What Happened On B&B: Taylor Confesses to Steffy
At the Cliff House, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) welcomed Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) home from her business trip. She asked her daughter how it went. Steffy exclaimed that Electra (Laneya Grace) made big business moves with the power players who were in town.
But Taylor had to tell her daughter something important. She shared that she had stopped seeing Deacon (Sean Kanan) as her client. Steffy was relieved to hear the news. She assumed that Taylor quashed her feelings for him.
Not necessarily. Taylor confessed that they shared their romantic feelings for one another. She told Steffy that she advised Deacon to end his marriage to Sheila (Kimberlin Brown).
Why It Matters to Steffy: It Threatens Her Sense of Safety
Steffy wasn’t happy about her mother’s relationship update. She told her that she couldn’t have this dark energy around her. She just moved on from the Luna (Lisa Yamada) situation, now that she’s gone for good.
Now, an unhinged Sheila could cause havoc in their family once again. Taylor reminded her daughter that she and Finn (Tanner Novlan) had set boundaries with Sheila, and it worked. But Steffy argued that she had to nip that in the bud, so her husband would cut off his biological mother.
Meanwhile, Deacon spoke to Sheila during their shift at Il Giardino. He admitted he’s been thinking a lot about marriage lately. He talked about timing and the right person for the right time in their life.
Deacon wanted Sheila to know how much he appreciated her. She could tell that something was off with him. She wanted him to tell her the truth. But Deacon seemed choked up at the thought of uttering the d-word.
