The investigation into the Il Giardino murders begins in recap for July 17, 2024. We begin today’s episode at the hospital, where Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) can’t believe Tom and Hollis died of the same drug. Li (Naomi Matsuda) confirms that they even died of the same dosing level.
Steffy knows Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) has a background in medicine from when she was a nurse, so there’s no question she did it. Sheila tells Deacon (Sean Kanan) that she knows he’s hurting. He admits he’s freaking out, but she hurries to tell him not to start thinking it was murder.
That’s when Chief Baker (Jacob Daniel Martin) walks in. At Forrester Creations, Hope (Annika Noelle) asks Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) if he’s heard from Steffy. He hasn’t.
But Ridge knows what’s going on here because it’s clear as day. This is all Sheila. He calls Sheila a psychopath.
Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) walks in and tells them that Hollis also died of an overdose. Baker warns them not to leave the door open with all of the deaths around the restaurant. He says they need to investigate, and Sheila looks concerned.
Finn (Tanner Novlan) wonders if they should provoke Sheila. Steffy thinks they all three need to confront Sheila and make her slip up about her guilt. Steffy isn’t going to rest until Sheila is locked up for the rest of her life.
Ridge is trying to understand how two people died in the same place from the same drug overdose. Hope and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) wonder if To.
