Regrets? They've had a few on The Bold and the Beautiful ©CBS

A bona fide miracle happened with a member of our fictional L.A. fashion scene: The Bold and the Beautiful's Electra admitted that she may have been...wait for a minute...wrong? (How could that be?) And her cousin and mentor in always-being-rightness, Steffy? Well, she can't deny being wrong...but guess what, ladies? It's too late to turn back now because these trains have left the station.

Electra's Epiphany Came Out of Nowhere

And just like that, Electra Forrester regrets her choices. Who woulda thunk it? The girl who breaks up with Will over a hangnail realizes that she may have gone a little too far. Ya think, Electra? Blaming Will for being sexually assaulted last summer may have been a bit harsh? Dumping him because he refused to throw a homeless girl into the street may have been a little not-nice? Having a conniption because he didn't reveal professional secrets? Not ok? Yep, maybe, Electra.

But she is precious, according to the Forresters, so none of this is precious Electra's fault. Will is nothing but a thug and now Electra will be the face of fresh Forrester use. And she's even a Forrester, not some pesky Logan-Sharpe offspring. (How will Brooke feel, hearing the FC clan tout Electra as the ultimate Forrester "youth"?)

Electra is trying to focus on that, but Electra is also having a sad because she knows she screwed up big time. Not only doesn't she have her boyfriend, but she also doesn't have her very best friend. But at least they have each other...

Now, wherever did we get a breath of fresh air like Darcy Dylan? There is nothing inauthentic about this character and she really helped let us know who Melissa Dylan is.

But um, Katie, what the heck is going on? Since when did Katie become a...snob? It's like Katie walked out of that Forrester mansion after her sister verbally and emotionally abused her and took Brooke Pills because she hasn't been the same ever since. Did that incident cause some sort of weird personality shift?

After watching Electra treat Will like a disposable toy for over a year, where would she ever get the impression that this girl is the one for her son? And what indication has Dylan ever given her that she is a gold digger? Because she likes a magazine that millions of other people like? All people who read a Spencer publication are not off limits for her son? How does that make any sense whatsoever?

And here is why we love Darcy already. She was Midwest nice about it. She made her case to Katie and then politely told her that she understood how things might seem and she hoped she'd reconsider. We also get how Darcy and Dylan can seem like another Luna and Poppy situation, but these characters truly seem authentic. Plus, Dylan is becoming, as Galinda would say, Popular!

Sweet Melissa

We're not sure that B&B meant for Will and Dylan to have more chemistry and just work better than Will and Electra, but they do. Maybe the soap also never meant for fans to turn on Electra, but if you write her as a whiny wench who wants their best friend to eat pizza out of dumpsters, that's what's going to happen.

Dylan (or Melissa or Miss? What do we call her?) truly seems to love Will and Will truly seems to love that someone just loves him. She's not trying to control him or assault him. She just wants to make him happy. That's a lot more than he ever got from Luna or Electra.

B&B needs a true young love story and this one looks like it, but Katie needs to take a chill pill. Her mother was Darcy and she just can't see it because Brooke and Donna are now living in her head.

Carter, You Weren't On a Break

So, Carter seems to be going all Ross Gellar on us and justifying his office couch tryst with Steffy by claiming Daphne had left him for the night. Plus, Steffy had just had a fight with Finn, so that makes what they did ok. Carter, that's not how this works. That's not even remotely how this works.

We get that Carter had never gotten anyone to marry him before after countless tries, so he's a little new to this, but we don't have sex with other people after each marital tiff. Steffy seems to know this. It didn't stop her from doing it (as she has done before), but at least she hasn't been trying to justify it.

She just can't take it back, no matter how much she wants to. And that's the predicament that Steffy finds herself in.

Deacon is also finding himself in a cheating predicament because he thought his adultery would lead to yet another marriage, but the homewrecker just likes wrecking homes. She doesn't actually want one of her own. (Example: She still lives with her daughter.) Is it too late to turn back for Deacon? Not if Sheila has anything to say about it. Deacon just might be the only lucky one of the bunch.

Till next week, Scoopers, when Steffy has to deal with the dinner party from hell. A hell of her own making.
