The Bold and the Beautiful continues to deliver high drama and emotional turmoil this week, as Monday’s episode takes viewers on a

rollercoaster of secrets, phone calls, and shattered trust. Fans better brace themselves — because the lives of the Forresters and Logans are about to be shaken once again.

📞 Steffy’s Shocking Phone Call

 

 

The episode opens with Steffy Forrester in her office at Forrester Creations, trying to regain her focus after weeks of chaos. Just when she begins to feel some sense of control, her phone rings — and what she hears on the other end stops her cold.

 

 

The mysterious call comes from a blocked number, and the voice is someone Steffy hasn’t heard in a very long time. “You thought you could just walk away, didn’t you?” the voice taunts her. Steffy’s expression changes instantly, the color draining from her face as she realizes who it is.

 

 

Rumors swirl that the caller could be Sheila Carter, the woman who terrorized her family and nearly destroyed her life. Others believe it could be someone from Steffy’s past in Europe — a person she wronged who has finally come to seek revenge.

Viewers see Steffy’s hands tremble as she ends the call, whispering to herself, “No… it can’t be.” Whatever she heard is serious enough to send her into panic mode, and this moment could set off one of the biggest storylines of the fall season.

 

 

Meanwhile, Hope Logan is also hiding something — and the guilt is eating her alive. After weeks of denying any emotional connection to Thomas Forrester, Hope finally finds herself backed into a corner.

Liam confronts her once again, demanding to know why she’s been so distant and distracted. “I can feel you slipping away from me,” he says. But Hope avoids eye contact, knowing the truth would break him.

Later, she meets Thomas at the design office, and their conversation takes a dangerous turn. “You promised me this wouldn’t happen again,” Thomas reminds her, his tone both tender and tense. Hope tries to explain herself, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

When they embrace, Hope pulls away and whispers, “No one can ever know about this.” Unfortunately, Brooke overhears part of their conversation from outside the door — and her shocked expression says it all.

By the end of the episode, Brooke is faced with an impossible decision: should she protect her daughter’s secret, or tell Liam the truth about Hope’s growing bond with Thomas?

💔 Ridge and Eric’s Emotional Divide Deepens

While Steffy and Hope’s storylines steal the spotlight, the emotional battle between Ridge Forrester and Eric continues to escalate.

Eric’s health is rapidly declining, but he refuses to slow down. Determined to complete his “final masterpiece” collection, he pushes himself beyond his limits, collapsing in front of Donna at one point.

“Please, Eric, you need to tell Ridge,” Donna begs. But Eric shakes his head, saying softly, “He doesn’t need to see me weak. Not yet.”

Ridge, on the other hand, is struggling with guilt and pride. After discovering that Eric’s designs have regained massive attention from clients, Ridge realizes his father still has the magic — and perhaps he underestimated him.

The father-son rivalry that has defined Forrester Creations for decades is heading toward a heartbreaking climax. As Ridge confides in Brooke later that night, he wonders aloud, “What if I’ve already lost him?”

🔥 Deacon’s Dangerous Dilemma

Elsewhere, Deacon Sharpe faces his own crisis as Sheila Carter reappears in his life, begging him for help. Her sudden presence sends him spiraling into confusion and fear.

“Sheila, you can’t be here,” Deacon pleads, but she refuses to leave. “You still care about me, don’t you?” she whispers.

Despite knowing the risks, Deacon seems unable to resist her manipulation. His choices could soon destroy his relationship with Hope — especially now that she’s beginning to sense that her father isn’t being entirely honest.

⚡ The Cliffhanger

As the episode reaches its emotional peak, Steffy returns home, still shaken by the mysterious phone call. She sits alone, staring at her phone, replaying the voice in her head. Then, her phone buzzes again — another message, this time with a chilling warning:

“You can’t hide forever, Steffy.”

The camera zooms in on her terrified expression, signaling that her past is about to catch up with her in ways she never imagined.

Meanwhile, Hope stands in front of her mirror, wrestling with guilt and temptation. Her whispered words close the episode perfectly:

“I’ve made a mistake I can’t take back.”
