Finn sat alone on the sofa at the cliff house, thinking back to how convinced Deacon was that Sugar was the person that Steffy had stabbed. He was so deep in thought that he did not hear Steffy approach and ask him if he wanted breakfast. Finn eventually snapped back to the present and told Steffy that he'd grab a bite to eat later in the day.

Concerned, Steffy sat beside her husband and asked him if he was okay or if he needed to talk about something. "Right now, I have more questions than answers, but hopefully that will change soon," Finn replied. Steffy incorrectly assumed that Finn was talking about one of his patients. Finn did not correct Steffy and instead professed his love and commitment to her. Steffy gave her husband a kiss and told him that she'd see him later that night.

Shortly after Steffy left, Finn received an urgent text from Deacon asking that Finn meet him at Il Giardino.

At Forrester Creations, Ridge and Carter looked over some of the contracts that Ridge had gotten signed on his business trip. The conversation took an awkward turn to Hope for the Future and its future with Thomas not being the line's lead designer. Carter worried that Zende and R.J.'s personal friction would impact the line. Ridge replied that the competition between the two young men was normal. "They're gonna lock horns -- that's what artists do," Ridge said. Carter seemed unsure. Ridge jokingly ordered Carter to leave.

Steffy entered the office and joked that Ridge had only been back a short time and was already kicking people out of the office. After Carter left, Ridge and Steffy talked about Deacon's theory that Sheila was still alive. "He hasn't played with a full deck for a long time, but this is messed up even for him," Ridge grumbled. Steffy worried that if Deacon didn't stop sharing his ridiculous belief about Sheila, it would make it hard for Finn to come to terms with Sheila's death.

In the design studio, Brooke dropped by to talk to Luna. Luna's face showed signs of sadness and fear as she asked if Brooke had heard what had happened. Brooke nodded and walked closer to Luna. "Are you okay?" Brooke asked. Brooke surprised Luna by pulling her into an embrace. Brooke said that she was "very upset" for Luna, R.J., and "this whole situation." Brooke also expressed her shock over Poppy and Zende's actions.

"Just to let you know, woman to woman, this is a safe place," Brooke said softly. Brooke said that she had been "taken advantage of" in her past. Luna quickly spoke up to insist that Zende had not taken advantage of her. Brooke acknowledged that she did not think that Zende would do that, but she noted that Zende had known that Luna was in a serious relationship with R.J. and should have acted differently.

Luna expressed remorse for hurting R.J. Brooke nodded her head understandingly and assured Luna that R.J. still loved her. Luna shared that she'd kept quiet about her night with Zende because she didn't want to hurt R.J. or ruin his relationship with Zende. Brooke said that Luna had nothing to apologize for. Luna said that she regretted turning Eric's evening of love into a "nightmare."

Brooke called Luna a "sweet and kind and honest" person. She told Luna that she believed that R.J. was "trying to be understanding." Brooke stated that what had happened to Luna was "not fair." She praised Luna for having "brightened" their lives and vowed to always be there for Luna. Luna tearfully thanked Brooke.

In his apartment, Deacon phoned Hollis to ask that he oversee things at the restaurant for Deacon. Moments later, a knock sounded on the door. Deacon opened the door and greeted Finn with a weak smile. Deacon believed that Finn had dropped by to help him find Sheila. Finn wasn't quite as full throttle as Deacon, but he admitted that he was slowly starting to agree with Deacon's theory. Still, Finn wasn't sure how they'd ever be able to find Sheila.

Deacon shared that he'd stayed up all night and concocted a plan. He told Finn that Sheila's credit card password was on her tablet. If they looked through her spending history, Deacon was certain that they'd find some sort of lead. As they scanned Sheila's previous purchases, Finn spotted a charge for a convenience store in "kind of a rough neighborhood." Deacon decided that he and Finn needed to go check out the store.

Deacon and Finn approached a young woman sitting in an alley behind the convenience store. She initially rebuffed their questions, but upon learning that they were not cops, she agreed to listen. Deacon showed the woman a photo of Sheila, but the woman said that she didn't recognize Sheila. After the woman went back inside, a voice called out to Deacon and Finn. "Let me see your friend," a man said in between scratching off an instant win lottery ticket.

Finn and Deacon approached the homeless man, whose name was Tom, and asked him if he hung out in that area a lot. "Sure, when I'm not vacationing in Cabo or cruising the Mediterranean in my yacht," he replied. Tom said that he'd be happy to look at Deacon's photo -- for a price. Deacon forked over some cash. Tom said that while he was down on his luck, he never forgot a face. Tom's reaction led Deacon to believe that he recognized Sheila.

"When I saw her, she walked into that building right over there," Tom said, pointing behind him. Deacon was surprised that Sheila hadn't been driving. Tom said that shortly after the woman had entered the building, "that's when the screaming started." Tom explained that he hadn't done anything when he'd heard the screaming because of the dangers of living on the street. Finn suggested that he and Deacon check out the building.

In an undisclosed dark and trash-strewn location, a woman's hand peeked out from under a blanket.
