Steffy's realization and Sheila's provocation on The Bold and the Beautiful

Steffy was shocked when she learned that she didn't stab her mother-in-law Sheila but a lookalike named Sugar. Things got wilder on the episode of The Bold and the Beautiful when Finn spilled the beans and left Steffy in shock and disbelief about Sheila still being alive.

"Sheila’s dead. Don’t try to tell me otherwise," Steffy said.

In order to convince Steffy of this, Finn told her that Sugar had ten toes while Sheila didn't, only making the situation bizarre for Steffy.

In a dramatic hospital scene, Sheila, who was hiding under a sheet, teased Li with personal details only she would have known. This led to a tense showdown as Li, who was surprised and upset, confronted Sheila about her supposed death at Steffy's hands.

"No, no, no. Not possible. Steffy killed you. She stabbed you," Li said.

Sheila's calm and mysterious responses exposed the web of lies surrounding her return to The Bold and the Beautiful.

Steffy, who was still unable to believe the turn of events, said that Sheila being alive and Sugar looking "exactly like Sheila" was quite ridiculous.

“Sheila is alive, and Sugar looks exactly like Sheila. Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds?” Steffy wondered.

However, over the course of the episode, Steffy did come to terms with the fact that Sheila was alive. However, she couldn't believe it when she discovered that it was Sugar who was causing trouble at her house and not Sheila. To add to all the chaos, Finn telling Steffy that her mother-in-law is alive only created confusion in her mind.

“We took her back to Deacon’s apartment. We found her, we saved her. My mother’s alive,” Finn kept saying.

Everyone processed the news of Sheila supposedly coming back to life with Steffy, Finn, and the rest of the family tried to understand how it all happened. Finn believed Sheila was alive, based on Deacon's testimony but this caused tension with Steffy, who wasn't sure about it.
