At the Forrester mansion, Steffy confidently informed Eric and Ridge that her meeting at Forrester went as planned and vowed to reclaim the company. When Ridge asked about her strategy, Steffy introduced Daphne Rose, a renowned Parisian “nose” and her friend. Daphne charmed Ridge, describing his scent as classic and sexy, while Steffy revealed Daphne was not only creating a fragrance for Forrester but also had a knack for romance. Ridge quickly caught on that Daphne was being enlisted to test Hope and Carter’s bond.
Meanwhile, Hope expressed doubts about Steffy’s intentions to Carter, suspecting ulterior motives. Carter reassured her that they were in control, and Steffy wouldn’t derail their plans. While Hope remained wary of Steffy’s manipulations, Carter emphasized their love as the foundation of their strength and unity.
Elsewhere, Will approached Bill about scrubbing Electra’s deepfakes from the internet. Sensing Bill was distracted, Will probed if it had to do with Luna. Though Bill denied it, Will saw through him and left, unconvinced. As soon as Will departed, Luna arrived, taunting Bill about his lingering pain over the revelation she wasn’t his daughter. She questioned what Will would think if he knew about their arrangement, leaving Bill visibly uneasy.
At Li’s office, she summoned Poppy and confronted her about Luna’s past deception regarding her paternity. Li accused Poppy of enabling Luna’s lies about Bill being her father. Poppy, defensive and emotional, admitted to her failings as a mother but denied knowingly supporting the deception. Li revealed she had run a paternity test using Tom Starr’s liver and blood samples, discrediting Poppy’s claims. “We both know who Luna’s father really is, don’t we?” Li pressed, leaving Poppy stunned and cornered.
