B&B Spoilers: Deacon Accuses Steffy of Murdering Sheila

On the March 4 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, spoilers tease that Deacon doesn’t let Steffy off the hook for killing Sheila. Also reeling from his loss, Finn tells Steffy he needs time to process that she killed his biological mother.

Deacon Lashes Out

Boy, does Deacon (Sean Kanan) wish he hadn’t let Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) out of his sight now. Deacon sensed that the situation with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) had escalated to a potentially dangerous point. Still, Sheila promised him that she wouldn’t do anything crazy. Sheila had been living such a good, simple life with him that Deacon finds it hard to believe that his love went to Steffy’s house with ill will.

Consumed with grief, Deacon confronts Steffy about the horrible tragedy. Given that he himself is a reformed convict, Deacon should be careful about what he says to Steffy and in what manner. He most likely takes her to task for going to Sheila’s home and assaulting her. As many people have pointed out by now, Sheila wouldn’t have bothered Steffy if she hadn’t instigated the fight first.

In Deep Pain

Will Deacon go one step further and accuse Steffy of intentionally stabbing Sheila to death? Without seeing the scene play out before him, it could be hard to understand how Steffy “acted in self-defense.” Sheila had no weapon, no gun. Didn’t Steffy have other choices? Was it entirely necessary to plunge a huge knife into Sheila’s heart?

Deacon just lost the only woman who ever really understood him. It’s a shame that in their final days together he sort of rejected her instead of letting her know how much she meant to him.

Finn Drifts Away

Another man not entirely convinced of Steffy’s need to kill Sheila in self-defense is her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan). Though he was entirely committed to Steffy up until the incident, the minute he saw his mother’s blood on the floor everything changed. Finn doesn’t seem to be able to find within himself any sympathy for Steffy alongside grief for Sheila — at least for now. Finn tells Steffy he needs space to process the loss and the fact that Steffy is responsible for it.

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) are outraged that Finn cannot support his wife during this time. Ridge pretty much told Finn that the most important woman in his life should be Steffy. However, you can’t tell someone how to feel or who to love, so Ridge’s words don’t count for much. Will Finn ever be able to look at Steffy again without seeing Sheila’s blood on her hands?
