Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivers an emotional rollercoaster packed with joyful announcements, tense confrontations, and a looming sense of dread. The Logan, Forrester, Spencer, and Carter families find themselves swept into a whirlwind of exposed secrets, passionate disputes, and unraveling relationships — all triggered by the shocking announcement of Hope Logan and Carter Walton’s engagement.

While the news sends ripples of excitement across parts of Los Angeles, not everyone is quick to offer congratulations. Brooke Logan is over the moon with joy, seeing this moment as proof that her daughter has finally found peace and stability in love. For Brooke, Carter is the epitome of integrity — a rare man in their world of scandal and betrayal. She eagerly begins planning a grand engagement celebration, complete with elegant decorations and champagne toasts.

But not everyone shares Brooke’s optimism.

Ridge Forrester, though outwardly polite, is inwardly skeptical. The idea of co-hosting the party with Brooke leaves him cold. He’s still emotionally committed to Taylor Hayes, and despite his lingering connection with Brooke, he’s not ready to reopen that door. More importantly, Ridge questions Hope’s decision. Is this engagement truly about love, or is it a rebound move following her emotional rollercoaster with Thomas and Liam? Ridge respects Carter, but he worries that his friend might be falling into another savior complex — playing the hero to someone still wounded.

Surprisingly, Steffy expresses cautious support for Hope’s engagement, momentarily bridging the rift between the Logan and Forrester families. But Ridge remains unconvinced, and the tension in the air is undeniable.

Meanwhile, across town, Will Spencer finds himself facing a dilemma of his own after receiving a cryptic and suggestive text from Luna Nozawa. The message — “I want to be alone with you” — throws Will into emotional turmoil. While Luna’s message might be ambiguous, it’s enough to shake Will’s loyalty to his girlfriend, Electra Forrester. He knows better than to hide secrets — especially ones this explosive — and so he turns to the one person he can still rely on for clarity: his mother, Katie Logan.

Katie advises him to tread carefully, warning that timing and honesty are everything. While Luna’s intentions aren’t his responsibility, his reaction is. Encouraged by her wisdom, Will prepares to come clean to Electra — but his plan for honesty triggers a chain reaction that no one could’ve seen coming.

Electra, overcome with suspicion and jealousy, storms into Il Giardino like a thunderstorm in stilettos. Spotting Luna seated alone, she launches into a verbal attack, accusing her of seduction and manipulation. Luna, startled and confused, insists that the message was misunderstood — that she and Will are just friends. But Electra’s fury boils over. Words escalate to shouts. Then — violence. A shove, a scream, and suddenly, the two women are locked in a physical confrontation that stuns the entire restaurant.

And then, just as the chaos reaches its peak — Sheila Carter arrives.

With chilling calm and razor-sharp presence, Sheila cuts through the madness, stepping between the warring women. Her voice, low but commanding, slices the tension like a knife. She addresses Luna not with affection, but with warning — a venom-laced reminder that acting recklessly has consequences, especially for someone connected to her. The room falls silent. Even Electra steps back, unsure whether she fears Luna or the woman defending her more.

Moments later, Will and Katie rush in. Katie is horrified to find her son caught in the middle of a mess that has now become public and deeply personal. And Sheila — ever calculating — watches with a cryptic smile that signals this confrontation was only the beginning.

As the dust begins to settle, consequences loom.

The Hope and Carter engagement party teeters on the brink. Ridge’s refusal to co-host casts a shadow over the celebration. Brooke, while disappointed, refuses to let anything dull her daughter’s moment. She pushes ahead with plans — determined, defiant, and alone if necessary.

Will, shaken and confused, now stands at the heart of a toxic triangle. Katie urges him to make smart choices, warning that his next steps will shape how the world sees him for years to come. Electra, still seething, vows not to forget Luna’s perceived betrayal. Luna, deeply affected by Sheila’s scolding, begins to question how much of her notorious aunt’s darkness might live within her.

And then there’s Sheila — ever the puppet master — walking away from Il Giardino with an eerie calm. Her intervention wasn’t just about breaking up a fight. It was about reestablishing dominance. Sending a message. Reclaiming control.

But the real shock of the episode comes later that evening, just as guests gather for what’s meant to be a joyful celebration.

Liam Spencer collapses.

Despite warnings and worsening symptoms, Liam attends the engagement party, hoping to support Hope from a distance. But beneath the smiles and polite conversation, he’s struggling. Blurred vision. Tremors. Piercing headaches. He tries to hold it together — for Hope’s sake — but his body betrays him.

Mid-toast, as Carter raises his glass and Hope beams with happiness, Liam seizes. The room falls into stunned silence as he collapses to the floor. Hope screams. Carter rushes to his side. The party descends into panic.

And just like that, the entire evening unravels.

Hope and Carter’s engagement is now overshadowed by a medical crisis. Brooke’s dreams of a perfect night are shattered. Ridge, seeing the chaos unfold, wonders if his instincts were right all along. Will — still reeling from the earlier drama — is now thrust into yet another emotional disaster.

Thursday’s episode leaves fans breathless. Loyalties are tested. Secrets come dangerously close to the surface. And in a city where appearances mean everything, the truth has a nasty habit of showing up — loudly, messily, and without mercy.
