In Deacon's loft, Finn and Deacon observed Sheila munching down pizza. Finn strongly advised Deacon to take Sheila to the hospital to get fluids, but Deacon said she didn't want to go. "God, I missed that woman," Deacon uttered. The freshly showered Sheila replied that she'd missed him and Finn, and she was dehydrated, not deaf. She could hear them talking about her.

Finn said that he and Deacon just wanted Sheila to be okay. She assured Finn that she was okay because she was with her two favorite men in the world. She thanked them for rescuing her and said she hadn't known how much longer she would have lasted. Deacon replied that she was alive, and that was the most important thing.

Finn took Sheila's pulse and asked how she felt mentally, physically, and emotionally. Sheila reported that she was really weak. Finn brought up the hospital again, but she believed she'd get better much faster at home with Deacon. Deacon brought Sheila hydrating fruit and asked what had happened to her. "Sugar happened," Sheila said, cowering.

Sheila asked how Deacon and Finn had known about Sugar. Deacon explained that Lauren had told him. Finn wondered how Sugar had done what she'd done. Sheila stated that she'd been slipping out to see someone from her past. She'd been getting text messages and should have ignored them. Sheila had gone to meet up with Sugar a few times, but Sugar had no-showed.

Sheila went on to say that while she had been running errands several weeks later, Sugar had abducted Sheila, taken her to the warehouse, and chained her up. Sheila had never been so afraid, seeing Sugar and the rage in her eyes. Sugar had just gotten out of prison and had been waiting for that day. Sugar had been imagining and planning her payback.

Sheila had a flashback of finding herself on a mattress on the floor, chained to a wall in a charcoal dark warehouse. Sugar said no one was even looking for Sheila. Speaking in a raspy whisper, Sugar bragged that she was in control. Sugar had been holding onto her anger for years, livid that her friend had tricked her into plastic surgery and dupped the police into making Sugar pay for Sheila's crimes. Sugar exclaimed that Sheila had ruined Sugar's life.

Back in the present, Sheila stated that she'd tried to stop Sugar and protect Steffy and the children, but Sugar had been obsessed and determined to make Sheila pay. Sheila said Sugar had almost gotten away with it. Deacon comforted Sheila, who sobbed.

In a flashback, Sugar said she had counted down the years, months, weeks, and days until she'd get revenge. She'd been consumed with it all the years she'd spent in the "loony bin" while Sheila had been free to live her life. Sheila replied that Sugar had been arrested for what she'd done to Lauren's son. Sugar claimed it wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for Sheila.

As the flashback continued, Sheila asked what Sugar was planning. Sugar stated that she got to commit crimes looking like Sheila, and the first place she'd strike was Steffy Forrester's house. "Steffy's gonna be your first victim," Sugar decided. Sugar revealed her plan to make everyone think Sheila had killed the mother of her grandson, and Sugar said Sheila would be locked up forever.

Still in the flashback, Sheila said Sugar looked like her but didn't sound like her. Sugar cleared her throat and asked, "How about now?" Sheila was shocked to hear her voice emanating from Sugar. Sheila implored Sugar to hurt Sheila instead of Steffy and those precious children. Sugar placed a veil and hood over her head, saying, "Tonight, Steffy Forrester dies." Sugar added that Sheila would spend the rest of her life in prison.

The flashback continued. Sheila tripped Sugar and yanked on the chain around Sheila's ankle. Sugar kicked Sheila in the face, and Sheila screamed at Sugar not to hurt Steffy. Sugar left, and Sheila continued to scream.

Sheila's desire to protect Steffy and the kids left Finn emotional and speechless. Sheila said she loved them and Finn more than herself. Sheila asked if Finn was sure Steffy and Hayes were okay. Finn assured her that they were fine but decided that they'd talk about it more after they took care of Sheila, who'd gone through the unthinkable.

Finn noted that Sheila had been brutalized, but her love for his wife and kids showed. Sheila insisted that she'd do anything to protect Finn, Steffy, and the children. "I believe you, Mom," Finn replied, and they hugged.

Downstairs, Liam unenthusiastically said it was great that the restaurant had a table for all three of them. Sipping wine, Steffy expressed surprise that Ivy had invited her to join them; she'd thought Ivy wanted Liam all to herself. Ivy recalled the old saying that three was a crowd.

Ivy asked if Steffy had missed her. Steffy claimed she had and said it was clear that Ivy had missed Liam. Steffy asked if it had been worth it to fly from Australia to plant one on Liam. Ivy explained that she'd shown up to see another handsome man Steffy knew well -- Eric. Ivy remarked that Eric looked great, and Steffy retorted that Ivy thought Liam did, too.

Liam suggested they change the subject, but Ivy began to tell him that even though it had been awhile and they'd changed over time, Liam was still the same beautiful man inside and out. She called him kind, caring, and "sexy as hell." Steffy rolled her eyes and swigged her wine. Ivy didn't know why women weren't beating down the door of the city's most eligible bachelor, but she said she would be if she lived there. "Wow," Steffy murmured and chugged her drink.

Stroking Liam's arm, Ivy considered that she might be too forward. "You think?" Steffy replied. Ivy didn't know why she should hide her feelings. She said she and Liam had changed and could be good for each other. Steffy decided that Liam was wonderful, and he was "all the things," including Kelly's father. Steffy said she and Liam needed to go see Kelly.

Liam stammered. Guessing it was "that time," Ivy said it had been good to see him. Liam replied that it had been good to see the beautiful Ivy. Ivy leaned in and kissed Liam. "On that note," Steffy announced, standing up. Liam cut off the kiss, and Ivy instructed him to call her. As Liam stammered that he would, Steffy ushered Ivy out with a series of, "Goodbye! Goodbye! Bye!"

After Ivy had gone, Steffy remarked that subtlety wasn't her cousin's strong suit. "Oh, neither is mine. Us Forrester women. You gotta love it," Steffy said, chuckling and sipping wine. Liam took her wine glass from her and set it down.

At the cliff house later, Steffy ended a call and said Becky would drop off Kelly, who was excited to see Liam. Steffy thanked him for being a loving and attentive father and said she knew he was the same way with Beth. Liam joked that, between her and Ivy, his ego would pop. Steffy claimed that she was different because she wasn't making a play for him.

Steffy asked if Liam wanted to see Ivy again. Liam flashed Steffy a look. Steffy remarked that she agreed with everything Ivy had said about him, and he told her not to let Finn hear that. Liam asked if Finn would be upset that Liam was there, but she said Finn would be totally okay with Liam seeing Kelly.

Liam noted that Steffy had zoned out. She confided that Finn had been reticent, and usually, behavior like that involved Sheila. Steffy was confident that it wasn't Sheila that time.
