More The Bold and the Beautiful
We wrap up the week with Hope (Annika Noelle) trying to wrap her head around Liam (Scott Clifton) dying. She asks Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) if he really didn’t want her to know, and Steffy says he didn’t want anyone to know.
Liam meets Bill (Don Diamont) at Il Giardino. Bill is glad Liam reached out because he’s upset at how they left things. Bill admits he’s been pushing because that’s what he does. He’s very sorry and he loves Liam so much. He said so many things he didn’t mean, and Liam says they both did. Bill hopes they can move past it, and Liam agrees, saying life is too short. Liam has something he needs to tell him.
Finn (Tanner Novlan) tells Luna (Lisa Yamada) it’s not ok for her to show up at his house unannounced, but she says she just wants to know him. (Not surprisingly, she’s back to being the sweet, unassuming double murderer and not the cunning criminal mastermind who has been harassing Will) Finn points out she’s known him her whole life, but she says she has so many questions now that she knows he’s her father. She wants to know if he wants to get to know her.
As Bill presses Liam to know what’s on his mind, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) pulls up a chair and, despite Bill’s protests, sits down and thanks him for giving her granddaughter a second chance. It’s the last thing Bill wants to hear.
Hope can’t believe Liam doesn’t want anyone to know, and Steffy says he doesn’t want to be a burden. Steffy says his tumor is inoperable, but Hope wants a new specialist for more opinions because she can’t lose him. “We can’t lose him,” she says.
Sheila says Bill has been treating Luna like she was her daughter, going so far as to get her pardoned. Liam (after saying “this is killing me,” in a very not ironic way) reminds Sheila that Luna killed two men, but Sheila points out that Bill thought she was his daughter. Sheila knows the emotions are hard to turn off and she points out that if Finn had been in her life, maybe she never would have done those things. Bill isn’t so sure.
Luna says she was meant to be this person all along now that she’s found him. He doesn’t disagree, but she’s been waiting for this moment her whole life. When he says he’s sorry, she says he’s only saying that because of Steffy.
