As heartbreak tightens its grip on The Bold and the Beautiful, the week explodes with revelations that may permanently reshape the lives of Liam, Hope, Steffy, and Finn. With Liam Spencer’s terminal condition exposed, old wounds are reopened, impossible choices are made—and a potential final wedding is being planned under a looming shadow of death. In the most gut-wrenching twist yet, Steffy collapses after hearing seven words from Finn that may blow up their marriage.
💍 Hope and Liam’s Final Vow?
Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is on the brink of a life-altering decision. Though she’s been uncertain about her future with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), the truth about Liam’s (Scott Clifton) inoperable brain tumor hits her with brutal clarity: she still deeply loves the father of her child. And now that his time may be running out, Hope begins planning something unthinkable—remarrying Liam, just to spend his final days as his wife.
Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), who’s always been Team Liam, has been quietly pushing for this reunion. As Hope’s emotions swell, regrets flood in. Their shared history, the pain, the forgiveness—it all rises to the surface. She’s not ready to say goodbye, not without giving Liam one last beautiful chapter.
😱 Steffy Learns the Truth — and Makes a Call
Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is shouldering the unbearable weight of Liam’s secret. Despite Liam begging to keep his diagnosis private, Steffy’s heart can’t take the burden. After a breakdown and a deeply emotional embrace, she decides: Hope has to know.
So, she heads straight to Brooke’s home. Hope is stunned by the urgency in Steffy’s eyes—and what follows is a heart-wrenching revelation that leaves her shaken. Her ex-husband is dying. Everything suddenly clicks: his odd behavior, the way he keeps pulling away, his emotional confessions. Hope’s knees nearly buckle.
💔 The 7 Words That Could End Steffy and Finn
While Hope struggles with her discovery, Steffy’s world implodes in another direction. John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), her husband, has a secret of his own: he’s being pulled back toward a daughter he’s tried to forget—Luna Nozawa.
Luna, persistent and emotionally vulnerable, continues pushing for a relationship with her father, even showing up at the Malibu house uninvited. Steffy has drawn clear lines—Luna isn’t welcome. But Finn, torn between loyalty and guilt, begins to crack.
In a moment of raw honesty, Finn speaks the seven words that Steffy feared the most:
“I just can’t abandon my daughter anymore.”
The words echo in the room like a bomb going off. Steffy is gutted. Betrayal. Pain. Disbelief. And then—she collapses from the shock.
🧠 Liam’s Health Worsens – Fast
Liam’s condition deteriorates faster than anyone expected. Despite his attempts to control the narrative, his dizzy spells are more frequent, and the pain is intensifying. Even Finn and Bridget are struggling to stay optimistic, and a miracle is becoming less and less likely.
Liam’s growing fear isn’t for himself—but for what he’s leaving behind: Beth, Kelly, and the two women who shaped his life. He urges Finn to be strong for the girls. But inside, he’s preparing to say goodbye.
💥 Will the Wedding Happen?
Back at Brooke’s, Hope begins to imagine a future she never thought she’d want again—a future with Liam, if only for a little while. Carter feels the distance. Though he promised to wait, Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) is stepping in, boldly offering herself as the woman who’ll never walk away.
Hope, meanwhile, considers something bold: a final wedding to Liam. She wants to give him peace, a final gift. But will Liam accept? Will he want to wed her again under the specter of death—or will he try to push her back toward Carter one last time?
💣 Brooke and Ridge Implode Again
As if emotions weren’t already fraying, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is spiraling. She’s finally seeing Ridge for what he is—a man stuck between loyalty and love, without the strength to choose. He refuses to leave Taylor, not out of passion, but out of obligation. And Brooke is done waiting.
But just as her heart hits rock bottom, fate begins weaving something new: Nick Marone’s return. And with him? A storm of secrets that could reset her life in ways she never imagined.
🧬 Luna & Sheila: Trouble Brewing
Luna’s persistence is being fanned by Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). With her granddaughter back in play, Sheila’s got her own plans for chaos. Finn may be resisting, but the emotional warfare has only just begun.
