Bold and Beautiful March 21st Recap: Tensions Rise as Bill and Ridge Work to Take Down Sheila While the Forrester Family Focuses on Fashion Creation and Personal Struggles

In this episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, tensions are high as Bill and Ridge work to take down Sheila, who has been causing trouble for their families. Meanwhile, Thomas is focused on being a better person, and Steffy is beginning to wonder how involved their father, Ridge, even wants to be in their lives.

At Forrester, Thomas is excited about his latest creation, and Steffy gushes over it. She asks him out on a date, but he asks for a raincheck. Meanwhile, Hope comes in and is enthusiastic about the new design. Thomas thinks they’ll take Hope For the Future to new heights, and Steffy watches as they interact.

Steffy begins to worry about their father’s absence and wonders how involved he wants to be in their lives. Thomas tells his sister that he’s focused on being a better person, and she’s really proud of him. However, Thomas hopes their dad feels the same way.

Meanwhile, Bill and Ridge are in the FBI unit, and Ridge wants Bill to get back to his house and get a confession from Sheila. However, Spencer is on a donut break, and they recap what’s going on and how their families will be safe from Sheila once she’s put away again.

At Bill’s place, Sheila takes a call from Deacon who wants her to come over urgently. In the FBI unit, Bill confirms there’s no way Sheila can find out her phone is bugged. He wonders why Deacon wants her to come over and worries about them thinking he’s onto him. Bill has sacrificed too much for this thing to fall apart now.

At Deacon’s place, he tells Sheila they need to talk. Sheila asks what’s going on, and Deacon explains that Hope stopped by the restaurant when they were on the phone earlier. She’s finally proud of him, and Sheila realizes he’s worried she’s going to find out about them.

Back at the FBI unit, the agent confirms to Ridge and Bill that Sheila went over to Deacon Sharpe’s apartment. Bill feels he should have left her in jail, but Ridge argues she would have found a way to go out. Bill nods and says that she has to go away for first-degree murder. The agent warns Spencer that Sheila trusts him and believes he controls her freedom. Spencer warns that if she gets an inkling of a set-up, she’s gone.

At Forrester, Steffy watches Hope and Thomas working together on the sketches. She asks Hope if she’s going to be able to work with her brother, and Hope says she already talked to Liam and that she and Thomas are getting along great. Steffy wonders how this is all going to play out, considering Liam’s feelings about her brother and hers. Hope asks what she’s insinuating.

In the FBI unit, Ridge assures Bill that he’s Sheila’s number one guy. “You can give her things Deacon can’t,” he says. Bill goes over how difficult the ruse is to keep up and how intensely frustrating it is. Ridge insists it will pay off. Spencer complains that this was supposed to be a slam dunk, but they’ve had to go way past that. “I’ve had to reach for things in my life that I put away a long time ago. How long? How long do I have to play this broken lost man whose only found love in the arms of Sheila Carter? Sheila Carter!!!” Ridge says he’ll have to do it as long as it takes to get a confession from Sheila.

As tensions rise and the plan to take down Sheila unfolds, the Forrester family continues to work on their fashion line. Thomas is determined to be a better person and create something beautiful, while Steffy worries about their father’s absence and wonders how involved he really wants to be.

Meanwhile, Bill and Ridge work together to bring Sheila to justice and keep their families safe. But as they struggle to keep up the ruse and get the information they need, their frustration and anger grow.

Will Bill and Ridge be able to get the confession they need to put Sheila away for good? And will the Forrester family be able to overcome their personal struggles and succeed in their fashion line? Fans will have to keep tuning in to find out.
