The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Monday, January 9, reveals that Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) spoke to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) ahead of the hearing.
Once Taylor talked about how crucial Finn and Steffy’s testimonies would be, she said she was proud of them and felt justice would be served.
In a moment alone, Steffy and Finn continued to worry about Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) throwing Taylor in jail if they testified against Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).
As for Bill, he sought updates over the phone and got someone’s confirmation that they were all set.
In the prisoner visiting area, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) paid Sheila a visit following the news of her arrest and admitted part of him thought she’d beat the odds.
Sheila hinted that maybe she had indeed beat them, but Deacon felt like this was the end of the road.
Deacon was surprised to see Sheila in such good spirits and questioned why she would go to Bill’s place that night.
Since Deacon expected Finn and Steffy to make her out to be the “devil’s spawn,” he vowed not to abandon Sheila while she was behind bars.
Sheila pointed out that everyone always underestimated her, but Deacon wasn’t trying to make things more difficult and just wanted her to know their time together meant a lot.
Deacon assured Sheila that he would visit and promised that he’d never turn his back on her, so Sheila smiled as she said goodbye and let the guard take her away.
At Forrester Creations on Monday’s B&B episode, Taylor met up with Brooke and gave her a hug since they’d missed each other. The pair discussed Sheila’s arrest along with Bill’s role in turning her in.
Although Taylor acknowledged her complicated history with Bill, she was grateful that Sheila would be out of their lives.
Taylor said Sheila was untreatable since Sheila didn’t think she needed to be treated. Regardless, Taylor was just glad to know Sheila would be put away securely.
Since Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) was doing some traveling and soul-searching, Steffy filled Finn in and said she told her dad not to come home.
Ridge assumed he knew what would happen at the hearing, so Steffy acknowledged that he wasn’t fighting her on this.
Finn struggled with the idea of not testifying against Sheila, but he knew he wasn’t Steffy’s fault that Bill was blackmailing them. Steffy hoped that maybe there was still time for Bill to come to his senses.
If Taylor knew what Bill was doing, Steffy warned that she would go straight to the police and sacrifice herself.
When Bill met up with Steffy and Finn ahead of the hearing, he reminded them of their deal.
Finn pointed out that Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) could come forward, but Bill said she’d have to be kept quiet.
After Bill pointed out that Li smuggled Finn out of the hospital to fake his death, he hinted about the negative impact on her career.
Finn realized Bill was threatening Li now and fumed.
Before Bill left, he urged Steffy to remember that Sheila’s freedom meant Taylor’s freedom. Steffy cried in Finn’s arms as they continued to deal with all Bill’s drama.
While Finn and Steffy were trying to decide what to do, Bill watched and listened elsewhere through a camera.
When Sheila arrived for the hearing with her attorney (Rodney Van Johnson), she warned Steffy as well as Finn to do what was best for everyone and added that they knew why.
Judge Craig McMullen (Joe Lando) appeared and got the hearing underway, so he thanked Finn and Steffy since their testimonies would be crucial.
After Judge McMullen went over a couple details regarding Sheila being Finn’s bio mom, he was ready to proceed with the case.
Judge McMullen wanted to kick things off with Finn, who looked nervous along with Steffy.
Sheila looked up at the camera in the judge’s chambers and smirked while Bill continued to watch what was happening on the screen.
Bill seemed pensive over what might happen next.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Bill will keep working to make Sheila a free woman, so stay tuned!
