What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

At the Spencer mansion, Steffy brought Kelly to visit her dad. Kelly said that she heard her dad was a hero and Bill agreed. Steffy said there was someone else who was a hero: Sheila. Kelly and Liam had a good visit then Bill took her to the kitchen for a snack so Steffy and Liam could have some alone time.
Liam recounted that when he entered the beach house, the first thing he saw was Sheila on the floor, shot by her own granddaughter. Steffy said it still amazed her that Sheila helped to save her. They noted that Sheila lost a toe instead of having a gunshot wound to the chest. Liam felt he owed Finn his life for saving him during surgery. Steffy wasn’t sure she could believe that Sheila could continue to be a good person.
Steffy told Liam how terrified she was that they lost him when he was shot. Steffy cried as she noted he survived Luna, the bullet, and cancer. “I’m so grateful for the miracle of you,” she said. Liam said words wouldn’t express how blessed he felt. He had spent months trying to find a way to say goodbye, and now he wasn’t going anywhere.
At Il Giardino, Sheila visited with the staff, and Deacon made toe puns. They were surprised when Finn walked in. He said he wanted to stop by to check on Sheila and thank her. He noted she took a bullet to save Steffy that day and said it was a very courageous thing to do.
Sheila told Finn that Luna was troubled but truly believed she didn’t mean to harm anyone that day, especially Steffy. Sheila thought Finn must feel conflicted about Luna dying, and acknowledged he must be hurting. Finn didn’t want to talk about his feelings about Luna; he just wanted to thank Sheila. “You didn’t think I had it in me, did you?” Sheila smiled. Deacon agreed she had changed, and he’d seen it firsthand. Sheila credited it to Deacon’s love and support. “I really believe if Luna had an opportunity, she could have changed, too,” Sheila added.
In the design office, Katie couldn’t believe it when Brooke recounted how she had told Ridge that she was considering bringing Nick along for the trip to Italy. Brooke was gleeful that Ridge wasn’t happy about the idea. Brooke insisted she wasn’t trying to get under Ridge’s skin, and nixed the idea of inviting Nick. She said it would be disrespectful to Ridge and Eric, knowing how they feel about him.
Brooke lamented that Taylor would probably love for her to get together with Nick, so she didn’t have to worry about a reunion with Ridge. Katie scoffed at Taylor’s feelings, noting that Ridge and Brooke love one another. Katie encouraged Brooke to try to get Ridge back in Italy and reminded her that Eric was on her side to help.
Later, Brooke thought about her previous trips to Italy with Ridge, as Katie’s words repeated in her head about never counting out the magic of Italy. She smiled, thinking about the possibility of a reunion with Ridge.
In the CEO’s office, Eric and Ridge ranted about how Nick kept their silk shipment held up at the docks. “What are you going ot do about it?” Eric asked. Ridge said he was going to protect the people he cared about. Eric needled Ridge again, pressing him about Nick and Brooke getting together, and wanted Ridge to admit he had feelings for Brooke.
Ridge reminded Eric again that he loves Taylor and said that was why he was engaged to her. “This engagement is based on a flimsy foundation. A business transaction that you misinterpreted,” Eric told his son. Ridge didn’t want to hear it anymore, but Eric told him he was being pigheaded, like his mother used to be about Brooke. Eric appreciated that Ridge was stuck between two women, but said Taylor was not Brooke. “She’s not your Logan. I know it, and you know it,” Eric said.
Ridge told his dad that he loved him, but he needed to drop it. Eric refused and shamed him for treating Brooke so unfairly. “You could lose her forever,” he warned. Eric lectured Ridge about getting back together with Brooke and diminished his history and relationship with Taylor. “Any life you would have with Taylor and your kids pales in comparison to what you could have with Brooke. She’s out there waiting for you. You just take her for granted that she’s always going ot be there,” he said. He told Ridge it was a hard world out there, but if he opened his eyes and she wasn’t there waiting for him anymore, how would he feel?
At the Forrester mansion, Nick dropped by to see Taylor. He said he needed Taylor’s take on Brooke and Ridge, and if there were a chance they would reunite. He told Taylor how he planned to be in Naples for business at the same time as the Forresters and suggested Taylor go as well. Taylor surmised he wanted her help to win over Brooke.
Nick reminded Taylor that he and Brooke had a history. He suggested Taylor should go to Italy and spend as much time as possible with Ridge. Taylor laughed and reminded him that it was a business trip, and she was a psychiatrist. Taylor insisted she wasn’t threatened by Brooke, so she wasn’t going. Nick didn’t think she was entirely honest with herself. He said he knew what Eric did at the fashion show and suggested it could happen again in Italy.
Taylor wasn’t going to throw shade at her future father-in-law for supporting Brooke. Nick said it was weird that her roommate was working against her. Taylor didn’t ask for his opinion, so Nick relented, but said he couldn’t be hanging out in L.A. when his fiancée was in Italy, keeping a watchful eye on things.
