Steffy:  Liam! -Pupils are dilated. What’s wrong? What’s happening? We need to stop the bleeding in his brain. -Is he gonna be okay? -We’re doing everything that we can. Tell them to prep the O.R.! I need that CT scan, STAT! Oh, my God, Liam, how did this happen? Wake up! Liam, wake up! [somber music plays]

Brooke: This whole ordeal has been devastating. Yeah, it was devastating for all of us, -not just your daughter. -Well, clearly, Hope and Carter both participated. What they did was unacceptable, but it’s Carter’s name that was signed to the LLC papers, and those were his ideas– But the difference is he took responsibility. Hope’s just pissed it didn’t work. Okay, okay, but the point is it’s not really fair, right? Carter’s forgiven. And my daughter isn’t. She’s banished. So don’t you think my daughter deserves a second chance? -Thanks. -Yeah. Thank you. And thank you, Dad. Means a lot knowing that I can count on you. You’re my daughter. It’s my job to defend you. And I always will. You know, I’m glad I came here. I was feeling pretty isolated and alone. Well, you’re not alone. And, you know, as far as Steffy and Ridge– just forget them, right? I mean, you know, it’s no big surprise they screwed you over. I mean, it’s what they do. Carter…[sighs] I– I understand that’s gotta sting. Really thought you loved him. I still do. My daughter should be here. Don’t you think so, Ridge? -I’ll come back. -No, it’s okay. We’re discussing Hope. I made it clear that they went too far in firing Hope. We didn’t go too far. She betrayed us, and I don’t want someone like that around, someone I don’t trust. Why are you holding Hope to a higher standard? She spent half her life here. She deserves to be here. And her line should be reinstated. What do you think, Carter? Isn’t that what you want for Hope? Look, I’m sorry you’re going through this, kiddo. I know that Carter meant a lot to you. I also know that you’ve always been looking for a true partner in life. Sure as hell wasn’t Thomas, and… I mean, Liam tried his best, but… I know you thought it was gonna be Carter. As far as I’m concerned, he betrayed me. I walked in on him kissing Daphne Rose. Dads’ll do anything for their kiddos. Mommies too. Mommy got me a new dress for the Daddy-daughter dance coming up. Yeah. You guys are gonna have a blast. Can’t wait. Daddy’s super excited too. I’m lucky to have him. And you, Finn, too. I’m the lucky one, Kelly. I love being your stepdad. But Liam’s your father. You and Beth– you’re his pride and joy. He’ll always be there for you. DR. BUCKINGHAM: 75 grams of mannitol–STAT! Is he gonna be okay? Is he gonna make it? We’re trying to get him stabilized. -Oh, my God. -O.R.’s on standby. -We’re losing him! -You have to do something. -Please! -We need to open up his skull to release the pressure. I got a pulse! Let’s prep for transport. We gotta get to the O.R. now. Liam, keep fighting! Keep fighting! Don’t give up. Oh, my God. [tense, percussive music plays] It’s only right that Hope be afforded the same opportunity that you’ve been given, Carter. Wouldn’t you think so? Look, I don’t wanna cause any more waves. You and I, we’ve begun to heal our friendship, find peace after this difficult chapter, and I don’t wanna do anything to jeopardize that. But you gave me your word. You and Eric promised me that Hope wouldn’t be punished, let alone ejected from the company. So you don’t think what we did was justified. -That’s not what I’m implying. -Okay, good. ‘Cause you know what you did was wrong. -Obviously, Ridge. -All right. Hope doesn’t. She doesn’t think she did anything wrong, and you see how that’s a problem. [somber music plays]

Deacon: I’m just gonna say it, all right? Carter sold you out. He left you in the dust. You lost your line. You lost your job. And then what does he do? He pretends like his hands are tied. I just really believed that he was going to walk out with me in solidarity, -but he didn’t. -Look, I get it. You miss him, right? But from where I’m sitting, you dodged a bullet. Carter is not your guy. Your guy–he’s gonna run in a burning building for you. And I promise, you’re going to find him. But until you do, you got me. And nothing would make me happier than you knowing that you can lean on me. Thank you. It’s nice knowing I have one parent in my corner. All right. You know, you and your mom– you’re gonna work it out. I don’t know. It’s never been this bad before. I mean, having to be on the property and pretend like everything is normal when it is not… just–I can’t fake that. I get it. I do. But you need to know deep inside better days are coming, Hope. I know they are. Trust that. You wanna read another book while we’re waiting? No. That’s okay. I wonder why Mom and Dad aren’t here yet. I don’t know. But, hey, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. [somber music plays] How’s he doing? Well, the procedure seems to have released some of the intracranial pressure. If we hadn’t removed the buildup of blood in the hematoma when we did… he might not have survived. Is he gonna be okay? Well, he’s not out of the woods yet. His blood pressure has decreased, and his pulse has stabilized. Oh, my God, thank God. Thank God. Liam. Liam, I’m here. You’re not alone. You’re gonna be okay. DR. BUCKINGHAM: He’s still extremely critical. We need to look after him very closely. Yeah, I-I-I understand. I’m just glad that he’s here. [heavy music plays] Look, I hate this. I hate what’s happened between me and Hope. She feels betrayed. And now it’s over for the two of you. Yeah. Yeah, she ended things. She doesn’t want to see or speak to me. I’m sorry. But you know what? Maybe it’s for the best. She’s a big girl. She’s gonna land on her feet. She’ll get another job, maybe with the competition, I don’t know, but I do know this– it’s not gonna happen here. Not after what she did. I promised Hope I’d stand up for her, and I didn’t. Yeah, you did. You’re doing it now. But I-I gotta ask you something. Please don’t defend her around here. Not after what happened. All right, go take these to Chef, all right? Thanks. -You… -Yes. …are gonna come back from this bigger and badder than ever. Look, trust me–I know a thing or two about comebacks. It’s in our DNA. There’s nothing that you can’t accomplish. I hope you’re right. Have you not learned by now that I’m always right? -[laughs] -All right. Always might be a big word, but you and Beth– you’re always welcome here. Thank you, Dad. And I might take you up on that offer if things get a little crazy over at Mom’s. But in the meantime, I’m really just trying to focus on healing myself, so… Come here. And as far as Ridge, Steffy, and Carter go… …they’re not gonna get away with this. He’s somewhat stable at the moment. But there’s no guarantees? His condition can change at any moment? I’ll take a look at the CT scan again, get another consult. Best case…[sighs] the bleeding will resolve itself. And if it doesn’t? He may need a more complex surgery. It’s just a waiting game at this point. You said there could be long-term effects? Well, we’ll know as time goes on if there’s any brain damage. Oh…brain damage! DR. BUCKINGHAM: Well, when the brain swells, it enters blood vessels and cerebral tissue. Obviously, we are hoping for the best here, and we will continue to look out for an additional seizures or any changes in his vitals. But what we need right now is for Liam to wake up. Because the longer he stays unconscious… the less chance he has of making a full recovery. [whispering] Liam. Liam, you heard Dr. Buckingham. You need to open your eyes now, okay? You need to wake up. Liam, please wake up. [dramatic music swells] Thank you, Hunter. Thanks. HOPE: You’re a good man, Carter. And I am so thankful that I have finally found someone like you. CARTER: I’ve got you. HOPE: And I do feel safe in your arms. CARTER: That’s because you are. I won’t let you fall. You know, I actually think I believe you. Gosh. You really are the man of my dreams. I love you. And I love you too. [sensuous jazz plays] [door opens] Carter, Carter. You messed with my daughter. That’s a bad move. Very bad. [tense music plays] Hey. No, uh, thank you so much. Hey, Kelly, Rachel and her Mom will be here soon to pick you up. Liam. Liam. Do you know how he was injured? No. No, I found him on the ground at his dad’s house. That’s interesting. There’s more than one point of impact. Uh, I don’t know if he fell or what. Well, he’s very lucky you got there when you did. A few minutes later, he wouldn’t have made it. Liam Spencer owes you his life. Liam. [sniffling] You heard Dr. Buckingham. You need to wake up now. You need to open your eyes. So many people are counting on you, Liam. So many people need you. Your dad, your brothers. Your daughters. Kelly and Beth. Oh, they love their daddy so much. You’re the one who makes them laugh the hardest. You make them feel safe… and protected. I need you, too. And even though we are not together anymore, we are always… always gonna be bonded for life. Our daughter, our memories– it’s always gonna connect us, okay? [soft, stirring music plays] Liam, come on. Come on! Please wake up. I know you can hear me. Please, Liam, just open your eyes. That’s all you have to do is just open– open those eyes, please. Oh, God. [gasps] Liam. Liam? Liam, can you hear me? Oh, my God! Oh, my–oh, my God. I think he’s waking up. I think he’s back. I think he’s back! Liam. Liam, can you hear me? It’s Dr. Buckingham. You’re in a hospital. We’re taking very good care of you. -[labored breathing] –

Steffy:  Liam? Liam! Liam, I’m here. I’m here. It’s me. It’s me. Can you see me? Can you hear my voice? [laughing] Oh, my God! Liam! Liam! [sniffling] Oh, my God. Oh, my God. -Oh, my God. -[emotional music plays]

[ominous music plays]

Steffy:  Liam’s always had a volatile relationship with Bill, even before he started freeing criminals from prison. -Guy’s a real piece of work. -Yeah, he is. It’s gotta be tough for Liam. His mom’s gone. Now Bill, that’s the only man he has left. And the way Bill treats him sometimes–it’s awful. You still care about him, don’t you? Yeah, of course I care about him. He’s Kelly’s father, and he’s always gonna be and important person in my life. Hey, Kell… you rinse off and hang up your suit, sweetheart. Your dad’s gonna be here in about an hour. Write an email to Katie and tell her that her ideas for the new campaign look great. Discuss options with Ridge and set the time in the shared calendars. Also…tell her thank you for holding off on a Hope for the Future release. HOPE: You only took the CEO position so you could get the company back for Ridge? You wereneveron my side? They didn’t deserve to lose their life’s work, their legacy, Hope. Did I deserve to have my line cut because of a petty vendetta? That is not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is you choosing them over me! No, I didn’t do that. I would never do that. God, Mom, why are you never there when I actually need your support? I mean, for once, I just– I just… wanted you to pickme. You know that I’ve been there. I’ve been supporting you, Hope. My God, you’re my daughter! I love you! Just not as much as you love Ridge. That’s it! Do me a favor. Bring us a couple of cappuccinos. Sweetheart, I will do anything for you, anything you need. So if you can’t stay at your mom’s right now, you stay here. You really mean that? Of course I mean it. I got your back. Always. I don’t even know why Liam has a relationship with Bill, father or not. Honestly, the last time I saw him he just seemed so…dejected. Usually, he’s so excited to work with his father, a way to connect with him. But now he’s stuck in this toxic place with his father who let a psychopath out of prison, the psychopath who tried to kill me. Like, I…I don’t know why Bill is doing this. He’s putting Liam’s family in danger. -Where you going? -I’m gonna go talk to Bill. Liam stood up for me so many times. I need to stand up for him. [somber music plays] Oh…oh… Oh– –

Deacon: All right. -HOPE: Thank you.

Deacon: All right, thank you, Henry. See, look, I know that you’ve got problems with Sheila. I-I think, uh, “problems” is maybe not the right word. Okay, well, you know, I know Sheila and I are– -Dangerous? -Okay. I was gonna say unconventional, but you know, um, well, forget about that, all right? If you need to stay somewhere other than your mother’s, I’ll take care of everything, all right? I’ll get you and Beth all set up, which I would love because it gives me more time with my granddaughter, so I got this. Thank you, Dad. Yeah, well, they’re not just words. Ridge, Steffy, Carter, what they did… that wasn’t fair. And it sure as hell wasn’t right. And I don’t want you worrying about it, okay? I’m gonna take care of everything. Come on, Steff, text me back. -I’m starving. -Starving? Well, it’s a good thing I made two of these. -Yay! -Just a snack, though, okay? Your mom and dad might wanna take you to dinner later. Can’twaitto see my dad. [car door closes] [running footsteps]

Steffy:  Oh, my God! Oh! Liam! Oh! Oh, my God! Oh! Oh, my God! They screwed up a seafood order yet again. You order calamari–sometimes you get Kalamata olives. [chuckles] Now, I should be sorry. I’m sitting here taking up all your time when you obviously need to be working. No. Hey, listen, you come first. From what you were telling me about Carter, it’s too bad that he couldn’t say the same. But you know, I gotta tell you. I mean, honestly, I’m not surprised that he stayed on at Forrester. That guy has been trying to get their approval for years. [sighs] He… has always really wanted to be part of the family. I just… feel like they took advantage of that sentiment, really…manipulated him. I mean, the way Ridge is always calling him brother when Carter doesn’t even realize that it’s never going to really happen. -Huh. -I don’t know. I just… I feel like I can’t trust anybody anymore, like not even myself, my own judgement, because clearly, I’m so wrong about people. I-I thought Carter loved me. I believed him when he said that he would champion me, and don’t even get me started on Mom. Can you explain to me why the hell she’s still there after the way they treated you? Give you one guess. Ah. Mm. Ridge. You know…[small laugh] apparently, she didn’t even take the CEO position in order to help us out. She just did it in order to give the company back to Ridge. She-she chose him. She chose all of the Forresters over her own daughter. Honey, I don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry. She texted me. “I love you, honey. Please come home.” I don’t even know how to respond to that. I don’t… I don’t think she understands that… home doesn’t feel like it used to anymore. You look busy. -[door closes] -Hey. Just, uh… cleaning up the office. Of course. I just wanna tell you that I’m very thankful to be here working at Forrester still. And so is Carter. Well, he finally did the right thing. Well, he loves you. And so do I. You do know there’ll always be a place for you here. Always was, Logan. I’m glad that you’re still calling me Logan. I’m not sure if I should broach this subject, but I feel like I have to. Especially since Steffy’s not here. What is it? It’s about my daughter. Do you think that maybe you could welcome her back to Forrester? [soft music plays] KELLY: Will Mommy be home soon? I texted her. I’m sure she’s on her way. We’re gonna go to the climbing gym with Daddy. He’s gonna show me how to belay. -Really? That’s awesome. -Can’t wait. Getting to spend time with Mommy and Daddy’s my favorite. I know. They love you so much. Nothing would ever change that. Oh, my God! Oh, my God, Liam! Liam, wake up. [gasping] Oh! [whimpering] WOMAN:911. What’s your emergency? Uh, my-my ex-husband, he’s–he’s on the ground. -There’s a lot of blood. -What’s your location? Uh, 3197 Holden Drive. Uh, Bel Air. What’s the nature of the emergency? I think he-he hit his head. -Is he responsive? -Uh, no, no. He’s unconscious. But he’s-he’s breathing. Please, oh, God, please hurry! Help is on the way. Don’t move him -until the paramedics arrive. -Oh, God! Liam! Oh! Oh, my God! Look, I know what Hope did was out of line… “Out of line”? She tried to steal this company. This is my life’s work. You know that. Right. Um, but it doesn’t seem fair -that she has to– -If she wanted fairness, she shouldn’t have done what she did. Easy. Okay. But she is devastated. She feels like everybody’s trying to betray her, including me… when all I was trying to do is what was right for the company, right for you. [sighs] Look, Ridge, just… can you have some compassion for my daughter? Any mercy at all? Honey, I just… I hate to see you hurting so badly. Well, it does make me feel better knowing I have you to turn to. Truly, Dad. Thank you. I honestly don’t know… where to turn, what to do. I-I feel like I have lost everything. Well, you’re not gonna lose me. Why don’t you just give yourself a break? I mean, you’ve been through so much, and I’m not talking about what happened at Forrester. I’m not talking about you and Carter. Thomas… ending your marriage with Liam. I mean, just… show yourself some grace. You really think I deserve it? More than anyone I know. It’s funny you bring up Liam. I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately… and how it… does feel like my life has gone a bit off the rails ever since I ended our marriage. But it’s funny, it-it… has a way of putting things into perspective, and… We really did share some beautiful times together, and he truly is an amazing father to Beth and Kelly. We had to balance on logs and jump on rocks so we wouldn’t get our shoes wet in the stream. That sounds awesome. Our Daddy and Kelly hikes are super fun. Yeah. You are lucky to have a dad like Liam. Thought Mom and Dad would be here by now. Yeah, me too. I’m not sure what’s keeping them. -[siren wails] -Blue team to ICU, please. -What’s his status? -Trauma to the head. Unresponsive at the scene. Possible brain bleed. Order a CT scan, full labs, and page Dr. Gaffney in neuro. -Do you know his blood type? -Uh, uh, A positive. DR. BUCKINGHAM: Prep for a transfusion if necessary. Dr. Buckingham, I need to be in there with him. -He’s in good hands. -But they said brain bleed! I need to know what happened. I found him in the ground. He was unconscious. You need to do something– please! Please! I can’t lose him!

Ridge: I understand you love your daughter. I love my daughter too. What Steffy’s doing to Hope isn’t right. She’s making this personal. Isn’t that what got us into -this mess in the first place? -This is personal. How is it not personal? It’s always been personal. Hope took her company away from her–it’s her birthright. Well, she’s okay with Carter. Well, ho-how is that the same thing? It’s not– You made a deal with Carter. Why don’t you make that same -deal with my daughter? -Because Hope doesn’t think -she did anything wrong. -Okay. Look, I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to protect your daughter. You’re trying to advocate for her–I love that about you. You’re a great mother. But it’s too late. What’s done is done. -We can’t change what happened. -I know, I know! I wish none of this happened. I don’t like what it did, especially… between the two of us. I miss you. So much. Don’t you miss me? [soft music plays] No matter what happens in my life, it seems the one constant has always been Liam and his love for Beth and Kelly. He truly is an amazing man. Wanna know a secret? [chuckles] Sure. The Daddy-daughter dance is coming up. I know! Liam will be thrilled. Nothing would keep him from being at that dance with you. -I can’t wait. -[chuckles] -DR. BUCKINGHAM: Vitals. -Stable but so far, unresponsive. Liam, do you know where you are? What happened to you? Did somebody do this to you? Why isn’t he responding? Why isn’t he waking up? I believe he suffered an intracranial hemorrhage. -What’s that? -It’s when the blood pools between the brain and the skull, preventing oxygen from reaching the brain. It only takes three to four minutes for brain cells to die without enough oxygen. Did we get that tox screen back? No drugs or alcohol in his system, Doctor. But you can help him. He’s gonna be okay. This is a life-threatening injury. We’re gonna do absolutely everything that we can. I need that CT scan STAT. Call radiology. Liam, I’m right here. I’ll fight with you. I’m right here, okay? -[flatline tone] -[alarm beeping] He’s flatlining. I need you to move away. [alarm continues] Liam! Liam! -WOMAN: Here’s a look ahead. -Will is wasting his time with that prissy Electra Forrester. Oh, Ridge, is that you? Divine. -Oh! -I thought she’d understand. How many times does my daughter have to have her heart broken? Ah! Ahh!

You’re quitting Spencer. [laughing] Yeah, right. You can laugh, but I mean it. I’m done. You’re done? Done with a cushy job that I handed you on a silver platter? You didn’t hand it to me on a silver platter. I worked my ass off for you and the company. Company you apparently despise. -When did I say that? -I’ll tell you what I’m saying. You can’t make it without me. Okay. -Watch me. -Watch you what? Go be a computer geek again? Yeah, Dad, maybe I’m just gonna be a computer geek again. You’re not gonna go be anything without your daddy’s help. Why are you talking like I didn’t have skills already -before I met you? -The majority of skills that you have are the ones that Daddy taught you. You know what? I have experience, too, that I can apply in the real world.

Bill: I don’t think so. Well… -Oh, my God. …unless, of course, you have a genie in a bottle somewhere -that’ll grant you a wish. -This is what I’m talking about! This is why! This is why I’m walking away–this! Bye. Thank you, Mattie. I’ll talk to Zende, let him know what we’re thinking. -No problem. -Thanks so much. Thank you. All right, good. Anything else? No, it’s, uh, it’s pretty much it. It’s amazing. What’s amazing? Forrester’s co-CEOs. We’re back at it -Like we haven’t missed a beat. -Yeah, feels good. Yeah! You know what else feels good? Not having to deal with Hope. Brooke and Carter may still be around, but Miss Hope for the Future and all her drama are gone. Forever. So Hope just stormed out? I…keep trying to reach her. What happened? Well, she’s still upset with me. She feels like she’s a scapegoat and she’s being sold out by Carter and…her own mother.

Deacon: I hate what you’re going through because this is so damn unfair. But I want you to know something–you’re not alone. I got you, baby girl. Always. [soft music plays] Well, I know Hope’s been lashing out lately. I mean, she even tried to slap you. Today just proved that she’s struggling with the fact that Carter and I are still working at Forrester Creations. She feels…betrayed, like nobody understands her. -Thank you. -For what? For being in my corner. Hey, I’m always gonna be in your corner. You’re my daughter, no matter what. Used to think that Mom felt that way, but that was before… They really kept Brooke and Carter on and got rid of you. I mean, this whole takeover thing was Carter’s fault. He initiated it! That guy oughta be on the curb, not behind the COO desk. [scoffs] That’s all Steffy. I mean, she’s probably relishing in the fact that I’m the only one that’s suffering the consequences of this. Actually, that might be why she kept Carter on, just to rub it in my face. Honey, I feel–I feel terrible about this. I mean it– This was not fair the way that Ridge and Steffy treated you. [phone chimes] -That’s Baker. Still nothing. -[sighs] Getting the lunatic Luna behind bars back where she belongs? Yeah. Well, Baker’s gonna keep working on it, but we gotta stay vigilant because you know she’s gonna wanna see Finn. Yeah. Over my dead body. Don’t even joke about that. She’s already tried that. I’m just–I’m so furious with Bill. How can he allow that psychopath out of prison? You–[laughs] you talk to me this way, you treat me this way, and yet, you bend over backwards to-to protect and cover for a murderer like Luna? Dad, she poisoned two people, and you get her pardoned? Do you wanna know why I can’t relate to you? It’s because you’re certifiable! Certifiable? You must have lostyourmind. Do you know who you’re talking to? Maybe I don’t know who I’m talking to, because on any given day, I don’t know which version of you I’m gonna get. Today, apparently, it’s the one who cares more about protecting a murderer than your own granddaughter’s mom. Oh, for God–look– Steffy is not in any danger, and neither is Kelly. This is just you being you, overreacting, blowing everything out of proportion, just like threatening to ditch Spencer. Well, you’re not gonna walk away from the greatest thing that ever happened to you, are you, Liam? I mean, you’re notthatstupid! [heavy music plays] Hope can’t be here? I mean, this is her home too. Well, she’s still extremely upset. Because you’re at Forrester and she’s not. [sighs] There’s more to it, and it’s all coming to a head. This is not just gonna go away on its own– all the hurt and the pain. I mean, look at what she’s doing– she’s storming out of her own home, she’s pushing you away, she’s saying all these things that I know she’s gonna end up regretting. The two of you have always been so close. That’s what worries me. But until she can accept that she brought this on herself, she’s gonna continue to feel abandoned and betrayed by everybody in her life. Nobody treats my daughter like that. We go to Forrester right now and we– Dad, no. I appreciate you trying to protect me, but that is– What kind of father would I be if I didn’t? Look, I know that I wasn’t around for a lotta years. And-and even when I was, I couldn’t be the kind of father that you needed or you deserved. But I’m here now. And nobody–nobody is gonna cause you the kind of grief that the Forresters have. I don’t care about the coup. I don’t care about whose fault it is, because I know you have given everything to this company. You’ve given your talent and your drive and-and your passion. Hope, I swear, when I see an injustice like this against my daughter, I wanna go down there and I wanna get in Carter’s face and I wanna pound Ridge into the ground. I will never understand Bill, allowing a twice-convicted murderer to stay in his home under house arrest. -[softly] Yeah. -Bonding over their what– supposed traumatic childhood? My gosh. Liam’s really upset about it. You talked to Liam about this? Yeah. He’s confused and disillusioned -like the rest of us are. -Yeah, I get that. Must have been a hell of a shock, seeing what his dad is up to. He’s trying to wrap his head around it. Luna being pardoned. Bill basically let this psychopath back into society. Not knowing if she’d kill again. Luna has Sheila’s DNA. Odds are she is gonna kill again. Dad, she needs to be stopped legally, or– Anyway, Liam isn’t happy about it. He really thinks that Bill lost his mind. [scoffs] You and I must have very different definitions -for the word stupid. -Well, when you do stupid things, Liam… I mean, you’re a grown man. How ’bout you start acting like one? Come on–you mean act likeyou. How come I don’t act likeyou? Selfish and volatile… -Here we go again. -…and shady as all hell. I don’t wanna be that, you understand? That’s not me. You don’t even know whoyouare, Liam! You have no idea. You were raised just being coddled by your mommy! So we’re-we’re attacking my dead mother now, is that it? Oh, will you relax. I’m not attacking Kelly. I am simply saying that if I had known that you existed, if I was aware that I had a son… But she kept that information from meandfrom you until she was on her deathbed. [Liam joins in] At which point, it was too late… …for you tomoldme in your image. Yeah, I know. I got it. I’ve heard it before. Still didn’t stop me from looking for you. Didn’t stop me from finding you. Didn’t stop me from wanting to understand you. It didn’t stop me from trying to figure out what this-this Spencer name you bequeathed to me even stands for. What the hell does it stand for, Dad? You always told me, “Say what you mean and mean what you say.” But that’s not you. Not lately. You said family comes first. That’s not you either. Here’s another one of your gems: “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Now, I don’t know what Luna has done or said to persuade you to abandon every principle that you ever stood for, but that’s because you won’t tell me! You won’t talk to me! And the more that you dismiss me, the more that you push me away, the more that you gaslight me, the easier it is for me to forget all the reasons keeping me here. This is the part where you say, “Don’t go, Liam.” This is the part where you say, “I love you. This isn’t worth losing you over.” Why can’t you say that? [heavy music plays] As a parent, it’s hard when our children are hurting. I mean, you just wanna make everything okay, and it doesn’t matter if they’re adults or if they have lives of their own. I’m telling you, Hope is gonna come around. She loves you, and she’s gonna realize that no one can give her the kind of love and support that you can. You’re overwhelmed right now. You got so much coming at you. But you have to know you are going to get through this because you’re strong and you’re resilient. Well, I do not feel that way. I just feel… angry at Carter, at Mom. I don’t know who I can trust anymore. You trust me, because I’ll catch you. Well, I certainly don’t feel like going back to Mom’s right now. I mean, you don’t have to. You can stay here. I really feel for Liam. He just seems so… lost these days. He told you that? Well, we talk. Mostly when he comes over to pick up Kelly or he drops her off. But he never lets on to her how he really feels. He’s a devoted dad, and she adores him so much. If only he’d had a dad that felt that way. Liam fought so hard for Bill’s acceptance. And now he learns that his own father helps Luna out of prison? Of course, that’s gonna affect their relationship. Are you done going off on me? Going off–oh, my God. Oh, my God. You don’t get it. You just– -I don’t get what? -You don’t get that I am standing in front of you threatening to quit Spencer, threatening to quityou! Why can’t you say, “Hey, Liam, you’re my son. I love you. Stick with it. Let’s figure this out together.” Why can’t you do that? Because you’re damn fearless when it comes to everything else in life, but this, right here? No, you gotta keep that– you gotta keep that good and locked up, don’t you? Because the thought of somebody understanding you– actually understanding you– that petrifies you. I don’t even know why. I mean, somewhere between a mother who never loved you and a father who never knew you until it was way too late, little William Spencer Jr. forged this–this coat of armor that we all call Dollar Bill, a persona that is so scary and intimidating that even your closest loved ones don’t feel safe asking you to look behind the curtain. Who are you? How come I don’t know more about your childhood than what would fit on a vague book blurb? Was it so traumatic that you feel more kinship to somebody like Luna than me? Luna isn’t the heir to an empire. Yeah, well, neither was I until you made me one. Yeah, you never ran away from it, though, did you? “Hey, Dad, can I use the jet? Can I use the yacht?” Right? You certainly enjoyed all the trappings of wealth. I’m not enjoying…this, Dad. Well, you probably won’t enjoy losing your trust fund either. Oh, my God, the trust fund, the trust fund, the trust fund. I don’t care. Liquidate it! Do whatever you want. You have–you have three sons, and two of them are gone. Wyatt’s gone. Will is living with his mother. Who could blame him? I am the only one who stuck around and put up with you and worked hard to earn your respect, and for what? For what? A private tennis court? I don’t care about the “trappings” of wealth, Dad. I wanted to love you. I wanted–I wanted to know you. And you won’t let me. So I can’t, so I don’t. Or maybe–maybe I got that backwards. Maybe the problem is that I know you too well. [dramatic music plays] I’ve never seen Hope like this, lost and floundering and feeling like everybody’s turned against her– even me. It makes me wonder what she’ll do and where she’ll turn. -Stay here. -Well, not, I mean, here, here. I mean, I was thinking the room next to my apartment. I know it’s not your mother’s estate, but I love you, you’re my daughter, and I wanna support you. I know what you’re thinking. Sheila, right? It might be a little difficult living here -while you are married to her. -Okay, look. I’m well aware about how you feel about Sheila, okay, but we can make this work. You’ll see. Come on. Trust your old man. You still care about Liam, don’t you? Yeah, of course. We remained good friends. We have history and…and more. -And more? -Well– as Kelly’s parents. We never let our issues get in the way of putting Kelly first. She’s our top priority. Honestly, I…I wouldn’t have it any other way. He really is a fantastic man and father. I’ll never stop caring about him.

Bill: I have listened to you and your revisionist history long enough. Now, you might not have liked every decision I ever made on your behalf, but are you actually gonna stand there and tell me that almost– almost without fail I have not put you and your brothers first in my life? Haven’t you heard? Dollar Bill always comes first. [laughing] Unbelievable. I am so sick and tired of your poor, woe-is-me attitude, always feeling sorry for yourself. You had two of the most remarkable women in the world in Steffy and Hope, and what did you do? You screwed it up, time and time and time again. You.Youdid that, Mr. Waffle Man. Now, as for me… have I ever said I was perfect? No. Never. Not by a long shot. But I have always loved you and cared for you, provided for you, protected you. I mean, what more do you want from me, Liam? You’re not two years old. You want me to tuck you in bed at night? That’s not–that’s not what I meant to say– I mean, has it ever even occurred to you that some of my frustration with you is warranted? I mean, you show up in LA all those years ago, you’re looking for your long-lost father, and when you finally found me, what did I do? I’m asking you, Liam– what did I do? Let me answer it for you. I took you in… like a homeless puppy. I made you a player in the family business that also happens to be one of the most powerful companies on the planet. Does that make me Father of the Year? No. Never claimed to be. But you… you see yourself as Mr. Perfect. Mr. Self-righteous. And yet, you leave a path of destruction in your wake, which you have done to Steffy and Hope and your children as collateral damage. And yet you wanna stand there and whine to me about how I treat you. Well, you know what, Mr. Big Time? You wanna leave the company– leave! And don’t come crawling back. Do you understand me? Now, I have a meeting to get to. And when I return, don’t be here! [whispers] You– [groans] [offkey music escalates] [dramatic music swells]

Steffy:  You understand that, right? Luna can never be part of our lives. Never. Look, I-I’m sure you feel some kind of obligation to her, finding out that she’s your daughter, but… you can’t help her, Finn. You can’t change her. There’s an evil inside of her, and we can’t invite her in. Luna needs to be as far away from us as possible. She can’t be in our orbit. You think it’s possible that I can actually have a relationship with my father? Of course. Luna, anything is possible. Look at the two of us. We’re perfect examples. We’re both free after all the– Do you believe in fate? Maybe. I believe that… I was allowed to get away with all those terrible– I think I was meant to be here as your grandmother, a source of strength for you. And Finn is your father. You deserve a life with him, and so do I. Thank you for believing that. And thank you for not turning your back on me. You’ve done terrible things. But that doesn’t make you a… a terrible person. Right now, you might be the only person in my corner. No. That’s not true. Bill arranged a pardon for you. Yeah, uh… he and I, we-we have a weird connection. Our messed-up childhoods bonded us, and… I know he wants to see me succeed, but he can only help so much. I mean, he asked me to leave. I literally had nowhere to go. Now, that’s not true. Because I’m here for you. And I’m gonna take care of you. [Luna sniffles] ELECTRA: Luna was at Il Giardino? And she actually… came on to you? I shut her down. As if you’d be interested in a murderer. As if I would be interested in anyone but you. [huffs] What was she thinking, making a play for someone who’s already taken? [uneasy music plays] [moody music plays] Hey, I hear you…all right? There’s definitely no place for Luna in our lives. I wish it could be different. -For your sake. -No, honey, honey, hey. I get it, okay? I get it. I do. -Okay. -Okay. Oh! [chuckles] -Oh. -Hey, Mom. -Sorry! -Hi. I should have texted you I was coming over. I don’t wanna be one of those mothers. You’re never gonna be one of those mothers. You weren’t interrupting. We were just, um, talking it all out. “It”? How crazy it is that Luna’s out of prison. Yeah. Yeah, it’s completely crazy. Something is seriously wrong with the system if someone as sick as Luna can go free. You’re an inspiring example, you know? What it means to get a new life, a second chance. That’s all I want. Ah, well, I–mmm. I’m not sure that’s all you want, because you did mention something about a boy. And not just any boy. Uh-uh. Uh, no, uh…Will Spencer? [chuckles] This is making you upset. I can tell. Well, yeah. It’s not exactly fun to hear that someone’s hitting on my boyfriend. I was as thrown as you are. This is just more proof of how unhinged she is, thinking that it could ever happen between the two of you. You hate Luna. Everybody does. For good reason! I-I know. Being unhinged gives you confidence, I guess. She really hit on you? What did she say? It doesn’t matter. I told you– No. I wanna know. Well, that, um, that she would, uh, she would always be there for me. Whatever I want. Whatever I need. I know, I know. It’s inappropriate. Especially since it was a, um… Since what? Since it was a reaction to us. She must have saw us at the restaurant and started eavesdropping. So basically, she’s willing to give you everything I’m not. [edgy music plays] Luna killed two men. She tried to kill me. She should be locked up. She shouldn’t be a part of society, but– Somehow, some way, Bill got her put on house arrest. And even more crazy– he got her released. Fully pardoned. I’ll never understand it. But I’m gonna do everything in my power to get her back in prison. She needs to rot in a cell for her crimes. Her and her grandmother… Sheila. I, uh, I realized… you’re–what do you kids say these days? You’re-you’re crushing on Will pretty hard. No. It’s more than a crush. [laughs] How can that be? You just met him. No, I used to watch him. Yeah, when I was on house arrest at Bill’s, I would hide when he would come over and… I would listen in on their conversations, and… he’s just really sweet and thoughtful. He’s just a really great guy, you know? Yeah. They are out there. I found one. Well, I think I found mine. That’s why I sort of, um… I kinda did something earlier. What? He was here. At the restaurant? Mm-hmm. With her. -Her? -Electra Forrester. [laughs] You mean his girlfriend. I guess. Anyways, after little miss smug left, I approached him. Yeah? Well, how did that go? [exhales] Honestly, he was a little freaked out to see me. I am very familiar with that kind of a reaction. I mean, I swore up and down that I’ve changed and that I’m not the same person who-who did those horrible things. No, you’re not. Of course you’re not. Also, I…made it very clear exactly how I feel about him. Don’t let Luna get under your skin. It’s probably the last time I’m ever gonna see her. I doubt it, if she’s got some kind of crush. It’s so embarrassing. Embarrassing? What-what’s embarrassing? Well, she’s spying on us, eavesdropping. The things we were talking about– she must have heard you talking about taking things to the next level. I don’t know what she overheard. Okay, but clearly, me talking about liking oat milk wasn’t what gave her the idea. She did that because she heard you talking about wanting to further our relationship, and… she just threw herself at you. Was it the second I left? Yeah, basically. And how did you respond? What did you say to her? [edgy music plays] Makes my skin crawl, thinking about Luna and Sheila being blood related. No offense.

Finn: Who are you? It’s me, sweetheart, your mother. I’m your mother. That day has finally come– the day that you have waited an entire lifetime for, Luna. It’s me. I’m your father. You have to set me free. Think about Finn. Think about my family, please. A family that you’ll never see again. No, don’t say something like that! I’ll kill you! No! No, no, no, come back here, Luna! You’re not gonna get away with it! You’re not gonna get away with it! -[intense music plays] -[no audio] [no audio] [gunshot] No! Luna Nozawa has been pardoned. She’s a free woman!

Steffy:  Free woman? She killed two men! She needs to go back to prison! We have an opportunity here… …for a second chance, thanks to Bill Spencer, so please, let’s not waste it. -A second chance? -To start over. I don’t wanna see you. I don’t wanna know you’re alive. You stay away from me, my wife, and our children. Just stay the hell away. No, um, none taken. It’s crazy, knowing what Sheila has done over the years, and now her granddaughter’s just picking up where she left off. It explains Luna’s dangerous, sociopathic behavior, -that’s for sure. -Yeah. It does. Two women willing to do anything, no matter how horrible, to get what they want in this life. Grandmother and granddaughter– two vile, soulless murderers. Sheila and Luna. Two peas in a pod. [exhales] You told Will how you feel. Mm-hmm. After his perfect, prude girlfriend shut him down. Electra is so annoying, and not just to me. [huffs] Poor Will. -Poor Will? -Yes! I could see how frustrated he was after she left. He wants more. He needs more. He needs a real woman. [laughing] Oh! Someone like my beautiful, sexy granddaughter? [both laughing] You don’t have to worry. Not about you, but what about Luna? What if she didn’t get the message and keeps pursuing? I told Luna I want nothing to do with her. -Okay. -She and I will never happen. But Will, this girl killed two people. Why? Because she wanted to be your dad’s daughter. She wanted to be a Spencer, and what if she’s thinking she can still do that through you? She can think whatever she wants as long as it’s far away from us. I don’t want that girl anywhere near you. I wonder why she was at Il Giardino in the first place. Same as us. The food’s good. Is she following us? No, no. I-I don’t think so. Wait, uh, that waitress, um… the owner’s wife. -Uh, Sheila Carter. -Yes. Didn’t Luna just find out they’re related? Yeah, Finn’s her father, which makes Sheila her grandmother. And it’s almost ironic. You would think that Il Giardino is the last place that Luna would wanna show her face at, given that she had just murdered two people there. -[phone chimes] -[exhales] Oh, shoot, I–I gotta go. It’s Ridge. He wants me for the mail room. But listen, don’t let this Luna stuff get you down, okay? I’ll try. And don’t let her get into your head. As long as we stay far away from Luna, she’s not gonna be able to hurt us. We survived Remy. We’re gonna survive Luna too. I don’t want anything coming in between us. You mean too much to me. Well, one thing’s gotta come between us. The mail room. Did you already forget Ridge texted you? Look at you, making sure I keep my job. It’d be way too boring here without you. -Mm-hmm. -[giggles] I’ll see ya. We are definitely surviving Luna. [oceans waves splashing] I don’t… I don’t think we have another Sheila with Luna because Sheila… …she doesn’t give up. Meaning what? Oh, she reaches out, wanting to see Hayes and me. -Not that I ever respond… -[heavy sigh] …or give her any reason to think that that’s actually possible.

Steffy:  I know, but Sheila doesn’t care. She’ll do whatever it takes to pull you back in. You don’t wanna deal with -Luna doing it to you too. -No, I don’t, and I can’t have anything to do with either one of them. -Sheila… -And Luna, Finn. Yeah. Definitely not. The girl’s dangerous.

Steffy:  Who knows what she’ll do? Or who she’ll target next. -Table for one? -Uh, no, I’m actually looking for someone. -Luna. Is she still here? -My shift just started. Um…what about Sheila? Sheila… oh, I think she’s upstairs. Yeah, first apartment you come to on your right. Thank you. [phone chimes] -WILL: Oh– -Oh! I am so sorry. I was not looking where I was going. It’s okay. I guess I wasn’t either. A ring. [soft music plays] I know how much you want it. You can have it all with me. Mmm. When I think about the future -that Will and I can share– -Future? This isn’t just about some kind of a fun hookup? No! No, it’s so much more than that. Wow! Okay, well, then if that’s the future you want, I will do everything in my power to help you get it. -[Sheila chuckles] -[knock on door] -Uh, you better… -Hide? Yeah. [clears throat] -Hello. -Hi, Shiela. Yes? Electra Forester. I think you have sat in my section a few times. -Mm-hmm. -Normally with Will Spencer. -Yes. -Yeah, I think you might have made a wrong turn, though, if you’re looking for the hostess stand. I’m actually looking for Luna, your granddaughter. [door clicks open] Me? I know what you said to Will, my boyfriend, and I’m here to tell you to back off or you’re gonna regret it.

[mellow music plays] I don’t think you’ll ever know how grateful I am for you, how big my love is for you. Well, it goes both ways. No, seriously, honey. The news about Luna being my daughter– that could’ve…broken us. But you didn’t let that happen. I said we’re gonna get through this together. I meant it.

Deacon: Crazy Luna is Finn’s daughter. My granddaughter. I-I have another grandchild. This should be good news. And it would be if it was anyone else, Sheila. But after what she did… come on, she can’t be a part of our lives. Deacon, she is a part of our lives. No, she’s not, all right? Get this through your head. I want nothing to do with your murderous granddaughter. And what if I do? Then you got a choice you gotta make. It’s me or that lunatic. [dark music plays] So you’re saying whatever I need… you’ll be there for me. Anything. Anything at all. Yeah. You just have to tell me what you want. Yeah, I think this bigger gem looks gorgeous on this piece. What do you think? Okay. I’ll take that as a yes. [sighs] Ahh, gosh, it’s nice. Are you as excited as I am that the family is back in charge around here? -[singsong voice] Electra… -Sorry. -Yeah, it’s beautiful. -What is going on with you? Don’t try and tell me it’s nothing, ’cause you’ve been distracted all day. -It’s about Will. -Mmm. Yeah, I had a feeling it would be him. He better not have done anything to hurt you. No. No, nothing like that. It’s just… he wants to take things to the next level.

Steffy:  It just feels so unreal… Luna getting pardoned. Yeah, thanks to Bill Spencer, no less. You know what? He’s always claimed that he was gonna protect his granddaughter and me. Seems like Luna’s really… got to him. [scoffs] Well, we have to keep fighting. We have to do whatever it takes to make sure Luna goes back to prison. [sighs] In the meantime, we just have to, um, be on guard. Like we are with Sheila. I’m serious. You gotta decide. I don’t love being backed into a corner. I know, baby. You think I like giving you this ultimatum? But it is what it is. So is it me or your crazy granddaughter? It’s you. Of course it’s you. You are my love. You’re my husband. Come here. I love you. I love you too. Will isn’t pressuring you, is he? No, no, not pressure. He wouldn’t do something like that, but it’s clear where he’d like the relationship to go. I love Will, and he loves me. He’s-he’s a good boyfriend. He helped me with that whole Remy situation and… he’s just everything I’ve wanted in a boyfriend. He’s amazing, but… I’m just not ready. Well, you know whatever feelings you’re having are entirely valid, and I’m glad to hear that he isn’t pushing you, but can I ask you what he said? Just that…it’s been hard to be with me and… and to hold me and kiss me… Right. Without taking things further. Mm. [soft music plays] I know how much you want it. You can have it all with me. It’s taking everything in me not to grab you. Grab me? Do it, Will. Do it. [edgy music plays] What’s going on in that head of yours? Uh, just…processing. Finding out that you have a grown daughter? The girl you thought was your cousin. Yeah, I’m still processing that too. You know there’s nothing you can do to fix it. -Like, you can’t fix her. -No. I know. You’re right. Ohh, it’s just so crazy. Your daughter’s Luna, and that means she’s Sheila’s granddaughter. Like all of this is starting to make perfectly sick sense. You know, the two women who tried to kill me are your daughter and your mother. I know this wasn’t an easy decision for you. But I understand where you’re coming from, and Luna is always gonna be connected to Tom and Hollis’s deaths. And that is unforgiveable. Sheila, I know how much you desire a family. I mean, you yearn for a relationship with your son, with your grandson, and I’ve seen how hard you’ve tried to make it work, try to build a connection with them, and for the most part… for the most part, I’ve done my best to support it. I mean, I-I want them to see the woman that I’ve married, get to know how worthy she is. You’ve seen me grow. You-you’ve seen how I’ve changed. I know, and if Finn’s daughter was anyone but Luna… All right. It’s clear you made up your mind. I mean, she’s dangerous, and Tom and Hollis– they were a part of our family. They’re gone because of her. Just feels wrong just to even talk about letting her in our family. I mean, i-it’s stupid to think that she wouldn’t turn on us too. You pick a snake up by its tail, you can’t get angry when it bites you. We’ve got no idea what she’s capable of. Who her next victim might be. Being here at Forrester and getting to work with you and learn from you, it’s–it’s changed my life. I wouldn’t trade this for the world. Well, I love having you here, and Forrester is so damn lucky to get you so early on in your career. But I want you to know that it’s okay to admit that, you know, meeting Will is a big part of why you love it here as much as you do. You caught me. I love Will. Which is why this has been a little…difficult for me. I mean… what if he feels differently about me now? Well, all I really know about Will is that he’s very sweet and caring, an honorable guy. So I have to imagine that he’s more than willing to wait until you’re ready. Well, you wanna grab me? Yeah. Yeah, I wanna grab you. -[chuckles] -And tell you to stop. What you’re suggesting will never happen. The fact that you even thought that was a possibility shows me just how unhinged you are. You attacked and killed two people and put Steffy in a cage, and I haven’t forgot that. That’s not who I am, though. I swear. Your dad believes me. Maybe someday you will too. I will never believe you or your delusional stories or see whatever it is that my dad saw in you. Never, Luna. Never. [moody music plays]

Finn: You don’t have to worry about my birth mother or my daughter– they won’t come near us. Well, Sheila’s a wildcard. We don’t even know what Luna is capable of. She’s out now–we don’t know what resources she has -now that she’s free. -That’s true. I don’t know what Luna is up to or where she is, but I promise you… I will do whatever it takes to protect you and our family from Luna and Sheila. Protecting me from my granddaughter isn’t necessary. I’m gonna stay away on my own. What? What? Come on, no, “Oh, good girl”? Mmm. I think I’m gonna save that for later. Hey, you know what, we finally got– finally got that mascarpone cheese from Italy. Oh, great, what, thwarted by– by an imported soft cheese. No, not thwarted, just, uh, postponed. Hey, and that cheese, it helps support you and your sexy nine toes. -Oh, stop it! -[laughing] Listen. I love you, and I do support you. Just not with Luna. I do believe that Will doesn’t judge me for wanting to wait. Yeah, well, I mean, you two have already been through a lot as a couple, but ultimately, you’re still… relatively a new relationship. So I-I think you should both wait until you’re ready, you know, both of you. I’m grateful for everything Will has brought into my life. He’s a catch, and… I hate to admit it, but that’s part of what worries me. Uh, what, that some other girl might offer him what you’re not? I just wouldn’t be surprised if there are girls out there throwing themselves at him. Oh! Okay. So here’s what you need to remember. You are a catch too. Okay? Are you listening? He’s very lucky to have you. So if he’s willing to throw away what you two have for some… fling, well, then, he’s not worthy of you. Yeah. It doesn’t change my stance. I need to be true to myself. I am not ready. And I just need to trust that Will respects me enough to understand my decision. Couldn’t help but see you with Electra earlier. You know, it was easy enough for me to decipher what’s going on between you two. I can recognize when a guy’s being shut down. And your frustration? I mean, it’s not just the muffins you’ve been downing. It’s written all over your face. Electra is not giving you everything you want and need. So I’m gonna tell you again, Will– whatever you want, whenever you need it. I’m here for you. I never wanna hear Electra’s name out of your mouth again. In fact, I don’t want you anywhere near her, my dad, or me. You got it? Stay away, Luna. Muffin. I’m not giving up on you, Will Spencer. [soft, stirring music plays] Hey, there you are. Are these the new samples that Ivy wanted you to see? -Yeah. Gorgeous, right? -They’re okay. -Not as gorgeous as you. -Sorry I had to bail on you at Il Giardino. Yeah, uh, right. Um… It was actually probably better that you left. Luna showed up. The murderer? What did she want? Well, she tried to convince me that she wasn’t that bad person who did all those hideous things. -[scoffs] -I know. It’s BS. And she kept trying to feed me this idea that my dad saw into it and that I should too. She’s delusional. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Which is why I told her– strong, direct message– stay away from us. I’m still shocked she’s even out of prison. I know. She barely spent any time locked up– after killing two men! And the craziest part is that she actually came on to me. Luna came on to you? What’s going on? Okay, Deacon’s gone. He’s gonna be gone for a little while. I just–I needed you to come here. I-I need to get some things right. You know how much I-I want a relationship with my family, my flesh, my-my blood. My husband– he’s a really good man, and he’s seen me evolve and get out from under my past. It’s just… this is–this is just a little more difficult than I expected. I thought that you were gonna tell Deacon earlier what– I did. I did. I told him that you were my granddaughter. But then why are you trying to hide– -So Deacon’s– -Well, he’s not that thrilled that you’re my grandchild. It’s not the reaction that I was hoping for. No. I should have known better. I mean, I caused Deacon so much pain and grief. I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. -Luna, I– -No, I-I get it, I get it. You can’t see me anymore, and… you asked me here to say goodbye. Well, tell me you believe me. Finn, I-I want to. But I need you to realize that Luna– she can’t be anywhere near us or our children. Ever.

Luna: I mean, you just found out that Finn’s my father, and I don’t expect you to risk your marriage just because I’m your granddaughter. [exhales] Listen, I’ll go, but… I just want you to know how much it means to me that my grandmother was willing to accept me. Guess this is goodbye. Goodbye? No, you’re my granddaughter. You’re not going anywhere–I’m always gonna be here for you. You’re family. You’re my family, and you’re not going anywhere. We’ve got a lot of time to make up for, okay? You and me, and I promise… you’re gonna do that with your dad too.

Steffy:  A relationship with Luna is completely out of the question. Finn, you have the biggest heart, but you can never allow Luna into our lives. Hey. [heavy music plays]

[mellow music plays] Will, what the hell was your old man thinking, opening up his house to a murderer? Wish I knew myself. We’re just as shocked as you are. Yeah, I mean, there she is, she’s sitting in a filthy cell, exactly where she belongs, and then Bill comes in and bribes one of his connections and then sets her up at his home like it’s a five-star hotel. I mean, she killed two people. I’m sorry, Deacon. The last person you should have to worry about right now is Luna. And now–now she’s gotten pardoned? I mean, this is ridiculous! I mean–you know, there’s no justice in the world. Yeah, she’s out right now, but I’m sure she’ll mess up again, land herself right back in prison. I pray you’re right. In the meantime, I hope she stays far away from here. Oh, Luna. My gosh. I’m so happy to see you. Me too, Grandma. Say that again. Grandma. That’s like music to my ears. I– Uh, this…it’s still such a shock for me but such a happy surprise. Do sit. So, um, how did Deacon take the news? I haven’t told him yet. I don’t blame you. He probably hates me. He knows how much family means to me, so I will take care of him. But you know what? I’m looking for an apartment -for you nearby. -For real? Yes. We’ve got a lot of time to make up for, -and I want you close to me. -Oh, my God, I would love that. Yeah. Yeah, well, you counted right. It’s-it’s nine toes. It’s an interesting story. One that I actually think you might appreciate. Thank you for accepting me like you have. I had nowhere else to go. You’re family. You’re blood. And I would do anything -for my beautiful granddaughter. -[giggling] Luna’s evil. She’s… a special type of evil. How long did she serve? What, a couple months? If that. Kidnapping. Murder. Attempted murder. She’s out and about like a cuckoo bird, and my friends, they’re six feet deep. -It’s awful. -I’m real sorry, Deacon. My dad was responsible for this. You know what, man, I’m sorry. [sighs] I didn’t mean to rant. Hey, you guys, your food’s here, and it’s on me. I-I gotta go take care of something upstairs, okay? -You enjoy. -All right, thanks, man. Feel so awful for him. Yeah, yeah, me too, but, you know, let’s not have that ruin our day. I wanna focus on only you, and it’s not so hard to do when you’re sitting over there looking so pretty. It’s nice to have some alone time. You call this alone? You know what I mean. Electra, I wanna be alone alone with you. And I know we talked about things before, and it’s cool that we’re taking things slowly, but… gosh, I just don’t know, being so close to you… Will, we are in public! I know. So let’s go someplace private. Just look at you… so beautiful and brave. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Yeah. It’s a second chance I never thought I’d get. You make the best of it, all right? You can…you can have and you can be anything you want to be. You can have your heart’s desire. My mom never said that to me growing up. Mmm. Well, I am certainly not your mother. So what is it? What do you want? Do you want fame? Money. [gasps] Maybe a really hot guy. Mmm. [laughs] Oh! Okay. Well, then let’s go find one. Maybe I already have. Will Spencer. Bill’s son.

Deacon: Sheila, you up here? [footsteps approach] -Sheila! -That’s Deacon. -What do I do? -Uh, go hide in there. I’m gonna distract him, and then you can slip out. Okay. -Hey. There you are. -Hey. -Oh, come here! -[chuckling] Damn, girl, what was that for? [chuckles] We’ve been dating for a while now. Don’t you think it’s time to, uh, take things to the next level? Next level? I think we’ve already taken it to the next level, you know, the way we feel about each other. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you wanna be exclusive, right? You’re not interested in seeing anyone else but me. Of course not. I’m only interested in you. Same here. And we’re both so connected. And we share everything. Well, almost everything. I guess what I’m trying to say is… is that you know I love you, Electra. I love you too. And when two people -love each other– -[phone chimes] Oh. Hold on. Shoot. It’s Ivy. She needs me back at Forrester. Can we talk about this later? Yeah, yeah. No problem. [uneasy music plays] Maybe if I knew that was waiting for me, I would have taken a break a long time ago. Just a little sampling of what I’m gonna do to you later. Wait a second. Are you buttering me up? -Well– -I-I knew it. I knew it. All right, okay. Let’s have it. -I’ve got some news. -Do I need to pop a beer -for this? -I think you’re gonna need -something stronger. -Great. Well, it-it’s nothing bad. It’s really quite incredible. Okay, well, you know, let’s hear it. I have a grandchild. Yeah. I-I know. Hayes. No. No, a-a granddaughter, a beautiful young woman. She’s just-just misunderstood, a little bit of an outcast like me. [laughs] Wait a second, are you–are you telling me there’s like a little Sheila roaming the earth? Yes! And you didn’t know her till now? Well, I-I knew her. I-I just didn’t know that she was family, and neither did she. Uh, well, okay, uh, I guess that makes me, what, -the step-grandfather? -[chuckles] All right. When do I get to meet the mystery girl? You already have. Who is she? You’re gonna be a little surprised when I tell you. [exhales, clears throat] Sheila, at this point in our relationship, I don’t think there’s anything that you could say that would surprise me. Come on! Come on, spit it out. Who is she? It’s Luna. Luna Nozawa is my granddaughter. [seductive music plays] Damn, Luna, I can’t get enough of you. But it’s wrong. Then why don’t you stop? Because I can’t. -WILL: God, you’re bad. -Mmm. You have no idea. SERVER: Order up. Hi, Will. You’re Luna’s grandma. Come on, Sheila, that’s not even funny. You know how I feel about her. I-I swear on my life, on my son’s life. Who-who told you this? Luna. Sheila, what are you thinking of? I mean, she’s a pathological liar! She’s playing you. You can’t trust a thing out of her mouth. No. She is Finn’s daughter. Finn a-and Poppy, they-they had a one-night fling, and that’s when Luna was conceived. You’re kidding me, right? Look, if you don’t believe me, text Finn. All right, this is– this is way too twisted. Okay, I-I know. I-I know it sounds crazy, but i-it’s true. So w-wait a second, so… so Luna’s paternity… Tom wasn’t the dad–it was Finn! Poppy has been saying for so long that she wasn’t sure and then Finn did a paternity test on himself. It’s out there. Everyone knows. -Wait. Does Steffy know? -Yes. W-wait a second. Luna didn’t come by here? You didn’t fail to mention that, did you? I-I was just waiting for the right time. The right time? What, are you kidding me? There is no right time! I understand this might be upsetting for you. Upsetting for me? Now wait a second. You mean for us, right? Is that what you mean? My God, Sheila, are you kidding me? Y-you can’t be happy about this! She’s part of me, Deacon! No. No! This is nuts, all right? Listen to me. I love you… but I’m your husband, and I am not gonna put up with this. You know how much I want a relationship -with my grandchildren. -Baby, I do, yes, I know, but this is different. This isn’t normal. I mean, Hayes is an innocent little boy. It makes perfect sense that you would want to be in his life. But Luna? After what she did? Are you kidding me? I don’t care if she’s your granddaughter or not! She killed Tom and Hollis! I want nothing to do with her! I don’t believe it. I’m actually looking at you. You’re not in prison. Thanks to your dad. Yeah, yeah, buying your freedom or whatever it is that he did. Yeah, I’m still not exactly sure how that happened, but it’s legit– I’m a free woman. Because your dad believed in me. Apparently so. Listen…[exhales] I know that what I did is indefensible, okay? -And I am horrified by it. -How can you even be in here? The same place where they died. I know the pain that I’ve caused, and it’s not like I can escape from it. But at the same time, it’s like… I wasn’t even here. Like, I was this completely different person, like… like I was outside of my body watching someone else take over. I know. It sounds like I’m making excuses, but your dad gets it. We can relate on a few things. I’m not this evil monster that everyone thinks I am. And with Finn as my dad, I know that I have some good in me. Either way, Luna, you should be in prison. [small laugh] Why are you smiling? You’re really cute. I saw you with Electra when I walked in. So then you must have also seen us when we were at my dad’s place. I couldn’t help it. I had to hide when you guys showed up unannounced. So you were watching, listening. -Not on purpose. -No, right, right. Nothing you do is on purpose. An evil spirit took over and forced you to be a bad person. -It all makes sense. -No. I’m not a bad person. I just… do bad things sometimes. Oh, it’s funny. I didn’t know there was a difference. Yeah. Yeah, I can be all kinds of bad. I can be…fun bad, naughty bad. Okay. Okay. Whatever you gotta tell yourself in order to sleep at night. Listen, I understand that you’re a little freaked out to see me here, but… I really have changed. Like, I’m not taking my freedom for granted. I really look forward to enjoying my life, you know. I’m gonna have fun, give back. Your family has been so wonderful to me, Will, and I’d like to reciprocate. I wanna be here for you. Whenever you need me. [uneasy music plays] [dark music plays] Of all the people in the world… Luna Nozawa, the… person who murdered my two best friends– she’s your grandkid. -Amazing, though, isn’t it? -No! No, it’s not amazing, Sheila. It’s insane! Hell, it downright t– you know, I have put up with so much crazy… maybe I’m crazy for marrying you. How could you say such a thing? Baby, please, that did not come out of my mouth right. I love you. I do. We have–we have crazy good sex. I mean, I’m talking crazy good, but this is… it–this is more than I can handle. I mean, Luna can’t come around here. I don’t wanna see her face. -Deacon– -No! Don’t manage me, all right? You wanna be with your crazy granddaughter, you go ahead and you do it. But if you choose to walk down that road, you do it alone without me. I-I can’t be a part of it. I mean, Hollis was my guy! Tom saved your life! -And I am– -No! Stop it! No, I’m forever grateful to them–I am. They didn’t deserve to die, but there is nothing and no one that will ever convince me otherwise. Not even Luna? No! God– She’s the first person to admit that what she did was wrong. Oh, is she, really? Yeah? That’s convenient that she grew a conscience. Too bad she didn’t do it before she poured drugs into– -Okay, stop! -No! No, no, no, I understand that this is a difficult situation for you. A-and I expect you to defend your friends’ memories. I-I’m only asking t-that you… you look at things from my perspective–that’s all. Luna is my flesh. She’s my blood. She’s a part of my family, a part of our family. Baby, you got a choice to make. It’s her or me, because I gotta draw the line somewhere. Baby, that girl is dangerous. She’s a wrecking ball. And wherever she goes… trouble follows. And what could you possibly do for me? That’s your third muffin. You must be starving. I am. Just hear me out, okay? I wanna be a kinder person. I’m making it my life’s mission to do better. -Is that even possible? -Your dad thinks so. Yeah, well, his judgment has been pretty off lately. That’s fine. Let me prove it to you. No. No, no, no. I don’t need you to do that for me. When I used to listen to you talk to your dad back when I was at the house– What you mean to say is when you were sneaking around and eavesdropping on private conversations, but yes, please, go ahead. Well, I could tell what a great guy you are. What a devoted son. Always checking in on Bill. What is this, Luna? What do you want from me? I…wanna be your friend. With benefits. That will never happen. You know, actually, that’s fine. I don’t really want any new friends anyway, so… what about just the benefits part? You’re out of your mind. I’ll have my own place nearby. You come in a lot. You like the food. No one will ever have to know. Not even your girlfriend. -WILL: [small laugh] -Let me show you that I’m a new and improved person. I can be nice. Very nice. I can also be very discreet. I promise I won’t say a word. I mean it, Will. I’m here for you. Whenever you want. [edgy music plays]

Bill: Here’s a look ahead. -Luna can’t be anywhere near us or our children. You effectively unleashed a maniac. I am warning you to never come near Will or me again. [intense percussive chords]

[somber music plays]

Brooke: ‘Cause our love is still there, Ridge, and I just don’t wanna live one more moment without you. TAYLOR: Ridge and I have recommitted to each other… in every way.

Brooke: Just come back to me where you belong. Need you to come home. [door slams] How could you do this to me? My own mother! Okay, wait. Wait a minute. So all of this happened today? Yep, it’s official. Carter tore up the LLC papers, handed the company back to Eric, Ridge, and Steffy. -Wait–but Hope is out? -Yeah. Apparently, Steffy tore into her. It was ugly. Canceled her line. Cancel–but wait, Carter’s staying on? And Brooke. Which, I can only imagine, Hope has gotta see as a huge betrayal. Just don’t know what this is gonna do to their relationship. -[both giggling] –

Steffy:  We did it! Even better–we got the company back and Dad stood up to Brooke. He made his love and commitment for you known to everyone– this is just incredible! Well, felt good hearing him say it. Gosh, everything’s the way it should be. The company’s back. You and Dad are back together. [laughing] It’s a wonderful day for the Forresters! It is! I’m so excited! -Mom, dad chose you. -Ohh. Our family over Brooke. He finally sees what’s been -standing right in front of him. -Hmm. I can never love anyone the way I love your father. He’s…my heart.

Steffy:  Well, your heart was broken. -But now it’s been mended. -Oh, it’s better than mended. -It’s stronger than ever. -Mm-hmm. And it’s full of love. [giggling] Well, I have to believe that Brooke and Hope will work things out because you know what? Logan women stick together. [chuckles] Logan women. Mom’s birthday’s coming up. Yeah. I haven’t forgotten. Gosh, I wonder what she’d think of all this. She’s been gone for so long, and it’s-it’s crazy, though. Sometimes it just– it still hits me. Like I’ll be driving in my car and a song’ll come on and I’ll just totally lose it. Yeah. I know. Couldn’t have been easy, right? I mean, single mom, but… somehow she kept us all together. Yeah. She was so strong. Taught us how to be strong, too, right? Yes, she did. And Brooke and Hope are gonna pull on that, that Logan strength–I know it. They’re gonna have to. They may need it now more than ever. How could I do this to you? [exhales] You’re right, Hope. I never should have done what I did. I lost the love of my life because of it. All that I ever tried to do was to stand up for what was right, what was fair, to defend our family name. I never wanted you to take over the company! We were going to lead Forrester Creations into the future and it was working– we were changing the culture. It was a success, and we made you CEO because we thought you were on board with us! I did it for Ridge! I took the CEO position to get the company back for Ridge! [dramatic music plays] [upbeat music plays] Whoo! Come on, sticky! Whoo. Justice has been served. Forresters are finally back in control of the company again. Mmm. Mmm! And Hope… she got hers. She thought that Carter was gonna leave with her, but he didn’t. I’m really hoping it’s the end of their relationship. It’s safe to say it probably will be. Yeah. Yeah, the end of Hope and Carter and… more importantly, the end of Dad and Brooke. To you and Dad. Finally back together again. Forever. So… you only took the CEO position so you could get the company back for Ridge, for the Forresters? You were never on my side? They didn’t deserve to lose their life’s work, their legacy, Hope. Did I deserve to be humiliated, to be called all of those vile names? That is not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is you choosing them over me! No, I didn’t do that. I would never do that. I just wanted to get the company back for Ridge. [laughs] So you sell out your own daughter to do so. Please, Mom, you cannot defend that to me! You can’t defend what you did either. -[tearful laughing] -Ridge left me because of it, Hope. I’ve lost him! That is all that matters to you, isn’t it? -Oh! -Just Ridge. That’s the only thing that matters. Not that your daughter has lost her career, her love, her family. Not that the changes that we were implementing were working! The fragrance launch, the jewelry line– they were a success, Hope for the Future was on a rebound. We’re launching a new collection. None of that matters because you lost your Ridge. God, Mom, why– why are you never there when I actually need your support? I mean, for once, I just– I just… wanted you to pick me! You know that I’ve been there. I’ve been supporting you, Hope. My God, you’re my daughter. I love you. Just not as much as you love Ridge! That’s it! God, Mom, how many times have I picked you up off the ground after he left you, and you continue to demean yourself for that man! You gave him everything he wanted and betrayed your own daughter to do it. So where is he, Mom, huh? Where’s Ridge? Ridge! Oh, that’s right. He’s with Taylor. How many times are you going to allow that man to make a fool of you? Don’t you dare talk to your mother like that. I am not going to let you berate my sister. She did what she thought was right. Wait, so you– you knew? You knew why she accepted the CEO position? [gasps] The two people I’m supposed to trust most. My own family… made a fool of me. Well, I really have lost everything, haven’t I? Even my own mother. [heavy music plays] What? Ah, it’s root beer floats… just like what your grandmother would give you when you had something to celebrate. Well, I figured since we got the company back from the Logans, it made sense. Mmm. You remind me so much of her– strong, smart, -a force to be reckoned with. -[both chuckle] I’m so proud of you. Your grandmother would be too. I hope so. Grandmother had such great advice. And still, when I’m unsure of what to do, I just…I imagine what she would say to me. She loved you so much. Her namesake. Well, I am determined to live up to her legacy. And she warned me to be wary of the Logans, and, boy, did I listen. I took what she said to heart. But it finally happened, Mom. We won. The battle is over. Hope is out of the company, and Dad made it clear that he wants a life with you, he wants a future with you. I have a hard time believing it’s…real. It’s been such a struggle all these years. And now we’re together. We’re solid. Just makes me feel… giddy–I mean, that’s the only word I can use to describe it. Like when he walks in the room, I feel like my heart’s gonna jump out of my chest. I’m like some lovesick schoolgirl. I know it’s totally ridiculous, but I don’t care because I’m so happy, I’m so in love. I promise I won’t start singing. -[laughs] -And if you tell anybody I just said that, I’ll tell them it’s the sugar talking. Don’t worry. Anything shared over a sacred root beer float stays in this room. There’s no one I can trust. Hope, please listen to me. We’re Logan women. Katie, I don’t wanna hear about the Logan women and how we’re supposed to support and protect each other when, clearly, that is a lie, and besides, I’m not even really a Logan, am I? What are you talking about? I only have this last name because Mom was too ashamed to give me my father’s name– isn’t that right, Mom? -Your little mistake? -Okay, stop, stop, because you are saying things that you’re gonna regret, things you can’t take back. Your mother has always been there for you. She wasn’t there for me today when I needed her the most. No, she was standing up there with my supposed love and champion Carter as Steffy humiliated me yet again. Disrespected me, all my years of hard work, our family name… and did she walk out with me in solidarity? No! No. It was just empty words of protest and never action. She would rather watch Steffy win at my expense than be there for her own daughter. All because you wanna try to get back Ridge. Isn’t that right, Mom? [tearful laughing] You abandoned me when I needed you the most! [crying] I just needed you to pick me once. And instead, you just–you just want your precious destiny. You want your Ridge back, right, Mom? Well, did you beg this time? Did you cry? Did you grovel at his feet? I hope it was worth it! You’ll never understand what Ridge and I have. Had. He doesn’t want you anymore. When are you going to get that? You would rather betray your own daughter and be with a man that drops you at the slightest inconvenience. -How is that love? -KATIE: Okay, stop. Your mother doesn’t deserve this, Hope. Come on!

Brooke: Yes, I told him that I want him… and I told him that I love him and that I want him back, I want him in my life, and he wouldn’t listen to me. He’s gonna stay with Taylor. And you know what? Steffy could have done things a different way. She was wrong. But you were wrong too, Hope. You never should have taken over the company with Carter. And until you take responsibility for your actions, I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. And I’m not gonna be spoken to like that. You are not going to attack me in my house. Do you understand that? Not in my home! So what are you saying, Mom? Are you kicking me out? [tense music plays] [giggling, shrieking] Oh, my God, I haven’t danced like that in so long. It’s so good! It’s so good. I have to tell you, like when I am by myself sometimes, I just like blast the music and I dance. It feels so good for my body. -I feel like it heals me. -Hmm. I remember when you were pregnant with Hayes. The doctor said you were gonna dance that baby out. Mm-hmm, and I have to admit, my kids have amazing rhythm. They are so lucky to have a mom like you. Well, I learned from the best. Mmm. Thank you for saying that. I know it hasn’t always been easy. There were times I couldn’t be here for you. Mom. I never doubted your love for me. I know I could always count on you. My sweet girl. I love you so much. You’re such a gift to me. I know. Well, I’m-I’m really, really happy for you, Mom. You deserve all the happiness in the world. -Mmm. Come here. -I love you. [upbeat song plays] Oh! I love this song. Oh, yeah. -Little old school. -Old school? -Who you calling old? -I’m not–certainly not you! Come on, let’s dance. -Okay. -Go for it. Show me what you got. Okay. Okay. Okay! Okay! Yes, girl! Yes, girl! I’m no longer welcome in your home. Is that what you’re saying? Hope, please. I’m sure that’s not what your mother means. That is exactly what she means. I mean, she’s probably jumping at the chance to run and tell Ridge that she got rid of me just so she can try to get him back, right, Mom? I told Ridge to leave here because of you. -Don’t you remember that? -And don’t you remember that man calling your own daughter a whore and a bitch and still, you take his side– Okay, stop. This is going to end. When? Please enlighten me, Katie. When is this cycle ever going to end of her constantly choosing the Forresters and their disrespect -over her own family’s love? -Okay, you know what? I get it. You had a bad day today. I understand that, Hope. But you did something wrong, and you have to own it! Carter sees it. I don’t wanna hear about Carter! -He knew what he did– -I sacrificed everything -for him and for his vision… -My God. …and I took the fall for him! Carter couldn’t even live with himself. He had to make things right. Why can’t you see that, Hope? He did it by turning his back on me. The same way that you are. So this is what you want, huh? What are you talking about? I don’t want any of this. I didn’t want you to push Carter into taking over the company! -Oh! -I warned you you were making a mistake. I told you there’d be serious repercussions, and you didn’t listen to me. And now I’m not gonna have you blame me or anybody else for your mistakes. Actions have consequences. And you did this. This was your choice. And you messed up, just like you messed up so many times in your life– your marriage to Liam, your relationship with Thomas, with Douglas, and now this? Are you serious, Hope? This coup with Carter? You say you lost everything in your life? Well, I lost something too! I lost Ridge, and it’s all because of you! I blame you! Who are you? You are not my daughter. Get out. Get out of my house! Get out! [groans] Ohh– -HOPE: Get out of my face– -No, don’t! Don’t, Hope. Don’t. Don’t, Hope. This is not who you are, baby. It’s not who you are. [muttering] I can’t–just– Hope, Hope. Stop! -No! -Hope. -I’m sorry, Mom. -Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I love you. -I’m sorry. -[Hope sobbing]

Brooke: You’re just upset right now. It’s okay. I lost everything. [sobbing] I’m sorry. -I’m sorry. -It’s okay. It’s okay. I love you. [whispering] I love you. [emotional music plays]

[heavy music plays] Ridge has moved on, Brooke. I think it’d be very healthy for you to do the same. I’m your Logan… the love of your life, just like you’re the love of mine. So why don’t we just… move past this and get back to our future that we were building? Need you to come home. Just come back to me, where you belong. You know, when I asked you to take Carter’s mind off of Hope, you weren’t supposed to fall for him. What can I say? Carter’s an incredible man. I’m hoping he still is after Hope’s manipulations. [knock on door] Hey. Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting? No! No, never. Come here. -Hey, Daphne. -Hey. -How’s it going? –

Steffy:  Hey. Hi. Mmm. Wow. -[both laugh] -Happy to see -you’re in a good mood. -How could I not be? It’s a big day for Forrester Creations. I never thought… you, of all people, would betray me. You’re hurting. But I’ve been by your side this entire time. I sacrificed everything because I love you. And you threw it all away for a family that neglected you! It was time to make things right. Oh! Oh, well, then congratulations. I guess making things right is me losing my position and you getting to keep yours. I’ll fix this. I promise. But we can’t let what happened at Forrester be the end of us. What we have is bigger than a job, Hope–we love each other. We can’t give up on that. We can’t. [heavy music plays] Well, it’s official. The LLC has been transferred back. My dad, my grandfather, and I– we’re finally back in control -of Forrester Creations! -Sweetheart, that’s amazing! -I know! -Thanks to Carter. How can you look me in the eyes and tell me you love me? Because I do. Hope, I love you so much. Don’t question that. Pfft. How can I not? If you ever cared for me… or believed in us, you would have walked out of that room with me today. If I did, it would have definitely been the end -of Hope for the Future. -No, I warned you. I told you that this was going to happen, that they were going to use the power that you gave back to them to fire me. Ridge and Eric gave me their word. They can go to Steffy–they can convince her to take you back. Carter… are you being serious right now? What makes you think that they would listen to you after what you did? If you thought you weren’t heard before, oh, you are in for a trip. You know, the only reason you still have a job at the company is because their egos are too big to believe that their good little soldier betrayed them. And it is far easier to blame and shame me. I’m sorry. No, you’re not. You had a chance to stand with me today, and you chose that family instead. Just when I thought you might have found a bit of class over the years, you always prove me wrong. I shouldn’t be surprised. You’re always… throwing yourself at Ridge. -The only reason you’re here– -The only reason I’m here is because you took the CEO position at Forrester. Showing him, once again, your true colors. I took the CEO position to convince Carter what he was doing was wrong. And look. Look where we are. Ridge is back in charge of Forrester Creations, and this horrible chapter is behind us. All of it. We need to heal. We need to be together and move forward. I know I want that, and I believe you want that too. [edgy music plays] I can’t believe you’re questioning my loyalty after everything I’ve done for you. [laughs] Loyalty? -You kissed Daphne, Carter. -[exhales] You abandoned me when I needed you the most because it got tough for you. -You made your choice. -Yes. And I chose my conscience. I told you how this was tearing me apart, how I felt like a traitor, but you wouldn’t listen. We knew the fallout was going to be difficult, and we said that we were going to do it together. Then let’s do it together. Unless… Unless what? I am no longer desirable ’cause I’m not in a position to help you. [scoffs] There it is. Yeah, so Ridge and Steffy finally got into your head. -You think I’m using you. -No. No. But I do think you fell for me because my undying loyalty and everything I was willing to sacrifice for you. Every man in your life has let you down– your father… Liam… Thomas. And here comes Carter, your knight in shining armor, and the second I do something you don’t like, I’m gone! Do you remember the last time I was fired… and you told me had you had been there, you wouldn’t have let it happen? Well, you had your chance today. And you let it happen. Hope… I love you. I love you, and I don’t wanna fight with you. And I don’t want this to be over. You made a deal with Ridge and Eric behind my back, and you set me up. So when I see you standing there… I no longer see the man that I fell in love with. Hope… [whispering] Goodbye, Carter. [somber music plays]

Steffy:  Not once did Hope show an ounce of remorse. She just lacks self-awareness, and she always plays the victim. DAPHNE: Couldn’t agree more. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s something I need to check on. Something or someone? [giggles] That dark period is behind us, Ridge. It’s time that we all move on. I couldn’t agree more. Just come home. Tell me that’s what you want too. [soft, emotional music plays] DAPHNE: I know you think you’re in love, darling, but she’s been using you. When you finally give the company back to the Forresters, remember what I told you about Hope. You okay? Not really. Hope believes I betrayed her, that I stabbed her in the back. She wants nothing to do with me. Her loss. Takes courage to face your wrongs and do what’s right. You know, after the fragrance drop and the press, I was gonna go back to Paris. But I can’t leave now. Because I’ve never met a man like you, Carter Walton. Daphne, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. You helped me find myself, but, uh… I’m really messed up right now. I did the one thing I swore to Hope I would never do, but it wasn’t my fault. No, Ridge and Eric, they broke their promise. After you broke their trust. But you did the right thing. I’m not this good guy. You’ve made mistakes. We all have. And the Forresters gave you a second chance because they see what I see– a remarkable man… full of goodness, intelligence, and integrity. My heart is broken. It’s broken because you gave it to the wrong person. CARTER: Look, I know what’s right, Hope, and I will never–I will never stop fighting for you. HOPE: I have never felt so protected. I love you. I love you too. I don’t wanna be in a world without you in it, Hope. This is our beginning, not our end. I told you. I told you, I will never give up on you. [emotional music swells] -Thank you. -[softly] Yeah. [sighs] Ahh. -Ha. You must feel like… -Mmm. -A weight has been lifted. -Oh, my gosh. Yeah. We finally have the company back. The family business is back where it belongs. Well, it’s more than a business. It’s…it’s a home. My grandparents poured their blood, sweat, and tears into the company, and I just have so many fond memories there, just running around with Thomas and Phoebe in the hallways, trying to sneak into my grandfather’s office to raid the jellybeans in his drawer. Gosh…like even then, the place just seemed so grand to me, and I told myself that one day I’m gonna lead the company. Just wanted to make my parents so proud of me. Well, you have. Because of you, this will never happen again. -Ugh. -What? What is it? Well, we’ve dealt with one Logan. Now we just have to deal with another who’s even more cunning. Mmm. Brooke. Yeah. She wanted to speak with my father, I’m sure to advocate for her daughter. But Brooke never misses an opportunity to throw herself at my father, try to work her way into his life. It’s been a big day for my family, for my dad. And I’m very happy for all of you. But not everything has been restored. It’s nothing that Ridge and Steffy can’t fix. Okay, I respect and admire both of you. You-you gave me my life. You gave me my kids. You gave me…my memories, so many beautiful memories. But I think you’re right, it’s-it’s time to look to the future, but you can’t have a future without a past. We gotta move on. -CARTER: This is just business. -HOPE: This is not business. -This could be an opportunity. -For you. How in the world is this beneficial for me? You’re really staying. DAPHNE: Hope left you. You need to leave her too. It’s not that easy. -It was for her. -It wasn’t. Let me remind you– you carried your guilt long enough. You did the right thing. Don’t for a second regret it. Even if that means I lost Hope? Especially then. You should feel free, light a weight have been lifted. I don’t. You will. I’m here for you. [moody music plays] I wish I could have kicked Brooke out of Forrester -along with Hope. -[sighs] Ohh. Ridge and Eric would never allow it. Yeah. We’ve already been through so much. Last thing we need is an argument about Brooke. But I really hope Brooke doesn’t get into my father’s head and guilt-trip him away from my mom. The idea of hurting either one of you guys is-is… I hate it so much. But we can’t do this anymore. We gotta do something. You knew–you always knew when I saw Brooke for the first time… …she was always gonna be my Logan. And when we were in Rome… I was lost. I don’t mean I was l–I was… I was lost in my life. I didn’t know what to do when I looked through that keyhole. And you were reminded of our destiny. Yeah. And we held on to that… so tight. But it didn’t work, did it? Brooke, I made a commitment. And I’m gonna keep that commitment. [whispering] Don’t do this. [whispering] I will always love you. But my future’s with Taylor. [somber string music plays]

Ridge, please. The last few months have taken a toll on us, on our relationship. I just feel like you gave up on us and on me. But now we have a chance to change things. And I just don’t wanna live one more moment without you. I’m hoping you feel the same way. I want you to come back to me. -[both giggling] -BOTH: Cheers. We really should get some champagne. All in good time, mon cherie. For now, let’s just savor the victory. Forrester Creations is finally ours. No sweeter words, are there? None of this would have happened if it weren’t for you. You helped bring Carter around. Yeah. Carter’s a wonderful man. I think he would have gotten there eventually on his own. I really don’t think that. I mean, Hope–she was in his ear steering him in the wrong direction. Well, in the end…didn’t work. Hope’s out of the company. Mm-hmm. And possibly out of Carter’s life. Mom! Just in time. The LLC papers are being refiled. Forrester Creations is ours. Fabulous, n’est pas? Yes! I’m so happy for you, honey. -Aw. -And your father. I bet Ridge is ecstatic. Look, I know you’re hurting, but I’m not giving up on us. What we have is worth fighting for. Your words mean nothing. Your words are so hollow when your actions today proved otherwise. You caved! You bailed when I needed you most. I didn’t bail on you! I’m right here. -I’m trying to fix this! -You can’t fix this! You broke it! You broke our relationship, and for what? Your empty friendship with Ridge? A seat at the Forrester table again? Really, I wanna know– what makes you think that they’re going to buy anything that comes out of your mouth -after what you did to them? -They probably won’t. But I couldn’t go on with the way things were. Right. And so then Ridge and Eric played on that guilt, and they manipulated your vulnerabilities and got you into tearing up those LLC papers and tore us apart at the same time. Again… I’m sorry… but if you think this is gonna be the end of us, it’s not. It’s not. We’ll come back from this. [emotional music plays] Our relationship is being tested, okay? What we mean to each other. What’s done is done. You made your choice– the Forresters over us. That is not true, Hope. I love you. Don’t close the door on us. Okay? Just… just please try to understand, try to forgive me. Please. [somber music plays] So Hope for the Future’s been suspended? Not only that–Hope walked out. Steffy said it was quite a scene. Well, Hope’s a Logan. They’re big on dramatics. All that matters is that we’re finally rid of Hope. Well, didn’t have much choice after what she did. And what about Carter… and Brooke? Are they gone too? No. And I have mixed feelings about it. I’m guessing you do too. So you wanna turn back time. I want things to be the way they were before this all happened. And they can be– at least between you and me. I mean, Hope, on the other hand– Hope made some extremely bad choices. You know, pushed me, Dad, Steffy out of this company and that’s… caused a lot of pain and a lot of misery for a lot of people. Yes, I know, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what you and your family had to go through. But…we need to… put that in the past and we need to look forward with our lives. And I think we can do that, you know, find that loving, happy couple that we once were, celebrate every magical moment… for the rest of our lives. You want that too? [moody music plays] [mellow instrumentals] So Carter’s in, Hope’s out. That’s where things stand. There’s no way I was gonna let Hope stay on, not after what she did to my family. I agree, but she didn’t do it alone. Carter did play an instrumental role in setting the whole thing in motion. Instrumental, yes. Carter was an instrument for Hope to get what she wanted. Daphne, like I said, if it weren’t for you helping out… like, you really helped save Carter. You saved Forrester. You give me too much credit, my friend. I firmly believe Carter would have gotten there -eventually on his own. -So do I. I’ve come to respect Carter very much. I would have respect him even more if he had sent Hope packing. Well, I would love a ringside seat when that happens. Well, given how you said she left, you have to wonder if this is the end of Hope and Carter. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive you for what you’ve done. This destroyed us. Look, um… I know it feels that way. You’re hurting. But if you– But…what? But what, Carter? What are you hoping for, that I’ll just miraculously wake up one day and forget that all of this ever happened? I lost everything! You didn’t! I am right here! You went there! You abandoned me! -You sided with the Forresters! -I didn’t side with– I had no idea Steffy was gonna get Ridge and Eric to go against their promise to me! Oh, really, their promise that Steffy was just going to let bygones be bygones, and she was not going to take her anger out on me– are you kidding me, Carter? Are you kidding? Like…Steffy blames me for orchestrating the entire takeover of Forrester Creations. She has it out for me. Of course… she wasn’t going to let me stay on. Look, this just happened. It just happened. The wounds are fresh. If we give it a few weeks, I’ll go to Steffy on your behalf. I’ll convince her to change her mind. That would be pointless -because Steffy hates me. -No. No, no, no. No, she doesn’t hate you. She hates what you and I did. And she should. It was wrong, Hope. Why can’t you see that? Why can’t you see that the only traitor standing here is you? It was your idea… to take over Forrester Creations, to expand it into an international luxury brand. You are the lawyer who knows about LLC papers, not me! I just… I just supported you. [laughs] I supported your dream. -My mistake. -Mm. You did. You supported me. We made this happen. And it was wrong. We launched a takeover, Hope. We stole their company. That wasn’t right. And unfortunately– Unfortunately what? What, you let me influence you? Is that it? That I manipulated you into signing those papers? No. I’m the one taking responsibility for his actions. You need to see the error of our ways. Your mom sees it. I see it. And when you see it, we can move on and not let this tear us apart! [dramatic music plays] Well, seems that we’ve been here before, huh? One of us trying to forgive the other for… something or someone. I know you didn’t turn to Taylor to hurt me. You were in pain yourself. But it did hurt. It hurt a lot…and still does. Just thinking of you living there at Eric’s with Taylor and building a life with her… I mean, it’s a lot to take. But you know what’s gotten me through… is our love. ‘Cause our love is still there, Ridge. It is. And I believe in our love… to get us through anything. Even this. [soft music plays] [somber music plays] “The error of our ways”? I’m not attacking you, okay? I love you. You say you love me, but I think you need to admit to yourself that you love your job and your brother Ridge a little more. That’s not true. That is not true, -but I do love the truth. -Oh, the truth! Oh, okay, great. Uh, like how you cheated on me with Daphne. Yeah. That might have been just one kiss, but I’m not naive. I’ve been down this road many times before, and you’ve developed feelings for her, haven’t you? Yeah. Ever since she breezed into Forrester Creations smelling like a dream, right, putting doubts and questions in your head. Doubts about me. One of the people that supported you the most. If this is the end of Hope and Carter, Hope has no one to blame but herself. Hope used him. Carter deserves way better. What about Brooke? Well, honestly, I was hoping Brooke was gonna resign when I gave Hope the boot, but she didn’t. She didn’t come to her daughter’s rescue. Yet. What do you mean? Brooke wanted a moment alone with Dad. I’m assuming she’s gonna try to… salvage Hope’s job. Hmm. She thinks she’ll have a better chance if she appeals to your father. Still, it is possible that Brooke wants something. Something that doesn’t have anything to do with Hope. Getting her destiny back. [edgy music plays] I never doubted your love for me, not once. But what you did here, taking the CEO position– that-that was a betrayal on a whole nother level. Because you didn’t understand why I did it–I did it for you and Eric, to get the company back for you! Oh, please, come on. Look, it doesn’t matter. The fact is, Forrester Creations is back in your family’s hands. You’re back where you belong, running the company. But you’re not back somewhere else. You’re not back home, our home, in our bed. I really want you there. I do. I miss you. Tell me you miss me too. [edgy music plays] [knock on door] Wow. What’s going on here? Or do I have to ask? Daphne, have I told you how grateful I am to you? -That’s not necessary. -No, but it is. You put your life in Paris on hold when I needed you most. That’s what true friendship is about. You would have done the same for me. Plus, I like a challenge. [laughs] Well, getting Forrester Creations back without Hope and Carter knowing, that was a big challenge. But we did it. We accomplished what we set out to accomplish. With one unexpected twist. For me, at least. I do have one favor to ask. Anything. Carter. He can never know about our plan. Wow. You’ve really fallen for the guy, haven’t you? Hope, listen– Daphne kissed you, and you allowed it. -Yes, she kissed me, and– -And what is even worse is that you defended her when I insisted that she pack her bags and leave. So why is that, Carter, huh? Tell me, why? Or do we both know the answer to that question? I cannot believe I trusted you with my heart. -Hope, you can still trust me. -[scoffs] My feelings haven’t changed for you. My love, Hope, has not changed. I love you. I love you. I don’t want this to end. So just give me a chance to fix this. -Let me make this right. -Right? You want to make this right after I have been…humiliated, disgraced, fired yet again… and you just stood there as they slandered my name. That is a betrayal that I can’t even begin to wrap my head around. So you keep talking about us and talking about the dreams that we shared. Whatever that was… it’s over. It is over, Carter. Heard the wonderful news. It’s amazing for you and Eric and our daughter. Congratulations. You know, thank you, it’s– w-we’re all… very happy the company’s back where it belongs. That how you feel, too, Brooke? Of course I’m happy. For Ridge especially. It’s been an unfortunate time, but it’s over, and now we can all move forward. And you’re moving forward by making your last… desperate appeal to Ridge? That is what I walked in on, right? Well, uh, Ridge and I— we have said things to each other that we didn’t necessarily mean. Maybe, but… doesn’t change anything. Ridge and I have recommitted to each other… -in every way. -Oh, yeah. Ha. You love reminding me of that. Actually, I don’t really wanna think of you and Ridge together. Absolutely not. But I fought too long and too hard to give up on my relationship with Ridge, and I’m not about to now. My love for you will always be there… always be so strong. I believe you feel the same way. You can’t have both of us, Ridge. So what’s it gonna be? You’re gonna have to choose. Who do you wanna spend the rest of your life with? [emotional music plays]

1 [heavy music plays] Steffy, stop. That’s enough. I mean, what is going on? Ridge, you haven’t even been back a day, and you’re canceling Hope’s line? We’re focusing on collections that align with our values. Hope for the Future is about authenticity and it’s about doing good. The leadership isn’t. Your line’s been suspended, effective immediately. -You’re out. -Don’t worry. I’m not going to stick around for this anyway. Neither is Carter. Let’s go. We gave you another chance, Carter. Don’t waste it. You walk out now, you’re not coming back. [tense music plays] Do you think my family’s gonna push Hope out? They blame her for the takeover, turning Carter against you. He did tear up the LLC papers. The Forresters are back in control again. Relief for everyone, especially Carter. Yeah. He does feel bad about the coup, but… don’t tell anyone I said this. He was kinda holding his own there. I mean, the new collection– I mean, it’s fire! I know. He’s a good man and a good leader. He deserves much better than Hope. What? You said you wanted to change the subject. I didn’t wanna upset you. That’s impossible. Will, your dad was hiding a murderer in his house, got her pardoned. I have no idea what the hell he was thinking. Yeah. No kidding. Luna killed two people, and now she’s out there somewhere, totally free. Maybe we should talk about something more positive. Yeah. Well, hey, that’s easy. You gotta be thrilled about your family being back in the building. Eric, Ridge and Steffy–they’re in control of Forrester again. I hate what the takeover was doing to my family, but I hold nothing against Carter and Hope. They were nothing but kind to me and Ivy–and Zende too. It didn’t matter that you were Forresters. No. It wasn’t about that for them. Carter launched my Aunt Ivy’s jewelry line and Zende was the lead designer on Hope’s collection. You think Ridge and Steffy will see that too? It would be cool if everyone could find a way to work together again, but… I highly doubt that’s possible. Throughout everything, Carter hated disappointing your family. You were the one who got him to face that. -He’s open with me. -Part of your plan– to get close to him. Only…it’s gone beyond that. This connection– it isn’t an act. No. Ce n’est pas. The way you talk about Carter… Zende, my emotions surprised me. That’s the reason I wanted to go back to Paris. But I can’t. Because of Carter. Let’s go, Carter. They obviously don’t want us here. Carter’s welcome to stay. You’re not. -Steffy, don’t do this. -We all have to live with our decisions. I feel good about this one. Carter…we’re a team. Don’t let them drive us apart. I’m sorry. This is my livelihood. They’re my family. [soft, dramatic music plays] So you’re staying? I’m sorry. If this meant anything at all to you– You know how much I love you. This is just business. This is not …business. You’re right. Especially for the Forresters. I stole their company from them. I tricked them, and I need to stay and I need to make it right. Look, Steffy is angry right now. This could be an opportunity. For you. How in the world is this beneficial for me? You’re really staying?

Brooke: Honey. There’s been so much division. Drawing a line in the sand -is not going to help. -Oh my gosh, seriously? You too? I– All right. I guess there’s nothing… more to say…then. Aside from goodbye. Goodbye to you, Carter. Hope. [exhales] Hope, wait. Carter’s shown me the man he really is giving the company back to your family. [chuckles] Not what anyone was expecting. -It was only a matter of time. -Because he felt so guilty? Because of his goodness. And his integrity and love for your family. -Oh, hey. -Hi. -Sorry. Are we interrupting? -Not at all. Just dropping off some accessories. -Oh. Thank you. -Any news about the meeting? ELECTRA: Oh, you concerned about it? Let’s say I’m curious. Well, it’s a big day for your family, bro. Back on top. It is nice to have everyone back in the building. The way a family business should feel. -ZENDE: Mm-hmm. -All that tension was hard. Are you thinking that maybe this is gonna put an end to it? It depends. Nobody’s holding a grudge against Carter. He ended the takeover, brought the Forresters back in. Yeah, but the real question is can Hope and Steffy find a way to work together? [moody music plays] [door opens] We need to talk. There’s nothing more that needs to be said. You made your choice. I haven’t abandoned you. You chose their side, you and my mother. You let them force me out. You let Steffy get her revenge. No, I agreed to stay because it’s best for the company, to make sure things move forward, to make sure that everything we accomplished isn’t thrown away. Oh, “we”? No, no, no, no. This is about what you accomplished. My line is dead. Ridge and Eric, they gave me their word. I didn’t see that happening. Well, it did, and you just stood there. You didn’t even try to stand up for me. Not today, no. Steffy was outraged. But if I’m still there, I can advocate for you. Carter, stop. Hope. I already said my goodbye. There’s no reason for you to be here. Yes, there is. This doesn’t have to be the end of us. It doesn’t have to be over. That’s not what I want, and I am sure that’s not what you want either. Now, you’re hurting. You’re angry about your line. You’re angry with me, and you have every right. What Steffy did was unfair. But we can’t let it tear us apart. No, what we have is bigger than our jobs and that building. We made a commitment to each other. I thought we did. Our relationship started before the takeover. We inspired each other. We fell in love. That doesn’t go away because your line was canceled. Tell me you understand that. Have you heard anything about Hope for the Future? Not yet. This all just went down. There’s a lot to work out. I didn’t see any of this coming. The only one who did was Daphne. Carter told me about his misgivings, remorse he had. I knew he’d come around. Oh. Carter wouldn’t just give back the company if it meant getting rid of Hope. He might not have control over that. DAPHNE: I know Steffy. Can’t imagine she’ll allow Hope to return to Forrester. We couldn’t give Hope a chance to undermine us again. You didn’t give her any chance at all. You saw the way Hope reacted. She tried to get Carter to side with her immediately. I’m not defending how they betrayed you. It was wrong. But what you’re doing is wrong too. Give Hope time to process what’s happened. [huffs] Yeah. You just canceled her line. And she thought Carter would be there for her and support her and have her back. Ridge, can you and I talk alone, please? Sure. -Dad– -Listen… the three of us call the shots around here, right? We’re a team. -Come on. –

Steffy:  [softly] Okay. Please don’t ask me to overrule my daughter, because that’s how this whole mess started in the first place. I warned you that that would happen, and I warned you about the tension between our daughters. Hope’s gonna land on her feet. Yeah. I thought we would too. I’m glad to see you back here at Forrester, you and your family, running the company, where you should be, and that’s why I took the CEO job, to get the company back for you. -Mm. -I think there’s a bright future for Forrester, and I wanna be a part of it. But I am still hurt, the way you turned to Taylor, and so quickly. But I am willing to look past that. I just miss you. And I sense that you miss me too. You know I had to do it. I had to give the company back to the Forresters. No. No, you didn’t have to do it, Carter. Your plan was working–we were doing just fine on our own. But I wasn’t. The guilt was eating me alive. Right. Because you didn’t wanna betray your family, but you had no problem betraying me. Of course I had a problem with it! You didn’t fight for me! No one did. Not even my mom. You’re-you’re just staying at the company -while I get shut out. -Hope, you’re not alone. I am standing right here. You are only here to-to justify it, to make your conscience clear. You’re not here to fix it. Of course I’m here to fix it! I-I just– I…I can’t believe I got it so wrong. I was wrong about the kind of man you are. I can’t believe I believed in you. Hope, you can still believe in me. I thought you understood that this… this was a family business for me too. The Logans helped build Forrester Creations. My line belongs there. I…I belong there. I th– I thought we were a team. We are. We were. So why don’t you just… just forget it, Carter. Just forget any of this ever happened. [somber music plays] Feels right seeing you and Eric back in this office where you belong. Even Steffy. Although I don’t want to talk about Steffy. In fact, that’s a chapter that I’d like to put behind us, forever. I know the feeling. But I can’t forget. I feel the same way about you. -Brooke, listen, I’ve– -No, it’s true. I mean, I’m not ashamed to admit my feelings. I miss you. I do. Every time I lay my head down on that pillow, I think of you, see your face, hear your laughter, feel your touch. I think about all the times that we’ve shared together. And now here you are. Things are different. You’re back in your office where you belong, and… I was right about Carter, you know, his loyalty and his guilt, and I became CEO to get the company back for you. I did that for you, Ridge. And it really, really hurt– it did– it hurt me to see you just pull away and go straight to Taylor. And then all of the things that you said about my daughter. Look… It’s hard for me to move forward, but I want to, I do. I wanna forget about all the pain and all the mistrust. And I’m trying. I really am. I want us to move forward with our lives, you know? And I think that you want that too. So, you want a future together, hmm? I want you to come home. I wanna be your Logan again. I haven’t been with Forrester very long, but I’ve seen the damage Carter’s involvement with Hope has caused. He needs to follow his conscience and walk away from her for good. I’m not turning my back on you. Oh, so you’re going to leave the company then? -I am trying to explain to you– -[laughing] I just-I can’t– I can’t believe that you fell for their empty promises. I did what was right. What would have been right is discussing it with me first. Ridge and Eric, they came to me. I didn’t reach out to them! Oh, right! And you were so grateful to have another chance, and now you want another chance from me? [Carter exhales] What I want is for you to see how much you mean to me. The only thing I see in front of me… …is just another disappointment of a man. What about all of your broken promises? What happened to advocating for me, for my family, for my career, for my line? Remember that? Yeah, you just… folded like a house of cards. So, um, yeah, I’m going to change my mind. Maybe you don’t have what it takes to lead a company. And you certainly don’t have what it takes to be with me. Because I stood up for you. I believed in you, I believed in your vision, I risked my career, I risked my reputation, and you stabbed me in the back! So go have fun with your brother Ridge and your chosen family and leave me alone. You’re hurting. And that’s why you’re saying these things. [sniffling] But I won’t let you push me away. Hope, what we have… it’s special. It’s worth fighting for. And I won’t let it be the end of us–I won’t. I won’t.

Brooke: This feels so right, having you back in the building. I’m not back. You should be. You and Eric should be here at Forrester. This is where you belong. Just like you belong at home with me. In our home. Not with Taylor. Text from your dad? No, but the way he left, I’m really wondering

if he ended up at Forrester.

[phone chimes] It’s possible.

What is it?

Oh, it’s… It’s Finn. He’s-he’s just working another double. I was really hoping he was gonna come home tonight. We haven’t really connected since our anniversary. We’ve kind of been like ships in the night right now. Mmm. Price to pay for marrying such a dedicated doctor. Oh, you mean all that care and dependability has a downside? Gee. Well, the upside is he never lets you down. No. He doesn’t. Well, I have two patients waiting on scans. [huffs] Yeah, I know you’re backed up. I’m swamped too. Okay. Well, just let me know. Thanks. My daughter? Did you know Ridge was gonna be here today? No! Quelle surprise! This is the first time he’s back in the office since he and Steffy lost control of the company. What’s he after? You…you have to know, though, that… Ridge didn’t come over here just to patch things up with you. He didn’t hold back. That’s for sure. Okay. So nothing’s changed. Not yet, but… I don’t know–for the first time, I feel like it could. Why? He was my best friend, Hope. And after seeing him, I don’t know, I’m wondering that maybe we’ve proven our point. Maybe it’s time to mend fences. [heavy music plays] What did Ridge say to you to make you question our work? Nothing. Well, can’t you at least let yourself take some pride in today’s accomplishment, with-with what we did with the jewelry line? I’m trying. I’m trying. It was a huge moment, but instead of celebrating, I feel like a traitor, like an imposter, Hope. Listen to me! They are purposefully planting seeds of doubt because they see that your plan is working. [whispering] Carter, you know yourself. You know that you are a good man. And you have nothing to be ashamed of, you hear me? Nothing. The last thing I was expecting today was seeing Uncle Ridge back at Forrester. Well, you don’t think he is, though–back? I mean, I doubt it. He, Steffy, and my grandfather were adamant that they wouldn’t work here under Hope and Carter after what they did. It was shocking to see Ridge. But it’s even more surprising to see him here with Brooke! I don’t think Steffy and Taylor would be thrilled about that. I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. I’m so proud of the life you’ve built with your beautiful family, the way you’ve handled this whole ordeal with the company, taking care of everyone, especially your father and grandfather. Well, I am my mother’s daughter. I see your namesake in you too. Stephanie would have fought this takeover just as hard as you have. Well, Hope definitely brings it out of me. She’s gone full Logan, just like Brooke. Please, Ridge, I know we can work through this. And how do we do this when you’re here with Hope and Carter? [scoffs] I don’t care about the CEO job. I’ll give it up. I just care about you. I want you back. HOPE: [whispers] Carter. You can’t let Ridge just… make you feel even more guilty than you already feel. I’m not letting him do anything, Hope. I already feel guilty. You know that. Taking over this company wasn’t an easy decision. For either of us. No, it wasn’t. But I still believe it was the right decision. So what now, we’re just– we’re going to overlook the way Steffy and Ridge have mistreated us? You did what you had to do in order to level the playing field. And I did it by tricking them out of their own company. You did it to save the company from their arrogant leadership, and now look. Forrester is flourishing. And they can see that. And instead of coming to you and apologizing and saying that maybe you were right, they want you to feel bad about it. Don’t let them. We worked so hard for this. And to just…allow them to– to come back and have a say when it was their toxicity that led to this division to begin with– I’m sorry, but no! We need designers. We have some designers. I’m sure we can find some more. And if Ridge really wants to come back and design, you have told him that he is welcome to. But as an employee. Because I am telling you right now that I will not answer to him. I will not answer to him or to Steffy. Never again.

Finn: I’ll never let you down again. I love you. Hey… -it’s you and me, Finn. -[chuckles] We can’t lose sight of that. And we can never let anything or anyone come between us again. Look, we’re really lucky to have so much love and support. Knowing that I have Finn by my side, I feel like I can face anything. Even taking orders from Hope temporarily.

[phone rings]

Mm. It’s Daphne. Bonjour. Steffy… you’re on speaker. Uh, I’m at Forrester with Zende. We just saw your dad. Dad’s at Forrester? Oui. And he’s still here. And I hate to tell you– he was behind closed doors with Brooke. Brooke’s there? Yeah. I wish I could tell you more, but I don’t know what they’re discussing. I just thought you and Taylor would wanna know.

Steffy:  I really appreciate that. Keep in touch. Ridge is with Brooke? [edgy music plays]

Ridge: Come on. You don’t want me. More than anything. You know what I want more than anything? Try to control your daughter. [sighs] God, please don’t make this about Hope. It’s always been about Hope. I just didn’t realize that until just now. Even when Thomas fell for her, you knew that she was never gonna commit to him. So you’re bringing Thomas into this. My son Thomas? Yeah! He moved half a world away because he wanted to get away from your daughter. I haven’t seen him, I haven’t seen my grandson in I don’t know how long. And Steffy, she’s walking around here trying to find something to do. My dad is sitting on his couch at home, wondering what happened to the company he created! All because of your daughter. Because she wanted something. And she used my friend, my best friend, to get it. And that is unforgiveable. [dramatic chords] We haven’t been running things that long, but things are already better than they used to be. I mean, it’s our time now. When I was in law school, I couldn’t wait to be a litigator. I wanted to get to court, and I wanted to win. But I had a professor, and she said that winning isn’t enough. It’s how you do it that matters. Everything rests on integrity and honesty. It’s what separates the good from the bad. That’s what she said. Now, it wasn’t our intentions to betray anyone. We didn’t do this for payback or revenge. We had the most positive, genuine motives… but it came at a cost. [whispers] Yes. Okay, fine. Right. Ridge is angry. He’s upset. And we knew he would be. But why does his dignity get to matter more than ours? I mean, where’s the care when he just stands by and lets his daughter destroy my relationships and call me names like slut. I understand that this has impacted your friendship with Ridge and my mother’s relationship with him as well, but I am not going to continue to bend over backwards to appease a man who is incapable of taking accountability for his own actions. I refuse. This company is in the right hands. Your hands. And if Ridge comes back, it is going to be on our terms, not his. Look, Mom, I-I know that you’re upset right now, but of course Brooke was gonna corner Dad the moment he stepped inside the building. Any chance that she can get to work on him, she’ll take it. But you know that’s not why he went there, right? Your father’s been very open about how much their estrangement hurts him. Mom, you don’t have to worry about that. Honey, I’m not. I mean it. I’ve wasted years of my life bothered by her, letting Brooke chip away at my peace of mind. If your father wanted to be with her, he wouldn’t be living here with me. Yeah, you’re right. I’m just sorry she’s not letting Ridge move on with his life. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if right now she’s begging him to come back to her. Hope’s not using Carter. They’re in love. They’re in love. Does she love him the way she loved Thomas or the way she loved Finn? She’s made some mistakes. But you’re saying she’s not accountable for any of them. She just wanted to be respected

and supported.

Oh, I see. And Carter’s the first guy that ever did that for her. Okay, but that doesn’t mean she gets to take someone’s dignity away, someone’s life’s work away. I talked to Carter about it. He gets it. He knows this is wrong. And I think behind all this, you know it’s wrong. The only person that doesn’t know it’s wrong

is your daughter.

You know what’s wrong? You and Eric aren’t here running this business. And you and I are not together, and we should be. [sighs] I mean, this is crazy. It is crazy. Okay. Well, then, let’s do something about it. Why don’t we…fix it. Why don’t we do something to lead the way? We’re not–no. I’m not lead– You need to lead the way.

It’s you.

Then you need to listen to me. I don’t need to listen. Carter doesn’t need to listen because he gets it– he’s showing some remorse. The person that needs to listen is your daughter. She needs to know that it’s wrong to steal from people, and it has to stop. Ridge isn’t happy that we’re doing well. Your so-called friend wants us to fail, and he’s livid because he knows that we aren’t going to. So don’t just willingly give your power back to people

that have treated us like dirt!

Well, that’s over. They will never treat you that way again. You cannot promise that, Carter! You can’t! It is such an insult to hear them say that they think that I’m using you and putting ideas in your head because that means that they think that you can’t think for yourself, that you can’t stand up for yourself or anyone else or question their authority! I mean… They don’t know you like that. They don’t know me like that, and they are wrong about us. They don’t know what we’re capable of, and Forrester Creations is ours now. [uneasy music plays] [exhales] You deserve the truth. I have to believe that somehow we’ll get through this. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll tell you that… Luna’s my daughter.

Steffy:  I’m really proud of the way you’re handling this. Yeah, well, I’m just, uh, seeing things differently now. My relationship with your father, what we mean to each other. Even Brooke.

Brooke?

Yeah. I mean, for years, she was a dark cloud hanging over my life, a constant reminder of the things I wanted to forget. But she’s just a person. I can even admit that she has some good qualities. Wow. Okay. Well, a lot of faults as well. [chuckling] Ridge has seen them all. Ah, I used to wonder about that. If he could see them. If he was blind to them. But your father has grown so much, and so have I. Not only do I trust him, but I trust myself and what I see in his eyes. His love and commitment for me are real. Oh, Mom, I’m so happy for you and Dad. I really am. [soft music plays] You know I don’t like saying any of these things to you. Because deep down you know it’s not true. Oh, it’s true. Of course it’s true. Your daughter’s the source for this whole problem. Logan, we made Hope. She’s a big star all over the world because of Forrester, but she wanted more. She always wants more. And she wanted revenge. And with you– with you supporting her, she’s gonna terrorize everybody in this building. Ridge, Hope wasn’t terrorizing anybody! She worked hard for her position. And she was under constant threat by Steffy, over and over again! Steffy canceled her line. She fired her.

That’s no excuse.

Okay. Whatever. This is ridiculous! We can’t keep arguing over our children’s issues. I know you’re frustrated. I’m frustrated too. But you know how you handled it? You… you turned to another woman. I didn’t do that. I didn’t turn to anybody. Because the man that I’m meant to be with… is standing right here. Right here in front of me. [emotional music plays]

[soft music plays] I missed you. Well, let’s help you with that hand, right? Stop the bleeding before it gets worse. Here. You know I had to do this, right? No, I don’t know that. Then know I didn’t want it to affect our friendship. Ridge. What are you doing here? I’m extending congratulations. Right. Is everything good? Silk? Hey! Oh, I’m glad you’re here. I wanted to go over a few things–are you busy? Oh, yeah. Hmm. I’m trying to be. Not really getting much done. Well, can I help? I mean, not that you need it. Honey, what’s wrong? I just feel like a fish out of water. Oh, come on! You’ve got this. You were in this position years ago. I know–it’s just different. It’s really different. Well, I understand it’s a balancing act. I mean, you’re trying to be CEO and at the same time you’re trying to get the company back into the hands of Eric, Ridge, and Steffy. I mean, that’s not an easy feat. And not letting on to anyone in the process. Don’t get me wrong. I’m really happy for Forrester after today’s launch and Ivy and Electra. But… But it’s really weighing on you… taking the CEO position. Isn’t it, sis? Brooke’s energy today is way off. I wouldn’t read too much into her vibe, Zende. Brooke only cares about herself and anyone with the last name Logan. Okay, just to play devil’s advocate, let’s just say Brooke is discovering her conscience. And it would be a good thing, no? Yeah, good. But highly unlikely. But what if she is? Then she should convince Hope that the takeover was wrong. Don’t hold your breath. And what would be the point anyway? Hope has her claws so deep in this takeover, she’s never, ever gonna let go. Hope has everything she’s ever wanted– clout, money, control, a powerful man under her spell. She’s not gonna give up without a fight, and Brooke is not gonna turn her back on her daughter. No. But maybe she can appeal to Hope’s sense of virtue and decency.

Mom. This is Hope we’re talking about–she’s a traitor. She used Carter to seize control of Forrester and put it in the hands of the Logans. Like, I love your optimism, I really do, but I know Brooke is jumping for joy right now, just like Hope. ZENDE: You’d be surprised. I think Brooke is more bothered than any of us realize. I can’t imagine the stress you’re feeling, having to keep your true intentions from Hope and Carter. It’s your first big launch as CEO. I mean, that had to feel good on some level, right? Yeah. I am proud of all the hard work that you and everybody have put into the launch, especially Ivy and Electra. I mean, their designs were beautiful. Oh. It was so cute to see Will. He was so excited for Electra. I mean, her success, the start of her career. I just wish that she had enjoyed it more. She was pretty subdued. Well, to be honest, everyone was. Except for Hope. I mean, she was ready to celebrate. It’s just…the way that Ridge’s position was taken from him. He deserves to be here. He should be leading the company. And Ridge and I should be together. [somber music plays] What happened here? It’s-it’s nothing, just, um, broken glass.

Why are you here?

Why am I here? In my old office? To look at my stuff. Couch, my rug, my desk– all that stuff belonged to me, my dad, my daughter… before you got into my best friend’s head and had him steal the company for you. [edgy music plays] Hope needs allies, people supporting her new regime. Well, she has Carter and Brooke. Carter, yes. Brooke, though… You really think Brooke is feeling the weight

of this takeover.

I have no doubt. Ha. Yeah. Because Dad dumped her. [laughs] I think it’s a little bit more than that, Steffy. Well, how could she not feel guilty if she cares about Eric and Ridge as much as she claims? Well, Dad’s supposed to be her destiny, her one and only. Instead, she sides against him and goes along with her daughter’s seditious coup. And is awarded with a promotion to CEO. If people only knew how crazy things were behind the scenes… morale could not be lower. Well, we’ll rev it back up once we get control back. And I’ll do anything I can to help. I just hate seeing your family going through this. Yeah, me too. All’s not lost. Silver lining in all of this– you and Dad are back together. Brooke finally showed her true colors, and she’s no longer in Dad’s life. I know you hate that Ridge isn’t here. I mean, I-I feel the same way. It’s just not the same without him. We’ve launched countless lines through the years, and he’s been here for every single one of them except this one. Well, it took a team to make this all happen. Ridge was a part of that. Yes, until he was forced out by Hope and Carter. [sighs] I mean, you are right. I-it is different. I mean, normally, it would be a big celebration. There would be champagne flowing and speeches. But the room was almost silent. I mean, even Carter seemed very reserved. I’m sure he was relieved that it did so well. Yeah, I mean, Hope was definitely ready to party, but no one else was. Aside from maybe my son. I mean, he was pretty pumped, but what else is new? He was happy for his girlfriend.

Mm-hmm.

And she and Ivy should be thrilled.

Well, they are Forresters, so I’m sure they feel caught in the middle. I mean, that’s understandable. But my gut tells me that this takeover is troubling Carter as much as it is you. I mean, I know you’re worried about Ridge, but… what’s going on with Carter? CARTER: Hope didn’t get in my head. I’m not brainwashed. Carter can think for himself. Why did you come here, Ridge, to pick a fight? Because you should know that Carter still has love for you. He’s got a strange way of showing it. So do you. This has been incredibly difficult for him. And whether your ego will allow you to admit it or not, I know this has been hard for you as well. In spite of what you may believe, we actually never wanted you to leave.

Okay.

CARTER: It’s true. I didn’t want to do any of this without you. Yes. So you and Eric are welcome to return at any time, just like Steffy did. Only you should know that the, uh, power structure will remain intact. Oh. So I would answer to you. [tense music plays] I know Carter as well as anybody– at least I thought I did.

He is hard to read these days.

Yeah, he is. I mean, I just never thought that he would be into this power grab. And the jewelry drop–I mean, that’s a turning point for the company. I would think that he would be more fired up. It’s a huge moment in his career. Yeah. I think it was. But [sighs] this dream of expanding Forrester and the changing of the guard, if that’s what you wanna call it– I mean, Carter’s the one who put this all in motion. With Hope’s help. Whoa! Okay. That’s-that’s new, you saying that. [huffs] Well, she did play a part in it. Well, you’ve been so adamant about her not having any influence over Carter. I mean, are-are you now agreeing with Ridge and Steffy that Hope manipulated him into snagging power for the Logans? She’s not vindictive or calculating. No. Of course not. She thought she was doing what was best–she really did. But you still wish that none of this had taken place. It’s just caused a lot of strain and division. And I understand where Hope and Carter were coming from–I do. It’s just… Ridge didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve to have his company taken away from him. Zende promised he and Daphne would check in if anything crazy’s happening at the office.

Like some wild partying?

You heard Zende. The only one who’s celebrating is Hope. That’s just…sad. Clearly, your father’s passion and leadership is sorely missed. I wonder where Dad went. Have you spoken to him? I haven’t. Not since he left. Where could he have gone? Do you think he went to Forrester? Forrester Creations. Our name is all over this building. No one is saying otherwise. So you gotta understand that this is all gonna blow up in your face eventually, right? You say you love this man. Does he…look loved to you? He looks like the guilt is just eating him up from the inside. Because he betrayed his family. Wow. You’re one to talk. Betrayal? Really? When you’ve used and abused my mother for years. It’s like clockwork with you. The minute your ego is bruised, you run straight to Taylor. When someone does something you disagree with,

you throw your little tantrum.

Ridge: Disagree with? Like stealing my company from me? Yeah. I don’t agree with that. And I don’t agree with your mother’s part in this. You know, you should be thanking us, because Forrester Creations became a toxic workplace thanks to you and your daughter.

Oh, we did that?

Yes, you. The man who called me a bitch. The man whose daughter throws around the word slut when we all know her past. So, yes, my mother and I are through with being your scapegoat. You got it all fixed? It’s all working, yeah?

It’s all fine?

Well I’d say the jewelry launch

went exceptionally well.

The jewelry launch had nothing to do with you. You’re running my family’s business. HOPE: Oh, right, there it is. Your family’s business. You love to lord that over us, don’t you? Have you forgotten that we were once a part of that family? I once called you…father. You were married to my mother. How do you think that makes her feel, to have you constantly ignore her contributions when she helped you build this company alongside Stephanie and Eric? Her contributions were never ignored. Does she know that? Do you think she feels valued by you? Or has she just been run down, her self-esteem stolen because you’re too insecure of a man to stand by a powerful woman? You know, I have to thank you, really, for running to Taylor so quickly because it’s going to show my mom who you truly are. So, yes, Forrester Creations has entered a new era, one of fairness and equality, and it is being run by this very capable, talented, kind man. Carter Walton and his first launch was a smashing success, and I know that the fragrance line will be the same. This is the future of Forrester Creations, Ridge. And nothing and no one– not even you– is going to stop it. You don’t wear the crown at all, do you? Ill-gotten gains. [heavy music plays] [mellow instrumentals] You know, your father said that he wanted to clear his head and have some time alone. I’m not sure he’d feel so inclined to go rushing over to Forrester. He hasn’t set foot in the building since the pity-party rebellion. [sighs] He wants to be there so badly, Steffy. He misses the energy, his office. As it stands right now, he would hate going back. It is the Hope and Carter show, and they make sure no one forgets it, Mom. Like, I literally feel ill every time I drive on the property. Mm. Be over soon, sweetheart. Oh, I know. Even if I die trying. I’m not gonna let this continue. Whether the lawyers figure out some kind of technicality, Daphne works her magic, or Carter finally realizes he’s being duped by Hope, I’m not gonna let this continue–I can’t. I have to believe that ultimately Carter will listen to his inner voice. Mom, I am praying you’re right. Well, not just for the company’s sake. Ridge has really felt the loss of that friendship. [sighs] You know he hasn’t seen him since he walked out. Maybe it’s time. Maybe your father can get through to Carter. [softly] Hey. You okay? [exhales] [whispering] We can’t let them ruin what we have. [somber music plays] Ridge.

What are you doing here?

I can’t walk around my own company? What, you gonna have me arrested? What? Just come talk to me. Was that Ridge with Brooke? It’s nice to see you, Ridge. Forrester isn’t the same without you and Eric around here. Well, we’d still be here if it weren’t for your daughter. I understand your frustration. I don’t think you do. Yeah, I do. I mean, this has been hard on me too. The only reason I took the CEO position was to get through to Carter. And I believe that’s what’s happening. Nobody knows that. I’m just trying to keep up the façade around here. But, of course, if you wanna step in and take the position, I would gladly step down. Would you? Yes, I would. [laughs] You think I’m power hungry, I want to cling on to the job? No. No. I just wanna maintain some normalcy around here. Nothing normal about any of this. Well, that’s right. That’s true. There is nothing normal about this. [sighs] Forrester may have changed, but I haven’t. I’m still the same person that you fell in love with, that you supported and that you believed in all these years. I’m still your Logan. I’m just asking you to come home. Just come back to me.

[stirring music plays] Honestly, I was worried. I was worried this day would never come. I thought our friendship was too damaged to ever be repaired again. But after what you just did, what you did today, I’m… I’m so grateful to have my friend back. I mean, I…still believe in Carter and me. I’m not going to let one kiss derail what we have. What in the world possessed Daphne to do such a thing? Well, she’s used to getting what she wants. Although, she did say that it was wrong. And you don’t believe her, do you? Of course not. She’s trying to sabotage my relationship behind my back. What I wanna know…is why. What’s made her so bold as to do what she did? Well, well, well. You really do have feelings for Carter. [sighs] I wasn’t expecting it. I was so caught off guard, I almost left, returned to Paris. What made you stay? [small laugh] My run-in with Hope. Answer me, Mom. I deserve the truth. Have you known all these years that Finn was my father? Just say it! Say that Bill and Tom Starr were just cover-ups and that’s why you went to that music festival and slept with them, so you could have more men to point to. Anyone other than Finn– your nephew. I never took a paternity test. You didn’t have to. You had your own suspicions, your instincts. Yes! But I couldn’t do that to Finn or my sister. I couldn’t hurt them that way! [dramatic music plays] You checking out hot guys on the phone again? Oh, don’t you know it. Take a look. -Aw. -Isn’t Hayes the most beautiful little boy you have ever seen? I really miss my grandson. So every time I asked if you knew who my father was, you knew…but you lied. Well, I hoped it was Bill. One thing we had in common. There was a small chance that he was. Oh, please. You just said it! You said that you felt all along that it was Finn! -Okay, yes, but– -You were scared, Mom. You were scared to face the truth. You were scared to face Aunt Li and Finn, so you ran away. Mm-mm. I wanted to be a single mother, okay? A woman can’t raise a child on her own? Don’t give me that. You weren’t thinking of anyone else but yourself, anything to avoid the scandal of sleeping with your nephew! I have made mistakes. I have regrets. But what you’ve done? Ha! I can’t believe that you’re not behind bars. Hold on. Did Bill somehow fall for your sick advances from before? Is that what’s been going on here, -that the two of you have been– -No! No. It is not like that between Bill and me. -Really. -Bill got me out of prison because he was worried about me. Mom, I was being targeted in there. I was gonna die in that hellhole, and I’m always gonna be grateful to him for that. And if you must know, there is a Spencer that I’d like to be with–Will. I know it’s a long shot. I’m a total outcast here now. I don’t even live here. I-I just came here to pick up some of my things. Bill kicked me out yesterday. Not that I blame him, but… Because you’d rather blame me for everything. Things would be so different if you’d just told me the truth! We wouldn’t have hurt each other like this. But you are still my mom, and I am still your daughter. What are you asking? Do you think that you and I can have a fresh start? It looks like I might be interrupting. -I’ll just go upstairs. -No, no, no, no, it’s fine. Daphne and I were just, um, catching up. I was just telling Steffy I’d contemplated returning to Paris. But you’re not. You’re staying put in Los Angeles, right? Yes. For the time being, I’m here. That’s great. I’m glad to hear that. Steffy’s really enjoyed having you here and your…amazing scents. So what changed your mind about going? Hope did… the moment she demanded I leave Los Angeles and never come near Carter again. [light music plays] Never occurred to me that Daphne would make a play for Carter, but maybe that was naive of me. Considering what an attractive man Carter is… [Hope laughs] Mom, I have to be honest. I… I’m really trying to take the high road here, give Carter the benefit of the doubt. I mean, I want to believe in him, in us, in his feelings for me and the future that we are building together. [sighs] I just–I don’t… I don’t think that he would let me down. Carter, look, we can see– we realize this has been pretty hard on you. But you did the right thing. Thank you. You know, there were days where I… wondered how I let myself go down this road and why I didn’t hit the brakes sooner. But then I take a look around and I see what we accomplished here– You thought you were doing what was right. It was worth it in a lot of ways. But it was wrong. I stand by what I said before. This is because of Hope. She led you astray. She used you. And I imagine she’s gonna be pretty upset when she finds out what you did here today. [tense music plays] So that’s why Hope tried to send you away–the kiss. She insisted Carter make me leave for Paris immediately. How’d he respond? He defended me. Said we shouldn’t ruin a successful collaboration because of it. I’m sure Hope wasn’t happy about that. Carter’s a good man. He feels really guilty about the takeover. A takeover incited by Hope. I love Carter, and… I know he loves me and our life together and plus, I mean, we have control of the company. And I know how important that is to you, sweetheart. But it isn’t a secret… Forrester Creations without Ridge and Eric, just… feels terribly wrong. [sighs] I know what this will do to Hope, how upset she’ll be when I tell her I gave you back control of the company. And I know how you feel about her, Ridge, but she’s been good to me. But I couldn’t go on like this. Success means nothing if you alienate the people that mean everything to you. You know, hearing you say that… and seeing what you did today… …that’s the man I missed. Come here. [exhales] You want us to have a fresh start? Yes. That wasn’t me, Mom. All those terrible things I did? That’s not who I am. I swear. And you want to live a good, decent life? Absolutely. And you want a guy like Will Spencer. -I mean… -[both chuckle] He’s gorgeous, Mom. He’s smart, funny. Total package. But more than anything… I want my mom back. Tell me you want that too. Never. That will never happen. The souls of Tom and Hollis will haunt you forever, and you have brought unimaginable shame to the family–taking the lives of two innocent men, framing me for your crimes, the idea that you’ve been pardoned? So you’d rather me just rot in prison forever? The daughter you robbed of her father? How dare you make me feel guilty about Finn! You are a double murderer, and you are not my daughter, ’cause you are evil! Evil! Don’t…you touch me! [off-key music plays] Look, this is just–it’s really hard for me, babe, I– I miss my grandchild, I– the-the connection. I know. Look, I don’t want this to sound like some cliché… greeting card, but you gotta stay strong. You gotta… you gotta just have hope. Don’t you ever touch me! Not after what you’ve done. What I’ve done? You deprived me of my own father to save yourself! All right, enough. Enough! I have had it up to here with your sob story. Oh, your screwed-up childhood. Blah, blah, blah. -It wasn’t even bad. -Like hell it wasn’t. And I am sick of you using that as an excuse to try and justify taking the lives of two innocent men, kidnapping the woman that you now know is your father’s wife. Steffy hates you and Finn won’t have anything to do with you. I don’t want anything to do with you. Do you know how much that kills me to say that to my one and only daughter? But it’s true! Shut it! I don’t wanna hear it. So go. Get outta town. ‘Cause you have burned every bridge. Your family has turned their back on you and everyone despises you, as they should. And you are not coming home to me or to Finn. I mean it! And if this is the last time that I see you, then so be it! Because you are no longer my responsibility and I am washing my hands of you once and for all. I didn’t turn you into what you’ve become. You chose the hell that you have created for yourself, and now there is no one on earth who will accept you. No one. Maybe there is, Mom. Maybe there is. I’ve seen a real change in Carter. But is it enough to get him to reverse course? Dad thinks it might be. He and Granddad -are at Forrester’s right– -[door closes] Actually, we’re back. With some pretty important news. -Did you meet with Carter? -We did. -And? -Don’t keep us in suspense. Is Forrester Creation… What, back in our hands? -The company’s ours again. -STEFFY: Oh! -Oh, my God! -[Eric chuckles] [door opens] What’s all this? I know a lot has happened recently, but I… I just wanted to do something nice, give us a chance to talk. Because I still believe in you, Carter. I still believe in us. [Donna giggling] What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in prison. You killed two of our employees, Deacon’s friend and mine. I’m calling the police! -Please don’t. I can explain. -Oh, what? How you got out, how you’re here? I’m not interested! I didn’t get out. I-I’ve been pardoned. Pardoned. Oh, my God, what do I look like to you? Who in their right mind would pardon a homicidal maniac like you? Hear me out. Hear me out, please? Everyone’s turned their back on me– my family, my friends. I’m all alone. I have no one to turn to. But I’m hoping that there’s someone, one person that can understand me and accept me. Who in their right mind would ever understand or accept you after the heinous things that you’ve done? You, Sheila. You. [heavy music plays] Wait–you convinced Carter to tear up the LLC papers? Yeah. Here. See for yourself. -Oh, my God, Ridge… -Oh, my… -[Eric laughs] -When Eric said you had -important news… -This is the best news ever! It is, and a long time coming. You know, -the important thing is– -TAYLOR: The important thing is is that Forrester Creations is back where it belongs with you, Ridge, and Steffy. -[sighs] Ahh. -TAYLOR: So what happened? What did you say to Carter to get him to come around? Didn’t take much. I just needed to… Like a little nudge from his best friend? You know, Carter hated this estrangement as much as I did. Possibly more. The guilt has been weighing on him heavily. -But now… -Now things are just the way they should be–the company that Stephanie and I founded so many years ago is back in our hands. The Forresters are in charge. -Oh, my gosh! -ERIC: Isn’t it great? -Ahh. -We did it. [whispers] Wow. We, uh, haven’t had a lot of time, just the two of us lately, what with everything going on at work, and… this is a gesture to say that I would like to change that. I mean, I’m still… hurt by Daphne kissing you and the fact that you did not tell her to go back to Paris. But, as you pointed out… …we all make mistakes, and I want this to work. I just–it means so much to me, you, our relationship, everything we’re building at the company. And at the end of the day, I-I really believe that we can make it through anything. Why are you so quiet? What’s going on? Did something happen at the office? Hope, uh… I always wanna be honest with you… and there’s something I need to tell you. Ridge and Eric came by the office today. Okay. So what did they want? What they’ve wanted since the whole thing started– control of the company again. Well, of course they would want that when it’s seen so much success. I mean, it’s all thanks to you. You’ve transformed the company, what with the fragrance line, the jewelry line, reinstating Hope for the Future. We are being celebrated worldwide, and that… is thanks to you taking over the LLC, and luckily, I don’t see that changing anytime soon, so… Right, Carter? We still control Forrester Creations, right? Tell me I’m right, Carter. [intense percussive music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

[quiet instrumentals] Mom? Honey. I didn’t hear you come in. I got, uh, held up in the carpool line at school. Well, you didn’t have to rush back. Well, you said you wanted to talk, so I’m here. It’s just so peaceful down here. Yeah, uh… what’s going on? Just been thinking. Is this about Ridge? And what’s happened to our life together. RIDGE: What? No, that’s what I’m asking you. How does someone get pardoned when they killed two people? Please, let me know. So this is true– -Luna’s a free woman? -All because of Spencer. -You got confirmation. -No! Confirmation for what? -I-it had to be him! -Who else? Or who would want to? Well, it’s not gonna stand, Granddad. I’m not gonna stop fighting until Luna’s back in prison. But we can’t focus on that right now. We need to focus on Forrester Creations. Today’s the day we’re gonna get the company out of Carter’s hands. [lightly edgy music plays] CARTER: When I thought of the moment of my ideas taking this company to the next level, of making an impact here, I never thought I’d be doing it without you. I miss our friendship, Ridge. I miss my brother. [door clicks shut] You miss him… your best friend, no? [somber music plays] I don’t have an official address yet. I-I no longer live here. I just came back to pick up a few things this morning. That’s all right. You can update us within 30 days. [softly] Okay. Your, uh, personal belongings from intake. -That’s it? -On my end. Stay out of trouble. So it’s true. You’re really out of prison. Mom, what are you doing here? So this is where you’ve been the entire time… under house arrest? You couldn’t let me know? Like you let me know about my father? Yeah. You’ve been lying to me my entire life. Tom Starr isn’t my dad. It’s Finn. Finn’s my dad. [tense music plays] You deprived me of a father, and he’s a good, wonderful man. Finn would have loved me. Honey, you have to understand that at that time, it– You told me it was just us, Mom. That we were better off alone. That-that Nozawa power BS– that was all fake. You betrayed your own sister, Finn, and me. Your lies ruined my life. You can admit how much this hurts. I’m trying to focus on work, Daphne. Yeah. But every triumph leaves a bruise. Ill-gotten gains encouraged by Hope. I know you think you’re in love, darling, but she’s been using you. You don’t believe me. When you finally give the company back to the Forresters, remember what I told you about Hope. I imagine the entire family must be in shock. I mean, first they learn that Finn is Luna’s dad and that she has been pardoned for her crimes. What did Ridge have to say? I reached out to him, and he hasn’t gotten back to me. And I just hate not… being connected to him. You know, I don’t know what’s going on in his life. Carter has been running this LLC successfully. But without couture. And without couture, there is no Forrester Creations. But you and Dad– you two can’t be replaced. -And Carter knows that. -All right. I think we’ve waited long enough– Justin doesn’t have any answers. You think you can trust Carter’s conscience? I think we can. We give him a way out, he’s gonna take it. [sighs] He never took it before. Because of Hope. She held him back. Well, Daphne’s taking care of that. She’s been extremely instrumental, helping Carter see where he went wrong and what he needs to do to make things right. Good. My friend is in there, fast asleep, and we gotta wake him up before it’s too late. Everything that I have ever done has always been for you, Luna. [laughs] I don’t believe that. I wasn’t going to saddle you with just any father. You deserved better than any of the guys that I met. Oh! Okay, so that’s why you never got serious with any of the men in your life, because you cared so much about me. Did you ever believe that Bill could be my father? I hoped that he was. And I really wanted him to be. But deep down, you knew it was Finn. Didn’t you, Mom? I can’t believe this. -Daphne kissed Carter? -Mm-hmm. I saw it with my own eyes. But she knows he’s with you. Well, she would like to change that. What? She thinks that I don’t listen to him. That I pushed him into taking over the company, that I’m using him to save my line. She said that? It’s pretty clear to me that Steffy got in her head somehow, and it just… it hurts. She’s someone that I really looked up to in this industry. She’s someone that I admired, that I had such respect for, and she wanted to work with us, help us. And instead… she betrays me. -Muah. Bonjour, my friend. -Bonjour! I’m so glad -we were able to do this. -Yeah. I thought we should talk in private. Of course. You want an update. You wanna know how things are going with Carter? Um, actually, I have an update for you. Dis-moi tout. Well, I think our plan has moved a lot faster. It’s-it’s even better. And obviously, I knew that you weren’t gonna have any trouble getting Carter’s attention, driving a wedge between him and Hope, but you did something else. You woke up his conscience. [chuckles] I merely, merely reminded him what he already knew–betraying your family was a mistake encouraged by Hope. You know you’re way better than her, right? We all are, especially Carter. You know, he’s a really good man, Steffy, with a good heart. You developed real feelings for him, haven’t you? I think so. Despite my intentions, I really care about him. But I know how badly he hurt your family. Well, I do put most of the blame on Hope. I haven’t written off Carter entirely, and neither have my father and my grandfather. They’re actually at the office right now. They’ve giving Carter one last chance to give us back the company. DAPHNE: 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 principles. [footsteps] Ridge. Eric. Been a long time, Carter. I’m surprised to see you. You’ll be even more surprised when you find out why we’re here. This has been going on long enough. Dad and I, we’re… coming back to our company. [edgy music plays] Admit it. All this time, you knew. You knew Finn was my dad. He was right there, and your lies kept us apart. Luna, Finn has always been a part of your life. You grew up knowing him! I thought he was my cousin, Mom. But you knew he wasn’t. Didn’t you? Still nothing! That’s all I ever get from you, huh? How many times did I beg you for a name? How many times did I beg you to tell me anything about my dad? But you put me off. You hid Tom’s letters from me. You let me believe that maybe I could be a Spencer… all to keep me from learning the truth? It was right in front of me this whole time. And I see it now. When I look at Finn, I see my father looking back at me. How could you not see it too? Are Ridge and Eric giving Carter an ultimatum? -Thanks. -Uh, an olive branch. Another chance. Well, it’s time. My father’s starting to see cracks in Carter’s resolve. Yeah, well, Ridge isn’t wrong. Carter feels guilty. He has for a while. Well, Hope has always been able to counteract those feelings. To get what she wants. Carter’s beginning to see that. Do you think he can actually defy her this time? Je sais pas. But I do know that he misses your father’s friendship and Eric’s respect. He’s a decent man. Well, now he has a chance to prove how decent he really is. Yeah. But if I’m right, he will. All I hope is that he listens to his conscience and return the company to your family. I’m not going to put all the blame on Daphne. Carter let it happen. He’s drawn to her. Everyone is. I’m sorry, sweetheart. Your relationship seemed so strong. So where do things stand now between you and Carter? No one told me you were thinking about rejoining the company. We’ve been keeping a close eye on Forrester, Carter. Very impressive. -Steffy and Zende filled you in. -RIDGE: Mm-hmm. Okay, so… what is this? What are you getting at? We’re gonna give you one more chance. -One more chance? -We’re gonna give you one more chance to make things right, to give this company back to Dad, to Steffy, and to me. It kills me to think how different my life would be if I knew this growing up. My life would be so different. Tom and Hollis would still be alive, Steffy wouldn’t hate me. Oh. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. You took those men’s lives to protect yourself, not because you had some sort of… traumatic childhood? And what makes you think I was so desperate to protect myself, Mom? Because no one ever did. But Finn–Finn would have. [scoffs] You’re not answering me, Mom. Did you ever think that Tom Starr could be my father, or did you hide his letters because you knew he couldn’t be? Because you knew all along that Finn was my father. Say it! My entire life, you’ve been lying to me. Just give me the truth, Mom, for once in your life! The truth. [tense music plays] Carter will come through. Your family’s upset with him, but he’s not the enemy–Hope is. He did all that because he was enamored with her but now, not so much. Not after the kiss you and Carter shared. Mmm… [huffs] I still can’t get over it, that Daphne kissed Carter. It was a kiss. I’ve made similar mistakes in the past, but I am choosing to believe in our commitment. We love each other. And no one is going to change that. So you’re offering me a chance to take it all back. We’re offering you a chance to move forward… to get out of this, ’cause that’s what you want. How’d you know? ‘Cause I know you. We all know you. We’ve always known you until you got hooked up with Hope, saving her line… you lost your values and your integrity, and it’s taken a toll on you. We haven’t just been watching everything at Forrester. We’ve been keeping an eye on you too. I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been struggling. Well, some men will do whatever it takes to win. Thankfully, that’s not you. Well, I’m proud of what we accomplished here, Ridge. And I’m grateful you acknowledged that– the wisdom in my vision, the changes I’ve made here. Like I said, this is an opportunity for all of us. ERIC: The name on the building is Forrester. That’s also the name on every label on every item we make. This is our company. I need your word. Hope for the Future’s having a resurgence and must remain part of the lineup. [Ridge clears his throat] If Hope for the Future is on the upswing… we’d be foolish to drop it. I hate that it came to this. I hated taking the company from you, and the… the gains have been incredible, they have, but… …the victories have been hollow without you here. You’re right, Ridge. The old Carter’s still in there. You belong here, Carter. With us. Um… I-I don’t–I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I let this get out of hand. And I missed you both. We missed you too, brother. Where is it? There’s one more thing. This belongs to you. [stirring music plays] -BILL: Here’s a look ahead. -We’re still in charge. Your name is on those LLC papers, right? Forrester should have no involvement with Hope. Finn’s my father. That makes me your granddaughter. My granddaughter!

[gasping] Li, please– [wheezing] Please, I can’t br– I can’t breathe. You slept with Finn. My son! [Li grunts] STEFFY: What are you doing? Put those cuffs back on her. -CHIEF BAKER: Afraid I can’t. -STEFFY: [whispers] What? Luna is a free woman. What are you talking about? She killed two people! -Just gonna walk free–what? -TAYLOR: This doesn’t even make sense–I don’t understand. There’s nothing else you can do? She’s just–she’s free to go? Absolutely right. Luna Nozawa… you are officially pardoned. [intense music plays] I hope you had a wonderful time, and we look forward to seeing you again. All right. Mmm. [chuckles] -What was that for? -I don’t know. Just looked a little lonely over here… within yourself. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am. Still thinking about Poppy. You know, every time I see her, I can’t help but think of her daughter and what she did to Tom and Hollis. [Poppy gasping] Pl-please… [hoarsely] Li, you gotta let go. [mouthing] I can’t breathe. [softly] I can’t…breathe… -[Li groans] -I can’t…I can’t… -Oh! -[wheezing] -[coughing] -I knew -something was wrong with you. -[coughing, wheezing] I knew you were inclined to make the most deranged, selfish decisions! -[huffs] I never thought… -[coughs] …my son…your nephew… [hoarsely] I know how it looks but… [wheezing] but… there was nothing…sordid or dirty. [wheezing] Wh–how can you possibly say that? I’m disgusted… sickened by what you did to Finn. It’s tough, I know. We both miss…them so much, Tom and Hollis. I just–I can’t believe they’re gone. I mean, it’s just so damn unfair. Yeah. That’s because of Luna. If it weren’t for her, they’d both still be here. Wait, I’m really free, like not just on house arrest but… Being pardoned means you’re as free as anyone else in this room, relieved of the legal consequences. Wh-what? This is insane! You gotta do something! CHIEF BAKER: Believe me, I wish I could, but it’s outta my hands. They’re gonna be sending some paperwork over soon. Let’s go. Wait! No, you can’t just let her go. You’ve gotta fight this, keep her in custody! In custody for what? She’s been pardoned. For crimes committed in the past. But we all know what you’re capable of. If you slip up, hurt somebody else, you will be back in prison. And whoever’s looking out for you now surely won’t be foolish enough to do it again. I’m gonna keep an eye on you. A very close eye. You. You did this, didn’t you? RIDGE: Of course he did! Look at him! Who else can pull that kind of a favor–it had to be you. I’m just so thankful, I mean getting this second chance. I-I’m not gonna mess it up. I’m free! [laughs] Free. [heavy music plays] [coughing, wheezing] [hoarsely] You coulda killed me. I still could. You took advantage of my son. Finn was 18. He knew exactly what he was doing! You’re sick, Penelope! You’re sick! Well, you can think so, but the connection that Finn and I had wasn’t. We cared about each other. We still care about each other. Maybe you conned him into thinking there was aconnection. But I know what really happened. You used him. You used my son, and because of that, because ofyou, he has a daughter! His cousin–Luna! Luna who abducted his wife, killed those two men at Il Giardino. But babe, I don’t wanna… I don’t wanna hate on Poppy every time she comes in here, but I– But you do, because there’s something inside of you that doesn’t trust her. Absolutely not. She raised that monster. You know, look, nurture, nature, whatever you wanna call it– Poppy has to assume some blame in this. I guess. But you know what? If-if you’re talking nature, then Tom has something to do with this as well if you truly believe that DNA can dictate the way someone turns out. You know the thing that really blows me away, I mean just that I find absolutely gruesome is that Luna could kill Tom, her own father. Look, I realize that your wife can’t stand me and her parents can’t either, and I don’t blame them. But you, Finn, you’re my father. I-I’m your flesh and blood. Please just tell me that there’s a part of you, even the tiniest, but that’s happy I’m not going back to prison. God, Luna, stop being delusional! Finn despises you as much as the rest of us. There’s no way he doesn’t want you behind bars. And you will be. There’s no doubt. We will fight this absurd pardon relentlessly until you’re back where you belong. Yeah. Locked up. In prison. Yourcage. Yeah, I-I see the irony in that, and I understand why you guys would want me to rot in a confined space. But not you, Finn. Dad. If only I knew this growing up, everything would be so different. You know? All of the horrible things I did would have never happened because I would have had a good, stable, honorable presence in my life. TAYLOR: I see you think you can absolve your crimes by playing the traumatic childhood. -No one’s buying it. -LUNA: You don’t have to. None of you do. -Except my father. -STEFFY: Oh, my God. -[Ridge exhales] -STEFFY: Okay. This is-this is– Finn, tell her you want nothing to do with her. Out. All of you. Excuse me? This is my home, and I want you all gone. -Now. -RIDGE: You know what? This is gonna backfire on you. I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but it will. This is my daughter you’re putting in danger. This is the mother of your granddaughter. I don’t know what you’re gonna gain from this, but it’s something. You’re despicable! Stop…calling him…Dad. He isn’t that to you. He never will be. You’re not gonna be in our lives. We never wanna see your face again. [tense music plays] You probably feel more disdain for me than ever. Probably? After targeting my son? Yeah. That’s a given. He gave me a beautiful daughter at least. [scoffs] Ohh. A daughter you let get out of control. You raised a killer. [sniffles] Well… maybe she still has a chance at a decent life. I mean, you said she’s out of prison, right? Staying at Bill’s? That’s just like you… never having to actually face the consequences for her actions. Maybe she’ll just float through life, bouncing from one tragic situation to the next, oblivious to the real responsibility entails. Wouldn’t be surprised, considering who her mother is. The horrible human being her mother is. Get out of my life, Penelope. Never, ever come back. You are not my sister. [intense music plays] Hey, I understand how you feel. I mean, to think that Luna could kill her own father and then set her mother up for it, and what– what she did to her own cousin’s wife… Okay, look, I know that there is no love lost between myself and Steffy, but I… I never would have wished that upon her. I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but maybe some people really do deserve to be locked away in prison for the rest of their lives. And if anybody does… it’s Luna. What the hell was Bill thinking? -I wish I knew. -Well, it had to be him, right? -Arranging the pardon? -Well, who else could do it? Who’d want to–Poppy maybe, but she doesn’t have any influence over anybody. Now, this was Spencer. He unleashed this lunatic -back into our world. -Back into our lives. How could this be? How can Luna get away with everything she’s done? It was you, right? First you got me out of prison, saved my life, brought me here to your home. And as if that wasn’t enough I don’t know how, but you got me pardoned? It must have been you, right? I mean, nobody else would… even care or understand what I’ve been through and why I might deserve a second chance. It was you, right? A million reasons why I shouldn’t have. But yes. It was me. [soft music plays] STEFFY: Luna–free! Pardoned? I know. I– I can’t believe it either. Oh, my God. This is all because of Bill. Well, he didn’t admit it, but I mean, it was– No, this is him. He was stupid enough to bring Luna into his home under house arrest. He is definitely behind that pardon. Ugh! What is that man thinking? About his childhood, it sounds like, bonding over similar traumas? Yeah. I don’t for a second believe that Bill Spencer, Jr. suffered growing up. The same with Luna. You know, I don’t–I don’t even care if they wanna talk about their trauma– what about the trauma that Luna inflicted on Tom and Hollis a-and on me? And now she’s just out, free, walking around! You heard Baker, honey. I don’t– There’s nothing to be done about it. Well, there has to be a way to get her behind bars. And if there is, I will find it. Luna Nozawa– she’s going back to prison. This time for good. [uneasy music plays] God. Can’t stand Bill. No one can. Best thing to do is ignore him. Don’t give him any attention. His ignorance is causing our family pain. It puts us in danger. I don’t use the word hate lightly, but that’s how I feel. I hate Bill for what he’s done. Don’t make me regret this, Luna. I thought you already might be. The reactions you got from Steffy and her parents– -they lashed out at you. -Didn’t surprise me. I knew the wrath I’d be facing. But I did what I did. I gave you a second chance. Something I’ll forever be thankful to you for. I am just beyond grateful. You wanna show me your gratitude, Luna? Be the best version of yourself. Live your best life. What I said earlier about everyone leaving… Wait. You meant me too? You can’t stay here any longer. You need to go. Oh. Okay. Okay. I understand. But thank you, Bill. Truly. I mean, you have changed my life in so many ways and I’m forever indebted to you, and I’m gonna pay you back somehow. -It’s not necessary. -No, I will. I’m gonna find a way. Someday your kindness will be rewarded. I have a meeting. Be gone when I get back. STEFFY: Luna’s your daughter, and I-I’m really, really, Finn, trying to find way to… accept that, and part of me does believe I would have accepted it if I knew that Luna was in prison, she wasn’t a threat to us, she could no longer hurt us. But…but this? First Sheila and now Luna? Come on! I feel like we’re surrounded by psychos. Finn, you have to promise me something. -What? -Please do not make the same mistake you made with Sheila. You allowed yourself to be vulnerable to her. You gave her an opening, and I… I can’t go through that again, Finn, okay? Not this time. -Not with Luna. -No. -I know, I know, all right? -Okay? -Hey. -Just promise me. I know. Oh, God, I’m just so– Oh, I’m so furious with Bill. None of this would have happened if he hadn’t interfered. We wouldn’t have to worry about Luna. She wouldn’t have been an issue for us. She would have been locked up, and now because of Bill’s immense stupidity, she’s out! She’s out. She’s free. And not only is she out– she called you Dad. And she called you Dad more than once, so that obviously means that she wants a relationship with you. That can’t happen, Finn. Tell me you understand that. [edgy music plays] This is so crazy, looking at you now after all these years. My father. [crying]My father. I finally found you. [sniffling] I’m not gonna lose you now. STEFFY: Finn, you really need to take the lead on this– getting Luna locked up. Justice needs to be served. I need you to do everything in your power to make sure she goes back to prison and she stays there. For life, Finn. I know. I know.

[ominous music plays] How could you possibly let Luna out of prison? You put our daughter and our family in danger. I am making sure you will not hurt anyone else. You’re going back where you belong. No, please. Please, Dad, please don’t let them do this. -I can’t go back there! -You’re a convicted murderer. You never should have been here in the first place! She was going to be killed in there. No one cares about that. You’re putting everyone at risk! Say goodbye to your freedom, Luna. -No, no! -Oh, yeah, come on. Vacation’s over. You had your fun. Let’s go. Dad, please, please do something! I can’t go back there. I’m gonna die in there! Please! [Luna crying] -Enjoy. -Thank you so much. -[sighs] -I was just thinking. Could you imagine having Luna as a daughter? It can’t be easy on Poppy. Yeah, well, my pity only goes so far. You can’t blame Poppy for this. What, that her daughter’s a serial killer? I mean, she raised her, Sheila. Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s right. Just blame the mom, huh? That’s what everybody seems to do. Um, her dad was a pretty good soul. I mean, I think Tom Starr woulda been a terrific dad. Come on, baby. That’s a little bit of a stretch, don’t you think? Not that I didn’t adore Tom. You know, Poppy left pretty quickly. Yeah. I guess Li wanted to see her. DEACON: Hmm. -But I do wonder why. -I don’t know. Li’s a tough cookie. I wouldn’t wanna be on her bad side. [edgy music plays] She lied to me. She swore up and down that I wasn’t the father. Luna’s my daughter. POPPY: Li. Hi! You wanted to see me? You know, we don’t know the real story. I mean, we’ve got no idea why Li and Poppy were estranged all those years. Yeah, well, families just get messy sometimes. Yeah, I get that. I mean, you know, it sounds like Poppy was a wild child, you know, going to music festivals, -living life on the road. -I don’t think they could be any more different, quite honestly, but… I don’t know, this thing with Luna– I think it might have changed their dynamic. Well, Poppy did say that she and Li haven’t been this close in years. So you see? Maybe something good did come out of this tragedy. Maybe they…they’re finally gonna have a relationship that’ll last. [laughs] I was so excited to get your text. And I thought… let’s do brunch this weekend. -Hmm. -Yeah let’s spend time together like now that we’re acting like real sisters again. Mm? My sweet little sister. All right. You know, I used to hate that when you called me that– your sweet little sister. But now…I love it. I do. It’s a badge that I wear with honor. Oh, with honor. Really. Li, you’re one of the most influential people in my life. I’ve admired you from the day that I was born. And the fact that we’ve made peace… …that means the world to me because family is everything. -[strained] Mm-hmm. -It’s everything. Yes, my family matters to me more than you could ever imagine. I will do everything I can to protect the ones I love. I know I don’t deserve anyone’s sympathy. -Far from it. -And I’m not making excuses for myself, okay? I am so horrified by what I’ve done. But I cannot go back to prison. -You have no choice. -I’m gonna die in there! Please, Finn! I’m your daughter now. You just said that you wish you were around to help me, and now I need your help now. Please, Finn, I’m gonna die! Yeah, Luna, you are my daughter, but first and foremost… …you killed two men and you attacked the love of my life. [intense music plays] [soft background music plays] Luna’s a bad seed. She’s definitely got the crazy gene, that’s for sure. Yeah. She’s gonna be paying for it. She’s gonna be incarcerated for the rest of her life. Yeah, well, that’s not long enough as far as I’m concerned. I mean, all Tom wanted to do was be a part of her life, and she barely even knew Hollis. But, you know, he was on to her, so she had to take him out too. I can’t help it. Every time– Sheila, every time I look at Poppy, I just feel… It makes me think what her daughter took away from us. Hey. I understand why you’re feeling that way. Do you? I mean, do you really? Because you seem–you seem super invested in Poppy right now. I mean, frankly, I’m just surprised you’ve got so much sympathy for her. Poppy is really feeling it right now, and quite honestly, I am too. I know what it’s like to be a mother separated from your child. I get that, I get that. I understand. But that’s not what I’m talking about. Sheila, I can’t put my finger on it, but there is something about Poppy that I do not trust. Li, I need to tell you something. Do you remember when I said that Luna wasn’t at the prison? -Yes. -And they wouldn’t say anything about where she was, whether she had been transferred to another facility, if she was sick or injured, and I have no idea where she is. I’m worried about her, Li, and I don’t know what to do. I tried calling her lawyer, and he won’t return my calls. And I hate to say it, but… I’m beginning to wonder if she’s still alive. Oh, don’t be ridiculous, Penelope. Of course she’s still alive. Okay. B-but how would we know that for sure? I haven’t heard from her in so long, and there’s no way for me to get in touch with her. And they just turn me away at the facility with no explanation, just that she’s still serving her sentence, but they won’t tell me where. I know where she is. -You do? -Yes. Where? She’s at Bill’s. Bill…Spencer’s? No, no. No, that’s impossible. That can’t be correct. It is. I’m certain of it. How– You’ve seen her? No. But Finn did. My son. Your nephew. Luna’sfather. [dramatic musical sting] Luna, you are my daughter… but you killed two people. Maybe I could have changed things for you. Maybe I could have changed the course of your life, and I wish I would have been given that chance. But Steffy’s right. You need to go back to prison and pay for your crimes. No, Dad, I can’t go back there. Please, I’m begging you. -It’s the right thing to do. -LUNA: You don’t mean that. Okay? I-I’m good here. I feel like my old self again, like when I was little. You remember that girl, right? Only this time, I’m your daughter. I’m your own flesh and blood. And nothing’s gonna change that, and you’re also not gonna change my mind. Bill– STEFFY: Oh, stop. Bill can’t save you. Not this time, Luna. You should be ashamed of yourself. TAYLOR: Did you even consider the repercussions? Having her released on house arrest? You know what, next time you get lonely, Why don’t you rescue a dog or something? All right, enough! Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe I overstepped. But I wanted to help Luna in a way that no one helped me when I was a kid. Oh, boy. Poor Bill. Do you understand how insane you sound? Luna killed two people. You may feel sorry for her, but I don’t. Now, I’m gonna get justice for Tom and Hollis and for me, too. [phone rings] -Baker. -Chief, it’s Steffy Forrester. Steffy. What can I do for you? I’m with an inmate you might be interested in. An inmate? Yes. Luna Nozawa. She’s at Bill’s house. -Are you safe? -At the moment, yes. I’ll be right there. Don’t let her leave. I won’t. She’s not going anywhere. Hear that? Cops are coming. Enjoy your last moments of luxury, because you’re going back to prison. Please, please, I-I can’t go back there, okay? Not when I just found you. Please let me stay. Please. I-I won’t leave this house. I just… I don’t wanna be away from my dad. [somber music plays] [moody music plays] Hey, what do you mean that-that you don’t trust Poppy? It’s just a feeling I get. It’s a feeling I’ve learned not to ignore. Come on, Sheila. Poppy has got a lotta secrets. LI: I know your secret. Finn told me everything. -Li, please– -Your sick, sordid behavior. I’ve always known you had no morals. But to take advantage of my 18-year-old son? No, no, wait, please. It wasn’t like that. We had– Like hell it wasn’t, Penelope. I don’t care that Finn was adopted. He’s family. You’re his aunt. -[whispering] I know, I know. -His aunt! -[loudly] I know! -How could you, Penelope? -Do you resent me that much? -[whispers] No. Did you do it to get back at me? To take the most precious thing in my life? No, no, no, no, no, no, i-it wasn’t like that, I swear. I would never pressure Finn into anything, okay? He wanted it as much as I did– Oh, stop it! I don’t believe you. This behavior is right up your alley– sleeping with one guy after the next. But to stoop so low… Okay, no, it is–it is not how anything that you’re imagining, okay? It was–it was just– we had something beautiful– Beautiful?Beautiful? [scoffs] You’re delusional. You got pregnant with your nephew’s child, Penelope. His cousin is now his daughter, and you’re telling me he wanted it? I know, okay? I understand how it looks, okay? And-and it-it wasn’t– it wasn’t appropriate– It’s disgusting! Reprehensible! You crossed a line, Penelope, that you will never come back from–do you hear me? You will not get away with this! [intense music plays] [tense music plays] You can’t run, Luna. The police will be here any second. No. I’m not going back there. You’re gonna stay right where you are. No, I won’t survive. I swear. I mean it. Do you have any sense of what you’ve done? Any at all? You almost took Steffy away from us, away from her children. And I’m sorry. I really am. -No, you’re not. -I mean it! Okay? If I could take it all back, I would. I-I wouldn’t have hurt all those people. -I don’t know what got into me. -How dumb do you think we are? You’re only saying this because you’ve been busted. You want Finn to think that you feel remorse. [whimpers] No… You’re a psychiatrist, right? You understand how damaging traumatic childhoods can be. That’s no excuse for what you’ve done. I have patients with backgrounds far more tragic than yours, and they’ve managed not to kill anyone. Why do you think you’re entitled to walk away with a slap on the wrist? And you–you got her out. There’s no excuse in the world for what you’ve done. LUNA: Bill is not to blame, okay? He’s been wonderful. He-he understands how much I’ve struggled not having a father growing up and not having a dad to-to care for me and to protect me. But now I do, okay? Now I know who helped bring me into the world, and it’s the most incredible man I know, and you guys are trying to rip me away from him! This is because ofyou,Luna! Youmessed this up. All-all I’m asking is just please just let me stay a little longer. Not a chance in hell. But I may never see my father again! [crying] Police. Chief Baker, she’s right here. What the hell is she doing here? -Ask Bill. -[police radio chatter] You’re supposed to be locked up. I can explain, okay? I’m on house arrest. Enough! Chief Baker, take her away. [dark music plays] Okay, Li, just-just stay calm and, you know, sit down because, you know, we can– -we can discuss this. -And what, listen to more of your excuses? No, no, okay? I-I will tell you anything that you wanna know– the truth, everything that you wanna know– More than 20 years, Penelope, more than 20 years you’re hiding this. You looked me in the eye, never said a word. ‘Cause I swear I didn’t know who the father really was, and -I didn’t wanna start trouble– -How could you have known? How could you have known? There were so many men, including my son! I–You’re starting to scare me. You should be scared. You created a monster. My son and Steffy will have to live with that for the rest of their lives because of yourirresponsibility, your twisted, depraved behavior. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? I can barely stand to watch you breathe. I’ve always known you have no integrity. But this? Huh? God, what a fool I’ve been. I felt so bad for you! Uh-uh. I accused you of having an affair with my husband in my own home. I felt guilty for thinking you could do such a horrible thing. I was wrong. But what you did was a thousand times worse. You didn’t just target my husband. You went after my son! -No–wait, n-no– -Yes! You went after my son, and now he has to accept that he has a daughter that tried to murder his wife? Because of you, Penelope! -You! -Aah– [Li grunts] [intense music plays] Somebody tell me what’s going on here. Luna was released into Bill’s custody. It’s all legit. I have an ankle monitor -and everything. -CHIEF BAKER: I see. But that doesn’t explain anything! I understand why you’d be confused. But Luna’s right. It’s all on the up-and-up. The powers that be know that she’s with me. If that’s the case, it’s highly unusual, -to say the least. -I made a deal… under the condition that she stays on my premises under 24/7 supervision. So the translation to that is you paid people off! CHIEF BAKER: You’ve got a nice estate here, Mr. Spencer, but you’re not equipped to hold a high-risk criminal, especially somebody as deadly as Luna Nozawa. -Cuff her. -LUNA: No! No, please, please! Dad, please, I swear I’ve changed, okay? I-I promise I won’t cause anyone problems, please. -[phone rings] -Please say something. Help me. Please! -[metal clicks] -Baker. What? [stammers] Say that again. Are you sure? Yes, sir. Okay. Very well. Uncuff her. What? W-whoa, whoa! Wh-what’s going on? Remove her ankle monitor too. STEFFY: What? Why? Why? What’s going– -I’m sorry. I’m sorry. -Sorry about what? Luna Nozawa has been pardoned. -STEFFY: Pardoned? -She’s been what? CHIEF BAKER: I’m afraid so. RIDGE: She’s guilty! -She confessed! -There’s nothing I can do about it– she’s a free woman. -TAYLOR: Free woman? -STEFFY: That can’t be true! RIDGE: Yeah, s-something’s wrong here. What about her sentence? You’re just throwing that out? STEFFY: Yeah! She killed two men! [stammering] You can’t do this! No, there’s no way this is happening. There is no way. This can’t be real. She cannot get away with this! She needs to go back to prison! Finn, please, you have to do something! Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

But what you did– getting Luna out of prison– is sick, even for you. And you. You’re going right back where you belong–behind bars, for good this time. You are never gonna see or hear from Finn ever again. [intense music plays] SHEILA: There is nothing–nothing that can sever the relationship between a parent and a child. [door opens] You remember Mrs. Lane, the case referred to us from Seattle? Could use your eyes on these scans. Finn? Finn, what is it? Um…[sniffles] Mom, there’s, um, there’s something you should know. Something I shoulda told you… years ago. [intense music plays] -Mm. -Oh. You’re breaking the bubble. Yeah? What bubble is that? You know, on this couch… we can sit in silence and try to forget about everything. Like, in the bubble, Luna isn’t… Finn’s daughter… and Steffy isn’t dealing with another obstacle in her marriage. I hate to tell you, but I haven’t forgotten about any of it. Me neither. But we raised a strong woman. Steffy knows what she’s doing. Is that part of the bubble game, stating the obvious? Yes. Otherwise, all I can do is… feel terrible that I can’t do anything to help her. Tell me. What’s going on? It has to do with your sister. Your Aunt Poppy? Yeah. Um… All those…years ago, um… …when she stayed with us. Something… something happened, Mom. What does-what does that mean, “something happened”? Between Poppy and me. -See, it’s all in the hips. -Mmm. Hey, like what you see, Mrs. Sharpe? -Oh, my God, how could I not? -Uh-huh. Look at those arms, and if you look at the– Ha ha ha. Somebody looks very thirsty. We can’t have that, now, can we? Just, uh, go easy on her. -Hi! -Hi. How’s it going? -Good. You’ve been well? -Yeah, I’ve been well. -Are you looking to eat today? -Oh. Maybe you’re the one that should go easy. Hey, Sheila. -Hey. -Hi, Deacon. -It’s nice to see you again. -Hey, Poppy. Uh, can I put in an order for you? Yeah, it might take a while, though. We’re still pretty– pretty understaffed, you know? We lost two of our best employees. Good friends. Thanks to your daughter. I’m just not sure that it will ever feel real. Luna’s Finn’s daughter. -Couldn’t have predicted that. -Yeah. Good news is we don’t have to worry about Luna. She’s behind bars. Far away from our daughter. STEFFY: How could you do this? For her? You went above and beyond. You used, what, your connections, your bribes to get this monster out of prison? Bill, what the hell are you thinking? Answer me! [dramatic music plays] Something happened between you and my sister? You and Dad were… out of the house a lot back then. You both had demanding careers. Not-not that I ever felt neglected. It’s just… it’s just, you know, that’s– that’s why Poppy was… there staying with us. She was helping you out, and you gave her a place to live. So I was 18… and, uh… Poppy and I were alone a lot… together. And, uh… we became close and, um… [gasps] Then, uh, one night… [gasping] No. [breathing heavily] No. You two– [whimpers] You– you and my sister? [gasps] Oh! Oh! Deacon, I am sorry, and please know how deeply ashamed I am of my daughter’s actions. Actions? You mean crimes. I mean, let’s call ’em what they are. Okay, look, despite what Luna did, it’s her flesh and blood. You’re never gonna stop loving her because nothing can break the bond between a mother and her child. It has been a lot to process, I mean, especially with, you know, recent developments. What? You still don’t know where she is? No. It’s just like she… disappeared. [scoffs] What Poppy did with Finn is… ugh–twisted. Imagine how Li’ll react when she finds out. I mean, how did we end up in a world where Luna is Finn’s daughter? And Sheila is his birth mother. That poor kid. Our poor daughter! This is horrifying. The only saving grace in this whole situation is that Luna’s behind bars… for the rest of her life. I thought you cared about me… about your granddaughter. Instead, you let this monster loose? I’m still serving my sentence. I’m just not in prison. Oh, my G–Bill’s estate? Really? It’s a pretty cushy sentence for killing two men and putting me in a cage and leaving me to die. And you allowed this! I don’t expect you to understand this, but Luna and share a deep, profound understanding of each other– the trauma that we experienced in our childhood. You cannot be serious, Bill. -I am. -This lunatic tried to kill me, leaving Kelly and Hayes without a mother! She almost destroyed my family! I mean, she–she should never see outside of a prison again! Wait, wait, wh-what are you doing? This…is over. I’m calling the police. [heavy music plays] Wait a second, wait. Luna’s no longer in prison? -And you knew. -I didn’t wanna upset you. Where the hell is she? [gasping] I can’t believe it. You were just a child. I was 18, so… Oh, please! Oh… She took advantage of you. [gasping] God. [breathing hard] What she did was sick. Oh, my God. I never wanted you to know about any of this. And the only reason I’m telling you now is– …is because I just recently learned something. -What… -Poppy and I moved on. We never talked about it again. I mean, I just wanted to forget it. What? You’re scaring me, Finn. What are you saying? Tom Starr wasn’t Luna’s father. You proved that. And then you ruled out Dad. I confronted her as soon as she found out that she was pregnant before she left, and she swore to me that the baby wasn’t mine. -I believed her. -Oh, my God! I believed her, Mom, but it turns out that… She lied. -She lied to me. -[crying] Wha… She swore up and down that I wasn’t the father. She swore there was no chance and I just–I don’t know why, but I trusted her. I trusted her, and I don’t know why she would betray me like that. Why would she leave me out of it? Out of what? My child’s life. Luna’s my daughter. Oh, my God! No. No! [gasping] STEFFY: This has gone on long enough. It doesn’t matter if Finn is your father. You’re not spending another night here. He can’t help you! You’re going back to prison where you belong. [phone rings] [ringing] I-I can’t talk. I have an important call I have to make. -What’s going on? You okay? -I’m at Bill’s. With Luna. Luna? Bill got Luna out of prison. She’s under house arrest here at Bill’s. There’s no way. It’s real. I’m staring at both of them. All right. Don’t move. Your mom and I are on our way. -Luna’s at Bill’s. -What? I’ll explain on the way. Let’s go. Please don’t do this, Steffy. Please don’t call the police. You know what? No. I refuse to believe it. This is just another one of Penelope’s lies. No, Mom, no. After you proved that Tom Starr wasn’t Luna’s father, I got her blood sample from the lab. I wanted to rule myself out, so I took a paternity test. I took two of ’em and… No, there’s no mistake. I’m…Luna’s my child. [exhales] [whispering] My sister and my son. Under my own roof. And Luna’s your child. Does Steffy know? Oh, my God. I can’t even imagine how she reacted. -First Sheila, now Luna? -I know. I know. I know, Mom, and… my heart breaks for her. I mean, we have just been tested… so many times. At least you two have this time to process and heal while Luna’s behind bars– thank God. Luna’s not in prison. Yeah, she’s still incarcerated. We just don’t know where she is. She’s serving her sentence under house arrest. At Bill Spencer’s. Wh-what? I don’t know. Bill somehow got her out. -Have you seen her? -Yes. I’ve seen her, and Steffy– she’s over there right now. Mom, look, I-I know that you’re trying to make sense of all of this and everything that I’ve just put on you, but I haven’t heard from Steffy. I need to get over there. I’m worried about her. Mom… Go. Go be with Steffy. The only information that I have is that she is still incarcerated somewhere. -[phone chimes] -POPPY: Oh. It’s my sister. She wants to see me. It seems kind of urgent. Well, maybe Li’s got some news. Well, I doubt it. They wouldn’t tell her own mother where she is. [sighs] Well, I guess the one good thing to come of this horrible situation is I feel like I have a sister again. I mean, Li and I, we have never been closer. Still lying to my face all this time. I know how it sounds, okay, me beggingyou,of all people, for mercy, but I promise you, I’m not the same person -who committed those crimes. -I am not buying that, Luna. It’s true! I’m haunted by it. Harming you–that was never supposed to happen! So the torture you put me through wasn’t premeditated? I don’t care. It doesn’t change my mind. There-there’s not much to do around here except relive what I’ve done every single day, over and over, okay? I-I can barely sleep ’cause– ’cause every time I close my eyes, it-it’s Tom or Hollis or you staring back at me. Bill knows! Bill, tell her. Bill, tell her about the conversations we had, about how I can change and start to atone and– Oh, my God, Finn’s my dad. That makes you my stepmom. Oh, y-you stop! Enough! I’m never gonna be a mother figure to you, so just stop talking. [door opens] You okay? What the hell is wrong with you? This is my daughter you’re putting in danger. This is the mother of your grandchild! Every time I think you-you’ve gone too far, you find another gear for yourself. Say something! I don’t expect any of you to understand this, but Luna and I have a lot in common. We both suffered significant trauma in our childhoods, and the result is that there are situations that make us emotionally shut off and lash out. Do horrible things. That’s why Luna committed those crimes. She was in fight or flight mode. She felt–shefeltlike she had no choice. You know what I feel, Bill? I feel that you are delusional! She was being beaten in there. It was just a matter of time until she was killed. I couldn’t just stand there and let that happen! Sharing traumatic childhoods is not a reason to get her out of prison. You can’t fix her. She was serving her time. More importantly, she was contained, allowing us and Steffy to feel safe. You’re going back to prison where you belong. Please! I-I can’t go back there. Guys, I’m gonna die in there! Dad! Dad, please, please, you have to help me! They wanna send me back to prison! You–okay, listen, You guys didn’t see me when I first got out, okay? I was covered in cuts and bruises. I was gonna die in there! And you don’t want that. I know you don’t want that, Finn. We just found out that we’re father and daughter! We can help heal each other together, okay? The family that I’ve always wanted is finally possible, and I can show you guys the real me, the real me inside that I’m not the same person who committed those crimes. Please! Please, I cannot go back there. Please, Dad, you have to help me. I am gonna die in there! Please! Please help me. Please, please, please, please. Please. [crying] [whispering] Please, please, please. [intense music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

[tense music plays] Steffy, please. I’m sorry. You’re a monster. I don’t know what Bill was thinking getting you out of jail, but that’s exactly where you’re headed. FINN: Mr. Williams, your ALT level’s still above the safe threshold. Well, good. I commend you on making those lifestyle changes, but unfortunately, in some cases, what you did in the past affects your life today. Yeah, uh, no, yeah, I’m still here. Uh, yeah, give a call to Nancy and, uh, set up a follow-up. Okay. Thank you. She’s incarcerated, but she’s not in prison. She’s under house arrest. House arrest. At Bill Spencer’s. [gasps] SHEILA: Tough day? I was in the building. I just wanted to stop by and say hello to my handsome son. Daphne has no place here– not after what she’s done. So tell her, Carter. Why don’t you tell her to go back to Paris…today? Hope. Why are you hesitating? She crossed a line when she kissed you. She betrayed our trust, so… she needs to go. Isn’t that right, Carter? You shouldn’t be here. Well…I miss you. Oh, I ca-I can’t- I can’t do this right now. Something’s bothering you. It’s nothing. Sweetheart, look at me. No, I can see it in your eyes. Something’s wrong. [uneasy music plays] I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, okay? -I feel terrible. -Not terrible enough to serve your time, apparently, take accountability for your crimes. I hate myself for what I did, especially to you–Finn’s wife. My dad’s wife. I wouldn’t get too comfortable calling Finn your dad because you’re never gonna have a relationship with him ever again. [heavy chords play] Daphne obviously has no respect for me, for us, or Forrester. Au contraire. I have deep admiration for Forrester. But this isn’t Forrester– not really. Yes, it is, and it’s better than ever. Is that what you believe, Carter? You’ll make Forrester better without the Forresters? HOPE: [sighs] Please do not listen to her. She obviously has an agenda, and she is trying to make you feel guilty. I don’t need to make him feel anything–look at him. This takeover is weighing on him. I don’t need to explain this to you, but it has been weighing on both of us. Mm. That’s not true. Carter’s the only one who’s tormented. Taking Forrester from the people who saw him as family– it’s killing him. That family ignored and discounted him. You’re still making excuses, I see. You know, when I first arrived at Forrester, I didn’t expect to admire Carter. I thought I would meet a power-hungry, self-centered egomaniac. I was surprised to know that this man had principles and values. Unlike me? Carter made terrible mistakes. He lost his way. But you didn’t lose yours, did you? This is exactly who you are. Okay. Okay, Daphne. It was my idea to take over the company. An idea that tortured you, no? Stabbing your best friend in the back. Did your loving companion stop you… try to talk some sense into you? Or did she see it as an opportunity? Open your eyes. Hope’s using you. [heavy music plays] I’m fine, Sheila. Now, if you don’t mind, -I have– -No. You know what? I know my son, and I can tell when something is weighing on you and you’re trying to hide it– what is it? Nothing that I wanna get into. You shouldn’t even be here. Oh, because of Steffy? No, because of you, Sheila. My wife and I have every right not to want you in our lives. Steffy has been very clear about that. Oh, yeah, she has made it painfully clear. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done. But you know I am not that person any longer and, Finn, I am your mother. You’re my birth mother, Sheila. I have a mother who raised me. It’s my blood running through your veins and your child’s veins. I can’t even tell you the heartbreak that I feel not being close to my children. I missed out on your life, your childhood and now I have an opportunity, and Steffy won’t let me anywhere near you. But I pray that you never experience the pain that I feel… just wanting to be close to your child. Not sleeping at night, just wondering -if things had been different. -Sheila. I lost out on the opportunity to be your mother. And that’s a loss that I am going to have to carry with me for the rest of my life. [somber music plays] Look, I know that this is really painful and confusing for you, but Finn is my dad. It doesn’t matter. Of course it matters. Finn’s a part of me. I’m a part of Finn. We’re all family! Hayes is my brother now. Don’t you ever say his name again–ever! It’s the truth, Steffy. Finally, I have my truth. This question has been hanging over my head for my entire life– who my dad is. My mom lied to my face for over 20 years. She didn’t tell me that the most incredible man I’ve ever known is my father–things would be so different if I had known. Oh, so that’s the excuse now. Because you didn’t have a-a daddy it gives you every right to be a vicious murderer? No. That is not what I’m saying. I own what I did, and I’ll be haunted by it for the rest of my life. But please, Steffy, please don’t take Finn away from me. Steffy. How could you, Bill? -Please listen. -She tried to kill me. How could you release this monster from prison? How! [dramatic music plays] Honestly, this is getting so old, this narrative about me using people, discounting the fact that I have spent years building a successful line. Then you were fired and your line was killed. -What changed? -I don’t know. You tell me, Daphne. Sounds as if you’ve been talking to Steffy. What warped version of the story has she told you? I’ve been here long enough to formulate my own opinion. Carter’s a wonderful man who’s lost his way to defend you. -I didn’t– -DAPHNE: What? Lose your way? Yes, you did. Because of her. You don’t know anything about us. Carter and I spent a lot of time together. We shared personal stories. I understand he’s been waiting for the right woman And he’s found her. I’ve done nothing but support his dream, his vision. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you maybe are the one projecting because you haven’t found the right one, have you? So… if you care that little about her, why don’t you tell her to leave Forrester and never come back? Hope, um, you know how much I love you, and I get you’re outraged. But forcing Daphne to leave would be a mistake. [scoffs] [whispers] What? It was one kiss, and it should have never happened, but it was one mistaken kiss. You can understand how that can happen, right? -You can relate to that, right? -[sighing] And the fragrance line is integral to Forrester’s success. It’d be bad business if Daphne left for Paris, especially now. You want Daphne to stay. I know you’re upset… but yes. It’s best for the company if Daphne doesn’t go back to Paris. [dramatic music plays] SHEILA: I’m just trying to help you. I’m fine. No, you’re not. Honey, I can tell something is wrong. [sighs] Does it have to do with Steffy? What the hell were you thinking, Bill? She killed two innocent men and pinned it on her mother. She left me in a cage to die. She was gonna destroy my family! Leaving your granddaughter without a mother, and you… you got her out of prison? She’s still serving her sentence. Serving her sentence, what, here at your estate, really? She’s under house arrest. She can’t leave the property. Oh, my God! She is dangerous. She is gonna bring so much danger into our lives! -I have this under control. -You do not have Luna under control, Bill! I understand her in a way that no one else does. She manipulated you into thinking that you were her father! This bond that you think you have–it is a lie! -It’s not. -What are you talking about? How can you not see that she is a monster? What Luna did was beyond terrible–I’ll never defend it. But she’s a broken person, and I can help her. Has she been here this entire time? I didn’t want anyone to know. You would never understand. No one would understand. But Finn found out, and obviously he told you. I am not the same person who committed those crimes. And Bill believes me. BILL: The fact is that Luna has been dealt a horrible hand. She suffered things as a child that no one should. It doesn’t justify her crimes, but she has her whole life in front of her to make up for it, to be a better person. Luna is an evil person, and she belongs behind bars. And I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that happens. You’ll do everything in your power to put your husband’s daughter back behind bars, to destroy any chance they have at a meaningful relationship? Really, Steffy? You’re sure that’s something you could do? [dark music plays] [somber music plays] I cannot believe you are siding with Daphne. I’m siding with Forrester. We took over this company because we saw its potential, to treat our employees fairly without judgement. She kissed you. She apologized. She recognizes she was wrong. -Oh, you buy that? -Hope, we both know what it’s like to lose ourselves in the moment and regret it. We can show Daphne the same grace we wished Steffy showed you. It is so much deeper than that, Carter. Steffy is clearly in her head. She is accusing me of using you. As long as she makes a fragrance that takes this company to the next level, it doesn’t matter what she thinks. Both Zende and your mom, they’re conflicted. Steffy thinks you’re using me too–none of it matters. As long as they do their job, there’s no problem. Now, as manager of the LLC that runs Forrester Creations, I’m telling you, it’s imperative that Daphne stays on in Los Angeles. [speaking French] I know you think that you’re helping me, but whatever I got going on, I’ll figure out. -Okay? -I’m… I just wanna help because I love you. You’re my child, my blood, and it doesn’t matter how much distance or how tall those walls are are Steffy’s trying to build between us. There is nothing–nothing that can sever the relationship between a parent and a child. I miss you. I miss you and my grandchild so very much. [edgy music plays] My entire life has been one bad dream after another, okay, Steffy? I was-I was hurting and I-I– Oh, my God, save the sob story, Luna. No. I just want you to understand that finding out that Finn’s my father has been the most amazing thing to happen to me. To know that someone so amazing and honest and kind is the reason why I’m here– it makes me believe that maybe there’s some good in me too. There is no good in you. You have Sheila’s blood running through your veins. It’s Finn’s blood. He’s my dad. And I understand this is really complicated. We grew up thinking that we were cousins– Not to mention you’re a murderer. When he looked at me, he didn’t see what you see. He saw his daughter. I could feel his love. It was like this special bond that was created, like we connected on a deeper, more meaningful level. You’re a parent. You understand this. You tried to send your mom to prison for killing a man you thought was your father, and you’re gonna try to talk to me about a parent’s love? How’d that work out for Poppy? You have no idea what it was like growing up with her. She was never fit to be a parent, but Finn– Finn is exactly what I was missing in my life, okay? I want nothing more in the world to prove to you, to Bill, to Finn, to everyone that I’m a changed woman, okay? I wanna be someone that a father can be proud to look at. You are out of your mind! And you–Bill, you are so naive. She tricked you and made you think that you were her father after she killed two men! People change, Steffy. Enough! Enough! I don’t even wanna hear it! I don’t care what you have to say. Nothing you have done has changed. You committed murders. I don’t care what kind of strings you had to pull, what kind of bribes you had to do to get Luna out of prison. I’m gonna make it my personal mission to put you behind bars. And you know me, Bill. I will do everything I can to protect my family! -Steffy, I am your family! -No, you are not! You are nothing to me and you are especially nothing to Finn! You’re not his daughter. He doesn’t care about you! He doesn’t want a life with you! What you thought you saw in his eyes– you thought you saw love? That was pity. -No. No. -Yes, it was. Luna, I know exactly who you are. You tried to kill me. I begged for my life! I wanted to see my children, and I searched– I searched for every ounce of some humanity in your eyes, but I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t there! You just wanted me out of the way. I was some kind of like inconvenience to you. So I don’t care if you think you have some connection to Finn, that he is in your blood. You’re not his daughter. You never will be, Luna. Ever. [intense percussive music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

[mellow instrumentals] Finn, you know I love you and I don’t blame you for any of this. Look, if I would have known that Luna was my daughter, I could have been there for her. Things would have been different. What might have been, Finn, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change the horrific things Luna has done. So can we please just… forget about her? Tell me we’re never gonna talk about her again. I’m sorry, Stef, I– I just can’t do that. BILL: A relationship with your father. Tom Starr’s dead. You killed him. I know, and I’ll have to live with that for the rest of my life, but Bill, I didn’t kill my father! -Luna, I just– -He’s alive! And I know who he is. [uneasy music plays] [door closes] You wanna tell me what’s going on with Daphne? Uh, w-what do you mean? You know, she’s going back to Paris. Why aren’t you trying to stop her? I respect your talent, Daphne. After all, you have created a beautiful fragrance line for Forrester Creations, but… if you think I’m just going to stand idly by when you make moves on my man, well, then… you don’t know me at all. You know, I’ve seen your… type before. -Type. -Yeah. Someone who uses a good man to get what she wants. That’s what you’ve done. Let me be…crystal clear. Stay away from my man. [tense music plays] Daphne needs to get back to Paris. Wait, just when the fragrance line dropped? And it’s such a critical time. There’s more to it. Why’s Daphne suddenly deciding to take off? Or do I already know? It has something to do with you, doesn’t it, Carter? HOPE: Carter and I are in a committed relationship. I do not doubt it. And yet, you kissed him anyway? I admitted I was wrong. You know, I feel for him. That’s all. He seems a bit…lost. Don’t you think? Taking over Forrester Creations– it’s eating away at him. I wonder how long he’ll be able to live with that. You know who your father is. Who? Finn. Finn? Your cousin…Finn? STEFFY: Finn, I get how conflicted you are finding out that you have a daughter. But you need to get Luna out of your head. I’m her father. She’s not a child, Finn. She killed two men. She tried to kill me. You can’t save her. But I can’t rule out my responsibility. It’s all tragic. And how can we not say that her actions weren’t caused by a chaotic, unstable childhood, a childhood without a father? Whoa, Finn. Just because you have a messed-up childhood doesn’t mean that you can go out and kill someone. No, I know, I know, but yes, I think that I could have -made a difference if I’d known. -Oh, Finn. She killed Tom and Hollis. She tried to kill me. Thank God she is locked up in prison for the rest of her life. Look, she’s…[exhales] she’s incarcerated, but she’s not in prison. She’s under house arrest. House arrest. At Bill Spencer’s. -[gasps] -[intense music swells] You’re the reason that Daphne’s going back to Paris, aren’t you? She has feelings for you. I can tell. And you have feelings for her… don’t you, Carter? DAPHNE: Carter’s tormented about what the two of you have done. How can you not see that? Maybe you prefer not to. You know nothing… about our love. This love affair has been very beneficial for you. Eric, Ridge, and Steffy are gone. -[huffs] -You, your mother, and Carter are in. You got everything you wanted. I mean, you-you’ve been in Los Angeles for how long? You don’t know me. And to imply that I am using Carter when that couldn’t be further from the truth, I mean… Wow. Okay. You know what? Go ahead. Go ahead. Flaunt yourself in front of him. Embarrass yourself in front of him. But you know deep down that nothing is going to stop him from loving me… and me from loving him, and you know that, don’t you? That is why you are going back to Paris, because you know it is a lost cause, so… …let me be the first to say bon voyage. Slow down. Just-just slow down. If Finn just found out about this, how did you find out about it? I mean, I’m sure he didn’t post it on social media. No. So where’d you get the information? -Finn told me. -Finn tol– Finn was here? Well, he just showed up at the door. And you answered the door? -Luna, you know the deal. -I know, I know. I’m not supposed to see or talk to anyone, but, Bill, he’s my dad. He told you this, and you believe him. He did tests, okay? When he found out that Tom Starr wasn’t my father, he thought maybe it could be him. He never suspected it before? My mom lied to him. All my life, she swore that I wasn’t his. -How did he know you were here? -I don’t know! He went to the prison looking for me, and he somehow found out that I was here. Well, for your sake and for mine, you better hope he keeps his mouth shut or you’re gonna end up exactly where you don’t wanna be– locked up for the rest of your life. [heavy music plays] There’s no way I heard you right. Luna isn’t in prison? She’s under house arrest… at Bill’s? Yeah, I-I couldn’t believe it either. -Ho-ho-how did that happen? -I don’t know. I-I-I don’t know. I went to the prison– Wait–you went to the prison? Why would you do that? I went to see her, Steffy, but she wasn’t there. And then later I found out that she’d been released to Bill’s custody. So…you went to his house? Yeah, I did. Steffy, I needed to see her. You need to understand that. Okay? I needed to see my daughter. Your daughter… who tried to kill me. [dark music plays] [exhales] I love Hope. My commitment’s to her. -Are you sure about that? -I don’t like what you’re speculating, Zende, and I suggest you not share it with anyone. Daphne’s on her way back to Paris as we speak. I’m not making excuses, but perhaps you should ask yourself why Carter was so vulnerable. Carter and I are a team. We have love and respect for each other, although I don’t expect you to understand that. What I understand is that Carter has lost everything that makes him who he is– his principles, his values. The man you say you respect is a shell of himself. I respect Carter for the man he truly is, and he knows it. Maybe-maybe it’s okay that Finn knows, you know? -He’s my dad. He won’t say– -I warned you. I warned you. I told you what would happen if you broke the rules– you would end up back in prison. No, no, I-I can’t go back there. I have a father. I have a future. I have a father -who’s good and honest– -Luna–Luna! -What you’ve done… -No. I can be good too, Bill. Finn’s my dad. He’s half of me, and he’s wonderful. I can be my father’s daughter. [intense music plays] -Oh my God. -I know. I know. -This is upsetting. -Upsetting? Luna locked me in a cage. She tried to kill me, and she’s under house arrest at Bill’s? I mean, she killed two men. What is Bill thinking? -I don’t know. I don’t know. -My God! But I had to tell you. I wasn’t gonna keep it from you. Look, honey, hey, I love you. I love you, okay? More than anything. And I hate–I hate what Luna did to you. But… But what? She’s… she’s my daughter. And when I saw her, honey, I felt this pull inside. I couldn’t help it. I–it’s just that she’s a part of me. I can’t change it. We can’t change what she’s done, either… the crimes she’s committed. Oh, I know. I know. And when I found her at Bill’s, the moment she saw me, she broke down. She told me that she feels horrified about everything that she’s done. She begged me to believe that she was sorry. She said it felt like an out-of-body experience, like it wasn’t even her committing those crimes. Believe me, Finn… she was in her body. It was her. Why would you even listen to her? Because in that moment, all I could think about was that was my little girl. Steffy, she was mine. I didn’t get to hold her. Okay? I didn’t dry her tears, and I didn’t protect her. If Poppy would have told me all those years ago, I mean, Luna’s life would have been so different. She wouldn’t have hurt those two men -and she wouldn’t have hurt you. -[scoffs] Poppy robbed me of the chance to be a part of Luna’s life. She robbed both of us. I could have been her father from the beginning, and I never, ever would have failed her. So does she know? Did you tell her? Yeah. Luna knows. She knows that she’s my daughter. [edgy music plays] So Luna knows? How’d she react? She was shocked. She…couldn’t believe it. She broke down in tears. Her whole life, she’s wanted to know who her father was. It was emotional and intense. As intense as…killing two men and locking me in a cage? -Steffy, honey, I didn’t mean– -I cried too. Do you know that? I cried. I thought I was gonna die. I thought I was never gonna see Kelly or Hayes again, that I would never watch them grow up, that I would never hear their voice or be able to hold them in my arms. I cried for you. -Do you know that? -No, of course I do, honey. I– So when you were talking with Luna, when she was begging you to believe her, did she mention that she made me beg? Beg for my life? To be let go? Did she tell you that she enjoyed watching me cry? No. She didn’t. She’s not your sweet little girl. I get that this is hard for you that you weren’t part of her life. I get that that was difficult, but it doesn’t matter. She’s broken, Finn. She tried to destroy our-our family! God! She’s manipulating you and Bill. -Oh, my God. -Hey, whoa, Steffy, hold on. -Where are you going? -No. I’m going to Bill, and I’m gonna ask him why he brought that psychopath out of prison! -Okay, just listen– -No, no, do not try to stop me. Listen to me, Steffy. I love you. Okay? You. You are the most important person to me in this world. Just–sweetheart. Do not forget that. Do not forget that. I gotta go. [heavy music plays] Now, I wonder what the time could be. I don’t want you to miss your flight. I fly private. Plane takes off when I decide. What’s going on? Just having a little tete-à-tete. Yes. Daphne was just telling me about her plans to go back to Paris, and I think it is a wonderful idea. After all, the fragrance launch was a success, so we don’t really need her here anymore, right, Carter? Why don’t you tell her to leave for Paris? [moody music plays] My father. [crying] [door opens] It’s really true. You’re out of prison? Living here at Bill’s? -Wait. I-I can explain. -Save it. I don’t give a damn. You are not gonna get away with this. You killed two men. You drugged me and you left me to die. And I’m sorry, Steffy. I am so sorry. -I never wanted to hurt you. -Oh, my God! That is such a lie, Luna! You laughed in my face, remember? You laughed in my face when I begged you, begged you to let me go. -You tried to kill me. -I swear, that wasn’t me, okay? I would never do anything to cause you pain or any harm. Especially now. Especially now…what? Now that you found out my husband Finn is your father? Look, I-I realize that this is a shock for you. I-i-it’s a shock for me too. But-but it’s the truth. And it’s the most amazing gift. I mean, I can’t name anyone more remarkable and kind and caring than Finn. This is more than I could have ever dreamed of. What makes you think you deserve a dream like that, hmm? You don’t deserve any of that. Not Finn’s love, not his kindness, not his caring–none of it. So get that out of your head. You are a cold-blooded murderer who’s gonna spend the rest of your life in prison. So forget about Finn. Forget that you have a dad, because you don’t. You’re never…ever gonna see Finn again. [intense music escalates] -STEFFY: Here’s a look ahead. -Where do things stand now between you and Carter? The old Carter’s still in there. I hate that it came to this. -You cannot be serious, Bill. -I am. This lunatic tried to kill me! You went after my son! -You– -Aah– Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

[somber music plays] What more could you possibly tell me about Luna? She’s your daughter…with Poppy and she lied to you about it for years. But this is about Luna… and where she is right now. LUNA: I’ve always loved you. I always looked up to you. You were my cool older cousin, and you always made me feel so safe and seen. I can’t think of a better man than you. And now, to know that you’re my father, I mean, this is more than I could have ever wished for. BILL: Are you crying? What is it, Luna? What’s wrong? I still can’t believe that Luna Nozawa’s Finn’s daughter. Steffy’s already been through so much. I mean, when is it gonna end? When is she gonna have a normal, sane life? I know. What I’m worried about… what if Finn feels he has some kind of obligation to Luna, you know? Even if she’s in prison, he’s gonna try and do things for her, help her any way he can, and… it’s gonna hang over his marriage. -It’s not gonna go away. -Yeah, this could end up destroying what Steffy and Finn have together, no matter how hard they try not to let it. [somber music plays] HOPE: Be honest with me. Hell, be honest with yourself. You’ve developed feelings for him, haven’t you? And I’ll do you the favor. I won’t draw this out. Uh, I saw you. I saw you kissing Carter. [heavy music plays] Oh, in the CEO office. You and Carter. With the door open for anyone to walk in and see you kissing him. How could you do that, knowing… He’s the love of your life. Yes. Something that you’ve been aware of from day one. Oui. Yet, that didn’t stop you from making a move. I shouldn’t have done that. Just like you shouldn’t have convinced Carter to steal Forrester Creation from Ridge… Carter’s best friend. You heard Steffy. She hasn’t given up on Finn, even with all this stuff going on. I know, but I-I still think we were right trying to convince her to come here with the kids and stay here with us at Eric’s. And I think Steffy sees that, but then there’s a whole other part where she wants to face everything with Finn because they love each other so much. We know how much they love each other, more than ever. But Finn is asking Steffy to accept things that no wife should ever have to accept. I just–I just wanna know that she’s safe. Her and the kids. She is safe because–I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but Luna is actually in prison. I realize that that should be really comforting to me, but the fact remains that Finn has two dangerous, psychopathic family members. Hayes has a grandmother and half-sister who– I just hope our little grandson never has to know who Luna is or that she even exists. Luna, what happened? You can talk to me. You gotta know that by now. There’s nothing you can say that will shock me. STEFFY: We know where Luna is right now. She’s in prison paying for her crimes. God, I-I can’t even fathom that… that Luna’s even related to you. I mean, you’ve never done a cruel thing in your life, -but Luna, she’s– -Well, she could never catch a break, Steffy. Her life has been in constant turmoil. Finn, you’re not responsible for that. You didn’t know she was yours. No. But now that I do… [sighs] That’s what I need to talk to you about. What happens now. [uneasy music plays] [laughs] I-I am… impressed by the audacity. You knew that Carter was in a committed relationship, and yet, you kissed him anyway. -I was wrong. -Yes, you were. But instead, you wanna make this about Carter and I taking over Forrester Creations. Carter’s conscience is weighing on him. The fact that you haven’t noticed, or have, but can’t admit it to yourself– Okay, stop. Stop. What we are going to do is turn this around on me when you are the one– Who crossed a line. Yes. And I’ve admitted that. But what about you, Hope? You say that you care about Carter– I do care about him. Who are you to question that? Obviously, he’s very important to you. So let me ask you something, mon cher. Have you listened to him? Like really listened? Because if you had, you would realize that he isn’t happy with what the two of you have done. It’s just…it’s just too much to put on Steffy. Yes, it’s a shock to Finn too, but what he’s asking of her, of their marriage… Yeah. Most wives would have bolted already. -[softly] Yeah. -But not Steffy. She stands by her man. She’s one of the strongest people we know. But even the strongest people– -Strongest people break. Yes. -Yeah. She’s just going through so much right now, you know? Dealing with everything at Forrester, and then Finn’s latest discovery. I know she’s determined not to let it affect her family. That’s a lot of pressure and stress. Oh. Yeah. And don’t get me wrong–I don’t blame Finn. I love how he loves our daughter. But he’s just bringing dangerous people into Steffy’s life. Luna’s just the latest. You’re always so worried about me, how I’m doing, how I’m feeling. Well, I feel a responsibility, -as your– -Jailer? [both laugh] I hope you don’t see me that way. No. Of course not. You saved me from a life behind bars. From brutal beatings and, worst of all, no hope. I’m forever gonna be grateful to you for that. You know, uh… I did have some…trepidation about this working. Could I trust you? But so far, so good. I think. You think? Well, when I walked in here and saw you emotional, it reminded me how much we opened up to each other but that there still might be some things you wanna share with me… …but haven’t -yet. -Uh… let’s just say that for once in my life, I feel like I have a… real shot at a future. One where I can reconnect with my family. [moody music plays] “What happens now”? To be honest, Finn, I’ve barely started to process what happened, much less… work through how I feel. It’s a lot. [sighs] I know. For me too. Yeah, especially for you. But like I told my parents, I’m not going anywhere. We’re gonna face this together. It’s not gonna be easy, but… God, I’m just… I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I just–I feel awful. And I’m just–I… I’ve upset you and… I’ve turned your life… upside down again. I’m sorry. Oh, babe. FINN: [whispers] God. [somber music plays] You…know…nothing about what Carter and I share. Of course, I listen to him. Then you should know how tormented he is about what he’s done. What he’s done is revitalize this company, tapped into its true potential. You’re proud of him for it. As well as you should be. Carter’s a remarkable businessman. Yes, he is. And you’re no longer fired. You’ve benefitted. Hope for the Future is back. What are you implying, Daphne? Are you implying that I’m using Carter? Finn and the kinda guy he is, I-I bet he woulda done anything -to spare Steffy. -I know. I know. He cherishes Steffy and their life together. If it weren’t for Sheila and Luna– They’d be walking around LA, this beautiful couple, not worrying about anything, just living their life instead of this siege. An attack on their relationship. Another test that they have to overcome. Why do Steffy and Finn have to be tested over and over again? They deserve some peace. It’s– God knows it’s long overdue. But at least she has us to lean on. We’ll keep her safe. And so will Finn. As long as he doesn’t let Luna get into his head like Sheila did. Then again…maybe she won’t, because you’re right. She’s in jail for the rest of her life. You know how they say your life can change in an instant? When you least expect it, something can happen and suddenly everything’s so different? Well, that’s kind of how it was for you, right, when you thought I was your father? Well, yeah, this whole new world opened up to me… until the truth came out and… I lost control. I couldn’t deal. But…I’m thinking of something else now. Someone else. Who? I know that it seems impossible, -but what if it’s not true? -What if what’s not true? What if my mom isn’t my only living parent? What if my father is out there, waiting for me? STEFFY: I’m trying, Finn. I really am. And as much as I wanna be a supporting, loving wife, this whole thing with Luna is… it’s incredibly hard. I know. And again, I’m so sorry. If I could spare you from this, I would. No, no, no, no, this isn’t you, Finn. This is all Poppy. She’s to blame. She took advantage of you, lying to you when she turned up pregnant. And I’m so sorry that you had to deal with something like that. And now here you are, left with the shocking realization that you have an adult daughter and it’s the same woman who tried to kill me, your wife. [somber music plays] You’re accusing me of using Carter. You’ve gotten everything you wanted… ever since Carter went against his nature, stole Forrester Creation from his best friend. You know who you’re starting to sound like? Steffy. She has used those exact words against me numerous times. Ha. And you couldn’t be more wrong about me. Was I, uh, humiliated at how my line was canceled, at how I was fired, at how I was paraded around in front of my coworkers to– to humiliate me? Yes, yes, I was. But that is because Steffy had a vendetta. So if you are going to accuse me of running after Carter and pretending to care about him… …you’d be wrong. Do not take my love and twist it to fit your warped narrative. I care about that man more than you know. So you… are not going to make another play for him. Tu comprends? [tense music plays] You know what? I’d be more worried if Luna wasn’t in jail. But knowing that she can’t hurt Steffy again… it helps me to rest a little easier. We all can. We can all rest. Especially Steffy. -Your father’s waiting for you? -[laughs] Yes. Okay, Luna, look, I-I know you don’t wanna believe that Tom Starr’s your father and you say that you feel it in your bones– I do. I always have. And for once in my life, I know without a doubt that I’m right. LUNA: I still can’t believe 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. [emotional music plays] I already asked so much of you… your understanding most of all, and to ask more would be… Finn, none of this is your fault. What happened with Luna is not…your fault. She wanted me out of the way. She locked me in the cage and left me in a building that was gonna be demolished. -Help. Help me! -I thought I was gonna die. Help me! I’m in here. I was gonna be buried in the rubble, and no one would ever find me. As hard as I try not to think about it, it– It still haunts me. I think like… what if Luna succeeded? I wouldn’t be able to see you again or Kelly or Hayes. And I thank God… I thank God that… that never happened… because of you. You saved me. [intense music swells] Oh, please get me out of here. Thank God I found you. I got you, okay? Your love saved me. So I don’t… I don’t blame you for being Luna’s father. I don’t blame you for being Sheila’s son. Do I wish it weren’t true? Yeah. – [Finn chuckles] -I wish they never came into our lives, but… I’m sure this is incredibly hard for you. And I know this is really confusing for you… to know that you have an adult daughter. -Yeah. -Finn. If it were anybody but Luna– anyone… I know she’s your daughter. But can we just… get Luna out of our minds? She’s locked up in prison. We don’t have to deal with her. I don’t wanna–I don’t wanna think or talk about her ever again. Can we do that? Please? [whispers] Please. [intense music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

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.
