My Favorite Ex-Wife

At Bikini, Sheila and Deacon continued their conversation about Taylor turning down Deacon’s marriage proposal. “I’m sorry. I really am,” Sheila stated.

Sheila said that she gave Deacon a divorce so he could be with Taylor. Deacon said to Sheila that she as making assumptions. Sheila was confused. Deacon and Taylor are together but they have no intention of getting married? She wanted to know what happened.

Sheila told Deacon that she understood him and she cared about him, and it appeared that he still cared about her. He admitted that he cared about her, too. Deacon said that just because he and Taylor weren’t getting married didn’t mean she didn’t want to be with him.

Sheila quipped that Taylor wasn’t allergic to getting married, pointing out that she walked down the aisle many times with Ridge. Deacon quipped that that would put anyone off marriage. Deacon noted that Taylor felt she didn’t need a piece of paper to make their union a committed one. Sheila told Deacon that she knew he was hurting. Sheila said that she didn’t expect Deacon to share his feelings about Taylor. “Good,” he replied.

Trying to lighten things, Sheila offered to take her 8 little piggies and go. Deacon chuckled that Sheila's 8 toes gave her away when she tried to hide from Stefffy in Monaco. Sheila said at least it made Deacon smile. She took his hand. “This feels so good, to talk, not censor myself, be open, no concerns,” Sheila said.

She added that she didn’t have to worry about Deacon misunderstanding her. She said that she was really enjoying being with him. Deacon said that he enjoyed it, too. “Sheila,” he said, “There’s no one else like you.”

RJ's Hope For The Future

Ridge admitted to RJ and Electra that Forrester Creations does need a young line to replace Hope For The Future. RJ said his generation wasn’t interested in chasing fads. He rhetorically asked who was better at high-quality fashion than Forrester, and who better than Electra by Electra Forrester to continue that?

Electra said to Ridge that she could be more than the jewelry line. She loves her job. She loves Forrester. She promised Ridge that she could make the Electra line something that they’d all be proud of producing. Ridge told RJ that a new line is an enormous investment. “This is the future of Forrester Creations,” RJ said of Electra.

Ridge conceded that they had made a good pitch; RJ and Electra said that they’d want Zende to be a part of it, too. Ridge concurred, but he said that he needed to run this by Steffy.

After Ridge left Eric’s office, RJ and Electra had hope for the future of Electra by Electra Forrester. RJ said to Electra that she was one of the youngest, hottest names in fashion. RJ said they’d make fashion history just as his parents, Ridge and Brooke, have done over the years.

Hello, Stephanie

Katie channeled the late Stephanie Forrester as she ripped into Dylan, accusing her of less than ethical motives when it came to her shirtless son, Will. "Well, clearly, you spent the night," Katie snarked at Dylan, who was wearing Will's shirt.

Katie had a list of rhetorical questions about Melissa Dylan. "What do you really know about her?" and "Who is she?" and "What exactly are you up to Melissa Dylan?" Katie asked her son’s new partner.

Katie was fairly relentless in sizing up Dylan and her motives, calling out her going after her friend Electra’s boyfriend while he, Will, was still trying to figure things out. Dylan called Katie “Mrs. Spencer” with respect but she didn’t seem to be able to reach her.

Katie said that she’d learned so many interesting things about Dylan. She couldn’t believe that Dylan hadn’t told Will how intrigued she was with her family. Dylan said, of course, she knew who the Spencers were because they are celebrities, and she loved reading Eye on Fashion.

Dylan pointed out to Will that they came from different worlds. Katie said to Dylan, and yet, here you are, hanging out at the beach, working at Forrester Creations, and sleeping with my son, “William Spencer.” Katie said that she cocldn’t imagine it was just a coincidence.

Will told Katie that what went on in his house was his business and that he was a grown man! Katie said that Will loved Electra. Will said that he did, but that she did not love him. He wasn’t going to subject himself to something that wasn't going to work any longer.

Katie accused Dylan of having an agenda, asking rhetorically how long it took her to meet her son. Dylan told Will that it wasn’t like that. Dylan said she didn’t know she’d meet Electra (and later, Will) through her art teaching job. Dylan said she appreciated what’s real about him and the fierce love within his family. Dylan told Will how lucky he was to have a mother who was so devoted to him as Katie is. Katie rolled her eyes over that one! Dylan said that it wasn’t about the money.

Katie snarked that the money was part of the attraction, wasn't it? Dylan sighed and said she understood why she was wary of Will; she asked Katie for a chance to prove how much she cared about her son. Dylan said that she would always put him first, and she’d never leave him (a dig at Electra and her actions, we suspect), and that he could always count on her. Katie acted disgusted.
