On the Wednesday, November 65, 2025, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge crashed Steffy and Finn's Thanksgiving, as Deacon and Sheila reflect on how far they've come in a private dinner of their own.
What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful
Steffy, Taylor, and Kelly prepared food in the kitchen for Steffy and Finn's Thanksgiving feast. Taylor praised Kelly for helping; they ran through the entire food lineup for the dinner. Finn and Hayes returned from the beach, and Hayes was ecstatic about seeing dolphins in the water. Finn wondered how he could help, and Steffy said that any amount of hands doing anything would be great.
Ridge shocked the entire family when he showed up for the meal. He brought flowers for Steffy and Taylor, and told everyone that it was Thanksgiving, and there was nowhere else he'd rather be than with his family. The cooking continued, with the kids helping Taylor and Finn complete the desserts and sides. Taylor poured Ridge a glass of wine and asked what had brought him there. Despite their differences, she was happy to have him there and pleased with the surprise. He admitted he already had a brunch with Eric, Donna, and Brooke, so he was making his rounds.
Taylor admitted that she was doing better now that she had escaped the cycle of Ridge and Brooke. It wasn't doing her any wonders, and now that she's out of it, she's finally thriving. Ridge wanted to help finish the food, but the ladies weren't too thrilled about it. They ran a tight ship, and there wasn't room for any errors. However, they eventually gave up control and took a much-needed break from the holiday's busy chaos.
Steffy believed her mother had handled everything with such grace. She admired Taylor's ability to navigate her trauma, and Taylor highlighted all of the positive aspects of her life, including her career and family. Taylor called Steffy a "dream daughter", and she said, "It has been so amazing watching you turn into this magical force, as a mother, a wife, a businesswoman. It's a really beautiful thing to see."
As tradition dictates, Kelly expressed what she was thankful for: being together as a family. Hayes was funnier, and he just wanted pumpkin pie. Finn was thankful for his beautiful wife and his loving children. Ridge considered himself lucky because of his gorgeous daughter, and he recalled how much Finn had been tested over the last few years. And he expressed how much he loved Finn because he always put his family first. Taylor did the same, and she said her grandchildren meant the most to her. She encouraged everyone to never forget what it felt like to slow things down and come together as a family.
Steffy tried not to get emotional, but it was difficult. She told the family, "I'm just really, really thankful. We're stronger. And we're safe. Safer than we've ever been. And more and more bonded than ever. And having you here, Dad, big surprise. I was not expecting it, but having my parents here together, I couldn't ask for a better Thanksgiving." Steffy's speech choked Ridge up a bit, and he asked for the family to hold hands, but Kelly and Hayes had had enough. The kids were ready to feast their hearts out!
Sheila and Carter applauded Daphne's soundtrack as she rehearsed for her upcoming performance. Sheila and Deacon were appreciative of Daphne's new status as a fan-favorite at Il Giardino. Daphne explained how France didn't have a holiday like Thanksgiving, but she was excited to reflect on what she was grateful for. Carter offered his legal services to Deacon if needed, and the two men agreed to put their differences behind them.
Deacon and Sheila requested that Carter and Daphne stay at the restaurant and join them for a private four-person holiday meal. Daphne felt so welcomed by Deacon and Sheila and was appreciative of everything that they had done for her, but Carter reminded everyone that they had previous plans. Carter had an intimate dinner in mind for the pair, so they had to decline Deacon and Sheila's generous offer.
After they left, Sheila told Deacon how nice it was that he had extended the invitation to Carter and Daphne, given his complicated past with Carter. She reminded Deacon that she was also a new and improved version of herself, and she jokingly showed off her pink toe polish for her remaining 8 digits. She told Deacon she was thrilled with the life they shared and thankful to Taylor for guiding him back to her. Sheila acknowledged the impact that Taylor had on her husband. However, she wanted details about the content of their sessions.
Deacon was taken aback at first, but ultimately, he divulged a bit of what he and Taylor had discussed. She helped him open up about his feelings, which he wasn't accustomed to. Taylor encouraged Deacon to celebrate his wins and to recognize just how far he'd come in life. Sheila said, "Taylor worked wonders. She brought you back to me. I really believe that."
Sheila was so grateful that Deacon had done it all for her, and she asked how his previous meal with Deke and Hope had gone. It went well, and he asked if she thought about Finn and Hayes on the special holiday. She admitted that spending Thanksgiving with her son and grandson would've been a nice gesture, but she refused to obsess over what she was missing.

With Deacon in her corner, she felt the strength to overcome anything. Sheila noticed the wishbone on her plate, and they split it, leaving Deacon with the bigger side. He wouldn't tell her the wish because of the superstition that it wouldn't come true. For Sheila, she already got her biggest wish, which was to reunite with the man that she loved.
