At Deacon’s apartment, Hope declares that her dad clearly has plans, so she’ll be on her way. Deacon apologizes; it’s just that tonight is not a good night. Hope tells “Lina” it was nice meeting her and goes. Deacon locks the door behind her and turns on Sheila. “What the hell were you thinking?!? If you want to stick around here, you stay away from my kid!”

At Forrester, Zende takes his designs and leaves and Quinn coos to Carter that as much as she loves working with the designer, she couldn’t wait for him to leave so she could do this — Quinn leans in for a passionate kiss.

Hope arrives at Brooke’s place and Liam asks if she found her dad. She says she did. Liam wonders if he was acting squirrely or weird. Hope explains she’d been wondering why she hadn’t heard from her dad much and she now knows the reason why. “He has a new reason in his life.” The group hears that she’s “nice” and Brooke’s surprised Deacon didn’t say anything. Hope explains her father seemed nervous. Ridge picks up on this. Brooke asks who she is, and Hope says, “Lina.” She seemed familiar and Hope had the strangest sense she’d met her before.

At Deacon’s place, Sheila tells him he doesn’t need to freak out. He fumes, “Hope saw you!” Sheila blames him and he counters that he didn’t know she was coming. Sheila accuses him of overreacting. “Do you know who you’re dealing with?” She insists, “I would not have hurt your daughter.” Deacon sneers, “Yeah, like you didn’t hurt your own kid?” Sheila tells him he’s just being mean. Deacon orders her to pack up her stuff and get out of there — the whole roommate thing is just too dangerous!

Sheila tells Deacon to get a grip, but he rants, “What if Hope had recognized you?” Sheila insists she had everything under control. “What you’ve got going on — this panicky thing — it doesn’t do it for me.”

After their dinner, Quinn and Carter canoodle and kiss some more. Quinn asks for a little more wine and talks about how his thoughtfulness. He’s always thinking of her.

Her openness is what attracted him to her in the first place. “You see more deeply than anyone I’ve ever met.” He sees his life and what he wants when he looks at her. “When I look in your eyes, I see a whole future.” Quinn teases him about being chiselled to perfection and they kiss again.

At Brooke’s place, Hope doesn’t know why her dad didn’t tell her about his girlfriend. Ridge grunts, “So he’s keeping it secret.” He adds, “What kind of a crazy woman would want to be with Deacon?” Brooke’s jaw drops and she flashes a look at Hope to see her reaction.
