At Forrester Creations, the glossy surface of elegance and ambition begins to crack. Behind the shimmering runways and flawless campaigns lies a storm about to explode. Hope Logan is consumed with relaunching Hope for the Future, but her focus falters the moment Dickie Sharp barges into her office. Once a familiar face, now desperate for work, Dickie arrives with nervous eyes and secrets pressing against his lips. Hope offers him a position without hesitation, but she can’t ignore his fidgeting hands, his darting gaze, and the suffocating weight he carries. What she doesn’t know yet is that Dickie harbors a truth so explosive it could unravel not only her project, but the lives of everyone tied to the Forrester and Spencer dynasties: Luna Nazawa is alive.

Her supposed death had been mourned, whispered about, buried in silence. But the truth was darker. Luna’s survival had been carefully hidden by powerful players who decided the world could not know. Dickie, sworn to secrecy, finds himself breaking under the pressure, especially when he looks into the faces of those who loved Luna and still grieve her loss.

For John “Finn” Finnegan, Luna’s disappearance left an unhealed wound. When the truth finally surfaces, when he learns that Luna has been hiding at the Spencer estate, it rocks him to his core. Fueled by rage and betrayal, Finn storms into the mansion demanding answers. What he finds is not clarity but manipulation. Luna, trembling yet calculating, spins a tale of threats, danger, and survival. She claims she was drugged, coerced, even forced into intimacy with Will Spencer. Her words cut deep, but Finn sees the cracks in her story. There’s something she isn’t saying. Then the twist lands: Luna is pregnant, and the baby may be Will’s.

Elsewhere, Ridge Forrester refuses to be fooled. He confronts Lee Finnegan with ferocity, accusing her of negligence, of protecting Luna, of letting deceit spiral into catastrophe. Lee, crumbling under the accusations, collapses in a storm of guilt. Through broken tears, she admits she knew Luna was unstable, manipulative, and capable of destruction. She had hoped she was wrong, but reality has crushed that hope. Now, chaos spreads like wildfire.

Ridge and Taylor—rarely united—agree on one thing: Steffy Forrester must stay far away from this scandal. Luna has to face the truth on her own, even if that truth leads her straight into prison.

But not everyone can detach. At the heart of this unraveling mess lies Electra Forrester, hopelessly in love with Will Spencer. Her devotion is clear, but love may not be enough. Ivy Forrester corners her, blunt and cold: If Luna’s baby is Will’s, can you really build a life raising another woman’s child while sharing the man you love with his manipulator? Electra says nothing, but silence screams louder than words.

Meanwhile, Katie Logan sees the disaster tightening like a noose around the family. Determined to cut through the lies, she turns to Bridget Forrester, a trusted doctor and confidante, and asks her to conduct a secret DNA test on Luna’s unborn child. Luna reluctantly agrees, panic in her eyes. The results will either cement her story or destroy it.

As the days drag, tension spreads. Will clings to Electra, swearing his future lies with her. But Electra, torn by doubt, gives him no easy answers. Don’t promise me forever until we know the truth, she whispers. At Spencer Publications, Will prepares for the worst, drafting legal plans to support the baby if it is his, while vowing not to let Luna manipulate her way back into his life.

The DNA results arrive. Bridget checks and rechecks before releasing them. The truth is undeniable: Will Spencer is the father. The revelation detonates like a bomb. Electra locks herself away, shattered. Ivy tries to console her, but Electra wants no comfort, only silence. Will insists nothing changes, that his heart is still hers. But Electra cuts him down: It changes everything. How can I believe you’ll choose me, when Luna already tied you to her forever?
