In a surprising twist, Ivy makes her grand return to Los Angeles,

bringing a significant change to the dynamics in the lives of some familiar faces.

Ivy reveals to Liam that she’s back for the long haul, as her company is

working on a major project in the city. Tasked with overseeing the entire venture, Ivy plans to settle down comfortably in LA, setting the stage for new encounters and developments.

Liam, who’s been single for quite some time, welcomes Ivy’s return with open arms. He’s excited about the idea of reconnecting with her. After all, since his pursuit of Steffy has fizzled out, Ivy seems like a perfect match for him. Not only is she beautiful, but her professional success also makes her an appealing partner. With Ivy sticking around, Liam is sure they’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow closer, and he’s confident that his experience with relationships will win her over.

However, Ivy drops a bombshell: she’s engaged. This revelation hits Liam hard, as Ivy candidly tells him about her fiancé and their upcoming wedding. She gently advises him not to waste his time pursuing her, hoping that Liam will find someone else who’s right for him. Though she appreciates their connection, she doesn’t want to see him remain single because of her.

Despite Ivy’s honesty, Liam refuses to give up. He’s determined to win her over, believing that as long as she hasn’t tied the knot yet, there’s still hope. In Liam’s eyes, his charm, good looks, and impressive family background make him a strong contender for Ivy’s heart. He’s convinced that he can make her reconsider her engagement and choose him instead. Will Liam’s persistence pay off, or will he be left heartbroken as Ivy walks down the aisle with another man?

Meanwhile, in another storyline, Bill stuns everyone by proposing to Poppy. With Luna now behind bars, Bill is eager to help Poppy move on from the painful ordeal of Luna’s imprisonment. Despite everything Luna did, Bill’s feelings for Poppy haven’t changed—in fact, they’ve only grown stronger. He’s determined to support her, hoping that marriage will offer her a fresh start and a new life together.

But Poppy, still shaken from recent events, turns down Bill’s heartfelt proposal. While she’s deeply touched by his love and devotion, she doesn’t feel confident that she can make Bill happy after all that has transpired. She’s thankful for his kindness but believes he deserves a better future with someone else. Poppy’s refusal isn’t out of a lack of love for Bill but rather because she feels he could find greater happiness elsewhere.

As both storylines unfold, the question remains: will Liam’s pursuit of Ivy lead to a romantic victory, and will Bill find a way to convince Poppy that they can build a life together? The tension continues to rise as the characters of *The Bold and the Beautiful* face emotional crossroads, setting up a compelling episode filled with love, heartbreak, and unexpected twists.
