how much I needed this. >> Finn: Actually,
I think I do. In fact, I will hold you

this entire nightmare's over. >> Steffy: Will it be?
Or is Sheila gonna be in our lives forever?
>> Finn: Well, Sheila's in custody, right?
Maybe we'll luck out. >> Steffy: You heard Bill
what he'll do if she doesn't get released.
>> Finn: Would he, though? After all this time, he would
come forward about what your mom did and turn her in.
>> Steffy: He's determined to help Sheila
resorting to blackmail. I mean, there are so many women
he could choose from, women who actually add
to his life, fulfill him. And who does he turn to?
Sheila. Sheila Carter. >> Sheila: Are you sure
it's safe to talk? >> Bill: I have taken care
of everything, but nothing is guaranteed.
So I wanna err on the side of caution.
Keep your voice down and keep your distance.
>> Sheila: Yeah. But if we have this
room to ourselves. >> Bill: That's the very
opposite of what I just said. And it makes me wonder
if you're trying to avoid an answer.
>> Sheila: What? >> Bill: I need
to know if this is real. >> Sheila: I can't believe you
even feel you have to ask that. >> Bill: I have felt like this
before, only to be let down. I'll not be used.
Is that what you're doing, Sheila?

Well, my visit did go well. Yeah. I just can't get over it.
Sheila finally captured, and that's all because of Bill.
He's really a hero. >> Steffy: If we give in,
if we trade Sheila's freedom for my mother's,
we're endangering all of us. Why can't Bill see that?
>> Finn: He can't see anything, Steffy.
Sheila's got some sort of emotional hold on him.
>> Steffy: And that is a truly frightening thought
to know that Bill has some like sick crush on a psychopath.
What do we do, Finn? What do we do?
Sheila cannot be released. But if Bill is serious about
threatening my mom, I think our--
our hands are tied. I don't know.

One very important question. Who is throwing the party?
Me or you? >> Steffy: Ah, party?

When Bill found out that I was concerned about him, it--
he seemed surprised. >> Carter: Did he?
>> Katie: Yeah. >> Carter: Well, knowing Bill
he had something sarcastic to say.
>> Katie: I-- that's just it. I mean, he has, shall we say,
a big personality, and none of that was there.
That bluster. It was like
he was so vulnerable. Something that I've
barely seen. Something's been off with him
for a while lately. >> Carter: Well,
it's a good thing he wasn't the least bit off when Sheila
came knocking on his door. We all owe Bill our gratitude,
and now we can focus on other things.
Better things. >> Katie: Mm.
Much better things. >> Taylor: [ chuckles ] Steffy,
you should have heard me when I got your text
that Sheila had finally been arrested.
I screamed, "Yes!" right in the middle
of my colleague's speech. Now he won't stop talking
to me about alternative modalities for anxiety.

>> Taylor: It was great. Sold out.
Thank you. That--
I don't wanna talk about that. I wanna hear about how
everything went down. So-- so wait.
Bill is the one that found Sheila and turned her in?

the two of us? >> Sheila: Well,
given the way things have gone the last few weeks,
I'd say yes. >> Bill: Why did you
follow me that night? >> Sheila: From El Giardino?
I-- I don't know. I saw you sitting at the bar
by yourself, staring off, and you just looked so lonely.
And it intrigued me. I'll be honest, I was bored.
I was bored. My situation being alone
and following you, well, that was going to be an adventure.
The all-powerful rich, mighty Bill Spencer,
where was he heading off to? >> Bill: Not what you expected,
I'm sure. >> Sheila: No,
it definitely wasn't. I never expected you
to walk down the beach and plop yourself down in the sand.
And I knew that approaching you would be a risk.
But I don't know, there was just--
there was something that said I had to take that chance.
>> Bill: We talked until the sun came up.
>> Sheila: And you could have called the police.
You could have easily overpowered me.
Turned me in. But you didn't. And I-- I still,
still can't believe that. >> Bill: I can't either.
There was something about the desperation in your voice,
the loneliness in your eyes. That night,
we connected in a way. Well, like you said,
in a way that I've never connected with anyone.
My God, what does that say about me?
>> Sheila: That says you're tired of faking who you are
and that you've been with the wrong women.
You've been with good girls most of your life.
