Finn told Sheila that he was surprised that she didn't put up more of a fight to keep Deacon. Sheila said she didn't just want him and Hayes in her life, but rather she needs them.

Sheila said that she wanted two minutes of Steffy's time so Sheila could plead her case. After all, Sheila said, her mother just stole my husband. Sheila said that she wasn't going to murder anyone. "That's comforting," Finn deadpanned.

Sheila said she felt trapped. She said she needed her son and her grandson. Finn recapped all the good that Sheila had done in terms of her life with Deacon. Sheila countered that all that was gone. Sheila asked Finn to see him as she was now -- a woman begging for another chance. Finn said that he knew life was fleeting and that there was a power in forgiveness. Finn said he thought Sheila had changed, and he told her he forgave her in his heart.

Sheila said it meant a lot that Finn forgave her. She wanted her son to talk to Steffy for her. Finn referred to Sheila as "Mom," which touched Sheila deeply.

Finn said that he saw a good person, but that it didn't matter because of Steffy. Sheila asked her son to go to bat for her. "Don't turn away from your mother," Sheila begged Finn, as she embraed him.

Steffy Draws a Line

Over at Forrester Creations, Steffy wondered what the catch was with Sheila signing the divorce papers. Taylor wondered if Sheila had changed. Steffy doubted that strongly.

Steffy also doubted that Taylor was going to let Deacon and Taylor go on their way. Steffy said that Sheila's return was freaking her out, and she wondered why it wasn't doing the same to her mom. Steffy said that she had post traumatic stress after everything that Sheila put her through. She's glad that Finn listened to her when she told him he can't have Sheila and her.

Steffy recounted Sheila showing up with a pizza cutter at Taylor's. The psychiatrist pointed out that Sheila has grown. Steffy countered that she wouldn't feel safe until Sheila was locked up. Steffy was determined to keep Sheila away from her family.

Steffy said that her mom falling for Deacon wasn't the smartest thing that she'd ever done. She added that Sheila was not going to just go away. Steffy advised being a united front. She added that no one who is around Sheila can be near her. Steffy wondered if Sheila had already reached out to Finn. She hoped not. "She needs to go far away," Steffy said about her mother-in-law.

Fashion Forward

At Bill Spencer's office, Ridge called Will a "James Dean wannabe" and he needed to stay away from RJ. Ridge added that Logan Designs needed to stop going after Forrester Creations personnel. Bill wondered why Ridge was visiting him at his company. Bill said that it was no longer "tired, old Forrester," but rather "new, vibrant Logan."

Bill downplayed Will and RJ scuffling. Bill said that all Katie wanted was Brooke's support. Ridge countered that Katie stole the relationship between Brooke and Hope. Bill said that they took Eric in when Ridge was ready to stick him in a nursing home.

Bill wondered why he and Katie were the bad guys when the Forresters were doing the same thing in the fashion world that they were. Bill maintained that he was going to get what he wanted. Ridge called Logan Designs a "discount startup."

Bill offered to show Ridge the sales numbers for Logan, but he wasn't interested. Bill said he was the king of LA fashion, and Katie was the queen. He said that Ridge had lost his title, and the good old Dollar Bill was now "the dressmaker."

Bill proclaimed that he was always 10 steps ahead of everyone else, including Ridge and the other clowns at Forrester. Ridge told Bill that he took his father's company and added bad taste to it.

Ridge said that he should have called the police and pressed charges. Bill said that's not how Spencers operate. "Kill or be killed," Bill said. "That's how winning is done."

Bill said that RJ was soft. Then, Ridge struck Bill. "That's for my son," Ridge said before walking out. "Got him," Bill gloated.
