In the Monday, April 3, 2023, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Li begs Finn not to save Sheila’s life and Forresters learn that Ridge and Bill worked with the FBI to get Sheila behind bars.
We also have Friday’s B&B recap where Sheila was rushed to the hospital after a heart attack, Bill and Ridge thanked Deacon for his help, and Stephen lectured Ridge on being gone for so long, not letting the Forrester explain himself.
At the hospital, Li urges Finn to let Sheila die as he grabs the paddles.
Steffy widens her eyes and the nurse waits for Finn while Li mouths for him not to save his bio mother.
The nurse charges the paddles and Finn says, “Clear.”
He uses the paddles on Sheila. It doesn’t help.
The nurse takes off to get “the epi” and Sheila lies there, dying.
The nurse returns and again, Finn uses the paddles.
Sheila’s back. Li asks, “Why?” Sheila flatlines again. Finn shocks her back to life and tells the nurse to notify the cardio team when she comes around.
Sheila says Finn’s name. “My son saved me. You love me.” Li purses her lips and Steffy watches.
They all leave the room and Steffy hugs Finn while his mother asks how he could do this.
Li goes into Sheila’s room. A cop cuffs Sheila to the bed and leaves Li alone with her.
Li says her son may have escaped her but she’ll rot in prison then hell. Sheila wakes up.
At Eric’s place, Bill and Ridge tell the family they’ve been working together to get rid of Sheila and they did so because of Bill.
Stephen starts barking that Sheila should have been in jail.
Lucy yells and then Brooke and Taylor, then Donna says he bribed a judge.
Ridge tells them it was a sting Bill came up with to put Sheila away.
They had to convince everyone it was real.
Ridge hates to say that “This man is a hero.” He puts his arm around his new bestie.
Bill doesn’t feel he’s a hero.
Katie looks skeptical and everyone else stands around looking confused. They’re told that Sheila killed Dr. Garven and Lance Day.
Taylor says this doesn’t make sense.
Sheila was already in prison and Steffy and Finn’s testimony would have put her together for good. “You interfered with that,” she yells.
Bill says she would have gotten ten years, maybe more or less. He doesn’t know but it was about protecting not just them but the kids.
Bill calls it hell making them all doubt and hate him. The kids are too important to him so it had to be done. He needed to protect their futures.
“We had to,” he says, glancing at Ridge. Taylor doesn’t know what to say. Bill’s sorry. Ridge again toots Bill’s horn, even though he can’t stand the guy.
He mocks his clothes. “He looks like a pirate got lost in a mall somewhere.”
Everyone laughs. “The mall?” Bill asks.
Ridge tells them that Sheila confessed and is in police custody.
Everyone mills around happy.
