00:00What did I just overhear, Steffi?
00:08Even worse, what? What did I just see?
00:11Deacon touching you? The words that you are saying?
00:15Please do not tell me that you aren't getting involved with Deacon.
00:30Any woman would be lucky to have you.
00:35Even you.
00:37Even me.
00:40But you're married.
00:42And you're my therapist.
00:44So, good man.
00:51I think we're done.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:56A 40th century.
01:00Dad.
01:01Hello?
01:02What? What's up?
01:04Table 4 has asked you about that bottle of peanut grease.
01:06Oh, yeah. Here you go.
01:07This is Merlot.
01:10What's going on with you?
01:11Something on your mind or...
01:14Someone?
01:14Hey.
01:24Don't let me disturb you.
01:39I'm actually looking for Carter.
01:42I thought I heard that he was in here.
01:44He was, but he, um...
01:46Well, I need him to look over a few contracts.
01:49Do you know where he is?
01:50I don't know that looking over contracts is what Carter needs to do right now.
01:55I think he's with Daphne, trying to convince her not to leave for Paris.
01:59The timing is finally right for us, Daphne.
02:05We can finally see what we can be and what you want to go back to Paris.
02:08No.
02:10No.
02:11Don't walk away from us.
02:15Don't leave.
02:16Don't walk away from us.
02:46I knew Daphne wasn't a huge fan of L.A., but I thought she was starting to feel more at home here.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Is she really going back to Paris?
03:15Not if Carter has something to say about it.
03:18I appreciate you fighting for us like this, Carter.
03:21I do.
03:22And part of me will always wonder what could have been.
03:26Daphne, listen.
03:27I know this is a shock, and I'm sorry if I hurt you.
03:30Not my intention.
03:32If anything, I'm trying to prevent hurting you even more in the future.
03:36But this is what's best.
03:38I've enjoyed my time in L.A.
03:42I've enjoyed every moment with you.
03:44My home's in Paris.
03:49It's where I belong.
03:50You did.
03:52For a time.
03:54At home, it can expand, Daphne.
03:56It can evolve.
03:57It can include more places.
03:59And more people.
04:03Home can be in Los Angeles.
04:07With me.
04:07Dad, you want to talk about it?
04:16About what?
04:18Whoever's on your mind.
04:21Mostly you, actually.
04:22Me?
04:23Yeah.
04:24Yeah, I'm thinking about your future.
04:26About a potential opportunity with the Spencers.
04:28Bill told me that Katie started her own fashion house.
04:31That's what you were talking about, right?
04:33You know, we had a good talk, but, you know, we'll see where it goes, if anywhere.
04:38I got a good feeling about this.
04:40I just, I don't want to get my hopes up.
04:42Things don't always work out.
04:45Learned that the hard way at Forrester.
04:47Keep me in the loop.
04:48I want to celebrate with you when they make an official offer.
04:51Definitely.
04:54But you got to keep me in the loop, too.
04:56On whatever's got you so distracted earlier.
04:58I mean, I know it wasn't about me.
05:01All right, let me guess.
05:02It's, uh, it's about the woman in your life.
05:06Okay, here we go.
05:10What are you talking about?
05:11Deacon's a patient.
05:13Yeah, a patient any woman would be lucky to be with.
05:17Even you?
05:19I heard you say it.
05:22Look, Mom, I...
05:23I'm happy that you want to move on from Dad.
05:27And I know it's been extremely difficult for you.
05:30What, Deacon?
05:32Mom, he's married.
05:35Sheila's husband!
05:36As far as you know, Daphne hasn't made a firm decision about the move.
05:49If she has, Carter will do everything in his power to change her mind.
05:54It's been hard for him through the years.
05:57One failed relationship after another.
05:59I know, but this is different, yeah?
06:01You agree?
06:03Maybe it's not too late.
06:05I hope not.
06:07I hope he convinces Daphne to stay and give this relationship a chance.
06:10I won't lie.
06:14It's tempting to dream.
06:18The two of us.
06:21Doesn't have to be a dream.
06:23Oh, what if it is better if it is?
06:26A dream.
06:28A fantasy.
06:29And we can always look back and smile at what we were to each other.
06:37And there will never be disappointment and anger.
06:42I'm not like you, Carter.
06:45I don't need a relationship to fulfill me.
06:50I don't need one to fulfill me.
06:51I need you.
06:56I need all of you.
06:58All of your strength.
07:00Your independence.
07:01Your sexy sense of confidence.
07:05It's one of the many things that made me crazy about you.
07:10Many?
07:12It's too many to count.
07:16First time I saw you.
07:20First time you're sent.
07:21Enticed me.
07:26I couldn't get you out of my mind.
07:31I can't.
07:34Lose you.
07:36I won't.
07:47Dad.
07:48Come on.
07:48Speak freely.
07:49Sheila's restocking the supply closet, remember?
07:51I'm right, aren't I?
07:55This is about her.
07:58It's more about me.
08:00Okay.
08:01And someone else.
08:03Another woman?
08:04Look, you remember what you said about not getting ahead of yourself?
08:06I know how you feel about my wife, Deke.
08:09I love her.
08:10I do.
08:11I don't mean a vow to her, a commitment.
08:14I'm not going to break it.
08:15You don't intend to, but you're having second thoughts, aren't you?
08:20Someone else caught your eye?
08:23Maybe.
08:25Maybe.
08:25All right, yes.
08:28Okay, fine.
08:29Yes.
08:29All right.
08:30And she's, she's not just anyone.
08:32She's truly special.
08:33She's beautiful.
08:34She's intelligent.
08:36Do I know her?
08:36Who?
08:40Dad.
08:44Tamper.
08:45What?
08:48Dad.
08:51Nothing is happening between me and Deacon.
08:54I promise.
08:57It isn't what you're thinking.
08:59Not yet, maybe.
09:01But I know what I saw.
09:02I know what I heard.
09:05Mom, this isn't you.
09:07You're a professional.
09:10You can't fall for a patient that patient.
09:14It's complicated.
09:16It's complicated.
09:16Really?
09:18Do you remember that Sheila went after our family?
09:21Of course this is complicated.
09:24Gosh, you're going to give Sheila a reason to come after you, Mom.
09:27No, I know all the reasons why it shouldn't happen, and it won't.
09:30I can't even think about Deacon like that.
09:32But there is something about him, Steffi.
09:36He really is a remarkable man.
09:41A man that is married to Sheila.
09:52You aren't losing me, Carter.
09:54I'll always be a phone call away.
09:59And I'll still be working at Forrester anyway.
10:02I don't care about the business.
10:03I don't care.
10:04I want you.
10:04I meant what I said.
10:07I want all of you.
10:11Look, I know I hurt you when you confessed your feelings for me, and I stayed with Hope.
10:16What?
10:17Don't be ridiculous.
10:18Don't be ridiculous.
10:19You were right.
10:21You're right about everything.
10:22How that relationship would end, and you were right about how we can be so much more.
10:29I know you still care about me.
10:32I do.
10:34And that's all that matters.
10:36Don't leave before we can see how great we can be together.
10:39Don't leave.
10:39Don't leave.
11:06so is that the only gossip that stephy had that daphne's planning on moving i think so
11:14were you hoping for more well thought maybe there was some news about stephy's mother

11:55i had no idea you dad this is so great nothing has happened not true i mean maybe in terms of
12:02intimacy but i mean look at you taylor's definitely had a huge effect on you you know what's wrong with
12:10her i just it feels right you know i she's amazing you know she's been such a help to me
12:16she's always reinforcing how far i've come well because you have you haven't succeeded because
12:22of sheila but in spite of her you do realize most of the employees can't stand to be around her
12:28what and most of the customers too people will avoid your wife around here like the plague
12:34step elgerdino's success is because of you your food your ideas your business model

13:08from the man that he used to be
13:11okay gross he's worked hard to rebuild his life deacon is grounded and he's focused and
13:19and and he's funny and charming and oh my god listen to me
13:27oh my god you've actually fallen for him

13:34he's worked hard to become a better person i see that every time that we talk
13:40and that's the thing steffi

13:44he's more than just a patient he listens to me he appreciates my input
13:49he sees me
13:52stop it
13:55i know it's crazy but we we get each other
13:57mom stop it
13:58stop it right now
14:00i have to say something
14:12what
14:13i didn't think i could love you more
14:17continue to talk about taylor and wanting her to be happy
14:20amazes me
14:23well she'll find it
14:26i'm sure she will
14:28can you tone it down with the hallelujah stuff don't make me regret i told you
14:51sure sure i'm just i'm really stoked dad
14:54i don't know what for nothing's happened
14:56you've got my support if and when it does
14:58i mean taylor's so much better than sheila
15:02imagine coming home to someone like her every day
15:04you know someone so so warm so positive
15:07the opposite of who sheila is
15:10it can't be good for you
15:12surrounding yourself with all that negative energy
15:14be honest dad
15:17it's got to be moments where you're cautious and wary of sheila
15:20where you wonder what she still might be capable of
15:22when you think about what happened with luna
15:24the whole reason why you started seeing taylor in the first place
15:27sheila knew luna was alive but she never told you
15:31even though luna killed two of your friends right here in their restaurant
15:35i know that's over now it doesn't matter luna's gone
15:37thank god
15:38but sheila opened herself up to her
15:40she chose luna over you
15:42lied to your face
15:44makes me wonder
15:46she actually reformed
15:48that do you seriously want to be around the next time she goes off the rails
15:54because
15:54i don't want that for you
15:56i'm guessing taylor doesn't either
15:58i mean
16:00she could be the one
16:01the one to help you get out of this disaster of a marriage
16:04i mean this is perfect
16:06actually i mean
16:07you spending time with her getting to know her better
16:10as her patient
16:12exactly
16:13i mean taylor's a well-respected psychiatrist
16:16she's known for her good deeds
16:19her contributions to society
16:20not her
16:21her crimes
16:22she's an extraordinary woman dad
16:26she's my therapist
16:28that's it
16:30for now
16:33you're overreacting
16:41stephi
16:42nothing has happened
16:43between deacon and me
16:44but part of you would like it to
16:47hmm
16:48mom this is wrong on so many levels
16:53and not just because you're his doctor
16:55not just because he is married
16:57that is still terrible
16:58but he is married
17:00to a lunatic
17:01have you not thought about this
17:04of course
17:05think of all the terrible things
17:07sheila has done to us
17:09all the crimes that she's committed
17:10here in los angeles
17:12in genoa city
17:13i mean
17:14it takes one thing to trigger her
17:16and she's going to snap
17:17now you can pretend that she's this like
17:20peaceful waitress
17:21but she can be extremely dangerous
17:24in an instant
17:25unless
17:27she really has changed
17:29she risked her life to save you
17:33just because she saved me mom
17:37it doesn't erase her sins
17:40i'm really worried about you mom
17:44i am
17:46this isn't you
17:48going after a married man
17:52sheila's husband

17:58i know you're right
18:02and i swear to you deacon and i haven't crossed the line
18:06maybe not physically
18:08but what about emotionally
18:11mom look at me
18:16if sheila knew
18:19what you two were up to
18:20what do you think she would do
18:23we both know the answer to that
18:27she would come after you
18:30you would be a target
18:32you would be her next victim
18:34mom i know this has been really difficult for you
18:40i know ever since dad went back to brooke
18:44it's been extremely hard for you
18:46and i'm i'm happy that you are moving on
18:49but you deserve someone
18:52who loves you
18:54and only you
18:55is committed to you
