In the Thursday, December 29, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful,
We also have Tuesday’s B&B recap where Katie told Carter he would be a great dad, Taylor learned Brooke spent Christmas with Ridge, and Bill baffled Steffy and Finn by taking sides with Sheila and blackmailing Steffy.
The storm continues to rage outside as Steffy asks how Bill could have done this. He’s not doing anything.
She has a choice. If she prosecutes Sheila, Taylor will be behind bars, too.
Steffy asks what’s wrong with Bill.
She can’t believe what he’s suggesting. Finn asks what’s going on. Sheila says, “My son asked you a question.”
Steffy gawps and then reveals that Taylor shot Bill a number of years ago.
Bill never told them he knew it was Taylor, who tried to kill him. Steffy calls Sheila dangerous.
“You can’t defend her.” Bill holds Sheila close to him and rubs her arm as she snuggles in with a small smile. “It’s exactly what I’m going to do,” he says.
Bill doesn’t want to hurt her or Finn. He wants his pain to stop. Steffy says Sheila can’t help him.
She’s a monster. “Maybe it takes a monster to help a monster,” he says.
He starts to cry thinking of his own funeral and that nobody would be there.
He didn’t want to die alone so he decided he’d work so hard to bury the old Bill. To be kind to her, Brooke and Katie.
“The mother of my child.” He sobs that he was labeled a pariah not worthy of being loved or appreciated.
Steffy is baffled by him. Bill says Sheila sees him for who he is and doesn’t balk.
Sheila says they act like they’re better than Bill. Nobody’s perfect, she says.
Steffy can’t believe Bill is siding with the devil… for revenge? Bill says no. He takes Sheila in his arms and they kiss.
Finn and Steffy look on, in shock. Finn asks him not to do this.
Steffy calls him insane but Bill’s tired of living in darkness alone of having his heart broken too many times.
Steffy says he acts like it just happened but he’s the one who hurt people.
Bill agrees. Katie and Brooke, most of all. Sheila says he’s opened up and knows he’s not a victim.
He’s not mad they don’t want him. He doesn’t want to be the man he was with them.
Sheila commends them.
Finn tells Bill he’s not the enemy. He saved his mother! Bill reminds he doesn’t know him well.
He wants a new start and future. “With Sheila?” Steffy asks. Finn says he almost died.
Bill knows what it’s like to hurt people you love and want to make it right.
Steffy freaks out. This isn’t making it right! Bill disagrees. He can’t break Sheila.
She can take care of herself. Bill doesn’t want to make another woman cry again. Steffy says Sheila can’t cry. She’s not even human.
“You’re devoting yourself to her!” Steffy loves Taylor and doesn’t want to see her go to jail. Steffy’s confused.
She tried to kill her years ago! She can’t believe that Bill is blackmailing her.
She will press charges. Bill denies that she will. He tells her to take his deal or leave it. Steffy sobs.
