At the cliff house, Steffy orders Sheila to stay put, “If you think you’re walking out of here, think again.” Sheila knows she made a mistake showing up uninvited but wonders why she’s telling her not to go. Steffy refuses to allow her to think she can show up whenever she wants, she’s not having it! Sheila understands but she misses Finn and just wants to hold her grandson. Whether Steffy likes it or not, they’ll always be connected. “You can go,” Steffy orders. Sheila apologizes then replies, “Don’t even think about me, Steffy, please don’t even think about me at all.”

After Sheila leaves, Taylor apologizes — she didn’t know Sheila would show up. Steffy appears disturbed. Ridge returns from the guesthouse, learns Sheila was there and asks, “What did she want?” They assure him Sheila now knows she’s not welcome there. As Ridge rants to Taylor about Sheila, they suddenly notice Steffy’s preoccupied. Steffy begins to have memory flashes and says, “Something’s very wrong.” She explains her feeling of dread and how she can see herself in the alley at Il Giardino — and she can see Finn!

Ridge and Taylor urge Steffy to breathe. She can picture the alley, a dumpster… “I can see Finn,” Steffy sighs. She sees a back door then Finn coming toward her. They didn’t come there together, she went there alone. Steffy says she went there to see someone — to confront them. “I was angry… Someone did something… that’s why I went there. I tried to stop them, I followed them to the alley, I grabbed them.” She has a memory of telling Sheila that she’s never going to see Finn and Hayes again. “Oh my God,” Steffy cries. “You know who did this, you know who did this to you and Finn?” Ridge asks. Steffy gasps in shock.

She talks around the question and reminds Deacon that he himself said it was a bad idea for her to go over there. Sheila recalls wanting to be a mother to Finn, and how Steffy refused her, and now he’s gone. “I’m never going to see my son again,” Sheila says. “That’s all Steffy’s fault.” Deacon reminds Sheila Steffy is a victim too, none of this is her fault. Does she think Steffy could have saved Finn? Sheila tells him to ignore her and says she can’t be in L.A. anymore. She came because of Finn and now he’s gone. Steffy won’t let her have anything to do with Hayes so there’s nothing left for her there. “I have to go.”
