Next scene: Li is at her home with Jack.

Li: Any news from Finn?

Jack: Why don't you call him yourself?

Li: He doesn't answer my call.

Jack: Even today?

Li: He just wrote me a message that he has to think things over. 

Jack: So give him time.

Li: It's a real torture for me.

Jack: Honey, I love you, but you have to admit that hat you did was evil.

Li: Evil? Because I think that a woman that slept with her father in law and needed a paternity test? 

Jack: It's wonderful that you are perfect, but not everyone is, ok? She has a new chance at life and you want to tear the girl down...

Li: Why does it have to a chance with my son. He deserves more than used goods. 

Jack: You should be ashamed of yourself for saying something so disgusting.

Li: Can't you see that Finn had an amazing woman in his life? Someone that Steffy can never be! A loyal, moral, kind, beautiful soul... And you know... Now also a Forrester. A real one.

Jack: Brittany calls you each day and you have so much fun gossiping, but... Steffy is the woman Finn choose. 

Jack leaves. 

Li types "Forrester scandals/ Steffy Forrester" in the browser...

Li: I read that already... Yep, know about that... What!?

Li smiles in an evil way.
