Los Angeles may glitter with sunshine and glamour, but this week on The Bold and the Beautiful,

storm clouds gather over the Forrester dynasty, threatening to upend everything they hold dear.

Wednesday’s episode, airing May 28, 2025, doesn’t just turn the page — it tears the book wide open. With secret alliances, looming tragedy, and a chilling descent into madness, the drama delivers its most explosive arc of the season yet.

As the episode opens, Brooke Logan is in full celebratory mode. A master of high-society spectacle, Brooke has her sights set on the engagement of her daughter, Hope Logan, to the dashing and dependable Carter Walton. Hope, long wearied by heartbreak and betrayal, finally seems ready to embrace a future filled with stability and joy. Brooke, ever the orchestrator, envisions an engagement party that will dazzle the elite of Los Angeles — a glittering affair to cleanse the family of its turbulent past.

But where there’s champagne and candles, there are also shadows — and no one knows that better than Ridge Forrester. Though he entertains Brooke’s grand visions, Ridge is uneasy. Something is off, something he can’t yet put his finger on. As he looks around the Forrester estate, there’s a tension in the air. It’s not just wedding nerves — it’s something darker.

Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester is grappling with a truth she’s been sworn to keep. Despite years of rivalry, she’s recently offered an olive branch to Hope — a move that raises eyebrows across the Forrester and Logan clans. But this newfound civility isn’t rooted in forgiveness. It’s rooted in guilt.

Steffy is hiding a devastating secret: Liam Spencer, her former flame and Hope’s on-again, off-again love, is dying. Quietly and courageously, Liam has confided in Steffy about his terminal illness. He refuses to let his daughters, Beth and Kelly, watch him wither away. He’s chosen silence, preferring to fade quietly from their lives rather than become a source of pain. Steffy, burdened by this knowledge, is trying to cushion the inevitable blow for Hope — making peace, offering closeness, preparing her for the unknowable void that is to come.

Yet on The Bold and the Beautiful, secrets never stay buried.

As the Forrester family begins to fray under the weight of withheld truths, a far more volatile force lurks on the edges: Luna Nozawa. The once-promising granddaughter of Sheila Carter has veered dangerously off course. What began as a fragile romance with Will Spencer has devolved into a consuming obsession. Luna is unraveling — her once-bright demeanor replaced with erratic behavior and alarming fixations.

Luna’s desperation reaches new heights when she sends Will an incendiary message, intended to provoke desire or at least attention. Instead, it sounds alarm bells. Will, taken aback by Luna’s instability, confides in his mother, Katie Logan. Katie, sharp and intuitive, senses the danger. But while she warns Will, he’s already shifted his concern elsewhere — to Electra Forrester.

Electra, the target of Luna’s escalating jealousy, becomes the epicenter of a powder keg moment. In a raw and volatile confrontation, Luna corners Electra in a storm of accusations and unfiltered rage. The fight teeters on the edge of violence until Sheila herself steps in, forcing a truce that feels like a ticking clock rather than a resolution.

For Sheila, watching Luna descend into darkness is like witnessing her own past mirrored in the eyes of her kin. In a rare moment of clarity and desperation, she pleads with Luna to leave Los Angeles. Offers of money, shelter, a new identity — anything to make her disappear and start anew. But Luna refuses. Her fixation has shifted yet again.

Her new target: Steffy Forrester.

Luna blames Steffy for everything — for Will’s distance, Finn’s indifference, and Sheila’s wavering affection. In Luna’s spiraling mind, Steffy has become the barrier to her happiness, and now she must be removed. For good.

Unbeknownst to those around her, Luna has secured a weapon. A gun. She’s hiding it, nurturing her rage like a fire, waiting for the right moment. She watches Steffy with a predator’s patience, calculating her every move. The upcoming engagement party — Hope and Carter’s big night — could be the perfect cover. A sea of people, flashing cameras, distractions aplenty. Or perhaps a more private setting will serve better. Either way, Luna is preparing for something irreversible.

Ridge, haunted by a sense of dread, begins to piece things together. He sees the way Luna’s eyes never leave Steffy, the way her energy changes when Steffy enters the room. His concern builds until he finally shares his fears with Brooke and Finn.

Finn, already emotionally taxed from supporting Liam through his illness, now finds himself in a far more terrifying position — protector. Not just of his wife, but of his children, his home, his very sense of peace. The threat is no longer theoretical. It is armed, dangerous, and very, very personal.

And then there’s Sheila. For all her history of chaos and betrayal, she has one undeniable trait: the instincts of a mother. When Luna finally confesses her plan to take Steffy out — literally — Sheila reaches her breaking point. The woman who once terrorized the Forresters now finds herself torn between her monstrous past and the possibility of redemption through protecting her granddaughter from following in her footsteps.

As Luna teeters on the edge of committing a horrifying act, Sheila faces an impossible choice: betray her blood, or allow another innocent life to be lost.

Wednesday’s episode ends not with a resolution, but with a reckoning looming just beyond the horizon. The engagement party is set. The guests are arriving. And somewhere, among the glitter and champagne, a predator waits in the wings.

This is The Bold and the Beautiful at its most raw, its most human, and its most terrifying. Alliances will shatter. Truths will surface. And before the week is done, nothing will ever be the same.

Tune in, because in this world, love may be eternal — but secrets? They’re fatal.
