Luna Makes a Shocking Discovery — and Finn Referees Between Hope and Steffy

On the Forrester jet, Brooke is so excited about Monaco. Ridge is too, he’s just upset that Steffy forgot her passport and missed the flight. Brooke assures him they’ll make the best of it and have a wonderful time together.

They discuss the meeting with the prince, which is why they couldn’t wait for Steffy. Brooke’s sure she’ll make good use of her time back in L.A. They canoodle as Brooke reminds Ridge this is their special little getaway even though they’ll work too. Ridge thinks she’ll take the world by storm. Brooke squeals, “I can’t wait. Monaco here we come!”

At Forrester, Finn and Steffy kiss. He’s sorry about what happened but he’s selfishly happy to have her there in his arms. Outside the door, Hope listens and then interrupts. She tells Finn that Steffy is threatening to cut funding for Hope For the Future again.

Hope complains that Steffy is targeting her personally. Steffy says it’s her job to keep the lights on, she shouldn’t need to baby her.

“The last consecutive quarter the numbers have been going down, we’ve had many losses.” Finn says it’s not his field of expertise and there’s no question Steffy will make the right decision for the company, but he does see how it would be upsetting for Hope.

At Bill’s place, Poppy agonizes over the scene with Will. Bill says his son will cool off eventually. Luna feels bad too and didn’t mean to cause any trouble.

Bill hugs her. He tells them they did nothing wrong and that Will shouldn’t have behaved that way. They know it’s a lot for him to deal with.

Bill argues they’re not strangers, they’re part of this family. Poppy and Luna decide they should go over to the apartment… they have some packing to do before the building gets demolished. Bill reluctantly agrees. Poppy reiterates that he’s completely transformed their lives.

At Il Giardino, Sheila tells Deacon she’s happy to be back there with her handsome husband. Now they can focus on what really happened. She’s starting to think he’s right and that the deaths weren’t an accident.

At Poppy’s apartment, she goes into the bedroom to grab some things. Luna starts searching for her laptop in the living room. Behind the sofa, she comes upon Tom’s black backpack.

At Forrester, Finn thinks both Hope and Steffy want what’s best for the company. Steffy says, “No, Hope wants what’s best for Hope.” Hope declares, “That’s ridiculous, Steffy.

You just have a problem supporting anything that’s Logan-related.” Finn asks if it’s possible that Hope For the Future needs some time to recover after Thomas’ departure.

Hope notes that Steffy pushed for that. Steffy isn’t saying they’re going to eliminate the line, but they have to pull it back. “Way back.”

In Monte Carlo, Brooke and Ridge zoom up to a casino in a sports car. He muses, “I’m all in betting on you, Logan.” She giggles, “Oh, Ridge.”

In the design office, Will tells his mom he misses home and his family. Katie teases that she wanted to bring him home sooner, but he wanted to study abroad.

Will says it was a great experience, but now he wants to stay there. Katie tells him she loves him more than anything in the whole world. Will’s not so sure about dad, now that he has Luna and Poppy in his life. Katie hugs him and tears spill down her face.

In Poppy’s apartment, Luna searches through the backpack and finds the packet of returned letters addressed to her mother. She opens one and begins reading.

Stunned, she realizes the man is claiming to be her father. She reads another one saying he wants to know his daughter. Luna keeps opening more letters and reading. “It’s very hard not to be around my daughter on the holidays.”

Poppy appears and asks what she’s doing. Luna cries, “These are letters from Tom Starr to you! There’s a backpack full of letters of him claiming to be my father!”

Poppy asks why she has Tom’s backpack. Luna found it there. She asks if her mother knew about this. Poppy says she read them years ago, but he was a drug addict and a stalker. She sent them back.

Luna gasps that Tom Starr is the man who died at Il Giardino of a drug overdose, “Or that’s what everyone thinks.” Poppy asks what she’s saying. Luna exclaims, “Was Katie right about you? Did you kill Tom Starr?!”

In the Forrester office, Steffy tells Finn she got a text from her dad. They reached Monte Carlo ahead of schedule. Finn knows she wishes she could be there. Hope is sure they’re getting swept up in the beauty of Monte Carlo.
