Sheila and Deacon have finally reached the moment
of their wedding, with Deacon showing a resolve unlike
before. No longer solely driven by passion, Deacon is
committed to Sheila after realizing his deep love for her,
especially following her recent near-death experience.
However, their joy is shattered when the police arrive at their wedding, arresting Sheila due to complaints about her past crimes. This betrayal comes as a shock, disrupting their nuptials and leaving Sheila bewildered in her wedding gown as she is escorted away. Despite her hopes for acceptance and peace, it’s revealed that Ridge orchestrated Sheila’s arrest, driven by his vendetta against her. Deacon, furious at Ridge’s interference in their lives, is determined to confront him, but their altercation is halted by Finn, who stands in solidarity with Sheila. Finn’s intervention highlights the unity against Ridge’s actions, rendering his efforts to imprison Sheila ultimately futile.
