in me, in my mother, my grandfather,
I mean, half of L.A, and yet, Hope is going to
Sheila's memorial. What?
>> Liam: Look, you don't get it and I don't get it, but
for Hope, this is just about supporting her father.
Listen, I don't have a ton of sympathy for Deacon
either, getting all, you know, involved with Sheila.
But what Hope says is that he's, uh...
like actually grieving. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: Did you, uh, want to go with my Dad?
>> Finn: Oh, what? To the crematorium? No,
I think that's a little much. Besides, I think it'll
be good for Deacon to have some time with her.
>> Hope: You really doing okay? >> Finn: Yeah.
Yeah, no, it felt good to you know, say
goodbye and get some closure. >> Hope: Yeah.
I'm sure it's still difficult. >> Finn: Yeah. Yeah.
That's probably why I'm so mixed up inside.
I don't know. I can't help it, Hope.
I mean, I know the world hates her, but part of me is sad
about the death of my birth mother.

Hallelujah. >> Eric: Yeah.

celebrating the demise of someone.
An ex at that. You know, I'm not saying
she's worth mourning. I'm not. It's just that...
my feelings are a little complex.
I mean, having been married to her and--
>> Lauren: Well, having almost been killed by her, my feelings
aren't complex at all. It's utter relief.
Pure bliss. ♪♪♪

>> Steffy: As difficult as this was for Thomas,
realizing that he doesn't have a future with Hope,
it's better that it happened now so he didn't get too sucked in.
>> Liam: You mean, so he didn't start obsessing over her yet.
>> Steffy: Okay, let's just say it's good that Thomas is
in Paris. He can move on with his life.
>> Liam: Yeah. Amen, sister. Hope, too.
>> Steffy: And this time, with someone who she'll really
commit herself to.
>> Finn: Thank you, by the way.
I appreciate you listening and being so sensitive and
caring about all this. >> Hope: Well, I am happy
to lend an ear anytime. I'm sure this isn't the easiest
subject to discuss with Steffy. I mean, grieving Sheila.
>> Finn: I mean, anything Sheila, really.
But I don't blame Steffy if she can't be as understanding.
Not after everything that Sheila put us through.
>> Hope: Yeah. >> Finn: But hey,
enough about me. How are you doing?
>> Hope: Oh, okay. You mean now that Thomas and
Douglas have left? >> Finn: Yeah.
>> Hope: Oh. >> Finn: I mean, I'm
not the only one grieving right now, right?
>> Hope: I, uh... Not going to lie and say
that it's been easy, because it has not been.
It's been extremely difficult. I miss them both a lot.
So I've just been trying to keep myself busy with work.
Overanalyzing as well, and also just coming to
terms with the fact that I... I broke Thomas's heart.
And that's why he left, because I couldn't accept his proposal.
>> Finn: Look, it may not seem like it now,
but I think that you are going to look back at this
time and be thankful it worked out this way.
>> Hope: All right, well, I guess I owe you a thank you now.
Thank you for just being a support.
>> Finn: You're welcome. Hey, look, the listening thing,
it can go both ways, right? So, if you ever feel like
you need to talk or cry, scream, whatever.
>> Hope: All of the above. >> Finn: Yeah.

Let's hear the super strong opinions

And look, I don't feel like I'm on the spot, but do you really
want to know what I think? >> Hope: Please.
The floor is yours.
>> Finn: Okay. I think that before you decide
on what happens next, you should probably reflect
on what happened before. And why.
>> Hope: So, you mean with Thomas?
You think there's a why? >> Finn: I think
a lot of what you did with Thomas was just
a reaction to Liam and his feelings for Steffy.
And consciously or not, it was just a way to lash out.
>> Hope: I suppose there could be
a grain of truth to that, but a very, very small grain.
>> Finn: Look, and I-- I understand. Like, it's--
it's complicated, right? I get it.
You did have genuine feelings for the guy.
He was someone who gave you commitment, and that is
something that you and everyone absolutely deserves.
>> Hope: Just not with Thomas. >> Finn: Hope,
given your history, I doubt that there could have
ever been any real trust between you two.
True commitment. I mean, not on your part, at least.
Not after what happened with Beth.
And, look, maybe... maybe I shouldn't say it, but--

and smooth things over with Liam.

In a way nobody ever-- I just thought we'd have

Only you know what is in your heart,

I am going to concentrate on my career, my children.

it was either her or me that night,
