Sheila shoved Steffy first. >> Hope: Okay, but Sheila
shouldn't be anywhere near the kids.
>> Finn: I agree. She's too dangerous.
But. >> Hope: But?
>> Finn: I don't like that Steffy confronted Sheila.
>> Hope: Why, because she's your birth mother, and you don't
feel like it's Steffy's place? >> Finn: It has nothing
to do with that. It's about wanting to know
that Steffy is safe. That she's being smart.
And getting in Sheila's face and punching her,
I mean, how do you think that's gonna end?
I don't want Steffy saying or doing anything
to incite her. And look, I am not
defending her. She had no right to interact
with Kelly at all, period. But like it or not,
Sheila's been living a pretty peaceful, quiet life.
She's working as a waitress. She's been staying away.
She hasn't tried to inject herself
into my world. It's-- it's been pretty good.

I mean, there... No wonder you don't have any
idea where Sheila is. She's probably off somewhere
licking her wounds. >> Deacon: I never should've
said a word. >> Liam: No, don't say, no,
you absolutely should have. And I'm grateful that you did,
because this involves my daughter, Deacon.
Kelly could've gotten hurt. >> Deacon: Kelly was never in
any danger and Steffy had no business getting in
Sheila's face like that. >> Liam: She had no business?
No business? How many times has
Steffy told Sheila, stay away from me, stay away from
my family? >> Deacon: That's exactly
what she's doing. She's just--
You know, she's focusing on other things.
She's focusing on me and our relationship,
on this restaurant, her work here.
And most importantly, she's focusing on bettering herself.
Look, I don't expect you to believe it.
>> Liam: I don't. I don't believe it.
Nobody believes it. Nobody.
>> Deacon: It doesn't matter. You know,
I've had a front-row seat to watch her progress.

Sheila's changed narrative all you want.
You just don't get to expect anybody else to.

relationship with your daughter for a woman who probably
doesn't give a crap about you? >> Deacon: That's not
my intention. >> Liam: Do you really think
that you're not pushing her away right now?
>> Deacon: Liam, I love Hope and my grandkids.
>> Liam: Prove it. Do something about it.
Kick Sheila to the curb, because you're standing here,
and you're telling me that you don't know where Sheila is five
minutes after telling me that she's new and improved.
Obviously, the fact that you don't know where she is
concerns you as much as it concerns me.
It's because you're worried that she might be reverting
back to her old, evil ways.

Not knowing where Sheila is right now?

as she pleases. All right, look, uh, the truth
is that she's been slipping away a lot lately.

She'd hang out with me upstairs when it wasn't her shift,

my apartment, I don't know if she's gonna be there or not.
>> Liam: Okay, do you ask her where she's been?
>> Deacon: It's a bit mysterious.
>> Liam: Oh, God, it's not mysterious.
She's probably over at Steffy's house stalking them.
>> Deacon: No, no, don't-- don't think that, all right?
She has sworn that she wouldn't bother either
one of them. >> Liam: Deacon, today.
What about today? >> Deacon: That was completely
different. Kelly came into her space.
Steffy, too. And besides, I asked her
about her little disappearing acts.
And she claims that she has been meeting someone from her past.
>> Liam: Oh, yeah, no, yeah, no, that tracks.
I'm sure plenty of people from Sheila's past have just
been clamoring to reconnect. >> Deacon: That's a point
well taken. >> Liam: The only--
The only thing about Sheila's past that she gives
a damn about is the child that she gave up.
She's obsessed. Obsessed with being in Finn and
Hayes' life and with getting Steffy out of it.
>> Hope: So, that's basically what you're saying, right?
I mean, if Steffy provoked Sheila, then...
you still think she's a threat. >> Finn: I mean,
I wish I didn't, but yeah. I'm not just gonna take
her word for it that she's somehow reformed.
>> Hope: You shouldn't. I mean, I don't buy it.
I don't think she's capable. She should still be in prison.
>> Finn: That's exactly where she should be.
And I know how much that angers Steffy.
Not just for what she's done to us, but for everything that has
happened to her over the years. I mean, my God, losing your
mother for most of your childhood because of Sheila?
That's traumatic enough. But then to go through
what she did in that alley? Seeing me shot,
thinking that I'm dead, and then have Sheila turn the
gun on her? I mean, I'm sure Steffy
has PTSD from that experience. >> Hope: Anyone would.
I mean, that's not something you just get over.
But I don't know, it just seems like there's something
specific about it that's bothering you.
>> Finn: Ah, it's just something else that she said and I'm just,
I'm just struggling to understand it.

What did she say? >> Finn: Steffy said that the
only way that she will ever truly feel free of Sheila
is if she were dead. ♪♪♪

It's important. Even for someone
as horrible as Sheila. Maybe...
Maybe there is some potential. Not that I want her anywhere
around me, but if she spent some time in a prison and maybe
had time to repent, I don't know.
But seeing it from Steffy's perspective, yeah,
I can see how she thinks that that's the best solution.
And what Sheila has done to her is unimaginable.
>> Hope: You're a good husband. The fact that you are trying
to see it from Steffy's perspective, but at the same
time, I can also tell that it...
It did disturb you. Steffy saying that about
the woman who brought you into this world, I mean, that still
hurts to hear. That she wants her dead.

Sheila to stay away from Steffy and Finn,
and I believe her. I believe she heard me.
Besides, why would she jeopardize the life
that she's building? >> Liam: The life with you?

Whatever it is that you've got going on
with Sheila, you and I both know she wouldn't hesitate for
a second to kick it to the curb if it meant having
a relationship with her son. That is the single
most important thing in her whole life.
