Steffy was annoyed the whole time, but Finn was happy to see his mother and to let her hold his son Hayes Finnegan.

Shot by his biological mother, Sheila

After showing up at Taylor's office unannounced a couple of times Sheila also shows up at Finn's office. Finn is annoyed and explains to her that she needs to give him heads up before coming to see him and asks her what would happen if Steffy would be there and saw her. Sheila explains that she wanted to bring him cookies because she couldn't do this stuff for him when he was a child. She goes on and says that she hopes that Taylor will convince Steffy to give her a chance and that there is one person that wants to make sure that she won't be able to have a relationship with him and Hayes.

Finn after Sheila shot him

Steffy mourning after Finn closed his eyes

Finn reached out to Sheila and gave her a speech about second chances. He made it clear that he isn't ready to fully open himself to her, but there was a chance. Sheila was overjoyed. Everything changed when Steffy overheard Thomas and Sheila's conversation and found out what Finn's biological mother did to her step mom. Steffy told Finn about it and went to confront Sheila. Finn was worried when Steffy didn't reply to his texts and went to il Giardino where he knew Steffy was seeing his mother. Finn appeared right when Sheila was getting ready to kill Steffy, but instead she accidentally shot Finn. At first he lost consciousness, but shortly after regained it and managed to tell Steffy that he loves her and also mentioned Hayes. When he closed his eyes Steffy started screaming in agony and told Sheila that she will go to prison for the rest of her life, but Sheila pointed the gun at Steffy and forbid her from calling the police. In the end Sheila decided to shoot Steffy also and she left her and Finn in the alley where Deacon Sharpe found them and he called 911. After medical help arrived they took Steffy to the hospital and Finn was declared "dead".

Li keeping Finn alive in secret

When Steffy woke up at the hospital she initially didn't remember Finn and Hayes. She believed that she is still Liam Spencer's wife. Once her family told her about Finn and Hayes and she remembered she heard that Finn is "dead". Steffy grieved and tried to remember who shot her and Finn. When Steffy's memory about the shooting came back, she confronted Sheila at her home with police listening in secret. After Sheila confessed to accidentally "killing" Finn and shooting Steffy, she was taken to jail. Li was invited to Steffy's home and learned that it was Sheila who shot her son. Steffy asked Li about making a memorial ceremony, but she said that she isn't ready to think of her son as "dead" and said that she will take care of everything. Steffy thought that Li is acting weird and expressed sadness that Finn was cremated before she could even see his body. What Steffy didn't know was that Li was secretly keeping Finn hidden from everyone and that he is in a coma and not really dead. After a short time Finn started moving his pupils and fingers which meant that he started to regain his consciousness which gave Li a lot of hope. Meanwhile his wife Steffy, still unaware of his being alive travelled to Europe with their son Hayes and her daughter Kelly to mourn his death away from the painful memories.

Sheila escaped from jail

Li Finnegan was horrified when Sheila Carter appeared on her doorstep demanding to know where Finn is buried. When Sheila heard the medical equipment she stormed into the room pushing Li away. Sheila was shocked when she saw an unconscious Finn. Li and Sheila started arguing and meanwhile Finn woke up. Li rushed to her son's side and Sheila banged her on the head and replaced her by Finn's side. Shortly after Finn was unconscious again and when Li regained her consciousness after being hit by Sheila she started pretending that she realizes how much she loves Finn and that she needs her help. Soon Finn was again conscious for a moment and called out Steffy's name. Li convinced Sheila that she won't go to the police because she herself would go to jail if they would find out that she is keeping Finn at home after signing his death certificate. Sheila believed Li and allowed her to walk out the door when Li promised that she only goes to pick medicine for Finn especially because when Ridge called Li to inform her that Sheila escaped she didn't tell him anything. When Li went into the hallway she was already calling the police which Sheila overheard and attacked Li. At first Li tried to pretend, but soon she called Sheila out for shooting Finn and then the crazy Carter woman started choking her. Li was successful in releasing herself from Sheila's hands and she gave her a beating which gave her time to reach the car. In the car Li said that Sheila will go to jail even if she has to go there too. Sheila started driving after her and bumped into Li so hard that her car started burning. Li fell into the water and her car sank. She presumably died and Sheila was content to see it however it became a problem as Sheila was only a nurse and not a doctor and she didn't really know how to take care of a patient like Finn.

Finn waking up from his coma

Sheila brought her friend and accomplice Mike Guthrie to Li's apartment where he saw Finn. Mike was shocked when he found out that Sheila's son is alive and even more shocked when he heard that Sheila caused Li's death. At one point Finn flat lined and Sheila panicked. When heart massage didn't help Mike told Sheila to call 911, but instead she used electric shock and Finn's pulse came back. Sheila asked Mike to leave so Finn won't see him and at one point he woke up and saw Sheila. Soon Finn remembered that Sheila shot him. He was angry at her for hurting him and his wife and told her that he hates her and she's just some crazy person. Sheila tried to calm him down and when Finn screamed for help she sedated him. When he woke up he continued to tell her that he needs to call his wife, but Sheila was denying him this. Finn tried to convince Mike, Sheila's accomplice, to help him. The worst part started when Finn learned from Sheila that his adoptive mother Li Finnegan is dead because Sheila was chasing her with her car to stop her from going to the police. Finn lost it and verbally and physically attacked Sheila and she sedated him again.

Reunited with Steffy

Steffy can't believe that she really sees Finn

Happily reunited family. Steffy, Kelly, Finn and Hayes.

Sheila finally allowed to let Finn go when she realized that keeping him hostage has no sense. When Finn was leaving the apartment Bill Spencer Jr. appeared out of nowhere and few second later Li Finnegan showed up as well. Finn was emotional when he realized that his mother didn't really die. The two embraces and cried while Sheila was horrified to see Li alive and kept saying that she saw Li die. When Finn got informed that Sheila shot Steffy after shooting him he tried to attack her, but was stopped by Li and Bill. Bill offered to take Finn to Steffy with his private jet and Li stayed with previously tied Sheila. The two women were waiting for the police when Sheila's accomplice Mike Guthrie showed up and freed Sheila after hitting Li in the head. When Li woke up Sheila was already gone. Li was furious with Mike and the police showed up and took Mike in. Finn tried to call Steffy from Bill's private jet, but her phone was turned off so he and Bill called Steffy's parents Taylor Hayes and Ridge Forrester who already were in Monte Carlo and trying to find their daughter as well. The two were ecstatic when they found out that he is alive. When Finn landed in Monaco he went straight to them where he was also reunited with his son Hayes Finnegan and step daughter Kelly Spencer. Finn, Taylor and Ridge went to look for Steffy. Finn went one way and Taylor and Ridge another way. For some time Finn had no luck, but when he heard church bells he walked closer and saw Steffy going out of the church. He called her name and she was shocked and in disbelief. The two ran to each others arms. After their beautiful reunion they spent quality time with the children and Steffy's parents. Finn, Steffy, Taylor, Ridge and the children headed back to Los Angeles. Finn was happy to be back at home and he revealed to Steffy that he often dreamt about being back in their home when he was away.

Sheila faking her death

The police informed Finn and the Forrester's that Sheila Carter was mauled by a bear and died. Finn was shocked to see photos of Sheila's hair and blood on the "death scene" and to make things worse the detective showed Finn and the others Sheila's middle toe. DNA confirmed that the toe, hair and blood all belonged to Finn's biological mother. Finn expressed that he is saddened that his birth mother had to die in such a way, but at the same time he realized that Sheila won't be able to hurt them anymore. He had no idea that Sheila faked her death and cut her own toe to fool the police and that were previously looking for her. When Finn was at il giardino Sheila saw him and was even more determinate to have a relationship with him. Deacon Sharpe, who was the one hiding Sheila at his place, tried to discourage her from pursuing a relationship with Finn and her grandson Hayes, but of course she didn't listen. Sheila was stalking Finn at his Malibu home and lured through the windows. When she saw that Hayes was alone in the living room she silently walked into Steffy and Finn's home an held her grandson for a bit. When Finn came back to the living room he had no idea that his birth mother was there just a minute ago. Soon Finn was busy supporting his wife on her mission to reunite her parents. One day Finn's father in law Ridge Forrester found out that his wife Brooke Logan called CPS on his son Thomas Forrester which pushed him to annul his marriage and re-commit to Steffy's mom. Finn was happy for his in laws and not long after that he attended their wedding however during the ceremony Steffy said that her brother called CPS on himself and framed Brooke. Steffy found out from her nephew Douglas Forrester before the ceremony. Ridge figured out that his bride to be also found out before the ceremony, but didn't plan to tell him before they become husband and wife to not spoil their wedding day. When Ridge left to tell his ex wife the truth Finn called out his mother in law for trying to marry Ridge without telling him the truth first. Taylor said that she did it because she really believed that Ridge wanted to marry her either way. Both Ridge and Taylor left town to think things through and Finn started re-thinking the case of his biological mother Sheila. He asked Alex Sanchez to bring him his mothers toe. Finn shared with Steffy that he strongly believes that his mother faked her death and when he checked the cuts on Sheila's toe under the microscope he found out that there are no bites which meant that Sheila cut her own toe. Steffy was horrified and Finn said that he wants his mother to go to jail for what she has done to them. The married couple went to see Deacon Sharpe and after thanking him for saving their lives they told him that they are sure that Sheila is alive. Deacon was pretending to be shocked. Finn and Steffy flat out asked him if Sheila didn't reach out to him, but he said that he lied again. Finn and his wife told everyone about their suspicions regarding Sheila and they were all horrified at the possibility that Sheila is alive and she went so far to cut her own toe. After that Finn and Steffy were eating dinner at il giardino and when Steffy was in the bathroom she noticed Sheila that was on her way to leave Deacon's place out of fear that someone might find her there. At first Steffy had no clue who the woman was, but she noticed her toe and got a panic attack. Sheila used a moment of Steffy's vulnerability and ran off. Steffy informed Finn and Deacon that she just saw Sheila. Deacon went to see the recording from the cam footage and called Sheila with information. When Sheila heard that Finn and Steffy informed the police and that the recording shows her in her disguise she asked Deacon to delete the recording. Sharpe decided to help Sheila and he did what she asked for. He informed Finn, Steffy and the police that there was nothing on the recording. Finnegan assured his wife that he will do everything to protect the people he loves and that Sheila won't be free much longer. Finn and Steffy were shocked when Bill Spencer Jr. announced that he is in a relationship with Sheila and if they will testify against her, he will throw Finn's mother in law to jail. It was the moment Finn learned that years ago Taylor Hayes shot Bill in the back and that his wife had sex with him during her marriage to Liam. Finn was obviously surprised, but he showed a lot of understanding and together with Steffy they decided to protect Taylor. Sheila was free and the charges were dropped. When Taylor heard about it she proposed to turn herself in, but Steffy didn't allow her to do it. After some time it has been revealed that Bill was only playing Sheila. His house was bugged by the FBI and when Bill finally got a murder confession out of her Sheila has been caught, but she suffered a heart attack and almost died. Finn and Li saw her at the hospital and Li tried to convince her son to not save his biological mother however he decided to be a true doctor and not let Sheila die. Steffy was proud of her husband, but Li was unhappy with Finn's decision.

Finn's feelings for Sheila and problems with Liam

Finn found out that Liam saw his wife kissing Thomas Forrester in Rome. He got worried that now that Hope and Liam's marriage is falling apart he will try to sniff around Steffy again. Steffy tried to assure Finn that everything is okay, but she was hiding that Liam kissed her in Rome and later in LA. Liam also made it clear that he wants to move on with Steffy, but she rejected him. Sheila requested to see Finn. Initially he was cold towards her, but when she forced a hug suddenly tears begun to swell up into his eyes and he hugged her back. Finn admitted that when she held him he felt something that he missed his whole life. Not long after Finn and Steffy went to court for Sheila's sentencing. They were absolutely sure that Sheila will spend her life in jail. When Finn saw that Liam showed up in the court he was annoyed and reminded Liam that it's a family matter. Liam assured that he is there because the case also matters to him as he is Kelly's father and he cared for the safety of his child. Everyone was shocked when the judge said that the evidence against Sheila Carter wasn't legal and she's free to go. At the corridor Sheila and Finn saw each other and shared another hug. Liam spotted it and recorded the hug. When Liam showed it to Steffy she was shocked, but she decided to trust her husband and didn't tell Finn that she knows anything about it. Liam tried to put doubt into Steffy and continued to nag her about Finn not being trustworthy around their daughter Kelly. At the time Finn and Kelly were at the beach and Sheila was looking at them from a far. Finn got a phone call from work and he asked Kelly to stay in one place. When he turned around Kelly decided to go into the ocean and she started drowning. Sheila saw it and she ran to rescue her. Finn was shocked when he saw his bio mom taking Kelly out of the water. Kelly learned that Sheila is Finn's mother. Finn thanked Sheila for saving Kelly's life.

Sheila’s supposed stabbing death as a result of Steffy’s self defense

After Steffy’s daughter Kelly takes a selfie with her smartwatch and sends it to Steffy, Steffy overreacts seeing Sheila in the background of the photo and frantically calls Lucy who is babysitting. Lucy informs Steffy that Sheila came up and physically spoke to Kelly and asked her if she remembered her. Steffy proceeded to Sheila’s home to confront her about the incident. Sheila defends herself by insisting she had no control over Steffy’s daughter being brought by Lucy to Il Giardino where Sheila works. The confrontation escalates and Sheila shoves Steffy to which Steffy responds by punching Sheila. The confrontation is soon broken up by Finn and Deacon. Finn and Steffy leave and Deacon tries to calm Sheila. Deacon, after seemingly convincing Sheila not to react to the situation; leaves to return to the restaurant. Sheila insists to him that she won’t go after Steffy. However, Sheila throws over the dining table and leaves anyway. She is later seen standing outside of Steffy and Finn’s residence while Steffy is home alone and Finn is away at the office. Sheila utters to herself “Tonight you die.” in reference to Steffy with intent to kill her. A brewing storm knocks the power out at Steffy’s residence and she calls Finn to ask him to come home. Sheila then enters the residence while Steffy is looking for candles in the dark. Steffy sees a shadow lurking on the wall in the moonlight. She turns around and is confronted by a veiled and hooded Sheila. She assumes it’s Sheila and tells her to leave while backing away, falling over the sofa. Steffy quickly then runs to the kitchen and grabs a knife she was using prior to prepare food. Sheila continues to approach Steffy despite her threats of defending herself with the knife and lunges towards her; to which Steffy proceeds to stab Sheila. Steffy then calls the police and Sheila is soon after pronounced dead. Finn returns as the police are leaving to find Steffy alone and distraught. She informs Finn that Sheila is dead and that it was her who killed her in self defense. Finn begins having a hard time coping with Sheila’s death, taking offense when Ridge refers to Sheila as an animal. Stating “That animal was my Mother.” Finn kneels down and places his hand in Sheila’s blood. He says Sheila’s “blood is on my hand, and on yours Steffy.” Deacon set up a memorial service for Sheila and only Finn, Hope and himself showed up for. She was being cremated after the service when the sheet fell off of her feet as she plunged in the fire and Deacon saw that she had 10 toes instead of 9.

Sheila found chained alive by Sugar in an abandoned building

Not being able to let go of seeing 10 toes on the body cremated in the mortuary, Deacon sets out to find clues as to Sheila’s potential whereabouts. To the dismay of Steffy, Hope and others; Deacon informs Finn about the situation and requests help from him in locating Shiela. After being informed of Sugar’s plastic surgery by Lauren Fenmore from Genoa City (Y&R) in which Sheila had conned Sugar into getting plastic surgery south of the border to look identical to Sheila in order to frame Sugar; Deacon proceeds to inform Finn that his Mother is alive and that he wasn’t just seeing things. Convinced that Lauren stood nothing to gain from fabricating this information since she also despises Sheila, Finn agrees to assist Deacon in solving the mystery of her potential whereabouts. After looking through Sheila’s Credit Card history, Deacon notices she spent a great deal of money at a convenience store in her final transaction before her disappearance. Deacon and Finn leave Deacon’s home to follow up on the lead. When they arrive, the store employee smoking out back tells them she hasn’t seen Sheila and goes back inside. A homeless gentleman overhears their conversation and offers his assistance in exchange for a little money. He assures Deacon and Finn that he never forgets a face. He recognizes Sheila and said he last seen her entering the abandoned building across the alley and heard screaming but didn’t interfere because “you learn to mind your own business around here.” Gunshots and police sirens follow as the gentlemen wishes them luck and proceeds to leave the area. Finn and Deacon decide to check out the abandoned building in hopes of locating Sheila. Upon entering the building and breaking through several locked barriers, a dirty mattress is discovered with someone laying on it covered with a blanket. Food wrappers and empty water bottles are scattered about on the floor around the mattress. Deacon removes the shoe from the woman laying on the mattress and discovers a missing toe revealing the woman to be Sheila. Finn attempts to revive Sheila and she awakens dehydrated and weak. Sheila is alive.
