>> Steffy: I said goodbye to Douglas, Paris, and Thomas.
Looks like maybe you have, too. >> Hope: Thomas was here
earlier.
And I gave him my blessing.
>> Finn: Mom. Hey.
>> Li: Oh. >> Finn: Are you just
gonna walk by and not say hi? >> Li: I guess
I just didn't realize which floor I was on.
>> Finn: Are you okay? >> Jack: Finn.
You got a sec to talk? [Li scoffs]
Li. >> Li: Not again.
I swear, Jack, I'm beginning to think you're stalking me.
>> Bill: I can't tell you how much you have both changed
the energy around here. I've been alone in this big,
empty house for a very long time.
And now there is laughter again. And I have a reason
to come home. And that's thanks
to you two Nozawa women. Well, Nozawa-slash-Spencer.
I wanna make that happen, Luna. I wanna give you my name.
>> Hollis: This is crazy.
>> Deacon: Hollis! Dude, where are you?
♪♪♪
>> Jack: I'm here for our son, Li.
I stop by every now and then whenever I get the chance.
You may have cut off all ties with me.
Thankfully, Finn has not. >> Li: You're here for Finn?
Or are you actually here scouring the halls
looking for pretty nurses? >> Finn: Okay, can we keep
this cordial, please? >> Li: Yes, yes. Not a problem.
I was just reminiscing. >> Finn: And what's this about?
"Not again." Have you two been seeing
each other? >> Li: Absolutely not.
We ran into each other at Il Giardino the other day.
I was just picking up take-out, that's all.
>> Jack: And I was having a drink
with the bartender Hollis. I was planning on staying
for the live music, but the guy was terrible.
>> Li: You know what happened after you left, don't you?
>> Jack: Songs got worse? >> Li: He died.
>> Finn: Wait, you were at Il Giardino the night Tom died?
You both were?
>> Poppy: Blows my mind that you wanna do this
and give Luna your name. >> Bill: Well, yeah.
We gotta get a few years in as a--
as a Spencer before R.J. asks her to become a Forrester.
>> Luna: Okay, slow down there. >> Bill: Just saying.
Just saying. Look, seriously,
it is important to me that you have my name
and everything that goes along with it.
It's your birthright, Luna. And I want you to have
everything that you're entitled to.
>> Deacon: Oh, you're back. >> Hollis: Um, well, yeah,
actually, I think I have something very interesting
that you want to know. >> Deacon: What's going--Great.
>> Hollis: Yeah, the last time this happened, the power
was out for like six hours. >> Deacon: Yeah, I know.
Believe me, I'm paying the bills. You know what?
Thank God it's closing time. So, what do you say we, uh--
What do you say we just don't take any more customers?
You know, we finish these guys off,
you and I grab a beer after? >> Hollis: Sounds great.
>> Deacon: Yeah? >> Hollis: Okay. Let's do it.
>> Sheila: Poor Tom.
>> Steffy: You gave Thomas your blessing to marry Paris?
>> Hope: I did. >> Steffy: I'm impressed.
I know you were against the idea. You thought
Thomas was coming back to be with you.
>> Hope: Something that I wanted very much.
But I have been doing some soul-searching,
and I have come to realize that I needed to take
a step back and figure out why I want what I want.
>> Poppy: Well, as much as I enjoy the three of us
hanging out like this, there are some errands
that I need to run. >> Bill: Yeah. Unfortunately,
I have to get going as well. I would ask you to come
to the office with me, but we're prepping tonight
for tomorrow's painfully boring tax code meeting,
and I don't wanna scare you away from the company.
>> Luna: You know, that actually sounds
really exciting, but I think I'm good just staying home here.
As long as you both swear that we're gonna have many
more days like this ahead. >> Bill: Oh, I can easily
swear that. Many more days.
That's a promise.
[piano playing soft tune]
>> Sheila: Hey, Hollis. Is there a problem
with the power again? >> Hollis: Uh, what?
>> Sheila: The lights. They were flickering earlier.
>> Hollis: Oh, right. Yeah. No. Deacon,
he's looking into that.
>> Sheila: Is something going on with you?
>> Hollis: I found something out today.
>> Sheila: Okay. >> Hollis: And I don't know
what to think about it, but I think it's important.
And I mean really important. >> Sheila: All right, Hollis.
So, what do you think you found out?
>> Hollis: It's about Tom and how he died.
>> Finn: Wait. Why am I just now hearing
you were there that night? >> Li: Didn't cross my mind
to mention it. >> Jack: Now I feel badly
I called him a terrible singer. >> Li: Oh, that you
feel bad about? You've done far worse.
[phone ringing] Oh, I have to take this.
Hi, Peggy. Uh-huh. No, just adjust the meds.
>> Jack: Hey. Sorry for the pop in.
Obviously, I didn't realize your mom was here.
She still wants nothing to do with me.
>> Finn: Yeah, Dad, just... >> Jack: No, no. I get it.
I'll text in the future. [Finn chuckles]
Speaking of texting, before I go,
I just wanna say I'm glad you're communicating
with Poppy and Luna. Family is everything.
Poppy is wonderful. There's really nothing
I wouldn't do for her. She's a gentle soul
despite what your mom says. Poppy deserves
the very best in life. And I'm glad that she found out
that Luna is... Spencer's daughter.
>> Steffy: So, there was something driving you
to back away from Thomas? >> Hope: I guess. Yes. I've--
I've had a lot going on, and I've just been doing
a lot of thinking. >> Steffy: Yeah. Interesting.
I mean, that's why you gave him your blessing.
I think it's good, Hope. I think it's good for everyone.
I am proud of you. I am.
And I'm proud of Thomas. You managed to untangle
yourselves from a relationship that was never gonna work out.
>> Hope: Well, I mean, that's your opinion.
And the jury is still out on Thomas and Paris.
That is still a very new relationship.
>> Steffy: It is, but I have a good feeling
about it. Yes, they rushed
into an engagement, but they're not
gonna rush into a wedding. They're taking their time
solidifying their bond as a family.
>> Hope: Well, let's hope so, especially for Douglas's sake.
And I meant it when I wished Thomas my best.
>> Steffy: So, what triggered this?
I mean, something did. Or was it someone?
♪♪♪
>> Li: I don't want to talk about your father.
Have you seen much of Luna lately
or your Aunt Penelope? >> Finn: In person, no.
But I did talk to Luna, and I heard all about
Bill Spencer being her father, if that's what you're asking.
You don't approve, do you? >> Li: You know, I have
my issues with my sister. The way she's lived her life,
I-- She's definitely getting
what she's always wanted. She's incredibly lucky
to be embraced by Bill and everything the Spencer name
has to offer. Oh, look at the time.
I have somewhere to be. Thank you for reminding me
what floor I'm on.
>> Steffy: So, what's this realization?
>> Hope: Oh, I--I don't want to make it something bigger
than it is. It's--It's fine. It's just a conversation
I had with my mother where she is helping me to see
things a little more clearly and make sense of what's
been going on inside of me. >> Steffy: Some inner turmoil?
>> Hope: Sure. You could say that.
But I'm-- I'm moving past it now, so...
>> Steffy: Moving past what? What are you talking about?
>> Hope: It's really-- It's not important.
Don't give it another thought. It is nothing that concerns you.
>> Sheila: We're all really sad about what happened to Tom,
but there is nothing to figure out about his death.
Hollis, we all know what happened. He fell off the wagon.
He overdosed. >> Hollis: Yeah. Sure.
Okay, maybe. But-- But I found something out,
all right? And I want to show it to you, okay?
So just-- >> Sheila: Hollis, I don't
have time for this right now. >> Hollis: Seriously,
just give me one second. I just wanna show you something.
[electricity buzzing]
[sighs]
>> Sheila: What? What is that? >> Hollis: It's Tom's backpack.
>> Sheila: Why on earth would you have Tom's backpack?
>> Hollis: I've been trying to wrap my head around
how and why Tom died. I think I discovered something.
>> Sheila: What? What are you doing?
Are you rifling through his stuff
to find his drug stash? >> Hollis: No, no, not at all.
>> Sheila: Because that's how he died, Hollis.
There's nothing for you to wrap your head around.
>> Hollis: Yeah, okay, maybe, but look--
>> Sheila: Stop. >> Hollis: I just found--
>> Sheila: Stop. No. It is wrong to go through
his personal belongings. Besides, God, look at it.
It's--It's filthy. This is a classy place.
That is probably a health code violation.
So you know what I want you to do with that?
You take that dirty thing and you throw it
in the dumpster. >> Hollis: Throw it
in the dumpster? >> Sheila: Yes. Take it...
>> Hollis: Why would I-- >> Sheila: ...and throw it
in the trash. Do you hear me?
Just do it.

Okay, look, I'm glad you're here,

>> Finn: Darn. I, um-- I was gonna surprise her
on my way home. I worked the graveyard shift
last night. >> Hope: You must be tired.
>> Finn: Yeah. A, um, power nap is definitely
in my future. How are you doing?
I heard about Thomas leaving with Douglas and Paris.
Hey, I know it's tough, but it's for the best.
You'll see. You'll find the man that you're
meant to be with, Hope.
>> Steffy: I appreciate you calling me back.
And, yes, this is about Sheila. I heard about
that singer's death. Tom Starr. They're reporting
that it's an overdose, but have you investigated this,
Chief Baker? I mean, they're saying it's
accidental, but I have a very hard time believing that it's
just coincidence that a man dies where Sheila Carter works.
>> Deacon: All right, the day is off to a good start.
Power's gonna be restored to the restaurant.
We can open up on time as scheduled.
>> Sheila: That's great. >> Deacon: Come here.
I didn't get a chance to do that last night
because I was already in bed when you came back.
What took you so long to get up here?
>> Sheila: Yeah, well, I just wanted to make sure
everything was stocked, ready to go for this week.
You know, it's therapeutic for me.
Checking everything, making sure the numbers are there.
>> Deacon: Hmm. I like that. What do you say I go downstairs
and make a couple of my soon-to-be
world-famous espressos, start the day off for you?
>> Sheila: Why don't you stay here
and let me do that. >> Deacon: Okay. Um,
everything all right? >> Sheila: Yeah. I'm fine.
I'm just thinking about how much I love you

I'm not gonna let anything or anyone take that away
