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.
