The Bold and the Beautiful Full Episode Recap | Betrayals, Breakdowns & A New Partner in Crime - Monday, March 17, 2025 [SPOILERS]

Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered enough drama to fuel a dozen Thanksgiving dinner fights. Carter made a bold move (finally), Poppy disowned Luna with the kind of savage energy we all secretly live for, and Luna took her betrayal baggage straight to the queen of crazy herself—Sheila. This B&B recap is juicier than a soap star’s tell-all memoir.

Carter’s Big (Too-Late) Epiphany: Hope, You Played Me!

Ah, Carter. Sweet, naïve Carter. For a man who’s supposed to be a legal genius, it sure took him long enough to realize that Hope had him wrapped around her well-manicured little finger.

Eric announces the Forresters are in charge again | B&B

After handing Forrester Creations back to Ridge and Eric (who are practically giggling like schoolboys), Carter finally accepts that his “success” wasn’t worth the price of his integrity. Oh, and he dramatically rips up that much-hyped LLC contract, because what’s a soap moment without a good, old-fashioned paper shred? Ridge, basking in his usual self-righteous glow, practically throws a parade in Carter’s honor, while Eric clutches his stapler like it’s a long-lost child.

But before Carter can bask in his moral victory, he realizes there’s one little problem—Hope. And honey, she is not going to take this well.

Hope’s Romantic Night Goes Up in Flames

Fresh off a heart-to-heart with Brooke (who will never not have an opinion about Hope’s love life), Hope is setting the stage for a dreamy, intimate evening with Carter. What she’s not expecting? The guilt-ridden look in his eyes when he walks through the door. It’s giving “I just made a huge mistake” energy, and Hope knows it.

She begs him to tell her that nothing has changed, but Carter’s guilty conscience has the floor now. And in case we somehow forgot the past five minutes, we get a dramatic flashback to the LLC-ripping moment. (Because B&B knows subtlety like Ridge knows monogamy—not at all.)

Hope’s world is crumbling, and frankly, we love to see it.

Luna’s Rock Bottom: No Family, No Friends, Just Il Giardino

Luna’s been clinging to Bill’s mansion like a bad spray tan, but even she knows the gig is up. When Poppy drops by for one last mother-daughter showdown, Luna is ready to air all the dirty laundry. And, oh boy, does she go in.

She accuses Poppy of playing the paternity lottery by sleeping with both Tom and Bill. Yikes. But what Luna really wants? A second chance. A fresh start. A mom who doesn’t treat her like a disgrace.

Poppy’s response? A big, fat NOPE.

And she doesn’t just refuse—she goes full scorched-earth mode. We’re talking “You are evil, you have no family, get out of town” levels of rejection. Luna, now armed with the worst pep talk in history, makes a beeline for the only place in LA that welcomes the morally bankrupt: Il Giardino.

Sheila’s Worst Nightmare: A Partner in Crime

When Luna struts into Il Giardino, Sheila’s reaction is priceless. There’s fear, confusion, and a tiny bit of respect—because let’s be honest, no one does psychopath like Sheila Carter. But when Luna dares to ask for a fresh start, Sheila hits her with a reality check: "Who in their right mind would pardon a homicidal maniac like you?"

Sheila & Luna | B&B

The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast, but Sheila’s not wrong. Even she doesn’t want Luna around, and that’s saying something.

So, what’s next for Luna? Is she about to become Sheila’s deranged protégé? Will she pull a redemption arc out of nowhere? One thing’s for sure—if even Sheila Carter thinks you’re beyond saving, you’ve officially hit rock bottom.

Final Thoughts

This B&B full episode recap proves once again that the drama never sleeps. Carter finally grew a backbone, Hope’s love life is in shambles (again), and Luna just got disowned in the most savage way possible. And let’s not forget Sheila, the unexpected voice of reason, making us question everything we thought we knew about this show.

Stay tuned, because The Bold and the Beautiful is just getting warmed up!
