The Bold and the Beautiful: Everything to know about what happened in the episode (October 21, 2025)

Steffy confronts Luna

Steffy Forrester told Luna her feelings in a prison scene. Steffy reiterated that Luna's pregnancy would not free her. Steffy told Luna that her actions proved she was a predator. Luna, still believing her child would get her out of jail, ignored Steffy's warning, saying Bill and Katie would rescue her. Steffy insisted that Luna's manipulation and lies had no place in their family. Steffy promised Luna that she would spend the rest of her life in prison, ending the confrontation.

Bill makes a bold promise

Bill Spencer stated at the Spencer mansion that Luna was not welcome in his family, regardless of her pregnancy. He reassured Will that the custody battle would be easy and that Luna would never see the baby. Bill told Will that he regretted letting Luna manipulate him in the past but wanted to fix it. Bill's determination to punish Luna was clear as he spoke with Katie and Will. Will found closure in Bill's promise to control the situation and use his influence to keep Luna in prison, but it foreshadowed more drama.

Luna turns to desperation: A dark turn behind bars

Luna's desperation boiled over in prison. Luna was alone after her heated argument with Bill. She ordered her cellmate to beat her in a shocking turn of events to gain an advantage. Luna specifically asked her cellmate not to hurt her stomach, showing her manipulation. Her cellmate, eager to comply, punched Luna in the face, bruising her. It became a dark patch that shows Luna's willingness to use violence to gain sympathy and freedom. This scene showed a big change in Luna's character; she seems ready to give up everything to avoid facing the consequences of what she did.

As the episode of The Bold and the Beautiful continues to unfold, the situations keep growing complex. Steffy’s confrontation with Luna, Bill’s promise to protect his family, and Luna’s desperate attempts to manipulate the system are only the beginning of a complex web of drama.
