Carly finishes telling Jack about Janet and Dusty, how upset it makes her to see Jack torture himself when this is going on. Carly thinks this changes everything, but Jack disagrees. There’s still family to think about. Jack has to go work it out. Jack goes to Metro to see Dusty but hears he’s out of town, and guesses Minneapolis. Dusty, meanwhile, has been there for Janet and Liberty. Liberty prepares for a treatment and Janet stays behind. Dusty returns to the hotel to find Jack there wanting to discuss the Janet situation. Jack defends his marriage while Dusty criticizes that they haven’t been there for each other. Dusty admits he’s in love with Janet, just before Janet arrives. Craig’s livid to discover Carly’s only dragged him to Minnesota so she can go after Jack. He locks her in the hotel room. Meanwhile, Jack confronts Janet and Dusty about their infidelity. Dusty claims that he loves Janet. Janet won’t beg for Jack to forgive her, because all she can do is focus on Liberty. Carly interrupts their conversation, having broke out the hotel room. Craig joins the group as well, just as Carly tells all that Jack planned to return to her, and leave Janet, before he found out that Liberty was sick. Janet’s upset by this news, and even more upset that everyone else seemed to be informed but her. Carly says now that the truths out everyone can be with who they want to be, but Dusty notes it’s not that simple. Jack forces everyone out so he can talk to Janet alone. Janet asks him point blank if he’s in love with Carly and he says yes. Janet and Jack agree they should get that annulment, but Janet still wants to have a baby for Liberty. Dusty and Craig try to drink their sorrows away, while Carly settles for a chocolate bar. Carly looks into IVF and runs the idea past Janet and Jack. She thinks it’s an ideal solution for Jack and Janet to have the child they’re looking for without actually sleeping together, which would sadden Carly. Janet considers it, but isn’t sure about the idea of quintuplets. Carly suggests giving them away, which Janet passes along to Jack, who himself isn’t sure he could do that. Dusty looks to Jen for her blessing of Dusty’s wanting Janet. Craig gives Parker limited access to his own trust fund, to be used with Jack and Carly’s permission. Parker goes to Minneapolis to visit Liberty, despite her wishes. He goes and makes her laugh, takes some of the edge off. Dusty asks Janet to marry him. He’s tired of the way things are among Jack, Janet and Carly. Janet is so surprised she faints. They go to the hospital. Liberty has spoken to Jack and pleaded with him not to bring a child into the world under these particular circumstances. It wouldn’t be good for the baby, or Liberty, or the kid’s parents, really. Jack then comes in to the hospital and tells Janet he can’t give her a baby. Later, Janet hears that she’s pregnant.
Reid suggests to Katie that she take Henry’s offer of the Stenbeck fortune. Barbara and Henry have enjoyed another romantic night, when Katie is there to talk to Henry. Henry makes Barbara hide, which makes her realize Henry cares what Katie thinks about them. Katie comes in, putting it together and insulting Henry’s taste in women (which irks a hiding Barbara). Barbara is angry with Henry, and storms out, slamming the door on his hand. Barbara then confronts Katie about the money, and Katie knows Henry told Barbara about their own conversations. Henry goes to the hospital and reluctantly receives treatment from Reid. Reid is direct with Henry, saying flat out that Henry himself thinks he’s not good enough for Katie. Katie then cooks Reid an organic dinner and says she’ll miss him, if tomorrow’s hearing goes well for him and he leaves. Reid has a hearing about whether or not he can leave town. Bob and Kim stand up for Reid, much to Reid’s surprise. Luke tells the judge that he should have never pressed charges to begin with. The judge would drop Reid’s case, but Henry says Reid is a criminal for keeping him hostage with a fake diagnosis of TB. The judge let’s Reid go despite Henry’s charges. Katie’s delighted for Reid and livid at Henry. Reid tells Bob he’d stay if the hospital had better facilities, but Bob says they don’t have the funding. Katie asks Henry to donate his money to the hospital. Henry won’t. At the hospital Reid thanks Luke for standing up for him in the court room. There’s a thaw between them, until Reid lets it drop that he is indeed going to leave town now that he has the opportunity too. Luke’s upset, thought Reid wouldn’t abandon Noah’s case. Reid tells Luke that Noah’s going to Dallas with him. Luke confronts Noah, but Noah assures Luke that it’s not about their relationship, it’s about Noah gaining some independence and moving on with his life. Luke begs Reid not to leave, but Reid tells Luke he’s going to make Noah well and that’s the point. Devastated, Luke lets him walk away.
Faith’s in trouble at school for having pot. The headmistress calls her in, and Damian’s there, pretending to be her father. He gets her off the hook, on the condition she comes with him. Damian tells Faith she must work for him, in order to clear Holden’s name. She reluctantly agrees. Molly visits Holden in jail and they agree Damian must’ve set up the body to be identified as his as some part of his scheme. Lily arrives and Molly takes her leave. Lily brings Natalie and Ethan and Holden’s touched. Lily tells Holden she’s behind him. Holden tells her to take the kids and leave town, but Lily won’t abandon him or Damian’s case. Lily’s thrilled Faith’s returned home, not realizing Faith’s return was set up by Damian. Lily and Faith go to visit Holden, and Damian tries to break into Lily’s house, but the presence of the security guard scares him off. Faith’s really upset by seeing Holden in prison and when she gets a text from Damian, as “Max”, she runs out explaining she must take her English Literature exam as an oral on the phone. Faith runs right into Molly, who’s concerned about her. Faith blows Molly off and goes to Damian. Faith asks Damian when he’s going to be able to let people know he’s not dead so Holden can get out of jail. Damian promises he’ll do it soon. Meanwhile, back at the police station, Molly relays to Holden about her run in with an agitated Faith. Holden tells Molly Faith had to run off and take a English Literature exam, and Molly’s suspicions are aroused since when she spoke to Faith, Faith had said she was busy with a Chemistry exam. Holden urges Molly to reach out to a clearly troubled Faith. Back at Lily’s Faith distracts the security guard so Damian can sneak in the house and talk to Lily. Faith tries to divert the security guard to let Damian in to see Lily, but it doesn’t quite work, also because Molly comes in to see Lily about Faith. Molly continues to be curious about Faith, and so calls the headmistress at Faith’s boarding school. Molly hears that Faith’s father was there to pick her up, and Molly is startled and confused. Faith apologizes to Damian for not affording him the chance to see Lily.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ric’s History of Jealousy Where Elizabeth is Concerned Has Come Back Around
On General Hospital, Ric Lansing (Rick Heart) is about to fall back into dangerous old patterns by the foreshadowing during the Wednesday, August 19 episode. After first coming to see his brother, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and telling him of his plan to propose to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) his longtime love tonight, Sonny has concerned.
Next, Sonny reminds his brother of what has happened in the past, when things have gone south with Elizabeth and wonders if it’s too soon for him to propose to her. What Ric did not tell Sonny is that he has seen the developing closeness between Sonny’s son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth, which is propelling his urgent need to propose.
Meanwhile, Dante ran into Elizabeth at the park during a break from their mutual team softball games. She needs help with a bookcase after the game at her house. Dante wants to put it together for her. Later, Dante arrived at Elizabeth’s house, limping after injuring his knee during the game. Head nurse Liz wanted to check out the injury as much as Dante protested, which required him to take off his pants.

RIC BEGINS TO UNRAVEL
Outside Elizabeth’s widow, Ric arrives with a bouquet of roses and the engagement ring. When he leers through the widow he is shocked to see Elizabeth rubbing Dante’s leg while Dante is in his boxer/shorts. He storm troops into the house, demanding to know what is going on here? Both Elizabeth and Dante look surprised by his reaction. In the pick-up of today’s Thursday, August 20 episode (see GH video teaser below), viewers will learn the upshot for all three characters.
A VENGEFUL PAST
As longtime GH fans know, Ric has done some horrible, vengeful things in regards to Elizabeth starting back in 2003 after she lost her baby after Ric’s ex, Faith Rosco pushed her down a flight of stairs. Ric accused Sonny for the accident and to get revenge, Ric kidnapped Carly (who was married to Sonny at the time), and stashed her in a panic room below the house where he was living with Liz.
On top of that, Ric fed his wife Elizabeth birth control pills to keep her from getting pregnant so that they could raise Carly’s baby together after it was born. Eventually, Elizabeth found Carly in the panic room but ended up having a pulmonary embolism. When she woke up in the hospital, Elizabeth was all confused by what happened, and Ric convinced her that her vision of Carly was just a bad dream. Eventually, Elizabeth learned the horrifying truth and divorced Ric.
Years later, Ric noticed the connection between Elizabeth and “Jake Doe” who eventually turned out to be Drew (Billy Miller) A jealous Ric hired Hayden Barnes to show up and claim to be “Jake’s” wife. Elizabeth stepped aside, and when Ric planned to propose to Elizabeth at the 2015 Nurses Ball, Carly exposed his manipulations, and Elizabeth dumped him yet again. And those are just two examples of the lengths Ric will go to for Elizabeth!
So, we ask you, given the history of Elizabeth and Ric, how do you see this playing out with Dante in the picture? How will Ric derail their growing bond? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy and Carter Get Lame Excuses From Their Spouses, and Try to Shake Off Their Night Together
If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?
As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?
That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS
Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.” Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.
Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT
Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.” Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”
Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or, will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”
Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.
Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.
