At the Cliff House, Finn paces the kitchen, reflecting on his conversation with Poppy about Luna’s true parentage. He’s torn about how to break the news to Steffy that Luna is his daughter. Steffy enters, sensing something is on his mind, and after a tender moment, she leaves for work, assuring him they’ll talk later. Finn is left alone, struggling with how to tell her.
At Il Giardino, Poppy learns Finn hasn’t arrived at work yet, so she decides not to leave a message. Deacon refills her coffee and gently inquires if she’s okay, guessing that she’s had a lot of tough nights due to Luna’s actions. He apologizes for his comment but acknowledges that Poppy must still love Luna despite everything. Poppy reflects on the loss of Tom and Hollis, two good men, and how different Luna’s life might’ve been if she’d known her father. The conversation turns to a tribute photo of Tom and Hollis, and Poppy suddenly has to leave.
At Bill’s place, Luna perks up when Bill enters the room and questions him about a tense conversation she overheard. Bill reveals that Finn and Poppy have both visited her in prison, and Luna is surprised that Finn would want to see her. Luna explains that her relationship with Finn was distant, largely due to Li’s issues with her mother, but she admired Finn from afar. Bill gives Finn credit for how he handled his relationship with Steffy, and Luna expresses a desire to see him again. Bill warns her not to let anyone know she’s there, especially her cousin. Luna acknowledges that she hurt Steffy, but Bill is grateful that Steffy and the kids are safe. Luna wishes Finn could see her differently, and she whispers an apology to Steffy, reflecting on her past actions.
Meanwhile, at the Forrester mansion, Ridge and Taylor share a quiet moment with coffee and kisses, discussing how much they enjoy living together. They’re interrupted by Steffy, who arrives with a glowing report about her anniversary with Finn. Steffy reflects on their journey, overcoming many challenges, including Luna’s kidnapping and attempted murder. They’re relieved Luna is in prison, where Steffy believes she’ll stay for life. Steffy can never forget her time in the cage, but she’s thankful for Finn’s unwavering determination to rescue her.
Later, Poppy rushes into Finn’s office, demanding to know if he told Steffy the truth about Luna being his daughter. Finn admits he went to the prison to find Luna but couldn’t. Poppy denies withholding information but is desperate for Finn to keep their secret. Finn insists that he can’t ignore his daughter and accuses Poppy of stealing his chance to be a father. He’s furious that she didn’t protect him from this situation, especially considering she was like a mother to him. He mourns the lost years he could’ve had with Luna, and his anger escalates when he reflects on the devastation caused by Luna’s actions. He vows that he won’t let his daughter’s existence destroy his family with Steffy, but he’s unsure how to handle the situation without breaking her heart. Just then, he receives a text from Steffy, expressing her love and support, but Finn is overwhelmed, unsure how to handle the storm ahead.
