Steffy and Carter’s baby plan is running into challenges on The Bold and the Beautiful. Finn’s reluctance to support the “surrogacy” is one problem that the pair faces. However, there’s another thing Dr. Finnegant may need to be worried about.
Key Takeaways
- Steffy and Carter are hiding her pregnancy by having her be Daphne’s surrogate.
- Finn and Li were shocked by Steffy’s decision.
- Steffy’s appointment has Li becoming suspicious of her daughter-in-law.
Li Monitors Steffy
Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) thought he had the perfect plan to protect his and Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) secret. With Steffy carrying his baby, he decided to have her pretend to be Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) surrogate.
Despite her protests, a reluctant Steffy was forced to go along with the plan. The only people benefiting are Daphne and Carter, who are excited about their baby. However, Steffy’s marriage to Finn (Tanner Novlan) is being tested because of the “surrogacy.”
When Finn told his mother, Li (Naomi Matsuda), about Steffy’s secret, she was shocked. But that wasn’t the only surprise in store for Li. After a blood test confirmed Steffy was pregnant, Li brought out a monitor to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Li was surprised to hear the heartbeat so soon and remarked that it’s strong for such an early fetus.
Li’s suspicions about Steffy and Carter were already raised when Daphne mentioned her brief separation from Carter. Now, Steffy’s pregnancy and the baby’s heartbeat will further increase her instinct. Li’s a smart doctor, and if she begins digging into Steffy’s medical records, she could uncover her daughter-in-law’s secret.
What Will Li Do?
If Li does discover Carter and Steffy’s secret, the big question is what she will do. Li knows the news will devastate Finn, and might be tempted to go along with the baby scheme to protect her son.
However, Li also understands that Finn and Daphne need to know the truth. Finn and Daphne think they have loving, loyal spouses, but little do they know that Steffy and Carter committed the ultimate betrayal. Although Li has kept her fair share of secrets, this is one circumstance where she may not keep quiet.
Li’s going to be caught in a tough conundrum if she uncovers Steffy and Carter’s scheme. No matter what Li decides, her actions will not only cause two marriages to implode, but they might also affect her relationship with Finn.
