As The Bold and the Beautiful heads into the final episode of May 2025, tensions in Los Angeles hit a fever pitch. The Forresters, Logans, and Spencers find themselves grappling with bombshell revelations, emotional turmoil, and the kind of betrayals that change everything. Friday’s episode, airing on May 30, 2025, promises high-stakes drama and heart-stopping moments that set the tone for what’s to come in the summer.

Thomas’s Shocking Return — and a Question of Paternity

The biggest shock of the week? Thomas Forrester walks back into L.A. just as Hope begins to steady herself emotionally. But he’s not returning alone — he’s bringing back questions that could rock the Forrester family to its core. While in Paris, Thomas stumbled upon something alarming — a DNA report suggesting that Douglas might not be his biological son. Now, he’s on a mission to uncover the truth and confront the past.

Hope is blindsided by Thomas’s sudden reappearance, and even more shaken by his claims. For her, Douglas is her son no matter what, but the idea that someone tampered with the truth years ago — and the possibility that a deeper betrayal lies beneath — leaves her reeling. Will this revelation bring Thomas and Hope back together, or destroy the fragile peace they’ve tried to maintain?

Poppy’s Secrets Begin to Unravel

Meanwhile, Poppy Nozawa’s past continues to cast long shadows over her present. Bill’s growing affection for her has made things complicated, especially now that Luna is becoming more integrated into the Forrester family through RJ. But what Bill doesn’t know — yet — is that Poppy is hiding something that could break his trust completely.

On Friday’s episode, Poppy takes a private phone call that raises suspicions. She’s clearly scared that something from her past might surface. Could it be a former lover? A lie she told long ago that’s finally catching up to her? Whatever it is, she’s running out of time to keep it buried. And with Katie Logan quietly investigating Poppy on her own, the truth may come out sooner than Poppy expects.

Katie’s Bold Move

Katie, ever protective of her family, is no longer content to sit back and watch Bill possibly get hurt. On May 30, she receives a confidential envelope containing the results of a DNA test she secretly ordered. The moment she opens it, her jaw drops — the truth inside could unravel everything Poppy has built with Bill.

But Katie doesn’t immediately confront them. Instead, she seeks advice from Donna, who urges her to tread carefully. Katie must now decide whether to tell Bill the truth right away, or give Poppy the chance to come clean first. One thing is certain — someone is about to get blindsided, and nothing will be the same.

Steffy and Finn: A Storm on the Horizon

Steffy and Finn’s marriage is once again on unstable ground. While they’ve fought to stay united in the wake of Sheila’s “death,” new complications are making things difficult. Finn has been increasingly distant, harboring guilt and confusion about his unresolved feelings for Sheila, especially now that more clues suggest her death may not have been as clear-cut as they once believed.

On Friday, Finn makes a quiet visit to the morgue — and what he finds there leaves him shaken. A discrepancy in Sheila’s autopsy report opens the door to a disturbing theory: what if Sheila isn’t really dead?

As he digs deeper, Finn is torn between protecting Steffy from more pain and uncovering the truth. But secrets like this don’t stay buried long in Los Angeles.

Ridge and Brooke Hit a New Crossroads

Ridge and Brooke have enjoyed a surprisingly smooth stretch in recent weeks, but that peace is about to be challenged. Ridge is distracted by Thomas’s sudden return and growing concerns about the legacy of the Forrester name. He’s also pulled into the drama surrounding Douglas and whether the family has been lied to about the boy’s paternity.

Brooke, on the other hand, is quietly worried that Hope will get pulled back into Thomas’s orbit — something she desperately wants to avoid. Brooke has never fully trusted Thomas, and she fears that his presence could reignite old patterns for her daughter.

On Friday’s episode, Ridge and Brooke have a heart-to-heart that turns into an argument, exposing cracks in their unity. Is their relationship strong enough to survive another family crisis?

Final Teases

By the end of the May 30 episode, expect a cliffhanger that sets up a summer of secrets, betrayals, and unexpected returns. With Katie holding explosive information, Poppy losing control of her lies, Thomas’s shocking paternity bombshell, and Finn uncovering new details about Sheila — the canvas is full of drama that fans won’t want to miss.

Who’s lying? Who’s coming clean? And who will pay the ultimate price for the truth?
