Steffy: I feel so good. Close to my family again.

Kelly: I missed you, mommy.

Steffy: I miss you, too, baby girl. And I miss my husband. I’ll never be away from you. Ever again. I promise.

Taylor: So– so you think that I am driving a wedge between hope and liam?

Brooke: It’s possible. Instead of telling steffy the truth, you’re supporting this illusion that she’s married to liam. So maybe you are taking advantage of her memory loss.

Taylor: No. Steffy’s mental state is very fragile, and I’m not going to condone anything that will affect that.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Wouldn’t telling her to do just the opposite? She would realize that she has a little baby boy that lost his father. And she would want to be there. She would want to accept the truth in order to help her son.

> >Taylor: I am not risking my daughter’s recovery, brooke. Do you understand me? And the fact that you would even think that I would use my daughter’s memory loss to play matchmaker with her and liam is appalling. Even for you.

Ridge: You know what, sheila? There’s no reason for you to be here. I know you got to be exhausted. This was a rough day for everybody.

Sheila: Yeah, I’m the only one here that lost a son.

Ridge: You, li and jack. I loved finn. He didn’t– he didn’t deserve what happened to him. You being here doesn’t change that. Go home. Get some rest. When we find out who did this, and we will, you will be my first phone call.

Sheila: I’m not surprised you don’t want me here. You’ve never had any use for me. I mean, even… even after saving taylor’s life, that doesn’t buy me any slack or compassion.

Ridge: Slack or compassion? No. I’m grateful you saved her. But really, the only reason she was on that roof because you were there, trying to end your life.

Sheila: I just wish she hadn’t got there in time.

Ridge: Don’t do that. I don’t– I don’t want that for you. That’s not– I am sorry you lost your son. And I’m sorry you thought that the only way out of that dark place was to jump off a building. I can only imagine what kind of demons you have running around your head, that lead you to a place like that.

Brooke: Okay. I am… I’m sorry. I don’t want to argue with you, taylor.

Taylor: Good. Then stop.

Brooke: I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. And as a mother, I sympathize. But what I don’t understand is how you can continue to let your daughter believe she’s living in this fantasy world, being married to liam. I mean, really, it’s ridiculous. It’s– it’s wrong. It’s wrong.

Steffy: This is everything right here. Bridget: Hey, honey.

Hope: Hey.

Bridget: How are you?

Hope: Oh, hanging in there.

Bridget: Oh, I love you so much.

Hope: I love you too.

Bridget: I’m really, really proud of you.

Bridget: Oh, it’s a full house in here.

[ Liam laughing ]

Kelly: It’s mommy’s favorite.

Steffy: Daddy’s too.

Liam: Yeah.

Bridget: Well, I hate to break this up, but I need to examine your mommy, and she needs to get some rest.

Liam: Say no more.

Steffy: No, no. Don’t move.

Liam: You heard her. Doctor’s orders. Come on, kid. Let’s get out of here. Oh. Oh, boy. Look at you. Thanks again.

Bridget: You know I’m going to take good care of her.

Liam: I know. I have no doubt in my mind. Say goodbye to aunty bridget.

Kelly: Bye, aunt bridget.

Bridget: Bye sweet girl. I’ll see you soon.

Liam: All right. Now tell mommy you love her.

Kelly: I love you, mommy.

Steffy: I love you too, baby. I’ll be home soon. We’ll be together again. Okay? I promise.

Brooke: I’m not being unsympathetic. I am not. It’s just… I can imagine everything that she’s been through is just… such a shock and horror. And for you, too, taylor. But I don’t see how letting her believe a lie is helpful.

Taylor: Steffy needs a buffer between regaining consciousness and experiencing life without finn.

Brooke: Okay. Let that be you, the mental health expert. You’re a professional. You can help her see the truth and accept it. I really don’t think that’s fair to put on hope and liam. It’s too much of a burden. Honey. What’s wrong?

Taylor: Is it steffy?

Hope: Ah. No, she’s fine. More than fine. Actually.

Taylor: I’m sorry. What is– what does that mean?

Hope: Oh, no. She’s just having some family time with her daughter and her husband. My husband.

[ Steffy groaning ]

Bridget: Hey, honey, talk to me. How is your pain level?

Steffy: Nothing I can’t handle.

Bridget: How about your head? You seemed a little anxious today.

Steffy: I shouldn’t be here.

Bridget: Steffy. You’re recovering from a gunshot wound. It was a big day. You got to see kelly. You just– you need to rest.

>>Steffy: I can heal faster… at home with my husband and my daughter.

Ridge: I know. I know you had high hopes to be connected with your long lost son. And just like that– one moment and it’s all gone. And I’m sorry. And– and I hope you are going to get… the help that you need, from anyone. Anyone but taylor.

Sheila: Wait. Why do you even care what happens?

Ridge: I don’t care what happens to you. I really don’T. But I want you to be alive. I want you to be here, when we find whoever did this to our kids. And we’re going to bring them to justice.

Baker: Oh, there you are.

Ridge: Any news?

Sheila: Did you find who shot my son?

Baker: Not yet, but we’re on it. I wanted to talk to steffy earlier, but the doctor said she wasn’t ready. I’m hoping that she’s ready now. Steffy’s the only witness that we have of what happened in that alley. So, the sooner I can talk to her, the sooner we can catch this scumbag.

Ridge: Okay, well, there’s a couple of things you need to know. Steffy has a bit of a tough time… remembering everything. Finn.

Baker: Oh. That he was killed?

Ridge: That they were married. That… they met, even.

Baker: I’m not a doctor, but it’s obvious she’s repressing memory.

Ridge: Well, I’m not a doctor either, but… I don’t think we’re going to get out of her what we wanted.

Baker: Well, maybe not. But you never know what could come up in the course of an interview.

Ridge: I know what’s not going to come up. Finn. We’re not going to talk about him. Not now. You need to honor that.

Baker: It might take some finessing. But I’ve dealt with victims who have had repressed memories before. Nine times out of ten, all you need is patience. Eventually, those memories resurface. And the perp will be caught. Hi, I’m karen.

Brooke: Kelly’s here? In the hospital? With liam?

Hope: Yeah.

Taylor: That’s okay, though, right? Steffy would want to see her daughter.

Hope: Yes. I just hope it’s not confusing for kelly.

Taylor: Be confusing to see your parents together?

Hope: Finn just came into her life as her mommy’s husband. And now, all of a sudden, he’s gone and she’s in a hospital and steffy is calling liam her husband.

Liam: Hey.

Brooke: Where’s kelly?

Liam: She’s with amelia.

Hope: She’s doing okay?

Liam: I think she’s– yeah, I think she’s okay.

Brooke: You think?

Liam: Well–

Hope: She’s not confused about being here.

Liam: I mean, maybe… a little. But she’d probably be more confused at home, just not even knowing where mommy is. At least here, she was able to see that steffy is okay.

Hope: Oh, I’m glad to hear that.

Brooke: Yeah, I’m glad to hear that, too. But I still have major issues allowing steffy to believe that liam is still her husband.

Liam: Believe me, I hear you. I totally get it. This whole situation is so– like, I don’t even know what to– and you. Your patience and understanding is, like, superhuman at this point, so–

Hope: Yeah. But I’m going to be honest, liam. It is a little weird to see steffy thinking that she’s still married to you.

[ Brooke huffing ]

Brooke: See? This is taking a toll on my daughter. Somebody has to tell steffy the truth.

Taylor: Absolutely not. I’m sorry, did you say it was taking a toll on your daughter these last few hours? Steffy just regaining consciousness. She was shot. Her husband died. I’m so sorry if this is too much for you. I want you to hear me very clearly right now. Nobody is going to undermine my daughter’s recovery. Do you understand?

Bridget: Your body has been through a lot. You were shot and then unconscious, while you fought to survive.

Steffy: Will I be okay?

Bridget: You are doing great. Physically, you’re on the road to recovery. I’m so proud of you. Of course, there’s always… unforeseen complications. But I am optimistic you’re not going to have any setbacks.

Steffy: Sooner, I’ll… be better? How long, again?

Bridget: Just as long as it takes.

Steffy: I want to be home with my husband and my daughter.

Bridget: I’m sure they will be back to see you soon.

Steffy: All I want is the three of us together. And then I’ll feel better.

Bridget: Let’s just take it one step at a time. Okay, honey?

Ridge: Bridget. Hey, how’s she doing?

Bridget: She’s getting stronger all the time.

Ridge: Told you. [Indistinct]

Baker: Is it okay if I ask her a few questions?

Bridget: Ask our patient. Steffy?

Steffy: I guess. Yeah.

Bridget: Go easy on her.

Ridge: I’ll make sure of it.

Baker: Well. It’s good to see you awake.

Steffy: Thanks.

Ridge: While he’s here, the chief wants to ask you a few questions, and I told him you’re not 100%. So, if you are not feeling it, we will do it some other time.

Baker: Absolutely. But I really need your insight into what happened that night in the alley. So that we can find the person responsible for shooting you.

Steffy: I’ll do my best.

[ Sheila’s heart beating ]

Liam: I promise you, taylor. None of us want steffy to backslide. We all care about her so much.

Taylor: Oh, I know. I know you do. I don’t think you understand. Steffy– steffy cannot– cannot process what happened that night. She– she can’t do it. She’s– she’s latching on to her history with liam to try to deal with the reality of finn’s murder. Do you understand that?

Hope: We get that. But if her memory doesn’t sort itself out on its own, my mom has a point. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go on for years and years with steffy thinking she’s married to my husband? That’s ludicrous. Something has to help her remember that she was married to finn and they share a child. A little boy who needs his mother. It is unsustainable. Surely you realize that, taylor?

Taylor: Of course I do. And– steffy– steffy, just woke up. This is all new. Just give her a second. It’s just happened. And maybe right now all she can do is heal her body. I don’t know. Maybe there’s a physical reason why she’s blocking finn out. But either way, she– she’s unable to cope with what happened. But her memory will come back, when she’s ready. But there is… nothing that anyone is going to do to cause her to have a setback. And that’s just the way it is.

Bridget: Mom. Hello, everyone.

Brooke: Go ahead, honey. We need you. We need a second professional opinion. And you understand steffy’s condition better than any of us. So, tell us, please. Do you think steffy is too fragile to handle the truth right now? That she isn’t married to liam?

Bridget: Mom, it is my opinion and that of steffy’s neurologist that it would be best if she remembered on her own. We just need to give her a little bit more time.

Liam: Okay. Can you hang in there a little bit longer?

Hope: Hmm. Yeah, sure.

Brooke: Okay. Well, how much time is a little more time?

Bridget: It could be happening right now. Deputy chief baker is in there with steffy and ridge. He’s questioning her about that night. Maybe he’s touching on something that will help her remember that finn is dead. And maybe even who killed him and shot her.

Baker: You’ve been through a very challenging time. I’ll try not to add to that.

Steffy: I wanna– I wanna help.

Ridge: We know that. We will find out who did this to you.

Baker: Every available resource in my office is on this case. We won’t stop until we find and arrest this perp. I want you to take your time, okay? Think back to the night in question. You’re standing in the alley behind ii giardino. That strikes me as odd. Do you know why you were there?

Steffy: Something urgent.

Baker: You remember what?

Steffy: No.

Baker: All right, so you’re in the alley. Were you with anyone?

Steffy: No.

Baker: What? Are you– are you remembering something? Someone? Are the memories coming? Good. Good. Let the memories come.

Ridge: Hey. You’re safe. No one’s gonna hurt you.

Baker: Can you see a face?

Ridge: What do you remember? Who shot you?

[ Sheila’s heart beating ]

Liam: Hey. Everything’s going to be okay. You have nothing to be afraid of.

Steffy: I am. I don’t know what happened. I was shot? Ah, I don’t remember–

Liam: I know. Yeah, I know. That’s okay. Your– your memory’s a– a little fuzzy, but what’s important is that you’re safe and your family’s here.

Steffy: Family?

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: My husband. I just need you with me.

Liam: Yeah, you– I’m– you got me. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. Everybody here, they just want you to get better. And we’re going to do everything we can so that you can go home and you can move on with your life. Okay?

Steffy: Hmm. Go home together. The two of us. Kelly. Our daughter! I want to see her!

Brooke: So, steffy thinks liam is her husband. Like she’s gone back in time. That’s not just a memory problem.

Taylor: It’s a coping mechanism.

Brooke: Coping with what? She doesn’t even remember finn, or their child.

Taylor: Because it’s too painful for her, brooke. She doesn’t have the emotional resources to deal with finn’s death.

Sheila: I wish I could forget it.

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to interfere with steffy’s progress and her healing. It’s just that she’s calling liam her husband.

Ridge: That’s what bridget said, she’s confused.

Taylor: Yes. And she’s– she’s very fragile right now.

Brooke: Okay. So, we go on letting her believe that she is married to liam, not hope.

Ridge: I get your concern, brooke. But if steffy isn’t strong enough to deal with the situation, we need to let her heal. We need to let her do that.

Liam: You remember kelly?

Steffy: I miss her.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. She misses you.

Steffy: I want… I want our family together. Home, just the three of us.

Liam: Just the three. Um, I just… I don’t know if that’s the best idea right now.

Steffy: Please, please, get kelly. Get her. I want to see her.

Liam: I– I– steffy, okay. All right. You know what? You got it? I– I will, um… I will go get kelly. I’ll bring her here. But, steffy, you got to– you got to take it easy. You’re awake now and that is like– that is just a– a miracle. But you have a long way to go. And bridget says that we shouldn’t be rushing things. Okay?

Steffy: I need our daughter.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I’m gonna– I– I’ll be right back. I’ll bring her.

Liam: Hey.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: So, um… steffy wants to see kelly.

Hope: Did she mention finn or hayes at all?

Liam: No, nope. Nope. So, I– I don’t know. I mean, I’m just assuming it– it is what bridget and taylor said, that she’s repressing the memory of finn and everything that goes along with it.

Hope: Even their child?

Liam: Yeah. ‘Cause it’s like nothing, you know? I mean, I– but seeing kelly’s got to be a good thing, right? Like, ’cause maybe making that connection will ground her a little bit. Help her make the other connection. I don’t know. I’m trying to do the right thing, and it’s like…

Hope: Liam, hey. We all want what’s best for steffy. Okay?

Liam: See? The– that– that right there. Oh, my– I’m so grateful to you. You– you are being so compassionate. You are being so understanding. You’re taking care of the kids. You’re giving steffy your support. And I just– I could just thank– thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ugh, okay.

Hope: All right.

Liam: Wish me luck. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Brooke: Of course steffy needs time to recover. I– I… I’m not suggesting we barge in there and tell her all about finn. That would be a disaster.

Taylor: Oh, good. I’m glad you’re not suggesting that ’cause that’s what it sounds like. Yes, it would be disastrous.

Brooke: To let her live in this delusional world doesn’t help either. What about– what about hayes? His father died. He needs his mother.

Taylor: Yes, he does. And we are doing everything that we can to make sure she gets back to him as soon as possible.

Ridge: She just woke up and she’s lost some things. Give her a chance to find them, please.

Taylor: Selective memory loss is– is a survival reaction. It helps people deal with the unthinkable. And I think on some levels, steffy knows finn died. My god, I think she might have even seen it happen. Which would explain this response.

Brooke: Okay, well, I… I– I’m just concerned about her fixation on liam.

Ridge: God, it’s nothing to do with liam. Honestly, I’m not a doctor, but it– it seems to me that this is about finn and how much she loved him.

Sheila: And she did. Deeply.

Taylor: Steffy just can’t process this right now so she’s– she blocked it all out. She had to find a– a safe place in her mind and right now, that safe place is liam.

Hope: Excuse me. Is it okay if I see her? I– I won’t stay long.

Nurse: Of course. I’ll be back soon.

Hope: Thank you. Hey, steffy.

Steffy: Hope.

Hope: It’s good to see you awake. How are you feeling?

Steffy: Better.

Hope: You gave us quite a scare there.

Steffy: You were worried?

Hope: Very. Does that surprise you?

Steffy: We don’t always get along. It’s kind of you to visit.

Hope: Bridget’s taking excellent care of you and… I’m sure you’re going to get through this.

Steffy: I just want to go home. With kelly and liam. Our little family.

Hope: Steffy, I know you have this reputation of being fearless and brave, and I just– I want you to know that it’s okay. You can be strong and still scared. But you can face this. I know– I know you can. I just have one… important thing to tell you.

Ridge: We all know that liam is married to hope.

Brooke: Steffy doesn’T.

Ridge: Oh, she will. Soon enough, but not right now.

Brooke: So, if you can be patient and just give her whatever she needs to heal, that would be great.

Sheila: Taylor, are– are you certain that she will?

Taylor: Well, her scans don’t show any significant damage, I… it looks like the– the memory loss might be psychological.

Brooke: Well, then tell me, taylor. How is living in this fantasy helping her?

Taylor: What? This is so much more complicated than a fantasy, brooke. There are real emotions involved here. That is why she sought safety with liam.

Brooke: Liam was there when she came to.

Taylor: Liam has always been there for her.

Brooke: Yes. They share a lot of history together.

Taylor: Yes, their connection is real, brooke. They have a deep, abiding love for each other. As a psychiatrist, it makes me wonder.

Brooke: Wonder what?

Taylor: If there’s more to it. If maybe this is a sign that… steffy is repressing her true love for liam.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Hope: I know that you’re confused and things are a little foggy right now.

Steffy: Hard to remember. I’ve been trying.

Hope: So, you don’t remember anything about that night? What about before?

Steffy: I remember my home. And my family. Liam. Kelly.

Hope: Well, that’s actually what I need you to know. Your family is so much bigger than that. And you’ll never be alone. You won’T. So, you don’t need to worry, because… we’ve got your back and we’re here for you. And we’re going to help you get through this. We’re going to support you.

Steffy: I know. Liam said he won’t leave me.

Hope: Yeah. He, um– he’ll be there for you and so will I. So– we all will. And someday those memories will come back and then you can truly move on.

Steffy: I just need my little girl. And my husband. My precious family.

Kelly: Mommy!

Steffy: There she…

Liam: Hey.

Steffy: … Is? You got… so big!

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Here, go, go, go. Go to mommy.

Kelly: Mommy!

Steffy: Oh…

Liam: Yeah, yeah, you be gentle with mommy, good.

Steffy: Oh, my… my sweet baby. Oh, my goodness.

Liam: Yeah, so, um– so– so we had a really great conversation in the car. Um, kelly knows that– that mommy is just fine. And auntie bridget is taking such, such good care of her. And, uh, before you know it, she’s gonna be home and back to her old self, huh?

Steffy: Oh, yes, soon as I can, baby. I can’t wait to be home with our family. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Steffy: You said you put

your devious ways behind you–

Sheila: I have.

Steffy: No, you haven’t!

You are the same twisted

sociopath you have always been.

You don’t change, sheila.

You just find new

ways to hurt people.

There’s no hope for you.

You’re never getting better.

Everyone’s gonna know what

you did. Everyone. Everyone…

everyone…

Ridge: I thought you left.

Sheila: Uh, not yet.

Ridge: Maybe you should. You know what? I’m sorry. Here’s what I’ll do. As soon as steffy remembers something, I will let you know.

Brooke: You said that steffy’s reaction is a survival mechanism.

Taylor: It is, but it’s not random. She latched on to solace with liam.

Brooke: Taylor, I don’t know how avoiding the subject is helping. And I don’t know why that doesn’t worry you.

Taylor: Are you questioning my concern?

Brooke: No, I just don’t know why you want to leave her in the dark. Maybe she needs to be with her son. Or what about if somebody comes to visit? What are you gonna tell them? Don’t mention finn? I mean, come on. I know that you don’t want her recovery to have any setbacks, I get that. But this is crazy.

Taylor: No, this is crazy. That you’re not seeing this. We– we didn’t put any of this in steffy’s head. Steffy has– has– has blocked out all of her memories of finn and she’s turned to liam. Taking that away from her would be devastating for her recovery. It is too soon and it is too dangerous. I will not allow it.

Brooke: Don’t do this. Don’t make this an issue for us.

Taylor: I’m not the one making it an issue, brooke.

Brooke: Really? You’re not using this situation to drive a wedge between hope and liam? Because I think you are.

Steffy: I’m so glad to see you, baby girl.

Kelly: Why are you crying?

[ Liam laughs softly ]

Steffy: They’re happy tears. I missed you so much.

Liam: And kelly missed you, too. And you know what? She drew you so many pictures and wrote you letters. And we’re going to hang them up all over the house when you get home just to welcome you. And, um… um, we don’t know exactly when that’s gonna be, but hopefully– hopefully soon.

Steffy: Oh, I can’t wait to get home and see them.

Liam: Yeah. I did explain to kelly that, um, mommy does need to stay in the hospital just a little bit longer so she can rest and get better, you know?

Steffy: I feel better now with all these cuddles.

Hope: It’s definitely seemed like it’s helped your mood.

Steffy: Please, I, uh… I’d like some time alone with my daughter and my… my husband.

Hope: So, you’d like me to go?

Liam: Um, I’ll– I’ll be out there in a– in a minute.

Steffy: Thank you for being here. So nice to have my daughter by my side. To have you by my side.

Liam: There’s no place I’d rather be.

Kelly: I love you, mommy.

Steffy: I love you. And I love you too, liam.

Liam: I love you, too.

Steffy: Thank god. My sweet husband.

Hope: Liam’s my husband, mom, I’m not worried.

Brooke: I’m not saying you should be, sweetheart, but situations like this. Steffy’s husband died, tragically.

Hope: Which steffy still knows nothing about. Mom, she remembers nothing about that night.

Brooke: But when she does, when she starts to remember everything.

Hope: Everyone that loves her will be there to help her through it.

Brooke: Including liam?

Hope: Yes, including liam. That’s the way it should be.

Steff: I need you.

Bridget: I’ve dealt with cases where the trauma of the event was so devastating, the patient blocks it out entirely.

Taylor: Yeah, I’ve dealt with that in my practice too. When it’s your own daughter?

Bridget: I know. On one hand, you wish you could just never tell her what happened. Spare her all that heartache and pain. But the reality is–

Taylor: Finn is gone.

Bridget: Right.

Taylor: Someone took him from us, from everybody that loved him. My daughter, most of all. I just– I just keep wondering if she’s ever going to remember what happened. I–

Carter: What did you say?

Quinn: Oh, come on. Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me.

Carter: I don’t know. You whispered– I don’t– I don’t know if I got that.

Quinn: Wh– okay, so. Fine. So you need me to say it louder? Is that it? I need to be– I need to be louder. Fine! I miss you, too.

[ Sighing ]

Carter: I’ll try not to let it go to my head.

Quinn: Well… you said at first, mr.

Carter: That I miss you? It’s true.

Quinn: And your involvement with paris?

Carter: I did what had to be done, I ended it.

Quinn: For her sake?

Carter: Yes, for her sake. She’d be much happier with zende. He can give her everything she deserves, and more.

Quinn: I don’t disagree with that. But now that things are over with paris, and I mean, they are over, right?

Carter: Yes, they are over.

Quinn: I am so glad to hear that.

Bridget: Well, obviously, you know, we’re going to continue to monitor steffy very closely. And I don’t have to tell you that we need to proceed cautiously. But ridge has really been trying to get steffy to remember who did this to finn and her. And I understand why. But I–

Taylor: But we can’t thrust the horror of what happened to her. She’s– she’s too weak, physically and emotionally.

Bridget: Exactly. I’m really relieved to hear you say that. I’m glad we agree. I’m going to go check on her. Okay?

Taylor: Thank you.

Brooke: Oh, sweetheart, I– I’m not trying to make you feel insecure or question liam’s feelings for steffy–

Hope: Mom, look, liam loves steffy, and he has always been honest with me about that and himself. They share a daughter together, and their love for kelly bonds them together the same way that liam and I– we have a daughter that we thought was lost to us. And now we have a wonderful family. And liam’s ring is on my finger. Not steffy’S.

Steffy: You mean so much to me. My husband by my side.

Bridget: What’s going on?

Steffy: Telling him how much I need him. How much I need my husband. Oh, man, that’s a whole lot of wrinkly.

Carter: So you’re glad that paris and I are over?

[ Quinn scoffing ]

Quinn: For all the obvious reasons. Your relationship with zende, your relationship with the forresters, uh, oh, uh, not to mention the little fact that that woman tried to blow up my life. What happened between us almost caused irreparable damage between you and ridge, you and eric. And now, if they were to– they were to find out that you were doing an end run around zende, trying to lure poor, sweet paris into your love nest?

Carter: Wow. Poor paris into my love nest? That is not what’s happening–

Quinn: I am sure that you didn’t do the luring. I’m sure that it was– it was mutual. And the two of you couldn’t fight your attraction to each other. Why? Why does that sound so familiar?

Carter: You talking about you and me?

Quinn: What happened between us, it’s in the past.

Carter: Mm hm.

Quinn: But I have to admit that I– I do, I do miss– I do miss our talks. The way we used to confide in each other. I don’t have a lot of friends. I know– surprise, surprise, but, um, there’s definitely been a void in my life since– since you and I stopped spending time with each other.

Hope: I’m lucky, mom. I have my husband. You– liam is safe. My family is safe. Our lives didn’t change in the blink of an eye.

Brooke: So many blessings to count.

Hope: Whereas steffy’s world will never be the same. Frankly, I mean– who could blame her if she never wants to remember th– that horrific night ever again? And if she does recall those awful moments, then– how does she handle that? I mean, how do you hear that your husband is gone and never coming back?

Taylor: Oh, honey, I know. I know you want to be here at the hospital, but douglas needs you there too. No, babe, just– just help him with his homework, and I’ll call you if anything changes. All right? Okay. I love you, too. Bye. Hi.

Sheila: Hey. I’m sorry, I didn’t– I didn’t mean to interrupt your phone call.

Taylor: No, it’s okay. I was just, uh, I needed to check in on thomas. Let him know what was going on.

Sheila: How’s– how’s steffy? I gather she’s still not remembering anything?

Taylor: No. No, not as far as that night is concerned. Everything is just a– it’s a blank for her. Oh, I’m so sorry, sheila. I know you are as anxious for steffy to remember what happened so she can tell us who did this as we are. But I promise you, we’re– we’re going to find out who did this. And we are going to put them behind bars for the rest of their lives. Come here.

Bridget: Very grateful to have your husband here with you, steffy?

Steffy: Yes. I knew liam would come.

Bridget: Honey? Do you remember anything else about that night?

Steffy: No. No. I’m trying, but…

Bridget: I think we need to give steffy some rest.

Steffy: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I wa– I want my husband here. I– I don’t want liam to leave me. No, no–

Liam: No, I’m– hey, hey! Listen, listen, listen. I’m not leaving you. I’m not leaving you. I’m– you see those doors? I’m gonna be right outside those doors. I’m not going anywhere. Okay?

Steffy: Thank you. Thank you. I love you. I love you so much.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah.

[ Sniffling ] I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Carter: A void?

Quinn: I– nobody understands me the way that you do.

Carter: Even eric?

Quinn: Don’t get me wrong, I’m– I’m very happy to be back with my husband.

Carter: But?

Quinn: He’s been spending a lot of time working from home. Specifically the guest house, and, uh– he sleeps there quite often.

Carter: Is there A… is there still a problem?

Quinn: I love eric. He’s my husband. And I’m committed to him.

Carter: And I get that. But you still didn’t answer my question. Is there still a problem in your marriage, something going on that you can’t talk about, even with me?

Brooke: Sheila, ah. I didn’t expect you to be here. Is everything all right, taylor?

Taylor: Yep.

Sheila: I think what brooke really means to say is I don’t belong here.

Taylor: Well, of course you belong here. You’re hayes’ grandmother. You just lost your son. And you’re worried about finn’s little boy.

Sheila: And finn’s wife. I’m also concerned about steffy.

[ Hope clearing throat ]

Taylor: Oh, ridge, how’s steffy?

Ridge: Uh, well–

Hope: Has she remembered anything more?

Taylor: What is going on?

Ridge: You– you wanna…

Taylor: What’s going on?

Liam: So…

Taylor: Did my daughter take a turn for the worse?

Bridget: No, no, no. Steffy’s condition has not worsened. No, it– it’s nothing like that at all.

Taylor: OkaY. Thank god.

Ridge: But there is a change.

Brooke: What kind of change?

Bridget: Well, uh, it’s memory deficit. It’s, uh, a little more problematic than we initially realized.

Taylor: What you mean, problematic?

Ridge: That’s–

Bridget: Well, first of all, we all know that steffy does not remember how she and finn got shot, right?

Sheila: Ar– are you saying that that’s the way it’s going to stay, that– that she’s never going to regain her memory?

Bridget: No, no, I’m not– I’m not saying that at all, uh-

Taylor: What are you saying, bridget, please, just tell– tell us, please.

Bridget: This actually has more to do with liam.

Liam: Yeah–

Ridge: All right, li–

Liam: Okay, go.

Ridge: Liam came in the room and she– she was very grateful to see him.

Hope: Well, of course she would be, liam is important to her. This is kelly’s father, they were married.

Liam: Okay, all right, so that, um, that’s the thing.

Hope: What?

Liam: Uh, steffy now thinks, what she thinks–

Hope: Liam, what is it?

Liam: I– okay, so I come into the room and she’s really emotional, right? And– and she’s saying things like, you know, “oh, my god, I’m so glad you’re here. And– and, and I need you. And I need– I need my husband and…” hope, I’m pretty sure that steffy thinks that she and I are still married. Medusa lived with a hideous curse.

Quinn: I could always talk to you about anything. It’s what drew us together in the first place. It was always so easy between us. And I never had to be anyone but myself with you. It was– it was such a refreshing relief, knowing that you didn’t want to change me.

Carter: Why would I want to change you? And you can be yourself around eric too. He doesn’t want to change you either.

Quinn: Yes, but…

Carter: But what?

Quinn: You know what? I didn’t come here to get into all of that. I just came here to give you back your damn key, which I’ve done. So now I’m gonna leave and let you get back to work.

Carter: You sure the key wasn’t just an excuse?

Quinn: Okay. Also, I missed my friend. I know we see each other here at work, but it’s, you know, it’s just– it’s not the same thing.

Carter: And is that what we still are? Friends?

Quinn: I’d like to think so.

Carter: You know what I think?

Quinn: Hmm.

Carter: I think there’s not a woman in this world that is like you. You’re an original among originals.

Quinn: Oh, and don’t you forget it.

Carter: I haven’T. And never will.

Carter: Mm.

Nurse: Your blood pressure is slightly elevated. How are you feeling?

Steffy: Better if my husband was with me. Ask liam to come back right away.

Nurse: Okay, just relax. We’re going to get him. One second.

Hope: Steffy still thinks she’s married to you?

Brooke: What? So she has no recollection of finn whatsoever?

Liam: I don’t think so.

Taylor: But, what about hayes? Does she–

Ridge: Our daughter doesn’t think she has a little boy with finn.

Taylor: Oh my– oh my god.

Brooke: Well, you’re going to tell her, aren’t you?

Hope: She deserves to know what happened to finn.

Taylor: Okay, I– I don’t think that’s a good idea. And I– I’m speaking as a psychiatrist right now. S–steffy is going through a tremendous amount of trauma, and I don’t think we should–

Brooke: Yeah, but to let her go on believing that she’s liam’s wife, when he’s married to hope. I mean, that’s crazy. Uh– bridget, what do you think? Should steffy be told about finn?

Bridget: Mom, there are no easy answers here. Given steffy’s current condition and how fragile she is, I do have to agree with taylor here. We cannot dredge up steffy’s trauma. Not yet.

Nurse: Excuse me. Well, ms. Forrester’s asking for her husband.

[ Hope sighing ]

Liam: Yeah. Okay. We– I mean, we don’t want to upset her. We know that, right? Because her– her condition is fragile, like you just said. Maybe the best thing right now is just let keep believing what she’s believing. I–I– okay. Here we go.

Steffy: Oh, thank god. I thought you might have left.

Liam: I didn’t leave, I told you I was– I was right outside those doors. I didn’t go anywhere.

Steffy: I– I was so scared, liam. I– I was shot?

Liam: Um, yeah, you were. Yeah, but, but you know something? You’re going to be okay. Everything’s going to be okay. Listen to me. You are an extraordinary woman, and you are going to be 100%, in no time. You just got to tell me you believe that.

Steffy: I do. I do. I believe you.

Liam: Good.

Steffy: Yeah, as long as I have you, my husband, by my side. Just please tell me you’re not going to leave me. Please tell me I’m not going to be alone?

Liam: I’m not going to leave you. And you’re not going to be alone.

Bridget: This is good.

Ridge: Yeah?

Bridget: Very, very good. I am pleased with the progress you’re making, steffy.

Steffy: Mm. Can… I go home?

Bridget: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves right now. Not quite yet, okay, honey?

Ridge: Come here a second. Do you think I could try again? You know, trying to find out again, what happened in the alley, jog her memory a little bit–

Bridget: Ridge, just don’t get disappointed if she doesn’t have answers.

Ridge: I’m not– okay, hey, baby, you awake?

Steffy: Mm.

Ridge: I just want to try one more time, see if– maybe you remember what happened that night. Who did this to you?

Deacon: You were really going to jump?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: I just had no idea that you were that depressed.

Sheila: Am that depressed, deacon, I am. I would’ve done it. I just want the pain to go away I have never felt so low and worthless.

Deacon: And then taylor showed up.

Sheila: Yeah. She tried to stop me.

Taylor: Sheila!

Sheila: I was gonna do it anyway.

Taylor: Don’t do it.

Sheila: And she made a move toward me, and she slipped. She saved my life.

Taylor: Don’t drop me! [ Sobbing ] Thank you!

Sheila: And I saved hers.

Taylor: Have the kids been asking questions?

Hope: Uh, well, douglas did ask how long kelly and hayes are going to be there.

Liam: Oh, man.

Hope: Yeah.

Taylor: Well, he’s a very smart kid. I’m sure he’ll figure out something’s going on soon.

Liam: Yeah, probably. I ju– I’m grateful that steffy’s doing better, because at least it’s going to make that very difficult conversation we have to have with them a little bit easier. But– hey.

Brooke: Hi! I heard that steffy was awake.

Taylor: She is.

Brooke: She is? That’s wonderful. You must be so relieved.

Taylor: I am.

Brooke: So where’s ridge?

Carter: Uh, quinn, um, what can I do for you?

Quinn: Well, um, I thought it was time to give this back to you. Key to your loft. I figured enough time has passed. Maybe there was another someone special you might want to give it to. But… I never would have thought… you and paris. It’s true? You’re involved with paris because I saw her face when she walked out right now. That’s why she and zende aren’t engaged. [ Sighing ] Carter, what have you gotten yourself into?

Brooke: So, is ridge here?

Taylor: He is, yes. He’s in with steffy right now.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Yeah. So I probably shouldn’t interrupt.

Taylor: Yeah, probably.

Brooke: Has steffy said anything so far? Does she know who did this to her and finn?

Deacon: Hey. I don’t need to worry about you, do I? I– I mean, right now. Sheila, I know–

Sheila: No you have no idea.

Deacon: Okay, fair enough. You’re right. I don’T.

Sheila: Finn is dead. And my grandson is gonna grow up without his father.

Deacon: And maybe without a mother. Which is all the reason why you need to stay in this world. You gotta be here for– for hayes– I– sheila, you gotta be here for hayes if steffy doesn’t pull through.

Sheila: She’s doing better. Uh, she’s not out of the woods yet, but– but she’s awake.

Deacon: Hey! That’s great– that– that’s good news, right?

Steffy: It’s fuzzy how– I don’t remember being shot at. I don’T.

Bridget: Honey, maybe if you concentrate on why you were there in the first place?

Ridge: Yeah. Why– why were you in the alley with finn? You guys going out for a drink? Maybe? What were you doing?

Bridget: It’s okay, steffy, if you need to rest.

Steffy: No. I– I want to help.

Ridge: You are, you are helping, just try to see if– you remember a face, maybe? Was it a man or a woman? Tall, short? Anything? Who shot you, baby? Hi, I’m karen.

Quinn: So this thing between you and paris, this has been going on since new year’s eve?

Carter: It was a mistake, and it never should have happened. So it was an attraction we’re going to have to fight.

[ Keys jangling ] What?

Quinn: Trying to fight an attraction to you. That’s something I know a little bit about.

Taylor: Steffy doesn’t remember anything about the shooting. Her, finn.

Brooke: Oh, no.

Liam: But bridget did say that, um, that’s relatively normal, right, taylor? Like, we shouldn’t be too concerned about it.

Taylor: Well, I mean, it’s not ideal. But I– I don’t think we should worry. It’s understandable that steffy would suppress this kind of trauma.

Hope: Yeah, but suppress for how long?

Taylor: I don’t know. Right now, steffy is– she’s and out of consciousness. She has to be reminded where she is and what happened. [ Sighing ] But you know what? She’s– she’s made so much progress already. She’s– she’s awake. She’s getting better by the hour. Hopefully, she’ll be able to connect the dots and find out who did this.

Deacon: I get that steffy hasn’t exactly treated you with kindness since you came back. But I can’t believe that you would wish her dead.

Sheila: What I wish is that I could go back in time. Before they got shot and do somethin– just do something to stop it.

Deacon: I’m so sorry, sheila.

Sheila: So am I. I just wish that I could tell finn that. I could see him just one more time. Tell him how much I love him and how sorry I am. He’s gone. And I’m– I’m never gonna get to see him again. I’ll never get to see him again. [ Sobbing ]

Steffy: I want to remember. [ Wincing ]

Bridget: I think she’s had enough.

Steffy: I– I want to remember, but I can’t–

Ridge: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Steffy: I can’T.

Ridge: It’s okay. Rest. Just close your eyes and get some rest. It’s okay. What– I’m sorry. I’m just trying to find out who did this to her.

Bridget: I know, ridge, I know. And it will happen.

Ridge: It will happen. I promise you.

Ridge: We’ll find whoever did this. I know there’s more heartache coming your way, but– I’m here. I’m right here.

Brooke: Has anybody told her, about finn?

Liam: No. I mean, I– I don’t- I don’t think so, but, uh– it’s just– I mean that conversation, it’s going to be impossible. How do we even– she lost her husband, you know.

Hope: Hi, amelia said that the kids are fine. And if we wanted to, she can bring them by the hospital later.

Liam: Oh, excellent. That’s really cool. I would, I– I would like to stay a little bit longer, at least until I can have a– a proper conversation with steffy. Um, actually, maybe I’m going to see if I can go do that now. Do you mind?

Hope: No.

Liam: All right. I love you.

Taylor: You happy with the numbers?

Bridget: Quite happy. You saw the follow up ct scan?

Taylor: Yeah.

Bridget: This is exactly where I would expect steffy to be.

Taylor: What about her memory?

Bridget: Taylor. You, of all people, know we don’t worry about that yet.

Taylor: Yeah, as a doctor. Sure. I’ve been trying to stay positive around my family. Not let them know what I’m feeling. But as a mother, I’m freaking out, bridget.

Bridget: Just remember, she regained consciousness.

Taylor: Yeah, hm.

Bridget: That was our biggest hurdle. Taylor, look at me. You got to hang in there, okay?

Taylor: Yes. Thank you. I’m– I’m trying. I’m trying.

Bridget: Don’t forget, it may not be such a bad thing that she doesn’t recall everything, just for the time being.

[ Sighing ]

Taylor: I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like for her to have to recall that horrific night. To experience those emotions again, and all of that but I know that it’s important, so she can tell us who did this, so we can put them behind bars.

Bridget: Well, it was a good sign that she woke up and knows who she is, who we are. We just need to give her some time to remember the events of that night.

Taylor: But when is she going to remember? When is she gonna be able to tell us what happened?

Quinn: Who knew paris and I would have so much in common. I should go and find her. Give her some advice–

Carter: No, no, no. Please don’T. Don’t do that.

Quinn: What? Professor quinn, how to get over carter walton 101.

Carter: Why is this funny? Why– why are you joking right now?

[ Chuckling ]

Quinn: Are you sure things are really over?

Carter: Yes. Yes. Falling for a woman involved with another man? Fool me once, right?

Quinn: Are you all right?

Carter: Can I tell you the truth?

Quinn: Always.

Carter: I haven’t been all right since you went back to eric. Been a bit of a mess, very confused, and– instead of moving on with a woman who’s available, what do I do? I hook up with zende’s girlfriend, he’s one of my best friends, and then– I let something happen with the woman I knew I couldn’t have. A relationship I knew would go nowhere.

Quinn: Why would you do that to yourself?

Carter: Because I couldn’t go after a woman with actual potential. Couldn’t risk starting something, not when…

Quinn: Not when what?

Carter: Not when a part of me is… still wanting… wishing. I miss you, quinn. I miss you.

Quinn: I miss you, too.

Taylor: It’s so upsetting, knowing that whoever did this is just walking around free.

Bridget: I know. I understand. I really, really do understand your frustration. But you have got to have some patience. You know, we just have to hope that steffy will be able to remember everything.

Taylor: You don’t really believe that she won’t, do you? See, I–I’ve been trying to stay strong for my family. Not wanting them to see that there is– there’s a part of me that is afraid that she’s not going to remember anything. You think the same thing too, don’t you? You think it’s possible& steffy might not remember what happened that night?

Brooke: Must be a little strange for you. Your husband has barely left the hospital since he found out, practically holding vigil at his ex-wife’s bedside.

Hope: Uh mom, steffy is very important to liam.

Brooke: Yes, they share a history.

Hope: And they share a child. So trust me, liam is exactly where he should be.

Brooke: Okay. What about you?

Hope: What about me?

Brooke: Uh, you and liam are a couple. Why didn’t you go in there with him?

Hope: Because steffy is still in a fragile state. She experienced something very traumatic, and I don’t want to overwhelm her. And besides, liam should have alone time with her. Mom, where is all this coming from?

Hope: I just thought you should have gone in there with him, that’s all. I mean, why wouldn’t you go in there? Liam is your husband.

Hope: I know that, mom. I know. And you don’t have to worry because nothing is going to change that.

[ Groaning ]

Ridge: Hey.

Steffy: Dad?

Ridge: You’re all right? You’re in pain?

Steffy: A little bit. Where am I? What happened?

Ridge: Wait, wait, you’re in the hospital, we talked about this. You– everything’s fine.

Steffy: Oh. Yeah, you– you want me to remember.

Ridge: Don’t worry about that.

Steffy: Yeah.

Ridge: Just rest, don’t worry.

Liam: Hey. Room for one more?

Ridge: Sure.

Liam: I, uh– I heard a rumor somebody is up and talking.

Steffy: Liam! Oh, liam.

Liam: Hey! Hey. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. There you are. Oh, boy. Look at you. Look at your smile. You really came back to us, didn’t you? Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? What I would have done if you had left us?

Steffy: I would never leave you. I would never, ever, ever leave you. Thank god you’re here. Thank god.

Liam: Honey, of course I’m here. I’m here.

Steffy: I needed you. Oh, I needed you. I needed you. I needed my sweet husband. Oh, I needed you. My sweet husband. [ Steffy sobbing ] [ Sobbing ]

Ridge: I can’t believe this. You could’ve died tonight.

Taylor: Yes. I…I was on the roof of the hospital, and–

Ridge: And she saved your life.

Taylor: Yeah. She did. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for sheila.

[Birds chirping]

Eric: [Sighs]

Quinn: You know, we didn’t have to come in to work today. Could’ve stayed home.

Eric: No, I wanted to come in to feel like we were doing something instead of just sitting around waiting.

[Sighs]

Quinn: Hey.

Eric: Thank god steffy’s regained consciousness.

Quinn: Yeah. Steffy and finn being shot– it’S…surreal.

Eric: Yeah. It’s hard to believe finn’s gone.

Quinn: [Sighs]

Eric: We just have to rally around steffy and the children. We have to do that. We have to help them get past this as a family. We’ve overcome so much before. We’ll overcome this, too.

Carter: Hey.

Zende: Hey. What’s up, man?

Carter: Thanks again for keeping me updated till I can get here.

Zende: Hey, man, we appreciate you holding down the fort at forrester with everything going on here.

[Cellphone chimes]

Carter: Uh, liam and hope stopped by the cafeteria. They wanna know if you want anything.

Zende: I’m good.

Paris: Yeah, me, too. I just–I can’t imagine how scared steffy and finn must have been. They didn’t deserve this, and ah–I just can’t believe finn is gone.

Carter: Can’t imagine what taylor and ridge are going through, seeing steffy in that hospital bed. They already lost one daughter. I just–I hate this is happening to them.

Zende: And to all of us. You’re not just a best friend to ridge. You’re like a brother to him. You’re a part of this family.

Carter: Yeah, you guys are like family to me, too.

Zende: Believe me, we know. Your love and loyalty is felt. Thank you for being a great friend to all of us.

Zende: Here.

Carter: Oh, thanks, man.

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Paris took off?

Zende: Yeah, she didn’t want to, but she had to go meet up with her mom. I did get to speak to bridget, though.

Carter: Any updates?

Zende: Not yet. Steffy’s still resting.

Carter: That’s good.

Zende: Yeah. Yeah. Um…now’s probably not the right time.

Carter: For?

Zende: I wanted to talk to you, maybe get some advice.

Carter: Okay. Well, we have some time before we should head back to the office. You know, steffy wouldn’t want us holding vigil when there’s work to be done.

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: What’s up?

Zende: Well, I know I told paris that we’d take things slow, and I have been dating other women.

Carter: Plural? Not just sequoyah?

Zende: Yeah, listen, I’ve been doing what I can to keep paris off of my mind, but I can’T. I’m in love with her. And this whole experience– it proves that life is too short. I’m ready to make paris my wife, and I hope that she’s ready, too. I…I know I can make her happy. I would treat her like a queen.

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, of course you would.

Zende: So? What do you think? I mean, you know paris really well.

Carter: Follow your heart. Propose to her.

Ridge: I’m grateful that you saved taylor’s life. I am, and I’m grateful that there was no more tragedy. But we have to focus on steffy now. She needs us. And what happened to you is horrible. You need to mourn your son, but what are you doing, jumping off a building? That’s not gonna bring finn back.

Baker: Unfortunately, nothing is going to bring him back. But I can and I will do everything in my power to make sure that the trash that shot finn and steffy is found and brought to justice.

Sheila: Excuse me.

Taylor: Sheila–

Sheila: No, it’s all right. I’m gonna be all right. You just talk to the deputy chief.

Woman over P.A.: Dr. Forrest, dial 118, please. Dr. Forrest, please dial 118.

Sheila: [Exhales deeply] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Zende: Hey, quinn.

Quinn: Hey, zende.

Zende: Granddad.

Ridge: Hi. Hi, son.

Zende: [Sighs]

Ridge: Any updates on steffy?

Zende: Just that she’s stable and still resting.

Quinn: How are ridge and taylor doing?

Zende: Staying strong. I don’t know how they’re doing it.

Eric: They’re forresters. That’s how they do it. Son, what’s up? How you feeling? Everything okay?

Zende: Yeah. Yeah, I’ve just been thinking about family and how important it is and to never let go of what makes you happy. I can’t wait anymore, granddad. I can’T.

Eric: Can’t wait for what?

Zende: Ask paris to be my wife.

Carter: [Sighs]

[Knock on door] Hey, uh, paris, I’m in the middle–

Paris: Don’t do that. I know you’ve been avoiding me.

Carter: You’re right. It sucks, but it’s the right thing to do for the both of us.

Paris: Why is that something you get to decide?

Carter: Because I’ve been down this road, and I know how it ends.

Paris: You think you–

Carter: Paris, stop. We’re not doing this. This is never gonna happen. I’m wrong for you. You should be with zende, not me.

Baker: Okay, let me know if anything goes down.

Ridge: New leads?

Baker: Well, not yet. I was just talking with our cyber team. The restaurant’s cameras have been down. The only other camera that might be able to help was on an atm, but somebody put a decal across it.

Ridge: So we’re nowhere closer to finding out who shot finn or steffy.

Baker: We’re on it. In the meantime, I understand that steffy’s regained consciousness? That’s what I’m here for. I’d like to speak with her.

Taylor: No, I don’t– I don’t think that’s gonna happen right now. She’s really in no position to be questioned.

Baker: Dr. Hayes, your concern about your daughter is understandable, but steffy is my only witness. Anything she says could be helpful.

Taylor: Right.

Ridge: We tried talking to her when she woke up.

Baker: What did she say?

Ridge: She was disoriented. She didn’t remember anything about the shooting. Not yet, anyway.

Steffy: You shot your son! You’re a monster!

[Sobs] You’re going to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: I didn’t even know he was here!

Steffy: Oh, you’re sick. You’re sick!

Deacon: Sheila. I came to check on you. You shouldn’t be alone.

Sheila: I deserve to be. Oh, somehow I really don’t think I am. After ever–everything that’s been happening and what I’ve been going through, something really amazing happened today, too.

Deacon: Amazing?

Sheila: I saved taylor’s life. (Nathan m) secondhand smoke

Eric: Well, I have to say, with everything that’s going on, it’s very nice to hear some good news for a change.

Zende: Thank you, granddad. And I know we’re young, but she makes me happy.

Eric: I can see the joy she brings to you.

Quinn: Okay, I don’t mean to be a downer here. I don’T. Uh, but are you sure that paris feels the same way? ‘Cause I remember her telling you that she wanted to keep things casual?

Zende: She did, but it’s a gut thing, you know? I feel it in my heart, I mean, I know that paris is my future.

Paris: So you’re saying that we can’t be together? That could never happen?

Carter: We can’T.

Paris: I thought you said you loved me. Was that true? Because if you love me, and I love you, why can’t we figure out a way to make it work? And if this is about my mother–

Carter: Yes, paris, of course this is about your mother. Her–her reaction is the same exact reaction everyone else will have if they found out. I’ve been forgiven for my involvement with quinn, but I’m pretty much on probation around here. That nice guy with the moral compass is gone to them, probably forever, and I won’t let the same thing happen to you.

Paris: Carter…

Carter: No! Look, paris, as much as I care about you, I can’t give you what zende can. I spoke to him. He loves you. He wants to make a life with you. Zende is your future.

Taylor: I can’t believe this is happening.

Ridge: Steffy’s gonna be fine.

Taylor: Yeah. I know. Just…seeing her in there like that, it just reminds me of phoebe. I can’t lose her.

Ridge: Oh, don’t do that. You’re not losing steffy. She’s way too stubborn to go anywhere.

Taylor: [Chuckles] You always know the right things to say.

Ridge: Mm. You know why, right?

Taylor: Mnh-mnh.

Ridge: I used to be married to this really good psychiatrist.

Taylor: Was she world-renowned?

Ridge: Ha ha! Yeah, I guess she was. Steffy’s gonna be okay. We’re all gonna be okay.

Taylor: My hearts breaks for li and jack… sheila.

Ridge: Sheila. So now that she’s gone, why don’t you tell me what happened between the two of you on the roof?

Taylor: Aah! No! Don’t drop me!

[Exhales deeply] Sheila. The same woman who… destroyed my life years ago saved it.

Deacon: Taylor almost fell off the roof?

Sheila: Not almost. She did. She could’ve died.

Deacon: [Gasps] This–this is just like– it’s such a head trip.

Sheila: Tell me about it.

Deacon: Wait a minute. What were you and taylor doing on top of the roof?

Sheila: That’s where she found me. I wanted to end my life, deacon. Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Paris: I wish you would stop pushing me towards zende.

Carter: That’s where you would be if this never happened. And yeah, you’re not ready for commitment with him, but you love zende, and he loves you. It would have only been a matter of time if I never interfered.

Paris: Interfered? We fell for each other.

Carter: And it was wrong. And I’m sorry, paris. What we shared, it felt wonderful, but it should have never happened. We can’t be together.

Paris: Everybody thinks they have a say in how I feel. Everyone wants to tell me which way to go–you, my mother. But I need to make one thing clear. I’m a grown woman. I don’t need to be protected by you or my mom. I make my own decisions.

Carter: Paris, I–

Paris: I’m not done. I make my own decisions, and I’m deciding you. I’d risk it. For you, I’d risk my job, my standing with the forrester family, if it means I get to be with you. You’re worth the risk, carter.

Carter: Well, it’s not worth the risk to me.

Paris: You don’t mean that.

Carter: I do. I won’t ruin your life.

Paris: [Scoffs]

Carter: Whatever this is between us, it’s over. Zende wants to be your husband. If he proposes, and he will, you should accept. Make a life with zende.

Paris: [Sobs]

Carter: I just want you to be happy.

Carter: [Exhales deeply]

[Door closes]

Quinn: Really? You and paris?

Ridge: So I could have lost you? Steffy and thomas could have lost their mother because of sheila?

Taylor: Sheila was shattered by finn’s death, and, ridge, I don’t know. I could see how much she was hurting, and when I went to go find her, I…she was– she was about to jump. I didn’t know what to do. So I just–I…I… I lunged towards her, and I–

Ridge: And you fell off the roof?

Taylor: Then–but then somehow sheila just grabbed me, and she–she pulled me back up.

Ridge: And you know what? I’m very grateful for that. But let’s not forget all the things she’s done to our family.

Taylor: Well, but…I’m– I’m not forgetting that this is A…pretty good start.

Ridge: How–how is that? No. The woman shot you. One good deed doesn’t erase all the evil she’s done. Don’t–don’t tell me you’re looking at her differently.

Deacon: You were really gonna jump?

[Sighs] Sheila, I can only imagine the kind of pain that you’re in. Finn was a great man. He was a great father. And he didn’t deserve to die, but neither do you. I just didn’t realize that you were in such a dark place. I know this sounds cliché, but it will get easier.

Sheila: Oh, would you just spare me? You have no idea what I’m going through. You know, everything I touch, everyone that I love, I hurt and I destroy. I never should have come back to L.A.

Deacon: Sheila, stop.

Sheila: If only I hadn’t come back to L.A.

Deacon: You can’t blame yourself. None of this was your fault.

Steffy: You’re going to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Put it down now! No!

Ridge: Doc… sheila hasn’t changed.

Taylor: She saved my life, ridge.

Ridge: The only reason you were on that roof is because of her. Wherever this woman goes, chaos follows her, and she’s at her lowest right now. Makes her more dangerous. Trying to figure out what she’s gonna do to this family next.

Sheila: [Gasps]

Ridge: Do you remember anything about what happened that night?

Steffy: [ Groaning ]

Ridge: Do you remember the person that shot you?

Taylor: Honey, it’s okay if you can’t remember right now. The last thing your father and I want to do is cause you any more stress. We’re just– we’re just trying to figure out how you got here, baby. Can you remember anything that happened in il giardino?

Ridge: Anything? Anything at all?

[ Steffy groaning ] What are– I’m sorry, I can’T. What did you say? Who shot you?

Steffy: Ah… der. Ah– other.

Liam: Thank god steffy’s awake.

Paris: Yeah, you must be extremely relieved.

Liam: Oh. Beyond. I mean, it’s only one hurdle down, but, you know, it’s a big one.

Zende: I can’t even imagine, man. I’m so happy for my family.

Paris: Ah, especially ridge and taylor. They’ve been praying so hard.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, we– bridget did say that steffy’s condition is still serious, but regaining consciousness, that– that’s a big deal.

Hope: God, I really feel like there’s a real reason to hope now. And you can breathe a little easier. We all can.

Liam: Yeah. You know what’s funny? Is I’ve been so worried that this moment would never come, but in retrospect, it’s like, “oh, yeah, it’s steffy.” Like, of course she’s going to pull through.

Paris: Of course she is. She’s fierce. I mean, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hope: And she would never, ever leave kelly or hayes.

Zende: No, they need her too much right now.

Liam: All right, I just want scoop them up and squeeze them. I mean, I–I’m being realistic. I know steffy has a long ways to go, but, my god, she’s been given another chance, you know?

Hope: I love you too. Bye. Right, well, my mom is beyond thrilled, and she’d like to come to the hospital, but she, um, also wants to be respectful of this moment with ridge and his family.

Liam: Oh, yeah, I could see that. Well, steffy might be a little overwhelmed right now.

Zende: Yeah, let’s just be glad that they’re all in there and they’re getting to spend some time together.

Paris: Yeah. I wonder how much steffy is aware of what happened. Like, if she knows who shot her?

Ridge: Who shot you? Try to say it again, please.

Steffy: Ah… der.

Ridge: I don’t understand, I’m sorry.

Taylor: Okay, maybe we should just give her a minute, okay?

Ridge: No, see, she wants– she wants to say something. What is it? Honey, did you remember anything? Their face, maybe? You remember their face?

Thomas: Okay. Obviously, it hurts for her to talk, but maybe, maybe she could write it down?

Sheila: Clearly, she’s struggling. Thomas, you don’t want to do anything that’s gonna–

Ridge: Nobody asked your opinion.

Taylor: Okay, okay. She’s very fragile right now. We just need to give her a minute, okay?

Steffy: No… no.

Thomas: No, see? She wants to tell us something.

Ridge: Go ahead. Tell us. What do you– what do you know?

Steffy: Ot… her.

Ridge: I’m sor– what? I’m sorry.

Steffy: Need… water.

Taylor: Wat– water?

Thomas: She needs water. Yeah, okay.

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Water pouring ]

Thomas: Here you go, I got some water.

Taylor: Here you go. Can you hold it here, baby? Here you go. Here you go.

Ridge: Hey, take it easy.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Anything? Do you know what happened? Do you– do you remember anything?

Unleash the freshness…

Zende: We are too. Okay, great. Yes. Spread the word. Thanks, carter, we’ll see you soon. Everyone at forrester is thrilled to hear the good news about steffy. Uh, any update while I was on the phone?

Liam: Uh, no. Oh, but maybe thomas knows. Hey.

Thomas: Hi, you guys are great for being here.

Paris: We’re just so worried about your sister. And– and carter’s on the way, too. How is– how is steffy doing?

Liam: She’s still conscious, right?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah, and she is a little out of it, though.

Hope: Well, I can imagine. She must be confused by everything that’s happening.

Thomas: Yeah.

Liam: Has she spoken yet?

Thomas: Well, yeah. I mean, she– she did ask for some water.

Hope: That’s great.

Liam: Hey.

Thomas: Yeah.

Paris: Okay. Yeah, that’s good. It might just take her a little while to get her bearings again.

Thomas: Yeah, they did say it could take some time.

Zende: How are your parents doing? I mean, this must be a huge weight off their shoulders.

Thomas: Yeah, they– they’ve been by her bedside this entire time.

Paris: I’m sure she could feel them. All that love from everyone surrounding her. Rallying for her.

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, she could definitely use as much positive energy as possible.

Hope: Well, I know I– bridget said she was still being closely monitored.

Liam: But they– but they’re saying that the worst of it is over, right?

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, she– she won the battle, but there’s a whole war, you know, so you just have to help her through it all and– and hope that there aren’t any more surprises.

Taylor: You just need to take it easy, sweetheart. I mean, you’re– you need to rest so your body can heal.

Ridge: Anything you want, anything we can get you?

Taylor: You know what might be great? You know those–those ice pops that she used to like?

Ridge: Oh, yeah. It would melt all over the back seat of the car, remember those? Purple ones.

Taylor: Yeah. Oh, honey. I mean, I’m sure your mind is going a million miles a minute right now, trying to process everything and all these questions being thrown at you. But the most important thing right now is for you just to– just relax, to– to breathe. Don’t push yourself, okay? The doctors are giving you medicine to– to keep you calm, but no opioids. Are you in any pain?

Steffy: Mm-mm.

Taylor: Okay. We’ll– we’re going to stay on top of that.

Ridge: That is vip treatment you’re getting from dr. Taylor hayes.

Taylor: You’re going to be fine, sweetheart. Your dad and I are making sure you get excellent care.

Bridget: How’s our patient?

Taylor: Oh, she’s– she’s tired, but she’s alert.

Bridget: Steffy? Hi, honey, it’s bridget. How are you feeling?

Steffy: Okay. Do you know why you’re here?

Steffy: Shot.

Bridget: That’s right. Listen to me. You are doing very, very well. I’m pleased with the progress you’re making.

Taylor: She’s really not saying much.

Bridget: It’s such a good sign, how responsive she is. It– it’s pretty much what I would expect at this stage in recovery.

Ridge: I asked her if she can recall anything of that night. She can’T.

Bridget: That– that’s not surprising.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: No, but, uh, I think maybe she might have repressed the traumatic memory.

Sheila: So, is– is there a chance that she’ll never remember what happened that night?

Bridget: She may not. This could also just be temporary. Uh, sounds and images might come back in grainy little snippets. But on the other hand, they might come back very vividly, just flooding her memory. It’s extremely hard to predict the situation, but I will order a– a neuro consult asap.

Taylor: No, I think it’s probably a good idea for us to give her a healthy amount of space.

Bridget: That’s smart. Her brain and her body is extremely fatigued.

Taylor: You know, if I know my daughter, and I do, she’s going to want justice. Whoever did this, she’s going to hold them accountable, but as her mother, right now, all I care about is that she’s awake. She– she’s back with us.

[ Ridge chuckling ] If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Thomas: Bottom line is, as of now, steffy is stable. She’s hanging in there.

Liam: I mean, I’m– I’m optimistic, obviously, but I’m also very aware of the 800 other things that could mess up her recovery.

Thomas: You and me both.

Paris: Yeah, I– I think we’re all feeling like that. Hopeful, but scared.

Thomas: But, you know, steffy would say, uh, to– to keep the positive energy. Right? Keep our chins up. That’s what she would tell us to do. Because you know what? There’s a long road ahead, but she can use it.

Paris: Well, we will do anything to help get her out of here.

Zende: And tell her that everyone at the office was celebrating when they heard she’d woken up.

Thomas: Ah, she’ll love to hear that.

Liam: So, did– I mean, does she have any recollection or memory of what happened, or who did this to her?

Thomas: I mean, my dad’s been asking her questions, trying to spark that memory, but she’s really groggy. As of now, steffy doesn’t remember anything.

Bridget: Her reflexes are good, her blood pressure’s stabilizing. I am going to order another infusion of antibiotics.

Taylor: So, steffy’s condition is improving?

Bridget: Well, all I can say is she’s stable at the moment. I know you all are very, very concerned. And I’m not saying that there won’t be complications or challenges in the future, but she’s responding so well to treatment.

Taylor: It’s wonderful. It’s wonderful.

Ridge: Thank you, bridget, for everything.

Taylor: Yes, thank you so much. Finn would be so happy to know that his wife is being cared for by such a great doctor.

Bridget: It’s my pleasure, my job. I– I’m just so grateful I could be here for her. I will keep you all updated.

Taylor: This is everything I’ve been waiting for!

Sheila: We, uh, shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves because steffy’s condition is still touch and go. But I’m so happy for you, taylor.

Taylor: Thank you. All these hours that we’ve been waiting here, just hoping and praying that she’s going to be okay.

Ridge: All right. I have to tell you something. I may have made a deal with the big guy upstairs, and there might be a price to pay, but I’ll do it gladly.

Taylor: Oh, ridge. We are so blessed. We– we really are. You know, I’ve been– I’ve been trying to stay positive, I– I really have, you know? But I– every hour that passed, I kept thinking. I don’t know. I got scared that maybe steffy wasn’t gonna wake up, that maybe we weren’t gonna see her again–

Ridge: No, no, she is, she’s here, right? She’s gonna be okay. I can feel it in my bones. How are we going to tell her about finn? What are we gonna say?

Ridge: We’ll just– we’ll have to be strong for her– we have to. We’ll just have to be there for her. Hey. Our hearts go out to you, and I hope you find peace and calm in… how you’re dealing with finn’s death, but, uh, it’s time for you to go.

Taylor: Hey–

Ridge: It’s family business.

Sheila: It’s just– I– I really thought that–

Taylor: Ridge. It’s okay. She can stay. Sheila is the grandmother of steffy’s child. She’s a part of us. She belongs here.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Liam: Uh, hi– hey. We were hoping we might get to see steffy for a minute.

Nurse: Sure. She’s asleep. Just press the call button if she needs anything.

Hope: Thank you.

Liam: Okay, yeah. Thanks. Hey, steffy. It’s liam.

Hope: And hope.

Liam: We, uh– we heard the good news. Just wanted to come see for ourselves, and, uh, look at that. You actually came back to us. You’re going to be back to your old self in no time.

Hope: And– and we know you’ve already been through so much already, and you’re probably exhausted. But, uh, zende and paris were here at the hospital and they want you to know that everyone from work is thinking about you and sending their love and– and so does my mom.

Liam: Yeah, um, yeah, I’m also– I’m sure you’re, uh– you’re gonna be thinking about the kids. So, I want you to know they’re great. They’re doing totally great. Nothing to worry about there. Kelly and hayes have been loved and cared for and they’re going to continue to be until you can get out of this bed and do it yourself, which is going to happen in no time. You’re going to be back on your feet. So, you just keep doing what you’re doing. You fight the good fight. Get better. Okay? All right.

Hope: You get your rest now.

Liam: Yeah.

Ridge: Wait. You’re saying she’s– she’s a part of us? She should stay? Is that– is that what–

Taylor: That’s what I’m saying.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, if you just let me explain–

Ridge: No, let me explain something. I don’t wanna be the bad guy here. She’s not part of our family.

Sheila: My son is dead–

Ridge: I know he’s dead! I know that. Finn was a good kid. We’re all going to mourn him. You– you can mourn him in your time, with your friends, your family, not ours. We need to focus on steffy. Everything we have is going to go towards her. And you know what? I don’t think she’d want you here.

Taylor: She– she would. She would, if she knew what just happened, ridge. Something you don’t know. I have– I have to tell him. Ridge, something– something happened, uh– sheila was in a very, very dark place. Finn’s death profoundly affected her.

Ridge: Of course, it has– I’m not saying it hasn’T.

Taylor: I was worried about sheila. Something was– was really wrong. So, I went to look for her. And I found her on the roof.

Ridge: You– you were gonna end your life, you were gonna jump? Really?

Sheila: I– I’m not proud to admit that.

Taylor: Something happened up there. Something happened up there, ridge, she– sheila saved my life.

Ridge: What does that– what does that mean, she saved your life?

Taylor: She saved my life.

Ridge: How?

Taylor: She was– I don’t– she was about to jump. She was about to jump off the ledge. And– and I rushed up to her. And I– I don’t know what happened, but I slipped and I fell off the roof. Don’t drop me! And I was– I was– I was literally dangling off– off the ledge. And I– I don’t know how she did it, but she… no, don’t drop me! She found the strength to grab my arm and pull me back up onto the roof. Sheila saved my life, ridge. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her.

Steffy: No…

Taylor: What is it, sweetheart?

Steffy: Shei… la…

Liam: Nobody’s here. Why is nobody here?

Hope: I’m sure they’re all in with steffy.

Liam: Yeah, okay. Yeah. I just can’t– I can’t even believe this is happening, like the fact that steffy’s even laying in a hospital bed right now, like why– who would do this? Who would do this to steffy and finn, of all people?

Hope: Oh, bridget, is there any word on steffy?

Bridget: You haven’t heard yet? It’s good news! She regained consciousness!

Liam: Wha– what? Really? Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god.

Hope: She’s going to be okay!

Liam: Yes. Yes.

Thomas: You had us all scared, sis.

Taylor: Yeah. But we need you to come back to the people that love you and need you.

Ridge: She was guided.

Taylor: What does that mean?

Ridge: Well, I had a word with the big man and he answered. It’s a long story.

Steffy: What… what happened?

Liam: Oh, my god, this is amazing. I– I can’t believe it. So, so what, so what exactly– what does this mean? Is– is steffy out of danger now, or–

Bridget: No, no, no, she still has a fight ahead of her, but regaining consciousness is a step in the right direction for sure. I am cautiously optimistic.

Hope: All right, well, we’ll take iT.

Liam: Yeah, totally. Thank you for telling us. Di– I assume the team knows about steffy’s history with opioids and all that– okay, all right. Thank you.

Bridget: Uh, I will keep you guys in the loop. But I’m gonna check on her condition.

Liam: Yeah, no, no, yeah, go do your thing. Do your thing. Oh, my god!

Zende: We came to check on steffy.

Hope: Gosh!

Paris: Any updates?

Hope: Uh, you actually got here just in time.

Liam: Uh, so get this, bridget just told us steffy regained consciousness.

Zende: Man, what a relief. What’s the prognosis?

Liam: Uh, it’s just well, still some obstacles ahead, but– but it is a major improvement.

Steffy: Hos… a hospital?

Ridge: That’s right.

Taylor: Don’t– don’t try to talk, sweetheart, please. Save your strength, your body has been through a tremendous shock.

Thomas: Uh, you don’t remember why you’re here, huh?

Ridge: You were shot.

Steffy: Shot?

Zende: You can imagine how shocked we were when we heard what happened.

Hope: Oh my gosh, no one told the office. I feel so bad, I should have called. I’m sorry.

Paris: No, wait. You’re literally going through a tragedy.

Zende: It’s a double tragedy. But what the hell happened?

Paris: Yeah, is– is finn really dead?

Hope: It’s horrible, and it hasn’t really sunken in yet because we’ve all been so focused on steffy.

Paris: I was hoping that that was some kind of mistake through word getting around. Like, yeah, he’s been shot, but he’s still alive. How can it be any other way?

Zende: Thank god we didn’t lose both of them. Steffy, she’s gonna make it, right?

Hope: No, she has to.

Liam: I mean, it’s steffy, right? She’s not about to abandon her kids.

Hope: Poor hayes has lost his father now.

Zende: Finn was a good man.

Paris: So… what are the circumstances?

Liam: I mean, they don’t know exactly. They– they think it’s a robbery gone wrong.

Paris: What was taken?

Liam: Okay, so: Steffy’s purse, finn’s wallet and cell phone, and then, just, just their rings.

Paris: Anyone else find it strange why steffy and finn would even be there?

Zende: It’s a long valet line, maybe? They could have had dinner and parked out back.

Paris: I mean, I– I suppose. I don’t know, maybe it was a wrong place, wrong time thing? Does– does steffy know that finn is gone?

Liam: Yeah, see I– see, that’s a good question, and we don’T… I don’t know, I mean, I guess it would just depend on like, the timing. Right? ‘Cause if– oh, god, if, you know, finn was shot first…

Zende: Either way, this is awful. Steffy lost a husband and– and hayes lost his father.

Paris: Who would do something like this? Anyone who knew steffy and finn, how incredible and extraordinary they were– I mean, it had to be a stranger.

Zende: I mean– I don’t know, if you’re trying to piece this together, they– I mean, clearly, they had dinner, right? And I guess maybe they just– they left the restaurant out of the back for whatever reason and I suppose they just walked into something they couldn’t have anticipated.

Liam: I guess, I–

Paris: Oh how’s– how’s ridge?

Liam: Uh, you know, I mean he’s– he’s hanging in there, he’s– it’s ridge, he’s trying to be strong for his family, but, uh, it’s– it’s tough.

Zende: I’m sure. Steffy, she’s the light of uncle ridge’s life. I don’t even want to imagine what losing her would do to him.

Liam: Well, unfortunately she’s not– you know, we’re not in the clear yet. Bridget said there still might be complications.

Paris: But she did sound optimistic.

Liam: Cautiously, she said.

Hope: Yeah, but I mean, we can’t count steffy out. She’s a fighter.

Liam: Well, that much is true.

Hope: Yeah, I mean, she’s made it this far. I can only imagine that she’ll– she’ll find her way back.

Paris: Yeah, I mean there’s no way she’s leaving those kids. Hayes and kelly, they mean everything to her.

Zende: How you holding up, liam? This whole thing must be a nightmare for you.

Liam: Uh, thank you, thanks for asking. I, um– okay, I, it’s just– it’s, it’s steffy, so that, you know, there’s a lot of history there. We share a child together, we– we went through great pains to, you know, blend our families so that we could co-parent kelly. The thought of her not being around to see kelly grow up, I– I don’t know, it’s just, it’s not– it’s not something I was mentally prepared for facing.

Hope: Well, you don’t have to, okay? Steffy’s not going anywhere.

Liam: Yeah.

Paris: No way, but it goes to show how you have to cherish every moment. It can be gone just like that.

Hope: Something we shouldn’t take for granted.

Zende: Yeah, but I keep coming back to the same place in my mind. I mean, steffy and finn are good people. They don’t make them any better. Who– who would just shoot them and then just disappear into the night?

Steffy: You shot your son.

We need to get help!

You’re sick.

You’re sick. You’re going

to prison for the rest

of your life!

Taylor: This is too much right now. You just woke up.

Sheila: Yeah, taylor is right. You wanna take things slowly. You don’t wanna jeopardize steffy’s recovery. Her condition is still very fragile.

Ridge: Hey, sheila. Thank you. I think we got it.

Taylor: Okay. She’s just trying to help.

Ridge: We don’t need her help. If anyone knows what to do for steffy, it’s us, the three of us. Her family.

Sheila: I– I wasn’t trying to imply anything other than that. It– it’s just… there’s plenty of time for– for her remembering what had to be an incredibly traumatic event.

Ridge: You know what. That surprises me. I thought you want to find the shooter. Make sure they go to jail for what they did.

Steffy: Shot…

Taylor: Yes, baby, it was awful.

Steffy: Why? And there it is.

Hope: You hanging in there?

Liam: Yeah. I’m– you know, I’m just beyond grateful that steffy’s awake, but I guess I’m still processing.

Hope: I know.

Paris: I just don’t understand how this is real. Finn is gone. Like, he’ll never be able to teach hayes how to throw a football or save another patient’s life. How can that be?

Zende: I can’t imagine steffy without him.

Liam: You know something? I don’t think I ever told finn how much I appreciated him just loving my child. No questions asked.

Hope: Sweetie, I’m sure finn knew how grateful you were.

Liam: I don’t know how to tell kelly she’s never gonna see him again.

Hope: Well, when steffy feels up to it, we will find a way to tell her together as a family.

Paris: But for now, she’s just gotta keep fighting.

Hope: And she will. For the kids. Especially hayes, because he needs her more now than ever.

[ Liam groaning ]

Liam: It’s just, I don’t– I don’t understand how– I mean, it’s just the way that we lost finn. It’s like, it’s so senseless, it’s–

Paris: Over money or credit cards?

Liam: Yeah.

Paris: It’s j– that doesn’t make sense, and I know steffy and finn would have given whatever the person wanted, so why shoot them?

Zende: We’re trying to make sense out of something that’s totally random.

Paris: I just hope the police are close to catching the person who did this.

Hope: Well, I mean maybe steffy will be able to shed some light on the situation now that she’s awake.

Liam: With any luck. Identify the son of a bitch who did it.

Sheila: Why? You mean, why were you shot?

Ridge: It appears to have been a robbery.

Thomas: Yeah, stef, um, whenever we find out who did this to you–

Taylor: You know, I think we should– I think we should give her some– some time here. You know, she just– she just woke up. She’s still very fragile.

Steffy: What happened?

Ridge: What happened, the police is trying to put together now. What do you think happened? Do you remember anything? Do you remember someone’s face, maybe, or a car pulling away, anything like that?

Steffy: I…

Taylor: Okay, okay, let’s– let’s not push her. Okay, she needs to rest. The police are gonna be questioning her.

Ridge: I get it, I get all that. There’s a lunatic running around with a gun.

Taylor: I know.

Ridge: I don’t want somebody else’s kid being shot.

Taylor: I know, but–

Sheila: You know, as– as a trained nurse, though, it’s my professional opinion that you don’t want to– you don’t want overstress her. You don’t want to cause anything that might have her regress. What’s most important right now is– is her complete recovery.

Ridge: Steffy, try to remember. Restaurant. The alley. Is there anything– who do you think put you here?

Zende: How you doing over here?

Paris: Um, I’m just trying to imagine moving on without finn and I can’T. I can’t quite get there.

Zende: Yeah, I, um, I know you guys were close.

Paris: I mean, he was so alive. So full of love and laughter, and– and goofiness. Finn was so fun, and a great dad and and amazing partner and husband to steffy. Kind and warm, a healer, and now he’s just gone because of some random robbery?

Zende: It’s crazy.

Paris: I mean, I got to know him when I moved in to steffy’s, and he’s a wonderful guy. And he didn’t deserve this. Being shot dead in an alley and just left there. He didn’t deserve this.

Hope: You know what really hurts? This was the happiest I had ever seen steffy in all her life. With her husband, and her family, and now that’s broken.

Liam: Yeah, she’S… she’s gonna need all of us when she realizes.

Zende: And we’ll be right there for her.

Paris: Yeah. Whatever she needs.

Liam: I guess I just hope that everything that happened to her, you know, getting shot and losing her husband… she’s such a– steffy’s such a fearless person, I just don’t want it to change her, you know?

Paris: It won’T.

Hope: She’s got so many people who love and support her, and we will all be there for her.

Liam: Yeah. And then there’s kelly.

Hope: I know. We got kelly too.

Liam: Put me in a room with the guy who did this, I swear to god.

Paris: Seriously.

Hope: You know what, I think we should focus on the positives. Steffy has regained consciousness. That’s amazing. And now we just need to concentrate on getting her all the way back.

Paris: And for us to pick up the slack in the meantime.

Zende: It’s crazy that we even have to. I mean, steffy should be out there being the boss lady everyone knows and loves. Who would want to shut her down like this?

Ridge: Honey, I know it’s hard but you gotta try. There’s a lunatic out there with a gun. I don’t want anyone else getting hurt. Why were you at il giardino’s?

Steffy: I do not remember.

Ridge: Okay, you have to try to remember, please.

Sheila: Ridge, you know what, this really isn’t–

Ridge: Sheila! This is between me and my daughter. Please, be quiet.

Steffy: Uh…

Ridge: What? Are you remembering something?

Steffy: Uh…

Thomas: Yeah, stef. Anything. You remember what they look like, hair color…

Steffy: Her…

Ridge: Honey? Who did this to you?

Taylor: We’re all here, baby.

Ridge: Say it one more time. Just try to say it one more time.

[ Steffy mumbling and groaning ] HeR…

Taylor: If you can tell us, please tell us. We won’t let anyone or anything ever hurt you again.

[ Grunting ]

[ Sobbing ] Thank you! You saved my life! You saved my life! Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness, together in front of ridge. But you’re right, thomas. It’s, uh– it’s really hard to see her like that. Fighting for her life.

Nurse: Pulse is 60, bp 120/80, oxygen 98.

Ridge: Tell me you got something. Anything.

Bridget: I wish I could. Just try talking to her, ridge try reaching her. We really need her to wake up.

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Well, you heard the doctor. It’s time to wake up. Time to open your eyes and come back to us.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Sheila: No, don’t– don’t thank me. I’m, uh, I’m the reason that– oh, god. I’m so sorry. Taylor, I am so sorry.

Taylor: No, don’t be sorry. I understand, sheila, you’re in so much pain.

Sheila: Yeah, but if you’d– had– if you had died too, I–

Taylor: But I didn’T. I didn’t because you saved my life.

Sheila: You saved mine.

Taylor: We saved each other’s lives. In a million years, I would have never said– said that.

[ Chuckling ] You deserve a happy life, sheila. You really do.

Sheila: Do I?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, you do. Hayes, family. And I’m here for you.

Sheila: You?

Taylor: Yeah. You saved my life, sheila. That is not something that old sheila would have done. Not at all. No, if that doesn’t give you a place in our family, I don’t know what does. And that stupid thing you were about to do, taking your own life? Sheila– what happened to finn and steffy is– is– not your fault. Please don’t blame yourself. There’s– there is nothing that any of us could have done to stop that tragedy. But– but you just stopped a tragedy from happening. You saved my life. Finn will be so proud of you. So incredibly proud. Hey, let’s, um– let’s go inside. We don’t have to tell anybody what happened, okay?

Sheila: Yeah, maybe I– maybe I should clean up.

Taylor: You think?

Sheila: Yeah. – Look, this isn’t my first rodeo,

[ Indistinct page ]

Hope: I realize this is painful for you. I know how you feel about steffy. You were married to her. You share a daughter.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, it’s– I mean– it’s a lot of history there. Just keep thinking about all the history. And I– I– I don’t know, the idea of– of losing her, the idea that kelly would lose her. It’s– it just can’T. It can’t end that way. It can’T.

Thomas: Mom. Hey, I’ve been texting. Where have you been?

Taylor: Oh, god. I’m sorry. My– my phone must have been on silent.

Thomas: Are you okay?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, um, I was just having a much needed heart to heart. How– how is steffy? Are there any updates?

Thomas: Uh, no, nothing yet.

Liam: Just, um, just waiting, hoping, you know?

Thomas: Yeah, uh, dad’s in with her right now.

Hope: Hopefully he’ll be able to reach her.

Ridge: I don’t know what to do.

[ Machines beeping ] Everyone’s been in here, and they told you how much they love you and– how life would be without you here. And nothing’s changing. Okay.

[ Sighing ] Hi. I know we haven’t talked in a while, and that’s, uh– that’s partly my fault. But I need your help. We need your help. Because you see this beautiful woman right here, this strong warrior. Well, she’s not so strong right now because someone has hurt her very badly. And I don’t think she’s strong enough to pull herself out of this, so she needs a little help from you. I can’t lose her. You’ve already taken my other daughter, and I’m– still not sure why you would do that. Who knows? Maybe it’s a numbers game up there, maybe you just– need the numbers. Well, then maybe you should take me. ‘Cause my bags were packed the day that phoebe died.

[ Breath hitching ] I don’t need to be here anymore. She does. She’s a good person. She has so much to live for. She has two little kids, but you know that already. Why would you give her two kids and not let her finish her job, let her raise them? Help her find her way back. Please. Not for me. For her. Steffy! Steffy, can you hear me? Hey– I mean– don’t strain yourself. It’s gonna be okay. Everything’s gonna be okay. You’re back. Thank you. So what’s going on?

[ Steffy groaning ]

Ridge: Sh, it’s okay. You– you’re at the hospital. But everything’s fine. Ever– everything’s fine. But we need to have you looked at. Okay?

[ Bell ringing ]

Steffy: Ho– hospital.

Ridge: Yeah, but you’re going to be fine. Everything’s going to be fine. There’s a lot of things to talk about, but we don’t need to do that right now. Bridget’s your doctor, and she’s going to come in and she can look you over.

Nurse: Need help?

Ridge: Hey, she’s coming to.

Nurse: Excellent, I’ll get dr. Forrester.

Ridge: I– I can’t wait. I got to tell your mom, that you’re back, you’re back with us.

Bridget: Ridge!

Ridge: Hey, hi. She’s waking up– I think–

Bridget: Steffy!

Sheila: So steffy is– is still unconscious? She hasn’t woken up at all? She hasn’t been able to tell anyone what happened?

Thomas: Not yet. But hopefully soon.

Taylor: We know you want answers for finn, for what happened to him. And we will find them, sheila, as soon as steffy is back with us.

Ridge: She’s awake.

Taylor: What? What?

Ridge: She’s coming to.

Taylor: What?

Ridge: Go!

Thomas: Yeah!

Taylor: Steffy!

Bridget: I don’t know what you said to her, but it worked.

Thomas: Steff, you’re back?

Steffy: B– back?

Bridget: Let’s– let’s give them a little time with her while I order some more tests. I’ll be back soon for a full examination, but in the meantime, just keep it to topics that won’t upset her.

Ridge: Yeah. Okay.

Taylor: Hi, baby, it’s mom. Can you hear me?

Steffy: M– mom?

Taylor: Yes, baby, it’s me. I’m here with your dad and your brother.

Thomas: We knew you’d make it, sis. I mean, you’re the strongest, most resilient girl we’ve ever met.

Steffy: I–

Ridge: Hey! You’re in the hospital. And you had surgery.

Steffy: Sur…

Ridge: Yeah, but you’re gonna be okay. Everything’s going to be okay. And– and, um, we’re looking after the kids, all pitching in– in until until you– you’re back. You know?

Steffy: Dad? Dad?

Ridge: Yeah. I’m right here.

Taylor: Yeah. We’re all here, baby.

Steffy: Mom.

[ Taylor sniffling ]

Thomas: Hey, sis.

Steffy: No.

Taylor: What is it, sweetheart?

Steffy: She… la.

Sheila: I’m coming. I– I’m coming, Finn. [ Sobbing ]

Taylor: Sheila! Don’t do it. Don’t jump. Don’t!

[ Footsteps ]

---

Ridge: You said Sheila ran off?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. Yeah, um, she was talking to Mom. Mom was trying to help her. Sheila said that she couldn’t, because of everything. What happened with Finn. And uh, anyway, Mom’s concerned about her.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Liam: Hey.

Ridge: Um, hey.

Liam: Anything? Any news?

Ridge: No, nothing.

Hope: I’m so sorry this is happening.

Thomas: Thanks. Can’t even, uh, comprehend, why– I– I’m gonna go try to spend some time with her. Hey, is she–

Bridget: Hey, Thomas. No change. Let’s give him a little time. Thomas?

Thomas: Yeah.

Bridget: Tell her to fight. Tell her how much she means to all of us.

---

[ Machines beeping ]

Thomas: Only so much Bridget can do. The hospital, these machines. You gotta pull through, okay? So let’s draw up some courage, some strength. You got to pull through.

[ Machines beeping ]

Wish I knew if you could hear me. Do you hear me, Steff? Hear everything we’re saying to you? You need to wake up. [ Sighing ] Now, what if you’re, uh, what if you’re playing with me, right? That seems like you. You wait until that moment where I get all emotional, and then you open your eyes and make fun of me for it. Could you do that? Please, Steff? Oh, what I wouldn’t give for that. [ Sniffling ]

---

Ridge: Excuse me. Do you know when Dr. Forrester’s’ coming back? I really need to see her.

Nurse: I’m sure she’ll be by soon. She has several patients.

Ridge: I’m sure she does, but I need to talk to her.

Nurse: Of course. This is beyond frustrating.

Hope: Well, I’m sure Bridget is doing the best that she can–

Ridge: Oh, I’m sure she is. She is– what are we supposed to do? Just sit here? I want Steffy to be okay.

Hope: I just can’t believe that it was just some random robbery.

Liam: We need her to wake up, so that we can ask her what happened.

---

Taylor: Don’t jump. Sheila, I know you’re hurting.

Sheila: Finn is gone.

Taylor: I’m so sorry.

Sheila: It was so hard, giving him up. I just wanted him to have a better life, than he could with me.

Taylor: Sheila, no.

Sheila: Oh, he’s gone, Taylor. And it’s all my fault.

Taylor: No, Sheila. It’s not your fault. How– how is it your fault? You didn’t do any of this. Please don’t blame yourself for this.

---

Ridge: No, Dad. I– I’ll call you, as soon as I find out something, all right? Just hang in there now. Here she is now, I’ll call you back.

Bridget: I heard you wanted to see me.

Ridge: Yeah, just, do you– have anything? Anything at all? Please.

Bridget: You know I’ll tell you as soon as we have any news. It’s just a waiting game at this point. But Steffy’s receiving excellent care. We are monitoring everything. I promise. Just pray she wakes up soon.

---

Thomas: I almost didn’t recognize you right now. Being so still. Come on, Steff, you’re a fighter. Let me see that fighter. Just– it’s just been us. You and I. Ever since Phoebe left. You– I can’t leave you like Phoebe did, because you’re all I got. So many people need you, okay? Our parents, me? Your kids. Kelly and Hayes. They need you, Steff. They need their mom. Do you know? Did you see it? Do you know? Do you know that Finn’s gone? God, I’m so sorry. So sorry, Steff. [ Sobbing ] We’re going to be there, all right? We’re going to find the person who did this and we’re going to make them pay.

---

Sheila: If– if I just would have stayed away, stayed out of Finn’s life.

Taylor: Sheila, that wouldn’t have prevented a robbery. I– I know you want to blame yourself. I know what it feels like– when Phoebe died–

Sheila: And I didn’t want this to happen, Taylor.

Taylor: I know, of course, you didn’t. I know.

Sheila: I was just getting to know him. Barely after all these years, of just watching and waiting. And now he’s gone. My son is gone.

Taylor: But you don’t have to be, Sheila. You can stay here.

Sheila: No, it’s better this way.

Taylor: Sheila, please step down off the ledge. Just talk to me.

Sheila: I don’t want to talk! I don’t want to feel. It’s just– it’s too much.

Taylor: I know, just– just keep talking to me.

Sheila: Oh, what do I have? What do I have left? My son is gone. He’s gone, what do I have? I have nothing. It’s– it’s just too late. All I wanted to do was to show him how much I’ve changed, and how I was becoming a better person, but for what? It didn’t do any good anyway. Now I– my son is dead. My son is dead. My son is dead. I want to be, too.

---

Ridge: Hey, any news?

Thomas: Uh, na, no. No, she’s, uh, she’s the same.

Hope: Is it all right if I– I, I’d like a moment with her?

Thomas: Yeah– yeah, um, prepare yourself, though. It– it’s not easy, seeing Steffy like that.

Liam: You’re right. It wasn’t easy. It– she’s your sister. She’s your daughter, she’s the mother of my child. I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know how we would live life without her, ah–

---

[ Machines beeping ]

Hope: Ste– Steffy? Steffy, it’s Hope. I still can’t believe that this is happening, and that you’re, uh, having to go through all this. So many people are saying prayers for you and there are so many people in your corner. And I hope you can feel that. There’s so many people that love you. I just– I don’t understand how someone could take a gun and– how somebody could be so cruel. How could they do that to you?

---

Taylor: Sheila, you just started making a new life for yourself. This is just the beginning for you.

Sheila: Without my son?

Taylor: It’s not going to be easy, but I think it’ll be worth it, if you stick around. Hayes needs his grandmother.

Sheila: Hayes.

Taylor: Your grandson. Our grandson. Finn is going to live on through that little boy. You don’t want to miss out on that, do you? And Steffy’s going to wake up. She’s going to pull through. I just know it. I know she is.

Sheila: I know what’s going to happen. I– I– I know how this has to end.

Taylor: Or it could end with you taking my hand. Coming back inside with me. Sheila, please.

Sheila: There’s nothing left for me here. Everything I had to live for, died with my son. You have Steffy. Your child lived. What do I have? I have– I have nothing. I have nothing but pain, and regret and guilt. No. I know how this has to end. There’s only one way.

---

[ Machines beeping ]

Hope: I realize that things have been a little strange for us lately. All that tension between our mothers, and– I just want you to know that when you wake up, I don’t want that anymore. I never wanted it. No, that just– it just seems so pointless now. We made a pledge that we would be united as a family for the children and, it’s the kids that have brought us together, that bond that we all share now. And I know that you would do the same for me. If anything were to even happen to me, you would be there for Beth. You would take care of her. And we’re going to be, we’re going to be here for you, to fill that void when you wake up. You know, it’s funny when I think about us and our relationship and what we mean to each other. I don’t think about the bad moments, the competitiveness, I mean, none of that. I just think about all the remarkable experiences we’ve shared together. And there’s so many more memories to make. A lifetime of them. I have always admired your strength and your courage, and your tenacity. So I’m going to need you to draw on that now, Steffy. I am going to need you to fight to stay here for your children, because we can’t lose you. We can’t.

---

Ridge: Thank you.

Thomas: Is, uh, Hope still with Steffy?

Liam: Thank you, yeah, she is.

Thomas: What about Mom? Is she back yet?

Ridge: No, probably still dealing with Sheila.

---

Taylor: Sheila, look at me. Please. Please. Take my hand.

Sheila: I want you to tell Hayes how much I love him. He’s gonna hear such horrible things about me.

Taylor: He’s not going to hear anything horrible about you, if you stay here. And you show him your love.

Sheila: No, no, Steffy is never going to allow that.

Taylor: You don’t know that, Sheila. You don’t know that. Where were you on Christmas Eve? Steffy opened up her home to you. And I’m so glad she did. I’ve been able to– to witness you becoming a different person. You’ve grown, Sheila.

Sheila: I haven’t.

Taylor: No, you have. It’s all about progress, not perfection here.

Sheila: No, I have nothing! Nothing left here. I have no future.

Taylor: You have a future with your grandson, if you take it. And I can help with that. I know that’s what Finn would want too.

Sheila: That’s all I ever wanted. All I wanted was– was a place in Finn and Hayes’ lives.

Taylor: I know. And you feel like it’s all been ripped away from you. And it is so unfair. But Sheila, I am so sorry. I’m so sorry this happened to Finn. And you, but Sheila, stay here, okay? S– stay. So that– so that we can– we can find who did this terrible thing. And together we can look that bastard in the eye, and make sure they are brought to justice.

Sheila: Justice. Justice.

Taylor: Sheila! No! Don’t drop me! [ Groaning ] Please! Pull me up! Don’t let go of me! [ Screaming ]

[ Elevator dinging ]

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey. Ah, thank you.

Ridge: So you did find some clothes in the office, all right?

Taylor: I did.

[ Both sighing ]

Ridge: Any update?

Taylor: They’re still in there with her.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: She made it through the night, though.

Ridge: Hm, so steffy. Sure you don’t want to go home? Get some rest? I’ll be here.

Taylor: I am not leaving her not a chance.

Ridge: Liam’s still here too

Taylor: Hm.

Ridge: Their relationship’s not what it used to be, obviously, but– he still loves her very much.

Hope: Not sure if you’re hungry, but I brought you this, just in case.

Liam: Oh, that– thank you.

Hope: I also brought you a change of clothes. Uh, I– I’m just trying to help somehow.

Liam: No, you are. You very much are. Um… so here’s where we are. Steffy, um, she’s in critical condition, but she’s hanging in. And I just– I don’t know, I just keep thinking about the kids. Kelly and hayes. They just lost finn. Like what– what they’re going to lose their mother too? No.

Thomas: There you are. You ran off before we could finish our conversation.

Sheila: I didn’t run off. You got called away by your family.

Thomas: Yeah, because my sister’s fighting for her life, and we’re trying to figure out why. You never answered my question. Did you have anything to do with what happened to steffy and finn?

Were you involved in the shooting?

Hope: The kids are doing okay. Everybody’s pitching in.

Liam: Mm hm. God, if you could see her, in there, just hooked up to those machines. No, it’s like– she just looks so vulnerable. And that’s eerie, because that’s not her. You know, with all that– all the life and energy drained out of her. It’s just– it feels, it’s wrong.

Hope: Can’t imagine what ridge and taylor are going through.

Taylor: Bridget. Anything?

Ridge: Hey. Any changes?

Bridget: There’s been no improvement, um, her condition remains critical. She’s still unresponsive.

Taylor: But she’s fighting?

Bridget: She is. I wish I had better news. We just have to give steffy time to heal, and then we’ll see.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Yeah, thank you.

Ridge: Brooke, I–

Brooke: How’s steffy?

Ridge: Oh, good doctor.

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Bridget: I promise I’ll come back and talk to you. I just need to update steffy’s doctors.

Brooke: Of course.

Ridge: We’ll be here.

Brooke: I’m so sorry, for everything. How could this happen?

Thomas: Are you the reason that my sister is fighting for her life? And why finn–

Sheila: You think I wanted this? That I wanted this? My son is dead, thomas.

Thomas: I’m not trying to be cruel. We are all devastated about finn. But I have to ask sheila, and you know why. What you did to brooke, that proves you aren’t a changed person. The police asked me if I knew anyone who hates my sister enough to shoot her. Are you that person, sheila? Good checkup?

Hope: Hey. You feel a little better?

Liam: Um, you know.

Hope: Yeah, um. Liam, steffy is a fighter. She’s going to get through this and she’s going to recover and she’s going to be there for her kids. And in the meantime, hayes and kelly, they have us. They have all of us.

Liam: Yeah. No. Yeah, you’re right.

Hope: Look, I’m going to do everything I can for them, for steffy, for the kids, for her entire family, because we are all connected. I mean, disagreements, ha– hard feelings aside, it– none of that matters now. What matters is that we’re there for each other because that’s the only way we’re gonna get through this, together. Hey. I got you.

Taylor: Hey, brooke. Thank you for coming by. I appreciate your concern.

Brooke: Yeah. You know, I was up all night. I thought about calling, but I figured you were going through so much. So.

Taylor: Yeah. Uh, is there anything I can do? Maybe with the kids? Did anybody talk to finn’s family yet?

Taylor: Yeah, well, li was here last night, um, she was beside herself.

Ridge: And sheila showed up. Made things worse.

Taylor: Yeah, she just wanted to see finn one last time.

Ridge: Li wouldn’t allow it.

Brooke: Oh. Well, as much as I despise sheila, she must be going through hell.

Taylor: Yes, she is. She just wanted to go back and– and stop the shooting from happening, like we all were. I’m– I’m gonna go check on thomas, give you guys some time to talk. I have my phone.

Ridge: Yeah.

Sheila: The idea of steffy in there, clinging to life scares me just as much as it scares you. And finn, the way he lost his life. It makes me sick. Look at me. I– do you really think that I could shoot my own son? What kind of an animal would that make me, thomas?

Taylor: Sheila. Thomas. What– what’s going on? What’s– what’s happening here?

Thomas: I asked if sheila was responsible for what happened to steffy and finn. Johnson & johnson is building a future

Hope: Do you think we should ask ridge or taylor if there are any updates?

Liam: I kinda think they would call me if anything happens because they know how worried I am.

Hope: Yeah. You know, I know steffy and I have had our differences throughout the years, and there have been times that I thought we might always be at odds, even lately. But… I don’t know, all throughout that time, I always respected her as a mother, admired her work at the company and… I was so thrilled for her when she met finn and– now her whole world is shattered.

Liam: We’re gonna help her pick up those pieces, though.

Hope: I mean, we will, but, my god, liam. What she’s waking up to, the man that she loves is dead. All– all of their plans, that amazing future that they had in front of them. And you always just think that you have more time.

Liam: It’s not going to be easy on her. But first things first. She’s got to wake up.

Brooke: I brought you a change of clothes, if you need them.

Ridge: Ah, thank you.

Brooke: I can only imagine how upset and angry you are right now.

Ridge: I’m upset. And I’m scared, too, because that’s my little girl in there and she’s fighting for her life. And everyone’s really nice, and they’re all working really hard, but I– I don’t know what I should be doing.

Brooke: Well, there’s not much for you to do right now. You just have to be here for steffy and for taylor.

Ridge: Yeah. I keep telling myself that the– the worst thing can’t happen because it’s already happened with pheobe. Well, it can’t happen again, right? It can’T. Not with steffy, I can’t– I can’t lose steffy.

Brooke: Ridge. I’m still your wife. If you need anything, I’m here for you. Okay? Just know that.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Thomas. Thomas. Thomas, I– I can’t believe you’re suggesting that–

Sheila: Neither can I. But sometimes people do crazy things when they’re desperate. Especially when they think that they may, uh, never see a loved one again. I– you’re all mourning finn. And you’re scared for steffy. Wondering if she’s going to wake up again and– let’s remember when she does, if she’ll remember what happened.

Taylor: Sheila, you don’t need to think about that–

Sheila: No, but you know what? I can’t stop. I keep picturing it. And– and I wonder how this could have happened. How life could be so cruel. What was finn doing in that alley? Why was he there? I finally got to meet my son. The reason that I– I came to la, to meet him. Tell him how proud I was of him. Spending christmas eve was– it was so incredible. I’ll never forget that. That brought me so much joy. We were so close. We were so close. And now he’s just been ripped away from me forever.

Taylor: Sheila, I am so sorry–

Sheila: No, no, no, no. You can’t help me, taylor. My son is gone. He’s gone. And I’m never going to get to see him again.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Thomas. You don’t have to like her. Nobody does. But we are all struggling right now, okay? I need you to think about that. Hold– I’m gonna check on her.

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

Liam: Has anybody said anything to the kids?

Hope: No. No, not until we find out more. The important thing is that no matter what happens, they will be surrounded by people who love them. And we will help them through this because that’s what steffy and finn would want.

Liam: Yeah. You know, it’s funny how one minute everything’s fine. And the next… and you know, you know something? You know what’s crazy is that this is exactly the kind of situation that finn would deal with all the time at work. And then there’s steffy, you know steffy–

Hope: Who has had her share of loss and tragedy as well. And now this.

Liam: And she was finally on the other side of all that. She was happy. She was actually happy. You know, she was in a good place in her life. And then what, some– some random monster just decides to take it all away. And we– we don’t even know for what? Like what? Cash? A couple of credit cards?

Hope: Well, they won’t get away with it. They won’T.

Liam: Yeah. I know. I just– I can’t even think that far ahead until steffy is out of the woods. I just– I hate this feeling. I hate this feeling of trying to remember the last conversation I had with her. Like, I’m– I’m sure, you know, I’m sure it was something to do with kelly, like arranging a pickup or scheduling or whatever. But, like, what did I say to her? Was it enough? Should I have said more? Should I have–

Hope: Hey, hey. Steffy knows that you care about her and kelly. She knows how much of a devoted father you are.

Liam: I know, I just– all last night, I was sitting here with these memories, just stuck with all these memories of things that we did and places we went together and and the truth is, even if steffy pulls through, nothing’s going to be the same ever again.

Ridge: Thank you. Taylor come back or no?

Brooke: Oh, no. What did the nurse say?

Ridge: Uh, bridget is consulting with some other doctors and they’ll let us know.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Ridge: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Brooke: Thomas. I’m so sorry about steffy, finn

Thomas: Thanks.

Ridge: Your mom went to look for you.

Thomas: Yeah, uh, she’s with sheila right now. She’s– sheila was all upset. She’s trying to help her. Sheila ran off. Uh, mom chased after her. It’s weird. I– sheila’s always the one that’s hurting people. But this time, she’s in pain.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Sheila: No!

Sheila: Finn! Why? I didn’t even know you were there. I didn’t want to hurt anybody. I just wanted to be loved. Why couldn’t steffy give me a chance? I just wanted to be with my son and my grandson. All the horrible things that I’ve done in my life. But this… taking my own son’s life.

Finn: All my life,

I’ve wondered about

meeting you.

Today’s the day.

Sheila: I can’t go on without you. I’m coming. I’m coming, finn.

Taylor: Sheila! Don’t do it. Don’t jump. Don’t!

Ridge: This is not how this is supposed to be. You’re supposed to be home with finn. Reading a book to kelly, maybe giving hayes a bath. Just an ordinary end to an ordinary day. Instead, we’re in here.

[ Machine beeping ] Why? How– someone pulled a gun on you? Who would do something so horrible?

Sheila: Li, we’re both hurting. Finn, was our son.

Li: I’m not telling you again, sheila. Stop calling him that. You were never a mother to him. You can never be a mother to him.

Sheila: Oh, would you please just talk to her, taylor?

Li: That’s not going to make a difference. I’m not changing my mind.

Sheila: I loved finn. Would you just have some compassion here? He– he’s gone. I want to see him one last time.

Li: No, absolutely not.

Thomas: Steffy’s condition is extremely serious.

Liam: Okay. Ridge. What about ridge– does that mean– is he–

Thomas: Yeah, he and my mom have been by steffy’s side pretty much the whole time. This can’t end up the way it did with phoebe. I can’t imagine what it would be like for my mom–

Liam: Hey, stop thomas. Thomas? It’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen. They’re not gonna lose another daughter because steffy is tough and she’s resilient, and she would never leave those kids without a mother. She loves them too much.

Thomas: And I love her. Why? Why did this happen?

Liam: I think maybe we should just focus on steffy right now, just being there for her.

Thomas: What if it’s not enough? What if she doesn’t make–

Liam: You– you can’T. You can’t do that. Thomas, you’ve got to stop that. She’s gonna pull through. She’s going to. And– and if we think anything else, it’s not helping anyone.

Sheila: You can’t do this. You can’t keep me from finn.

Li: Oh, I can. I will.

Taylor: Li, sheila, everybody is experiencing so much pain and loss right now. Both of you–

Sheila: You know what? I didn’t get to be a part of his life. I didn’t get to watch him grow up. Don’t I deserve at least one last moment, one final goodbye?

Li: You said your goodbyes when you gave him away. You chose not to be in finn’s life.

Sheila: Not entirely. Those weren’t the circumstances–

Li: I don’t wanna hear about the circumstances. I just want you to respect my wishes. Let me be to finn who I’ve always been. The mother who loved him, supported him, who’s always been there for him. You wouldn’t know anything about that?

Ridge: You got to keep fighting. Can’t give up. Why would I even say that? That’s a weird thing to say to you, you’ve never given up on anything in your life. You’re not going to start now. You’re gonna pull through this. And in just a little while, you’re gonna open your eyes and you gonna make me very, very happy. But for now, just rest, okay? Just get better. Know that I’m here. I’m right here.

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Beeping continues ]

Liam: How– how is she?

Ridge: She’s here, with us.

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Breath hitching ]

Taylor: …Very difficult time for all of us… ridge, they–

Li: What’s wrong? My son was shot and this woman keeps pressuring me.

Taylor: Please don’t do this to–

Li: Don’t tell me how to feel, taylor. I realize you’re a psychiatrist, but that does–

Ridge: Okay, I realize you’re in pain, li, I realize that. We’re all trying to help.

Li: You can’t help. There’s nothing you or any of the forresters can do. My only child is dead. He’s dead. He’s dead to all of you.

Thomas: Whoa, whoa, what– what’s going on?

Ridge: Baker, tell me something. Tell me you found the animal who did this.

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Sighing ]

Liam: Hey, steffy, it’s me. It’s your favorite pain in the ass. Uh, I don’t– you know, they didn’t tell me one way or another, so I don’t know if you can hear me, but– I’m just going to assume you can, because I want to. In fact, I’d like to assume you’re seconds away from opening your eyes and coming back to all of us. “Why are you here, liam? We’re not married anymore. We don’t live together.” I know. Doesn’t mean we’re not a part of each other. And always will be. Through kelly. Our perfect daughter, through our experiences, things we’ve shared, the joy, the laughter, bob hope marathons. And the struggles we’ve had, lots of struggles, plenty of struggles, more struggles than we– we can, but we beat them all, didn’t we? Every single one. Beat them all. And you know how I know that? Because we still care about each other. And support each other. And… love each other. I got to tell you, I’m ha– I’m having a hard time imagining my life without you. I– I just can’t seem to– so I think I’m just gonna stop trying and I’m gonna say, “no, I won’t accept that. I won’t accept a world without you with it.” So, um, you know. Come on back. Come on. Because we– we can’t lose you. With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Baker: I think we should probably have this conversation in private.

Ridge: Oh, I’m– I’m sorry. This is li finnegan. Finn’s mom. Deputy chief baker is a friend of the family.

Baker: I’m very sorry for your loss, ma’am.

Li: Thank you.

Baker: Although when I was saying we should speak in–

Sheila: I’m sure it has something to do with me. Deputy chief is probably wondering why I’m here. I happen to be finn’s birth mother.

Baker: You are?

Ridge: We’re trying to figure out what happened, here. Why finn? Why, steffy?

Baker: This whole thing seems to be a random act of robbery and violence. Finn’s wallet was missing from the scene. So was steffy’s purse. But what’s unclear is why they were in that alley behind the restaurant. There’s no parking there. There’s no reason why they should be in the alley that we’ve been able to determine.

Thomas: Uh, were there eyewitnesses? I mean, are there cameras in the area, what?

Baker: All the evidence leads towards a robbery. So I need to ask, can any of you think of anyone who might have had a vendetta against steffy or finn, or someone in their personal life?

Ridge: No, nothing like that

Baker: Can you, ma’am? Anyone?

Li: My son was beloved. Everyone who knew finn loved him.

Baker: This perpetrator will be found and brought to justice. You have my word on that.

Li: Thank you.

Liam: Okay, so, uh, I know you know I know this. But I’m going to say it anyway, because I think, um, I just think maybe you need to hear it right now. There’s no one like you in the world, steffy. You’re strong and you’re clever. You accomplish anything you set your mind to. You’re not intimidated by anything or anyone. It’s impossible to win an argument with you, and I should know because I don’t think I’ve won once– uhm…

[ Sniffling ] But there’s this other side to you. The mom. Loving and kind. Always going to be there for her kids, no matter what. Super mom, and steffy, I am so– I am so grateful that I got to have kelly with you. I’m so grateful that you and I get to watch her become the woman that she’s going to be, together. And we have that to look forward to, but, steffy, you’ve got to get better first. So you just– you just– you fight. You fight and you fight and you fight and you keep fighting until it just happens. And when it does, you’re going to make so many people so happy. But no one more than me. Hi, I’m karen.

Taylor: Li, is there– is there anything that I can getfor you? Coffee? Tea?

Li: No. No, thank you. I should get going. I just came by to check on steffy.

Taylor: We appreciate that so much. I know that finn was your world.

Li: Yes. My world. My dear son. A doctor. Just like me.

Ridgee: We know how proud you were of him.

Li: How proud I am of him. I’ll always be proud of finn. So decent. So kind. So concerned for others. No mother could ask for a more loving and caring son. No little boy could ask for a better, more loving father–

Taylor: We’re going to make sure that hayes knows what a wonderful father he had. If there’s anything that we can do every–

Ridge: Anything at all.

Li: You and taylor should focus on steffy. I will take care of everything for my son.

Sheila: Finn was our son.

Li: I’m not telling

you again, sheila.

Stop calling him that.

You were never a mother to him.

Sheila: I loved finn.

He’s gone.

I want to see my son.

Li: No, absolutely not.

Thomas: There you are.

Sheila: This is not the time, or the place.

Thomas: Yeah, it is. I want to talk to you.

Sheila: Is li still here?

Thomas: You should leave. She doesn’t want you anywhere near finn.

Sheila: No, you know what? I am not going to allow her to deny me access to say good bye to my son. I am not going to allow that.

Thomas: She’s grieving, sheila.

Sheila: Oh and, and I’m not?

Thomas: You think I’m on your side, sheila? What? Because I haven’t told the secret about brooke? Yet? I know you. I know what you’re capable of. And I think about that. I think about the fact that you could do something like that, something so awful. And I wonder, could you have something to do with this? Are you involved at all with what happened to my sister?

Liam: We’ve, uh, hit a lot of milestones, you and I, haven’t we? Weddings, holidays. Kelly.

Liam: You see the problem? The problem with you being in here is that we have so many more milestones to hit. So many more memories left to make. Beautiful, beautiful memories. And you– you need to be there. For all of them. [ Sniffling ] You will not be taken from us, steffy. If you hear anything I’m saying right now, hear that you will not be taken from us. I won’t let you. Kelly and hayes, they need– they need their mother. And I need my– I need you too. So… so, come back. Come back. I will always… love you. Always.

Woman on P.A.: Paging

dr. Ross. Please report

to emergency immediately.

Sheila: I want– I want– I want my–my boy back, taylor.

Taylor: I know. I know you do.

Sheila: This never… should have happened. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

Brooke: Steffy and finn? What do you mean they’ve been shot?

Liam: They wouldn’t be in that alley.

Hope: Dad.

Brooke: Are you sure? What are you saying?

Hope: They’re okay. Right, dad? Dad, are they okay?

Deacon: Honey, finn didn’t make it.

Hope: What?

Deacon: He–he– he didn’t survive. Finn’s dead.

Brooke: What do you mean he’s dead?

Deacon: Look, they tried everything they could to revive–

Liam: Wait. What–steffy. What about steffy?

Deacon: Steffy’s alive. She’s alive. But she’s in bad shape.

Deacon: Steffy’s in very serious condition.

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

Brooke: Does ridge know?

Deacon: I called him as soon as the ambulances left the scene.

Liam: What am I even doing here? I got to go to the hospital.

Hope: Go. Yes. Go. Just go.

Brooke: This is horrifying. I had a feeling something bad had happened.

Hope: Who would do something like this? I–I– I don’t believe it.

Brooke: I can only imagine what taylor and ridge are going through. My heart is breaking for them.

Taylor: I don’t want steffy to be alone. I’m gonna– I’m gonna check on her.

Ridge: Li. I’m so sorry.

Li: I am, too.

Ridge: Taylor just left to see steffy.

Thomas: Li.

Sheila: Li. I wanna see my son.

Li: He’s not your son, sheila. He’s mine. Finn is my son.

Taylor: Hi, sweetie. It’s mom. We’re all here with you right now, just waiting for you to wake up. You have to wake up, steffy. Hayes and kelly need you. I need you. We all need you. I’m steve.

Hope: Steffy has to be okay. She has to be, for the kids. I mean, hayes, he can’t lose both of his parents.

Brooke: Steffy is tough. She will come out of this.

Deacon: God, I hope so. She was out cold when they took her away. And finn, I mean– now his life’s over?

Hope: My heart goes out to sheila. I mean, when she finds out…

Brooke: She will be crushed.

Deacon: She already knows. I told her the terrible news about finn.

Sheila: Li. This is devastating for me, for you, for all of us. I understand your heartache, ’cause none of this should have happened. None of it.

Li: I’m praying steffy is okay. She’s the mother of my grandchild. I know she loved finn very much.

Ridge: We all loved finn. And we’re gonna do everything in our power to make sure his memory stays alive, okay?

Li: Thank you. Please, give steffy my best. Tell her I’m rooting for her.

Ridge: I will.

Thomas: Hey. You wanna grab a cup of coffee?

Ridge: Yeah.

Sheila: I wanna see my son. Just one more time.

Li: No. I’m looking after finn now.

Taylor: God. This can’t be happening. Oh, my precious girl. You know, your father and i were just– we were just talking about you. Probably while all this was going on. We were talking about how fearless you are, how strong you are, and how you’ve been like this your entire life. And, baby, I need you to keep fighting. I need you to fight like you’ve never fought before, because I need you to come back. Please. Please, steffy, if you can hear me, I need you to come back. I need you. I lost your sister, but I am not going to lose you, too. Please come back to me, steffy. Baby, I need you to wake up. Please. Please. (Cat 1) friskies world!

Brooke: You already spoke to sheila?

Deacon: Yeah. Obviously, it was a huge shock for her.

Hope: And finn is such a sweet guy. He’s a– a great father, a caring doctor. It’s just not fair.

Deacon: Life isn’t fair, honey. This sure as hell proves it. I–look, I know that sheila isn’t exactly anyone’s favorite, but, I mean, my god, she lost her son tonight at the hands of a lunatic.

Sheila: This never should have happened. It was a terrible accident.

Li: An accident? How can you say that?

Sheila: Okay, what I meant is finn didn’t deserve this.

Li: My son was murdered in cold blood. Shot and left to die in an alley while his wife lay bleeding next to him. Whoever did this is a vicious, evil monster, and I will make sure they pay for what they’ve done.

Sheila: Of course. Who could even live with themselves after– after taking our precious… boy? We both lost a son tonight.

Li: “We” didn’T. You can’t lose something that was never yours, sheila. Finn never accepted you.

Sheila: No, that’s not true. We were making progress.

Li: I adopted him, raised him, supported him. I am his mother.

Taylor: You’re my girl… forever. My strong, fearless warrior. And I feel so helpless.

[Crying] Do you remember the song I used to sing you when you’d get scared at night sometimes? And I’d lay next to you. And you’d fall asleep.

Twinkle, twinkle

little star

[Monitor beeping steadily]

How I wonder

what you are

up above the world so high

like a diamond in the sky

twinkle, twinkle

little star

how I wonder

what you are

[Sighs]

Ridge: That was always her favorite, you know. I was doing that today. I was thinking about she was young and innocent. Whole life ahead of her. How is she doing?

Taylor: She is fighting for her life.

[Sighs]

Ridge: You’ve just got to… you’ve got to rest, you know? And just keep resting. And then come back to us, and you know, we’ll just– we won’t waste another moment. Not one more moment. I don’t get any of this. These machines and… …what happened. Are you one of the millions of americans

Sheila: We’re both mothers, li. My son–our son is dead.

Li: Stop it. I’ve heard enough out of you, sheila. You stay away from me. Do you hear me? Stay the hell away from me.

Taylor: Li? Oh, I am so sorry.

Li: I still can’t believe it.

Taylor: Oh. My heart breaks for you, li. I lost a child tragically, too, and the pain isn’t describable.

Li: I know you understand. I just–I wish steffy wasn’t in danger.

Taylor: She’s hanging in there. We’re hoping for the best.

Li: That’s why I came by. I am, too, for the kids’ sake.

Taylor: Thank you.

Sheila: Taylor. How is…steffy doing? Is…she improving?

Taylor: I mean, she– she’s hanging in there. But my daughter needs all the prayers in the world.

Sheila: If she wakes up…

when she wakes up, she’s gonna be able to help solve this case, find the person that did this.

Taylor: Well, yeah, I mean, we are hoping that she regains consciousness, of course, but right now we just– we’re just focusing on her health. We just– we just want her to be okay.

Sheila: Yeah, of course. You’re her mother. So I’m sure you can understand why I really just wanna see finn just one more time.

Li: No. I told you. I’m taking care of my son now, the way I always have.

Deacon: I’ll tell you one thing. The cops aren’t gonna stop until they catch this killer. High profile case like this, that shooter’s going down.

Brooke: If they can find him.

Deacon: Oh, you better believe they will.

Brooke: Any word from liam?

Hope: No, not yet. He’s probably just getting to the hospital. I…I hope he’s okay. I mean, steffy is the mother of his child. He… he must be worried sick.

Liam: Thomas! Thomas, hey, hey. How is steffy?

Thomas: She’s– she’s still with us.

Liam: [Sighs] Oh, thank god. Um…like, what? Do they–do they think she’s gonna be okay, or…

Thomas: I don’t know. Liam, her condition’s critical.

Ridge: Your mom loves to sing, you know. Sang to you guys all the time– birthdays, christmas, every time she put you to bed. She told me once she creates this bubble of sound to keep you safe. I don’t sing. You know that.

[Monitor beeping steadily] Fifth grade, I think sixth– no, fifth grade. John surguy. Remember that name? Does it, uh, ring a bell at all? Little english kid you had a crash on. I think he…said he wanted to study with you after school. I remember you came home that day. You were so giddy and all dressed up. But he never showed up, did he? Your mom called me. I was at work, and all I wanted to do was go over there and… go to his house, grab that little kid and grab him by the ankles and just hang him off his balcony.

[Sighs] Pretty immature, I know. I’m–I’m that guy. All I’m trying to say is when you get hurt, I get hurt. Every cut finger, every bruised knee, every boy that lets you down, every friend that disappoints you, every time you’re embarrassed, every time you feel fear, every time you get knocked off your motorcycle, every time you end up in here… …leaves a scar on me. And… I’m so scarred up, I don’T… I don’t like the person I’ve become. I-I’ve become the guy that can’t protect his daughter. I can’t protect you. And I can’t protect your kids. I can’t do it. And finn… so it has to be you. It has to be your music.

[Inhales sharply] It has to be your bubble that keeps these kids safe. You gotta come back. You have to. The world wouldn’t be that cruel.

[ Radio chatter ]

Thomas: How is this happening? How was steffy shot?

Taylor: We’re all here, baby.

Ridge: She’s right. We’re here. I’m here. Your mom’s here. Your brother’s here. We’re gonna pull you through this. Stay with us.

Deacon: I’m so sorry, sheila. I know how much you loved him.

Sheila: Don’t say “loved.”

Deacon: I can’t believe that finn and steffy were shot. And now he’s gone. Huh.

[ Crickets ]

[ Fire crackling ]

[ Hope giggling ]

Hope: Mm.

Liam: You hear that, right? Silence.

Hope: I can’t remember the last time that we were alone. I say we take full advantage.

Liam: Oh my god, I love it when you read my mind

[ Both giggling ] Get this off. Whoa! Oh!

[ Throat clearing ]

Hope: Mom.

Liam: Hi!

Hope: I told you the kids were going to be with aunt donna tonight.

Brooke: Right, uh, say no more, sorry.

Liam: No, no, no, stop. Wait– wait, wait, please, please come in. It’s fine it’s fine. It’s fine.

Brooke: Oh, really? I really don’t want to interrupt your evening.

Hope: Uh, no, it’s– it’s all right, just. Stay, talk. You obviously have something on your mind.

Liam: And plus, who are we kidding? We love hearing the dirt, so.

Brooke: Are you sure?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Mom. What’s going on?

Brooke: I’m worried about ridge.

Hope: Has something happened?

Brooke: It’s this feeling I have. Uh, a feeling that’s not really based on anything, except the connection that I have with ridge. It’s hard to explain. It’s just that I feel like there’s something terribly wrong.

Ridge: Hey. I’m going to need you to do something for me. For all of us. All right, my fierce, determined daughter. I want you to take all the strength you have. And come back to us. It’s not gonna end like this. We’re family, we’re all here for you. It’s not going to end because some random person wants to take away our future.

Deacon: I– I don’t know what to say. Or how to help you. I mean, all you wanted was a place in finn’s life. And now, this. It’s so unbearable.

Sheila: You said that you– you found them in the alley behind il giardino?

Deacon: I went to take the trash out, and, uh… I just– I saw ’em lying on the ground.

Sheila: Did you see anything else? Who might have done this?

Deacon: Whoever did this, he’s long gone. I mean, what kind of lowlife shoots two innocent people in cold blood?

Steffy: No!

You shot your son.

We need to get help!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to.

Steffy: You’re sick.

You’re going to prison for

the rest of your life.

Sheila: Put it down now!

No!

Deacon: Sheila. I’m with you.

[ Kissing ]

Brooke: Ridge and I have always been able to pick up on what the other is going through. And right now, something feels off.

Hope: I mean that tracks. Ridge is trying to make sense of what happened. He’s apart from you right now.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, what– taylor’s presence obviously complicates things, but it’s gotta be a good thing that, that ridge is spending his time surrounded by people who love him, and not, you know, brooding alone in a hotel room. I speak from experience.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: Mom. Ridge… I think knows where he’s supposed to be, and I believe that he knows that deep down inside, and no amount of time spent in steffy’s guesthouse will change that. I do believe that he will eventually come back home to you.

Brooke: I’m gonna hold on to that.

[ Hope chuckling ] And in the meantime, maybe it will be good for ridge to spend some time with his children. Especially steffy. He loves her and adores her, and I don’t know why, but he feels like he wasn’t there enough as her father when she was younger and he didn’t give her enough attention. So, now he can take advantage of the time that he has with her. Yeah, he’s got a lot to make up for. Life is short.

Thomas: Can’t believe this. You. Lying here so still. These wires plugged into you, it’s– you’re always in motion, steff. You can’t stay like this. You need to come back, okay? Because there are a lot of people that need you. Kelly needs you, and hayes needs you. Douglas needs you. And I need you. You’re my best friend. You always pull me up, when I fall down. And you’re there to pull me down when my ego gets too big. Steffy. You’re so strong. Use that strength. Come back to us. Please. Please.

[ Door creaking ]

Doctor: We need to examine her.

Taylor: Of course.

Doctor: Any changes?

Ridge: No, uh, the same.

Doctor: Alright.

Ridge: We’ll be right outside.

Taylor: We’re not going anywhere.

Thomas: What the hell happened tonight?

Ridge: I don’t know. We’re all trying to– process that finn is gone.

Taylor: God, it doesn’t even make sense. He’S… he’s just gone, just like that. Who would do this? What kind of monster would– would shoot our daughter? Ill finn and– and leave them lying in an alley. Who would do this?

Sheila: I– I just, I don’t understand how this could happen. What was he even doing in the alley?

Deacon: I don’t know.

Sheila: It just doesn’t make any sense.

Deacon: Yeah, it probably never will.

Sheila: I was getting to know him. He was letting me know him. I just– I love him so much. He was– he was my life. He was my future, and now he’s ju– just gone. He’s gone. He’s just gone.

[ Sobbing ]

Deacon: Sheila I’m so sorry.

[ Sobbing ] I’m so sorry.

Sheila: Why, why finn? Why?

[ Sobbing ] To be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means…

Brooke: Ridge still hasn’t responded.

Liam: I mean he could just I– be out to dinner or in a meeting.

Brooke: Yeah, but it would be easy for him to just pick up the phone and tell me that.

Hope: This feeling that you’re having is really doing a number on you, huh?

Brooke: I can’t shake it, which means there’s something to it.

Liam: I, uh, take it that means this has happened before.

Brooke: I know it sounds crazy, but ridge and I know, on a visceral level, when something has shifted for the other, and the longer it takes him to answer the phone, the more and more worried I get. He’s my husband. I still love him. And if ridge is going through something, I want to be there for him.

Ridge: This doesn’t seem real.

Thomas: Those machines.

Taylor: Honey, those machines are keeping her alive. As long–

Ridge: What happened? What happened in that alley?

Thomas: Why were they there in the first place? I mean, steffy can’t–

Taylor: She’s not going to. She’s not going anywhere, thomas. Conscious or not, she knows she has to be here for her children. Okay? She’s not going anywhere. Stop. No.

Thomas: I wonder– I wonder if she, uh… she saw it? Finn.

Ridge: Oh, I hope not.

Taylor: Oh god, me too. Oh, god. Sheila. I can’t help but think about sheila right now, even. No matter what she’s done in the past, she’s– she’s a mother, she’s– I can’t imagine the devastation she’s going to feel when she finds out that– that finn is gone.

Sheila: You know, I– how could everything change so fast? Like there’s no time. Do you think– my son knew that I loved him?

Deacon: Yeah. I do.

Sheila: I want to go to him. I want to go to the hospital. I just– I– just–

Deacon: Hold on.

Sheila: I just want to see him one more time.

Deacon: Okay, just a heads up. You may run into steffy’s family. I had to call ridge and tell him that his daughter had been shot. I’m guessing that ridge and taylor and thomas made a beeline for her bedside so that they could– they could will her back.

Sheila: What– what are you saying?

Deacon: I called ridge. I– I told.

Sheila: What–will her back?

Deacon: Yeah, they’re praying that she pulls through.

Sheila: Pulls through? Steffy’s alive?

Deacon: Yeah, thank god. Yes. Here’s to real flavors…

Hope: Mom, you’ll hear when ridge texts or calls.

Brooke: I know, honey, I know it’s silly to keep checking, I just want to make sure everything is okay. It doesn’t have to be a big conversation. I just want to know I’m putting too much stock in this vague intuition.

Hope: Well, is there anything we can do?

Liam: Yeah, whatever you need, we’re here for you.

Brooke: That means so much to me, really thank you. I love you.

Hope: Aw, mom, we love you. It’s okay.

[ Loud knocking ] Oh!

Liam: Deacon.

Deacon: I– I just wanted to check in, make sure you’re okay.

Hope: Yeah, what why? What’s going on?

Deacon: You haven’t heard.

Liam: Uh, evidently not.

Brooke: Is it ridge? Is something wrong?

Deacon: You– you need to brace yourself for shock.

Hope: Okay, dad, you’re scaring me.

Brooke: Just say it.

Deacon: I was working at il giardino tonight. I was– taking the trash out in the alley. And that’s when I saw them on the ground.

Liam: Saw who?

Deacon: Finn and steffy. They were shot.

Thomas: Yeah, thanks. I’ll keep you posted.

Taylor: Is donna gonna watch the kids?

Thomas: Yeah. She’ll, she’ll watch douglas and beth and amelia is going to watch kelly and hayes.

Ridge: That little boy lost his dad tonight.

Taylor: Steffy’s going to need us like never before, especially now that finn is–

Ridge: Two of them had their whole future ahead of them.

Thomas: Crazy. I mean, how is it that finn is gone, and steffy is in there fighting for her life?

Taylor: Thomas, she’s going to pull through. She’s going to make it. Because we lost phoebe, we’re not gonna–

Ridge: Don’t–don’t do that. Don’t do that. She– she’s gonna be fine. She’s going to be here for her kids. She’s going to be okay. All right?

Taylor: Ah, ridge, I’m scared.

Ridge: Me too.

[ Elevator dinging ]

Thomas: Mom, dad.

Sheila: How’s steffy.

Thomas: She– she’s alive.

Ridge: Barely, but we’re grateful.

Taylor: Sheila. I’m so sorry. The loss and the pain you must be feeling right now. Oh.

Sheila: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

Deacon: Finn, steffy, can you hear me? Steffy, just hang on. Help is coming. Where the hell is that ambulance? Oh my god. Oh my– what happened?

Sheila: Oh, this can’t be real. This isn’t hap– I would not do this.

Steffy: You did this

for yourself.

You did this because brooke

put her foot down about hayes

being in your life.

Sheila: What difference

does it make, because

the outcome is the same.

Ridge left brooke

for your mother.

Steffy: And I’m supposed to

be thanking you, the psychopath

who set this all in motion?

You know who I should be

thanking? Brooke, who stood u–

Sheila: Whoa– now, all of a

sudden, you’re team brooke?

Steffy: I’m on anyone’s

team, but yours.

Anyone who’s willing to

join me to get you away

from finn and my son.

You’ll never see them again.

Never.

[ Echoing ]

You’ll never see them again.

Again. Never again.

Never again. Never.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Steffy: No!

Sheila: My boy. My precious boy. What have I done?

[ Gagging ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

Thomas: This is really ambitious.

Ridge: Well, for anyone but your sister. I think the proposal is innovative. Look at the revenue stream that’s going to create. There’s this whole company. And not just for a year, but for years to come. Maybe decades.

Taylor: Ah, you are all such a good team. Steffy loves running this company with you, ridge.

Ridge: Yeah. You know what? She doesn’t really need me to run this company. And now, with this guy in the design department, I don’t have to be here at all.

Taylor: Ridge, this is what you’ve always wanted. When the kids were little, you used to talk about wanting the kids to work with you. Carry on the family legacy.

Thomas: And we’re proud to do it.

Ridge: And I’m proud of what we accomplished with this company, with us, this family. Look, you’ve been through so much, and you’re so much better for it. And your sister, she’s married, she’s got kids. You guys are happy. That’s all we can hope for, right? Our kids to be happy and live long, happy lives.

Taylor: I think it’s wonderful, the way the three of you work together.

Ridge: Well, like you said, the three of us are a team.

Taylor: Yes.

Thomas: Yeah, well, we have a good captain.

Ridge: We do have a good captain. Steffy’s great. She’s also great at the problem solving. Right? Anything goes wrong, she goes out and she fixes.

Thomas: Yeah. Like that supply issue last week. I needed silk. I never thought I would actually see it. But then steffy, she gets it done. It was in the cutting room, the next morning.

Taylor: That’s because she’s a doer. Go, go, go. She’s been like that her whole life.

Ridge: Sounds like her mother.

Taylor: Your mother, too?

Ridge: My mother? Yes.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: She always got things done.

Taylor: Yep.

Ridge: Got other people’s things done too. Couldn’t stay out of people’s business.

[ Laughing ] I loved that woman. But steffy. She’s her own person. She’s got her own path that she’s on and she’s walking it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Her career, her life. It’s where she wants to be.

Taylor: Motorcycles and leather.

Thomas: Oh, god.

[ Laughing ] Zip lines?

Ridge: Oh, yeah. Oh, if she wants to get something done, she gets it done. She puts her mind to it. She’s unstoppable.

[ Ambulance siren ]

Deacon: Hey, over here! Come on! Found ’em like this, shot. Uh, I don’t think she–

Medic: Sir, step back.

Deacon: He doesn’t have a pulse. She’s not moving.

Medic: Dispatch. This is 501. We’re on scene, 113 just arrived.

Medic: Two victims, both gsws.

Deacon: Please help them.

Medic: Female gunshot victim, you know her? How old is she, what’s her name?

Deacon: 30s. Uh, steffy forrester. This– this is her husband, uh, john finnegan. He’s not moving. Come on, please. You got to do something. Is she going to be okay? Come on, man. Is she alive?

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

[ Overlapping crosstalk ]

[ Sirens booming ]

Deacon: What– what’s happening? Is she breathing?

Medic: Bp is 70/30, dropping, push another bolus–

Deacon: What– what does that mean? Uh, is she going to be okay? Is she alive?

Medic: Yes, she’s alive.

Deacon: Thank god.

Medic: Prepare for transport. Alert the trauma team.

Deacon: What about her husband? Are they going to be able to save him?

Medic: Secure. I’m on it.

Officer: What do we got?

Medic: Two gunshot victims, critical.

Officer: Who called this in?

Deacon: Uh, I– I did. Uh, I did.

Officer: What happened?

Deacon: Uh, that’s steffy forrester. That’s her husband, john finnegan. I– I couldn’t find a pulse.

Officer: You stay right there.

Deacon: Okay. Hang in there, steffy.

Taylor: I really love staying with steffy. And finn. I mean, I know I’m going to get my own place eventually, but. I just– I love seeing them together. Their relationship is just– it’s so strong. They’re so good for each other.

Ridge: It starts with finn. What a great guy, huh?

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: He’s a good dad.

Taylor: So true.

Ridge: The moment he walked in, I liked that kid. There’s just something cool about him. He’s been there for steffy. He’s a good husband, he’s a good father, all the great qualities. Ever wonder where that comes from? Because his birth mother is a psycho? Am I wrong?

Sheila: I didn’t want to hurt anybody. Finn wasn’t even supposed to be there. No. No! Finn. My son. My son.

[ Gurney clattering ]

Deacon: This is so wrong. He can’t be dead. He’s got a wife. He’s got kids. Why can’t they help him?

Officer: If you wanna help, I need you to ask my questions. Start from the beginning.

Deacon: I came out, I was taking the trash out and, uh– I just saw ’em on the ground.

Officer: Did you see anybody else?

Deacon: No.

Officer: Hear the gunshots?

Deacon: No.

[ Radio chatter ] Who the hell would do this?

Sheila: I killed them both. I killed my own son.

[ Brush tangling ] The world is full of make or break moments.

Bridget: Got the blood work? Okay– oh no, what do we have here?

Medic: Female, 30s, single small caliber gunshot to the upper chest, through and through.

Bridget: Steffy!

Nurse: You know her?

Bridget: I do. Go on.

Medic: Vitals unstable, respiratory rate, 41, hypotensive and tachycardic. Bilateral ivs with fluid bolus administered.

Bridget: How much?

Medic: 250 cc.

Bridget: Put her in room three. Get her stabilized immediately. Alert the or, just in case. Order ct a scan. And x-ray. Listen to me, steffy hang in there. We’re gonna take good care of you.

[ Radio chatter ]

Deacon: Uh, it’s deacon sharpe. S-h-a-r-p-E.

Officer: You said you know both victims?

Deacon: Yes. Steffy’s father is married to my daughter’s mother. Oh, my god. I got to tell him.

Officer: Santa clara will notify the family.

Deacon: No, that’s not enough time. They got to get over to the hospital. Steffy might not make it. Look, she’s already lost her husband. They got to know what’s going on.

Deacon: Okay. Make the call. Put it on speakerphone.

Deacon: Okay.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Seriously?

Thomas: Who is it?

Ridge: It’s deacon, what does he want from me?

Taylor: Oh, I think you should probably answer. He wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important, right?

Ridge: What do you want?

Deacon: Ridge don’t hang up. Something terrible has happened.

I’m– I’m at the restaurant.

There’s been a shooting. Uh–

Ridge: There’s been what?

Deacon: The police are trying to figure out what happened. Ridge.

It’s steffy and finn.

They’ve been shot.

You need to get to

university hospital right now.

Steffy’s not doing well. Finn. Finn didn’t make it.

Ridge, go now.

Steffy needs you.

Taylor: What is going on? Ridge? What?

Ridge: Uh, there’s– there’s been a shooting, steffy and finn have been shot.

Thomas: What?

Ridge: So, we gotta get to the hospital.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Covid-19 moves fast,

Sheila: I said, drop it.

Steffy: You’re crazy.

Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make

that call.

Steffy: No!

Sheila: Steffy wouldn’t listen. Now, they’re both dead.

[ Door knocking ]

Deacon: Sheila, it’s me. Open up. I need to talk to you.

[ Rapid knocking] Sheila, open up.

Sheila: Deacon. Couple of minutes earlier, you could have taken a shower with me.

[ Gulping ]

[ Sniffling ]

Deacon: Sheila, sit down.

Sheila: Is something wrong?

Deacon: It– it’s terrible. You need to sit down. It’s, uh– it’s, it’s steffy and finn. They– they’ve been shot.

Sheila: Shot?

Deacon: Yeah, at il giardino uh, in the alley. Think maybe it’s a– a robbery or something.

Sheila: Are– are they okay? Where are they? We gotta go.

Deacon: Sheila, sheila. Sorry. Don’T. Don’T.

Deacon: Sheila, he’s gone. He didn’t make it. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sobbing ]

Taylor: Hi, um, we need to see our daughter.

Ridge: Steffy forrester. She’s been shot.

Nurse: The doctor’s with–

Ridge: What doctor–

Bridget: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey, what do you– how is she?

Bridget: Steffy’s sustained a single gunshot wound to her chest. She lost a lot of blood, and she’s unconscious. We’re waiting for the results of the ct scan and the x-ray, and she is in grave condition. We’re checking for head trauma.

Ridge: Okay, okay.

Bridget: We’re giving her blood, we’re trying to raise her blood pressure, in case she needs surgery.

Ridge: You know about the opiods? She can’t–

Bridget: I do, I do.

Taylor: Okay, we need to see her.

Bridget: I understand. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling right now, but–

Taylor: We need to see her now, please.

Bridget: Follow me.

[ Machines beeping ] She’s very weak. You can only stay a few minutes. I’ll be right outside.

[ Taylor shuddering ]

Ridge: Hey, it’s dad. And your mom, and your brother.

Thomas: Yeah, we’re– we’re right here. We’re right here, sis. Look, it’s going to be okay. You are the strongest, most stubborn person I’ve ever met. And I love you so much.

Taylor: We all love you, baby.

Ridge: And you’re gonna pull through this.

Thomas: You have to.

Taylor: Baby, it’s mom. Oh, I’m right here. I’m right here, steffy. Your family is here with you, right now. We just… we just need you to keep breathing, baby. That’s all we need. Okay, that’s all you have to do right now.

[ Sniffling ] I know it’s scary. I know it is. I’ve been where you are. And I know everything feels so far away right now. But it’s not, steffy. You’re here with us right now. You’re right here. And, and we’re here with you. We’re all here together. And you’re going to pull through this. You’re going to pull through. You have to. Your babies need you, kelly and hayes need their mommy, okay? You just have to fight. And if feel like you start to slip away, I want you to– I want you to fight with everything you have inside of you. Just fight for the beautiful life that you’ve created. Come back to us, okay? Steffy!

[ Sobbing ]

Ridge: Hey. It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay.

Sheila: You are not calling the police.

Steffy: You shot your son. We need to get help!

Sheila: I didn’t mean to. I didn’t even know he was here.

Steffy: Oh, you’re sick. You’re sick. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Put it down now!

Taylor: Oh, I love this photo.

Ridge: Well, that is our daughter in her element, isn’t it?

Taylor: Yeah, you know, steffy has accomplished so much in her young life. She’s excelled at everything she’s tried. She’s such a force.

Ridge: Reminds me of you.

Taylor: Aww. I can’t take all the credit. You know, steffy has always been so strong, so fearless, so full of life.

Bill: Always like seeing you on dad duty, being with the kids, fixing their toys.

Liam: Yeah. Well, the toy fixing kind of comes with the territory– where does this go?

Bill: And you love it.

Liam: I– I love the being a dad part, although between you and me, I’m pretty sure these, uh, these toys are optimized for frustrating parents. You wanna give it a go, grandpa?

Bill: Oh, hell no. No, no.

Liam: Ah, you sure?

Bill: I just came by to keep you company while hope’s out with her friends.

Liam: Oh, well, perhaps you’re better suited to help douglas with his magnetism and electricity science project–

Bill: No, no! I don’t want to do that either. You see, I hire people to deal with these things, thereby eliminating the frustration you’re going through right now.

Liam: Ah, duh!

Bill: Although I do love anything to do with electricity. It’s power.

Liam: Oh! All right, that was– that was good.

Bill: Actually, I did love helping will with his homework. Something I never got to do with you. I didn’t even know you existed.

Liam: Yeah, but… that’s not on you. We both know my mother wanted it that way. Besides, I think you more than made it up to me, given everything you’ve done for me.

Bill: I appreciate that, son. And when I look at you, the father that you are, I mean, you’ve been a rock for douglas, and beth and kelly. Those warrior princesses absolutely adore you.

Liam: Yeah, well, a lot of that’s luck, you know? And kids couldn’t have asked for better moms than hope and steffy.

Bill: You are a very committed dad.

Liam: Yeah, well, trying.

Bill: No, well, you were doing more than trying. Those kids are your priority, as they should be.

Liam: Hey, I mean, family is everything. You, in fact– you drilled that into my head, as well as wyatt’s, as well as will’s as– how is will doing?

Bill: Oh, he’s– he’s great. I mean, he is really thriving at boarding school. I miss the hell out of him, even though katie and I, you know, video call him all the time.

Liam: Yeah, I’m sure. Well, he won’t be gone forever, you know?

Bill: No, and I still have you and wyatt to run roughshod over. You see, a father’s work is never done.

Liam: No, no. It’s never done. Neither is a grandfather’s, by the way. And you still owe beth a bedtime story.

Bill: Yeah, I know, I was really bummed when I got here and she was already sleeping. I had my latest fairy tale all picked out, beauty

and the business tycoon.

Liam: Hey, it’s a classic.

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: Which one are you?

Bill: I could play both parts.

Liam: Touché, touché. Well, maybe you test it out on kelly, next time you see her.

Bill: Hey, um, speaking of my other granddaughter, I continue to be impressed with– with you playing such a huge part in her life, even though you don’t live with her.

Liam: Thank steffy for that. I mean, she’s just been so supportive of my relationship with my daughter. I’m just– I’m really lucky to have both kelly and steffy in my life.

Taylor: Do you remember when the kids were young, and steffy wanted to learn to play baseball and she was hounding thomas to teach her?

Ridge: I do remember. I also remember that he wasn’t too keen on it because he thought his friends were gonna make fun of him.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: Yeah. What, uh– what big brother wants his tomboy little sister hanging around him all the time? Especially when she can pitch better than him and all of his friends?

Ridge: But you did stand up for her. Told your friends that if she didn’t get to try out, you wouldn’t play.

Thomas: Which is something I remind her of every time I need a favor from her. Not that she ever needed my help. Steffy can…

[ Sighing ] Stand up for herself against anyone or anything.

Sheila: I said drop it!

Steffy: You’re crazy. Finn needs an ambulance.

Sheila: Steffy, do not make that call.

[ Gunshot ] Hi, I’m karen.

Liam: On the house.

Bill: Thank you. So you ever wonder who kelly will be when she grows up?

Liam: I can’t tell what you’re asking. You mean if she’ll be more like steffy or me?

Bill: Well, I mean, you know, two of you are a real study in– in contrasts. You know, you have this gigantic, loving heart.

Liam: Yeah. Well, so does steffy.

Bill: Mm-hmm. Yes, she does, but, uh… but she can be tough as nails when she has to be.

Liam: Hey! Oh! Well, I can– I can be tough as nails– what, are you saying I can’t be tough as nails? I can be tough as nails.

Bill: No, no, I’m not saying that at all. Look, what I’m saying–

[ Liam laughing ] Is that, uh, kelly is lucky to have parents who bring both strength and sensitivity to her life. I mean, you guys– you guys care about each other and– and support each other, even though you’re not married to one another.

Liam: No, that’s true. I mean, steffy and I are really good at that, supporting each other and it’s– you know what, it’s because we just don’t ever want kelly to feel stuck in the middle.

Bill: Yeah, well, that’s very admirable, though I imagine it’s also easier said than done.

Liam: Uh, it is easier said than done. Uh… mostly just because it’s– it’s all the history– history between steffy and me, between hope and me, between hope and steffy. But, um, but at the end of the day, you know, all three of us, the– the bottom line is the kids and their well-being.

Bill: You’re a hell of a dad, liam.

Liam: Gah! Well, you know, beth and kelly really make it easy, douglas, too.

Bill: Yeah. Well, uh, see if you’re still singing that tune when they hit their teenage years.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: You know, beth and douglas, not too worried about, kelly– gonna be a handful.

Bill: Just like her mom.

Liam: And I love them both. I’m always gonna love steffy.

Ridge: Well, you’re absolutely right. Your sister never backs down.

Taylor: Yeah but then again, her namesake never did either.

Thomas: Yeah, well, there’s a lot of grandma in steff, that’s for sure.

Taylor: You know, our daughter wouldn’t be who she is without that fearlessness.

Ridge: Fearlessness, yes, fearlessness is great. Doesn’t stop life from smacking you around, if it chooses to. So I’m glad she has finn in her corner.

[ Sheila panting ]

Sheila: Steffy. Steffy, can you hear me?

[ Gloves tugging ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Gasping ]

You never know

what opportunities

Bill: I– I’m fully cognizant of how much all of this means to you, hope, and your family with her, being a dad to beth, kelly and douglas.

Liam: Okay, why do I– i feel like there’s a “but” coming?

Bill: No “but,” it’s just that, um, well, I– I’m also aware of– of how much your life with steffy meant to you and– and how special it was, uh, because of how special steffy is. And oh, I think that maybe she brought some things out in you that– that hope can’T.

Liam: Okay, I’m not exactly sure where you’re going with this, but if it’s going to end in some criticism of hope–

Bill: No, no, no, no, no criticism of– of hope. Uh, I’ve nothing against hope. I have a lot of respect for her. She– she’s a wonderful woman who clearly makes you happy.

Liam: Yeah, she does.

Bill: But she’s not steffy, and your marriage to hope is not what your marriage to steffy was.

Liam: Just say it. What’s– what is your point?

Bill: I have no idea. I– in fact, I don’t even think there’s really a, you know, point. It’s just– it’s an observation.

Liam: Yeah, well– I mean, it– it’s a pretty trivial observation that hope and steffy are, in fact, two different people.

Bill: Exactly. Ah, so I guess there was a point, after all, and you just made it, because you’re so smart. Even though you’re married to hope, you’ve just admitted that you will always love steffy.

Liam: Yeah, dad, of course I admit that. Steffy and I share so much. We share a child, we share history. I mean, she’s– she’s changed my life in incredible, profound ways. And just because, you know, just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean that I can even imagine my world without steffy in it.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Finn has brought so much joy to steffy’s life, right?

Taylor: Yes, I get to see it every single day. They are– they’re just there for each other. They support each other. They bring out the best in one another.

Ridge: Yeah, no, it’s true.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: And why are we dealing with sheila? Why– why does she have to be in the picture at all? She’s already caused so many problems for finn and steffy. I don’t want to cause any more.

[ Metal clinking ]

[ Sheila panting ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Whimpering and groaning ]

[ Wailing ]

Deacon: Doing it right now, paul. Chill out.

[ Sighing] Living the life, aren’t you, deacon?

[ Metal creaking ]

[ Bottles rattling ] Oh, my god, finn! And steffy! Every year we try

Thomas: You know, I don’t think we should spend any more time talking about sheila.

Ridge: You think I wanna talk about her? I wish I didn’t have to. I wish she was out of our lives forever.

Taylor: Well, I don’t know if that’s gonna happen because her son, and her grandson, live in los angeles. But, you know, I– I do hope that she has changed, and I hope that she’s not going to cause trouble for–

Ridge: Wait, you hope so? She’s already caused trouble. Why do you say these things? I know you’re a psychiatrist and you see the best in everybody, but this is, it’s–

Taylor: Okay, okay, and I know that that’s annoying. I get it. I understand. I want to see the best in people. So sue me. I want people to be happy. And– but– but I also know that there are people in this world that are so deeply wounded that even therapy can’t help them.

Thomas: Right, and you don’t see sheila carter as one of those?

Taylor: Well, I mean, sheila has never been my patient, and… maybe she should have been. What I do know is it feels like sheila just wants to be my friend.

Ridge: Oh, okay, no, that’s good. Maybe she does. She just needs a friend. What do you– what are you talking about? Do you hear yourself? How do you even say these things after what she’s done to your family? What she’s done to us? Wherever that woman goes, wherever sheila shows up, tragedy follows.

[ Gunshot ringing ]

Sheila: Oh, finn. My son. My– my sweet, beautiful son. What have I done? What have I done? [ Sobbing ]

Deacon: Oh, my god, no. No, no, no. Finn. And steffy! Oh!

[ Phone dialing ]

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, there’s been a– a shooting, uh, two victims, in the alley behind il giardino. Uh, a man and a woman. Finn– uh, john finnegan, and steffy forrester. I– I don’t know what happened. I can’t tell, they’re not moving. Just get here, damn it! What happened?

Sheila: I tried, steffy. I really did.

Steffy: Let go of me.

Sheila: No. You let go of the idea that you have any say in this. You think I’m not welcome? You think I’m not going to have a place in my son’s life? My grandson’s? You think again.

Taylor: Thomas… I wish he’d ease up a bit.

Ridge: Honestly, I like the fact that our kids don’t hide their feelings.

Taylor: You do?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Hey, you know, they’re– they’re going to be fine, no matter what happens. You shouldn’t let any of that influence you. Their happiness doesn’t hinge on us being a couple.

Ridge: I like to pretend that it does.

Taylor: Oh, they’re just trying to heal the past. That’s all. I just– I wish thomas would focus on his future and maybe his own love life and stop focusing on ours.

Ridge: You mean like steffy.

[ Taylor chuckles ] Because she’s got the house and… husband, beautiful kids, and a lot of work here, but still finds time to meddle in our lives.

Taylor: I’m so proud of her.

Ridge: You’re proud of her for meddling?

[ Taylor chuckles ]

Taylor: No, for who she’s become. I mean, she has accomplished so much… not just here at forrester, but in her– in her life, in her– in her family. I was worried about her for a long time, ridge. She was stuck in that cycle with liam. The same one she watched growing up with me and you for so long. Still watching–

Ridge: Here we go.

Taylor: Well, it’s true. It sticks. She watched it as a little girl and then she got into it. The same thing with liam. I’m not worried about her anymore. She found finn.

Ridge: I– I couldn’t have found a better husband for her. You know, he’s perfect. Almost perfect, if it weren’t for his mother.

Finn: Come on, steffy, text me back. Il giardino? What are you doing there?

Nurse: Hey, finn, finally discharged the broken ankle. He swears he’ll never ski again.

Finn: Is– is dr. Becker still on?

Nurse: Yeah, scheduled all night.

Finn: Okay, just give him my apologies, but I need him to cover me for a while.

Nurse: What?

Finn: It’s important, okay? I’ll come back as soon as I can.

Taylor: Finn can’t choose where he came from. You know, sheila– sheila gave birth to him, she isn’t his mom, like li is.

Ridge: I know. Doesn’t make it any less disturbing that she likes to hang out and spend time with finn. And spend time with our grandson.

Taylor: I understand that. But if, you know, she truly changed,

Ridge: What do you– what do you– what? “If she truly changed,” you really believe that?

Taylor: You know, I– yes– no. But I’d like to. For finn’s sake.

Ridge: Okay, now it all makes sense. That’s why you invited her over for christmas eve. Well, no, I did that for finn, I just…

[ Sighs ] You know. I’m cautious any time we have interaction, my guard is always up. I can promise you that.

Ridge: All right. Because this– this reformed sheila, it’s not a real thing. She’s incapable of being a good person, she’s incapable of being a normal person. She’s as dangerous now as she’s always been.

Steffy: I– I don’t want to fight with you, sheila.

Sheila: No. Me neither, I– I don’t want anyone to get hurt. You know what I want? I want my son’s wife to accept me. To love me. Allow me in, please.

Steffy: Never!

Sheila: Steffy.

Steffy: No, you’re never going to be accepted. Never loved. Not by me. And certainly not by finn. Not anymore. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Ridge: You said you have these communications with sheila. How often does that happen?

Taylor: Well, that’s the thing, ridge, she’s– she just– she just shows up at my office, unannounced, and– and she wants to talk.

Ridge: She shows up at your office and she wants to talk. About what? What are you– she must have an ulterior motive. She must have something like that, right?

Taylor: See, that’s the thing. I don’t know, ridge. I– I know that she seems really happy about us, about the possibility of you and I getting back together.

Ridge: Stop. Wait, wait, wait. She seemed happy?

Taylor: No, she–

Ridge: Sheila doesn’t seem happy about anything because she’s a mean, nasty woman. She’s selfish.

Taylor: What could it be? Could– could sheila benefit from us being together for any reason? No, right? So what is it? So I’m thinking, and I was– maybe it’s because she shot me, and maybe she feels guilty and…. it’s absolving her guilt from–

Ridge: Why don’t you listen to anything I say? Why?

Taylor: What are you– I’m listening.

Ridge: She’s not- she’s not– she doesn’t feel guilt for anything. She likes causing pain. You know this. She thrives on it.

Taylor: She does, and she did. But she wants to change. And, you know, I’m a psychiatrist. It’s what I do. So I want to see people change. I believe that people can, ridge.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: I mean, even sheila.

Ridge: You believe in a lot of things, don’t you? And you should. Maybe… unicorns and… gold at the end of the rainbow. I like it, but when you believe in sheila, you got to be very, very careful, you got to promise me that.

Taylor: I promise, ridge. But not around unicorns–

Ridge: Can we just be serious for a second?

Taylor: I am serious. Unicorns are harmless.

Ridge: It’s not a joke!

Taylor: I’m not trying to make a joke about it, ridge. I know that sheila is dangerous. I know better than anyone, okay? I know firsthand what she’s capable of. Not only that, but she’s finn’s birth mother. We share a grandson. I’m on high alert.

Finn: Il giardino? Why won’t you text me back?

Sheila: I’ve disappointed

you enough, son.

And I promise, you are never

going to hear anything

about me that would

let you down again.

Steffy: Brooke’s new year’s

eve, the booze, kissing deacon,

inviting deacon into

my father’s bed?

That was all set in

motion by your mother.

Finn: You’re evil, mom. You’re never going to change. Getting brooke drunk. You just better stay away from my wife.

Sheila: You know I can’t let you say anything–

Steffy: No, don’t you dare. Don’t you take one more step!

Sheila: You need to know what happened. What I did to brooke.

Steffy: Finn already knows.

Sheila: Then I’ll just explain it to him.

Steffy: You don’t have to explain it to him, you’re never going to see him again.

Sheila: We can keep this between us, just the few of us that know, we can put this behind us. Let your parents get back together again. If you feel like we need to say something later down the line, then fine. After taylor and ridge are married and brooke has moved on. We’ll just wait.

Steffy: No, I’m– I’m not letting my parents start a life together based on a lie.

Sheila: Would you stop being so high and mighty? Just think about what you’re going to be giving up. I did this for you… for your family. This is the best chance that you have.

Steffy: No, you’re a liar. You did this for yourself. You did this because brooke put her foot down about hayes being in your life.

Sheila: Well, that was just an added bonus. But what difference does it make? Because the outcome is the same. Ridge left brooke for your mother.

Steffy: And I’m supposed to be thanking you? You psychopath, you set this all in motion. You know who I should be thanking? Brooke. Who stood up to you!

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, now all of a sudden you’re team brooke?

Steffy: I’m on anyone’s team but yours. Anyone who’s willing to join me to get you away from finn and my son!

Sheila: The losing team. No one… is ever going to keep me away from finn and hayes. Not even you… steffy.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Taylor: You know, I’m sure it bothers steffy on some level. Finn.. being a part of sheila, sheila being a part of hayes’ life.

Ridge: I’m not– you know, I know she thought about walking away from it. And nobody would have blamed her. But she didn’t, because she sees finn for who he is. You said before, he’s not just his dna, he’s a good guy.

Taylor: He really is a good guy. And I’m just so happy. Steffy– steffy’s so fulfilled, you know? With everything. I’m just– I’m so happy for her.

Ridge: So am I.

Taylor: You know what, I– I actually– I think it’s just going to get better and better. I can see it, ridge, I– I do. She has this great career. She has a great business partner. She has a– a loving family, her children are wonderful and– and she and finn, oh, they’re such a great team together. They really are. A doctor and a fashion designer? What a great match.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: I’m just so happy. I mean, this is everything I’ve ever wanted for her, ridge. Everything.

Steffy: I feel bad for finn. He thought this was all a misunderstanding, that I was wrong about you. But once he hears what you’ve been saying… how you’ve been talking to me, he’s going to hate you as much as I do.

Sheila: Why? Why do you have to fight me? Why can’t you just accept me and care for me the way I want–

Steffy: I don’t want anything to do with you, sheila! Knowing that you’re thinking about me, my family, that is my worst nightmare. You– you’re– you’re sick. You’re unhinged. You shot my mother. Maybe she can forgive you, but I can’T. Now, you need to stay away from us. You should be behind bars.

Sheila: I served my time.

Steffy: It didn’t do you any good. You didn’t come out a better person. You just fell back into your old ways. You hurt people to get what you want. You hurt brooke to have access to finn and hayes. Access you’re never going to have.

Sheila: Because you say so?

Steffy: That’s right. Finn is my husband, hayes is my son, I’m in control.

Steffy: So know when to give up.

Sheila: Never.

Steffy: Everyone’s going to know what you did, sheila. Everyone’s going to know the truth.

Sheila: Oh, it’s not going to happen. Steffy, I can stop you.

Steffy: From going to my father? Not a chance.

Sheila: I will… if I have to. You know what it’s like, you’re a mother, you’d do the same. Finn means everything to me. I love him more than life itself. You’d do it. You do anything in your power to protect that relationship with your child.

Steffy: That’s what you don’t get, sheila. You don’t have a relationship. Not with finn. Not with hayes. You’re never gonna see them again.

[ Echoing ] You’ll never see

them again. Never.

You’ll never see them again.

Again.

Never again.

Never again.

Never again.

Never.

[ Gunshot ]

Sheila: No! No! When tough pain hits,

Ridge: You talked about steffy having a good business partner in me, but the truth is, she is ready to run this company on her own.

Taylor: Oh, come on, like– you and your dad will be roaming these halls ’til the day you die.

Ridge: Maybe even after. I mean, why not? My mom’s got the house covered. Maybe we should be haunting these– these little hallways here.

Taylor: Yeah, you’re good at ghosting. So…

Ridge: Oh, here we go again.

Taylor: What? My point is this. It’s time for steffy to take over. I know she can do it. It’s a nice feeling. She is one hell of a leader.

Taylor: Yeah, she’s– she’s one hell of a woman, isn’t she? She has the strongest spirit. She really does. She’s gone through so much and she– she always rises to the top. Never fails. I am– I am just so proud of her and for the life that she’s creating. Our girl, our girl, her future is so bright.

Ridge: I can’t wait to see what she does next.

Steffy: Finn! Finn! Oh, my god! Oh my god! There’s so much blood! Finn! Oh my god!

Sheila: God, what’ve I done?

Steffy: Finn, talk to me, please talk to me.

Sheila: I didn’t see him. I didn’t know he was here.

Steffy: God, finn, can you hear me, please? Please, finn! Finn! Finn, ple– please, breathe, baby, breathe. Breathe. Oh, god, please, please, breath.

[ Finn gasping ] Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, baby. Oh, my god. Finn! Finn! I’m gonna get you help, okay?

Finn: What– what happened?

Steffy: I’m gonna get you help.

[ Finn mumbles ]

Steffy: Oh, god, oh, god. You need to call for help, sheila! You need to call now!

Finn: Stay here with me. Just be– stay here with me.

Steffy: Hang in there, okay? Hang in there. We got you. We got you, okay? I got you.

Finn: I love you.

Steffy: Baby, I love you. You’re gonna get through this. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. So blessed to have… to have you… and make sure… make sure hayes…

[ Breathless mumbling ] Our life is… I love– I love you, steffy. I’ll always, always-

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: I’m gonna love you for–

Steffy: No, no, no! No, finn! No! No, no, no, no, no, finn! No, no, finn, no, no. I need you. I need you. Hayes needs you, he needs his daddy! No! No!

[ Steffy sobbing ]

Sheila: Finn, baby!

Steffy: Your only son.

Sheila: I didn’t know– I didn’t know he was here.

Steffy: You were going to kill me. You’re a monster! You’re going to prison for the rest of life.

Sheila: You put your phone down.

[ Key tapping ] Put the phone down! Don’t do it, steffy. Don’t you dare!

[ Steffy sobbing ] Because this is my secret.

Steffy: You haven’t changed, sheila.

Sheila: Brooke is the one that hasn’t changed. Boozing it up with deacon, cheating on your father the first opportunity she had.

Steffy: Because of you. This chance at a relationship with finn, with hayes, it’s over. It is never gonna happen now that I have proof that you’re still the same manipulative sociopath you have always been. Targeting brooke like that?

Sheila: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Steffy: Oh, stop denying it, sheila! Stop denying it. I know how sick you are, how far you’re willing to go. I know what you did to brooke.

Hope: Well, I, um, tried to stop by the house earlier, but you weren’t home.

Brooke: I went to the office to see ridge.

Hope: Oh. And, uh, how did that go? Any progress?

Brooke: He says that he misses me. He’s concerned.

Liam: Of course he’s concerned. That goes along with loving you.

Brooke: He may care about me, but doesn’t mean he’s gonna get past what happened. I betrayed his trust. Now I have to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

Thomas: That’s an odd way to put it.

Taylor: What?

Thomas: That there is nothing I wouldn’t do to get you and dad back together.

Taylor: Okay, when you say it like that, it does sound a little weird. Honey, I just– I know how much this means to you and steffy. I know how much you wanna see your father and me back together.

Thomas: And that’s what you want too, right?

Hope: Mom, whether ridge forgives you or not, you have to forgive yourself and move on.

Brooke: That’s what ridge said. He said I need to stop torturing myself and stop living in the past.

Liam: He’s right about that much. Self-flagellating isn’t gonna help anyone.

Brooke: You think I like being stuck like this? I don’T. Constantly wondering what happened to me, why I let ridge slip away.

Hope: [Scoffs] But you haven’T. Not yet.

Brooke: He doesn’t live here anymore, does he? He seems happier over at steffy’S. And who can blame him? I think he feels safer with taylor.

Hope: Well, that might be a temporary situation, because, mom, I mean, at the end of the day, you are still married to him. And unless that changes, you still have a chance.

Ridge: Ah, good. You’re still here.

Thomas: I will be till I finish this sketch.

Ridge: I was talking to the pretty one.

Taylor: Well, then you were talking to thomas.

[Laughs] I’m gonna head out so you guys can work.

Ridge: Wait, wait, wait. Without answering the question? I mean, I overheard you guys.

Thomas: Yeah, mom. Answer the question.

Taylor: Oh!

Ridge: I–I was only kidding.

Taylor: The question. Do I wanna get back together with this guy? What do you think?

Sheila: If I did anything to brooke–

Steffy: If?

Sheila: I’m not saying that I did, but–

Steffy: I overheard thomas talking to you on the phone. Talking about he couldn’t take it–the little secret he was keeping? How you switched the labels on brooke’s bottle. She thought she was drinking non-alcoholic champagne, but you made sure it was the real stuff. No wonder she turned to vodka. She was drunk because of you.

Sheila: Okay. Fine. It’s true. I did it. I’m the one that got brooke to drink, and it’s a damn good thing that I did. You should be on your knees, steffy, thanking me profusely. Because of me, I’m the one that got your father away from brooke. And yet here you stand, lashing out at me, judging me, telling me I will have no place in my son’s life? No! If anything, I just solidified my place in his life, in yours. Don’t tell me… this isn’t what you’ve always wanted. Because we know it’s exactly what you’ve wanted. You’re welcome.

[Sfx: Chicken clucking] Everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny. Cause only he brings delicious cadbury creme eggs. While others may keep trying…

[Sfx: Chicken clucking]

Brooke: I’m not giving up. I know ridge is extremely hurt. But I also know that he still wants to be with me.

Hope: There you go. So have faith in that.

Liam: Yeah. That is what’s gonna get you through, just knowing that you belong together.

Brooke: We do. I pleaded for him to come home.

Hope: And what did he say?

Brooke: Uh, nothing much really. But I could tell he was quite torn about it. For now, he’s staying put, living with steffy and taylor. Steffy is harassing ridge at home, and thomas is harassing ridge at the office. They’re doing everything they possibly can to keep ridge and me apart.

Taylor: Okay. Um, I think–I think everyone knows how I feel. As a matter of fact, I think I’ve been too honest about where I stand on wanting a happy life with your father. But I’ve–I’ve also told steffy and thomas that I think it’s really important that– that you just heal right now, and you don’t know any pressure from anyone. Do you feel pressure from me?

Ridge: I don’T.

Taylor: A little bit?

Ridge: Mm-mmm.

Taylor: No? From the kids?

Ridge: No. Not at all. A thousand times a day maybe.

Thomas: Okay. All right. Maybe we’re a little vocal.

Taylor: A little? A “lottle.”

Thomas: [Laughs]

Ridge: A lottle? Really? A lottle? Yes. With rapid fire.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: A lottle.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: Wow.

Taylor: So see, thomas, th–this is what it is. I– you have to ease up on all of this. You can’t put any more pressure on us, okay? Seriously, you can’T. ‘Cause we don’t know what’s gonna happen. Your dad could go back to brooke at any time.

Thomas: I know.

Taylor: Do you, though?

Thomas: Yes. Yes. If–if… you and dad decide to make a go of it, and I’m pretty sure that you will, then… he has to want to be with you as much as you wanna be with him and not because steffy and i just said that you guys should be together.

Ridge: Pretty insightful.

Taylor: It is.

Thomas: Well, it’s true.

Taylor: Yes, it’s very true. So, you’re promising us, right? No more parent trap. You won’t do or say anything that could interfere with your dad’s decision about his marriage to brooke.

Steffy: You think I should be thanking you?

Sheila: You wanna see your parents together, don’t you? That’s what’s happening, isn’t it? Is it because of something that–that you or thomas did? No. It’s because of me. Because I took the initiative while you all set around watching your father waste his life away on a drunken slut.

Steffy: You mean alcoholic in recovery who hadn’t been tempted to drink in years until you tricked her to do it.

Sheila: I allowed her the ability to have what she really wanted. I allowed her to stop suppressing her desire to drink, to cheat. And it’s a good thing that I did. Because of brooke’s little slipup, your father is living at your house with your mother. A woman that he has always admired. And it won’t be long before they’re back together again. That’s what I want, steffy. I want that for both of them. I want that for you and thomas, for the children. You deserve to have your family reunited.

Steffy: Why do you even care?

Sheila: Because you’re my family too. I know–I know that you don’T… like to hear that and that you have a hard time dealing with that, but you’ll be able to one day. You’ll be able to accept me the same way that your mother has. She probably hasn’t said anything, but… she’s so wonderful. By giving me… a chance, believing that I’ve changed.

Steffy: No, you haven’T. What you did to brooke proves it. You’re just as dangerous. You are just as manipulative. You will never have a place in our lives. I’m putting an end to this.

Sheila: To what?

Steffy: You. No more stopping by my mom’s office. No more secret meetings with thomas. You’re done, sheila. I never wanna see your face… not ever again. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo, taking release. I have literally tried everything. I was on the verge of getting gastric bypass surgery, and I saw the golo commercial, and it was the last thing I tried ’cause it worked. (Vo) can you spot the cinnamojis in your bowl? For a limited time, try new cinnamoji toast crunch, blasted with cinnamoji faces.

Brooke: Bridget, you didn’t have to call and check on me. I know it’s late in new york.

Bridget: Actually, I just wanted to let you know I’m back in L.A. I’m working out of university hospital for a while to help with restructuring and shortages.

Brooke: Oh, that’s wonderful. It’ll be good to see you.

Bridget: You too. You hanging in there, mom?

Brooke: Yes. Thank you, sweetheart.

Woman: [Speaking on P.A.]

Bridget: Sorry, mom. They’re paging me. I’m gonna have to go.

Brooke: Oh, okay. You go. And just please stop by soon.

Bridget: I will. I promise. Love you, mom.

Brooke: I love you too, sweetheart. Bye, bridget.

[Sighs] Well, your sister’s in town.

Hope: [Gasps] Yes! That means I have backup now. Look, mom, what thomas and steffy do doesn’t even matter. The only thing that matters is ridge’s love for you.

Brooke: What if that’s not enough?

Hope: It is.

Brooke: Even if there’s an outside force working against us?

Liam: Outside force. What are you, uh– what are you referring to?

Brooke: [ Sighs ] I–I don’t know. It’s just this feeling I’m getting, and I can’t shake it. I told eric and ridge about it too.

Hope: What, is it like a feeling like someone’s working against you?

Brooke: [Sighs] I don’t know. Something or someone. Just…this feeling that I’m getting. It’s like ridge and I are up against more than we realize.

Sheila: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Steffy: Oh, I do. And when my mother finds out what you’ve done, she’ll say the exact same thing. That kindness–

Sheila: No, you can’t say anything to taylor. You can’t tell anyone why brooke drank.

Steffy: You think I don’t wanna show everyone what a lying, manipulative person you are?

Sheila: Just think of your mom. She wants another chance with ridge after years of standing on the sidelines watching him pursue a pathetic destiny with brooke.

Steffy: Years you took away. You took her away. And now you think you can spike a few drinks and all is forgiven? You really are insane.

Sheila: You want to see them back together again, and thomas does too.

Steffy: How long has he been involved?

Sheila: What?

Steffy: Thomas. Did he help you?

Sheila: No. No, he just found out about it recently. And I told him the same thing I’m telling you right now. Your family can be whole again.

Sheila: You just need to keep quiet. So please, steffy, think of your mother’s happiness and your father’s too. Doesn’t he deserve to be free of brooke?

Steffy: He does, but not like this– not being manipulated into it.

Sheila: Does it really matter?

Steffy: If my parents wanna be back together, it’s because they wanna be back together, not because you did something wrong and sick.

Sheila: I exposed brooke, that’s all.

Steffy: You exposed yourself for the dangerous person that you are. Everyone’s gonna know the truth.

Sheila: No.

Steffy: Any interest of finn having a relationship with you, that you could actually–

Sheila: Just stop, steffy!

Steffy: You are never having a relationship with finn. Never.

Sheila: That is not your decision to make.

Steffy: He is my husband.

Sheila: He is my son. And I’m warning you, don’t do anything to come between finn and me. Not a damn thing! Do you hear me? You keep your mouth shut. Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple! Simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms.

Taylor: What is it, thomas? What’s–what’s wrong?

Ridge: Is there something you wanna tell us?

Thomas: Well, uh, that you–you still have feelings for mom, which I wasn’t sure about, but, obviously, you do, right?

Ridge: Yeah. What– yeah, of course I do.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: What are you–

Thomas: And I know that you’re still married to brooke. But when I see you two together, I see amazing potential. I see two people that could build an incredibly wonderful life together, and it just seems meant to be.

Hope: Not sure I’m following. Are you suggesting that thomas and steffy are somehow manipulating all of this?

Brooke: It’s just– it’s this overwhelming feeling that I keep getting, that I’m–I’m missing something, that there’s a– a bigger explanation to all of this.

Steffy: You’re warning me? Or do you mean threatening? Because if that’s how you speak to finn’s wife, the mother of his child, how do you expect to make inroads with him?

Sheila: Oh, but that’s just it. You tell me I can’t– I won’t be a part of his life, and yet it’s like you’re baiting me, trying to get me to do things.

Steffy: Show that you haven’t changed? Yeah, whatever works.

Sheila: Just have a little understanding, please. You’ve never given me a chance since I came back to town. You won’t even consider that I might have good intentions, even though your mother was open to that possibility, the one person, out of everyone, who had the right to doubt that I’m reformed.

Steffy: You’re not reformed, sheila. You purposely got an alcoholic to drink.

Sheila: What would you have done? Hmm? Go ahead, steffy. Why don’t you tell me? What would you have done… if you had brooke in your face telling you that she was never going to let you be a part of your son’s life? I couldn’T… let her get in the way, and I won’t let you either.

Steffy: So this is a threat.

Sheila: I didn’t want it to be this way. But finn’s my only hope. He’s the one child that… I could have a future with, a life with. A life that I could have had with you too. I really wanted that, steffy. An opportunity to love you.

Steffy: Who would ever want that from you? Being loved by you is a curse– a curse that finn will never have to know. I will make sure of it. I will make him realize that you’re still a criminal. You’re still as dangerous as ever. You will never be part of our lives. Do you hear me?

Sheila: No! If one of us isn’t meant to be in finn’s life, it’s gonna be you, steffy. You.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I don’t know how much longer I can do this. Sheila, keeping your secret doesn’t feel right and will you just write it out because it’s a means to an end. Thomas, what you did is despicable switching champagne labels to get Brooke drunk. She’s an alcoholic, but you knew that you did it anyway. You traded Brook’s Sobriety for a future with your.

Come on this. This is, this has a lot more to do when with just Finn, I did this for you, for your parents. I don’t wanna hear that, Sheila, that you did this for me and my mom and my sister. Like this is some selfless act. It’s not. You wanted a family with your son and what about Brooke? What about Brooke and my dad?

Don’t they deserve to know the truth? Brooke would not have kissed Deacon on New Year’s Eve if she wasn’t wasted. And the only reason for that is because you orchestrated the whole thing. I want you to think very carefully about this, Thomas. You say a word to anyone and you can kiss your family’s future.

Goodbye. What good is reuniting my family? If it’s built on a packet of lies,

you gotta stop. I can’t stop rich. This is consuming me. You’ve gotta stop beating yourself up. I need to know why I dranked that night. I can’t move forward with my life until.

Got a bad night. Yeah. You want yourself, I don’t even know who that person was. You don’t have to know. You’re never gonna meet her. . That’s why you have sponsors. That’s why you go to meetings. Leave the past in the past. Stop torturing yourself, please. I’m afraid to look into the future without you in it.

Logan Bridge. We’ve overcome so much. We’ve come so far. So why would I do this? Why would I hurt and try to destroy our marriage like that? I wouldn’t do that. Don’t you see? Come on. There’s something going on here. Something else. I don’t know what it is, but I have this feeling it’s something or someone working against us.

It’s already done. Thomas, we’re at the finish line. Just bite your tongue. It’s not already done. This is a lie by omission. Okay. And lies eat you from the inside out. Yeah. Well, there’s something else you need to know, Thomas, about our little meeting in the alley. Uh, I, um, actually can’t talk right now. I gotta go, okay.

You better doesn’t want everything for me. I not lose my relationship with my son,

Finn. How good I thought you might be down with a patient. This is a nice surprise. I’m expect to see my gorgeous. What something wrong? I don’t, no, I, I don’t, I don’t even know what to say. No. The kids, the kids are fine. I just, I don’t even know where we begin. What, what happened? It’s your mother, Sheila.

She’s back to her old manipulative ways.

Are you sure that you weren’t just trying to see dad again? . I’m kidding. I’m not actually, I’m not . Ugh. You and stuff. We just want you to be happy. I know that you wanna see us together and you want that too, right? Of course, of course. If, if the circumstances were right, but at the moment, they’re, they’re not.

Right.

You’ve made Dad so happy and you guys seem perfect together, and his relationship with Brooke, it’s never been the healthiest. I mean, it is. Toxic almost since day one. She’s heard him over and over again. I’m not just talking about the most recent incident, I’m talking about all the things that she did in the past.

Oh, I know. This has gone on for such a long time. And this most recent situation, you know, Brooke, kissing Deacon and Deacon sleeping over and her lying about the whole night. It was, it was Brooke defending Deacon that sent her dad over the edge. and a as it stands, you know, even though your dad says that he wants to come home, Brooke is your father’s wife.

You and I had disagreements about Deacon when he came back into our lives. I thought we reached a middle ground and we were doing it for hope. For my daughter, for her sake. But then of course I messed up and I did what I did and I, I didn’t realize how weak and pathetic I, you’re not any of those things.

You’re one of the strongest people I know. And as far as that night, I think that is something that both of us would like to disappear, but it won’t. No, it won’t. We just have to move forward and we can do that because we were happy. We were content with our lives rich. We had everything we ever wanted.

And then this feeling just kind of started creeping in this feeling of evil. I don’t even know how to describe. This force that started taking over, and I’m telling you, my gut kept saying, well, I was screaming at me actually to keep digging, keep on searching for the answers, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

You know, no matter how hard you try, you’re never gonna be able to clean up that mess. That is your life. Okay? In the spirit of brevity, what’s going on? I’ve been so patient, deacon, coming to la, staying in that hotel, I hoping for a real relationship with my son, a, a chance to connect with my son and my grandson being what they want me to be.

What’s getting. You know, I, I remember this woman, she looked a lot like you who said, I always get what I want. And what happened to that plucky, albeit evil genius, where did she go? you two make me laugh, but things aren’t going quite as planned, and I’m really starting to wonder if I’m even gonna have a future with Finn as long as he’s married to.

What are you talking about? My suspicions about Thomas, right? Yeah. You said he’s not acting like himself. Yeah, and then I found him talking to Sheila in the alley behind El Jino. Uh, Stephanie, I think he’s just being, he’s being protective. He’s trying to look out for you guy. No, that’s not what it’s about.

It’s not that he wasn’t telling Sheila to keep her distance from us. Okay. Then what were they doing? I mean, what? What are you getting at? I knew it. I knew something was going on that Sheila was stirring the pod, trying to become BFFs with my mom showing up at her work. I told her to stop doing that. It’s like she’s been plotting this the whole time.

Finn, I even want to know your mom attacked Brooke. What? Yeah, Brooks, new Year’s Eve, the booze, kissing deacon, inviting deacon into my father’s bed. That was all set in motion by your mother.

I must have done something right in this life to have raised such wonderful kids. You’ve always been there for us. And if there’s a chance that we could do something for you, I’m sure Stephanie would agree, I we would do anything for you. Thomas, you have grown into such a wonderful, caring, honest young man.

I love you and dad so much, and I, I just want to do what’s best for you. I hate to see you like, I thought you’d be better off without me, but I was wrong. I, I miss you all the time. I’m concerned about you. Oh, I can’t get rid of this feeling. You know, it’s kind of like a loop going round and around my head 24 hours a day, and I just can’t stop thinking about what I did to you and how I hurt you.

Can you do me a favor? Can you try not to lose sight of who you are in all this things you’ve done in your life? Things you’ve accomplished, but my life means nothing to me without you in it. You have to know that I’m not gonna give up on this rich, I want you to come home. I never should have said you free.

I never should have said that I was gonna give you a divorce. We will survive this some. Some way we will find our way back to each other.

Sheila Sabotage, Brooke, just slow down. Okay. What does my mom have to do with New Year’s Eve? Sheila changed the labels on the bottles. Brooke thought she was having non-alcoholic champagne, but she was actually drinking the real stuff, and I think that’s what caused her to start doing shots of vodka.

Brooke, who’s an alcoholic, like obviously I’m not the biggest fan of Brooke, but what your mother did is sick and evil, and that just proves that she hasn’t changed. Who told you? I like, how do you even know that this is true? I overheard Thomas talking to Sheila on the phone. I, I don’t know how he found out, but he’s been keeping this a secret and I, I think that he wanted to tell my dad in Brooke, but Sheila is trying to get him to stay silent.

Okay. This, this is sounding insane. I, why would Sheila do that? To br for what purpose? I, I, I’m not sure. All I know is that, She wants to be part of your life. She wants to be welcomed in her family, but that is not happening now. We have to stay away from her. This just proves that Sheila cannot be trusted.

Have you talked to your brother about this? No. No. I I was eavesdropping. He was still on the phone with was Sheila when I left. Okay. Look, I, I have a patient being rushed to the icu. Stephanie, look, you have every reason to be upset, and I’m hoping that this is just some big misunderstanding and that you’re wrong about Sheila.

I mean, I love you.

Stuffy. Are you available to. Well, it depends. Are you ready to show your mother-in-law a little respect? Because our last conversation was anything but but fuzzy and and inviting. I need to speak with you. It’s important. Where are you?

I’m at El Zinos. As a matter of fact, I’ll be right there.

Yeah. You and dad have been, uh, apart for all the wrong reasons. You’ve been separated for too long. We’re just, we’re finding each other again. It’s been, it’s been really nice though, you know, spending time with him and the grandkids making breakfast together. Yeah. Well, we are always gonna have that, though.

You’re always gonna have our family together. You, you have your kids, right. And our kids. , you want more right now. Your dad needs to heal. You know? So whatever, whatever happens is, is gonna happen. Um, now you have the opportunity to be a couple again, and if things keep going the way they are, well then you can end up together and have the life you’ve always wanted.

Yeah. And we will just see how everything works out, won’t we? Thank you for believing in us.

I can’t imagine that there’s anything in the world that you wouldn’t do to make sure your father and I end up together.

I will prove my loyalty to you, rich. I’m gonna show you that I’m not that woman that I turned into that night. I wanna be somebody that you could be proud of.

If you could see yourself the way that I see you, even for one second, you are and always will be the love of my life. There’s no way I’m ever gonna let anybody or anything come between us.

Yeah, I made a mess with us, but I also believe that I have the power to fix. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna hold onto.

Just keep quiet and you’re going to have the happily ever after the family that you have always dreamed of. Grandma loves you sweetheart.

I warn for not to come between me and my son, I will be in Finn’s life for many more years to come. What’s that? Oh, nothing. Can I get you another Uhuh?

Stuffy. I’m, I’m really happy that you reached out to me again. I, if you reconsidered I did you find a, a small place in that big heart of yours for me? You know, Sheila, the whole drive over here. I was thinking about what I wanted to say to you. The question of you being part of our lives. I know that’s something that you’ve wanted since returning to Los Angeles, more than you will ever know, and it will be really nice for my kids to be close to their grandmother for Finn to have a real connection to his roots.

You say that you are a different person now. Everything that I do now is for the greater good. I had a hard time believing that in the.

And I still do because now I see you are worse than ever. Oh my gosh. Are we really doing this again? No more games. I know what you did.

I’m done with this. I’m not done with you

alone. God, you’re not going anywhere. You both of me. What the hell do you think you’re doing? You claim to be this reformed woman. You said you put your devious ways behind you. I have. No you haven’t. You are the same twisted sociopath You have always been. Attacking Brooke on New Year’s Eve. She is an alcoholic.

You got her a drink without her knowledge. I know all about your dirty little secret. You don’t change, Sheila. You just find new ways to hurt people. There’s no hope for you. You’re never getting better. Everyone’s gonna know what you did, everyone, and you will never have a place in our lives. Not ever.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Sheila, you can’t lie your way out of what I saw with my very own eyes. You and thomas in the alley, behind il giardino. Now what possible reason is there for that? Answer me! What were you doing with my brother?

Ridge: Well, that came out of nowhere.

Thomas: Out of nowhere? What? I want you to be happy. What’s strange about that?

Ridge: Nothing, you said it’s your turn to look out for me. What does that mean?

Eric: This is a precarious situation for you and you’re scared. I get it. You have a right to be. But you and ridge have been through worse than this. You have. I can’t believe this is the end.

Brooke: I certainly hope you’re right, eric. Ridge and I have been through so much, and it just can’t end this way. It can’T.

Brooke: How am I in a place where I could lose my husband over deacon? And this is a man I don’t care about, except that we share a child together. And if it weren’t for hope, he wouldn’t be in my life. I mean, he hasn’t been for years.

Eric: I know. Look, brooke, we cannot change the things that have happened. We can’t, but what we can have an influence on– on the future of things that are going to happen. Look, you love ridge and he loves you. He always will. He always has. Now, as long as one person believes in a relationship, as long as one person fights for it, it won’t be over.

Thomas: You, uh, you deserve to be happy, right? And– and if there’s any way i can contribute to that, I will, I mean, I owe you that.

Ridge: You owe me that because I’m your dad? And I– I did that for free.

Thomas: No, I– I know. Um– look, it’s just– look brooke’s hurt you in the past, but you also still care about her very much. But I know that you also care about mom and I see you guys together and you have this amazing bond and a calming effect on each other.

Ridge: I know what you’re saying. Brooke, let me down and– and I’d be better off with your mother.

Sheila: I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. Thomas and me?

Steffy: Don’t even try, sheila, I saw you. What possible explanation do you have for holding some kind of secret meeting with my brother?

Sheila: You make it sound like it– it’s so dramatic.

Steffy: Stop dodging.

Sheila: Did you ask thomas?

Steffy: I’m asking you. I want answers now. For copd,

Eric: Don’t lose track of what’s between you. It’s stronger than what you’re facing right now. You got to stay the course.

Brooke: I broke it. I’ve got to fix it.

Eric: You broke it, you got to fix it, that’s right.

Brooke: Okay, okay, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep my marriage together. It’s just hard. He’s over there living at steffy’s, and I just feel like steffy and thomas and taylor– they’re just– whether it’s intentional or not, they’re doing whatever they can to pull him away from me.

Eric: Well, don’t get don’t get thrown off by that. Don’t let that bother you. All right? Just believe that you’re going to be back together.

Brooke: I just can’t believe this is happening. We were so happy, I mean, we’d wake up every morning, thrilled to be together, happy that all of our problems were behind us and they were, until I did what I did.

Eric: Yeah well, you weren’t yourself that night.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, then who was I? Who was that stupid woman that sacrificed everything and for what? I just feel like there’s something– something more.

Eric: More?

Brooke: I just feel like there’s this outside force that is doing whatever it possibly can to keep ridge and me apart.

Taylor: Okay, that’s enough. Enough with this whole parent trap thing. Okay?

Thomas: Who me?

Taylor: Yes, you. I– I heard your father when I walked in, he said, “I think you want me to be with your mother.”

Thomas: Yes. So sue me. I do. Yes, I’ve been honest about that. I want you guys together. Sure.

Taylor: But that is our decision to make, if and when we decide to make that decision, and we don’t need our children jumping in and trying to make that decision for us. Thank you.

Ridge: You know, we’ve been grown-ups a long time.

Taylor: Yeah, I mean, we’ve, we’ve been trying anyway.

Ridge: You’ve been trying.

Taylor: You’ve been trying. Just– just ease up, okay?

Ridge: Or maybe just let him do what he’s doing because there are worse things in life than spending time with you.

Taylor: Well, that’s really sweet. See, romance isn’t dead. There are worse things.

Ridge: Still got it. I, um– I have a video call to make, so I gotta try and figure that out. Keep an eye on him.

Thomas: All right. Uh, so obviously, I was right, I was dead on.

Taylor: About what?

Thomas: About you and dad, you’re perfect for each other. Come on, don’t try and deny it.

Taylor: You know, it’s really funny. There– you’re not the only one who thinks that ridge and I belong together.

Thomas: Well, yeah. Steffy has been by my side on this the whole time.

Taylor: Well, yes, your sister has definitely made it abundantly clear what her position is, but no, someone else. Someone, someone unexpected.

Thomas: Who?

Taylor: Sheila.

Sheila: Okay, ya caught me, so you saw me with thomas, so it doesn’t make any sense to say you didn’T.

Steffy: Lying, you mean? That’s good, at least we’re making progress. So why were you having a private conversation with my brother?

Sheila: Is that really so hard to understand? You and your family are extremely important to me, finn is my son, the father to your son. Hayes is– is my flesh and blood, it’s my bloodline.

Steffy: Don’t remind me.

Sheila: Well, you might not like it, but it doesn’t change the fact, hayes is my grandson. You– you might want to try to wish that away, I wish that you wouldn’T. I wish you’d accept me for the woman that I am today, or– or at least give me an opportunity to prove that to you the way that your mother has. There’s only one thing I want in this entire world, and that is to have a life with finn and hayes.

Steffy: And where exactly does thomas fit in?

Sheila: Thomas has influence over you, and I thought that if– if I could show him that– that I really am good, that he’d have a chance at convincing you.

Steffy: He can’T.

Sheila: Then I’ll find another way because I won’t give up on my family. And that’s exactly what you are, steffy. I get choked up even thinking about it, family. I finally belong to one. I love you all so very much.

Steffy: And that scares me more than anything. Hi, I’m karen.

Ridge: No, you’re right, that’s what we’ll do. All right, good work.

[ Computer dinging ]

Steffy: This feels right. We feel like a family again.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Oh, you remember what your mom used to say? It’s not a family moment–

All: Without a family hug.

Thomas: Right, right.

Brooke: I love you and I miss you. So just please, please come home.

[ Door clicking ]

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi. I had to see you.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re here.

Thomas: Okay, so you’ve been talking to sheila.

Taylor: Well, I’ve been– I’ve been listening, she talks.

Thomas: Okay, so… um, how did this happen?

Taylor: Well, you know, I–I told you that sheila’s been coming by the office, it’s just been happening more frequently.

Thomas: For how long?

Taylor: Since I got my new office? Look, I think she just– she wants an ally in her campaign, so that finn and hayes will be in her life, and– and she knows how much that I want to believe she’s changed and I think she’s trying to prove it to me.

Thomas: Yeah, mom, I don’t like the idea of you being alone with sheila.

Taylor: Oh honey, I got it. It’s okay. I mean, I– she’s a fascinating case study. She really is.

Thomas: A serial killer is a great case study, but you don’t put yourselves in a cage with them, like–

Taylor: Honey, this is my job. It’s– it’s pretty interesting to watch her wheels turning all the time. Good or evil? That’s– that’s the question. You know?

Thomas: Yeah, as it is with psychopaths, okay, um. You said that that she likes the idea of you being with dad?

Taylor: She thinks that ridge and I belong together, and she doesn’t think that brooke deserves ridge. But I– I think that it’s her animosity towards brooke that’s fueling all of this. I told her to keep that in check and not to lash out. I also told her that no matter where we are with brooke, whether we’re at odds or not, that we will stand behind brooke against sheila any day of the week. I think she understands that, I hope she does.

Sheila: Steffy, the last thing I want to do is scare you, you’re my daughter-in-law.

Steffy: Do not touch me.

Sheila: I love you. Your entire family.

Steffy: Oh my god, I don’t wanna hear it anymore, you’re never going to be welcome in my family.

Sheila: Look, I realize that I have a ways to prove myself, but I will. I’ll earn a place in finn and hayes’ lives. You know, I–I really look forward to the day that that you trust me enough that maybe I could even take my grandson to the park or the beach.

Steffy: Are you delusional? You’re never gonna be alone with my son.

Sheila: Well, you may feel that way right now, but I’m going to work on that and– you know, I’m going to work hard and put in the time so that you feel comfortable having me around.

Steffy: I’m never going to feel comfortable. So you might as well make your way back to genoa city.

Sheila: Do you see this? This is proof. Proof that I’ve changed. And the old me would have been insulted ten minutes ago and lashed out at you, but no, here I stand with an open heart willing to take whatever you dish out so that I can– I can be accepted in the family that I am a part of. Steffy, I’m an asset to you. You have no idea the friend that I’ve already been to you and your mother.

Steffy: You’re never going to be a friend, sheila. If you want to do something, you can stay away. From me, finn, thomas, my son. My mother. Just stay the hell away.

Sheila: If only you knew what I have done! Ooh, you would be a lot nicer to me, steffy. S and you being in that big house all alone. And everything tha

Ridge: You know, I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about us. And everything that’s happened and how bad this timing is. Everything that you’re going through and– and me being at steffy’s and you being in that big house all alone. I’m– I’m concerned about you, I want you to be okay.

Brooke: I want us to be okay and I wanted to try to fix the mistake that I made, and instead of doing that, I ended up making another mistake. The gift that keeps on giving, I guess,

Ridge: What do you– what do you– I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I, um, I told you that you could have a divorce, which is not what I want, ridge. I was just saying that because I thought maybe that was something that would make you happy, but you know what? I take it all back. I do. I take it all back. I don’t want that. I want you to come home, come on, you are my husband. And that’s where you belong. You don’t have to stay in the bedroom, you can stay in the guest wing, but I need you home with me to work this out. It’s– it’s important.

Ridge: It’s important– what do you mean?

Brooke: It’s important, ridge, because I– I take full responsibility. I do, for everything that I did, but I just feel there’s something else. I can’t explain it. I just I feel like there’s this outside force that– that’s trying to tear us apart and we can’t let that happen. This can’t be our fate.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Hey, you can’t call me whenever you feel like it. All right? I’m at work. You know, forrester creations, named forrester like ridge forrester, someone who cannot know about the secret we’re keeping.

Sheila: There’s something that you need to know.

Thomas: Um– I’m on a call. What’s up?

Man: Sorry, I thought carter was in here.

Thomas: No worries.

Man: Any idea where I might find him?

Thomas: He actually stepped off campus for a meeting. Anything else?

Man: Nope, I’m good.

Thomas: Okay. Yes. I’m back.

Sheila: I have a very unpleasant visit today.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I’ve had a rather unpleasant couple of days, at least, keeping your secret. It’s weighing on me, sheila. This doesn’t feel right.

Sheila: Thomas.

Thomas: No, sheila, you listen to me. I don’t think that keeping this secret is the right move.

Sheila: Oh, so you suffer a little, but, you remember why you’re doing this, to clear a way for a future between taylor and ridge. Your parents can be together again, and I know that that’s something that you and steffy have wanted for a very long time.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I’m not going to deny it. Obviously, I want my parents together, they’re perfect for each other. Every time that they’re in the room, they light each other’s lives.

Sheila: Yeah, well, they have a real chance. At a life together that brooke took away from them, all you have to do is stay quiet and just let things play out.

Thomas: You know, before i found out about what really happened, I thought, “there’s no way my parents don’t end up together.” But after what you did to brooke, it was evil, it was disgusting, diabolical. You made brooke think that she was drinking nonalcoholic champagne, you switched to bottle labels. She was drinking real booze, which led her to then drinking vodka, which led her to making out with deacon, and spending the night. Brooke has a disease. She’s an alcoholic, okay? She didn’t drink on her own. You sabotaged her. You poisoned her. And that kiss with deacon, that never would have happened, if she hadn’t been drinking. You were pulling all the strings.

Sheila: Am I supposed to feel sorry?

Thomas: Brooke has been in a living hell. She still has no idea what possessed her to drink that night. It was you, manipulating everyone and you expect me to keep this secret? You’re the one tearing apart my father’s marriage, so you can try and have a place in steffy and finn’s lives.

[ Soft stirring ]

Finn: Morning, beautiful.

Steffy: What time is it? How long have you been awake?

Finn: Long enough to get the kids dressed, fed and off with amelia.

Steffy: I slept through all of that?

Finn: Mm-hmm. We were quiet. Because you… my sexy wife deserved to sleep in after that very late night we had.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And you were just able to get out of bed?

Finn: Yeah.

[ Steffy chuckles ]

Finn: I knew if I did, I could spend the rest of the morning alone with you. But… if you need to check on your brother first…

Steffy: No.

Finn: He’s still on your mind.

Steffy: It just doesn’t make sense. Why would thomas sneak off with sheila in an alley?

Finn: You can ask him in the office when you see him later… much, much later.

[ Thomas sighs ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: What!

Sheila: You don’t have to be so rude.

Thomas: Yeah, look, you’re worried that I’m going to tell people that, uh, you sabotaged brooke on new year’s eve but you– you gotta lay off.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, what worries me is when you use words like sabotage.

Thomas: What else would you call it, sheila? You were the reason that brooke got drunk that night, right?

Sheila: No one can know that, thomas. Especially your father. If he could blame her behavior on me, it would send him straight back to brooke. We both know you don’t want that.

Ridge: Numbers are good. I just think we can do better–

Thomas: I have to go. I can’t deal with this right now.

Ridge: Everything okay?

Brooke: What a beautiful dream. If only it were true.

[ Knocking ]

Eric: Brooke?

Brooke: Oh, eric!

Eric: I, uh, I came as soon as I could.

Brooke: Oh, you didn’t have to rush.

Eric: No?

Brooke: No.

Eric: Sounded like you were upset.

Brooke: Yeah, I just needed some company, you know?

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: It’s good to have you here. I mean, I have hope here, and she’s been wonderful. She’s very understanding but I can’t keep laying this on her. I can’t keep making her feel guilty for all of my bad decisions–

Eric: Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, it’s all right. I’m here now. What’s this about?

Brooke: I let him go. Yeah, I did. I– I set him free, and I don’t know why I did that, eric. I don’t want that. I know I made a mistake so of course I tried to fix it, right? I– I practically begged for him to come back. Oh, god. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’T. I just can’t lose him. I can’T.

Ridge: You havin’ a problem with someone?

Thomas: No.

Carter: Is there something going on?

Ridge: Yeah. Somethin’ you wanna talk about?

Sheila: Don’t tell ridge.

Just don’t do it.

Steffy: As much as i want to spend the morning in bed with you…

Finn: You…?

Steffy: Can’T. Too worried about thomas. What the hell is he doing with sheila? I mean, maybe, maybe you’re right, he’s trying to protect our family, but I don’t know. I have a bad feeling. I need to know what’s going on. You know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

Brooke: This is why stephanie worked so hard to keep me away from ridge.

Eric: Yeah, well, she became your friend.

Brooke: Oh, eric, if she was still here, she would be really disappointed in me, just like ridge is. And I’m sure just like you are, too.

Eric: I’m not. Brooke, I’m not. Now, stop it. You’re making this very difficult for yourself. You’re taking all this, this pain and you’re making it worse with all this guilt!

Brooke: I know, I know, I– I have to stop replaying the past.

Eric: Brooke, I know that… I know that ridge is just– just as confused by all this as you are.

Brooke: You spoke with him?

Eric: He still loves you, brooke.

Brooke: I know that. It’s just. He’s not here.

Eric: You and my son share something very unique in all the world. It’s powerful, it’s strong. And it’s being tested right now. But it’s not broken. It never will be.

Ridge: You know, you can talk to me, right?

Thomas: If there was something that you could help with, I’d bring you in, but there’s really not.

Ridge: Right, well, I’m confident you will do what’s best.

Thomas: I just gotta figure out what… what that is.

Carter: That’s not a bad idea, right? Taking your time, working out the details.

Thomas: I’m just trying to see the big picture. You know, how all this may impact things in the long run.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you don’t want advice from your old man. But you know what? We don’t always do what’s right. But if you think that somebody can benefit from what you’re doing then it’s worth the risk.

Finn: Hey, when you talk to your brother, don’t forget what I said.

Steffy: Yeah, you and mom are already keeping an eye out on sheila. Thomas doesn’t need to do it, too.

Finn: He’s your big brother. All right? Being protective, it’s just in his blood.

Steffy: But why keep secrets?

Finn: Maybe he’s trying to keep the peace. Sheila’s my birth mother. A hard line with her, it might upset me. He just he doesn’t want you to get caught in the middle.

Steffy: I wish I knew what they were talking about in the alley. But I couldn’t hear them. All I could see was this intense body language.

Finn: Oh, what’s my body language telling you?

Steffy: Oh. Your feelings about me have not been a mystery, dr. Finnegan.

Finn: Haven’t been since I walked into your hospital room.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And now look at us, happily married, proud parents.

Finn: We have a great life together. And we have so much to look forward to. I told you when I proposed, “I’m here for the long haul.”

Steffy: Because I’m the perfect woman for you.

Finn: You remember.

Steffy: How could I ever forget?

Finn: Steffy forrester,

will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes!

Yes, I’ll be your wife!

Yes!

And I think most every

moment with you’s a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

Finn: And I’m even happier today with you, hayes, and our family. Steffy, I am so blessed to be with a woman like you. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Steffy: You’re doing a very good job distracting me.

Finn: Well, I hope to always keep a smile on your face.

Steffy: Well, my smile keeps getting bigger and bigger. You say you’re blessed to be with me but I’m the one who feels lucky. I think about everything we’ve experienced together. Everything that lies ahead. It can only get better.

Finn: Yeah, you just wait.

Steffy: But it is tough to top our proposal and the wedding and the day hayes was born.

Finn: That moment changed me. The first time I held the two of you in my arms, I knew that there was nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. You, hayes and kelly are just so precious to me beyond anything I’ve ever known. And I would sacrifice anything to make you happy and keep you safe.

Steffy: We are safe, and we’re so connected to you. We’re so grateful for you and… and our family. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna say to thomas when I ask him about his meeting with sheila. I’m gonna tell him there’s no reason to hide the truth from me.

Eric: You’re overwhelmed, I know. But I worry. I mean, are you… do you have any urges to drink again?

Brooke: No, no.

Eric: That’s good.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is. But that’s what makes that night even more confusing. I mean, look at me. I can barely hold myself together, right? But I don’t want a drink.

Eric: You want to prove yourself, don’t you? You want to show ridge how committed you are.

Brooke: Yeah. Of course I do. But– but I– I don’t have the urge. I don’t have that temptation. Not like I did that night, so it doesn’t make any sense.

Eric: You’re going to meetings, right? You’re getting a lot of support there.

Brooke: Right, I am. And I can understand how people could relapse. I get that. That’s why I know I need to be strong and I need to be vigilant and I need to work at it. But it’s really not a struggle. Not like it was that night when I had that intense urge to drink and why?

Thomas: So you don’t need to go to that meeting with carter?

Ridge: No, he’ll fill me in later. You okay?

Thomas: Yeah. But it’s nice to know you’re looking out for me.

Ridge: You can count on your mom and on me.

Thomas: Well, you can count on me, too.

Ridge: We’re proud of you. And if we seem concerned it’s because we want you to be happy.

Thomas: That’s what I want for, for both of you.

Ridge: Yeah. You and steffy made that very clear, you’re very supportive.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You– you, mom, steffy, everyone helped out when– when I was going through tough times. You didn’t have to do that but you decided to help. And… I want to make sure that I’m there for you in the same way. I want to make sure that you end up happy.

[ Knocking ]

[ Persistent knocking ]

Sheila: Steffy? Wow, what a pleasant surprise.

Steffy: I know, sheila. I know what you’re up to. Ready to shine from the inside out?

Brooke: I’m not shifting blame, I’m not. I did it. I take full responsibility, it’s my fault. I mean, I explained all that to ridge. I just– I don’t think he wants to hear it anymore.

Eric: No, no, no, no, he’s not, he’s not shutting you out, brooke. The connection, the connection’s still there.

Brooke: I need him to come back to me. And if he doesn’T…

Eric: Just don’t think like that. Look, I know. It– it feels like a lost cause but it’s not. I mean, he’s– he’S… look, he’s staying there with steffy, I know. And you know how committed he is to that family and– and how much taylor means to him. But you’re his soul mate.

Brooke: I just don’t know how to get through to him.

Eric: He still loves you. He’ll come back.

Brooke: Are you sure? Even after everything that I put him through?

Eric: You’ve lost each other before. You’ll find your way back together again.

Brooke: He is the love of my life. He is.

Eric: Come here.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: Come here.

Ridge: You want to make sure I end up happy? What does that mean?

Thomas: You were there for me. You helped me through some tough times. I’ll make sure I’m there for you and mom and that you end up together. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I’m saying you can count on me.

Sheila: How did you find me?

Steffy: It’s not fun, is it? Having someone show up at your door uninvited?

Sheila: It– it’s just a surprise.

Steffy: Yes, it is. So why don’t you clear things up for me?

Sheila: I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Steffy: Well, you told my mother that you changed. You’re not some conniving monster that you used to be.

Sheila: Because I’m not.

Steffy: Then prove it. Tell me that you’re still trying to make inroads with finn. That you’re still trying to win my mother over, infiltrate my family, that’s been your plan all along, right? My mother convinced me to have you over. Is that what you’re trying to do? Do you want one more time at my house?

Sheila: Your mother is a very kind, generous woman.

Steffy: I’m not as forgiving.

Sheila: Look, steffy, we– we– we both want the same things. I– I love finn. I want to see him happy. And I adore my grandson, hayes. I want what’s best for all of you.

Steffy: And what’s that? To get to know you better?

Sheila: For your father and mother to be reunited. Brooke has kept them apart for far too long. Your mother has been watching the love of her life being betrayed and taken advantage of. Taylor has a– a real chance with him now. I want that for her. I’m not the enemy here, steffy. You have no idea what I would do to bring your family together. I know you don’t want to hear it, but it is– it’s true. I already feel like I’m part of that. Finn is my son and hayes is my flesh and blood.

Steffy: You are not part of our lives. You never will be. You’re not our family. You’re not my mother’s friend. So you don’t get to have an opinion about her or my father. What you can do is leave. Stay away from my family. And that means everyone in my family, including thomas. That’s right. I saw the two of you in the alley behind il giardino. I was there. So you need to tell me right now what you two were doing. I want to know what’s going on between you and my brother.

Hope: All right. It’s warming in the oven.

Brooke: Oh, honey… that was so nice of you to bring dinner.

Hope: Of course. It’s the least I could do, considering.

Brooke: Yeah. I just wish things were different with ridge.

Hope: Well, the two of you are in communication. So, that’s good. And you told him you regret what happened. He did say that he will always love you, so… that’s something.

Brooke: It’s going to have to be enough, for now…

Hope: Well, I hate to do this, but I really should get going.

Brooke: Oh. So soon?

Hope: Yeah. You know, liam and I, we made a promise to the kids. So–

Brooke: Okay, okay. I understand. It’s just… you know me. I don’t like to be alone. Empty house. Full mind.

Hope: Mom, you know how loved you are, right?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: Good. Because if you ever need to, you can just take a look back on your entire life and think about all the wonderful loves you have had. There’s got to be comfort in that. Besides, that is the nice thing about memories. They’re always there when you need them.

Brooke: Yes.

Hope: Come here.

Brooke: Honey. Thank you.

Hope: I love you.

Brooke: I love you.

Hope: Have a good night.

Brooke: Night.

Ridge: Logan.

Hope: You’re know how loved you are, right?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Oh. Eric? Oh. I thought I was alone.

Eric: You’ll never be alone, brooke. Hope you don’t mind. I stopped by to check in on you.

Brooke: No, I don’t mind.

Eric: I’ve never stopped caring about you. Is it really 35 years?

Brooke: 35 years.

Eric: Yeah. When I think back… we had a wonderful time together.

Brooke: Yes. We did. And we raised two incredible children. Smart, successful, caring. We made a beautiful family.

Eric: We made a beautiful couple.

Eric: I’m so happy that we had all that time together. I’ll always cherish it, despite that fact I know where your true destiny lies.

[ Brooke giggling ] To know you, brooke, is to know beauty and to know class. But most of all… it’s to know love.

Brooke: Oh, eric.

Thorne: I know that smile.

Brooke: Thorne?

Thorne: I wish I could say that I could make you smile like that, but that one’s only reserved for my brother.

[ Both giggling ] Those things are amazing. Shows you pictures of things, you haven’t seen in ages. I’ve been down that rabbit hole. You know, sometimes when it feels like what’s the point of… well, anything. Our memories are what save us. At least hat’s true for me. Especially… when I think about our relationship.

Brooke: Are you sure you know where we are?

Thorne: Of course, I do. Have I ever gotten us lost before?

Brooke: Well let’s see-

Thorne: Yeah.

Brooke: There was the time when–

Thorne: Yeah. Why don’t you just look up ahead.

Brooke: Ah.

Thorne: I love you, brooke. And I want to feel exactly the way that I feel right now, for the rest of my life. And I want this adventure that we are on just to– I want it to go on forever.

[Clock dinging]

Thorne: How lucky am I? How lucky is any man to been loved by you, brooke. You know, mother may have had some choice words for you over the years, but in the end, she realized what we all did. You’re just a girl from the valley, who follows her heart. But let’s be honest. We know where your heart leads you.

[ Brooke giggling ] Everyone has a style…

[Wind rustling]

[ Brooke gasping ]

[Bell ringing]

[ Brooke gasping ]

Brooke: Nick?

Nick: Hello, brooke. Permission to come aboard?

Brooke: Of course. You don’t need permission. Get in here. Wow. Look at you. You look amazing.

Nick: Oh, thanks. I wore this at our wedding.

Brooke: Of course. Our wedding. You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about you.

Nick: Really?

Brooke: Yes. All the wonderful things I read about you in the press.

Nick: Oh, thank you. I’ve been thinking a lot about you, too… so much, since we were together. You’re looking good.

Brooke: Stop!

Nick: Are you um–

Brooke: Oh, alone? Yes.

Nick: You never were very good at being alone, brooke.

Brooke: You remember. But I am getter better, I am.

Nick: I hope you know that so many people love you. And, from my perspective, you’ll never be alone.

[ Nick giggling ] The times we shared.

🎶🎵 Open up your eyes / tell me what you see / is there a place for me / inside of you / can we both forgive / try to just forget / forget the past / and let the day begin / I’m going back again / I’ll take it to the end / remember where we’ve been / and where we have to go / take a look around / look at what we’ve found / I know that we can be / what we want to be / I’m going back again 🎶🎵

Nick: I been thinking a lot about this great journey we call life. The stormy seas, the times when we feel so lost. Like we’re out on the open water without a compass or a star up above. But time with you… it always felt like clear skies. The love and joy that you radiate. It’s like a beacon for the soul. You guide us all home. I’m here for you, always. I don’t know what’s going on with me

Bill: My cherie.

[ Brooke gasping ]

Bill: What are you doing here all alone? Well, you’re not alone, I’m here. I’ll always be here for you, brooke. But we can’t have you sitting around here all forlorn. That’s not who you are. I think I have the cure. I could have the stella maris fueled and crewed by the time we get to monaco.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: I’m sure you could make that happen. But you know we can’t, bill.

Bill: Yeah, I know. But you gotta admit, we did have some pretty epic times together. I’m not spending the rest of my life without you. I love you brooke.

Bill: My cherie.

[ Camel grunting ] One of the things I loved most about you was that you loved me for me. You didn’t try to change me. You didn’t judge me for who I was. Well, the same holds true for you. I wouldn’t change a thing. How could I? How could any of us?

Brooke: Oh! Oh, thank you all for being here. To make me laugh and cry. And reminisce. And most importantly, not to feel alone. But if I were to be honest, there is just one thing I want to hear.

Ridge: Logan?

Brooke: Ridge!

Ridge: Did you really think you’d make it through this night without me? You are unforgettable.

🎶🎵 Unforgettable / that’s what you are / unforgettable / though near or far / like a song of love / that clings to me / how the thought of you / does things to me / never before / has someone been more / unforgettable / in every way / and forever more / and forever more / that’s how you’ll stay / that’s how you’ll stay / that’s why, darling 🎶🎵

Ridge: 35 years… only getting stronger.

🎶🎵 So unforgettable this romance is gonna last forever. 🎶🎵

Brooke: I love you, ridge.

Ridge: I love you, logan.

🎶🎵 That’s why, darling / it’s incredible / that someone / so unforgettable / thinks that I am / unforgettable too 🎶🎵

Steffy: I knew thomas was hiding something. He’s been so intense, shutting me out.

Finn: And why is he in the alley talking with sheila?

Steffy: That’s what I want to know. What has my brother gotten himself into?

Brooke: You said that we could get through anything. For better or for worse, in sickness or in health. You said that.

Ridge: I did. But those were not the only vows we made that day.

Brooke: I know. I know I hurt you and I continue to hurt you. I just… want to know if you still believe that we can get through anything–

Ridge: Logan. Logan. I came here to check on you. Make sure you’re not drinking.

Brooke: Because that’s what we do. We check on each other. I made the worst mistake I’ve ever made by letting you go, ridge, and I want you back. You’re my husband. Come home. Be my husband.

Finn: Okay, uh, maybe I’ve missed something. Just walk me through this again.

Steffy: Thomas has been acting really strange and whenever I ask him what’s wrong, he dodges the question.

Finn: You said the phone conversation that you overheard with thomas was intense?

Steffy: Yeah, I tried to ask him about it and he wouldn’t open up. And then he left the office. So i– I followed him.

Finn: And when you saw them together, what did they look like? Was– was it confrontational?

Steffy: I couldn’t really tell from where I was standing but it was clear that they wanted their privacy.

Finn: Why didn’t you just confront them?

Steffy: I wanted to do that! But I didn’t want to give sheila a chance to spin some kind of story so she could defend herself.

Finn: This is weird, steffy. Especially knowing how thomas feels about sheila.

Steffy: Something is going on with thomas. I need to know what it is.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Hey sweetie! I heard you were working late. Thought you might want to go grab a bite to eat with your old mom. Is everything okay?

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Thomas, you can’t hide from me. I can tell something’s wrong. What is it?

Ridge: You want me to come home?

Brooke: Yes, I do. You know, I– I know I set you free. But… I mean, really, who does that? It’s really kind of silly, actually, because when you want something so bad, when you want that thing or person in your life, you don’t just set them free. Gotta hold onto it. Right? I mean… we’ve been through too much together, ridge. Just too much to let it end like this. We can’T.

[ Sighs ] I love you and I miss you. And I want you to come back. I do. So just please, please come home. Please be with me. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Steffy: We both know this wouldn’t be the first time thomas’ gotten himself into something.

Finn: But we don’t even know what this is yet.

Steffy: I think he could be in trouble.

Finn: Steffy–

Steffy: If he’s having conversations with sheila, like, no good can come from that.

Finn: But what if it can? Maybe thomas is acting strange because your parents are getting closer.

Steffy: That would make him act strange?

Finn: Well, yeah, because, uh, it’s something that he’s always hoped for. And now that it’s happening, he’s– he’s thinking it’s too good to be true. You both know what it’s like to watch your parents’ relationship fall apart.

Steffy: Yeah, but brooke is out of the picture. It’s like no way my father’s going back to her.

Finn: But brooke isn’t the only threat to your family. Maybe thomas met with sheila to put her on notice. Maybe he’s just trying to protect you guys.

Steffy: Protect us?

Finn: Well, think about it, the idea of your parents finally reuniting, maybe he’s just trying to make sure that nothing gets in the way of that.

Steffy: Why doesn’t he just tell me? Why is he trying to hide it?

Finn: Well, because of me. Sheila’s my birth mother. You’re my wife and he knows how much tension that caused when she first arrived. Maybe he thought if he told you, it’d would just add to it. Look. Thomas, he’s thrilled about taylor and ridge.

Steffy: So thrilled that he’s trying to protect it. I mean, it does make sense. As weird as my brother is acting, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to get our parents back together.

Taylor: Thomas, what’s going on?

Thomas: Mom, you don’t need to worry about me.

Taylor: Okay, well, too bad. I’m your mom, so.

Thomas: I’m asking you to trust me. I’m okay. All right? I’m better than okay. You and dad are getting back together–

Taylor: Ah, you’re deflecting.

Thomas: I’m not.

Taylor: Yeah, you are.

Thomas: No, I’m not. I’m not deflecting–

Taylor: Mm.

Thomas: You and dad finally have another chance together and that’s amazing. It is, but if I seem out of sorts, maybe it’s just because I’ve recognized that’s happened before. And obviously, you didn’t end up together, so. I guess I’m just a little worried.

Taylor: I understand. Look, this is not at all what I expected when I came back to L.A. You know, your father and I share a very special bond. With everything that’s going on we’ve– we’ve been reconnecting and it’s been really nice, so. Thomas?

Thomas: Yeah, you, um, you do have a special bond. You guys love each other genuinely. And you’re such a loving person, you’re– you’re– you’re amazing. I mean, you– what you poured into me, the amount of help you gave me when I was going through everything I went through, I–

Taylor: Honey, you did all the work. I– I wish that I would have been there.

Thomas: No, heh, I don’t– I don’t agree with that. You definitely did a lot of work. It doesn’t really matter, look, what I’m saying is that you… you’re an incredibly loving person. And you pour that out of yourself to people, you genuinely want to help people. And that love shines through day and night for you. And I want to make sure that you have someone in your life that pours that kind of love into you. And the way that I see dad with you, it seems like he does. He loves you like that. And I just want to make sure that nothing gets in the way of that.

Brooke: I’ve made terrible mistakes, I know that. I’ve broken your heart and I hate myself for that. But honestly, ridge, I wouldn’t be asking you to come home if I didn’t think we could get through this. ‘Cause you are my destiny. And we’ve taken this amazing, wonderful, exciting yet sometimes painful road. And we’ve gone on this road together, ridge. Has been an incredible journey. It has. And I don’t want it to end. And I don’t think you do, either. Let’s just do this, okay? Let’S… go down this road together. We can do it. What do you say? When tired, achy feet make your whole body want to stop,

Finn: Look, I understand your concern. But as far as sheila goes, she seems to be on her best behavior. Spending christmas eve with us– it gave her hope. I didn’t get the impression that she’d be willing to risk all the progress that she made.

Steffy: And thomas?

Finn: He’s probably just protecting his family.

Steffy: Yeah. Maybe.

Finn: Hey, come here. Thomas is going to be okay. All right? Everyone is.

Steffy: This is nice.

Finn: Yeah, it is.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Do you hear that?

Steffy: No, I don’t hear anything.

Finn: Exactly. Kids are asleep. Everyone’s gone.

Steffy: And I ruined your surprise dinner plans by getting home before you.

Finn: Luckily, I think quick on my feet. So why don’t I check on the kids and you meet me in the bedroom?

Ridge: What are we doing here, huh? I didn’t– I didn’t come here tonight to– to have you beg my forgiveness. I– I’m here because I was concerned about you. I still am.

Brooke: Well, I still haven’t had a drink if that’s what you’re getting at, and I’m not tempted to–

Ridge: You were tempted, new year’s eve. And we still don’t know what triggered you. And I don’t want that to happen again.

Brooke: Well, I’m not triggered now,

Ridge: I can’t do this with you.

Brooke: I’m not, ridge. I’m not triggered now. I don’t want to drink. All I want is you.

Finn: It’s been too long. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Steffy: How did you do this so quickly?

Finn: I have my ways. There also might be a pile of dirty clothes under the bed.

Steffy: Okay. And the rose petals…

Finn: Mm, I can’t reveal all my secrets. I’ve been waiting for a night like this. A night where it’S… just us.

Steffy: Me too.

Finn: And I don’t know what I did to deserve you. I am the luckiest man in the world. I fall more in love with you every minute, every day. You are… you’re fire, you’re strength, you– you’re a total bad ass. But you’re warm, and you’re sensitive, and sexy.

Steffy: Even when I’m covered in spit up?

Finn: Especially then. You have brought… so much… into my life. And I’m looking forward to a long and happy future with you. I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Nowhere I’d rather be

than right here

with you next to me

sunlight in the cobwebs

in the air

lying on our backs

without a care in the world

almost too good to be real

cause this is how love

used to feel

and I think most every

moment with you

is a reverie

woah!

[ Emotional strings play ]

Every moment with you

is a reverie

Taylor: I know how– how happy you are that your dad and I are reconnecting but it’s not your responsibility to bring us back together, you know?

Thomas: I know it’s not my responsibility but if there’s something I can do then I will. You’ve sacrificed so much to help so many people. I mean, when’s it your turn to be happy? To have other people sacrifice for you? And look, dad gives you the kind of love and fulfillment that you deserve. And you obviously give that back to him.

Taylor: You make it sound all poetic, like your father and I are soul mates.

Thomas: You’re not?

Taylor: Honey, I love your dad so much. I– I really do. That has never changed. After all these years, even the thought of him makes my heart skip a beat. But with everything that’s going on with brooke, um, I don’t want to admit that I– I’d love to have a life with him and get a second chance. But, I do hope that. I really do.

Thomas: I hope so, too.

Brooke: What happened that night doesn’t change how much I love you. Is that so hard to believe?

Ridge: I don’t know what to believe, anymore.

Brooke: You do, ridge. You know what to believe. You know you can believe that I love you with my entire being. Look, I understand why you can’t be here with me. I do. Just know that I will wait. I will wait for as long as you need me to. Because I will always love you. And I know you will always love me, too.

Ridge: Hey. You’re right. I love you. I will always love you.

Thomas: What you’re asking–

Sheila: No, what I’m asking is what’s best for everyone.

Thomas: Not everyone.

Sheila: Oh, let it go. Focus on your loved ones. Focus on what matters to you most: Your parents, your family. And they can have everything that you want for them. You just have to keep quiet. You don’t say anything, thomas. Not one word.

Steffy: Thomas? I want to find out what the hell’s going on.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s better, but it’s still not right. Try this here. Try and put this on. It’s good. Not it, though. Still something missing.

Eric: Belt the dress. It’ll make it, uh, bit more casual without losing any of this sophistication.

[ Ridge laughing ] Ladies and gentlemen, eric forrester is still the best in the business.

Eric: Thank you, thank you.

Ridge: This one? Yeah?

Eric: That’s it.

Ridge: All right. Excuse me.

[ Sighing ] Wow, you’re right. Thank you.

Eric: Perfect.

Ridge: And rebekah, thank you. You can leave that on. We’ll uh… yeah, it’s all we need today.

Rebekah: Thanks, eric.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: What just happened?

Eric: She’s very flirty, isn’t she? I’m not complaining, it’s just interesting. Don’t tell quinn or she’ll have that young lady’s job.

Ridge: Quinn. That’s your wife. That’s right.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: How are you guys doing?

Eric: We’re fine, thanks for asking. How are you doing, son? Now that you and brooke are no longer living together?

Brooke: Ugh, why do I keep doing this to myself? I had the most amazing life with a man that I love so much, and I just threw it all away. What is wrong with me?

Hope: Mom, there is nothing wrong with you. You have to stop taking what happened and turning it back onto yourself.

Brooke: Honey, it is me. It is. I drank. I kissed deacon. I defended deacon when I should have been supporting my husband. This is all on me.

Hope: Okay, well, I– I don’t believe that ridge entirely sees it that way. He understands that alcohol did play a part. I mean, mom, his heart went out to you when you first told him about it. And he still loves you.

Brooke: Honey, look at the history. I’ve hurt ridge too many times, and every time I promise him it won’t happen again, and it always does. I mean, how can I expect him to believe me when I can’t even believe myself? That’s how I justified letting him go.

[ Sighing ] If I could just figure out what cost me my sobriety, you know, if I could just find that trigger. If I could do that, then maybe ridge and i could have a chance.

Ridge: How am I doing? Honestly, I don’t know.

Eric: You’re still staying at steffy and finn’s house?

Ridge: The guesthouse, yeah.

Eric: I know that must mean a lot to her and to thomas that you’re there. Taylor, too, of course.

Ridge: Well, she knows everything that’s going on. Taylor’s always been like an oasis to me.

Eric: She has always been there, hasn’t she?

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: I think the world of her, you know? Your mother always did, too.

Ridge: She was mom’s choice for me.

Eric: Because taylor was, and is, a wonderful, lovely, principled woman. But we all know that brooke is the woman for you. I hate what this is doing to you, son. And I hate what it’s doing to brooke, too.

Thomas: You switched the champagne labels, sheila. You triggered brooke’s relapse.

Sheila: No, I did what nobody else had the guts to do, stand up to brooke.

Thomas: By using her addiction to alcohol against her?

Sheila: Oh, god. There you go again, thinking with your heart, not your head. What is wrong with you, thomas? You don’t even like brooke.

Thomas: That’s not the point. This is about–

Sheila: No, it’s about her betraying your father for the umpteenth time.

Thomas: A betrayal that was orchestrated by you.

Sheila: Yeah, that benefited you, that benefited your parents, and benefited your entire family.

Thomas: And yours. Don’t act like this was some selfless act, sheila.

Sheila: No, I never claimed otherwise. But if we can both win at the end…

Thomas: This isn’t a game, sheila. A marriage is at stake. People’s lives and happiness could be changed by what you’ve done.

Sheila: Yes. And maybe for the better. Taylor and ridge could be reunited, your family could be whole again because of me, thomas. You should be singing my praises, not contemplating ratting me out to your family.

[ Door closing ]

Finn: Babe? How long have you been home?

Steffy: Not long, why?

Finn: Ah, I was just– I was going to surprise you and have dinner ready for you when you walked through the door.

Steffy: Aw.

Finn: Ha ha. Is everything okay? You seem a little distracted.

Steffy: Uh, I’m sorry.

Finn: No, no, no, no. It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize, though, is something going on? Something wrong?

Steffy: I’m not sure exactly. It has something to do with um, my brother and your mother. When hurting feet make you want to stop,

Eric: Ridge, you know you have my support no matter… no matter what you decide about all this.

Ridge: I do know that, dad. Thank you. Not really sure how objective you could possibly be knowing how you feel about brooke.

Eric: I feel the same affection for taylor, I really do. They’re both remarkable women.

Ridge: They are. And very different women, bringing different things to my life.

Eric: And I think that’s something very important for you to remember. I know how much this time means to you, this time that you’re spending with steffy and thomas, and with taylor. You’re a supportive, attentive, loving father and grandfather. You can do that for all of them and still go back to brooke.

Brooke: Ugh! Oh, well. I never learn, do I?

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: No, it’s true. I hurt people, especially the people that I love. No wonder stephanie felt the way she did about me. I just tore through her family, ridge, eric, thorne. I can understand why she had so much contempt for me.

Stephanie: You know,

beneath that beautiful face and

body of yours is a really evil,

wicked, wicked woman

who forgot a really important

lesson in life: Evil

does not triumph over good.

Brooke: She really did despise me. And I gave her every reason to. Oh, she would be mad at me if she knew what I did to ridge this time. How I hurt him, how I let him down once again. And I– I don’t even know why.

Sheila: Okay, you might not like my methods, but you cannot argue the results. Ridge left brooke, and he is safely in the bosom of his family with your mother.

Thomas: For which I should be eternally grateful to you.

Sheila: Yes, you should be. But right now, I just want you to focus on your father and the years of humiliation that he has been through all these years with brooke. And then I want to ask yourself just one question: How much more disrespect should he and your family take? Please, just help me. Help me free ridge of brooke once and for all.

Finn: Thomas and my mother?

Steffy: Thomas hasn’t been acting like himself, especially when it comes to our parents. Like, my dad is living here, my mom and my dad, they’re getting closer.

Finn: That’s something thomas wants.

Steffy: Yeah, like, he should be happy, but instead he’s like, stressed and worried, like he’s carrying around all this weight.

Finn: Then he should be happy.

Steffy: Then why isn’t he? And now to find out that my brother is meeting up with your mom? Like, what is going on? What is thomas up to? I brought in ensure max protein,

Finn: Like, does thomas know that you saw him with sheila?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Well, then how did you

Steffy: I–I heard him on the phone at the office. And when I questioned him about it, thomas wouldn’t open up. And then when he left I um… I followed him.

Finn: To?

Steffy: Il giardino. That’s where he met up with sheila.

Sheila: Your family’s well-being is in your hands. You can choose a future where ridge and taylor are reunited, where ridge never has to suffer the pain and angst that brooke has brought into his life, a future where taylor and ridge grow old with one another. You can do this, thomas. You can rid brooke from your father’s life, from all of your lives permanently if you just keep our secret. Keep our secret. If you wimp out– just don’t wimp out! If you do, I promise you’re going to hate yourself forever.

Ridge: Thank you, dad, for your honest advice. I know you always want the best for me.

Eric: I do, but I will always believe that brooke is absolutely your destiny.

Hope: How about we go for a drive, mom? Or a walk? I mean, anything to get you out of the house because you’ve been cooped up inside, pacing around, berating yourself, and that’s not good.

Brooke: You know, I know why stephanie fought me so hard. To keep me out of ridge’s life. Because she knew it wasn’t good for him. She knew I’d keep hurting him if she didn’t stop me.

Stephanie: You have

systematically chipped away

at the integrity of

our family over these years.

You’ve besmirched our name,

tainted our reputation,

and brought nothing, nothing

but scandal and misery to us.

Brooke: You know,

stephanie, you talk about

integrity and honor.

But what kind of a person

finds pleasure in

somebody else’s misery?

Stephanie: Well,

you tell me, miss.

Didn’t taylor beg you to

leave her family alone?

You knew the heartbreak

you were putting her through,

and you didn’t care.

You didn’t care at all.

You saw an opening and

you took it, and you drove

that woman right to the edge.

Brooke: I don’t need

to justify myself to you,

not after what you did to me.

Stephanie: I was

protecting my family.

Brooke: By corrupting mine!

Stephanie: Well, honey,

you reap what you sow.

Brooke: Hah! You think

I brought this on myself?

Stephanie: Yes.

You told me that you would

destroy my family and

there wasn’t anything

that I could do about it.

Well, you were wrong.

I didn’t have to do something

about it because ridge

came to his senses.

And now they all see you for

exactly what you are,

and they don’t want to have

anything to do with you.

You’re finished, brooke.

You’re finally finished.

Brooke: I regret letting him go. But I do love ridge. I always will. Maybe stephanie was right all along.

[ Brooke sighing ] Nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Finn: Maybe thomas and sheila just ran into each other at il giardino?

Steffy: It wasn’t like that. They weren’t sitting at a table. They weren’t by the bar.

Finn: Well, where were they?

Steffy: They were in the alley behind the restaurant.

Finn: That’s weird.

Steffy: You know what’s weird? My brother can’t stand sheila. But yet there he was, with sheila, alone. Like, they were very intense, but I don’t know what they were talking about. Like, what would my brother have to discuss with her? Why would he do that? What is going on with my brother and your mother?

Sheila: You can do this,

thomas.

You can rid brooke from

your father’s life, from all of

your lives permanently if

you just keep our secret.

Brooke: Stephanie was unrelenting. There’s nothing she wouldn’t say or do to keep me out of ridge’s life.

Stephanie: Like I’ve tried

to teach you ever since

the first miserable day

that you walked into my life:

My family stands for integrity,

and honor, and love.

That’s how we have

survived your craziness

all of these years.

And now it’s over, it’s over.

And I get to say with

a delicious little smile

on my face: I won.

I won.

[ “I won” echoing ]

Brooke: She knew me better than I know myself. I gave up the best man in the world, all because of that one night. That one night, hope, that cost me everything.

Hope: Mom, ridge loves you.

Brooke: Well then why would I do that? Why would I hurt him again like that? I mean, first there was bill, and then there was deacon. I mean, what is wrong with me? I have a serious flaw in my character. And stephanie saw that. That is why she did everything she possibly could to get rid of me out of her life, out of ridge’s life. And now he is. I mean, he’s over at steffy and taylor’S. I set him free, and I told him I’d make the divorce easy. I don’t know why I did that. I don’t want a divorce. I don’t want to spend one more day without him.

Hope: Tell him what’s in your heart.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I can’T. I can’t eat or– I can’t sleep. I– I can’t do anything without you, ridge. I made a mistake by sending you over to taylor’s and steffy’S. I never should have let you walk out that door. But I did. But it’s not what I want. I want to be able to work through this, and I, I believe it’s something that maybe we can do together. I need you to come home. Come back to me, ridge, please. Come home.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Sheila: You’ve got to stay quiet, thomas, this has got to stay between us.

Thomas: I don’t think I should do it. What choice do you have? Your parents’ happiness is at stake here. Yours and steffy’S. Brooke is out of your lives. Don’t ruin all the progress that your family has made.

Thomas: Okay, look, I think we should meet in person.

Sheila: It’s too dangerous. We–we shouldn’t be seen together, thomas.

Thomas: It’s either that, or the alternative.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I definitely don’t want you coming back here to my hotel because that is too dangerous. So why don’t you meet me in the alley behind il giardino?

Steffy: Thomas. What is going on?

Brooke: I let him off the hook, deacon.

Deacon: And now you regret it.

Brooke: I thought I was doing ridge a favor by setting him free, but now I don’t know, what– what was I thinking?

Deacon: You–you didn’t think you had any options. Look, he hasn’t exactly been a prince through this whole thing. You know, he not only overreacted with our little kiss, but made a beeline over to taylor–

Brooke: Yeah, but because he was tired of me defending you.

Deacon: He leaves you at your most vulnerable point, jumps ship to the other team, and now he’s– he’s living in steffy’s guest house? I mean, come on, talk about overreacting.

Brooke: I know. But I told him he could have a divorce, and I don’t know why I did that because I don’t want to lose him. Deacon, I don’T.

Hope: Mom? Dad. What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Deacon: Your mom’s having a rough day.

Hope: Oh, well, is there anything we can do?

Brooke: No, honey. I– I just can’t believe how I got here. I mean, how I put myself in this predicament, destroying my marriage. What have I done?

Brooke: What did you

say your name was?

Sheila: Sheila carter.

Brooke: Oh, yes, of course,

the new nurse at forrester,

you have excellent credentials.

Sheila: Really, I’m an

expert with kids.

You know, you’re the one

and only person that can look

at brooke and say to

myself, “she’s my friend.”

Brooke: I don’t like you.

I think you’re a clinging,

pitiful, dependent human being.

Sheila: You don’t mean it.

Brooke: Yes, I do.

I mean every word of it.

You’re crazy.

You haven’t changed.

You’re incapable of change.

You’re still that crazy,

psychotic lunatic.

And I don’t want you anywhere

near my family.

Do you hear me?

You can’t be here, sheila.

I’m not going to let you put

eric in this position.

You have to leave.

But you’re dangerous, sheila.

A sociopath, and steffy

and her family need to be

protected from you.

I am going to make

certain that you are out

of all of our lives.

Once and for all.

[ Knocking on door ]

Sheila: Finn! I– wasn’t expecting this, uh, surprise visit from my son, not that I am complaining. What a pleasant surprise that.

Finn: Oh, I had to come by and check up on you.

Sheila: Check up on me?

Finn: I want to believe that you aren’t creating any more problems.

Steffy: There is something up with you.

Thomas: What are you talking about? I am fine. You expect me to believe that?

Thomas: Steffy, I’m not really in the mood right now.

Steffy: You’ve been acting really strange lately.

Thomas: You know, you’ve been saying that since we were kids?

Steffy: What about your phone conversation just now?

Thomas: What about it?

Steffy: Sounded pretty intense.

Thomas: So now you’re eavesdropping.

Steffy: Something is going on thomas, and I’m starting to get worried. What is going on? Tell me. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Hope: Mom, I hate seeing you like this.

Brooke: I don’t even know who I am anymore, and I look into the mirror and I don’t even recognize this woman looking back at me.

Hope: Well, then maybe we need to get someone in here who can actually help you.

Brooke: I am getting help, honey. I’m still going to my meetings and I’m seeing my therapist.

Liam: And you’ve stayed sober, which is huge.

Brooke: Yeah, but I still sent ridge away to live a life without me.

Hope: Well, ridge will come to his senses, but in the meantime, you have to stop making yourself sick over this.

Brooke: It’s too late, honey, I said goodbye to ridge. I made the worst decision of my life.

Deacon: Brooke, I don’t know if this helps, but when you and hope let me back into your life, it taught me that it’s never too late.

Brooke: Deacon, I– I still need to fill in the blanks. I need to put the pieces back together.

Sheila: Why do you always wonder if I’m up to no good?

Finn: I want to believe that you’re finally a changed woman. All the– all the things that you’ve been saying to taylor. Yeah, yeah, I know that you’ve been making visits to steffy’s mother.

Sheila: So taylor has filled you in, then, huh?

Finn: Yeah. And you know, you’re not supposed to just show up at her office.

Sheila: I know that, but we have a– a rather nice rapport, and she’s been very understanding about my desire to have a closer relationship with you and my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, taylor’s great. I’m lucky to be part of steffy and her family’s lives. You know, they’re my family now. And they mean the world to me.

Sheila: I’m your family too, finn. It’s just nice when we can all be in a room together. Show hayes what forgiveness and understanding really does look like, like to be a good example for my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, but steffy, she still has her walls up when it comes to you,

Sheila: Okay, well, I– I understand that. But her mother has been so welcoming. I’m hoping that I’m going to get to spend more time with you soon.

Finn: And a lot of that depends on you, whether or not you can stay on the straight and narrow, which I am counting on you doing. So please don’t let me down, mother.

Steffy: I know you, thomas. You can’t put anything past me.

Thomas: Oh, I know.

Steffy: So you would tell me if something were wrong, right?

Thomas: You don’t need to worry about me, steff.

Steffy: Why are you like, so intense right now? I don’t get it. Dad’s not staying at brooke’s, we don’t have to deal with the logans, mom and dad are getting closer. They’re reconnecting. You should be as happy as I am.

Thomas: Believe me, there is nothing I would like more, but it’s not that simple.

Steffy: I get that, not everything right now is rainbows and butterflies, but it feels as though our family is getting back on track, feels like a miracle.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s something like that. Look, I know that everything has been so hectic for dad lately. I’m doing the best that I can to make sure that he and our entire family are safe and happy.

Steffy: Good. Glad to hear it. Not that I was worried or anything that we weren’t on the same page. I know you’re as loyal to our family as anybody.

Thomas: Well, you should have no doubt about that. Now I do have to go. I’m meeting someone, so I’ll catch up with you later.

Sheila: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Sheila: Uh-huh. Look, I understand that steffy has arguments for not trusting me.

Finn: Just all the– the history of you and the forres–

Sheila: Look– I am– I am, I am well aware and I am never going to forget the terrible mistakes that I’ve made, but that is behind us and everything that I do now, every decision I make, every move I make is so that I can get closer to you and my grandson,

Finn: Steffy and our son are the most important things to me. They’re my priority and they’re my life and my future. I have to do everything that I can to make sure that they feel protected.

Sheila: Oh, by keeping me at arm’s length?

Finn: Yes, for now. If– if you’re truly reformed and you’re living a good life, I’ll try to convince steffy to lighten up her opposition to you because I would really like to get to know you as my birth mother.

Sheila: I’ve disappointed you enough, son. And I promise you are never going to hear anything about me that would let you down again.

Hope: Okay, so now that dad has gone back to work, I need you to be completely open and honest with us.

Liam: Yeah, is deacon maybe adding to your anxiety because I kind of feel like he has that effect on people?

Brooke: No, gosh, no. Deacon isn’t to blame. I am.

Liam: Ye– okay, but hear me out here, and I’m going to say this as gently as possible. I think, I think if you want your best chance at reuniting with ridge, maybe time alone with deacon is not on the menu, especially considering how ridge feels about him?

Hope: And I’m sure, even though dad means well, because I know he feels partially responsible for what happened between the two of you that night, and I’m sure he’s just trying to be there for you and be supportive. I think liam has a point. It might be best to keep your distance right now.

Brooke: I know, I know, honey, I really, I understand. I didn’t invite deacon here. He just showed up. Same way he showed up that horrible nighT. But why couldn’t I control myself? I mean, who does that? Who betrays their own husband in their own home? I let another man sleep in our bed.

Liam: Okay–

Brooke: I know, stop, no, don’t say it. I know nothing happened. I know that, it’s just something really dark. Took over me. Something sinister. There was nothing I could do about it. I let it win.

Thomas: You’re late. I’ve been waiting for you.

Finn: Yeah, well, my son showed up unannounced and i wasn’t about to rush him off. He’s the reason after all I set all this is motion.

Thomas: So you say.

Sheila: If brooke hadn’t vowed to keep me from finn and hayes, I never would have set her up. Your parents reconnecting, that was actually icing on the cake, although I do believe taylor deserves to be reunited with ridge. I know you want that too, thomas,

Thomas: Brooke has hurt my dad more times than I can count, but we need to talk about this.

Sheila: What more is there to talk about? We’re this close to eliminating brooke from your father’s life permanently. Your, you parents are almost a couple again.

Thomas: Almost a couple. My dad is living in the guest house.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, when they’re ready to take it to the next level. And that’s going to come sooner than later, it’s just going to make things more meaningful.

Thomas: My father’s torn. He loves my mother, but he loves brooke too.

Sheila: That’s because he’s under brooke’s spell. Don’t you think it’s time we break that cycle, thomas? Don’t be tempted to tell anyone about what happened at brooke’s

Thomas: I want what’s best for my father, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep this under wraps.

Deacon: Wow.

Steffy: Deacon.

Deacon: Steffy forrester. Been a while. You– you’re having lunch?

Steffy: I’m looking for thomas. Have you seen him? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Brooke: I have to face up to what I did.

Hope: Mom, you have been. You’ve been taking accountability

Liam: Yeah, little too much. You asked me, I think you’re cutting yourself zero slack here.

Brooke: I destroyed the most important relationship I ever had, with a man that I love. Ridge has been so patient and so understanding, and all I did was hurt him. I took it too far, I took our marriage vows and I just… threw them to hell. What? Why? Because I just wanted to drink alcohol? Because I wanted to kiss deacon? No, I want ridge. That’s all I want, and I need to get him to understand. And I have to figure out a way to explain it all to him.

Steffy: Have you seen my brother?

Deacon: No, I just got here. You want a drink or something?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: Okie doke, suit yourself.

Bartender: Excuse me. I couldn’t help overhearing, but you’re steffy forrester, right? Yeah, I know who your brother is.

Steffy: Did you see him?

Bartender: Yeah, I– i can’t promise he’s still there, but I just saw him in the alley when I took the trash out.

Steffy: In the alley?

Bartender: Yeah, I don’t know what he’s doing back there, but…

Steffy: Thank you.

Bartender: Sure. Yeah.

Sheila: You can’t say anything, thomas. You need to keep our secret.

Thomas: Our secret? Don’t you mean your secret?

Sheila: No, this is our secret now.

Thomas: You’re the one who sabotaged brooke that night, sheila.

Sheila: Yes. So your parents could get back together.

Thomas: And so you could have a life with finn.

Sheila: And what’s so wrong with that? It’s a win-win. We both get what we want. Steffy and taylor get what they want, too.

Thomas: What you did was messed up, sheila.

Sheila: Oh, come on. You’re no saint.

Thomas: You’re right. I’m not. I’ve done some terrible things and I let my family down, and I don’t want to do that again.

Sheila: I know you don’t want to, but we both know perfectly well that’s exactly what is going to happen if you allow brooke back into your father’s life. Haven’t your parents suffered enough? And look at this– this moment that they have, and it’s right within their reach. So, where is the harm? Where is the harm in them experiencing a new beginning together? And finn, he wants me to have a bigger role in his life. And after all these years, I can start spending time with him. After all these years, thomas. We have been kept apart.

[ Sirens wailing ]

Sheila: It’s a new dawn, thomas. You think about it. You think about it very carefully, because this opportunity will never come again. This is a once in a lifetime gift. So, just go with it. Please, do– do this for me, do this for you, do this for your entire family. You be the hero.

Steffy: What the hell, thomas? If you think I’m not going to find out what’s going on, think again.

Liam: With respect to the contracts, we’ll have the legal team take a look at it and get back to you. But… uh, but we are very much looking forward to working with you. Okay. All right. Take care, john. Ah. I would ask if you’re okay, but you’re not, and I can see that, so how can I help?

Brooke: Oh, no, I mean, you’ve helped already so much. I mean, just letting me come down here without even calling, that’s a big help. So, I want to thank you for that. It’s just I’m not– I haven’t really been myself these days. So…

Liam: Yeah, well, how could you be? You’re always welcome here, though.

Brooke: Thanks. I was actually looking for hope. Is she around?

Steffy: You said it yourself, dad, that you need peace and stability in your life with a woman you can trust. None of that adds up to brooke. You know you belong with mom. With the forrester family. My mother loves you, ridge, with everything that she has, and she messed up. But she admits that, and if she could take it back, she would.

Sheila: I shouldn’t have to tell you, you’re a smart guy, thomas. I mean, keeping the secret benefits not only you, but your family.

Thomas: So I’m just supposed to forget the reason that brooke drank that night?

Sheila: Yes. Why do you care? You and steffy are both getting what you– you wanted– your parents back together.

Thomas: It’s not like they’re really a couple. My dad’s living in the guesthouse.

Sheila: Well, I’m not thrilled to hear that your father’s sleeping alone. But given time, my plan will work. You just have to stay quiet and let it. You tell no one, thomas. This is our secret. You got that? Are you good. Good.

Deacon: Scheming much?

Liam: Said on the box this is supposed to calm your nerves, so…

Brooke: Oh, well, I need that. Thank you.

Liam: Yeah. Hey, if you need to talk, you know, you can talk to me. I mean, I’m not hope, granted. But I’m a pretty good listener and my shoulders are strong.

[ Laughs ] I don’t want to lay my stuff on you. I mean, hope is my daughter, she has to listen to me. You don’T.

Liam: Well, still want to. If you let me.

Brooke: That means a lot. Thanks. It’s just, uh… I don’t know. Everything happened so quickly. And it’s all my fault, of course. But I just miss my husband. Very much.

Steffy: That vodka didn’t just pour down brooke’s throat on its own.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: She chose to drink and carry on with deacon. Uh, you both know that my mother is an alcoholic, and I’m not using that as an excuse, but I do think that it is wrong to throw that in her face and punish her for one slip.

Steffy: One slip? Brooke kissed deacon. He stayed in my father’s bed. Look, my father is where he belongs– with my mother and our family. Where he has the respect and unconditional love he deserves. This isn’t the first time brooke betrayed my dad. She made a choice, and now she has to pay the consequence.

Sheila: How long have you been standing there?

Deacon: What if I told you it was long enough to hear something that you didn’t want me to know?

Sheila: I say not a chance, because my life is an open book.

Deacon: Sure.

Sheila: Why are you being so passive? I mean, the apron is really cute, but I think you need to ditch that and start focusing on a real opportunity. Brooke is alone and ridge is with his other family at steffy’S. We are within arm’s reach of what we both want: The end of ridge and brooke. What, you’re going to miss that opportunity because you are mopping floors? Why don’t you seize the moment? What are you going to do? (Asaad) when I was little,

Sheila: Come on, deacon. Why don’t you take off that apron and your pants and put that mop away?

[ Deacon scoffs ]

Deacon? What do you want me to do? You want me to throw her over my shoulder and haul her off back to my cave?

Sheila: That’s not a bad idea. She might like that.

Deacon: Yeah, I think you’re projecting now.

Sheila: Well, that’s something we’ll have to figure out another time, right? Let’s just focus on the task at hand.

Deacon: She’s made her feelings pretty clear. She wants ridge, not me.

Sheila: That’s when she thought ridge was still an option, before he started cozying up to taylor. And he’s not really cozying up quite enough. I think that’s where you come in. You can actually push ridge into the taylor column for good, and that’s a beautiful thing, because then we get exactly what we want and you get the added bonus of getting to spend time with the girl of your nightmares.

[ Sheila chuckles ] I’m sorry, your dreams. So, why don’t you go after your dream? Put on that charm and that sex appeal, because we know brooke is very vulnerable to that. So, why don’t you go after it, caveman?

[ Sheila chuckles]

Brooke: Just a few months ago, I swore that there was nothing that could come between ridge and me. But I wasn’t banking on myself. I mean, why did I do that?

Liam: God, I wish I had an answer for you.

Brooke: There’s something else I did that I regret, too. Yeah. You mean handing ridge over to taylor on a silver platter?

Brooke: Yeah, well, I didn’t want him to be miserable anymore, and I thought maybe he could be happy in a different situation. You know, with his other family, with taylor. So, I… I offered him a divorce.

Liam: Brooke!

Brooke: Yeah…

Liam: Wh– why?

Brooke: I don’t know.

Liam: Why?

Brooke: I– I’m starting to think that maybe I was wrong.

Liam: Yeah, you think? What are you even doing here? Go–

Brooke: You know what I need to do? I need to stand up.

Liam: Yes.

Brooke: And fight.

Liam: Yes.

Brooke: Like I used to.

Liam: Exactly. Go fight for your marriage. Go do it.

Brooke: I need to fight for my marriage.

Liam: Un-ring the bell.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Liam: Go, go, get outta here.

Brooke: Thank you. Thank you.

Liam: You’re welcome. Go.

Brooke: I’ll talk to you later.

Hope: Ridge, please just hear me out. When it comes to betrayal, intention has to matter. I mean, my mom, she didn’t plan to drink that night. She didn’t plan to be with deacon. He just happened to show up again after she had a few too many, and one thing led to another, and things got out of hand.

Steffy: I am so sick of you and brooke using alcohol to justify brooke’s behavior. Okay, let’s say the booze made her do it. Brooke still chose to drink. And why was deacon in the house in the first place? Brooke knows how my father feels about him. If she sent him on his way, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But I really don’t have any complaints here, because everything’s working out in the end. My father’s back where he belongs.

Hope: Ridge, I know that my mother hurt you, but I believe that would have never happened if she wasn’t drinking. And I get that you are upset with her for defending my father time and time again, but she’s doing that for me. She loves you. Ridge, it has always been you, and I know underneath all of your hurt and anger, that you still love her, too.

Deacon: Hey.

Brooke: Deacon! What are you doing here?

Deacon: Just came to check on you.

Brooke: I’m fine.

Deacon: I doubt it. But if you let me in, you hear me out, you might be.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Deacon: Look, I know you’re going through a rough time, and I just thought maybe these would help. And when you open it, you’ll notice I picked out your favorites.

Brooke: How did you know?

Deacon: I remember. In between our more passionate moments a lifetime ago, you did manage to open up just a little bit to me. And I remember. I remember everything, brooke. Every single moment. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

Liam: Hey. So, what do you think about sushi for… oh. Bad day.

Hope: Had better.

Liam: I’m sorry.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: That helped.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: Well, I got as many of those as you need. What happened?

Hope: Well, I had a little run-in with steffy at the office about mom and ridge. Liam: That doesn’t sound intense at all.

Hope: Mm. Obviously, there is a very strong difference of opinion regarding whom ridge should be with, and whether steffy, thomas or taylor like to admit it, my mom and ridge still love each other.

Brooke: Deacon, if you came here thinking we’re going to skip down memory lane, that’s just not going to happen.

Deacon: Okay, so that’s pretty clear. Not a lot of gray area there. Hey, what if it’s just what I said, that I came here to check on you?

Brooke: Oh, well, let’s see. Well, I just handed my husband over to a woman who’s been lying in wait for decades, just like a gift. So, yeah, I don’t know. I mean, I trashed my own happiness. Really, what is wrong with me?

Deacon: Not a damn thing. Brooke, you fell off the wagon. It happens.

Brooke: I did more than that. I kissed you and I let you sleep in a bed that I share with my husband. Deacon: Well, we passed out. Nothing happened. Look, you’ve got to stop beating yourself up over this thing, all right? If ridge really loved you, he’d forgive you. You deserve better than this.

Brooke: There’s nobody better than ridge.

Brooke: Oh, how could I let him go?

Steffy: Hope was being such a hypocrite. What happened to the clear-eyed truth teller?

Thomas: Do you have to be so hard on her, steff? She’s just looking out for her mother like we are.

Steffy: Well, I think she’s in denial. Look, I get dad is always going to care about brooke on some level, but hope is constantly justifying brooke’s reckless behavior. Yeah, okay, you can make a mistake. I get that. But this has become a pattern.

Ridge: Come on, steffy.

Steffy: You know I’m right, dad. Since it’s always you that’s getting hurt. Look, I get when you and brooke are together, when it’s good, you guys are picture perfect, and then something snaps. It’s like she turns to another man, a man that you despise. How long are you going to put up with this? Really? Yeah, okay, I get that she was drinking, but dad, she chose to drink. Tell me you realize that?

Ridge: Oh, I realize it. I realize all of it. I realize you want to put this family back together. And I realize that you want what’s best for me. And I also realize that brooke has blown up this relationship to a point where maybe it’s– it’s not fixable anymore. But hope is right. There is a part of me that will always love brooke, and I don’t– I don’t think it’s ever going to go away. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo, Liam. I mean, he was stuck between steffy and me and both of us wanting what’s best for our mothers. And yet…

Liam: Brooke was– was here earlier. And… god, it’s just– it’s just so obvious how much she loves and misses ridge, and… how much she regrets letting him go.

Hope: That shouldn’t have happened.

Liam: Right.

Hope: I mean, she should fight for her marriage.

Brooke: I mean, what was I thinking? Letting ridge go like that? Pushing him into another woman’s arms? Taylor, no less. They have a history together. And because of that, he has feelings for her. They share a family. If anybody could take ridge away from me, it would be her.

Deacon: So, basically what you’re saying is that you haven’t given up on ridge?

Brooke: Yeah, basically. I love him, deacon. I never should’ve let him go.

Brooke: Ridge!

Brooke: I’m back, ridge. And I’m here to stay.

Ridge: My logan.

Brooke: Yes, your logan.

[ Thomas exhaling ]

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sheila sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Thomas, why are you calling me?

Thomas: Because I got no one to talk to about this. So far. Anyway.

Sheila: What do you mean, “so far”?

Thomas: Look, my dad loves my mom, he always has and always will, but he also loves brooke. Okay, and if he finds out what or who was the reason that she started drinking that night–

Sheila: He can’t know that.

Thomas: Keeping this secret doesn’t feel right, sheila.

Sheila: But it will. Once all the pieces fall into place– ridge is already living in steffy’s guesthouse, a stone’s throw away from taylor, and it’s only a matter of time before brooke reveals her true feelings towards deacon. The woman can’t stay alone a day in her life, and she does have feelings for him, or new year’s eve never would have happened. Booze-fueled or not.

Thomas: Booze-fueled because of you, sheila. Why are you so invested in this anyway?

Sheila: My son and grandson. Finn and hayes, they mean everything to me. I want to be in their lives, apart of their family’s life with you, steffy and– and taylor.

Thomas: Yeah. Talk about a long shot.

Sheila: Maybe, but I have to take it. My dreams, they stand a better chance of coming true as long as brooke is otherwise occupied. And this isn’t just about me. Taylor is– is a wonderful, compassionate woman and she’s in love with your father. This is her chance to have him. Ridge is the love of– of taylor’s life. She– she can have him back, and you can help make that happen by doing nothing. You just keep quiet. And everyone will get what’s best for them in the end if you keep this secret. You say nothing, not a word. We take this to our graves. Do you hear me, thomas? Thomas!

Thomas: Yes, I hear you.
