At home, Steffy and Finn make out before work. She shares that she plans to meet up with Hope about Taylor and Deacon.<\/p>\n

Finn\u2019s not sure that\u2019s a good idea. Steffy understands why Hope wants her dad away from the crazy person, but the consequences can be dire. She has to make sure Hope\u2019s not encouraging Deacon toward her mother. Guess what?
\"Steffy<\/p>\n

In Forrester\u2019s design office, Hope convenes a family meeting with Deke and Deacon, who learns that his kids want to know where things stand with him and Taylor.<\/p>\n

Getting down to brass tacks, Hope and Deke make sure their dad knows he deserves better than Sheila\u2026 something\u2019s not working in his marriage because he knows Taylor is the woman he should be with instead. Laying it on thick, they urge him to admit he loves her.
\"Deke<\/p>\n

Deacon says he doesn\u2019t want to talk about his love life, and his kids jump on the word \u201clove\u201d. He admits it!<\/p>\n

Speaking of Taylor, she\u2019s over at Il Giardino navigating a delay on her pizza order. Sheila corners her and declares that she needs her help with Deacon. Taylor tries to beg off, but the madwoman persists, revealing that Deacon won\u2019t have sex with her. Not awkward at all!
\"Sheila<\/p>\n

Taylor informs Sheila that Deacon\u2019s not her patient anymore. Sheila wants to get in with her, but Tay nixes that idea. Sheila pesters the World-Renowned Psychiatrist\u2122 until she realizes she\u2019s late for her pedicure (does she get a discount for only eight toes?), and leaves Taylor exhaling in relief.<\/p>\n

Right on cue, Deacon appears. He\u2019s thrilled to see Taylor given he can\u2019t stop thinking about her. Taylor\u2019s on edge about Sheila seeing them, but Deacon\u2019s unfazed. He smoulders that he wants to reach over and touch her. Taylor gasps, \u201cWe can\u2019t,\u201d reminding him of Steffy\u2019s ultimatum. \u201cI can\u2019t see you, Deacon.\u201d He points out that she\u2019s at his restaurant.
\"Deacon<\/p>\n

Back at Forrester, Deke and Hope agonize over their father\u2019s love life. Conveniently, given she\u2019s on her way, Deke mentions how pissed she would be if she knew they were pushing Deacon toward Taylor. Hope\u2019s sure she\u2019ll try and bully her into seeing her point of view.<\/p>\n

Launching into a rant on Steffy always telling her what to do, Hope complains that she even made her fire her own brother. Deke assures her he\u2019ll get another fashion job. They recap that their dad deserves to be with Taylor until Steffy walks in and declares that can\u2019t happen.

The Final Scenes<\/p>\n

As Steffy informs Deke and Hope that she got through to her mother, who dumped Deacon, Taylor\u2019s at Il Giardino smiling across the table at the man himself. She awkwardly tells him that Sheila cornered her for help\u2026 with their sex life. Deacon admits he can\u2019t think of anything but Taylor, who agrees\u2026 she can\u2019t think of anything else. They nearly kiss in public, but she puts on the brakes.
\"Deacon<\/p>\n

Deacon declares his love, as does Taylor. He reaches for her necklace and they get thisclose. Egad, the staff could see! This is the definition of a massive risk, folks!
