>> Thomas: I don't know how much longer I can do this,
Sheila.
Keeping your secret doesn't feel right.
>> Sheila: Oh, will you just ride it out, because
it's a means to an end, Thomas.
>> Thomas: what you did is despicable, switching
champagne labels to get Brooke drunk.
She's an alcoholic.
But you knew that, you did it anyway.
You traded Brooke's sobriety for a future with your son.
>> Sheila: Come on, this-- this has a lot more to
do than-- with just Finn.
I did this for you, for your parents.
>> Thomas: I don't want to hear that, Sheila,
that you did this for me and my mom and my sister.
Like this is some selfless act.
It's not.
You wanted a family with your son.
And what about Brooke, about Brooke and my dad?
Don't they deserve to know the truth?
Brooke would not have kissed Deacon on New Year's Eve
if she wasn't wasted.
And the only reason for that is because you orchestrated
the whole thing.
>> Sheila: I want you to think very carefully
about this, Thomas.
You say a word to anyone and you can kiss
your family's future goodbye.
>> Thomas: What good is reuniting my family if it's
built on a pack of lies?
>> Ridge: You've gotta stop.
>> Brooke: I can't stop, Ridge.
This is consuming me.
>> Ridge: You've gotta stop beating yourself up.
>> Brooke: I need to know why I drank that night.
I can't move forward with my life until I know.

>> Ridge: You had a bad night >> Brooke: Yeah.
>> Ridge: You weren't yourself.
>> Brooke: I don't even know who that person was.
>> Ridge: You don't have to know, you're never gonna
meet her again.
That's why you have sponsors, that's why you go to meetings,
leave the past in the past.
Stop torturing yourself, please.
>> Brooke: I'm afraid to look into the future.
Without you in it.
>> Ridge: Logan.
>> Brooke: Ridge, we've overcome so much,
we've come so far.
So why would I do this?
Why would I hurt and try to destroy our marriage like that?
I wouldn't do that.
Don't you see?
Come on.
There's something going on here. Something else.
I don't know what it is, but I have this feeling.
It's something or someone working against us.
>> Sheila: It's already done.
Thomas, we're at the finish line.
Just bite your tongue.
>> Thomas: It's not already done. This is a lie
by omission, okay?
And lies eat you from the inside out.
>> Sheila: Yeah, well, there's something else you need to know
Thomas, about our little meeting in the alley.
>> Thomas: Uh, I, um actually can't talk right now.
I got to go, okay.
>> Sheila: You better Hope Steffy doesn't ruin everything
for me, because I will not lose my relationship
with my son.
>> Steffy: Finn, oh, good, I thought you might be
down with a patient.
>> Finn: This is a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting
to see my gorgeous wife, what?
Something wrong?
>> Steffy: No, I--I don't even know what to say.
No, the kid-- kids are fine.
I just I don't even know where to begin.
>> Finn: Well, what happened?
>> Steffy: It's your mother, Sheila.
She's back to her old, manipulative ways.
>> Thomas: Are you sure that you weren't just trying
to see dad again?
[ Taylor laughing ] I'm kidding.
I'm not actually, I'm not.
>> Taylor: Ugh, you and Steffy.
>> Thomas: We just want you to be happy.
>> Taylor: I know that you want to see us together.
>> Thomas: And you want that too, right?
>> Taylor: Of course, of course, if-- if the
circumstances were right, but, at the moment,
they-- they're not right.
>> Thomas: Ah, You've made dad so happy.
And you guys seem perfect together and his--
his relationship with Brooke, It's never been the healthiest.
I mean, it's been toxic, almost, since day one.
She's hurt him over and over again.
I'm not just talking about the most recent incident, I'm
talking about all the things that she did in the past.
>> Taylor: I know this has gone on for such a long time.
This most recent situation, you know, Brooke kissing
Deacon and Deacon sleeping over her and her lying
about the whole night.
It was-- it was Brooke defending Deacon that sent
your dad over the edge.
And as it stands, you know, even though your dad says
that he wants to come home.
Brooke is your father's wife.
>> Brooke: You and I had disagreements about
Deacon when he came back into our lives.
I thought we reached a middle ground.
That we're doing it for Hope, for my daughter, for her sake.
But then, of course, I messed up and I did what
I did, and I-- I didn't realize how weak
and pathetic I was.
>> Ridge: You're not any of those things.
You're one of the strongest people I know.
And as far as that night, I think that is something
that both of us would like to just disappear.
>> Brooke: But it won't.
>> Ridge: No, it won't.
>> Brooke: So we just have to move forward, and we could do
that because we were happy.
We were content with our lives, Ridge, we had
everything we ever wanted.
And then this feeling just kind of started creeping in.
This feeling of evil.
I don't even know how to describe it.
This force that started taking over and I'm
telling you my gut kept saying, Well, it was screaming at me,
actually to keep digging.
Keep on searching for the answers.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
>> Sheila: You know, no matter how hard you try,
you're never going to be able to clean up that mess,
that is your life.
>> Deacon: Okay.
In the spirit of brevity, what's going on?
>> Sheila: I've been so patient Deacon, coming to L.A.,
staying in that hotel, hoping for a real
relationship with my son.
A chance to connect with my son and my grandson, being what
they want me to be.
What's it getting me?
>> Deacon: You know, I-- I remember this woman.
She looked a lot like you, who said,
"I always get what I want."
And what happened to that plucky,
albeit evil genius?
Where did she go?
>> Sheila: You do make me laugh. Things aren't going
quite as planned, and I'm really
starting to wonder if I'm even going to have a future
with Finn as long as he's married to Steffy.
>> Finn: What-- What are you talking about?
>> Steffy: My suspicions about Thomas.
>> Finn: Right right, yeah.
You said he-- he's not acting like himself.
>> Steffy: Yeah and then I found him talking to
Sheila in the alley behind Il Giardino.
>> Finn: Steffy. I think he's just been-- He's being
protective.
He's trying to look out for-- >> Steffy: No, that's not what
it's about, it's not that.
He wasn't telling Sheila to keep
her distance from us.
>> Finn: Okay, then what were they doing? I mean,
what are you getting at?
>> Steffy: I knew it.
I knew something was going on that Sheila was stirring
the pot, trying to become BFFs with my mom,
showing up at her work.
>> Finn: I told her to stop doing that.
>> Steffy: It's like she's been plotting this the whole time,
Finn.
>> Finn: Do I even wanna know?
>> Steffy: Your mom attacked Brooke.
>> Finn: What?
>> Steffy: Yeah.
Brooke's New Year's Eve, The booze, kissing Deacon,
inviting Deacon into my father's bed, that was all set
in motion by your mother.

>> Taylor: I must have done something right in this life
to have raised such wonderful kids.
>> Thomas: You've always been there for us, mom.
And if there's a chance that we could do something
for you, I'm sure Steffy would agree-- that we would
do anything for you.
>> Taylor: Thomas, you have grown into such a wonderful,
caring, honest, young man.
>> Thomas: I love you and dad so much, and I just want to do
what's best for you.
>> Ridge: I hate to see you like this.
>> Brooke: I thought you'd be better off without me,
but I was wrong.
>> Ridge: I-- I miss you all the time.
I'm concerned about you.
>> Brooke: You know, I can't get rid of this feeling,
you know, it's kind of like a loop going round and round
my head, 24 hours a day.
I just can't stop thinking about what I did to
you and how I hurt you.
>> Ridge: Can you do me a favor? Can you try
not to lose sight of who you are in all this?
Things you've done in your life,
things you've accomplished.
>> Brooke: But my life means nothing to me,
without you in it, you have to know that.
I'm not going to give up on us, Ridge.
I want you to come home.
I never should have set you free.
I never should have said that I was gonna
give you a divorce.
We will survive this.
Somehow, someway, we will find our way back to each other.
>> Steffy: Sheila sabotaged Brooke.
>> Finn: Wait, just slow down.
What does my mom have to do with New Year's Eve?
>>Steffy: Sheila changed the labels on the bottles.
Brooke thought she was having non-alcoholic champagne,
but she was actually drinking the real stuff.
And I think that's what caused her to start
doing shots of vodka.
Brooke, who's an alcoholic.
Like obviously, I'm not the biggest fan of Brooke,
but what your mother did is sick and evil, and that just
proves that she hasn't changed.
>> Finn: Who told you this?
Like-- How do you even know that this is true?
>> Steffy: I overheard Thomas talking to Sheila on the phone.
I don't know how he found out, but he's been
keeping this a secret.
And I-- I think that he wanted to tell my dad and Brooke,
but Sheila is trying to get him to stay silent.
>> Finn: Okay, this-- this is sounding insane.
Why-- why would Sheila do that to-- for what purpose?
>> Steffy: I-- I'm not sure.
All I know is that she wants to be part of your life.
She wants to be welcomed in our family.
But that is not happening now.
We have to stay away from her.
This just proves that Sheila cannot be trusted.
>> Finn: Have you talked to your brother about this?
>> Steffy: No, no.
I-- I was eavesdropping.
He was still on the phone with- [ phone dinging ]
