that you're here and that you're with us.
I mean, I thought-- I thought I lost you and that we
would never see you again. >> Sheila: Yeah, well, I--
I am right here and I'm not going anywhere.
And I never want to be apart from either of you ever again.
>> Deacon: You think I'd let you?
You're stuck with me. >> Finn: Stuck with us.
We've been through a lot. But deep down, I always...
I always thought that if we just had the time--
the time to fix things and to-- to heal, and that if
you did the work that one day, you know, maybe we could
build a relationship. But then when I thought you
died, it just... I just don't want
to be apart from you either.
♪♪♪ >> Hope: Wow, this is all
great feedback. Thank you. I have to admit, I was a little
nervous about this meeting. I thought you might be
pulling back on our budget given that Thomas has stepped down
as our lead designer. >> Carter: Topic came up.
>> Ridge: It did. Because Hope for the Future has
gone through a bit of a transition.
And we're all aware of that. All aware that you've
surrounded yourself with really good people.
It's a good group. Zende and RJ, I mean, they...
They've come up with some really cool stuff already and they're
only going to get better. Luna's going to pick up
the slack. We're going to be okay.
>> Hope: Thank you for that vote of confidence.
And I will be sure to stay on top of them.
You know, make sure that the communication and
creativity keep on flowing. >> Steffy: Sorry, sorry.
I'm-- I'm late. Sorry. >> Ridge: Steffy, you all right?
>> Steffy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um... >> Ridge: What's going on?
>> Steffy: Let's get to work. No, nothing. It's nothing, Dad.
>> Ridge: Steffy. >> Steffy: I just want this nightmare
to be over. Deacon keeps going on and
on about Sheila being alive and it needs to end.

>> Carter: It's tough to move on when Deacon won't stop bringing
Sheila back into your lives. >> Ridge: He just doesn't know
when to quit, does he? >> Hope: All right, well,
I apologize for my father once again.
I will go speak to him. And I will do that right now.
>> Steffy: Well, tell him to stay away from Finn because
we're done with everything and anything that
has to do with Sheila.
♪♪♪ >> Sheila: You...
you never gave up on me even when everyone said you were
crazy for thinking I was alive. >> Deacon: I couldn't.
I know you. I know your heart.
It never made sense that you went after Steffy.
Then, I saw the ten toes. >> Sheila: No, you only saw them
because you wanted to stay with me to the very end.
>> Deacon: I wasn't ready to let you go.
I wasn't the only one. You know, I was going off about
how you were still alive and Sugar was killed and, you know,
Finn, he had every reason to write me off, but he didn't.
Just the possibility of you being alive was enough for
him to help me find you. >> Sheila: My hero.
>> Finn: Well, you too. You tried to save Steffy and
the kids from Sugar. You tried to protect my family.
>> Sheila: Of course I did because they're my family too.
>> Deacon: It's like I've been saying.
Yeah, Sheila's done some terrible things,
but there is good in her heart. Her love for you and
your family, it's real. You have to see the power of
redemption and rehabilitation. And I know you said that you
believed that Sheila tried to save your family, but Finn, it's
not enough just to believe her. You have to believe in her.
>> Finn: Well, I do. I believe in you.

>> Ridge: You know, Sharpe's always been a desperate,
selfish little man, but now he's really lost it.
>> Carter: I'm really sorry you and Finn are going through
this, Steffy. After everything Sheila's
put you through, I was hoping this would be
a season of peace for you two. >> Steffy: You and I both.
Sheila really rocked our marriage, and I wasn't sure we'd
ever be the same again. >> Ridge: All right,
but you're working through it. You're gonna get past
that terrible night. You're doing it.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but Deacon's gotten to Finn's head, really
manipulating his emotions. >> Carter: Yeah, but maybe Hope
can get through to him. If anyone can, it's her, right?
>> Ridge: All right, don't read into it.
He's probably just busy. >> Steffy: I'm just,
I'm getting a real weird vibe. >> Charlie: Hi.
Sorry, am I interrupting? >> Ridge: Hey, Charlie.
Remember when we talked about, like, Western civilization,
that there's a closed door and what it means?
Remember how you're supposed to knock?
We talked about this. Try again.
>> Carter: So, you're getting a vibe?
>> Steffy: Yeah, I am. It's just,
it feels so odd and-- >> Ridge: Hang on.
Here it comes. [ knocking on door ]
Hey, Charlie. >> Charlie: You have a minute?
>> Ridge: Yeah, come on in. >> Charlie: Well, it seems like
we have a showdown. And not the fashion kind.
It seems that Ms. Lucas the head of accounting,
is parking over the line into Mr. Scott's slot,
who's the head of sales. And it's about
to get ugly out there. >> Ridge: Okay,
why are you telling me this? Just go fix it.
>> Charlie: Well, normally I would, sir,
but, you know, as you realize, a man in my position can
be quite intimidating. I thought you might want
to de-escalate first. Besides, uh,
Ms. Lucas scares me. >> Ridge: Well, that does sound
like a very delicate situation. I'll put my best man on it.
My COO. >> Carter: What?
>> Ridge: Go fix it. Yeah.
[ Carter sighs ] >> Carter: Let's go, Charlie.
Let's go attend to this very important piece of business.

just how threatening a man like me can be.
>> Carter: I can tell by your little biceps.
>> Charlie: See?
>> Ridge: Hey. Whatever this vibe is
that you're feeling, it's going to be okay.
You and Finn are going to work through it.
And Hope's going to talk to Deacon and he's going to stop
talking about Sheila. You're not going to hear

>> Finn: This is, um, this is all still setting in.
And you being here and us getting a second chance.
>> Sheila: But you do believe it, right?
That I-- I really have changed. >> Finn: Oh, yes, I do.
You offered your life to protect my family, to try and
save Steffy from Sugar.
>> Sheila: Regardless if Steffy hates me or not,
she's still my family. You all are.
It must have been devastating. Her thinking that she--
she killed me, your mother. I-- I'm sure that's caused some
tension in your marriage. >> Finn: It did, yeah. Um...
you were dead and it felt like Steffy was
slipping between my fingers. >> Sheila: No.
Honey, I would never want that because you deserve to be happy.
>> Finn: Well, I am now, knowing that you're alive
and that Steffy didn't kill you. It's just, it's unbelievable.

going to send through Los Angeles and Genoa City when
people find out that Sheila and her nine toes are still tapping.
>> Hope: Dad? Are you home? It's me.
>> Deacon: Just a second. No, no, no.

doing, she feels badly about it. >> Steffy: Think about all the
terrible things Sheila has done to our family.
Even Brooke, her own mother. >> Ridge: She hasn't forgotten
about that, I'm sure. >> Steffy: Okay, but she does
have a soft spot for Deacon, her father.
She went to the memorial and I really don't think that Hope
has the guts to tell her father stop with this
ridiculous theory. >> Ridge: Or maybe she's the
only one that can help us with that.
They have a strange relationship, yes,

Deacon's mind about Sheila. I mean, he could stay
in his house, and he could count toes over and over again.

Finn is just such a good guy. So genuine and...

it's impossible. >> Finn: I thought
the same thing. >> Deacon: After I saw the toes,
I saw some text messages on Sheila's computer.
They were with a woman named Sugar.
>> Hope: Sugar? >> Deacon: When Lauren Fenmore
came to town, I asked her about it, okay?
Because there's no one who knows more about Sheila than Lauren.
And when I mentioned the name Sugar, you should
have seen Lauren's face. She told me about how years ago,
Sheila tricked Sugar into getting cosmetic surgery
to look exactly like her. And eventually, Sugar got sent
to the-- to the mental ward and everyone thought it was Sheila.

>> Deacon: Well, identical, except for the fact
that Sugar has ten toes. Sheila has nine.

and she chained me up in an old warehouse.

harm Steffy and the kids and have Sheila take the fall.

it all comes back to the toes. Those nine beautiful toes
and that one missing digit.

of-- of what I did to Sugar. I'm not proud of a lot of
things that I've done. Mistakes that I've made.

I've changed. And I'd--
I'd never go after Steffy. I'm-- I'm not that
person anymore. >> Finn: And, look,
I understand how you feel, Hope. Even when Deacon told me
about Sugar, I didn't fully believe it until
I saw Sheila with my own eyes. And I-- I--
I can't explain why, especially with everything that
has happened in the past, but... I'm glad that we found you.
And that I'm gonna be able to have a second chance
