Bold and the Beautiful March 6 Key Moments: Daphne Drops Truth Bombs While Finn Stays Quiet
Thursday’s episode is filled with truth bombs and secrets. Here’s who spilling the tea, staying quiet, and left in the dark.
The drama got tense on the Thursday, March 6 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. Daphne dropped hard, cold truth bombs that Hope needed to hear, while Finn kept another big secret from his wife. Bill is being kept in the dark as well. Read on to see the drama that’s unfolding on this riveting soap.
Mic Drop
Hope (Annika Noelle) thought she could go head-to-head with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire). She warned her to stay away from her man. But Hope wasn’t prepared for what Daphne was going to say next. She questioned whether Hope loved Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). Hope claimed that Carter was the love of her life. Yet, Daphne wasn’t convinced.
She’s spent a lot of time talking to Carter lately. He confessed that he was guilty of taking over Forrester Creations. Hope didn’t even notice that Carter was still feeling guilty. She sure doesn’t act like a supportive girlfriend. But Hope wasn’t going to back down to Daphne without a fight. She warned her not to make another play for him. Hope spoke in French so that Daphne would understand. It looks like we have a new war on our hands.
Keeping Secrets?
Meanwhile, Finn (Tanner Novlan) rushed home to speak to his wife. He felt that she had to know about Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) whereabouts. Yet, something held him back. He felt guilty about meeting his biological daughter. Steffy (Jaqueline MacInnes Wood) told him that she doesn’t blame him for being Luna’s father or Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) son. After all, there’s nothing he can do about his genealogy.
Steffy assured Finn that she understood what he was going through. But she doesn’t want to think about Luna anymore. Steffy’s still convinced that Luna is locked up behind bars. Yet, Finn hasn’t told her the truth. Will he finally come out and say it? Or will he keep his meeting with Luna a secret? He seemed desperate to keep their marriage together. They’ve already been so much. The last thing that Finn wants is for his wife to walk out for him once and for all.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class E450 Review: Is It A Sleeper?
With as much output as the Ferrari Testarossa, the E450 has a powerful engine under the hood and is a luxury fitting for a fat cat sitting at the back. But is it a driver’s car?
Highlights
0-100kmph in 4.5 seconds
375bhp and 500Nm from 3.0-litre straight-six
Costs Rs 92.50 lakh (ex-showroom)
What is a Sleeper?
In car guys’ terms, a ‘sleeper’ means a ‘car with a big powerful engine under the hood, packing in a lot of horsepower’. But that’s any performance car, right? Well, the Sleeper tag comes in if the external appearance of the said car doesn’t give you the slightest hint of just how much power is lurking underneath. But you must be wondering if the car you see in the pictures here is your regular new-generation E-Class. And we had already driven the new E-Class some five months ago when the sixth-generation E-Class landed on our shores. That one was the E200. It had a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine under the hood, which makes just over 200bhp and 320Nm. It’s rear-wheel-drive and can do 0-100kmph in just over eight seconds. You can also have the E-Class with a similar output diesel in the E220d guise.
But what you see here is not your regular E-Class. This isn’t the E63 AMG either; don’t get too excited yet. I wouldn’t have been able to hold my giggles if it was an E63. But this one, it’s the range-topper. Costing over 17 lakh rupees more than the E200 (with a sticker price of Rs 92.5 lakh ex-showroom), this one wears a 450 badge. But does it qualify as a ‘sleeper’?
Under the long bonnet of the E450 sits a straight-six. The 3.0-litre straight-six makes 387bhp and 500Nm. That’s good enough to clock the acceleration time from 0-100kmph in just 4.5 seconds. To give you a perspective, the output is almost 170bhp more than the E200, and the acceleration time is as good as the erstwhile Nissan 370Z or the Porsche 718 Cayman. Want to know some more cars this can keep up with – the Alpine A110S, the Jaguar F-Type RWD or even some American muscle cars? And these are some serious driver’s cars. But the question is – is this E450 a driver’s car?
Well, it is fast, for the starters. The single-scroll turbocharger is ready at boost as soon as you plant your right foot on the accelerator, and the acceleration time of sub-5 seconds is apparent, and all that 500Nm is felt the moment you wring it. The squat position just before the take-off also proves just how intense the horsepower is under the hood. But there’s no hiding the fact that this is a large, heavy sedan.
It will be bought by the fat cat sitting at the back to be chauffeured from one meeting to another. They won’t care about the AWD setup, which reduces the understeer and enhances the grip when tackling a corner. They won’t even bother when say at the traffic light GP this one can smoke almost anything standing next to it. This is a fat, hefty sedan that can crunch the minions the same way the owner sitting at the back does in their respective field.
Sadly, no, this is not the driver’s car you’d want it to be.
It doesn’t feel as eager and as light on its feet as the C-Class does. We have driven the C300, and it feels like a proper sprinter compared to this one. This one has matured a lot to assume the S-Class’s place after all. Similar to that middle-aged uncle we all know who tries to wear a hip t-shirt and sneakers to look and feel young, but he simply cannot escape the fact that with age (and dimension), comes maturity. The E-Class is now more mature. The bigger engine here is to make the commutes swifter rather than thrilling. It can easily sit at triple-digit speeds and can overtake at will. But it’s not there to give an adrenaline rush to the driver.
Apart from the engine, which is smooth, refined, vibration-free at any speed and quite responsive, too, the overall hardware largely remains unchanged. I still wish the E-Class came with a better set of tyres that were a tad grippier and a bit more silent. The steering feels light and easy at slow speeds. But I wish they were a bit more communicative. The ride isn’t too bad, either. It absorbs most irregularities without a bother. The gearbox, too, is smooth, quick-shifting and free from any lags or jerks.
