Is Hope pregnant?

Hope comes to Deacon to tell her father to stop the delusions about Sheila being alive. But Hope experiences quite a shock when she sees Sheila alive, and faints.

 

 

After Hope recovers from her fainting, Finn tells Hope how grateful he is that her mother is alive. The mother he thought he had already lost forever.

 

Again, Finn and Hope are given a reason and a way to get closer to each other. Who can guess where this plot pattern is going?

 

The news of Sheila's resurrection spreads. As do the terrifying facts that Finn calls his mother a hero, believes that she has changed, and would like her to be part of his family. The others can't understand how Finn can be on the side of the monster Sheila. But Hope even defends Finn to her family. Hope believes that people can change, after all that has happened to Thomas and Deacon too.

And how does Steffy react to Finn's "amazing" news about Sheila's resurrection? Which, of course, Steffy thinks is anything but wonderful.

 

Horrified by Sheila being alive and Finn's attitude towards it, Steffy tells Finn (again) to choose either his wife or his mother.

 

Finn assures that his choice is of course Steffy. How cruel is a wife who tells her husband to stay away from his mother...

Hope is shocked again when Deacon tells her he's engaged to Sheila. Deacon really wants his daughter to come to the wedding, and knows that Sheila would want the same for her son Finn.

Hope and Finn ponder together whether they should agree to the happy couple's wish to attend the wedding. Hope complains to Finn about her headache from the stress and Thomas leaving, and Finn offers to give Hope a massage.

 

Fainting and headache? Are they really only due to external factors? Speculations are running hot, could Hope actually be pregnant?

Thomas is said to be returning to the series soon. Could Hope have bigger than life news for him then? Some also speculate that Thomas could return from Paris with a surprise, such as a new model wife...
