The Bold and the Beautiful Moments to Watch (October 13–17): Deacon Turns to Taylor After Sheila’s Betrayal
his week on The Bold and the Beautiful, heartbreak, betrayal, and buried emotions come to light as Deacon Sharpe faces one of the most devastating weeks of his life. His marriage to Sheila Carter implodes under the weight of her lies — and in a surprising twist, he turns to Taylor Hayes for help. What follows is a week of introspection, emotional vulnerability, and hard truths for Deacon, Hope, and Deke alike.
Deacon Faces the Fallout
Deacon (Sean Kanan) has survived his share of heartbreak and scandal, but nothing could prepare him for Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) latest betrayal. After discovering that she kept the shocking secret of Luna’s survival, Deacon’s entire world begins to unravel.
The revelation cuts deep — not just because Sheila lied, but because she proved that she’ll always put her impulses and obsessions above honesty. Their fragile marriage, built on promises of reform and redemption, collapses overnight.
For once, however, Deacon doesn’t retreat into anger or self-destruction. Instead, he takes an uncharacteristically vulnerable step forward — asking for help.
“For Deacon, this is a moment of reckoning,” says a show insider. “He’s confronting his pain head-on, not trying to drown it out.”
Taylor Becomes His Confidant
In a twist no one saw coming, Deacon turns to Dr. Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) for guidance. The two begin therapy sessions that strip away Deacon’s trademark bravado and expose the guilt and grief he’s kept buried for years.
Taylor’s calm professionalism and empathy allow him to open up in ways he never has before. As the sessions progress, Deacon begins to realize that his marriage to Sheila might not just be fractured — it may be beyond repair.
“Sheila’s silence was the loudest message of all,” Deacon confides. “I thought I could save her. Turns out, she never wanted saving.”
Of course, Sheila won’t take kindly to seeing her husband spending time with Taylor — especially as their therapy sessions begin to stir a sense of emotional closeness and mutual respect that she never shared with Deacon.
Deke and Hope Step In
Meanwhile, Deacon’s children — Deke (Harrison Cone) and Hope (Annika Noelle) — find themselves drawn back into their father’s orbit as his emotional walls start to crumble.
Deke, shaken by his father’s pain, turns to Hope for comfort. The siblings share a poignant heart-to-heart about what it means to love someone who’s always been his own worst enemy.
“Dad’s trying,” Hope admits quietly. “For once, he’s really trying.”
Their scene offers a rare moment of unity for the Sharpe family — and serves as the emotional heartbeat of the week.
What’s Next
As The Bold and the Beautiful closes out the week, Deacon begins to see glimmers of redemption on the horizon. Whether his therapy with Taylor leads to healing or heartbreak, one thing is clear: Deacon’s next chapter will be defined by truth, not illusion.
Sheila, meanwhile, is unlikely to accept her husband’s new path — setting the stage for explosive confrontations and potential revenge in the weeks ahead.
