What Happened Previously on B&B
Taylor (Rebecca Budig) crossed a boundary with Deacon (Sean Kanan) when she stepped in to comfort him after he learned that Sheila (Kemberlin Brown) had been hiding the truth about Luna (Lisa Yamada) being alive. Li (Naomi Matsuda) later managed to calm Sheila, assuring her that Deacon still loved her.
Both Taylor and Deacon agreed things had gone too far, but neither of them seemed able to pull back. Even Sheila’s looming presence hasn’t been enough to stop what’s been quietly growing between them.
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) actually realized what was going on with Taylor and Deacon. She told Hope (Annika Noelle) about it, hoping to find an ally. However, Hope shocked Steffy by being all four Deacon and Taylor’s romance. She wanted Sheila out of her dad’s life, but Steffy feared it would cause Sheila to retaliate and hurt her family more.
Meanwhile, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) have been spending time together since Christmas. Daphne has had feelings for Carter for years, but he chose Hope Hope (Annika Noelle)instead, which led her to leave Los Angeles.
After Hope ended things with Carter, Daphne returned, but she didn’t rush back into his life. She kept her distance and made him work to regain her trust. She decided might be time to go back to Paris, even though their connection is still there. Daphne tried to ease Carter into the idea, but he wasn’t ready to let her go just yet.
The two managed to talk about their relationship, which slowed down Daphne’s determination to leave Los Angeles.
