At Il Giardino, Hope tells Liam she brought him there to discuss the Douglas issue where the boy couldn’t hear them. They speculate as to what brought it on and whether Thomas has been thinking of this for a while now. Liam thinks the boy is thriving and doesn’t know why anyone would mess with that. Hope tears up thinking about Douglas moving out and not being a part of her daily life. It would upset Beth so much… it would upset all of them!

By the bar, Deacon tells Paul the inventory is done and asks to take an early lunch, as he spots Hope and Liam. At their table, Liam tries to calm Hope, who worries that Thomas will get the courts involved. Deacon appears and asks what’s wrong.

At Forrester Creations, Sanchez tells the group gathered in the office that as far as the department’s concerned, it’s a closed case — Sheila’s never going to bother anyone again. Li checks in with Finn, who assures her he’s doing okay, and the group thanks the detective as he leaves. Thomas walks in and asks if Sheila’s been found. Taylor and Steffy that Sanchez had photos… and a toe. “Sheila’s dead.” Thomas is skeptical. “Sheila has pulled this before.” Steffy tells him the police had DNA evidence to back it up. Taylor insists she’s gone and out of their lives forever. Thomas needs time for this to sink in. Brooke declares they can go on with their lives. Eric feels responsible for bringing her into their lives and their family. Brooke and Taylor assure him he couldn’t have known all those years ago. “She’s finally gone,” Brooke reiterates.

At Bill’s place, he’s glad to see Li has stopped by — she’s looking so much better! Li just wanted to thank him for everything he did for her and her son de ella. “We owe you.” Bill tells her she owes him nothing; he just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Li recaps how he found her in the alley, brought her here and took care of her. Bill teases that she’ll need to keep his kindness under wraps; he has a reputation to consider. Talk turns to Sheila, and Li explains that’s the other reason she came — to tell him about Sheila. “She’s dead.”

At Il Giardino, Deacon’s learned offscreen that Thomas wants Douglas to live with him and deems it “totally nuts.” Douglas is part of their family now! Hope points out that Thomas can revisit the custody arrangement as Douglas’ father. Deacon smokes that Liam needs to put a stop to this. The little guy is happiest with them. Hope calms her father of her. She loves that he cares so much, but Douglas means a lot to Thomas too. Deacon argues if he loves his son, he’ll leave him right where he is.

Deacon offers to “talk” to Thomas and Liam blurts, “Oh, no, no, no, no.” Hope assures her dad they’ll handle this on their own, besides, they don’t know if Thomas will even do anything. Brooke appears and Deacon wonders if she’s okay. She explains she’s relieved, actually, but still a bit in shock. Brooke says they don’t have to worry about Sheila anymore. Hope wonders if they arrested her. Brooke says they did n’t have to — she’d already met her grisly death de ella when they found her.

At Forrester, Ridge has the photo of Sheila’s toe on his phone to remind him she can’t hurt them anymore, which makes Taylor and Steffy cringe. Thomas likes the idea. Steffy explains Finn’s gone to the hospital to get checked out and they speculate about how he’s feeling about his biological mother’s death from her. Steffy has to think, what with everything that’s happened, that he sees it as a blessing.

At Bill’s place, he gawps, “Sheila Carter’s middle toe?” Li explains it was how they confirmed it was her de ella. Bill finds it fitting that she met her end of her being mauled by an animal; she was an animal herself. Li wanted to tell him, but also to thank him for his kindness. She’s heard he can be ruthless, but what he did for her speaks volumes about the kind of man he truly is.

At Il Giardino, Hope, Liam and Deacon have heard the story about the bear mauling and the middle toe. Deacon ponders this as Brooke declares that Sheila Carter is dead, and her reign of terror is over at long last. Deacon, affected by the news, swallows hard and seems red-eyed.

She tells Ridge that he and Taylor love each other. He shouldn’t waste the time he has and should go back to mom. “We all know how much you love her. Come back to the Foresters.”

Brooke asks, “Deacon… what are you doing here?” Deacon explains that Hope asked her to come by. Hope wanted to show her dad de ella the new designs for Hope for the Future.

At Forrester, Deacon tells Hope her line is fantastic. She’s glad he likes it. Deacon wonders if his daughter’s ever thought about modeling as a full-time career. Brooke calls them over to see Taylor’s photo of Steffy and her de ella family and squeals, “They’re so happy you can feel it through the screen.” She muses, “Destiny 2.0 maybe?” Hope teases that title may be reserved for her and Liam.

Brooke goes on about how happy she is for Ridge too as Hope posts her photo on social media and captions it, “Mom & Dad, together.”

In Monaco, Ridge notes that Taylor’s phone is blowing up. It’s all the likes and comments about Steffy and Finn. Ridge thinks the world should celebrate them for what they were put through. Taylor doesn’t want to think about Sheila, she’d rather focus on the good stuff. Ridge remarks that they went through something too, and Taylor recognizes that they’re always there for one another when it counts. Suddenly, she sees something on her phone and blurts, “Oh!” Ridge asks what she saw but she replies, “Nothing to see here.” Ridge isn’t buying it and asks what it is. Taylor claims it’s a random picture. He wants to see it. Taylor hands her phone over — it’s Hope’s selfie of her from Ella, Brooke and Deacon. Ridge grumps, “Well, that’s cozy.” He reflects that he asked her to stay away from that guy, and then he goes on a trip… “How about them apples?” Taylor takes him outside for some air.

Outside in Monte Carlo, Finn and Steffy canoodle. She marvels, “This doesn’t feel real.” She thought he was gone and never coming back. Coming back was all he thought about. She can’t stop staring at him — it feels like a dream. Finn assures her it’s real and then enthuses about the magic of Monaco. Steffy says, “It brought me you.” Finn agrees, “It will always be our special place.” Steffy shows her husband his ring from her; she carried it with her always because it made her feel close to him. Placing it back on his finger from him, something she never thought she’d be doing, she whispers, “My husband is back.”

Elsewhere, Taylor and Ridge stroll and she apologizes for the photo. He points out he would have seen in eventually. He wants to say he’s surprised but… He flies halfway across the world to help his grieving daughter de ella and she’s spending time with Deacon. Not wanting to focus on it, Ridge remarks on the beauty of Monaco. They reach an overlook and Ridge tells Taylor he’s been his rock from her. “I’ve never been so proud to have kids with you.” Taylor marvels that it’s been a whirlwind… it makes it seem like anything is possible. They embrace and then Ridge goes in for a sexy kiss. They make out as a helicopter drones past in the distance.

By the beach, Steffy can’t believe Finn is here or that he’s alive. Finn fought so hard for this moment. “Nothing and no one was going to keep me from you and my family.” He recalls how he would think of her when he was recovering and he promised himself — and her de ella — de ella that he would keep fighting. How painful it must have been for her, thinking he was dead all this time. Steffy nods. Their perfect little family was gone, like it never existed. She vows never to take him or their love for granted. “I didn’t really believe in miracles until today.” They express their love and share a deep kiss.
