In the design office, Carter insisted on knowing what had gone on with Luna and Zende, and Zende revealed that they'd slept together. "Well, I thought we did..." Zende murmured and said he wouldn't have done it if he'd understood how Luna cared for R.J. Struggling to understand, Carter asked how it had happened if neither had wanted it.
Later, Carter was trying to make sense of Luna sleeping with Zende but thinking it had been R.J. Zende explained the mint mix-up, and Carter quickly ascertained that the drugs had confused Luna. For a moment, Carter questioned Zende's story but decided that he knew what kind of man Zende was. Zende was mad at himself because of what Luna had gone through and for what R.J. would go through once he knew.
Zende asked Carter not to say anything to anyone. Carter agreed but felt that R.J. deserved to know. Zende revealed that Luna was telling R.J. at that moment, and he hoped R.J. understood.
Carter felt sorry for Luna and couldn't imagine how sorry Poppy was. Zende ranted that Poppy needed to be sorry because Luna hadn't deserved it. Zende said Poppy hadn't meant to do it, but it had been irresponsible and reckless to leave her stash hanging out.
Carter called Zende on the carpet about his recklessness. Zende claimed that if he'd known, he would have taken Luna home or gotten R.J. to do it, but it had never occurred to him that Luna would be on something. Carter yelled that R.J. was Zende's cousin, and that should have been enough for Zende to pump the brakes. Carter apologized for lecturing. Zende said he was worried about Luna's world getting destroyed, and Carter guessed Zende cared about her.
At the beach house, Luna tried to explain the mint mix-up and wished she could do it over. R.J. implored her to say what had happened to her. Luna stated that she'd give anything to have not hurt him, and as much as she hated the thought of it, she'd betrayed him that night.
While trying to explain, Luna worked herself up. Calming her down, R.J. told Luna to start at the beginning. Luna reminded him of how tired she'd been after Eric's wedding. After she'd gone outside to wait for her rideshare, she'd been thirsty and had gone into the guesthouse to drink the water she'd seen from the window. She assumed she'd fallen asleep on the bed. He asked if that was all she remembered.
R.J. became perplexed when she said she remembered him being there, and she'd said she'd been waiting for him. R.J. wondered which guesthouse it had been and who'd been there. Sobbing, Luna admitted that it had been Zende, and she'd spent the night with Zende.
Luna said it shouldn't have happened, but she'd been drugged. R.J. tried to grasp that Luna had slept with his cousin. Luna tried to touch him, but he pulled his hands back.
In Eric's office, Steffy told Finn she didn't care how many toes the body Deacon had seen had had. She insisted that it had been Sheila, and if anyone would know it, it would be Steffy. Steffy added that she hadn't imagined watching Sheila being pronounced dead, and either Deacon was lying about the toes or doing wishful thinking. Steffy had no doubt that it had been Sheila.
Steffy didn't know why Deacon was doing it. Finn tried to calm her down, saying she'd been cleared due to self-defense, and the nightmare could be over. Steffy decided that she needed to confront Deacon and that they'd all be better off once he got it that Sheila was dead.
At Il Giardino, Deacon mulled over the text message Sheila had sent, saying, "Stay away from me, Sugar." Deacon poured himself a drink. He wondered if he could be losing it. He flashed back to the events at the crematorium. "Piggies in a blanket underneath a sheet. Sheila had nine toes, but I saw ten on those feet," he said to himself. He decided he was losing it.
Deacon continued to drink and stare at the recovered text messages on his laptop. He asked why Sheila had gone to Steffy's and who Sugar was.
When Deacon saw Steffy and Finn arrive, he assumed Finn had filled her in. Deacon tried to explain, but Steffy stopped him, saying he needed to hear her. She didn't get why he couldn't let Sheila be dead. Deacon replied that he'd accepted it, "But then -- " Steffy cut him off because she didn't want to hear it. "You're dead wrong. I killed Sheila," she affirmed.
Deacon tried to get Steffy to understand that before the crematory's door had closed, he'd seen ten toes on the body. Finn tried to get Deacon to see that it might be his grief manifesting things. Deacon asked if he was expected to just drop it. Steffy replied that it was exactly what he should do. Steffy asserted that Sheila had gotten what she'd deserved, and Deacon needed to stop spreading lies. Steffy didn't want to talk about Sheila or think about Sheila. Steffy stated that Sheila was out of their lives forever.
