Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered another round of emotional intensity, secret revelations, and a bold move that no one saw coming. Relationships were tested, hidden motives began to surface, and a surprising proposal may change the entire landscape of the Forrester-Spencer-Logan saga.
Here’s your full recap of everything that went down in Los Angeles.
Brooke Reels From Humiliation – Ridge Is Torn
The episode opened with Brooke Logan still dealing with the emotional fallout from the explosive scene at Forrester Creations earlier in the week. After being blindsided in front of the press and her coworkers, she finds herself questioning everything — her loyalty to Ridge, her future at the company, and most of all, her self-worth.
Ridge attempts to comfort her, but his efforts fall short. Brooke makes it clear that she’s tired of being his second choice. “You say you love me, Ridge — but you always hesitate,” she says, with a calm but wounded voice. Ridge tries to defend himself, but he can’t ignore what’s been building between Taylor and himself either.
The tension between them thickens, and by the end of the scene, it’s clear that while Ridge may love Brooke, he’s far from committed. Brooke walks out — leaving Ridge alone with his guilt.
Taylor’s Bold Move – A Proposal with Consequences
Later, Ridge finds himself face-to-face with Taylor. Unlike Brooke, Taylor isn’t waiting for Ridge to make up his mind — she’s making her own decisions.
In a rare moment of vulnerability mixed with determination, Taylor stuns Ridge with a heartfelt confession. She’s tired of years of being on the sidelines and watching Ridge bounce between her and Brooke. She makes a bold move: she asks Ridge to marry her.
“I don’t want to be your second choice either,” Taylor says. “But I’m not afraid to fight for the life we’ve always talked about. If you’re ready, I am.”
Ridge is speechless. The proposal, though romantic in tone, also feels like an ultimatum. He doesn’t give her an answer — at least not yet. But the weight of Taylor’s honesty hits him hard.
Steffy and Finn Plan Their Next Move Against Luna
Meanwhile, at the cliff house, Steffy and Finn are deep in conversation about Luna. The recent kiss with Zende has created chaos, and while Finn initially gave Luna the benefit of the doubt, new concerns are mounting.
Finn tells Steffy that he’s spoken to Detective Baker about some odd digital activity linked to Luna’s phone. Texts, calls, and even bank transfers are showing signs of manipulation. Someone may be using Luna — or she may be involved in something far more dangerous.
Steffy is firm. “We need to find out what’s going on before someone else gets hurt — and before RJ gets dragged any deeper into this.”
They decide to monitor Luna more closely and consider using someone close to her to draw out the truth — possibly Will Spencer, who unknowingly may be tied to the digital breadcrumb trail.
Li and Sheila’s Secret Looms Larger
Elsewhere, Li Finnegan has a tense meeting with Sheila Carter. The two women share a secret — one that could tear the Forrester family apart. Though the details remain murky, it’s clear that Luna’s recent behavior and Sheila’s knowledge of it are connected.
Li warns Sheila to stay away from the family, especially Luna. But Sheila, with her classic mix of menace and charm, implies that Li is hiding just as much — maybe even more.
“You think you’re the only one protecting someone?” Sheila sneers. “You and I both know the truth about what really happened that night.”
Whatever they’re hiding, it’s clear the truth will eventually come to light — and when it does, it could destroy multiple relationships.
What’s Next?
Thursday’s episode ends with Ridge standing alone in his office, looking at old photos of himself with both Brooke and Taylor. Two women. Two lives. One impossible decision.
Meanwhile, Luna is seen in tears, staring at her phone as a mysterious message flashes: “We know what you did.”
