What Happened on B&B: Hope and Steffy Butted Heads
At Forrester Creations, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) walked into Hope’s (Annika Noelle) and Deke’s (Harrison Cone) conversation. She was disappointed to hear them propping up their dad with Taylor (Rebecca Budig).
Steffy admitted that Taylor might be better suited to Deacon, but their relationship could put her entire family at risk. She doesn’t support the idea of pushing them together. Hope said they were only looking out for their dad, especially when Taylor makes him happy.
Steffy argued there was no connection between their parents. She confirmed that her mother has already cut ties with Deacon, and that Hope and Deke needed to respect that decision. More importantly, they needed to respect Steffy’s wishes.
After a few minutes of arguing, Hope agreed that she and Deke would do as Steffy demanded. They wouldn’t meddle, but they wouldn’t tell their father what NOT to do with his life either. Hope admitted that he’s free to do whatever he wants, and so is Taylor.
Why It Matters: Steffy Needed This Advice
Although Steffy didn’t ask for Hope’s advice, this is what she needed to hear. Once again, she thought she could control her mother’s love life. But she can’t help who her mom falls in love with, even if it’s not her father.
Hope said that it was Taylor’s call. She hit Steffy with the truth that her mother had already fallen in love with their father. Yet, Steffy doesn’t want to hear it because she doesn’t think Deacon is the right man for Taylor.
The Fallout: Taylor and Deacon Will Do Whatever They Want
Of course, this argument is unnecessary, because their parents will do whatever they want. Taylor and Deacon already stirred the pot by nearly making out in front of everyone at Il Giardino.
Someone on Deacon’s staff could share what they witnessed with Sheila, and everything could fall apart. But Taylor shut it down. She told Deacon that he needed to work on his marriage to Sheila.
He agreed to make love to Sheila (Kimberlin Brown, who praised her B&B stepson), but he would think about her when it happened. But the damage is already done, and Sheila is the last one to know what’s going on. This ticking time bomb is going to make sure these two won’t end up together.
