Games People Play: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops For the Week of October 20th

A mystery has been solved on The Bold and the Beautiful! And better yet, Dollar Bill Spencer has figured it out. We couldn't be more proud of good ol' Bill for having another mea culpa moment and catching onto Luna's game.

Crocodile tears on a phony black eye

So, that's how Luna got all bloody and bruised all those months ago. She had her cellmate rough her up a bit and was not against doing it again. Those bruises got Luna on mansion arrest, where she was able to soak up the sun, stream anything she wanted on a big screen TV, and even find her newest mark. In the end, she got a pardon, ended up presumed dead, raped a man, and is now pregnant and back behind bars. Phew! That's a lot.

And guess what? She is ready for an encore. Since the baby she is carrying couldn't secure her freedom, Luna figured she'd have the same cellmate rough her up again. First, what are the odds that Luna would end up with the same cellmate in lockup? We are not even sure if this is an actual prison, because Luna was neither tried nor sentenced for any of her crimes. Second, now we know how she did it the first time.

Except this time, Bill ain't fallin' for it. Will fell for it at first, and Katie was, as well, but Bill set them both straight because he knew exactly what Luna was up to. Luna thinks she has it made, however, so this will be interesting to watch as Luna and Bill play a little game of cat and mouse with Poppy helping. Cause we all know Poppy has visions of dollar signs dancing in her head.

Honey, I'm home...Now, let me at her

Steffy did not have a happy homecoming | Image: CBS

Steffy's back, as if that wasn't obvious, as everything Steffy does has to be done with a loud grandiosity because, well, she's Steffy, and in Steffy's world, she is the Queen, so don't mess with her.

Finn ruined Steffy's homecoming before Steffy could even blink by telling her that Luna was alive. Ok, rewind and backup. That's essentially what Steffy said upon hearing the news. And that happy little reunion in bed had to wait because Steffy stormed right out of her little beach house and right into jail to tell Luna she better behave or else. We are not sure what the "what else" is, because Steffy essentially becomes helpless when Luna is around. Will she yell at her again and tell her to go away? Cause that really worked out well when she tried it the first 20 times.

No, Luna is not scared of Steffy one little bit. She has a baby and a rape victim to worry about, so Steffy is the last thing on her mind. Since Luna's pregnancy has already been SORAS'd, if she gives birth during November sweeps (that's coming any day now), can we retire this character who has so very much jumped the big ol' shark? We love Lisa Yamada, so maybe Luna has a good twin out there somewhere, because Luna is well past her expiration date.

Sheila's a good person...

According to Sheila. Did anyone's jaw NOT drop to the floor when she asserted this to Taylor? Yes, we kinda like the kinder, gentler Sheila and oddly find ourselves rooting for her and Deacon, but good person? Isn't this the woman who, not three years ago, shot her son and his wife, before leaving them for dead in an alley?

Is Sheila not THEE premiere CBS soap villainess who has committed heinous crime after heinous crime for decades on end? What is this good person nonsense?

Sure, Sheila has mellowed, but she is not exactly what we would call a good person. Maybe a shades-of-grey person now, but GOOD? Yeah, just no.

Two weeks later...

Hope still doesn't know what she wants | Image: CBS

For two full weeks, we wondered what happened between Liam and Hope after she let him know that she was no longer wearing Carter's engagement ring. We also wondered what happened between Carter and Daphne when he found her sad-songing at open mic night. Welp, apparently nothing.

Hope still has no idea what she wants to do about Liam, while Liam is still longing for Hope and debating when the right time is to make his big move. And Daphne is asking Carter about the status of his relationship with Hope. Really? NOTHING happened with these two couples during a two-week period? What kind of soap opera is this?
