Friday, June 14, 2024: Today on Bold and the Beautiful, Katie confronts Bill and Poppy about their

history together; meanwhile, Brooke finds herself compelled to keep a secret.

Thursday’s Early B&B recap: Ridge persuades Brooke to come back and work on the Bedroom Line,

while Hope is charmed by the way Finn takes care of Beth.

At Forrester Creations, Steffy questions Brooke about her concerns for Hope.

Brooke feigns ignorance, prompting Steffy to express surprise at Hope spending an unusual amount of time with Finn, highlighting how odd she finds the situation.

CBS

Brooke downplays Steffy’s implications by labeling Hope and Finn as merely friends.

Steffy counters, highlighting their attendance at weddings and funerals together and their evident connection.

While Brooke concedes the point, Steffy expresses her discomfort with their closeness.

As Steffy continues her passionate discourse, Brooke’s mind drifts away as she recalls a moment when Hope confessed her feelings for Finn, adding layers of complexity to the situation.

“Hello?” Steffy says. “Are you even hearing me right now?”

CBS

She wants Brooke to help her keep Hope away from her man.

She thinks Hope’s a Sheila apologist. Brooke’s not one but doesn’t believe Hope is saying she is fine with Sheila.

Stefy yells that she doesn’t need Hope getting into her husband’s head.

CBS

Brooke doesn’t think Hope’s telling Finn to give his birth mom another chance.

Steffy says she’s implying it with talk of how Sheila has changed.

Brooke says she’s not saying that. She’s saying she might have changed.

CBS

Steffy sighs. It’s a slippery slope. She can’t wait for someone to get hurt or die.

She begs Brooke to talk to Hope and details how she should do it. Try to talk sense into her.

She stomps out and Brooke flashes to learning Hope was interested in Steffy’s husband. She tells herself she is trying but it’s complicated.

CBS

At the cabin, Hope and Finn drink some coffee while Hope thanks him for stopping by to help Beth.

He’s shy about taking a compliment and when she calls him on it, he laughs.

CBS

She always calls him on that.

Hope admits she’s not usually a panicky mom.

They talk about the stories he has from his ER days and Finn’s happy Beth’s on the mend.

CBS

He tells her the same thing as he told her earlier, how to take care of Beth while she’s sick and if she doesn’t get better to call him.

He’s a dad and understands how stressful it can be when your kids are ill.

Hope agrees. She calls him a miracle worker.

He wouldn’t say that. “I would,” she says, cocking her head to the side, swooning a little.

CBS

She hopes she doesn’t get him in trouble. He asks what she means. She clarifies with his wife.

Finn knows Steffy cares about Beth. Hope asks how she can repay him and he shrugs her off.

There’s no need. She hugs him for long moments before he goes.

Once he’s gone, she replays the embrace and smiles to herself.

CBS

Finn returns since he forgot his phone. She’s glad he returned.

It gives her a chance to tell him that he’s had a big impact on her life, not just with Beth or her migraines but it’s much more than that.

She thinks they understand each other and thanks him for showing her how a man should be. “Loyal, forthright, committed, caring, compassionate, loving.”

She knows she shouldn’t nut but can’t stop thinking about him.

He smiles at her and stares at her lips. She can’t stop dreaming about him or wanting him.

She asks if he feels the same.

CBS

He kisses her and pulls her in close as they make out.

Hope rips off his shirt and they kiss before she wakes up from a nap on the sofa.

CBS

“What am I doing? I can’t. He’s Steffy’s husband!”

CBS

At the mansion, Bill listens as Poppy expresses happiness over having moved right into Bill’s house.

He tells her not to get used to it.

CBS

He wants to take her away on the Stella Mars.

She can’t wait and feels she’s dropped into a dream.

They kiss when Katie lets herself in with an apology.

CBS

Alfred at the guard shack let her in. She guesses she should have called first.

She congratulates him.

Katie starts grilling them, wondering why they just now figured that Luna was his kid.

CBS

Bill explains that Poppy was afraid of her love for him which is why she didn’t tell him.

“Oh, we’re already using the L word,” Katie says.

Poppy asks how she couldn’t love him. He’s the father of her kid. Katie asks if Bill’s ready to have them move in.

CBS

“I wouldn’t have asked otherwise,” he informs his ex. He didn’t intend to keep his relationship a secret.

It affects Will and they’ll have to talk with him about this.

Katie thinks once her son is over the shock, he’ll be happy to meet Luna.

Bill’s thrilled he has a daughter, thanks to Poppy. They snuggle on the sofa.

CBS
