[ ominous music playing] >> Steffy: An intruder.
She broke into my home. I-- I grabbed a knife
in self-defense, and when she lunged at me, I-- I stabbed her.
I think she could be dead. Could you please hurry?
♪♪♪ >> Hope: Oh, there it is.
>> Finn: Oh, hey. What are you doing?
>> Hope: I just-- I was in the pharmacy.
I realized I left my cell phone. It was on silent.
Sorry for interrupting again. >> Finn: No, you're not
I'm just-- I'm trying to wrap up some things and
get home to my wife. >> Hope: Oh. Is there
something else going on? >> Finn: I'm worried
about Steffy. ♪♪♪
>> Deacon: Great choice. Victoria, we're gonna have
a lemon meringue here, a chocolate mousse here.
Okay? Thanks. All right, tell me, Liam,
that this is not the best pizza that you've ever had.
>> Liam: It's pretty close. >> Deacon: Pretty close?
Where have you ever had pizza this good?
>> Liam: Puglia, Italy. Hope and my honeymoon.
Little pizzeria right outside the hotel.
>> Deacon: Italy does not count. Stateside, best pizza?
>> Liam: Okay, stateside? >> Deacon: Mm-hmm
>> Liam: Stateside. You know what else I like?
>> Deacon: Probably a tofu cannoli.
>> Liam: Besides the tofu cannoli and the pizza,
I like that I don't have to order takeout
'cause Sheila's not working. ♪♪♪
>> Deacon: All right, I think we've established
that Sheila's not your favorite person.
>> Liam: I don't think she's anybody's favorite person,
but for one obvious exception. >> Deacon: Me.
>> Liam: Yeah, you. Why you want anything
to do with that woman is totally--
>> Deacon: Okay, can we not do this again?
>> Liam: Look, you're concerned and I'm concerned
and for good reason. Not only has she been
disappearing lately, but you don't know where she is
right now. >> Deacon: She'll turn up.
>> Liam: It's not-- It's not whether she'll turn up
that concerns me. It's where.
>> Deacon: You're afraid she's stalking Finn and Steffy.
>> Liam: Yeah, that-- that's exactly what I'm afraid of,
and if that's true, God knows what could happen.
>> Finn: I-- I spoke to Steffy after you left.
I guess there's a windstorm out there.
All the power's out at the house.
>> Hope: Oh. >> Liam: Thankfully,
the kids aren't there. >> Hope: Well, Steffy's capable.
I'm sure she's okay. >> Finn: Yeah, I'm sure she is,
but I'll feel better when I see her for myself.
>> Hope: It's sweet that you're concerned.
>> Finn: Of course. Steffy's everything to me.
>> Medic 1: She's got a pulse but it's faint.
Barely breathing. >> Medic 2: Stab wound.
Upper extremity. She's still bleeding.
Apply more pressure. >> Medic 1: Keep packing
that wound. >> Cop 1: What have we got?
>> Medic 1: Female, mid-50s. Stab wound.
>> Cop 2: This where you found her?
>> Medic 1: Yeah. >> Cop 1: Ma'am,
this your house? >> Steffy: Yes.
I'm Steffy Forrester. She broke into my home.
She threatened me and I acted in self-defense.
>> Cop 1: You know this woman? >> Steffy: Yes.
Her name is Sheila. Sheila Carter.
♪♪♪ >> Deacon: You know,
if you could just cut Sheila a little bit of slack.
>> Liam: What, I don't even know what that means.
What are you asking me to do? >> Deacon: It means not thinking
everything she does is nefarious.
>> Liam: Deacon, you-- By your own admission,
she's been sneaking out going on these mysterious outings
and not telling you where she's been or what--
Like if that's not a red flag, what is?
>> Deacon: But see, it's a red flag for you
'cause you think everything she does is, you know, criminal.
>> Liam: Yeah. Because she's given me
good reason to. And she's given Steffy
good reason to as well. >> Deacon: All right,
if you're about to remind me what happened in the alley
behind the restaurant-- >> Liam: Oh, well, I wasn't
going to, but let me remind you what happened in the alley
behind the restaurant. Sheila shot Finn.
And then she turned the gun on Steffy and she shot Steffy.
And she left her for dead. And Steffy's just supposed to
like what? Embrace that and allow
Sheila back into her life? You know we're talking about
my daughter too here, right? Kelly almost grew up
without a mother. I'm just supposed to
forgive and forget that. I can't do it.
>> Deacon: Kelly doesn't know anything about that.
>> Liam: Yes. Yes, and hopefully she'll
never have to because we're gonna get Sheila out of our
lives once and for all. >> Deacon: I don't think
Sheila's going anywhere. >> Liam: I'm pretty sure
you don't want her to. >> Deacon: Is that so hard to
understand, given the way I feel about her?
>> Liam: No. What's hard to understand
is that you would choose those feelings for Sheila
over the relationship you have with your daughter.
>> Deacon: I'm not doing that. >> Liam: Really?
You're not doing that? Have you talked to Hope lately?
Because I bet you she kinda feels like you are.
>> Deacon: I don't want to hurt my daughter.
That's the last thing I want to do, but I--
>> Liam: I know. I know what's going on.
You're stuck. You're stuck with Sheila.
You can't pry yourself away from her no matter what
it's doing to your relationship. >> Deacon: That's not true.
That's not true at all. Listen, I do not want to lose
my connection with my daughter or my grandkids.
I love all of them. >> Liam: I know you do.
The problem is loving Sheila, too.
♪♪♪ >> Hope: Oof, no wonder
you're eager to get home. >> Finn: Yeah.
I hate thinking of her alone 'cause the winds howling outside
it's dark. >> Hope: Well, hopefully
the power will be restored soon. >> Finn: And I'd leave
right now, but I'm waiting on some important test
results for my patients. >> Hope: Hm.
How long does something like that take?
>> Finn: Well, last I spoke to the lab, they said
within the next 15 minutes. That was a half an hour ago.
>> Hope: Well, then, hopefully, they will be here any minute.
>> Finn: Are you-- are you always relentlessly
this optimistic? >> Hope: Hm.
It's gross, right? >> Finn: No, it's anything but.
It's-- it's refreshing. >> Hope: Well, you know
what else is refreshing? We just had a conversation,
and we did not talk about Sheila once.
>> Finn: Yeah. I'm sorry I brought it up
to you when you were here earlier, I just--
>> Hope: No, don't be. You're worried about Steffy
and things deteriorating even further between
the two of them. >> Finn: It got physical
and that scares me. >> Hope: Well, yeah.
Knowing what Sheila's capable of.
I mean, I know she's your birth mom, but...
>> Finn: No, but ever since we found out she is, Steffy's had
to put up with so much, and I love that she continues
to fight for us, but hasn't just
thrown her hands in the air and called it quits.
>> Hope: She never would. She loves you too much.
>> Finn: I love her. And I feel what she feels.
Right now, I feel like my wife needs me.
♪♪♪ >> Medic 2: Pupils are fixed,
and dilated. >> Cop 1: So, you knew
the intruder? She wasn't a stranger?
>> Steffy: No, her name is Sheila Carter.
She has a long list of crimes, especially
against me and my family. >> Medic 1: Patient is asystole
on the monitor. >> Medic 2: She's bled out.
There's nothing more we can do. >> Steffy: Wait, did you say
she's not gonna make it? >> Medic 1: Afraid not, ma'am.

Sheila's dead. ♪♪♪
>> Liam: Sheila Carter. How does someone love...
Sheila Carter? >> Deacon: I know.
One of life's mysteries, huh? >> Liam: Yeah, to me,
to everyone, especially Hope. >> Deacon: You know, I tried
to explain it to her. H-- How do you explain
something to somebody when you don't really understand
it yourself? >> Liam: You don't think that
tells you something? >> Deacon: Tells me
it's complicated. I know how everybody sees her,
you know, like some kind of leper to be avoided.
>> Liam: Whoa. You don't see her that way?
>> Deacon: You know, sometimes I wish I did because it'd be
a hell of a lot easier. Especially with my relationship
with my daughter. You know, I've tried to
distance myself from her. I have.
It's like every single time I do, I just--
I get drawn back in. >> Liam: Well, stop that.
What's-- what is it? What's drawing you back in then?
>> Deacon: Our similarities for one thing.
You know, two loners, screw-ups, criminals.
Two people trying to scratch some kind of
respectability out of life. Trying to just build something
together that's good and decent and normal despite our
checkered past. >> Liam: Hey, Deacon.
You-- you got to give yourself more credit.
You're painting this picture like you and Sheila
are the same. You're not the same.
You can't compare your petty screw-ups to
her heinous, heinous crimes. >> Deacon: Well, you got that
right. She plays in a league by herself, that's for sure.
I don't know, man, we-- we understand each other.
You know, we-- we accept each other, flaws and all.
>> Liam: Maybe that would make sense
if you didn't have anybody else in your life
who cared about you. But that's not true.
Hope cares about you. She cares about you deeply,
and for you to-- to let this thing with
Sheila jeopardize that relationship more than it
already has, you-- you're not...
You gotta play it smart. You kick Sheila to the curb
and you save your relationship with your daughter because you
know it and I know it. The only way any of us are gonna
have any peace ever again is if Sheila is out of our lives
once and for all. >> Finn: Well, the lab results
look excellent. It's exactly what we hoped for.
Let's put them back to the prior dosage and
you can tell Mr. Limbrecht the good news.
Okay, thank you so much, Max. Bye-bye.
>> Hope: You're a good man, Finn.
Always taking care of other people.
>> Finn: Thanks. >> Hope: Probably explains how
you were able to open yourself up to Sheila,
crazy birth mom and all. Sorry, if that was
overstepping. >> Finn: No. My loyalty
will always be with Steffy. Not that I wish any
ill will to Sheila, just as long as she stays out of our lives.
>> Hope: Except that Steffy did say that she would only really
feel safe if Sheila was dead. >> Finn: Listen, um,
I need to get home, okay? And check on Steffy.
I'm sure she's fine. She can take care of herself,
but if she needs me, I want to be there for her.

Let me make it up to you by giving you a bigger one.
Sheila's only gonna drag you down.
She's gonna force you to forfeit your future with Hope
and the kids, and that reason alone should make that woman
dead to you. >> Deacon: Liam, look, it's not
that I don't hear you. I mean, maybe Sheila should be
out of my life, and maybe it doesn't make sense
that she isn't. But I love her, man.

Someone came in. Sheila.
You-- you stay away from me. You stay the hell away from me.
