The Wednesday, August 6, 2025 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivers powerful drama, emotional turning points, and long-awaited revelations that change the course of multiple characters. The episode opens with breathtaking scenes in the Mediterranean, where Brooke Logan, after a romantic but tense sailing trip, falls overboard during a sudden storm. Ridge Forrester dives into the water without hesitation to save her, pulling her to safety in a dramatic and emotionally charged moment. As they return to the yacht, soaking wet and shaken, Brooke is overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion. This harrowing experience brings clarity to her heart. While she had been torn between Ridge and Nick in previous episodes, this act of bravery rekindles her deep feelings for Ridge. She tells him through tears that no one has ever fought for her like he has. Ridge, in turn, tells her that saving her reminded him of what really matters — and that’s her.
Back in Los Angeles, tension simmers as Finn continues digging into the mystery behind Liam’s unexpected recovery and the shady decisions surrounding his medical treatment. Finn becomes increasingly suspicious of Grace Buckingham, whose involvement in Liam’s case has been murky and ethically questionable. Convinced that she is hiding something, Finn arranges a private meeting with her at the hospital. What follows is a fierce and emotional confrontation, as Finn demands the truth. Grace, clearly cornered and guilt-ridden, finally cracks under pressure. She confesses that she altered Liam’s medication without full approval and misled both Hope and Liam about his condition. She claims she did it out of desperation to save Liam, but Finn is horrified by her breach of trust and medical ethics.
The scene is intense, as Finn’s voice trembles with disbelief. He struggles to process the idea that someone in his own professional circle would act so recklessly and selfishly. Grace pleads for forgiveness, saying she had no choice, but Finn isn’t ready to absolve her. He warns her that he will report the incident, and that the consequences could be serious. This sets up a looming professional and personal fallout that could shatter careers and relationships alike.
Meanwhile, the Spencer household is still recovering from the effects of Liam’s ordeal. Hope is seen reflecting on her recent choices, wondering if the emotional distance between her and Liam will ever heal. She hasn’t yet learned of Grace’s deception, but hints suggest that the truth may soon reach her, and when it does, it could completely change how she sees both Finn and Liam.
Elsewhere, a subplot unfolds involving Carter, Hope, and newcomer Daphne. Though not the focus of the episode, a scene hints at future romantic conflict, as Daphne appears to be developing feelings for Carter. Hope catches a brief but telling exchange between the two, and though she says nothing, her expression reveals subtle jealousy. This minor interaction quietly sets the stage for a future love triangle, with emotional stakes running high.
Returning to Ridge and Brooke, the latter finally tells Nick that she’s made her decision — and it’s not him. She thanks him for his patience and love, but says Ridge’s actions in saving her life made her realize where her heart truly belongs. Nick, while heartbroken, takes the news with quiet dignity, admitting that he always knew she might go back to Ridge. It’s a mature and respectful closure to a complicated love triangle that has captivated fans for months.
The final scene of the episode returns to Finn, who sits alone in his office, replaying Grace’s confession in his mind. The weight of what he’s learned is clearly crushing him. Not only does he now face the ethical dilemma of exposing Grace, but he also fears what the truth will do to Hope and Liam — two people he genuinely cares about. As he stares at the hospital report, his phone buzzes with a message from Hope asking if everything is okay. Finn doesn’t respond — his silence saying more than words ever could.
