In the abandoned building, Finn urged Sheila to stay conscious. The dirty and harried Sheila managed a smile. Deacon professed love for her and said he'd never given up on her. The men helped Sheila sit with her back to a wall. Finn determined that the dehydrated Sheila needed to go to the hospital. They gave her small sips of water and asked her to say what had happened.

Deacon and Finn attempted to remove the chain binding Sheila to the steel beam on the wall. It wouldn't budge. "Lord, I could use a little help here," Deacon said, gazing up. He tried again, and the chain gave way. He looked up, gave thanks, and asked if Sheila was ready to go home.

Examining Sheila, Finn determined that her pupils were slightly dilated, and she was malnourished. He felt lucky she'd survived. Deacon asked if Sugar had done it, and Sheila became agitated. Sheila stammered and shrieked Sugar's name.

Deacon and Finn asked Sheila many questions about what Sugar had done, but Sheila shook her head, indicating they were not right. "No, no...no..." she whined. "Steffy...House..." Sheila cried. "Sug -- Sugar hurt Steffy..." Sheila stuttered. Deacon determined that Sugar had wanted to kill Steffy. Sheila shook her head, sobbing that she was sorry.

Sheila said she'd tried to stop Sugar from hurting Steffy. "I love you all so much, and I just -- I just -- I couldn't stop her! I couldn't stop her!" Sheila cried. Finn told Sheila that Steffy was fine, and Sheila didn't have to worry about her or the kids. Sheila laughed for joy, hearing that Steffy was alive. Sheila thanked God, murmuring that she loved them "so much."

Finn told "Mom" that she'd be okay, and they'd take care of her. He stated that he'd thought he'd lost her, but she was there. Hugging her, he told her that it was okay, and she'd be okay.

In Eric's office, Ridge said his legs had fallen off. Steffy snapped out of her muse. Ridge asked what was going on and why she was so distracted. She said Finn wasn't answering her calls, and she was on edge because of Deacon's professions. Calling Deacon an idiot and Finn a doctor, Ridge assumed Finn was probably busy saving someone at that moment.

Steffy knew that Sheila was gone, but it was like Steffy could still feel Sheila in the air around her. Ridge asserted that Sheila wasn't in the air; she was gone forever. Steffy remarked about Deacon messing with Finn's head, and Ridge suggested that Finn block Deacon. She wished Finn would and griped that Sheila was still interfering in Steffy's marriage. Steffy decided she'd go to Il Giardino and tell Deacon to stop with the theories about Sheila.

At Il Giardino, Ivy hoped she hadn't overstepped, but the bashful Liam said he wouldn't call it that when a beautiful woman took his face into her hands. She decided that he hadn't aged a bit, and he looked better than she'd remembered.

Ivy admitted that she'd been thinking about kissing Liam for a long time, and he joked that doing it over a conference call would have been quite a challenge. "And because you were married," Ivy added. Ivy asked why he thought she'd really extended her layover. Liam said it had been to see Eric. She nodded, adding that she'd wanted to catch up with Liam, too. Though it had been ages back, she still appreciated their times together.

Liam showed off photos of Beth and Kelly. Ivy cooed over them, betting he was the cutest dad, and she thought his pride in his daughters was sweet. Liam said they were all doing well with the co-parenting, and the kids were handling it better than he was. Liam stated that Hope and he had worked hard on their marriage, "only to have it..." He added that Steffy was married with a husband and child and lived in the cliff house.

Ivy loved that place and recalled a New Year's Eve she and Liam had spent there together. She stated that they'd had a lot of fun nights, and he smiled, agreeing. She asked what it had been like for him. He replied that he had ended two major relationships, lost his way, and lost them. Ivy decided that it had been their loss, too. Touching his hand, she hoped he knew that he was an extraordinary man, and many people loved him.

Reminding Liam of how kind he was, Ivy asked how many men would marry a woman to keep her from being deported. Liam replied that it had been illegal. She knew it but said it proved his kindness, and in her mind, he'd had an impact on her life. She remembered when he'd saved her from the Seine. She admitted that things had gotten messy, and there might be things they'd each like to retract. She was sure Hope and Steffy would say the same thing; however, they'd loved him, and any woman would be lucky to have him.

Ivy had often wondered what her life would be like if she hadn't left California. She said that, if she didn't have a flight to catch, there were a million things she was thinking of doing with Liam. Liam's expression perked up, and she said she hadn't meant it to sound "like that." Embarrassed, Liam replied that they'd had "all varieties of fun, so..."

Ivy and Liam discussed how long it had been, and she claimed that they'd practically been kids. She could still see it clearly and hoped he hadn't forgotten. A flashback played of Liam and Ivy on the boat in Amsterdam. She claimed that they'd been young and carefree, and she uttered that she'd always had a piece of him in her heart. Ivy leaned over the table and kissed Liam.

At the entrance to the restaurant, Steffy arrived and observed the kiss. The host asked what she needed. She said she was looking for Deacon but would see him later.

Ivy concluded the date, saying any woman would be lucky to have Liam, including her. Steffy strode up to the table, exclaiming that her cousin had come to town without telling her. Steffy asked if Ivy had arrived just to lay a big one on Liam.
