The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Tuesday, November 1, reveals that John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) discovered Hope Spencer’s (Annika Noelle) “hot” secret while Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) rejected a model’s date offer.
At Forrester Creations, Hope made some last-minute design adjustments and seemed nervous ahead of the fashion preview. However, Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) assured Hope that she’d be great.
Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) eavesdropped on Hope talking about the talent and support Thomas brought to the table, so he grew concerned. In a moment alone with Hope, Liam admitted he couldn’t wait for this preview to be over since he felt like an outsider looking in.
Hope was spending day in and day out with Thomas, but she angrily asked what Liam expected her to do. After defending the changes Thomas had made, Hope pointed out she couldn’t just swap out her designer the day before the preview.
Liam understood and apologized for adding to Hope’s stress, but he also asked her to make him one promise. When this was all over, Liam wanted Hope to try to help him convince Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) to come home.
At Il Giardino, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) ranted about Liam missing their meeting earlier, but then he remembered Hope’s big fashion preview was coming up. Liam was trying to be a supportive husband, but he feared Thomas was worming himself deeper and deeper into oblivious Hope’s life.
Once Bill learned about Douglas’ request to spend the whole weekend with his “real parents,” he flipped out. Bill insisted Liam had been a dad to Douglas while Thomas was kissing mannequins!
Liam said Thomas was pulling the strings, but Bill was appalled over Hope letting herself be the puppet. Although Liam hoped things would get back to normal after the preview, Bill warned that nothing was normal when it came to Thomas.
Back at Forrester Creations, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was surprised when Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) offered updates on some closed deals. Justin had worked exceptionally fast, so he confessed he aimed to please and wanted to use his powers for good.
Afterward, Steffy quizzed Thomas about working with Hope, so Thomas let it slip that Hope thought he was hot. Thomas assured Steffy it was true, but then he decided she should just forget it and said they didn’t want anyone getting the wrong idea.
Steffy argued that if Finn could keep a secret, then so could she. Thomas looked behind him and realized Finn had overheard, so Finn teased him a bit – though he added that Thomas shouldn’t read too much into Hope’s “hot” comment.
Steffy agreed and worried about the look Thomas had in his eyes. Since Steffy didn’t want Thomas getting obsessed again, she warned him not to go backward.
Thomas mentioned that Douglas wished his parents could love each other, so Steffy wondered if he honestly thought Hope would leave Liam to be with her. Finn pointed out that Liam and Hope had a kid together, but Thomas noted that he shared a child with Hope, too.
Steffy warned that Thomas couldn’t get obsessed, but Thomas denied that he was and argued that Hope was the one who said he was hot.
After Thomas left, Finn gushed about how hilarious Steffy was with her brother and admitted he felt like he missed out on the whole sibling rivalry thing. Once Finn praised Steffy as a good sister, he tried to convince her to ditch work early and spend the evening with him.
Steffy had to stick around because of Hope’s preview prep, so Finn said he’d keep dinner warm for her. After Steffy reflected on the shift in Hope, she wondered about Liam’s reaction to Hope and Thomas getting along.
In the design office, Petra (Alexis Gaube) the model asked Thomas to grab a drink after the preview, but he said he’d probably be busy tucking his son in. Once Petra assured Thomas that she understood, she said it was good to know he was a great dad and not just a great talent.
After Petra left, Hope told Thomas that all the progress he’d made in the last year didn’t go unnoticed. Thomas had grown both as an artist and a father in Hope’s eyes.
Once Thomas told Hope there was nothing that he wouldn’t do for her, she confessed to being nervous about the fashion preview. Thomas had some butterflies, but he insisted they were from excitement and felt that they had nothing to stress about.
As Thomas visualized Hope in his showstopper, he predicted their success and described the scene. Thomas insisted this would be one of the greatest moments of their lives and assured Hope that everyone would love her.
“How could they not?” Thomas asked on Tuesday’s B&B episode. “Tomorrow, Hope…tomorrow.”
