Yesterday's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful ended with Sheila witnessing something she wished she hadn't, and it left us thinking these four words: "here we go again." She eavesdropped on Deacon's therapy session with Taylor, and then she got an eyeful when the session ended with Deacon and Taylor in a close embrace. Will Sheila's jealousy drive her back to her dangerous ways and the evil life she's been trying to leave behind?

What happened on Wednesday on The Bold and the Beautiful

On Wednesday's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Deacon (Sean Kanan) told his wife Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) he can't get past the secret she kept about her psychotic granddaughter Luna (Lisa Yamada) being alive. After all, Luna killed his friends Tom (Clint Howard) and Hollis (Hollis W. Chambers). He even admitted he's seeing a therapist to help him figure out where to go from here. Sheila asked who the therapist was, and he told her it was Taylor (Rebecca Budig).

It would have been great if Deacon had kept mum about that, but then he would be keeping a secret. So even though we applaud his honesty, he may have inadvertently put a target on Taylor's back, considering that Sheila has a murderous past and she once shot Taylor.

And what about that embrace?

First of all, Deacon was being pretty flirty with Taylor, telling her Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) was an idiot for breaking up with her. "Any man would be lucky to have you in his life," Deacon told her. And even though we could see she was trying to keep their interaction on a professional level, she was a little flirty with him, too. She laughed when he called her beautiful. In one way, we have to show her some grace. After all the heartbreak Ridge has put her through over the years, she must feel flattered to know other men find her attractive.

But Taylor needs to remember she's talking to the husband of the woman who once shot not only her but also her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), her son-in-law Finn (Tanner Novlan), and her friend and once mother-in-law Stephanie (Susan Flannery). Many B&B fans wonder why Taylor accepted Deacon as a patient to begin with. It's a huge conflict of interest. Huge is actually an understatement.

About that hug, what was Taylor thinking? Maybe she views Deacon as a friend, but doesn't it breach some code of ethics for a psychiatrist to embrace her patient? You would think she wouldn't want to give him the wrong idea, since he's in a vulnerable state right now, and he was just flirting with her a minute ago.

We can already see the wheels in Sheila's mind turning

Of course, as soaps would have it, Sheila just had to eavesdrop on their talk, and then she witnessed the embrace. That jealous, evil glare on her face had us wondering all kinds of things. Is she going to revert to her stalking, killing, psychotic self? Is she going to approach Taylor in her office when she's working late one night and everyone else has left the building? Is Sheila going to take a page from her granddaughter Luna's book and lock Taylor in a cage in some remote place where no one else knows where Taylor is?

Please, let's not see any of that. We already have lunatic Luna committing rapes, murders, and druggings. She may be in police custody right now, but for how long? We suspect she will eventually get released for some ridiculous reason, and she will target Electra (Laneya Grace), since Electra is the one who called the cops on her. We don't need another serial killer on The Bold and the Beautiful running around, stalking, and harming people.

But if Sheila does go back to her violent ways, then we can already see what's coming. She will put Taylor in danger. Deacon will play hero and save the day. Sheila will end up behind bars, and Deacon will start a new chapter with Taylor. How would Ridge and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) feel about that? That could be an interesting storyline, but would Deacon and Taylor be a good match? We will just have to wait and see.
