Even Mike can see the delusion of Sheila’s evil. Sheila Carter is evil. There’s no denying that. She claims to love Finn, yet she tries to kill his wife, Steffy Forrester. Mike was right when he told her he wanted nothing to do with her. However, he keeps getting pulled back in, which is why he is now being questioned by Baker, Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan Forrester. Perhaps he can soothe her mother complex.
Mike can deny his involvement in Sheila’s prison break all he likes, but the truth will get out eventually. They both know this. Why Guthrie doesn’t ditch Carter and get out of dodge is anyone’s guess. The evil psycho is clutching at straws now and believes her son doesn’t hate her.
Finn might be a little high off his meds, but he’s not lying. He does hate Sheila, given how evil she is. She robbed him of months with his family. At the moment, he thinks his true mother, Li, is dead. However, as the audience, we know she isn’t and is currently traumatised due to what happened to her.
Can we blame her? No. We cannot. It takes a particular type of person to get someone to be as fearful as Li is now. Finn is everything to her, and almost losing him, and her own life will be a massive wake-up call to how evil Sheila truly is.
Evil Is Not Going To Last, And Mike Knows It
If today’s episode indicates, Sheila and, by extension, Mike is beginning to panic. The police are closing in around them. Baker is like a dog with a bone. He’s not going to give up until Sheila is back behind bars.
While this is all well and good, it would be even better if Mike got over his obsession with her and just turned her in. It would save his bacon, and everyone else would be able to breathe easier. Not to mention, it would be amazing to see Sheila get what she rightfully deserves.
Mike is aware that Sheila is pure evil. Look at how she treats him. He was loyal to her only to get almost mauled by a dog which he claims was eating out of his hand like thirty seconds later. Carter doesn’t think about the reason that her other children want nothing to do with her. She is even in pushing for a reunion with Finn and not her other kids because his son is also the child of a Forrester.
Golddigger
This is similar to why Zoe Buckingham wanted to marry Thomas Forrester and be with Zende Forrester Dominguez. Thank god Carter Walton called her out for being a golddigger. Returning to Sheila, her main concern is remaining in her son and grandson’s life. As we’ve said before, She has no right to be in her son’s life as all she did was carry him to term. That does NOT make her his mother.
The Forresters are an influential family; many people have passed their bullshit metre over the years. Sheila is one of the most recurring of all the threats they have faced. Her lack of accountability is what drives her obsession. She has been unable to get over Eric dumping her due to her evil ways.
What Eric ever saw in her is a mystery. Perhaps she and Guthrie are better suited. Anywho, Sheila’s evil has never gotten her very far. She believes that the Forresters turned Finn against her, but she did that herself.
Sheila’s obsession with the Forresters has always been her undoing, and it always will be. She cannot understand why they keep rejecting her and deeming her to be evil. For the average viewer, her constant crimes, such as kidnapping, blackmail, shooting Taylor, etc., are why people are so wary of her. It’s sad. She and Finn could’ve had a good relationship with her other children if she wasn’t hellbent on revenge all the time.
Speaking of Taylor, at least we weren’t subjected to her toddler tantrums about Brooke this time. Anyway, we’re off-topic. Let’s get back to Mike.
Hell Hath No Evil
To conclude this post, we need to bring up Mike one last time. Of him and Sheila, he’s the reasonable one. He knows that what she is doing is a lost cause. But unfortunately, we do not think he is right in telling Sheila to let Finn die. That is wrong. No person should die unless they’re genuinely evil and have no sense of goodness.
Sheila might not be in that category exactly, but she’s pretty close as she’s unwilling to accept that she is the one who starts confrontations and rivalries. It is no wonder Steffy wants her nowhere near her children, let alone Hayes. No child should have to be told that their grandmother is a psychopath.
