What to Expect on The Bold and the Beautiful

On Monday's all-new episode, Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) did the unthinkable, and not only did he propose to her after his son's wedding, but they had an impromptu ceremony of their own. While it's unclear what the legal status of the union is, one thing is certain: Bill and Katie are once again united, and they look to become a formidable opponent against Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Forrester Creations. The happy couple's celebration will continue on Tuesday as Katie gives Bill a special gift. It's unclear what the present entails, but she has already given him the biggest gift of all: a second chance.

News travels fast in Los Angeles because in Tuesday's new episode, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) tells Ridge that more than one couple got married today. Katie's relationship with the company she works for is already on shaky ground, so marrying Ridge's sworn enemy is not the best way to ease the tension. Bill and Ridge recently had a heated face-off over Forrester's treatment of his new bride, which culminated in Spencer being asked to leave the building.

Brooke supported her sister in the moment, but when push comes to shove, she will always have Ridge's back. Expect the tension between the siblings to deepen, potentially leading to Katie's defection. Bill is offering Katie the world on a silver platter, and since Forrester has proven they no longer need her to handle PR issues, there's not much left tying her to the company.

Eratic and excluded

Deacon (Sean Kanan) chose to remain with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown), and while that is his prerogative, his children haven't taken the news kindly. Hope (Annika Noelle) shut out Sheila from her wedding, which prompted an old-school Sheila meltdown in Taylor's office. Despite trying to maintain distance from her client's wife, Taylor's been unable to set strong boundaries with Sheila. As of now, Deacon's unaware how close his wife came to crashing his daughter's wedding, something that would've destroyed their not-so-perfect union.

On Tuesday, Taylor and Deacon worry about Sheila and her behavior, and they have good reason to. Sheila is feeling increasingly isolated and excluded, and it's only going to get worse. Hope and Deke (Harrison Cone) have no intentions of letting her back into the family fold, so the erratic behavior she's exhibiting is bound to escalate. Although her actions are questionable, it's hard not to wonder whether she is reverting to her old ways or being backed into a corner because of their treatment of her.

If Sheila continues down the road she's walking, she'll drive her husband away. Sparks have flown between Deacon and Taylor on numerous occasions, and the best way to drive her directly into her arms is to show more frequent glimpses of the woman she used to be.
