[ Intense music playing ]

Hope: We overcame so much to be together. Everyone’s objections, everything that has happened in the past, and thomas, it’s been worth it, right?

Thomas: I thought so.

Hope: Don’t do that. Not past tense. Thomas, we share something special. You make me feel a way that I’ve never felt with anyone else before.

Thomas: But you won’t marry me.

Hope: Ugh! Because I need more time! Do I really have to explain this, thomas? You know my history with liam. You know I just got divorced, and, god, I just wanted a moment to breathe, to discover who I am. And I– I thought we were on that same journey together. I– I really thought you understood. Thomas, please. Do not let steffy get in your head. Don’t let her destroy what we share. I– I can’t lose you.

Steffy: Hope had her way with thomas for way too long. That’s about to end. She’s in for a rude awakening.

Brooke: That’s my daughter you’re talking about.

Steffy: Oh, I know. Hope’s more and more like you every day.

Ridge: All right, why don’t–

Brooke: Obviously you think that’s a bad thing.

Steffy: Look, this wouldn’t bother me if thomas’s heart wasn’t at risk. It’s not like back in the day when you were running around, targeting my family, and you said that you were doing it– that you were acting out of love. Like, hope doesn’t even wanna pretend that she loves thomas.

Brooke: She does love him.

Ridge: All right, let’s just all take a breath, take a step back.

Steffy: No, I’m not gonna do that. Hope’s continuing the logan tradition. It’s obvious, and I’m not gonna stand by and let her hurt him.

Brooke: I am trying very hard not to be offended. But I can’t take all the hope bashing.

Steffy: It’s not bashing if it’s the truth. Hope is just turning into you, brooke. I mean, the way she is seducing my brother, targeting him? Thomas is completely devastated, because she is using him.

Brooke: That’s not true. She has real feelings for thomas.

Steffy: How many times is he gonna propose to her? How many times is she gonna turn him down while she’s wearing his engagement ring on a chain around her neck? That is totally unacceptable, and it needs to end. I think it’s happening right now.

Hope: Steffy is working against us. She’s in your ear. She’s trying to break us up. She’s making assumptions. She’s saying things about me that are just not true, thomas. Just because I can’t accept your proposal doesn’t mean that I don’t wanna be with you. I love what we have together.

Thomas: What do we have together, exactly? Is– is there commitment? Is this a relationship? Are we just, like, going steady? Are we building a foundation for the future, or is this… you taking out some revenge against your mom, or your ex, or my sister, or my family, whatever?

Hope: What?

Thomas: Maybe it’s not that emotional. Maybe it’s just you taking a walk on the wild side with the bad boy.

[ Hope scoffs ]

Hope: Thomas, you know that is not true.

Thomas: I don’t know anything, hope. That’s why I’m asking the question. How long do I have to wait? Huh? Will you ever love me the way that I love you?

()

Brooke: Why are you so invested in hope and thomas getting married? Why can’t they just be together?

Steffy: I’m not the one who’s invested. That would be thomas, who’s getting jerked around by hope. He deserves better. Like, dad, I thought you would agree with me on this.

Ridge: I do agree. Honestly, I just want thomas to do whatever makes him happy.

Brooke: Exactly. Well, I want the same thing for hope, and you need to stay out of this. You need to let them figure out their own relationship.

Steffy: Look, I’m not gonna apologize for defending my brother.

Ridge: And you shouldn’T. And that’s all she’s doing. She’s not going after hope at all.

Steffy: Oh, yes, I am. I want hope out of thomas’s life for good. I’m done with her leading him on, toying with his emotions. She’s not gonna break his heart anymore. The only person that’s gonna have a broken heart will be hope, not thomas.

Thomas: See, I’ve been asking myself that question since you turned me down. Will you ever be able to love me the way that I love you? No reservations, no conditions.

Hope: Please don’t doubt my feelings for you, thomas. Please don’t start that now. I love the man that you’ve become. This man. Kind, compassionate, talented, funny, an amazing father. Thomas, I don’t even have the words to describe how I feel, how you make me feel. It’s something I’ve– I’ve never experienced with anyone else before, and… it’s exhilarating being with you, and I– I don’t want that to change.

Thomas: See, but that’s the thing. Everything changes. Things progress.

Hope: Thomas, there is not just one set timeline in order for us to be a couple that we have to follow.

Thomas: Okay, so you– what, do you want this to always just be some breezy thing? Just never worrying about the future, always living right now in this moment?

Hope: Gosh, you are making this sound so much more casual than it is, and you know that. There is no one else for me, thomas. I adore you. And I’m sorry, I am sorry that I disappointed you. I am sorry that I couldn’t say yes. I am just not ready to be married again.

Thomas: When will you be ready?

Hope: You know I can’t answer that.

Thomas: Months? Years? Will you ever really be ready?

[ Hope scoffs ] See, the thing is, is… I don’t know if you really can answer that question. I don’t know if you believe that you ever could be ready, and that’s why I’m leaving.

Hope: You’re leaving?

Thomas: Yeah. This is too painful for me, hope. And maybe steffy’s right.

Hope: Steffy? No!

Thomas: Look, I know that this– this is not your fault. You’re not doing this on purpose, but when you wore that ring in front of me on the necklace, it just– it was too hard. It hurts too much. I can’t do it anymore. And I love you too much to put myself through that. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Brooke: Did you seriously just say that? You don’t care if you see hope hurt?

Steffy: I warned hope, do not play with thomas’s emotions. And we all know why. Everything that thomas went through. He’s vulnerable to her, so either she’s all in or she’s all out. But she doesn’t really care, ’cause she’s a logan, and all you guys care about is your needs and your wants and you, you, you.

Brooke: Seriously? Are you gonna let her talk to me like that?

Steffy: My dad doesn’t have to tell me to do anything.

Ridge: All right, I would ask you to maybe step back a little, because I know you’re worried about your brother, I know you’re concerned about him, but attacking brooke and hope is not helping us.

Steffy: I’m not attacking brooke, I’m just telling the truth. All brooke’s history.

Brooke: Oh, my god. Here we go, dredging that up.

Ridge: What are you trying to accomplish with this now?

Steffy: I am just saying that all the chaos and the pain that brooke brought into your life, hope is doing the exact same thing to thomas. Hope is following in her mother’s footsteps, and I’m not going to allow it! It is unacceptable. It needs to end.

Hope: You cannot possibly believe that I wore your ring to be cruel. Thomas, cruelty would’ve been me accepting the proposal, knowing that I wasn’t ready for marriage.

Thomas: Why did you take the ring and wear it on your necklace?

Hope: Because I thought it was a nice gesture to have it close to my heart as I was deciding!

Thomas: Yeah, but you never really had any intention of marrying me from the start. See, when you put it on, I saw hope for our future.

Hope: Thomas, you asked me to wear your ring on my necklace. You were the one who put it there.

Thomas: Yes, because I expected you at some point to take it off and actually wear it on your finger. But, if you really wanted that from the start, you would’ve accepted it when I gave it to you.

Hope: Yeah, you’re really starting to sound like steffy.

Thomas: Maybe she’s right.

Hope: Oh, god. Can we just stop already, please? I love you.

Thomas: Yeah. You love me. Just not enough to marry me. And I can’t keep doing it, hope. It hurts too much to– to be built up and encouraged to having it all fall apart, okay? At some point, I have to take care of myself.

Hope: You don’t have to protect your heart from me, thomas. I didn’t get into this to hurt you. Or– or to feed my ego, or whatever other lies that steffy has been telling you. Thomas, I am just trying to think about us. About the kids. About our future. And I–

[ Sobs ] I haven’t always done that in the past, and that has caused a lot of pain, and I am just trying not to make that same mistake again. That is all.

Thomas: I have loved you. Wanted you. I would’ve loved you for the rest of my life and given you everything. But it’s too painful, hope. The back and forth is too painful. I still love you. I love you so much. But I can’t do it anymore. And that’s why I’m leaving today. Life, diabetes, there’s no slowing down.

Brooke: Your whole take on hope and thomas? It’s wrong, in this scenario that you’ve created in your head about how hope is a tramp and how she chews up men and spits ’em out, just like her mother.

Steffy: Where’s the lie?

[ Brooke sighs ]

Brooke: Hope’s reluctance to marry thomas doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him. But you know what? That’s not even the issue.

Steffy: Then what is it?

Brooke: How about all the things that thomas did to hope in the past? How about that?

Ridge: Wait, don’t do that. He’s not that man anymore.

Steffy: Even hope claims to believe that.

Brooke: Yes, she does believe it. She doesn’t lie. And she’s a kind person, and she doesn’t toy with people’s emotions.

Steffy: Okay. Yeah, I get it. You just think she’s perfect. But the irony in all this? You think that hope is too good for thomas? It’s actually the other way around. Thomas is too good for hope. I really hope I got through to him, and he’ll end it with her today.

Hope: Leaving? Today? But thomas, you can’T. What about douglas? We’re a family.

Thomas: Yeah. Douglas, we’ve– we’ve led him down a path, and he– [ Sighs ] He’s happy. He wants his parents to be married, but that’s not gonna happen. And so I have to find some way to break his fall.

Hope: Thomas, we can work through this together. What about hope for the future?

Thomas: I can’t work with you any longer, hope.

Hope: What?

Thomas: Like I said, I’m leaving. I think– I think I’m going to paris.

[ Hope scoffs ]

Hope: Paris? Uh… okay, um… well, if you– if you need to take some time and take a break, uh, you can go to paris. You can work at international. You can email me your sketches, thomas. You can’t just walk away. I know how much you love hope for the future.

Thomas: That’s not how this works, hope. I can’t be around you any longer. I can’t work for you. I can’t be near you. It hurts too much. I have to leave. You know, hopefully, maybe, there’s someone out there who can love me and actually love me as much as I love them.

[ Hope chuckles ]

Hope: Do you hear yourself talking right now? ‘Cause this is not you talking, thomas. I mean, someone else? You just proposed to me.

Thomas: And you turned me down, hope! Twice.

Hope: Because I still need time.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Thomas: You’re out of time, hope.

Hope: I thought we were a team.

Thomas: Not anymore. Steffy was right.

Hope: My god! I don’t wanna hear her name anymore! Thomas, how do you not get that she is the one behind all this?

Thomas: Steffy is not some puppet master controlling me. She pointed out something that is true. I need to be a man, have dignity and self-respect. The type of man that his son can follow and not be humiliated all the time.

Hope: I would never try to do that to you.

Thomas: I know. I know it’s not in your nature. I don’t– I don’t think you’re doing it on purpose. I think it’s– it’s just how it happens. I don’t know the reason for it. Maybe– maybe we just have too much to overcome. It’s just a losing battle. I don’t know what the reason is, but… I have to go, hope. And I want douglas with me.

Hope: Douglas? No. Thomas, you can’T. You can’t do that. I love you. You can’t just leave like this.

Thomas: You know… the most painful part of this whole thing has been… I love you. And I knew that you loved me the whole time. But you wouldn’t say it. And the first time that you actually told me you loved me is when you were rejecting me. Goodbye.

Hope: No. No, thomas, you can’t leave like this. Please. Please. Please. Look at me. Look at me, look at me. Hey, don’t do this to us. Please don’t to this to us.

Thomas: I love you, hope. I will always love you.

Hope: No. Thomas!

Steffy: You can do this, thomas. You can take douglas and you can leave. Get out of here. Make a life with your son. A good life. A happy life. You’re not gonna have that with hope. She doesn’t want that kind of future.

Thomas: Steff, I thought she did.

Steffy: Well, hope is extremely manipulative. She tries to make you believe that it’s gonna happen. It’s the constant push and pull. Like, who does that to someone they supposedly love? Thomas, she had to know it was gonna break your heart when you– when you proposed to her again and she turned you down. But she did it anyway. Why? Because she’s a logan. And that’s what they do. I mean, look at brooke. Look at the way she treated our father. All the pain and the chaos she brought into his life. And hope is doing the exact same thing to you. Where’s your pride? Where’s your dignity? Don’t let hope do this. You need to go. Go with douglas. Take your son and get away from hope. You’re just going to end up heartbroken again. Leave her once and for all.

Hope: I know you want to believe that steffy is only looking out for thomas, but I am telling you, ridge, there is more at play here. Steffy is using this situation–

Ridge: To what? So you two can start fighting again? Come on, man.

Hope: I get that you are her dad and you don’t want to see it, but steffy has been agitating from the sidelines ever since she found out about thomas and me.

Ridge: You know what I see? I see steffy is trying to protect her brother. She doesn’t want him to be hurt by you, which, to be fair, is exactly what happened.

Brooke: Hope didn’t intentionally set out to hurt thomas.

Ridge: I’m not saying she did it intentionally. I’m not saying that at all. I wanted this relationship. I wanted the two of you to find happiness together.

Hope: And I wanted it too. I still do. But to hear the way steffy talks about it, like I’m using him like thomas is just a plaything to me? It is insulting. It’s not only insulting to me, it’s insulting to thomas as well. Look, I– I get that you think part of steffy is doing this because she’s being a protective sister. Sure, that might be a part of it. But there is another part there as well, and that is because of past resentments.

Brooke: Okay, hold on–

Hope: No, mom, it is. We have a complicated history. I understand that. And that by getting involved with her brother, it wasn’t just gonna make it disappear. But I’m just not going to sit here and allow steffy to paint me as the bad guy because of past things that have happened between us, because of her insecurities. I’m not gonna have it, ridge. And so I’m going to call her on it. And I’m going to continue to call her on it because I am not steffy’s personal punching bag.

Ridge: Are you done? ‘Cause, uh, I would love to say something.

Hope: Okay, and now starts the defense of steffy. Let’s hear it.

Ridge: You knew it was coming. I mean, you’re attacking my daughter right in front of me, so you knew there was gonna be some pushback, right?

Hope: I was just hoping you might try to see the other side of things.

Ridge: I am seeing the other side of things. I listened to every word you said. And I get that you’re upset. I get it. But blaming steffy for that, that just doesn’t seem fair. I know you feel like you’re being attacked. What about thomas? How do you think he feels right now? That boy loves you.

Hope: I know.

Ridge: I know that because he tells you every five minutes. He tells me. It’s all he talks about. All he wants is to make you happy. All he wants to give you is a better life. He gave you a ring, which you accepted, by the way. But you didn’t wear it on your finger. You wore it around your neck, which is very strange.

Brooke: And hope told you why.

Ridge: She did tell me. And I get it. I– I do. I, uh, I understand. It just doesn’t change the fact that I’m hurting for my son because of what you put him through.

Hope: I have been honest with thomas from the start.

Ridge: Honesty is good. I like that. But have you been honest with yourself? What did you want out of this relationship? What did you want, really? And were you ever even remotely close to what you knew he wanted from it? You knew his intentions. He didn’t hide them from you. Well, what about you? That’s my question. What were your intentions? Because right now, I’m worried about that. I’m worried that you just thought this was some kind of diversion for you.

Hope: My gosh, this is not even remotely true.

Ridge: How do I– do you know that? I don’t know that at all. The only thing I know, hope, is that my son is in pain. And what, are you asking me to feel sorry for you? Because I can’T. I’m concerned about my boy because of what you did to his life.

Thomas: My whole life is here in L.A. And so is douglas’. I mean, to just pick up and leave?

Steffy: It’s not gonna be easy. I know that. But think about what life would be like if you stay here. Working next to hope. Being constantly reminded what could’ve been, but never will be because hope won’t let it.

Thomas: I, uh… I still love her, steff. So much.

Steffy: I know you do, thomas. As much as it hurts me to say this, hope’s just not gonna love you the way you love her. (Vo) compliments build confidence,

Brooke: Maybe we should just let thomas and hope work through this and not interfere.

Ridge: What– what are you asking me? You asking me not to defend my son?

Brooke: No. It’s just– the more people that are involved…

Ridge: It’s my son. This is your daughter. How are we not involved? We’ll always be involved.

Brooke: I know. And we will always love our children. It’s just…

Ridge: All right. I can’t be objective. Neither can you. But can we all agree on one thing? Thomas was all in from day one.

Hope: What, as if I don’t see that? As if it’s not one of the things that I love most about him, that I never have to question his devotion?

Ridge: But it’s not enough, is it? It was never enough. So, what’s holding you back? What is it?

Brooke: Have you not been listening, ridge? She’s just not ready to be his wife.

Ridge: Okay, maybe that’s it. Or maybe there’s something in his past that you can’t forgive. Is that it?

Brooke: Ridge–

Ridge: No, hang on, just talk to me for a second. No one’s yelling. We’re not fighting. I’m asking you, is there something he did that you can’t get past? Something you can’t forgive? Something that’s always gonna be between you?

Brooke: Oh, my god. I mean, can you really blame her after everything that he’s done to her?

Ridge: There she is. Didn’t you say that you thought thomas was getting better?

Brooke: Yeah, I– I do believe that. I do. But we’re talking about hope’s honest answer to thomas, and right now she said she can’t marry him. At least not now.

Ridge: Whatever. That’s my boy. He’s done everything he could. He’s done everything for you. He’s worked so hard on himself.

Hope: And I know that better than anyone. Ridge, I– I– I want, you know what? No. Our relationship is–

Ridge: Your what? Your relationship? I’m sorry, from what I’m hearing and seeing, there’s no relationship. There’s nothing left.

Hope: All right, I appreciate your concern. But this is my life. It’s my relationship, and like my mother said, we’re adults. So, we will handle this alone. Just between us. Without all the interference. And I get that you mean well. I can’t say the same for steffy. Because she is turning this into forresters versus logans. And she will do everything she can to get me out of her brother’s life.

Steffy: I know this is killing you, thomas. You had this vision of how things were gonna be. You and hope married. Raising douglas together. Hope loving you the way you love her. If you don’t wake up, if you don’t face the truth, it’s going to get worse. Hope is gonna continue to use you, and then she’s gonna drag douglas into this. And then he’s going to be disappointed all over again. Like, don’t do this. Don’t do that to that little boy.

Thomas: Steff, I don’t want that. Douglas has been through enough already.

Steffy: You have to protect him. You have to do what’s best for you and your son. So leave. Get out of town. Now. Thomas, look at me. Do you hear what I’m saying? Do you really understand?

Thomas: Douglas is always my number one priority. I hear you, steff. Skin-carving next level hydration?

Hope: I’m not sure when thomas will be back in the office, but once we get a chance to review your proposal, one of us will get back to you. All right.

Brooke: Is there a problem, honey?

Hope: Uh, no, I just– I need to talk to thomas. It’s something we’ve had in the works for hope for the future.

Ridge: Yeah, it’d be tough to talk to him, because he went home. He was upset by something.

Hope: Okay, I get that you blame me for what has happened, but can you just give thomas and me a chance to talk about it first, before–

Steffy: A chance to do what? A chance to get your way again? You only want thomas on your schedule. Your terms.

Hope: That is not true. And thomas knows that it’s not true.

Steffy: Oh, so you’re speaking for him now.

Hope: Only thomas and I know how we feel about each other.

Steffy: Oh, please.

Hope: I love him, steffy. And he loves me. And he wants me to be in his life.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m not so sure about that.

Hope: Okay, I am finished debating this with people who clearly have no understanding about what we share, so I’m going to talk to him myself.

Steffy: Good. He’s in the building. He’s actually in the design office.

Hope: Hm.

Steffy: I think he wants to talk to you too.

Hope: Stay out of my relationship with your brother.

Steffy: Ooh. I feel like she’s in for a rude awakening.

Thomas: Yeah, tell him I’ll explain when he gets here. Okay, thank you. Together, we can do anything.

Hope: Salute.

Steffy: I know you love her, thomas. But you need to cut her loose. And then end your relationship with hope once and for all.

Hope: Thomas, I feel terrible.

Thomas: You do?

Hope: I mean, of course I do. I also know that steffy’s talked to you. Please don’t listen to her. She’s trying to come between us. She’s playing that forrester versus logan card. Do not let steffy do it. ( )

Steffy: So the jet is fueled and ready to go if need be? Wonderful. Thanks so much.

Ridge: Didn’t know you had a trip coming up.

Steffy: Oh, no, I don’T. I just like to check in now and then. You never know when something unexpected might come up.

Brooke: What did you mean earlier when you said hope might be in for a rude awakening?

Steffy: Oh, it’s just– just a feeling.

Brooke: I know that you have thomas’ ear, steffy. You’ve been whispering things to him. Like, it’s time to leave hope.

Steffy: That’s odd. I thought you’d be happy about that. I mean, you’ve been against hope and thomas’ relationship from the very beginning.

Ridge: All right, that’S… she’s been working on it. She’s been coming around.

Brooke: I do see that thomas has made some strides. But this is hope’s decision whether or not she can have a life with thomas.

Steffy: Okay, but if hope truly loved thomas, then she would’ve accepted his proposal. Instead, she turned him down. Twice.

Brooke: Yes, and that is her decision, not yours.

Steffy: Okay, yeah. No, I– I get it. I get it. You’re her mom and you’re gonna support her. It’s what logans do. You guys gotta kind of circle the wagon to protect their own. I get it.

Brooke: Yeah, well, hope is a– a tough lady. You know, she can handle herself. She doesn’t need her mother. So, whatever she decides, she decides.

Steffy: Well, I don’t think hope and thomas are gonna get married, if that’s what you’re thinking. I think it’s over for them.

Brooke: And why do you say that? I mean, you sound so certain. You must know something. Whatever it is, I think we should let them work this out on their own. Otherwise, I feel like there’s some kind of vendetta you have against my daughter.

Hope: I know you love your sister. And she loves you. And she claims that she is trying to help you.

Thomas: Is that so wrong?

Hope: No. But when she’s trying to turn this into something it’s not, I mean, thomas, this isn’t– this isn’t about them. It’s not about steffy. It’s not about my mom. It’s not about my dad. It is about us. And there have been so many people opposed to our relationship in the past, and we haven’t let that stop us before, and so we shouldn’t let it stop us now.

Thomas: I proposed. Again. And you turned me down. Again.

Hope: That is… I thought I explained. It’s because I am not ready for that level of commitment yet, thomas. I am still trying to just–

Thomas: No, I understand. You’re trying to process your marriage with liam. And the divorce.

Hope: I’m also trying to be a good mom. I’m trying to focus on the kids. What’s best for them and their well-being. Thomas, they have been through so many huge adjustments in the past few months. I’m trying to be the best mother that I possibly can be. Thomas, just because I didn’t say yes to you doesn’t mean that I don’t want to spend every day with you. It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to see you. It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to laugh with you. It doesn’t mean that I don’t wanna make love to you. We have something special. You make me feel a way that I have never felt with any other man before, thomas. I feel valued. I feel appreciated. I feel seen. And that’s because of you. You know how you’re always saying that you’re a one-woman man? I understand that I am so lucky to be that woman. And in spite of– in spite of what steffy may think, please, thomas, please don’t let her undermine us. I love you. And I don’t wanna lose you.

Steffy: You are done messing with my brother.

Hope: That is not what this is.

Steffy: He proposed to you and you turned him down again.

Hope: Because I am not ready.

Steffy: So then let him go! Stop being so selfish.

Hope: Steffy, I’m not trying to break up with him. I just don’t wanna get married right now.

Steffy: You’re not serious about him. You never were. You never will be.

Hope: That is not true.

Steffy: Okay, what you have with thomas, it’s just physical. That’s all it is. It doesn’t go deeper than that.

Hope: Oh, my god. Steffy, stop, please. And besides, it’s none of your business.

Steffy: You just love being worshipped. You love all the praise and attention. You are exactly like your mom. Do you see it? Because I see all the patterns. I won’t let you undermine my brother’s integrity, okay? So back off. You stay away from thomas.

Thomas: I have never felt so blindsided. I had this wonderful evening planned. It was gonna be romantic and magical, and now it’s just… done.

Ridge: I’m sorry, son.

Thomas: I thought we would have a wonderful family together. That’s what I wanted. You know, her, me, beth, douglas. And then also, you know, here at work, excelling this line to new heights.

Ridge: Right. Let’s just make sure you don’t spiral because of this.

Thomas: Okay, I’m not spiraling. I just… I had the vision of a wonderful future, and I thought I could make her happy.

Ridge: I know. I’m here. Your family’s here. We’ll get you through this.

Thomas: Thanks.

Ridge: So, what are you thinking? You gonna take steffy’s advice? You gonna end things with hope?

Brooke: Oh, honey. How are you holding up?

Hope: Not great.

Brooke: Oh, sweetheart.

Hope: No, it’s fine. I mean, as if the situation with thomas wasn’t difficult enough already, steffy just came in here and tore into me, so…

Brooke: What? She has no right attacking you like that.

Hope: Mom, she thinks she’s looking out for her brother, acting like she’s his savior, when really she’s just making everything worse. And, you know, this is– she just always has to get involved, doesn’t she?

Brooke: Is there anything I can do?

Hope: No. I need to handle this on my own. I know thomas is upset, and I just need to try to get through to him to make him understand.

Ridge: Thomas went home. He’s devastated.

Thomas: I will always be here for you. As a designer, as your friend, as a father to our child. Whatever you need. We’re hope for the future now, and there can’t be one without the other. And I am just so, so grateful to be here in this magical city with you.

Thomas: Hope logan, will you marry me? You’re turning me down again.

Hope: And I’m trying to focus on myself and the kids and my career and– and my relationship to you. I love you. I just… I’m not– I’m not ready for a forever commitment. I’m sorry, but I can’t be your wife.

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Steffy: I know you’re hurting. And I’m always gonna be here for you, okay? I’m always gonna have your back. I promise.

[Coughing]

Hope: I hate that I disappointed thomas, and I don’t want this to be the end of our relationship.

Ridge: You can’t have been surprised that he proposed to you, right? You knew his intentions, you knew he wanted a family with you. You were wearing his ring around your neck.

Hope: But that was a compromise.

Brooke: It was thomas’s idea for her to put it on the necklace.

Hope: I was hesitant to even wear it in the first place. I was afraid of– that it might give the wrong impression that I was ready to be someone else’s wife again. But then the more we talked about it, the more I grew to love the idea of having that ring close to my heart. What it symbolized. Our exclusivity, the fact that I wasn’t interested in meeting other men then, and I’m still not interested in meeting other men now. And I know what he wants. I know that he wants me to put the ring on my finger. I just also thought that he understood where I was at, and– and that– that I just– I needed more time.

Ridge: But you also knew that you didn’t wanna marry him, so you should’ve made that more clear, no?

Brooke: She told him repeatedly that she wasn’t ready for the next step.

Hope: I never said never.

Ridge: Oh, so you’re keeping the door open?

Hope: No, I thought he understood where we were at. That– that– that I wasn’t exactly on the same page as him just yet, and that I needed more time, but clearly, I was wrong.

Brooke: He would’ve saved himself a lot of trouble if he had listened to her and realized that she still needed to heal.

Ridge: He did listen, and he thought you were ready. He was surprised you said no.

Brooke: Well, would it be better if she said yes when her heart’s not completely in it?

Ridge: No, that’s– no, that would be worse.

Hope: I’m sorry that I hurt your son. Ridge, I love him. And it kills me that he is upset right now.

Ridge: Upset? He’s heartbroken.

Steffy: I heard you left the office, so I came here to check on you.

Thomas: Yeah, I wouldn’t wanna hang out at forrester, you know? I might run into hope, and that might just be too painful.

Steffy: I know how much you care about hope. How you put your heart on the line.

Thomas: I think we could’ve had a wonderful family. I still don’t understand. I mean, all she said to me was that she was still processing her divorce.

Steffy: She asked for space and you gave it to her. Anything she’s ever wanted, you gave to her. You’re such an incredible boyfriend. You’re devoted and you’re faithful. Everything hope could ever want and dream of, it’s in you. Except she wouldn’t accept your proposal. For the second time.

Thomas: Maybe I should’ve just waited a little bit longer.

Steffy: Please don’t do that, please. Stop doubting yourself. This is all hope. She’s the one with the issues. She doesn’t appreciate you now, she’s never going to appreciate you, okay? What are you gonna do, spend the rest of your life wondering if you’re good enough? Come on. Don’t do this to yourself. You’re better than that. You are worthy. Thomas, you are fantastic. You’re a wonderful man. If your sister’s telling you that, I guess it’s true. You just gotta get out of this headspace, okay? You gotta release your emotions, get it out. And if you have to do it, I don’t know, just… punch a pillow. Or a punching bag. Cry it out, do whatever you need to do. But once you get it out, you need to end it with hope. Do it, thomas. End it with hope once and for all.

Hope: I understand you are concerned about thomas.

Ridge: Of course I’m concerned about him. That’s my son, that’s my boy. He’s worked really hard to get here. And now, to be rejected by– by the woman that he treasures more than anything else in the world? I don’t want this to be a setback for him.

Hope: It won’t be. Because he’s grown. He’s strong. And I have to believe that we’re going to make it through this. Although it would be a little easier maybe if people would just butt out. Like steffy, for one.

Brooke: Apparently she gave hope an earful before I walked in.

Hope: Yeah, it was more like she threatened me.

Brooke: We know that she told thomas to end things with you.

Hope: Yeah, she basically told me to stay away from her brother.

Brooke: She has no right to dictate your life.

Ridge: She’s probably just looking out for her brother, that’s all.

Hope: Oh, really?

Ridge: Yeah.

Hope: Well, then she could’ve maybe delivered it in a better way instead of tearing into me, calling me self-centered, saying that I was toying with her brother or using him for sex. Oh, yeah, and she brought my mom into it too and brought up her past.

Brooke: Oh, really? Well, that’s just too bad. I’m not surprised by that.

Ridge: All right, well, these families have been in a good place. Let’s not start a war.

Hope: Okay, well, then could you tell your daughter not to pour gasoline on the fire? I mean, it’s already a difficult enough situation as it is. I mean, what does she want me to do? Say yes and then change my mind further down the line? I mean, then hell really would break loose.

Brooke: You responded the way you should have. You did what was best for you and for thomas, honey. You can’t go into a marriage with all these doubts.

Hope: Exactly. So I wasn’t going to say yes unless I was 100% sure. And if steffy really cared about her brother, I would hope that she could understand that and just stay out of it.

Steffy: Hey. Thomas, hope is taking advantage of you. It’s really unfair. And it’s not healthy.

Thomas: I thought she loved me, steff.

Steffy: I know. I know that. But I hate to say it. You were just a rebound, thomas. She doesn’t love you the way you love her.

Thomas: Everything was so good. I thought I had given her enough time. I–

Steffy: No, thomas, please. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. Hope doesn’t know what real love is, okay? She just wants you to chase her. Like brooke.

Thomas: I– I just wanted to be engaged. You know, like, have some commitment for the future. I wasn’t expecting us to get married tomorrow. Though I– I probably would’ve gotten married tomorrow. I love her.

Steffy: Well, you’re a mature adult who knows what you want. Can’t say the same about hope. I mean, she’s been unraveling ever since the relationship has ended. Look, and it– it’s like she’s acting like a teenager with you. She seduces you and then pushes you away, and then seduces you and pushes you away. It’s all entertainment.

Thomas: I– I never thought of it that way.

Steffy: How many times are you gonna put your heart on the line, be completely open with hope, and then she just turns you down again? She rejects you. She says no. I mean, that is extremely hurtful. And really humiliating. Thomas, you do not deserve this. Any woman would be so lucky to be with you. Do you hear me? Anyone but hope. Are you tired of your hair breaking after

Hope: Steffy says that I have been playing games with thomas, that I have been leading him on.

Ridge: Seems fair. Are you?

Brooke: Ridge, come on.

Hope: Nothing could be further from the truth.

Brooke: She’s not that kind of woman. You know that.

Ridge: I’m not saying she’s that kind of woman, but something doesn’t seem right here. There’s just a disconnect between the two of you.

Brooke: It’s thomas not listening to hope and not respecting her timeline.

Ridge: Not what? Not respecting her timeline? I don’t even know what that means. All he does is respect her. And he did what he did because he thought it was time for that. Is he just misreading you? Misreads you every time he does it? Second time now. So what, your wires are crossed? You’re just not listening to each other? What is it? You’re from different planets?

Hope: Stop, ridge. We have a beautiful connection and I don’t expect everyone to understand it. But I do believe that we will work through this. We will overcome this. It just would help if we didn’t have people constantly interfering, like steffy. Ridge, she actually told me that she told thomas that– that she was going to make sure that he had nothing to do with me. Like it’s her mission in life now to make sure that I’m not a part of his life. Oh, and she was cruel about your past, mom. And she said that I have gone, uh, full logan.

Brooke: Oh, wow. Okay. I mean, she must be upset and clearly just lashing out.

Hope: I get that she thinks she’s just looking out for thomas, but this isn’t just about the proposal. It is much deeper.

Ridge: What do you mean?

Hope: Oh, ridge, I don’t think it is exactly a secret that I haven’t always been steffy’s favorite.

Ridge: Don’t do that. You guys always had problems with each other.

Hope: I’m sorry, ridge. But steffy looks for opportunities to tear me down, to– to belittle me, to criticize me. I am the last person on this earth that she wants her brother to be with, and both of you, you can’t deny that. She is trying to purposefully drive a wedge between thomas and me, and I will not allow it.

Steffy: Hope’s not worthy of you. You are too good for her. You’re a catch. And hope doesn’t even see it. I mean, like I said, you could have any woman in the world. Hope’s just toying with your emotions. She’s stringing you along. Aren’t you– aren’t you tired of it? Haven’t you had enough?

Thomas: Steff, I don’t– I don’t care what women I could or couldn’t be with. Like, I can’t imagine my life without hope.

Steffy: Yeah, but that’s because the wounds are raw right now. I know you’re strong. You can get through this. I mean, think about you and caroline. You created douglas and then you lost caroline, and that was extremely difficult for you. But you survived it. And hey, you’ll survive this too.

Thomas: Look, I would love to be with someone who wants me as much as I want them. And with hope, maybe that’s just not possible.

Steffy: Thomas, you shouldn’t settle for someone who doesn’t think you’re good enough. You need to find peace. Stop tormenting yourself. Hope isn’t it, okay? It’s not real. I mean, she wouldn’t even put your engagement ring on her finger.

Thomas: Steff, you’re talking about hope like she’s a person that she’s not. She’s not some stereotypical logan woman. She’s not her mom, all right? She’s not the spitting image of brooke. She’s different. She genuinely loves and cares for people, and I love her.

Steffy: I know you love her, thomas. But you need to cut her loose. I think you should take douglas and… leave town. Why don’t you get out of here? Go to paris. And then end your relationship with hope once and for all.

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: You told thomas to end things with me? Steffy, you had no right.

Steffy: To what? Defend thomas? Protect him? If thomas is hurting, I’m gonna go to battle for him every single time.

Hope: And I never meant to hurt him, steffy. I was trying to be honest with him. That I am not ready for another marriage.

Steffy: Okay, so you’re just toying with his emotions?

Hope: You know what I think would’ve hurt him more, steffy? Is if I had accepted his proposal and not meant it. Like, the fact that you think I’m toying with him by being honest with him–

Steffy: I do think you’re toying with his emotions, I just said that. You love the attention. You love the devotion.

Hope: That is not true.

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: I am showing your brother respect by being fully honest with him. And I would hope that you would maybe appreciate the self-awareness to know that I am not yet ready for that level of commitment.

Steffy: Yeah, no, I don’t think you’re self-aware to realize that you are using him. You don’t love thomas. You never have.

Thomas: Hope didn’t accept my proposal. Am I a fool, brooke? Tell me the truth. You know your daughter the best, so… how does she really feel about me?

[ Door opens ]

Ridge: Oh, hey. What’s going on? Thomas? You all right?

Carter: You know, I gotta say, man. It feels good being here not worrying about sheila anymore.

Liam: It does. It does. Now, we get to worry about thomas instead.

Carter: You’re really concerned, aren’t you? That if hope can’t commit to thomas that he’ll, what, he’ll– he’ll lose it again?

Liam: I mean, look, I can– I can admit– I can admit that I’ve seen some apparent change in thomas. Fine. I guess. But this is– this is what he does.

Carter: Liam, liam, liam, I work with the guy every day.

Liam: I know.

Carter: There is no doubt he’s a different man than the guy he was before, all right? But you– you do– okay, you have a point. A small point, but you have a point. He is with hope now and if things end badly, how is–

Liam: How is he gonna react? Exactly. Now, I don’t wanna think the worst… actually, I do– I do wanna think the worst because I think we have very good reasons to.

Ridge: So, who’s gonna fill me in? It’s obvious something’s going on here.

Brooke: Thomas is wondering what I think about my daughter’s feelings for him.

Ridge: What you think? What do you– why do you need to know what she thinks? You know what you think. I mean, you guys have been closer than ever.

Thomas: Yeah, I was wondering if we have a future together. Dad, I, um, I proposed to hope again. And I knew that she loved me and she finally said so. I love her and she said she never wanted what we had to end. However, she turned me down again.

Steffy: I can see what you’re doing, hope.

Hope: No, you don’t know how I feel. Or what thomas means to me.

Steffy: Okay, I know you refuse to accept thomas’s proposal. I know that you’re playing with his emotions even though he has struggled in the past. He was obsessed with you, hope. But you don’t seem to care now. Do you realize how selfish that is? How heartless? Huh. Well, I think I got through to thomas, so…

Hope: Hm. And you really think what’s best for him is to end our relationship?

Steffy: I do. Once and for all. (Ethan) I remember seeing the menthol cigarette ads

Ridge: Ah, thomas, I’m so sorry. I can see how disappointed you are.

Thomas: Disappointed, stunned, and I thought we were on the same page.

Brooke: I know how you feel about this, thomas. I know you’re upset, but hope is upset too. She doesn’t want to hurt you.

Thomas: You never answered my question. How does she really feel about me, brooke? I mean, look, I– I thought I knew. I thought what she was saying was true, but now I don’t know anything. I feel– I’m second-guessing everything. I feel like maybe I’ve been deluding myself. Steffy definitely thinks so.

Ridge: Steffy?

Thomas: Yeah, I told her what happened.

Ridge: Well, she must have some good advice for you.

Thomas: She told me to move on with my life, without hope.

Liam: Well, look, as much as thomas may have changed, maybe, it’s still– old habits are easy to fall back on, right? Especially in moments of distress, moments of pain, right? And if hope eventually does reject him, I just– all I’m saying is it could get ugly, and it would get ugly fast.

Carter: Given his past, I can’t say I disagree.

Liam: Thank you. I just don’t understand why she would put herself in this position in the first place.

Carter: It would all be healthier if hope stayed away, not risking thomas backsliding. And I– I get why steffy is concerned he might be set up for another fall. I mean, it’s weird, right? It’s weird that hope is wearing his ring on her necklace and not her finger, and that’s gotta be eating away at the guy. Iam: Thank god it’s not on her finger.

Carter: It can’t be on her necklace forever. She’ll eventually have to either accept his proposal or turn him down, and you seem pretty convinced it’ll be the latter.

Liam: Because it has to be. Because the former is– is a non-starter. And that’s true even if it ends up ticking steffy off a bit.

Carter: Ticking steffy off? I didn’t get the impression she wants them together.

Liam: It’s not the she wants them together. I just think that she would prefer that over hope breaking thomas’ heart again. Look, it’s weird, okay? Hope is in this, like, weird position where– well, she can’t marry him. That would be a disaster. She also can’t turn him down because that too would be a disaster, right? It risks setting him off. Making him, you know, fly off the handle again. But more than that, it risks steffy and her wrath. And, you know, nobody wants to make an enemy out of steffy.

Hope: You would really do that? You’d tell your brother to give up on me?

Steffy: Oh, I did. For his own self-respect, sanity, and dignity.

Hope: Steffy, we have been good for each other.

Steffy: Yeah, you see, that’s that selfish side kicking in. This has been good for you, hope. Your relationship has been completely one-sided.

Hope: Well, that would be your interpretation, and you would be wrong. Thomas does not feel that way.

Steffy: Okay, you know what thomas struggled with in the past. What he had to overcome. Like any normal person in this situation, they would’ve run away. They would have put up firm boundaries the moment thomas expressed interest again. But not you. No, you wanna continue to lead him on.

Hope: That is not true. I’m not leading him on.

Steffy: Okay, that’s what you think. But I know thomas is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. He finally sees you for who you truly are. Someone who’s never gonna commit. You’re never going to give him what he wants. You’re just going to take and take and take. And when you’re finally done with him, you’re going to walk away. And you’re going to leave him to pick up the pieces.

Hope: You know, steffy, I wouldn’t fool yourself. You know nothing of my relationship with thomas. We make each other better people. We make each other laugh. He is one of my best friends, steffy.

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: You really don’t care about him at all, do you? Wow. Look, your brother has grown and has proven himself to be someone I can count on. He’s someone that cares about me.

Steffy: Not anymore. (Vo) wish you knew how your cat was feeling?

Carter: Thank you. And could I have another? Thank you. Liam, worrying doesn’t help. Okay, so either hope is going to accept thomas’s proposal or not, but ultimately–

Liam: She can’t do it. She can’t do it. There’s just too much at stake. Including steffy.

Carter: Who wants to protect her brother from getting hurt if hope were to–

Liam: It’s not just– it’s not… it’s protection, yes, it’s not just protection. Steffy is like fiercely determined to keep thomas from backsliding, and this is the kind of thing that could do that.

Carter: And like you said, hope better watch out. You don’t wanna be on steffy’s bad side.

Brooke: Steffy told you to walk away from my daughter?

Thomas: More like run.

Ridge: Well, she was being protective, right? It’s your little sister. And she, um, she can see how upset you are. We can all see it.

Brooke: Yes, and we feel terrible about that. But if hope isn’t ready to make a commitment, would you really want her to accept your proposal?

Ridge: Can I have a moment alone with my son, please? Is that alright?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. Of course. I’m sorry, thomas, really. I really am. I don’t know what to tell you about my daughter.

Ridge: Sorry, son. I hate this. I hate seeing you confused like this.

Thomas: Maybe I’m not confused. Maybe steffy’s right.

Steffy: Thomas heard me. He really heard me.

Hope: And then I’ll make sure he hears me too.

Steffy: Yeah, I think he’s done with you.

Hope: Just because I didn’t accept the proposal doesn’t just mean our relationship is over.

Steffy: Do you hear yourself right now? This relationship, or whatever you want to call it, is entirely on your terms.

Hope: That isn’t fair.

Steffy: What you’re doing to thomas isn’t fair. You’re acting like it’s some kind of game.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Steffy, do you really have to butt into everything?

Steffy: Well, that’s what I do.

Hope: Did you forget that, like, I was just married? And maybe walking down the aisle isn’t exactly on the top of my priority list right now?

Steffy: That and neither is thomas. Will he ever be? You’re not capable of considering his needs. You’re not putting him first. This relationship, it needs to be over. It shouldn’t have even started in the first place. Now he needs to be with a woman who truly loves–

Hope: I love him. I do. And we share a son. And that alone should be enough for you to back off. How dare you? How dare you interfere?

Hey! Asthma’s

got you going through it?

Carter: I should head back to the office.

Liam: Yeah, me too.

Carter: Thanks for lunch, man.

Liam: Thanks for letting me, uh, kvetch at you.

Carter: Well, people say I’m a decent listener.

Liam: You are. You– you– you are a– a decent listener. Uh, speaking of, I know ridge is your best friend. You’re not gonna– you’re not gonna go back to the office– like, you’re not gonna tell him everything I just said, are you?

Carter: I’m not a gossip.

Liam: Oh, thank god.

Carter: And I think you have a right to be concerned. And I think steffy has a good reason to be too. Nobody wants a jilted thomas.

Liam: Jilted thomas is coming. And probably sooner than later. And, you know, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope steffy just takes charge and– and reins him in. I mean, that’s kind of what steffy does. She’s a fascinating woman, but she’s also an intense woman. And if she walks into a room, she… takes command of it. Expertly. Beautifully even.

Carter: Yeah, she’s very commanding. She’s also very married.

Ridge: Sorry, son. I know how much you wanted a life with hope. It’s all you’ve been talking about. And brooke and I were just talking about the same thing, how the two of you, you could lead this family, you could lead this company. And I– I’ve wanted that all along. I want a life with hope. I want a family with her. I wanna excel here at work together and that’s what I thought we were going to do, but… she just won’T. She won’t accept my proposal. She won’t be my wife.

Ridge: Maybe she needs more time.

Thomas: Yeah… I don’t know. Steffy has been telling me for a long time. Hope doesn’t wanna commit to me. She’s never going to. She’s just playing with my feelings, I mean… has steffy been right all along?

Hope: Why must you insist on interfering?

Steffy: His mental health? His well-being? I mean, gee, I wonder.

Hope: Okay, well, thomas has been doing better than ever, and you know that. So, how about you just leave us alone and let us live our lives?

Steffy: His well-being, hope, I was just with thomas. He’s devastated. I’m not going to sit back and watch you use him.

Hope: You clearly have no understanding about what we share, because if you did, you would not be doing this right now. I care about him.

Steffy: You really care about him?

Hope: Yes, I do.

Steffy: Well, if you do, then leave him. Stop stringing him along.

Hope: That is not what I am doing.

Steffy: You are using him. You’re, like, using him like some kind of disgusting sex toy, it’s gross.

Hope: Oh, my god, that is not what we share.

Steffy: Thomas loves you.

Hope: And I love him.

Steffy: He is completely devoted to you, hope. And you’re not giving him anything in return. You just expect that thomas should always be there for you. Don’t you see how cruel this is? You are taking thomas for granted. He’s put his heart out on the line. Gosh, he’s asked you to marry him, and you just keep turning him down. It’s sad.

Hope: I said no to marriage. I did not say no to him. Thomas, douglas, beth and I, we are a family, and nothing is going to change that.

Steffy: I’m well aware. Which makes the situation even more unforgivable. God. It really happened. You have gone full logan. You are exactly like brooke. Selfish. You’re self-centered. You’re throwing yourself at a forrester. You don’t care about tearing a family apart. You don’t care about hurting people. Well, I’m not going to let that happen anymore. If thomas hasn’t decided to end things with you, I’m gonna make sure he does. You are done using and abusing my brother. Do you hear me? Those days are over. It’s over, hope.

Announcer: Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Steffy: Thomas, you do not deserve this.

Hope: She is trying to drive a wedge between thomas and me and I will not allow it.

Steffy: You hurt my brother. It’s the same way your mother did with my father, my grandfather.

Hope: How dare you?

Steffy: Don’t even try it.

Steffy: Hope said no to you, now it’s your turn to say no to her, do you hear me?

Thomas: I planned a speech. I planned everything. I made a dress for her. She had the ring.

Steffy: A ring that she’s been wearing as a necklace, thomas. She didn’t even put it on her finger, that’s not right.

Thomas: Steffy, I love her. I love her so much. And I know she loves me. Why won’t she accept my proposal? Why won’t she just commit to me?

Thomas: I want the world to see us walking into the future together, hand in hand, side by side. All you have to do is say you’ll marry me.

Hope: I’m not ready for a forever commitment. I’m sorry, but I can’t be. I’m sorry.

Thomas: No.

Hope: I’m sorry, thomas, wait.

[ Door closes ]

Brooke: Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you. Wow, what is all this? Honey, what’s wrong?

> Liam: Without the beef, that’s all right. Thanks. Carter, here.

Carter: Hey.

Liam: Hey, what are you doing? You meeting somebody?

Carter: I’m having some lunch.

Liam: Okay, well then have lunch with me.

Carter: Okay. Okay, thanks man. You know, it’s a lot easier coming here now that sheila’s gone?

Liam: I was just saying the same thing. Fortunately, you know who it’s not easier for? Steffy. The sheila nightmare is all still happening for her.

Liam: Steffy’s a good person. Right? I mean, she was traumatized by what she did.

Carter: It was self-defense.

Liam: Yes, it was self-defense, but that’s the thing, justified or not, she still took a life and, you know, for her, that’S… I’m just– I’m concerned about her well-being.

Carter: Yeah, well, her family’s looking out for her.

Liam: Yeah, so am I, so is everyone, but, you know, steffy’s also gotta be looking out for herself, and that’s just not where her head’s at. Like, I was– I saw her earlier, and you know what she’s most concerned about? Thomas. Because of hope.

Hope: I– I, um. I don’t want anyone to see me like this.

Brooke: What’s going on, sweetheart? Why are you crying?

Hope: I can’T…

Brooke: What? What happened?

Hope: It’s thomas.

Brooke: He was here?

Hope: And he just– he ran off before he– he let me explain.

Brooke: So you got in a fight?

Hope: No, mom. He proposed again.

Brooke: And you didn’t accept?

Hope: I just– I’m– I’m not– I’m not ready.

Thomas: I just don’t understand. What did I do wrong?

Steffy: Thomas, you did nothing wrong. This is all hope’s doing.

Thomas: I just can’t believe she rejected me again.

Steffy: Well, I hate to say it, but I’m not surprised. Look, I– I know that you love her, I do, and that comes from a good place, but it is not gonna get you anywhere. All it’s gonna do is cause you pain and frustration. She has let you down so many times. I mean, come on, enough is enough. You need to end your relationship with hope.

Carter: Steffy’s always been protective of her brother.

Liam: Yeah, whether thomas deserves it or not.

Carter: So steffy’s concerned about thomas’ relationship with hope.

Liam: Mm-hmm. You know why? Because she thinks hope is leading him on.

Carter: Well, I have seen hope wearing the engagement ring on a necklace, not her finger.

Liam: Yeah, thank god.

Carter: Sounds like you have some concerns of your own.

Liam: Yeah, but it’s me. I’m biased, right? And I’ve always thought that relationship was doomed to fail. I just, uh, err on the side of worrying thomas is gonna hurt hope, not vice versa.

Carter: Well, it’s good to see you’re not broken up about her not accepting the proposal.

Liam: Can you tell? Can you tell? Listen, I know, I– I get that you have a different relationship with thomas than I do. I just don’t trust him.

Carter: But you said that steffy thinks hope’s the problem.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. Yeah, no she does, because, uh, she thinks that hope is gonna break his fragile little heart.

Hope: He couldn’t even look at me, mom. I hurt him so much.

Brooke: And I’m sure you feel awful about that, honey. But like you said, you are not ready to make this kind of commitment.

Hope: I– I know, and I’ve told thomas that, and I thought he understood. I mean, he– he said that he wasn’t in any rush.

Brooke: Well, what changed? Did he get the wrong idea?

Hope: I don’t– I don’t know. I mean, we’ve always been, you know, sharing our feelings. We’ve been open and honest from the start.

Brooke: Honey, there is no reason for you to rush into a marriage. Especially considering the way your marriage ended with liam. Honey, you need to think about that. You need to think about yourself and your children. There’s a lot to consider here.

Hope: I know that, mom. But you should’ve seen the look on his face. He was heartbroken. And I did that. I caused that pain. And I can’t even imagine what he’s feeling right now.

Steffy: Hope’s been using you, thomas. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but it’s true. All hope does is break your heart over and over again. She won’t wear your ring. She won’t accept your proposal. She doesn’t wanna have a future with you. And all you’re asking for is a promise. A promise that hope would commit herself to you. But she won’T. She’s not gonna do it.

Thomas: I should’ve done what I said I would do, which is give her more time.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Stop this, okay? Hope is the problem. Waiting around is not gonna solve it. That’s what she wants you to do. It’s like some kind of game.

Thomas: There’s no game, steff.

Steffy: No, not to you. You actually want a future with her. You want a family. But she doesn’t want that. You need to get it through your head. She’s just stringing you along. I mean, thomas, come on. You know that. Oh, god, I’ve like said this so many times and you didn’t wanna hear it. Hope didn’t want to hear it. You just gotta think about yourself right now. You really need to think about your sanity. You need to leave hope. Okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Carter: See, I thought everyone was more positive about hope and thomas these days.

Liam: Who are you talking about? Wait, so we got ridge, and we got–

Carter: Clearly not you or steffy, that’s for sure.

Liam: Yeah, clearly not, not when it comes to this.

Carter: Liam, hope and thomas, they’ve been seeing each other for a while now. They seem happy.

Liam: Okay, all right. What happens when it all goes wrong?

Carter: Is that what steffy’s worried about? That hope’s gonna break it off with thomas?

Liam: Yeah, well that’s what she’s worried about and then what I’m worried about is how thomas is gonna react when she does.

Carter: Okay, all right. That’s something to consider given thomas’ past, okay.

Liam: Thank you. I– right. But steffy’s still focused on the hope part. She thinks that hope isn’t really in love with him.

Carter: And you don’t either.

Liam: Every time you bring him up to hope, she gets all like, she gets all defensive and she’s like, “you don’t know what we have and you don’t understand the situation.” I’m just saying like, okay, if she were really head over heels for the guy, would she be doing that? I don’t think so.

Carter: So you’re saying that hope is setting thomas up for another huge disappointment.

Hope: I feel terrible, mom. I mean, things have been going so well. We’ve been so happy.

Brooke: So thomas wants to take the next step and you’re not quite there.

Hope: I tried to explain it to him, but he was so hurt and he was in so much pain and I just couldn’t get through to him. And I just feel like I just ruined everything.

Brooke: Honey, stop. You can’t think that way. What are you doing? You are a kind, compassionate woman. But sometimes, you need to look out for yourself. What’s good for your heart? You can’t just go into a marriage. If that’s not what you truly want.

Hope: I want thomas, mom. I want our relationship. I want thomas to know that I’m so grateful for him and I want him to understand that I love him. I love him, mom. I love him.

Steffy: You can’t be there for hope anymore. You need to cut her out of your life.

Thomas: You don’t know what you’re asking of me.

Steffy: I’m telling you to save yourself, thomas.

Thomas: Steff, I really thought she was gonna say yes.

Steffy: I know this is really painful for you, okay? I know that you’re devastated. But you need to think about douglas. You can’t have him keep watching you get burned by hope.

Thomas: Okay, but I am– I’m not going to hide my feelings from my son.

Steffy: Okay, okay. If douglas was in a situation like this, he was involved with a girl treating him the exact same way hope is treating you, what would you tell him? You would want him to protect himself. Show him that. Think about your pride and your dignity. I mean, thomas, this situation is really wearing you out. I mean, you are in a toxic relationship. And this toxicity, it may resurrect your demons. I don’t want that for you. You’ve worked so hard on yourself, okay? You’ve changed. Everything that’s going on with hope, it’s not worth it. She’s not worth it. Today proves that. I want you to be happy. Just not with hope. I mean, you could be with any other woman in the world. You deserve that. You deserve to be happy. Good food tastes better with a dollop of daisy

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: You and me, together. I wanna spend the rest of our lives with each other. Say you’ll be my wife.

Hope: I love you. I really do. But I– I can’t accept your proposal, I’m– I’m not ready.

Steffy: She has let you down so many times. I mean, come on, enough is enough. You need to end your relationship with hope.

Brooke: Thomas.

Thomas: Is that for me?

Brooke: Uh, no, actually, I didn’t know you’d be here. I saw hope in the salon. You proposed again.

Thomas: I really don’t wanna talk about it. I’m trying to work.

Brooke: I’m not here to make you feel worse. Really, I can see how heartbroken you are. My daughter is too. Thomas, she didn’t mean to hurt you. And she didn’t wanna reject you.

Thomas: She said no.

Brooke: But you can understand why. She did try to explain.

Thomas: She’s been wearing my ring. I get it. She’s been wearing it on a necklace, I know. But she’s been wearing it. She could have just said no. She could’ve rejected it. She could’ve given it back to me, but she didn’T. She kept wearing it. And ever since then, we have only gotten closer and closer. And the other night, she told me that she never, ever wanted what we found in rome to end. I really thought she’d say yes. I thought she’d accept my proposal, I… have I just been a fool, brooke? Tell me the truth. Does hope really love me?

Steffy: Sometimes, I just hate being right.

Hope: You know.

Steffy: Oh, that thomas’ heart was broken? Yes, I know.

Hope: Steffy, I never meant to hurt your brother.

Steffy: I knew this was gonna happen, I knew it. And here we are.

Hope: Steffy, I’m just not ready for that level of commitment.

Steffy: Oh, I know that. But the only person who doesn’t know that is thomas. God, you gotta stop with this game. Thomas has loved you for so long, so much so that he almost messed up his life. But he’s fought back. He’s turned his life around.

Hope: I know that, steffy. That’s why it’s different this time. That’s why I love him.

Steffy: Oh, you do not love him.

Hope: Yes, I do.

Steffy: He professed his love to you. He said that you are the only woman in the world. He wants to be with you, so what’s the problem?

Hope: I know what he means to me, and I know that I can count on him.

Steffy: Not anymore. I think I got through to him.

Hope: What did you do?

Steffy: I told him the truth. That you’re never gonna accept the proposal. And that you’re just using him. You’re just toying with his emotions. So, I told thomas to stand up and tell you he is done with you. He’s ending his relationship with you once and for all.

[ Sentimental music ]

Thomas: Marry me, hope. I have loved you for as long as I can remember. I promise to you that I will be a wonderful husband and a father, a great father. Say you’ll marry me, hope. Say you’ll be my wife.

Steffy: Yep. Yeah, that’s great. Okay, well send me a list of your preferred photographers and we’ll get back to you. All right. Thank you so much, marianne. All right, bye. Liam, what brings you here?

Liam: Uh, I was gonna come up with an excuse, like I’m dropping something off for kelly, but truth is, I just, uh, I know you’ve got a lot going on and um, I’m a bit concerned. I mean, what happened to sheila is one thing, but especially finn’s reaction to her death.

Finn: Hey, I’m sorry luna’s upset with you. I mean, I know you guys are so close. To be honest, you’re more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Poppy: I know, but with this, she doesn’t want to talk to me. She wants to talk to her dad.

Finn: And that has something to do with me?

Luna: I’m sorry.

Bill: Why? You have nothing to apologize for.

Luna: I don’t know, because I’m all emotional in front of you and you barely even know me.

Bill: Well, I’d like to get to know you better. I’m not your father. But, I could be a shoulder for you to cry on. Or maybe cry over, because I do kinda like this shirt. I don’t want you to ruin it. You can talk to me, luna.

Finn: I mean, you and luna are family. If you guys are having any kind of trouble, I want to help fix it any way I can. I’m just– I’m just not seeing what I can do, exactly.

Poppy: You can give luna what she’s looking for. What she wants more than anything. Talk to her, finn.

Luna: You’re being really nice.

Bill: Do me a favor, keep that to yourself. I have a reputation to uphold.

Luna: Don’t worry, I’m not gonna tell anyone how nice you are about listening to my problems.

Bill: It doesn’t cost me a thing. And who knows, I mean, maybe i can offer you some actual help. Or at least a little guidance.

Luna: It’s just been really frustrating. You know, because all my life, my mom has been like my best friend. Someone that I can confide in, someone that I can talk to about literally anything. Um, but now…

Bill: You wish you had your father to turn to.

Luna: Yeah, but my mom won’t tell me who he is.

Steffy: I appreciate your concern.

Liam: But you’re about to tell me there’s no reason to be.

Steffy: There isn’T. Not in the long run. Sheila’s death has presented a bit of a problem, but we’re gonna get through it. My relationship is fine with finn. I’m not worried about us. I’m worried about thomas.

Liam: What’s wrong with thomas?

Steffy: What do you think? Hope. Hope is wearing thomas’ engagement ring on a chain around her neck. I mean, that is ridiculous. You know she doesn’t really love him. She’s just leading him on. She’s never gonna truly commit herself to him.

Thomas: I designed that dress for what I hope will be one of the most important occasions of our lives. And you look more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagined. By the way, I love you so much. And I know I’ve said that a thousand times, but I… it couldn’t hurt to say it one more, right? I do. I love you. Now, this ring has been around your neck for, I think, long enough. It deserves to be on your hand. I want the world to see us walking into the future together, hand in hand, side by side. All you have to do is say you’ll marry me.

Finn: You want me to talk to luna?

Poppy: Yes.

Finn: Sure, I’m more than happy to spend time with her. But if the person she wants to talk to is her dad… and look, I don’t mean to pry, but do you– do you know– do you know who luna’s father is?

Luna: What do you think, bill? I mean, don’t you think I have the right to know who my father is?

Bill: What I think doesn’t matter. This is between you and your mom. But I was curious enough to ask poppy if it was me. The timing works. The night we spent together at the festival. And when you were born.

Luna: She said it wasn’T.

Bill: Right.

Luna: God. This is just so unfair. You know, whoever he is, I’m his daughter. You know, I feel like we deserve to know each other. My mom was just wrong for keeping us apart.

Bill: Did you ever think that maybe poppy knows something that you don’t?

Luna: What, like you mean like he’s a bad person?

Bill: Not necessarily that. Look, this is what I know. Your mom loves you more than anything. I’m sure she has your best interests at heart.

Steffy: I want thomas to be happy. I want him to find peace, love, family, but hope is stringing him along.

Liam: Well, I want hope to not be with thomas at all, so there’s that. Eh, maybe if I handled things differently.

Steffy: What are you talking about? Please, hope always acts like she’s the victim here, lamenting the end of your marriage when she was the one who kissed thomas in rome. She’s not so innocent.

Liam: Thank you for acknowledging that. Not many people do.

Steffy: No, I’m just losing patience here. She already messed with your emotions, now she’s doing the exact same thing to thomas. She’s leading him on. Making him believe there’s a chance that she’s gonna marry him.

Thomas: We have wasted enough time, hope. I wanna be a family. You, me, douglas and beth, so say you’ll marry me. This is a make it, break it moment. You and me, together. I want to spend the rest of our lives with each other. Say you’ll be my wife.

Hope: I love you. Thomas, I– I really do. But I… I can’t accept your proposal. I’m– I’m not ready. Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Poppy: If I told you that luna was conceived in love, would that answer your question?

Finn: I mean, I just– I don’t get it. You had to have known the day would eventually come when luna would want to know who her father is, so why not just let it happen?

Poppy: Because it’s always just been luna and me. The two of us were always enough.

Finn: Maybe for you, but I could see a world where luna wouldn’t wanna upset you by admitting that she– that she did need him.

Poppy: What she needs is a strong male presence in her life. She loves you, finn, and she looks up to you, and you could easily fill those shoes. Please, will you do it? Will you be that male presence in my daughter’s life?

Luna: I’m sorry. You– you came here to see my mom and instead you got me crying over a father that I’ve never known.

Bill: I don’t mind. I kind of like being someone you can trust with your feelings.

Luna: You know, you have really kind eyes. It’s probably the first thing my mom saw when she first met you all those years ago. My mom always says that the, uh, the eyes are the window to the soul.

Bill: I don’t know that my eyes have always revealed the best part of me. But they did that night that I first looked at your mom. And maybe that’s why she returned the favor. You know, she hasn’t changed. I mean, she’s still that same take me or leave me breath of fresh air. And– and I’m– I’m pretty guarded with women at this point in my life.

Luna: Why’s that?

Bill: Money. I have it and a lot of women want it.

Luna: Well, my mom doesn’t really care about money.

Bill: Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I’m so drawn to her. Your mom is an incredible woman and she has raised an equally remarkable daughter.

Steffy: Hope has been out of control since she broke up with you. Now, she’s laser focused on thomas and thomas believes that they actually have a future together. I don’t believe that. I think he is in for a world of hurt.

Liam: Or she is, or they both are, I– whatever. I think we can both agree that hope and thomas is a toxic combination.

Hope: Thomas, I’m sorry. The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you and I can tell that I have.

Thomas: You’re turning me down again.

Hope: Again, please understand. It has nothing to do with you. You, you’re amazing. And you’re wonderful and the time that we share together, it brings me so much joy and happiness. And I know– I know that you love me unconditionally and it means the world. But I just got out of a marriage. And I’m trying to focus on myself and the kids and my career and– and my relationship to you. Thomas, I love you. I love you. I just– I’m not– I’m not ready for a forever commitment. I’m sorry, but I can’t be. I’m sorry.

Thomas: No.

Hope: I’m sorry, thomas, wait!

If you have chronic

kidney disease you can reduce

Finn: You don’t even have to ask. Of course, I’ll be there for luna, anytime she needs me. And even when she thinks she doesn’T.

Poppy: Thank you. No, really, that means a lot. Thank you.

Finn: No, and hey, I mean, you looked after me when I was her age. All the time we spent together, how close we became.

Poppy: Yeah, and look at us now, all these years later. You’re a brilliant doctor with a beautiful family and I have a grown up daughter with a mind of her own. And I miss the days when luna would take her lead from me.

Finn: You said that she’s always been curious about her father.

Poppy: Yeah, but I’ve always been able to steer her off that path. But, I don’t know, this time– this time feels different.

Finn: You know what, I think, just go with it. Respectfully, as luna’s cousin, I think it’s time that she finds out who her father really is.

Bill: When you find your dad, and I believe that one day you will, he’s going to be so happy and proud to call you his daughter. What? What– what– what did I say? I don’t want to upset you. You see, I’m– I’m just so clumsy.

Luna: No, no, no, you didn’t upset me. I mean, you did, but in a good way. Because you’re so kind and caring, and obviously I’m an emotional wreck right now, so…

Bill: Tell me what I can do. How can I help you without stepping on poppy’s toes?

Luna: I don’t know.

Bill: Well, if you think of something, don’t hesitate.

Luna: I really like you, bill. I mean, what if you were my father?

Bill: Well, among other things, you would be filthy rich.

Luna: Well, I’m kind of like my mom in that way. I don’t really care about money, so…

Bill: Ah, well, there you have it. You’re not my daughter.

Steffy: Thomas, what is it? What’s wrong?

Thomas: I– I don’t know. I was just– I was so excited. I was– I was so ready, I… knew what I wanted, and it didn’t happen.

Steffy: What didn’t?

Thomas: I’m such an idiot. I, uh, I asked hope to marry me again.

Steffy: And she turned you down again. Oh, god. I knew this was gonna happen, thomas. You don’t deserve any of this. I mean, she is bad news.

Thomas: I don’t get it. I don’t understand what I did wrong. Like, I– I gave her the ring. She’s– she’s been wearing it.

Steffy: She’s been wearing it as a necklace, thomas.

Thomas: I offered it to her and she didn’t refuse it. There was a potential for a future. She didn’t just reject it or something.

Steffy: Okay, thomas, thomas, this really has to stop, okay? You’re setting yourself up for heartbreak over and over again. Hope is never gonna give you what you want.

Thomas: Don’t say that.

Steffy: It’s true. And what she did just proves it. She claims to love you, but she’s never going to commit herself to you. So you need to let her go, okay? You need to move forward. Focus on the future without hope.

Luna: My mom doesn’t understand how hard it’s been. I mean, my whole life, not knowing who my father is. I just– I’m so sorry you came here looking for her and you got all this.

Bill: No, no, no, it’s okay. I– I just hate seeing you so upset.

Luna: We never fight. Never. But I just– I couldn’t pretend like it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Bill: Your mom loves you. You’re gonna work this out.

Luna: I just wish I could talk to my father.

Poppy: Finn.

Finn: Hey, aunt poppy.

Poppy: Hi.

Finn: I– come in, I… it’s all right. I didn’t know you were coming by.

Poppy: Oh. You didn’t get my text?

Finn: Uh, no, I went out for a surf. I haven’t checked my phone. Damn. It’s good to see you.

Poppy: Yeah, it’s great to see you. Did you catch any waves?

Finn: Uh, yeah, yeah. I was just, um, yeah, just trying to– trying to clear my head.

Poppy: Yeah, I can’t imagine. I’m sorry.

Finn: If you’re looking for my mom, I think she’s at work.

Poppy: Um, no. I actually needed someone who would listen and be understanding, which unfortunately is not my sister.

Finn: Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Poppy: It’s luna.

Ridge: Wow. You must’ve been thinking about someone very special when you designed this one.

Thomas: Hope. Always hope. You know, when I’m not seeing her and she’s not around me, I’m just waiting until I can see her again, you know?

Ridge: You really are smitten, aren’t you?

Thomas: A bit. I think she feels the same. I’ve never had a woman care about me the way that hope does.

Ridge: Well, I’m pulling for both of you.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: Have you ever seen me like this?

Brooke: Not in a long time.

Hope: It’s because I haven’t been this happy in a long time, and that’s because of thomas. Look, mom, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but it’s the truth. He’s good for me. We’re– we’re good for each other. So please, can you stop fighting it? Can you support my relationship with thomas?

Thomas: You know, you were one of the first people to jump on board. Wish us well.

Ridge: You’re my boy. I believe in you. Always have your back.

Thomas: Well, your encouragement means the world, and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Ridge: You know what I learned over the years? Life is short. Find your future. Grab it. Hold on to it.

Thomas: That’s exactly what I intend to do today.

Brooke: I can’t deny what a great place you’re in, and beth and douglas seem to be thriving too.

Hope: Thomas is wonderful with the kids.

Brooke: And thomas seems to be in a better place as well.

Hope: What is this I’m hearing? Is this progress?

Brooke: I’m trying. I’m trying. As surprised as I am, I can’t deny the positive impact that he’s had on your life.

Hope: Honestly, mom, thank you. I can tell you’re making an effort, and this really has been a wonderful time in my life, and I want to be able to share that with you.

Brooke: Honey, I just love you so much. I want you to be happy.

Hope: And I am happy. I’m so, so happy, and in large part that is because of thomas.

Finn: Is everything okay with luna? She’s not– she’s not sick or anything?

Poppy: No, but she is hurt and disappointed.

Finn: What, by rj?

Poppy: No… by me. I’ve let my daughter down, finn, and for the first time in her life, it’s not me she wants to talk to. It’s her father.

Bill: Your father.

Luna: I’ve always been able to turn to my mom, you know, share anything and everything with her, but this time it’s different.

Bill: Because you and poppy had a fight. I know you wish you could talk to your dad. I’m not your dad, but if I concentrate really hard, I think I could be a good listener. Moving forward with node-positive

Ridge: Wow, look at you. Look how gorgeous you are.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. You’re as handsome as ever.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah. Hmm. So how’s your day going?

Ridge: It’s, uh, pretty good.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: How do you get better looking every time I see you?

Brooke: I need to come back in here more often in between meetings.

Ridge: Yeah, you should.

Brooke: It’s very special.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: So, uh, I had an interesting conversation with hope.

Ridge: About what?

Brooke: About her and thomas.

Ridge: That’s funny. I had that same conversation with my son.

Brooke: Oh?

Ridge: I’m convinced that he’s completely devoted to her.

Brooke: You might be right.

Thomas: Good, you’re here.

Hope: Promise me you will always be this excited to see me.

Thomas: I promise.

[ Hope squeals ] Hmm…

Hope: What’s got you in such a good mood today? And, um, excuse me, what is this?

Thomas: Oh, well, this is, um, a little something I wanted you to try on.

Hope: It is beautiful.

Thomas: Yeah, not as beautiful as it’ll look once it’s on you.

Hope: When did you find the time?

Thomas: I stayed up late a few extra nights. Wanted it to be a surprise.

Hope: Oh, well, aren’t I just the luckiest woman in the world to be dating such a sexy, talented artiste?

Thomas: What can I say? You’re my muse.

Hope: Hmm. I do humbly accept the title, but I, uh, your muse was kind of in the middle of something. So can it– can it wait?

Thomas: No.

Hope: No.

Thomas: No.

Hope: Oh, so it’s important.

Thomas: Very important.

Hope: Oh, gosh, when you say it like that, it sounds like your future depends on it.

Thomas: It kind of does.

Hope: Oh, well, then, in that case, um, I guess help me take my clothes off.

Thomas: Okay.

Bill: Look, uh, I tend to talk a lot, take up a room, but for you, I’m gonna work very hard on just shutting up. I will zip it, zipped. Seriously, I’ll just listen.

Luna: Thank you, bill, that’s– that’s really kind of you to offer, but, um, I probably shouldn’t get into it.

Bill: Fair enough.

Luna: Oh, my god. I’m sorry. Uh, where are my manners? Uh, did you want something to drink, or?

Bill: I really do. I don’t suppose you have scotch.

Luna: No, my mom doesn’t drink alcohol.

Bill: Yeah, right. I– I know. I mean, she won’t even have a glass of the finest bottle of wine. She’s just all about relaxing with her happy mints. What? What? Did I say something wrong?

Luna: No, I was just thinking about some other thing.

Bill: See, I told you I talk too much.

Luna: Can I ask you something, bill?

Bill: Shoot.

Luna: Has my mom ever talked to you about my father? If advanced lung cancer

Ridge: Hang on a second. Did I hear you right? Did you say that thomas might be good for hope?

Brooke: I might be changing my mind just a little bit.

Ridge: All right, that’s– that– that is fantastic, but why, why?

Ridge: Why would you see him differently now?

Brooke: Okay, just don’t read too much into it. But I have seen changes in my daughter. She seems very light and joyful and, uh, a lot of trust and confidence, and I do believe that one of the reasons is because of thomas.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Thomas: Wow.

Hope: It’s, uh… thomas, it’s stunning.

Thomas: It’s not the dress. It’s you. You are on my mind every moment I put pen to paper.

Hope: Hmm. Well, it is perfect, and there is nothing that I would change about it.

Thomas: That’s high praise.

Hope: Well, it feels spectacular on, and it hits– hmm… it hits all the right places.

Thomas: Well, it sure does.

Hope: All right, this was fun while it lasted, uh, but I know it’s probably already spoken for, so I should–

Thomas: Uh, no, no, I want you to keep it on.

Hope: What are you saying, that I can have it?

Thomas: You can have anything you want. I would give you the world.

Hope: You already have.

Thomas: No, no, don’T.

Hope: No?

Thomas: No– no I have, uh, I have something planned, and I think you should wear it.

Hope: Oh, oh. Oh, there are plans?

Thomas: There are. We’re going somewhere. It’s not too far, so don’t worry. Come on, let’s go.

Hope: What, right now?

Thomas: Yes, right now. Come on.

Hope: Okay.

Finn: Luna’s upset she can’t speak with her dad?

Poppy: Yeah, I’ve been giving her the run-around since she was born, but… she’s finally fed up with me.

Finn: Do you, um, do you know who luna’s father is? Like, would you– would you consider opening up to her?

Poppy: It seems like more and more like I have no choice.

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s your call, but what I don’t understand is what do I have to do with this?

Luna: Well, my mom’s told you that I don’t know who my father is.

Bill: It’s come up a few times.

Luna: Well, has she ever mentioned anything or any ideas on who it could be?

Bill: We discussed it, and for a while I thought, maybe hoped, that it could be me. Schwarzkopf

Finn: The reason you’re here to see me is about luna’s father?

Poppy: Yes. I need to talk to you about that.

Bill: Crazy, huh?

Luna: Um, well, actually, rj thought the same thing when i first told him how you and my mom met, you know, all those years ago, and the timeline matches up.

Bill: It does. That’s why I had to ask poppy if I could be your father.

Luna: And let me guess, she said no.

Bill: She said it wasn’t me.

Luna: I mean, I’m not surprised. Anytime I mention my father or ask her if maybe it could be someone from her past that I’ve met before, she always just shuts down and says that she’s not sure.

Bill: Did you ever think she has a good reason for keeping it from you?

Luna: I mean, what legitimate reason could there be? You know, the older I get, the more I wonder, and I don’t think it’s fair for her to keep this from me. You know, like it’s some deep, dark, dirty secret. You know, this is my life. It’s– it’s my identity. I mean, is it so wrong for me to wanna know who my father is?

Bill: No, no, not at all. You have every right to that information. And like I told poppy, any man would be proud to call you his daughter.

Ridge: So you’re seeing thomas differently. Thank you. That’s all I can ask.

Brooke: Do I believe that thomas adds to hope’s life? Yes, I do. She seems happier and she’s laughing more. What mother doesn’t want that for her daughter?

Ridge: Absolutely. And she must be thrilled, right?

Brooke: Yeah, you could say that.

Ridge: Look at us. We– we do things together all the time. It’s all we do, and now maybe the two of them, they could move this company forward, this family.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I think they should take it slow, but I am giving thomas the benefit of the doubt. But only hope knows what’s best for her.

Hope: Ah, ah. Wow. Um, is there a hope for the future event that I wasn’t aware we were planning?

Thomas: Well, this does have to do with hope for the future.

Hope: Uh-huh. And, uh, where’s the rest of the team, then? Where’s everyone?

Thomas: Right here.

Hope: So it’s just the two of us.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Well then, I, uh, I call this meeting to order.

Thomas: Oh, okay. Well, actually, I have a little speech that I wanted to try out. Do you mind if I practice it on you?

Hope: Okay. I’d love to hear it.

Thomas: Okay, um… here it goes. The future is full of uncertainty, and how do you get past that uncertainty? We, take risks. It’s trial and error, and then you find successes. And we have found successes in our relationship, working for hope for the future, but also in our relationship as a couple, building a wonderful family. And through those risks, you trust your instincts. You take second chances, and you have given me more second chances than I probably deserve. But… you kept giving me more chances, and for that, I am so grateful. I will always be grateful to you for that. And speaking of second chances, um… you said you needed more time. But I think we’re ready. I think we’re very, very ready. It’s time for you to take this ring and put it on your finger. I don’t wanna wait anymore. So, hope… say you’ll make me the happiest man in the world. Say you’ll be my wife. Say you’ll marry me.

Ridge: You softened the shoulder. Looks nice.

Thomas: Yeah, I think it gives a more elegant flow down the back.

Ridge: It does. How’s it feel?

Petra: It was perfect before, but now it’s even more perfect.

Ridge: It’s almost impossible.

Thomas: Reminds me of my relationship with hope.

Ridge: All right, petra, I think that’s enough for today. Why don’t you tell harold there are no changes.

Petra: Always a pleasure, ridge, thomas.

Thomas: Thanks.

Ridge: Well done, son.

Thomas: Hey, you gave me the idea.

Ridge: No, not just your work. Your personal life.

Hope: I don’t understand what has gotten into me.

Thomas: Hm…

Hope: Why I can’t get enough of you.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: You okay, honey? You seem a little flushed.

Hope: Uh, yes, you– you caught me. I happened to be thinking of thomas.

Liam: Well, the, uh, multi-platform ad structure’s kicking up revenue nicely.

Bill: You said it would.

Liam: Oh, it’s so nice to be right.

Bill: Well, that’s the kind of confidence that spencer needs at the top. I’m glad to see you stepping up, son.

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m happy to do it, especially since, uh, you’re focused on something else right now. Or should I say someone else?

Bill: All right, all right I– I will admit that poppy has been on my mind quite a bit lately.

Poppy: You’re not going into the office?

Luna: I rolled some calls earlier and now I’m prepping for a meeting. I thought you were going out.

Poppy: Are you trying to avoid me? Luna, I hate this tension between us. Okay, I mean, I feel awful about what’s happened because–

Luna: I don’t want to think about that night anymore, mom. Accidentally taking your mints, pretty much hallucinating, sleeping with zende. I just– I just want to focus on my work.

Poppy: Luna… it was a mistake. I’m so sorry. Please… please would you forgive me?

Luna: I wish I could talk to my father about this.

Ridge: You and hope doing okay?

Thomas: Stronger every day.

Ridge: Makes me very happy.

Thomas: Last night was kind of a highlight.

Ridge: You did something special?

Thomas: Yeah, well, granddad and donna, they were watching the kids, so I decided to take advantage of the moment. Uh, we had some dinner and reminisced about the past. The way it all began.

Hope: Thomas actually ordered us a feast from il giardino. And he went out of his way to find a chianti from the year that douglas was born. And it was all to just recapture the romance and the magic that we felt in rome.

Brooke: OH.

Hope: He’s always doing thoughtful things like that. Going out of his way to make me feel special and loved.

Brooke: He certainly gives you a lot of attention.

Hope: Well, yeah, it feels good for a change. You know, being a priority in someone’s life and finally being the only woman.

Poppy: You want to talk to your father?

Luna: Yeah, I do.

Poppy: Luna.

Luna: I’m sorry, okay? I’m not trying to hurt you. I mean, I’ve always been able to come to you with all of my problems, but… I can’T. Not about this. Not– not about zende and the mix-up with the mints.

Poppy: Because I’m the cause of it.

Luna: I can’t even open up to rj or my friends at the office about it. Mom, it’S… it’s eating me up. Holding this inside, I just– I need to know who my father is.

[]

Thomas: Do you ever have like 14 designs ruminating in your mind at once? It occupies a lot of space. Like, it’s really great, but it’s also stressful. I– I feel like that’s what last night was about. Like, I wanted to get away from the stress, take hope and get away from it all, like we did in italy. Like it was in rome, where all that magic came alive.

Ridge: Well, it sounds like last night was magical too.

Thomas: Yeah. Hope is like the best surprise I’ve ever gotten in my life.

Ridge: But it’s not a surprise. It didn’t come out of nowhere. You worked on who you are as a man, as a father, and hope sees that and she wants it in her life.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I want her in my life for sure, and I– I just can’t imagine a life without her, actually.

Brooke: Well, there is no question that thomas is completely devoted to you. And you love the way he loves you. But how do you feel about him, honey? And I know you’re having fun, but is this really the guy that you want to spend your life with?

Hope: Thomas is the man who made me realize what I deserve. What it feels like to be loved completely. His passion for me is genuine, mom, and it is not obsessive anymore. It is healthy, and it is– it’s beautiful. And in turn, it makes me feel… beautiful.

Bill: Not everything comes down to magic, liam. It could just be plain old good timing. Two people who want the same thing at the same time in their life.

Liam: Yeah, except you yourself said that this feels different, that there is this special connection.

Bill: Yeah, because we go so far back.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, because you go so far back. Or…

Bill: Oh, here we go.

Liam: Or… poppy’s in los angeles to give you something you have never had before.

Poppy: Okay, luna, I realize you’re feeling isolated.

Luna: No, I’ve always wondered who my father is. But you always shut me down. You haven’t told me anything, mom, and I– I’ve always put up with that in the past because I didn’t want to upset you or make you feel like I was disappointed in you.

Poppy: And now you are disappointed.

Luna: That’s not why I’m asking. Mom, I did something totally out of character. I mean, betraying the man that I love? That is so not me.

Poppy: It wasn’t you. It was the mints.

Luna: Okay, then what about the lying and– and keeping secrets? Everything that I’m doing now? I don’t know, mom, but maybe knowing who my father is might help. Why? Why won’t you tell me who he is? Known as a passionate artist.

Bill: All right, I may regret it, but I’ll bite. What do you think poppy’s giving me?

Liam: Aside from a chance to step away from the office so I can steer the ship for a minute?

Bill: Yeah, just don’t forget who daddy is.

Liam: What you’ve never had before, daddy, is someone in your life who met you as bill. Not billionaire business mogul, bill. Not dollar bill. Just bill.

Bill: You’re right. She does see me that way. And she gets me out of my head. You know, away from my considerable ego. And you know that’s not an easy thing to do. Ah, liam, it is just really great with poppy. We’re just– we’re not labeling it. It’s not, uh, what are we? Who are we? Where are we going? What is this? And at the same time, I feel like anything is possible. I mean, it’s really exciting. I have no idea what could happen next. You know, I texted poppy earlier about getting together, but I think I’m gonna pay her a visit right now.

Liam: Right now? You’re gonna do this?

Bill: Yeah, so when the check comes, make sure you leave a big fat tip there.

Liam: All right. Good luck.

Bill: I don’t need it. I mean, if we’re meant to be, I’m going to show up there at just the right time.

Luna: Tell me who he is, mom. Just give me a name and I’ll do the rest. You owe me this.

Poppy: Okay, luna, you know what? Your emotions are all stirred up. Would you just gave it some time? Focus on the good things, like– like how much rj cares about you. Then what happened that night–

Luna: I don’t want to talk about what happened that night, mom. If I had a dad, I’d talk to him about it, but he’s not in my life because you don’t want him to be.

Poppy: No, it’s not like that.

Luna: Then why won’t you answer my question?

Poppy: Because we’re just fine on our own. We don’t need anyone else. It’s always just been the two of us. And that’s our power. That’s always been enough.

Luna: Maybe it’s not enough anymore.

Thomas: Things are coming together for us, dad. I know hope loves me.

Ridge: I can see why she would.

Thomas: I just wish that brooke could believe that, too.

Hope: I am so happy, mom, and… can you please just be happy for me, too?

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: Bill?

Bill: Luna, hi. Yeah, I– I came by to surprise poppy.

Luna: Um, she’s not here. She just left.

Bill: Are you okay? Why– why are you upset? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Ridge: Brooke isn’t standing between the two of you.

Thomas: She’s not supporting us either.

Ridge: Why do you say that? ‘Cause she wasn’t throwing confetti when she saw the ring on the necklace?

Thomas: Well, I wasn’t expecting anyone to throw confetti. Actually, we didn’t really want anyone to know about the proposal.

Ridge: Well, I’m glad you told me.

Thomas: I love her, dad. Her beauty, her goodness. It’s just– I believe that very, very, very soon, she’s gonna take that ring off her necklace and put it on her finger.

Brooke: Honey, you’re happy, and I love that. And that is all that I want for you.

Hope: Okay, but then why is it so hard for you to give thomas credit for that?

Brooke: I have my reservations.

Hope: Mom, I had my reservations, too. It took me a while to trust him and to open my heart up to him. And he’s given me his. Every bit of it. And that was even before the ring and the proposal. I mean, that was through his words and his actions, his devotion. He’s given me his whole heart. I mean, the kids feel it, too, mom. All of us. We feel so secure with him, with thomas. He makes me happy and I just– can you just give us a chance? Please, mom, can… do you think you could support my relationship with thomas?

Bill: You’re definitely upset.

Luna: It’s nothing.

Bill: It’s obviously something. Is it the forrester kid?

Luna: What?

Bill: Did he hurt you?

Luna: No, no, no, he would never.

Bill: Then what’s going on?

Luna: I’m fine.

Bill: Well, you don’t look fine. I, um, I mean, you look– you look beautiful. But you’re– you’re– you’re sad. Your mom wouldn’t want that. You said your mom was here. And she left. Did you have an argument? Um… I know all about parents and their kids butting heads. I mean, not so much mothers’ and daughters but… you know, I have three sons, right? Liam, wyatt, and– and will. And I probably drive them crazy on a– on a daily basis, but that’s only because I want the best for them. So I try to– I– I guide them and I– I try to teach them, and… some people might describe my personality as being somewhat intense and maybe a bit, uh, combustible, right? I’ll admit that I go too far sometimes. But I mean, you know, parents can do that because they just really love their kids, and sometimes we just can’t get out of our own way. Is that maybe what happened with you and your mom?

Luna: Um, yeah, we had an– an argument. And it’s been pretty tense between us lately. You know, it’s, uh, it’s really nice hearing you talk about your sons and how much you love them.

Bill: Luna, your mom loves you just as much.

Luna: Yeah, but you’re a dad. It’s different.

Bill: Is it?

Luna: Maybe. I don’t know. I mean, I’ve– I’ve never had one.

Bill: Yeah.

Luna: I mean, I’m not trying to say that dads are better. You know, like dads over moms. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. I mean, it’s the love that matters and being there for your kid. My mom’s always been there for me, but, you know, there’s like a part of me that’s missing and… she doesn’t understand that. Or, I don’t know, she doesn’t want to understand it. Because… every time I bring it up, she just… god, I just can’t let it go anymore. I need to know. I need to know who my father is.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Finn, what is it?

Finn: I can’t stop seeing her.

Steffy: Who?

Finn: Sheila.

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Ah, thank you. What are you in the mood for?

Bill: I don’t know. Pizza, pasta. You buying?

Liam: Well, technically, if I’m buying, you’re buying, so yeah, I’m buying.

Bill: Good boy. Well, this I know for sure. It’s going to be a lot more enjoyable eating here now that sheila is permanently out of commission. And out of our lives.

Thomas: I hope you saved some room, because I whipped up something special.

Hope: Oh, well, your whipping-up skills have certainly been impressive thus far. I mean, you sure know how to order well.

Thomas: No, no, no. This time I actually made it myself. I want you to guess.

Hope: Um… brownies.

Thomas: Brown– brownies. You thought that I– special date night, I made brownies?

Hope: Douglas says that he loves making brownies with you, and it’s not exactly like you have all the free time in the world to study puff pastry.

Thomas: Okay, you do make a point, but this is something a little different. Okay, do you remember that little cafe off of imperiali? We had coffee, and…

Hope: You made panna cotta.

Thomas: I made panna cotta. It’s actually not that hard after the 11th try. Let me know what you think.

Hope: Gladly. Thomas, thank you. All of this has been so sweet. The wine, the music, the food.

Thomas: Look, you love italy, right? And italian food? So do I. And it also reminds me of that wonderful time that we’ll never forget.

Hope: I’ll never forget it either.

Liam: You– listen, you get no argument from me. Sheila’s death was…

Bill: A long time coming. And now that it has, it’ll all be a lot easier.

Liam: Well, not all. I mean, steffy I’m not so sure about yet.

Bill: How’s she doing?

Liam: As you’d expect. On the one hand, she’s relieved not to be living under threat of sheila for the rest of her life. On the other hand, she’s the one who eliminated that threat herself.

Bill: And we’re all grateful for that.

Liam: Yeah, you just imagine what she’s going through, right? ‘Cause steffy’s not a violent person. So, for her to pick up a knife and plunge it into sheila as she was lunging at her…

Bill: Well, it sounds like it was her only option and she was totally justified in doing it.

Lima: Absolutely, it was. 100%. It’s just that from steffy’s point of view, she has to live with this for the rest of her life, having killed somebody, self-defense or not.

Steffy: You can’t stop seeing sheila. What do you mean?

Finn: I– I– I keep seeing flashes of her just– just lying on the floor. And look, I know that it’s not real, but it seems– it seems real.

Steffy: It’s okay, it’s okay. Everything’s all right. Okay, come here. It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. The power of a skin filler

Hope: Let me do the dishes.

Thomas: No! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That’s not how this works. I don’t invite a wonderful, beautiful, sexy woman over to my mojo dojo casa house and then cook her a wonderful meal and force her to do the dishes. That’s not what happens.

Hope: Well, I volunteered. But, I mean, if you want to do things your way…

Thomas: My way? If we were doing things my way, we wouldn’t be talking about dishes.

[ Both chuckling ] Oh, I love the way you smile. I love the way you make me smile. I just, um, I guess I’m feeling a little guilty right now.

Hope: For what?

Thomas: Steffy. Everything she’s going through, I just wish I could be there to help her.

Hope: You are helping her, thomas. You’ve been such a supporter, loving her and caring for her the way a big brother should.

Thomas: I don’t know. I mean, look, she went through something terrible. She had sheila break into her home. She was just trying to have a night alone, and then she… had to kill someone. That’S…

Hope: Look, as strong as steffy is, taking a life, even if it is justified, that is still a horrifying thing.

Thomas: Yes, and she’s traumatized right now and she deserves to have someone there to help her. I just wish finn could put his stuff aside.

Hope: Finn is struggling too.

Thomas: I know finn’s struggling. I just, I think he can compartmentalize a little bit and help her, and… you know what? We’re not supposed to be talking about them. This night is about us.

Hope: It is. I mean, you brought italy all the way over here to us.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s not the same as being there, though, is it?

Hope: You came pretty close. But you do have a point. There is only one roma.

Thomas: That’s right. The one that we shared together.

Hope: I wanna go back.

Thomas: We should.

Hope: When?

Thomas: There’s nothing stopping us. Let’s go.

Hope: What exactly are you saying?

Bill: You have gotta be kidding me.

Liam: Not kidding you. Steffy’s the one who told me.

Bill: Her husband, the man who supposedly loves and cares about her, walks out on steffy when she needs him most?

Liam: Which, as you can imagine, upsets steffy just a little bit.

Bill: Upset? She should be furious. This guy abandons her at a time like this?

Liam: It’s not that he’s not loyal to steffy. Because he understands that she never would’ve picked up that knife. She never would’ve done what she did if there was any other option. What he’s all messed up about is that it was his wife who killed his birth mother.

Bill: His birth mother was a psycho who was in and out of prison for years. And now she’s dead and he’s developed some kind of bizarre mommy’s boy connection to her?

Liam: Oh, no, but you see, according to finn, it’s “complicated.”

Bill: It’s just nuts. I hope you told him that. You said you went to see him.

Lima: Oh, yeah, well, when i found out that he walked out on steffy, yeah, I did go see him.

Bill: Gave him a piece of your mind.

Liam: I didn’t mince words. Not that the guy gives a damn what I think.

Bill: So, he just got defensive?

Liam: He got defensive because he just thinks I’m– I’m, like, waiting in the wings to pick up all the pieces when, you know, this doesn’t work out with him and steffy.

Bill: Well, is that what you’re doing, liam?

Liam: Well, it is like you said. At this moment, finn’s focus should be on steffy and his family and being exactly the man that steffy needs him to be. And… if he can’t do that, it’s like I told steffy. I can.

Steffy: Finn, this is a really traumatic time. It’s not gonna be easy, but we’re gonna get through it, okay? So tell me, what’s– what’s going on with you?

Finn: I just, um, oh, when I– when I got the fire going, when you went to change and I moved the gate, and– I don’t know, I– I felt, like, this presence. But then I– I turned back and it was nothing. But then I– I felt it again. But only this time, I saw it. It was– it was my mom. She was laying there bloody. And as soon as I saw it, it disappeared. And I don’t know if it was just, like, what I imagined she looked like, but then you came back and we were on the couch and I saw it again. Only this time, she called out my name. And as soon as I saw it, it was just like a flash and it was gone. It was just– it was just like my dream. Only this time I was awake, right here, like, right on the floor. I don’t– what’s happening to me? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Hope: Oh, you wanna whisk me away to rome?

Thomas: I would like nothing better.

Hope: Me too.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Really. I miss it. You know, I miss the people and the places. The history. Ugh, the food. And as delicious as this meal was… I don’t know, there was still that amazing meal that we had at our favorite restaurant down by the spanish steps. Remember?

Thomas: How could I forget? How could I forget anything we shared in rome? This is where it happens, hope. Your vision brought to life.

Hope: This dream wouldn’t be a reality if it wasn’t for you.

Hope: Rome is where all of this started for us.

Thomas: The love, the romance, the beauty. Rome will always be with us.

Bill: I’m impressed, son.

Liam: With what?

Bill: With steffy, that she can always count on you.

Liam: Oh. Well, she can always count on me. That’s not just words.

Bill: I know. Just like I also know that you will always love her.

Liam: Well, we do share a beautiful daughter together.

Bill: Yes, you do, but this isn’t just about kelly. Your feelings for steffy will never go away.

Liam: No, they won’T. She’s a part of me. Always will be.

Stefy: Finn, I know this isn’t easy to hear, but… sheila is gone.

Finn: No, I– I know. It’s just… I think my mind is just playing tricks.

Steffy: It’s just gonna take some time to process. Make sense of it all.

Finn: Yeah.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Hold on. It’s liam. I don’t have to take this.

Finn: Answer it, ’cause it might be about kelly.

Steffy: Hey, liam. Is kelly okay?

Liam: No, no, kelly’s fine.

Steffy: Okay, thank god.

Liam: Everything all right?

Steffy: It will be.

Liam: Are you, uh– are you alone?

Steffy: No, I’m with finn right now. It’s a bad time. Let’s talk later.

Liam: Okay, all right, but–

Bill: Steffy okay?

Liam: I hope so.

Bill: Couldn’t tell?

Liam: I– no, but I’ve got a bad feeling it’s got something to do with finn.

Steffy: I feel awful that you’re going through this.

Finn: I mean, look, so are you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I mean, everything that’s happened.

Steffy: We make quite the pair, huh?

[ Finn chuckles ] And no matter how difficult this is, and yes, we are both having different reactions to this, we are gonna get through it. We’re gonna overcome this. Tell me you understand that, finn. Bipolar 1, I got help to push back.

Hope: I agree that the romance and the spirit of rome just never left us. And I don’t ever wanna lose sight of that.

Thomas: We won’T. I mean, you know, there’s a place that I remember above all else, a place that has so much history, especially for us.

Hope: Could it be… colosseum? Where I finally gave in and kissed you?

Thomas: Mm-hmm. That’s where our future began. A future that still awaits us.

Bill: Well, well, well. The good doctor finally finds his way back home.

Liam: It’s about time.

Bill: Considering the hell that steffy’s been through, he should be there for her.

Liam: Yeah, well, he will if he gets his head on straight. The woman’s dead. He needs to let her be dead. Not just for his sake, but for steffy’S.

Steffy: And you have a beautiful mind. You’re smart and you’re analytical. It’s one of the many reasons I fell in love with you. Okay, so why don’t we just talk about this as facts, all right? Sheila died. She died here, in our home. And now you’re getting these, like, flashes. And you weren’t there when it happened, but these flashes are taking you there, like… I’m just– I’m trying to make sense of this all. I’m trying to help. I really am.

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Steffy: Well, she’s been taken to the morgue.

Finn: Hey. I appreciate what you’re doing. You’re so sweet. I mean, look, I agree, but I– you know, I know all this. It’s not like I’m confused or not believing what happened. The fact of the matter is, I’m having these flashes of sheila lying on the floor, and I just… I don’t know what’s going on with me. I mean, it’s just– I know it sounds crazy, but maybe I am going crazy.

Steffy: Finn, you’re under a lot of stress right now. Sheila’s death has taken a toll, and your mind’s just trying to catch up with you.

Finn: You’re the best. I’m sorry. I just– the last thing you need right now is me like this. I’m your husband. I should be your rock, but instead you’re… being that for me.

Steffy: It’s okay. It’s what I signed up for. Don’t sell yourself short. Having you here is just as important to me. I don’t wanna go through this alone. And I know you don’t want that either. We will overcome this, okay? We will. As long as we’re together. We’ll get through it.

Finn: That’s right.

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Doesn’t feel real yet. Does it to you?

Steffy: Knowing sheila’s gone? No. Hasn’t truly sunk in yet. I keep double-checking locks. Looking over my shoulder, seeing if she might pop up and do something. But she won’T. Never again. Sheila’s out of our lives for good.

[ Brooke moaning ]

Ridge: Wow. What was that for?

Brooke: Just wanted to thank you. Dinner was fabulous.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You know I didn’t cook it, right?

Brooke: I know, but you made the reservations, so that warrants a kiss.

Ridge: See, now I’m even more upset I’ve got to pick up those papers, but I need them. I’ve got this meeting tomorrow morning.

Brooke: All righty. I’ll just catch up with my email.

Ridge: You know, I’m surprised there’s no one here. I thought thomas would be burning the midnight oil.

Brooke: I thought he’d be here too. He’s so committed to hope’s line.

Ridge: Committed to hope’s line and committed to hope. Thomas and hope love each other.

Hope: Well, if his homework’s all done. Yeah. Of course. Of course you can let him play. All right. I will pick them up first thing in the morning. Thank you so much, donna. Bye.

Thomas: Let me guess. Douglas is begging for video game time.

Hope: Oh, yes. But he does have straight a’s, so…

Thomas: Let the boy play.

Hope: I should give donna a call back and let her know about the one hour.

Thomas: Okay, but we only have, like– we’ve been trying to make this work for a while and we only have one night. Do you want to spend it making calls to donna?

Hope: Well, when you put it like that.

Thomas: You have any ideas for activities?

Hope: I’m sure whatever we come up with will be worthwhile.

Ridge: You’re gonna have to work on that.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: That. That look you get on your face every time we talk about hope and thomas being a couple.

Brooke: This just isn’t easy for me.

Ridge: It wasn’t easy for anybody, but it’s done. They’re together, and… I don’t know. I think there’s something really beautiful about that. Magical, even.

Thomas: You okay?

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: You seem… worried about douglas?

Hope: Uh, no, actually. I know he’s having a blast over at eric’S.

Thomas: Ah, so that means you’re still worried about steffy and finn.

Hope: It’s horrible, what they’re going through. I mean, to think that sheila’s death is now putting a strain on their marriage?

Thomas: Keep showing the kind of person you are. You genuinely care. You’re always empathizing. Especially in this situation. I mean, it’s not like you and steffy are exactly best friends.

Hope: All right, well, that might be true. I don’t want her going through anything like this.

Thomas: I know. That’s what makes you such a wonderful person. However, for tonight, I’d rather focus just on the two of us.

Hope: I do like the sound of that.

Thomas: Oh.

Hope: Will you help me forget?

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: So, checkers?

Thomas: Sure. Yeah.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: We can play. Or chess. Whatever.

Hope: Just–

Thomas: Whatever works.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah.

Finn: I wish I could find relief in that. Knowing that the threat’s over. Look, and I understand that it’s a good thing to not have to stress anymore. Wonder if sheila is going to crack and do something. It’s just… it’s just the way that it went down.

Steffy: It was never if she was going to crack. It was when. And she did when she showed up here. When she broke into our home and tried to attack me. Sheila intended on hurting me. I don’t know how, but I know that she had some kind of plan figured out. And that night, it was either her or me.

Finn: I get that.

Steffy: Well, this isn’t easy for both of us. Despite how freaked out we both are, despite how difficult this is, we need to figure out a way to heal. For the sake of our marriage. I want to be close to you again. In every way.

Finn: I want that, too.

Steffy: Yeah. There it is…

Ridge: At the end of the day, what we really want is for our kids to be happy, right?

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Ridge: And that’s how I know that you’re going to come around.

Brooke: To the idea of hope and thomas in a relationship.

Ridge: The same way that my mom came around to it. Look at hope. She’s so happy. We haven’t seen her this happy in a long time. And I think it’s because she’s with thomas. The two of them, they bring out the best in each other. I can see it. You can see it. You can’t see it, right?

Brooke: Okay, okay, yeah. I won’t deny that. But all happiness aside, I still am very worried because of what’s happened before and the lengths that thomas would go to.

Ridge: That’s the past.

Brooke: The past matters.

Ridge: The past matters, but so does the future. And the two of them, they could have a wonderful future together. Maybe the next great logan-forrester couple. Hm?

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: Um, sir, you have, uh, really outdone yourself this time.

Thomas: Oh, well, thank you. I try very, very hard. Did you know that this bottle of chianti is actually from the year that douglas was born?

Hope: Yeah. And was it a particularly good year for the grapes?

Thomas: Oh, well, you should know that this vintage, specifically, actually carries notes of blackberry and plum. And on the nose, you might have hints of– I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I thought you might think it was cute.

Hope: I– I definitely think it’s cute.

Thomas: Good, good, okay. Well, either way, what I do know about this wine is that it pairs very well with the special from il giardino.

Hope: Is that what I smell coming from the kitchen?

Thomas: That is, and I thought we could start with a little bruschetta.

Hope: Oh, well, don’t mind if I do.

Thomas: No worries. Um, aurora, could you play my italian playlist?

[ Classical music playing ]

Hope: Italian music? Am I, uh, sensing a theme here tonight?

Thomas: A little bit. Salute.

Hope: Salute.

Steffy: Oh, I miss this. Our connection. We can’t let what happened overshadow our love for each other.

Finn: We won’t want it to, but–

Steffy: No, we won’T. We won’t let it. Baby steps. We just need to try to get back to us. The two of us. Tell you what. Why don’t I get some clothes on and we could finish the bottle of wine, you get the fire going, and we can hang out? It just feels so good being in your arms.

Finn: We are better together.

Steffy: We are.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: Baby steps.

[ Creaking ] Schwarzkopf

Hope: Why is this so good?

Thomas: You know, I don’t know. Like, your dad, for some reason, he thinks that pizza is their thing, but for me, it’s the parpadella.

Hope: It’s the parpadella.

Thomas: It’s the parpadella.

Hope: Okay, so, what brought upon this theme for tonight? Anything in particular?

Thomas: I don’t know. History, I guess. I’ve been thinking about our history, everything we’ve been through, and all the places we’ve been, and how we’ve gotten to where we are right now. And one place, above all, stands above the rest. Roma.

Brooke: So, I’m just wondering, how did you get so confident in them, this idea of hope and thomas’ future?

Ridge: Well, it’s the kind of guy I am. I pay attention. You’ll get there.

Brooke: But lately, you’ve been worried about steffy’s future. And me, too. It’s horrible what she had to go through with sheila.

Ridge: She’s struggling. She’s gotta be okay, but she killed somebody. In self-defense, but… she killed someone.

Brooke: She’s gonna be okay. She’s a brave, courageous woman and she will get through this.

Ridge: I know. I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about finn.

Steffy: Honestly, I don’t even know if I need the wine. Just being with you, touching you, knowing that we’re together, that’s all I really need.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Thomas: I’ll never forget what we shared in rome.

Hope: Me neither. I mean, that trip changed everything.

Thomas: It’s just so beautiful. The landscape, the architecture, you. This is a place so full of history. I feel like actually you and I made some history today. So grateful for the time we had there and the impact it had.

Hope: It will always be our place. To roma.

Thomas: To roma.

Brooke: I can see how worried you are about steffy and finn.

Ridge: Of course I’m worried because I don’t know what finn’s doing. He’s got these misplaced feelings about his mother. He should be worried about his wife right now. He should be worried about his kids. He should be a husband and a father. Instead, he’s got this fantasy about who sheila could have been to him. Her getting killed is the best thing that could have happened to him because now, he doesn’t have to find a place for her in his life. She’s dead. It’s over. It’s done.

Finn: It feels good to be home with you in my arms.

Steffy: This is where you belong.

Finn: You’re right. Tonight, it’s about moving forward. And new beginnings. Because we don’t have any reason to look over our shoulder any longer. No one, nothing threatening our happiness or our family. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I got caught up with what happened to sheila and not prioritizing you and what you went through. I should have been more reassuring and supportive right from when I found out.

Steffy: Finn, it’s okay. I understand.

Finn: Well, I want to move on from it. Concentrate on us, on our family, and this beautiful life we have together. I just… love you so much, steffy. Never forget it, okay?

Steffy: No, I won’T. I know how you feel. You show me every single day. Look, I know we’re traumatized by what happened, but it is a trauma that we’re going to heal from. We will. The two of us, we can do it. Sheila’s no longer a threat to us. We don’t have to think about her. We don’t have to talk about her anymore. And honestly, I’d rather not talk about her tonight, because I just want this. I want you, I want to be wrapped up in your arms. Come here. I miss this. I love you.

[ Sheila gasping ]

[ Sheila coughing ]

Sheila: Finn.

Steffy: Whoa, finn. What’s wrong? Tell me.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Hey, finn, it’s okay. It’s okay. You had a dream. You had a really bad dream.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: You’re safe now, okay? You’re safe.

Finn: It’s just– I don’t– I… I just– I saw her die, steffy, and it– it– it felt very, very real. Um, just the– the– the blood and the– the begging and I just– I can’t stop hearing sheila beg for my help.

Thomas: Hey, where’d you go?

Hope: Uh, trying to work, but honestly, I just– I just can’t shake this feeling. I’m– I’m really worried about steffy and finn’s marriage.

Rj: So, are you ready for this? First night swim?

Luna: Uh, yeah.

Rj: Good, good, ’cause, you know, the sharks, they’re usually more calm after dark, so… I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m trying to make you laugh. I’m kidding.

Luna: Okay, well, shark attack jokes aren’t exactly the best way to do that. But I love that about you.

Rj: What, all my poorly timed jokes?

Luna: No, um, you’re always looking out for me. You know, always trying to make me laugh and stay positive. I really need that. More than you know. I’m just, um… I’m really lucky to have you.

Rj: Hey, I’m the one that’s lucky to have you. You’re– you’re this beautiful, honest, perfect woman.

Luna: Believe me, I feel the same way about you. I don’t ever want to lose you. Okay, so are we doing this? I mean, are you sure there’s no sharks out there?

Rj: No. I mean, well, there’s gonna be me. I mean, I’m gonna be circling you, making sure that you’re okay, of course. No, I think this will be good, you know? Just try to relax and clear your mind, and you know, maybe it’ll put things in perspective. Maybe you’ll realize things aren’t as bad as you think they are.

Carter: She’s impressive. I’m sorry.

Zende: Damn it, carter.

Carter: I didn’t mean to startle you, man. I’m sorry.

Zende: Yeah, all right. It’s okay. I was just…

Carter: Looking over the interns.

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Luna.

Zende: Mm-hmm.

Carter: Yeah, I get it.

Zende: You do?

Carter: Yeah, and she’s talented. She’s lovely. She’s made a big impact here at forrester. Luna’s very special.

Rj: Wait ’til you see the moon reflecting off the water when you’re in it. It’s just… you’ll see. You’ll see. And hey, you know I don’t want to pry, but I’m always here to help, whatever you need.

Luna: It’s is one of the countless reasons why I love you.

Rj: All right, let’s do this.

Luna: Okay.

Rj: Come on, let’s go.

[ Luna groaning ]

Steffy: It kills me to see you in so much pain. You know, I didn’t– I didn’t want any of this, but it all happened so fast.

Finn: Hey, I know. I know, okay, and… and it’s just, you know, I can’t deny how I’m feeling, though. You know, and after– after everything that she’s done to us, I mean, none of this makes sense. That I feel this connection to sheila. God, and I’ve… if I’m feeling this way, I mean, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I’m worried about you. And to do… you know what? And I know you had to defend yourself and you had no choice, but… just, I can’t imagine the toll this has taken on you. The right age for

Carter: I have to say, luna is definitely the standout. If she continues to work hard here. She’ll have a very bright future.

Zende: From intern to fashion mogul.

Carter: Hey, it worked for you, didn’t it?

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Remember when you were here interning, running coffee and files up and down these halls?

Zende: Good times.

Carter: For you, maybe. You can’t make a cup of coffee to save your life.

Zende: Hey, I was a bit distracted, okay?

Carter: How could you not be? Surrounded by all this creativity. You were born to design, zende. And you were impressive then, just like you are now.

Zende: Thanks, man.

Carter: It’s a gift. I’m good at seeing potential in people. And I have to say, luna is just as, if not more impressive than you were.

Zende: I am well aware of how special luna is.

Carter: And you’re not the only one. I don’t think anyone’s more impressed with luna than rj. Dude’s whole face lights up whenever she walks in the room.

Zende: Hm.

Rj: Okay, come on. Let’s just warm up quick now that we’re back in here. Here.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: Of course. You got it. There you go. So, was it worth it? It was worth it, right?

Luna: Hmm, yeah. It was pretty incredible. Do you do that often? Go on night swims?

Rj: Yeah, when I can. I think it’s a, I don’t know, it’s a nice way to let the world slip away. You agree?

Luna: Uh, it was pretty scary, to be honest. I mean, it was so dark out, I couldn’t see anything.

Rj: At least you had me, though, right? I’ll always be here to take care of you. Make you secure and happy.

Thomas: I’m trying to stay strong for my sister. To stay positive. I just– I hate that she’s going through this.

Hope: Me too. At least there’s one good thing that came out of it. Sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I hated sheila. I hated her with every ounce of my being, and I just wanted her to leave us alone. And I can see that you’re suffering, but I don’t want this to come between us.

Finn: Me neither. Look, and I know your family thinks that you killed an animal, but–

Steffy: But she’s your birth mother.

Finn: I know, but as much as I’m struggling, I know you are too. And I can see it.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m dealing with my own demons. And what I did. I mean, I even told sheila that I– I wanted her dead. And I thought about it. A lot. I actually just never thought I… I never wanted to take a life. I never…

[ Steffy sobs ] God.

Zende: You know, rj isn’t the only one who thinks so highly of luna. She’s awesome. She’s so smart and talented and obviously very beautiful.

Carter: You two have gotten pretty close, huh?

Zende: Why do you say that?

Carter: It’s the way you’re going on about her.

Zende: Man, I’m just agreeing with you. And rj. Pretty much everyone who’s ever met her.

Carter: Okay, well, with the way things are going, I’m pretty sure you’ll work with her more often. Get to know her even better.

Zende: I’d like that a lot.

Luna: Do you really mean it?

Rj: What?

Luna: When you say that you’ll always take care of me?

Rj: Of course. Absolutely. I mean, you changed my life. Really, you did. I just– I want to make sure that you always feel secure and loved.

Luna: I wish we were never apart.

Thomas: Look, I don’t care what finn’s feeling right now or what he’s mourning. Look, sheila has devastated our family and terrorized our families for years, right? Your mother, too. Sheila was evil. She deserved a lot worse than she got. And I don’t have the sympathy for finn that you have. Steffy is freaking out right now. And she needs her husband to be there. And for some reason, her husband is mourning the loss of the woman who tried to kill her.

Hope: Finn just needs more time.

Thomas: He doesn’t have any more time. I don’t care what he feels like he needs to get through or get over or whatever. Like, he needs to get over it now and be there for steffy.

Steffy: Now, I know you don’t want to hear this.

Finn: Well, yeah, I do.

Steffy: But if I open up to you, are you gonna just run out again?

Finn: No, I’m not gonna run out. Hey. Talk to me.

Steffy: It’s just when I think about sheila, everything that she’s done to us, my mother, how she’s tormented my family? I thought about it a lot. Like, what I would have to do to protect myself. What I would do to protect our children. And I knew exactly what to do. But when sheila lunged at me and I felt my knife go into her, I didn’t– I didn’t feel rage or relief. I felt anguish. And that haunts me. The way I look at– look at my hands. I look over there and all I see is just blood. Like, I took a life. Yes, it was self-defense, but I… I killed someone. And I don’t know if I’m– if I’m ever gonna feel normal again and that really worries me. Or if you’re ever gonna look at me the same way again. The company goes to the first born audrey.

Zende: Hello, luna.

Luna: Hi.

Zende: You’re here.

Luna: It feels so good being in your arms.

Rj: I could do this all night. Actually, I was wondering if you’d like to stay over?

Luna: I was hoping you’d ask.

Rj: Yeah?

Rj: I love being with you. I really do feel like I get to just be myself around you. And– and you know, plus, you– you find all my corny jokes really sexy, so…

Luna: Um, no. I find them pretty corny. But I do think you’re sexy. I mean it though, rj. I never wanna be away from you. I mean, you’re so kind and sweet, caring. I’ve never met someone more honest and loyal.

Rj: I’ve never met anyone more honest and loyal than you.

Luna: I never thought that I’d meet someone like you. Someone so warm and genuine. Never doubt how much I love you.

Thomas: Now look, I don’t mean to be insensitive. But this is how I feel. Look, sheila was obsessed with my family. She shot both of our mothers and now she’s finally dead so we can all breathe.

Hope: You are not being insensitive. You’re being a protective brother. And that’s what I love about you. Look, I know this has been hard for all of us.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s finally over. And I get that it is illogical and it may not make sense to us, but… the connection that finn feels to sheila is very real.

Thomas: What’s real is that finn has a family and a traumatized wife who needs him.

Hope: And finn needs steffy too right now. And that is what I am worried about. That all of this has compromised their ability to be there for one another. I mean, what if killing sheila has jeopardized steffy and finn’s marriage?

Finn: I hate that you’re suffering.

Steffy: I hate that you’re suffering too. What are you thinking?

Finn: I want to be there for you. I do. But, you know, hearing you talk about taking sheila’s life and you know, knowing that it happened here, in this– in this room, in our house, it’s just… I don’t know, it’s a lot. It’s a lot and it just makes– it makes– makes me feel like I could have another panic attack, like this house is haunted and it’s just– it’s– I hate feeling this way. Because I– I love you. Honey, I love you and the kids. You, you are my life. This house. This is– this is our house. And I hate feeling like I need to leave because of what happened here.

Steffy: No, I don’t– I don’t want you to leave either. I can’t even tell you how much I love you. I need you. I– I can’t even imagine going through this without you. I need my husband, finn. I need you. I need you.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: I am so sorry, finn. There’s just so much to process, you know, so much. But… I reacted. I mean, she came right at me. I did it to save myself.

Finn: I know, I know. Okay, and I just… I think my emotions need to catch up. I’m exhausted and this day has been endless.

Steffy: So, are you gonna sleep at the hospital again?

Finn: No. I wanna come home.

Steffy: Yeah.

Poppy: You two make such a great couple. Don’t you agree, zende?

Zende: They sure are something.

Rj: Sorry, I just missed you.

Luna: No, you have– you have nothing to be sorry about.

Rj: Is everything okay? You seem a little off.

Luna: I just realized I’m not good at this. I can’t do it.

Rj: What are you talking about? What do you mean you’re not good at this?

Poppy: Luna’s always been shy about expressing affection in public. But, um, sweetie, pda’s are unavoidable when a couple loves each other as much as you two do.

Rj: Yeah, and you know, the last thing I want you to be is uncomfortable. Do you want to go someplace more private? Maybe my place?

Luna: Uh, yeah, I’d love to.

Rj: Okay, I got a meeting in the cutting room, but I’ll meet you downstairs in ten.

Luna: Okay, I’ll be there.

Rj: Okay. See you.

Poppy: Bye. You were going to tell him, weren’t you?

Luna: I hate having this secret between us.

Poppy: Okay, but, luna, if you tell rj that you accidentally slept with zende, you will lose him.

Zende: She’s right, luna. You have to be very careful of what you stand to lose, or gain, if you decide to go down this road.

Hope: Ah, good, we’re alone.

Steffy: I had a cleaning crew specializes in, um…

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I just wanna put this behind us. I really do. I want this house to feel like your home again.

Finn: And I want that, too. At bombas, we’re obsessed with socks.

Poppy: Aren’t you worried? I can’t think of anything else.

Zende: Isn’t that why you have your magic mints? Take the edge off?

Poppy: I am fully aware that I am the reason why luna is in this awful situation. I just wish I kept better track of my mints that evening.

Zende: Yeah, I wish you had, too. Did I want to be with luna? Yes, I don’t deny it, but not the way it happened.

Poppy: I am terrified that luna will tell rj about being with you and she will lose that happiness that she found. Forever.

Luna: I hope you know how much our relationship means to me, and I’d never knowingly do anything to jeopardize it.

Rj: Hey, I’m in this for the long haul. You know that.

Luna: I hope so.

Rj: Is everything alright? Hey, you know what? I’m sorry. We don’t have to talk about that if you don’t want to. You know me. I’m right here to help whenever you need me. But… I do have an idea for something that we can do together that might be the solution to all your problems.

Luna: Yeah? What’s that?

Rj: Night swim?

Thomas: Hey, when you saw steffy earlier, how’d she seem?

Hope: Well, you know your sister. She’s putting on a brave face. Obviously, she’s horrified that she took a life, even if it was in self-defense. And the fact that it is her husband’s birth mother just adds to the guilt.

Thomas: Yeah, sorry. I don’t– I don’t have a lot of patience with finn’s torment over sheila’s demise. I mean, has he forgotten that sheila shot him and his wife, my sister, and left them for dead? Or– or– or the fact that she broke into their house and could have killed his wife? I mean, steffy could be dead right now because of sheila.

Hope: Of course, finn understands that, thomas. But sheila was still his birth mother, I mean, like it or not, there is a connection there. One that finn doesn’t even understand. And you can’t just wish it away. Sheila’s dead because of steffy and that’s hard for him to absorb. So, I just– you know, I just told steffy to try to understand her husband’s feelings.

Steffy: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I’m really glad that you’re home. I’m glad that you want to be here despite everything that happened.

Finn: And everything that I love is in this house. You, the kids, my surfboard.

[ Finn sighs heavily ]

Steffy: You look tired.

Finn: Well, like I said, it’s been a long day.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Where are the kids?

Steffy: Kelly is with liam and hayes is with grandma li. It does give us a night to ourselves. It gives us a chance to reconnect. We need it.

Finn: I know. I’m here.

Zende: Can you bring in those swatches on your way into work tomorrow? Okay. All right, awesome. Thank you. There it is again. Don’t you have somewhere to be? I’m trying to work.

Poppy: Well, excuse me if I’m concerned about my daughter.

Zende: I am too, but there’s nothing that we can do at the moment. Except to keep encouraging her not to tell rj what happened with me by mistake. What? I care about luna and her happiness. I wish she had found it with me, but that’s not how things worked out. Rj is the lucky winner.

Poppy: You talk a good game, I’ll give you that. Not the reason I’m concerned.

Zende: Look, I am not plotting to come in between luna and rj, if that’s what you’re afraid of. However, if he’s stupid enough to lose her or to push her away, I will be there to pick up the pieces. Count on it.

Poppy: Easy there, tiger. Don’t get your hopes up. The only thing that can come between them is if luna tells rj about what happened with you. And I’m going to make sure that she doesn’T. And not to protect herself, but to protect you and your family. Especially your relationship with rj.

Rj: Do you trust me?

Luna: You know I do.

Rj: Well then I’m telling you a night swim is exactly what you need.

Luna: I mean, I’ve never been in the ocean after dark.

Rj: It– it’s a first. That’s even better. Come on!

Luna: I don’t know, rj.

Rj: Listen, I’ll be right there with you. The whole time. Hm? It’ll be fun. Maybe, you know, it’ll take your mind off of whatever’s been bothering you.

Luna: I love how you’re always looking out for me.

Rj: Well, you know, it’s– it’s my job, so… no, come on, what do you say? A night swim always clears my mind. Maybe it’ll do the same for you. And you left your swimsuit here. Wait, do you hear that? I– it’s the ocean. It’s the ocean. It’s calling your name.

Luna: Okay, fine, let’s do it.

Rj: Yes, let’s do it. Come on.

Thomas: You and steffy didn’t get into a fight or anything, did you?

Hope: No. But she wasn’t exactly receptive to me either, which is fine. She’s going through a lot right now, but so is finn. And that was the only point I was trying to make.

Thomas: I’m guessing steffy isn’t exactly receptive of finn’s grief over sheila.

Hope: No. But she also just can’t brush it under the rug and dismiss it. I mean, his feelings are valid. Sheila gave birth to him.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Steffy killed her, and so, obviously, there is going to be a conflict there. I just hope that they can treat it with understanding and compassion.

Thomas: Did you say that to steffy?

Hope: I tried. I’m not sure my delivery was the greatest. Um, and quite frankly, I don’t think steffy even really wanted to hear it coming from me. But, I don’t know, I just– sheila’s death, I really do worry, might create some problems in their marriage.

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

Finn: I think I have an idea.

Steffy: I love you so much. Never forget that.

Finn: No, I never do. I love you too. More than– more than anything, sorry.

Steffy: No, no, no, don’t be. You’re exhausted. So, how about this? Why don’t you just rest up a bit? I’ll hop in the shower and wake you up with a kiss when I’m back, okay?

Finn: I love the sound of that. Hm.

[ Finn sobbing ] (Vo) for over 50 years

[ Zende sighing ]

Rj: Wow. Wow. God, you look amazing.

Luna: You make me feel amazing.

Rj: Come on, you don’t need me for that. You know how special you are. You are beautiful. Inside and out. And you are sweet and you are funny. You’re one of the most honest people I’ve ever met.

Luna: I don’t ever want to do anything to disappoint you. Or not see love in your eyes whenever you look at me.

Rj: It’ll never happen.

Luna: No, I mean it, rj. I mean, you mean everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without you.

Rj: Don’t even think about it. I’m not going anywhere.

Luna: You know, I’m gonna hold you to that.

Rj: Okay.

Luna: In fact, I think I’m just gonna hold you.

Hope: Steffy and finn love each other. They have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful family. And for sheila to cause problems for them, even beyond the grave, is unacceptable. They can’t let her win. I mean, now’s the time that they have to really become devoted to each other. Listen to each other. Or try to act with– with compassion and understanding. And… I just– I don’t know, that’s– that is what I was trying to tell steffy, but she was not ready to hear it. Or at least she did not want to hear it from me.

Thomas: I love how much you care. It shows the kind of kind and compassionate person you are. However, I don’t really wanna spend the rest of the day talking about steffy and finn if we don’t have to. Love always finds a way, right? And they love each other. So, it’s gonna be okay. I mean, look at us. Found a way somehow for us and I will always love you.

Sheila: I love you so much, baby. My son.

[ Echoing ] Son.

Steffy: No. No. No.

[ Steffy and sheila grunting ]

Finn: NO.

Sheila: No, stop.

Finn: Stop, stop.

[ Sheila gasping ]

Finn: No, stop, stop. Stop. Stop, stop.

Sheila: Finn, help me.

Finn: Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Steffy: Finn? Finn, what– what happened? Baby, what happened?

Finn: She was just here– she was– sheila and I saw the– uh, I saw everything. I just saw the knife and the blood. And I saw the– the… I saw everything that happened and– and– and she was– my name and she was– she was– she was– she got– I couldn’t help her.

Steffy: Baby, baby, hey.

Finn: I couldn’t help her I couldn’t save her and I… I just– I just, I…

Steffy: Baby, you were sleeping, okay? Hey, hey. Breathe. Breathe, okay? Breathe. I’m here. You fell asleep on the couch. You had a nightmare. You’re safe. You’re safe now. Oh, god, I hate you’re so tortured by this. But we’re gonna get through this, okay? You and me, like we get through everything. I love you, okay? It’s okay. It’s okay.

Steffy: I came here to work. I don’t need you to lecture me marriage.

Hope: Look, I know you’re dealing with a lot.

Steffy: And it seems like you’re piling more on me.

Hope: I understand. It’s painful enough as it is already. It’s just, I– I see what finn is going through and I’m just urging you, steffy, to please don’t allow sheila’s death to come between you and finn.

Liam: Steffy needed you, you know. And you walked out on her.

Finn: I don’t owe you an explanation, liam.

Liam: Okay, you got one for steffy then? ‘Cause she has no idea what’s going on with you. In fact, nobody does. Lamenting sheila like she’s this significant part of your life? Like, what are you– you know what? It’s fine. It’s fine. Steffy’s gonna be fine because I’ll be there. I mean, she needs someone she can count on, finn. And if it’s not you, it’s me.

Luna: Oh, my god. What happened? What– what am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what I asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it, but… you do know that what happened between us, what we shared, it was consensual, right? I would never–

Luna: I know that. But it doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did. But now? What have I done?

Poppy: So, this is where you’ve been hiding?

Luna: I’m working, mom. I’m busy.

Poppy: Too busy to answer my texts? I just wanna know that you’re okay, sweetheart.

Luna: I’m not. Not even close. Your mints turned my entire life upside down.

Poppy: Luna, I am so sorry.

Luna: Your apologies won’t fix anything, mom. I slept with zende thinking that he was rj. And now this secret is… it’s tearing me apart. I love rj. I mean, doesn’t he deserve to know the truth?

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hey, zende.

Zende: Bad time?

Rj: No, no, it’s fine. I just took a shower from a beach swim. It’s okay, come in. So, what’s up?

Zende: I thought we should talk.

Rj: About what? About work?

Zende: No, we can talk shop at the office. I came to see you here in private.

Rj: You want to talk to me in private? Why do you need to talk to me in private?

Zende: There are some things you need to hear.

Rj: What do I need to hear, zende?

Zende: I wanna make sure you understand how lucky you are to be dating luna.

Poppy: You can’t tell rj that you slept with zende.

Luna: Okay, so what am I supposed to do? What, I’m supposed to keep this secret locked up forever?

Poppy: Yes.

Luna: I don’t think I can do that. I don’t think I can keep what happened with zende from rj.

Finn: Do I have to remind you that it’s my wife that you are talking about?

Liam: No, I think I have to remind you it’s your wife I’m talking about. It’s like you’ve forgotten how lucky you are just to have her in your life.

Finn: I haven’t forgotten. I’ll never forget how blessed I am to have steffy in my life. And I don’t blame her for what happened. It’s complicated. But, frankly, it’s none of your damn business. You don’t know what I’m going through. Yes, we are all relieved that sheila is gone. But my birth mother is dead.

Steffy: Don’t act like you know more about this than I do. It happened to me.

Hope: I– all I’m trying to say is that I think it might be affecting finn a little more than maybe even you realize.

Steffy: You are overstepping right now.

Hope: Fine, fine, all right. Just trying to help, okay? I– I– I get that you might not understand what finn is going through. I just hope that you will try to respect it.

Steffy: I know finn is tormented by this. So am I. More than you could possibly imagine. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Rj: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me how amazing my girlfriend is. I– I know. She’s my girlfriend.

Zende: She’s a lot more than that, rj. She is smart and beautiful. Ambitious. Granddad thinks there’s a real future for her at forrester. And so do I. I know you like hanging out with her, spending time. Luna is special. I’m not sure you’re fully aware of that.

Rj: I’m completely aware of it. What I’m not sure is that you fully understand that we’re not just hanging out and having fun, zende. We’re in a committed relationship. And I– I don’t understand what it is that you’re saying or that you’re not saying, but luna and I are happy, okay? And you’re never going to be with her.

Poppy: Telling the truth can devastate rj.

Lun yeah,ut it’ the right thing do.

Poppy: Who benefits?No one if you’re questioning your relationship with rj.

Luna: No, I’m not. I love him.

Poppy: Then why hurt him by telling him something that you can’t change? For something that didn’t mean anything to you? Spare yourself this pain.

Luna: Mom, I’m not keeping this a secret to protect myself, mom. I mean, every single time I’m with rj, so good to me and I don’t wanna undermine rj and zende’s relationship. I mean, they’re– they’re like the next generation of forresters.

Finn: Steffy and I don’t need you or anyone telling us how to cope with this.

Liam: You’re not coping. You could cope at home. You’re bailing.

Finn: I told you, it is complicated.

Liam: Okay, then let me simplify it for you. Steffy shouldn’t be fighting through this all on her own.

Finn: And I shouldn’t be getting a warning from you. None of this is fair. My birth mother was stabbed to death in my home by my wife. I love steffy. I know sheila broke in, and steffy was defending herself, and I want to be there for her, but yes, I am struggling right now and I don’t need you to be putting me on blast for it.

Liam: Okay, I tried. Guess I can’t get through. One for the road. Don’t neglect steffy. Don’t take your marriage to her for granted like I did.

Finn: Because you’re waiting in the wings. Do you think that you’re being honorable? Giving me fair warning? Coming in here, interfering, acting like you know what steffy needs? What we need is privacy and some time to work this out. And we will. You got that, liam? Nothing and no one will come between steffy and me.

Hope: Steffy, I’m sorry. I am not trying to be insensitive. You acted out of self-defense. Everybody knows that, even finn.

Steffy: I still took a life. That’s the truth. Even though it was self-defense, even though I was trying to protect myself, it doesn’t change the fact that I watched a life leave someone’s body. That’s on me. I did that. And every time I close my eyes, that is all I see. Me killing her.

Is it menopause

or something else?

Hope: Steffy, I… I apologize. This wasn’t the time or place to talk about this. I was really not trying to upset you.

Steffy: Well, I appreciate your concern about finn and my marriage, but I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Hope: I understand that I don’t know how you’re feeling, and how this is gonna impact the both of you. All I know is that I talked to finn and saw a man wrestling with himself. He’s confused. He’s hurting. And I just was trying to give you the heads up and let you know.

Steffy: We are grappling with a very difficult situation. It’s emotional. It is painful. But it’s not insurmountable. We have gotten through many storms together. We’re gonna get through this one. We’ll be stronger. I’m not gonna let this disrupt my life with finn.

Rj: Have you said what you need to say? Because I have to go to the office and do some work and say hi to my girlfriend. Okay?

Zende: I’d feel the same way if I were you.

Rj: Listen to me. I don’t want to argue with you. We used to be close, and we still can be. But you need to lay off and respect my relationship with luna.

Luna: The forresters are a wonderful family. And they all love each other. They do, but when there’s tension between them, I mean, it affects everything.

Poppy: That’s true of every family.

Luna: Yeah, well, the nozawas aren’t exactly running an international fashion house.

Poppy: You don’t wanna mess things up.

Luna: I already have.

Poppy: But telling rj the truth can make things so much worse.

Luna: I know. I know. You don’t want me to mess up my future with rj. And you don’t want me to mess up my job at forrester, but… that’s not why I’m not telling him the truth. I mean, I’m fully willing to face the consequences of my actions.

Poppy: You didn’t know what you were doing.

Luna: I didn’t have a choice then, but I do now. But, I don’t know, as… as much as I want to tell rj the truth, I don’t want to ruin his whole life and his family. I don’t want to be the reason why zende and rj can’t work together. And I won’t mess up eric’s collection. I mean, that’s just– that’s way too important. To eric, to his sons and his grandsons. And rj has worked so hard to get zende on board. And I know that they’re trying to rebuild their connection, and I just– I can’t disrupt that.

Poppy: So, we agree. You’ll keep this secret?

Luna: You make it sound so simple. But this is hell, mom. I mean, I’m terrified that this is gonna ruin every good thing in my life, ’cause that’s what secrets do.

Poppy: No, sweetheart.

Luna: Like yours did to me. I don’t know, it felt like everything was finally coming together. And then one night, a decision that I didn’t even have any control over– and now everything is different. And I don’t know if it’ll ever be the same again.

[ Knock on door ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I had to see you, steff. I just– I miss you so much. My doctorrecommends

Poppy: Honey, look at me. It’s gonna be all right.

Luna: I don’t know, mom.

Poppy: Well, I do. Because I know you. I know your heart. I know you’re a good person. Okay, you want to do the right thing.

Luna: But am I? Like, this doesn’t feel right, keeping this secret and lying to rj.

Poppy: It’s not a lie. You love rj. Hey, that’s true. That hasn’t changed.

Luna: But it has. I slept with zende and that’s always gonna be there, right under the surface.

Poppy: Zende has agreed not to say anything, and neither should you. You made a mistake. It doesn’t have to destroy everything. Okay, I can see you’re still not sure, but honey, you can’t tell rj. Please, tell me you understand that.

[ Door opens ]

Rj: Hey. Hi, you.

Luna: Hey.

Rj: Hello.

Zende: We’re just coming from rj’s place. I just wanted to stop by, let him know how lucky he is to be dating someone as wonderful as you, luna.

Poppy: You’re both lucky to have each other.

Luna: Um, yeah. Yeah, it makes me like a little emotional, actually. You know, thinking about everything that I have to be grateful for. Especially you, rj. And how happy we are together, and… all the things we have to look forward to. I mean, I never want to do anything to hurt you or let you down.

Rj: You never could.

Steffy: I’m really glad you’re here. I know it’s hard to be at the house right now.

Finn: Yeah, look, I don’t want this to keep me away from you and the kids.

Steffy: I know. And I agree.

Finn: I– I know it’s– it’s hard for you to understand and– and accept. And I– I wish I could explain what I’m feeling. I just… I’m struggling right now, um, with sheila’s death. And I don’t blame you, okay? Not at all. It just– it feels like something’s missing. Like a connection’s been cut.

Steffy: Between us?

Finn: No, no, no. Not between us. Just between my birth mother and me.

Steffy: I know you’re struggling. I’m struggling too. I killed someone, finn. I took someone’s life. And… what have I done? All I see is just the paramedics there trying to save her. And I was just– I was in shock. I was in shock. I was unable to breathe. And no matter what sheila’s done to us, it still doesn’t change the fact that I– I killed someone. I killed someone. And I’m really trying to come to terms with that, but I just can’t get this memory– I can’t get this memory out of my head. Like, it haunts me.

Finn: Just– we can’t let this tear us apart.

Steffy: No. No. No, we can’t let it tear us apart. We can’T. But will you ever be able to look at me the same way? I– I don’t even know if I can look at myself the same. I am so sorry. I’m so, so sorry. So sorry.

Li: Please, stop talking like this.

Finn: No, mom, look, of course I consider you my real mother. All right, but sheila, she– she gave birth to me.

Li: And she almost killed you and steffy and me, so please just snap out of it. Sheila gave you nothing but pain, finn. Pain and heartache, and now finally she’s gone.

Finn: Because of my wife.

Li: Your wife fought to save herself, finn. Survived a terrible ordeal. Be grateful she’s alive.

Finn: No, um, I mean, I am.

Li: Then, wake up. Get over these feelings you have about sheila carter before you do something foolish to alienate steffy.

Steffy: Liam, you’ve been amazing. Thank you so much for being here and just listening to me and watching kelly for a few days while I figure this out.

Liam: Of course I’m here, where else would I be? There’s nowhere else I wanna be.

Steffy: I just feel so guilty. I mean, god, I killed someone. Who wouldn’t feel guilty?

Liam: Yeah, but you were ambushed. There was literally no alternative.

Steffy: Liam, there was nothing I could’ve done differently.

Liam: Exactly, and everybody knows that.

Steffy: Not everyone.

Liam: Okay, everybody, but finn knows that. Okay, listen, I know he’s, like, having a moment right now, but you’re the one who almost died. And what you need more than anything is understanding. Something you should be getting from your husband.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Yeah?

Hope: Dad?

Deacon: Hey, hope.

Hope: Uh, hollis called and said you went to the morgue today, and I figured you could use some company.

Deacon: Want a drink?

Hope: I, uh, wanted to see how you were holding up. I know sheila meant something to you.

Deacon: She still does. Look, I– I know this isn’t your favorite topic, so… when I found out she was gone, she was dead, I just– I had to go see her. I had to say goodbye, just… see her face one more time.

Li: Let it go. Sheila could never be what you wanted. This image you have as a loving, nurturing birth mother, she– it’s– it’s ludicrous.

Finn: Look, that’s not the way that I saw her. But look, I mean, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for sheila.

Li: Yes, if it wasn’t for her affair with your father. I’m very thankful she gave us you, but she almost took you away that night in the alley.

Finn: I know.

Li: Do you?

Finn: Yes.

Li: Then, how do you have any sympathy for that maniac?

Finn: I mean, like it or not, she’s part of my past. She’s my roots.

Li: All you shared was dna, nothing more.

Finn: So what, I should just be celebrating?

Li: No, that’s not what I’m saying. But you shouldn’t be mourning her either. Finn, does steffy know how you feel?

Finn: Yeah, I– I told her that it’s complicated for me. Not just that my birth mother is dead. It’s who killed her.

Liam: Finn has always straddled this line when it comes to sheila. And now, he’s walking out on you because of an attack on you?

Steffy: Well, he is still dealing with a lot right now.

Liam: I don’t care. This is his life that he chose. This is his home. You are his wife, for better or worse. Why isn’t he here?

Steffy: He said he’s trying to figure this all out. And I am trying to put myself in his shoes. We have survived many things. We can survive this. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Deacon: You must think I’m nuts caring about someone who hurt so many people.

Hope: I’m not here to judge you, dad. I came here because I love you. And yes, while I didn’t have room in my heart for sheila… I certainly have room for you and always will.

Deacon: Wow, I just realized, hope, that you’re the only person I have in this world. You and the kids. And I just hope you know how much you all mean to me. I– I know I haven’t always done right by you. And I’m sure talking about my connection to sheila’s about the last thing you want to do.

Hope: I’m not going to lie to you and pretend like it– it wasn’t upsetting. I mean, it felt like you were making excuses for her. It felt like you were choosing her over us.

Deacon: I– I really am sorry. I never meant to do that. And, you know, the fact that i caused you pain, that kills me.

Hope: Dad, look, in spite of my contempt for sheila, I’m still, you know, I understand that there are going to be people in this world that mourn her.

Deacon: Besides me, I can’t think of anyone in this world who’s gonna mourn sheila.

Hope: I can think of one person who cared about sheila. Finn.

Finn: Look, it’s a lot to absorb, knowing what steffy did.

Li: What sheila forced her to do.

Finn: And I’m not– not blaming steffy for defending herself. I just– I– I don’t know, I just wish it didn’t have to be this way.

Li: If sheila stayed away like you asked her to, sheila would still be alive. Steffy didn’t go looking for trouble. Sheila put her in that position. She broke into your home.

Finn: And I wish I knew why.

Li: Why, because she’s a murderous stalker! That’s why! Listen, honey, I know you want to make sense of all of this. But you never will. None of it. Right now, you need to focus on being a good husband.

Finn: I’m doing the best I can. All right, you think I like being apart from my wife?

Li: Apart?

Finn: Yeah, I slept here last night. You left your wife alone? She was attacked, finn. She almost lost her life. You have all this compassion for sheila. Where’s your compassion for your wife? Finn, what’s going on with you? You need to get your head on straight. Before you cause permanent damage to your marriage.

Steffy: Honestly, liam, I just want finn to come home and work through this together. I mean, we’re both hurting right now. We’re struggling. But I know our love is stronger and more powerful than anything when we’re together.

Liam: Well, I give you a lot of credit for trying to understand where he’s coming from. But there is no excuse for him having even an ounce of pity for sheila because he’s got a wife and kids.

Steffy: There’s no doubt in my mind that finn cares about me and the kids.

Liam: I’m not implying he doesn’t care. But he has obligations here in this home. He has a duty to prioritize you and the kids. And he’s not. So, I’ll tell you this much. Whether finn is out there moping or here, I’m here. You can count on me. You and kelly and hayes can always count on me. (Imitating chicken clucks)

Hope: And when I came here to tell you about sheila, I was shocked when I walked in and I just– I saw finn sitting here just holding a photo of sheila. And he was so upset.

Deacon: I– I didn’t realize how deep his feelings for sheila ran. You know, the saddest irony of this whole thing is that more than anything, sheila wanted to be accepted and loved. And now, she’s not here to see that finn really did love her.

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know, I love you. And you know that I, um, I feel about you. And you know that I just I want to get back to our– our beautiful little life, but I’m sorry, I can’T. Steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn, finn, finn. What are you doing? Finn.

Liam: Hi, john.

Finn: Ugh. Um, not now, liam. Um, I’m not in the mood.

Liam: Totally respect that, which is why I’m not gonna stay too long.

Finn: Are you not hearing me? Now is not a good time. I have a lot going on.

Liam: Yeah, no, I heard about what happened at your house.

Finn: What happened? Sheila died, liam.

Liam: Good thing steffy’s okay, though, right?

Finn: Yeah, I’m more thankful than anyone that she’s okay.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause I don’t know, I kinda feel like, I don’t know, you would be there then.

Finn: Excuse me?

Liam: I don’t get you. Like, I know that you’re going through a thing right now, but…

Finn: Uh, I am. So give me a minute. Do I not have the right to process this?

Liam: Yeah, I’m just not sure. What’s the thing that you’re processing? Is it the fact that your psychopath mother is dead? Or the fact that you walked out on your wife?

Steffy: Sheila, I know it’s you. Get out! I’ll do it!

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Steffy. I, uh, I didn’t think you would come in today.

Steffy: Yeah, I just had to, uh, I had to get out of the house.

Hope: I’m so, so sorry for what you’ve been through.

Steffy: It’s really upsetting to say the least. I, um, I can’t get sheila out of my head. I can’T. The way she lunged at me. I was only trying to protect myself.

Hope: I’m sure that was– is incredibly traumatizing. I mean, knowing that you had to kill someone. I can’t believe one bottle of tide

Liam: I was, uh, I was just with steffy.

Finn: You never waste an opportunity.

Liam: Yes, who happens to be my, uh, child’s mother.

Finn: Whatever, man. Can you, um, can you just stay away from my wife?

Liam: No, that’s not gonna work because then we’re both gonna be staying away from your wife and I’m actually concerned about steffy and the kids.

Finn: Well, don’t be. My birth mother, sheila, she’s dead.

Liam: Yeah, why do you do that? You’re trying to play it cool with me, but I know that you see sheila as this, like, warm, fuzzy, benevolent presence in your life. And do you know how that makes steffy feel? It’s alarming. It’s– it’s disloyal.

Finn: Okay, that’s– that’s enough, liam. Why don’t you just mind your own business, okay? This doesn’t concern you.

Liam: You really– you don’t have any idea how lucky you are. I mean, steffy is– is at home doing her best to wrap her head around this bizarre mama’s boy relationship you have with sheila, when any other woman put in that situation with that particular person would’ve dumped your ass, ages ago.

Finn: You don’t have to tell me how amazing steffy is. I’m well aware.

Liam: See, yeah, I was confused because instead of acting like it, you’re seemingly blaming her for almost getting murdered.

Finn: I am not blaming her.

Liam: She was protecting herself. She was protecting your family for you and you are hiding away here. Now, I’ve never understood your relationship with sheila. But this, you prioritizing your grief over her instead of taking care of your wife and kids.

Finn: That’s not what I’m doing.

Liam: No, it is what you’re doing. It is exactly what you’re doing, finn. You’re just lying to yourself about it. And it’s no wonder steffy feels so alone. Wait, she’s not alone. Because she has me. Well, there it is. Do I have your attention now? You see, I’m gonna do everything I can to make steffy feel safe and supported. And if you’re not up to that task, I’m the man she’s gonna start turning to.

Steffy: None of this has been easy for me, hope. Sheila broke into my home and went after me.

Hope: No, I– I know the details. You don’t need to relive that night. All I was trying to say, rather poorly, was that I– I can’t even begin to understand what you must be feeling. I mean, you had to kill someone. I mean, I don’t even think that I could do something like that.

Steffy: What is this? I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to have to grab the knife. But I needed to survive. It was either her or me. I had to protect myself.

Hope: No, of course.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that she shot me before?

Hope: No!

Steffy: Then, what is this? It’s like a weird vibe I am getting from you.

Hope: I– it’s– steffy, sheila has hurt my family too. She’s hurt my mom. I haven’t forgotten that.

Steffy: Let me tell you something. You would have done the exact same thing if you were in my situation.

Hope: I am sure that it was absolutely terrifying. I am sure that all you could think about was the children.

Steffy: Sheila tried to take me away from my children. I wasn’t gonna let that happen again.

Hope: I am just– I’m trying to say that I understand this is a very heavy burden to bear. I was just talking to my dad and he was saying that… look, roll your eyes at my dad and his feelings for sheila all you want. That’s fine. Just please don’t make that mistake with finn.

Steffy: What does this have to do with my marriage?

Hope: I saw finn. And we talked and… despite your feelings for sheila, steffy, finn still has a very real connection to her. And I am just trying to say finn is a good man. Steffy, please just be patient with him. Give him some time to grieve and to process this. I mean, we all– we all couldn’t stand sheila. But at the same time, I mean, that is still finn’s mother. I mean, he– he wouldn’t exist without her. So, I just– I hope you will try to be, I don’t know, just sympathetic to the fact that this is a very complex, difficult time for finn. He’s just in a very vulnerable place right now. I just hope that you will be careful. Steffy, please don’t let sheila’s death interfere with your marriage.

Steffy: What?

Cleaner: I’m sure this is a very difficult time for you, but… you really can’t be alone. Is your husband home?

Steffy: No. My husband’s not here.

Steffy: She’s gone, finn. Sheila’s dead. It was either her or me. I didn’t– I didn’t have time to think. I just– I just reacted. I– I had to survive.

Li: I can’t believe it. Sheila carter’s actually dead?

Eric: How’s steffy holding up?

Ridge: You know her. She’s strong, resilient.

Eric: No, yeah. But something like this.

Donna: Yeah, I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for steffy, to…

Eric: What an ordeal for her to have to go through. That she had to do what she had to do. Wow. Sheila carter’s finally dead.

Pathologist: Can I help you?

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, I’m deacon sharpe. I’m here to pay my respects to sheila carter.

Donna: It’s just so hard to believe.

Eric: Sheila carter’s finally out of our lives.

Ridge: The paramedics confirmed it. Sheila’s dead.

Pathologist: Since the police investigation is ongoing, the deceased’s body will remain here at the morgue.

Deacon: Right. Dr. Finnegan set this up for me. He thinks I need closure. Sheila and I were engaged to be married.

Finn: How’s hayes? Did he sleep okay?

Li: Yeah. Don’t worry about hayes. He loves spending time with grandma li.

Finn: Hm. He’s with brooke now?

Li: Yeah. Yeah, I had a meeting I couldn’t reschedule, but as soon as it’s over, I’ll go pick him up. Right now, though, I’m concerned for you. And steffy, of course. I hate that it happened the way it did. But I’m not sorry sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I, uh, I really appreciate everything. Cleaning my home and making it feel safe again.

Cleaner: Sorry you’re going through something so traumatic.

Steffy: Thanks.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Liam: Yeah, I heard.

Donna: What sheila did was– was crazy. And breaking in like that and taunting and terrorizing steffy.

Eric: Well, steffy did what she had to do. She had to stop sheila.

>>Idge: , She stopped her,: Is there anything that we can do? I mean, I’m sure steffy’s getting a lot of support. Especially from finn, but…

Ridge: Yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you?

Eric: You saying he’s not being supportive?

Ridge: Listen, I like the kid and I respect him. But I’m confused why he’s so distraught by this woman dying.

Finn: Can we just not talk about sheila right now?

Li: Believe me, I’d like nothing more now that she’s finally out of our lives.

Finn: Well, she’s gone, mom. Okay? So just let it go.

Li: Let it go? After all that woman did? She went after steffy. Again. Intent on making sure she didn’t make it this time. Thank god steffy did. That she finally took out that sick, twisted psychopath for good. Sheila carter finally got what she deserved.

Liam: I mean, kelly’s doing great. She loves staying with me and her grandpa bill. Not that she doesn’t miss her mom and her little brother. I just think it’s probably best she stay with me for now.

Steffy: Yeah. Thank god she wasn’t here.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure she never finds out about it, but news these days.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. It travels fast. I’m sure she’s gonna hear things at school.

Liam: Well, try not to think too much about that. That’s the least of your worries. Just focus on getting past this and moving on.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. That’s exactly what my mom said when we video chatted. It’s just strange being here. Where it happened. I mean, sheila’s blood on the floor. But thankfully, the cleaners were here to take care of it.

Liam: Yeah, I saw that. Going out to the van.

Steffy: Hm. Just so much pain, you know, and heartache. It’s all because of sheila. I just never thought it was gonna end.

Liam: Well, it has. ‘Cause she’s dead. And she’s never gonna hurt anyone you care about ever again. I– I know that what you’ve just been through is traumatic. But please, steffy, please never doubt that you did the right thing. Please never doubt that you did exactly what you should’ve done. By killing her.

Deacon: It’s so cold in here. Um… look, I probably, uh, know the answer to this, but I’m gonna ask anyway. Has anyone else been here to see her? Anyone? God, I miss her so much. I’m probably the only one. I’m sorry I don’t even know why I’m saying this to you.

Pathologist: Sometimes it’s easier to open up to someone you don’t know. Would you like to see her now?

Deacon: Yeah.

Pathologist: I’ll give you a moment alone.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell happened?

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Donna: Well, as horrible as sheila was, I mean she did give birth to finn.

Ridge: Yes, she did. And then she shot him and steffy in cold blood and left them in an alley to die. Not exactly mother of the year material.

Eric: No. But finn grew up never knowing who his birth mother was.

Ridge: Well, he knows who she was now. The woman who tried to kill his wife, twice. And you know what? Finn should be there for steffy right now and I don’t think he is.

Li: Karma’s a bitch. Sheila’s hurt so many people, it’s about time justice finally caught up with her. Quite frankly, I was beginning to think it never would. That her reign of terror will go on and on, but no more. Someone finally stopped her. Steffy finally stopped her. Which seems almost fitting. Sheila dying at your wife’s hands, given what sheila did behind that restaurant. Pointing a gun at steffy, then pulling the trigger, leaving her and you both for dead. But that’s who sheila was. Heartless, soulless, vile.

Finn: Okay, can you just stop? Stop, mom. Sheila was a person, a human being, and now she’s dead. My birth mother is dead.

Liam: Steffy, you did what anyone in your position would and should have done. It’s black and white. You defended yourself. The woman wanted you dead, right? She probably thought that she’d have finn and hayes all to herself if you were out of the picture.

Steffy: Believe me, I know that, liam. But I– I took a life. I mean, that’s not who I am.

Liam: What if kelly were here? She could’ve been hurt. She could’ve been kidnapped. Or worse. Every single one of you was in jeopardy as long as sheila was alive and breathing. And because of you, none of us ever have to worry about her again.

Deacon: Sheila carter. I– I don’t understand this. Sheila, I– I saw you change. I saw it with my own eyes. I just don’t understand. How did this happen?

Not flossing well?

Deacon: You’re so peaceful. Which is almost funny because that’s about the last word I’d ever use to describe you. I never told you this, but i used to always think of you like a beautiful rainstorm. Unpredictable, never boring. One minute, chaotic and relentless, and the next, exhilarating and intoxicating. I’ve always, um, felt like I was alone, even in a room full of people. I just got used to not needing anybody. And then I met– then I met you. And I needed you. And I didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Because I knew what I was supposed to do next. I was gonna stand by you, no matter what. But now, I– I don’t know what to do next. I’m never gonna forget you. You are always gonna be a part of me, sheila. Do you think I could see her face? Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Donna: Wait, what do you mean finn isn’t with steffy?

Eric: What is this, ridge? What’s going on?

Ridge: Well, finn can’t come to terms with the fact that his wife had to defend herself and kill his birth mother. He should be with steffy right now. And he’s not.

Li: I am your mother, finn. Not sheila.

Finn: Of course you are. But I just–

Li: No buts. What’s– what’s going on with you? If you’re reacting this way with me, I can only imagine what steffy’s thinking.

Liam: Well, uh, yeah. I shouldn’t stay long. I imagine finn will be home soon and I don’t wanna cause any tension. That’s probably the last thing you need right now, so. Steffy?

Steffy: Yeah. Finn will be home soon, won’t he?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know if and when my husband’s coming home.

Liam: What are you talking about?

Steffy: God. Finn is struggling with sheila’s death. He, um… he says that I’m responsible.

Liam: Oh, really? Finn is struggling? He’s struggling? Such a struggle for him. I don’t care. That is ridiculous. I don’t care that she’s his birth mother. She tried to kill you. You were defending yourself and his entire focus right now should be on you and the kids. How does he not understand that?

Steffy: No, no. I mean, he does. I mean, this whole… god. This whole situation is really disturbing and it’s emotionally challenging. Like, I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t want sheila in here. But she gave me no choice. I had to grab a knife. I had to protect myself.

Liam: Yes. Exactly. You had to do what you had to do to survive. You’re not doing anything wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re not this horrible human being that was sheila. This is the whole point. That’s who she was. Everybody understands that. Everybody gets that. So, it’s kind of beyond me why finn doesn’T. You know what else is beyond me? That he isn’t here right now. Because I’m here. I’m here for whatever you want, whenever you want it. My love and support is free.

Steffy: Thank you. Thank you for just listening to me and being here.

Li: Steffy is your wife. She needs you now more than ever.
