00:00Patient remains committed to working through issues of distrust.
00:09He's letting go of past transgressions, both professionally and personally.
00:16I'm happy with Deacon's progress, but we're still going to have to attend to...
00:21Did I really hear that right?
00:24You're still seeing Deacon as a patient?
00:30I have to get downstairs to meet the new vendor, and I can't find my phone.
00:40Baby, have you seen it anywhere?
00:42Yeah, it's over here.
00:43Okay.
00:46Ow.
00:47I could have grabbed that for you.
00:51Grabbed what?
00:52This is a lot more fun anyway.
01:00I have a question for you.
01:04Hmm?
01:05It's about Taylor.
01:10What's going on with you two?
01:12The Luna situation was really difficult for all of us.
01:27Must have been nice for him to have someone to really lean on.
01:30A girlfriend is understanding it's you.
01:34R.J. Forrester.
01:35And so it's true.
01:40The Golden Boy is back.
02:42RJ and I were just getting to know each other.
02:46Wait, what? Aren't you guys cousins?
02:49Well, apparently, not really. We are both foresters.
02:53Not related by blood.
02:54And we've actually never met before today.
02:58Electra gave me a nice forester welcome.
03:02You know, man, I should actually congratulate you.
03:06Oh, yeah? Yeah, what for?
03:08Having someone as sweet and talented as Electra for your girlfriend.
03:13Taylor, what about her?
03:24You're continuing to see her.
03:27Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't be where I am without her.
03:31Well, that's good.
03:32I'm glad to hear that because she has been good for you.
03:36It's just been good for our marriage.
03:41I love you.
03:42Okay.
03:43Dad?
03:54Yeah?
03:55Dad.
03:56Hey, sweetie.
03:57Hi.
03:57This is a nice surprise.
04:00Yeah.
04:00Give me a hug.
04:01Hi.
04:02Hi.
04:03Um, this is actually perfect.
04:04I saw Sheila on the way out, which is good because I wanted to talk to you about something alone.
04:10Uh, is everything okay?
04:14Yes.
04:14Yeah, everything's okay.
04:16I just have something I would like to ask you directly.
04:22What exactly is going on between you and Taylor?
04:29Stephanie, listen.
04:30We talked about this, Mom, after I saw you and Deacon together.
04:34You can't be with him.
04:36You know that, right?
04:36You know what, RJ?
04:49You're right.
04:50I am the luckiest guy in the world because not only is this Electra the most amazing woman that I've ever met, but for whatever reason, she chose me.
05:00So, RJ, what about you?
05:03Still globetrotting?
05:04No, I'll actually, uh, be sticking around for a while.
05:09Really?
05:11Well, hey, I know that our dads don't really get along.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Let's put it mildly.
05:17Right.
05:18And I say this because I'm actually a part of the Forrester Creations team.
05:23And, uh, I'm assuming that you and I are going to be working together.
05:27So, I think it'd be good for business if you and I decided to not behave like our dads.
05:34Sounds good to me.
05:36Cool.
05:39Now, are we still on for dinner tonight?
05:41Yeah.
05:42I got a couple things I gotta finish up here, so I'll call you when I'm on my way.
05:46Okay.
05:47I'm gonna get home, get started on that teriyaki chicken you like.
05:50Oh, yes.
05:51I can't wait.
05:51And I can't wait to see you later tonight.
06:02So, we'll re-evaluate the pinot count as the weather gets a little warmer.
06:07But for now, this is great.
06:09Excellent.
06:10Thank you so much.
06:11Okay.
06:12I know.
06:12I always take it.
06:13Always.
06:13Hey, can I get you to take this to the back room for me?
06:21Thanks.
06:33You know what?
06:34It's like you just know when I need to talk to somebody.
06:38Ah, sorry to say.
06:39It's the takeout that brought me in today.
06:41Well, you know what?
06:42I'm glad to see you either way, so.
06:44How about I get you a drink while you wait?
06:47Sure.
06:47And I can fill you in on all the latest with Deacon and me.
06:52Okay.
06:53Had me worried there for a second, kiddo.
06:55Something was wrong.
06:57So, tell me, how's married life?
06:59I'm guessing good, great, grand, amazing?
07:02Mm-hmm.
07:03I see what you're doing here.
07:05Uh, but to answer your question, things at home with Liam are wonderful.
07:10Good.
07:11Good.
07:12And I know a little girl who is absolutely thrilled that her parents are back together.
07:16Gosh, Beth's positivity and her enthusiasm are rather infectious, so.
07:22I could definitely use a little of that in my life.
07:25I really need to see my granddaughter.
07:28Yeah, well, I know she'd love to see you, but you do know my boundary with that.
07:34Yeah, no, Sheila.
07:35I know.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Also, you know what I would really love?
07:40What's that?
07:41For you to not evade my original question?
07:46I spoke with Deke.
07:50I don't know what Deke would have told you.
07:53Is it true?
07:55You and Taylor.
07:56Mom, I thought we agreed dropping Deacon as a patient was the only way to move forward.
08:08I don't expect you to understand, Steffi.
08:11But I'm proud of what I've accomplished with Deacon.
08:13And there's more that he and I can do together.
08:16Professionally.
08:17Only professionally.
08:19Okay, even if I believe you can actually move past your feelings for Deacon, then.
08:26Mom, have you even thought about Sheila?
08:28Really?
08:30Do you know what she would do if she found out?
08:32Of course, of course.
08:32It's a valid concern.
08:34But Deacon is still committed to his marriage.
08:37He has faith in her.
08:39And do you?
08:42Exactly.
08:44Just because Sheila got shot, it doesn't give her a clean slate.
08:47We both know what she's capable of.
08:49And that's why I'm always going to be leery of Sheila.
08:53She could snap.
08:55She could go crazy.
08:57Especially the thought of losing Deacon.
08:58Hey, Will.
09:19Oh, hey, Dylan.
09:20Don't mean to intrude, just doing some laundry.
09:23Yeah, I see that.
09:24You're not intruding, though.
09:25Can I get you anything?
09:26No, thanks.
09:27Smells amazing.
09:30Oh, thank you.
09:31Yeah, I was actually making dinner for Electra and me.
09:34She's had a tough week, so I wanted to do something special.
09:37Sweet.
09:38She's lucky to have you.
09:40I'll make sure to give you to your privacy tonight.
09:45I understand.
09:46Yeah, we have a deadline to meet.
09:50Sure.
09:51I'll cancel my plans for tonight.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Yeah, I'll let you know later.
09:55Okay.
09:57Bye.
10:00Not prying or anything, but it sounds like that wasn't exactly what you expected.
10:07Is everything okay?
10:09I'll be fine.
10:11It was my Aunt Ivy.
10:13We're down to the wire for prep, and she needs me to stay late.
10:17It means no chicken teriyaki for you tonight, huh?
10:26Honey, you're jumpy to conclusions.
10:29I pose no actual threat to Sheila losing Deacon.
10:31Nothing has happened between us.
10:33Yet.
10:33I can see it in your eyes, Mom.
10:36Okay, okay, yes.
10:37I started to feel something that I haven't felt since your father, and I'm aware that
10:41I can't, that I won't act on it, but it did remind me that I can feel that way about
10:46someone.
10:46That losing Ridge didn't break me.
10:48Mom, look, I want you to move on, okay?
10:52I want you to be happy.
10:53But Deacon is the wrong guy.
10:56You can't get involved with Sheila's husband.
11:07What's wrong?
11:09Do you have trouble in your marriage again?
11:12No.
11:15Maybe I've...
11:17I don't know.
11:20It's good news then?
11:21I didn't say that.
11:23Well, what happened?
11:27Last time we spoke, you were so open to my advice.
11:30So ready to allow yourself to believe you deserve Deacon's love.
11:35What happened?
11:36I do deserve it.
11:38At least I want...
11:40I really want to believe that.
11:42I just...
11:43I wish that Hope and Deac were more supportive.
11:48Come on, Dad.
11:49I know all about the conversation you had with Deacon.
11:51Your brother was supposed to keep that conversation to himself.
11:54Okay, please don't be upset with him.
11:56I told him that in privacy and he...
11:58He agreed not to say anything to anybody.
12:01But, Dad, it's me.
12:02I know, honey.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:07It's...
12:08This is complicated.
12:11I know.
12:12And it wouldn't have mattered anyway because Steffi came to me about it.
12:16She saw you and Taylor together.
12:18Look, I don't know what Steffi heard or saw or what she believes.
12:22That it doesn't matter.
12:23I know this is a very, very delicate situation.
12:28I know.
12:30I just don't want you to deny yourself.
12:35You're always telling me to follow my heart.
12:38And that is a big reason why I am married to Liam again.
12:44So thank you.
12:45But as your daughter, and I love and care about you, I just want you to be happy.
12:55And if Taylor is that for you, if you and Taylor really do have something, then I'm going to support you in that.
13:04Hey, if you're just leaving the office, it's going to be perfect timing.
13:29I really wish that's why I was calling.
13:31Okay, so you're getting in late.
13:35That's fine.
13:35I'll keep the food hot.
13:37No, I have to work late.
13:39I won't be there for dinner.
13:41Okay, well, come over whenever then.
13:44I don't care what time it is.
13:45I just want to see you.
13:46I really want to see you too, Will.
13:48But...
13:49But what?
13:50Is there a problem with you being here?
13:52I just get this feeling like my Aunt Ivy doesn't approve.
13:55And if she doesn't approve, then what does Eric think?
13:57And what do the rest of the Foresters think?
13:59Does any of this really matter?
14:02It does to me.
14:04It may seem silly worrying about what my family thinks, but I just respect them all so much.
14:11And I have seen my friends lose themselves in relationships.
14:14And I cherish our connection way too much to let that happen to me.
14:20To us.
14:20Please tell me you understand.
14:23I do.
14:24I do understand.
14:25Alexia, I want you to feel safe.
14:27I want you to feel comfortable.
14:28I love you.
14:30Now, don't get me wrong.
14:31I do wish you were falling asleep in my arms tonight, but...
14:34I'll be there in spirit.
14:36And save me a piece of your teriyaki chicken.
14:39Okay.
14:39Will do.
14:40Bye now.
14:41Hi, Will.
14:49Hey.
14:51Is everything okay?
14:52Okay.
14:52You can't be surprised that Deacon's family is enthralled about your marriage, Sheila.
15:03Cool.
15:05Thank you for stating the obvious link.
15:07Well, you clearly need a reminding.
15:09I mean, look, it could be a while before his children come around.
15:13They do it all.
15:15Yeah.
15:15I can imagine that's a heart pill to swallow, but, uh, he really values their opinions.
15:23Mm-mm.
15:24If you and Deacon are truly committed, Sheila, it'll protect that.
15:29Regardless of what anyone says.
15:32It's true.
15:34And we already do have somebody very substantial in our corner.
15:38I am so grateful that Taylor is supportive of Deacon and me.
15:44We are not messing with Sheila.
15:47I had to draw the line with Finn, and now I'm drawing the line with you.
15:51You need to cut off contact with Hope's dad.
15:53Steffi!
15:54Sheila could be set off at any moment, and that could be extremely dangerous for us.
15:59Especially for you.
16:01You need to drop Deacon as a patient.
16:03You are worthy of a woman like Taylor, and let's be honest here, she is a bit of a big step up from Sheila.
16:16Okay, I'm well aware of how you and your brother feel about my wife.
16:20Be honest.
16:22Can you really disagree with me here?
16:24Look, I'll say this.
16:26Taylor is a remarkable woman.
16:29I knew it.
16:32I knew it.
16:33Oh, come on.
16:35I'm a married man.
16:37Although I will say that seeking Taylor out for professional help was one of the smartest things I ever did.
16:43You know, she really made an impact on me about how I look at my life, how I see myself.
16:52You know, for a long time, I didn't think I was worthy of success or love.
16:59And I was basing this on like an old version of myself, but now I see it so clearly, thanks to her.
17:07I see how hard I've worked, how far I've come.
17:10And you know what?
17:10I do deserve it.
17:12That, that's incredible.
17:16And, um, I have developed feelings for Taylor.
17:23You know, I've thought about what a life with her would be like, but I can't go there.
17:32I can't hope it's too dangerous.
17:34And I'm not talking about for me.
17:36I'm talking about for Taylor.
17:39Sheila would go nuts.
17:42And that makes me afraid for Taylor.
17:44Who knows what Sheila will do if she finds out about you and Deacon.
17:55You could say it's nothing.
17:57You could say it's purely professional.
17:59It's just a friendship.
18:00I don't care.
18:01This whole thing is not safe.
18:05I can't lose you, Mom.
18:06I won't lose you.
18:11I can't lose you.
18:16I can't lose you.
18:17I can't lose you.
