Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivers explosive revelations, dangerous secrets, and a visitor that will turn every storyline upside down. The drama begins with Hope Logan pacing nervously outside Steffy’s office. For weeks, she’s felt something off — Liam has been distant, his eyes darting whenever Steffy enters the room. When she walks in unannounced, she overhears them mid-conversation about “keeping it quiet until after the custody decision.” Her heart sinks. She confronts Liam later, who stammers through excuses, but Hope doesn’t buy it. “So it’s true?” she whispers. “You never stopped loving her.” The betrayal cuts deep — and this time, Hope might not forgive.
Meanwhile, Ridge is furious when Brooke inserts herself into Eric’s pending estate battle. He warns her sternly, “Stay out of this — it’s between me and my father.” But Brooke, as always, refuses to back down. “When it affects our family, Ridge, it is my business.” Across town, Thomas surprises Paris with roses and a ring, but when she hesitates, he turns cold. “If you don’t know by now,” he says, “maybe you never loved me at all.” Paris is stunned by the ultimatum, unsure whether to chase a future or run from it.
In another corner of the city, Finn returns home early and finds Steffy hurriedly deleting messages from her phone. She claims it’s nothing, but Finn’s instincts flare. After everything with Sheila, he doesn’t trust easily anymore. Later, Finn confides in Li, who encourages him to “look closer — Steffy’s hiding something.”
Back at Forrester Creations, Eric opens an envelope addressed with no return name. Inside is a legal document and a flash drive. When he clicks play, a video of a long-buried family secret begins to play — something so damaging, it could unravel everything the Forresters have built. Eric clutches the desk, realizing someone wants revenge… and knows exactly where to strike.
Elsewhere, RJ opens up to Luna in a raw, heartfelt moment. “I’ve never said this to anyone,” he begins, “but I love you.” Luna looks away, guilt clouding her face. She’s still shaken by her brief, mysterious connection with Zende — a secret she buried, but never forgot. Can she love RJ while carrying that lie?
The drama continues as Katie confronts Bill over a tense conversation she overheard about their son, Will. Bill, in his usual bravado, claims he’s preparing Will to take over Spencer Publications “whether Katie likes it or not.” Katie, insulted and heartbroken, slaps him and walks out — but her anger may just be the beginning of a fierce custody war.
And then comes Deacon — lurking in shadows, making a late-night call from outside Il Giardino. “It’s time,” he says in a low voice. “Bring her back.” Who she is remains unknown, but the tone suggests something dangerous — or someone viewers thought was long gone.
Meanwhile, Donna finds herself trapped in a storage room at Forrester after chasing what she thought was a lost design sketch. But what she overhears changes everything — Ridge and Brooke’s private argument about her past affair with Nick. Donna’s face goes pale. “If that secret comes out now,” she whispers to herself, “it’ll blow everything apart.”
Finally, as the day winds to a close, the Forrester mansion receives an uninvited visitor. The camera pans slowly to a pair of high heels stepping out of a limo, followed by a woman in sunglasses. As the camera rises — it’s Quinn Fuller. She removes her glasses, eyes burning with fire. “Miss me?” she says to no one in particular, but the war has just begun.
