This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy moved into the design office to work as Hope was using the CEO’s desk. Steffy remained resolute to tolerate whatever she had to at Forrester Creations to get the company back. Steffy continued plotting with Daphne Rose. Carter and Hope were incredulous that Dapne just happened to show up and want to work with Forrester. They assumed the word was getting out about Carter’s luxury brand idea. Carter and Hope invited Daphne to come to Forrester to discuss a deal to work together. Alone together in the CEO’s office, Daphne tried to be seductive with Carter. Daphne signed the deal, and Carter seemed open to her flirtations.

Liam was concerned that Bill was acting strange and becoming a recluse at home. He came to visit, startling Bill and Luna when security let him through the gate without warning. The front door was locked but that made Liam even more suspicious. Liam questioned his dad, who claimed he wanted “me time” and that he was fine. Liam suggested that Bill was dealing with feelings from when Luna turned his life upside down. Luna had been listening to the conversation and claimed she felt bad for hearing how much she had hurt Bill with her actions. She continued to tell him how much she had wanted to have him as a father. Bill made it clear he never would be. Bill and Luna talked about their childhoods. Bill confided to Luna about his own father and what he thought of him.

Finn and Steffy talked about their fathers and how Ridge had cheated so many times with Brooke. Finn said the silver lining to the takeover was that Steffy’s parents were back together. Finn thought it would take a miracle for his parents to reunite and talked about the damage that his father did by having an affair with Sheila and lying about Finn’s paternity for so long. Finn noted that Li held grudges.

Li summoned Poppy and Jack to her office to accuse them of having an affair years ago when she was working long hours at the hospital, trying to become a doctor. Poppy had been staying with them and sleeping on their couch. Li thought it was a cover because they were in her bed when her back was turned. Li accused Poppy of keeping Luna’s paternity a secret all these years because Jack was her father. Poppy and Jack denied ever having sex. Li flew into a rage and stabbed Jack with a needle, drew his blood, and did a DNA test. When the results revealed that Jack was not the father, Li apologized for how mean she had been to Poppy and promised to make it up to her.
