in the first place, and now he's going to marry her?

the plot completely. >> Brooke: This is terrible.
You weren't able to talk him out of it?
>> Hope: Well, Mom, he already proposed,
and she accepted, and they're planning a wedding.
>> Steffy: What morons are gonna go and watch
that train wreck of a wedding? Like, doesn't Deacon realize
he's being scammed? She's not a new person.
She's not this, like, well-adjusted person. My God.
>> Hope: Well, my... It was my dad's idea,
Steffy, and he loves her. >> Ridge: What?
That makes it worse. >> Brooke: Wow.
Sheila's snowed him completely. >> Steffy: Well, Sheila can
use Deacon, but she is not going to use Finn.
I'm not gonna let her try to lure him back into her life.
>> Sheila: I know that you care for me, Finn.
And you saved my life. Twice.
>> Deacon: You ran into that warehouse like
a damn superhero. >> Finn: I mean, I'm just,
I'm glad we were able to find you in time.
>> Sheila: Well, I'm never gonna forget the look
on your face when I came to, and the beautiful things
that you said to me, and how thrilled you were
that I was alive. >> Deacon: Still is.
Right, man? >> Finn I'm-- I--
it's good to see you recovering. And-- and making plans
for the future. >> Sheila: Okay, look.
Deacon is not trying to put you on the spot,
sweetheart. We know that this
isn't simple for you. And I-- I'm not trying
to make trouble for-- for you and Steffy,
and I keep saying that over and over again because
I truly mean that. But it would mean
the world to me if you could be there
for me on my wedding day. ♪♪♪
>> Brooke: Sheila's brought so much chaos and violence
into our lives. Why would Deacon want to be
with somebody like that? >> Hope: I-- I told you.
>> Ridge: No, she said they're in love, right?
What is wrong with you? Deacon is being played the same
way my dad was being played. >> Brooke: She can't be trusted.
>> Steffy: Yes. And I don't trust anyone
who thinks she can be. >> Hope: My-- my dad believes
that they will be happy together.

I don't give a damn. As long as Sheila and anyone
who supports her stays the hell away from Finn.
♪♪♪ >> Sheila: Our wedding just
won't be the same if you're not there.
>> Deacon: I thought I was putting the guy on the spot.
>> Finn: I support your relationship.
It's obvious Deacon is devoted to you,
and devotion is important in a marriage.
>> Sheila: Yeah. But it's something that
you can't do because your wonderful, uh,
over-controlling wife won't allow it?
>> Finn: I'm happy for you, Mom. Wish you and Deacon
all the best. >> Sheila: But, baby,
I want you to be a part of that happiness.
To-- to-- to join us. Is that too much to ask
for you to dig into that deep, generous heart of yours
that's so big? To just say yes?
Say that you will be Deacon's best man?
Is that-- is that too much for me to ask?
I-- I mean, we want you to be a part of our wedding.

>> Brooke: I understand you wanting to support your father,
but in this case... >> Ridge: You should just
stay away from him. And Sheila.
>> Steffy: That's what Finn's gonna do.
>> Brooke: And Hope is not gonna try to talk him out of it.
>> Steffy: I don't want Finn to even think about that woman.
>> Ridge: And Deacon shouldn't do that either, but that's
not gonna happen, is it? >> Hope: He's committed to her.
>> Brooke: Honey, if you put your foot down,
maybe he'll reconsider. >> Hope: Mom, I've cut Dad
out of my life already, and he still wanted
to see Sheila. >> Brooke: He's put
your family in danger. What about Beth?
You don't want to expose her to Sheila.
>> Hope: No, of course not. And I will always do everything
I can to protect the children. That would never--
>> Steffy: No, my children will never be around Sheila.
Look, if Deacon is foolish enough
to marry that woman, I don't care.
My focus is my husband and my kids.
He knows to stay away from that... psychopath.
>> Hope: So you gave him an ultimatum?
>> Steffy: You're damn right I gave him an ultimatum.
Like I said, Finn knows to stay away from her.
And if Deacon knows what's good for him,
he should stay away from her too.
>> Hope: So you've convinced Finn not to
see Sheila again? >> Steffy: Yeah.
Yeah, I don't care if Sheila's his biological mother.
I don't care that he tried to save her.
His loyalty and commitment are to me.
>> Deacon: I think we should give Finn a minute to think,
you know, not push. >> Sheila: I don't mean to, it--
it would just be so perfect to have you at our wedding.

>> Deacon: See, that's something.
>> Finn: And look, I-- I realize that...
you'd like more. >> Sheila: Look, I'm...
I'm just so thankful that you don't see me
as the monster everybody else does.
I mean, I know I've... I've done terrible things.
Things that I regret. And I never...
I never want to go back to that again.
No, I've been working really hard on myself.
And Deacon sees it. I know you do too, Finn.
I think Steffy would feel the same.
Baby, it wasn't that long ago I saved Steffy's mother's life.
Taylor and I on the roof. The hospital.
I mean, she was dangling over the edge.
I'm the one that pulled her to safety.
I did the same with Kelly at the beach.

♪♪♪ >> Sheila: Kelly, no!
>> Finn: I'm thankful you were there,
because if you hadn't been... >> Deacon: Sheila's not a threat
to your family, Finn. I mean, she risked her life

Sacrifice my-- my life, my freedom.
I'd do anything to protect your precious family.
No! [ Sugar growling ]
I only wish I could've spared Steffy from
what happened that night. >> Finn: Steffy
and the kids are fine. >> Sheila: Just this one thing.
Please, I-- Deacon and I
already talked about it. It's going to be simple.
You know, maybe at the beach. Very simple.
Come on. Surely you can talk Steffy
into just this one thing. It would mean so much to me.

that Deacon and I are-- are back together again, baby.

Fine. No, it's perfect. Thank you. Great.
The joys of running a company. Sorry. Where were we?

where Sheila's concerned. You do understand that,
don't you? >> Ridge: And her
coming back from the dead doesn't change that.
>> Brooke: And you can't start seeing Sheila
the way Deacon does. >> Hope: Oh, Mom, no.
I would never be able to forgive her for
the horrible things that she has done
or forget the many ways she has tried to hurt people
that I care about. But I also can't ignore
the fact that we now know it wasn't Sheila who was at
the cliff house that night. It wasn't Sheila that tried
to harm Steffy. She actually fought Sugar to try
to protect Steffy and the kids. I can't ignore that.
>> Brooke: You can't because you're a kind, caring,
compassionate person. But honey,
you cannot give Sheila any of your consideration.
>> Hope: But, Mom, don't you understand?
This isn't about Sheila for me. Look, I've already lost enough.
And I don't want to lose my relationship with Dad.
And so I'm just trying to maintain some kind of
bond with him. So... >> Brooke: Yeah, well,
that won't really happen if he's married to Sheila.

I didn't want to mention it in front of Steffy.
