In the latest episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, the tension escalated right from where things left off — with Deacon and Carter in a heated confrontation. Deacon continued taking personal jabs, using his daughter Hope as ammunition. Just when things seemed on the verge of spiraling, Daphne stepped in and took matters into her own hands.

Not only did Daphne defend Carter, but she physically kicked Deacon out of the office when his insults crossed the line. Before storming out, Deacon issued a pointed warning: Carter better stay away from Hope. This moment played perfectly into Daphne’s hands as she took the opportunity to get closer to Carter, the man she clearly has feelings for.

While tending to his injuries, Daphne made her feelings known — not just about Carter, but also about Hope. She reminded Carter that Hope is facing the fallout of her own choices, subtly encouraging him to move on and consider someone who truly supports him.

Meanwhile, in a far more sinister corner of the story, Luna confided in her grandmother Sheila about her crush on Will. But Sheila wasn’t having it — she reminded Luna that their real priority is bringing Finn into their lives permanently. The two agreed: for Finn to become truly theirs, Steffy needs to be removed from the picture.

With Sheila and Luna now quietly plotting, and Steffy’s emotional connection with Liam growing stronger (especially after she saved his life), the future of Steffy and Finn’s marriage looks grim. Liam, still recovering, asked Steffy to keep his medical crisis a secret — a gesture that may bind them further or create new rifts depending on how it unfolds.

With romantic sparks flying, loyalties shifting, and secret alliances forming, the episode set the stage for major upheaval. Will Steffy and Finn survive this storm, or are we watching the beginning of the end?
