Steffy is back on The Bold and the Beautiful, and as we saw in The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for the week of November 6, she’s going to show Sheila that she’s not going to put up with her anymore while Sheila vows to leave her alone. Read on to find out how that’s working so far.
“You pushed me,” Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) says. She’s so quietly furious you can actually imagine her grinding her teeth when she says it to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
Steffy, however, isn’t backing down. Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Deacon (Sean Kanan) look on helplessly as Steffy gets even closer to Sheila. “Because you pushed me too far,” she replies, her voice like steel. Looks like that trip to the Alps left Steffy with ice in her veins because she is cold.
We’re thrilled to have Steffy back. She doesn’t believe for a moment that Sheila is capable of loving Deacon, nor does she believe that Sheila’s promises to leave her and her family alone will ring true. When Sheila says she hopes Steffy will change her mind, Steffy shuts her down. She knows how this will play out; Sheila will never stop and that’s why she’s ready for a fight.
In fact, she tells Sheila just that. “I’m a Forrester. We never back down from a fight,” Steffy says, and then she punches Sheila in the face.
Needless to say, this is only making things worse. While there was never any trusting Sheila, provoking her isn’t the answer either. She tells Sheila that if she doesn’t back down, Steffy will make her wish she was behind bars. But that shiner on Sheila’s eye is only going to make her angrier, and let’s not forget that Sheila is so unhinged she cut off her own toe. Punching her is motivation.
Elsewhere in the episode, Eric (John McCook) celebrated his victory while Donna (Jennifer Gareis) worried about his seemingly worsening health. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) expressed gratitude to Luna (Lisa Yamada) for finding his father’s stapler, and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and RJ (Joshua Hoffman) talked with Katie (Heather Tom) about Ridge. They believe that they need to keep pretending that they don’t know about Eric’s condition, but they’ll make sure they’re all supporting him in the time he has left. Luna continues to support RJ when he tells her that he told his parents about Eric’s condition, and that Eric wasn’t the real winner.
Ridge spent some time pondering the conversation he had with his father about the stapler. At the time he didn’t understand why it meant so much to Eric, but now the pieces are all coming together and it brings everything into sharper focus. When Eric reclaimed the office, they shared a conversation that ended with Ridge telling his father how much he loves him. “I love you, too, Ridge, always remember that.”
There’s no question that the focus of The Bold and the Beautiful will continue to be about Eric’s health, but we have to think that things between Steffy and Sheila are about to get much worse as Sheila’s anger simmers. No matter how much Deacon loves her, there’s no stopping Sheila when she sets her mind to something. And now that the gauntlet has been thrown, it’s going to be a battle of wills to see who blinks first.
