It’s really you. I can’t believe it. [sniffling] All my life, I’ve been waiting for this moment, and finally it’s happening– being held by my father. STEFFY: Finn’s just as shocked as we are. Of course he’s shocked. He didn’t expect to be someone’s father. Well, Poppy denied it. She swore that her baby wasn’t his. I don’t wanna believe it either, Ridge, but… But this is it, huh? Luna’s Finn’s kid. ZENDE: You’re really leaving? I can’t stay. You said Carter knows you’re going–does he know why? Is this about him? Daphne, you can tell me. Is Carter the reason you wanna leave Los Angeles? [sighs] Hope, I’m not hiding anything from you. I wouldn’t. Good. Because I was right outside the door. Well, I’m sorry you had to see that. I’m sure it was horrible, but if you let me explain– Oh, please, yes. I would love an explanation as to why you and Daphne were kissing. [heavy music plays] I don’t have time to answer questions. -I have to go. -What about the fragrance line? I can handle it from Paris. Daphne, I don’t understand. What is so urgent? Listen, I’m asking as a friend. You’re obviously upset about something. Is it Carter? I put my trust in you, Carter. And you still can. That kiss–it shocked me too, Hope. Look… today has been intense and emotional, and I understand I’ve been a little all over the place, but the last thing I expected was for Daphne to kiss me. Wait. Are you blaming this on her? I know how much you love Finn, how devoted he is to you and the kids. -But you want me to leave him? -I want you to be safe. I-I-I’m worried about you. -Finn’s not gonna hurt us. -No, of course he’s not. But everyone related to him is. Sheila Carter is his birth mother, and now Luna Nozawa’s his daughter? These are dangerous people who are intimately connected to him. I get that you love him. But you have to get away from here. You have to get away from Finn as fast as you can. Luna, look, if I would have known that I had a child, that you were my child, I… I would have stepped up. I would have. But hey, please don’t cry, okay? No, I can’t help it. The way you’re looking at me… -your eyes. -My eyes? I don’t know. I always thought that they were so kind -and compassionate. -[small chuckle] My Aunt Li always looked down on my mom and me, but… but not you. I could see how much you cared. And now I know. I’m looking into the eyes of my father. [soft music plays] ZENDE: I don’t get it, Daphne. -Why are you leaving? Why now? -Can’t be helped. The line just launched! And it’s taking off. It’s a hit. Have you seen the blind buys? It’s all very good, oui, and I’ll do my best to support it, but from Paris. What about Steffy’s plan? I know you feel the same way we do. Hope and Carter stole this company from my family. -Every day they’re in charge… -It’s bad for everyone. I agree. But you won’t do anything to help it. It’s already changing, Zende. Carter’s coming around. He knows what he did was wrong. I’m not blaming Daphne. I’m just saying -I-I didn’t see this coming. -Oh! Okay, so you did nothing at all. I mean, nothing to maybe make her think that– What, like lead her on? No, Hope, I didn’t do that. I don’t know. I mean, you’ve been spending a lot of time working together behind closed doors… Preparing for the drop. Nothing happened before the kiss. Hope, nothing happened. We– We talked. We talked about the takeover, my relationship to the Forresters… Oh. So you were sharing your feelings. She understood. Well, I would hope that she would understand that you are in a committed relationship to me. Hope. Hope, look at me, please. Please. You know I would never hurt you. And I get that I did, and I am sorry. I’ve been trying to do the right thing, be the kind of man you need, and I understand I let you down, and I’m sorry. I believed in you… your vision, not only for the company but for us. And you told me that you would look out for me, that you would have my back, that it wasn’t just empty promises and empty words and that you were different. That you weren’t like those other men in my life. So then you– and can you tell me why I am standing here with that same bitter taste of betrayal in my mouth? [heavy music plays] STEFFY: Finn’s a doctor. He relies on evidence and facts. There is no doubt that Luna is Finn’s daughter. Same Luna that killed two people and tried to kill you– -That’s his kid. -Well, now she’s paying the price, Dad. Finn shouldn’t have to. -He saved me from Luna. -Yeah, from Luna. From Sheila–how many times were you put in jeopardy? -Thank God you survived. -Because of him. Yeah, and we are grateful to him for that. But he’s also the reason that your life was in danger, and because of his connection to Luna, you could be put there again. Steffy, your mom is right. Just grab a few things. We’ll get the kids, and you stay with us at the estate. Leave my husband? No! I– -I can’t do that. -Luna is a threat. -She’s in jail, Mom. -She’s Finn’s child. Wherever she is, she will always have a place in his heart. No. No, Finn and I promised nothing would come between us. I can’t. Can we just take a minute to reset? Come with us, and we’ll keep you safe. This is surreal. [exhales] Ha. Yeah, for a lot of reasons. I’ve been so worried if– what it’d be like to… to see you again. I don’t–I don’t know what I’d say to you. Look, we don’t need to say… anything. This is…very new, and there is a lot to process. I’ve always loved you, you know? And now, to know that you’re my father, I mean, this is more than I could have ever wished for. -Look, Luna… -But… you can’t feel the same way about me after what I did. Attacking Steffy, locking her up…your wife? My stepmother? But you’re here now, and you found me. Will you ever be able to love and embrace me as your daughter? [dramatic chords] Are you saying the plan worked? Carter’s a man of conscience, Zende. -He’s having second thoughts. -Oui. For a while. Do you think that he could stop the takeover on his own? C’est possible. And you think this because you’ve… gotten to know him better? He’s shown me something these last few weeks. Beneath his ambition… there’s integrity, goodness. Look, I don’t wanna overstep, but… you’re jumping ship, going back to Paris. You won’t say why. I may be way off-base here, but the way you’re talking about Carter, Daphne, do you have feelings for him? HOPE: You said I was the only one for you. But then I see Daphne’s lips on yours. Hope, you are the only one for me. Nothing has changed. You have a right to be disappointed. I’m disappointed in myself, in the whole situation. Oh, right, the situation that just took you -completely by surprise? -Yes! Okay, then imagine how shocked I am. I was so excited to celebrate today’s achievements with you, and… Hell, I-I told an entire room full of people how proud I was of you, of your leadership, of your commitment, of what we were building here together. That is what today was supposed to be about, only now, it’s not. Because now I don’t know what to believe. [somber music plays] I love you both so much, and thank you for the concern and support, but what I have with Finn is… is my whole world. I’m not gonna walk away from it or let anything pull us apart. We’ll be fine. Luna can’t hurt us. She’s locked up for the rest of her life. What do you see when you look at me? Do you see your… flesh and blood, your daughter? Or… do you see the woman who lost control? That…hurt so many people, including your wife? I’m sorry, Finn. I’m so, so, so sorry. I-I can’t even imagine everything that you’re going through right now. There must be so many conflicting emotions. I–sorry. I still can’t believe that this is happening. All I know is that my father is here now. After a lifetime of wondering, I finally have a dad and… I couldn’t have picked a more loving, caring dad than you, Finn. I need to go home and talk to Steffy. Finn? Thank you for telling me the truth. You could have lied like my mom, but… you didn’t, and I love you for that… Dad. [somber music plays] DAPHNE: When I first came to Forrester, knowing there was a coup in progress, I thought I’d meet a traitor in you–but I was wrong. You’re a good man with a good heart. [door slams shut] -Leaving? -Oui. Bad timing. I must get back to Paris. I’m leaving today. And why is that, Daphne? Is it because you’re falling for Carter? [dramatic music plays] I really thought we were getting through to her. -Well, we’ll try it again. -Steffy and the kids need to be here with us. It’s safer. Yep. At least until they sort this out. There’s nothing to sort out. That’s why I’m so worried. This situation can’t be changed. Luna’s paternity is an undeniable fact. Yeah. Well, he needs to, I don’t know, set up some boundaries. Luna’s his daughter, Ridge. You’ve seen him with Kelly and Hayes, how devoted he is. But it’s not the same thing. How? Kelly and Hayes, they’re kids. And Luna, she’s a… she’s an adult. She’s a very dangerous and troubled adult who tried to end our daughter’s life. -I’m aware of that. -She’s Sheila Carter’s -granddaughter! -I–okay. So we’re just gonna keep trying. We won’t give up on her. [sighs] I mean, she loves the man. He’s been so good to her and the kids. I can’t deny any of that, and telling her to leave is… extreme. Well, here’s the good news. We’re not talking about Sheila. Luna is in prison. She can’t get to the kids, can’t get to Steffy. Bring it in. [soft music plays] [music warps slightly] My father. Finn is my father. STEFFY: I’m right. You did it. You killed Tom and Hollis. [moans] What are you doing to me? You let me out of here! Let me out! [grunting] [intense music plays] Uh, hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah, no, I, uh, my parents were just here. You told them about Luna? My mom told me to take the kids and leave. Leave? You. She’s afraid for me, Finn, especially Kelly and Hayes. First Sheila, and now…Luna. Look, I understand why they’d be so concerned. But I told them no. I told them I love you and I’m not going anywhere. We’re gonna get through this. We’re gonna face this together. Look, Luna can’t hurt us anymore. -FINN: Uh, yeah– -She’s locked up. She’s in prison and we never have to think or talk about her ever again. I love you. I love you so much. The most…important thing in the world to me are you and the kids. Your safety and your well-being, it’ll-it’ll always come first. I know that. No. But you don’t know everything. There’s something else that you need to know about Luna. [dramatic music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.
