[ dramatic music ] >> Steffy: No...
>> Taylor: What is it, sweetheart?
>> Steffy: Shei...
la...
>> Liam: Nobody's here.
Why is nobody here?
>> Hope: I'm sure they're all in with Steffy.
>> Liam: Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I just can't-- I can't even believe this is
happening, like the fact that Steffy's even laying
in a hospital bed right now, like why-- who would do this?
Who would do this to Steffy and Finn, of all people?
>> Hope: Oh, Bridget, is there any word on Steffy?
>> Bridget: You haven't heard yet? It's good news!
She regained consciousness!
>> Liam: Wha-- what? Really?
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
>> Hope: She's going to be okay!
>> Liam: Yes. Yes.
>> Thomas: You had us all scared, sis.
>> Taylor: Yeah. But we need you to come back to
the people that love you and need you.
>> Ridge: She was guided.
>> Taylor: What does that mean?
>> Ridge: Well, I had a word with the big man
and he answered.
It's a long story.
>> Steffy: What...
What happened?
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Liam: Oh, my God, this is amazing. I--
I can't believe it. So, so what, so what exactly--
What does this mean?
Is-- is Steffy out of danger now, or--
>> Bridget: No, no, no, she still has a fight ahead
of her, but regaining consciousness is a step
in the right direction for sure.
I am cautiously optimistic.
>> Hope: All right, well, we'll take it.
>> Liam: Yeah, totally.
Thank you for telling us.
Di-- I assume the team knows about Steffy's history with
opioids and all that-- Okay, all right. Thank you.
>> Bridget: Uh, I will keep you guys in the loop.
But I'm gonna check on her condition.
>> Liam: Yeah, no, no, yeah, go do your thing.
Do your thing. Oh, my God!
>> Zende: We came to check on Steffy.
>> Hope: Gosh!
>> Paris: Any updates?
>> Hope: Uh, you actually got here just in time.
>> Liam: Uh, so get this, Bridget just told us Steffy
regained consciousness.
>> Zende: Man, what a relief.
What's the prognosis?
>> Liam: Uh, it's just well, still some obstacles ahead,
but-- but it is a major improvement.
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Steffy: Hos... A hospital?
>> Ridge: That's right.
>> Taylor: Don't-- don't try to talk, sweetheart, please.
Save your strength, your body has been through
a tremendous shock.
>> Thomas: Uh, you don't remember why you're here, huh?
>> Ridge: You were shot.
>> Steffy: Shot?
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Zende: You can imagine how shocked we were when
we heard what happened.
>> Hope: Oh my gosh, no one told the office.
I feel so bad, I should have called. I'm sorry.
>> Paris: No, wait.
You're literally going through a tragedy.
>> Zende: It's a double tragedy. But what
the hell happened?
>> Paris: Yeah, is-- is Finn really dead?
>> Hope: It's horrible, and it hasn't really sunken
in yet because we've all been so focused on Steffy.
>> Paris: I was hoping that that was some kind of
mistake through word getting around. Like, yeah,
he's been shot, but he's still alive.
How can it be any other way?
>> Zende: Thank God we didn't lose both of them.
Steffy, she's gonna make it, right?
>> Hope: No, she has to.
>> Liam: I mean, it's Steffy, right? She's not about
to abandon her kids.
>> Hope: Poor Hayes has lost his father now.
>> Zende: Finn was a good man.
>> Paris: So... what are the circumstances?
>> Liam: I mean, they don't know exactly. They--
they think it's a robbery gone wrong.
>> Paris: What was taken?
>> Liam: Okay, so: Steffy's purse,
Finn's wallet and cell phone, and then, just,
just their rings.
>> Paris: Anyone else find it strange why Steffy
and Finn would even be there?
>> Zende: It's a long valet line, maybe? They could have
had dinner and parked out back.
>> Paris: I mean, I-- I suppose. I don't know,
maybe it was a wrong place, wrong time thing? Does--
does Steffy know that Finn is gone?
>> Liam: Yeah, see I-- See, that's a good question,
and we don't...
I don't know, I mean, I guess it would
just depend on like, the timing. Right?
'Cause if-- Oh, God, if, you know,
Finn was shot first...
>> Zende: Either way, this is awful. Steffy lost
a husband and-- and Hayes lost his father.
>> Paris: Who would do something like this?
Anyone who knew Steffy and Finn, how incredible
and extraordinary they were-- I mean, it had to be
a stranger.
>> Zende: I mean-- I don't know, if you're
trying to piece this together, they-- I mean,
clearly, they had dinner, right? And I guess maybe
they just-- they left the restaurant out of
the back for whatever reason and I suppose they just
walked into something they couldn't have anticipated.
>> Liam: I guess, I-- >> Paris: Oh how's--
how's Ridge?
>> Liam: Uh, you know, I mean he's--
he's hanging in there, he's-- It's Ridge,
he's trying to be strong for his family, but, uh,
it's-- it's tough.
>> Zende: I'm sure. Steffy, she's the light of
Uncle Ridge's life.
I don't even want to imagine what losing her
would do to him.
>> Liam: Well, unfortunately she's not-- You know,
we're not in the clear yet.
Bridget said there still might be complications.
>> Paris: But she did sound optimistic.
>> Liam: Cautiously, she said.
>> Hope: Yeah, but I mean, we can't count Steffy out.
She's a fighter.
>> Liam: Well, that much is true.
>> Hope: Yeah, I mean, she's made it this far.
I can only imagine that she'll-- she'll find her way back.
>> Paris: Yeah, I mean there's no way she's leaving
those kids.
Hayes and Kelly, they mean everything to her.
>> Zende: How you holding up, Liam? This whole thing
must be a nightmare for you.
>> Liam: Uh, thank you, thanks for asking. I, um--
Okay, I, it's just-- it's, it's Steffy, so that,
you know, there's a lot of history there.
We share a child together, we-- we went through
great pains to, you know, blend our families so that
we could co-parent Kelly.
The thought of her not being around to see Kelly grow up,
I-- I don't know, it's just, it's not-- It's not
something I was mentally prepared for facing.
>> Hope: Well, you don't have to, okay?
Steffy's not going anywhere.
>> Liam: Yeah.
>> Paris: No way, but it goes to show how you have
to cherish every moment.
It can be gone just like that.
>> Hope: Something we shouldn't take for granted.
>> Zende: Yeah, but I keep coming back to the same
place in my mind.
I mean, Steffy and Finn are good people. They don't make
them any better.
Who-- who would just shoot them and then just
disappear into the night?
>> Steffy: You shot your son.
We need to get help!
You're sick.
You're sick. You're going to prison for the rest
of your life!
>> Taylor: This is too much right now. You just woke up.
>> Sheila: Yeah, Taylor is right.
You wanna take things slowly.
You don't wanna jeopardize Steffy's recovery.
Her condition is still very fragile.
>> Ridge: Hey, Sheila.
Thank you. I think we got it.
>> Taylor: Okay. She's just trying to help.
>> Ridge: We don't need her help. If anyone knows
what to do for Steffy, it's us, the three of us.
Her family.
>> Sheila: I-- I wasn't trying to imply anything
other than that. It-- it's just... there's plenty
of time for-- for her remembering what
had to be an incredibly traumatic event.
>> Ridge: You know what.
That surprises me.
I thought you want to find the shooter.
Make sure they go to jail for what they did.
>> Steffy: Shot...
>> Taylor: Yes, baby, it was awful.
>> Steffy: Why?
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Hope: You hanging in there?
>> Liam: Yeah. I'm-- You know, I'm just beyond
grateful that Steffy's awake, but I guess
I'm still processing.
>> Hope: I know.
>> Paris: I just don't understand how this is real.
Finn is gone. Like, he'll never be able to teach
Hayes how to throw a football or save another
patient's life.
How can that be?
>> Zende: I can't imagine Steffy without him.
>> Liam: You know something?
I don't think I ever told Finn how much I appreciated
him just loving my child.
No questions asked.
>> Hope: Sweetie, I'm sure Finn knew how grateful
you were.
>> Liam: I don't know how to tell Kelly she's never
gonna see him again.
>> Hope: Well, when Steffy feels up to it,
we will find a way to tell her together as a family.
>> Paris: But for now, she's just gotta keep fighting.
>> Hope: And she will.
For the kids.
Especially Hayes, because he needs her more now
than ever.
[ Liam groaning ] >> Liam: It's just, I don't--
I don't understand how-- I mean, it's just the way
that we lost Finn.
It's like, it's so senseless, it's--
>> Paris: Over money or credit cards?
>> Liam: Yeah.
>> Paris: It's j-- That doesn't make sense,
and I know Steffy and Finn would have given whatever
the person wanted, so why shoot them?
>> Zende: We're trying to make sense out of
something that's totally random.
>> Paris: I just hope the police are close
to catching the person who did this.
>> Hope: Well, I mean maybe Steffy will be able to shed
some light on the situation now that she's awake.
>> Liam: With any luck.
Identify the son of a bitch who did it.
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 >> Sheila: Why? You mean,
why were you shot?
>> Ridge: It appears to have been a robbery.
>> Thomas: Yeah, Stef, um, whenever we find out
who did this to you-- >> Taylor: You know, I think
we should-- I think we should give her some--
some time here.
You know, she just-- she just woke up.
She's still very fragile.
>> Steffy: What happened?
>> Ridge: What happened, the police is trying to put
together now.
What do you think happened?
Do you remember anything?
Do you remember someone's face, maybe, or a car pulling
away, anything like that?
>> Steffy: I...
>> Taylor: Okay, okay, let's-- let's not push her.
Okay, she needs to rest.
The police are gonna be questioning her.
>> Ridge: I get it, I get all that.
There's a lunatic running around with a gun.
>> Taylor: I know.
>> Ridge: I don't want somebody else's kid
being shot.
>> Taylor: I know, but-- >> Sheila: You know, as--
as a trained nurse, though, it's my professional opinion
that you don't want to-- You don't want overstress
her. You don't want to cause anything that might
have her regress.
What's most important right now is-- is her
complete recovery.
>> Ridge: Steffy, try to remember. Restaurant.
The alley. Is there anything-- Who do you think put you here?
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Zende: How you doing over here?
>> Paris: Um, I'm just trying to imagine moving on
without Finn and I can't.
I can't quite get there.
>> Zende: Yeah, I, um, I know you guys were close.
>> Paris: I mean, he was so alive. So full of love
and laughter, and-- and goofiness.
Finn was so fun, and a great dad and
and amazing partner and husband to Steffy.
Kind and warm, a healer, and now he's just gone
because of some random robbery?
>> Zende: It's crazy.
>> Paris: I mean, I got to know him when I moved in
to Steffy's, and he's a wonderful guy.
And he didn't deserve this.
Being shot dead in an alley and just left there.
He didn't deserve this.
>> Hope: You know what really hurts?
This was the happiest I had ever seen Steffy in
all her life.
With her husband, and her family, and now
that's broken.
>> Liam: Yeah, she's...
She's gonna need all of us when she realizes.
>> Zende: And we'll be right there for her.
>> Paris: Yeah. Whatever she needs.
>> Liam: I guess I just hope that everything
that happened to her, you know, getting shot
and losing her husband...
She's such a-- Steffy's such a fearless
person, I just don't want it to change her, you know?
>> Paris: It won't.
>> Hope: She's got so many people who love and support
her, and we will all be there for her.
>> Liam: Yeah. And then there's Kelly.
>> Hope: I know.
We got Kelly too.
>> Liam: Put me in a room with the guy who did this,
I swear to God.
>> Paris: Seriously.
>> Hope: You know what, I think we should focus on
the positives.
Steffy has regained consciousness.
That's amazing.
And now we just need to concentrate on getting
her all the way back.
>> Paris: And for us to pick up the slack
in the meantime.
>> Zende: It's crazy that we even have to.
I mean, Steffy should be out there being the boss
lady everyone knows and loves. Who would want
to shut her down like this?
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 >> Ridge: Honey, I know it's
hard but you gotta try.
There's a lunatic out there with a gun. I don't want
anyone else getting hurt.
Why were you at Il Giardino's?
>> Steffy: I do not remember.
>> Ridge: Okay, you have to try to remember, please.
>> Sheila: Ridge, you know what, this really isn't--
>> Ridge: Sheila! This is between me and my daughter.
Please, be quiet.
>> Steffy: Uh...
>> Ridge: What?
Are you remembering something?
>> Steffy: Uh...
>> Thomas: Yeah, Stef.
Anything. You remember what they look like,
hair color...
>> Steffy: Her...
>> Ridge: Honey? Who did this to you?
>> Taylor: We're all here, baby.
>> Ridge: Say it one more time. Just try to say
it one more time.
[ Steffy mumbling and groaning ] Her...
>> Taylor: If you can tell us, please tell us.
We won't let anyone or anything ever hurt
you again.
