The Bold and the Beautiful Recap (July-30-2025): Li Desperately Protects Luna as Brooke and Ridge’s Italy Trip Reaches Breaking Point

The Bold and the Beautiful

Brooke Logan reached her emotional limit during a high-profile fashion show in Capri, while Li Finnegan continued to hide Luna Nozawa’s true condition in a secret location. Meanwhile, Sheila Carter’s relentless pursuit of answers about her granddaughter’s fate led to a tense confrontation at Il Giardino.

Brooke’s Emotional Breakdown Overshadows Capri Fashion Show

The episode opened with Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan cruising along the Amalfi coastline in a speedboat, with the song Unforgettable playing in the background. The romantic setting evoked memories of their past, particularly their iconic Portofino wedding. However, the mood shifted when Eric Forrester privately warned Ridge about witnessing Brooke’s kiss with Nick Marone the previous night. Eric urged Ridge to “seize the day” and reconsider his commitment to Taylor Hayes, reminding him of his deep history with Brooke.

During the fashion show, Brooke stunned the crowd as the showstopper model, wearing a bold jumpsuit that drew gasps and applause. However, the event took an uncomfortable turn when reporters pressed Ridge and Brooke for joint photos, dubbing them the “king and queen of fashion.” A question about Ridge’s engagement to Taylor caused visible tension, and Brooke eventually fled the scene, overwhelmed by the emotional weight of their unresolved relationship. Ridge followed her to a seaside patio, where she tearfully confessed, “Every time I look at you, I can see how much you love me, but youโ€™re too damn stupid and stubborn to admit it.” Ridge stopped her from leaving, declaring, “Youโ€™re not leaving,” as the episode ended on a cliffhanger.

Li’s Dangerous Gamble to Save Luna

Back in Los Angeles, Li Finnegan was shown tending to an unconscious Luna Nozawa in a hidden apartment. Injecting an unknown substance into Luna’s IV, Li vowed, “Iโ€™m not going to let you die.” This secretive care contradicted Li’s earlier claims to Sheila that Luna had passed away, suggesting a cover-up to protect Luna from further harm.

Meanwhile, Sheila Carter grew increasingly frustrated by Li’s silence. After being ignored via calls and texts, Sheila confronted Li at Il Giardino, demanding to know where Luna’s body had been buried or ashes scattered. Li coldly dismissed her, refusing to provide closure. Sheila’s desperation hints at future confrontations, especially if she discovers Li’s deception.

Nick’s Arrival and Eric’s Interference

Nick Marone, determined to reconnect with Brooke, secured alternative transportation after his boat repairs were delayed. He arrived at the fashion show venue, only to be intercepted by Eric, who bluntly told him, “Youโ€™re not welcome here.” Nick’s persistence suggests he will play a pivotal role in the escalating Brooke-Ridge-Taylor triangle.

Whatโ€™s Next?

With Brooke at her breaking point and Ridge refusing to let her walk away, their confrontation in Capri could lead to a major decision about their future. Meanwhile, Li’s secret care of Luna risks exposure, especially if Sheilaโ€™s suspicions grow.
