The Bold and the Beautiful lines up a consequential Friday, October 10, 2025, as episode #9629 brings Bridget Forrester to Bill Spencer and Katie Logan’s home to conduct a paternity test. Taylor Hayes and Brooke Logan also reach a rare agreement: Steffy Forrester should not be told that Luna Nozawa is alive until Luna is safely “behind bars.” Luna is rattled when Bridget arrives, and Will Spencer and Electra Forrester share a sweet moment that keeps their future unresolved. These developments follow a tense October 9, when Ridge Forrester pressed for decisive action while John “Finn” Finnegan and Taylor backed him, and Bill Spencer and Katie Logan argued for keeping Luna close until the truth is known.
What happens on Friday, October 10, 2025 (#9629)
- Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) shows up at Katie and Bill’s, which alarms Luna Nozawa.
- Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) agree that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) should only be told Luna is alive once Luna is “behind bars.”
- Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) share a tender moment amid lingering doubts about what comes next.
How October 9 set the stage
On Thursday, October 9, Ridge made it clear he wanted “no more chances” for Luna at Bill’s house. Finn and Taylor aligned with the push to send Luna back to prison. Katie and Bill countered that keeping Luna close was the safest option until a paternity test provides clarity. The standoff echoed earlier in the year, when Bill freed Luna from prison and placed her under house arrest. The fallout from Li Finnegan secretly saving Luna’s life while allowing others to grieve her has weighed on everyone, especially after Luna took advantage of Will and stoked new divisions. The family clash included raised voices, shifting alliances, and a renewed focus on immediate safety versus longer‑term strategy.
Elsewhere, Will and Electra struggled to define their path forward. Electra was not ready to move on, and she sought advice from Ivy. The couple’s uncertainty frames Friday’s “sweet moment” as both hopeful and fragile in light of Bridget’s impending test.

Paternity test stakes
Bridget’s test is the hinge for nearly every relationship in play. If the results confirm Will as the father, Bill and Katie’s “keep her close” strategy becomes easier to defend, but it would also tether Will to a woman whose history includes violence toward Steffy and a controversial path to pregnancy. That outcome would likely intensify Ridge’s conviction that Will needs protection and spur Finn and Taylor to push even harder for Luna’s return to prison. The test would also confront Electra with a personal threshold: whether she can accept a long‑term tie between Will and Luna as part of her own future.
If the test excludes Will, the center of gravity shifts. Bill’s justification for housing Luna weakens, and Ridge can claim both the moral and practical high ground to remove Luna from the home immediately. Finn’s alignment with Taylor against Luna would harden, while Taylor and Brooke’s pact about Steffy would face a fresh timetable. The safer Steffy becomes, the harder it is to argue for silence. For Electra and Will, a negative result opens space to rebuild trust, but it does not dissolve the emotional damage of recent weeks.
How Finn, Taylor, Ridge, Bill, and Katie are positioned
Finn and Taylor share a zero‑tolerance view of Luna’s proximity to Steffy. Ridge echoes it with his call for “no more chances.” Their strategy prioritizes distance and swift legal action. Bill and Katie counter with a containment approach. By keeping Luna under their roof, they argue, the risks are observable and manageable until the defining facts arrive. Bridget’s arrival forces both plans onto the same clock. Once the test is completed, each side will push for immediate steps that match its worldview.
Electra and Will at a crossroads
Will and Electra’s “sweet moment” on Friday reads as a pause rather than a resolution. Electra’s hesitation has been clear, and each new development tests the couple’s capacity to build something stable. If the test points to Will, the couple must navigate parenting realities, Luna’s presence, and pressure from the Spencer and Forrester families. If the test clears Will, their challenge becomes recovering a sense of normalcy while the larger family battles continue around them.
Why the Friday timing matters
Fridays often deliver the fulcrum on which the next week turns, and episode #9629 follows that tradition. A paternity test compels choices and exposes fault lines between allies. Taylor and Brooke have agreed to protect Steffy by holding back the truth until Luna is “behind bars,” but a result—either way—will test that pact. Ridge and Finn will see the test as permission to accelerate their preferred outcome. Bill will weigh both the test and Will’s state of mind. Katie will continue to balance maternal caution with practical control of the situation under her roof.
Where and when to watch
The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Recent episodes are also available to stream on Paramount Plus, which makes it easy to revisit the October 9 lead‑in before the October 10 developments.
What to watch for next
- Whether Taylor and Brooke maintain their pact once Bridget delivers the results.
- How Ridge and Finn escalate if the test points to Will.
- Whether Bill’s containment plan survives a negative result.
- What Electra decides if Luna’s baby ties her to Will long‑term.
Friday’s episode centers on Bridget’s paternity test, the Taylor–Brooke agreement, and Luna’s reaction at Bill and Katie’s home—three beats that make October 10 essential viewing for fans of The Bold and the Beautiful.
