00:00Okay, Hope. I'll talk to you later.
00:09Me too.
00:15I love that.
00:17What?
00:18That beautiful smile.
00:21Well, there's a lot to smile about.
00:24You and I are married again.
00:27Hope and Liam are back together, and I couldn't be more thrilled for them.
00:35That is a reason to smile, for sure.
00:38Everything's working out for the people that I love.
00:41Yeah, it's true. We are blessed.
00:44Yes. Something I would never take advantage of.
00:49Same.
00:53But there is somebody that I'm still concerned about.
00:58Taylor.
01:09Deacon.
01:10I didn't mean to startle you.
01:12I know we're a appointment that's not for another ten minutes.
01:14Another ten minutes, right?
01:15But the sooner we get started.
01:17Get ready.
01:18Now that you're back with Sheila.
01:23Enjoy yourselves.
01:24All good here?
01:28Let me know if you need anything else.
01:34Looks like things are going well.
01:36Steffi.
01:38Hi.
01:38Well, I'd heard that you were back in town.
01:44Welcome back.
01:45I mean, how are things going, okay?
01:48After what Luna tried to do to me?
01:52Or Liam?
01:53Or you?
01:57Look, I'll never understand how or why you kept the secret about Luna from everyone.
02:01There we go.
02:01There we go.
02:01There we go.
02:01There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:02There we go.
02:03There we go.
02:03There we go.
02:03There we go.
02:04There we go.
02:04There we go.
02:04There we go.
02:05There we go.
02:05There we go.
02:05There we go.
02:06There we go.
02:06There we go.
02:06There we go.
02:07There we go.
02:07There we go.
02:08There we go.
02:08There we go.
02:09There we go.
02:09There we go.
02:10There we go.
02:10There we go.
02:11There we go.
02:11There we go.
02:12There we go.
02:12There we go.
02:13There we go.
02:14There we go.
02:14There we go.
02:31I'm sure you can imagine my shock when Finn told me.
02:53I thought I'd never have to hear Luna's name again.
02:57Yeah, well, a lot of people felt the same.
02:59Well, we thought she was dead, Sheila.
03:02And she almost was.
03:04But Lee pulled off another miraculous, life-saving event.
03:08I mean, she brought our granddaughter back to life.
03:12Something you kept from all of us.
03:15Until you got caught.
03:18I understand that you're upset.
03:21It was a nightmare, Sheila.
03:24I thought we'd never be confronted with that kind of evil ever again.
03:27And you won't be.
03:30Because Luna is in prison, so you can just go on living your life.
03:34Just like you.
03:36Apparently, without any repercussions.
03:42No, actually, I almost lost my marriage to Deacon over all of this.
03:49Meaning, what, you kept the truth from him?
03:52You deceived him like you did all of us?
03:56I betrayed him terribly.
03:58And he moved out.
04:01But he's back now.
04:02And he's giving our marriage and me a second chance, Steffi.
04:06And I...
04:07I could not be more thankful.
04:10I do realize we've discussed this before.
04:19Taylor is the mother of your children.
04:22And you may not be married to her, but of course, you're going to be concerned about her.
04:28Are you okay with that?
04:29Yes, I am.
04:31Why wouldn't I be?
04:32You should be concerned.
04:34But Taylor's a strong woman.
04:36And she knows that clinging to what might have been wouldn't move her forward in life.
04:43And of course, she wouldn't want that.
04:46So, I wonder where her future might take her.
04:50I should say, I already know how Sheila feels about your commitment to your marriage.
04:59She came to see me in person to thank me.
05:02I'm aware.
05:04She told you?
05:05Well, she thinks she owes you everything.
05:07I mean, she can't thank you enough.
05:09But in reality, I'm the one who can't thank you enough.
05:12Taylor, you've been like a lifeline to me.
05:15One that I don't want to lose.
05:20What did you just say?
05:30Oh, what?
05:32About Taylor saving my marriage?
05:34How is that possible, given the way she feels about you?
05:37Okay, you think your mother hates me?
05:39For everything you've done to her and my family over the years?
05:42Yes.
05:42Okay, that's fair.
05:45I was sick back then.
05:46I was very disturbed.
05:48And I'm not that person anymore, Deacon.
05:50He has opened my heart.
05:52He has helped change me.
05:54He has helped me become who I am today.
05:58But Sheila didn't last.
06:00He walked out on you.
06:02He moved out.
06:03He did.
06:05But he decided to seek therapy.
06:08And your mother agreed to see him.
06:09Are you serious?
06:16My mother agreed to see Deacon.
06:19I am.
06:19Your mom helped Deacon work through his issues with betrayal.
06:25And they were all very valid because I did betray him.
06:29Yes, for keeping the secret about Luna from him.
06:31Yeah, but for whatever reasons I had, it was still a betrayal.
06:38Okay, so my mom.
06:41She, yeah.
06:42Your mom literally brought my marriage back from the brink.
06:46As only Dr. Taylor Hayes can.
06:51And she became a sounding board for Deacon and so much more.
06:58Taylor saved my marriage to my husband.
07:02And I will forever be in her debt.
07:12Taylor's a very accomplished woman.
07:14And her career is very important to her.
07:17Right, but I don't want her work to be her life.
07:21Do you know what I mean?
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:22Yeah.
07:22She has a world-renowned psychiatrist, but she's also a devoted mother and grandmother.
07:28And she just loves her family.
07:31She spends a lot of time with them.
07:32She would do anything for them.
07:34I know that.
07:35It's true.
07:35But I'm looking at things, what I've done now.
07:38Look, I understand that you don't want her to neglect her own happiness.
07:44Right.
07:44I get that.
07:45Because that's who she is.
07:47She's always been that person.
07:48She puts other people's happiness before her own.
07:51And she's selfless like that.
07:54Yeah.
07:55And you and I, we are blessed.
07:58And I would like it if everybody could have this kind of happiness.
08:03Even Taylor.
08:05And who knows?
08:08Maybe she's on her way.
08:11On her way to what?
08:13No relationship?
08:16No man?
08:18You want to be my patient.
08:21Permanently.
08:22Well, the fact of the matter is, I've got a lot of demons inside.
08:26And I need to exercise them.
08:28And, you know, that's not going to happen overnight, right?
08:30No joke.
08:31About the demons?
08:32Yes.
08:33I don't have them, literally, but...
08:35Good to know.
08:37You know, I mean, I've reunited with Sheila.
08:41But I still feel like I want to see you as your patient.
08:46You've made a lot of progress, Deacon.
08:51I've made a lot of progress in my marriage.
08:55I want to become the man that I know I can become.
08:59And in order to do that, I've got to grow.
09:02And I think you can help me with that.
09:03And there is one more other important thing.
09:08What's that?
09:10I believe I can help you, too.
09:12Take these down to shipping, by the way.
09:21Good morning, Mrs. Forrest.
09:23It's a better city.
09:24It's different.
09:25We just have some nice memories.
09:26Absolutely, we will.
09:30Okay.
09:31Ciao, Giovanni.
09:33I will.
09:34Yes.
09:35Okay.
09:35Ciao.
09:36That man can talk.
09:38Giovanni says hello, and he says,
09:40the next time we're in Rome,
09:42he wants to take you out for a special dinner.
09:45And I have to pay.
09:46Oh.
09:47Well, that would be lovely.
09:50I just don't know when we're going to get out of here
09:53and head over to Rome anytime soon.
09:55That's what I told him.
09:55So, it's the price of success, right?
09:57Yeah.
09:58I guess it goes with the territory.
10:00You and I have to guide Forrester forward.
10:03The same way you want to guide Taylor forward.
10:06Come on, that's not...
10:07No, I'm not jealous or insecure or anything like that.
10:11In fact, I admire you.
10:15I do.
10:16For caring so much about Taylor.
10:18And so do I.
10:21Even though you broke Mom's heart again
10:23by calling off your engagement
10:24and marrying someone else.
10:27Oh, I'm sorry.
10:29I promised myself I wasn't going to say anything,
10:32but here we are, so...
10:33It's okay?
10:34No, it's not okay.
10:38But hey, it's your life.
10:40It's your situation.
10:42Obviously, I want you and Mom back together,
10:43but it didn't happen.
10:46Look, I know you're always going to care about Mom, so...
10:47Yeah, that's what we were just talking about.
10:51Just wondering what she's doing.
10:53Yeah, I'm sure she's super busy.
10:55Oh, she's so busy.
10:57Yeah, always.
10:59Spending a lot of time with the grandkids, I'm sure.
11:01Oh, yeah.
11:02They're the light of her life,
11:04and she's the light of theirs.
11:06That's good.
11:07I'm happy for Kelly and Hayes.
11:09And Taylor.
11:13Steffi, I mean it.
11:15I do care about your mom.
11:19Look, there's meaning.
11:20I do, too.
11:22I know Brooke cares about Mom,
11:24and I know you care about her, too,
11:25but there's no point staying in the past.
11:27Not that she would stay in the past.
11:30No.
11:31No, Mom is, uh...
11:32She's really...
11:33Really busy.
11:34She's focused on the future.
11:35I've got a lot of things to do.
11:36Yeah, I mean, but you spend time with her.
11:39What is, uh...
11:40What is she up to?
11:45You can help me.
11:48Absolutely.
11:49Hmm.
11:51Yeah.
11:52Um, I can see the beautiful doctor is a little skeptical.
11:55Well, it's not that, exactly.
11:58No, I...
11:58Listen, I get it.
11:59I mean, you have a good reason to,
12:01because I don't have all those fancy letters
12:03after my last name like you do.
12:04But, uh, there is something I do have.
12:08I'm almost afraid to ask.
12:12Instincts.
12:13I've got the ability to
12:15see what somebody's been through.
12:19Understand it.
12:20To see what you've been through.
12:23You know all about that.
12:25All the gory details.
12:27I don't know about all of them,
12:29but, uh, I think I'm pretty familiar
12:30with how Ridge has jerked you around over the years.
12:33What that must have done to you.
12:36And Brooke's contribution.
12:39That's an interesting way of putting it.
12:41But it is spot on.
12:43I mean, you know,
12:45Brooke has been a major part
12:46of the heartache that you've had over the years.
12:49She kept coming for Ridge
12:51even when she knew that he was committed to you.
12:54Look, I'm not trying to bash Brooke.
12:56I mean, we share a kid together.
12:57But I can see things
13:00from your perspective.
13:02Well, because you've had
13:03first-hand experience.
13:05Although,
13:06in a slightly different way.
13:08Right.
13:10Because you are...
13:10You and I are
13:11Ridge and Brooke's roadkill.
13:14That is the technical term.
13:17Look, I just want you to know
13:19that I'm here for you.
13:20The way you've been here for me.
13:25Deacon, it means a lot
13:26that you care so much.
13:27How could I not?
13:28After everything you've done for me?
13:30I mean, you helped me get my head on straight.
13:33Maybe I could do the same for you.
13:36Help me get my head on straight?
13:38Yeah.
13:38No, I mean...
13:39You know what I mean.
13:42I do.
13:43And I appreciate your concern,
13:45but it's really not necessary.
13:47I have my family.
13:49I love my work,
13:51helping my patients.
13:52You're an incredible woman.
13:54And you're also
13:55the best shrink in the biz.
13:58But I want to know
14:00if you're truly,
14:01really happy, Taylor.
14:14You want my take
14:15on mom's life these days?
14:17I...
14:17I don't want to overstep.
14:19This is between you and your mom.
14:21No, I know you're concerned about mom.
14:25I know it's genuine.
14:30She's fine.
14:32But first, I want to say something
14:34about what I came home to,
14:36your instant marriage to Brooke.
14:41You made promises to mom
14:42and you broke them again
14:43because of
14:46what happened in Italy.
14:50Brooke almost drowning.
14:52You almost lost your Logan.
14:57That's when things changed.
15:00Do I like it?
15:02No, I don't.
15:03I don't like that mom
15:04has been pushed aside again.
15:05but I understand
15:12what drew you back to Brooke.
15:17And mom understands it too.
15:18And I understand why she would
15:21have resentment towards me again.
15:22No, she doesn't.
15:23She doesn't.
15:25She's done wallowing.
15:27She's gonna bounce back
15:28like she always does.
15:30So you're saying...
15:31I'm saying that you don't have
15:32to worry about her.
15:35Mom's changed.
15:37It's like something new
15:38and exciting is driving her.
15:42Another man, perhaps?
15:43You'd like that, wouldn't you, Brooke?
15:45Well, certainly.
15:47Nobody wants to be alone.
15:49Mom's not gonna be alone.
15:51I told her she's gonna find someone.
15:53Someone who truly loves
15:54and appreciates her.
15:56And is always gonna want her
15:57to be happy.
15:58Are you, Taylor?
16:02Are you truly happy?
16:05Because nobody deserves it
16:07more than you.
16:08I mean, all the lives you've impacted,
16:09the people that you've helped,
16:11you really are a saint.
16:15So I've been told in the past,
16:17but not in a flattering way.
16:19Look, we've really gotten
16:21off track here.
16:22This is supposed to be about you.
16:25You're the patient.
16:26I'm the doctor.
16:27Remember?
16:28I think helping you
16:30is gonna help me.
16:31Ah, Deacon.
16:31Okay, look, I get it.
16:32I get it, all right?
16:33You know, you...
16:35You've got everything
16:36under control, right?
16:37You know, the fact that you
16:38and Ridge were engaged,
16:40that he was gonna
16:41finally commit to you
16:43again,
16:44and then he just blew you off
16:46for Brooke.
16:47Again.
16:47You've got that all
16:48handled, right?
16:49You've dealt with all of that
16:51and you're good now.
16:53Or at least that's what
16:54you tell yourself.
16:54But I have to wonder,
16:57have you ever truly
16:58acknowledged to yourself
17:01how destructive and abusive
17:02this whole back and forth thing
17:04that you and Ridge have had
17:05for years
17:06has been to you?
17:08I mean, the toll
17:08that it's taken.
17:10I mean,
17:11Taylor,
17:12you had broken hearts
17:13in your own,
17:13for God's sake.
17:14Yeah, and Ridge is the one
17:15that helped me heal
17:16from that.
17:16Because he's the one
17:17who was largely
17:18responsible for it.
17:20Listen,
17:21here's the thing.
17:22I'm not trying
17:23to upset you
17:24and I'm not trying
17:25to bash Ridge.
17:26I get that the two of you
17:28have a very special bond
17:29because you have kids.
17:31Okay?
17:32But that's why
17:33you keep trying
17:34to make it work
17:35with the father
17:36of your children
17:36and that's admirable.
17:38But here's the thing.
17:41Steffi and Thomas,
17:42they're adults.
17:43They don't need
17:43their mom and dad
17:44back together again.
17:45What they need
17:46is their amazing mother
17:48to feel fulfilled.
17:50And that's something
17:51that is not going to happen
17:52with Ridge
17:53because it's never
17:53happened with them.
17:55At least not
17:55to the extent
17:56that you deserve it.
17:59Look,
18:00you know
18:01what I'm saying
18:02is right.
18:03Deep down,
18:04you know everything
18:04I'm saying is true.
18:06And as much
18:07as you have sacrificed
18:08and tried to make
18:09this relationship work,
18:11Ridge isn't the guy
18:12for you.
18:14So if there's even
18:15a tiny part of you
18:16that's sticking around
18:17hoping that Ridge
18:18and Brooke's marriage
18:19is going to implode
18:20so that you can...
18:20Of course not that.
18:21Didn't cross my mind.
18:23Good,
18:23because enough's enough.
18:25You know,
18:25you shouldn't put
18:26your happiness,
18:27your life on hold
18:28for one second more.
18:30Ridge isn't the past.
18:31Put him there.
18:32Firmly,
18:33completely,
18:34once and for all.
18:35And realize
18:38what I do.
18:40There is no one,
18:41and I mean
18:41no one,
18:43that deserves
18:44to be appreciated,
18:46admired,
18:48respected,
18:48and loved
18:51as much as you do.
18:53Now,
19:06houra business,
19:07houra business,
19:09houra business,
19:10houra business.
