Ridge Marks His Territory While Nick Shoots His Shot

Ridge walks into Forrester Creations and immediately clocks Nick cozying up to Brooke. His greeting? A chilly, “Why are you even here?” Nick acts like he’s in town to chase the sunshine, but Ridge isn’t buying the travel brochure routine. Brooke jumps in to say they were catching up, chatting about Jack and Forrester International, but Ridge wants to know what Nick really wants.

Nick stays slick, showering Ridge with fake congratulations for reuniting with Taylor and guessing that wedding bells must be ringing any minute. Ridge is clearly not amused. He wants Nick gone and not-so-subtly asks if he has a girlfriend to sail back to. Nick takes a beat, looks directly at Brooke and purrs that he’s single. Life on the ocean is his "destiny" - throwing Ridge’s own “destiny” shtick right back at him. Hah!

Once Ridge finally gets his unwanted visitor out the door, he closes it with some extra force and launches into a jealous mini-rant. Brooke insists she didn’t know Nick was coming and defends him as a gentleman. Ridge scoffs loud enough to shake the building and declares Nick a bad guy who should stay far away. Brooke doesn’t respond, but her face says she’s not done processing that kiss.

Taylor and Steffy Try to Keep It Together

Over at the cliff house, frumpy Taylor stops by to check in on Steffy, who’s been juggling kids, trauma, and the endless fear that Luna might pop out of the bushes at any moment. Steffy says the kids are thriving by the beach and Electra’s been a godsend with Hayes and Kelly. She’s relieved the kids feel safe, but she certainly doesn’t.

Taylor gently probes how she’s holding up and Steffy breaks down the emotional chaos. Liam is dying, and she swings between denial, fury and deep sorrow. Taylor knows it’s a lot, especially with Luna creeping around like the stalker she is. They both agree that Finn shouldn’t be feeling guilty about her, but of course, he is. Steffy’s over Luna’s fixation with her husband and even more over not being able to live a normal life without wondering when that unstable woman will strike again.

The tension never leaves and it’s eating away at Steffy. She recalls how Luna showed up when Hayes was at home and the fear nearly froze her in place. She swears her son will never know who that woman is. Taylor nods, but her face says she’s worried Steffy’s on the edge.

Luna Gets Too Close for Comfort

Luna’s lurking is getting bolder by the day. At the beach school, she spies on the kids until Hayes lingers behind to grab something. That’s her moment. She walks right up and greets him like they’re old pals. Hayes doesn’t seem alarmed and when she offers him a paper crane she made, he takes it like it's just another show-and-tell. The teacher calls him back in and Luna flashes a smile that’s more sinister than sweet.

Inside, Hayes proudly shows the teacher the origami and says a “nice lady” gave it to him. If only he knew. Meanwhile, Luna is still skulking outside when Electra arrives to pick up the little guy. He shows off his new gift as Luna fumes from the bushes. It’s a full-on invasion of Steffy’s safe space and Luna’s just getting started.

Sunshine, Smiles and Something Sinister

Back at the cliff house, Hayes presents his art project to Steffy and Taylor, saying a nice lady gave it to him. Steffy thanks Electra for the help and admits she wants nothing more than for the kids to live a normal life, far from the chaos that is Luna and Sheila.

But Luna’s not just handing out origami anymore. She returns to the beach school, compliments flying and the teacher invites her to come back as a guest artist. Instead of running, Luna leans in. She introduces herself with a smile and a fake name: Sunshine. The teacher lights up and invites her to join them more often. Luna beams, knowing she just infiltrated Steffy’s world right under everyone’s nose. That “nice lady” is now in the building. Literally.

Search your security cams, Steffy. Sunshine just made the weather forecast dangerous. This B&B recap proves that when it comes to The Bold and the Beautiful, the most dangerous characters are the ones who smile while scheming.
