Thursday March 13, 2025: Today on Bold and the Beautiful, Li lectures Poppy for taking advantage of her son, Ridge and Taylor says Bill is despicable, and Sheila and Deacon discuss Luna’s DNA.
Wednesday’s B&B recap: As Li strangled the life out of Poppy, everyone was shocked to learn that Luna had been pardoned and is free.
Poppy gasps and begs as livid Li chokes her in her office. She grips her sisters hands until she finally lets go.
As Poppy gasps for air, she insists what she did with Finn was nothing sordid or dirty. Li doesn’t know how she can possibly say that.
Li warns that she could still kill her for taking advantage of her son. Poppy protests that he was 18 and they cared about each other.
Her sister was sure it was a con and she just used her son. Because of that, his cousin is his daughter.
“He gave me a beautiful daughter at least,” says Poppy. Maybe she still has a chance at a decent life…
Li accuses her sister of never facing the consequences for her actions, just like her daughter. She declares they are both horrible.
Li orders her out of her life. “You are not my sister!” she declares.
At Bill’s, Steffy and her family are shocked as Baker announces that Luna is now a free woman. She’s been officially pardoned.
Luna is thrilled. Finn doesn’t know where to look.
Steffy thinks this is insane and Taylor orders Baker to fight this. He explains he can’t do anything but adds that if she slips up again, she’ll wind up back in prison.
He’ll be keeping a close eye on her.
Once the cops leave, Steffy accuses Bill of doing this. Ridge assumes it must have been Bill.
Luna gasps, “I’m free!”
She doesn’t blame everyone for not being able to stand her, but she hopes a bit of Finn is happy for her.
Steffy barks at her to stop being delusional and her mom vows to fight this pardon.
Luna gets they are angry, but tells her dad that things could be different. Taylor doesn’t want to hear any more about her traumatic childhood.
Bill orders the interlopers out of his house. Ridge lectures him for being despicable and storms off with Taylor.
Steffy orders Luna to stop calling Finn “dad” and decrees that she will never be part of their lives.
Luna tears up. Finn looks at her and sighs as he exits with his wife.
Once they are left alone, Luna asks Bill to confirm that he had her pardoned. He admits it. They hug.
She wonders if he’s regretting this. He asks her to show her gratitude by being the best version of herself.
She needs to go too. Luna understands and tells him she will find a way to reward his kindness.
He has to go to a meeting but wants her gone when he gets back.
After he exits, she sits and thinks of Finn and smiles. “I’m not going to lose you now,” she says.
The shrink doesn’t use the word “hate” lightly, but she hates Bill. Ridge says no one can stand that guy.
At the cliff house, Steffy tells Finn that only Bill would have been stupid enough to get Luna pardoned. She doesn’t buy all this trauma stuff.
Now Luna is out and free. There must be a way to get her behind bars. Steffy is determined to put her back there for good.
Steffy says she could accept Luna being his daughter if she were in prison. But Sheila and Luna means psychos surround them.
She begs her husband not to let himself be vulnerable to his daughter like he was with his mom.
After Finn hugs her, she rails about how Bill’s stupidity has destroyed their lives. Luna obviously wants a relationship with Finn and that can’t happen.
She tells him he needs to do all in his power to put Luna away for life. “I know,” he says, stroking her hair.
As Il Giardino closes down for the night, Sheila notices that Deacon is staring into space and looking lonely. He admits that every time he sees Poppy, he can’t help think of what Luna did to Tom and Hollis.
She pours them drinks as he complains about how unfair it is that they’re gone.
He doesn’t want to hate on Poppy but part of him doesn’t trust her since she raised the “monster.”
Sheila says that if he thinks DNA determined this, Tom must be to blame too.
She never thought she’d hear herself say it, but some people do deserve to be locked up. If anyone does, Luna does.
