In the October 27 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Deacon turned the tables on Taylor and took the reins of their therapy session. He was the one asking the questions.
Key Takeaways
- Deacon has been seeing Taylor following his separation from Sheila.
- Both Taylor and Deacon have had bad luck in the love department.
- Deacon decided to ask the questions in today’s session.
- Taylor realized she doesn’t want to be anyone’s second choice, but she might end up in the same spot once again.
Is There a Doctor in the House?
Once again, Deacon (Sean Kanan—who received a military veteran partner award) had to visit Taylor (Rebecca Budig) after being questioned about his relationship with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). They’re currently separated, but that doesn’t mean they’re divorced yet.
During their session, Taylor shared that she’s happy that Deacon is paying attention to their therapy sessions. Surprisingly, he’s enjoyed exploring his feelings and asking himself the right questions, even when it comes to his marriage.
Deacon said he’s been fascinated with Taylor. He’s hanging onto her every word. Then, he wanted to flip the script during their therapy session. He asked her three simple words: “How are you?”
How is Taylor Doing These Days?
This was a loaded question for Taylor to answer. She hasn’t focused on herself. Rather, she’s been focused on her patients and work. She’s using work as an escape from the heartbreak she experienced after Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) left her for Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang).
Taylor reminded Deacon that she was the psychiatrist and he was her patient. She should be asking him these questions. But she also admitted that it was a good question for Deacon to ask her.
Deacon joked that they’re both “roadkill” from Brooke and Ridge. Taylor asked him if that was a new term being used in therapy circles.
Not Learning From Her Mistakes?
Then, the conversation shifted to Taylor’s life with Ridge. She became emotional as she admitted that she didn’t like being the second choice once again. Third time’s the charm for Taylor.
She realized that she no longer wanted to be anyone else’s second choice. Taylor was overcome with emotion, and Deacon offered her a shoulder to cry on. They both got up from their seats and embraced one another.
Taylor looked at Deacon differently after their hug. She might end up as the second choice once again if he plans to go back to Sheila. Is Deacon and Sheila’s “love” too toxic for a B&B reunion?
