You seem a little flustered. [ Hope chuckles ]
You're not thinking about Steffy's husband again, are you?
>> Steffy: Thank you.
>> Ridge: I'm right about this. It's a great PR push.
Brooke back at the bedroom line. >> Steffy: I just don't think
we should be putting Brooke front and center. We need to
talk about this before we commit to anything.
>> Ridge: I'm trying to talk to you about it, but it looks
like you're on a different planet today.
>> Steffy: I just have a lot of things on my mind, Dad.
>> Ridge: Can I help? >> Steffy: It's about Hope.

beautiful bride to ever walk down the aisle.

Not too shabby yourself. Check you out in that suit.

my love.
[ Deacon clears throat ] >> Deacon: Hey.

It is so good to see you. Look, we're-- we're
looking at wedding pictures. >> Finn: Mm.
>> Sheila: Come on. Come take a look.
You know, this is my favorite. I put a heart on it.
See the hearts? It's the one standing next
to my husband and you. >> Finn: Yeah, no, uh,
that's the one that was posted on the Il Giardino account.
I had to explain a lot that day. >> Sheila: I really didn't even
think about that, sweetheart. We were--
we were just so excited and newlyweds just wanting
to blast out the news.
And I gotta say, it really did mean the world to us
that you were there to share our special day.

memorable, Finn. >> Finn: Yeah, well, it's
kind of why I'm here. >> Deacon: You know what, let's,
uh-- let's not overwhelm Finn with our sappy stroll down
memory lane, what do you say? >> Sheila: But I'm never gonna
forget that. I am never gonna forget seeing you walk
through that door. >> Finn: Yeah, well, I wasn't
planning on being here. I was coming here to pick up food.
>> Sheila: Yeah, there are no coincidences in life, okay?
Everything happens for a reason. >> Finn: Yeah, well, either way,
my presence at your wedding caused some serious trouble

>> Steffy: Hope is stirring things up again.
>> Ridge: In what way? >> Steffy: I'm just so tired.
>> Ridge: Listen, the two of you have been knocking horns
since you were kids. This is nothing new.
>> Steffy: I-- I'm used to Hope messing with me. I learned not
to let her get under my skin. But now she's involving
my husband. She's encouraging Finn to have a relationship
with Sheila. It's like Hope and Sheila are best friends now,
and that is exactly why I don't want Hope anywhere near
my husband.
>> Brooke: I'm right, aren't I?
Oh, God, honey, Finn's been on your mind way too much.
>> Hope: I don't know what it is.
>> Brooke: Just snap out of it! You can't be thinking about
Steffy's husband like this. You do realize that, don't you?

put him out of my head, but yes, I-- I can't lie to you.
I-- I did have a daydream about him.

>> Sheila: I'm sorry that Steffy reacted so negatively to
you coming to our wedding. >> Finn: Well, this is the one
thing she asked me not to do. >> Deacon: Yeah, but it wasn't
your fault. You thought we were getting hitched at the beach.
>> Sheila: Why can't she just look at something through
your perspective once? I mean, she's got to know how tough
all of this is on you. I mean, can't Steffy just
crack the door a little? The possibility that you
might be right about me, that-- that I have changed?
>> Finn: I think that's asking a lot considering your past
with Steffy. >> Deacon: You know, Sheila's
apologized. She practically begged Steffy for forgiveness.
>> Sheila: I would do anything, anything to take back
the pain that I've caused. >> Deacon: You know, look, Finn,
it's one thing if Steffy doesn't have any room in her heart
for Sheila, but what's the harm in letting you see her
once in a while? >> Sheila: I am not
a threat to you. I-- I love you and Hayes.
I-- I would love Steffy if she would let me.
>> Finn: Well, she won't. >> Deacon: You know, she just
wants to be a part of your life in some way.

I'm happy that you guys are married,

with you goes, I have to respect
my wife's wishes. ♪♪
>> Ridge: How often do Hope and Finn get together?
>> Steffy: Well, I don't think they plan it, but it is a lot.
They were here in this office the other day.
>> Ridge: She doesn't get to do that. She doesn't get
to try to influence Finn. He needs to learn to
stay away from Sheila. >> Steffy: Well, Hope has
a very different opinion. She thinks that I'm wrong
telling Finn to stay away from Sheila.
>> Ridge: She doesn't get to do that. She doesn't
get to make that call. >> Steffy: That we can agree on.

So, what brought this on? What fueled this?
>> Hope: Well, I-- Finn just happened to be here
a little earlier. >> Brooke: He was here earlier?
>> Hope: Yes. Beth's fever spiked.
I was really worried because we couldn't get into
the pediatrician until tomorrow, so I called Finn for advice,
and then he volunteered to come over and check on her.
And Mom... you should've seen him with her.
I mean, he was just so caring and compassionate.
>> Brooke: Yes, of course he is, sweetheart.
He's a doctor. That's what he does.
It's his job. It's his nature. The way you're talking,
it's like you're-- you're falling for Finn.

>> Deacon: Well, you gotta admit, it was kind of nice
of Finn to come down and congratulate us.

>> Deacon: Come on. Look, he could've texted.
He could've called. But instead, he came down
in person. You gotta know that you matter to your son.
[ Sheila sighs ] >> Sheila: I-- I know
that Finn loves me. He wanted to stay.
He wanted to chat, have a glass of-- of wine,
have a moment with me, his-- his mother, with us.

She would've had him packing his bags.

you gotta understand, right? You know, who cares, right?
So she's not gonna invite us over for brunch anytime soon.
She doesn't look like she can cook anyway.

Steffy, I would have a future with my son and my grandson.

You can't see him, Hope. I mean, this is crazy.
You're already teetering on the edge.

I don't want to feel this way, Mom. I-- I know right from
wrong, and the last thing I wanna do is get anywhere close
to Steffy's husband. >> Brooke: I hope you mean that.
>> Hope: I do. >> Brooke: Okay.
I just don't want you to make the same mistakes that I made.
>> Hope: I won't. I just... I can't help but feel that
Steffy doesn't appreciate him. She's always bossing him around,
telling him what to do, forbidding him from
seeing his birth mother. >> Brooke: Well, she has
a valid point. I mean, just because your father
married Sheila, it doesn't make Sheila any less vicious.
>> Hope: All I am trying to say is that I can see Finn's
point of view. I understand it. Whereas Steffy,
I don't think she's even trying to make an effort.
>> Brooke: Okay. Well, it's a different circumstance.
Steffy was shot, right? So you have to think about it
from her side. I mean, I usually don't agree with Steffy,
but in this case, I do. I don't think Finn should be
anywhere near his mother. >> Hope: Okay, but if Sheila
really has changed and the kids are safe and they are protected,
then why can't we let him decide for himself?
Why can't we let him make up his own mind instead of
everyone else weighing in? I mean, God, it's just--
You can't deny that Steffy, she's controlling him.
>> Brooke: Oh, honey. That's their relationship.
You need to let them deal with that.
You have to stay out of it. Please tell me
you understand that. >> Hope: My gosh,
of course I do, all right? I don't-- I don't want to be
feeling this way. I-- I can't even begin to believe
that I'm even attracted to him. >> Brooke: Okay, don't say that
out loud. >> Hope: I can't help it, okay?
I've been trying to fight that feeling. It's just,
can you really blame me? He's kind. He's compassionate.

I have a crush, right? But it's a harmless crush.
That's all it is. It's not going to hurt anyone,

And I don't like keeping things from you. I stopped by
Il Giardino earlier. No, it's not what you think.

really upset you, and I made it clear to her
that you, you are my priority. I mean, my wife and children.

I just wish you would avoid Sheila altogether.

so she'd take me seriously and understand that
there's no changing my mind. >> Steffy: I get that.
But you have to realize when you go to see Sheila and
you tell her that you need distance from her, you are
sending her mixed signals. >> Finn: Well, that's
never my intention. >> Steffy: Babe, I-- I get it.
But Sheila is a psychopath. She's a stalker. She perceives
things differently. >> Finn: You're right.
I guess I didn't consider that, but I do think that
