>> Steffy: You haven't changed,
Sheila. >> Sheila: Brooke is the one
that hasn't changed. Boozing it up with Deacon,
cheating on your father the first opportunity she had.
>> Steffy: Because of you. This chance at a relationship
with Finn, with Hayes, it's over.
It is never gonna happen now that I have proof
that you're still the same manipulative sociopath
you have always been. Targeting Brooke like that?
>> Sheila: You don't know what you're talking about.
>> Steffy: Oh, stop denying it, Sheila! Stop denying it.
I know how sick you are, how far you're willing to go.
I know what you did to Brooke.
>> Hope: Well, I, um, tried to stop by the house earlier,
but you weren't home. >> Brooke: I went to the office
to see Ridge. >> Hope: Oh.
And, uh, how did that go? Any progress?
>> Brooke: He says that he misses me.
He's concerned. >> Liam: Of course
he's concerned. That goes along with loving you.
>> Brooke: He may care about me, but doesn't mean he's gonna
get past what happened. I betrayed his trust.
Now I have to deal with the consequences,
whatever they may be.
>> Thomas: That's an odd way to put it.
>> Taylor: What? >> Thomas: That there is nothing
I wouldn't do to get you and dad back together.
>> Taylor: Okay, when you say it like that, it does sound
a little weird. Honey, I just--
I know how much this means to you and Steffy.
I know how much you wanna see your father and me
back together. >> Thomas: And that's what you
want too, right?

>> Hope: Mom, whether Ridge forgives you or not,
you have to forgive yourself and move on.
>> Brooke: That's what Ridge said.
He said I need to stop torturing myself
and stop living in the past. >> Liam: He's right
about that much. Self-flagellating
isn't gonna help anyone. >> Brooke: You think I like
being stuck like this? I don't. Constantly wondering
what happened to me, why I let Ridge slip away.
>> Hope: [scoffs] But you haven't. Not yet.
>> Brooke: He doesn't live here anymore, does he?
He seems happier over at Steffy's.
And who can blame him? I think he feels safer
with Taylor. >> Hope: Well, that might be
a temporary situation, because, Mom, I mean,
at the end of the day, you are still married to him.
And unless that changes, you still have a chance.
>> Ridge: Ah, good.
You're still here. >> Thomas: I will be
till I finish this sketch. >> Ridge: I was talking
to the pretty one. >> Taylor: Well, then you were
talking to Thomas. [laughs] I'm gonna head out
so you guys can work. >> Ridge: Wait, wait, wait.
Without answering the question? I mean, I overheard you guys.
>> Thomas: Yeah, Mom. Answer the question.
>> Taylor: Oh! >> Ridge: I--I was only kidding.
>> Taylor: The question. Do I wanna get back together
with this guy?
What do you think?
>> Sheila: If I did anything to Brooke--
>> Steffy: If?
>> Sheila: I'm not saying that I did, but--
>> Steffy: I overheard Thomas talking to you on the phone.
Talking about he couldn't take it--the little secret
he was keeping? How you switched the labels
on Brooke's bottle. She thought she was drinking
non-alcoholic champagne, but you made sure
it was the real stuff. No wonder she turned to vodka.
She was drunk because of you. >> Sheila: Okay.
Fine. It's true. I did it.
I'm the one that got Brooke to drink, and it's a damn
good thing that I did. You should be on your knees,
Steffy, thanking me profusely. Because of me,
I'm the one that got your father away from Brooke.
And yet here you stand, lashing out at me,
judging me, telling me I will have
no place in my son's life? No!
If anything, I just solidified my place in his life, in yours.
Don't tell me... this isn't what you've
always wanted. Because we know it's exactly
what you've wanted.
You're welcome.

>> Brooke: I'm not giving up. I know Ridge is extremely hurt.
But I also know that he still wants to be with me.
>> Hope: There you go. So have faith in that.
>> Liam: Yeah. That is what's gonna get you
through, just knowing that you belong together.
>> Brooke: We do.
I pleaded for him to come home. >> Hope: And what did he say?
>> Brooke: Uh, nothing much really. But I could tell
he was quite torn about it. For now, he's staying put,
living with Steffy and Taylor. Steffy is harassing Ridge
at home, and Thomas is harassing Ridge
at the office. They're doing everything
they possibly can to keep Ridge and me apart.
>> Taylor: Okay. Um, I think--I think everyone
knows how I feel. As a matter of fact, I think
I've been too honest about where I stand
on wanting a happy life with your father.
But I've--I've also told Steffy and Thomas that I think
it's really important that-- that you just heal right now,
and you don't know any pressure from anyone.
Do you feel pressure from me? >> Ridge: I don't.
>> Taylor: A little bit? >> Ridge: Mm-mmm.
>> Taylor: No? From the kids? >> Ridge: No. Not at all.
A thousand times a day maybe. >> Thomas: Okay. All right.
Maybe we're a little vocal. >> Taylor: A little?
A "lottle." >> Thomas: [laughs]
>> Ridge: A lottle? Really? A lottle? Yes. With rapid fire.
>> Taylor: Yes. >> Ridge: A lottle.
>> Taylor: Yes. >> Ridge: Wow.
>> Taylor: So see, Thomas, th--this is what it is.
I-- You have to ease up
on all of this. You can't put any more pressure
on us, okay? Seriously, you can't.
'Cause we don't know what's gonna happen.
Your dad could go back to Brooke at any time.
>> Thomas: I know. >> Taylor: Do you, though?
>> Thomas: Yes. Yes. If--If...
you and dad decide to make a go of it,
and I'm pretty sure that you will,
then... he has to want to be with you as
much as you wanna be with him and not because Steffy and I
just said that you guys should be together.
>> Ridge: Pretty insightful. >> Taylor: It is.
>> Thomas: Well, it's true. >> Taylor: Yes, it's very true.
So, you're promising us, right? No more parent trap.
You won't do or say anything that could interfere
with your dad's decision about his marriage to Brooke.
>> Steffy: You think I should
be thanking you?
>> Sheila: You wanna see your parents together, don't you?
That's what's happening, isn't it?
Is it because of something that--that you or Thomas did?
No. It's because of me.
Because I took the initiative while you all set around
watching your father waste his life away on a drunken slut.
>> Steffy: You mean alcoholic in recovery who hadn't been
tempted to drink in years until you tricked her to do it.
>> Sheila: I allowed her the ability to have
what she really wanted. I allowed her to stop
suppressing her desire to drink, to cheat.
And it's a good thing that I did.
Because of Brooke's little slipup,
your father is living at your house
with your mother. A woman that he has
always admired. And it won't be long before
they're back together again. That's what I want, Steffy.
I want that for both of them. I want that for you
and Thomas, for the children. You deserve
to have your family reunited. >> Steffy: Why do you even care?
>> Sheila: Because you're my family too.
I know--I know that you don't... like to hear that
and that you have a hard time dealing with that,
but you'll be able to one day. You'll be able to accept me
the same way that your mother has.
She probably hasn't said anything, but...
she's so wonderful. By giving me...
a chance, believing that I've changed.
>> Steffy: No, you haven't. What you did to Brooke
proves it. You're just as dangerous.
You are just as manipulative. You will never have a place
in our lives. I'm putting an end to this.
>> Sheila: To what? >> Steffy: You.
No more stopping by
my mom's office. No more secret meetings
with Thomas. You're done, Sheila.
I never wanna see your face... not ever again.

>> Brooke: Bridget, you didn't
have to call and check on me. I know it's late in New York.
>> Bridget: Actually, I just wanted to let you know
I'm back in L.A. I'm working out
of University Hospital for a while to help with
restructuring and shortages. >> Brooke: Oh, that's wonderful.
It'll be good to see you. >> Bridget: You too.
You hanging in there, Mom? >> Brooke: Yes.
Thank you, sweetheart. >> Woman: [speaking on P.A.]
>> Bridget: Sorry, Mom. They're paging me.
I'm gonna have to go. >> Brooke: Oh, okay. You go.
And just please stop by soon. >> Bridget: I will. I promise.
Love you, Mom. >> Brooke: I love you too,
sweetheart. Bye, Bridget.
[sighs] Well,
your sister's in town. >> Hope: [gasps] Yes!
That means I have backup now. Look, Mom,
what Thomas and Steffy do doesn't even matter.
The only thing that matters is Ridge's love for you.
>> Brooke: What if that's not enough?
>> Hope: It is. >> Brooke: Even if there's
an outside force working against us?
>> Liam: Outside force. What are you, uh--
What are you referring to? >> Brooke: [ sighs ]
I--I don't know. It's just this feeling
I'm getting, and I can't shake it.
I told Eric and Ridge about it too.
>> Hope: What, is it like a feeling like someone's
working against you? >> Brooke: [sighs]
I don't know. Something or someone.
Just...this feeling that I'm getting.
It's like Ridge and I are up against more than we realize.
>> Sheila: You don't know
what you're talking about. >> Steffy: Oh, I do.
And when my mother finds out what you've done,
she'll say the exact same thing. That kindness--
>> Sheila: No, you can't say anything to Taylor.
You can't tell anyone why Brooke drank.
>> Steffy: You think I don't wanna show everyone
what a lying, manipulative person you are?
>> Sheila: Just think of your mom.
She wants another chance with Ridge
after years of standing on the sidelines watching him
pursue a pathetic destiny with Brooke.
>> Steffy: Years you took away. You took her away.
And now you think you can spike a few drinks
and all is forgiven? You really are insane.
>> Sheila: You want to see them back together again,
and Thomas does too. >> Steffy: How long has he been
involved? >> Sheila: What?
>> Steffy: Thomas. Did he help you?
>> Sheila: No. No, he just found out
about it recently. And I told him the same thing
I'm telling you right now. Your family can be whole again.
>> Sheila: You just need to keep quiet.
So please, Steffy, think of your mother's
happiness and your father's too. Doesn't he deserve
to be free of Brooke? >> Steffy: He does,
but not like this-- not being manipulated into it.
>> Sheila: Does it
really matter? >> Steffy: If my parents
wanna be back together, it's because they wanna be
back together, not because you did something
wrong and sick. >> Sheila: I exposed Brooke,
that's all. >> Steffy: You exposed yourself
for the dangerous person that you are.
Everyone's gonna know the truth. >> Sheila: No.
>> Steffy: Any interest of Finn having a relationship with you,
that you could actually-- >> Sheila: Just stop, Steffy!
>> Steffy: You are never having a relationship with Finn.
Never. >> Sheila: That is not
your decision to make. >> Steffy: He is my husband.
>> Sheila: He is my son. And I'm warning you,
don't do anything to come between Finn and me.
Not a damn thing! Do you hear me?
You keep your mouth shut.

>> Taylor: What is it, Thomas? What's--What's wrong?
>> Ridge: Is there something you wanna tell us?
>> Thomas: Well, uh, that you--you still have
feelings for Mom, which I wasn't sure about,
but, obviously, you do, right? >> Ridge: Yeah. What--
Yeah, of course I do. >> Thomas: Yeah.
>> Ridge: What are you-- >> Thomas: And I know
that you're still married to Brooke.
But when I see you two together, I see amazing potential.
I see two people that could build an incredibly
wonderful life together, and it just seems meant to be.
>> Hope: Not sure I'm following.
Are you suggesting that Thomas and Steffy
are somehow manipulating all of this?
>> Brooke: It's just-- It's this overwhelming feeling
that I keep getting, that I'm--I'm missing something,
that there's a-- a bigger explanation
to all of this.
>> Steffy: You're warning me? Or do you mean threatening?
Because if that's how you speak to Finn's wife,
the mother of his child, how do you expect
to make inroads with him? >> Sheila: Oh, but that's
just it.
You tell me I can't-- I won't be a part of his life,
and yet it's like you're baiting me, trying to get me
to do things. >> Steffy: Show that you haven't
changed? Yeah, whatever works.
>> Sheila: Just have
a little understanding, please.
You've never given me a chance since I came back to town.
You won't even consider that I might have good intentions,
even though your mother was open to that possibility,
the one person, out of everyone, who had the right to doubt
that I'm reformed. >> Steffy: You're not reformed,
Sheila. You purposely got
an alcoholic to drink. >> Sheila: What would you
have done? Hmm?
Go ahead, Steffy. Why don't you tell me?
What would you have done... if you had Brooke in your face
telling you that she was never going to let you be a part
of your son's life?
I couldn't... let her get in the way,
and I won't let you either. >> Steffy: So this is a threat.
>> Sheila: I didn't want it to be this way.
But Finn's my only hope.
He's the one child that... I could have a future with,
a life with.
A life that I could have had with you too.
I really wanted that, Steffy.
An opportunity to love you.
>> Steffy: Who would ever want that from you?
Being loved by you is a curse-- a curse that Finn
will never have to know. I will make sure of it.
I will make him realize that you're still a criminal.
You're still as dangerous as ever.
You will never be part of our lives. Do you hear me?
>> Sheila: No! If one of us isn't meant
to be in Finn's life, it's gonna be you, Steffy.
You.
