Right back where we started all over again: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops for the week of March 31

The more things change, the more they stay the same, and no soap can say that more than The Bold and the Beautiful. Perhaps that's part of its charm. Sure, you can always expect the unexpected (LIAM!!!), but the unexpected is much of what you'd expect. So, let's dig in.

It was a coup! But not for you...

So, Carter is back in the design office and Steffy is back in Eric's office (since Forrester Creations only has two offices), and everything is right with the world again. Grace and forgiveness are Steffy's middle names, so of course, Carter is forgiven. And Hope is not. After all her hard work sleeping with Carter so he would continue to steal a company for her, Hope is right back where she started when she so innocently fell onto Finn in some hot little Brooke's Bedroom number. She doesn't have a fashion line anymore (for now, give it a month). Not only that, but she's thinking about the one who got away... Uh-ohhh...

And Steffy? Hope is bad! Hope is mean! Bad Hope! Mean Hope! No more sometimes stepsister, sometimes sister wife around here for me! Nope. While Steffy has a point about Hope doing a bad, bad thing when she decided stealing a company would be fun, we're just about through listening to her whine ad nauseum about it.

But back to Hope, who apparently learned absolutely nothing after her meltdown in her mama's arms last week. It seemed to be the moment when Hope finally realized what she did wrong. Except it wasn't. Imagine our surprise when the first moment we saw Hope again after she nearly slapped her own mother, she was whining to her mommy that nobody liked her — and now she had nothing. Wahhh!!! And she still blamed Brooke for all her self-inflicted troubles! WTH???

In fact, Hope didn't even know how she was going to go back to that she-shed on her mommy's property and live there rent-free again. Well, Deacon had an idea. "Why not move with your child to the broom closet above my restaurant, rent-free, honey?" Why, that sounded like it could work, but wait, Hope had to think about that guy that got away. And, she wasn't alone...

Do as I say, even if you're not the one that got away

Steffy seems to do one thing with the utmost perfection — telling people what they should and shouldn't be doing. In recent years, the brunt of all those demands has fallen on her husband. She doesn't care about the man's feelings, conflicted as they may be. She only cares that he does what she wants. And while what she wants is not completely unreasonable, the way she goes about it doesn't work. Rather than telling Finn that he can't see his crazy mother and his crazy daughter, maybe she should understand that even if you're family is nuts, family is family. We know Finn will be breaking bread(sticks) with Sheila and Luna any day now because...the one who got away is having a crisis.

Oh, yes, that one who got away. Over and over and over again. The man of the hour. That amazing man and incredible dad who Hope and Steffy can never seem to get off their minds. Kelly's dad. Beth's dad. None other than...the man who just fell and hit his head. Again.

Lonely, lost Liam is back on the scene

We're not sure why Liam hasn't had his own storyline in nearly two years(!!!), but we're glad to see him back. A little too much Liam is not a good thing, but too little Liam is not good either. And Liam is back with a bang...or should we say a bump? Maybe even a thump.

Who knew Liam would be so affected by his father harboring a misunderstood serial killer in his home for months? Will seemed to shrug it off and we have no idea what Wyatt has thought about all this since he is officially MIA somewhere other than LA. But Liam? Wow. He really, really hated what his dad did for Luna. While we can't blame him, his reaction was one of those unexpected things that came out of nowhere.

When Liam confronted Bill, we thought they'd hug it out in the end and not see who could read each other for filth more. They both had some pretty valid points as father and son know one another well. Neither one is a prince and they have both done Logan and Forrester women very, very wrong (since Logan and Forrester women often seem like the only women in this fictional version of Los Angeles) — and they know it.

As Bill walked out the door in anger, we certainly didn't expect Liam to suddenly stumble around the room and fall to the floor unconscious. Yay for the unexpected! Hitting his head on the way down was a nice touch because this is Liam, after all.

Since Steffy had already told Finn that he must stay away from Luna and told Carter that he couldn't work with Hope, she now had to tell Bill to be nicer to Liam. So, it was Steffy who conveniently found Liam down for the count. The week ended with Liam flatlining, Steffy losing her mind, and Hope waxing nostalgic. Here we go again? Yep. We think so.

Like mothers, like daughters

Let's not forget that Brooke humiliated herself again this week when she begged Ridge to give Hope another chance — and herself. As soon as Ridge called her Logan, Brooke needed her smelling salts and couldn't help slipping in a little "Come home, Ridge" to end the conversation. Or she wouldn't be Brooke. A little line about the Keyhole of Destiny also needed to make its way in there.

Taylor is not about to let the man she won by default go. Oh, no, no. What example would they set for their daughters if they didn't glorify and romanticise the Original Waffler and Still the Best?

Never stop fighting another woman for a man

The younger generation showed their stuff this week when Sheila Jr. offered to be Dollar Bill's son's friend with benefits. How horrifying for Dollar Jr. So horrifying that the girl we hear he's been dating for months shoved Luna with the strength one uses when they try to knock someone over with a feather — and it worked. Somehow Electra was so strong that her little shove pushed Luna right into the couch. And there it was — the Sheila Carter music and smirk, to tell us CBS' most prolific soap villainess has a spawn.

Sheila is much better at this hiding your crazy relative relationship from your spouse thing than her mostly obedient son. Deacon says don't see Luna anymore? Okay, Sheila replies, before sneaking Luna right into her apartment and hatching a plan to steal Will from Electra.

Can Deacon and Sheila's marriage survive her duplicity? Yes, probably. However, we do have to ask how Tom and Hollis were Deacon's very best friends in the whole world. Hollis was his employee and he met Tom about two months before the poor man's untimely death. Deacon doesn't get out much, does he?

At least he'll be there to comfort his precious baby girl when she learns what happened to the one who got away. Till next week, Scoopers, where maybe Liam will wake up and ask for Eve...
