This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy did her best to hide her horror when she read Finn’s text telling her that Liam was dying. Meanwhile, Steffy replied to Finn and told him that Liam was at their house dancing with Kelly. Bridget sobbed about Liam’s diagnosis. Finn asked if Grace and Bridget were sure they were correct, and they assured him that a neurologist agreed Liam had no hope. Finn went home and explained what he knew to Steffy while Liam read a book to Kelly at bedtime but his eyes kept going blurry. Kelly was still awake but Finn went to the living room and asked Steffy what was wrong. Finn finished reading the book to Kelly and promised to always be a second dad to her. In the living room, Steffy stunned Liam when she told him that he was dying and what Finn had shared with her. Liam was determined that he wasn’t going to accept a death sentence, no matter how doomsday Finn and Steffy were determined to be about his fate. Without further consultation, Liam accepted the news.

Brooke lamented to Eric that she missed Ridge and he couldn’t understand why they weren’t together. Eric told Ridge that Brooke was his destiny and that he didn’t get why Ridge left her because she was CEO during a temporary situation. Ridge hadn’t quite gotten to the point of downplaying the coup where Logan was concerned and continued being with Taylor.

At the Forrester Creations fashion show, Steffy greeted special guests as they arrived. Influencers like Markell Washington, and Y&R crossover Christine Williams arrived. Heidi Pratt collaborated with one of her songs for the show, and her husband Spencer was keen on eyeing the crystals in Ivy’s line. Charlie got kerfuffled by the amount of keys on his chain when the vault was used for a dressing room and the door lock malfunctioned.

Everyone but Steffy seemed surprised when Taylor showed up to support the fashion show. Brooke told Taylor she didn’t belong there and wasn’t part of the family. Eric secretly plotted with Brooke to wear a showstopper wedding gown that was similar her Portofino wedding dress. Taylor accidentally got locked in the vault with Brooke, who flipped out that she might miss her showstopper moment. They got the door open just in time, and Brooke sauntered slowly down the runway as Ridge watched in awe, and Taylor and Steffy gasped from the sidelines.
