The Tom/Poppy mystery deepens with the June 26 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. How do these two know each other? Why should he know her favorite kind of pizza? Elsewhere, Paris continued to explain Thomas and their time in Paris while Hope questioned how in the world he could ask another woman to marry him so quickly.

Hope’s (Annika Noelle — who recently attended a drag brunch) crushing conversation with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) continued at Forrester. While she didn’t question his dating Parisk (Diamond White), she did question the quickness of the engagement. Elsewhere at Forrester, Paris explained a little more about what she and Thomas mean to each other. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was grateful and positively gleeful (Look for this conversation to continue on Thursday). Meanwhile, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) was skeptical and stunned. At Il Giardino, Tom (Clint Howard) decided to track down Poppy (Romy Park) and briefly met Luna (Lisa Yamada). Also, Deacon (Sean Kanan) talked to Tom about performing at the restaurant.

A continuation of Tuesday’s conversation, Hope pleads her case. She knows that Thomas knows they were good together. ![](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 600 400"></svg>)
Thomas, once again, reminds Hope that he asked her to marry him TWICE. He had to leave. And now he is with Paris. At Il Giardino, Tom reflects on the Poppy situation. He unethically looks up Bill’s address and decides to deliver a free pizza to Bill’s house so he can connect with Poppy. Before Tom leaves, Deacon corners Tom about debuting on stage at Il Giardino this very evening! Out at Bill’s, Tom delivers the pizza to Bill’s front door. Thankfully, Poppy is the one to open. Poppy’s shocked to see Tom although he says she shouldn’t be so surprised. Also, he mentions that he brought her favorite pizza. HOW DOES TOM KNOW WHAT POPPY EATS? Before Tom and Poppy can reveal anything, Luna comes in and interrupts. No go on the hot gossip from Poppy and Tom. Maybe another time soon? Paris brings up the painful past about Beth and her father’s part in it. She also says she knows the pain Thomas has been through (Carter, anyone?). She’s ready to put the past behind her and be the best daughter-in-law and sister-in-law possible. At first Ridge was skeptical, but he starts to open up his mind. A gleeful Steffy loves that someone other than Hope has feelings for Thomas. She can’t stop smiling actually. Thomas says a part of him will always care for Hope. And he will continue to coparent Douglas with Hope. But he, Douglas and Paris have formed their own little family. Hope says she just wants what’s best for Thomas and then she kisses him on the cheek. Of course, Steffy observes from afar. Hope and Thomas share one last moment and then part ways. As soon as Thomas leaves, Steffy walks in with that same smile on her face. She kind of gloats over the fact that Thomas has someone new in his life. Steffy doesn’t want Hope to even think about hurting or disappointing Thomas again. Over it, Hope just stares at Steffy. The end.
