In this emotionally charged episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope finds herself standing at a painful crossroads. Carter pours his heart out to her, declaring a love reborn from regret and a longing to shield her and Beth from life’s turmoil. His vulnerable confession culminates in a quiet proposal—not of marriage, but of partnership, of healing, and shared futures. As Hope hesitates, her heart bruised by past betrayals and stirred by Carter’s sincere words, a shadow looms.

High atop the cliffs of Malibu, Liam reveals a secret of devastating magnitude—he’s dying. An inoperable brain tumor threatens his life, and his silence, driven by fear, now hangs by a thread. Stephie, torn between loyalty and morality, refuses to let Hope live in ignorance. She vows to deliver the heartbreaking truth, knowing it could change everything.

Meanwhile, in the background, a quieter danger brews. Daphne Rose, who once seemed like just another intern, begins to manipulate with surgical precision. Her fixation on Carter drives her to subtle sabotage—sowing seeds of doubt, playing emotional games, and positioning herself to sever the bond between Hope and Carter. Though her tactics remain psychological for now, the question remains: how long before desperation gives way to something darker?

As love is tested, alliances shift, and secrets threaten to explode, this week promises an unforgettable turning point for the lives of Hope, Liam, Carter, and Daphne.
