Watching Friday\u2019s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, all I could think to say was, \u201cWhat the\u2026 ?!?\u201d There was Steffy, who shares a take-no-prisoners attitude as well as a name with her late grandmother, behaving\u2026 \u201cBizarrely\u201d doesn\u2019t seem like the right word. She wasn\u2019t just out of character, she was far out. Let me explain.<\/p>\n

So Will was telling Steffy that he was thinking of leaving Forrester Creations and his apparently vital role of Senior Executive Intern in Charge of Fabric Swatches or whatever it is. And she was encouraging him to stay. All together now: What?!?<\/p>\n

Make It Make Sense<\/p>\n

Will is the son of Katie, who just quit Forrester to run a rival fashion house, and Bill, who is Steffy\u2019s dad Ridge\u2019s sworn enemy. So on what planet would she want Will around? 1. His continued presence all but invites the youngster to steal Forrester designs for his parents. 2. Steffy\u2019s crazy about second cousin Electra, so why would she put her in the awkward position of working with her ex? And 3. Steffy is the kind of bulldozer CEO who forces Hope to fire her own brother because there isn\u2019t enough room at the inn for him. But there\u2019s space on the payroll for the son of the tag team that\u2019s hoping to trounce Forrester in the fashion wars?<\/p>\n

Does she remember him more fondly as a tyke than we realized?<\/p>\n

Method to the Madness<\/p>\n

I get it, of course. The show wants to keep Will at Forrester so that he can constantly bump into Electra and R.J., and they can play that tension. But did it have to come at Steffy\u2019s expense? Did it have to feel like she\u2019d been abducted by aliens and replaced with a softy who says things like \u201cI really admire everything you\u2019re doing here\u201d?<\/p>\n

What is he even doing?<\/p>\n

Steffy called him a \u201chustler,\u201d but the only thing we\u2019ve ever seen him hustle to do is make out with Electra. We hear that he attends meetings, but what can they possibly entail? Jamie and Kingsley lusting after him?<\/p>\n

It was only a hot minute ago that Steffy was lowering the boom on her own mother, threatening to cut Taylor off from her grandkids if she pursued a relationship with Deacon. Where was that bottom-line, my-way-or-the-highway Steffy in this conversation with Will? Would Forrester\u2019s CEO even give the time of day to an intern \u2014 no matter if he\u2019s the Senior Exalted Intern in Charge of Pincushions? If she did, the Steffy we know would\u2019ve bid good riddance to the potential corporate spy in the time it takes to blink.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, though, it seems likelier that Will has so much clout that he\u2019ll be pitching Steffy a line of Dylan\u2019s shrunken shirts, and she\u2019ll be like, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t we think of this years ago!\u201d?<\/p>\n
