The latest episode of The Bold and the Beautiful kicks off with Taylor and Finn comforting Steffy at the Cliff House. Steffy’s feeling torn after confessing the truth to Hope—even though Liam had told her not to. While she’s clearly shaken, Taylor and Finn assure her that coming clean was the right thing to do. They also start wondering what Liam’s next move might be.
Now that Taylor is also in the loop about Liam’s health struggles, the three of them agree to keep the whole situation private and not let it spread any further.
Meanwhile, Liam is with Hope—who’s doing everything she can to win him back. But Liam’s mind is somewhere else entirely. Instead of reconciling, he gently nudges Hope towards Carter. He tells her she deserves happiness and that Carter might be the one to give it to her, especially since Liam doesn’t have much time left due to his worsening condition.
The two end up reminiscing about their history—the ups and downs, how they fell in love the first time they met, and all the drama in between. But Liam brings the focus back to Carter, pointing out the way Hope looks at him, as if to say, “That’s your guy now.” And with that, he literally sends her out the door, encouraging her to go find Carter.
Over at the design studio, Brooke gives Daphne Rose a sharp warning to keep her nose out of Liam’s personal life. Meanwhile, Daphne makes her move on Carter, who’s clearly upset about Hope. With her own plans brewing, Daphne sees this as the perfect opportunity to get close to him.
Later, she invites Carter back to her place. He opens up to her while making dinner, pouring his heart out about Hope and Liam. Seeing him emotionally exposed, Daphne makes another flirtatious move—and this time, Carter doesn’t resist.
