B&B Full Episode Recap | Finn to Sheila: Luna is not Daughter of Mine - Thursday, April 17, 2025

In Thursday's The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, the drama boils over as Sheila refuses to take a hint, Finn puts his foot down, and Hope gives Deacon a reality check he desperately needs.

Liam Can’t Drop the Luna Bomb

At the hospital, Liam is doing what Liam does best — lying in a bed and stirring the pot. Bridget is trying to get him to chill out and heal, but he’s laser-focused on Steffy’s life choices, because obviously, he knows best. He’s all up in Steffy's business, wondering if Finn being Luna’s bio-dad is about to blow up everyone's lives.

Steffy, Queen of Keeping It Together, brushes him off. She assures Liam that Luna will not be moving into the cliff house and babysitting Kelly anytime soon. Bridget leaves before she gets dragged into Liam’s paranoia spiral, but Liam just can't let it go. He keeps pushing, questioning if Finn can really resist the pull of his "blood ties."

Bless his heart, he’s convinced that Finn’s too nice for his own good. Steffy shuts it down hard — there is zero chance that Luna is going to be part of their family. Not on her watch. Not ever. Liam, take a nap.

Li Lays Down the Law

Meanwhile, in Finn’s office, he’s having a minor existential crisis because, surprise, he’s a human being with emotions. He flashes back to Luna sobbing in his arms, and just when he’s about to spiral, Li storms in like the boss she is.

Li warns Finn about Luna | B&B

Li, who has had absolutely enough of the drama, tells Finn in no uncertain terms that Luna being his daughter changes nothing. She reminds him that Poppy wasn’t just messy — she was predatory. Finn was barely an adult when Poppy decided to play fast and loose with his future. And now? Luna is just a walking, talking reminder of that mistake.

Li tears into Poppy’s parenting (or lack thereof) and throws in a little shade about Sheila’s genes for good measure. Her message is clear: Luna may be his biological daughter, but she’s toxic, and Finn needs to ghost her like yesterday. Finn agrees — no room for Luna in his life, not now, not ever.

Sheila's Fantasy World

Over at Il Giardino, Sheila is doing what Sheila does best — living in a complete fantasy world where her manipulative plans actually work. She’s having a little heart-to-heart with Luna, who’s still crying about her mom cutting her off. (Apparently framing your mom for murder will do that. Who knew?)

Sheila's determined to reunite Luna with Finn | B&B

Sheila’s grand plan? Forget about Poppy, forget about Steffy, and full steam ahead toward a shiny new life where Finn and Luna are a happy little father-daughter duo. Never mind the fact that Finn has made it crystal clear he wants nothing to do with Luna. Details, details.

Luna is terrified Steffy will block any chance she has with her newfound daddy. Sheila, completely unhinged, promises that Steffy will not get her way. Not if Sheila has anything to say about it. She’s determined to reunite Finn and Luna — even if it blows up half of Los Angeles.

Hope Gives Deacon a Reality Check

Meanwhile, at Brooke’s house, Hope decides it’s time for a father-daughter intervention. Deacon, bless him, thinks everything is just peachy. Hope, who clearly inherited all the brain cells in the family, is not so convinced.

Deacon & Hope | B&B

She knows the tea about Luna being Sheila’s granddaughter (no thanks to Sheila running her mouth to anyone who will listen). Hope gently reminds Deacon that, oh hey, Luna murdered two innocent men and helped lock Steffy in a cage. Not exactly the kind of legacy you want at the family BBQ.

Deacon claims he laid down the law — it’s Luna or him — and Sheila supposedly chose him. Hope’s not buying it. She practically begs Deacon to keep his eyes open, because if Sheila gets within five feet of Luna, it’s all over. Deacon nods along, but you can already tell he’s one sad puppy look away from folding like a lawn chair.

Finn Drops the Mic on Sheila

Back at the hospital, Sheila makes her worst decision yet — popping into Finn’s office uninvited to gush about their "new addition" to the family. Finn’s face says it all: he’d rather be anywhere else, including a root canal without anesthesia.

Sheila prattles on about how Luna being his daughter is some big beautiful miracle. Finn shuts her down so hard the windows probably rattled. He makes it crystal clear: he doesn’t care whose blood is running through Luna’s veins. Luna is not his daughter. End of discussion.

Sheila, being the queen of selective hearing, tries to spin it. Maybe if Finn had been around, Luna wouldn’t have turned into a full-blown criminal mastermind! Finn’s not having it. Blood ties mean nothing when you’re looking at someone who killed two people and nearly killed his wife.

He tells Sheila to get out and take her delusions with her. Sheila reels like she just got slapped, but honestly? She should have seen it coming.
