John Finnegan Begs

John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) continues talking to Steffy, whose back is turned. The doctor continues to beg his wife.

Steffy flashes back to bedding Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). The lady admits she overreacted, but Finn and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) ruined their special moment.

Finn needs to start standing up for her. Finn says he is done choosing peace with Sheila. He needs peace with his family. The man offers to get a restraining order against Sheila. 

Finn keeps talking about what a perfect wife Steffy is. That just makes her feel even more guilty. Steffy starts crying and pulling at her hair. She has to tell him something.

Carter Walton Perplexed

Over at FC, Daphne Rose Walton (Murielle Hilaire) continues embracing Carter. The man thinks about Steffy.

Daphne asks if she’s already lost him. Carter says she gave him back the ring. She broke her vows by walking out, but she won’t do it again.

‘Til death do they part, she says. Daphne is ready to discuss parenting options. Wow, that was fast. The Nose doesn’t want a life without him.

Electra Forrester’s Threat

In the design office, Bold and the Beautiful recaps for Wednesday confirm that Electra keeps thinking about Will Spencer (Crew Morrow).

Then, she thinks of Dylan. The fake friend sees Electra and offers to leave. Electra makes a snarky comment. (Writer’s Note: What on Earth is Dylan wearing?! It looks like she tried and failed to rob a motorcycle shop on the way to work.)

Electra says her last name is on the building. She can have Dylan fired. (Writer’s Note: Then why don’t you, E? Enough talk and more action.)

Electra suggests Dylan quit. The lady can’t afford to. Electra tells her to stop playing the victim card. Dylan claims she just wants to work.

Electra says Dylan played both her and Will. The lady knows if she fired Dylan, she’ll just run to Will crying. 

Dylan says losing her job will make her homeless again. Electra isn’t listening to this. Dylan will never stab her in the back again.

Will Spencer Questioned

At the beach house, Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom) questions Will. The guy hasn’t been to work lately.

Will says he is the King of Malibu. If Will cares so much about Electra, then why does he keep getting closer to her BFF?

Katie wants to know all about “Melissa.” Will says Dylan is chill, fun, and doesn’t want to be around her crazy cousin.

Katie explains that Dylan knew of the Spencers before meeting Will. She’s an opportunist, Katie warns. 

Will suggests his mom is hating on Dylan too hard. Katie says Dylan showed up before Electra had even finished packing. Will keeps saying Dylan is a good person, and Electra says they have no future.
