[soft, dramatic music plays] How, Finn? How did you find me? I still can’t believe it. Finn and Poppy? He was only 18 at the time. And Poppy took full advantage. It happened only…only once. But it doesn’t make it right. I know they’re not related biologically, but still, she’s his aunt. Y-you said there’s something more, something worse? Poppy got pregnant. What? Finn and Poppy have a child? A daughter. First it was the jewelry line relaunch and then the fragrance dropped today. That means it’s our turn next. Your line’s turn, you mean. Hope for the Future’s turn. Mm-hmm. And that would be all thanks to you and your exquisite work. Truly, Zende, your designs are– are breathtaking. Thank you, Hope. I don’t know, it… makes me feel optimistic. I think with the success of the fragrance line drop today, just goes to show what a brilliant idea it was to bring Daphne Rose onboard. I mean, she’s already made her mark, what with the Forrester fragrance. And with Forrester’s new man in charge? Yes. I’d say that she and Carter really complement each other, don’t they? I know you’re hurting, Carter. Yes, the launch was magnifique. But you went against your best friend and the family who embraced you as their own. A hollow victory, no? So you see it? How well Carter and Daphne work together? I really think it’s-it’s, uh, going to be very beneficial for the company in a big way. I mean, Forrester Creations is moving in a new, vibrant, exciting direction, what with Carter and my mother at the helm. I know that you’re excited, Hope, but Carter does not seem as stoked as he should be, given all his early successes. Why do you think that might be? I have no doubt Forrester will be highly prosperous under your leadership. But is it worth your relationship with the Forresters? I am not judging. Far from it. In fact, I see an opportunity. An opportunity? You’ve already brought in your brand, thus proving your point and creating the golden opportunity to return the company to Ridge and Steffy. [moody music plays] TAYLOR: Finn and Poppy have a child, a daughter? -Luna. -[gasps] Luna Nozawa is Finn’s daughter. [stammers softly] Oh– LUNA: You found me. Why? No. First I need to know what you are doing here… at Bill Spencer’s, of all places. Um… Bill and I share a connection. We-we both had troubled childhoods and we get each other in a way that no one else can. Wait. Are you saying that Bill… Bill got you out of prison? I’m under house arrest. And he made that happen? Yeah, I couldn’t believe it myself at first, that he’d do something like that for– For someone who killed two people, abducted Steffy, and now you’re just… -…out of prison? -I know it’s hard to imagine, but no one knows, and Bill wants to keep it that way. Okay, I get that you’re shocked, and I’m shocked too, but Finn, you haven’t answered my question. Why are you here? Thank you. Yes, absolutely. I will tell them. All right, take care, Marlowe. More accolades for Forrester’s new direction? Oh, just more people falling in love with Daphne Rose’s newest scent. Well, it is pretty special, but… then again, so is Daphne. Yes, she is…phenomenal. [chuckles] Really unlike any woman I’ve ever met before. You, um, you never really answered me. About… Carter. His muted reaction to all the achievements he’s made so far. I mean, he should be doing cartwheels. We all should, but the only one who seems excited is you. Look, at the end of the day, I really believe that we all just want… what’s best for Forrester. People just aren’t exactly thrilled with how we went about doing it. But we want Forrester to be a respected international name. [laughs] Hope, it is. Well, yes, as a– purely as a fashion house. But there’s still so much potential, what with the jewelry line, uh, fragrance. And Carter’s vision is taking us there and… I assure you that he is… excited about that. I just really wish you’d be excited too. And not just for Hope for the Future because you’re a part of it but for… the vision in general. I really do believe that Daphne Rose becoming a part of Forrester Creations– it’s going to make a world of difference. You want me to return the company to Ridge, Steffy, and Eric? It doesn’t matter how I feel. What matters is how you feel about your work and yourself. When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Be honest with me. But more importantly, be honest with yourself. [soft music plays] TAYLOR: Luna? She’s Finn’s daughter with Poppy. No. No, no, no. That’s-that’s not possible. STEFFY: Yeah, that’s what I thought too. And then Finn told me the whole story, and I… You don’t have to say another word, sweetheart, if you’re not ready. I don’t think I’m ever gonna be ready. When did this happen? When did Poppy and Finn hook up? Um… -When Finn was starting college. -[exhales] Oh… Li was working at the hospital, she was working late shifts, and Jack was putting in the hours too and they asked Poppy to stay with them and…help out. That’s when Finn and Poppy developed a friendship, and then… one night… Look, I don’t blame Finn for any of this. She took advantage of him. He was 18. It’s not like Poppy even cared. I mean, that’s who she was. She’s crossed the line with men, with drugs. So she and Finn had this… one night… and Poppy got pregnant? Poppy insisted it-it wasn’t his. That’s what Finn always believed. He only just realized he had been lied to. Well, it’s still a lie– all of it. Luna–Finn’s daughter? It’s ridiculous. LUNA: Why were you looking for me? What, to-to put me back in jail? Maybe that’s where I belong. You know, maybe I’m pathetic and maybe there’s no hope for me. God knows that I’ve done horrific things. Two people are dead because of me. I took their lives, Finn, and I tried to take Steffy’s life too. I hate myself for that. Okay, I hate all of the-the heartbreak and the pain that I caused, and I know that you probably won’t believe me and no one ever will, but… I am shocked and ashamed of myself. [heavy music plays] You are quite the fan. -Of Daphne’s? -Mm. Without question. So is Carter. Well, of course he is. She…understands him. Knows what makes him tick. Exactly. It’s like they don’t need a lot of words to communicate -what they’re thinking. -Or feeling. Creatively. Which is why Daphne Rose is an indispensable addition to the company. I believe she is going to alter the course of Forrester Creations. For Carter. And for me. When I first came to Forrester knowing there was a coup in progress, I thought I’d meet a traitor in you… someone so ruthless and cunning I’d have to watch my own back too. But I was wrong. That’s not who you are at all. You’re an extraordinary man, a man of principle. The Forresters would disagree. We’re talking about you now, the man I’ve come to know. You’ve already made your own indelible mark on the company in a very short time. Even Ridge, Steffy, and Eric can’t argue that. But the true mark of an extraordinary leader… man… is to know when to say when. This would be an excellent time to broker a deal. What kind of deal? If they agree to keep Hope for the Future… return the company to them. I could even go to Ridge and Steffy on your behalf. So what do you say, Carter? Tom Starr is Luna’s father. -Finn did a paternity test– -I don’t care! There’s no way that Luna could be his child. I mean, it just doesn’t make any sense, Steffy. Someone must have altered the test. -Who? -Poppy. Li. What? W-why would Li want her own son to be Luna’s father? I don’t know why, but this-this– you and Finn are in such a wonderful place in your lives. Finn has to redo the test. He took a test. Twice. As much as I wish it weren’t true, the science confirms it. Luna is, without a doubt, Finn’s daughter. [heavy chords play] LUNA: I swear I wasn’t myself. Look, I know. I know that sounds crazy, but maybe I was crazy, right? Because no sane person takes the lives of two men like I did. No sane person abducts and cages someone in her family. Finn, I’d do anything to take it all back. I’d-I’d bring back Tom and Hollis and I’d take away the trauma that I caused Steffy. I wanna make things right, but… I know that I can’t, and that kills me. Finn, I’m horrified by who I became–what I became. Please, Finn. You’re my cousin. You know me better than most people. Please. You have to believe me. [somber music plays] [Carter exhales] Mm. Did I overstep? No, not at all. Uh… Daphne, um, we owe a lot to you, uh, your wonderful [laughs] fragrances, you agreeing to join forces with us. We…can’t thank you enough and… …for your advice. I’m not one to hold back. Well, you’re not the first person who told me to return Forrester. But not Hope. You do realize it’s not about Hope. Not about what she wants. It’s about you. You’re a good man. With a good heart. It’s like you can see right through me. It’s like you know everything I’m… I’m thinking. I try to tell myself that… that it was okay, that what Hope and I did was justified, that, um… that I’m a decent man. You’re so much more. Much more. Sweetheart, I love you so much. That you’re having to go through this… -It’s all right, Mom. -No! It’s anything but all right. You’ve already been dealing with so much already– for Finn to lay this on you now? After everything she’s done, Luna is his own flesh and blood? My God! How does he expect you to deal with something like that? How could anyone deal with that? [Steffy sniffling] You don’t have to be strong, Steffy. [whispering] It’s okay. Let it go. It’s okay. LUNA: I know what you’re thinking. Is there any decency in me? I mean, after all the crimes I’ve committed, there can’t be, right? And that’s why you came to blast me, and I don’t blame you, Finn. I deserve it. I deserve every word. But I swear to you, I wasn’t myself. It’s like-like something took over my body and-and drove me to do all of these terrible things. I mean, Tom Starr is my father, and I took his life. Though honestly, he still doesn’t even feel like my dad. But how could he, right? He was never there for me. Well, maybe he would have been there for you, Luna, but he didn’t know. No. He thought he did. He sent all those letters to my mom, remember, saying that he wanted to get to know his little girl, but… my mom didn’t let him. My mom didn’t want him to be a part of my life, and– I’m not trying to justify anything I’ve done, but there’s no excuse for a father, any father, to not fight for his daughter, right? To not be around for her like she doesn’t exist or something? All I had was my mom, and that’s not saying a lot, given how incredibly unstable my childhood was. We moved around so much. There was no foundation. There was no consistency, but… I don’t know, Finn. Maybe if I had someone in my life that was good and stable, they could have shown me the way. You know, I used to always pray and hope that someone would come and take me away, but it never happened. -It never happened! -I didn’t know! I didn’t know! I didn’t-I didn’t know. [emotional music plays] -WOMAN: Here’s a look ahead. -I saw everything. You are not going to make another play for him. Tu comprends? I’m your father, Luna. -STEFFY: She’s broken, Finn! -She’s my daughter. She is not your sweet little girl! Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.
