Thursday’s Early B&B recap: Ridge Defends Steffy and Shocked Finn Tells His Wife That Sheila’s Blood is On Their Hands
At the cliffhouse, Steffy tells Finn she’s so sorry.
“I just can’t believe my mother is dead and my wife killed her.” Steffy didn’t mean to.
She had to defend herself. If she hadn’t, she’d be dead.
Finn stares at his bloodied hand and says, “Now my birth mother’s blood is on my hand.
And yours, Steffy.” He knows the horrible things that Sheila’s done to her family and them.
It’s inexcusable but it doesn’t change that she’s his birth mother. “She was my birth mother,” he says.
Someone he lost sleep over as a kid, trying to figure out what parts of her he got, like his drive or smile.
It meant a lot getting to know her and to hear his biology, even after knowing who she was.
“Now, I’ll never see her again because you killed her.”
Steffy knows this is hard for him but she broke in there and had a crazy look in her eye.
The same one she had when she shot them in the alley.
What else was she supposed to do?
He gets it. It doesn’t change that his mom died in his own home at the hands of his wife.
Sirens are heard and Finn says he can’t do this with the police.
He dashes out the patio door and runs, leaving Steffy agape.
At Forrester Creations, Brooke and Hope are rocked that Steffy killed Sheila when Thomas and Ridge tell them. Carter asks how Steffy is.
He heard that the two had a confrontation.
Ridge says it’s par for the course where Sheila is involved.
Hope’s quiet and says she’s in shock. “She took her husband’s birth mother’s life.”
She’s sure Steffy had to defend herself. It was terrifying for her.
Ridge says yes, the same woman who shot her and left her for dead. Brooke comments that “the lunatic” shot her own son.
Hope’s trying to see it from Finn’s perspective. He’ll have to reconcile that his own wife killed his mom.
Ridge says he’s having a hard time buying Finn’s deep connection with Sheila.
Hope understands but she’s still his “birth mother.” Ridge knows but Li raised him.
She’s the real mother to him. Hope is surprised that he can’t see that Finn’s wife killed his birth mother.
Thomas thinks Finn has had time to process now and can come to a place to support her how he’s supposed to.
Ridge worries he’s too broken up not to and she needs him. The police will return.
Ridge realizes he needs to go over there.
Carter offers to come but Ridge refuses. He runs off.
She understands it since she cares about Deacon.
She knows Deacon will be hit hard when he hears the news.
Brooke says he’ll be free. Sheila was a monster.
Carter doesn’t know how he did it but says Deacon saw something in her.
Thomas says he won’t have to keep his distance from Hope or the kids. Hope wants to be there for him.
She takes off to be with him, to tell him the news.
Thomas can’t imagine what his sister is feeling right now.

It’s why he left. He’s shaken up. Hope’s so sorry.
He doesn’t think he should be this upset, after what she did to him, shooting him, and his wife and holding him hostage.
He should hate her. Why doesn’t he? He doesn’t think he loved her.
