In the Wednesday, December 1, 2021, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy, Liam, and Ridge all vent about the situation with Deacon, Ridge confronts Brooke about her feelings, and Carter does some soul searching. We also have Tuesday’s B&B recap where Ridge threw Brooke’s past transgressions in her face while Liam disappointed Hope.
In the office at Forrester Creations, Ridge tells Steffy and Liam that all he wants to do is protect his family from Deacon. Steffy and Liam feel the same way. Liam doesn’t understand how Hope is falling for this. Ridge is worried that whatever Deacon is planning is going to include Brooke.
They all agree that Hope is completely unreasonable. Steffy suspects she’s trying to re-create the happy family she never actually had with her parents. Ridge refuses to believe that Brooke would ever go for something like that. However, Steffy is sure that Brooke and Deacon have had some sort of re-connection and he should be concerned.
Normally, Steffy would let Hope and Brooke fall on their faces but there are children involved. She lectures the men on their wives self-righteous streak and worries about how much damage Deacon has to do to make it obvious that he’s dangerous.
At Hope’s, she and Brooke tell Deacon that Ridge has gone too far. Hope doesn’t care if no one else believes her father has changed, she does. Deacon promises he won’t let her down again. Brooke smiles at them both and Deacon nods his head.
Hope knows she’s asking a lot from her mom, but she’s always been grateful for her faith. She only wants her to do the same for Deacon. Her mother says giving him a second chance isn’t so easy, but she will see what she can do for her sake. “I’m trying,” Deacon says. He’s taking all the soul-destroying that dealing with Liam and Ridge cause but he’s sure it’s worth it.
Deacon explains how moved he was by Hope’s letter about losing her child. He apologizes for not being there for her. She hugs him. He knows that being back is painful for Brooke, but they also made Hope together. “We will always be family,” says Hope.
