Next week's previews for The Bold and the Beautiful show Ivy being sneaky and Daphne catching her in the act. In a black and white preview (possibly a flashback), Daphne witnesses Ivy putting a piece of paper in her purse. What's that about?

Ivy gives Daphne an order on The Bold and the Beautiful

In the past two or three weeks, The Bold and the Beautiful's Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) has arguably become the most hateful character on the show. It was bad enough that she acted like Cinderella's wicked stepmother, banishing down-on-her-luck Dylan (Sydney Bullock) not only from Will's (Crew Morrow) beach house but from the entire city of L.A. Now, Ivy is even ordering Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) around, after Daphne catches Ivy putting a mysterious piece of paper in her purse. "Don't you dare tell anyone about this," Ivy warns her.

What is written on the piece of paper? Is it a letter Will wrote to Electra (Laneya Grace) and left for her in the room where she makes jewelry? Maybe he's making a last-ditch effort to win her back, but Ivy finds the letter before Electra does?

On a side note, does this mean that Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are already back from their honeymoon (assuming they took one)? Goodness, with all the money Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) must pay Carter, couldn't Carter afford to take his bride on a two-week-long honeymoon? It just feels like the newlyweds should be off the canvas for another week or two.

Will sees RJ kissing Electra -- and Ivy watches in the background

Poor Will is going to be even more heartbroken when he spots RJ (Brayan Nicoletti) and Electra kissing. Meanwhile, sneaky Ivy stands in the background and watches the entire scene unfold. What is up with her, and why is she dead-set against Will and Electra's relationship? It's not like Ivy wants him for herself, and it's not like she witnessed Dylan making any actual moves on him (although we have seen Dylan make googly eyes at Will on numerous occasions).

What's ridiculous about this storyline is that Will and Dylan didn't bother to explain to Electra what really happened that night in his house, and Electra didn't even bother to ask. All three of them are behaving stupidly in this scenario. We know this is a soap, but there should still be some degree of realism. You don't just storm out of your boyfriend's house in a huff without even asking him, "Could you please just start at the beginning? Tell me exactly what happened." Hear the guy out!

Because really, what is improper about a guy watching a young woman in a ballerina outfit, doing a few pirouettes around the living room? Why was Electra offended? It's not like Dylan was doing a striptease or a lap dance for Will.

And why was Electra offended that Dylan was wearing a bikini in front of him? Don't lots of women wear bikinis in L.A.? Why didn't Dylan simply tell her that she had just returned from swimming in the ocean? The Bold and the Beautiful writers are making Electra seem like a big baby. Is that how they want her to come across? Misunderstandings happen in soaps all the time, but this one is just plain stupid. It makes all the characters involved look stupid as well.

What's worse is that Daphne is now being dragged into this mess. She has nothing to do with it. And don't even get us started on the whole kissing cousins thing. Blood-related or not, Electra and RJ are still cousins. Doesn't Ivy find it improper that Electra is kissing her own cousin?

We can see where this is all headed...

For many weeks now on The Bold and the Beautiful, it's been obvious that Dylan is smitten with Will. She's extremely grateful that he's giving her a place to stay until she finds a job and her own apartment. She even considers him to be her "prince."

We can already tell, just from those clips for next week, where this is all headed. Will is going to be crushed after seeing Electra kiss RJ. He will then make a beeline to Dylan in his beach house. He will remember the good time they had together the night they watched Hayes (Bryan David Garlick) and the way they connected. That will kick off the start of a romance for Will and Dylan.

But what if Electra regrets kissing RJ and ultimately decides she wants Will back? What if she then makes a beeline for Will's house, she looks through the window, and finds him kissing Dylan? We wouldn't be surprised if that's where this crazy storyline is headed, since that would be pure soapy goodness.

Stay tuned, B&B fans. Next week looks like it's going to be an explosive week for all the young adult characters on the canvas, as well as for Daphne. What did she witness Ivy doing, and what will Ivy do to her if she doesn't keep it a secret? We hope Daphne tells her off, because after all, what could Ivy possibly be holding over her head? What leverage does Ivy have over her? We can't wait to find out!
