At the hospital, Sheila says she understands Li’s heartache. “None of this should have happened. None of it.” Li turns away from her to talk with Ridge and Thomas about the kids.

Just one more time.” Li fumes, “No. I’m looking after Finn now.”

At the hospital, Sheila tells Li what happened was a terrible accident. Li sneers, “An accident?!? How can you say that?” Sheila stammers that she mean Finn didn’t deserve this. Li retorts, “My son was murdered in cold blood. Shot and left to die in an alley while his wife lay bleeding next to him. Whoever did this is a vicious, evil monster and I will make sure they pay for what they’ve done.” Sheila states, “Of course.” She wonders how such a person could even live with themselves after taking their boy — they both lost a son tonight. Li argues that Finn never accepted Sheila. She adopted him and raised him. “I am his mother.”

In Steffy’s room, Taylor recalls laying next to her until she’d fall asleep when she’d get scared as a child. She whispers Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star as Ridge silently enters and listens.
