Weekly Recap
Monday, September 7, 2026 – Episode 9859
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) were caught completely off guard when Finn (Tanner Novlan) arranged a dinner with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) at the cliff house. Finn believed getting the two couples together would be a good way to support Carter and Daphne as they considered their options for having a baby, but Steffy and Carter were painfully aware of the secret they were keeping after their night together. Meanwhile, Katie (Heather Tom) tried to keep an open mind about Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship with Dylan (Sydney Bullock). After her confrontation with Darcy (Kelly Sullivan), Katie had reason to reconsider some of the assumptions she’d made about Dylan, even if she still wasn’t convinced Dylan was the right woman for her son.
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 – Episode 9860
Daphne faced the truth about her fertility situation and began seriously considering surrogacy as the path that could finally give her and Carter the family they wanted. The possibility came with complicated emotions, especially because Carter was carrying a secret about his night with Steffy that Daphne knew nothing about. Dylan, meanwhile, surprised Darcy by opening up about more of her difficult past. Her mother was already fiercely protective after meeting Katie, and Dylan’s revelations gave Darcy an even clearer picture of what her daughter had endured before building a new life in Los Angeles. Dylan had previously revealed that she had been homeless and living in her car, adding another layer to why Will’s support had meant so much to her.

Finn’s medical knowledge proved invaluable as Carter and Daphne explored surrogacy. He explained that using a surrogate could improve their chances of becoming parents and helped Daphne begin looking at the possibilities, though she was overwhelmed by the idea of trusting a stranger with something so important. At the same time, Steffy’s guilt became harder to hide. After assuring Daphne that she would do whatever it took to help her and Carter have a family, Steffy suddenly became nauseated, leaving her visibly worried about what the symptom might mean after her night with Carter. Electra (Laneya Grace) also received an unexpected visitor as her feelings for Will remained complicated. Eric (John McCook) had already warned her that continuing to see Will could jeopardize both her place at Forrester and her standing in the family.

Dylan’s feelings for Will came under renewed scrutiny after weeks of insisting that she had never set out to interfere in his relationship with Electra. Dylan had already admitted that she developed feelings for Will after he helped her through an extremely difficult time, and those feelings had contributed to the collapse of her friendship with Electra. Electra had accused Dylan of crossing the line and made it clear that she no longer trusted her, while Dylan maintained that she had fought her attraction because she never wanted to hurt her friend. With Katie also watching the situation closely, Dylan was forced to confront what she actually wanted from Will and whether their connection could still be dismissed as friendship.

Steffy and Carter’s attempt to bury what happened between them faced its biggest test yet. Their night together had already become increasingly difficult to hide as Daphne planned a future with Carter, and Finn remained devoted to Steffy. The tension grew even worse after Steffy became nauseated and appeared to fear that her symptoms could mean something much more complicated than a bad meal. Whatever came next threatened not just Steffy and Carter’s secret, but the futures they were trying to preserve with their respective partners. Meanwhile, Katie made an appeal to Electra, whose feelings for Will had clearly never disappeared. Electra had recently admitted she couldn’t bring herself to shut Will out completely, despite Eric’s demand that she stay away from him.
