Steffy and Finn talk about how much people have shown they care about her. What she really needs is him, “This. Real alone time.” When she was locked in the cage, she thought about him and the kids.

At Forrester, Katie says Finn was amazing, the way he tracked Steffy down. Brooke says she and Ridge could see how anxious he was. Donna observes that his gut told him something was wrong.

She’s with the man she’s meant to be with for the rest of her life.

At the Forrester mansion, Taylor and Ridge think they get along pretty well for exes. Taylor muses, “A lot of good memories. Painful ones too.” They remember the heartbreak of losing Phoebe. Taylor tears up remembering their daughter’s beautiful voice and her light. Ridge holds onto those moments, every one of them. Sometimes her face goes out of focus, but then something will bring it back. He gets that when he’s around Kelly. Taylor says Steffy and Thomas are amazing parents. “I’m so grateful for everything we have.” Ridge hopes Taylor will stick around for a while now that she’s home.

After sex, Finn tells Steffy, “You’re so beautiful.” She coos, “That’s how you make me feel.” Finn tells her she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. She’s the reason for everything he does. “I’m yours, OK? You never have to question that.” Steffy nods and smiles, “Your faith kept me alive. It really did. I’m here because of you. You brought me home. I love you… so much.” Finn whispers, “I love you too.” They kiss and cuddle.
At Forrester, Katie tells Brooke what she and Ridge have is so special. They discuss how they’ve overcome one obstacle more than once.

She has complete faith in her love with Ridge.
At the Forrester mansion, Ridge asks Taylor about putting down roots in Los Angeles. Steffy and the kids want her there. “I want you here.” Taylor smiles, “I know one person who doesn’t.” Ridge tells her Brooke knows how important she is to his family. Taylor is the glue that holds it together. Taylor has a question. She wants to know why he and Brooke haven’t remarried. Ridge says it’s come up, it’s just not something they’ve discussed. They’ve done it before. Taylor says, “So, it’s not necessary?” Ridge feels like he should be on a couch. Taylor’s not trying to analyze him. They’ve shared so much and helped shape each other. She won’t hide her feelings. “I always thought that we’d grow old together. You know how I feel about you, Ridge. How I’ll always feel. You’re the love of my life. You always will be.”
