At the heart of Thursday’s episode is the rekindling of one of daytime TV’s most iconic love stories: Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan. After a poignant and emotionally charged conversation with Taylor Hayes, Ridge receives her blessing to pursue his heart’s true desire—Brooke. With that emotional burden lifted, Ridge wastes no time. He rushes back to Forrester Creations, where, amid the soft glow of studio lights and the buzz of sewing machines in the background, he drops to one knee and proposes to the love of his life.

Brooke, ever the radiant Logan, is overcome with emotion. Tears stream down her cheeks as she accepts, her voice trembling with joy. Ridge unveils a custom-designed diamond ring—crafted with engraved nods to their shared history—glimmering like the passion they’ve fought to preserve for decades. It’s more than a proposal; it’s a declaration of eternal partnership and proof that some love stories really are timeless.

But even amid this fairy-tale moment, real-world tensions bubble beneath the surface. Brooke, ever intuitive, gently presses Ridge about his breakup with Taylor. Ridge admits the farewell was painful, full of regret and unspoken truths, but ultimately necessary. “My soul has always been pulled back to you,” he confesses, likening their love to a classic Forrester gown: enduring, elegant, and impossible to replicate.

The romantic high point is matched by visual splendor—a champagne toast, quiet promises exchanged in whispers, and the anticipation of a grand wedding that may revisit past themes while embracing a bold, unified future. But the joyous news is sure to send shockwaves through the families, especially Taylor’s camp.

Luna’s Resurrection: A Bombshell Return That Shakes the Spencer Family
In a twist that left jaws on the floor, Will Spencer comes face-to-face with someone he thought he’d never see again: Luna Nozawa. Alive, unapologetic, and more cunning than ever, Luna’s return stuns Will into silence—only to have that silence shattered by fury as the depth of her deception sinks in.

Luna reveals that her disappearance was no accident. Her grandmother, Lee Finnegan, orchestrated a medical hoax that faked Luna’s death, spiriting her away to a secret location on the outskirts of Los Angeles. There, she recovered, plotted, and ultimately returned under a new guise: Electra Forrester. Using this fabricated identity, complete with elaborate backstories and European mystique, Luna infiltrated elite society, including a glamorous afterparty where she seduced a disoriented Will.

The seduction wasn’t just manipulative—it was orchestrated. Luna confesses to drugging Will with a mild sedative, sourced from Lee’s medical stash, to ensure he wouldn’t resist or remember much. The betrayal leaves Will livid, pacing like a caged lion, demanding answers from the woman he once trusted.

Things escalate further when Lee enters the scene. A tense, three-way confrontation ensues. Will accuses Lee of manipulating lives with surgical precision, while Lee defends her actions as family preservation. Glass shatters. Voices rise. And the rift between the Spencers and the Finnegans deepens in a moment of soap history destined to become iconic.

A Dangerous Game: Luna’s Lies Begin to Unravel
As Luna struggles to maintain her fabricated persona, her intricate web of deceit begins to collapse. She gifts Will a limited-edition vintage Mustang under the guise of wealth from a successful IPO. But a Spencer forensic accountant traces the funding back to Lee’s offshore accounts. Bill Spencer—never one to tolerate betrayal—erupts.

Storming into Forrester Creations mid-fitting, he drags Will into the hallway, demanding answers. The car, the identity, the relationship—all now tainted by lies. The scandal deepens when Electra Forrester (the real one) calls Steffy, furious that her name was used as part of the con.

Ridge, desperate to contain the fallout, has Luna’s access badge revoked, while Lee is cornered by Sheila Carter, who threatens to leak confidential medical files unless she receives a cut of the trust Luna used to finance her return. The layers of betrayal multiply, and Luna finds herself blacklisted from Forrester events and under scrutiny from legal authorities.

Even then, she refuses to go quietly. In a cryptic voicemail to Will, she hints she holds proof of damaging secrets in the Spencer family—proof that could upend everything if released.
