Get ready for one of the most intense episodes in The Bold and the Beautiful‘s history! Luna Nozawa’s spiral into madness has reached its terrifying peak with a twisted plan, forcing Steffy Forrester to face death, resulting in multiple people being shot! Simultaneously, the dynamic between Finn and his aunt, Li, takes an unexpected and surprising turn.

Luna’s Rampage: Teacher Held Hostage, Steffy Walks into a Death Trap!

Last week, viewers witnessed Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) discover that Will was attempting to expose her dark intentions on camera. Cornered, Luna went on the run and ended up at Hayes’s preschool, where she executed a chilling act: holding the teacher captive and forcing her to call Steffy! It’s abundantly clear that Luna has set a deadly trap for Steffy.

In Luna’s twisted mind, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is the root of all her problems, the reason she believes her father, Finn, will never truly have a father-daughter bond with her. Luna’s intent is clear and utterly ruthless: to eliminate Steffy forever! This horrifying confrontation is set to explode on the July 7th episode, and the devastating outcome is that more than one person will be shot!

Sheila the Hero or Steffy’s Demise? Gunfire Rocks Los Angeles!

Meanwhile, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) unexpectedly ran into Taylor and pieced together parts of Luna’s insane plan. With her sharp instincts, Sheila raced to the scene. She witnessed Luna pointing a gun directly at a terrified, horrified Steffy. Will Sheila be able to talk her deranged granddaughter out of this?

It appears it will be too late! Luna will fire the gun! The biggest question now is: Who will be the victim? Will Steffy be severely injured, as per Luna’s plan? Or will Sheila shock everyone by taking the bullet to protect her daughter-in-law?! If Sheila sacrifices herself, will this finally be the path to redemption she’s desperately sought, or simply a futile act of heroism? The outcome of this shooting will change everything and lead to unforeseen consequences down the line.

Li’s Surprising Take on Luna: Has She Changed Her Tune?

In the week’s first episode, Finn (Tanner Novlan) will be profoundly surprised by his adoptive mother, Li Finnegan’s (Naomi Matsuda), perspective on Luna. It’s no secret that Li despises Luna, despite her being her niece. Li has always believed Luna has no place in their family and has warned her son Finn against her more than once. Li has absolutely zero trust in Luna, even acknowledging that Luna is capable of extreme, “murderous” intentions, referencing Luna’s past kidnapping schemes and other dark acts.

Given all of this, what could Li’s “take” on Luna possibly be that would surprise Finn so much? Has Li truly changed her mind? Is she attempting to defend the manipulative girl her sister, Poppy, birthed? Or is there a deeper secret behind Li’s unexpected attitude that will leave Finn utterly stunned? This intriguing development will open a complex new chapter for the relationship between Li, Finn, and Luna.

Meanwhile, Liam’s tumor continues to grow, signaling a separate, ongoing medical crisis that threatens his life.

Don’t miss The Bold and the Beautiful on July 7th, where gunfire will erupt, lives will hang in the balance, and shocking secrets will begin to unravel! Tune in to CBS to find out more!
