The Bold and the Beautiful recap (March 7): Let the Shill games begin

Sheila is very concerned about what Bill would do if he found out about her relationship with Deacon, but it didn’t stop her for going for one last round with her paramour today on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, the high of their time together quickly wore off as it once more sunk in that she’s playing an extremely dangerous game with the Spencer patriarch. It’s so dangerous that she’s convinced Bill would kill her and Deacon if he learned of their affair.

Moving in with Dollar Bill has given Sheila insight into who he is as a man. As she explained to Deacon, he loves the chase. It’s all heady, excitement, can’t get enough of the woman he’s with until reality sets in about the permanence of their romance and he starts to become distant. Sheila said that one moment Bill wants nothing more than for her to talk to him and open up, and then the next moment he seems like he can’t even stand being around her. The whiplash is confusing her.

Knowing the kind of darkness Bill is capable of, she panicked today over what he could do. In distress she pushed Deacon to promise her that Spencer would never find out about them. Deacon had to soothe and assure her that wouldn’t happen.

But Bill has become suspicious of Sheila’s outings. She went straight to Spencer Mansion after receiving a text from him asking where she was. When she walked in, she told him that she spent some time on Rodeo and when he pointed out that she didn’t have any bags with her, Sheila said she’d gone for the freedom of going in and out of the stores not to actually shop. Yeah, I know, it wasn’t the best lie.

While she was getting them both a drink, Bill let her know that his talk with Liam didn’t endear his son any more to their relationship. She told him earlier that she wouldn’t get in-between him and his sons, which Bill knows, but he also impressed upon her that he informed Liam that she’s aware that she shouldn’t cross him.

Sheila didn’t respond, but the look she gave him spoke to the stand-off these two could very well end up in should the truth about her relationship with Deacon come to light.

What happened today on The Bold and the Beautiful?

At Forrester Creations, Taylor was easing Brooke into the idea of Thomas returning to work on Hope for the Future. She wasn’t a fan of the suggestion, but she did listen as her friend spoke to the line’s sinking numbers and how Thomas could change that. Brooke reminded her that Thomas is the reason her marriage fell apart. Ever the optimist, Taylor pointed out that she gained a friend in her so it wasn’t all terrible.

Thomas also referred to Brooke’s friendship with his mother when he walked in on the two’s conversation. He apologized to her like Hope asked him to, but Brooke was skeptical. He’s promised he’s changed before and he didn’t (at least not to her lofty and hypocritical standards). Thomas spoke to his impulse control issues and why he placed the CPS call which was a result of Brooke threatening to do so herself.

She acknowledged that even if she were to put this behind her, Hope still needs to be considered. Brooke doesn’t trust Thomas with her daughter, but it seems she doesn’t know that Hope orchestrated that whole sit down so she could make a decision on whether to work with him again.

At the cabin, Hope initially tried to tell Liam what was going on and the ultimatum that Steffy gave her, but he cut her off to reassure her that she’ll be able turn things around even with the line being paused. As such, Hope didn’t fill her husband in on the choice she has to make. At least not yet. Instead, she asked him about what’s been on his mind.

Liam told her about his conversation with Sheila and how he still doesn’t understand that relationship, but he smirked over what his father said about Sheila knowing not to cross him. It wouldn’t end well for her and that’s what he’s counting on.

Until next time, Bold fans. Stay beautiful!
