🏡 HOPE & LIAM PREP THE SPENCER HOUSEHOLD FOR THE BIG DAY
The episode opens inside the beautifully decorated Spencer home, glowing with wedding energy. Hope and Liam are running around in a mix of excitement and nerves as they prepare for guests to arrive. Beth and Douglas are both dressed up and helping in their own ways — Beth proudly carrying a checklist she created herself and Douglas making sure the final touches match the “vision” he and Beth worked on.
Hope admires her son, emotional that he returned just in time for the ceremony. She thanks him for being here, and Douglas gives her a heartfelt hug, saying he “would never miss mom’s wedding.” Liam watches the moment with a warm smile, taking in how full-circle their family feels. This portion of the episode emphasizes unity, healing, and the sense that this wedding is more than just a ceremony — it’s a milestone for their blended family.
The doorbell rings, and Liam opens it to find Bill, sharply dressed and ready to step into proud-father-in-law mode. Bill looks around at the decorations and actually compliments Liam and Hope on how beautiful everything looks. He gives Liam a firm pat on the back and even softens enough to call Hope “a glowing bride” before joking that she should run while she still can. Everyone laughs, easing the pre-ceremony jitters.
🏢 RIDGE SKIPS THE WEDDING & STEFFY CONFRONTS HIM AT FORRESTER
Meanwhile, over at Forrester Creations, Steffy walks into the main office and is startled to find Ridge already there. She immediately questions him — it’s Hope and Liam’s wedding day, so why isn’t he at the house supporting his daughter-in-law and granddaughter?
Ridge brushes off the question, but Steffy pushes. Their conversation shifts toward the unavoidable issue between them: Eric’s forced retirement. Ridge reflects on the tension he caused, clearly not at peace with how things unfolded. Steffy wants to support him, but she also defends her grandfather, reminding Ridge that Eric is proud, strong, and not someone who takes decisions like this lightly. The father-daughter exchange grows emotional as Ridge shows small signs of regret but tries to justify his decision as necessary for the company’s future.
Then the conversation shifts — and takes a darker turn — when Steffy brings up Sheila. With Hope getting married and half of Los Angeles showing up at the same location, Steffy warns Ridge they need to be cautious. Ridge assures her that Sheila is not part of the day and will not be allowed anywhere near the wedding… but the two share a look that suggests they both know Sheila is unpredictable when she feels shut out.
🧠 SHEILA SHOCKS TAYLOR — AND SPIRALS INTO RAGE
At Taylor’s office, Taylor is buried in paperwork when the door flies open — and Sheila storms in without knocking. Taylor freezes, startled. Sheila is already tense, flushed, and shaking with anger. Taylor tries to explain that she’s extremely busy and appointments are booked, but Sheila bulldozes right through the boundary, closing the door behind her.
Sheila begins ranting about the wedding. Her voice is sharp, frantic, and spiraling. She tells Taylor she’s furious that she wasn’t invited, insisting that she deserves to stand by Deacon’s side on the biggest day of his daughter’s life. Taylor cautiously tries to redirect the conversation, saying she understands Sheila’s disappointment but the bride and groom made their decision for their own emotional safety.
Sheila, however, becomes more intense. She paces the room, hands waving, breathing hard. She rants about being “treated like a monster” while other people with terrible pasts are forgiven. She even brings up Bill Spencer by name, saying he’s done worse things but he gets to be present while she is shut out “like an animal.”
Taylor grows visibly unnerved. She recognizes Sheila’s triggered state and keeps her voice calm, attempting grounding techniques, but Sheila refuses to slow down. Sheila’s anger, entitlement, and desperation fill the room, creating a thick tension that makes Taylor fear Sheila could snap at any second.
🚗 MORE GUESTS ARRIVE AS WEDDING ENERGY BUILDS
Back at the Spencer house, more wedding guests begin to arrive. Electra shows up with Will, and the two share a sweet collection of scenes. Electra teases Will about his suit and how grown-up he looks, while Will — clearly crushing on Electra — tries to play it cool. They share light, comedic banter, adding fun energy to the episode.
Moments later, the front door opens again and Deacon arrives — with his son Deke. Hope lights up when she sees her father, and she’s touched when Deke hugs her too, congratulating her. Deacon beams with fatherly pride, telling Hope how beautiful she looks even before she’s in her wedding gown. Liam welcomes them warmly, and the whole group fills the home with chatter as excitement grows.
Upstairs, Donna and Katie are helping Hope prepare. They’re fixing her hair, touching up makeup, adjusting jewelry — all the classic sisterly wedding prep moments. Katie jokes about crying too early, Donna gushes about Hope looking like an angel, and Hope expresses how lucky she feels to have the Logan women as her support. It’s a calm, feminine, loving moment before the ceremony.
🌸 BROOKE ARRIVES LATE — WITH BETH’S “SPECIAL FLOWERS”
Brooke finally rushes in through the door, breathless and apologizing. She explains she’s late because Beth insisted she pick up a very specific bouquet with very specific colors. Everyone laughs at how seriously Beth takes her role in the wedding.
When Brooke heads upstairs and joins Donna, Katie, and Hope, the four Logan women come together in a warm group hug. The moment is emotional — four generations of Logan history, strength, and family pride wrapped into one cluster of beautiful scenes. They share compliments, tears, laughs, and a mutual sense that today represents hope, healing, and love.
👔 BILL & LIAM SHARE A FATHER–SON MOMENT
Downstairs, the Spencer men gather. Bill and Liam share quiet scenes talking about the wedding, about family, and about how far Liam and Hope have come. Bill actually gets sentimental — a rare moment for him — saying he’s proud of the man Liam has become. Liam thanks his father for being here, and Will joins in, forming a rare full Spencer family moment that feels united rather than chaotic.
Shortly after, Bill and Katie cross paths and share some affectionate, reflective moments. It’s not romantic — yet — but there’s a warmth that hints at how close they are to rekindling things. They exchange smiles and gentle touches, the kind that signal a future where old wounds finally begin to heal.
🏢 STEFFY & RIDGE CONTINUE REFLECTING AT FC
Back at Forrester Creations, Steffy and Ridge regroup once more. Steffy presses Ridge again about missing the wedding. Ridge deflects, saying it’s best he stays away to avoid stirring up tension. But Steffy gently urges him to think about healing, not hiding.
Their conversation returns to Sheila. Steffy emphasizes she doesn’t want anything to overshadow Hope’s big day — and Ridge assures her that Sheila is not a threat… though he doesn’t fully believe it. Both sense something brewing in the background, a force gathering energy — and that force is Sheila Carter.
🔥 SHEILA’S SPIRAL TURNS INTO A PLAN
Back in Taylor’s office, Sheila’s rage hits new levels. She vents, cries, yells, and spirals through every excuse and justification she can grasp. Taylor, in full therapist mode, tries to anchor her, saying crashing the wedding would be catastrophic. She gently reminds Sheila that Deacon loves her, but showing up uninvited could destroy everything they’ve built.
For a moment, Sheila seems to hear her. She sits, breathing fast, staring off into space. But then the wheels turn. Her eyes shift. And a dangerous idea forms.
Taylor sees it instantly and tries to stop her — warning her not to crash the wedding, not to do anything impulsive, not to sabotage her future. But Sheila stands up slowly, chillingly calm now, and smiles in a way that makes Taylor’s heart drop.
Sheila has made up her mind.
The spiral has become a plan.
💒 FINAL MOMENTS — THE CEREMONY BEGINS
The episode ends at the Spencer home. Everyone begins taking their seats. There’s soft music, happy chatter, and a glowing sense of anticipation.
The camera cuts upstairs where Hope takes her father’s arm. Deacon looks overwhelmed with emotion, trying not to cry. Hope takes a breath and nods — she’s ready.
They begin descending the staircase slowly, framed beautifully by flowers and soft lighting. Liam stands at the altar, eyes widening with love and admiration as Hope appears.
The final shot closes in on Hope and Liam locking eyes, smiling directly at one another as Deacon walks his daughter down the aisle.
