>> Sheila: No, I am telling the truth. I'm not a danger to
you or your family. >> Steffy: You're a liar.
>> Sheila: What, I'm the threat? She said it to me.
She looked me right in the face and said she wished your mother
was dead. Finn, son, you know
how wrong that is. I have changed.
>> Finn: Steffy's right, Sheila. You need to stay away from
us and our family. >> Sheila: So I-- I live here,
with Deacon, and I'm minding my own business, and it's okay
for Steffy to come over and punch me in the face
whenever she wants and I'm the problem?
>> Finn: You shoved her first. Okay, you know what, no
we're not-- we're not doing this.
>> Steffy: No, you're-- you're never gonna come near
me or my family again. Ever.

check that? >> Hope: Yeah, I should, um.
Sorry, it's just an old reminder.
>> Thomas: An old reminder that makes you sad?
>> Hope: It's just an alarm I used to set for myself
to remind me to help my dad close up the restaurant.
Used to be our bonding time thing that we would do,
but those days are long gone now that Sheila is
lurking around. >> Thomas: Hope, I'm sorry
you're missing father-daughter time because of her.
>> Hope: Me too, but that's the sad reality.
You know, as long as my dad is involved with a psycho,
he has to keep his distance from the kids and me.
>> Deacon: I'm guessing we're not having sandwiches
for dinner. You okay? >> Sheila: I have every right
to be upset. Steffy comes barging into our
home, our home. She verbally attacks me,
she punches me in the face, again.
Nobody treats me like that and gets away with it.

So, we need to pick up the kids?
>> Finn: No, uh, Lucy invited Kelly over for dinner and Hayes
is with Grandma Li, so... >> Steffy: I'm so glad
they're not here. >> Finn: Because of your
confrontation with Sheila. >> Steffy: I'm sick and tired of
constantly having to look over my shoulder for that sociopath.
God, I just-- I wish she wasn't in our lives.
>> Finn: Is it true what she said?
You told Sheila you want her dead?
♪♪♪ >> Hope: I had kind of given
up on ever really having a real connection with my father.
He wasn't around much when I was growing up and when he was,
it was just... awkward.
I mean, I guess I felt some sort of
loyalty to my mom and their situation was complicated enough
as it is and so I never really truly opened
the door to him. But this time, it just--
It felt different. It felt like we truly connected
and I felt like I found a piece of me that had
always been missing. >> Thomas: It must have been
a wonderful feeling. >> Hope: It was.
My dad was serious about making a good life for himself,
about starting fresh and mending the relationships he had broken
and-- >> Thomas: And you were first on
that list. >> Hope: And I cherished every
moment that we shared together. There were a lot
of good moments. A lot of laughter, actually.
I know you don't know my dad that well, but he is a genuinely
funny guy. And it just really felt
like a blessing to have that father figure
in my life, again. But then, Sheila came along
and yeah, apparently she comes first.
Before me, before the grandkids and--
>> Thomas: I'm sorry, Hope. >> Hope: Me too.
But, um, as long as my dad is involved with Sheila,
I don't want to put the kids at risk.
And Beth and Douglas, they have to come first.
>> Thomas: They do. And Deacon's gonna have to
understand that. I just wish I understood him
and what he is thinking. Because I don't.
And it just feels like I'm losing my dad
all over again. >> Deacon: Babe, just breathe,
all right? Just relax. Take it down a notch.
>> Sheila: You know what? I have every right to be upset.
I have tried so hard to lead just a simple, good life.
I wake up in the morning, I go to work,
I come home from work, and I keep a low profile.
>> Deacon: You have been awesome.
You've been a model citizen. >> Sheila: Yeah, well what a lot
of good that's doing. Because no one wants to
give me credit for doing what's right.
No, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that--
that I'm here. That-- that-- that
I'm not bothering anyone. Steffy can just barge
through that door, do everything she can to
keep me away from my son and grandson.
I am so done with her. I'm done with her.
>> Deacon: Okay, Sheila, take it easy.
>> Sheila: Oh, God. Who does she think she is?
She-- she comes here. She-- she belittles me.
She strikes me. And I'm just supposed
to take it? >> Deacon: You have every reason
to be angry. She had no business coming
at you like that. Listen, don't make her right.
You know why? She's Finn's wife and he will
take her side every time. Think.
Be smart. Keep your eye on the prize.
>> Sheila: I'm trying. I am using all of my strength
and self-restraint to not remind that bitch of who she's
dealing with. >> Finn: Was Sheila lying
or did you really tell her that you want her dead?
>> Steffy: Can you really blame me after all the
horrible things she has done to our family?
To us? Year after year,
it's like the plague. >> Finn: Honey, I understand
why you would feel that way. >> Steffy: Good.
Because I'm not sorry. Sheila should be rotting in
a prison cell for the rest of her life.
And even then, I don't even know if I would feel
fully free of her. Only if she was dead
and buried. And yeah, that's exactly
what I told her. Finn, I understand on some
level, this is difficult for you. I get that.
Sheila is your birth mother. But evil doesn't change, okay?
It just is. So as long as Sheila Carter
is walking and breathing on this earth,
none of us are safe. ♪♪♪
>> Thomas: You know, I'm not the biggest Deacon Sharpe fan,
but one thing I do know about him is he loves you.
>> Hope: I would be so happy if it were any other woman.
In Los Angeles. In the world.
But it's-- it's just, my dad deserves happiness,
he deserves love, but this is Sheila Carter
we are talking about. A woman with a record.
A woman who is dangerous. And I-- I--
>> Thomas: I know. I get it. I do.
And I don't want Sheila anywhere near the kids.
Or you. Or my sister.
Or her kids. I'm just trying to put
some perspective on what Deacon's going through.
That's it. >> Hope: Hmm...
you mean aside from being under Sheila's spell?
I don't know. I-- I-- I do feel like I was
starting to get through to him, though.
I could tell he was listening. I could tell that he was taking
it in and maybe even making a little bit of progress.
But then Sheila waltzed in and started in on her usual,
"Oh, I've changed. And I'm not
a danger to anyone. I'm not a threat to anyone."
And my dad, he-- he buys it.
>> Thomas: He buys it because he wants to buy it.
>> Hope: I don't want him to buy it.
And I don't want to put the kids in that woman's path.
And so, as long as my dad is involved with her,
I mean, he can't be around us. >> Deacon: Sheila, I haven't
seen you like this in a long time.
Do I need to be worried here? >> Sheila: What, I don't have
the right to be upset? Big, bad Sheila,
she's not allowed to feel human emotions
like everybody else. No, Steffy can just barge
right in here and slander me and physically assault me,
and I-- I what?. I'd just-- What do I do?
Turn the cheek and say, "Hey, you missed a spot?"
>> Deacon: Listen, I get it. I've been there.
I know what it's like to have to prove yourself
worthy every single day. But the reality is,
it is what it is and you have been doing so well.
Just don't give the haters a reason to fear you.
That's all I'm saying. >> Sheila: I know.
And you're right. It has not been easy.
And it doesn't matter how good I am or how low a profile
I keep, Steffy is-- is determined to ruin what life
I do have. Right, she is never gonna
forget the past. She-- she won't move on.
>> Deacon: I know, just don't forget the endgame here.
All right? Steffy is Finn's wife.
If you want to have a relationship--
>> Sheila: I would already have a relationship with Finn
if it weren't for her. Steffy is what's standing
between me and my family. And that's a position
that nobody should ever want to be in.

Alone? >> Steffy: Yeah.
Yeah, I'll be fine. >> Finn: You sure?

out of our lives, but Steffy wishing her
dead, that's... >> Steffy: Sheila's a monster,
Finn. She shot us.
She shot her own son. She left us both to die.
And honestly, I think she would do it again
if she felt cornered. But I'm not gonna let that
happen. Sheila is not gonna harm my family.

middle of something right now. Could you take care of it?

Not a literal one. Hey, I need you to promise that
you're not gonna do anything to lose your composure and wind up
doing something we're all gonna regret.
>> Sheila: Not to worry. >> Deacon: Yeah...
That was a little too easy. Sheila promise me you're gonna
do what Finn and Steffy want. >> Sheila: I promise.

shutting my dad out of my life.
Severing the connection that I have yearned for
for so long. I mean, just when we were
