The latest full episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivers a surprising shift in alliances as Sheila Carter makes a bold and unexpected

move—defying Daphne and openly backing Ridge Forrester. In a storyline packed with tension, power plays, and emotional undercurrents, the episode proves once again that nothing in Los Angeles is ever black and white, especially when Sheila is involved.

 

 

The episode opens with mounting pressure at Forrester Creations. Ridge finds himself under fire from multiple directions, facing both professional challenges and personal doubts. Recent conflicts have left him isolated, and even his closest allies are questioning whether he

 

 

can maintain control. Enter Daphne, whose growing influence threatens to destabilize Ridge’s position even further. Calm on the surface but calculating underneath, Daphne makes it clear she believes Ridge’s time at the top is coming to an end.

 

 

Daphne confronts Sheila early in the episode, expecting her support. The two have shared a complicated understanding—part alliance, part mutual tolerance. Daphne assumes Sheila will side with her, especially since opposing Ridge could create new opportunities for power and leverage. Instead, Sheila listens quietly, her expression unreadable, revealing nothing of her true intentions.

 

 

What follows is a slow-burn buildup to one of the episode’s most shocking moments. Sheila watches as Daphne subtly undermines Ridge in meetings, questioning his decisions and planting seeds of doubt among the board. Ridge senses the hostility but struggles to identify its source. The tension is palpable, and viewers are left wondering whether this will be the moment Ridge finally loses everything.
