to believe what you're seeing. >> Hope: I mean, it--
This doesn't make sense, Dad. I-- I came over to try to-- to
convince you to stop spreading that theory about Sheila, and...
>> Finn: It's true. Hope, my mom is back with us.

this is a good deal? >> Carter: Yeah.
Yeah, I think we should sign. With some clarifications

with Liam instead. >> Steffy: Smart man.

Right on cue. >> Liam: Yeah, I know. On cue.
Very late, on cue. >> Steffy: Liam,
I have questions. >> Liam: Oh, of course you do.
Can I ask a question first? Did Finn ever call you back?

>> Carter: Okay, this should... This should work for us.
Unless there's anything I'm missing.

you have the job that you do? [ Carter chuckles ]

over to your legal department later today.
>> Liam: Very nice. You're not going to regret it.
>> Steffy: Rarely do when we do business with Spencer.
>> Liam: Hey, that's settled. Uh,
you never answered my question. Did Finn call you back?
>> Carter: If you two need a moment, I can--
>> Steffy: No, no, no. It's fine.
Liam is aware that I've been worried about Finn.
How Deacon's getting into his head with all of these crazy
conspiracy theories. >> Carter: Crazy is an
understatement. >> Steffy: I think Deacon's
going to stop with this stupid nonsense.
>> Liam: Yeah? Why? >> Steffy: Because Hope is going
to talk to him. And honestly,
I-- I think my father is right. I think Hope is the only
one that can shut him down. Hopefully, it's soon because
I cannot hear Deacon go on and on about Sheila's toes anymore.
>> Hope: This is insane. >> Deacon: Yeah, I know.
>> Hope: So, Steffy did kill someone that night.
Just not... >> Finn: Not my mom.
>> Deacon: Yeah, I was right. I mean, I knew what I saw
at the crematorium. Ten toes.
>> Hope: Okay, so-- so you-- you you tricked this Sugar woman
into getting plastic surgery? >> Sheila: You know, Hope,
it was a desperate time in my life.
I'm not trying to justify. I mean, what happened back
then really was terrible. But Sugar, she was...
She was a tortured woman before, but-- but after...
>> Finn: She chained her up. In an abandoned warehouse.
She wanted to kill Steffy and frame Sheila.
>> Hope: This is just all... This is all too much.
Okay, um... So, Dad, everything--
everything you were saying about Sheila being alive,
it was-- it was true. >> Deacon: Yeah.
You know what else was true? That Sheila's a changed woman.
She's worthy of my love. And Finn's.
And it would mean the world to me if you could
start to accept that. >> Finn: He's right, Hope.
♪♪♪
>> Liam: Well, one thing about Deacon is he respects
Hope's opinion. I don't imagine the guy takes
advice from too many people, but Hope's got clout with him.
And so if she's there right now, there's a good chance
this could be over soon. >> Steffy: Well,
I prefer Hope shutting this down the moment it happened, but...
>> Carter: Hey, if Hope fails for some reason,
we'll try with someone else. And we'll keep trying because
eventually someone will get Deacon to shut up and
stop spouting these ridiculous theories about
Sheila being alive. >> Liam: I mean,
that's the thing, right? If it were just affecting him,
we'd all probably be laughing about this right now.
But it's not just affecting Deacon, and that's what
he has to understand. He's actually hurting people
with this conspiracy theory. [ phone chiming ]
Nobody more than you. >> Carter: Oh, I gotta go.
Fingers crossed, right? Stay positive.
Can't wait to hear what Hope has to say about it.

forget about her? ♪♪♪

that you've been doing. You've proven it to me.

I mean, to feel like I belong, that I'm accepted and loved
because I have tried and I have failed my entire life and
no one has ever given me another chance until now.
It's like I-- I finally have what I've been searching for
my entire life. >> Hope: I am sure this
was a very harrowing experience for you, Sheila.
And I can obviously see how relieved and happy my father and
Finn are, understandably. But I still have my concerns.
Although, Dad, I do want you to know how proud
I am of you and Finn for rescuing Sheila and getting
her the help that she needed. She was a victim in all of this,
but are we really so convinced that she's not the same
woman capable of murder? Does this experience
really give her-- >> Deacon: Honey, look,
Sheila risked her life to protect Steffy and the kids
from Sugar. Protect, not harm.
No manipulation, no evil intent. >> Finn: She did everything she
could to save Steffy and the kids.
She even... I mean, she offered
her own life instead. >> Deacon: Look, I've known it
all along, but I believe it even more now.
Sheila's a changed woman. >> Sheila: Look, Hope,
you-- you don't have to believe that yet. It's okay.
But you will. You will believe it one day.
Right now, I am just thankful-- I'm thankful that these two do.
And as much as I would love to sit here and have
you say the most amazing things about me, I...
I was hoping you'd want to get some fresh air with me.
After being chained up in that dark,
dirty warehouse, I-- I just-- I want to see daylight and
feel the breeze on my face. >> Deacon: Absolutely.
As long as you're up to it. >> Sheila: I am.
>> Deacon: Well, all right then. So, if you two will excuse us,
Sheila and I have some daylight to go attend to.

Hope, Finn and-- and Deacon,
they are right about me. They really are.
And I want to thank you. Thank you, baby,
for believing in me.

thing. >> Sheila: Breathing? Yeah.
Yeah, it is. >> Deacon: I meant you.
It's just beautiful to see you, you know, enjoying
life's simple pleasures. We should all learn
to do more of that. >> Sheila: You know what?
Anybody can. They just need to be
chained up for a few weeks. >> Deacon: Maybe a little
too soon. I know what I said

Finn sees it. Everybody else is going to
come around eventually.
It never made sense to me that you went after Steffy.

a little better. Probably the first time

I don't have to hire guards. Finn and I are finally
free of her.

can't get over? Besides the obvious that,
you know, Steffy didn't kill Sheila.

>> Finn: Yeah, yeah, it does. I'm not going to deny that.
But, I mean, what she did, it was heroic.
I mean, no, and that means a lot to me.
She tried to stop Sugar from hurting Steffy and the kids.
I mean, she offered her own life.
And I'm not saying that the past doesn't matter.
And I've forgotten about the horrible things that
she did. But people, they do change.
I mean, they can reform. >> Hope: I-- I would love to
wholeheartedly agree with you, Finn, but there are still some
issues that I'm struggling with here.
And I think most people probably will for quite some time.
Um... maybe there is another
side of things where you and my dad might be right and
Sheila really has changed. >> Finn: She has.
And now, you know, not having to have this pit in
my stomach because my mother died at the hands of my wife,
I have a little bit of hope. And there's reason to think

I don't want to lose that opportunity again.

I hope that some day Steffy will be able to
see your side of things. >> Finn: Okay, look,
I'm not kidding myself. I know it's going to take
some serious convincing. And there'll need to be a major
mind shift for Steffy to see Sheila in a new light.
But I think if she can just come to understand
the situation and see how much Sheila has reformed,
and see the concern Sheila has for her safety, I mean,
at the very least, she's going to be relieved that she didn't
kill my birth mother, right? Steffy, she's--
she's going to come around. She believes in Thomas.
Man, life is too short. I-- I want to have
my birth mother in it and I'm determined
to make that happen. I don't want to waste
this opportunity.

I don't know, thanks for-- thanks for just
listening to me and understanding.
