GAME OVER!! Hot Update!! Katie & Sheila And Deacon Drops Breaking News! It will shock you!
Katie asks Poppy if she and Tom were lovers. Katie spent time in the Forrester Design Studio researching the music event Bill and Poppy had attended. She gasped when she realized Tom Star had been one of the artists at the event. At Bill’s estate, Poppy told Bill that she wanted to be close to him after Katie had given her the third degree. Bill revealed that he had been the target of Katie’s rage on more than one occasion but assured Poppy that Katie was harmless.
As Brooke sat in a chair getting her hair and makeup done, she informed Ridge that he could select another model to pose for the Brooke’s Bedroom line. Ridge reassured her, saying she would blow everyone away as she did in the past. Hul walked inside the room and was startled by a reproduction of the original bed from the Brooke’s Bedroom promotion. Steffy mentioned Brooke’s infamous red teddy and how she was sprawled on the bed. Brooke replied that her sprawling days had ended but implied that Ridge could attest to the red teddy’s existence.
Brooke’s nerves returned, and Hope tried to help her mother overcome her anxiety. Steffy doubted Brooke was the right model for the collection. As tensions rose, Finn arrived, and Steffy was glad to see him. Ridge assured Brooke that beauty is timeless, and they shared a kiss. Steffy’s response made Finn realize she did not want Brooke featured in the project. Meanwhile, Hope remembered telling Finn she thought he was cute.
Deacon stood behind the bar at Il Giardino, a completely empty restaurant. Bill walked in and asked if Deacon could squeeze him in. Bill questioned why the health department had not closed the business. Deacon replied that the eatery had been thoroughly inspected and cleared to continue operations. Bill took repeated shots at how two overdose deaths could be bad for business. Deacon stated that the probe was ongoing and wondered if Tom and Hollis had been targeted and killed in a way that made it appear they had overdosed.
Deacon stepped away to take a phone call when Justin Barber entered the restaurant to converse with Bill. Bill thought they needed to stop bumping into each other to avoid rumors. Justin asked if Bill had received the Dodgers-Astros tickets he had sent, which were more about a potential acquisition than the game. Bill smiled and informed Justin he was delighted they resolved their problems. Deacon returned as the two men embraced, recalling seeing Justin at the restaurant the night Tom died. Justin appeared uneasy.
Deacon mentioned that a power outage the night Hollis died rendered the security cameras inoperable. Deacon proposed Sheila as the primary suspect in any potential wrongdoing, but Deacon argued she had done nothing wrong and begged Bill to stop attacking the women in his life. Deacon inquired how Bill would react if he began trash-talking Poppy. Bill replied coldly, noting he had not met a known murderer. Deacon stated Sheila was not involved and believed the killings were premeditated. Justin appeared uneasy again.
Later, Poppy was alone when Katie walked in through the French doors. Poppy was displeased to see Katie, who smiled and announced she had discovered something new about Poppy and Bill’s meeting. Katie inquired whether Poppy was still keeping the secret that Bill was Luna’s father and why she had waited 20 years for a DNA test. Poppy claimed to be sad since she hadn’t heard from Bill after their one night together. Katie asked if Poppy and Tom had a relationship and if Tom was her lover. Poppy laughed but grew enraged, demanding Katie stop making accusations. Katie persisted, and Poppy looked at her coldly.
Katie uncovers Tom and Poppy’s secret and spills the beans to Bill. Katie becomes increasingly persuaded there is something concealed in Poppy’s history and will go to any lengths to uncover the truth, particularly to reveal it to Bill. Spoilers indicate Katie will conduct background checks and maybe even smuggle DNA to find evidence of Poppy and Tom’s romantic involvement. Tom’s backpack, potentially containing incriminating letters, has disappeared, but Katie may find other ways to connect Tom and Poppy. An unexpected character might accuse Poppy of Tom’s murder, revealing more about Poppy’s past and connections.
Stay tuned for the latest details on this unfolding drama. Bold and the Beautiful teasers imply Katie will make some bombshell revelations soon, so stay tuned for more twists and turns.
