In Friday’s Bold & Beautiful recap, Steffy confronts Hope about pushing Taylor and Deacon, Deacon asks Taylor out, Dylan makes a promise. Steffy Confronts Hope, Deacon Asks Taylor On a ‘Hot Date’ – and Dylan Makes Electra a Promise She May Not Be Able to Keep
At the cliff house, Hope continues probing Taylor about her feelings for Deacon. Steffy arrives in time to hear her tell the psychiatrist that they would be amazing together.
Avoiding Sheila
At Il Giardino, Deacon tells Finn that Sheila’s not there. The madwoman’s son asks the restaurateur how he puts up with her. Deacon skirts the question and takes off for a session with Taylor. Sheila emerges and greets her “handsome son.”
Finn shifts in his chair uncomfortably and explains he’s just picking up takeout. Sheila ignores this and joins him to specifically tell him she and Deacon are back together and doing great thanks to Taylor. Finn fidgets as she goes on and on.
A Developing Situation
Katie visits Will at the beach house and wants to hear more about this Dylan living in the guest house. At that very moment, Electra is setting boundaries with the girl at Forrester. She can never have dinner alone with Will again!
Dylan asks about a job at Forrester and Electra informs her it’s not going to work out. There won’t be an opening there for a while. Dylan’s surprised, but takes the news gracefully. She’ll figure this out and make sure she’s not in Electra’s way anymore.
At the beach house, Katie goes on about how proud she is of Will for taking Dylan in. Will marvels that her car was full of stuff… it was clear she was living in her backseat. Dylan is one of Electra’s closest friends and he had to help her out.
Over at Forrester, Dylan keeps thanking Electra for believing in her. Electra tells her she and Ivy are going on a business trip to San Francisco for a few days. She needs her to adhere to the rules and stay in the guest apartment while she’s gone. Dylan assures her she has nothing to worry about. They hug as Electra explains she doesn’t want to feel betrayed again.
Comparing Notes
Deacon meets with Taylor at the cliff house and she tells him his daughter came to speak with her. Deacon chuckles… her daughter came to speak with him. At that very moment at Forrester, Steffy is confronting Hope. “Why are you encouraging my mom to be with your father?!”
At the cliff house, Taylor explains that Hope seems to think something is going on between them. Deacon admits he told her that maybe she’s not wrong. Hope wants him to end her marriage. Taylor says Steffy doesn’t trust Sheila. Deacon nods. She made it pretty clear that she’s not supportive and warned him to keep his distance from her. Taylor admits her daughter can come on a little too strong. Deacon admires her desire to protect her. He worries about her too.
Back at Forrester, Hope asks Steffy if it would really be so terrible if Taylor and Deacon got together. Steffy reminds her that he’s Sheila’s Husband™. The weird attraction needs to end before it’s too late. She needs to protect her mom from Sheila!
Hope insists her dad wouldn’t let anything happen to Taylor. Steffy laughs… no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. “This can’t happen.” Hope understands she doesn’t want this to happen, but their parents deserve to be happy! “My dad is a good man. Maybe they could help each other heal.” Steffy says he can’t be with her mom.
The Final Scenes
At Forrester, Steffy advises Hope to help Deacon find a good divorce lawyer and get him on the dating apps… just leave her mother out of it. She admits that Deacon’s come a long way, but that’s beside the point. They both know what Sheila’s capable of. He made his bed, with Sheila, and now he has to sleep in it… with her eight toes.
Moving in close, Deacon lists her attributes and tells her she’s so beautiful while stroking her face.
