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 before we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can see how great we can
11:09Steffi had? That Daphne's planning on moving? I think so. Were you hoping for more? Well,
11:17thought maybe there was some news about Steffi's mother. I mean, I occasionally think about Taylor.
11:26You do? You do. I want her to find happiness. With another man? Yeah. I mean, so what do you
11:35think? Did Steffi say that? Is there possibly another man in Taylor's life? A new man?
11:45Let's just stay between us. Of course. I mean, don't tell anyone. I promised that. I don't say
11:50the thing. I mean, I knew you were seeing Taylor for help and talking through your feelings with
11:55Sheila, but I had no idea you... Dad, this is so great. Nothing has happened. Not true. I mean,
12:01maybe in terms of intimacy, but... I mean, look at you. Taylor's definitely had a huge effect on you.
12:09You know what's wrong with her? I just... It feels right, you know? I... She's amazing. You know,
12:15she's been such a help to me. She's always reinforcing how far I've come. Well, because you
12:20have. You haven't succeeded because of Sheila, but in spite of her. You do realize most of the
12:26employees can't stand to be around her. What? And most of the customers, too. People avoid your wife
12:32around here like the plague. Steph, Eldredino's success is because of you. Your food, your ideas,
12:42your business model. And now you're telling me you're connecting with another woman?
12:46Shh. Another woman who's more worthy of your attention? I mean, hallelujah.
12:53Deacon. Sorry, no, no. Sorry. I just decided.
12:57So you're admitting, huh? You have feelings for Deacon. I'm not admitting any such thing.
13:06But he has shown tremendous growth from the man that he used to be. Okay. Gross.
13:12He's worked hard to rebuild his life. Deacon is grounded, and he's focused, and...
13:20And what? And he's funny, and charming, and... Oh, my God. Listen to me.
13:27Oh, my God. You've actually fallen for him. No, it's not like that. It's just... I admire him.
13:35He's worked hard to become a better person. I see that every time that we talk.
13:40And that's the thing, Steffi. We talk. He's more than just a patient. He listens to me.
13:47He appreciates my input. He sees me.
13:54Stop it. I know. It's crazy, but we get each other.
13:57Mom, stop it. Stop it right now.
14:00I have to say something.
14:13What?
14:15I didn't think I could love you more.
14:18Continue to talk about Taylor and wanting her to be happy.
14:22It amazes me.
14:23Well, she'll find it. I'm sure she will.
14:28Can you tone it down with the Hallelujah stuff? Don't make me regret it, told you.
14:51Sure, sure. I'm just... I'm really stoked, Dad.
14:54I don't know what for. Nothing's happened.
14:57You've got my support if and when it does.
15:00I mean, Taylor's so much better than Sheila.
15:02Imagine coming home to someone like her every day.
15:05You know, someone so... so warm, so positive.
15:08The opposite of who Sheila is.
15:11It can't be good for you, surrounding yourself with all that negative energy.
15:16Be honest, Dad.
15:17There's got to be moments where you're cautious and wary of Sheila.
15:21Where you wonder what she still might be capable of.
15:23And think about what happened with Luna.
15:25The whole reason why you started seeing Taylor in the first place.
15:28Sheila 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 what, that's over now. It doesn't matter. Luna's gone.
15:37Thank God.
15:39But Sheila opened herself up to her.
15:41She chose Luna over you.
15:42Lied to your face.
15:44Makes me wonder.
15:47She actually reformed.
15:50Dad, do you seriously want to be around the next time she goes off the rails?
15:54Because I don't want that for you.
15:56I'm guessing Taylor doesn't either.
15:59I mean, she could be the one.
16:02The one to help you get out of this disaster of a marriage.
16:05I mean, this is perfect, actually.
16:07I mean, you spending time with her, getting to know her better?
16:11That's her patient.
16:13Exactly.
16:15I mean, Taylor's a well-respected psychiatrist.
16:17She's known for her good deeds, her contributions to society, not her crimes.
16:24She's an extraordinary woman, Dad.
16:27Look, she's my therapist.
16:29That's it.
16:32For now.
16:33You're overreacting.
16:41Steffi, nothing has happened between Deacon and me.
16:45But part of you would like it to.
16:50Mom, this is wrong on so many levels.
16:53And not just because you're his doctor, not just because he is married.
16:57That is still terrible.
16:58But he is married to a lunatic.
17:01Have you not thought about this?
17:04Of course.
17:05Think of all the terrible things Sheila has done to us.
17:09All the crimes that she's committed here in Los Angeles.
17:12In Genoa City.
17:13I mean, it takes one thing to trigger her and she's going to snap.
17:18Now, you can pretend that she's this, like, peaceful waitress, but she can be extremely dangerous in an instant.
17:25Unless she really has changed.
17:30She risked her life to save you.
17:35Just because she saved me, Mom, it doesn't erase her sins.
17:42I'm really worried about you, Mom.
17:45I am.
17:47This isn't you.
17:50Going after a married man?
17:53Sheila's husband?
17:54Really?
17:55Come on.
17:58You're right.
18:01I know you're right.
18:03And I swear to you, Deacon and I haven't crossed the line.
18:07Maybe not physically.
18:10But what about emotionally?
18:15Mom, look at me.
18:18If Sheila knew what you two were up to,
18:22what do you think she would do?
18:23We both know the answer to that.
18:28She would come after you.
18:31You would be a target.
18:32You would be her next victim.
18:37Mom, I know this has been really difficult for you.
18:40I know ever since dad went back to Brooke, it's been extremely hard for you.
18:46And I'm happy that you are moving on.
18:49But you deserve someone who loves you and only you is committed to you.
18:58But it's not Deacon, Mom.
19:02Anyone but Deacon.
19:04Anyone but Deacon.
19:11You're right.
19:14You're absolutely right.
19:16I know.
19:24I know.
19:26I know.
19:27I know.
19:28I know.
