Steffy checks her home security camera and discovers Deacon and Taylor having sex B&B Spoilers

At the cliff house, Taylor thinks about Deacon. Across town at Il Giardino, he thinks about her too. Steffy and Finn interrupt Taylor to say goodbye.

They’re heading out to pick up the kids for their camping trip. Steffy hopes her mom won’t be too lonely without them. She’s sure to mention how proud she is of her mom for getting over Deacon, before exiting.

At the restaurant, Sheila approaches Deacon and asks if he’ll change his plans for tonight so they can go to bed. He’s sorry, but he made plans with Hope.

Sheila pressures him to reschedule with his daughter, but he refuses. Sheila relents and gushes about him being an incredible father. She’s sure it’s partly because of Taylor Hayes.

At Brooke’s place, Hope and Liam make out on her mother’s sofa and marvel about having the whole place to themselves (what happened to the cabin?!). He senses she’s got something on her mind, and she admits she’s worrying about her dad.

Back at the restaurant, Sheila plants a kiss on Deacon and walks off. Deacon picks up the phone and calls Hope to tell her that he told Sheila they had dinner plans. She realizes he doesn’t want her to blow his cover and guesses he’s seeing Taylor. Hope’s happy to cover and tells him to be safe and have fun.

Liam rejoins Hope with a snack tray, and they joke about staying there forever. Talk quickly circles back to Deacon’s situation with Sheila. Hope muses that her father might surprise her and she won’t have to worry anymore. She’s sure it’s only a matter of time before her dad leaves Sheila.

At Il Giardino, Sheila spots Li and calls her over. Finn’s adoptive mother explains she ordered pizza to share with Steffy, Finn and the kids, but they’re going camping. Sheila realizes Taylor will be home alone.

As their conversation continues, Sheila laments Finn not wanting anything to do with her… thank God she has Deacon. Li learns he’s having dinner with Hope, and leaves with toe cookies after agreeing to have lunch with Sheila next week. An employee tells Sheila they have extra flowers and she decides to pay Taylor a visit.

At the cliff house, Taylor finally ushers Steffy and Finn out the door. She’s alone! Before long, Deacon lets himself in the back patio door and they embrace and start making out.

Deacon tells Taylor he’s missed her and that he parked down the road so no one would know he’s there. She learns that he told Sheila he’s with Hope and made sure she can’t track him on his phone.

The Final Scenes

Falling onto the sofa, Taylor revels in being with Deacon even if she’s breaking a promise to her daughter. Deacon tells her she’s made him understand what it feels like to truly be loved. “We have tonight. Just you and me. The two of us.” Oh, we think someone else might be crashing the party!

Indeed, back at the restaurant, Sheila fondles her flowers and smiles, “I’m on my way, Taylor!”

At the cliff house, Taylor and Deacon kiss passionately in the dark.
