The Bold and the Beautiful kicked off the first week of August with a tense, emotional, and action-packed episode that left viewers reeling. Monday’s episode (August 4, 2025) was filled with romantic peril, secret revelations, and one of the most dramatic rescues in recent soap memory. The emotional tension was high from start to finish, setting the tone for a week of explosive consequences.

🌊 Brooke Nearly Falls to Her Death – Ridge Saves the Day
One of the most jaw-dropping moments in Monday’s episode came aboard a luxurious Italian yacht. As Nick Marone planned to propose to Brooke Logan, the mood shifted dramatically when Brooke lost her balance near the railing.

Just as Nick was about to present the ring, Brooke leaned too far forward, distracted by the view. In a moment of sheer panic, she slipped—falling into the sea. But fate—and Ridge Forrester—intervened.

Having raced from the marina after learning of Nick’s intentions, Ridge arrived just in time to witness Brooke’s fall. Without hesitation, he dove into the ocean, pulling her back to safety.

The moment was raw, cinematic, and symbolic: Ridge, once again, saving the woman he loves. Brooke’s gratitude was genuine—but her heart remained torn.

🛥️ Ridge’s Race Against Time
The episode began with Eric Forrester warning Ridge that he had little time to act if he wanted to win Brooke back. With Nick’s proposal imminent, Ridge needed to decide whether he would fight for Brooke—or let her go.

Eric’s words cut deep. He told Ridge, “If you don’t stop this now, she’ll say yes. And this time, she won’t come back to you.”

Fueled by love and desperation, Ridge made the bold choice to fly to Naples, where Brooke and Nick were spending time together on a yacht. His arrival was dramatic and perfectly timed—not only to prevent a proposal but to save a life.

While Brooke was visibly shaken, her emotions were conflicted. She embraced Ridge, but her feelings for Nick weren’t easily dismissed. The love triangle has never felt more intense.

🧬 Finn Grills Grace – Liam’s Diagnosis Under Scrutiny
Back in Los Angeles, the storyline took a more suspenseful turn as Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan confronted Grace Buckingham over inconsistencies in Liam Spencer’s recent brain tumor diagnosis.

Finn, having dug into Liam’s medical records, discovered serious irregularities. The timeline didn’t match, and the symptoms appeared exaggerated—or completely fabricated. He confronted Grace, demanding answers.

Grace tried to deflect, insisting the documents were accurate, but Finn pressed harder. He suggested that Liam might have used a false diagnosis to gain sympathy, manipulate his family, or even deflect blame for recent actions.

The confrontation grew tense, and although Grace didn’t outright confess, her body language and hesitation were enough to raise major red flags.

This subplot promises to blow up in the coming days, especially if Finn confirms that Grace helped Liam deceive everyone—including Bill Spencer.

💥 Taylor in the Shadows – Heartbreak Looms
Though she didn’t appear on screen Monday, the ghost of Taylor Hayes lingered. As Ridge traveled halfway across the world for Brooke, fans couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Taylor.

Eric made it clear: Ridge’s heart still belongs to Brooke. And with Ridge now risking his life for her, it’s only a matter of time before Taylor’s world comes crashing down again.

How Taylor will respond when she learns of Ridge’s heroic move—and Brooke’s vulnerability—remains to be seen. But viewers know that this love triangle is far from over.
