Secrets, Sobs, and Sass: Finn Drops a Truth Bomb and Liam Plays the Lonely Card (Again)

The Bold and the Beautiful served up some serious drama today with Finn standing his ground against Poppy’s pleading, Liam wallowing in self-pity, and Luna trying (and failing) to deal with her ankle monitor blues. Meanwhile, Steffy continues to be the glue holding everyone together—while unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb. Let’s dive into this full episode recap of B&B!

Finn vs. Poppy: The Showdown No One Asked For

Poppy warns Finn not to tell Steffy about Luna

It’s a hard day to be Poppy, y’all. She waltzes into Finn’s office, hoping for a miracle, but instead, she gets the verbal equivalent of a brick wall. Finn is done with the secrets and lies, and he’s about to blow his own life to smithereens by confessing the truth to Steffy.

Poppy, ever the drama queen, insists that if he spills the beans about Luna being his daughter, he’ll risk losing Steffy forever. Finn, however, is not here for the guilt trip. He basically tells her, “You already robbed me of a lifetime with my daughter. I’m not letting you take my honesty too.” Mic drop. He’s ready to face the fallout, but the question is—is Steffy?

Liam’s Life: A Soap Opera of Sadness

Over at the cliff house, Liam is putting on his usual performance: Lonely Ex-Husband Who Regrets Everything. He and Steffy have a little heart-to-heart about Kelly, co-parenting, and, of course, his never-ending misery. Steffy, being the nurturing soul she is, asks if he’s taking care of himself. His answer? Something about reading, working out, and buying a parrot.

Steffy looks concerned—as she should—but Liam assures her he’s fine. (Spoiler: He’s absolutely not fine.) Oh, and did we mention? It was his birthday yesterday, and literally, no one but Wyatt acknowledged it. If that’s not a walking advertisement for karma, we don’t know what is.

Luna’s Ankle Monitor Meltdown

Luna under house arrest at Bill's

Over at Bill’s mansion, Luna is getting a serious dose of house arrest reality. The air conditioning is broken, she can’t swim because of her ankle monitor, and—gasp—she can’t go to the beach. The horror!

Bill, in full tough-love mode, reminds her that she’s lucky she’s even out of prison after nearly adding Steffy to her body count. Luna gets emotional and says she doesn’t want to be defined by her past. Sweetie, that’s great, but you killed multiple people. Maybe a little reflection time is in order?

Still, she’s holding onto a sliver of hope that she can rebuild her life and her family. She just needs everyone to stop seeing her as a psycho. (Good luck with that, girl.)

Finn Walks Out on Poppy (And We Cheer)

Back at the hospital, Finn gives Poppy one last look of disappointment before officially peacing out. Poppy pleads with him to reconsider, but Finn is not budging.

He knows that once he walks into that cliff house, his life will never be the same. The secrets, the betrayals, the fact that he just keeps bringing trauma into Steffy’s life—it’s all too much. But at the end of the day, he chooses truth over comfort.

With one final icy stare, he tells Poppy to get out of his way and leaves. Honestly, we haven’t seen this level of cold, hard determination from Finn since he kicked Sheila to the curb. And we are living for it.

Steffy’s Birthday Surprise for Liam (Sigh.)

Just when we think Steffy is about to get a drama-free moment, she does the sweetest thing for Liam. After listening to his pity party, she disappears into the kitchen and returns with a cookie. A single. Sad. Cookie.

With a candle.

For his birthday.

Cue Liam looking like a kicked puppy as he blows it out and thanks her for remembering. He then tells her that she and Finn are meant to be together forever. Okay, Liam. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Finn Comes Home—And It’s About to Go Down

Meanwhile, Steffy is vibing in her own world, tidying up when Finn finally comes home. He takes one look at her and knows—this is going to hurt. Steffy, ever the doting wife, welcomes him with open arms, completely oblivious to the atomic bomb he’s about to drop.

As he holds her, his thoughts are racing: How do I tell her Luna is my daughter? (Spoiler: Probably not well.)

And with that, we’re left hanging. Because of course we are.

Final Thoughts: B&B is Not Here to Play

This episode of The Bold and the Beautiful brought all the soap staples—betrayal, heartbreak, and one very sad birthday cookie. Finn’s about to turn his marriage upside down, Liam is one step away from adopting a parrot, and Luna is feeling just a tad stir-crazy in Bill’s luxury prison.

With Finn about to drop the truth bomb of the season, one thing is certain: The cliff house is about to live up to its name, because someone is about to fall off the edge—emotionally, at least.

Stay tuned, B&B fans. This is just the beginning.
