The Bold and the Beautiful's Sheila/Deacon/Taylor triangle has been playing out for a few months now, and some B&B fans wonder whether Sheila knows about Deacon's affair with Taylor. Is it possible that she's been hiring a private eye to follow them around and take pictures of them?
Deacon and Taylor's first embrace on The Bold and the Beautiful

If we think back to the first time The Bold and the Beautiful's Deacon (Sean Kanan) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) embraced, we recall that Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) saw them through the slightly opened door to Taylor's office. Maybe she's been suspicious of their sessions ever since then? After all, B&B fans know that Sheila isn't stupid. Perhaps she's been on to them ever since that first embrace, and maybe she's been taking action to find out what else has been going on between them.
For all we know, maybe Sheila hired a private detective off-screen to follow them, snap photos of them together, and then give them to her. That time when Deacon visited Taylor at the cliffhouse, perhaps the detective was parked outside. Maybe he snapped a photo of Deacon entering the house? As far as we know, Taylor is still living there, to be near Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and her family. If Sheila saw that photo, then she would wonder why Deacon was visiting Taylor at her home instead of her office.
If Sheila did hire a PI, then she is getting her money's worth!

Even though Deacon and Taylor haven't had sex (yet), a private eye would still have some damning evidence against them to show Sheila. They've been doing a lot of kissing, so much so that sometimes we feel like we're watching two teenagers at a drive-in movie!
Apparently, Taylor never locks her office door. So, if Sheila's private eye opened the door just wide enough to snap a picture of them kissing, then imagine the smoke that would come out of Sheila's ears at the sight of that picture!
Just last week, Taylor had a very private discussion with Deacon at a table at Il Giardino. Even though there was no physical contact between them, the conversation looked intense and intimate. For all we know, maybe Sheila's private eye was a customer there at the time, sitting at a table in the background, and maybe he took a picture of them talking.
It wouldn't be as damning as a photo of them kissing, but it might give Sheila some evidence that Deacon and Taylor have been carrying on an emotional affair. Coupled with the photos of them kissing and the photo of Deacon visiting the cliffhouse, it all looks pretty bad for Deacon and Taylor. Sheila might think that Deacon had sex with Taylor at the house when Steffy and her family were out!
Why didn't Deacon call out Taylor's name?

If Sheila doesn't know about the affair, then the most entertaining way for her to find out would have been if Deacon had called out Taylor's name when he was in bed with Sheila. It would have been fun to see how Sheila would have reacted! And who knows? Maybe it will still happen, now that Taylor and Deacon have parted ways. As he continues to try to commit himself to his marriage, he may miss Taylor, and he might call out her name the next time he's in bed with Sheila!
But since so many fans of The Bold and the Beautiful suspect that Sheila already knows and is outsmarting Deacon and Taylor, wouldn't it be fun if she's been secretly meeting with a private eye all this time? Maybe she's only pretending that she doesn't know a darn thing.
And then, one day, she fixes a special candlelight dinner for Deacon, presents him with a gift-wrapped box at the table, and inside the box are the photos of him and Taylor kissing. Just imagine the look of horror that would be on his face! That would make for a great Friday cliffhanger.
