Ridge has a request for Brooke while Finn and Hope clear the air and Liam tells Steffy about his conversation with Finn in The Bold and the Beautiful recap for July 22, 2024.
We begin the week at Forrester Creations, where things are heated between Hope (Annika Noelle) and Finn (Tanner Novlan). Finn tells her it’s not a good idea for them to be talking this way. She asks if he’s surprised that she has a crush on him. He thinks she’s having fun and "playing around." She persists in her flirting.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) tells Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) that he and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) were having a "very important meeting." She hurries out, saying she’s been "tripping over too many Logans today." Once she leaves, Brooke apologizes and suggests they pick up their meeting at home later. He asks her again about being the face of the bedroom line. He insists she’s more beautiful now than ever.
Steffy drinks some water and looks at photos when Liam (Scott Clifton) walks in. They talk about the upcoming fashion summit and she says she wishes she could leave now and get to a "Logan-free" zone. Liam laughs.
Finn closes the door (bad idea, Finn!) and asks if something happened between Hope and Steffy. He asks if they will ever be able to get along, but she says she doesn’t want it to be about Steffy anymore because she wants to focus on Finn.
Ridge wants Brooke to think about restarting her modeling career during the fashion summit in Monte Carlo. She says she doesn’t look the same as she did when she was younger and he says they have "experience" and that’s "real beauty." Brooke is afraid of being scrutinized, and Ridge understands that. But he wants her to consider that she’s proof that "beauty gets better every year."
Liam pours some water as Steffy finishes a call. She says the summit can’t come soon enough because she’s looking forward to spending the time with her father. Liam tells her that he went to visit Finn earlier to let him know he was giving him credit for putting Steffy and the family first.
Finn wonders if Hope’s migraines were actually real. She keeps flirting with him and he keeps telling her to back off. He tells her to "button up" as he goes off to see his wife. As he’s leaving, he gets a text from Deacon that Sheila has been released. Hope immediately gets serious and asks how he feels.
Brooke tells Ridge that it’s hard for her to explain how she feels. She loves how she looks. Ridge says that he loves her body and it should be on billboards celebrating where she is right now. He grabs a piece from the line that he just finished and asks her to try it on. "Be our icon," he begs.
Steffy can’t believe that Liam complimented Finn. Liam is equally shocked, but he says Finn stood up for Steffy and the family. He knows Finn has been confused about all of the Sheila stuff. Time will tell about what the news about the murders brings, but for now, he can be optimistic. Steffy tells him that it’s all over because Sheila is all locked up.
Finn reveals that the police did a full investigation and found that Sheila was innocent. Hope asks what he thinks. He admits that he had some trouble understanding why Sheila would risk everything to kill Tom and Hollis. Finn says it made sense for the police to interview her, but he never wanted her to be guilty. Hope says she’s happy for him.
Liam says it’s nice being able to relax with Sheila locked up. Steffy says she’s not getting away with anything this time, but Liam isn’t so sure. He asks if she’s confident that Sheila was the murderer, but she thinks it’s an open-and-shut case.
Hope says she doesn’t trust Sheila, and neither does Finn, but regardless, he says, she’s been released. Hope says she doesn’t want him getting in trouble over his feelings for Sheila. Hope wishes she’d never been in Sheila and Deacon’s marriage. Hope thinks that they’re "in sync" and she hopes that one day he’ll see how in sync they are.
Brooke emerges from the changing room in a purple nightgown. He’s exhilarated with how stunning she looks. He begs her to model for the company, and for him. She looks at herself and says she doesn’t feel older. She feels like the young girl she was when they first met. She says she wants to take on risks and challenges in this next phase of her life. She’s frightened of the idea of modeling on a global stage, but that’s why she’s going to do it. Ridge is overjoyed and thanks his "beautiful Logan." He tells her that the world is going to fall in love with her again.
