The Bold and the Beautiful Recap 08/02: Sheila Insists Steffy Owes Her, Liam Claims He’s Not After Steffy

Top 5 Takeaways:

1. Sheila believes her act of heroism in saving Kelly from drowning now entitles her to gratitude and acceptance from Steffy. In Sheila’s twisted mind, this good deed erases her history of terrorizing the Forresters and means Steffy must let her into Finn’s life.
2. Liam insists his sole motivation is protecting Kelly from Sheila’s influence and manipulation. But fans suspect Liam is using concern for Kelly as a pretense to undermine Steffy’s marriage so he can reconnect with Steffy romantically. His priorities seem dubious.
3. Finn admits to a stunned Steffy that he was unable to resist embracing Sheila after the charges against her were dropped. This hug confirms Finn feels a powerful yet dangerous draw to the woman who gave birth to him despite her criminal past.
4. A furious Steffy questions how she can ever trust Finn again after learning he went behind her back and hugged their worst enemy Sheila, keeping it secret until now. This betrayal shakes Steffy’s faith in Finn’s commitment to protecting their family.
5. Voice of reason Deacon tries to gently warn a euphoric Sheila not to get her hopes up about being accepted as part of Finn’s family, certain that Steffy will never allow it. But the obsessed Sheila remains fixated on her dream of being a mother and grandmother to Finn’s children.

Wednesday’s intense episode of The Bold and the Beautiful was packed with drama as Steffy raged over Finn’s connection to Sheila. Fans are buzzing about the shocking developments in Los Angeles!

At the cliff house, Steffy fumed as Finn described how Sheila heroically saved their daughter Kelly from drowning at the beach. Although relieved Kelly was safe, Steffy angrily lectured Finn for turning his back on a child near the water.

Finn insisted Kelly was only alive because of Sheila’s quick actions. But Steffy glared when Finn suggested she should “cut Sheila some slack.”

Meanwhile, at Spencer Publications, Wyatt questioned Steffy’s reaction to seeing Finn embrace Sheila. Liam agreed Finn seemed susceptible to Sheila’s manipulation. As a “master manipulator,” Liam worried Sheila would put Steffy and Kelly in danger.

At his apartment, Deacon praised Sheila for selflessly saving Kelly. Thrilled by Finn’s gratitude, Sheila hoped he now knew she’d do anything for him and his family. Sheila insisted she just wanted to be “a good force” in Finn’s life.

Deacon was stunned to hear Finn called Sheila “Mom” after the rescue. Sheila felt her dream of being accepted as a mother was finally real. But Deacon warned Sheila not to get her hopes up about being part of Finn’s family.

Back at the cliff house, Steffy refused to call Sheila a “hero” for saving Kelly. She angrily reminded Finn that Sheila had tried to kill them before. But Finn couldn’t get Kelly’s terrified screams out of his head. He credited Sheila with giving him a second chance after he endangered Kelly.

At Spencer, Liam assured Wyatt he only wanted to protect Kelly, not undermine Steffy’s marriage. But he worried “master manipulator” Sheila would take advantage of Finn.

At Deacon’s, he suggested Sheila prove her selflessness by staying away from Finn’s family. But Sheila insisted she deserved Steffy’s gratitude for rescuing Kelly. She remained determined to be part of Finn’s life.

Steffy snapped at Finn again for calling Sheila his “mother.” And she was certain Sheila had been lurking at the beach to stalk her family. But Finn adamantly denied Sheila was stalking them.

When Wyatt accused Liam of wanting Steffy back, Liam swore he just cared about Kelly’s safety.

At the cliff house, Finn told Steffy that Sheila saved Kelly’s life today. But Steffy argued Sheila was still dangerous despite her good deed.

Finn credited Sheila with reuniting him with Kelly after his mistake. Steffy skeptically asked if Finn had thanked and embraced Sheila after the incident.

Finn confessed he hugged Sheila after her charges were dropped, unable to resist his draw to her. A furious Steffy questioned how she could ever trust Finn again after he embraced their worst enemy.
