Today’s Bold and the Beautiful delivers a mix of hidden emotions, family tension, and lingering secrets as the characters navigate their personal and professional lives.
The episode begins in Finn’s office, where he and Poppy are still at odds over her keeping the secret about Luna being his daughter. After their heated argument, Poppy pleads with Finn to keep the truth hidden and not tell Steffy. Finn, visibly frustrated, walks out, leaving Poppy to contemplate the situation on her own.
At Bill’s place, Luna nervously updates Bill about her recent encounter with Will and Electra. She assures him that she didn’t get caught, but Bill remains on edge, reminding her that she can’t afford to be discovered, especially with her ankle monitor. “No one can know you’re here,” he emphasizes. Luna is forced to hide when Liam unexpectedly arrives. Bill tells his son that he doesn’t need to check up on him, but Liam brushes it off, claiming he just wanted to stop by. The two talk business, specifically about closing the “Dublin deal,” and Bill expresses his pride in Liam. However, Liam is disappointed that Bill wasn’t there to celebrate with everyone at the office, but Bill promises to come in later this week. Liam, sensing something is off, asks why Bill is staying home so often. Bill dismisses the concern, assuring him, “I have everything under control.”
Meanwhile, at the Forrester mansion, Ridge is on the phone with Justin, who informs him that there’s nothing more that can be done legally to fix the current situation. Steffy, determined to end Hope and Carter’s “evil coup,” expresses her frustrations and reflects on the positive outcome of Ridge’s reunion with Taylor. Ridge jokes about Steffy’s dramatized take on Brooke’s role in their past, but he’s grateful for her support. Steffy announces that she’s going to meet Finn to celebrate their anniversary, and Ridge hugs her, wishing her the best. As Steffy prepares to leave, Ridge comments on how close they came to losing her, to which Steffy somberly replies, “Yes, because of Luna.”
In the Forrester office, Carter has a serious conversation with Brooke. He insists he needs to focus on the company, but Brooke expresses her frustration over Ridge and Eric’s absence, calling it wrong that they’re not around. She also brings up Ridge turning to Taylor after their fallout. Carter tries to gauge if Brooke believes she and Ridge can mend their relationship, but before they can dive deeper into the conversation, Carter returns to work. However, a lingering thought crosses his mind about tricking Ridge and Steffy into signing the LLC papers.
At the prison, Finn is determined to find out where Luna is being held, but the administrator refuses to give him any information. Finn holds back from revealing that he is Luna’s father, but pleads for the chance to see her. The administrator informs him that Luna hasn’t been released and is still an inmate in the California State Corrections system. However, once Finn leaves, the administrator makes a call to Poppy, asking her where their daughter is. Poppy, clearly anxious, admits she doesn’t know but pleads with him once again to keep the secret from Steffy.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy prepares for a quiet anniversary celebration. As she thinks back to Finn’s proposal, she smiles, eager for him to come home. But when Finn finally walks through the door, something seems off. Steffy notices his distant demeanor, asking him if everything is okay. Finn hesitates, and Steffy reassures him that whatever it is, she’s there for him.
They settle down with a glass of wine, and Steffy mentions how she’s been thinking about their journey together, including all the obstacles they’ve overcome—Luna and Sheila being among the most significant. She insists that they have only good things to look forward to with their family, and nothing will tear them apart. Finn, though, only offers a half-hearted smile, and Steffy can tell something is bothering him. She presses him to open up, but Finn’s mind is clouded with Poppy’s warning to keep quiet.
As the episode ends, Finn becomes emotional, struggling with the weight of the secret he’s carrying. “There’s something I need to tell you, honey,” he says, his voice full of emotion. What is Finn hiding, and how will Steffy react when the truth finally comes to light?
