As Sheila Goes to Extremes to Win Steffy’s Forgiveness, Electra… Oh, My! She Doesn’t Get Her Way For Once!

As the episode begins, Sheila is still pleading her case to Steffy in Finn’s office doorway. Li’s changed her opinion of the psycho, so why can’t Steffy? At Logan, although we all know “Forresters and Spencers don’t mix,” Katie suggests that Will try to get Electra back. And at Forrester, Dylan insists to Jessica that her feelings for Will are more than a crush, she’s in lurve. Just as Dylan is saying that she won’t lie to Electra if the topic of Will were to come up… Well, what a coincidence! In comes Electra.

Katie Plays Match-Remaker

At Logan, Will laments that he’s given the Forresters ample reason to think that he isn’t right for Electra. But Katie urges him not to give up on love. “Your violent behavior is concerning,” she says. “But you’re a good man.”

 Will says that he’d walk away from Electra if he didn’t believe that she still loves him. In that case, he shouldn’t let anything come between them, Mom tells him. (Is that actually good advice? Borderline obsessive?)

Eventually tiring of “Willectra” talk, Will says that he wishes he could make things right between Katie and her sisters. But “I don’t think our relationship will ever be the same,” she sighs.

Dylan Calls Electra On Her BS

At Forrester, Jessica exits stage left, wishing Dylan good luck as she goes. That leaves “besties” Dylan and Electra to dance around the elephant in the room. Electra practically sobs, she’s missing her ex so much. But she still has her wits about her enough to manipulate the situation.

Electra acknowledges Dylan’s feelings for Will — then attempts to block the would-be couple from happening. “Please respect our space… our home,” Electra says. “Please don’t cross the line with Will.” Yes, even though she dumped him and said they would never get back together.

Dylan points out the ridiculousness of Electra declaring Will off limits if she’s never going to reunite with him. “Plenty of other women are going to go after Will,” Dylan notes, “so why should I sit on the sidelines?” Go, Dylan!

Sheila Wants a Christmas (in July) Miracle

In Finn’s office, Sheila likens being kept from Finn to Steffy being kept from her kids. (Sure, Jan.) Further, Sheila argues that no one’s perfect, not even St. Taylor. What can she do to prove that she’s no longer a threat to Steffy and her family? “There must be some kind of bargaining place where we can meet.”

Sheila swears she’d take a bullet for Finn or Hayes — the way she did for Steffy when Luna attacked. (Never mind the fact that Sheila shot Steffy herself in cold blood and left her to die.) Sheila goes on to point out that she took Taylor stealing her husband on the chin. But “I need support… I need my son.”

As the episode nears its conclusion, Sheila offers up the idea of a visitation schedule, especially for around the holidays. It drives her crazy that she’s never gotten to see Hayes tear into a Christmas present. (Is she this tortured about never having seen granddaughter Lucy unwrap a gift?)

Sheila Takes a Knee

In the episode’s final moments, Steffy points out that Sheila dressed up as a nurse and threatened Taylor with a pizza cutter. At least “it wasn’t a machete,” Sheila says before getting down on her knees and literally begging for her daughter-in-law’s forgiveness. Steffy gasps a mortified “Oh God!”

At Logan, Will harps on the fact that Electra said she’d never come back to him. And at Forrester, that’s the hot topic, too. Electra is shocked, summing up Dylan’s attitude as “If I can’t be with Will, you should?” Uh, yeah, and why not?

Dylan Makes Her Intentions Known

Grasping at straws, Electra suggests that Dylan wouldn’t “wanna be a rebound, right?” She wouldn’t want to be the girl who went after her BFF’s ex, right? How come? It “wouldn’t be propa?” Dylan asks, doing a spot-on Ivy impression.

Finally, Electra flat-out asks Dylan not to go after Will. “I’m not gonna lie to you,” Dylan replies. “There’s something very natural between us… We click, and frankly, I think that you and R.J. click.”

Electra can’t believe her ears. “So you want Will all to yourself?!?” she exclaims, adding that Dylan has had a “fixation” with Will since she first moved into the beach house. Dylan wouldn’t call it that, she’d call it love. At that, Electra’s head virtually explodes. She can’t stand being told the truth. “Oh my God,” she yells, “you bitch!”
