Steffy Gives Carter Her Final Word On ‘The Secret’ — Plus, Will and Dylan Get Steamy In the Shower
Monday, August 24, 2026: Today on The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge makes Carter and Steffy squirm, RJ distracts Electra, and Will lets down his defenses with Dylan.

At Forrester, Ridge barks, “Somebody start talking. What’s going on here?” after walking in on Steffy and Carter’s heated exchange. Meanwhile, over at Bikini, Electra tells Will it’s time to move on. He finally seems to accept it. Electra leaves with RJ and Dylan follows Will, who departs right after.
On the terrace at RJ’s, Electra complains about Will to him over a beer. She can’t help but smirk when he claims to feel bad for the guy. After he admits Will lost the best thing that ever happened to him, they move inside. Completely forgetting that she dumped him, Electra declares that she’ll always love Will but can’t continue to put up with him and Dylan.

After some chit-chat about RJ having a place of his own, Electra’s back on the Will and Dylan bandwagon, saying it’s exhausting. RJ tries distracting her with talk of saving Forrester Creations with The Electra Line. She gushes that this is a pinch me moment and thanks him.
Fun Will
Dylan catches up with Will at the beach house and tries convincing him Electra is not what he needs. He has to agree given the back and forth. She’s crazy about him, flaws and all. “I want you.” Doesn’t he want someone who will have his back? He agrees to bring out fun Will again, and they kiss.

When they finally come up for air, Dylan’s sure to remind Will how much stress Electra has caused him. He loves her regardless. Dylan asks, “Do you?” and points out it’s not healthy. She wants to take the pressure off of him with a night swim.
Ridge’s Relief
At Forrester, Steffy stammers to her dad that she was just telling Carter about what happened with Finn. Ridge asks where things stand. She says her husband assured her Sheila would no longer be part of their lives. He hugs her, relieved they worked things out, and Steffy and Carter lock eyes.

Talking in code, Carter says it’s the right thing to do… to move on from “this.” Ridge grunts about Finn betraying Steffy’s trust, though notes they’ve always been faithful to each other. Steffy’s expression changes and her dad asks, “What’s wrong?” Carter and Steffy agonize as Ridge thanks his friend for taking care of his daughter. “I can always count on you.” Oy.
The Final Scenes
At RJ’s place, Electra tells him he’s a prince. Kind, talented and patient. She beats herself up for not seeing it sooner. He knows she’s still getting over Will. She’ll focus on her line. RJ smiles, “The Electra Line.”

At the beach house, Dylan and Will are back from their night swim and he pulls her under the shower with him. They start making out and the swimsuits start coming off.

At Forrester, Steffy and Carter squirm as Ridge pays tribute to Carter for always being a good friend, though he mentions the coup and his affair with Hope. Thankfully, that’s all behind them and they’re back on track.
When Ridge steps out to take a call, Steffy resumes panicking that she has to tell Finn the truth. This is so wrong! Carter protests. He loves his wife. This shouldn’t alter the rest of their lives! Steffy’s sure she and Finn will get past this. Carter fumes, “Daphne and I won’t.” Turning up the heat, he adds that this will kill her father. “I am begging you to please keep this secret to yourself.” Steffy relents. “OK.” She’ll keep the secret for Finn, her kids, Daphne and him. She’ll delete it from her mind. Sure, Jan. Cue the tortured conscience.
