What Happened Previously on B&B
Deacon (Sean Kanan) leaned on Taylor (Rebecca Budig) after realizing Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) had deceived him about Luna (Lisa Yamada), leaving him unsure of anything they had built together. The betrayal hit him hard, and Taylor, as his therapist, quickly became the person he relied on most.
As Taylor helped him process everything, their connection began to change. What started as professional support gradually turned personal. Both knew they were crossing a line because of their therapist-patient relationship, and they tried to keep boundaries in place. Even so, the pull between them was undeniable, and they eventually gave in, sharing a kiss despite the risk of Sheila finding out.
Things escalated when Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovered the truth. She immediately went to Hope (Annika Noelle), hoping she would step in before things went too far. But Hope, now married to Liam (Scott Clifton), chose not to interfere. She saw Deacon pulling away from Sheila as a good thing and didn’t want to disrupt that, even getting her brother Deke (Harrison Cone) on her side.
With no help from Hope, Steffy confronted Taylor directly and demanded she choose between Deacon and her family. Taylor tried to prioritize her daughter, but her feelings for Deacon didn’t go away. In the end, Deacon made his own choice, misleading Sheila about where he was and choosing to be with Taylor anyway.
Deacon and Taylor slept together, but everything unraveled when Sheila showed up unexpectedly. Misreading what she saw, Sheila grabbed a knife, instantly making the situation dangerous. Deacon escaped through a window while Sheila rushed in, convinced she was protecting Taylor. Although Taylor insisted she was fine, Sheila quickly noticed signs that she hadn’t been alone, confirming her worst fears.
Taylor later told Steffy the truth, and Steffy reacted with anger over what had happened. At the same time, Sheila began testing Deacon, determined to find out where he had really been. After hearing everything, Hope finally understood why Steffy had been so concerned.
