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.
