honey, why didn’t you just go over there and pick him up yourself?

Hope: Oh, because I don’t want to cause a scene, especially in front of douglas. And besides, I… I talked to him on the phone. I heard how excited he is, mom. And it’s not like I don’t want him to have sleepovers with his dad, I do.

Brooke: Okay. You know what thomas wants. He wants douglas to live with him full time. And that’s what taylor wants, too. She wants that little boy to be taken away from you. We can’t allow that to happen.

Thomas: We may have got a little overzealous with the paint here.

Eric: Oh, absolutely not. I don’t– I don’t think that’s possible. This is art.

Douglas: This one’s almost done. Just needs a little more blue.

Eric: Yeah, I think it’s possible we may have another artist in the family.

Thomas: Oh, wouldn’t that be something?

Eric: It would.

Taylor: Knock, knock.

Thomas: Hey.

Eric: Hey.

Taylor: Hi, uh-oh.

Thomas: Whoa, douglas.

Taylor: Whoa, whoa, what?

Eric: Your hands, you got you got a painter…

Thomas: Everywhere.

Taylor: Oh, okay well, I still– I still need a hug, but I’ll settle for a kiss. Muah!

[ Taylor laughing ] What are you doing, bear? What is all this?

Steffy: Feeling you like this again. Your lips. Your arms. My body against yours. I can’t believe you’re here. Ha, I know I keep saying it.

Steffy: I feel like I just have to keep saying it out loud.

Finn: What do you know? I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. Except work because, you know, my shift starts later.

Steffy: Yeah, I get that. I’m actually looking forward to getting to work. I can’t wait to see how everything’s going with thomas.

Finn: What? Douglas, you mean?

Steffy: Yeah, he stayed with him at granddad’S.

Finn: What’s hope feeling about all this?

Steffy: Thomas and douglas have been apart for way too long. The only thing that hope should be feeling is gratitude. I mean, if she really cares about douglas, she’ll understand it’s time for him to be with thomas.

Taylor: I am so impressed.

Douglas: Thank you.

Taylor: Seriously, this is so good.

Douglas: Thank you.

Taylor: You’re really good at this. I– I have my eye on this one, right there. Yeah, can I? Can I have that one from my office?

Douglas: Oh, I’m sorry. I was thinking of giving this one to mom because she likes daffodils so much, but–

Taylor: That makes sense.

Douglas: I can make the next one for you, whatever you want.

Thomas: Speaking of mom, we should probably give her a call. I’m sure she’s wondering about you.

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: You know what? Uhm, I’m sorry about the mess. We’ll get it all cleaned up for you.

Eric: Wait, mess?

Thomas: Yeah.

Eric: This is not a mess. This is art in the making. All right. Now, leave it as it is. Don’t clean this up at all. I want to join him when I get back.

Thomas: Okay.

Douglas: Hi, mom.

Hope: Hi, douglas. How are you?

Douglas: Great.

Hope: Yeah? You still having fun?

Douglas: So much fun. We’re swimming a lot, riding bikes. Oh, and um, dad bought some paints, um, I’m making all sorts of pictures. One is for you.

Hope: Oh, sweetie, I can’t wait to see that. Um, actually, is your dad available? Because I would love to talk to him.

Douglas: Oh, sure. Yeah. Um, love you, mom. Um, mom wants to talk to you.

Thomas: Oh. Hi, hope.

Hope: Hi, thomas. Um, douglas seems like he’s having fun.

Thomas: Oh, tons of fun.

Hope: I’m so happy

to hear that. But I– I do think it is time to bring him home.

Thomas: Well, I mean, th– this is the forrester home. So, this is his home. It’s where his father lives.

Hope: Okay, but you’ve already had him longer than we originally agreed to.

Taylor: There, yeah, can I…

Thomas: Look, I realize that you miss him, but we need this time together, okay? So… we’ll be in touch soon.

Hope: Okay, but tho–

[ Call ending ] Wait, thomas?

Brooke: What is it? When is douglas coming home?

Hope: I, um… I don’t know. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Brooke: So, thomas wouldn’t say when he’s going to bring douglas back?

Hope: No, just that he’d be in touch.

Brooke: What? Oh, god! This is– this is insane. This is no way to co-parent. Douglas is gonna be so confused. I mean, that just proves that thomas doesn’t have douglas’s best interests at heart.

Hope: Okay, well, then what am I supposed to do? Go to court? I don’t want to put him through that.

Brooke: No, hopefully it won’t come to that.

Hope: What are you doing?

Brooke: Douglas belongs here with you and beth. I’m gonna go over there and find out what the hell is going on.

Hope: Mom!

Douglas: Wait, a picture of outer space like with all the planets and everything.

Taylor: Yes. And like a spaceships and– and aliens, maybe. What do you think?

Douglas: Totally. Oh, but I’m out of black. Dad, please, can we get some more? The best idea, but I need more black paint.

Taylor: What about glitter?

Douglas: Oh, and glitter.

Taylor: Glitter!

Thomas: Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Let’s– let’s run down to the store and get some.

Taylor: Oh, my god. This

Thomas: It’s going to be awesome.

[ Phone pinging ]

Taylor: It’s gonna be… oh, oh, hold on.

Thomas: Everything okay?

Taylor: Yeah, it’s just. It’s a conference call that I was supposed to join. Thank god I setup a reminder. You know what? I can’T. I don’t have time to run back to the office. Can I stay?

Thomas: Yeah, stay, stay. Make yourself at home.

Taylor: Thank you. Okay.

Thomas: All right. Let’s get out of grandma’s way. And yeah.

Douglas: Yeah, let’s do it.

Taylor: All right. I’ll see you guys when you get back.

Thomas: Okay, so if you do some glitter. We should probably set up ground rules. Because that stuff can get everywhere.

Taylor: Thomas.

Thomas: Yeah?

Taylor: I just wanted to tell you how happy I am. I– I have wanted this for you for such a long time, and you deserve it. It’s finally happening.

Steffy: It’s crazy to think how things have turned around for our family. My god. When I saw you in monaco. It’s like our lives changed forever.

Finn: It’s me.

I found you.

Steffy, it’s me.

It’s really me.

Steffy: Oh, my god!

Finn: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Bell tolling ]

Finn: That’s a day neither one of us will ever forget.

Steffy: Never.

Taylor: Yeah. We’ll talk soon. All right, bye.

Brooke: [Laughing] Oh. Oh, taylor. Of course. I should have known the ringleader would be here.

Taylor: The ringleader?

Brooke: Behind this ridiculous plan to take douglas away from hope. I’ve been telling everyone…

Taylor: So, I’m the evil ringleader.

[Chuckles] Okay. Well, everyone’s the villain in someone’s story, huh brooke? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go.

Brooke: Where’s douglas?

Taylor: Douglas is with his father.

Brooke: Where? Is he bringing him home?

Taylor: Yes. Yes, he’s bringing him home, as soon as they finish getting art supplies, he’ll be coming home through that door.

Brooke: No. Home to hope. When is that happening?

Taylor: That’s not my call. That would be between thomas and hope. I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

Brooke: Okay. Hope was very clear that thomas could only have douglas for one night only. Now, she’s been very generous, letting him keep him longer.

Taylor: Okay, I– I do. I– I see the problem. You think that hope can dictate when my son is allowed to see his son? Okay.

Brooke: Oh, wow. Okay.

Taylor: Yeah. I feel the same way. Yeah. Um, my grandson–

Brooke: No, he’s my grandson, too. I thought you understood the other day when I told you I am not letting thomas take douglas away from his home and his family.

Taylor: I understood where you were coming from. But, I don’t agree. Douglas is a forrester. This is a forrester home. So, when douglas is with thomas. His father, his only remaining biological parent? That’s not taking him away, brooke. That’s bringing him home, to his family.

Steffy: Let’s push it to three. I have a two o’clock finance meeting and that usually runs long.

Jimmy: Great, I’ll let them know.

Steffy: Hey, thank you.

Hope: Oh, hi jimmy.

Jimmy: Hi, hope.

Hope: Um, hi steffy, is ridge in?

Steffy: My father is in a meeting downtown. Is this something I can help you with?

Hope: Well, I…

Steffy: Is it about hope for the future? The deadline?

Hope: It’s not about business.

Steffy: Oh. So, this must be about douglas.

Hope: I, um… I wanted to talk to ridge about the situation, yes.

Steffy: Thomas spending time with his son isn’t a situation, it’s life. It’s a normal father-son relationship.

Hope: And I want that for him. Very much. I– I want douglas to have a close relationship with his father.

Steffy: Then, I apologize if I misunderstood your tone.

Hope: The situation is thomas wanting to change where douglas calls home.

Steffy: He’s his father. He has every right to want douglas at his home.

Hope: And I’m his mother. Douglas will always know about caroline and carry those memories with him. But, she’s gone now. I adopted douglas. Thomas and I share custody.

Steffy: How much sharing has been going on? Douglas has been living with you on your mother’s property for a very long time now. I think that’s finally about to change.

Zyrteeeec…

Hope: Why are you acting like there’s some kind of wrong that needs to be righted here?

Steffy: Thomas not having access to his son is wrong.

Hope: And who’s saying that he doesn’t have access? Thomas knows that I fully support him spending as much time with douglas as he wants.

Steffy: Only if it’s on your terms. Look, I appreciate you. You’ve done a great job caring for douglas. But I do feel like–

Hope: Not just caring for douglas like I’m some kind of nanny. I’ve been raising him. And do you need to be reminded why? Reminded of all the things that thomas was doing?

Steffy: Thomas has changed.

Hope: I want to believe that. I do. I’ve– I’ve been trusting him. We’ve been doing a good job co-parenting together. But the way he’s been acting lately?

Steffy: Like an involved father?

Hope: Like he’s not respecting the agreement that we put into place.

Steffy: Douglas is a forrester. Not a logan. So, when it comes to where he calls home, I think it’s pretty clear.

Hope: Okay. Why do you do that? Why do you always have to make everything forrester versus logan?

Steffy: Do you really have to ask?

Hope: Yes, actually. I would love to know why.

Steffy: Because of your mom. She is the master of disaster. I mean, c’mon. If you put yourself in my shoes. You had a woman constantly throwing herself at your father? Who married every single man in your family? I think you’d have a little animosity, too. So, you’re damn right, it’s forresters versus logans. Always will be.

Taylor: Thomas is ready to play a bigger role in douglas’ life.

Brooke: I don’t care if he thinks he’s ready. It wasn’t too long ago when he was highly unstable.

Taylor: Please don’t do that, brooke. Please, he’s worked so hard. Don’t talk about my son like that.

Brooke: Don’t what? Don’t say the truth? Because it is the truth. You know what he was going through. You know better than anybody. You were his psychiatrist back then.

Taylor: Oh, my god. You are exhausting, brooke. Thomas was going through a crisis. And he got through it. He should not be punished for the rest of his life. And, or made to feel like– like he can’t take care of his own son.

Brooke: And my daughter should be made to feel that way?

Taylor: No.

Brooke: She’s the one parent who didn’t use him. Didn’t manipulate him. Didn’t treat him badly. And now you want me to have her just send douglas off with thomas? So, thomas can have him 24/7. No, no. That’s just not going to happen. And you, as the other grandmother. I would think you’d be happy.

Taylor: Huh.

Brooke: But you’re not.

Taylor: What?

Brooke: And I think I know why. Because there’s a lot more at play here, isn’t there?

Taylor: Oh. Okay.

Brooke: There is.

Taylor: Okay. Here comes the logan logic, right? Give it to me, brooke.

Brooke: It is so, so, obvious.

Taylor: What is it? Tell me!

Brooke: You are trying to push thomas to take douglas so that you can create some kind of conflict between ridge and me.

Taylor: Stop, stop, stop. I would never use douglas to try to manipulate a situation with ridge.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Taylor: Okay? All right. Like you did. All right, this may come as a shock to you, brooke. But this– this whole thing with thomas and douglas is– is not about you.

Brooke: Taylor, stop it. Okay?

Taylor: I know, it’s not about you. This is about douglas being with his father.

Brooke: God. You are so transparent.

Taylor: Really? Okay. All right. You know what? Douglas belongs here, okay? And I– I’m not going to let you or hope try to come between my son and– and this happy life he’s trying to create with his child.

Brooke: And I’m not going to let you use that sweet, little, innocent boy so that you can make a play for ridge.

Taylor: Stop it, brooke. I’ve had it.

Brooke: No. I really need to talk to you.

Taylor: Don’t! Brooke. Seriously, why do you always do this? You always–

[ Brooke gasping ]

Taylor: I’m s– your face. I’m just, seriously. Oh, my god. Oh. Okay, um. Listen, I am– oh, please– all right. Well, you feel better? Is that good?

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Awesome. All right, I’M…

[ Brooke laughing ]

Taylor: Go ahead, it’s fine. I’m good. I’m– I’m not gonna come back?

Brooke: No, I don’t think you–

Taylor: Oh! Douglas. Douglas.

[ Brooke screaming ]

Taylor: Oh, my god. That felt good.

Brooke: Yeah, you didn’t just do that. Did you?

Taylor: I so did. Yeah, I did. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah. Look at you. Huh, nice.

Brooke: Just think I’ll just grab this little thing and…

Taylor: C’mon, go ahead, brooke.

Brooke: Yeah, you want it?

Taylor: Get me all over.

Brooke: You want it?

Taylor: Get me all over my shirt. Yeah, there you go. Oh–

[ Brooke laughing ]

Taylor: All right, all right.

Brooke: Okay, wait. I’m gonna put that down.

Taylor: It’s great. Um. Really awesome, I’m sure.

Brooke: Ooh.

Taylor: That is…

Brooke: You okay?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We’re good. We’re done doing that.

Taylor: Mm-hmm

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Really?

Taylor: Right there. You know what? Want some more? You need more color? Yeah, like that. Just like that.

Brooke: No, no. You’re not–

[ Brooke squealing ] Stop it.

Taylor: No, no, you stop it.

[Laughing]

Brooke: That’s enough!

Taylor: Oh, is it enough? Is it enough? Is it enough? Is it–

Brooke: Crazy. Oh my gosh.

Taylor: Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Brooke: Okay.

[Indistinct]

Taylor: Okay.

[Laughing] Oh, my god. I was not. I was not expecting this.

Brooke: Me neither.

Taylor: Nope.

Brooke: Just like I wasn’t expecting you trying to steal my husband away, once again. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Hope: Are you sure we don’t know each other?

Deacon: I– I don’t think you guys would have ever met–

Hope: We– we haven’t met?

Deacon: You know, it’s been a hell of a day, hope. I mean, it’s getting late. And I hate to break this up but lina’s gotta get going.

Hope: Oh, I am sorry. That’s too bad. I’m sure if we kept talking, I could figure out why you look so familiar.

Liam: Mm.

Brooke: Is everything all right with douglas?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, I kind of thought he was going to reconsider staying another night at thomas’ but he just wanted to tell me a joke eric taught him. Sounds like he’s having fun.

Ridge: Of course he’s having fun. He’s with his dad.

Liam: Should I just wait for hope down at the cabin?

Brooke: I’m really surprised she’s not back from deacon’s yet.

Liam: Yeah, well, they might have just caught each other in which case it’s gonna be a minute. I mean, I dunno…

Ridge: Or maybe they missed each other. Let’s hope for that.

Liam: Okay.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: He is her dad.

Ridge: He tried being her dad. Never worked out.

Brooke: Well, hope wants him around. I know you don’t, but she does.

Ridge: I– it’s not about what I want. Sooner or later, bad habits are going to come out. And you daughter’s gonna get hurt.

Quinn: And I think this is gonna look really good with that design.

Zende: Wow.

Quinn: Right?

Zende: Yeah. It’s like they were made for each other.

Quinn: Well, I was really inspired by your work. There’s a lot of fantasy to it, you know? And I don’t know, I wanted, I wanted the accessories to go along with that.

Zende: You have. You’ve made them go along with them. It’s uh… I mean, they’re amazing. Amazing.

Quinn: I think your work is amazing. I think you’ve really grown as a designer. You know, you’re bringing a lot of respect to the forrester legacy.

Zende: Thank you, quinn. That means a lot. You know, your talent shines very bright around here as well.

Quinn: Thank you.

Carter: I couldn’t agree more.

Quinn: Oh.

Carter: When I think of beauty, I think of quinn.

Quinn: Hey.

Carter: Mm.

Zende: Look at you guys. Ugh. It’s obvious how crazy you are about each other.

Carter: And we don’t have to hide it.

Quinn: Ugh, which feels amazing.

Zende: Well, it’s good to see you both so happy.

Quinn: Oh, it was a long road with lots of twists and turns but it led me to this incredible man.

Brooke: You made your feelings clear about deacon and I respect them. But I’m not going to let anybody stop his relationship with her.

Liam: It’s not like we won’t all keep an eye out.

Brooke: I’m not naive when it comes to deacon. Hope trusts him and I trust hope.

Ridge: Okay, that’s great. So what about the night you spent with him? How do you explain that? What– what about his relationship with sheila? She used deacon as a weapon to get to you because she knew how much damage it would cause.

Sheila: Uh, I think you’re making your daddy a little antsy, here.

Deacon: No.

Hope: Oh, I’m– I’m– I’m being nosy. You weren’t expecting me.

Deacon: Listen, you are always welcome here. Maybe just a phone call first.

Hope: Yeah. You know, in case you have plans, which you clearly do so i should be on my merry way.

Deacon: Listen, I– I really want to spend time with you. I’m sorry. It’s just tonight is not a good night.

Hope: No, I totally understand, dad. We’ll rain check it for later. Lina, it was so nice meeting you.

Sheila: Like– likewise.

Deacon: I love–

Hope: All right. Have fun!

Deacon: All right! What the hell were you thinking? You want to stick around here? You stay away from my kid. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Zende: I think all these pairings work very well.

Quinn: Well, if you want something different, I do have lots of other options.

Zende: No, no, these are perfect. Plus, I’m sure you’re ready to call it a night. Have some alone time.

Carter: He’s talented and a mind reader.

Zende: Good night.

Quinn: Good night! Ah-ha! Hey. As much as I love working with zende, I couldn’t wait for him to leave so that I could do this.

Brooke: I don’t wanna argue about deacon.

Ridge: You think I wanna argue about him? I don’T. I– I just went to il giardino to tell him to stay away from you.

Liam: I thought he’d be up in his apartment with hope.

Ridge: That’s probably where he ran off to when you hung up with him.

Liam: Hey. There you are.

Hope: Hi. What’s, uh, going on? Is douglas all right?

Ridge: Douglas is fine. He’s with his dad. What do you mean?

Liam: I heard you uh, you let him stay another night.

Hope: Oh, yeah. I didn’t want to upset him. He seemed uh, really excited.

Liam: All right, well, beth will be home soon, so.

Hope: Great.

Liam: Did you find your dad?

Hope: Uh…? Yes.

Liam: Okay. Was it– was he acting, like, weird or anxious or squirrely?

Hope: Why?

Brooke: Ridge went to visit deacon, too.

Ridge: Seemed like he ran off to see you, maybe.

Hope: Oh. Well, now that explains things.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Hope: Well, I’ve been wondering for a while why I haven’t really heard from my dad and he said he’d been busy. But I think I know the real reason why. There’s a new woman in my dad’s life.

Sheila: You don’t need to be freaking out.

Deacon: When did hope get here? How long were you two together?

Sheila: Deacon, relax.

Deacon: Relax? Hope saw you.

Sheila: Yeah, and who’s fault was that? You could have told me she was coming.

Deacon: I didn’t know. Liam called me and told me that she was on her way here. Which is why I came over so fast.

Sheila: Yeah, and that didn’t look suspicious at all, did it? I had everything under control. You are overreacting and you still are. Are you– are you forgetting who you’re dealing with?

Deacon: Oh, I guess I must have to put up with this insanity. But then when I came here and I saw you with hope, brought me back to my senses.

Sheila: Oh god, don’t even do that. I would not have hurt your daughter.

Deacon: Really? Just like you didn’t hurt your own kid?

Sheila: Wow. Now you’re just being mean.

Deacon: Yeah? Well, it’s gonna get a whole lot meaner. I want you to pack your stuff and get out of here because this whole roommate thing, it ain’t working out. This is too dangerous. With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Carter: Thank you! I told you I had something planned.

Quinn: I like the way you think, carter walton.

Carter: Not disappointed?

Quinn: In you? Never.

Carter: Well, I saw your face when there was a knock at the door.

Quinn: Well, that’s because I thought we were going to be interrupted. I had no idea this was part of some elaborate plan.

Carter: Question is, will it be successful?

> Quinn: Well, that depends what you have in mind because you do know, I am a sure thing.

Carter: Well, I want to please you, give you a break after a very long, hard day at work. And I couldn’t have you eating dinner from a vending machine.

Quinn: Oh, please. I would have just stolen donna’s leftovers from the break room.

Carter: Yeah. You know, she drizzles honey all over her food–

Quinn: Please stop, I would have ordered out.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Well, I wanted to do something special to surprise you.

Quinn: Mm, well. Add that to the list. Because you always surprise me.

[Quinn sighs] You know, from the very first time that I poured my heart out to you, you listened to me. You actually heard me. Who knew? Who knew you were gonna be so, so kind and caring? Who knew we were gonna have so much in common? Who knew how good it was gonna feel to be in your arms. But the one thing… that always surprises me…. and I don’t know that I’ll ever get over is… that a woman like me could be lucky enough to fall in love with an incredible man like you.

Brooke: There’s a new woman in deacon’s life?

Hope: Well, I’m not entirely sure but I think so. I was shocked when I found her in his apartment.

Brooke: What was she doing?

Hope: Probably waiting for him to get off work. But she was nice about it.

Liam: Okay, so she’s nice.

Hope: Well, we barely spoke but yeah.

Brooke: I’m surprised deacon never said anything.

Hope: Well, I’m sure he’S… it’s new. You know, he seemed kind of nervous around her.

Ridge: Nervous?

Hope: I, uh– I’m pretty positive that it was a little awkward for him with me being there. I kind of wish I got more of an opportunity to talk to her, but yeah.

Brooke: Who is she?

Hope: Oh, lina. She seems kind of familiar. I have the strangest sense that I’ve met her somewhere before.

Deacon: Dumb, stupid. I knew this was a bad idea. Why did I listen to you?

Sheila: Would you just stop it because you’re losing it.

Deacon: I’m losing it. Why the hell aren’t you? Hope was thrown. She– she was asking questions.

Sheila: I was dealing with it.

Deacon: Oh– oh, I know how you deal with things. Why the hell do you think I got up here so fast?

Sheila: You almost gave us away.

Deacon: Us? Did you tell hope that we’re together?

Sheila: I didn’t even get a chance to say a word to her before you came crashing through that door.

Deacon: Good. Because I don’t want you talking to her or anyone else. All I want you to do is get out.

Sheila: Okay, look it, you need to get a grip.

Deacon: What part of you’re supposed to be dead aren’t you getting? What if hope recognized you? She said you looked familiar.

Sheila: You listen to me right now. You take a deep breath and you pull yourself together. Because I had everything under control. What you’ve got going on, this panicky thing? It doesn’t do it for me. Cats really know how to do… less,

Quinn: Oh, just a little bit more.

Carter: Yeah?

Quinn: Mm-hm, yeah.

Carter: Don’t want to keep you from your work.

Quinn: Work-shmurk. Come on. You’re fueling my inspiration. Besides, I’m not just talking about the, the food or the wine, although all of that is delicious.

Carter: All your favorites.

Quinn: Mm… you know, I think you can just add all of that to the list, right? Thoughtfulness. One of the other many things I love about you.

Carter: Well, I’m always thinking of you.

Quinn: I know that.

Carter: I hope so.

Quinn: You know, there was a time that I would have balked at all of this. I would have thought I was too strong and independent to have to admit that I… like, need this kind of attention. I would have felt unworthy.

Carter: No one is more worthy than you, quinn.

Quinn: And I would have made fun of you for saying that to me, as well.

Carter: I’m not against a little teasing. Can I tell you a secret?

Quinn: Mm-hmm?

Carter: I find your self-awareness incredibly sexy. And brave. And beautiful. It’s what attracted me to you in the first place: Your openness, the way you look at a situation and see its truth. You see a beautiful design in unpolished stone, a coil of metal. You see more deeply than anyone I’ve ever met. And when I’m with you, I see deeper, too. My life. What I want? When I look in your eyes, I see a whole future.

Quinn: I hope you’re not going to compare yourself to an unpolished stone because you, carter, are chiseled to perfection.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Okay. Okay, I walked into that one.

Quinn: Yeah, you did. Now, walk into this.

Brooke: You said this is new.

Hope: Well, it seems that way if it is something.

[ Liam chuckles]

Liam: Been quite a bit of radio silence from your dad, lately.

Hope: Yeah, well, I figured he was just trying to steer clear of the house, but who knows? You know, they might just be friends. They might be something more. I… I don’t know. I just– I don’t understand why my dad didn’t tell me about it.

Ridge: So he’s keeping her secret.

Hope: Well, I don’t know about that. He did say that they’ve been friends for a while.

Ridge: A while?

Hope: I don’t know how long. I– I didn’t really get the chance to talk much because it seemed like they wanted to be alone.

Brooke: You didn’t learn anything about her at all?

Hope: Not much. No.

Ridge: Honestly. What kind of a crazy woman would want to be with deacon? Right?

Sheila: You’re just making things worse by chasing hope out of here.

Deacon: What did you want me to do, invite her in and suggest we all get take out?

Sheila: She thought we were dating. You– you could have left it at that.

Deacon: You gotta go. All right? She could come back.

Sheila: How about this? The next time you go out, you lock the door.

Deacon: This isn’t happening! Sheila, please. You gotta go.

Sheila: We had a deal.

Deacon: It didn’t involve my kid.

Sheila: She– she didn’t know it was me and she won’T.

Deacon: She could.

Sheila: You and i did a lot more the other night than just talk and you had no clue it was me.

Deacon: Who the hell knows how many drinks I had?

Sheila: Yeah, well, you know what? You should be glad.

Deacon: Glad?

Sheila: Yes, because hope didn’t recognize me which means nobody else will!

Deacon: This isn’t a game.

Sheila: You think I don’t know that? I faked my own death, deacon. I could be in hiding for the rest of my life. But if I get caught, I’m going straight to prison. My life is on the line and I’m counting on you. So, like it or not, we’re in this together. Oh, my god. Your heart is beating so fast. The stress is just, is not good for you. I think, maybe what we should do is just take a nice, hot shower, relieve some of that.

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: I’m, uh, looking for my father. Who are you?

Hope: Taylor and steffy

have to realize that this

douglas situation is going

to put you and ridge at odds.

Brooke: That’s

what they want!

Ridge: Thomas has moved

into my dad’s house

and he wants douglas to be

part of that and I support it.

Brooke: No. Oh, my gosh,

ridge. No! Thomas can’t have

whatever he wants.

But that little boy can’t live

with hope and liam anymore.

He needs to know

where his father is.

He needs to understand that.

And I really need

you to support me in this.

Liam: Hey, brooke.

Brooke: Oh. Uh, hi, liam.

Liam: Hi. Sorry. Yeah, I didn’t mean to, um– if I was interrupting…

Brooke: No. Don’t worry. No. Uh, you just got in?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Long day, you know?

Brooke: Yeah. I gathered from hope. I was with her earlier.

Liam: Oh, earlier? Not– uh, okay. I, kind of, thought she’d be here now.

Brooke: No, she went to visit her dad.

Deacon: Damn it.

Paul: What’s the matter?

Deacon: The distributor screwed up the order, again.

Paul: Oh, no, you mean you got the wrong napkins? Dude, you should get really, really upset about it. What’s bugging you?

Deacon: Stuff. Stuff’s bugging me.

Paul: What kind of stuff? And does she have a name?

Deacon: What are you? A cop? Just let it go.

Paul: Whatever you say.

Deacon: Tonight’s just getting better and better. Oh, boy.

Ridge: Hi. I need to talk to you.

Deacon: Yeah? Well, unless you’re here to order the fettuccine alfredo, I’d say it’s a wasted trip because–

Ridge: You gotta stay away from brooke.

Deacon: Okay, we’re gonna do that again. I’m, just, gonna move this away. You were saying?

Deacon: Okay. So, uh, go ahead and thump your chest. Get it out of your system and then, please go, ’cause I’m at work.

Ridge: Is this a joke to you? ‘Cause I gotta tell you, it’s not a joke to me. I saw the picture that hope posted of you and my wife.

Deacon: ‘Course you did.

Ridge: And that’s after she told you to stay away from her. I told you. She told you.

Deacon: I remember.

Ridge: Do you? Because as soon as I leave town, you’re sniffing around her, what is that?

Deacon: Stop it, come on, “sniffing around?” That’s not why I was there.

Ridge: You’re just bad news for everyone, especially the people you claim you care about.

Liam: Wow. Really? Douglas is– it’s a– he’s going to spend another night over with thomas?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Eric is hosting a family dinner and kelly and hayes are there. Douglas is having a great time. He wants to stay. Hope didn’t want to upset him.

Liam: All right, okay. And beth is still at lola’S.

>>E: She had time to go visit her dad at his apartment.

Liam: Yeah. Seems like he’s settling in there nicely. Although I know, he wishes he could drop by here a little more.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: That is no longer an option.

Liam: Yeah, I– you’ve made it abundantly clear how adamant ridge is about him– him staying away.

Brooke: Away from me, not from hope. Nobody’s going to deny her of a relationship with her father.

Liam: Yeah– I mean, of course. Yes. It still affects hope, though. I mean, she– she’s trying to do right by ridge. She’s trying to respect his wishes. Deacon is still her dad, though, so it’s like, it does kind of make the situation harder for everybody.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just ridge is… you know, ridge. He’S… protective.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: And especially now that sheila is no longer in our lives.

Liam: And now that she’s no longer in our lives, he gets to take all that pent up energy and focus it right on deacon.

Brooke: Exactly. Sheila is dead. I mean, she’s no longer a threat to us. We don’t have to hear from her or see her ever again.

Hope: Hello? I asked who you are. Hi, I’m denise.

Liam: So did hope, uh… did hope say anything about when she might be back?

Brooke: Oh, I don’t think she’ll be gone that long. She just wanted to see her dad. I think it was more of a diversion.

Liam: From this whole thing with douglas.

Brooke: Yeah. I can’t believe thomas is doing this. A custody battle.

Liam: Potential custody battle. I’m hoping the two of them can work out some kind of arrangement where there aren’t lawyers and a judge involved.

Brooke: That would be nice. But thomas is already acting like douglas is going to move in with him full-time. And he has this image in his head that he’s going to be there as a father, 24/7 and he hasn’t taken care of that little boy for years.

Liam: We all know why that is, because the dude was actually unstable. I mean, he was dealing with his own issues. And that’s– that’s the whole reason hope and I took douglas in in the first place.

Brooke: I know. And now out of the blue, he wants him back. He wants to raise him at the forrester estate, as the heir apparent?

Liam: Did he actually say that? Like, those words?

Brooke: Well, no. I mean, not in those exact words. But why all this sudden interest in everything forrester for his son? I think a lot of it might be steffy and taylor. I think they’re pushing for this. I mean, we all want douglas to know and be a part of his father’s family. But you’re his family, too. You and hope and beth. Hope is his mother. And beth, she thinks that that’s her older brother. And if he’s no longer living with the three of you then, oh, all of that’s going to change.

Liam: You know, even I see douglas as– as a kind of son. And I know that thomas is saying that hope can visit him whenever she wants. But that– that is not the same as douglas living with us.

Brooke: No, it’s not the same at all. And hope knows that. And I think it’s stressing her out. And it’s good she went over to see deacon. Maybe she can, just, unwind a bit. Okay. I know you’re not a fan of deacon.

Liam: Eh… I am and I’m not. It depends on my mood.

Deacon: You just never miss a chance to say what a lowlife I am, do ya?

Ridge: To be fair, deacon, it’s right in front of me. You’re bad for brooke and everyone she cares about. Stay away from her.

Deacon: Really? Does that include my daughter? You know, the one that brooke and I created together? I know it bothers you when i say that, but it is a fact.

Ridge: And the other fact is that you’ve hurt this young woman over and over again with the bad choices you continue to make.

Deacon: You’ve never made any bad choices, have you? Huh? Nothing that you regret. God, it– it must be so amazing to be this perfect.

Ridge: Thank you. Silly, silly boy. I’m not perfect. And I’m not a con. Sorry, ex-con. You’ve changed your ways, right?

Deacon: You know, you never even give me a chance. You just always assume–

Ridge: Assume what?

[ Crowd murmuring ] Excuse– I’m sorry. Excuse me. Assume what? That you are exactly who I know you are? That you’re going to move in on someone when no one’s watching like you did on new year’s eve?

Deacon: That wasn’t me. That was sheila. She switched the damn–

Ridge: That picture you took was taken in my office. You know how I know that? My name is right on the door. I don’t want you in my office. I don’t want you in my house, the house I share with brooke. I don’t want you anywhere near my family because all you do is cause trouble.

Deacon: I’m not sure I cause trouble, I– sometimes trouble finds me.

Ridge: Are you kidding me? So now it’s trouble’s fault. You never take responsibility. You’re just like sheila. It’s never your fault. And you know what happened to sheila. She got eaten by a bear. And you know why? She had no one to talk to, no one to turn to except this.

Hope: Hi. What’s your name and how do you know my dad? Okay. You don’t want to answer and I think I might know why. Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. No matter who you are,

Liam: I guess I hoped that things would settle down. Like, with sheila finally out of the picture for good, things would return to normal. Whatever normal happens to look like between the forresters and the logans. But now I’m not– you know, I’m not even so sure between this whole, you know, thomas wanting douglas to come live with him full-time. And then there’s this ongoing thing between ridge and deacon. It’s like– uh!

Brooke: Mm-hm. And you don’t want hope getting caught up in the middle of that, again.

Liam: No, it’s too much. It’s too much. She’s dealing with enough on her own, you know, like.

Brooke: Okay. But there’s something you’re not saying.

Liam: No.

[ Sighing ] Okay. Hope finally has the relationship that she’s wanted with her father for a really long time. Right? You know? And I just– I don’t know– I don’t– I don’t even know how long that’s gonna last now. Like, deacon is doing his absolute best. He is trying his hardest not to disappoint hope again. He’s trying to make all the right choices so he can make his daughter proud. But old habits, you know, they’re hard to break. And there are people in hope’s life, and you know who I’m talking about, who are just waiting. They’re just– they’re just waiting for deacon to slip up or to– or to give in to temptation again, whatever that might look like, so that they can– so, that they can pounce, right? They can give hope the old, “I told you so.” And if that happens… I hope that doesn’t happen.

Deacon: Sheila and i were never friends, not in the real sense of the word, anyway.

Ridge: Can I stop you? I don’t, uh… I don’t care who you may or may not have been to each other. The fact is that she was a psycho. A lunatic. And you allowed her to be in your life for a long time. That’s the kind of choices you make. And that’s the kind of person I don’t want around my family. I don’t want around brooke. And I don’t want around hope.

Deacon: No, you’d like if, uh, I was just banned from hope’s life–

Ridge: Are you kidding me? I would love that. You know why? ‘Cause you are toxic. Hmm. Okay. Well, fortunately, she doesn’t feel the same way. She wants to be close with me. I know she wants to be close with you. She wants you to be who she wants you to be. It’s never gonna happen. We both know it’s gonna end in disaster.

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: Hey, liam. What’s going on?

Liam: Hey. Uh… so, I’m with brooke. I’ve been texting hope but she’s not getting back to me. But brooke says that– that hope went over to your apartment to see you.

Deacon: She went to my apartment?

Liam: Uh, yeah. Uh, she’s not there now? No, I’m at work. Uh, liam, thanks for the heads up, okay?

Liam: What?

Deacon: I gotta go.

Brooke: Deacon wasn’t with hope? Uh, apparently not. And uh, deacon was acting a little weird on the phone. So I wonder what that’s about. This can’t be. It can’T. Dad. I can’t believe what I ‘m seeing. You never told me that you have a new woman in your life. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Liam: Okay. Wait. So… if hope showed up to deacon’s place and he’s not there, why doesn’t she just go downstairs to il giardino? Maybe she didn’t want to interrupt him at work. Yeah. Okay. It’s a little weird they weren’t together.

Ridge: Who wasn’t together? Hi.

Brooke: Oh, hi. Hope and her father. Hope went to spend a little time with deacon and apparently they missed each other.

Ridge: Huh? Well, I– I don’t know. I– I was with him when you called il giardino. I was… I was with him there.

Liam: Huh?

Brooke: You went to see deacon, too?

Ridge: Yeah. Probably not for the same reason that hope went to see him.

Liam: Okay, so. So did deacon seird to you?

Ridge: Did deacon seem weird? He always seems weird to me. What do you mean? But he took off pretty quick after you guys hung up, probably to go back to his apartment and clean up beer bottles and whatever else is on his floor.

Brooke: Ridge, come on.

Ridge: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t do that. I shouldn’t think the worst of the worst person I’ve ever met. What do you want to say? He lets people down.

Brooke: Why did you go to see him?

Ridge: The picture that hope posted. The three of you guys in my office? I’m not okay with it. And I’m not saying it was you, it had nothing to do with you. It was all him. But he has to know that I can’t tolerate this kind of stuff, right?

Brooke: Did it get physical?

Ridge: No, it didn’t get physical. What am I, 12? No, it was fine. He has hurt you so badly, he’s hurt hope. And I just don’t want that to happen again. Is that okay?

Hope: Dad, I had no idea that you were seeing someone. Why didn’t you tell me? Deacon: Why– why didn’t I? Why didn’t I tell you?

Hope: Why did you hide it? Did you think I wouldn’t approve?

Deacon: No, I– you know, I just– okay, listen. Let me put it this way.

Hope: Well, I mean, maybe you could start with an introduction.

Deacon: Okay, uh… just before I do that, though, I just want you to know this isn’t what you think it is.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: Dad, you’re a grown man. And I want you to be happy. And I– I know how you feel about mom, but she has ridge. And if you have moved on, then–

Deacon: I haven’t decided anything yet. This was A… totally rando thing. I mean, completely unexpected.

Hope: Okay, well, sometimes the best things in life just happen that way. Meanwhile, I feel like we are being rude. I’m so sorry. We’re– we’re– we’re yammering on and on, and I don’t even know your name. I’m– I’m hope.

Sheila: [Southern accent] Um, nicholina. Li– lina for short.

[ Laughter ]

Hope: Oh, that’s a lovely name. Isn– isn’t that italian?

Sheila: Uh, means I always win.

Deacon: Uh, lina is an old friend of mine. We go way back. Um, she just showed up unexpectedly.

Sheila: Pleasure.

Hope: Yeah, same to you.

Deacon: Is everything okay?

Hope: Uh yeah, it’s just, um. Sorry. The more I look at you, I– I feel like maybe we’ve met somewhere before. Do I… do I know you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: Here you go.

Brooke: Thank you. It’s so quiet without liam and the kids.

Hope: Yeah. Oh, liam actually has a meeting with bill and wyatt.

Brooke: Well, that’s good. He’s working a lot.

Hope: And I think it’s nice that he’s spending time with his father. It’s a bit of a reminder for myself not to neglect my dad.

Brooke: What? Honey, you’re not neglecting your father. You were just on the phone with him, and he said he was busy dealing with something.

Sheila: Hey, roomie.

Deacon: Can we not? We are not roomies.

Sheila: What would you rather I say? Live-in lover?

Deacon: I’m letting you crash here, and I’m obviously nuts for doing it.

Sheila: Well, you know what, I look around, I’m thinking that we could really spruce this place up. Maybe go with a– a new color palette, a couple of floral pillows.

Deacon: I don’t know what’s worse, floral pillows or a supposedly dead fugitive staring me in the face all day.

Sheila: All day and all night. I’ll definitely make it worth your while. I will fulfill whatever needs you have, and I’ll give you a lot of money too.

Steffy: So cute, like with that little laugh there, how adorable was that? The kids are all settled in with amelia.

Finn: Yeah, it was super cute. Douglas was teaching hayes how to sketch a rocket ship. Very advanced stuff.

Taylor: Well, I am in heaven watching all of them together.

Ridge: Donna, dad, thanks again for having us. Thank you.

Eric: Sure.

Finn: And thanks for including my mom, eric. She’s on her way.

Eric: That’s my pleasure. That’s what tonight’s all about, isn’t it? Reconnecting with one another, reminding each other how much… how much we depend on each other. And it’s wonderful to see you again, I can tell you that.

Steffy: Couldn’t agree more.

Taylor: The miracle of monaco lives on.

Ridge: You look really good, dad.

Donna: Doesn’t he now?

Ridge: Yeah.

Donna: My dashing eric.

Eric: Thank you.

Donna: You’re welcome.

Finn: Oh, mom. Hey, you made it.

Li: A bit late.

Finn: It’s all right, please.

Li: I wanted to get this for you, eric. I really appreciate you inviting me.

Eric: Of course. Thank you, that’s very thoughtful. You know, we cannot stop marveling that your son is here.

Li: I know some of you still have issues with how I handled things.

Finn: M– mom, you saved my life. That’s all that matters.

Li: I’m still in awe of it myself. That I get many more years with my beautiful boy.

Finn: Well, it’s because of you. And I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.

Eric: We’ve done everything we can to make it clear to him that he is now a member of the forrester family, and that– that applies to you, too.

Li: Thank you.

Eric: Yeah.

Finn: Okay, well, come on in. Have a drink, yeah? Maybe one of eric’s famous martinis?

Eric: Okay, at least one.

Steffy: Make sure the kids aren’t drawing on granddad’s furniture.

Taylor: Well, I’m– I’m glad we’re doing this. You know, it’s good to have everybody together.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Nothing from ridge.

Hope: I’m sure it’s a lot with the kids running around. They’re probably getting, you know, ready for dinner.

Brooke: Just feels strange not being there. I am his wife, after all.

Hope: Yeah, that would’ve been nice.

Brooke: I do understand though. I mean, they’re still trying to process everything that’s happened. Finding out that finn is alive, and sheila out of our lives, once and for all.

Sheila: I’m gonna be here for a very long time.

Deacon: Don’t remind me.

Sheila: You know what? You weren’t complaining last night, so why don’t we have a repeat performance, huh? We’re both stuck in this shabby little place, we may as well make the most of it.

Deacon: I gotta go down to the bar and clock in.

Sheila: Oh, come on. You have some fun with me before you go. Hmm? Smile. Enjoy yourself. Why don’t we just enjoy our new living arrangement?

Sheila: Do you really have to go to work?

Deacon: I do if I don’t want to be late.

Sheila: Well, maybe I can come down later and keep you company.

Deacon: You do not step a foot outside. Do you understand? Look, if anyone finds out the truth, especially hope and brooke, if they figure out that you’re alive and kicking, and that you’re staying here. You know what that’s gonna–

Sheila: Oh, would you just chill!

[ Sheila sighing ]

Hope: I am glad that douglas is having a fun time over at eric’S. They’re his family too. Though, I admit, him staying for another night for dinner, threw me for a loop. I just wish that thomas had given me a bit of a heads-up, that’s all.

Brooke: Let’s hope that that doesn’t become a habit.

Hope: Anyways, I’m surprised that taylor’s the one pushing so aggressively for thomas to get more custody.

Brooke: She knows that ridge and I won’t be on the same page when it comes to thomas. So, she’s using this to undermine my marriage. I’m sure that’s what this forrester party is all about.

Ridge: What are you talking about? I was a huge success. I pulled a rabbit out of a hat. Dad, you remember that?

Taylor: It was not a rabbit. You said it was a rabbit. It was a stuffed monkey, and the kids were so confused. Do you remember?

Ridge: It was a stuffed monkey rabbit, it was perfect.

Donna: Excuse me, uh, could I have everyone’s attention, please? Actually, could you two please help me hang this above the fireplace?

Thomas: Yeah, sure.

Donna: Thank you. Well, the time has come for, um, a new portrait over the fireplace.

Eric: Oh, donna, I don’t really think this is the time for that.

Donna: Oh, actually, no, eric, this is the perfect time. In fact, it’s– it’s long overdue. As many of you know, I have been away from this home for many years. But now I’m back, and I have the– the privilege of living with this– this wonderful man. And as the new lady of this house, I would like to make some much-needed changes. To put a stamp on this home in a way that I– I hope will be permanent. A forever fixture. The first person that you see when you walk through the door.

Ridge: See now, that makes sense.

Taylor: Aw, okay.

Ridge: Did you think for one second, it was gonna be her?

Taylor: I did, yeah, I really did. A 1000%. PDonna: It’s about time your handsome face hung above the fireplace. After all, it’s your home, eric.

Eric: Wow. Look at that.

Donna: What do you think? Do you like it?

Eric: It’s wonderful, thank you.

Donna: Yeah?

Eric: Thank you.

Thomas: You know, uh, donna’s right. Grandad, you deserve this. How you– you’ve always supported me. I mean, my entire family has been there for me, and now to have douglas here. In your home, our home. It’s a– it’s an honor. You know, you, grandad, and dad, you both have taught me everything I know. How to– how to be a designer. How to be a father. How to be a man. I went through some dark times, but I’m coming out the other side. And I’m a better man for it. And, um, you were always there for me. Especially you.

Ridge: Come here. I’m so proud of you. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Hope: Taylor and steffy have to realize that this douglas situation is going to put you and ridge at odds.

Brooke: Yeah, well, that’s the point. They want us to disagree. That way they can hold one more thing against the logans.

Hope: Well, I… I feel bad because I don’t wanna put you in that position.

Brooke: Honey, you’re not putting me in that position, they are. By convincing thomas to drag douglas out of here, away from you.

Hope: And one would think, as mothers, that they would understand how damaging this could be for douglas.

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, taylor should know better. Being a psychiatrist. Until thomas can show more stability and consistency, there is no way that douglas is moving out of here.

Hope: Okay, mom, I… I appreciate your enthusiasm about this, but I don’t want it to have any consequences.

Brooke: Honey, it’s okay. Ridge and I won’t let it affect us.

Hope: Well, I appreciate the support.

Brooke: I will always have your back, sweetie. Always.

Hope: Thank you. So, since douglas is with thomas, and beth is at her overnight, and liam is at his meeting, and dad sounded stressed on the phone, I am actually going to go pay him a visit.

[ Deacon moaning ]

Deacon: Wait, one second.

Sheila: What are you doing? What are you doing?

Deacon: I told you, I gotta go to work! I gotta go to work. Listen, if you and your nine toes wanna go hide somewhere else, I won’t take it personally.

Sheila: Oh, god.

Deacon: Come on. What’s with the face? You’re not gonna be alone that long. Take a nap or something.

Sheila: Well, it’s just like… I can’t help thinking about finn.

Deacon: Sheila, you know you’re never gonna see him again.

Sheila: Yeah, but I can’t help wondering how he really feels about my… my supposed death.

Finn: Well, that is the best thing I’ve heard all day, I love you, too. More than all the dolphins in the ocean.

Kelly: And all the butterflies?

Finn: Yeah, and all the butterflies. And the– and the ladybugs, too.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Steffy: Did you make that? Oh, is that the four of us? I have to show it to hayes once he’s up from his nap.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Aw. You’re happy finn’s back? I’m happy, too.

Finn: Hey, everyone? I’d like to say a few things if it’s okay. Um, this has been a long road for all of us. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my wife. And our children, who made me keep fighting. When I slowly began to regain consciousness, I pictured a moment just like this. And with every beat of my heart, I would just say steffy’s name over and over my head, like a mantra. Like a prayer. I couldn’t move my legs. I didn’t know how I would get back here, but… I knew I had to find a way. Back to you, back to the kids. And to have that kind of, that depth and devotion, to tap into, that’S… that’s what pulled me through. That’s– that’s what saved me. Few people get to know that kind of connection, and if they do, they’re lucky. So, I think we’re all very lucky. Ice cream is like whooping cough,

Deacon: Okay, I gotta go.

Sheila: Oh, so soon.

Deacon: Oh, like you haven’t been stalling me.

Sheila: What’s a girl to do? I’m already so bored.

Deacon: Yeah, I’m sure you’ll figure something out, all right? Just lay low, and stay quiet.

Sheila: Yeah, yeah.

Deacon: Sheila, lay low. Stay quiet. No one can see or hear you.

Sheila: Obviously.

Deacon: All right. I’ll bring you something to eat when I come back.

Sheila: Okay. I’ll be here, all by my lonesome.

[ Overlapping conversation ]

Thomas: Hey, buddy. You having fun?

Douglas: Yeah, this is awesome.

Thomas: Ah okay, cool.

[Laughing]

Eric: That’s the, uh– joys of being a grandparent. You can watch the kids play from a safe distance.

[ Laughing ]

Li: I’m still new at being a grandmother. Watching these two laugh and play, it’s just magical.

Ridge: Magical, is it? Yeah, especially from a distance, ’cause you’re not gonna pull a hammy that way.

Taylor: Oh, yes. But see, I– I loved those days very much, and I also love these days.

Ridge: No, this is great. Thank you, once again for giving us what we didn’t know you needed.

Taylor: Yeah.

Eric: It’s marvelous. Absolutely wonderful. We should do this more often.

Ridge: Yes, we should do it more often.

Taylor: I agree.

Ridge: Invite us more often. Look at what we have, look around you. Look how fortunate we are. It’s a family. These are my kids.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: I mean, you guys running around in here, and I just, I’m thank– thank you, if I haven’t said it before, for giving me such a wonderful family.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, well, you’re welcome. This is what it’s all about. I mean, can you feel the love in the room? It’s just, it’s so there. All the connection. It’s just beautiful, it really is. And the best thing about it, is you two. Right now, just seeing the two of you smiling and laughing with your kids. It’s everything.

Ridge: It is everything. I’m gonna remember this moment for a long time. And I promise right now, you can quote me, I will be, from now on, the best man I can possibly be for you.

Steffy: Aw, dad, you are the best.

Ridge: See? Come here.

Taylor: Yay.

Thomas: I love you, mom.

Taylor: I love you, baby.

Ridge: What about this guy?

Finn: Thanks. Ridge: I love you, buddy.

[ Phone ringing ]

Brooke: Hi.

Donna: Hey.

Brooke: Donna, how’s it going over there at eric’s?

Donna: Ridge just gave a really nice speech about his kids. And, of course, everyone’s overjoyed about finn. Um, it’s really a sweet, sweet evening. It’s– it’S… there’s only one problem, brooke. You’re not here. Taylor is here with ridge instead.

Ridge: You look–

Taylor: Thank you.

Ridge: Thanks for dressing up tonight, finally.

[ Taylor laughing ] Feels nice. Come here.

Brooke: Taylor is using this sweet family bonding time as a way to manipulate ridge’s feelings.

Hope: Dad? Are you here? I’m looking for my father. Who are you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Sheila: Rise and shine, handsome. I made you a cup of coffee, extra kick. And you know why? Because taking care of each other and having each other’s back, that’s kind of what roomies do.

Deacon: Roomies? God, it wasn’t a dream.

Steffy: I can’t get enough of you.

Finn: Mhm.

Steffy: Touching you. Kissing you. Making passionate love to you. I hope that’s all right.

Finn: That’s all right.

[ Eric laughing ]

Ridge: Hey! What’s the verdict? Are you enjoying yourself?

Douglas: Yeah. Best part, I got to spend the whole night with dad.

Eric: Well, you’re welcome to do that any time you want.

Thomas: You really like it here, don’t you?

Douglas: I love it. Can I watch the game in the screening room?

Thomas: Do you remember how to work the remote?

Douglas: Dad, I taught you.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. Go ahead, then.

Douglas: All right.

Eric: So how long are you and douglas planning on staying?

Brooke: So, did douglas tell you how his evening went with thomas?

Hope: Uh, no, I actually haven’t spoken to them yet.

Brooke: They haven’t checked in?

Hope: Nope.

Brooke: Okay. Well, maybe I should call ridge and get some answers. Douglas needs to come home.

[ Deacon grunting ]

Deacon: What time is it?

Sheila: It’s time for another round. You know, hut to celebrate last night.

Deacon: At a certain point, it gets kinda blurry.

Sheila: Yeah, well. Trust me, you were, uh, you were all about it. But if I can’t sleep in, you can’t sleep in. So, it’s time you get up, big boy, and christ do I mean big boy.

[ Sheila laughing ] I made you breakfast hours ago. Um, I can either reheat it or I can make you something–

Deacon: Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: I don’t think this roommate thing’s gonna work out.

Steffy: I never loved looking at anyone like I love looking at you. I mean, first of all, the obvious. Secondly, you’re here with me again.

Taylor: Oh, okay. I’m just gonna go back upstairs.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Mom, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s, it’s okay.

Taylor: Oh, are you sure?

Steffy: Yeah, it’s fine. It’s cool.

Finn: Yeah, [Indistinct] Steffy and I have the rest of our lives together, so.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Yes, you do. Thank god.

Steffy: Yeah, no kidding.

Taylor: So have you, um, have you heard from your brother? Has he– has he called, or said anything about his father-son night?

Steffy: No, no, I haven’t heard anything.

Taylor: You know what, they’re probably having such a good time. This is how it should be. Douglas spending more time with thomas is long overdue.

Eric: I don’t mean to give you the idea that I’m pressuring you, and I– I just wondered if you have any idea how long you and douglas might want to stay here. Do you want to stay here?

Thomas: Well– I would love to stay for at least a little while.

Eric: Yeah.

Thomas: If that’s okay.

Eric: This is the forrester house. You’re a forrester. So is douglas, for that matter.

Thomas: I’m not exactly sure that donna would be thrilled about douglas and me living here.

Eric: No, no. Donna loves douglas, she does. I imagine the person that wouldn’t be so thrilled if this were to happen, would be hope.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m, uh, I’m trying to be as gentle as possible. I don’t wanna do anything to hurt or upset hope.

Hope: No, mom, please don’t call ridge.

Brooke: You don’t wanna know what’s going on? You don’t wanna know when thomas is gonna bring douglas home? I sure do!

Hope: What I don’t wanna do is put you and your marriage in the middle of this situation. This is between thomas and me.

Brooke: Honey, don’t kid yourself. It’s a lot bigger than that. We are under attack by steffy and taylor.

I’m a ganiac, ganiac,

check my drawers.

Taylor: I bet you felt like you were in so much danger when you were with sheila.

Finn: I felt like I could’ve been if I wasn’t careful.

Steffy: Well, I’m glad you kept your guard up. All sheila cared about was protecting herself. You were just collateral damage, and you could’ve been again.

Finn: That would’ve meant not being able to get home to you. Nothing was going to stop me from that. So, I used sheila’s emotions and weaknesses against her and got my strength back up when she wasn’t watching.

Taylor: That was just so smart. It really was, and now look at you. Here you are, proving the power of love. It’s such a blessing. Such a blessing for steffy and the kids.

Finn: Well, I feel the exact same way, except maybe a little bit more because I’m married to a talented, beautiful, loving woman, like you.

Taylor: Yes, this is a very happy time for our family, for sure. Families coming together, well, almost. Now, we just need to get douglas home.

Hope: Last thing I want is for this to escalate into some kind of family war. I do not want you and me versus taylor and steffy. No one needs that, but… fine. You are right, mom. This is douglas’s home. So fine, I will call and check in.

[ Phone dialing ]

Ridge: If you don’t ask–

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Hold on a sec.

Eric: You could do it.

Thomas: Hope, hey.

Hope: Uh, hi. I’m– I’m just checking in on douglas.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. He’s in the– he’s in the screening room watching the dodgers game.

Hope: With the

popcorn machine?

Thomas: He loves it.

Hope: So, did you two have a good night?

Thomas: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Great night.

Hope: Well, good. Um, I’m actually about to go run some errands, and I thought I could maybe even swing by to pick up douglas, save you a trip?

Thomas: Oh, you know what? Grandad actually had this idea for an early family dinner. Asked douglas if he wanted to stay around.

Hope: Dinner? I, um– I just thought douglas would be home by now.

Thomas: Yeah, well, you know what? He’s having a great time, and he wants to stay, so… look, I’ll just– I’ll give you a call in a little bit, okay?

Brooke: Honey. What happened?

Sheila: What do you mean, this arrangement isn’t going to work because it already is. I mean, we’re both getting into a rhythm. I’m making life as easy as I can for you, deacon. I’m making you coffee. I’m– I’m cooking for you.

Deacon: I know. Look, I appreciate it, sheila. It’s very thoughtful and it’s very considerate.

Sheila: Well, then. I don’t get it then. Then, what’s the problem?

Deacon: Sheila, I’m thinking about you.

Sheila: Oh, god.

Deacon: Fine. I’m thinking about me, too. Hey, listen, one of the conditions of my parole is that I do not associate with known felons. Especially ones that go rogue and try and fake their own death. Sheila, seriously. I mean, are you going to risk both of our freedoms, so what? So, we can play house here together? If I were you, I would be hightailing it as far out of L.A. As I could get.

Sheila: I– I– I appreciate the concern, but I’m good.

Deacon: What if somebody sees you? ‘Cause we had a pretty damn close call yesterday with my parole officer.

Sheila: Yeah, but–

Deacon: But no, look– that could’ve gone wrong a hundred different ways.

Sheila: But, it didn’T. I thought quick on my feet, and I took care of it like I always do. But, you know what? You’re right. I didn’t go through the excruciating pain of cutting off my own toe just to make some stupid mistake that was gonna land me back in prison.

Deacon: Look, as far as I’m concerned, I never saw you. Okay? I just think it would be best if you left.

Sheila: I’m not going anywhere. Hi, I’m nancy.

Brooke: I don’t like what’s happening.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t expecting him to stay for dinner, but, okay.

Brooke: I can’t believe thomas wouldn’t even let you pick up douglas.

Eric: Family dinner. That’s exactly what we need after everything that our family’s been through.

Ridge: It’s true. We gotta reconnect as forresters, and you know what? Finn coming back from the dead, perfect reason to celebrate.

Eric: It is. And douglas staying here as well, that too.

Thomas: I’m so happy that we’re all together.

Ridge: Where’s donna? Is she joining us?

Eric: She’s shopping with pam. She’ll be back here for dinner.

Thomas: Hey, granddad?

Eric: Yeah.

Thomas: It is so good to see you happy again.

Eric: Thank you. Donna’s a real treasure, I gotta tell you.

Thomas: Hey, bud! How was the game?

Douglas: Dodgers won.

Ridge: Of course they did.

Eric: Yeah. I hope you’re hungry.

Douglas: Oh, dad said we’re having a family dinner. I cannot wait to see kelly and hayes.

Ridge: Really? Fair warning, it’s about to get really, really loud in here.

Eric: That’s the way I like it.

Ridge: Is it?

Taylor: Hey, the party’s here.

Douglas: Kelly!

Taylor: Hi! Hi, douglas!

Steffy: I’m gonna take him upstairs.

Taylor: That’s a good idea. Okay, so on a scale of one to so much fun, how was last night with your dad?

Douglas: So much fun.

Taylor and douglas: Yeah!

Taylor: Okay, tell me everything. What did you do?

Douglas: Okay, so, we ordered pizza.

Taylor: Yes.

Douglas: Swam a lot.

Taylor: Awesome.

Douglas: And then started building a model rocket.

Taylor: Oh, that’amulg.

Finn: Oh, man. I wanna get one of those.

Taylor: Okay, what else? What else did you do?

Douglas: Oh, and my dad showed me how to play a chord on his guitar.

Taylor: Yes!

Finn: Nice.

Taylor: Excellent!

Douglas: You wanna see?

Kelly: Yeah.

Douglas: Then, let’s go.

Eric: Okay. Okay. Okay.

[ Laughing ]

Eric: Okay, this is exactly what you told me.

Taylor: Yes.

Eric: This is great. It’s perfect. And you, I… I can’t believe we’re seeing you again. Your last name might be finnegan, but you’re this close to being a forrester right now.

Sheila: You know, how can you even suggest that I leave los angeles? Like, do you even know me? My son and my grandson are here.

Deacon: Do you honestly think that you’re– you’re still gonna have a relationship with finn? After what you did? Accidentally shooting him? Not so accidentally shooting his wife.

Sheila: And I have apologized for that over and over again. Steffy, she just wouldn’t stop pushing me. Telling me that– that I would have no place in finn and hayes’s lives. And yeah, okay, I– at that brief moment, I lost it.

Deacon: You know, see– that’s the problem with you. You don’t get the subtle differences. There’s losing it, and then there’s losing it.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: Okay. I, uh, I overreact. Sometimes. And I admit that. But you’re making it sound like– like I am just some– some lunatic, some crazy woman and that’s just not true.

Deacon: Really? No, a completely sane woman who cuts her toe off to fake her own death, and then hobbles back to the scene of the crime, putting your freedom and mine at risk. Right, no crazy here. All right, look, I’m just trying to say that it’s dangerous for both of us to have you here. Look, if you really wanna have a life, you wanna have your freedom… you gotta put L.A. In the rear view mirror, and you’ve gotta disappear for good this time.

Deacon: Sheila, I’ve literally never met anyone like you before. I don’t think there is anyone like you.

Sheila: And I like you too. I think I’ve proven that.

Deacon: Look, we obviously have great chemistry in bed, right?

Sheila: Mm hmm.

Deacon: And if things were different… but they’re not.

[ Phone ringing ] It might be work. It’s hope, shh. Hey, sweetheart.

Hope: Dad, hi. Um, look, I just realized that we promised that we would hang out together soon, and I haven’t followed through on that, and I just– I’ve had a lot on my plate lately.

Deacon: You know, I actually– I’ve had my hands full, too. Dealing with something unexpected.

Hope: Everything okay?

Deacon: Yeah, everything’s fine. Um, listen, thanks for, uh, for reaching out. We’ll get together soon, okay? Bye.

[ Telephone beeping ]

Deacon: You see, that call from hope, that just reinforces how dangerous this is. If hope or brooke find out that you’re staying here, if anyone finds–

Sheila: Shh. You know, you keep droning on and on and on about the risks, but what about the benefits? And the obvious one, I have money. Not to mention something else that you can’t seem to get enough of. So, why don’t you just enjoy the spoils, deacon? ‘Cause I’m not leaving. And just a word of caution, if you have any plans to blow the whistle on me, well, you’d be blowing it on yourself as well. Remember, your words. I go to prison, you go to prison. So, now that we have that at all settled… what can I make you for dinner?

Taylor: Ta-dah!

[ Chuckling ]

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Cheers.

Ridge: Cheers.

Taylor: What’s going on with you?

Ridge: What do you mean?

Taylor: You have this– this smile, on your face. Like– like you know something that the rest of us don’T.

Ridge: That goes without saying.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Ridge: I don’t know. I guess I’m just happy.

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: You?

Ridge: Yes. Happy to be here.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Ridge: My family makes me feel good.

Taylor: Good.

Ridge: You know what else makes me feel good?

Taylor: What?

Ridge: You.

Eric: Your love for my granddaughter is showing.

Finn: I don’t rein it in very well, do I?

Eric: No, and you– you don’t have to. Not after everything you’ve been through. My god, it must have felt like she was completely out of reach to you.

Finn: No. You know, as soon as I woke up, I… I knew I had to get home to her. I just… had to figure out how.

Eric: Makes me very happy to know that she found a man who loves her that much. Welcome home.

Finn: Thanks, eric.

Steffy: Amelia has the kids occupied upstairs, thank goodness.

Thomas: Yeah, uh, they got a whole new puzzle. Douglas is showing kelly how to put the borders out first before you go. I taught him that.

Ridge: Yeah? And who taught you?

Eric: Yeah, excuse me. Who taught you?

Ridge: Are you feeling it? There’s a toast coming on.

Taylor: Whoa.

Ridge: Grab a glass if you don’t already have one. I just wanna say how pleased I am to be around these beautiful people. Makes me wanna be prettier.

Taylor: Aw, but you’re so pretty.

Ridge: I am pretty, no–

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Nice. Thank you. I paid her to say this.

[ Ridge sighing ] We’ve had a rough ride this year, for this family. Um, when taylor and I went to monaco, we didn’t know what to expect because… when steffy left, she was… pretty despondent. And then, we heard that she was doing worse, so we didn’t know what we were gonna walk into. But what we walked into was a miracle. Finn was alive, and… I gotta tell you, I’m never gonna forget that day. You didn’t just come back to this little beach house, you came back to the forresters. And dad was joking earlier about you almost being a forrester. You are. You’re part of us, and you always will be. Whether you like it or not.

All: Cheers.

Steffy: I have to say something. Speaking of you. When I first met you, I… I knew that I was in trouble. What this, like, turned into? I could not dream this. I mean, you are… you are amazing. Your love, your strength. I was devastated when I thought you were gone. But here you are. We’re together again. Your family’s together again. I will forever, forever be grateful, and I will never take this for granted. I’m never gonna take you for granted. I love you, finn, so much.

Finn: I love you.

Eric: Cheers, everyone.

Finn: Thank you.

All: Cheers.

Sheila: Look, I could leave if you really want me to, but you’d be a fool to pass up this offer. You can do so much better, deacon. Look, do– do you really wanna live the rest of your life like this? I– granted, this is a step up from the storage room, but it’s– it’s definitely not the forrester estate. I can help you do better. The money I have access to, it’S…

Deacon: How much? I mean, if I’m even gonna entertain the idea of you staying here, I wanna know exactly how much.

Taylor: Wow. Where did that come from? I– I thought we were talking about the kiss that ridge and I shared that you’re not threatened by.

Brooke: No, I’m not. I am not threatened by that kiss. Am I happy about it? No, absolutely not. But I’m confident in my marriage with ridge. I know that he loves me, and I’m– I’m sure that we’re gonna recommit sometime soon.

Taylor: Yeah, you must be confident to randomly attack his son.

Brooke: First of all, it’s not random, and it’s not an attack. This is a warning. Douglas is living in a very secure, loving home. And there is no way that I’m gonna let thomas take douglas away from hope.

Hope: I just– I just wanna make sure that we have the same expectations. I want to believe that you’re just talking about one night, but now that I know you want douglas to live with you permanently, I–

Thomas: For right now, it’s just one night, and he is going to have a blast. Okay? Now, we’ll worry about everything else later.

Thomas: You know how much I love my son. How much I miss him. And you heard him, he misses me.

Hope: And I’ve been supportive of the two of you spending as much time together as possible, but this is his home.

Thomas: This has been his home, and it– it’s been a fantastic home. You and liam have done an amazing job with douglas, but– look, I will always be grateful that you are his mother, but he also has a father. And lately, I felt like an absentee one. Okay? I get to show up, and I– I play ball with him, and I give him ice cream, and then I send him along his merry way. And it’s like– it’s– it’s time to change that. It’s time for douglas to live with me. And he’s a forrester, after all. He should be with his forrester family.

Taylor: Why are you doing this? You have no say in what thomas and hope decide to do.

Brooke: The decision was already made. Back when thomas realized that douglas needed a reliable parent in the home.

Taylor: Yet that decision was encouraged by hope. I understand. I do. But thomas was in a very fragile place, and it was only supposed to be a temporary living situation while thomas got his life together, which he has done very successfully, I might add.

Brooke: Even if that were true, I have a hard time believing it. And I think you’re a little bit too biased to see things clearly. Douglas cannot be yanked out of his home. And you, as a psychiatrist, I would think that you would know that!

Taylor: Don’t pull that card. Listen, I would never do anything to harm my grandson. But as a psychiatrist, I do think that it is far more dangerous for douglas to not be living–

Brooke: Douglas is not being pulled out of the home. I won’t allow it.

Taylor: I’m sorry, you– you won’t allow it?

Brooke: Absolutely not.

Sheila: Ah. Not kicking me out so fast anymore, are you?

Deacon: You know what? You know what?

Sheila: But as for the amount of cash, well–

Deacon: Never mind. Stop. Stop. Just– no, no. You know what? I– I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. I don’t even wanna know, all right? Is my life perfect? No, it’s not. But I like it the way it is. I’m working on trying to better myself, you know, make something out of myself. I– I got a good relationship with my daughter. Starting to get really solid. Hanging out with you is gonna ruin that.

Sheila: What exactly are you trying to say?

Deacon: I think I’m exactly trying to say that you need to leave right now. Hi, I’m karen.

Hope: Well, douglas was just dropped off, so I think we should table this discussion for another time.

Thomas: We can’t keep putting this off. This is important, okay? We have to do what’s best for douglas.

Hope: And that is more time with you. I agree. I understand how valuable those father-son moments are, but the place that he calls home, I just– I don’t want that to change. Here is where it’s best for him.

Douglas: Hey, dad!

Thomas: Hey, come here! Did you have fun over at eli’s?

Douglas: Yeah, his dad took us to the zoo.

Hope: Oh. Did you remember to say thank you?

Douglas: I did.

Thomas: Good man.

Douglas: I didn’t know you’d be here. Do you have time to play catch?

Thomas: I’d love to play catch, but actually, first, um, I– I have a question for you.

Taylor: Yeah. Brooke, I– I understand that– that you’re very worried about hope. And I am very worried about douglas. But I also know that– that– that hope loves douglas so much, and I am sure that she would want him to have a very close and loving relationship with his father. Don’t you?

Brooke: Everyone wants that.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: As long as thomas is worthy.

Taylor: Worthy, really? He has worked so hard to get to where he is.

Brooke: My daughter’s worked hard to raise his child, while he’s off trying to get better.

Taylor: His child. His child. You just said it. Douglas is thomas’s son, and you don’t have any right to say when they see each other.

Brooke: Well, this really isn’t about saying, this is about living. We’re talking about where douglas lives. And if there’s any question at all, even in the slightest, that thomas doesn’t have douglas’s best interests at heart–

Taylor: Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Do not question his character.

Brooke: Oh, my god, how can I not? After everything he’s done through the years.

[ Taylor scoffs ]

Taylor: Oh, that is ironic. Hello, pot, meet kettle.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

Taylor: I need you to stop, now. Okay? Do you have any idea how much my family has been through recently?

Brooke: Yes, I do. And it’s been horrific. But the pain that steffy and finn have felt, that has nothing to do with you snatching douglas out of his home.

Taylor: Okay.

[ Taylor sighs ] It’s not what we’re doing. It’s not what we’re doing. Ridge and I are just laser-focused on our family right now. We just–

Brooke: Wait. Ridge and I? Ridge is my husband, not yours.

Sheila: You– you like the way your life is? Seriously.

Deacon: Look around, sheila. Do you see any bars? Any guards? I got my freedom, so you know what? Yeah, I like it a lot.

Sheila: Oh my god, you’ve got your freedom, but what are you doing with it, deacon? What– you’re living in a place like this, playing busboy?

Deacon: Not a lot of people would take a chance on an ex-con. I figured you’d know that. Speaking of which, how do you have all this supposed money?

Sheila: Well, you know what, I would think that you would know better by now than to question my ways.

[ Sheila scoffs ] You used to be successful. You had your own nightclub, deacon, you– you had your own design company. And you were a force to be reckoned with, and– and look at you now. You’re barely getting by. I can change that for you.

Deacon: I don’t need to change.

Sheila: Need? Okay. What about want? I can set you up with everything you desire. You– you want new clothes? You want furniture? A trip, maybe a new car. It’s like you said, these opportunities don’t come along very often, especially for guys like you. Opportunity doesn’t come knocking on that door, and yet here I am at your door. Knock, knock.

Deacon: I– I don’t know, sheila.

Sheila: Come on, think of all the perks that I come with. Don’t make me leave. Please don’t send me away. One prilosec otc in the morning

[ Birds chirping ]

Thomas: I’ve actually got some news. Um, great-grandad asked me if I could move in with him.

Douglas: Really? Cool. His pool is awesome.

Thomas: Yeah, right? I mean, I’ll probably just jump in there as soon as we get home, actually. And you know what’d make it even more awesome, is if you join me.

Douglas: Yeah!

Thomas: Awesome! Well, I thought we could make a night of it, right? You could come over, we’ll hang out. He’s got plenty of space, obviously so much to do. And in the morning, we could take a dip then, too.

Douglas: That would be so fun. Can I? Please, mom, can I spend the night with dad?

Taylor: Why? Why do you have to tell me that ridge is your husband every chance you get?

Brooke: Taylor! If you don’t wanna be reminded, don’t give me reason to have to!

Taylor: Saying “ridge and I” was not meant to trigger you like this. Although I understand that you’re threatened, even though you say you’re not. Ridge and I have a core family that we need to nurture, just like you and ridge do. And you and eric. And– and you and deacon. But I digress, just– brooke, put yourself in our shoes, please. We’ve been very worried and we’re just coming down off of everything that happened with steffy and the kids.

Brooke: We’ve all been very worried. And that has nothing to do with douglas.

Taylor: Oh, but it does. See, because we got to witness a miracle happen for steffy and her family was reunited again, so naturally, ridge and i want the same thing for thomas. You know, douglas has been living over in the… cabin over there for a very long time now.

Brooke: Yes. With hope. His mother.

Taylor: And now it’s time for my grandson to live with his father.

[ Brooke laughs ] Day in and day out.

Brooke: No. No, that is not happening.

Taylor: See, but it is happening. It’s happening tonight at eric’S.

Brooke: No, that can’t happen. Thomas can’t do that to hope, or to douglas. Douglas already lost a mother. So, thomas thinks it’s fine that he loses another?

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: You think it’s fine?

Taylor: Wow. You know, brooke. Caroline died. Hope is very much alive, and she’s not going anywhere. And she is more than welcome to– to– to engage in douglas’s life as much as she wants to. We want that. This is just about where douglas lives and sleeps, that’s it.

Brooke: Well, he sleeps at home. Where he feels very safe, and secure, and comfortable. With hope, and liam, and beth. Douglas is not leaving his mother, or his sister. He’s not.

Sheila: It’s not too late to do something with your life, deacon. Something that’s gonna make your daughter proud.

Deacon: She is proud of me.

Sheila: Oh, yeah, right. Because you’re no longer in prison. Yeah, proud. But what about if you gave her something to see that you are successful pursuing a dream? I can invest in that. I can invest in your future, I– do you really wanna walk away from free money?

Deacon: Free? Sheila, helping you? That could cost me a lot.

Sheila: Look, hope would never have to know about our agreement. That would stay between us.

Deacon: You know, I could follow my own dreams without your money, thank you very much.

Sheila: Well, how? I mean, do you have any kind of savings? To buy a suit, let alone groceries. I mean– here I am with a life-changing offer. So, without me, what do you even have?

Deacon: I’ve got my freedom. You should know how valuable that is.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I want my freedom, too. I don’t want to go back to prison, but I– and I don’t want to keep running either. That– that life is just too lonely.

Deacon: Fine, stay out of prison. But why here? Why me?

Sheila: I think last night answered that question. (Vo) when you live with moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Douglas: Can I, mom? Please, can I spend the night with dad? I always have so much fun when I’m there, and I promise I’ll say thank you to great-grandad.

Hope: Oh! Well, then, in that case, of course you can go with your dad.

Thomas: What?!

Douglas: Yes!

Hope: For the night.

Douglas: Oh, thank you so much.

Hope: Of course, sweetie. Now, I already packed your bag, but double check that I didn’t forget anything?

Douglas: Okay!

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: Oh, don’t forget, swimsuit.

Hope: Oh, yeah.

[ Hope laughs awkwardly ]

Thomas: You saw how excited he was?

Hope: Yes, but–

Thomas: Hey, it’s all gonna work out, okay?

Hope: Yeah, well, as long as we remember that this is just for the night and not any sort of long-term change. This is douglas’s home.

Taylor: We all believe that this is the best thing for thomas and douglas.

Brooke: We?

Taylor: Yes.

Brooke: You, thomas and steffy. I mean, that’s hardly “all,” “we all”–

Taylor: And ridge. Brooke, he told me that he talked to you about this, that he shared his feelings and how he felt about douglas and thomas reuniting.

Brooke: I don’t think this is really about douglas at all. I think this is about you wanting to take douglas away from my daughter, and also driving a wedge between ridge and me.

Taylor: Oh, brooke, no. You’re doing a fine job of that all on your own.

Brooke: This really isn’t about douglas at all, is it?

Taylor: You think that I would use my grandson to try to get ridge back?

Brooke: I think that’s exactly what you’re doing. But it won’t work. You’re not gonna take douglas. You’re not gonna do that to hope. And you certainly are not going to do that to me. Sheila: Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve shared myself with a man? And last night… that went beyond any expectations I had. And I think you enjoyed yourself, too. You see, all you had to do was give us a chance.

Deacon: Yeah, well, I didn’t know it was you.

Sheila: Hmm, kinda kinky, but I– I think you like that, don’t you? Don’t give up on me. I’ll be anything. Anything you want. Just don’t turn me in. And don’t turn me away. All right, you know what? Um… if– if you– if you want to turn me in, go ahead, your phone is right there. Although it could cost you your freedom as well. A parolee harboring a– a fugitive. You may end up going back to prison, too, but– but you go right ahead. I mean, if– if that’s what you want, and you don’t wanna take a chance on me, then go ahead. Pick it up.

Deacon: Can’t risk it.

Sheila: Smart decision.

Deacon: Is it?

Sheila: Yeah, but I just have one more question. What side of the bed do you want?

[ Knocking ]

Jordan: Officer. I gotta let him in.

Sheila: You can’t do that! If he sees me, I go back to prison and so do you.

[ Knocking ]

Hope: Thomas will be here any minute.

Brooke: So he’s taking douglas to eric’S.

Hope: Yes. But just for the night. And normally I wouldn’t give that a second thought. He’s done overnights and weekends before, but now knowing that thomas wants him to live with him full time, I’m just trying really hard not to freak out.

Brooke: Honey, it’s going to be okay. Douglas’ home is here with you. We’re not gonna let anybody take him away.

[ Hope sighing ]

Eric: No, donna, I don’t think so.

Donna: Working from the pool is still working from home.

Eric: Yeah, but if you’re in the pool, I won’t get any work done.

Donna: I’m not gonna distract you. I’m– I’m just gonna lie on my float and soak up the sun. Hm?

Eric: What, you don’t see how– how– how– how that might be a distraction to me?

Donna: Or motivating. The sooner you get work done the sooner you can join me.

Eric: Mm-hm. You see, even you describing that to me is a distraction.

Donna: Ah! Well, I’m not gonna apologize for that one.

Eric: I don’t think you should.

Donna: No?

Eric: Mn-mn. Come here. Come here.

[ Donna moaning ]

[Door opening]

Taylor: Um, oops. Um, okay. Ah. Sorry about that.

Thomas: Yeah. I– I– I told you that we should’ve called.

Taylor: Uh, yeah.

Donna: Oh, it’s okay.

Eric: No, not at all. I– I’m delighted to see you.

Ridge: ‘Cause it almost seems we’re interrupting something.

Eric: We were just planning what to do with the rest of our day. Where’s douglas?

Donna: Uh, yeah, I thought he was spending the night.

Thomas: Yeah, he is. I’m about to head over and grab him.

Eric: Well, I’m very that– that you’re going to be staying here.

Taylor: We are so excited, too. You know, this is long overdue. Douglas finally gets to spend time with his father.

Hope: If he wants ton just spend more time with him, then he can and we can work something out. It’s just… this is his home. Douglas is happy here.

Brooke: Unfortunately, thomas, taylor and steffy wanna change that. They wanna take douglas away from you.

Hope: Okay, well, then I don’t understand that. Because they have so much to celebrate right now. Why start to start a fight?

Brooke: I don’t know. I– I think it’s taylor. Well, I won’t allow it. Something has to be done.

Hope: But I don’t want douglas to pick up on any tension between us.

Brooke: Okay. Yeah. That is why I’m going to handle this. Right now.

Taylor: I cannot think of a better place for thomas and douglas to spend more time together than right here.

Eric: I want the two of you to feel absolutely at home here at the house.

Thomas: Thanks, granddad. I appreciate that.

Taylor: Yeah, really, thank you. Thank you for making it so easy for thomas and his son to reunite. It’s such a gift. And you know what? We’re just gonna see how it goes, okay? We’ll see how it goes. Maybe this will turn into more than just a night here and there. And you guys can live together, and you know, really bond.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Eric: I remember how close the two of you were when caroline first passed away.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. But, um, I– I’m in a much better place now. Thanks to you.

Taylor: Well, we were all here to support you, sweetheart. You know what? I’m gonna go.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: Um, thank you again, eric. And bye, donna.

Donna: Bye.

Taylor: Did you get the uh–

Ridge: Is this it?

Taylor: That’s the one. Okay, thanks. Bye.

Ridge: Okay, bye.

[ Knocking ]

Jordan: Deacon, it’s jordan. Let me in. We have an appointment.

Sheila: Oh, god. You were expecting him?

Deacon: He’s parole. I– I– it’s a residence check. Yeah, jordan. Just give me a second, okay?

[Mouthing] You. Hide.

Sheila: [Mouthing] Where?

Deacon: Go to the bathroom. Right now. Be quiet. Don’t make a sound. Hey, jordan. Sorry to keep you waiting. Come on in.

Jordan: There a problem?

Deacon: No. No problem.

Jordan: You got nothing to hide? Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

Deacon: Have anything to hide? Come on, no, jordan.

Jordan: If you are hiding something, it’s not gonna be funny, deacon. You seem a little nervous.

Deacon: Just kind of embarrassed. You know, I mean, place is a mess. Got my parole officer coming over, I wanted things to be immaculate.

Jordan: You oversleep?

Deacon: Yeah, I didn’t mean to. I– I hung out after work.

Jordan: Still working downstairs?

Deacon: Yup. Hey, I even got a raise. Uh, it’s allowed me to afford this luxury penthouse.

Jordan: Following protocol? Staying clean?

Deacon: Yeah. I’m– I’m working long shifts. Uh, you know, I spend time with my– my daughter, my granddaughter.

Jordan: No drugs?

Deacon: No, sir.

Jordan: Staying away from criminal elements?

Deacon: That was the old me. You know, I– I’m a family man now. I’m just, you know, mr. Up and up.

Jordan: Anything else you want to tell me?

[Clattering]

Jordan: What was that? Is there somebody in the bathroom?

[ Knocking ]

Hope: It’s open.

Thomas: Hey. Did you get my text?

Hope: Uh, yeah, thanks for letting me know you were on your way.

Thomas: Sure. I just wanted to give douglas time to get his stuff together. Is, uh, liam helping him pack?

Hope: Uh, no, liam’s actually at work. And there really wasn’t that much to pack because it’s just an overnight.

Thomas: Uh, yeah. I mean, we’re spending time over at granddad’s, like I said. Um, is he ready?

Hope: Douglas isn’t here.

Ridge: It’s probably good that we’re discussing this on our own.

Eric: Yeah, well, believe me, donna would much rather be out there alone than to come between you and her sister.

Ridge: I don’t want that either.

Eric: So how does brooke feel about this? Uh, she can’t be thrilled about it.

Ridge: No.

Eric: What about hope? Uh, wouldn’t hope rather that douglas stay there with them?

Ridge: Sure she would. Look–

[ Sighing ] Douglas lived there for a long time. It was good for him. But now, this is gonna be good for him. Spending time with his dad. Thomas and hope, I… they’ll figure something out.

Eric: If they don’t, it’s gonna be a big conflict for you.

Ridge: It’s already a conflict.

Eric: You don’t want to be caught between brooke and taylor, do you?

Taylor: Yeah. I mean, it would be great to find an assistant that actually stays at their desk.

[ Knocking ]

Taylor: Um, come in. Yeah, if you find anybody that would be awesome. Just, you know, give me a call. I– I definitely appreciate it. Okay. Thank you. Okay, bye-bye. Look at you, knocking.

Brooke: Hello, taylor. Are you busy?

Taylor: Am I busy? Why are you being so nice? Who are you?

Brooke: I know what you did in monaco. You kissed ridge.

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Thomas: Douglas isn’t here?

Hope: Oh, no, no. He’s still over at eli’S. His mom said that the pizza was running late.

Thomas: Oh, okay. So he’ll– he’ll be here soon.

Hope: Yeah. I– I hope that’s not a problem. It kinda gives us a chance to talk.

Thomas: Sure. I– I don’t have any like crazy plans. Just hanging out at the house.

Hope: Is eric going to be there?

Thomas: Yeah. He’s actually really excited to see us both.

Thomas: I– look, hope, I– I know… I know that this is all a little bit sudden, but it’s really not that big of a deal. And for right now, it’s just a night over at granddad’s house. That’s it.

Hope: Thomas, I’ve been thinking a lot about the things you’ve been saying lately about how you’re feeling and the role that you play in your son’s life and I– I know that we agreed to this overnight, but you’re still really wishing it were more than that, aren’t you?

Brooke: Must have been completely overwhelming to find out that finn was alive. Can only imagine what it was like for you and ridge.

Taylor: Ridge told me that he shared with you with everything that happened. But, I mean, I’m happy to tell you again. So ridge and I were, um, feeling very helpless, uh, about our daughter’s depression, and then out of nowhere, finn shows up. And– and steffy’s life and her family was back together again and it… and…

Brooke: And I’m very happy for them. I am. I’m happy for the family. But I do know that the way you chose to celebrate, by kissing my husband. That was totally out of line.

Jordan: Deacon? Do you have someone over?

Sheila: [Southern accent] Deacon, sugar, is your parole officer here?

[ Deacon sighing ]

Jordan: Who’s that?

[ Deacon sighing ]

Sheila: I’m so sorry. I’m– I’m deacon’s lady-friend. I– I don’t mean to be rude, but you caught me in the bathtub.

[ Deacon scoffing ]

Jordan: Your girlfriend. You’re in a relationship now?

Deacon: I–

Jordan: I asked you what’s new.

Deacon: I know, uh, I was raised not to kiss and tell, you know.

Sheila: He’s such a gentleman. I’m so sorry, I’m just– I’m gonna let you gentlemen get back to your business.

Deacon: Can we do that? Can we just, you know, ignore her?

Jordan: Is she living with you? ‘Cause I need to make a note of that. Uh, get a name. Some background information.

Deacon: No! No, no, no. It’s not like that. She’s– we spent the night together. You know how it is. This is not gonna be a regular thing.

Jordan: She doesn’t have a record, does she?

Deacon: No.

Jordan: Because that would be a problem. I need to know who you’re associating with.

[ Phone ringing ]

Jordan: Ah. Uh, sorry. My kid’s school. Hello. Ms. Arbor? Uh, no, suzy didn’t have a fever this morning.

[ Sighing ] Uh, okay. I’ll be right there. I have to go.

Deacon: Okay, I hope everything’s all right.

Jordan: Yeah. Listen, deacon. You’re on the right track. One of my better parolees. Making good life choices. So if you and this woman have something, maybe give it a shot. With the right person, a– a new relationship could be a good influence on you. Okay.

Sheila: Hey, sugar. Is he gone?

Deacon: What the hell were you thinking?

Sheila: Yeah, it was close. You know what you need? I think we both need to slip into a nice, hot bath. Girls trip.

Thomas: Hey, hope, I can see you’re obviously a little nervous about this whole thing. Yes, I do think that douglas should live with me full time.

Hope: And you’re saying I shouldn’t be worried about that?

Thomas: No. I’m his father. I love douglas more than anything in the world.

Hope: I know, thomas. I know that you love him. And I know that douglas loves you. It’s just, you’re– you’re talking about pulling him away from– from the home that he’s known, and–

Thomas: Right. I– look. I’m– I’m talking about stepping up. And being a father to him like I always wanted to be. And he misses me, hope. You heard him.

Hope: Then, I will be happy to give you two more time together.

Thomas: Give us?

Hope: Yes. I will do whatever it is you need me to do for you two to be able to spend more time together, just on his schedule here in his home. Because this is where he belongs.

Taylor: Take a seat, brooke.

Brooke: Gladly. When you first came back into town, you said you didn’t want to interfere in my marriage. I was hoping that was true.

Taylor: It was.

Brooke: Yeah? Well, sheila drove us apart. But you were right there.

Taylor: To be completely accurate, ridge was right here. I just offered my comfort and support.

Brooke: Mm. And that’s what you do best. You’re the ex-wife who is ridge’s best friend. But I think that’s changed. You’ve changed.

Taylor: I really have changed.

Brooke: Yeah. You want something more, don’t you?

Taylor: I want more for ridge. He is so unsettled. You have put him through so much.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: There you go. Least I’m getting the truth out of you.

Taylor: I’ve always said this. It’s just that ridge is now starting to realize that he’s spinning his wheels with you. He’s always stuck in the same situations over and over, and brooke, he’s tired. And I’ve noticed a change in him since I’ve been back. But definitely noticed a change when we were in monaco. He wants to be there for his children. His children that he has neglected for so long. Because of you. Thomas needs him and steffy needs him.

Brooke: Okay, wait, hang on. The– the kids don’t need him. The family doesn’t need him. You need him, taylor. You.

Taylor: Oh, I don’t need him. I want him. To be happy. Now, you came by because you’re threatened about the kiss that ridge and I shared, right?

Brooke: No. Absolutely not. I’m not threatened by that kiss at all. But what does bother me is the way you inject yourself into things that my family is dealing with. You know, namely my daughter and her children. That’s why I’m here. And I think you know what I’m talking about, taylor.

Taylor: My grandson. Douglas.

Brooke: Yes. Douglas. And there’s no way that I’m gonna let thomas pull douglas out of his house away from hope. It’s just not going to happen.

Deacon: Not in the mood for your jokes or a bath.

Sheila: Then maybe I should leave this off. You wanna get dirty?

Deacon: That was my parole officer. If he would’ve seen you, it would have been adios to my freedom and yours.

Sheila: Wh– it was an accident. I knocked over–

Deacon: No. No. No, no, no, no. Everything you do is intentional. Why the hell did you come back here? You should’ve headed for the border, you should have crossed and never looked back.

Sheila: And live for what? A life on my own? A life where I love no one? Have no one to love me? I– I’ve– I’ve already lived that life, deacon.

Deacon: What are you talking about? Oh, come– do you– do you actually believe that there’s a chance for you to have a relationship with finn after everything you’ve done?

Sheila: I– I– I– I just want to be close to my son and grandson and make sure that they’re all right.

Deacon: You just don’t get it, do you? They’re better off without you!

Sheila: You know, none of my other children want anything to do with me. This is all I have left, deacon. My last chance to actually make something good out of this miserable life of mine. Finn is– he’s a good man. And hayes is– is so beautiful. I’m a part of them. They’re a part of me.

Deacon: Sheila, you can’t stay here. All it’s gonna wind up doing is bringing trouble for you and for me.

Sheila: Trouble can be kind of exciting.

Deacon: No, no.

Sheila: It was last night.

Deacon: No, no, no, sheila. All right? Get your stuff, get changed, take my shirt off and go. There’s the door. I don’t wanna see you again.

Sheila: No. You don’t– you don’t mean that.

Deacon: Sheila, there is not a reason in this universe that I would let you stay here.

Sheila: You know what? I’ll give you a reason. I have money. A lot of it. Don’t ask me how. Tell me your number. Go ahead, deacon. Tell me what you need.

Deacon: How much do you got?

Deacon: No, no, no. The… this can’t– this can’t be. It can’t be. It can’t, there’s no way. It can’t be.

[ Deacon gasping ]

Sheila: Mama’s back.

Deacon: Sheila. Sheila!

[ Sheila cackling ]

[ Birds cawing ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hi. So, how was it?

Finn: Sun was out. The swell was sick. It was not a bad wave for my first day back on board–

Steffy: Aww. — Since, uh… anyway. I loved every second of it. I wish you’d come out with me next time.

Steffy: Yeah, well, talk to your son. He’s the reason I couldn’t join.

Finn: Hmm. Little guy’s still mad?

Steffy: Mm-hmm. But be forewarned. He did say before I put him down that he had a big day planned for the two of you.

Finn: Oh. Huh.

Steffy: But I did tell him that mommy gets dibs first.

Finn: And what did he say to that?

Steffy: He said change his diaper.

[ Both laughing ]

Finn: I got to say, as much as I miss the waves, it is nowhere near as much as I miss my gorgeous, talented, sexy wife.

Quinn: Are you having as much trouble as I am?

Carter: More.

Quinn: More? Well, I’m trying to concentrate, but I’m finding that it’S… getting really hard.

Carter: Me, too.

Quinn: Maybe we should do something about it before it drives us both crazy.

Carter: Oh, I’m already at the crazy mark.

Quinn: Oh, you are?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Quinn: So, uh, which one of us is going to bridge the divide?

Carter: Me.

Quinn: You? Why does it get to be you?

Carter: Because I’m on the edge.

Quinn: Well, stop talking and get over here.

[ Both moaning ]

Carter: I’ve been wanting to do that all morning.

Quinn: Oh, yeah?

Carter: Mm-hmm. I’ve been wanting to do this all morning.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Could’ve sworn this was my office.

[ Quinn clearing throat ]

Steffy: You should get out of this, uh, wetsuit.

Finn: You’re offering help?

Steffy: The surfer vibe you’re giving off is…

Finn: Hmm.

Steffy: You’ve come so far. You’re surfing again. You’re back at the hospital. It really feels that like our lives are finally back to where they were before that horrible night in the alley.

Finn: I was never going to give up on our life together. You’re– you’re what kept me going, all that time I was away. Your love kept me alive. It’s what keeps me alive.

Quinn: Is there a problem, ridge?

Ridge: Oh, I don’t know. I think it’s me. I just– never going to get used to my best friend making out with my ex-stepmother.

Carter: It was just a kiss.

Quinn: Hey, just a kiss?

Carter: It was a hell of a kiss.

Quinn: It was a hell of a–

Ridge: Can we stop doing that, please? Please, please. Find someone’s back seat. Please don’t do this here.

Quinn: Oh. ‘Cause you never do.

Ridge: It’s my house.

Carter: Okay. Okay. Let’s move it right along. There’s some things I want to go over with you– well, you and steffy if she’s coming in–

Ridge: She’s not coming in, she’s going to spend some time with finn and her family.

Carter: Okay. All right. Well, I– I thought she might have been coming in today.

Zende: Sorry to interrupt, is it true? I was out of town. I just heard about sheila. Killed by a bear? That’s freaking nuts.

Deacon: You’re supposed to be dead.

Sheila: Well, I’m not. Surprise.

Deacon: Wait, the– the cops said that you’re dead, you– you got attacked by a bear.

Sheila: The only thing that attacked me was you.

[ Laughing ] Here’s to real flavors…

Finn: I could just… I could hold you like this forever and never let go.

Steffy: I want you to hold me like this forever and never let me go. But kelly and hayes won’t allow it. Soon, hayes is going to be up from his nap, and kelly is going to be home from a friend’s house and it’s going to be complete kiddo chaos again.

Finn: Yeah. Yes, it will. But I love it. And our family time might be what I missed most while I was gone. Except this. This right here. This is what matters most.

Steffy: Oh. I feel the same way. And I know I’ve said this so many times, but having you back, our family together, it is– it’s everything. A sense of joy and relief. Not only from the kids, but from me, too. Just to know that we have a lifetime of memories ahead of us to make. Memories that are because of you. My incredibly brave husband. You stopped those bullets from sheila to save me.

Ridge: Oh, zende, not just any toe, her middle toe. See, sanchez knew it wasn’t gonna be enough to just show us some– the– the things that she left behind. Some blood on– on a phone or whatever. We needed something more conclusive.

Carter: Yeah. I see a torn off toe did that.

Zende: Does that mean– was that– the only thing left of dear departed sheila? Yep.

Ridge: Boom. Oh, uh, I have a picture of it. You want to see it?

Quinn: What? No.

Ridge: Hang on. Don’t judge me. Here.

[ All groaning ]

Ridge: You know why I have this? It’s a constant reminder that she’s gone, she’s not gonna hurt any of my eople ever again.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: Wow. You know, last night was incredible. But to leave you speechless? I guess I am that good.

Deacon: Everyone thinks you’re dead.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that was the plan. This whole getting mauled by a bear ruse was so that I could come back to L.A. To see you.

Deacon: You’re insane.

Sheila: Insanely good between the sheets.

Carter: I’m guessing that means police have closed the case, huh?

Ridge: Yeah, that’s what it means, carter.

Quinn: Well, sheila did her absolute worst, and she paid the price with her life.

Carter: How’s finn? I’m guessing he’s relieved, but still, sheila gave birth to him.

Quinn: Which is probably the only good thing she’s ever done in her entire life.

Ridge: She’d always say how much she loved that boy, right? And then she almost killed him.

Zende: And steffy.

Ridge: And steffy. If steffy had died, I would’ve hunted that woman down for the rest of her days.

Quinn: Well, luckily, you didn’t have to do that ’cause a bear beat you to it. And now steffy and finn are safe.

Ridge: And more in love than I’ve ever seen them.

Steffy: You really are my hero. Jumping in front of a gun, taking a bullet that was meant for me.

Finn: I’ll do it again in a heartbeat.

Steffy: One very close call is more than enough. Thank you. You are the most amazing husband and father and doctor. I will never, ever, ever stop thanking god for bringing you back to us. To me.

Sheila: What’s wrong? I’m not used to you being at a loss for words.

Deacon: It’s just that you look pretty damn good for someone who’s dead.

Sheila: Oh, I think I proved I’m anything but, over and over and over again last night. But if you still need more proof…

Deacon: Stop, just– just stop.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Now, all of a sudden, you’re scared of me? Oh, I can work with that.

Deacon: How?

Sheila: Well, I think that we can come up with–

Deacon: No, no, no, no. I mean, how did you– how did you do it? How did you convince everyone that you’re dead?

Sheila: When it comes to faking my own death, I take it very seriously. Yeah. I may have had to rip out some of my hair, tear my clothes, and a pint of my blood, but I had to make it look like a bear really did maul me.

[ Deacon scoffing ]

[ Sheila laughing ] Yeah, I– I knew that– that none of that was going to be enough, especially not for ridge and the forresters. I knew that they would need more, so I– I gave it to them. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Right? You remember the– the nursery rhyme? This little piggy went to market, this little–

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, yeah, roast beef and all that.

Sheila: Well, this little piggy had to go bye-bye.

Deacon: You did it yourself, you cut off your own toe?

[ Breath catching ]

[ Sighing ] (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Steffy: You know what?

Finn: What?

Steffy: I don’t want to talk about that awful night anymore. About sheila. She tried to destroy our lives. She tried to– she tried to take you away from me.

Finn: Honey, I would never let that happen. One way or another, I was going to find my way back to you. Because my life without you isn’t a life. It isn’t anything without you. We are going to raise our beautiful family. We’re going to make amazing memories. And we’re going to grow old together, hand in hand. More and more love each day for the rest of our lives.

Steffy: That’s what sheila never understood. The power of our love.

[ Steffy sighing ] She’s never going to hurt us again. Never.

Quinn: I know what it’s like, that feeling. Being more in love than ever.

Ridge: And what is that, exactly? Is that a dig at my dad?

Quinn: No. This has nothing to do with eric. I love your father. I will always love your father. But what carter and I have is… special.

Ridge: I wasn’t asking. I don’t– I’ve seen enough already. Can we just leave it alone?

Quinn: No. No. We are not hiding it from anyone ever again.

Ridge: I wish you would.

Carter: Can we get– can we get back to work?

Ridge: I would love that.

Carter: But one more thing. Um, look, I know how worried you were for steffy and the kids when you thought the worst had happened. But then the miracle of miracles, man. Finn is back with his loving wife, with the kids he adores. I know how happy you are, just as we are. I’m happy that sheila will never terrorize them or anyone ever again. It must be an overwhelming sense of relief for you.

Ridge: Overwhelming sense of relief, that’s exactly what it is. Well put. I’m relieved. Ding dong, sheila is dead.

Quinn: Hmm.

Deacon: You seriously cut off your own toe?

[ Deacon exhaling ]

Sheila: You know, it was the greatest physical pain I’ve ever experienced, but it– it was necessary and a small price to pay for my freedom.

Deacon: Your freedom?

Sheila: They were never going to stop looking for me, deacon. They were going to hunt me down like an animal until they caught me. And I– I am not– I’m not going to live that way anymore.

Deacon: This is living? Slicing and dicing body parts.

Sheila: They pushed me to my limits. Would you just stop looking at me like that? I’m– I’m not crazy anymore.

Deacon: Not crazy? You cut off your own toe.

Sheila: And I would do it again. You know what it’s like living behind bars like a caged animal and what it does to you. And I’m never going to do that again. I am never going back to prison.

Deacon: I just can’t even believe you’re here. I– I can’t believe I slept with you.

Sheila: Well, you know what? You did a lot more than sleep with me, big boy. Admit it. You had the time of your life.

Deacon: I didn’t know it was you.

Sheila: Well, now you do. I think that means that we can–

Deacon: Stop. Stop. Sheila, why did you come here? You know I’m on parole. I mean, if anybody thought that I was– I was hanging out with you, I’d go right back to the slammer.

Sheila: Then don’t tell anyone. They all think I’m dead, remember? And you can’t send me away because I have nowhere else to go. And there is no one that understands me the way that you do.

[ Knocking on door ]

Jordan: Hey, deacon,

it’s jordan, your parole

officer. Open up.

Sheila: Oh, my god. I need you– you can’t turn me in. Please don’T. Don’t give me up, please.

Jordan: Deacon, open up now.

[Deacon sighing]

Deacon: Daddy’s back. Mm.

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

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

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

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

Brooke: I totally agree with you.

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

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

Steffy: Uh-huh.

Taylor: Not a security guard in sight!

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

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

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

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

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

Deacon: There she is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: Oh! Your favorite subject.

Taylor: Ha! Sometimes.

Ridge. Sometimes? All the time, surely.

Steffy: Depends on the day.

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

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

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

Steffy: I can only imagine how it went.

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

Steffy: Of course she is.

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

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

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

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

Debra: You have no idea, darling.

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

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

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

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Yes, of course.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Brooke sighing ]

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

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

Hope: Wait, waiting to strike again?

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

Hope: So, something already happened?

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

Hope: Mm-hmm.

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

Steffy: You came clean about your kiss with mom?

Ridge: Yeah! Had to be honest with brooke.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Taylor clearing throat ]

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

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

Ridge: What are you doing?

Steffy: I’m just–

Ridge: Just naming names now? Is that?

Steffy: Yeah, well–

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

Ridge: Wow.

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

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

Steffy: Brooke has let you–

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

Steffy: If she–

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

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

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

Hope: Ridge and taylor kissed?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I–

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

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

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

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

Ridge: That was, um…

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

Ridge: Yeah, I’m sure.

Taylor: Hey.

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

Ridge: So am I.

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

[ Both chuckling ]

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles softly ]

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I have, too.

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

Ridge: I don’t think you are.

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

Ridge: Hmm.

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Sheila carter is dead.

Deacon: Unbelievable. Killed by a bear.

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

Deacon: No. No, no, no.

Deacon: This can’t– this can’t be.

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

Sheila: Momma’s back!

[ Giggling ] Ooh. Oh…

[ Dramatic music ]

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

Brooke: Okay.

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

Brooke: So taylor kissed you.

Ridge: We kissed each other.

Brooke: Ah. Yeah. It’s mutual.

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

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

Taylor: Did you get the kids to sleep?

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

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

Steffy: Good times.

Taylor: The best.

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

[ Knock on door ]

Hope: It’s open!

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Hey.

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

Hope: Huh, seriously.

Thomas: You got a sec?

Hope: Hmm. Yeah, what’s up?

Thomas: I’m here to talk about douglas.

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

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

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

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

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

Bartender: Hey, you might want to slow down.

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

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

Deacon: What are you talking about?

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

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

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

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

Thomas: I hope this isn’t a bad time.

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

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

Steffy: You know what I think?

[ Taylor laughing]

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

Steffy: I am.

[ Taylor laughing ]

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

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

Steffy: Not for long.

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

Steffy: Do both.

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

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

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

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

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

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Douglas’ well-being is most important.

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Mm, not exactly. It was epic.

Steffy: Mom.

[ Taylor laughing ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: So eric supports you uprooting douglas?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Yes?

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

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Well, I love you more than anything.

Ridge: Yeah?

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

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: Mm-hm.

Ridge: And thank you.

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

Now glossy hair starts

with your shampoo.

Deacon: All right. Come on. [Indistinct]

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

Hope: He’s treated douglas like his own.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Oh.

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

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

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

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

[ Contemplative music ]

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

Ridge: Douglas hasn’t lost thomas.

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

Taylor: Of course he does.

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

Waiter: Your salad, ma’am.

Brooke: Thank you.

Waiter: Would you like some fresh ground pepper?

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

Hope: No and neither did liam.

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

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

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

Bill: Lies in a relationship are like poison.

Li: So, you know.

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

Li: Were you the betrayer or the betrayed?

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

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

Bill: So you and jack are over?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: You haven’T.

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

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

Li: What about your wife?

Bill: Katie and i aren’t married.

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Is he home?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eric: You were?

Ridge: Talking about your house actually

Eric: My house?

Thomas: Uh-huh. What about it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

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

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

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

Ridge: Wisest man I know.

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

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

Eric: And you and yours as well.

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah.

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

Eric: I miss that, too.

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

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

Thomas: Really?

Eric: Come on.

Thomas: Awesome! Thank you!

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

Ridge: I know.

Hope: This was the last thing I was expecting.

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

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

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

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

Li: Irreconcilable differences.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: Hi.

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

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

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

Ridge: Is everything okay?

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

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

Brooke: I agree.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Li: Oh. I was an exception?

Bill: You were in tremendous distress.

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

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

Li: You saved my life and my son’S.

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Honey, you don’t–

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

[Kettle whistling]

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

Ridge: Uh, we do.

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

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

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

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

Brooke: I know.

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

Brooke: You what? What?

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

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

Ridge: I don’t know.

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

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

Taylor: It’s totally inappropriate.

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

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Right?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: Mighty fine weather we’re having.

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

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

Deacon: Because of me?

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

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

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

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

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

Li: And you have earned mine.

Deacon: I don’t wanna argue about ridge.

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

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

Brooke: What– what are you talking about?

Deacon: Hope, tell your– tell your mother.

Brooke: What? What’s going on?

Hope: It’s nothing as of yet.

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

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

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

Steffy: I sense a but coming.

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

Ridge: Oh, yeah.

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

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

Taylor: What is with these two?

Ridge: They’re relentless. It’s–

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

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

[ Phone chiming ]

Thomas: Huh.

Ridge: What? Some good news?

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

Ridge: Go. Don’t let us stop you.

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

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

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: [Indistinct] Dad, I got you.

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

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

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

Taylor: What is it? What’s wrong?

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

Steffy: You should never have to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: I know.

Brooke: To where?

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

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

Hope: That’s what it sounded like.

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

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

Brooke: But does thomas see it that way?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: Sorry to hear that.

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

Bill: With sheila carter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Why would she wanna put it off?

Thomas: She didn’t want douglas overhear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Dramatic music ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: Everything okay at home?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bartender: Nice. Bathrooms?

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

Bartender: Alley?

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

Bartender: Sure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Thank you for everything, detective.

Finn: What happens now?

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

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

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

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

Sanchez: I have to get back to the precinct.

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

Sanchez: Thank you. Have a good day.

Li: Thank you.

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

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

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

Taylor: Um, something… grisly.

Steffy: We have some news.

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

Steffy: Um.

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

Steffy: A toe.

Thomas: What?

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

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

Steffy: Sheila’s dead.

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

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

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

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

Bill: This is a welcomed surprise, li.

Li: I hope I’m not interrupting.

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

Li: I think so, yes.

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

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

[ Sigh ] We owe you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor: But this is different. It is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Li: The alley behind the restaurant at the wharf?

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

Li: Brought me here. Took care of me.

Bill: I really didn’t do much.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Deacon: I’m happy to do it.

Liam: Yeah, I bet you are.

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

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

Brooke: Oh.

Deacon: Hey.

Brooke: Hello, everybody.

Hope: Mom, what are you doing here?

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

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

Brooke: Yes, I’m– I’m okay.

Deacon: Okay.

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

Deacon: What– what is going on?

Liam: Yeah. What happened?

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

Hope: They arrested her?

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

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

Taylor: Oh. Come on. Why?

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

Thomas: That feels good, actually.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thomas: She also shot him.

Taylor: Yeah, but she gave birth to him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: Oh, my god.

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

Hope: And sheila’s toe was it?

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

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

Thomas: Sheila gone from all our lives?

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

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

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

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

Steffy: Mom and dad kissed.

Thomas: What? Really? That’s awesome.

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

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

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

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

[Finn chuckling]

Finn: Last night was… incredible.

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

Finn: It really happened.

[Steffy laughs]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Hope chuckles]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: What about sheila?

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

Can’t seem to find him.

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

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

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

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

[Brooke sighing]

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

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

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

Thomas: Knock, knock.

Hope: Oh, hey, thomas.

Liam: Hey!

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

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

Thomas: Cool. Good to see you guys.

Liam: Yeah, you too.

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

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

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

Finn: Oh, we will.

Steffy: Oh.

[Knocking] Mm. That’s my mom, honey.

Steffy: Mm.

Finn: Hey, mom.

Li: Sweetheart. How are you feeling?

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

Li: Nice to see you, steffy.

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

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

[Phone rings]

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Brooke.

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

Steffy: On sheila?

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

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

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

Steffy: Okay. Yes.

Thomas: Sheila can’t keep running forever.

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

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

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

Liam: There’s some words to live by.

Hope: The kids!

Thomas: There they are. Hey!

Hope: Hi, sweetie!

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

Douglas: Yeah, and we played jump rope.

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

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

Hope: Oh, we are excited, too.

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

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

Liam: See you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, see ya.

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

Hope: Mm, he is, isn’t he?

Liam: Because of you.

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

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

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

Taylor: Okay, so– so what’s the news?

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

Eric: Yeah.

[Taylor sighing]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: Detective sanchez, welcome.

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

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

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

Steffy: Do you know where she is?

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

[Hope sighs]

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

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

[Hope laughs] So…

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

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

Hope: It did.

Liam: Hey. How’d it go?

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

Hope: Oh, atta boy, kiddo! Yes!

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

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

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

Douglas: That would be awesome.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Um, yeah, it would.

Douglas: Um, thanks for helping me, dad.

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

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

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

Douglas: Yeah.

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

Finn: You found sheila?

Li: You have her in custody.

Detective sanchez: I didn’t say that.

Taylor: What are you saying?

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

Steffy: You lost track of her?

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

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

Finn: That’s her.

Taylor: What does this mean, exactly?

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

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

Eric: Evidence like what?

Detective sanchez: Someone was attacked by a bear.

Taylor: A bear?

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you serious?

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

Finn: Wait, is– so this is–

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

Eric: Wait, what– what’s left of her?

Li: Everything’s ripped to shreds.

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

Finn: Oh, man.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

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

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

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

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

Douglas: But I want to play with dad.

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

Douglas: Oh. Oh, okay.

Thomas: Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: He would never feel that way.

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: We will.

[Hope sighs]

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

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

Liam: No– I– I know.

Douglas: Where– where’s dad?

> Hope: Oh. Um–

Liam: Uh…

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

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

[Brooke sighs]

Eric: Is this for real?

Li: She was mauled by a bear?

Taylor: How do you know it’s sheila?

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

Finn: So what are you saying?

Taylor: Are you saying that sheila’s dead?

Steffy: She’s gone for good.

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

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

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

Eric: What is this?

Detective sanchez: It’s another piece of evidence.

Taylor: Is– is that a–?

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

Brooke: Oh. Oh. Oh, my god.

Steffy: Are you okay?

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

Taylor: It’s over. It’s finally over.

Brooke: All the pain that she’s caused.

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

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

Stephanie: Ah!

Finn: Who are you?

Sheila: I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my mother?

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

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

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

Taylor: It always means something.

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I am extremely grateful for all of that.

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

Liam: How long are the kids gonna be out?

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

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

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

Liam: Oh yeah, like what?

Hope: Mmm…

[ Sighs ]

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

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

Taylor: We had a moment.

Steffy: Just a moment?

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

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

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

Finn: Hey, I’m back.

Steffy: Don’t say anything about li

Taylor: Of course not.

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: How was your appointment?

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

Steffy: Okay, what happened with your exam?

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

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

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

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

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

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

[ Taylor stammers ]

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

Ridge: It’s true.

Brooke: Is it sheila?

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

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

Ridge: So am I. I am too.

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

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

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

Ridge: Yeah, it was.

Without the right start

to your day…

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: I never want this to change.

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: It’s just a lot to process.

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

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

Taylor: Well, it’s–

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

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

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

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

Steffy yeah, but then you guys went to monaco.

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

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

Taylor: She probably fell on purpose.

Steffy: That’s true

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

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

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

Steffy: I love you so much.

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

Finn: I like the way your mom thinks.

Steffy: So do I.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Finn: We’re alone.

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

Finn: What? That’s not obvious?

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

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

Steffy: Not if there’s something wrong.

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

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

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

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

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

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

Steffy: Good. I’m glad to hear it.

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

Liam: Oh, no, no, no, no, it’s fine.

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

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

Liam: Really? Why? What’s going on?

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

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

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

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Hey, you’re back. Hi.

Taylor: Hi. Is this a bad time?

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

Taylor: Yeah? Tell me more.

Steffy: Whoa.

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

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

Liam: Ridge has gotta be thrilled though.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I bet it is.

Taylor: You’re welcome to join us anytime.

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

Taylor: Yeah. You miss it?

Ridge: Yeah.

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

Ridge: Why not this afternoon?

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

Ridge: Oh!

Taylor: Yeah, so–

Ridge: That’s, that’s why you’re here

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

Ridge: Enough said. Got it.

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

Steffy: I thought I lost you

Finn: But you didn’t and you won’T.

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

Li: I was fighting to keep my son alive.

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Steffy’s world is right again.

Ridge: And her mother can’t stop smiling.

Taylor: Well, neither can her father.

Ridge: Feels good, doesn’t it?

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

Ridge: Doesn’t get better than that.

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

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

Hope: Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: Taylor, too.

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

Ridge: You wanna talk about the kiss?

>>Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: I… I…

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

Ridge: Well, I can’t do that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: And love.

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

Ridge: We did, I agree.

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

Ridge: But you want to go check on them–

Taylor: I’m dying.

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

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

Hope: Are you sure?

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

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

Steffy: All I ever did was love your son.

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Steffy? Is everything okay? Li?

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I’m up for that.

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: I’m– I’m glad you’re here.

Liam: Wha–, er, what’s up?

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

>Liam: Have you told him that?

Ridge: He knows how I feel.

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

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

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

Ridge: It was the reunion of a lifetime.

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Oh, honey.

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

Taylor: Tell me– tell me everything she said?

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: So, how does it feel?

Ridge: What?

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

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

Brooke: Well, that’s true.

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

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

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

Steffy: Oh, thank you.

Taylor: You’re welcome.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: You and dad?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Uh huh?

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

Steffy: Okay.

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

Steffy: Swept up, how?

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

Steffy: You and dad?

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

Steffy: That’s wonderful.

Taylor: I mean–

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

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

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

[ Relaxing music ]

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

Steffy: Do you have an appointment?

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

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

[ Knocking at door ]

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

Hope: Wow. What was that about?

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

Hope: Good answer.

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

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

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

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

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

Ridge: May I say something?

Taylor: I think you’re

going to anyway, but sure.

Ridge: You’ve been our

strength through

this whole ordeal,

you’ve been a rock.

Maybe the only true thing

in all of this.

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

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

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

Liam: Oh. Okay.

Hope: It was totally innocent.

Liam: Well, what was it?

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

Liam: Yo, what is the mistake?

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

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

Thomas: What?

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

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

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

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

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

Brooke: You okay?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I’m good. Why?

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

Ridge: I did see that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope: Oh, I know.

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

Brooke: Ridge, if you’re upset with–

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

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

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

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

Thomas: So, how did the kids react?

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

Zende: Hey, taylor.

Taylor: Hey!

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

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

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

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

Taylor: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Finn: I’ll text you. I love you both.

Steffy: Love you.

Li: I’m guessing you have questions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liam: I know. I know the feeling.

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

Brooke: He did.

Hope: And…

Brooke: Oh, it’s fine, honey.

Hope: Really?

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

Taylor: I have so many questions for li and what she did.

Thomas: I have a question. Why didn’t li tell anyone?

Zende: That’s kind of messed up, letting steffy grieve.

Ridge: It’s messed up. It’s a lot messed up. But we’re going to find some answers in time. Right now, the most important thing. Finn is back. Steffy has a husband, hayes has his father. All because of li.

Li: I wasn’t sure how you’d react.

Steffy: My husband is alive, li. Of course, I’m grateful. When I thought my son was going to grow up without a father, it sent me into a deep, deep depression. And I never– I never want to go back there again. So yes, I am thankful. Very thankful. That being said, um… what the hell, li? You let all of this time go by. All of the suffering. I thought my husband died. My family was torn apart. You could have erased the pain. You could’ve taken that all the way. But you didn’T. I am his wife. I deserved to know what you were doing. Why didn’t you tell me? As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Hope: Well, I am happy to hear that ridge won’t hold that photo I took against you.

Brooke: He prefers to remain focused on the good things that are happening.

Liam: Well, he’s not wrong there. I mean, I think we should all be focused on that. That the joy, you know, the sheer joy we feel about finn surviving and that little family staying intact is huge.

Brooke: Exactly. And I’m not being naive. I know how he feels about that photo, and I need to remain cautious.

Hope: But do you, though? He’s moved back in.

Brooke: Honey, he moved in to take care of me. He’s not fully committed quite yet. Oh, but it will happen. You know, after all we’ve been through over the years, there’s no way it’s going to end now.

Taylor: You know, I keep thinking about something that steffy said before she left for monaco. She didn’t want people to look at her with pity.

Ridge no, she just wanted to come in here and feel normal. I get that.

Taylor: Yes. And now when she comes to work again and she walks through those doors, she’s going to be faced with– with happiness and smiles.

Ridge: And hugs and happy tears. Even my dad had them when I called him earlier.

Taylor: Yeah, we have all had our share of happy tears for sure, since finn’s come back into our lives and most importantly, back into steffy’S.

Ridge: That smile on her face, what happened in monaco, I’m never going to forget that.

Taylor: Yeah. Monaco. What we experienced there makes me think that anything’s possible.

Steffy: How? How could you not tell us finn was alie? How could you be that cruel?

Li: It was never my intention to hurt you.

Steffy: It’s not just me. Did you think about your grandson? Kelly and hayes were so confused. They were so upset.

Li: I would never do anything to harm the children.

Steffy: That’s exactly what you did, li. You kept finn away from them. How could you do that? Why would you do this?

Li: You’re a mother. I’m sure you think a lot about kelly and hayes. The futures they might have.

Steffy: Yes.

Li: So you can imagine how proud I am of finn. Everything he’s accomplished. All I hope for is success. His career. A future so bright. Then he met you. Do you think I wanted my son swept up in a family always in the tabloids? I try not to worry. Hope for the best.

Steffy: Were you lying in my wedding? Pretending to be supportive?

Li: No. No, not at all. Finn adores you. You fulfill him. If he’s happy, then I’m happy. But I was right to be concerned, wasn’t I? If finn had never met you, sheila would have never come back into his life. She wouldn’t have shot him. I almost lost my son, steffy. And, yes, maybe in my anger and my despair, a part of me wanted to blame you, your entire family. So, I kept what I was doing to myself for good reason. Finn needed my undivided attention. His recovery depended on it. Getting you involved would have been a distraction I couldn’t afford. Please try to understand the position I was in, how determined I was. Other doctors gave up on me, but I couldn’T.

Steffy: I would have helped you. I would have been just as determined.

Li: No. You would have demanded I take him back to the hospital. Back to the people who wrote him off as dead. I would have said something to you, if finn survived. But in that moment, his odds were so grave, I mean, so slim. There was no reason for me to get your hopes up. And I couldn’t think or worry about anybody else at the time. I was laser focused on him. That’s what I was doing. I would have said something to you when he was stable, if he came to. But if you’re looking for an apology, you won’t get it. I won’t apologize to you or anyone else for doing what I had to do to save my son.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: How are they?

Finn: The kids are out cold and ridge is pinned down underneath them. Also asleep.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Steffy: Cute.

Taylor: I was in there with them earlier. So much cuteness! I almost fell asleep, but my mind was racing. And I kept thinking about everything that’s happened the past couple of days. I can’t believe you’re here, finn. And doing surprisingly well, considering…

Finn: I’m going to get checked out when I get back home. But so far, so good.

Steffy: I’ll vouch for that.

Taylor: Oh, this makes me so happy. This is– this is a milestone for our family in so many ways.

Finn: Cheers to that.

Steffy: Cheers.

Brooke: What time is it, honey?

Hope: 10 minutes from the last time you asked me what time it is. Mom, the flight is going to be landing soon from monaco. And I know you’re eager to see ridge, but…

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: All I know is he must be overjoyed for steffy. Finn is alive.

Hope: Well, no thanks to sheila.

>Brooke: Kind of creeps me out that she’s out there somewhere. But you know what? I’m not going to think about that. I’m not going to let sheila consume me. I’m gonna focus on finn and steffy and the fact that they’re back together. And ridge is home too.

Hope: Speaking of, uh, did ridge ever say anything about that selfie I posted with you and dad? Because it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Quinn: This is the life.

Carter: Mm-hmm. Doesn’t get any better.

Quinn: Mmm. We need to make a pact.

Carter: I’m in.

Quinn: You don’t even know what I’m about to say.

Carter: Doesn’t matter. You want, it, you got it?

Quinn: Ooh! Yes, I am gonna hold you to that.

Carter: So what did I just agree to?

[ Quinn laughs ]

[ Carter laughs ]

Quinn: I think this should not be a one time thing. We need to make this– a tradition. At least once a month we need to play hooky from work and spend the entire day in bed.

Carter: I don’t know, quinn. You drive a hard bargain but I think I can make this sacrifice.

Quinn: Yeah?

Carter: Now, we took off today in honor of the amazing news about steffy and finn. What’s our excuse for once a month?

Quinn: Us. We need to celebrate us.

Carter: Have I ever told you how amazing you look in my bed?

Quinn: You look pretty amazing yourself.

Carter: I tried giving up on us. Told myself there was no chance this could ever happen but here you are.

Quinn: I’m so proud and excited that I get to love you out loud.

Hope: So have you and ridge spoken much?

Brooke: Only briefly. He was preoccupied and understandably so.

Hope: Hmm. Could you get a sense of his attitude about it all?

Brooke: He was rushed and I know he was trying to catch a plane. I hope that’s the only reason why.

Hope: I’m sorry, mom. I just–

Deacon: Sorry about what?

Brooke: Seriously? No, really, seriously. You just– you just walked into my home, ridge’s home after I told you you’re not allowed.

Deacon: I may have heard through the grapevine that ridge was on a plane, and I just took this chance to, you know, come see my two favorite ladies.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

[ Airplane din ]

Steffy: Hey, over there. Did I miss something? It seems like there’s something on your mind. At metro by t-mobile… you can save more…

Carter: I haven’t wanted anyone the way I wanted you.

Quinn: That’s past tense. Why am I all of a sudden pass tense?

Carter: Let me finish…

Quinn: Fine, please continue.

>Carter: It’s just you were… you were married to eric, you were fully committed. And I told myself to be grateful of the time we had together. And wish you well. Time to move on with my life knowing that being together, it was impossible.

Quinn: Well, never say never.

Carter: I still can’t believe you’re here.

Quinn: Well, believe it. Because I’m not going anywhere. Mmm.

[ Carter sighs ]

Carter: You know, it’s a toss up. I don’t know who’s happier: Me or ridge.

Quinn: What? How– how– how did ridge end up in bed with us?

Carter: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We were talking last night and I haven’t– I haven’t heard him sound that upbeat in a long time.

Quinn: Really? Ridge?

Carter: Mm-hmm. Steffy’s the center of his universe. And he was worried when we thought finn was dead. But the fact that he’s not, the fact that steffy and finn are back together, ridge is over the moon.

Quinn: If only he could stay there. Seriously, talking about ridge, it’s kind of a buzzkill. Don’t you think? I have a much better way of passing the time.

Deacon: I feel like when I’m around you two that I’m grounded in something really good, you know? And of course, I’m attracted to that. I would never come here-if I honestly thought that he was going to be around.

[ Brooke sighs]

Brooke: It just feels like I’m sneaking around, like I’m doing something behind ridge’s back. Is it– am I overreacting?

Hope: Well, you’re probably also a little paranoid because of, you know, the photo I posted.

Brooke: Yeah.

Deacon: That’s so weird because I was going to just ask about that. I saw it and then it disappeared. So I was going to ask you what happened there? Lemme take a stab in the dark here: Um, you’re afraid of hurting his royal ridgeness’ tender sensibilities so you asked hope to pull it down. Is that– is that right? Close?

Brooke: Okay. Listen. Of course, I was worried about his feelings and how he would react. I’m not trying to be insensitive, deacon. Really, I’m not. I want to show ridge that I am dedicated to him. And when he comes home, you can’t be here.

Deacon: All right, message received.

Taylor: The pilot says we’ll be landing soon. I can’t wait to walk into our house as a family. It’s been way too long.

>Steffy: Get ready to be spoiled ’cause we’re going to celebrate you every day.

>Finn: I could live with that.

>Taylor: This is just amazing. You know, when ridge and I boarded the plane to monaco, we– we had no idea we were about to experience a miracle. We were prepared for the worst. And what we got was the best thing we could have ever hoped for.

Finn: Me, too. Okay, I’m going to go wake up the kids and the big one, too.

Steffy: You still never answered my question.

>Taylor: What was the question?

Steffy: You seem distracted by something other than finn and me.

Taylor: No, I’m not. I mean, I’ll sit, but I’m not– I’m just– I’m just thinking about–

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: I’m thinking about the most important thing. The– the most important thing right now, which is that finn is here and that your family is whole again. It’s the best feeling in the world. Hi, I’m denise.

Quinn: Mm. This makes me so happy: Being in your arms, being able to kiss you and touch you whenever I want to.

Carter: We had to hide our feelings for a long time.

Quinn: Yeah. Not just from everyone but from each other.

Carter: When I think of how close you came to ruining your life– I mean, I don’t know what you were thinking. Marrying paris? But I know. I know. We don’t have to dwell. I’m just– I’m just glad that I was able to get to that crazy wedding in time to save you from yourself.

Carter: Wow.

Quinn: Wow.

Carter: Thank you for saving me–

Quinn: You’re welcome. You– you’re so, oh– oh. You’re so welcome.

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah, sure. Why? I don’t look okay?

Hope: Uh, frankly, no. You seem a little sad.

Deacon: Shows, huh?

Hope: Yeah. Dad, look, I know you care about mom and I get it. It stings when you’re rejected.

Deacon: I get that it’s not my place to approve or disapprove of what her choices are. At the end of the day, I just want her to be happy. I care about her. But if I’m being really honest, I don’t know that she’s ever going to find true happiness with ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Oh, hey! Ridge, you’re home. Oh. Taylor.

Taylor: Hello– look, I know we probably should have texted you. We didn’t even think about–

Ridge: We wanted finn, steffy and the kids to kind of have a homecoming.

Taylor: Yeah, you know. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Brooke: Okay, I understand. Um. So, well? How was it? How was monaco?

Both: Incredible–

Ridge: It was incredible. Hi.

Brooke: Yeah, hi. I– could only imagine how excited steffy must have been to see finn alive after all this time.

Taylor: Yeah, it was. It was amazing. We were in awe. Uh, it was the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen.

Brooke: Well, that’s wonderful. Steffy’s back with her family. And as a parent, I can only imagine how you two are feeling right now.

Kelly: Yay, we’re home!

Steffy: Wow, we certainly are. You okay?

Finn: Yeah, just, uh… alittle overwhelmed. So many times, I imagined getting back to this place, being with you guys. Just, uh… seemed distant and faraway sometimes.

Steffy: Well, you’re here. Where you belong.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, it looks exactly the same. Except this. This is new, huh? Who’s the brilliant artist?

Kelly: Me! I drew it to make you come home.

[ Laughing ]

Finn: You’re manifesting already. That’s impressive.

Kelly: Mana-wha?

[ Finn laughing ]

Finn: It’s okay. I’ll– I’ll explain it to you later. You just keep doing it.

Kelly: I missed you, finn.

Finn: Oh. Missed you too. Oh, this feels good.

Steffy: Welcome home. We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Hope: Let’s be real. Ridge will never be good enough for mom in your eyes.

Deacon: I can’t argue with that because I’m right. He isn’T.

Hope: Hmm. Well, I wonder who would be.

Deacon: Okay, I get it. You know, maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m projecting but from where I stand, if there aren’t any residual feelings for taylor then why hasn’t he fully recommitted to your mom?

Taylor: Yeah. The whole thing was, uh– it was– it was incredibly romantic.

Brooke: I’ll bet. And with monaco as the backdrop. I just kept thinking how relieved and how happy you were for steffy.

Ridge: We– we were so worried about it. We just didn’t know what we were going to find in monaco.

Taylor: Yeah. And then– and then finn showed up and it’s amazing.

Brooke: And how is he? I mean, besides being thrilled to be back with his family.

Ridge: Yeah– physically, he’s– he’s not quite there yet, right? I mean, he’s not.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, I mean– I mean, he’s getting there, right? But emotionally.

Ridge: It was great to see steffy smile again.

Brooke: I’m sure it was. I’m just glad that you’re all back home. Especially you, ridge. I missed you so much.

Ridge: Did you?

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Kelly laughing ]

Finn: It’s the most beautiful sound in the world.

Steffy: Yeah, I didn’t really hear it. When you were gone, this house was so sad. And I tried to make it normal for the kids. But every night kelly would ask, “when is finn coming home?” And, after a while, I just couldn’t explain it anymore. But I’m glad I didn’t have to because you’re here now. Our miracle is– is here.

Finn: That’s all I thought about. I’d just… close my eyes and picture myself here with you, hayes and kelly. But do you have… do you have any idea how much I love you?

Steffy: I love you so much.

Kelly: Mom! Mom?

[ Finn laughs ]

Steffy: Ah, I better get in there.

Finn: Hey. Let me.

Finn: What’s all the commotion in here? Ah! Help me. I’m being attacked. Hayes wants his mama.

Steffy: Baby, honey, come here.

[ Finn laughing ]

Steffy: Oh, baby.

Finn: Ah,! No, they’re pulling me back! Pulling me back! Come over here! I got– I got her now! I got her now! I got her now. Oh, big man. Big man.

[ Hayes chortling ]
