Bold and the Beautiful Recap March 6: Steffy Chose Finn, But Will He Choose Her?
The Bold and the Beautiful recap for March 6 saw Steffy commit to Finn, Finn keeping a secret, and Hope getting in Daphne Rose’s face.
What Happened Today On The Bold and the Beautiful?
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was confused about what Finn’s (Tanner Novlan) point was. What more could he possibly tell her about Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Well, where she is right now. Steffy went off about Luna being in jail and how grateful she was that the woman who tried to kill her is locked away. Hearing that, Finn decided against telling Luna exactly where Luna is and opted to instead ask Steffy what’s next for them.
Steffy made it clear their marriage is her number one priority, and she’s not going anywhere. She promised to stand by his side. Poor Finn got so emotional all he could do was hold her and apologize (all while keeping mum on where his child is living). He even kept quite while Steffy was pledging her love and devotion to their life together, despite everything. Unfortunately, Steffy may have gone too far by asking Finn to never think or speak about Luna again.
An Uncertain Future
As for Luna, Dollar Bill (Don Diamont) came home to find her crying as she reflected on Finn’s bombshell reveal. He’s her father. She didn’t seem quite ready to tell Bill about the whole situation yet, though. Especially not after he touted how much he’s come to trust her in his house to follow all the rules. Oops. Oh, if he only knew.
Luna told Bill she felt like her whole life keeps changing…but for the better this time. She then tested the waters by bringing up her dad and mentioned her wish that Tom isn’t her father. What if Poppy (Romy Park) isn’t her only living parent? While Bill thought that was interesting, he didn’t catch onto the fact this was more than wishful thinking.
Meanwhile, over at the Forrester mansion, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) discussed the drama in Finn’s family and its effects on their daughter. What if Finn feels obligated to Luna? Where will that leave Steffy? When is their daughter going to have a normal, sane life? They made a solemn vow to keep their daughter safe and were confident Finn would do the same.
Hope and Daphne Faced Off
Over in the design room, Hope (Annika Noelle) outright asked Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) if she has feelings for Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and confronts her about the kiss. Yes, she saw. Now, she wants answers. Daphne Rose said she shouldn’t have done that, sure, but what about what Hope’s done? Stealing Carter from his best friend? Yeah…that’s worse.
Daphne Rose then called Hope out for not recognizing how upset Carter is about the whole coup. If she truly loves Carter why won’t she see how much pain he is in? Why isn’t she working to alleviate it instead of adding to it. Hope tried to control that narrative but Daphne Rose wasn’t buying it. She knew Hope was using Carter and didn’t hide her disdain. Hope admitted she wanted revenge but denied Carter was part of her plan. She swore up and down she actually cares about him.
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.
