>> Steffy: Mm-hmm. >> Finn: Just you and me.
>> Steffy: Yeah. Mm, but you have to go?
>> Finn: Yeah. I need to get to the hospital.
>> Steffy: Well, don't let me stop you.
>> Finn: You're not gonna make this easy on me, are you?
>> Steffy: No, me? Not really.
>> Finn: Pick this up later. >> Steffy: We better.
[ Finn chuckling ] >> Steffy: But you're right,
I do have to get ready and start going.
>> Finn: Mm. >> Steffy: Whew.
>> Finn: Yeah, you got a big day, right?
The new Forrester dream team is back.
>> Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I'm still-- I'm getting used to
Hope and Thomas working together.
>> Finn: Yeah, not just for you. Oh, I bet, you know?
Liam, too. >> Steffy: Wonder how Liam
took the news. >> Deacon: Are you telling me
that after-- after everything Thomas has done to Hope and
to your family, what? That she just changes her mind?
Gives him another chance? >> Liam: Deacon, I try--
I tried to get through to her. I brought up all the heinous
stuff Thomas has done, it didn't matter. She's--
she thinks he's a changed man. >> Wyatt: Yeah, which is the
one thing he's incapable of. >> Deacon: Well, I-- Listen,
speaking from experience, Hope does try to find
the good in everyone. >> Liam & Wyatt: We know.
>> Liam: It's just, we just don't need this right now,
right? Like, we-- Like, we've got enough on our plate
with our dad. >> Wyatt: Yeah, but you--
you focus on Hope and the kids, all right? I will worry about
Dad and his newfound relationship with Sheila.
♪♪♪ >> Sheila: I-- I just--
I can't believe that this is real. You saved me.
You opened up your heart. After everything that I did,
you are my hero, Bill. >> Bill: We're two of a kind.
Never forget that. I know I may seem a bit withdrawn,
at times, but that's just me. Make no mistake, this is
the best thing that ever happened to me. I need this.
And I'm here for whatever you need. Even if it's just
an ear. You can talk to me.
I'll never judge you. ♪♪♪
>> Finn: Look, I get your concerns with Liam and Thomas.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but okay, part of me just, like part of
me feels a little bit worried about Hope. I was talking
to Paris yesterday, and Paris is really excited that Thomas
is back on as lead designer of Hope for the Future,
but she also asked me if Hope had issues with it.
>> Finn: I mean, we all wondered that.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but this is different. Hope admitted to
Paris not too long ago that she thought Thomas was hot.
And I completely forgot about that.
>> Finn: That was innocent though, right?
>> Steffy: As co-CEO, I just-- I need to make sure. I mean,
I'm really happy that things are working out for Thomas.
You know, I'm the one who encouraged Hope and Thomas
to collaborate again. This isn't something I--
I can just ignore. Like, on some level,
Hope is attracted to Thomas. >> Finn: And you think that
could be trouble for Hope and Liam?
♪♪♪ >> Liam: As difficult as it is,
Hope asked me to trust her. And the truth is, she needs
my love and support right now. >> Deacon: Even though you're
completely opposed to my daughter working with Thomas.
>> Liam: Well, the last time this happened, the more
I fought it the more I just pushed Hope away. And I--
and I'm damn sure not gonna let Thomas come between us.
And besides, Hope said that-- that if he starts up with any
of his old tricks, she'd cut him right off.
>> Wyatt: That doesn't keep you from stressing about it.
>> Liam: Of course not. >> Wyatt: Well, Hope saying
that she's taking a chance on Thomas is like Dad telling us
over and over again, "Oh, Sheila can be trusted.
I can handle it. Don't worry." >> Liam: But it's not like
that, 'cause here's the difference. With Hope,
she really does naturally see the good in everyone.
Even to her own detriment. Dad, I-- Like, he's Mr. Never
Trust Anyone, so something is obviously off there.
♪♪♪ >> Sheila: You know, everyone
in this town, they think that I'm a maniac. That I have no
regrets or-- or remorse for what I've done.
>> Bill: That's because they don't know you like I do.
You're ashamed of your past, I'm ashamed of mine.
>> Sheila: Yeah, I'd just like to bury it.
>> Bill: Uh-uh. No. We can't. The only way to truly deal
with it is by being open. That's the gift you've given
me. I didn't have that with Katie and Brooke. They didn't
understand the darkness that lives inside of me, but you do.
And I understand yours as well. I've done bad things
too, Sheila. >> Sheila: Nothing like I have.
>> Bill: I love you. And there's nothing you can do or say
that will change that. ♪♪♪
>> Finn: So, you're worried that Hope's attraction to
Thomas might turn into something deeper?
>> Steffy: No-- I don't know. I-- I-- I know that Hope loves
Liam, and she's committed to him--
>> Finn: But... >> Steffy: I'm just wondering
how she's gonna be able to work with Thomas.
How it's gonna affect her. >> Finn: What? And you're
worried about Hope? I'm conf-- Thomas is the one with
the obsession. >> Steffy: Yeah, but she knew
that he was obsessed with her, and she still said that
she was attracted to him. >> Finn: Oh, so she can so
easily say how hot she thinks your brother is that she might--
>> Steffy: Well, maybe there are just other things under
the surface. Other feelings. Maybe that's one of the reasons
why she's been able to forgive him.
[ Steffy sighing ] >> Finn: Are you sure this is a
good idea to bring Thomas back? >> Steffy: Yeah, I-- I want
Hope For The Future to succeed. I just wonder what this means
for Hope and Liam. ♪♪♪
>> Wyatt: I just don't get how Dad could be with a monster
like Sheila. Just the thought, the two of them in each
other's arms. >> Liam: Trust me, I-- I'm at
a loss, too. I tried, I really tried to get him
to help me understand-- >> Wyatt: What? That his new
type is a nine-toed homicidal maniac?
>> Liam: Which is gross. >> Wyatt: Yes--
>> Deacon: Hey, uh, guys, actually I-- I'm gonna have
to excuse myself. I'm expecting a call,
so you're good? >> Wyatt: Oh-- oh.
>> Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, of course. Uh, thank you for
the meal. It was excellent. >> Wyatt: The pasta was
phenomenal. Thank you. Just the thought of that
psycho in Dad's house sucking face.

yeah, this checks every box." ♪♪♪

free from persecution and that's meant everything.
I want the same for you. You don't have to be afraid.
I've told you some of the worst that I have done.
>> Bill: Dumping Ridge from that helicopter.
Cool him off. [ helicopter whirring ]
I wanted to kill him. Part of me still does.
I've never said that to anyone. >> Sheila: I know what you're
trying to do, Bill. >> Bill: Blowing up Spectra
Fashions' building with Liam and Sally inside.
I could've killed my own son. Does that sound familiar?
I-- I can't tell you how-- how freeing this is. I--
I've never felt so whole. And I want that for you.
>> Sheila: Bill, I-- >> Bill: O-- o-- opening up
is-- is hard, but I knew you could handle it. And so can I.

It's been healing for me and it will be healing for you

I want to forget it. >> Bill: Forget or repress?

can be so good. >> Steffy: Yeah, and so chaotic

bizarre for you when you first moved in.
We would have this incredible night of passion,
and then I would be kind of quiet and withdrawn.

be myself with anyone before. It's hard for me to wrap
my head around that, but now I feel so free.
