>> Liam: Good to see you. >> Carter: Good to see you.
>> Eric: All right. So Steffy wants us all in
here as soon as possible. Right away.
Has she given any reason? >> Carter: Not to me.
>> Brooke: No. She just said ASAP.
>> Liam: Well, it's not business, right?
'Cause why am I here? >> Hope: I mean, do you
think it's about maybe Ridge and Taylor not getting married?
>> Carter: I heard Taylor left town.
>> Eric: Yeah. Ridge did too. >> Hope: But they didn't
leave together. >> Brooke: No.
I urged Ridge to take some time for himself and figure out
what it is he wants. I love him,
but he needs to commit to me. We can't do this back
and forth with Taylor. >> Hope: Proud of you for that.
I-I still can't believe that that wedding almost went
through though, based on a lie. >> Liam: Well, it goes to show
Thomas' scheme almost worked. >> Eric: I still can't
believe that he did this. That he--
that he used Douglas's app on his phone to make
his voice sound like yours. So it sounded like you were
turning him in to-- to Child Protective Services.
Who does that? So disappointed in him.
>> Hope: So am I. >> Carter: Has anyone
heard from Thomas? >> Eric: No.
He's keeping a pretty low profile.
>> Hope: Well, the good news is Douglas
is back home with Liam, Beth, and me.
>> Hope: Thank God for that. No offense, Eric.
>> Eric: None taken. [ door opens ]
>> Steffy: Hi. >> Finn: Hey everyone.
Thank you for meeting so quickly.
[ door closes ] >> Steffy: I know
you're wondering why we wanted to see you.
Finn and I have some shocking news.
Sheila Carter is alive. ♪♪♪
[ door opens ] >> Deacon: Where the hell
have you been? >> Sheila: Talking
like you missed me. >> Deacon: Sheila, you can't be
running around LA like this. >> Sheila: Hello.
I am in disguise in case you didn't notice.
You are giving me a serious case of whiplash, Deacon.
I-- you want me gone and then the next minute you're upset
because I didn't stay put. You can't have it both ways.
Although given your reaction action, I'd have to say you do
want me up close and personal. >> Deacon: Stop fooling around.
I thought you got caught. >> Sheila: [ chuckles ] Caught?
Who'd be looking? Everyone thinks I'm dead.
>> Deacon: Not anymore. >> Sheila: What do you mean?
>> Deacon: I mean, Steffy and Finn figured it out.
They know you're alive. >> Sheila: No. No. No, no.
No!

>> Brooke: What are you saying? >> Liam: Wait, you--
are you serious? >> Eric: That's not possible.
>> Hope: Sheila was mauled by a bear.
>> Carter: There's no way she could have survived that.
>> Finn: That's what we thought too.
>> Steffy: What we were supposed to think.
>> Finn: Steffy and I believed that we have proof that Sheila
is most definitely alive. >> Sheila: Okay.
So what's this game you're playing?
>> Deacon: I'm not playing any game.
I'm just telling you what happened last night.
>> Sheila: Finn and Steffy figured out that I'm alive.
>> Deacon: Yep. >> Sheila: You're exaggerating.
You-- are just messing with me so I leave peacefully?
>> Deacon: Sheila, they were here last night.
>> Sheila: Finn and Steffy were here.
>> Deacon: Yes. And imagine my surprise.
But I was a lot more surprised to learn that they know
you're still alive. >> Sheila: But how?
I mean, there's no possible way they--
>> Deacon: Your toe. Your crazy smart gifted son,
the doctor, he took a look at it,
put it under a microscope, and figured out it was cut off.
Not that it was chewed, not that it was gnawed off
by some wild animal. >> Sheila: No, no.
No. You're saying this
just to freak me out. >> Deacon: Are you
kidding? I'm the one who's been freaking out.
Don't you get it? This is the end of the line.
You gotta get the hell out of LA and never come back.
♪♪♪
>> Hope: This is insane. Sheila cut off her own toe.
>> Carter: I'm not saying I'm doubting you, but it's hard
to believe she pulled this off. >> Steffy: What she did
is diabolical. >> Carter: Aside from the toe,
is there any other evidence? >> Finn: There's bloody
clothing that appeared to be torn,
not clawed. And she could have used
the severed toe to cover it with blood.
>> Brooke: With anybody else involved, this scenario
would seem unbelievable. But now knowing that Sheila's
at the center, this-- this is all making horrible sense.
>> Eric: Did you talk to the police about this?
>> Finn: Right before we got here.
The forensics team is reinvestigating.
>> Carter: Okay. According to you,
the toe tells the tale. It's cut off this case closed.
But if that's the case, then why were the cops so quick
to accept Sheila's death? >> Finn: All the pieces seem
to add up. I mean-- I mean, full
disclosure, we're not saying with a hundred percent absolute
certainty that Sheila is alive. >> Steffy: But it is what
we believe. >> Eric: Well, if it's true,
if Sheila is out there, we all have to be very careful.
>> Steffy: Yes. We already have a security
team ready to go. >> Hope: I wonder where
she could be hiding out. >> Steffy: We asked your father
the exact same question. ♪♪♪
>> Sheila: Are you sure you just didn't
misunderstand Finn and Steffy? >> Deacon: Seriously?
Seriously? What, you think I don't speak English?
No. There was no room for misinterpretation here.
They think, they know that you
faked your own death. Look,
the circumstances have changed Sheila dramatically exactly
the way I said they would. >> Sheila: You should just
calm down. Okay? They have a theory,
but they can't prove anything. >> Deacon: They've
seen the evidence. Your son, the doctor, he looked
at the toe under a microscope. >> Sheila: Still,
it's only his opinion. >> Deacon: Sheila,
the cops are gonna see this. They're gonna reopen
the investigation and then they're gonna be convinced too.
All right? You-- you hear that sound?
You know what that is? That's the walls closing in,
babe. >> Sheila: Stop panicking.
>> Deacon: Really? Stop panicking.
When the hell should-- should I panic, when the cops
are dragging our ass back to prison?
Would that be a good time? >> Sheila: We're-- we're not--
we're not-- >> Deacon: I can't do this
I can't do this anymore. All right. I am done.
I cannot risk everything that I have built.
I can't. You need to leave. >> Sheila: Deacon I just--
>> Deacon: Sheila, please. I don't wanna see you go down.
I don't, but I can't prop you up anymore.
I can't do it. I gotta think of my-- I gotta
think of myself and I gotta think of my daughter.
>> Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you counting
me out is a big mistake. >> Deacon: You keep talking
about second chances and-- and-- and ways out.
Don't you get it? There isn't one.
The cops are going to find you and it cannot be here.
You need to leave today. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: You spoke to my father?
>> Finn: We thought he might know something.
>> Hope: Well, he would have nothing to do with this.
He's trying to better himself in his life.
>> Steffy: Yeah, but Deacon and Sheila had a thing.
I mean, you two saw them at Il giardino together.
>> Hope: Yeah, but that was a very long time ago.
>> Steffy: We only asked a few questions.
>> Liam: Like what? >> Steffy: If he'd seen
or heard from Sheila. >> Finn: And if he had any idea
where she might be hiding out. >> Eric: And?
>> Steffy: He was as shocked as us.
>> Carter: Aren't we all. >> Finn: The bottom line
is Deacon says he hasn't heard from Sheila and has no idea
where she might be. >> Brooke: [ exhales ] God,
the thought of Sheila being alive.
>> Finn: Look we-- we don't have any definite proof yet.
>> Liam: But-- but you believe this, right?
>> Finn: With every instinct I have.
>> Steffy: Same. We know she's out there.
But we're gonna find her and put her behind
bars where she belongs. >> Sheila: So Finn and Steffy
put it all together. Wow.
You know, if-- if it didn't threaten my existence,
I would be so proud my son is brilliant.
>> Deacon: You're certifiable. You know that?
You're-- you're really gonna go there?
Okay, great. You know, whatever.
Be proud of your son. Just hit the bricks doing it.
All right? Go do it somewhere else.
>> Sheila: Okay. I know. I know I-- I can't--
I can't stay here any longer. >> Deacon: Oh my God.
Oh my God. She's got it. She's seen the light.
Perfect. I'll get your bag for you.
Okay? Look, I'm sorry, I don't mean
to throw you out, but it's just gotten too damn risky.
They can come back anytime. >> Sheila: I know.
I-- I get it. I am gonna
figure a way out of this. >> Deacon: Look, Sheila,
I don't wanna be Debbie Downer here, but Finn and Steffy, they
are like two dogs with a bone. They aren't gonna be
happy until you're behind bars. >> Sheila: That's
never gonna happen. I'm not going down
and neither are you. I appreciate you.
You gave me a place to stay. Human contact.
And we even had some laughs together, didn't we?
I am not gonna betray that. No one is ever gonna
know where I've been staying all this time.

letting you stay here. [ laughs ]

what happened in the alley. >> Steffy: I like the food.
And I'm not gonna give up a single thing that
gives me pleasure just because of Sheila Carter.
>> Finn: It's a good answer. >> Steffy: But we do
have to keep our guard up. Sheila poses a great threat
and we have to protect ourselves and our children.
But this, the joy that we have, I'm not gonna let Sheila
take it away from us. I mean,
it was quite the bombshell we dropped at Forrester, right?
>> Finn: Yeah. No one was expecting us
to say Sheila was still alive. >> Steffy: I know.
I'm just glad Mom and Dad are out of town.
Especially Mom. Sheila thought her
and my mom were best friends. How are you doing?
You haven't said much about knowing that your-- your
birth mother is still alive. How is it affecting you?

She shot me, Steffy. And I possibly may have been
able to get over that, but she shot you,
the woman that I love more than anything in this world.

oddly used to you. I'm gonna miss having

Something tells me that this is gonna be the last time I see
you without bars between us. >> Sheila: Well, I wouldn't put
your money on that. I'm not going back to prison.

Go your way and I go mine. >> Deacon: Do you have any idea

At this point, everybody knows how dangerous she is.

She's very resourceful. >> Brooke: And desperate.

out here doing what? Planning what?

Okay. They're gonna ramp up a search.
They're gonna get her. >> Steffy: When I think about
everything she put us through, the shooting,
holding you captive. And I thought I lost you
forever. >> Finn: You feel that?
It's me. I'm right here. It all worked out.

my miracle. [ church bell ringing ]

You're alive. >> Finn: Nothing was gonna stop
me from getting back to you. When Sheila was holding me
hostage, I knew that I had one job and that was to get
my strength back so I could get home to you,
to our family. Nothing in this world
can even come close to how much I love you.
Okay? And I hope those are
happy tears. >> Steffy: [ chuckles ]
