In the Tuesday, July 15th, 2025 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, CBS takes viewers on another unforgettable ride into the heart of chaos, heartbreak, and long-buried secrets. With Luna Nozawa’s mysterious disappearance, Liam Spencer’s brush with death, and Carter Walton’s dream romance on the brink of collapse, the fabric of every major family in Los Angeles is unraveling before our eyes. What begins as a hospital drama explodes into a layered saga of betrayal, maternal failure, suppressed love, and the unrelenting shadow of the past.

At the center of this emotional tempest is Dr. Lee Finnegan. Her cryptic actions raise major red flags, as it’s suggested she may be secretly hiding Luna after the shocking beachside shooting that left Liam comatose. Luna, who pulled the trigger in a moment still shrouded in ambiguity, is believed to be missing—or worse. But Lee, fiercely protective and morally grey, may have stashed her niece away in a remote location to shield her from both the law and public wrath.

Why would Lee go to such lengths? The answer lies in the deeply fractured relationship between her and her sister, Poppy Nozawa. Their confrontation in the hospital was nothing short of explosive. Poppy’s cruel declaration—“I’m glad my daughter’s dead”—stuns not just Lee but the viewers. In a locked consultation room filled with years of resentment and grief, Lee condemns her sister’s cold detachment and failures as a mother. Their war of words slices through the façade of civility, laying bare years of neglect, substance abuse, and buried guilt.

Yet, Poppy’s viciousness isn’t without purpose. She accuses Luna of bringing chaos and legal danger into her life, perhaps even jeopardizing the safety of innocents like Kelly and Hayes. Is this just bitterness, or is there a deeper truth to the damage Luna caused before she disappeared?

Meanwhile, back in Liam’s hospital room, emotions simmer at boiling point. Bill Spencer, usually the epitome of steely corporate swagger, is a shattered man. His son lies unconscious, fighting for his life, a bullet courtesy of the very woman Bill once believed deserved a second chance. Wracked with guilt, Bill stays by Liam’s side, whispering promises and confessions, hoping his son hears the love he so often withheld.

But the audience is let in on a harrowing truth: Liam has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor—a secret known only to a select few. If he wakes, he may have to grapple not just with recovery from a shooting, but with the knowledge of his own terminal condition. It’s a ticking time bomb in an already grief-soaked atmosphere.

Hope Logan and Steffy Forrester each take turns sitting beside Liam. Steffy, furious with Bill, demands he leave the room, while Hope—torn between her past and present—offers quiet, devastating monologues. It’s clear she’s still emotionally tethered to Liam. Her engagement to Carter Walton now feels like a fragile illusion, one that’s fraying with each heartbeat of the man she once called her husband.

Carter, for his part, sees the writing on the wall. As he watches Hope’s emotional devotion to Liam unfold, his confidence begins to crumble. Their romantic Napa getaway is a distant memory now, overshadowed by Hope’s lingering love for Liam. When Daphne—Carter’s vivacious former flame—returns to Los Angeles under the guise of a design deal, it’s almost too perfectly timed. Old flames flicker dangerously in the shadows of Hope’s new turmoil.

Can Carter resist the pull of nostalgia, especially when his future with Hope seems to be slipping through his fingers? Or will Daphne’s presence help him rediscover a version of himself he thought was lost?

And then there’s Sheila Carter and Deacon Sharpe—offering brief moments of levity that feel like flickers of light in this storm. Their banter about lost toes and missed cookies veils the deeper concern Sheila has for her granddaughter, Luna. Could Sheila be the unlikely ally Luna needs? Her desire to mentor and protect Luna may prove redemptive—or catastrophic.

As speculation brews around Liam’s true medical condition and Luna’s whereabouts, another character quietly steps into the spotlight: Dr. Grace Buckingham. Her strange behavior—furtive glances, hushed phone calls—hints at a possible misdiagnosis or experimental treatment plan. Is there a miracle cure in play? Or is Grace hiding something darker?

With Bill, Lee, Sheila, and Deacon all holding different pieces of the Luna puzzle, this saga is far from over. As families clash and loyalties are tested, The Bold and the Beautiful sets the stage for even deeper betrayals and shockwaves in the days ahead.

Will Luna return from the shadows and reclaim her name? Will Liam awaken only to face the cruelest twist of all? Can Hope find peace in the arms of Carter—or will she be pulled back into the orbit of a love that never died? And will Lee’s actions bring salvation or ruin?

Tuesday’s episode ends with more questions than answers, but one thing is certain: no one in Los Angeles will walk away from this unscathed.

Stay tuned. The drama has only just begun.
