The Bold and the Beautiful recap is finally in for Wednesday, July 9, 2025! In today’s episode, there are three surgeries but not everyone will survive.
Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) tells Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) that Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) shot Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton).
Paramedics Arrive
Steffy and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) hover over Liam’s body. The doctor says he has a pulse but it’s strained. Steffy can’t believe he’s still alive! 911 is on the way.
Over where Sheila Carter Sharpe (Kimberlin Brown) lies, a pool of blood accumulates around her shoe. Steffy helps find something to use as bandages and hands them to Finn.
Sheila comments that Finn is a good man. Steffy lashes out at Sheila for Luna’s actions. Sheila just nods silently, then looks over at Luna’s lifeless body.
Sirens can be heard. Liam is unconscious and blood is streaming from the corner of his mouth.
Someone finally gets Ms. Dylan (Sydney Bullock) out of that closet. The teacher emerges to see multiple EMTs working on three bodies. Finn tries to keep the teacher calm.
The teacher cries, she didn’t know about Miss Sunshine! Finn assures her that it’s not her fault, then rushes to help the paramedics.
Meanwhile, an officer tries to get a statement from Steffy. She can’t focus, it’s her daughter’s father on the floor! Finn leaves one patient and goes to help with Liam.
The paramedic says that Liam’s becoming a bit more stable. Finn says his blood pressure is extremely critical. The bullet wound was near his rib cage.
The officer asks about the female. Finn looks over to see which one he’s referring to. It’s Luna. Finn says a bullet to the side of the chest.
A gun is put in an evidence bag and Steffy is questioned some more. She’s frazzled and overwhelmed but tries to answer his question.
Carter Walton’s Promise
At Forrester Creations, Hope tells Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) that Liam might be finally ready to tell his loved ones the truth.
Carter is relieved but it’s bittersweet. They talk about Liam and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) ‘complicated relationship.
Hope thinks that Will and Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) deserve to know. The COO asks if she’s ever considered telling them herself. No, no, no, no! It has to come from Liam but the clock is ticking, she explains.
Carter gets the sense that there’s a treatment or something more that can be done. Hope explains the quality of life is the factor, not the years added.
Carter makes a speech about being the best stepfather he can be. However, what he wants even more is for more time for Liam.
Hospital Chaos
At the hospital, everyone is wheeled in. Sheila talks to a nurse as Steffy looks in at Liam. Then, Sheila seems to pass out. Doctors and nurses block Steffy from seeing anything else.
Finn tells Steffy that Liam needs to get into the operating room immediately. Two officers are stalking Steffy at the hospital.
They want answers. They walk her through what Ms. Dylan told them about what happened. Steffy’s head is swirling.
Steffy tells them that Luna is Sheila’s granddaughter. Steffy adds that Sheila tried to warn them about Luna, then she lunged in front of the gun.
Li enters the hallway in surgical gear, shocked to see her daughter-in-law. Steffy rambles about Luna and a gun as Li’s jaw drops open.
Luna starts crashing. Li races over but Steffy holds Finn back. Steffy warns that if Luna survives and Liam doesn’t, she won’t know what she does.
The look in Steffy’s eyes explains all. Grace and Li work on Luna. She needs to get into surgery now!
Grace Buckingham’s Odd Behavior
Sheila pops open her eyes to see Finn. The doctor says Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creeceh) will be operating on Sheila.
Grace insists on working on Liam, he’s HER patient. Finn doesn’t have time to argue, tells Sheila that she’s in good hands, then leaves.
Grace works on Sheila in an operating room. She wants Liam’s status throughout the operation. The doctor asks for Liam’s chart while operating on Sheila.
The patient is put under. Now Grace is sewing Sheila up. Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) comes in and says Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) is on his way.
Grace asks about Luna and Liam. No updates yet. Sheila’s wounds are not life-threatening, but Luna and Liam’s are, Grace says.
Liam Spencer Coding
Over with Liam, Steffy is by his hospital bed. The nurse tells Finn there’s been no change. Steffy kisses Liam’s forehead before he’s rushed into surgery.
Steffy pleads with a nurse to let her see Liam. She can’t be in the OR, but there is an observation window. Steffy watches Finn operate on Liam.
That must feel bizarre. Finn can see his wife. No pressure! As they operate, Steffy calls Hope. She tells her Luna shot Liam and she needs to get there right away.
Suddenly, alarms blare in Liam’s operating room.
With Luna, Li frantically says she can’t see, there’s too much blood! She can’t feel the bullet yet. Bridget and Li can see the bullet now.
Bridget questions Li, suggesting Luna might bleed out. Li promises she won’t let that happen. “I refuse to let my niece end this way,” Li says.
Things seem to be stabilizing. Li comments about Luna being such a troubled girl, but there’s a softness there.
Bridget asks if anyone called Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park). Li says she’ll handle that. She wants to be the one to tell Poppy about her daughter. Suddenly, alarms blare as Li screams Luna’s name.
