Here is your The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Friday, July 4, 2025.

What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

In the design office, Hope told Liam he needed to focus on himself. Liam said he had done too much of that in his life already. "But you should be focusing on rest, relaxation, not stressing out over Luna," Hope said, just as Ridge walked in. He wanted to know if there was new news on Luna. Hope said that there wasn't.

"Well, it's hard not to feel that it's only a matter of time," Liam noted. Hope and Liam tag-teamed, describing what happened between Will and Luna as if we hadn't seen it. "I would like to think she's on the 10, heading east with a huge amount of traffic, out of California, never to return," Ridge said.

"It sucks because Luna's pretty much all I'm thinking about right now," Liam said. Ridge assured Liam that they would catch Luna. "I'm talking to Baker and we're going to get Luna back where she belongs. I promise," Ridge said.

Ridge even thanked Liam for his support. "I know it didn't work out between you and Steffy, but I take comfort in knowing you will always be there for each other. You will always be there for the kids," he said.

Finn and Grace continued their chat in Finn's office. "I know that you've been through it. You and your daughters have had a hard time with your husband," Finn said.

"Ex-husband," Grace stressed. "Reese and I split years ago. A chapter of my life I'm trying to move past."

Finn reminded Grace that he was there to listen if she needed, but Grace was focused on Liam and ensuring he got the treatment he needed. "We have made Liam aware of his options," Finn repeated. "But every day counts. We can't waste any more time," Grace countered. Just then, Li walked in and asked Finn if she had heard from Luna recently.

Finn didn't get a chance to answer because Grace told her that they had a patient who wasn't heeding their advice. "Which is why it's crucial Finn gets through to his patient and urges him to seek treatment," Grace asserted.

When Grace left, Li questioned Finn about this mystery patient. Finn told her that he couldn't really talk about it. Li offered to consult, but Finn told her he didn't need it. Li seemed insulted. Finn apologized and said he was already stressed out over the Luna drama.

Li advised Finn to keep his distance from Sheila and Luna. Finn mentioned that Sheila had been calling him non-stop, but he hadn't listened to any of her messages. "Sheila is so predictable. She comes around every few months to see if you're any closer to welcoming her into your life," Li said. "That's not gonna happen," Finn assured.

Sheila called again, so Finn declined again. He also noticed Steffy's voicemail about meeting with Hayes' art teacher.

In Steffy's living room, Sheila told Taylor that Luna said she was leaving town. She also noted how hard it was to say goodbye. "Yes, I'm sure you two share quite a bond. You're very much alike in all the wrong ways, always causing trouble," Taylor said.

Sheila tried her best to be civil and warn Taylor that Luna was dangerous, but Taylor barely let her get a word in edgewise. She even asked Sheila to leave, but Sheila wouldn't go. "She told me there was something that she needed to take care of before she left town, and I'm afraid it has something to do with Steffy, which is why I have tried to call Finn, leaving him messages, but he is not responding," Sheila said.

Sheila asked where Steffy was, but Taylor refused to tell her. "I know that I didn't give you reason to trust me in the past, but I am asking you, I am begging you to take a chance for your daughter's sake. I'm trying to look out for her, Taylor. I am concerned. Very concerned," Sheila said.

Taylor finally told Sheila that Steffy was at the old Spencer beach house that was being used for Hayes' art school. Sheila was confused because Hayes was supposed to be in his room. Taylor said that the teacher wanted to see Steffy. "Steffy had some issues with their guest artist, Miss Sunshine," Taylor said.

Taylor only said that Steffy was concerned about some inappropriate artwork. When Taylor went to check on Hayes, Sheila found the origami crane, and then the fortune teller. She suddenly realized that Miss Sunshine was Luna and ran out of the house.

When Taylor was alone in the living room, she heard the door and said Sheila's name, confusing Ridge. He was surprised to hear that Sheila was there.

Steffy stood frozen as she stared at Luna's gun and listened to the deranged young woman lament once again. "You kept me from my dad. You're the only reason why I am not in his life, why I'm not in my half-brother's life," Luna whined.

Steffy told her not to say her son's name, so Luna repeated "Hayes" as much as she could. Steffy asked to see Miss Dylan. "She is a bit...tied up at the moment," Luna quipped. She cried that Steffy had no idea what it felt like to grow up without a dad. When Steffy heard a thump from the other room, Luna casually told her that it was Miss Dylan.

"She's fine. She can't help you, though. But you can help yourself. By allowing me to be with my father," Luna said. Suddenly, it hit Steffy that Luna was Miss Sunshine and had made the fortune teller.

"Hayes and I made it together. Our first sibling collaboration. Isn't it cute?" she asked. Steffy was horrified. "You're sick. You're never going to get away with this. My mom knows I'm here," Steffy said. She asked if the drawing of the woman with Xes on her eyes was supposed to be her.

"It's art. It's whatever you make it. Maybe it means that you're blind and that you refuse to see any good in me," Luna said as she waved a gun around. "But it's time to open your eyes, Steffy. Think of how good it would be for Finn to have a chance to know his daughter and his birth mother. That's all I'm asking, Steffy. I mean, what more do I have to do to get you to stop fighting me?" Luna asked.

Luna continued to whine about how hard life was with a flighty single mother. "There was nobody around to keep me safe. It was just me and my selfish, irresponsible mom," Luna cried. Steffy tried to be kind and reasonable, telling Luna that she was sorry she went through all that.

All Luna wanted was her dad, and it turned out that he was right there the whole time. "Always kind to me, a man who I always loved growing up. "And he'd be in my life, Steffy, he would hold me in his arms as his daughter, but you won't let him," Luna said.

As Luna went on and on about how alone she felt, Steffy pointed out she had a mother, an aunt, uncle, and a cousin. That wasn't good enough for Luna. "We know that Finn's my dad now and you still don't care. You couldn't care less that I was neglected, that my mom was a reckless, pill-popping whore," Luna said.

Steffy remained as kind and calm as possible while Luna continued to rant. "I know I haven't always shown you grace. I try to be a forgiving person, but I'm not perfect. I'm trying to move past what happened. I wish things were different. I really wish that we could welcome you with open arms," Steffy said.

"But as long as I live and breathe, you're always going to stand between me and my dad?" Luna cried. Just then, Sheila burst in and tried to get Luna to put the gun down. Luna claimed she was doing this for them. "We can have everything we've always dreamed of. We just have to make sure that Steffy never stands in our way again," Luna said. A horrified Steffy and Sheila looked down at Luna's gun.
