The Aug. 5 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered a mix of emotional twists and high-stakes drama as Brooke faced a terrifying moment after a romantic dinner with Nick ended with her falling off a boat. Meanwhile, Grace’s shocking confession about Liam’s fake brain tumor stunned the show. On the other hand, Ridge raced to stop Nick’s proposal, ending in danger for Brooke.
Grace admits: Liam never had a brain tumor
At the hospital, Finn became more suspicious about Liam’s condition. He pointed out several red flags, including an out-of-area surgery, an unknown doctor, and Grace’s strange behavior.
After confronting Grace, she finally broke down and admitted that the entire brain tumor diagnosis was fake. She said she did it to protect her daughters, Paris and Zoe, from dangerous people who were threatening them over Reese’s gambling debts.
Grace explained that she faked the scan and diagnosis because she was desperate. Finn was left in disbelief, realising that Liam had undergone unnecessary surgery.
Ridge tries to stop Nick’s proposal
Earlier, Eric warned Ridge that Nick might be planning to propose to Brooke. Not wanting Brooke to make a big mistake, Ridge rushed out to stop it. He went to the docks and heard someone talking about Nick’s boat having rudder problems. Ridge immediately became worried and started looking for Brooke.
Meanwhile, Nick and Brooke enjoyed a quiet Italian dinner before heading to the boat. While Brooke relaxed in the back of the boat, Nick struggled to control the craft. As another boat quickly approached, Brooke lost her balance and fell into the water. Ridge, who had just arrived, saw this happening and quickly dove in to save her.
Liam opens up about hope for baking
Back at the Spencer mansion, Liam spent time with Hope and joked about how she cared for him. He opened up about Reese’s past mistakes and how Grace had supposedly saved his life. Hope agreed that Grace seemed like a kind person and said they owed her, not knowing the truth that had just come out at the hospital.
