Luna Shoots Sheila and Turns on Steffy
The chaos began at the beach house where tensions had already reached their boiling point. Luna, emotionally unhinged and armed, accidentally shot Sheila in the foot during a heated confrontation. Sheila collapsed in pain, while Steffy stood frozen, horrified by what she had just witnessed.
But Luna wasn’t done. She quickly dismissed Sheila’s injury as nothing serious and turned her full rage toward Steffy. Accusations flew as Luna blamed Steffy for ruining her life, insisting that everything would have been different had Finn raised her. Steffy, shaken but strong, tried to reason with her, admitting there were missed opportunities but standing firm on one truth—Luna’s actions had consequences.
Despite her pain, Steffy warned that Luna’s path was leading straight to prison. Luna, heartbroken and furious, didn’t back down. She pointed the gun directly at Steffy again, clearly losing all grip on reality.
The Bold and the Beautiful Recap: Hope Clings to Liam, Carter Offers Comfort
While life unraveled at the beach house, Liam spoke to Hope on the phone, trying to keep things light and optimistic. He reassured her that he was okay and looked forward to taking Beth roller skating the next day. That call, brief but heartfelt, gave Hope hope—if only for a moment.
But once the call ended, the worry came rushing back. Carter found Hope struggling emotionally and stepped in to comfort her. He offered reassurance, reminding her of Liam’s strength and resilience. Despite Carter’s kind words, Hope couldn’t shake the fear of losing Liam.
Finn Senses Trouble, Li Shifts the Blame
At the hospital, Finn and Li shared a tense conversation about Luna’s behavior. Li remained adamant that Luna wasn’t evil, placing the blame squarely on her sister Poppy. She felt Luna’s troubled path was the result of poor parenting, not bad genetics.
Finn wasn’t so convinced. He pointed out that Luna carried Sheila’s DNA, just as he did. Still, he admitted that upbringing played a role. Their debate was cut short when Finn began to notice unsettling signs. Steffy wasn’t responding to his texts, and Sheila’s voicemails revealed growing panic about Luna’s behavior.
Sensing something was very wrong, Finn phoned Liam. When Liam heard about Sheila’s distress and Steffy’s silence, he didn’t hesitate. He raced to the beach house himself, determined to protect Steffy.
The Bold and the Beautiful Recap: Liam Takes a Bullet While Trying to Save Steffy
Once Liam burst through the door, he saw Luna threatening Steffy with the gun. Without thinking, he lunged forward to grab it. In the struggle, the gun went off—this time hitting Liam in the chest. He collapsed to the ground, bleeding and gasping for breath.
Steffy screamed and rushed to his side, while Luna claimed it was an accident. Despite shooting Liam, she continued to place all the blame on Steffy. As she ranted, Sheila caused a distraction by knocking over art supplies.
The noise gave Liam the chance to grab the gun again. Even though he was weak and barely able to stand, he managed to point it at Luna. She mocked him, confident he wouldn’t shoot. But as she lunged forward once more, Liam pulled the trigger. Luna went down, hit in the abdomen.
Finn Walks Into a Nightmare
Finn arrived just after the final gunshot. The scene was nightmarish—Sheila wounded, Luna bleeding, and Liam barely conscious. Finn’s first instinct was to accuse Sheila, but Steffy quickly told him the truth: Luna had caused all this.
Sheila, for once, didn’t argue. Instead, she pleaded with Finn to help Liam. Finn dropped to the floor to check on Liam while Steffy dialed 911. Liam, pale and fading fast, appeared to drift into the light. Nearby, Luna lay unconscious, her fate uncertain. Two lives now hung in the balance, and time was running out.
The Bold and the Beautiful recap for July 8, 2025, ends on a powerful note of heartbreak and uncertainty. Liam and Luna are both in critical condition.
