a protective place? Even though Sheila does
work at Il Giardino, she still shouldn't be in such
close proximity to Steffy's children.

The best thing she ever did was to let him go when
he was a baby. >> Hope: But, did she ever
really let him go? I mean, Mom, let's--
let's try to think about it from Finn's perspective.
I mean, this is obviously a very complicated thing
for him. He doesn't condone what Sheila
has done in the past, but at the same time,
that is his birth mother. Are we being sensitive to that?
Is Steffy taking that into consideration before she
goes off and does something like that? I don't know.

Finn feels some sort of connection to Sheila.
