The Bold and the Beautiful recap (Nov. 18, 2025): Luna confronts Will, Steffy relives past trauma, and the Forresters brace for more fallout
The Tuesday, November 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered escalating tension, emotional fallout, and one chilling mystery as Luna resurfaced to confront Will—while the Forresters and Logans struggled under the weight of the trauma she left behind.
Luna risks everything to face Will
Will was stunned when Luna appeared in the living room of his new beach house, having escaped prison and tracked him down through a social media post. Luna insisted she had “risked everything” to see him and begged him to envision a future where they could raise the baby together.
Will immediately shut down the fantasy. He warned Luna the authorities would be searching for her and vowed to call the police. Luna, spiraling, pleaded with him not to, insisting she couldn’t bear losing him to Electra.
When Will pressed her about the baby, Luna placed her hands over her stomach and looked down—not speaking, but suggesting a devastating truth she hasn’t yet revealed. Will was horrified but unmoved, telling her they would never be together and that any contact must be strictly about the child.
Electra opens up to Ivy about her fears—and her hope
At Forrester, Ivy and Electra reviewed jewelry designs while Ivy gently probed her niece about Will. Electra admitted she was still processing the trauma of the night Luna conceived her baby with Will.
Despite the pain, Electra confessed she could still envision a future with him. She believed they could build a family, though she acknowledged co-parenting with Luna would be painful. Ivy warned her niece not to push herself too far emotionally, especially with Luna still looming over their lives—even from prison.
Steffy relives her nightmare as Finn struggles with guilt
Steffy continued to wrestle with her trauma, telling Finn she still has nightmares about being kidnapped and caged by Luna. Finn did his best to reassure her, insisting that Luna—the daughter he never raised—can no longer hurt them.
Steffy didn’t hold back: “I’m always going to hate your daughter, Finn.”
Finn admitted he sometimes wonders whether things might have been different if he had raised Luna, but he also acknowledged the damage she caused is unforgivable. For now, he is grateful she is behind bars—though Steffy remains shaken by how close Luna came to destroying their family.
Katie and Bill worry Luna has wrecked Will’s future
Bill and Katie grappled with their complicated feelings about the baby Luna is carrying. Bill comforted Katie but couldn’t hide his disgust over how Luna manipulated and harmed their son. Katie feared Will will be “trapped in a nightmare” for life, forced to relive what Luna did every time he looks at his child.
Bill vowed that he and Katie would guide Will through the fallout—and that Luna would suffer every day she remained in prison.
Li and Poppy agree: Luna is beyond redemption
Li confronted Poppy at Il Giardino, furious that her sister ever let Luna come into the world. Poppy admitted she has stopped visiting Luna altogether and now considers her daughter “dead” to her.
Deacon overheard and agreed Luna deserved no sympathy, reminding them she murdered his two closest friends. Li insisted Luna is incapable of remorse or change, and all three hoped she would remain locked away for life.
Where the story heads next
With Luna on the run, a mystery surrounding her unborn child, Steffy’s trauma resurfacing, and Will and Electra growing closer, the fallout from Luna’s crimes is still far from over. And with Finn wrestling with guilt and Poppy and Li at odds, the question looms:
What happens next if Luna refuses to disappear quietly?
