She complains about Steffy and Deacon reminds her that she’s not the victim here! He wants to know what happened in the alley that night and suspects that she shot Steffy to silence her. Sheila protests that she didn’t have a choice at the time – either that or she would walk away for the rest of her life. Deacon marvels, “She has two young children, and you agreed to take away her mother…take away both of her parents?!” Nothing will change the fact that she killed her own son. Sheila reveals she didn’t. “That’s the beauty of it, Deacon. My son is alive.” Deacon stares at her as she lets out a maniacal laugh.

A French woman (played by Days alum Ayda Field) stops and asks her if she’s okay or if there’s anything she can do to help. Steffy says no one can help her, but the woman touches her hand and says, “Maybe so.” She walks away and Steffy turns her head as the church bell rings loudly.
At Deacon, he wonders about the story Sheila is telling him about her and Li protecting Finn. He assumes the guy’s mother was protecting him from Sheila, who insists they both take care of him. Deacon finds that extraordinary. Sheila explains what a great relief it was to learn her son was alive. Deacon can’t believe Li brought him back to life and wonders if anyone told Steffy about it. Sheila says he might just be reunited with him right now. Deacon asks where that is with her. Sheila would love to be in her life, but that’s not going to happen – she’s on the run. Deacon warns she shouldn’t have come there – he’s on probation. Sheila tells Deacon that he is all she has. “I need your help.”

Deacon asks if she expects him to give up his freedom for her. Sheila didn’t kill anyone. “Nobody died. Steffy and Finn are fine.” Deacon feels like she got lucky, and that doesn’t mean she gets a free pass. Sheila argues that the weeks of believing she killed her own son were punishment enough. She summarizes how she actually thought she had the chance to be a part of the family and reminds him that this tragedy will bring Steffy and Finn together and make them even better. Deacon asks, “Do you even hear yourself?” He wonders if he expects to drive on like nothing ever happened. Sheila doesn’t know, but she can’t go back behind bars; she will not survive there. Sheila knows she’s asking a lot, but, “I need you.” At that moment, Deputy Chief Baker starts pounding on the door. Sheila urgently whispers “Please” to Deacon, who looks panicked.
