Following Will's (Crew Morrow) vicious assault on RJ (Brayan Nicoletti), Electra (Laneya Grace) is reevaluating what she wants for her personal life. Although she already left Will's beach house to look after RJ, she admitted in Tuesday's episode that she remained conflicted about her feelings for him. However, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) made his feelings known about Will and the potential danger he may pose to Electra and her safety. After giving a speech about the many reasons why the Forresters and Spencers don't mix well, he became adamant that Electra run for the hills when it comes to Will.

Expect Ridge to increase his efforts to rid Will from Electra's life on Wednesday. When Ridge delivers an ultimatum to Electra, it's up to her to decide what she wants for her future. She can either remain in the toxic cycle with Will, which, despite their best efforts, consistently ends the same way, or Electra can free herself from the complicated dynamic entirely and focus on her career at Forrester while potentially exploring what could happen with RJ. Electra has a chance at a fresh start and to remove herself from the drama surrounding Will, but will she take it? Electra has a tendency to live with a victim mentality, so there's a high probability of her returning and embracing her martyr attitude.

Sheila Targets Finn's Family

Finn (Tanner Novlan) spent most of Tuesday's episode being a pillar of strength and support for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Between Will's assault on RJ and Hope's (Annika Noelle) defection from Forrester, Steffy is in a constant state of turmoil. However, what Finn doesn't know is that his birth mother is waiting for the perfect opportunity to slip back into his life and finally get to know him and her grandson better. With Finn's attention divided in so many different directions, it may be easier for Sheila to get exactly what she wants.

Sheila makes her true intentions unmistakably clear on Wednesday, putting Taylor (Rebecca Budig) in the most uncomfortable and unenviable position of her life. She wants Taylor to do everything in her power to help her establish a relationship with her son and grandson, even if it defies logic. This could put Taylor in a precarious position with Steffy and potentially create a rift between mother and daughter. However, if Taylor and Deacon (Sean Kanan) are serious about getting Sheila to sign the divorce papers, they know her terms: give her an opening to be a mother to Finn, or she won't be signing her name to the documents.

Do you think Electra should walk away from Will, and will Taylor risk her relationship with Steffy to help Sheila? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
