What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

Electra showed Will one of her new jewelry pieces to get his opinion. He suggested that she break off on her own because she had the talent to do so. However, Electra thought she had a lot to learn from Ivy, and she appreciated that she had her back personally and professionally.
Will reverted back to his concerns about Dylan. She hadn't reached out at all, which Will found to be bizarre. However, Ivy interrupted, urging the couple to put Dylan out of their minds. They were confused as to why she'd want them to forget about Dylan.
Ivy reminded them that Dylan created a new life elsewhere, and she hoped they'd do the same in Los Angeles. She thought back to paying Dylan to escape town and never return. She promised to expose everything to Electra if she didn't comply. Electra hoped that Dylan could find someone to share her life with as she had with Dylan.
Ivy asked Will and Electra to drop the subject of Dylan. She explained that she didn't believe they'd ever hear from her again. Electra, despite the issues she may have had with Dylan, wished that wasn't true. She considered Dylan a close friend and hoped she wasn't out of her life forever.
Will remarked that he needed to take off to Il Giardino to pick up some food. He was completely unaware that all his questions would soon be answered. Unfortunately for Ivy, her attempt to blackmail Dylan was one step closer to being exposed.
Ivy tried to praise Electra's new piece, but her mind was elsewhere. Electra was focused on Dylan and began to worry that something had gone wrong. If they were such good friends, why would she completely drop off the grid? Ivy reminded Electra that she never approved of Dylan moving in with Will.
Electra admitted that Dylan living in Will's guest house bothered her. However, that didn't change the fact that she was worried about her. Ivy tried to dissuade Electra from taking up any space in her brain. It was best to just carry on as if it had never happened.

At Il Giardino, Dylan looked frozen in fear while she spoke to Deke. He realized she'd been taking the leftover pizza, and she offered to get out of his way. However, Deke handled her gently. He understood what it was like to be down on his luck, so he was prepared to help her.
Dylan was embarrassed, and she didn't want to talk about it. Deke asked her to join him in the restaurant, so he could get her something to eat that wasn't straight out of the trash. Dylan explained that she was close to getting back on her feet, but things fell apart. She applied to be an art teacher, but she hadn't caught a break yet.
Deke sympathized with Dylan, and he offered her a job. It wasn't what she wanted, but she was thrilled to accept the job. However, Dylan requested to work away from the public. She declined to explain why, but she asked Deke for something that wouldn't have her working out front. Luckily, there was a dishwashing job available, so she snagged it.
Will arrived soon after, and he and Deke discussed how he was cut from the Hope for the Future line. Deke understood because he wasn't a Forrester, so there wasn't really a long-term future for him at the company. He was just happy to have a job, and thankfully, Deacon's restaurant provided that.
Will spiraled into a conversation about Dylan, using her name, and it looked like Deke put the pieces together. It was too coincidental not to. However, Will spotted who he believed to be Dylan behind the bar, and he whispered her name to himself.
Will raced behind the restaurant, and he confirmed his suspicions that it was her. Dylan told Deke that it was fine to be left alone with Will, and once he was gone, Will wanted answers. He knew Dylan was lying and demanded the truth.
Will asked why Dylan would return to living out of her car. She claimed that she didn't have a choice, but he wouldn't accept that. Will pleaded with Dylan to come clean because she could trust him. He was worried about her, but Dylan confessed that she had no choice because that is what "she" ordered her to do.
Will still didn't know what Dylan was referring to, and he asked her to be clearer. Who was issuing these demands? Dylan finally snapped and had enough of the deception. She declared, "It was Ivy. Okay? Ivy."

At Forrester's CEO office, Daphne emerged, hoping Ridge had agreed to be Carter's best man. Carter confirmed that Ridge agreed to do it. He asked how Steffy's party was, and Daphne revealed that Steffy was her matron-of-honor. Ridge gave the couple some space while he left to take care of a few things.
Carter and Daphne discussed their plans for the future, and they debated future housing arrangements. He suggested a house with a white picket fence, but that wasn't what she had it mind. Carter discussed the idea of a high-rise overlooking the city, but Daphne only wanted it if it came with a spa on-site.
Ridge returned and informed Carter that the surprise for Daphne was ready. Daphne wondered what it could be, and Ridge replied that it was something that Carter wanted for her. In the showroom, Ridge presented Daphne with a one-of-a-kind wedding dress, and she was in love.
Carter asked Daphne to slip into the dress so he could soak in the sight of how she looked in it. Daphne emerged on the runway wearing the gown, and she was a complete vision. Carter's breath was taken away by the image of his bride-to-be wearing this custom dress.
Daphne felt like a princess, and she couldn't believe she was living this fairy tale. Carter asked her if she was excited enough to have the wedding right then. Daphne asked if he was serious, and he said, "Let's get married. Right here. Right now."
