The Friday, April 1 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful made waves with viewers for several reasons. The episode featured a long-awaited confrontation between Steffy and Sheila. This spurs Finn to action, stepping between his mother and his love — both literally and physically.

According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the end of the episode teases a violent showdown. Not only could the episode lead to the end of Finn’s time on The Bold and the Beautiful, but it could change the course of Steffy’s life forever.

In addition to the drama between Steffy, Sheila, and Finn, Ridge has his concerns about Sheila’s actions as well. He even gets Taylor involved by asking her to reconsider the way she’s been micromanaging Sheila’s office visit. With Sheila’s loose-cannon ways and Finn’s determination to protect his family, viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful could look forward to major drama.
