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.

Update written by Brenda

At Il Giardino, R.J. tells Katie that Luna found Tom’s backpack in her apartment and that inside the backpack were letters from Tom to Poppy claiming that Tom was Luna’s biological father. Katie wonders if Poppy is capable of murder.

Poppy returns to the apartment so that they can clear things up. Luna wants to know how the backpack got into their apartment. Poppy says she wants to know too and repeats that she had nothing to do with the deaths at Il Giardino.

At Bill’s house, Bill is less than enthusiastic about a huge contract that Liam has brought to him. Bill admits that he is concerned about Poppy.

Sheila massages Deacons shoulders and observes that he seems especially stressed. He says business has to pick up because it has been slow since Tom and Hollis died. She says it will. She asks what Katie asked him. He says he isn’t sure what she was getting at, but it was about Hollis and Tom’s deaths, and it had something to do with the new lady in Bill Spencer’s life.

At Bill’s house, Liam wonders what happened with Poppy between this morning and now. Bill isn’t sure, but he can tell that something is troubling Poppy.

At Il Giardino, Sheila wonders what about Poppy. Deacon says he gets the feeling that Katie is not a fan. Sheila says Bill’s ex is probably jealous. Deacon doesn’t know about that, but he does know that they aren’t the only ones wondering what really happened. Sheila blames herself again for not listening to Hollis that night because the answers they’re looking for could have been in Tom’s backpack.

At the apartment, Luna says the backpack didn’t appear out of thin air. Poppy says she doesn’t understand it either, but it wasn’t her; she had nothing to do with it.

At Il Giardino’s patio bar, Katie asks R.J. if Poppy killed Tom and Hollis. R.J. can’t imagine that Poppy did it. Katie admits that it’s a terrible accusation but asks who else would have wanted them dead. R.J. tells Katie that Poppy met with Tom the night that he died.

Liam tells Bill that since he and Poppy are happy together, it means that whatever is going on with her has nothing to do with him. Bill wishes Poppy felt like she could confide in him. Liam is certain that eventually Poppy will come to him with it, but they were both thrust into this new life together at warp speed. Bill says he isn’t having a problem adjusting to it. Liam says having a daughter has softened Bill – in a good way. Bill says having Poppy and Luna in his world has enriched his life in ways that he could never have imagined. He tells Liam to give it some time and he, Wyatt and Will are going to feel the same way.

In the office at Il Giardino, Sheila recalls how adamant Hollis was about showing her Tom’s backpack. Deacon thinks Hollis must have thought Tom’s death wasn’t an accident. Sheila says she just wanted that filthy thing out of there, and now it’s long gone, along with any clues that might have been inside it. She says that is on her.

At the apartment, Luna presses Poppy to explain how Tom’s backpack got there. Poppy repeats that it wasn’t her. She says Luna knows her better than anyone and asks her to believe that she would never hurt anyone, let alone take a life. Luna says she believes it wasn’t Poppy.

At the Il Giardino patio, R.J. tells Katie that Poppy said something to Luna about taking matters into her own hands. Katie concludes that Poppy had motive and opportunity, and she is a known drug user, and now two men are dead. R.J. says they overdosed. Katie asks what if they didn’t know they were ingesting drugs. What if it was intentional cold-blooded murder? Katie asks R.J. if he saw any evidence of drugs in Tom’s backpack. He says he didn’t look. He doesn’t see how Poppy would need to eliminate Tom when she is certain that Bill is Luna’s father. He tells his aunt that they can’t accuse people without facts. She agrees and says it could all be a horrible coincidence, but the more she hears, the less she believes that is the case. R.J.’s pizza arrives. He tells Katie to be careful with the information she has. She says she will. R.J. leaves. Deacon and Sheila come out to the patio. Sheila says Deacon told her that Katie had questions about Tom and Hollis. Sheila says she was the last person to see Hollis alive. Katie asks if Hollis said anything about Tom. Sheila said Hollis wanted her to see Tom’s backpack. Katie excitedly asks if Sheila saw the backpack. Sheila wants to know why Katie is so interested in Tom’s belongings. Katie says two men are dead because of drug overdose. Sheila says Tom never did drugs while he was working there. Deacon says Tom had a history of drug use, but he was transparent about it, and he was clean. Katie asks about Hollis. Sheila says Hollis never did drugs in his life. Deacon says Hollis barely ever drank. Katie wonders how he died of an overdose. Sheila says they keep asking the same question. Deacon says everything seems off since their deaths, even the place doesn’t feel the same. He says they weren’t just employees; they were friends. Katie says she is sorry for their loss. Sheila asks if Katie knew Hollis and Tom well. Katie says she knew Hollis a little bit. She said Tom lived an interesting life. Deacon says Tom went from rock star to the streets and back again. He says Tom was a real mensch. Katie says it’s too bad that they both died so suddenly. Sheila says it’s heartbreaking. She says if Katie is wondering about Tom’s backpack, it’s probably in a landfill. Deacon says he is sure Katie has a lot of questions just as he does, but he has to get back to work. Sheila and Deacon leave Katie at the bar. Katie calls Chief Baker and says she thinks she has evidence regarding the deaths at Il Giardino.

At Bill’s house, Bill tells Liam that in his book, Poppy can do no wrong. Liam says Bill has got it bad. Bill says Poppy id beautiful, warm, loving, and patient. Liam says patience is the one she will need the most. Bill protests that he is the new easygoing version of himself. Liam says he is happy that Poppy and Luna got to skip ahead to the chill Bill. Bill says they deserve it. They all deserve it. He couldn’t do it without his boys. Liam says he won’t have to. They all support him and want what’s best for everyone. Bill says the best is yet to come.

At Poppy and Luna’s apartment, Poppy says they should go back to Bill’s. Luna says she is getting an eerie feeling just being there. Poppy says Luna doesn’t have to go back to the apartment again. She says that’s their past and Bill is their future.

Katie rushes into Bill’s house. Bill says he is glad she is there because he’s been wanting to talk to her about Poppy. She says she wants to talk to him about Poppy too. She says she has to listen to what she has to say because his life could depend on it.

Deacon is in the office at Il Giardino. Sheila brings him a bowl of her grandmother’s recipe chicken stew guaranteed to cure stress and ease a worried mind. He takes a big bite and chokes on it, gasping that it is too spicy. Sheila brings him milk and apologizes, saying her father liked it spicy. When he recovers, he says he is coming to terms with the fact that Tom and Hollis are not coming back. Sheila says no, but there is an open investigation and maybe someone will find out why they aren’t with them any longer and justice will be served if there was foul play. Deacon observes that Katie seemed very interested in the case. Sheila says she doesn’t quite understand why and asks if Deacon does. He doesn’t either, but all her questions lead to Bill’s new girlfriend.

At Bill’s house, Katie tells Bill that he thinks he could be in trouble. She says she just found out something disturbing. Bill tells Katie to leave Poppy alone. Katie tells Bill not to shut her down because what she has to say is important. He says he already knows. She says she doesn’t think he understands what he has gotten himself into. She says this is serious. She says she is not trying to intimidate his girlfriend or hurt her feelings, but she thinks his life could be in jeopardy. She says she thinks his life could be in danger because of Poppy. He asks her what she is talking about. Katie says Tom Starr played at the music festival the night Bill met Poppy and Luna was supposedly conceived. She says she knows about Poppy’s mints that are really drugs. Bill interjects that Poppy doesn’t do drugs anymore and asks where Katie is going with this. Katie says Tom showed up again with a backpack full of letters claiming to be Luna’s father. Bill says he knows; Poppy told him. Katie says Poppy saw Tom the night he died, shortly before he collapsed onstage, and asks if he doesn’t think that’s strange. He says he thinks she is being strange. Katie asks him why Poppy waited decades to do a paternity test and then when they did get the test they immediately moved in and cashed in on the Spencer empire. She speculates that Tom Starr resurfaced and continued to claim to be Luna’s father, Poppy met with him and suddenly he died, then Hollis had Tom’s backpack, read the letters, and became a liability, but before he could say anything he overdosed too, on the same drugs that killed Tom.

Poppy enters Bill’s house and hears Katie tell Bill two men are dead, and his life could be in jeopardy. She says Poppy is dangerous. Bill asks her what she is saying. He asks her if she thinks Poppy is a murderer. She says, “Yes.”

At the Forrester creations, Katie asks Brooke if Monte Carlo was as exciting and glamorous as it looks in the pictures. Brooke says yes, and that they had the best time. Carter says it was a successful time and that the social media drop was a hit. R.J. says it still is and that he and Hope are thrilled for Brooke. Brooke says she saw Hope when she got home and that Donna has been blowing up her phone. Ridge says Brooke’s Bedroom is back and better than ever.

At Bill’s house, Liam tells Bill that it’s great that Will is back in Los Angeles. Bill says the timing could have been better and explains that Will walked in on him and Poppy in the bedroom. Liam feels sorry for Will. Bill says that if that weren’t bad enough, Luna came home, and he asked Will to hug his new sister. Liam thinks that was a bit much. Bill is certain that Will will come to love Poppy and Luna once he gets to know them. Bill thinks he is lucky to have those two remarkable women in his life.

At their apartment, Luna tells Poppy that she still can’t believe Tom’s backpack with all his stuff in it is in their apartment. Poppy swears that she has no idea how it got there. Luns asks if she understands correctly that Tom harassed Poppy with letters and claims of being Luna’s father for Luna’s entire life. Poppy says yes and adds that Bill knows about it and understands. She says she needs Luna to understand too.

At Forrester, R.J. and Carter are still looking at their phones watching Brookes Bedroom trending on social media. Ridge tells Carter that they need to ramp up their production. Carter says it’s already in the works with new target dates set. Ridge asks if they missed anything while they were gone. Carter observes that they weren’t gone very long. Brooke asks if there has been any news about the deaths at Il Giordino.

At Il Giordino, Deacon talks to a reporter on the phone. He asks the person to let their readers know that Il Giordino has been given the all-clear. He assures the person that Il Giordino will survive this dark chapter. He says the hardest part was losing two friends and opines that the reporter should be asking why it happened.

At Bill’s house, Liam asks where Will is. Bill says Will is staying with his mom. Liam concludes that Will must not have felt welcome at Bill’s place. Bill says he thinks it will take a little time for Will to accept that he has a sister. Liam adds that Will must also accept that his sister’s mom lives with Bill instead of his own mother.

At their apartment, Poppy tells Luna that she always felt that Bill was her father, but it was such a relief to find out for sure and eliminate the lingering concern that Tom might have been right. Luna asks Poppy if she knew that Tom was in Los Angeles or that he was working at Il Giordino. Poppy tells her that she and Bill went there on a date and Tom accidentally spilled water on them. She says he also delivered a pizza to the house. Luna remembers Poppy being upset and says that it makes sense now. She remembers seeing a flyer on the pizza box advertising a concert. Poppy says that’s right, and that’s when she decided to take matters into her own hands. Luna asks her mother just what she means by that.

At Forrester, Carter makes a phone call and reports that there is nothing new on the Il Giordino case. Brooke asks if the police think the deaths were accidental. Carter says they’re investigating all possibilities. Ridge says not all possibilities; they released Sheila. R.J. thinks it must have been Sheila. Katie thinks the police need to find out who is responsible for Tom and Hollis’s deaths soon; before someone else gets hurt. Carter says it may have been accidental. Katie says they should all be on guard until they know for sure. Katie says she needs to be someplace and leaves.

St Bill’s house, Liam tells Bill that Will is resilient and he’ll come around. Bill says Will is going to have to because he doesn’t intend to hide how much he is enjoying his new life with Poppy and Luna. Liam observes that having a daughter has changed Bill. Bill agrees. Liam says it’s nice to see his father happy. Bill says it is all thanks to Poppy.

At the apartment, Luna repeats that Poppy said she was taking matters into her own hands. Poppy clarifies she meant stopping him from spreading lies, not killing him! She says she told Tom that he had to stop sending letters and insisting that he was Luna’s father. She confirms to Luna that the conversation happened the same night that Tom died. Luna wonders why Poppy never told her about it. Poppy says she was protecting Luna. She didn’t want to burden Luna with the knowledge that Tom was out there, but now this backpack is mysteriously in their apartment. She speculates that Tom brought it in when everyone else was moving out, possibly wanting Luna to find it. She says all she knows for certain is that Bill is Luna’s father. Luna observes that the only person who could question that is dead. Poppy insists she had nothing to do with Tom’s death or the other man’s either. Poppy says Luna must trust and believe in her mother. She says they need to get through this like they always do. Poppy heads out to go to Bill’s house while Luna stays at the apartment.

Katie charges into Il Giordino and tells Deacon that she has questions about the deaths that happened there.

At Forrester, Brooke wonders if anyone else thought Katie seemed “off.” Carter goes to check on Katie. R.J. receives a text from Luna and says he has to leave too. Ridge tells R.J. not to forget to pick up their pizza. After R.J. exits, Ridge asks Brooke if she is leaving too. She says she is exactly where she is supposed to be.

At Il Giordino, Deacon asks Katie what she wants to know. She offers her condolences for the loss of his friends and then mentions Sheila being questioned and released. He says if she is there to accuse his wife, she can leave. She says no, she is wondering about Bill’s new girlfriend, Poppy.

Poppy goes to Bill’s house. She tells him that she has missed him. He says he has missed her too and asks how things are going at the apartment.

R.J. arrives at the apartment and sees that Luna is visibly shaken. He asks if he did something to upset her. She says she doesn’t want to keep anything from him and deal with that feeling of guilt ever again. He asks if she has done something to feel guilty about. She says not her; she is worried that someone else has. She shows R.J. the backpack and the letters and tells him that Tom believed he was her father. R.J. says he can see how that would be upsetting. She says the thing that upsets her the most is that she doesn’t know how the backpack got in her apartment. R.J. wonders if Luna suspects her mother. Luna says no, her mother would never hurt anyone, but she doesn’t know what to think.

At Bill’s house, Poppy tells Bill that being in the apartment reminded her how much she appreciates being with him. She says she doesn’t want to lose him. He says he is committed to her and their daughter.

At Il Giordino, Deacon surmises that Katie has a problem with the new woman in Bill’s life. He says Bill was a fool to let Katie get away. Katie insists that she isn’t jealous; she is concerned for Bill. She says she has a weird feeling about Poppy. Deacon says Poppy seems normal enough to him, aside from the fact that she likes Bill. Katie asks Deacon if he doesn’t find it odd that Poppy waited over twenty years to tell Bill that he might have a daughter. And the fact that they moved in with Bill so quickly is weird.

R.J. arrives at Il Giordino to pick up Ridge’s pizza and sees Katie talking to Deacon. Deacon tells Katie it might be a little weird, but he doesn’t see what it has to do with him or Hollis and Tom. Deacon’s phone rings. R.J. tells Katie about the backpack and the letters. Katie asks R.J. if she is right that Poppy killed Hollis and Tom.

At Bill’s house, Poppy holds onto Bill.

He says he knows Steffi has been riding Hope a little but is stressed out too. She is carrying the family legacy, and it is up to her to ensure the company’s health well into the future.

Brookes Bedroom promotional video rolls on social media and billboards around the world.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke and Ridge field questions from the press.

At Forrester Creations, Steffi, Carter, Zende, Hope, and Katie gather in Steffi’s office. Carter takes a phone call and then announces that Brooke and Ridge made a splash in Monte Carlo. Hope gloats about how her mother’s line is going to be good for the company. Steffi says she hopes so but cautions against getting ahead of themselves. Hope says she has a feeling that her mother is going to be a big hit… again. Carter says the buzz is great, but they need to see a significant impact from the social media drive. Steffi says they need to ensure this campaign gives them the financial boost that they need. Hope thinks Steffi’s hesitation is because of her feelings about Brooke. Steffi says her personal feelings have nothing to do with it. She says she wants this launch to be everything that everyone is hoping for and more. But they will have to wait and see.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke is nervous as she and Ridge wait to see if their video is going to trend or go viral. Ridge is sure that it will. He says Brooke has always been the element that made Brooke’s Bedroom popular because she’s honest and embraces everything about herself.

In Steffi’s office, Carter tells Zende that he’s impressed that he put together the Brookes Bedroom video in less than 48 hours. Steffi agrees that Zende did well. Zende says he believes in the reboot. Kate says she believes in it too. Hope chimes in that Brooke has always been popular with customers and buyers. Carter says he’s a numbers guy and he needs to see orders to confirm the success of the launch. Hope thinks everyone should be as confident as she is in her mother.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke poses for a selfie with a fan,

At Forrester, Steffi wonders if any orders are coming in yet. She is on edge because Hope for the Future’s sales are down, and they are not getting as much foot traffic at the bricks and mortar stores while the rents are going up. She says word has gotten out that Thomas is no longer designing for Hope for the Future. Hope blamed Steffi for that. Carter says Steffi’s main concern as Co-CEO is the financial well-being of the company.

Brooke and Ridge are in Monte Carlo for the Global Fashion Summit, waiting for their big “Brooke’s Bedroom” launch.

Hope goes into Steffi’s office and announces that it’s her mom’s big day. Steffi says it’s a big day for everyone because the company has poured millions of dollars into the “Brooke’s Bedroom” line. Steffi says the social media drop was good and that she hopes it won’t be a flop. Hope assures her that it won’t be a flop. Steffi says it’s been a challenging time for Forrester Creations, in large part because of the drain from “Hope for the Future.” She says she is hoping that “Brooke’s Bedroom” can turn things around.

At Poppy and Luna’s apartment, Luna wonders why Tom’s backpack is there, what the letters mean, and if Poppy drugged Tom. She demands to know if her mother killed Tom Starr to prevent Bill from finding out he might not be Luna’s father.

Zende goes to Steffi’s office and asks why she isn’t in Monaco. She says she forgot her passport. She tells Zende and Carter that she wants to discuss “Hope for the Future” after “Brookes Bedroom” drops.

Hope goes to her desk and rubs her temples while she thinks about the prospect of Steffi cutting the “Hope for the Future” line. Finn comes up behind her and puts his hands on her arms. He asks her if she wants him to work his magic.

In Monaco, the guide takes Brooke and Ridge to join the other Summit attendees. Brooke is nervous.

At the apartment, Poppy assures Luna that she is Bill’s daughter, not Tom’s. Luna notes that Poppy is evading her question. She asks again if Poppy killed Tom.

In Steffi’s office, Steffi tells Zende and Carter that while she is disappointed that she didn’t go to Monaco, it gave her time to focus on other things, like “Hope for the Future.” Zende says he and R.J. have been working day and night doing their best. Steffi says she knows that and acknowledges that they are fantastic designers, but she feels like the line has been a little chaotic lately. Carter interjects that sales have been on a downturn. Steffi says Hope promised that she would turn things around, but the last two quarters have been down. Zende admits they aren’t quite there yet and asks for a little more time. Brooke says she can’t guarantee it, but she and Carter will discuss it. They return to the topic of Brooke’s bedroom and hope the revamp is successful. Steffi wonders what is taking Finn so long to come back from taking a phone call.

In Hope’s office, Finn sees that Hope is stressed and massages her temples, neck, and shoulders. She tells him not to stop. He kisses her deeply. Katie walks in and interrupts Hope’s daydream to tell her that “Brooke’s Bedroom” is about to drop.

In Monaco, the Global Fashion Summit kicks off with Ridge introducing himself and Brooke and talking a bit about their history before turning the lectern over to Brooke.

In the apartment, Luna demands an answer. Poppy says of course she didn’t kill Tom; she would never kill anyone. She wonders how Luna could even ask such a thing. Luna asks what she is supposed to think after seeing all those letters from Tom claiming to be her father. Poppy assures Luna that Bill is her father. Luna still wonders why Tom’s backpack is in their apartment and why it was hidden out of sight. She says that the whole situation with a man from Poppy’s past showing up and ending up dead scares her.

Finn returns to Steffi’s office after his phone consultation concludes. Katie and Hope go into Steffi’s office to watch the drop. Katie tells everyone that her son Will is back in town. She compliments Zende on the social media video.

Brooke takes her turn to talk up Ridge’s fine qualities that brought them to this point. She announces that “Brooke’s Bedroom” is back, modeled by Brooke. She says age is just a number and beauty lies within, and it transcends time. She says people just need to embrace the changes in themselves, in their lives. She says life is amazing and everyone is perfectly imperfect. We are all bold. We’re all beautiful. Everyone takes out their phone to see the social media drop as Brooke counts down five… four… three… two… Brooke’s Bedroom!

At the apartment, Luna says she hates questioning Poppy, but now she is questioning everything, like why she never wanted to say who Luna’s father was. Poppy says she was protecting Luna because she didn’t know how Bill would react to having a child. Luna says Bill loves her and Poppy kept them in the dark for no reason. Poppy says she knows that now but didn’t know it back then. Luna says nothing is adding up. She asks her mother to be straight with her and tell her everything. Poppy insists that she did not kill Tom Starr. Luna asks Poppy to explain the backpack. Poppy says she has no idea how it got in their apartment. Luna concludes it didn’t appear out of nowhere. She says Poppy has done drugs in the past and the deaths at Il Giordino were drug overdoses. She says that even Katie accused Poppy. Poppy says Katie was wrong and Tom was also wrong to have insisted that he was Luna’s father. Poppy says she knows Luna is upset, scared, and confused, and she is too, but that Luna has to believe her when she says she had nothing to do with those deaths. Poppy tells Luna that they can’t talk about this to anybody. It has to stay their secret.

The “Brooke’s Bedroom” video promotion launches on social media and billboards around the world simultaneously.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke says she is accustomed to launching the lines on the runway. She wonders if everyone will see the video. Ridge assures her that everyone will see it. He says that right now is about celebrating Brooke. He says he is proud of her and lucky to have her.

Someone in the distance concealing their identity under a black scarf watches Brooke and Ridge as they kiss.

On the plane, Ridge is upset that Steffi lost her passport and couldn’t go to Monaco with them. Brooke assures him that they will make the best of it like they always do and will have a wonderful time in Monaco.

At Forrester Creations in Steffi’s office, Steffi tells Finn that she really wanted to go to Monaco. He says he knows she is disappointed, but he is selfishly happy to have her there in his arms. Hope eavesdrops at the door.

At Bill’s house, Poppy feels terrible. Bill tells her that Will will cool down. Luna says she didn’t mean to cause any trouble.

At Forrester Creations someone knocks on Katie’s office door. She is excited to see Will when she opens it.

At Il Giordino, Deacon and Sheila are glad that Sheila is back from being questioned by the police. Shelia tells him that she agrees that the overdose deaths were probably not accidental.

At Bills house, Bill tells Poppy and Luna that neither of then did anything wrong and that Will should not have behaved that way. Poppy says it was a lot for Will to deal with. She tells him to imagine walking into his childhood home and finding two strangers. Bill tells her that they are not strangers; they are part of the family.
In Katie’s office, Will tells Katie that he didn’t call first because he wanted to surprise her.

On the plane, Brooke tells Ridge not to let Steffi’s absence ruin his trip. He says it won’t, but this trip was important to Steffi. Brooke reminds him that they have an appointment with the prince as soon as they land so they couldn’t wait for Steffi. She is sure that Steffi will make good use of her time in Los Angeles.
Hope goes into Steffi’s office so Finn says he is going to go. Hope says he can stay since he will hear the news anyway. Finn asks, “What news?” Hope can’t wait to tell him that Steffi is threatening to cut funding for Hope’s “Hope for the Future” line.

At Katie’s office, Will tells his mother that he had already been to his father’s house, but that it didn’t go well. He reveals that Bill was in bed and not alone. Katie concludes that must have been awkward. He said it was weird seeing another woman in their house and it made him feel out of place, and then to make matters worse, Bill’s new daughter came in and called Bill “Dad.” He says he knows he was gone for a long time, but who are these people taking over their house and family?

At Bill’s house, Bill tells Luna that Will is going to have to accept the fact that she is Bill’s daughter. Luna doesn’t want to push it on Will. Poppy thinks they should just put it on hold for now. She says she thinks she and Luna should go back to their apartment for now because she doesn’t want to make Will feel uncomfortable in his own home. She says they still have some packing to do anyway.

On the plane, Ridge informs Brooke that they are ahead of schedule and will arrive in Monaco early. Brooke wonders if they will have time for sightseeing before their appointment. He suggests that they go to the hotel. They kiss. She says that since it’s their special little getaway, they can do whatever they want, and make a little time for work. Ridge says Brooke is going to take the world by storm. They kiss some more.

In Steffi’s office, Finn asks Steffi if she is really cutting “Hope for the Future.” Steffi tells Hope that they already have discussed it. Hope says she felt attacked. Steffi says it isn’t her job to make Hope understand; her job is to keep the cash flowing and the lights on, and she doesn’t need to baby Hope. She says the numbers have been steadily trending downward. Finn interjects that he is sure that Steffi will make the right decision for the company, but he can see how it would be upsetting to Hope.

At Katie’s office, she tells Will that she is sorry he didn’t have a better homecoming at his dad’s house. He says he didn’t realize that Luna and Poppy were essentially living at Bill’s house. Will thinks the whole situation is weird. He can’t imagine his father at a music festival, but beyond that, it’s hard to imagine that he spent one night with that lady, and decades later she shows up with a daughter. Katie agrees and says it’s an adjustment for her too. Will concludes that Bill is always putting Katie through something. He says he loves his father, but he will never forget how he disrespected Katie in the past. She says she is ok and doesn’t want Will to think badly of his father. Will says it isn’t that he thinks it’s bad that Bill is taking responsibility for his daughter. Katie surmises that Will is feeling uncertain and says she has a lot of questions too, especially about Poppy.

At Il Giorno, Sheila tells Deacon that the last time she talked to Hollis, he had found Tom’s backpack in the storage room, and she told him to toss it. Now she thinks the backpack might have had a clue as to what happened to Tom and if she had looked in it, she might have been able to prevent Hollis’s death. Deacon tells her not to do that to herself.
Poppy and Luna arrive at their apartment. Luna looks for her tablet and finds a large backpack behind the couch.

In Steffi’s office, Finn says Steffi and Hope both want what’s best for Forrester. Steffi argues that Hope wants what is best for Hope. Hope counters that Steffi is against anything Logan-related and that she has a problem with the line that Brooke created too. Steffi says they aren’t talking about Brooke; they are talking about how poorly Hope’s line is performing. Finn wonders if “Hope for the Future” just needs some time to adjust after the Thomas thing. He says Steffi has every right to be concerned about the numbers and Hope has every right to fight for her line. Steffi tells Hope that it is a business decision; nothing personal. She clarifies that she isn’t going to eliminate the line, but they need to scale it back.

Ridge and Brooke arrive in Monaco and take a drive to a casino. Ridge says he is all in, betting on Brooke.

In Katie’s office, Will says he understands that things change, and life goes on, but he misses his home and his family. Katie thinks studying abroad was a good thing for Will. Will agrees, but he wants to stay in Los Angeles now. Katie says she loves Will more than anything. Will says he isn’t sure if his dad feels the same way now that he has Poppy and Luna in his life.

At IL Giordino, Shiela regrets not listening to Hollis. Deacon tells her that at that point, no one was questioning Tom’s death. Sheila says she was so dismissive and never thought that the backpack could have evidence in it, but she just wanted it out of the restaurant. Deacon supposes that Hollis threw it in the trash. Sheila says she told him to. Deacon concludes the backpack is long gone by now. Sheila thinks it probably had drugs in it that could have led them to the person who killed Tom and Hollis.

At the apartment, Luna looks in the backpack she found behind the sofa. She finds a stack of letters addressed to her mother and proceeds to read them. Poppy goes into the room and asks Luna what she is doing. Luna says the letters are from Tom to Poppy claiming to be Luna’s father. Poppy says Tom was a drug addict and a stalker. Luna realizes that Tom is the person who overdosed at Il Giordino and suddenly suspects her mother.

Steffi receives a text from Ridge informing her that they arrived in Monaco. Steffi wonders if she would have had time to get her passport and make the flight. Finn says he knows Steffi is disappointed. Hope says it won’t be the same without her, but she is sure Ridge and Brooke are getting swept up in the beauty of Monte Carlo.

Brooke and Ridge take in the waterfront view in Monte Carlo.

Someone is lurking in Bill’s house.

Bill and Poppy are in the bedroom. Bill assures Poppy that nothing will tear them apart. As they start to make out, someone opens the bedroom door. Poppy screams.

R.J. and Luna are kissing at in Katie’s office at Forrester. He asks her what it will take to get her to come to his home so they can spend time alone. She says, “soon” and apologizes for spending so much time at home with her parents. She thinks it’s important since they are becoming a family. Katie walks in and says, “That’s wonderful.” She says she hopes Luna’s mother remembers that they aren’t Bill’s only family.

In Steffi’s office, Carter tells Steffi that he thought she was joking about not going to Monaco. He suggests that she take a commercial flight. She says she did check into taking another flight, but it was delayed, and she would miss the meeting with the prince, so she decided not to go at all. Hope, eavesdropping at the door, smiles smugly when Steffi says she can’t believe she lost her passport. Hope goes into Steffi’s office and snarks that her mother and Steffi’s father must be having a nice flight across the Atlantic alone. Carter says he received a text from Ridge asking him to lock in the summit itinerary before they land. Steffi says that’s because it’s a business trip, not a romantic getaway. Carter says the prince’s media liaison will meet them at the jet and escort them to the palace. Hope wonders at Ridge and Brooke’s royal treatment but notes that the prince is a fan of Forrester Creations and especially her mother. Steffi says she would have liked to see The Prince and the “Brookes Bedroom” launch, but since she is staying home, she will focus on other collections, mainly “Hope for the Future.”

In Katie’s office, Luna tells Katie that she doesn’t appreciate her trashing her family and that the accusations that Katie hurled at Poppy were completely uncalled for. R.J. wonders what Katie accused Poppy of. Luna tells R.J. that Katie suggested that Poppy had something to do with the deaths at Il Giordino. R.J. is shocked. Luna says Tom and Hollis both died of tragic drug overdose accidents. Katie asks them what if someone had something to do with it.

Bill pensively approaches the still-ajar bedroom door and opens it to find Will on the other side. Bill is excited to see his son. He tells Poppy that that is his son, Will. Will closes the door and runs away.

In Katie’s office,  R.J. tells Katie that everyone is freaked out about the deaths at Il Giordino, but to call it a murder and blame Luna’s mom is going too far. Katie says she doesn’t want to think about Bill being involved with someone like that. Luna counters, “he isn’t.” Katie says she has to trust her instincts. She says Poppy freaks out every time the subject comes up. Luna suggests Poppy feels attacked. R.J. suggests that it’s not Poppy; its Katie feeling weird about the change in Bill’s life. He reminds her that Bill unsuccessfully tried to win her back for a long time before he moved on. Katie insists that she is not jealous; she’s concerned. She says it happened so quickly. Luna concludes that is what Katie’s real problem is. Katie asks Luna why Poppy waited so long to tell her that Bill Spencer was her father. Luna says her mom did what she felt was best at the time, and she doesn’t hold it against her, especially now that they are so happy.

Katie says Poppy doesn’t seem happy, she seems edgy. Luna says she and her mom have been alone for a long time and this is a big change, but an amazing one. She tells Katie that she and Poppy are not interlopers; they are family and Bill asked them to move in with him because he loves them, and Katie will have to accept that. Katie says goodbye to R.J. and leaves to go home to her parents.

In Bill and Poppy’s bedroom. Poppy buttons her sweater and Bill is upset that Will’s welcome home was waking in on his dad in the bedroom with his girlfriend. Bill throws on a shirt and goes after Will. He finds Will in the living room. They hug. Bill apologizes for what Will walked in on. Will asks his father if that was “her.”

In Steffi’s office, Steffi says she didn’t schedule any meetings today because she thought she would be in Monte Carlo. Hope concludes that Steffi wants to discuss Hope’s line while Ridge is away. Steffi says she and Carter went over “Hope for the Future’s” numbers, and other than the philanthropic tie-in the numbers are down. She says that overall, she thinks the line is in trouble. Hope observes that Steffi didn’t even wait a day before threatening Hope’s line. Carter says it isn’t personal; the numbers don’t lie, and “Hope for the Future” is falling short of projections. Hope protests that there is a preview scheduled and people haven’t seen the new designs yet. Steffi says they aren’t even getting calls about it. She says matter-of-factly that “Hope for the Future’s” time is running out. Hope asks Carter to give her a minute to talk to Steffi privately. Hope tells Steffi that she knows what she is up to, and she is not going to get away with it.

In Katie’s office, Katie tells R.J. that it was not her intention to upset Luna. R.J. asks what her intention was. He concludes that this is his fault because he should not have told Katie about Poppy’s mints. Katie corrects him that they were drugs. R.J. asks Katie why she thinks Poppy had something to do with the overdoses at Il Giordino. She says he has to admit that there is enough evidence to suspect or suggest. She reveals that she found out that Tom Starr was one of the acts that played at the music festival the night that Bill and Luna met and supposedly conceived Luna. R.J. asks Katie if she remembers every band she has ever seen in her life. Katie says this is different. That night was supposedly so magical because she met Bill so she should have remembered every detail, yet she acted like she had never heard of Tom Starr. She says she doesn’t trust Poppy or the way she rapidly moved in with Bill and created an instant family.

At Bill’s house, Will concludes he should have called before he came. Bill disagrees, he says Will doesn’t have to call before coming to his own home. Will repeats his question, “is that her?” Bill says yes and says he wants to introduce them properly. Will thinks now is not a good time. Will asks Bill if it is completely over between him and Katie. Poppy comes into the room and introduces herself to Will. Will says he is going to go but Bill and Poppy both ask him to stay. Luna comes home. Bill introduces the siblings to each other.

In Katie’s office, Katie tells R.J. that Bill is not the ogre that R.J. makes him out to be. She says family is the most important thing to Bill and it is also his biggest blind spot. R.J. asserts that a paternity test proved that Luna is Bill’s daughter. He tells her that her conspiracy theory is not good for her. R.J. says Luna has always wanted to know who her father was and now that she and Bill have found each other, it’s good for everyone. He observes that Will has a sister now.

At Bill’s house, Will and Luna awkwardly greet each other. Bill suggests that they hug. Will isn’t ready for that. Luna concurs. Once again, Will says he is going to go. Bill insists that he stay. Poppy says she and Luna can go to the apartment so Bill and Will can have time alone. Bill forbids it. Poppy doesn’t want Will to feel unwelcome in his own home. Bill tells Will that he wants the four of them to spend some time together getting to know each other. He asks Will if he can’t show some kindness to Luna and her mom. Will retorts that he doesn’t know them. He says its Bill’s deal and he isn’t a part of it. Bill says yes, Will is. Will protests that Poppy and Bill hooked up a long time ago, and now they expect him to act like they are his family. He refuses and leaves.

In Steffi’s office, Steffi asks Hope what she won’t let her get away with. Running the company? Doing what’s best for the business? Steffi tells Hope to look at the documents that Carter left. Hope says she doesn’t need to look at a spreadsheet to know that Steffi has it out for her. She asks Steffi to give her new team time. Steffi says Carter and Zende are talented but might do better working on something else. Hope concludes that Steffi is using her position to attack her and her line. She says she is not going to let Steffi destroy her hard work.

On the airplane, Ridge frets about Steffi making them late for their appointment with the prince in Monaco. Meanwhile at the check-in desk, Steffi rummages through her bags looking for her passport.

In the executive office at Forrester Creations, Hope looks at the passport on the desk and smiles to herself as she recalls being rebuffed by Steffi when she tried to give it to her.

In Li’s office, Katie aggressively asserts that Poppy does drugs. Li asks if Katie is suggesting that Poppy had something to do with the overdoses at Il Giordino.

At Bill’s house, Poppy admits that she had a relationship with Tom Starr. Bill wants to know if Poppy didn’t tell him sooner because Tom could have been Luna’s father.

Katie recaps that Poppy takes drugs and was at a music festival where Tom Starr performed decades ago. She asks Li if she thinks it’s possible that Poppy and her drugs were responsible for Tom and Hollis’s deaths.
Poppy tearfully apologizes to Bill for not telling him sooner. He asks her if Tom really could have been Luna’s father. Poppy says yes, but her heart was always with Bill. Bill says it’s a lot to wrap his head around.

Carter goes to the executive office and sees Hope behind Ridge’s desk. Carter tells Hope that he knows she didn’t want Steffi to go on the trip to Monte Carlo. Hope says that if Steffi wants to be a third wheel, so be it. He says it’s an important business meeting and as co-CEO, Steffi should be there. Hope reluctantly agrees that it would be a shame if Steffi weren’t there.

Ridge calls Steffi. She tells him that she is at the airport, but she can’t find her passport. She tells her father to go to Monaco without her.

Li tells Katie that she wouldn’t give her sister enough credit to be responsible for Tom and Hollis’s deaths. She furthermore assures Katie that Bill is Luna’s father.

Poppy asks Bill to say he understands. Bill says he is still processing it, but that he can’t imagine what she must have gone through raising her daughter on her own while being stalked by a washed-up rocker who thought he was her daughter’s father. He says he understands her not wanting her to have Tom in Luna’s life. Poppy hugs Bill. She promises never to keep anything from Bill again and assures him that she always believed Bill was Luna’s father. Bill hugs Poppy.

Li tells Katie that she understands her frustration and disappointment. Katie wonders why Li can’t see the truth. Li reminds Katie that she insisted on administering the DNA test herself to be sure. She tells Katie that the truth is that Poppy and Luna are now a part of the Spencer family.

Poppy tells Bill that she wouldn’t blame him if he questioned his paternity. He says he doesn’t doubt the accuracy of the DNA test knowing how much Li had wanted it to be negative. Poppy admits that she held a grudge because Bill never called her or tried to find her, and that her walls were up when she reconnected with him, but he has broken down her walls by being a kind, generous man to both her and Luna. He says he isn’t sure he deserves all of that praise, but that Poppy and Luna mean a lot to him, and he realizes that it must have been difficult for her to tell him about that guy from her past. he says he imagines she must have wondered if fielding Katies questions was worth it. She says she never did. Bill tells Poppy that Katie is just being protective because they share a son. He tells her to know that he believes her and that he is still there for her.

On the plane, Ridge tells Brooke that he feels terrible that Steffi didn’t make the flight.

In Ridge and Steffi’s office, Carter tells Hope that he hoped Steffi and Brooke can play nice. Hope says she thinks everything will be alright. Carter thinks being on the French Riviera can bring people to get along, and that certainly, they will be on their good behavior in front of the prince. Carter apologizes for upsetting Hope earlier, and clarifies that Ridge, Brooke, and Steffi representing Forrester together feels right. Hope says she agrees with that. He leaves to attend a meeting.

Steffi returns to her office to find Hope there. Hope asks Steffi if she shouldn’t be on a jet to Monaco.
On the plane, Ridge tells Brooke that he knows how much Steffi wanted to go to Monaco. Brooke says they are on the way, and it will be a magical trip for just the two of them.

Steffi finds her passport in the office. She confirms to Hope that yes, she did miss the flight. She says Hope got what she wanted; Ridge and Brook are headed to Monaco without her.

Li tells Katie that she is not her sister’s biggest fan, but she knows she is not a murderer. She says that if any foul play was involved, it must have been perpetrated by Sheila Carter. Katie says Katie has already been questioned by the police and released. Li concludes that if there is a killer, they are still at large.

Someone is lurking in Bill’s house.

In the bedroom, Poppy concludes to Bill that she should have confided in him sooner. Bill says it’s ok with him if they never speak of Tom again. Poppy gushes over how grateful she is that Bill turned out to be such an amazing person and amazing father. She says he was the missing piece in her life, and she is happy that they are a family. He says he is happy about that too and says once again that nothing is going to tear them apart. They start making out.

Someone opens the bedroom door.

Poppy screams.

In Steffi’s office at Forrester Creations, Zende tells Ridge and Steffi that all of the content is uploaded and ready to drop on social media. He jokingly offers to accompany them to Monaco. Steffi snarks they already have one person too many.

Meanwhile, Brooke tells Hope that she is excited to go to Monaco. Hope says it doesn’t hurt that Brooke is a celebrity among the royal family. She says she knows Brooke’s Bedroom Lingerie will be a success and wishes Brooke success with Ridge. She thinks Brooke and Ridge deserve some time away but thinks it’s a shame that Steffi is going too.

At Bills house, Bill kisses Poppy and asks her if she is convinced that nothing will take their family away.

When she doesn’t respond, he tells her that he can tell that something is bothering her. She says it’s someone, his ex-wife. She reveals that Katie came to see her again and that it’s clear that Katie doesn’t like her or trust her.

In Katie’s office, Katie spins her wheels trying to find a connection between Poppy and the deaths of Tom Starr and Hollis

In Steffi’s office, Zende shows Brooke the post that he plans to debut. Steffi likes the idea that Zende is including a video drop. Ridge says all they need to do now is get on the plane. Steffi is annoyed by Ridge and Brooke’s PDA.

Katie goes to Dr. Li Nozawa’s office and demands to know if Poppy takes drugs.

Poppy tells Bill that Katie could be a problem. She reveals that Katie has been asking questions about her and Tom Starr’s Death.

Zende and Hope wish Brooke and Ridge a good trip. Once they are alone, Hope tells Steffi that it’s obvious that she doesn’t want Brooke to go along on the trip.

LI tells Katie that supposedly, Poppy no longer takes drugs. Katie asks if Li knows whether Poppy quit drugs before or after the deaths at Il Giordino. Li wants to know what Katie is implying.

Poppy nervously tells Bill that she has something that she needs to tell him.

Hope tries to convince Steffi not to go to Monte Carlo.

Brooke and Ridge arrive at the airport, check in, and tell the pilot they are still waiting for Steffi before boarding the plane.

Katie tells Li that Poppy was a fan of Tom Starr and that Tom played at the music festival where Poppy met Bill. Li says Penelope loved concerts back then and that that is probably where she got started on the “special mints.” Katie says Poppy is lucky she didn’t meet the same fate as Tom and Hollis, and wonders if their deaths were intentional. Li asks her why she keeps bringing up those two dead men.

Poppy admits to Bill that she dated Tom Starr a long time ago and that Tom had been claiming to be Luna’s father.

On the plane, Ridge sketches while Brook drinks champagne. She tries to convince Ridge to take a break from working so much. Ridge wonders what is taking Steffi so long.

Steffi gets annoyed at Hope’s attempt to turn a business trip into a honeymoon for their parents, but Hope keeps pressing the issue. Finally, Steffi grabs her purse and work tote and leaves for the airport. Hope runs after Steffi with Steffi’s passport in hand, but Steffi ignores her and closes the elevator doors.

Li asks Katie if she is suggesting that Poppy has something to do with Tom Starr’s death. Katie asks Li if she thinks it’s a possibility.

Poppy tells Bill that she didn’t intentionally withhold the fact that she had known Tom in the past; it just hadn’t come up and didn’t matter after the paternity test. Bill wonders why Poppy waited so long to tell him that she had such a relationship with Tom Starr that would lead him to think that he could be Luna’s father.

Ridge texts Steffi asking where she is just as she runs up to the check in desk. The pilot asks for her passport. She rifles through all of her bags looking for it.

Hope laughs as she tosses Steffi’s passport back on the desk where she found it. She concludes that Steffi won’t be going to Monte Carlo.

Update written by Brenda

At Bill’s house, Poppy tells Katie to stop the ridiculous accusations. Katie retorts that she can tell when someone is lying, and that Poppy is giving off the signs. She says she doesn’t think it’s a coincidence that two men died of an overdose, or that one of them performed at the music festival where Poppy met Bill. Katie presses Poppy to admit that she is trying to conceal that she had a relationship with Tom Starr and demands to know if she had anything to do with the deaths.

At Il Giordino, Deacon tells Justin and Bill that he thinks Tom and Hollis might have been murdered, but not by Shiela. Bill wonders if Deacon thinks the murderer will strike at Il Giordino again.

At Forrester Creations, Hope is excited about Brooke’s photo shoot. Zende arrives to begin the photo shoot and tells Ridge that the social media team will be ready to drop the content when Ridge, Brooke, and Steffi arrive in Monte Carlo. Steffi can’t believe Brooke is going to Monte Carlo with them and tells Finn that she might as well stay home. Hope tells Brooke that she can’t believe Steffi is going to Monte Carlo instead of letting Brook and Ridge have a romantic getaway alone. Zende proceeds with the photo shoot.

At Il Giordino, Justin wonders if Deacon is overthinking the matter. Bill adds that a drug overdose doesn’t suggest murder, but Deacon objects, saying that neither of the two dead men had recent drug problems. He insists that it was murder and declares that when he finds out who is responsible, they will pay.

At Bill’s house, Luna walks in on Poppy and Katie and asks if there is a misunderstanding. Poppy says she understands clearly that Katie had the nerve to come to their home uninvited and accuse her of murder. Luna tells Katie that her mother would never kill anyone and that she is a gentle person who struggled to put food on the table while raising her alone. Katie interjects that Poppy isn’t struggling now that she has a sugar daddy. Luna tells Katie to leave. Katie says it isn’t over and that she is going to find out the truth.

At Forrester, the photoshoot continues. Steffi tells Ridge that he could still change his mind about the model, because her model is fine. He asks why should go with fine when they can have great with Brooke. Hope tries to persuade Steffi not to go to Monte Carlo with Ridge and Brooke.

At Il Giordino, Justin tells Bill that Deacon is acting like a conspiracy theorist. Bill says he would be upset too if he were in Deacon’s shoes. Justin invites bill to go back to the office together, but Bill says he is going home to Poppy and Luna. Justin observes that Bill’s newfound daughter brings out the best in him and he is glad to see him happy.

Meanwhile at Bill’s house, Luna is dumbfounded by Katie’s accusations. Poppy tells Luna not to worry about Katie.

Katie goes to see her nephew R.J. and asks him to tell her everything he knows about Poppy. R.J. wonders why Katie is asking him about Luna’s mom. Katie says she understands that Luna is his girlfriend and that she finds her charming, but they live in the house where her own son Will goes so she is interested in knowing about them. R.J. reveals that they haven’t completely moved in yet; they still have their apartment.

The photo shoot continues at Forrester. Ridge tells Steffi not to be late for the plane. She promises she won’t be and reminds him that Brooke always leaves her packing until the last minute. When the photoshoot ends, Brooke confronts Hope about the way that she was looking at Finn. Hope insists it’s fine. Brooke disagrees and reminds her daughter that Finn is Steffi’s husband.  Ridge thanks Zende and compliments Brooke on a great photoshoot.

Bill arrives home to see Luna hugging Poppy and asks what he walked in on. Luna says they were just bonding and discussing the struggles they went through in the past. Bill tells them they won’t have to worry about going through anything like that again. Poppy tells Bill she loves him. Bill promises that no one will ever take the family they’ve created away from them.

Katie asks R.J. if Poppy had anything to do with the time that he and Luna were apart in the past. He reluctantly reveals that Poppy accidentally drugged Luna and that it was bad. He says Luna ate what she thought were mints but were some kind of hallucinogen. Katie concludes that Bill has moved a drug addict into his house. R.J. says Poppy claims she stopped taking them. He says Poppy is a nice person but that she has a dark side. He asks Katie to keep it between him because he doesn’t want it to come between him and Katie. R.J. leaves to go to the cutting room. Katie wonders if the drug that Luna accidentally took is the same drug that killed Hollis and Tom. She panics with fear that Bill is in danger.

Ridge: So, zende got delayed. He’ll be here shortly, he says.

Brooke: Okay. If you change your mind and you want somebody else to do this, just let me…

Ridge: What are you doing? We talked about this.

Brooke: Well, it’s just…

Ridge: It’s just what? You’re gonna blow them away the same way you blew ’em away when you first did this campaign.

Brooke: You do wonders for my ego, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: I have every confidence in you.

Brooke: Mwah.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Is that the…

Ridge: The original bed from the original campaign? No, it’s not, but it’s very close.

Steffy: Yeah, we retired the original one. Too many miles on it.

Poppy: Are you sure you have to go?

Bill: Mm. [Chuckles] When you kiss me like that, I’m not sure of anything.

Poppy: You know, we could just crawl back into bed and…

Bill: Yeah?

Poppy: …Pick up where we left off last night.

Bill: That’s very tempting.

Poppy: I just want to be close to you, bill. Especially after…

Bill: After what?

Poppy: After katie coming over here and drilling me, asking question after question, saying how determined she is to get answers. I know you two were married and you share a child, but… it was really unnerving.

Bill: You have to trust me. In my case, probably well deserved. But I have been on the receiving end of katie’s third degrees. I understand that you’re feeling a bit unnerved. Listen to me. You have nothing to worry about with my ex-wife. Katie’s harmless.

Katie: Wow. No wonder bill was at that festival. It’s one breakout act after another. And some new bands, too.

[Gasps] Oh, my gosh. He was there. Tom starr was playing at the festival.

Hope: Well, I’m so excited for you, mom. It has been too long.

Ridge: I agree. And so do all her fans all around the world. They’ve been clamoring for something like this for a long time.

Steffy: Brooke and her infamous red teddy sprawled out on that infamous brass bed.

Brooke: Hmm. My sprawling days are over, steffy. But I do still have that red teddy. You could even ask your father.

[Phone chimes]

Ridge: Trust me, she has it. Okay, zende’s gonna be here very soon. You’re gonna rock this photo shoot.

Brooke: Thanks, honey.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Your father has a lot of faith in me.

Hope: Well, we all do. You’re going to be fabulous, mom. Won’t she, steffy?

[Bill whistles]

Bill: Jam-packed today. Think you can squeeze me in?

Deacon: Oh, they just keep on coming, don’t they? What do you want, spencer?

Bill: Health department hasn’t shut you down yet? I mean, rats are one thing. You got a couple of dead bodies in here and you’re still open?

Deacon: For your information, the authorities and the health department have checked us out and il giardino is clean.

Bill: Well, clearly, word hasn’t gotten out yet.

Deacon: Well, when it does, we’ll be back up and running, but it’s not gonna be the same.

Bill: I imagine not. You got two employees that croaked in here.

Deacon: They were more than that. They were my friends.

Bill: Well, I hate to say it, but being your friend seems to be hazardous to one’s health. I mean, you got two mysterious deaths in here from drug overdoses just a few days apart. Cops come up with anything yet?

Deacon: All I get from them is “the investigation is ongoing.”

Bill: So nothing.

Deacon: I just keep going over in my head. What if it wasn’t really an overdose?

Bill: The toxicology reports came back, right?

Deacon: Yeah. No, it did. It confirmed that they both od’D. But what it didn’t say is how it happened or why it happened. It doesn’t even say if tom and hollis realized it. What if they were targeted? You know, what if somebody actually specifically wanted to kill tom and hollis, but they made it look like an overdose, when in reality, it was a murder? I mean, if that’s how it went down, bill, that means somebody else is still out there, and they may be ready to strike again.

[Birds chirping]

Katie: Hello, poppy.

[Poppy gasps]

Poppy: Katie. What are you doing here?

Katie: Oh. You’re not happy to see me?

Poppy: After last time? The things you said?

Katie: Well, I had questions, and you weren’t very forthcoming, so I didn’t have any choice.

Poppy: Well, what is that supposed to mean?

Katie: I said I was gonna learn everything about you, and it turns out I have learned something absolutely fascinating. You see, I did a little research on that music festival where you and bill met, that fateful night that brought the two of you, um, together. And as it happens, there was someone else at that festival. Someone on the stage. Tom starr. This powerful im

Hope: Well, it’s no secret

Hope: Well, it’s no secret that you’re not exactly thrilled about my mom being front and center again.

Steffy: I just don’t think we should be going down this road again.

Ridge: Okay, let’s take it easy, you guys, please.

Hope: No, ridge, it’s fine. I’m just curious as to why steffy feels this way.

Steffy: Brooke has been in the spotlight for years as the face of brooke’s bedroom line.

Hope: Very successful years.

Steffy: Absolutely. That’s true. But I–

Brooke: Okay, but… I am older now. Maybe I shouldn’t try to recreate this magic.

Ridge: Don’t do this. You look as amazing as ever.

Hope: I agree.

Ridge: Which is exactly why you’re gonna make this powerful impact on women of all ages all over the world.

Hope: And that’s why it is so important, not just for brooke’s bedroom, but to also show that true beauty doesn’t fade with age.

Ridge: Right. And anyone can see that.

Brooke: Oh, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Finn: Hey. Pam said you’d be backstage.

Steffy: Oh, finn, you have no idea how glad I am to see you.

Bill: Well, you’ve got a lot on your plate, deacon. No pun intended.

Deacon: Tell me about it. The restaurant’s in the skids. I gotta do something, something to bring the customers back, let them know that it’s safe to be here. But the truth of it is, I just don’t have it in me right now. All I can think about is the senseless way that tom and hollis died.

[Phone dinging] I gotta take this. Excuse me.

Justin: Dollar bill. Just the man I was looking for.

Bill: Well, we gotta stop meeting like this or people are gonna talk.

Justin: Yeah. Yeah. So, did you get the tickets I sent over? Astros. Dodgers. In houston. All accommodations taken care of. Now the box just may happen to be next to howard, who just may be wanting to put his stations back online unless there is a media titan who, in my opinion, can structure m&a’s better than anyone else and can strike a deal while taking in the old ball game.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: Listen, justin, I– I’m just really glad that we were able to work through our issues.

Justin: Yeah.

Bill: All right? And we made the impossible possible. It’s good to have you back with us.

Justin: We did. Good to be back. Good to be back, man.

Deacon: Justin.

Justin: Hey.

Deacon: What are you doing here?

Bill: Oh, we’re just, uh, talking–talking some ball here. I was just talking to deacon about these mysterious deaths that have taken place right here in il giardino.

Deacon: You were here that night. I saw you.

Justin: Yeah. Um… so, how are you holding up?

Deacon: Well, I’m just trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing. By the way, did I mention to you that I, uh–I checked the security cameras from before. There was a power outage the night that hollis died.

Bill: You think that’s significant?

Deacon: Maybe. Maybe not. Could just be a coincidence.

Bill: Well, if you’re thinking foul play was involved, I would suggest you look no further than your wifey.

Deacon: Police took sheila in for questioning. They released her. My bride had nothing to do with it, but somebody could have. The question is who.

Katie: Tom starr performed that night at the music festival. Well, he also recently overdosed at il giardino, a restaurant that you and bill frequent often.

Poppy: Well, what are you getting at?

Katie: Well, I just think it’s awfully coincidental, don’t you? I mean, the same guy that performed before you and bill at a music festival in san francisco also performed at il giardino.

Poppy: I guess so. And, yeah, now that you mentioned it, I do recall that tom starr did perform at that festival. But, um, why are you bringing it up?

Katie: Well, that was the same night where you claim luna was conceived.

Poppy: I’m not claiming it, katie. It’s the truth.

Katie: And bill’s the father. That’s your story and you’re sticking to it? Force factor total beets is the number one

Steffy: Yeah, you. Oh, my gosh. My favo

Finn: For you.

Steffy: Thank you. Oh, my gosh. My favorite latte. You are the sweetest.

Finn: Well, I figured you could use a little pick-me-up. You said it might be a long day for you.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s been a long day. I needed this.

Finn: I got you.

Bill: Oh, deacon, my man, you must be an awfully trusting guy.

Deacon: She was my wife. Of course I trust her.

[Bill chuckles]

Justin: I’m not sure how smart that is, considering her track record.

Deacon: Well, she’s not the same woman anymore.

[Bill laughs]

Bill: Okay, if you say so.

Deacon: Listen. I know that you both hate sheila’s guts, but don’t come into my restaurant and badmouth my wife, okay? I don’t do that to you. I don’t show contempt for the new woman in your life.

Bill: Are you referring to poppy?

Deacon: Let me ask you something. How would you feel if I started taking potshots at her, talking about her past and trashing it?

[Bill laughs]

Bill: Wait a second. Is this clown trying to compare poppy to sheila carter? Are you? ‘Cause if so, you must have spent just way too much time pounding out those license plates in prison and it somehow diminished your mental capacity.

Justin: Come on, deacon. Those two women are polar opposites in every way.

Deacon: Look, if poppy makes you happy, bill, that’s terrific. Just don’t come in here talking about the woman who makes me happy.

Justin: Okay. We’re gonna change the subject.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no. Not so fast. I wanna make something crystal clear for the convict, all right? You’re right. Poppy does make me happy. And she has given me a beautiful daughter that I am thrilled with. And having both of those women in my life makes me a very lucky man.

Deacon: Just like I’m a lucky man to have sheila in mine.

Bill: Well, there’s one big difference, though. You hooked up with a known murderer. I didn’T.

Poppy: I don’t appreciate what you’re implying, katie.

Katie: I’m just asking some questions, just looking for some answers. I’m trying so hard to understand why you waited 20 years to do a paternity test. It doesn’t make any sense.

Poppy: Okay, well, not that it’s any of your business, but bill never reached out after that night and I was hurt.

Katie: But you did know his history. Spencer publications. The fact that he was rich and powerful.

Poppy: No, I did not. Because despite what my sister li loves to tell everyone, I am not now nor have I ever been a gold digger. So, yeah, it took me a long time to build up the nerve to do a paternity test.

Katie: And to let the world know that luna is bill’s daughter.

Poppy: It’s true, katie.

Katie: A daughter who was conceived on the same night that tom starr was performing. Tom starr, who worked at il giardino and mysteriously died of a drug overdose.

Poppy: What are you getting at?

Katie: I just want to know if you and tom starr had a relationship. Was he your lover?

Ridge: Look at me.

[Brooke sighs] You’re gonna prove to women all over the world that beauty is timeless. You’re not getting older. You’re just getting better. Look at you. You look as great as you did 20 years ago. No, you don’T. You don’T. You look better than you did 20 years ago.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: That gorgeous smile and that twinkle in your eye and the way you–you have that zest for adventure. You love life. And you’re mine. You’re my logan. I love you.

[Steffy sighs]

Finn: What’S…

Steffy: In case you haven’t guessed, I’m not too excited that this shoot is featuring brooke.

Finn: Yeah, I kind of picked up on that.

Steffy: You know who’s excited about it? Hope. She’s loving every minute that her mother’s in the spotlight.

Hope: I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you.

Ridge: I gave your mom a final pep talk, and I think I got through to her.

Brooke: He’s relentless.

Hope: Oh, well, that’s because he knows what I know, which is that you are going to be awesome. Seriously, mom, you’re going to rock this. And I am so, so proud of you.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Oh! Thank you, sweetie.

Deacon: I think I got a pretty good idea about how you two feel about sheila, but she had nothing to do with what happened to tom and hollis. And if she did, she’d be behind bars right now. But if there is more to this…

Justin: And what do you mean, more?

Deacon: Murder, justin. Cold-blooded, premeditated murder.

Poppy: All right, well, I don’t know what you’re trying to insinuate, katie, but, you know, this is…

Katie: I’m just pointing out some coincidental facts. The same night, an epic night that happened all those years ago that you’ve never been able to forget. That night that luna was conceived, tom starr just happened to be performing. Tom starr, who mysteriously overdosed at il giardino, a restaurant that you and bill go to quite often. I mean, did you know that tom worked there? Did you ever see him?

Tom: Luna needs to know who her real dad is.

Poppy: She does know her real dad–bill spencer.

Tom: No, that’s a lie. You trapped that poor sucker. And worse, you’re lying to our daughter.

Poppy: For the last time, she is not your daughter. The paternity test proved it.

Tom: Bull, poppy. Listen, I’ve kept my distance, but it’s time for luna to know the truth.

Katie: You seem really uneasy with this questioning about tom. Why is that, poppy?

Poppy: This is just the most absurd line of questioning I have ever heard. What are you trying to do, link me to that poor man’s death?

Katie: Well, I wasn’t gonna say anything, but since you brought it up. His overdose. Did you have anything to do with it? Are you a liar? A gold digger? Are you a murderer?

Poppy: All right, just stop it, okay? Just stop it. Stop with these absurd accusations.

Katie: Or you’ll do what? Huh? You’ll do what?

Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Man: Have you checked your pockets?

Steffy: Where’s my passport?

Brooke: Monaco, here we come.

Katie: It doesn’t make sense. I don’t trust her.

Bill: What are you talking about?

Poppy: Tom was claiming to be luna’s father.

Hope: Mom, I’m really happy for you. You’ve defined beauty in the past with brooke’s bedroom, and I’m excited to see you do it again.

Brooke: Well, thank you, honey. It’s still all sinking in.

Hope: Well, look, I do understand maybe some of the hesitancy. Just please don’t allow one of those reasons to be steffy.

Brooke: [Sighs] She’s not going to be very happy when she hears the news.

Ridge: Steffy, you more than anyone knows how short life could be. Holding on to past grudges… come on.

Steffy: Look, I know how much you love me, and I want to do what’s best for us, but I can’t just forget what the logans have done.

Ridge: [Sighs] And I’m not asking that, I… brooke is a sticking point. I get it. Please, remember that it was me. I left you. I left your mom. It was me. Be upset with me, but I love brooke. I have for a long time. She’s my person. And the logans and the forresters aren’t at odds anymore. We’re one big family. Maybe not happy, but we’re a family. Crazy family, your kids, hope’s kids, all of us. I know what this feud is you’re holding on to. Even your grandma let it go. Her and brooke, they were great friends in the end. What a waste of time. They could have been so close for so long. So let’s not do this. Let’s not repeat history. I’m hoping, I’m really hoping you’re gonna… come on board with all of it. I’m going ahead with brooke with bedroom line. And this whole social media blitz, it’S… it’s gonna drop when brooke and I are in monte carlo.

Steffy: What? Brooke’s coming to monte carlo?

Poppy: I just can’t shake off how upset I am.

Luna: Mom, don’t give katie this much power over you. Like, look, I understand that us coming into bill’s life is a big adjustment, but if katie can’t handle that, then that’s on her.

Poppy: Okay, yes. Okay, you’re right. You’re right. And there is so much to be grateful for. And I know how much you are loving your life right now. I am. Well, you know, I–I loved our life before, too, but this just feels… I don’t know, like, complete. I finally have a father. And… it’s not just any father. It’s bill spencer, and… he’s welcomed us with open arms.

Poppy: Of course he has. And, you know, bill is really lucky to have a daughter like you. I know that I am.

Luna: This is a really special moment for us right now.

Poppy: I love our life, and I’m not gonna let anyone ruin it.

Bill: Well, I love our life as well. And I agree. No one is going to ruin it.

Li: Katie, are you accusing me if I somehow mishandled bill and luna’s paternity test?

Katie: Oh, no, no, no. I–I don’t mean to suggest that. I’m just wondering if there’s any chance that the test could be incorrect.

Poppy: Um, bill, I was just being a little dramatic. I–I really didn’t–

Bill: No, I agree. You never have to hide your feelings from me. No secrets.

Li: So you’re not implying I made an error with the paternity test, but you’re still asking if it could be wrong?

Katie: Please, don’t take this personally. I–I don’t have your expertise, but I’M… I’m sure these tests have false results from time to time, and I’m just wondering if, uh… it might not be correct.

Li: My sister’s really alarmed you, huh?

Katie: Yes. Yes, she has. I keep on getting these weird vibes from her, like she’s hiding something. So… maybe the results aren’t right.

Li: No, katie, the paternity test is correct. Bill is luna’s father.

Hope: Look, if steffy is not thrilled about the relaunch of the bedroom line, then… you know, that’s on her. We–we should be celebrating. We shouldn’t be worrying about her reaction. And besides, I know ridge cannot wait to get started.

Brooke: Honestly, I think he just enjoys me trying on lingerie for him.

Hope: Mom, I–

Brooke: Okay, I’m kidding. Okay? This is gonna be very exciting, going to the global fashion summit and relaunching brooke’s bedroom officially.

Hope: Hmm. Well, maybe it doesn’t have to be just business. I mean, it could be a little bit of a romantic getaway for you and ridge. It might be just what you need.

Brooke: I totally agree.

Hope: Wait, but, uh… isn’t steffy going, too?

Brooke: [Sighs, laughs]

Steffy: You want brooke to come to monte carlo?

Ridge: Yeah, I think brooke coming is going to help relaunch the bedroom line.

Steffy: But, dad, I… I thought it was just going to be the two of us. Moving forward withnode-positive breast cancer.

Poppy: I’m sorry. I… I didn’t want to sound insecure or worried.

Bill: About what we have being ruined? I would never let that happen. This is important to me, too. I mean, it has literally changed my world. And having a daughter… especially one as remarkable as luna… has made me a different man. I never expected it. But now that I have it, I don’t want to let it go.

Katie: So these paternity tests are–are never faulty? There’s–there’s never any room for error?

Li: It depends who administers them. As you know, I ran the test myself, taking out any room for error.

Katie: Because you suspected poppy of the same thing I did, that she might alter the results in her favor. Because you know that she might do something as treacherous as lying and trapping bill into believing that he’s luna’s father.

Li: I owe bill my life after he saved me. But I also care about my niece enough to not see her be hurt. So I took charge, making sure there was no room for doubt or uncertainty. And there wasn’t, katie. The paternity test was correct.

Hope: Things are going well. I mean, the logans and the forresters could finally be working together in harmony. But then it just seems like steffy wants to keep the feud alive and well, and if she goes to monte carlo, then–

Brooke: She is definitely planning on coming. I heard her talking about it.

Hope: Oh, and I can’t imagine that she would bow out gracefully to let you and ridge have a romantic getaway alone.

Steffy: I was really looking forward to our trip to monte carlo. I thought it was just gonna be the two of us.

Ridge: [Sighs] I’m still looking forward to it. It’s gonna be the two of us. We just added brooke because she’s–she’s back now.

Steffy: Yeah, but our company’s presence, it goes way beyond brooke’s bedroom line. Our company is not just a lingerie company.

Ridge: I know that. But we create beauty, and we… make women feel like they’re desired. And that’s where the bedroom line comes in because… at forrester, it doesn’t matter if you’re 20 or 40 or 80 or even 100 years old. Being beautiful, that never goes away. Monte carlo is the right location and brooke is the right spokesperson, and… I’m hoping you can support that. Type 2 diabetes?

Poppy: You’re not the only one who sees the world differently. You’ve changed my life, too. I’ve always been fiercely protective. I mean, especially when it comes to luna. From the day she was born, I just held her so incredibly close to me. So for me to share her or to not be the only parent, it’s a huge deal. You say that we changed your life. You’ve changed our lives in more ways than you can possibly imagine.

Luna: I’m just so grateful that you’re my father.

Li: Believe me, I understand how difficult this must be for you, katie, seeing your ex-husband with another woman.

Katie: He was bound to move on sooner or later. I mean, honestly, that’s what I wanted for him.

Li: But still, it’s to see him with a new family in the same home where you raised your son. Uh… it must be challenging.

Katie: It is. But it’s not so much the new family. I mean, we would have made that work. It’s more the… this territorial vibe I’m getting from your sister. I mean, just, something seems off.

Li: Something always feels off when it comes to penelope. That’s why I stormed over to bill’s and demanded I administer the paternity test. It just felt like she was up to something. But I was wrong, katie. She wasn’t lying. Bill is, without a shadow of a doubt, luna’s father.

Hope: You know, I hate that we can’t just enjoy your accomplishments, that we have to worry about steffy and her constant disapproval.

Brooke: It’s not all her fault, hope. There’s a history of conflict between our families, especially her mother and me.

Hope: Okay, well, don’t you think it’s about time she got over it? Her dad is a grown man. He made a choice. He wants to be with you, and he picked you to be the face of the relaunch of one of the most successful lines at forrester creations. This is your time. It is well deserved. So you and ridge, you are going to go to monte carlo. And, yes, steffy will be there, too.

Brooke: Glaring at me the whole time.

Hope: Okay, fine. Let her glare. If steffy wants to have a pity party, fine. We will let her. But you… promise me that you will enjoy this trip with ridge, and please do not let steffy come between you.

Steffy: You want me to support this?

Ridge: Yes. It’s an empowering message for women of all ages.

Steffy: I support the empowerment of women.

Ridge: Just not brooke.

Steffy: I know brooke, and she doesn’t really care about empowering women. This is about her. She wants all the attention. She’s good at it. She manipulated you with a lingerie line.

Ridge: Oh, is she? I’m played that easily?

Steffy: Yeah, I think so.

Ridge: She didn’t even want this. I had to convince her to do the bedroom line. You were there.

Steffy: Fine. Fine. Okay. If you want to revamp the line, and you want brooke as the spokesperson… okay, fine. Let’s do it. But please, let’s just not have her come to monte carlo.

Ridge: Steffy–

Steffy: No. When was the last time you and I had actual time together without kids, without our significant others? Like, I feel like life is pulling us in so many different directions, and I was really looking forward to this, dad.

Ridge: I’m still looking forward to it. We were doing it.

Steffy: Yeah, but brooke is tagging along with us now.

Ridge: Because it’s better for business.

Steffy: I personally think it’s gonna be a huge flop.

Ridge: I don’t agree.

Steffy: Well, that sucks, because as co-ceo’s, we need to support each other in these big decisions.

Ridge: And we also need to have each other’s backs and maybe give each other the benefit of the doubt. Look, we’re gonna have a photo shoot here, and it’s gonna be all beautiful models. We’ll do all that. But in monte carlo, it’s gonna be brooke. ‘Cause she’s just better at selling this stuff than anybody else. And I promise you, we’ll–we’ll have time. The two of us will find time just for us, okay? Promise you. Come here. I love you.

Steffy: And I love you. And I love you.

Ok y’all we got ten orders

coming in.. big orders!

Bill: So now that we’re alone, there’s something I want to talk to you about. My spencey senses are tingling.

Poppy: Your spencey senses?

Bill: Mm-hmm. I’m feeling like you’re stressed, uptight.

Poppy: I mean, yeah. I mean, I guess I have been a little on edge recently.

Bill: Why?

Poppy: [Sighs] I had a run in with katie earlier.

Bill: What did she say?

Poppy: She had questions about me. Questions that she’s going to get the answers to.

Bill: And what do you suppose that means?

Poppy: I have no idea. You know, I am sick and tired of this. And first my sister questions my character and integrity, and now your ex-wife. I–I’m sorry.

Bill: It’s all right. No, no, no. Don’t apologize. And don’t worry about katie. She thinks she’s protecting me. Katie’s harmless.

Katie: I know you’re hiding something, poppy, and I’m gonna find out what.

Ridge: [Grunts]

Brooke: Ah. Something’s gotten into you.

Ridge: Just keep thinking about you in that lingerie.

Brooke: Oh, is that so?

Ridge: Yeah. Oh, I know. I was gonna ask you. Can you put that on again? ‘Cause I think it needs an adjustment, just… professional stuff, obviously.

Brooke: Obviously. Tonight.

Ridge: Tonight, huh? You can have such an impact on so many women all over the world.

Brooke: I’m really flattered. I am. You have a way of making me feel beautiful and sexy.

Ridge: ‘Cause you are beautiful and sexy.

Brooke: I just can’t help but be a little bit concerned, self-conscious. And what’s really weighing on me is steffy.

Ridge: Steffy?

Brooke: I don’t want to come between you and your daughter.

Steffy: This isn’t a good time, hope.

Hope: Ooh. Could this mood maybe have something to do with your father and my mother? I heard the good news about the bedroom line. Really excited about the photo shoot. And the social media drop to coincide with the global fashion summit in monte carlo. I think putting my mom front and center is really going to be great for the company.

Steffy: Are you trying to get rise out of me?

Hope: Why would I want to do that? Like, my mother and I care about this company. You’re the only one who doesn’t seem excited about her return. She deserves this, steffy. And this opportunity means a lot to her.

Steffy: Yeah. My father used to be my co-ceo. That’s not the case anymore. Brooke’s in the middle. We were supposed to go to… monte carlo together and now brooke’s tagging along. My father and I, we used to have a really good bond, but… clearly things are changing.

Hope: I… I… understand.

Steffy: Please don’t try to patronize me.

Hope: I’m not, actually. I would be hurt if I expected to, you know, share an experience with my father only for that to be given to someone else. But I do think this issue is maybe bigger than us. And your problems are my problems. I think this comes down to our parents’ happiness. They’ve been through so much over the years. There’s so many ups and downs. And now I feel like they’re… they’re finally where they need to be. They finally found their footing and so I don’t think we should stand in the way of that. I think… we need to support them.

Steffy: Support… brooke? Never.

[Brooke sighs]

Hope: You’re back.

Brooke: Yeah. We got sidetracked earlier talking about sheila. I still can’t believe that the police released her. It’s kind of sickening, actually. Anyway, I want to talk to you about something else.

Hope: Okay.

Brooke: Ridge and me.

Ridge: Sheila may still be a suspect.

Steffy: But they let her go.

Ridge: Because they couldn’t hold her.

Steffy: Finn says it’s lack of motive. But two people die at il giardino a couple days apart. Like, there’s no coincidence here.

Ridge: No, probably not, but they couldn’t prove anything.

Steffy: Okay, so if it’s not sheila, then who could have done it?

Poppy: You have questions about me?

Katie: Quite a few.

Poppy: Well, unfortunately, katie, you and I don’t know each other very well.

Katie: Yeah, I’m not sure bill knows you very well either. I’m gonna get the answers that I’m looking for, poppy. I won’t stop until I do. ‘Cause I don’t think bill has any idea what he’s gotten himself into.

Li: Bill. This is a surprise.

Bill: Well, I’m nothing if not full of surprises. I kept thinking I would run into you somewhere, li. You’ve been laying low?

Li: No. Just busy.

Bill: Well, I wanted to come by and thank you for everything. Running the paternity test, making sure it was done correctly. I’m so damn happy to have luna as my daughter.

Li: I was glad to help.

Li: You’re exactly the kind of father my niece deserves, bill.

Bill: I love luna very much.

Li: So do I. You’ll be a good influence in her life.

[Bill chuckles]

Bill: Well, she’s already been very impactful on mine. I, uh–I feel–I don’t know– just somehow different, as a man, as a father.

[Chuckles] Liam says I’m becoming a “girl dad.”

[Li laughs] All I know is I want to keep my family close. That’s more important to me than ever. Spencers stick together. We have each other’s backs. Now, it may be a bit old-fashioned wanting to bring my people together. But now that luna and poppy are family, that means that you are as well.

Li: Bill, you don’t know what that means to me.

Katie: You can make this a whole lot easier. Just tell me what I want to know.

Poppy: Katie, my relationship with bill has nothing to do with you.

Katie: Well, he is my son’s father, and he’s a big part of my life. So if you suspected that bill could be luna’s father, I’ll ask again. Why did you wait over 20 years to let the truth come out?

Brooke: You know about monte carlo, the global fashion summit.

Hope: Yes. It’s going to be quite the event.

Brooke: Yes. Ridge is planning a big splash. He wants me to help announce that I’m going to be the face of the bedroom line once again. Well, not just the face. I mean, it is lingerie, after all.

Hope: This is fantastic. Oh, my gosh.

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: Wait. You don’t–you don’t agree?

Steffy: Ugh. I can’T. I don’t want to talk about sheila anymore.

Ridge: Well, then let’s not. No more sheila. Done.

Steffy: I didn’t mean to snap like that.

Ridge: It’s okay. Move past it. Let’s talk about something else.

Steffy: Yeah. I actually want to talk to you about something work-related.

Ridge: Work-related? Okay, good. Yes. Let’s talk couture.

Steffy: Dad, why would you make brooke the spokesperson for the bedroom line? (America ferrera) yoplait is america’s favorite

Li: You’ve already done so much for me–saving my life.

Bill: I did what anybody would.

Li: Not true, but I appreciate your attempt at modesty, even though it’s not really your style.

Bill: I was just in the right place at the right time, that’s all.

Li: You brought a complete stranger into your home, bill.

Bill: Well, you’re not a stranger anymore. You’re my daughter’s aunt.

Li: I’m so relieved luna’s father is such a good man. I owe you so much.

Bill: Then you wouldn’t mind doing me a favor. I know that you and your sister have had your issues in the past, but I would really like it if you and poppy got along.

[Li scoffs]

Li: Just a little favor, huh?

Bill: Would it hurt to try?

Li: We’ve never been able to do it before.

Bill: You never had me before.

Li: So this is you pulling people together, being old-fashioned.

[Bill chuckles]

Bill: I meant what I said about family being important to me. If there’s anything that I can do to help you and your sister heal your differences, you can count on me. You’re one of us now.

Poppy: Bill understands why I couldn’t say anything.

Katie: But you didn’t just keep it from bill. You kept the secret from your daughter for her entire life.

Poppy: Luna is happy, katie. Everyone’s happy. Everyone’s happy except you.

Katie: I just think it’s odd. You know, you’ve had this secret. You’ve kept it for over 20 years. You refused to tell your daughter who her father is. You denied it when bill asked you if it could be him, and then out of nowhere, you– you what? You change your mind. You get a paternity test done after all this time, time that luna could have known her father, time that bill could have spent with his daughter.

Poppy: It was time that I needed.

Katie: But why? For what? No. No. Something doesn’t add up here, and I’m gonna find out what it is.

Hope: Well, you can’t be surprised. I mean, ridge has wanted to revamp the bedroom line for a while now.

Brooke: I just didn’t picture myself as the spokesperson.

Hope: Oh, why not? It’s your line.

Brooke: It was a long time ago.

Hope: Well, I think it is a great idea. I think of the message you would be sending about timeless beauty and that a woman can feel confident and sexy at every age. I think it’s exciting.

Brooke: Well, I am flattered. And everything ridge was saying was so sweet. I am interested. But am I the right fit for that demographic? Lingerie.

Hope: Well, you wear it, don’t you?

Brooke: Yes.

Hope: And you are as gorgeous as ever.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Honey, that is so sweet. I appreciate your support. Really, I do. I’m not fishing for compliments. I’m just having qualms about wearing lingerie in front of a camera.

Hope: Well, I think anyone would be nervous about that. But, mom, I mean, you say it makes you feel sexy and confident, and maybe that could be a way for you to help other women feel sexy and confident, too. I’m just saying, think about it. You can always tell ridge no. I personally am hoping you will say yes.

Brooke: I already did.

Hope: Wha–oh, my god!

[Both laughing] Congratulations.

Brooke: Oh, thank you.

Steffy: I was here, dad. I was here when you pitched this to brooke. I saw the video. You wanted her to be the spokesperson.

Ridge: I know. I know you weren’t thrilled about it.

Steffy: Of course I’m not thrilled about it. I’m co-ceo. You need to consult me on these things.

Ridge: I did consult you. I told you we’re gonna retool the line. I told you that.

Steffy: Okay. Bringing brooke on, that’s not a relaunch, dad. That’s a flashback. And honestly, that’s something I really don’t want to flashback to.

Ridge: Oh, so this isn’t about business at all. This is about family history.

Steffy: No, it is about business, okay? I’m asking you from a business standpoint, why brooke? Like, there are so many beautiful models in this building. There are so many celebrities who would sign on. Why brooke?

Ridge: She is more beautiful than she ever was, and everyone around the world loves her. That’s why.

Steffy: You unilaterally brought brooke into the executive team, and I had zero say. You want to push brooke to be the lead model? The line is already profitable. I’m sorry, dad. I think you are making a huge mistake. When you purchase a pair of bombas socks,

Bill: There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, li.

Li: I owe you far more than you owe me.

Bill: You’ve helped give me a daughter. You’re under the spencer umbrella now.

Bill: What’s going on?

Li: I’m sorry. I’m just–I’m just so relieved my niece has you in her life. The way you’re so proud and happy to be her father. That’s what a family should look like. I think of mine and…[Sighs] All the grueling hours I put in, all the hard work, all the years. Then my… marriage was destroyed by a lie. Sheila’s affair with my husband. A secret he kept for decades.

Bill: Jack let you down. I won’T. Ask my boys. Family is my priority. Now I have a daughter… due in large part to you.

Li: Bill, you saved my life. That’s the least I could do to repay you.

Ridge: Putting brooke front and center will send an empowering message to women all over the world.

Steffy: You’re not doing this to expand the demographic. You want to do this for brooke. I mean everything. It’s brooke, brooke, brooke.

Hope: I can’t believe you already said yes.

Brooke: I got swept up in the moment. Ridge was saying all these wonderful things about me, and he got me revved up about the idea and saying what a difference I could make.

Hope: Wow. That’s because you will.

Brooke: He is launching a global campaign. How could I possibly say no?

Hope: Oh, my gosh. It’s so exciting, mom. I mean, it will be amazing. You will be amazing. I am beyond thrilled for you, mom. Really I am. Just try not to overthink it, okay? Just be your wonderful self.

Brooke: Oh. Thank you, sweetheart.

Poppy: Who is she to question me like that? The nerve coming into my home, ask me questions. “I’m gonna find the answers. I’ve got questions.”

Luna: Mom? Hi. What’s wrong?

Poppy: It is nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart.

Luna: Okay. But you seem upset. So what happened?

Poppy: I just had another run-in with bill’s ex-wife.

[Knocking]

Katie: Hey.

Li: Katie. Hi.

Katie: Hi. Um, do you have a minute?

Li: Sure. Come on in. What can I do for you?

Katie: I just came from bill’s, and I had another unpleasant experience with your sister, and I was wondering if you could help me with it.

[Instructor] Hold it! Hold it!

Luna: What happened with katie?

Poppy: Oh, that infuriating woman. Just so judgmental and just sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong.

Luna: Oh, my goD. What did she say to you?

Poppy: It doesn’t matter, okay? It’s nothing for you to worry about. You just enjoy this new life that you’re sharing with bill.

Luna: I am. And I love it, mom.

Poppy: I do, too. And I will do whatever it takes to keep it.

Li: You want me to help you with penelope?

Katie: I understand the two of you aren’t close.

Li: We haven’t been for a while.

Katie: Can I ask you about that?

Li: It’s no secret. I don’t like the way she’s lived her life. She refuses to try to make it on her own. She’s always relied on the generosity of wealthy older men.

Katie: So you’re pretty much calling her a gold digger.

Li: Yeah, I’m trying to put that behind me.

Katie: But you have concerns. So do I actually. Which is why I have to ask you.

Li: What?

Katie: You did the paternity test for bill and luna. Is there any chance, any chance at all that… the test could be wrong?

Hope: Well, I think this is going to be great for you and the line.

Brooke: Thank you, honey. I appreciate your support. I do.

Hope: Well, I’m not going to be the only one behind you. It sounds like ridge is all for it.

Ridge: Right. Yes. His idea.

Hope: And it is one that is going to pay off big time.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: I just wish I had your confidence.

Hope: Well, where do you think I got it from? Mom, you come alive in the spotlight. It’s a gift. You generate all of this buzz and electricity. It is marvelous to watch. And I know that brooke’s bedroom and the relaunch is going to be a huge success.

Brooke: I’m glad you think so.

[Sighs] But I know somebody who’s not going to be so excited.

Hope: Steffy.

Steffy: Revamping the line means going forward. You want to go backwards.

Ridge: The bedroom line is part of the forrester legacy. And so, by the way, is brooke.

Steffy: I can see that you’re really excited about this.

Ridge: I am excited about it. I am. I haven’t been this excited in a long time. I’m excited to design for couture. I’m excited about this line being relaunched and about this amazing, empowering message that we’re sending out into the world. Women can be who they want to be right now.

Steffy: I–I get that. And I think that’s something forrester needs to stand behind. But I think it’s going to be lost if brooke is the spokesperson.

Ridge: She’d be a perfect spokesperson for this.

Steffy: No, the spotlight will be on brooke and not the message. Look, I know you want to put brooke front and center because she is your logan. She’s always been your logan. Nothing new there.

[Sighs]

Ridge: I’m really sorry. I’m sorry that the family breakup is still hurting you.

Steffy: So you agree you’re elevating brooke.

Ridge: No, I’m not– no, I’m not elevating anybody. It’s–she has made a lot of contributions to this company without me.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. She tore her family apart.

Ridge: Oh, my goodness. What are you–[Sighs] What do you think happened? Do you think she hit me over the head with a club and started dragging me to a cave? No. I left your mother. I did that. So if you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at me. Or even better, don’t be mad at anybody. Whatever resentment you have, just try to get past that. Not for me or for brooke. For you. Can you try and do that? Steffy, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. You gotta know that. Everything you’re doing here, the work you’re doing is amazing. The way you fight for your family, the way you fight for your marriage. You get up every day and you grab life by the throat. I’ve never seen anything like it. You-you-you’re the most intense woman I’ve ever seen. So I know you can get past this. I know you can. Because this whole forrester versus logan, that’s gone. That’s done.

Steffy: I’m so glad to see you. My hot, sexy, doctor husband.

[Finn chuckles]

Finn: I’m happy to be with you.

Steffy: Well, I was–I was expecting you a little sooner. What held you up?

Hope: I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you from time to time.

Finn: Okay, hope.

Hope: I know. We are adults. But… can a girl dream?

Brooke: Oh, there you are. Did you hear? Sheila got released from custody.

Hope: Oh, I–yes, I heard.

Brooke: You did?

Hope: Yes. I was with finn when dad texted him.

[Birds chirping]

Poppy: You know.

Bill: What?

Poppy: Luna isn’t home right now.

Bill: Are you saying we have this whole place to ourselves?

Poppy: Uh-huh. So I figured that we could start in the bedroom.

Bill: Start, huh? I do like the sound of that. But I don’t think I’ll have the time I need to devote to those activities. I have someplace I need to be, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.

Poppy: All right. I’m gonna hold you to that.

Bill: You do that.

[Phone chiming]

Poppy: All right. I’m gonna take this upstairs.

Bill: Okay.

Poppy: But… I’ll see you later.

[Bill chuckles]

Poppy: Hey. What’s going on?

Bill: Katie. What a pleasant surprise.

Katie: Yeah, well, I need to talk to you about our son and all the changes in your life.

Katie: I know this seems like I’m not letting this go, but I’m concerned. Your life has changed so much, so quickly.

Bill: You have no need to be concerned. Poppy and luna being in my life, it’s all good.

Katie: See, that’s just it. I’m not so sure it is all good. I’m sorry. This is a bit new for me. I mean, I’ve been concerned or worried about you in the past, but that was different. This is– this is different. You’ve always been so self-assured and stubborn and pigheaded.

Bill: Self-assured, stubborn, pigheaded. Yes. Those are the abcs of me.

Katie: See?

Bill: See what? You’re right.

Katie: I just don’t like that you’re not paying attention to what I’m trying to tell you. This thing with poppy and luna, I–I don’t know if it’s everything it appears to be, and I’m worried.

Finn: What about my sexy… ceo wife? How are things here?

Steffy: Uh…hi.

Finn: Not so good?

Steffy: I’m just, uh– I’m a little frustrated.

Finn: Come here. Hey.

Steffy: Hmm?

Finn: What’s going on? I’m all ears.

Steffy: Brooke and hope. It’s all logans… all the time.

Brooke: So, you were with finn?

Hope: Yes. I, um– he happened to run into me, and I was with him when he heard the news. Dad thought he should know right away.

Brooke: Hmm. Okay. Well, it’s all quite shocking. I mean, we all believe that sheila was responsible for the deaths of hollis and the homeless man. Were you able to talk to your father about this?

Hope: Um, we’ve been texting, but he said that he would give me a call once they got settled at home.

Brooke: You can only imagine how steffy took the news, and I’m sure that finn is beside himself, too.

Hope: Actually, I think finn might be a little relieved, knowing that sheila was released. “I got you” by the beginners

Brooke: Finn’s happy about sheila’s release?

Hope: I said relieved, mom. Happy is not at all how I would describe finn.

Brooke: Well, I’m just surprised he would have that kind of reaction after what he said to chief baker.

Hope: Well, I mean, he’s not naive. He knows what sheila’s capable of.

Brooke: Well, that’s why I thought he’d be upset, enraged even.

Hope: Okay, finn obviously wants her to be questioned. That is the right thing to do in this circumstance, given sheila’s history, given her threats to his family. He just wants to protect them as best as he can. He wants due diligence. But I believe that deep down, perhaps finn didn’t believe that sheila was behind tom and hollis’s deaths. I’m really just worried about finn having to tell steffy the news and what her reaction might be.

Steffy: Hope’s just been particularly difficult lately, and I’m trying so hard not to lose my patience.

Finn: You two just don’t understand each other’s motives. Maybe that’s why you’re…

Steffy: Don’t say what I think you’re gonna say here.

Finn: Wait. What? What am I gonna say?

Steffy: I don’t know, that maybe hope and I align on more than we think. Okay, maybe hope and I have similar adjacent goals, but hope is fighting me on everything. And brooke isn’t helping. I feel like I’m in this impossible situation with these two women who are against me.

[Phone chimes] Ugh! Hold on. Let me check this. I think it could be the distributor. Oh. It’s my dad.

[Gasps] What?

Finn: What? Everything okay?

Steffy: Sheila. She’s been released? What? Wait. You already know?

Finn: Yeah. Deacon just texted me.

Steffy: Why didn’t you tell me that?

Finn: Well, honestly, I was torn.

Steffy: Sheila’s been released?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: What are they thinking?

Katie: Don’t you think that everything, this whole situation with poppy and luna has just moved a little too fast?

Bill: I’ve already missed out on so much, katie, and I don’t like wasting time. You know that.

Katie: But that doesn’t mean you have to move them into your home and create this whole family unit. I mean, how well do you know them?

Bill: I know enough. They’re family. What more do I need to know? All right, listen, I really do appreciate your concern. And if the roles reversed, I’m sure I’d react the same way.

[Katie laughs]

Bill: Okay, fine. Fine. Yeah, I would be– I’d be much worse. But I’m telling you, your concern in this case is unwarranted.

Katie: Well, I wish I felt the same way.

Bill: You said you wanted to talk about will.

Katie: Yes. Will. He’s going to be home soon, and I’m concerned about how he’s going to fit into this whole thing with poppy and her– and your daughter.

Bill: I’m sure it’s all going to work out. Our son is nothing if not resilient. And you know what? He may love having a sister.

[Katie sighs] Okay, I can see that we’re going to come to no sort of agreement on this thing, and I have somewhere to go.

Katie: Okay, well, I’ve got some paperwork that I need to find for will, and I think it’s– I think it’s around here. I think it’s in there.

Bill: Okay, well, you’re good. I’ve got to get to this meeting. Right? You’re good.

Katie: But–before you go, I know that you’re enamored with the idea of having a daughter.

Bill: It’s not an idea, katie. Luna is my daughter, and I love her, and I vowed to take care of her. In fact, uh, we have discussed adoption. I’d like to make it official and give luna the spencer name.

Katie: Oh, my god. Bill, poppy and luna have not been in your life that long. I mean, you’ve moved them into your home, into will’s home, and now you’re talking about adoption and giving her your name? You need to be careful here, because I know you don’t want to believe it, but I get a weird vibe from poppy. Just please tell me that you’re being cautious. I’ll be cautious.

[Kisses] I’ve got to get to this meeting.

[Scoffs]

[Door closes]

Poppy: Anything I can help you find?

Katie: Oh. I didn’t know that you were here.

Poppy: You know, this is becoming a habit.

Katie: What is?

Poppy: Walking in and finding you in bill’s arms. Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.

Brooke: Well, I hope finn doesn’t tell steffy that he’s relieved, because I don’t think that’s gonna go over well.

Hope: But his feelings are valid, mom. He should be able to tell his wife how he feels without it being some big betrayal.

Brooke: Steffy has been very upfront with finn when it comes to sheila.

Hope: And finn has been a wonderful husband to her. He has been loving and understanding and committed.

Brooke: Right. Committed to steffy. Now, I don’t need to remind you, do I, that he is married to steffy.

Hope: You can stop reminding me, mom. I know.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Hope: But I do question more and more if steffy deserves a man like finn.

Steffy: No, no, no, finn. This can’t be happening again. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Finn: It’s just– it’s shocking.

Steffy: No, no. How– how do the authorities just let her go like that? God, I thought that I could finally feel safe again, that I could finally breathe, and then– I can’t believe I allowed this. I can’t believe I allowed this.

Finn: Wait, wait, wait. What did you allow? Okay, her release isn’t on you.

Steffy: No, that I allowed myself to believe that justice would finally be served. But now sheila is out again, and now she has another opportunity to strike. She has another opportunity to show up at our house unannounced. You could be manipulated. She could hurt me or the kids. It just adds a whole other level of panic. How is this not over? I thought this fear could finally subside, this nightmare was over. Oh, my god. I don’t understand this. It had to have been sheila.

Poppy: I keep finding you in my home, badmouthing me to bill.

Katie: Well, I care about bill. He’s the father of my son. He’s important to me.

Poppy: Bill is also the father to my daughter, so obviously he’s important to me, too.

Katie: Well, if you want to know what I was saying to him, I’m happy to tell you. I’m not here to hide anything.

Poppy: No need, because I heard it all, every word, how you think this is moving too quickly, how he doesn’t know us well enough. And I agree. Katie, no one is more surprised and shocked than I am. Luna and I are not trying to invade or overtake anything. We are here because bill invited us, and he’s been more than generous and an absolute gentleman.

Katie: Ever the accommodating girlfriend.

Poppy: That’s right. I am his girlfriend. And I’m not going to hide how much I love him. You let him go. You having a little bit of seller’s remorse, katie? It’s kind of obvious. You want bill back, don’t you? At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Finn: I hate how upset you are. And I totally understand. All I can do is assure you that you and the kids will always be safe.

Steffy: No, you make me feel safe. You do.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: And when you supported me when they took sheila in for questioning, like, that meant the world to me. I just don’t understand why the police could do something like this. Like, how could they let her go?

Finn: All we know is that– that there wasn’t anything tying her to the scene.

Steffy: Oh, god.

Finn: And it’s a possible lack of motive.

Steffy: You can’t be serious.

Finn: No, no, no. Think about it, babe. I mean, tom, why would sheila kill the man that saved her life and officiated their wedding? And hollis was a longtime employee, deacon’s friend. I don’t–like, what would the motive be there?

Steffy: I don’t know. Who knows why sheila does what she does? What I do know is that this woman is evil, and she is capable of doing something like this.

Finn: I agree. She’s capable. And don’t get me wrong. I am grateful that chief baker took her in for questioning. It was the right thing to do.

Steffy: Well, if sheila didn’t do it, who did? Who?

Poppy: Just admit it, katie. This is not about luna and me. It never has been. This is about you and your feelings for bill.

Katie: Something doesn’t make sense. I mean, you show up in town, and seemingly overnight, you have this daughter with bill. It was so abrupt, so sudden. I mean, I have a right to question that. This is the house where bill and I raised our son.

Poppy: Not anymore. This is now the house where bill and I are raising our daughter.

Katie: You know, will be home soon. He’s gonna be here, which means I’m gonna be here.

Poppy: So you’ll visit, and then you’ll leave.

[Katie sighs]

Katie: Something doesn’t add up. Bill doesn’t see it because he’s so in love with this idea of having a daughter. But I see it. Your story has holes. You hooked up with bill at a music festival a long time ago. So if you were that casual with men, then there must have been others. How many? You know, I’ve talked to luna. She’s told me how much she wanted to know who her father was and how much she wanted to have him in her life. And yet you’ve suspected for all of these years that bill could be her father and you kept it from her? I mean, why would you wait 20 years to take the steps, to find out for sure, to finally take a paternity test? Now you’re here, lady of the manor, protecting your relationship with bill, as if you’re worried that someone’s gonna sneak in and take it away from you. It’s almost as if you’re hiding something that could ruin everything. Oh, I’ve got a lot of questions about you, poppy, and I’m gonna find out the answers to every single one of them.

Hope: There’s nothing wrong with having a little innocent conversation.

Finn: I don’t think it’s a good idea to be talking this way.

Steffy: What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope.

Hope: Oh, come on. Are you surprised to find out that I have a little crush on you maybe? I mean, it can’t be that surprising.

Finn: Okay, listen, hope. I, um– I know you’re just having fun and playing around.

Hope: Perhaps. But you still haven’t told me. I mean, can you make a girl’s dreams come true?

Ridge: Well, you just interrupted a very important meeting.

Brooke: Your father and i locked the door for privacy, steffy.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: I thought charlie forgot to unlock the door. I came in here ’cause I was looking for something. Oh, thank god.

Ridge: Well, I’ll call you. I got your text about reviewing the budget.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, you do that. I’m tripping over too many logans today.

Brooke: Sorry steffy found us together like that.

Ridge: I am sorry we were interrupted.

Brooke: Well, maybe we should pick this up when we get home later.

Ridge: Maybe. For sure, we gotta pick it up. But before all that, we should finish our discussion.

Brooke: Oh, about that. I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Ridge: Why is that? You created the bedroom line.

Brooke: Yes. That was a long time ago.

Ridge: Okay, so what? You were the face of it then. You should be now as well.

Brooke: I don’t think so, ridge. I don’t think I’m of appropriate age to be modeling lingerie, let alone be the face of…

Ridge: Why are you being ridiculous? You’re gorgeous. Maybe more gorgeous now than you were then.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Liam: Hey.

Steffy: Hey. Look at you, liam. You’re looking sharp.

Liam: Uh, yeah. I’m supposed to meet with carter about the fashion summit.

Steffy: Yeah, monte carlo. It’s gonna be a blast. I can’t wait. I wish I could leave right now, actually.

Liam: Wow. Any particular reason?

Steffy: You know, I just want to be somewhere that’s logan-free, you know. Like, if there were a place where no logans were allowed, like, sign me up. I want to go. I would like to live there.

[Liam snickers]

Finn: Whatever’s going on with you, I’m, uh… I’m sensing my wife is right in the middle.

Hope: Mm. You may be right about that, and you may be wrong.

Finn: Did something go down between you guys?

Hope: Hmm. We might have gotten into a little bit of a tiff earlier.

Finn: So, this, um– this is about steffy. Is there any chance that you guys will ever get along?

Hope: I was willing to try, but I don’t really want to make this about steffy right now. This is all about you.

I have moderate to severe

plaque psoriasis.

Ridge: Well, I wish you would reconsider. Fashion summit in monte carlo’s approaching, and I think… it’d be the perfect place to restart your modeling career.

Brooke: Okay. I adore you for believing in me. I do.

Ridge: I believe in you because you’re the same woman I married all those years ago.

Brooke: I’m glad you still feel that way. It’s just– I don’t look like I did in my 20s and 30s.

Ridge: Who does?

[Brooke sighs] We’re better now. We have wisdom. We have experience. That’s beauty, real beauty.

Brooke: Well, to tell you the truth, I am nervous about putting myself out there and being scrutinized like that, like people saying, “who does she think she is?”

Ridge: All right, I understand all that. I get it. I don’t want you doing anything you don’t wanna you do. But we have…a real chance to do something special here, make a real impact with a lot of people. Because you, you’re living proof. You’re a unicorn. A freaking unicorn. Living proof that…beauty just gets better every year.

Steffy: All right, please keep me updated as we get closer. All right, thank you. Bye. Ah, the summit in monaco, it couldn’t come soon enough. It’s gonna be a lot of work, but I’m really excited to be spending this time with my father and away from anything and everything logan.

Liam: Well, here’s hoping you learn how to coexist.

Steffy: First, I need to show some decorum and respect here at the office. Like my father and brooke in the other room. Like, I can’t unsee that. I can’T.

Liam: I understand. I think you will survive both that and the whole thing with hope.

[Steffy sighs]

Steffy: Okay, I do think hope and I could get along if she’d just leave my husband alone and stop filling his head with all these insane ideas about sheila.

Liam: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Speaking of finn, I, uh–so, I was at the hospital earlier. I was getting my physical, and I took the opportunity to pay him a visit.

Steffy: Oh, I bet he was stoked about that.

Liam: No blood was shed. I promise. It was the opposite. I actually, um–I don’t know. I just wanted to commend him on his part in getting sheila in custody. The guy is actually… putting you and his family first now.

Finn: You know, I’ve been thinking about you lately and those migraines. Or did you even have migraines?

Hope: Yes. The migraines were real, unfortunately. Although they are better now, thanks to you and your help. You really do have magic hands.

Finn: Hmm. Wow. You are something today.

Hope: Sorry. I’m not making you nervous, am I?

Finn: No. I’ve performed thousands of surgeries. I– I have ice water in my veins.

Hope: Oh, I don’t know. Might be a little more hot-blooded than you think.

Finn: Good one. [Chuckles] Look, if you’re trying to get a rise out of me, it’s not gonna work.

Hope: Well, don’t count me out just yet. I still have time.

Finn: Well, on that note, I’m gonna go find my wife. And you should button up.

Hope: Ooh. It’s not often that men tell me to button up. Most men wouldn’T.

Finn: I’m not most men.

Hope: No. There it is.

[Phone beeps] Touché, john finnegan. Touché.

Finn: Hey, um… I just got a text from your dad.

Hope: About what?

Finn: Sheila’S… been released.

Hope: Wow. Uh, okay. Um, how does that make you feel? (Granddaughter laughing)

Brooke: It’s just hard to put into words. I mean, I feel good about myself. I always have.

Ridge: You should feel good about yourself. Look at you. You’re stunning.

Brooke: You’re biased. You like me no matter what.

Ridge: I like you no matter what, because this is undeniable. I’m looking at it.

Brooke: What? What? This body that blessed me with four wonderful children?

Ridge: Yeah, that body. You should be loud and proud with this thing. You should be on billboards, magazines, tv shows. You should celebrate where you are right now. Don’t go away. Stay right here. Ah. All right. I just finished this. This is from the line.

Brooke: Oh, wow.

Ridge: Will you try it on, please?

Brooke: This is exquisite.

Ridge: Come on. Just put it on. Be our champion, our legend, our icon.

Brooke: Okay. Well, if you put it that way, yes, but only for you.

Ridge: Thank you.

Steffy: Did I hear you correctly? Did you compliment my husband?

Liam: Uh, yes, I did. And, yes, I’m just as surprised as you are.

Steffy: Wow. Okay, we gotta send out a press release for that one.

Liam: Well, you know, he deserved it. He finally– he stood up for you and his family.

Steffy: He always does.

Liam: No, he does not always does. Not when it comes to sheila. That’s the whole problem.

Steffy: Oh, okay. But he’s had it up to here with his birth mother.

Liam: Well, good. I mean, better late than never. I know he’s been struggling with this. I know he’s been confused.

Steffy: Not anymore.

Liam: Well, yeah, not anymore. Yeah. If he can’t turn his back on sheila after these two mysterious deaths at il giardino, then…

Steffy: Well, let’s call it what it is. Cold, calculated murder.

Liam: Yeah, probably. I mean, let’s see what the investigation turns up, but either way, your boy came through, and he didn’t allow himself to be snowed by sheila, last minute or not.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m proud of him.

Liam: Let’s hope it sticks.

Steffy: Way to be optimistic.

Liam: I’m optimi– I’m optimistic. I’m just– it’s–I’m cautiously optimistic.

Steffy: Liam, trust me. It’s over. Sheila’s finally in custody.

Hope: So, sheila’s been released?

Finn: Yeah, that’s what deacon just texted me. I mean, apparently, after interrogating her, they found no evidence of guilt.

Hope: I really didn’t see that coming. Uh… I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Finn: Uh, I mean, I–

Hope: Finn, come on. You know you can be real with me. I’m not going to judge you.

Finn: Yeah, no, I know. Uh, look, I mean, I– I guess part of me is relieved. I mean, deep down, I didn’t really believe that she murdered tom and hollis.

Hope: You didn’t?

Finn: I mean, not anymore. I mean, just the more time that I had to think about it, like, why would she? Like, what would be the reason? She’s happy. She’s focused on turning her life around. Why risk all of that? It doesn’t make sense.

Hope: Okay, to be honest, I don’t really know what to believe anymore.

Finn: No. Frankly, me neither. I mean, look, given her history, I thought it was important that the cops question her, but, I mean, the last thing that I wanted was for her to be found guilty of murdering tom and hollis.

Hope: I’m really happy for you, finn. I’ll be honest.

Liam: Well, it’s nice we can all relax, knowing sheila’s at the police station.

Steffy: Yeah. Next stop is prison. She can rot in that cell for the rest of her life.

Liam: Yeah, well, if there’s any justice in the universe.

Steffy: No, this is the end. She is not getting away with it this time.

Liam: Well, we said that because she shouldn’t have gotten away with it when she shot you and your husband, but still…

Steffy: I know. I know. But I’m really gonna enjoy watching her go down.

Liam: You’re really– you’re confident it’s her, right? Two deaths at il giardino in a matter of days?

Steffy: Absolutely. What, sheila lives 20 feet away? She’s the first person to find hollis’s body? There’s no coincidences here. This is an open-and-shut case. Liam, sheila’s finally gonna pay for her crimes.

Hope: I mean, I still don’t really trust sheila.

Finn: Well, I certainly don’t either. But… regardless, she’s now been interviewed and freed fair and square. I mean, sheila’s officially a free woman. And, yeah, no, I know what you’re thinking– that I’m getting swept up in my feelings for my birth mother.

Hope: Hmm. No. I just don’t want you getting into any more trouble.

Finn: I won’T. I’m not going anywhere near sheila. I’m gonna honor steffy and her wishes.

Hope: I still meant what I said. I am happy for you, finn, and my dad. Although I do think it was a mistake getting married to her. I mean, I probably shouldn’t have even been in that wedding, but I… did it for dad. That’s it.

Finn: Sounds like we’re basically on the same page.

Hope: Yeah, I think we’re pretty in sync in more ways than maybe even we can comprehend. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be able to admit how in sync we really are.

[Finn chuckles]

Ridge: Do you need an extra hand?

Brooke: Nope. Just about finished.

Ridge: Because I designed it, I know where everything goes if you, I mean–you know.

Brooke: Ta-da!

[Laughs]

Ridge: You look amazing.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. You’re just saying that.

Ridge: I’m not–no. You–you. Wow. You look fantastic. See, this is why you need to be the face of the brooke bedroom line. This is it. Because no one else has this kind of charisma. No one else has the kind of energy it takes to make these pieces shine. Think of the story you could tell for women all over the world, that beauty is where you want it to be, no matter where you are in life. Do this for me. Come on. Do it for the company. No, do it for me.

Brooke: Well, it is nice to feel valued.

Ridge: You are valued. Because you’re irreplaceable. Come on.

[Brooke sighs] It’s funny, you know. I don’t feel my age. I feel like that young girl that I was when I met you. I know I’m getting older, and that’s okay. I mean, aging is a privilege, right? Not everybody gets to do it. So… this next chapter of my life, I look forward to taking risks and taking on all kinds of challenges, contributing to the community and not passing up an opportunity, but still staying true to myself. I have to tell you, the thought of modeling lingerie on a global stage is frightening as all heck.

[Laughs] But that’s what makes me want to do it.

[Gasps]

Ridge: What did you say? You gonna do it?

Brooke: Yes. Yes, I’m gonna do it.

Ridge: Yes?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: That is– that is what I wanted to hear. You’re not gonna regret this. You know. I know. My beautiful, beautiful logan. Thank you.

Brooke: Aw. Well, I’m only as beautiful as the love reflected in your eyes, my sexy, sexy man.

Ridge: I will always love you.

Brooke: I will always love you.

Ridge: But now the world is gonna fall in love with you all over again.

Steffy: Last night was incredible. I haven’t felt so connected to you in A… very long time.

Finn: I couldn’t agree more.

Steffy: Not–[Laughs] Not just about that. I mean, that was amazing, but it–it was more than that. I’m really grateful that you supported me and you encouraged chief baker to take sheila in for questioning.

Finn: Have you seen the paper today?

Steffy: Yeah, I’m looking at it right now, actually. Do you think she’s actually gonna be charged for her crimes this time? Like, I just want sheila out of our lives for good. I don’t think I could take anything else. At least it’s a little bit of good news. Uh, hey, babe, I gotta go.

Finn: Okay. Have a great day.

Steffy: You, too. I love you so much.

Finn: I love you, too.

Hope: Finn?

Steffy: Yeah.

Hope: I heard what happened. So he’s supportive of sheila getting taken in for questioning?

Steffy: Yep. Whatever gray area you think exists for finn when it comes to his mother, it’s gone. He supports me over sheila.

[Knocking]

Liam: Hi. You, uh– you got a sec?

Finn: Liam. Hey. Uh, yeah. Come in.

Liam: Yeah, I was, uh– I was just at my annual physical. Uh, I figured maybe I would stop by and do something I haven’t done in…a while– give you credit.

Ridge: You know, we live in this town, and… sometimes you turn around, there’s trouble. But lately, we turn around, and l the trouble we can find is sheila. Woman can’t help herself, can she?

Brooke: No. She was out free. She even tricked deacon into marriage, resorted to her old ways.

Ridge: Well, she’s in custody now, so…

Brooke: Well, hopefully, she stays there.

Ridge: I like what finn did today. He supported his wife. It was good.

Brooke: He did. Yes.

Ridge: Well, that’s enough. Enough about sheila. Let’s talk about the beautiful logan.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Hi.

Brooke: You want to focus on me, huh?

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Specifically, your beauty. That’s what I’ve been focusing on.

Brooke: Oh, I see. Been working on the bedroom.

Ridge: Yeah, nonstop since you said you were gonna be the star of it.

Brooke: Did I say star, or did I say dip my toe in?

Ridge: Nothing. No, nothing about toes. You said star. You want to be the star of it.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s just– I’m not sure if I should be modeling lingerie at my age.

Ridge: I looked it up. 25 is the perfect time to go back into it. Ask anybody.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: 30. It’s my last number.

Brooke: Aw, I’m too old.

Finn: You wanna give me credit?

Liam: Yeah, well, I just learned that sheila’s in custody.

Finn: For questioning. Formal charges have yet to be brought.

Liam: Yeah, but they gotta be imminent, right? Listen, it doesn’t matter. I don’t even–I don’t care why she’s locked up. The fact is that she’s locked up, and that means steffy and the kids can’t be hurt by her anymore. And from what I understand, you were very supportive of that. So… thank you for doing the right thing.

Steffy: Finn finally sees sheila for who she truly is. This connection he had to his mother, it’s permanently severed, despite your efforts to the contrary.

Hope: My efforts? Do you mean just listening to finn and validating his feelings?

Steffy: No. You did get into my husband’s head. You made him believe that there was a chance that sheila could be a regular person functioning in society. But that’s not true. Look what happened with hollis. Look what happened with tom. Do not interfere anymore, okay? Do not interfere in their relationship. Let’s pray that justice will finally be served.

Hope: Okay. Fine. That’s great. But, like, do you want to just keep adding to the list of things that I’m doing wrong, like things that you have an issue with me about, steffy. You continually undermine me here at the company. You undermine my mother’s place. You’ve interfered in my personal life. I mean, there’s just so many fun things for you to do.

Steffy: As co-ceo, my job right now is to focus on the lines we produce, the employees underneath me. That’s it. Why? Because I’m in charge, not you, hope, and certainly not your mom. Have you tried these new febreze car vent clips?

Ridge: What is going on with you? Why are you being ridiculous?

Brooke: Ridge, that’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid, looking ridiculous. Modeling lingerie at my age.

Ridge: What do you– at your age? You are more gorgeous than ever. Do you know what you do to me, like, on a daily basis? You–you are– I’m designing stuff, and I can’t get you out of my head. So all I’m doing is thinking about you all day, ’cause you’re so enticing. You’re gorgeous, and you get my blood going.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Well, it’s good to know that I still have it.

Ridge: Yeah, you still have it.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Mmm.

[Brooke moaning]

Liam: I admit I was worried about, well, you. I mean, where your mind was when it came to sheila.

Finn: I still believe people can change. Yeah, even someone like sheila. But if she killed two people, after all this talk about being a better person, it doesn’t even matter if she did it or not. I know that she cannot have a place in my life either way. But more importantly, steffy knows I know it. I’ve proven it to her. And because of that, steffy and I have never been stronger.

Liam: Well, that’s– that’s you sending me a message, right?

Finn: Yeah, liam, I am.

Hope: Look, steffy, I know you think that being a logan means that we have no class.

Steffy: No, I don’t think that. But I do believe you can be a little manipulative.

Hope: Says the woman who manipulated thomas into moving out of the country.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Stop pulling this victim card when it comes to thomas.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I am not. But I’m also not going to be a fool, steffy. I know you would have been happy with thomas being with anyone as long as it wasn’t me. And it honestly makes me sad, because I thought at one point that, I don’t know, maybe we were close to really becoming friends. And I– I thought… that’s what you wanted. And I wanted it, too. But now, I mean, it just seems nearly impossible.

Steffy: Okay, look, I’m always gonna have thomas’s back. I’m not gonna support an unhealthy relationship.

Hope: That’s your perspective, steffy.

Steffy: This isn’t about you, hope. This is about my brother. I mean, he’s moved on. He’s engaged to another woman. I didn’t manipulate any of this. This was all thomas. The sooner you accept that he’s moved on, that he’s happy, we can–

Hope: I told you that I gave him my blessing, that I wished him and paris the best. Steffy, you got what you wanted. Isn’t that enough? You always do. But I don’t know. I would be careful, because one of these days, someone… might cut you down to size.

Steffy: You?

Time to press rewind with…

Liam: You know, I’m really not the one you have to send messages to about your commitment to your marriage. It’s– it’s steffy that needs to hear that stuff.

Finn: I’m actually on my way to see her now. Rest assured, liam, she and I have great communication. She knows where I stand and that I always put her first. And it is way past time that you learned that, too. I know that you’ve been going to see steffy, telling her that she can’t trust me, that I’m a mama’s boy or whatever. That has to stop, liam. I’m warning you. Don’t interfere with my marriage.

Steffy: Cut me down to size. What is that supposed to mean? Really? What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope. I’ve already been through enough. I don’t want to deal with this. I certainly don’t want to deal with this kind of energy.

[Phone chimes] I have a lot going on right now. My schedule is nonstop, and– and zende wants to see you about your line. So why don’t you head on down, uh, backstage? Focus on hope for the future. Make use of your time instead of these veiled threats.

[Sighs] Ugh! Logans. Oh, god.

[Doorknob rattling] Damn it, charlie. How many times do I tell you? Unlock the doors before your shift.

[Scoffs] What? What on earth? Okay. Oh, no. Oh. Whoa. No. Ugh. Great. Great. Another logan.

Hope: No. The designs look gorgeous, zende. Yep, I’m looking at that one right now. Well, I can try it on next and let you know what I think. I’ll send you a photo. Okay. Sure. Yeah. I’ll see you when you get in. Okay.

Finn: Tell him it’s a normal reaction. He shouldn’t worry. I’m not at the hospital right now actually. I stepped out for a bit, but… oh, uh, I’m sorry. I have to go. Something came up. I am so sorry. I should have knocked.

Hope: No. Welcome to what it is like being in a fashion house. Although I’m sure you’ve seen more in your line of work. Hi. Hi, by the way.

Finn: Hi, yourself.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t expecting to have company back here. Clearly.

Finn: Yeah. I apologize. I was on my way to see steffy. I needed to take this call in a quiet place. I had no idea I’d be walking in on–on that.

Hope: It’s fine. Actually, this is hope for the future’s latest. What do you think?

I’m jimmy dean

and only one thing

Steffy: What are you doing? Can you just put on some clothes or something?

Brooke: Okay, well, we locked the door. We were expecting some privacy, actually.

Steffy: Oh, that’s great. Can you just wait till you get home? ‘Cause this is just–it’s too…

Ridge: Hey. What’s going on with you?

Steffy: Nothing. I don’t want to see this. This is weird. And I certainly don’t want to see brooke. Another logan.

Hope: You like what you see?

Finn: Uh, yeah. It’s very, um…

Hope: What?

Finn: Classy and, um, provocative. Uh… look, I should get out of your hair. You’re obviously in the middle of something.

Steffy: Cut me down to size. What is that supposed to mean? What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope.

Hope: You know what? No. Finn, you– you don’t have to go. Besides, I think we should, um– we should talk about something. I mean, it’s no secret. I’m sure you can tell.

Finn: Tell what?

Hope: Well, okay. You gave me really good advice about thomas, that I deserved, you know, a man who wasn’t dishonorable to me in the past, that I should, you know, think about my own wants and desires and what I need and wait for a real love, which I believe I’ve found. For myself. I mean, the most important kind of love. And you helped me realize that. So, um, I just want to thank you because I was struggling, and you didn’t have to help me, but you did. And you are a selfless man, finn. And now’s the time I’m going to say it. Steffy is lucky to have you. Although I just am not sure how grateful she is to have that. Just seeing how she acts in the company, downplaying the logans’ contributions, continually disrespecting my mother and me. I mean, it’s like a constant battle. And so I’m just– I have to ask. Is that what it’s like at home? Does steffy appreciate you? Because you are a man, finn, who deserves to be appreciated. I mean, I’ll even admit it. I– I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you from time to time.

Finn: Hope. You can’t talk this way.

Hope: No, I know. I know. We are adults, but… can’t a girl dream? Can’t a girl dream?

Here’s a look ahead.

Katie: I’m getting a weird vibe from poppy.

Deacon: What if somebody actually made it look like an overdose? In reality, it was a murder.

Brooke: I’m going to be the face of the bedroom line.

Hope: Oh, my god.

Brooke: Well, not just the face. I mean, it is lingerie after all.

Finn: He and donna are okay with kelly and hayes sleeping over?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Grandad suggested it, and he really is just a big kid himself.

Finn: [Chuckles]

Steffy: [Exhales]

Finn: A glass of wine?

Steffy: How about the whole bottle? It’s been that kind of day.

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Just letting everything just sink in.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: We need to find out about tom and hollis, that they died both from an overdose, the same drug. And then chief baker takes sheila in for questioning? You urged him to do that.

Finn: If you asked me what I thought, I told him the truth.

Steffy: Sheila was really surprised. She thought that you were going to defend her.

Finn: The way I have in the past? It’s okay. You can say it. I’ve made a lot of allowances for my birth mother’s actions.

Steffy: But no more. You stood up for me. And our family.

Brooke: So sheila is at the police station being questioned.

Ridge: If baker’s smart, he’s gonna hold onto sheila until she tells him the truth.

Hope: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why sheila would want either of them dead.

Brooke: Maybe they had something on her. Maybe they knew something sheila didn’t want getting out.

Hope: Okay, well, like what?

Ridge: I don’t– it’s sheila. It could be anything. She’s always keeping somebody else’s secret, protecting somebody, right?

Hope: Uh, when you talked to steffy, did she mention anything about my dad?

Ridge: What? No. I’ll mention something about your dad. May I? He should get on the phone, find the best divorce lawyer in the country, and get rid of that mess he’s in. What’s he thinking? Why would he marry that woman? Did she dupe him the same way she duped finn? Probably. But you know what? At least finn was smart enough to walk away from it, because according to steffy, he was defending his wife and his kids in front of this crazy birth mother. So not all is lost. It’s a step in the right direction.

[Theme music playing]

Brooke: So, did they find more evidence that points to sheila?

Ridge: Not yet. But the toxicology report is damning. And tom and hollis, they died of the same drug, same dose. And who do you think could administer something like that? Psycho nurse. So I’m glad baker’s holding onto her. And I’m also glad that finn has seen the light.

Hope: What do you mean?

Ridge: You know what I mean. He’s always tied to sheila in some way, but I think he’s figured it out because maybe he saw that it’s affecting his marriage, so he’s stepping away from it. And maybe now he can be the husband and the father that steffy needs him to be.

Finn: I feel like a fool defending sheila so often in the past.

Steffy: There was a lot of conflicting emotions, and finn, I– I know you. I care about people.

Finn: But that’s no excuse. Too many times I’ve left you feeling unheard. Your concerns were very real. I’m sorry.

Steffy: Hey, hey, it’s okay. That’s behind us now. I mean, you were there for me when it mattered today. You were there for kelly and hayes and, like I said, you stood up for us. And I love you so much for it. Always dry scoop before you run.

Ridge: Steffy loves finn. Some of the choices he’s made.

Brooke: Where sheila’s concerned.

Ridge: Yeah, where sheila’s concerned. He always gives her the benefit of the doubt. He should have pushed her away a long time ago.

Hope: Well, he would have if she wasn’t his birth mother.

Ridge: Li is his mother. She’s the one that raised him when he was a kid. Am I wrong?

Brooke: Thank god. If sheila didn’t give him up, she would have raised him. Can you imagine the life he would have had?

Ridge: What’s the difference? He still let her into his life after he knew who she was. He should have pushed her away, told her to go away, and maybe he wouldn’t have this problem. Maybe she would’ve gotten the message. Or maybe not. It’s sheila. I don’t know.

Brooke: Yeah, you know sheila. When lines are drawn, she manages to step right over them or erase them completely, especially when finn is involved.

Ridge: Well, that’s it. Steffy can see what sheila’s doing, and she wants finn to see it, as well.

Brooke: But he couldn’t cut sheila out of his life. Not completely.

Ridge: But that’s it. This is the problem. Steffy thinks that he can’t be the husband and the father that she needs.

Hope: Steffy shouldn’t have to question his commitment and love to their family. I mean, it’s– it’s pretty obvious. Steffy is lucky to be married to a man like finn. She’s very lucky.

Steffy: Sheila’s always been her own worst enemy. Like nothing is ever enough. She’s never satisfied with what she has.

Finn: You mean her, like, her life with deacon?

Steffy: That I will never understand. Like, how could he love a woman like that? And honestly, after everything that’s happened, I really thought that maybe, just maybe, sheila could change and be, like, a better wife. But no. Now she’s implicated in this very suspicious death, and– at her husband’s restaurant. Like, this is gonna be really bad business for him.

Finn: Oh. Yeah and he might have to lock his doors up soon. He’s gonna lose everything he worked for.

Steffy: All because she killed two men that ticked her off for some reason.

Finn: Well, and I’ve been trying to figure out, like, what that reason would be. Why would she go after tom and hollis?

Steffy: Finn, you’re not–

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: No, I meant every word I said to baker earlier. Yes, I believe in second chances, but everywhere that sheila goes, bad things happen, and it would be irresponsible to just take her word when she says that she had nothing to do with tom and hollis’ deaths.

Steffy: In all likelihood, she did it. But you know, she’s not gonna cop to it.

Finn: Hey, it’s up to the cops now. But whatever they find out, just never forget that you and the kids will always be my priority.

[Cellphone chimes]

Ridge: Oh, no, I forgot. I have a meeting with the mayor. I gotta go. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Oh, no, that’s okay. Yeah. Of course.

Ridge: Bye.

Brooke: Oh… oh, my gosh. With all this drama swirling around about sheila, of course we’re gonna forget things like that.

Hope: I’m just– my mind’s on dad. I hope he’s okay. But do you think I should go and check on him or–?

Brooke: No, no, just let things settle down a bit. Besides, he’s probably at the police station cheerleading for sheila. But now I can have a moment alone with you.

Hope: Oh, did you want to talk about something?

Brooke: Well, I just wanna see how you’re doing.

Hope: Ah, you mean now that paris has left with thomas and douglas?

Brooke: I know how you miss douglas when he’s not around.

Hope: I do. Terribly. And I will always be his mother. But, mom, you should know that thomas made it a point to say to me that he wants to prioritize our relationship, that he’s not trying to keep my son from me, so…

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: You’ll also be happy to know I– I have come to terms with their engagement.

Brooke: You have?

Hope: Yes. I gave thomas my blessing, and I wished him the best.

Brooke: Oh…

Hope: So, I mean, it’s not… easy to accept the fact that he has moved on with paris, but, um… I don’t– I don’t know. Maybe he’s right. Maybe we were never meant to be.

Hope: Wait, wait. What do you mean, who’s right? Thomas?

Hope: No. Finn.

Hope: Finn believes that I can do better than thomas, and I know you felt the same way.

Brooke: Okay, well, now I’m not concerned about thomas. I’m concerned about your feelings for finn.

Hope: Mom, relax. We’re just– we’re good friends.

Brooke: Honey, things can happen, things that you never intend to. A perfectly innocent moment could suddenly ignite. I want you to be careful around him. I really do. He’s happily married, honey.

Hope: Well, I mean, according to steffy.

Brooke: According to finn, he loves steffy.

Hope: [Sighs] I know, I know.

Brooke: I just don’t want you to do something that you’re going to regret.

Hope: Mom, I– I can handle it. Besides, I am well aware that finn is devoted to steffy. She would never let me forget that fact.

Brooke: Okay, well, don’t forget they have a family, too.

Hope: I am also aware of that, but so… is finn not allowed to have friends?

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Hope: So we’re good friends. And it’s through that friendship that I have come to realize that I am deserving of a man who is intelligent, loyal, capable. A man just for me.

Brooke: Yes, and that man won’t be finn.

Hope: No, I mean, if finn happened to have an identical twin brother who was available, I mean, I wouldn’t complain. But, uh, since that is not a possibility and finn is married to steffy…

Brooke: Somebody that you’ve been at odds with lately.

Hope: Who I will probably always be at odds with. I just don’t want that to affect my relationship with finn.

Steffy: As much as I miss the kids, it’s really nice to have a night to ourselves.

Finn: Yeah, especially after the day we’ve had.

Steffy: [Groans] But you did the right thing. Telling chief baker what you did. And, yeah, even though sheila is your birth mother, this is a woman who shot you. And I think about all the things she’s done to us. I mean, even your real mother, she drove her off the road. And now tom and hollis.

Finn: Hey, honey, we have better things to do than talk about this. Especially when I’m lying here with the sexiest wife in the world. I have an idea.

Steffy: Go on.

Finn: No more talk. Let’s get you out of these clothes. Honestly, I was scared when I was told age

Brooke: Sweetheart, we’ve had a lot of conversations about finn. You’ve admitted to me that you’re attracted to him.

Hope: Well, would you rather I had lied and just told you what you wanted to hear?

Brooke: I’m glad that you were honest with me. I just want you to be honest with yourself. Finn is off limits.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I realize that.

Brooke: He is married to a woman that you’ve had a history with, especially dealing with men.

Hope: Well, what can I say? We have similar tastes.

Brooke: Okay, well, you’ve been on a collision course before in the past, and now it’s with finn. Just want to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made. I know you said that you don’t want to.

Hope: I’m sorry if I offended you with that.

Brooke: No, no, I totally understand. I don’t want you to, either, sweetie. I just know you’re in a very vulnerable place right now. First thomas, now finn. I wanna make sure you can handle things.

Hope: Mom, finn is important to me as a friend. He listens. He’s sensitive to what I’m going through. He has been incredibly supportive of me during this difficult time, and I value that. And I’ve come to admire him as a man. In many ways. +

Finn: I don’t know about you, but… I think we needed that.

Steffy: [Chuckles] Yeah, we definitely did. Never got enough alone time. Especially with our… two rambunctious kids. It’s not just the kids, though. I mean… it’s my crazy schedule at the hospital. And, like, I know it’s probably not easy being the wife of a doctor. Not that you’d ever complain. Hey, promise me something. Never doubt or question the love I have for you.

Steffy: I don’T. And after today, the way you stood up for me, our family– that means the world to me.

Finn: I love you.

Finn: Well, I know you’re pulling for me.

Hope: Yeah, I just want what’s best for you.

Finn: Well, I appreciate it.

Hope: I’m just glad that you’re comfortable sharing all this with me. Thank you. And… I don’t know, just continue to prove that you’re such an incredible man. So, thanks.

Brooke: But things can happen, honey. Things that you never intended to. A perfectly innocent moment could… suddenly ignite. Just be careful. Very careful where finn’s concerned.

Hope: [Sighs]

Steffy: Tom and hollis died from overdosing on the same drug at the same location.

Li: Yes. And comparing to tom’s report, the exact same level of toxicity. Steffy: Oh, my god.

Li: That’s not a coincidence. Steffy: No. Sheila murdered them. I mean, she was a nurse, a medical professional. She knows all about dosing. Finn, she needs to be stopped before she hurts someone else.

Li: Stephy’s right, finn. This only further implicates sheila.

Sheila: Look at me. Deacon. I know that you hurt over what happened to tom and–and hollis, but–

Deacon: I’m not hurt. I’m freaking out. They are my friends–

Sheila: Look, it was a tragedy. It was a tragedy what happened to the two of them. But I don’t want you to let your mind run wild with thoughts of murder.

Baker: Did somebody say murder?

Deacon: Chief baker.

Baker: In the flesh. I have questions about the two recent deaths in your establishment.

Hope: So no word from steffy?

Ridge: Nope.

Brooke: She has to be at the hospital by now. I’m hoping she’ll have some answers soon.

Hope: Gosh, it just feels like yesterday I was at dad and sheila’s wedding. Tom was officiating. Hollis was making sure everything was perfect about the day, and… I don’t know. I just don’t understand how they’re gone.

Ridge: What don’t you understand? It’s sheila. I don’t know how or why, but she killed those men.

Ridge: I don’t know why sheila does what she does. She’s a psychopath. There’s never a reason for what she’S… what she’s doing. Two people are dead at el giardino’s because of her.

Carter: Sounds like you’ve heard the latest.

Brooke: Hollis. It’s a tragedy.

Carter: Yeah. My contact at the police department reached out. I have information about what killed them. It was an overdose.

Baker: Shouldn’t leave your door open like that. Been a lot of death around here recently.

Deacon: We’re feeling the loss.

Baker: That’s why I’m here. Two of your employees have died in your restaurant, deacon. We need to investigate that.

Deacon: I understand. And they weren’t just employees. They were my friends.

Baker: I need to find out exactly what happened with both men.

Li: We all know this is sheila’s doing. I was just on my way to confront her at il giardino.

Steffy: I was planning to do the same.

Finn: If sheila killed these men and is back to her old ways, is having an altercation with her wise?

Steffy: Since when has standing by waiting for her to attack helped us?

Li: It hasn’T. It left you both shot, nearly dying in an alley.

Steffy: Never again. I’m confronting sheila, and you both are coming with me. She is too arrogant and hot-headed right now. She’s not gonna be able to hide this. We can… we can put enough pressure on her, and she’ll slip. She always does. I’m not gonna rest until that woman is rotting in prison for the rest of her godforsaken life. Dangerous ladders. Gutter muck.

Ridge: So let me get this straight. Two people died, not only in the same place, but overdosing on the same drug?

Carter: According to the toxicology report, yes.

Hope: But we’ve established that hollis cared about his health. He cared about his fitness. And now you’re telling us that he died of a drug overdose at work?

Brooke: You think they were doing drugs together?

Carter: I can’t tell you that. I only know what the report says. How’s deacon?

Hope: He’s not doing well. Tom and hollis were his friends. When he first took over il giardino, hollis was the one who helped him put his vision together. And tom, well, he obviously was an important part of my dad’s life.

Ridge: Because he saved sheila’s life. That’s kind of ironic.

Brooke: That could be a tragic coincidence.

Ridge: It’s never a coincidence when she’s involved. You know that.

Carter: When I heard the news, my mind went there too.

Ridge: Yeah, exactly. So there it is, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And there it is. Sheila’s other shoe dropped. Two people dead on the victim list.

Hope: Oh, but… why them, though? It doesn’t-

Ridge: Why not them? What…? This is sheila. She tried to kill my daughter to get closer to finn and hayes. That’s what she does. She’s psychotic. Sheila carter.

Baker: All right, deacon. Walk me through the moments before mr. Starr died.

Deacon: Okay. Um, you know, he was up on stage. He was performing. He–it was amazing. You know, tom actually was a pretty big musician back in the day. Even had a song on the radio once and… it just… it felt good to give him a platform to, you know, be reliving that part of his life again. And he was… he was playing so well.

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: You know, it was a great night, and then… then he collapsed. We just called 911.

Sheila: I–I used to be a nurse, so I–I did what I could, but he–he just went so fast.

Deacon: We learned later that it was an overdose, and… it’s heartbreaking. You know, tom dealt with addiction, but he cleaned himself up. I mean, he had an opportunity for a second chance.

Baker: Sorry for your loss. Losses. Sadly, it happens so often. But now that another employee has died downstairs, a case has been opened.

Sheila: A case?

Baker: Yes, to make sure there was no foul play.

Deacon: What are you doing here?

Steffy: I knew it. Glad to see that the police are involved.

Sheila: We’re cooperating, steffy, there’s no need for all of this.

Baker: If there’s something you’d like to add, we could talk at a different time.

Steffy: No, you’re gonna want to hear this right now. Finn, tell him.

Finn: As I’m sure you’re aware, hollis’ autopsy was done at my hospital. He died of an overdose.

Deacon: No, no, no. There’s no way. No. Hollis… hollis didn’t use.

Li: There were drugs found in his system when he died.

Baker: I read the report. This isn’t news to me.

Steffy: Tom and hollis overdosed on the same drug.

Li: Same toxicity levels.

Steffy: Two men died, and we know why.

Sheila: [Scoffs] Wait a minute. Why are you looking at me?

Steffy: Because it’s you, sheila. You killed them.

Ridge: Now, what I’m saying is, I don’t know if it’s here or not. I can look for it, but not right this minute.

[Exhales] Yes, I hea

Ridge: Now, what I’m saying is, I don’t know if it’s here or not. I can look for it, but no

Hollis: Here is to the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Brooke: Yes. I’ll drink to that.

Hollis: Cheers.

[Glasses clink] Like you said, things change. Hey… don’t underestimate me, boss.

Ridge: I–I appreciate all your help. I do, and I will get it figured out, but not… but not right this moment. Ok… I’m–I’m gonna have to call you back. I-I will. Sorry about that. Sometimes… okay, I get it. Hollis taking drugs is not adding up for you. Tom, different story, right? He had his problems with alcohol, with drugs. But hollis…

Brooke: No, nothing about hollis would lead anybody to believe that he had a substance abuse. And deacon’s street smart. He would have picked up if hollis was using.

Ridge: Probably. So what is it? Let’s make sense of it, right? He didn’t use drugs, but he died of an overdose. How does that make sense to anybody?

Carter: If what you’re saying about hollis is true, then it reinforces our theory that sheila had a hand in this.

Ridge: Carter… it’s a nice theory. It really is. And I love you, and I respect you, but… let’s call it what it is. Can we do that?

Brooke: Why is sheila not behind bars?

Ridge: Or six feet under.

Brooke: After all the horrible things she’s done through her life, now she’s running around, and she possibly killed two innocent men?

Sheila: That’s a dangerous accusation.

Steffy: Well, you’re a dangerous animal.

Deacon: All right, steffy, that’s enough. Please, just–just leave. All right? We’re–we’re dealing with enough here.

Steffy: How many people have to suffer before you take this monster and lock her up? Think about everything she’s done to us. She shot me. She shot finn. She drove li off the road, left her for dead.

Li: And now tom and hollis are her latest victims.

Sheila: I didn’t do this.

Deacon: All right, listen, if what you’re saying about tom and hollis is true, that they died of a drug overdose, then it’s ludicrous to blame sheila. You’re not actually buying this, are you?

Baker: I wouldn’t be a very good cop if I didn’t follow up every lead.

Sheila: But I didn’t do this.

Li: Lies. This is what you do. You hurt people and then do everything you can to cover it up.

Sheila: That’s not true.

Steffy: Nine toes says otherwise.

Sheila: I’m not that person anymore. I’ve changed. I am in therapy. I am married to the love of my life. I am leading a simple, peaceful life.

Deacon: Look, these are false, erroneous claims, and I’m not gonna tolerate it.

Li: This woman–

Deacon: Okay, stop right there, all right? In my house, you’re gonna treat my wife with respect. Look, you guys are way off base thinking that sheila did this. Il giardino’s, it’s our home. Tom and hollis are like family to us.

Sheila: But tom… if it weren’t for him, finn and deacon never would have found me chained up in that… in that warehouse. And hollis, he treated me with respect. He never looked at me like I was some sort of a monster. I cared deeply for both of them. Now, I may have done some horrible things, but I did not do this. I am not responsible for tom and hollis’ death.

Li: Then tell us what happened to them, sheila. Hmm? Tell us.

Sheila: [Sighs] Oh, my god. That’s it.

Baker: What?

Sheila: Hollis found tom’s backpack, and he said that there was something in that backpack that–that could have gotten tom killed, and now hollis is dead, too.

Finn: What are you saying?

Sheila: I’m saying the clue is in that backpack, finn. We’ve–we’ve got to find it. (Vo) when it comes to nature valley,

Steffy: The lies that come out of your mouth. Now there’s this mysterious backpack you just conveniently remembered.

Sheila: I am not lying.

Baker: Stephy, let me handle this. Tell me some more about this backpack.

Sheila: [Sighs] What? What is that?

Hollis: It’s tom’s backpack.

Sheila: Why on earth would you have tom’s backpack?

Hollis: I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how and why tom died. I think I discovered something.

Sheila: Are–are you rifling through his stuff to find his drug stash?

Hollis: I… no. No, not at all.

Sheila: That’s how he died, hollis. There’s nothing for you to wrap your head around. That’s the last time I saw hollis. I feel horrible for being so short with him, but I was… I was still upset about tom’s death.

Deacon: It’s okay. Hollis knew how you felt about him.

Baker: Did you know about any of this?

Deacon: No.

Baker: What was in the backpack?

Sheila: I don’t know.

Baker: You didn’t look inside?

Sheila: No. I told him to get rid of it.

Baker: Why would you do that?

Sheila: Well, tom had no family to leave it to, and I was worried there might still be drugs in it. I didn’t want that attached to the restaurant.

Baker: Call the police, not throw it away.

Li: Unless you wanted to get rid of some damning evidence.

Sheila: You don’t know what you’re talking about. I want to know who killed hollis and tom just as much as all of you.

Steffy: Yeah, I highly doubt that.

Sheila: G-give me a minute to think. I just… the backpack. That backpack still has to be here downstairs. That’S… that’s where our answers are.

Brooke: Still nothing?

Ridge: Uh, stephi’s not answering her texts now.

Carter: Is she okay?

Ridge: I’m sure she’s fine. She’s at the hospital trying to get to the bottom of things.

Baker: Wasn’t in the stockroom.

Li: Or the dumpster.

Sheila: Hollis used to stash things behind the bar all the time. Maybe it’s here.

[Sighs] It’s–it’s not here.

Steffy: Shocker.

Li: Chief baker, please. Please, tell me you see what sheila’s doing.

Steffy: This is just a smoke screen.

Sheila: I’m telling the truth.

Deacon: Why would she lie about this?

Li: To cover up what she did.

Deacon: You know what? You have no motives. You have no proof. All you have are ridiculous accusations.

Baker: Hey, hey, hey, hey. I’m the only one running this investigation. You understand? Was sheila with you that entire night?

Deacon: No, she… she came up to the apartment a little bit later.

Baker: Is that true?

Sheila: Of course it’s true. But I also wasn’t downstairs killing hollis.

Steffy: Chief baker, take sheila in for questioning. I am not safe. Our family is not safe.

Li: Wouldn’t be the first time two people were harmed here. There could be more if this doesn’t end now.

Sheila: I had nothing to do with tom and hollis’ death. Chief baker, you can’t take me in. You can’T. Finn. Finn, say something. I mean, you believe me, don’t you? Please, just say something.

Finn: I believe in second chances. I don’t know what happened to tom and hollis here, but what I do know is wherever sheila goes, destruction follows. I have a family to protect. My wife’s right. And out of an abundance of caution, and given sheila’s past crimes, we would feel safer, and it would be prudent to take sheila into custody for questioning.

Baker: Looks like we agree.

Sheila: No.

Deacon: Come on, you don’t mean this.

Finn: Chief baker, take her away.

Finn: Mom, the toxicology report says Hollis died of a drug overdose.

Li: Yes, just like the other man he worked with.

Finn: Tom.

Li: Yes. The same drug was found in both their systerms.

Poppy: Oh, that’s so tragic.

Li: Yes, but it’s not an accident. They were killed, Finn, and I know exactly who did it.

Poppy: Who?

Li: You know exactly who I’m talking about, Penelope.


Brooke: “Second death at Beverly Hills restaurant.”

Hope: Do the police think they’re connected?

Brooke: Well, they’re investigating now…interviewing other employees.

Ridge:  It’s definitely going to take a cut out of the pizza business.

Steffy: Well, there’s one employee they should be questioning first.


Deacon: Of course I’ll cooperate with the police.  I’ll help in any way I can. Yeah, you can quote me on that.  Listen, listen. You know, we pride ourselves at being a high class establishment here at Il Giardino.  Well, you know what? Our customers do feel safe. It’s my responsibility to make them feel safe, and the staff. Look, I’m not gonna let this go.  I’m gonna find out what happened because Tom and Hollis weren’t just employees. I lost two of my friends.


Ridge: Sorry, I’m not trying to make light of two people dying, but the restaurant is going to take a hit.  The press loves a scandal.

Steffy: Bad press will be the least of his worries if the cops actually look into this.

Hope: Wait, you’re not saying that you think my dad had something to do with this.

Ridge: Two people died at his restaurant, and he’s got a bit of a shady past, so, yeah.

Steffy: Deacon is no saint, but it isn’t difficult to connect the dots and realize who’s behind this.


Deacon:  No, no, that’s not what I said. Look, uh, Tom and Hollis were good men. They were good friends. Why don’t you try printing that?

Sheila: Reporter?

Deacon: No…vulture!  Guy just wanted click bait. You know, he’s making it seem like Il Giardino’s cursed or something.

Sheila: Well, isn’t that the way you’re feeling?

Deacon: Maybe, but I sure as hell don’t want it over the news!

Sheila: You think it’s going to be bad for the restaurant.

Deacon: Ah, it ain’t gonna be good for it.  I’m not upset. I’m just sick to my stomach. I lost my friends; I don’t know why. I wanna know why. I wanna know what the hell happened.


Li: It’s obvious who killed these two men.

Poppy: Uh, not to me.

Li: You wanna deny it?

Finn: Mom, what are you saying?

Li: What should be perfectly clear to everyone.  Two employees of Il Giardino are dead. Overdosed on the same drug and killed at the same place.

Finn: You keep saying, “killed,” but the report just —

Lie: The report only gives us part of the story, Finn. We know the rest.  These two men came in contact with an unstable woman who has a history of violent, criminal behavior: Sheila Carter.  Sheila Carter killed those men.


Hope: My dad wants to know how this happened more than anyone.

Steffy: Even if his wife’s behind it?

Hope: Well, I mean, if… tom and hollis died because of, I don’t know, a shooting or stabbing, I could see that. But let’s not forget, tom did die of an overdose.

Steffy: Sheila hurts people any way she can.

Brooke: It’s true, honey. She’s capable of anything.

Hope: And I am not denying that or defending her.

Steffy: This is not a coincidence, hope.

Hope: Yeah, but they can happen.

Ridge: Not like this, they can’t, what are you talking about? Two people died unexpectedly in the same place. You throw sheila into the mix, you gotta wonder about it, right?

Hope: Okay, fine, yes. Yes, I agree.

Steffy: So what are you gonna tell us? Keep an open mind about sheila? Give her a chance?

Hope: No.

Steffy: Because your gut is telling you the same thing mine is.

Hope: [Sighing] Yes. Tom and hollis could have died because of sheila.


Sheila: Don’t let that reporter get to you.

Deacon: That’s not him. It’s this whole damn situation.

Sheila: But you had nothing to do with it.

Deacon: Sheila, I have everything to do with it. It’s my restaurant. They were my friends.

Sheila: And they know that you cared about them, deacon.

Deacon: I was upstairs when hollis died, steps away, and he was down here alone.

Sheila: But you didn’t know.

Deacon: I still don’t know. What happened? What the hell happened to hollis?

[Distant car horn honking]

Sheila: Did the reporter ask you about that?

Deacon: Oh, yeah, no, I mean, he wants to make this seem like it’s the scandal of the century.

Sheila: But that’s his job. You’ve got to sensationalize, or people aren’t going to pay attention.

Deacon: Tom and hollis deserved attention before they died.

Sheila: And you gave them that… baby, you gave them attention, care, respect.

Deacon: Yeah, well, apparently not where it really mattered, right? Tom said he was sober, and then he od’s? It doesn’t make sense.

Sheila: No, but people make their own choices. Sometimes just one bad decision has– has a tragic outcome.

Deacon: What are you saying? You think hollis made a bad decision? I mean, do you think he was sick or… just think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time? We have no idea why hollis died.


Finn: [Sighing] You think sheila did this?

Li: Don’t you dare defend that sociopath. I don’t care if she gave birth–

Finn: No, I’m not defending her. I admit, I couldn’t help but think the same thing. Two co-workers, in the same workplace, the same substance.

Li: I’m so relieved to hear you say that.

Poppy: I don’t know sheila very well, but she does have kind of a frightening history. I agree with my sister. If foul play was involved, then sheila has to be the prime suspect.

Finn: Yes, but at this point, we can’t say what happened to hollis and tom weren’t accidental overdoses. I mean, there’s an epidemic of drug-related deaths in this country. I mean, we see it all the time in the er. The amount of deaths that is out there, that drug kills.

Li: Yes, it sure does. But so does sheila. Do I need to remind you of how she terrorized us? Shot you, held you hostage… rammed me off the road and… left me to die.

[Engine roaring]

Li: Damn it, sheila! Aah! God!

[Engine revving]

[Car horns honking]

Li: Back off, you crazy bitch!

[Crash]

[Booming]

[Tires squealing]

Li: Aah!

Li: I am absolutely certain sheila carter murdered those two men. A mystery!

Ridge: Everyone warned deacon to cut ties with sheila. Everyone.

Steffy: She doesn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy or understanding. Getting close to sheila, you’re inviting chaos into your life.

Brooke: If deacon didn’t see it before, he has to realize it now.

Hope: Yes, but I’m still just stuck on the motive. If she is responsible for tom and hollis’s deaths, why?

Steffy: Well, finn is at the hospital with li right now, and li is overseeing hollis’s autopsy.

Brooke: Good, she’ll make sure the truth comes out.

Steffy: Sheila killed those men. There is no doubt in my mind. I don’t know how, I don’t know why. But when I figure this out, they’re gonna get justice. Her days of hurting people and endangering my family are over. This time, sheila carter’s gonna pay.


Sheila: You… you’re asking me things I can’t answer.

Deacon: I know. I’m sorry. I know you’re struggling, too.

Sheila: Oh, you can see that?

Deacon: Of course I can. I mean, you found hollis. I can still hear you screaming in my head. You know, this place was supposed to be our oasis. Feels like a plague has fallen on il giardino.

Sheila: Look, it’s sad what happened to tom and hollis, but their two deaths could be completely unrelated.

Deacon: They both happened here.

Sheila: That’s because this is where they spent their time. It is possible that… these were just two tragic accidents.

Deacon: We’ll know soon enough.

Sheila: What? What do you mean, deacon?

Deacon: Look, I don’t know if it’s because I was talking to that idiot reporter or the general ominous feeling around here now, but my mind is starting to go to some very dark places. I’m starting to think that maybe tom and hollis’s death… was anything but an accident.


Li: I am certain sheila carter targeted those two innocent men. Penelope seems pretty sure of that herself. What about you, finn?

Finn: I’m not conducting the investigation, mom.

Li: But you do care about the case?

Finn: Yeah, for a lot of reasons, and I meant it. It would be irresponsible and short-sighted to ignore sheila’s history.

Li: You don’t have to be diplomatic with me. Not about her.

Finn: Okay, is it possible that she was involved? Yeah, that is a valid question.

Li: They both died from the same drug.

Finn: Which is worth looking into.

Li: That’s exactly what I’m going to do right now.

Finn: What?

Li: I’m going over there.

Finn: What, to the– to the restaurant?

Li: Yes, I’m going to go to il giardino and confront that mad woman.

Finn: Okay, mom, you can’T… you can’t just go, there is no conclusive evidence that directly ties sheila to this.

Li: What? Except for that we know her. We know what she’s capable of.

Finn: [Sighing] Okay, then I’ll go with you.

Li: No. Absolutely not. How many times do I have to tell you, you cannot go anywhere near sheila. [Scoffs ]I won’t let you undermine your marriage, okay? Endanger your family. You promised steffy that you would stay far away from that woman. I can do this alone.

[Knocking on door]

[Distant hospital pa chatter]

Steffy: They said I could find you here.

Finn: Hey, what’re… what’re you… hey…

Steffy: Is it– is it done? Is the autopsy finished?

Li: Yes.

Steffy: So, what– what happened? How did hollis die?

Li: Just like tom starr. Hollis was murdered by sheila.


Deacon: Hope, you know how much I love you. You and the kids. You– you mean the world to me. But so does sheila. I asked sheila to marry me.

Ridge: Everyone warned deacon to cut ties with sheila.

Steffy: Getting close to sheila, you’re inviting chaos into your life.

Hope: If she is responsible for tom and hollis’s deaths, why?

Steffy: There is no doubt in my mind– sheila killed those men.

[Echoing] …Killed those men.

Brooke: How are you doing, sweetheart?

Hope: I, uh… I’m just worried about dad. The restaurant. It’s heartbreaking, what happened to hollis. He was so young.

Brooke: It is. It’s hard to believe.

Hope: And to die like that? All alone. The fact that they didn’t find the body until the next day, it’s horrible. Like, I just want to understand why this happened.

Ridge: That’s funny, you wanna know why this happened? You know why this happened. We all know why it happened. Your father led sheila into his life. That’s what happened. That’s it.

Hope: Steffy believes that once we have the autopsy results, we will get the whole picture. But what if we don’t? I mean, what if it just raises more questions than we already have? I– you know my dad. He’s going to want solid, concrete proof before he’s even capable of believing that sheila had anything to do with it.

Ridge: Well, you know what I think? I think he’s not going to believe whatever’s in the autopsy report anyway.

Hope: Well, great. What’s that gonna do for our relationship?

[Sighing] What am I saying? No, that’s not the point. That is not important right now. Hollis is dead. His family is never going to get to see him again.

Ridge: And that’s awful. But all we can do right now is make sure it doesn’t happen again. Steffy’s right. This is sheila. This is all about sheila.

Sheila: What are you saying?

Deacon: I’m saying that this doesn’t add up. It just feels wrong.

Sheila: You just lost two of your friends. No, no, no.

Deacon: No-no-no, it’s not that, it’s like there’S… I don’t know, it’s like there’s something or somebody behind this. Okay, tom died of an overdose. And, yes, he had a history, but come on. He was clean. He was turning his life around.

Sheila: [Scoffs] That’s because you were helping him. You wanted to see him succeed.

Deacon: Yes, and if tom had died and that was it, I would be sad enough. But then you come downstairs and you find hollis dead.

Sheila: I get it. You can’t believe that these were just tragic accidents. I mean, your friends are gone, and you don’t want their deaths to be meaningless or random. First tom and then hollis. It is upsetting and tragic. But it’s not murder.

Steffy: Murder?

Li: [Sighing] This is sheila we’re talking about.

Steffy: You’re saying that the autopsy pointed to sheila?

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s my mother’s interpretation.

Li: Which you agree is possible.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Wait, how– how did hollis die?

Finn: Well, he and tom died the same way.

Steffy: Drug overdose?

Li: That’s not all.

Finn: The details of the report show that hollis’s death is suspicious. And I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but I can’t deny that the report is concerning. But similarities between these cases wouldn’t be unexpected. I mean, tom and hollis, they were acquainted. They worked in the same place, and they probably socialized with the same people, but…

Steffy: But what?

Finn: Not only did hollis overdose, he died of the same drug that killed tom.

Steffy: The same drug?

Li: Yes.

Steffy: Sheila. Tom and hollis, they didn’t die by accident. There are no accidents when sheila is around. You’re telling me these two guys dropped dead at a place where Sheila works and lives? I mean, come on. You told me that Deacon and Hollis, when they heard that Tom died, and that he was using drugs, that they were shocked. And Hollis, he was even offended … now he dies the exact same way?

Frinn: No, it’s strange.

Li: Sinister.

Steffy: Oh, it’s awful.  Sheila did this. Sheila killed Tom and Hollis. Oh, my God.  I don’t know how, or why, but one thing is certain. This time, Sheila will pay for her crimes.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Now the kids are gone for the day. Why don’t we take this back to the bedroom?

Steffy: You read my mind.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

[Laughter]

[Phone chiming]

Steffy: No.

Finn: [Laughing] I’m on call.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Finn: It could be the hospital. Could be the hospital. Hold on a second.

Steffy: Fine.

Finn: Okay. It’s just my mom. She said hollis from il giardino died.

Steffy: What?

Brooke: What?

Ridge: Nothing, I just like you in the office more. Gives us a chance to collaborate.

Brooke: Yeah, I like all this attention.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I think we should collaborate more on this special project.

Ridge: [Laughing]

Hope: Can I interrupt?

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: What is it, sweetie?

Hope: It’s hollis.

Ridge: Hollis, from your dad’s restaurant?

Brooke: What about him?

Hope: He passed away.

Sheila: Hey.

Deacon: I… just can’T… I can’t believe he’s gone.

Sheila: I know. I’m never gonna get that image out of my mind, I… just seeing hollis laying there on the floor.

Deacon: You’re in shock. I guess I was, too. I’M… babe, I’m sorry you had to find him like that.

Sheila: It was horrible.

Deacon: Yeah. So sudden. Just like tom. Now they’re both gone.

Bill: Mmm.

Poppy: [Chuckling]

Bill: This is nice.

Poppy: Hmm.

Bill: We didn’t get much time together over the weekend.

Poppy: Well, there’s just, you know, a lot happening, and luna and I are still getting settled in.

Bill: You’re happy, though, right?

Poppy: Yes, bill. Of course I’m happy. This is the happiest I’ve ever been.

Bill: Good, because you seem a bit, um, I don’t know, preoccupied lately. And you got in late the other night, which is totally fine, of course, but you would tell me if there was something going on, wouldn’t you?

Brooke: Hollis is dead?

Hope: Yes.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Ridge: Are you sure about this?

Hope: Yeah, I just found out.

Brooke: Oh, that’s horrible.

Hope: I feel awful for him and his family.

Ridge: What happened? Are there any details?

Deacon: You know, hollis helped me build this business. Trusted that guy with my life. And I just, um… I don’t know, I– I just can’t imagine running this place without him.

Sheila: You were good to him, deacon. And you were a kind friend, a wonderful boss.

Deacon: He was the best. I mean, that guy was just… the hardest-working, most loyal employee. Then he’S… he’s suddenly gone. What the hell happened?

Finn: I’m gonna find out what’s going on.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Hey, mom. Hey, I got you here with– with steffy on speaker. What-what happened with hollis? What’s-what’s going on?

Li: We still don’t know what caused it, but we’re running labs, including a toxicology test.

Finn: You’re… you’re at the hospital now?

Li: In the morgue.

Finn: Okay, I’ll be right over.

Bill: You seem like you’re carrying a weight on your shoulders, like you’re stressed out, troubled by something.

Poppy: Um, oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was coming across that way.

Bill: I hope you’re not having doubts about us. Because we’re together now, a family. And I will always take care of you and luna.

Luna: Mom?

Poppy: Honey, what is it?

Luna: My friend hollis. He’s gone. I’m never gonna see him again. It’s very unusual.

Finn: Well, I wonder

Finn: And here we thought we were gonna have a quiet morning.

Steffy: This is so heartbreaking about hollis. This isn’t gonna sink in.

Finn: Well, I wonder what the autopsy will show.

Steffy: Oh, gosh. I don’t want my brain to just go wild right now, especially if there was some kind of foul play. I mean, it happened at il giardino, finn.

Finn: Well, look, we’re gonna find out some more soon.

Steffy: It’s just so rare for a guy who was so young to just die unexpectedly.

Finn: Yeah, it’s, um… it’s very unusual.

Steffy: Well, if you learn anything, just get back to me, okay?

Finn: Yeah, I’ll keep you posted. I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Hope: I’m still waiting on more details.

Ridge: More details? We have no details. Did your dad not say anything?

Hope: Well, no, he’s going through a lot right now, and I didn’t want to bombard him with a million questions.

Brooke: It’s just frightening to think how quickly things can change.

Ridge: There you go. Can’t take even a minute for granted.

Brooke: Glad I got to know him, even if it was that small little date.

Ridge: Yeah, just one dinner. But I’m sure you made an impression. How can you not?

Brooke: He was sweet. He was really a nice guy. He was very polite. He was very respectful. He didn’t deserve to die.

Finn: This just doesn’t make any sense. Hollis was fine, and then he just… just keels over.

Sheila: Hey, I know that this is hard to accept.

Finn: I mean, did I miss something? You know, were there… clues pointing to this? I mean, I know we’ve been slammed and everything, you know, with tom, but…

Sheila: Deacon, none of this is your fault.

Finn: None of it’s my fault– I’m the boss, sheila. I run this place. I should be more in touch with my crew. I mean… I should be the guy that they feel like they can come to with any issues. And hollis was… I mean, he was fun, right? But he wasn’t a partier. The guy ate clean. He worked out all the time. I wasn’t aware of any health issues he had. Did you… did you notice anything off about him?

Sheila: No. Just a mystery.

Finn: Two of my employees have died on me recently, and I have no idea what the hell happened.

Luna: I was just with hollis the other night. I mean, we were laughing and joking around.

Bill: Come here. Sorry about your friend.

Luna: It’s just… it’s just not fair. I mean, hollis had his whole life ahead of him, and there was still so much that he wanted to do.

Poppy: I know it’s hard, sweetheart, but your dad and i are here for you, okay?

Bill: Of course we are. Always.

Poppy: And hollis would not want you to be upset.

Bill: I hate to say it, but we might want to stay away from il giardino for a while. They’re having a hell of a run of bad luck.

Finn: Have you spoken with pathology?

Li: Yes. Just waiting for the toxicology report.

Finn: This is just– this is too surreal.

Li: Not fun when you know the deceased personally.

Finn: But he was an active guy with no known medical condition.

Li: Yeah, well, if we learn anything as physicians…

Finn: It’s to never make assumptions, I get that, mom. But you have to admit, I mean, this is an extraordinary case.

Li: Yeah, very shocking.

Finn: You were cheated, hollis, your life was cut way too short.

Li: Goodbye, hollis. I’m sorry for what happened to you. You can feel it,

Hope: Hollis was a big part of my father’s life, and not just in terms of managing the restaurant, but also because he was a positive influence on him. I think he grounded my dad.

Brooke: Deacon was lucky to have him.

Hope: He was always supportive, he was a good friend, and he was part of his accomplishments.

Ridge: I’m so sorry for interrupting you guys. Can we please talk about the giant elephant in the room? Two people died at your dad’s restaurant in just a few weeks.

Steffy: You talking about hollis? Something is up. It’s like first that guy dies, and now hollis at il giardino? There’s no way that this is a coincidence.

Deacon: This just doesn’t make any sense. First tom, then hollis. I wonder who’s next.

Poppy: Okay, well, your aunt li is overseeing the postmortem exam.

Luna: Stop, I don’t wanna hear that. I don’t wanna think about hollis that way.

Poppy: Oh, I’m sorry, baby, but your aunt texted me, and I thought that it would bring you comfort to know that she and finn are with him right now.

Luna: No, this is not normal. None of this is normal. For so many people to be dying in the same place.

Poppy: I know, it’s horrible.

Bill: Um… look… it’s important to let your feelings out, but it’s also important to try and keep some perspective. I mean, these losses are tragic, but maybe we could honor them by being grateful for what we have. Our health, our safety, and… and the love that we have for each other.

Poppy: And it’s important that we count our blessings. And our biggest blessing is you, bill. I adore you. I adore my life here with you and our beautiful daughter. Watching you embrace being luna’s father, accepting us into the spencer family, and welcoming us into this incredible home. It’s a dream come true.

Bill: For me, too.

Poppy: Um… I’m sorry, but, uh… I have to run. Um, there’s some place that I need to be.

Li: Except for minor contusions.

Finn: Well, that was likely caused by hollis collapsing to the ground.

Li: Nothing stands out. Body shows no abnormal signs of trauma.

[Phone chime]

Finn: Yeah, well, I suspect the tox screen will answer a lot of the questions.

Li: Hm, yeah, should be ready soon.

Finn: Until then, the manner of death remains undetermined.

[Phone chime] Hey, you, uh… that’s like the third time your phone went off. You wanna get that?

Li: Nope.

Finn: Are you sure? It sounds important.

Li: Yeah, it’s just your father. He keeps calling and texting me.

Finn: Wait, dad? Why? What does he want?

April: Doctor finnegan.

Both: Yeah.

April: Sorry, finn. Better luck next time. The lab results you requested.

Li: Thanks, april.

April: Sure thing.

Finn: Toxicology report.

Li: Mm-hm. What’s it say?

Scout is protected by

simparica trio

Steffy: Finn is with li at at the hospital. Li is overseeing hollis’s autopsy.

Hope: So, do you know what happened?

Steffy: I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Brooke: We have no idea.

Ridge: We’re in the dark.

Steffy: This is your father’s restaurant, I thought you’d know something.

Hope: All I know is that hollis has passed away. I don’t know of anyone else who’s gotten hurt.

Steffy: Gotten hurt? So someone did this to him?

Brooke: Not that we’re aware of.

Ridge: It’s very unsettling, all of it.

Hope: I know. Hollis was such a positive man. He was so full of life. Now…

Brooke: We don’t know how something like this could have happened.

Steffy: I have my suspicions.

Hope: What are you implying?

Steffy: Multiple deaths at il giardino. Only one person comes to mind. Sheila.

Sheila: I– I hate seeing you like this. I know it’s weighing heavy on you.

Deacon: You know, hollis was, um… was like a brother to me, brother I never had. And the guy made this place feel like a home. You know, he charmed all the customers, especially the ladies.

[Chuckling] Made strangers feel welcome so they’d want to come back.

Sheila: Well, clearly, the two of you were close, and he loved working here with you.

Deacon: I just– I can’t help but think that… that I’m partially responsible.

Sheila: You? Why?

Deacon: I mean, there should have been signs, right? Was he sick? Was he in trouble? I don’t know.

Sheila: Honey, there is no way to tell what is happening to someone behind closed doors.

Deacon: I know, but if you– if you looked at hollis, I mean, you know, he didn’t seem like he had a care in the world, you know, buzzing around here the way that he did. Tom… he’s such a sweet guy. He helped me save your life. He said he was sober. He– he said he was turning his life around. I mean, how could I be so clueless?

Sheila: Deacon… there’s nothing that you could have done to change any of this. Whatever was going to happen to hollis, it was going to happen anyway.

Deacon: I haven’t had too many friends in my life. Tom and hollis were my friends. I miss them.

Sheila: I know you do. I’m really sorry for your loss.

Bill: How are you feeling?

Luna: I’m really, really sad.

Bill: I know. It’s gonna take some time to heal. We’ll get through it together.

Bill: Any idea where your mom ran off to?

Finn: What does it say?

[Knocking on door]

Poppy: Li? Finn?

Li: Penelope, what are you doing here? I said I’d text–

Poppy: Yeah, I know, I know. But, um… luna is beside herself over the loss of her friend.

Finn: Yeah, we’re all in a state of disbelief.

Poppy: Okay, I am sure, but as a mother, I’m feeling kind of powerless here, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt if I just stopped by and maybe try to get her some answers. Um… do we know how hollis died?

Li: Hollis didn’t die of natural causes.

Poppy: Oh, he didn’t?

Li: No. Finn and I just received the toxicology report. Hollis was drugged. Drugged, poppy. And I know exactly who did it.
