Kat’s more than a bit impulsive, and what she does is about to rub Tomas the wrong way.

The Bold & the Beautiful

Last Week...

Brooke confronts Katie, and Donna’s kicked out. The Forresters reel from the reveal that Hope is Katie’s “visionary.” Over at Spencer, spirits are running high as Team Logan celebrates their big win. Well, except for Hope, who will continue to make us wonder whether this has happened.

Brooke unleashes on Katie, and Eric won’t forgive Donna. As the Forresters work to minimize the damage, we’re left to ask, “What damage?” The Hope fallout extends to a terrible twist of trouble for Dylan. Eric is deeply hurt that his wife didn’t fill him in on the goings-on at Logan.

Brooke and Katie pump up the volume on their showdown as Electra has a snit fit. Electra struggles with the fact that Will didn’t warn her about Logan’s jewelry line. After the HOPE by LOGAN launch, Brooke heads to Logan and makes it clear to Katie that their feud is just beginning.

Hope stands her ground, and Electra squares off with Will. Ridge and R.J. compare notes on how badly they think it’s going to go when Brooke comes face to face with Hope. Speaking of whom… Hope handled her job switch so terribly that she’s left to beg for forgiveness as she tries to mend broken relationships.

Hope collapses, and Electra threatens to leave Will. Deke tells Remy that he isn’t ready to give him another chance. Will faces the consequences of keeping the truth from Electra. Maybe he’ll finally realize she’s way too immature for a relationship? Brooke’s anguish over Hope’s defection leads to a dramatic breaking point.

Are Hope and Liam prepared to be booted out of her mother’s mansion?!

Coming Up...

Liam finds Hope napping on the catwalk, Ridge locks horns with Bill, Electra’s snit fit rages on, and Sheila finally signs those divorce papers.

Monday, July 6:

Electra comes to a heartbreaking decision, presumably that she must dump Will. Also presumably, Will will then breathe a sigh of relief that that’s over with! He should be thinking the same thing about his girlfriend that fans are. (Read their take here.)

Liam discovers that Hope has collapsed on the runway after her emotional confrontation with Brooke. Was it stress that caused Hope to faint… or something more serious?

Tuesday, July 7:

We can’t imagine why, but Ridge delivers an ultimatum to Electra. “Stop whining or else,” perhaps?

Meanwhile, as the fallout from Hope’s defection intensifies, Finn does what he can to support Steffy. While shirtless, naturally.

Wednesday, July 8:

You wouldn’t think Ridge would have time to get involved in the love lives of Forrester’s JV staff, but he does, going so far as to try to sway Electra’s opinion of Will.

As foretold, Sheila moves in for the “kill,” making her intentions crystal clear to Deacon and Taylor.

Thursday, July 9:

Finn is caught off guard by an unexpected visitor.

Deacon’s marriage to the eight-toed psycho officially comes to an end.

Friday, July 10:

It seems like (bad) old times when Finn is caught in the middle. On the plus side, maybe he’s finally getting a storyline?

Taylor begins to question whether Sheila has really changed or still poses a threat. We’d wager she’s changed so long as she gets her way, but when she doesn’t, she’ll live up to the promise of this creepy Bold & Beautiful promo.

How did Deke’s collection completely change overnight? Why is Brooke obsessed with “yachts and jets and money” all of a sudden? Does the concept of trade secrets completely elude Electra?

Patty goes psycho over Diane, and Jill and Billy get emotional. Kyle and Traci react to Patty’s latest move the same way they have to all of her previous moves: They worry! Diane isn’t waiting for cavalry to ride to her rescue. Oh no, she’s plotting her own escape, thank you very much. “Jill forces Billy and Cane to settle their issues”. But “Jill tries forcing Billy and Cane to settle their issues” is more likely what it means.

Jack puts a dangerous plan in motion, and Cane makes Billy an offer. Jack sets a trap for Patty. What? A catnip toy? A saucer of milk? Good thing “Lane” are on good terms, ’cause Cane asks Lily for a favor. Billy sabotages Sally’s latest venture — and perhaps his own relationship in the process! Is there anything the nepo baby can’t screw up?

Nikki awakens, and Cane grills Matt. Victor plays his cards close to the vest. Which is a neat trick, considering the game he’s playing is probably chess. Stephanie and Nate discuss his past — maybe with an eye on his future at the same time? Nick and Noah aren’t buying what Matt Clark is selling.

Patty stabs Jack, and Kyle rescues Diane. Jack plays a dangerous game with Patty. Kyle’s plan to rescue Diane takes an unexpected turn.

Hey, Stephanie, what happened to doctor/patient privilege — did you really have the right to share Nikki’s medical information with Holden?!

Coming Up...

Desperate measures are taken to protect Jack and Diane, Victor takes charge of Nikki’s care, and Cane finds yet another way to surprise Lily.

Monday, July 6:

Phyllis knows a thing or two about picking up the pieces. So maybe she’s the ideal person to help Matt Clark start a new chapter.
