In the January 8 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy overheard Taylor’s conversation with Deacon, and she didn’t like what she heard. The two were flirting despite the fact that Deacon is married to Sheila.
Key Takeaways
- Deacon and Taylor were flirting during their therapy session.
- Steffy showed up at her mom’s office to visit her.
- She overheard their conversation.
- Steffy laid some ground rules in Taylor’s therapeutic relationship with Deacon.
What Happened on B&B
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) immediately entered Taylor’s (Rebecca Budig) office after Deacon (Sean Kanan) left. She gave her mom the riot act. Steffy reminded Taylor that he’s married to the vindictive, cold-blooded killer, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).
She understands that her mother went through heartbreak with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). And she’s happy that she’s able to move on. But she can’t be having these feelings for one of her clients, especially not for Deacon.
Steffy repeatedly reminded her mother that he’s married to Sheila, who’s caused havoc in their lives in the past. Taylor admitted that while their relationship is complicated, he’s a remarkable man.
She insisted that nothing was happening between them, but Steffy knew what she saw. They looked like they were about to kiss. She scolded her mom for not acting like a professional.
She can’t fall for a patient, even one who’s married to a lunatic. Steffy recounted Sheila’s history with their family; the time she almost killed Taylor. But her mom assured her that it wouldn’t happen.
Why It Matters to Steffy
Steffy is aware of what Sheila can do. She tried to infiltrate herself into Steffy and Finn’s (Tanner Novlan) lives. She nearly shot them. And she almost killed her mother in the past.
Steffy is grateful to Sheila for helping save her life when Luna (Lisa Yamada) was on a murder spree, but she doesn’t want her around her family. Steffy is aware that Sheila is wildly unpredictable.
The last thing she needs is another threat. They got rid of Luna for good. Sheila is still around, and she’s married to Deacon. Taylor’s involvement could blow up the peace they desperately held onto.
The Fallout: Sheila on the War Path
With Taylor falling for Deacon, Sheila could become Public Enemy Number One. She’s not going to give up her husband that easily. Sheila is not the type of woman who goes away quietly into the night.
She made it clear that Deacon means the world to her. After losing Luna, she has nobody else to lean on. There’s no thinking what Sheila could do to Taylor or Deacon after she finds out what’s going on between them.
Steffy told Taylor that she’s not the type of woman to go after a married man. However, she had encouraged her mom to go for Ridge in the past, even when he was married to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). While Steffy has a good point, she fails to understand that her mom isn’t innocent either.
