Deacon and Sheila. >> Thomas: Yeah,

knows he should have cut all ties with Sheila
from the very beginning and instead he just,
he chooses to give her hope. I mean, hugging her

And we've come so far. Don't throw it away

what she wants and what she needs.
Dad, she-- she is using you. She is manipulating you
and the minute that you've given all
that you can give her, she will be gone

Which is why Finn has to act like a real husband

like a real husband with Hope when you ran away as soon
as things got a little tough? Yeah. Sure.
How the hell do you think you're gonna protect my sister
from Sheila better than Finn?

I don't know what else to tell you.
