In the February 26 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Electra was still reeling from the belief that her relationship with Will could be over. She looked to RJ for comfort, only for him to take a calculated leap. What started as a shoulder to lean on turned into a kiss that Electra wasn’t prepared for. She was forced to set a clear boundary to protect what’s left of her composure.
Key Takeaways
- RJ took advantage of Electra’s emotional state, using her breakup with Will as an opening to move in physically.
- Electra immediately shut down RJ’s advances, making it clear her vulnerability was not an invitation for a new romance.
- Their professional partnership is compromised now that Electra can’t trust RJ’s caring nature, already knowing his hidden agenda.
What Happened on B&B: Electra Sets the Record Straight
The air in the showroom turned ice-cold. It wasn’t the reaction that RJ (Brayan Nicoletti, who teased RJ’s future) was looking for. While Electra (Laneya Grace) spiraled over the possibility that her relationship with Will (Crew Morrow) had ended, RJ revealed his hidden agenda.
As Electra leaned on him for support, RJ took advantage of her vulnerability and kissed her. Then he wanted another kiss, despite being rejected after the first. Electra told RJ numerous times that he couldn’t just go around kissing her.
Why It Matters: Family Trust is Breaking
RJ capitalised on Electra’s belief that she was no longer with Will. By not giving her space to heal, he manipulated the situation for his own personal gain. And it looks like he’s not giving up on the idea despite being rejected.
He later spoke to Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer, who is expecting her first child) about what happened. He argued that Electra deserved someone better, someone like him. Electra is now caught between a man she thinks doesn’t want her (Will) and a man who wants her for the wrong reasons (RJ).
The Fallout: The Damage is Already Done
Electra already set a hard boundary with RJ. But the damage to her reputation and her relationship with Will might already be done. Will walked in at the moment that their lips met, and he was filled with rage.
He returned to the beach house, where he replayed the disastrous moment in his head. Meanwhile, RJ eliminated his golden boy image with an unwanted kiss. He was left to defend his indefensible move, which he still believed was the right thing to do in the moment.
RJ’s professional partnership with Electra is now toxic. He mistook her kindness for an invitation to exploit her heartbreak. But there’s nothing that will stop his pursuit of the perfect woman.
