Deke Sharpe’s Reconnection

In the design office, Deke talks to Hope about their father. The man doesn’t want Deacon with Sheila. As Deke rants, Hope leaves to check on some work stuff.

While she’s gone, Deke slips his portfolio into the stack of designer applications. Deke slips out and joins Hope and Deacon.

The children ask how his father is doing. The man says he’s seeing Taylor professionally. He gushes about how amazing the psychologist is.

Hope needs to get back to work. Deacon says Deke is a great designer! Deke says he wants to make his own way. Hope is really proud of him.

Hope leaves, so Deacon questions Deke about his boyfriend. The young man would rather talk about Sheila. Deacon thinks he should use nepotism to his advantage at FC. Deke wants to prove himself. They debate about Sheila again.

Hope Logan Impressed

In the CEO office, Carter, Brooke, and Ridge are scanning portfolios. Nothing is impressing them. Hope enters and she quickly notices Deke’s portfolio. She loves it! It’s like this designer knows her! Who is the mystery designer, Hope wonders?

Sheila Carter Sharpe vs Taylor Hayes

At Taylor’s office, Sheila comes in. The waitress admits it hurts that Deacon will talk to Taylor, but not his own wife. She’lll support this if it saves her marriage.

They discuss Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). Sheila explains she thought Luna could change. Taylor says she harbored a dangerous criminal!

Sheila turns the conversation back to Deacon. Can Taylor truly be impartial?  Then, Sheila warns Taylor that she won’t let anything or anyone come between her and Deacon.
