00:30It's not that I don't like these. I do. It's just nothing is grabbing you.
00:44I see, look. These are good. They're all really good. But you don't want good. You want great. It's a relaunch. You need something fresh.
00:50Well, that's why Hope's looking at portfolios of possible new designers.
00:56I actually selected a few for you to look at in our meeting later.
01:00You sound super excited about that.
01:02I was just really hoping that one might really stand out, be exceptional, make my decision a little easier. But there is potential. So I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions.
01:14Okay. All right. That's it. Thank you so much for coming in. We'll see you in a bit.
01:19You know what you need? Get an intern to put together a database with all the submissions.
01:24That's actually a brilliant idea. Also, speaking of interns, I'm sorry. I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around this news about Luna.
01:35Yeah. She's alive. Alive and pregnant with Will's baby.
01:41And back in prison where she belongs. Yes. Especially after everything she did. Shooting Liam. Shooting her grandmother. Threatening Steffi. How many times I'm killing my dad's two best friends. I really do worry that he might never be the same.
01:59Hey, Taylor. Thanks for taking my call.
02:02My apologies. I hated cutting your appointment short the other day.
02:06No, no worries. It sounded like that patient of yours really needed some help. Had something going on.
02:12Yeah, she's really had a rough time of it lately. But I was able to calm her down, help her to feel a bit more grounded.
02:19That's good. I'm kind of hoping you can do the same for me.
02:23Yeah, let's keep talking.
02:25I mean, if you're willing to listen, you know, about my problems with my wife and all of her... antics.
02:30Well, I had a last minute cancellation this morning if you're able to come by now.
02:34Um, yeah. Yeah, that would be great. I'll be right over.
02:39Hey. We really need to be able to talk. I just, I want you to know how much I miss you. I really miss us.
03:00I bet your dad's relieved, just like the rest of us, that Luna is back in prison.
03:13Where is she going to spend the rest of her days?
03:17Hey, hey, Dee.
03:21Was that you?
03:23Oh my gosh, get in here. Hi.
03:26Hey, you.
03:27It's good to see you. Oh my gosh.
03:30How upset you were back in town.
03:32Wow.
03:33So happy you're here. Good to see you.
03:35Nice to see you too.
03:37Rich, it's been a while.
03:40What brings you to L.A.?
03:42Family, mostly.
03:43Oh, good. Find me some help.
03:45Help?
03:46Babysitting your dad.
03:48I know that you, you feel a bit disillusioned by what I did.
03:57I knew that she was alive. All right?
04:01That same psychopath who killed my friend, our friends.
04:06And you said nothing. You kept it a secret. Hell, you helped her.
04:09She's my granddaughter, Dee.
04:10I'm your husband.
04:12Doesn't that mean anything to you?
04:14I was going to tell you, but I just, I didn't.
04:17You knew it was wrong.
04:19You did something horrifying, something shameful.
04:23You don't even know how to start processing the hurt that you've caused.
04:28This complete betrayal.
04:30I'm going to, I'm going to earn your trust back again.
04:33I will. Luna is, is not going to be a problem.
04:38Come on, you must have heard. She's in police custody.
04:42I'm never going to keep my granddaughter a secret from you ever again, Deacon.
04:49I, I can't help her now.
04:52Not even if I wanted to.
04:54She's going to be in prison for a long, long time,
04:56and I'm going to have to learn how to accept that.
04:59And with your help, I, I know that I can.
05:04Please, can we just get by this?
05:07I, I need my husband.
05:14This is crazy that we're not working through this together.
05:20Just come home.
05:22Deacon, I, I need you.
05:27Would you please just, just come home.
05:33Forgiveness is, is going to take time and I realize that, but I'm willing to put in the work to make that happen, to, to make that happen for you.
05:50What if I'm not willing to, though?
05:54What if I'm just tired of all this insanity?
05:58Sheila, even if I could forgive you for keeping it a secret about Luna being alive,
06:03how am I ever going to forget the fact that you wanted to let that monster, that monster that did all these horrible things run free?
06:12I, I gotta figure things out. I gotta, I gotta figure out where I go from here.
06:18No, no, where, where we go.
06:23And wherever that is, we go together as a couple, as husband and wife.
06:29Cause we, we're better together and we always will be.
06:33I'm not trying to give up. I'm not. I just, I don't know what to believe.
06:44I've been seeing somebody. I, I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life.
06:50No, our. Life, ours.
06:54What, what do you mean you're, you're, you're speaking to someone? I, like professionally?
07:00Yes. And as a matter of fact, I have an appointment and I gotta go right now.
07:04Well, who are you seeing?
07:07I, I just, I just wanna know that you're not seeing some quack that's gonna be bad advice.
07:11No, no. She's a good listener.
07:13She?
07:15I've been seeing Taylor.
07:18Oh.
07:21Well, that's, she's one of the best.
07:25This, this is a good thing.
07:27I, I, I think that Taylor can really help. I mean, she can, she can help you deal with, with your issues.
07:36And she can bring it back to me.
07:40Back where you belong.
07:57I think it's pretty cool, Rich, that you reinstated Hope's line.
08:08And you know, I'm not just saying that as her brother, but as a recent design school graduate too, definitely the right call.
08:13Well, it remains to be seen, but you are helping me feel optimistic about it, so thank you.
08:19And you two should be optimistic about your father as well.
08:24I know he's having a difficult time right now with Sheila, but if you're there and you're supporting him, he will get through this.
08:30And I'm sure he's happy to have little Dee back.
08:34Dee, sorry.
08:36No, really, I just still picked you as the little boy that you were.
08:39Yeah, I just, I don't know, I think I came back to L.A. at the right time, just considering our guys going through a lot right now.
08:45Well, I hope whatever he's going through is going to help make the right decision, get rid of Sheila once and for all.
08:50Sounds like you had a very healthy response and you were able to set some boundaries.
09:00Uh, my next patient just arrived, so we're going to have to continue this conversation at your next appointment.
09:07Okay, bye-bye.
09:09Deacon, I'm so happy you could make it.
09:12Thanks for fitting me in.
09:13Of course.
09:14Let me see, can I get you anything? Something to drink? Water?
09:17Um, no, no thanks. I think I'm good.
09:20Please.
09:22Actually, probably not entirely true because I'm about as far from good as it gets.
09:27Taylor, I need you to help me figure out what I'm doing.
09:32I mean, have I just been naive this whole time, you know, thinking that Sheila's the one for me?
09:37Thinking that she's changed?
09:40I gotta figure out what I'm doing with my future.
09:43And I have to figure out if Sheila's going to be a part of it.
09:50What's that smile about?
09:51Oh, I was just thinking about what Deke said. How he appreciates you bringing back hope for the future.
10:10I appreciate it too. Do you know how enormously grateful I am?
10:18Enormously?
10:19Enormously.
10:21That's a decision for the business. And I hope it'll turn out to be the right one.
10:25I think it will be. I think it will be. I'm not sure you did that because it was the right decision for the business or you did it for me.
10:33Happy wife, happy life.
10:34And you certainly haven't let me down in that department.
10:41I am so happy. Just so excited to be married to you again.
10:48Yeah.
11:00I just wonder...
11:02Wonder what?
11:04How Taylor's doing.
11:09I am incredibly excited for this opportunity. I'm looking forward to it.
11:14Yeah, we've gotten a lot of... a lot of portfolios, yes.
11:23Oh, absolutely.
11:25Oh, I look forward to your submission.
11:27It was great talking to you and you will be hearing from me.
11:30Right.
11:32Sorry, I hope that didn't take too long.
11:35No problem? Did that call stress you out or something?
11:38No. Why?
11:39It just seemed kind of troubled.
11:42No, I was just thinking about the Luna situation, all of that going on in the background.
11:49Just how Sheila kept it to herself for weeks and didn't even say a word to Dad.
11:54Nothing. Kept it completely secret.
11:56Wonder who's had it with her.
11:58I mean, I don't like rooting for that, for them breaking up.
12:01I was trying to be accepting that she was the one for him.
12:07But, but she's terrible, right? Like, like genuine homicidal maniac?
12:12That's the woman Dad chooses? Like, he can't do better?
12:15Oh no, he can. I mean, pretty much any woman would be a better option than Sheila.
12:20I'll do my best to help you, Deacon.
12:24But before we go on, I just want to confirm, are you sure you wouldn't prefer speaking to someone who's a bit more removed from the situation?
12:33I could recommend a colleague who isn't so closely tied.
12:37No, I like that you're closely tied. Look, you, you know Sheila, you know the whole backstory, you know?
12:42I don't have to explain about the toes and the bees and that crazy sugar. It's just coming out of my mouth. This sounds insane.
12:50Besides, Taylor, I know you're going to give it to me straight.
12:53I'd like to think of it more as you giving it to me straight, so I can help guide you to the answers you're looking for.
13:00My relationship with Sheila is complicated. In order for me to help you, I want to know what I don't know about her.
13:08I want to see what you see. I want to understand the love that you have for her.
13:12That's what makes this so damn hard. I do love her, but I don't know if I can trust her. And if I've lost that, what do I do? I mean, do I leave her?
13:26What do you think? Do I end my marriage with Sheila?
13:42Not gonna lie, when I heard Dad married Sheila?
13:47Oh, Deke, you have no idea. I basically had to give Dad an ultimatum. It was her or me. And he just, he really does deserve better.
13:59Maybe he still will, if he really does walk away from her.
14:04And while it's none of our business, maybe he should. Start a nice life with a nice lady, without so much baggage.
14:13Like a good, solid woman to build a future with?
14:16Exactly. With all ten of her toes.
14:19Right?
14:22Wondering about Taylor, why? Are you worried about her?
14:24Yeah, I'm worried about her. I just feel like we've battled for a lifetime. Back and forth, and all the frustration.
14:33I know you two have a bond. You have children together. You have grandchildren. Of course I want her to be happy. And you and I, getting married, that shut the door in any future she could have had with you.
14:45I just hope she knows that she has possibilities. Maybe a new man in her life.
14:56What do I think? I think it has to be your decision. A decision I'll help you get to, for sure. But you shouldn't stay or leave because of what other people say.
15:08That decision has to come from within. From all the soul searching that you're working on.
15:13Been doing a hell of a lot of that, you know, ever since I moved out. Soul searching. Questioning.
15:20Questioning?
15:21Questioning everything. Like, can Sheila actually change? You know, or is she just gonna backslide and eventually revert to her old unpredictable and dangerous ways?
15:33This latest stunt with Luna has made you lose some faith in her.
15:36Yeah, it's more than that. I mean, this scares the hell out of me. What if this is just a preview of things to come? You know, her going back to the dark side and then one day, one day she just snaps.
15:48Something you need to consider.
15:50Something you need to consider.
15:51This is my wife we're talking about here. This is the woman that I've committed my life to.
15:55I feel for you, Deacon. It's a hard position that you're in.
16:01What would you do?
16:02What would you do?
16:03I'm just here to listen. I'm just to help you.
16:06Please, Taylor, please. Tell me what you would do.
16:10You're the expert. I trust you.
16:14I mean, do you think people can actually change or am I just, am I just kidding myself thinking that I was able to reform Sheila?
16:22Change is possible.
16:26Possible. But with someone like Sheila. Not likely.
16:33I'm flattered you trust me. But this is the end of your marriage you're talking about. Ultimately, that decision needs to come from you.
16:41Thank you. I really appreciate this. Just being able to talk this over with somebody who's intelligent, intuitive, beautiful.
16:52Not a requirement for a successful therapy session.
16:56Doesn't hurt.
16:58You know, there are a lot of reasons why I think Ridge is an idiot, but kicking you to the curb.
17:04Well, now that's gotta be one of the biggest ones because I think any man would be lucky to have you in his life.
17:10Thank you. And any woman would be lucky to have you in hers.
17:15Remember that as you contemplate how to move forward.
17:18You're a loving, devoted father and grandfather. You're running a successful business. You should be proud, Deacon. You've overcome a lot.
17:28Thank you for noticing.
17:30Of course I've noticed. It's admirable what you've done.
17:33Despite who my wife is.
17:35I didn't say that.
17:37You didn't have to. I don't know. I think I've been caught up in Sheila's craziness for so long that, uh, I forgot what it's like to look into a woman's eyes who's honest and pure, with good intentions.
17:52Oh. As much as I appreciate the compliments, I think it's time to wrap up our session. Okay?
18:02And you are going to get through this next chapter. Get to the other side better than ever.
18:09Yeah.
