00:04Deacon, there's no way.
00:06No, I'm telling you, Dad.
00:07Yeah, no, no, you've got to be mistaken.
00:08No, no, I know what I saw.
00:10You saw? You saw the two of them? You saw that?
00:12No, no, not yet.
00:14Deacon was Mom's patient, and then it developed into something more, Dad.
00:18It develops into what? What do you mean?
00:19I don't know. They started looking at each other differently.
00:22Lines were crossed.
00:23Mom got involved with a married man, and not just a married man, Dad.
00:26Sheila's man.
00:36Listen, I know what you said, but I had to see you.
00:40I can't stand this. I have to kiss you again.
00:46Makes your mouth water, though. Am I right?
00:49The next time, you've got to try the risotto. It is to die for.
00:53Hope! Hope, wait a minute.
00:55Sheila, hi!
00:56Gosh, your timing. It could not have been better.
00:59Look, I want you to take a look at this.
01:02They're the specials for the weekend. Tell me what you think.
01:05I really like the brown butter sage ravioli,
01:08but your dad is hooked on the goat cheese with honey.
01:12It's weird. It's like the first thing we've disagreed on.
01:17Well, they both sound delicious,
01:20but I'm thinking maybe the brown butter and sage is a nice choice.
01:29That's exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.
01:32So, is he, um...
01:35Oh, your dad.
01:36Um, he's not here at the moment.
01:38Where is he?
01:40He's with Taylor.
01:55Dad's with Taylor?
01:57Mm-hmm.
01:59Okay, I-I know what you're gonna say.
02:02You do?
02:03Yes.
02:03I mean, what could the two of them possibly be doing at this hour,
02:07but, you know, Taylor's schedule, it's extremely busy.
02:11She's booked weeks out in advance,
02:12but somehow, the good doctor,
02:13she always manages to squeeze your dad in at the end of her workday.
02:18Wow. Nice of her.
02:19Yeah, well, you know, it's one of those perks, ooh,
02:23of, uh, having that close relationship with the famous Dr. Taylor Hayes.
02:27Yeah, she certainly knows how to work her magic.
02:30No, beyond belief.
02:32I-I am so impressed with her skills as a-as a therapist.
02:36I know my dad has been impressed by her, too.
02:41She's done wonders for Deacon and for our relationship.
02:44It's-it's almost like Taylor,
02:47like she's breathed new life into my husband
02:51and our marriage.
02:56Sharp.
02:57The guy who's married to a maniac.
02:59That's who your mother's hooking up with.
03:01I know it sounds crazy.
03:02It is crazy. It is unbelievable to me.
03:04This is so unlike Mom.
03:05She's usually able to read people.
03:07She's a good judge of character.
03:08When did this start?
03:10A while ago,
03:11but I think they just started to act on it recently.
03:14Okay. Does Sheila know about this?
03:16What? Sheila?
03:16God, no.
03:17No, she cannot find out.
03:19I know and Hope knows,
03:20and Hope's thrilled about it,
03:23and I'm the one freaking out.
03:24So what do we do when Sheila does find out about it?
03:26No, no, that-that can't happen.
03:28That's exactly what I told Mom.
03:29She can't put her life at risk.
03:31Nothing can happen between Mom and Deacon.
03:33Of course not.
03:35What's Taylor thinking?
03:38Okay.
03:46We shouldn't have done that.
03:49Deacon, Stephie gave me an ultimatum.
03:52I can't do this.
04:06I know that your dad and I are doing better than ever.
04:10I mean, all these late-night therapy sessions with Taylor
04:12truly have been beneficial.
04:14I know that isn't what you really want to hear.
04:19You probably are hoping someplace deep down
04:22that he moves on
04:24and decides to leave me
04:26because you think that's what would be best for him.
04:29But it's-it's not.
04:32I mean, our relationship is strong, Hope.
04:35It is stronger than ever,
04:37and getting stronger every single day.
04:40And it's not because we just sit around
04:43and allow things to happen.
04:45It's because of the effort that we put into things.
04:47You know, not just me working on myself
04:50and continuing to work on myself,
04:53but Deacon with his therapy.
04:54I-I-we finally-finally have the life
04:59that I-I dreamed we could have.
05:03Honestly, all that I care about
05:05is whether or not my dad is happy.
05:08Well, you're very protective of him.
05:11And so am I.
05:13I mean, I-I adore that man with my whole heart,
05:18and I know that he adores me, too.
05:22I just, you know,
05:25this-this tension that you and I have
05:27between us and-and with Deacon and myself,
05:30that is really hard on your dad.
05:33It-it really is, and I-I-I just think
05:37that you could help me, Hope.
05:38How so?
05:41Deacon looks up to you.
05:43I think that you could help bring him around.
05:45I-I really-I want to be more involved in his life.
05:51I-I want to be there for him.
05:53If he needs me.
05:56If you need me.
05:57I want to be there for both of you.
05:59I'm-we're family now, and that's what family does.
06:03But it really would make things so much easier on Deacon
06:08if-if you guys would just accept the fact
06:13that I'm-I am his life partner.
06:19Till death do us part, right?
06:26Look, I'm sorry to dump this on you.
06:28I-I know that you're really stressed out about Couture.
06:30You know, I'm glad you told me.
06:33I know it's awkward.
06:34I had to come to you.
06:35I know you're remarried to Brooke, but...
06:38you're really the only one who knows Mom.
06:41You're the only one who really understands the situation, like I do.
06:45What about the history of all of this?
06:46Everything that Deacon did?
06:47Everything that Sheila did?
06:48I know.
06:48And he just shrugged it off.
06:49I-I get all of that.
06:51I'm never gonna forget that Sheila shot me and Finn.
06:53Brooke.
06:54Mom.
06:55You still married her.
06:58Okay, look, Deacon, I don't think he's that bad of a guy, but...
07:02He is a bad guy.
07:03He's taking advantage of your mother.
07:05You see that, right?
07:05No, no, no.
07:06You're-you-you are right.
07:07You're right.
07:08I'm sorry.
07:09You're right.
07:09He-he took advantage.
07:12He's getting, what, relationship advice from Mom?
07:14He's waiting for Mom's walls to come down so he can make a move?
07:18That's what he does.
07:19He manipulates people.
07:20That's what he does.
07:20Well, I-I-I told Mom that he can't be her patient anymore, and I really thought she listened to
07:25me.
07:26But she's still seeing Deacon.
07:28Ugh.
07:30Yeah, she confessed to me that she has feelings for him.
07:34I promise I'm not trying to complicate your life.
07:38And there is another reason I came by, though.
07:40What?
07:41Okay.
07:42Can you keep a secret?
07:43Yeah.
07:44All right.
07:45Do you remember the old bikini bar?
07:46Of course.
07:48I'm gonna resurrect it.
07:49I'm gonna turn it into my restaurant.
07:52Deacon, that's amazing.
07:55Congratulations.
07:56A restaurant on the beach, it's a great investment.
07:58I mean, I'm kind of nervous about it.
08:00I mean, it's a big move.
08:02But Il Giardino's doing phenomenally well, and I think this could be a cash cow.
08:07You know, really put me on the map here in L.A.
08:10Well, you're already on the map.
08:12Il Giardino's one of the hottest reservations in Southern California.
08:15I just-I can't believe this is my life, you know?
08:18I mean, it's amazing.
08:19I haven't even told Sheila yet.
08:21You know, I just-I wanted to tell you first.
08:25You know, because the fact that I'm even able to do something at this level-Taylor, this is all because
08:31of you.
08:32Deacon.
08:33No, really.
08:34I mean, you know, I'm living up to my full potential.
08:37And that's because of you and everything you've done for me.
08:41I-I mean, you know, you taught me how to-I don't know, how to feel good about myself, how
08:46to want and-and do better.
08:49You gave me a new lease on life.
08:52And on love.
09:02I'm going to go throw in a couple extra pizzas.
09:04Oh, no, no, no.
09:05That's-that's really-it's not necessary.
09:07No, I-I want to.
09:10If your dad were here, he would insist.
09:12And when he comes back, I want to be able to tell him I sent you home with an armload
09:15of food.
09:17Well, thank you.
09:19You're welcome.
09:22You see?
09:25Wasn't so bad, right?
09:26I can be nice.
09:29It's probably going to take more than a few pies to get you to change your mind.
09:32I, uh, I have known you a while, Sheila.
09:37Most of your life.
09:40We've never been close.
09:43Not yet, anyway.
09:47It's not that I haven't tried to see this different side of you.
09:52I-I really have, especially for my dad's sake.
09:55It's just...
09:59For the life of me, I...
10:01To this day, I'm not sure I'll ever really be able to understand what it is that draws the two
10:08of you together.
10:09Most people, they don't understand.
10:13I mean, what-what we have, Hope, it's-it's-it's special.
10:18It's-it's unique, and it's powerful.
10:21We speak each other's language.
10:24Of course, Taylor speaks it now as well.
10:27She knows what makes us tick.
10:29Well, I will say, I-I've seen my dad change.
10:34He's wiser, he's more confident, more self-assured.
10:39Yes.
10:40Yes, that's-it's...
10:41That's my point, exactly.
10:43And-and-and I'd like to think that-that I-I had a powerful influence there, just-just like he's
10:49had in my life.
10:51Well, he's certainly changed because of the love of a woman.
11:00She confessed her feelings, Tone?
11:03Okay, look, I-I don't know if I should be telling you all of the details, but...
11:08I'm just concerned about her, Dad.
11:10Yeah, you and me both.
11:11Is she thinking about the repercussions of any of this?
11:12I don't think she's thinking about anything.
11:14I don't think she's aware of it.
11:16I don't think she's allowing it to sink in.
11:18I mean, I can't blame her after everything she's been through, losing you.
11:22She was devastated, Dad.
11:24And she went into a really dark place.
11:26And she did tell me that...
11:30She told me that she didn't think she could ever be able to connect with another man after you.
11:35Listen, I-I want her to find joy and fulfillment.
11:39But maybe she can do that without putting everybody at risk with Sheila.
11:42I-I get it, and I want that too.
11:45That's why I told Mom there was going to be consequences.
11:48But she didn't listen to you, did she?
11:50No, I was tough on her.
11:53But I had to do what needed to be done.
11:56What needed to be done? What does that mean?
11:57I gave Mom an ultimatum.
11:59It's either me and the kids...
12:02Or Deacon.
12:03She can't have both.
12:06Look, I love Mom, and I'm gonna protect her.
12:09God knows what Sheila would do if she found out, but I need to protect my kids too.
12:13They are gonna come first to me.
12:16So hopefully Mom realizes it and ends it with Deacon.
12:20I'm really happy for you, Deacon.
12:22You see?
12:23That's how I know Bikini's gonna be a hit.
12:25Taylor, it's your faith in me.
12:27This is all because of you.
12:30You know what?
12:31Free pina coladas for the rest of your life.
12:32That's it.
12:33Your money's no good there.
12:35You know, I haven't even told Sheila yet, so...
12:38That ought to tell you something.
12:40Are you gonna have to tell her at some point?
12:43Yeah, I know.
12:44I just wanted to keep it sacred for a while between us.
12:49You know, more and more, I'm just closing myself off to my wife.
12:53And it's not just for my sake.
12:55It's for my kids' sake too.
12:57I mean, I think about what they think of her and, you know, they're freaked out by her.
13:03I mean, think about that for a second.
13:04My kids are afraid of the woman that I'm with.
13:08I mean, I don't want to lose them.
13:10The present company excluded, they're the most important thing in the world to me.
13:16The more time I spend with my wife, the further I push my kids away.
13:22And the closer we get, the more I risk driving Steffi and my grandkids away from me.
13:40I want to be supportive.
13:41I want Mom to find someone incredible, someone to share her life with.
13:45Well, not Deacon.
13:46That's way too risky.
13:49I think she's just yearning for connection, Dad.
13:53This is so unlike her.
13:55She is very lucky to have you in her corner.
13:58Yeah.
14:00I really think Mom is lonely, Dad.
14:04I think she's hurting and she's lost.
14:09How do you explain getting involved with a guy like Deacon that's married to Sheila, right?
14:14She'll find a way back to reality.
14:16She will.
14:17Yeah.
14:18She needs to stay away from him.
14:20Yeah.
14:20Look, she's a beautiful, smart woman.
14:22She can have any man she wants.
14:25Any man but you?
14:28I'm going to go check on her and tell you how she's doing.
14:32Good.
14:33Yeah.
14:33Actually, she's been working late, so she's probably at the office.
14:36Okay.
14:37I'll go now.
14:38Okay.
14:40It's so good to know that I can confide in you and I feel a lot better just getting it
14:45off my chest.
14:46Always talk to me.
14:47We'll figure this out.
14:48Okay.
14:49But I know one thing.
14:51Deacon is not going to be in your mother's life.
14:53It's not going to happen.
14:55I love you.
14:56Love you.
15:10Oh, wow.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:12It took a little long.
15:13I sure felt one of the pieces wrong, so I had him redo it.
15:15Oh, you really?
15:16You didn't have to do that.
15:17Oh, no.
15:17I did.
15:18I did.
15:19I want you and Liam and Beth to have a beautiful dinner.
15:24Um, speaking of, they're probably wondering why I'm not home yet.
15:29But you know what?
15:29Before you go, there's just one more thing I'd like to say about your dad and me.
15:35We really work hope.
15:39And he's there for me and I'm there for him.
15:41And we lead this beautiful, simple life.
15:46But it's our beautiful life.
15:49And it's more than I ever dreamed of, truly.
15:53I finally found peace and fidelity and love with the most incredible, compassionate, caring, supportive man.
16:04A man who, a man who loves me unconditionally.
16:09I refuse to let that go.
16:12I will always fight for Deacon.
16:17And no one will come between my husband and me.
16:27What if Sheila wonders where you are?
16:29You've been here a while.
16:31Stay as long as you have me.
16:34Deacon, I don't want you to leave.
16:36Then I won't leave.
16:39Steffi gave me a warning.
16:42You or her and the kids.
16:46Look, I hate the position you've been put in.
16:48I do.
16:49I don't want to see you lose Steffi or your grandkids.
16:53What about you?
16:54Hey, what about your happiness?
16:57Your heart?
16:59Because what we found, this is the real deal.
17:02This doesn't come along every day.
17:04You know, it's no more chasing Brooke.
17:06No more waiting for Ridge.
17:08This is reciprocal.
17:10This is pure.
17:11And it's true.
17:12And I don't know how the hell we give it up.
17:15Because, Taylor, I don't want to let you go.
17:18And I don't think you want me to let you go.
17:29Take your hands off her.
17:32Ridge, what are you doing?
17:33What are you doing?
17:35This?
17:36This is the guy you want to be involved with?
17:37This guy?
17:38Sheila's husband?
17:39Forrester, this is nothing to...
17:40What is wrong with you?
17:42You're putting her in danger.
17:43You're putting a whole family in danger.
17:46This ends now.
17:47Leave her alone.
18:02Here's a look ahead.
18:03You are going to make the most beautiful ride.
18:07I didn't want you to find out what these two were doing, but I think it's time you heard the
18:10truth.
18:11What truth?
18:11I'm in love with Taylor, and I couldn't stop.
18:14It's over.
18:15Stay away from her.
