In Bill’s living room, Finn talks to Steffy in absentia, worried about her. Bill returns, so they talk about how Luna’s doing. Finn got a “vibe” from her, and Bill mentioned that she needs extra care, so Bill tells him about Luna kissing him and how he feels bad for her. He thinks the kisses were due to all of the terrible things going on in her life. He tells Finn that he offered to pay for a therapist, but she’s not ready yet. Finn is alarmed. He then gets an alert on his phone that it’s pairing with Steffy’s nearby phone, so they find it in on the table near the door. It’s on Do Not Disturb. Now he’s very worried, knowing she would never leave town without her phone. Bill offers help to find Steffy, but Finn tells him to watch over Luna.

Finn meets with Li at the hospital. He has jumped to the conclusion that Luna might be behind the murders and Steffy’s disappearance. They discuss it and realize Luna has just as much motive as Poppy.

At Luna and Poppy’s apartment, Steffy lies in her cage, exhausted, weak from hunger and thirst. Luna is nearby. Steffy tries again to get Luna to see reason and to let her out. Luna ignores her please and says that no one is going to stop her. Steffy asks her to think about her mom, or RJ. Luna says that RJ is just a boy. She tells Steffy about having sex with Zende and how it was the best sex of her life. She completely fooled everyone by pretending to be drugged and sleeping with him. Steffy realizes that she then used the drugs on Hollis and her dad. She calls Luna a psycho and yells at her furiously to let her out, shaking the bars of her cage.

Luna says that it’s been “days” since Steffy had anything to eat our drink.  Luna leaves, taunting Steffy that she’s going to spend time with Bill. Steffy yells, to no avail. She looks way more desperate, weak and discouraged.

Bill and Luna chat at home. They both talk about their respective visits with Poppy in jail. Luna whines to Bill about how upset she’s been, so they hug.

At work, Finn talks to Steffy’s picture, wondering where she is. Flavia from Monte Carlo phones and tells him that Steffy never made it there to her clinic (I assume it’s like a spa). Finn is now concerned. He visits Bill. He doesn’t mention the clinic, but they catch up on what’s been going on with him and Steffy. He says that Liam and Bill were the last to see Steffy. Bill has no clue as to where Steffy went. Luna returns just then, asking Bill if he wants to join her for a swim, surprising Finn. Bill reminds him that Luna is staying there. She asks Bill to help her with the TV in her room, so Bill goes with her. Finn looks a bit suspicious, but his main focus is worrying about Steffy.

We see many flashbacks to Steffy and Finn.

RJ and Ridge chat about how Steffy hasn’t been testing or answering phone calls. Ridge is getting very worried. They joke around, briefly, about Ridge being over-protective with his kids. RJ is concerned about Luna because she’s been distant lately and seems to only be interested in spending time with Bill. They both clearly think this is odd.

Steffy remembers what happened and demands to be let out of the cage. She yells for help and pounds on the cage. They argue. Steffy realizes that Luna wants Bill for herself, so that’s why she frames her mother for the murders. Luna admits she did it all, and she’s gotten away with it. She won’t let Steffy tell anyone. Steffy goes back to screaming, and pounding on the cage.

After Taylor and Brooke have left, Ridge and Brooke chat briefly about Hope kissing Finn. Brooke assures him that she’ll make sure that Hope knows she crossed the line. They start to kiss when RJ comes in to tell them that Bill isn’t Luna’s father after all. Katie comes in, so they fill her in on Bill not being Luna’s daughter. They rehash what has happened lately with Bill, Poppy and Luna. They all seem convinced that Poppy is guilty, except for RJ, who’s not sure. However, they all feel bad about Luna. RJ talks about how he’s concerned about Luna and mentions that she said she and Bill need each other, and she’s staying with him at his place, even though they’re not father and daughter. The others look curious, like this seems strange to them.

Bill tells Luna again that she can’t kiss him like that. Steffy, in the entryway, looks shocked to hear that Bill isn’t her father. Luna tells him that no one’s ever been so kind to her like this before. Steffy keeps listening in and shakes her head angrily. She can tell that Luna is manipulating Bill. Luna adjusts her makeup in the mirror, so then she sees Steffy there. She is stunned and looks unsure of what to do. Bill again sympathizes with what she’s going through and offers to get her psychiatric help. He tells her again that he’s there for her as a father. She leaves, saying she has “work stuff.” Steffy hides so Luna won’t see her. She sneaks out after Luna leaves, but she leaves her phone behind.

Steffy follows Luna to her apartment. Luna yells at herself for being so careless. Steffy comes in just then and tells Luna that she knows what she’s up to. Luna plays innocent, as usual. Steffy tells her that she knows she kissed Bill. She warns Luna to think about what she did and how wrong it was. Luna makes two glasses of iced tea and offers one to Steffy. Luna pretends to be mortified that she saw her kiss Bill. Steffy continues to try to find out why Luna would do this. Luna just watches while Steffy drinks the tea. Then she talks about how she and Bill share the common experience of what happened with her mom being in jail, and how they need each other, so she supposes that’s why she kissed him. Steffy doesn’t buy it and is surprised when Luna mentions that her mom might have killed the two guys at Il Giardino. Steffy stresses that she doesn’t seem like the Luna she knows. She realizes that Luna has risen fast from interning at Forrester to living at the Spencer Estate. Steffy figures out what Luna has been up to. Luna doesn’t say anything, so Steffy realizes that she’s right. Then she gets dizzy and passes out. Luna looks down at her in a creepy way and then sighs deeply.

Li visits Bill at his request. Bill tells her that Luna isn’t his daughter and that they took two more paternity tests. Li is shocked, but he asks her if she manipulated the original test results. Li denies it vehemently. Eventually, he believes her. He wonders who rigged the test. She’s not sure if Poppy did that or not, but she doesn’t believe that she’s a murderer. She thinks Poppy was framed. He wonders who would set up Poppy.
