In The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Friday, January 12, 2024, Thomas finally revealed his version of events of the night Emma Barber died. Now that Hope knows, will Hope forgive him?
Bold and the Beautiful Recap Highlights
In addition, Liam demanded Hope give her ring back to Thomas because he was a murderer. Steffy continued to defend her brother to Finn. And RJ and Luna visited Eric where they talked about life lessons. Now let’s dig deep into what went down.
Cabin Conflict
At Hope’s (Annika Noelle) cabin, Liam (Scott Clifton) warned Hope about Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). He didn’t think she was safe from him emotionally or even physically. Furthermore, Liam doled out some advice Hope didn’t want to hear. He felt strongly she should give Thomas back his ring (Both Clifton and Atkinson talk about potential role reversal here).
Liam’s questions veered into her feelings for Thomas. Did she love Thomas? That’s when Hope gave him her standard response: her relationship with Thomas was private. Liam claimed to understand, so in the meantime, he wanted her to keep her guard up. He cautioned her saying the next round of Thomas’s deep, dark secrets were out there somewhere…and they were coming.

Meanwhile, Thomas told Steffy that what happened to Emma (Nia Sioux), still weighed on him, but he was no murderer. However, he still didn’t get into the nitty-gritty details of what happened that night. Instead, Thomas thanked Steffy for having faith in him. Now he needed Hope to know he wasn’t a murderer.
Quality Time and Life Lessons
Finn (Tanner Novlan) told Eric (John McCook) that he was making excellent progress. RJ (Joshua Hoffman) and Luna (Lisa Yamada) showed up at the hospital. Before Finn let them have their quality time, both Eric and RJ expressed their gratitude for what he did to bring Eric back.
Luna and RJ brought Eric a reminder of Forrester Creations — his stapler. Eric was happy that it never got tossed or forgotten. Later, Luna sat by Eric’s bedside and raved about RJ, which RJ overheard. She didn’t care, she said she meant every word. The young couple asked Eric to share a life lesson with them and he focused on love. He said, “If it finds you, then give it all you got.”
In Finn’s office, Steffy told him about talking to Thomas. A skeptical Finn guessed that Thomas kept avoiding any accountability for what happened to Emma. A frustrated Steffy doesn’t understand why he thinks Thomas is a monster. That he should actually take the time to get to know her brother.
Thomas’s Truth
Back at the cabin, Thomas arrived at Hope’s, and he was happy with the romantic set-up Hope provided. Unfortunately, Thomas had other things on his mind. He said it might be good that this whole Xander (Adain Bradley) and Emma thing came up again. It’s always been a barrier between them. And now he could tell her everything once and for all. Because she didn’t know everything.
If he wanted a future with Hope, she said he needed to be completely honest with her. Thomas admitted to having a confrontation with Emma because she wanted to divulge the Baby Beth secret and he didn’t. He erased the GPS footage that showed him at the scene of Emma’s death, which nobody knew until now.
Then he confessed to chasing after Emma. They were both driving very fast on Mulholland which was not a wise move because she went off the road. And no, he didn’t help her because nobody could have survived that crash.
He never meant for Emma to die. That was his truth. It wasn’t like Xander said. He needed to know if Hope could forgive him now that she knew the entire story.
