>> Steffy: I'm so glad to see you.
My hot, sexy,
doctor husband. [Finn chuckles]
>> Finn: I'm happy to be with you.
>> Steffy: Well, I was--I was expecting you a little sooner.
What held you up?
>> Hope: I find you attractive. And I would be lying
if I said I didn't think about you and what it would be like
to be with you from time to time. >> Finn: Okay, Hope.
>> Hope: I know. We are adults. But...
can a girl dream?
>> Brooke: Oh, there you are. Did you hear?
Sheila got released from custody.
>> Hope: Oh, I--Yes, I heard. >> Brooke: You did?
>> Hope: Yes. I was with Finn when Dad texted him.
[birds chirping]
>> Poppy: You know. >> Bill: What?
>> Poppy: Luna isn't home right now.
>> Bill: Are you saying we have this whole place
to ourselves? >> Poppy: Uh-huh.
So I figured that we could start in the bedroom.
>> Bill: Start, huh? I do like the sound of that.
But I don't think I'll have the time I need to devote
to those activities. I have someplace I need to be,
but I promise I'll make it up to you.
>> Poppy: All right. I'm gonna hold you to that.
>> Bill: You do that. [phone chiming]
>> Poppy: All right. I'm gonna take this upstairs.
>> Bill: Okay. >> Poppy: But...
I'll see you later. [Bill chuckles]
>> Poppy: Hey. What's going on?
>> Bill: Katie. What a pleasant surprise.
>> Katie: Yeah, well, I need to talk to you
about our son and all the changes
in your life.
♪♪♪
>> Katie: I know this seems like I'm not letting this go,
but I'm concerned. Your life has changed so much,
so quickly. >> Bill: You have no need
to be concerned. Poppy and Luna being in my life,
it's all good. >> Katie: See, that's just it.
I'm not so sure it is all good. I'm sorry.
This is a bit new for me. I mean, I've been concerned
or worried about you in the past,
but that was different. This is--
This is different. You've always been so self-assured
and stubborn and pigheaded. >> Bill: Self-assured,
stubborn, pigheaded. Yes. Those are the ABCs of me.
>> Katie: See? >> Bill: See what?
You're right. >> Katie: I just don't like
that you're not paying attention to what I'm trying to tell you.
This thing with Poppy and Luna, I--I don't know
if it's everything it appears to be,
and I'm worried.
>> Finn: What about my sexy... CEO wife?
How are things here? >> Steffy: Uh...Hi.
>> Finn: Not so good? >> Steffy: I'm just, uh--
I'm a little frustrated. >> Finn: Come here.
Hey. >> Steffy: Hmm?
>> Finn: What's going on? I'm all ears.
>> Steffy: Brooke and Hope. It's all Logans...
all the time.
>> Brooke: So, you were
with Finn? >> Hope: Yes. I, um--
He happened to run into me, and I was with him
when he heard the news. Dad thought he should know
right away. >> Brooke: Hmm. Okay.
Well, it's all quite shocking. I mean, we all believe
that Sheila was responsible for the deaths
of Hollis and the homeless man. Were you able to talk
to your father about this? >> Hope: Um, we've been texting,
but he said that he would give me a call
once they got settled at home. >> Brooke: You can only imagine
how Steffy took the news, and I'm sure that Finn
is beside himself, too. >> Hope: Actually, I think Finn
might be a little relieved, Knowing that Sheila
was released.
♪♪♪
>> Brooke: Finn's happy about Sheila's release?
>> Hope: I said relieved, Mom. Happy is not at all
how I would describe Finn. >> Brooke: Well, I'm just
surprised he would have that kind of reaction after what
he said to Chief Baker. >> Hope: Well, I mean,
he's not naive. He knows what Sheila's
capable of. >> Brooke: Well, that's why
I thought he'd be upset, enraged even.
>> Hope: Okay, Finn obviously wants her to be questioned.
That is the right thing to do in this circumstance,
given Sheila's history, given her threats to his family.
He just wants to protect them as best as he can.
He wants due diligence. But I believe that deep down,
perhaps Finn didn't believe that Sheila was behind
Tom and Hollis's deaths. I'm really just worried
about Finn having to tell Steffy the news
and what her reaction might be. >> Steffy: Hope's just been
particularly difficult lately, and I'm trying so hard
not to lose my patience. >> Finn: You two
just don't understand each other's motives.
Maybe that's why you're... >> Steffy: Don't say what
I think you're gonna say here. >> Finn: Wait. What?
What am I gonna say? >> Steffy: I don't know,
that maybe Hope and I align on more than we think.
Okay, maybe Hope and I have similar adjacent goals,
but Hope is fighting me on everything.
And Brooke isn't helping. I feel like I'm in this
impossible situation with these two women who are against me.
[phone chimes] Ugh! Hold on.
Let me check this. I think it could be the distributor.
Oh. It's my dad. [gasps] What?
>> Finn: What? Everything okay? >> Steffy: Sheila.
She's been released? What?
Wait. You already know?
>> Finn: Yeah. Deacon just texted me.
>> Steffy: Why didn't you tell me that?
>> Finn: Well, honestly, I was torn.
>> Steffy: Sheila's been released?
>> Finn: Yeah. >> Steffy: What are
they thinking?
>> Katie: Don't you think
that everything, this whole situation
with Poppy and Luna has just moved a little too fast?
>> Bill: I've already missed out on so much, Katie,
and I don't like wasting time. You know that.
>> Katie: But that doesn't mean you have to move them
into your home and create this whole family unit.
I mean, how well do you know them?
>> Bill: I know enough. They're family.
What more do I need to know? All right, listen, I really
do appreciate your concern. And if the roles reversed,
I'm sure I'd react the same way. [Katie laughs]
>> Bill: Okay, fine. Fine. Yeah, I would be--
I'd be much worse. But I'm telling you,
your concern in this case is unwarranted.
>> Katie: Well, I wish I felt the same way.
>> Bill: You said you wanted to talk about Will.
>> Katie: Yes. Will. He's going to be home soon,
and I'm concerned about how he's going to fit into this
whole thing with Poppy and her-- and your daughter.
>> Bill: I'm sure it's all going to work out.
Our son is nothing if not resilient.
And you know what? He may love having a sister.
[Katie sighs] Okay, I can see that we're
going to come to no sort of agreement on this thing,
and I have somewhere to go. >> Katie: Okay, well,
I've got some paperwork that I need to find for Will,
and I think it's-- I think it's around here.
I think it's in there. >> Bill: Okay, well,
you're good. I've got to get to this meeting.
Right? You're good. >> Katie: But--Before you go,
I know that you're enamored with the idea of having
a daughter. >> Bill: It's not an idea,
Katie. Luna is my daughter,
and I love her, and I vowed to take care of her.
In fact, uh, we have discussed adoption.
I'd like to make it official and give Luna the Spencer name.
>> Katie: Oh, my God. Bill, Poppy and Luna have not been
in your life that long. I mean, you've moved them
into your home, into Will's home,
and now you're talking about adoption
and giving her your name? You need to be careful here,
because I know you don't want to believe it, but I get
a weird vibe from Poppy. Just please tell me
that you're being cautious.
I'll be cautious. [kisses]
I've got to get to this meeting.
[scoffs]
[door closes]
>> Poppy: Anything I can help you find?
>> Katie: Oh. I didn't know that you were here.
>> Poppy: You know, this is becoming a habit.
>> Katie: What is? >> Poppy: Walking in and finding
you in Bill's arms.
♪♪♪
>> Brooke: Well, I hope Finn doesn't tell Steffy
that he's relieved, because I don't think that's
gonna go over well. >> Hope: But his feelings
are valid, Mom. He should be able to tell
his wife how he feels without it being some big betrayal.
>> Brooke: Steffy has been very upfront with Finn
when it comes to Sheila. >> Hope: And Finn has been
a wonderful husband to her. He has been loving
and understanding and committed. >> Brooke: Right.
Committed to Steffy. Now, I don't need
to remind you, do I, that he is married to Steffy.
>> Hope: You can stop reminding me, Mom. I know.
>> Brooke: Mm-hmm. >> Hope: But I do question
more and more if Steffy deserves a man like Finn.
>> Steffy: No, no, no, Finn. This can't be happening again.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> Finn: It's just--
It's shocking. >> Steffy: No, no. How--
How do the authorities just let her go like that?
God, I thought that I could finally feel safe again,
that I could finally breathe, and then--
I can't believe I allowed this. I can't believe I allowed this.
>> Finn: Wait, wait, wait. What did you allow? Okay,
her release isn't on you. >> Steffy: No, that I allowed
myself to believe that justice would finally be served.
But now Sheila is out again, and now she has another
opportunity to strike. She has another opportunity
to show up at our house unannounced.
You could be manipulated. She could hurt me or the kids.
It just adds a whole other level of panic.
How is this not over? I thought this fear could finally subside,
this nightmare was over. Oh, my God.
I don't understand this. It had to have been Sheila.
♪♪♪
>> Poppy: I keep finding you in my home,
badmouthing me to Bill. >> Katie: Well, I care
about Bill. He's the father of my son.
He's important to me. >> Poppy: Bill is also
the father to my daughter, so obviously
he's important to me, too. >> Katie: Well, if you want to
know what I was saying to him, I'm happy to tell you.
I'm not here to hide anything. >> Poppy: No need,
because I heard it all, every word, how you think
this is moving too quickly, how he doesn't know us
well enough. And I agree.
Katie, no one is more surprised and shocked than I am.
Luna and I are not trying to invade or overtake anything.
We are here because Bill invited us, and he's been
more than generous and an absolute gentleman.
>> Katie: Ever the accommodating girlfriend.
>> Poppy: That's right. I am his girlfriend.
And I'm not going to hide how much I love him.
You let him go. You having a little bit
of seller's remorse, Katie? It's kind of obvious.
You want Bill back, don't you?
♪♪♪
>> Finn: I hate how upset you are.
And I totally understand. All I can do is assure you
that you and the kids will always be safe.
>> Steffy: No, you make me feel safe.
You do. >> Finn: Yeah.
>> Steffy: And when you supported me
when they took Sheila in for questioning, like,
that meant the world to me. I just don't understand
why the police could do something like this.
Like, how could they let her go? >> Finn: All we know is that--
that there wasn't anything tying her to the scene.
>> Steffy: Oh, God. >> Finn: And it's a possible
lack of motive. >> Steffy: You can't be serious.
>> Finn: No, no, no. Think about it, babe.
I mean, Tom, why would Sheila kill the man
that saved her life and officiated their wedding?
And Hollis was a longtime employee, Deacon's friend.
I don't--Like, what would the motive be there?
>> Steffy: I don't know. Who knows why Sheila
does what she does? What I do know
is that this woman is evil, and she is capable
of doing something like this. >> Finn: I agree. She's capable.
And don't get me wrong. I am grateful that Chief Baker
took her in for questioning. It was the right thing to do.
>> Steffy: Well, if Sheila didn't do it, who did?
Who?
>> Poppy: Just admit it, Katie. This is not about Luna and me.
It never has been. This is about you
and your feelings for Bill. >> Katie: Something
doesn't make sense. I mean, you show up in town,
and seemingly overnight, you have this daughter
with Bill. It was so abrupt, so sudden.
I mean, I have a right to question that.
This is the house where Bill and I raised our son.
>> Poppy: Not anymore. This is now the house
where Bill and I are raising our daughter.
>> Katie: You know, Will be home soon.
He's gonna be here, which means I'm gonna be here.
>> Poppy: So you'll visit, and then you'll leave.
[Katie sighs] >> Katie: Something
doesn't add up. Bill doesn't see it because
he's so in love with this idea of having a daughter.
But I see it. Your story has holes.
You hooked up with Bill at a music festival
a long time ago. So if you were
that casual with men, then there must
have been others. How many?
You know, I've talked to Luna. She's told me how much
she wanted to know who her father was
and how much she wanted to have him in her life.
And yet you've suspected for all of these years
that Bill could be her father and you kept it from her?
I mean, why would you wait 20 years
to take the steps, to find out for sure,
to finally take a paternity test?
Now you're here, lady of the manor,
protecting your relationship with Bill,
as if you're worried that someone's gonna sneak in
and take it away from you. It's almost as if
you're hiding something that could ruin everything.
Oh, I've got a lot of questions about you, Poppy,
and I'm gonna find out the answers to every
single one of them.
