As the episode begins, Dylan is still confessing to Finn and Steffy that she killed Luna. And even though Finn wanted nothing to do with his homicidal-maniac daughter, he seems kinda pissed about it. At Spencer Publications, Bill sings Katie’s praises to Liam to the point that he makes it sound like a wonder he ever closed a deal without her. At Forrester Creations, Ridge and Brooke are talking about how pretty she is. She also recaps that they are together again and remarried. Yup, we know, Brooke. Just then, in comes Katie.
Bill Thinks Katie Walks On Water
After the opening credits, Liam and Bill pick up where they left off saying how amazing Katie is. Bill insists that his priorities were out of whack during his marriage to Katie. He wasn’t there enough for her as she raised Will. Liam insists that Dad’s being too hard on himself. Is he, though? Anyway, Bill reiterates that he wants Katie to leave Forrester and bring Will over to Spencer. (What Will brings to the table, I have no idea.)
Later, Bill checks his temper on a business call. Hey, that is demonstrable progress. Good on Bold & Beautiful for showing, not telling. Bill is even down with continuing the never-ending journey to self-improvement. He swears to Liam that he’ll never break Katie’s heart again. She deserves to be respected, Bill adds, especially at Forrester.
Brooke and Ridge Don’t Want Katie Back
Speaking of Forrester… at the design house, Ridge and Brooke are surprised that Katie came to the office. She does still work there, she says, doesn’t she? From there, Ridge marvels that Bill has really stepped up for Will. Katie thanks her long-ago fiancé for acknowledging that and announces that she has some ideas to pitch.
Brooke and Ridge aren’t into Katie’s plans. Robin and her team have already set a similar one in motion. Mm-kay, but Katie’s ready to return as head of PR. Can she not? “What is it?” she asks. Ridge and Brooke don’t want to give Robin the boot right now. Wow. (Why does Robin look so familiar? Here’s your answer.)
Finn Forgives Dylan
At the cliff house, Electra and Will seem to feel like they need to defend Dylan. “I’ve never even had a speeding ticket,” Dylan cries. “I’m so sorry.” Does anyone else not get this? She basically dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the West, and now she’s own some tear-stained apology tour. Where’s her ticker-tape parade?
Finn shares that he has conflicting feelings about Luna, but he didn’t wish her dead. “One thing that I know is what Electra just said,” he adds. “You are a wonderful person. Hayes adores you, and so do we. Steffy and I both believe you.” Just like that, Finn forgives Dylan, and they hug it out.
Afterwards, Dylan & Co. recap her mistakes and remorse. Steffy won’t let her beat herself up over being conned by “Miss Sunshine.” Does anyone see the point to this stuff? Are we supposed to feel bad for Luna now? Finn doesn’t want Dylan to mope around. “You have a beautiful life, you just need to reclaim it.” Will and Electra will help with that, they say.
We Haven’t Seen the Last of Dylan, It Seems
As the episode nears its conclusion, Bill leaves Liam mid-sentence at Spencer to “check on Katie.” At that very moment, she is forced to remind Brooke and Ridge of her qualifications for her job, even her stint as CEO. She isn’t hearing any support whatsoever from her sister, who is all into new PR rep Robin’s firm. It’s not personal, Ridge says, it’s just business.
Back at the beach house, Electra reiterates that she wants to help Dylan, and Will reiterates how awesome his girlfriend is. They can’t wait for Luna to be nothing but a distant memory. Will suggests they never even speak of her again. Yes, please, make that happen! Electra agrees, but can they really keep to their pact? Yes, please? Dare we hope?
At the cliff house, Finn and Steffy reiterate all that Dylan has been through and how they all have to move forward. The Luna-cy “has consumed us for too long,” understates the doc. He doesn’t have any more feelings to process because his wife is amazing, beautiful, talented, etc., etc. “I never knew I could love like this till I laid eyes on you.”
Bill Once Again Urges Katie to Join ‘Their’ Family Business
Finally, at Forrester, Brooke frets over how upset Katie was. Ridge has no bleeps to give. Alone with Bill, Katie explains how an outside PR team has usurped her position… in like a week. And as for Brooke and Ridge, “they completely disregarded me,” she marvels. Bill’s take? “They’re idiots.”
