John “Finn” Finnegan repeatedly called out Hope Logan’s name until she snapped out of her make-out session fantasy. When he asked if she was okay, Hope admitted she didnβt expect to feel this way and was surprised by her emotions. Finn, thinking Hope was referring to a migraine, switched to doctor mode, checking if she was feverish and asking her to clarify her feelings. Hope then gave a speech about Liam Spencer being a decent man, which wasnβt always true, and contrasted him with Thomas Forrester, who was honest but not always kind. Finn, loyal to Steffy Forrester and his family, assured Hope that the entire package of a good man was possible and even hinted at setting her up with one of his colleagues.
Meanwhile, at the cliff house, Steffy complained to Liam about Hope encouraging Finn to bond with Sheila Carter and about Hope spending too much time with Finn. Back at Forrester Creations, Hope took Finnβs hand to express her gratitude for his support, which Steffy witnessed unexpectedly and demanded to know what was happening.
In another storyline, Katie Logan was distracted during a business meeting with Carter Walton and eventually explained that Bill Spencer had discovered Luna Nozawa was his long-lost daughter. Carter, shocked, asked Katie about her thoughts. Katie remarked that Bill could do what he wanted with Poppy Nozawa, mentioning that Carter was her last relationship. She was unsure how Luna would react to Will Spencer having another sibling. Carter seemed more interested in how Katie felt about Bill having another baby mama.
Later, Luna and Poppy moved into Bill’s mansion. Poppy assured Bill they would contribute and not freeload, but Bill felt their presence was enough. Luna called Bill “dad” for the first time, which led to a heartfelt hug. Bill then introduced Luna to her brother Liam, who was taken aback by the news of having another sibling.
Additionally, Finn, free in the morning, wanted to spend time with Steffy, but she had back-to-back meetings and suggested waiting until the evening. She emphasized that Finn should spend as little time as possible with Hope. At the cabin, Hope cared for her sick daughter Beth, who had flu symptoms. Concerned, Hope called Finn, who came over to help. After treating Beth, Finnβs attentive care left Hope impressed and grateful.
At Forrester Creations, Ridge Forrester suggested to Carter Walton that Brooke Logan should take a more senior role and assist Steffy in running the business, but Brooke declined. Ridge then proposed a campaign featuring Brooke to revive interest in their bedroom line, showcasing her iconic moments at Forrester Creations. Despite Brooke’s initial hesitation due to her age, Ridge believed she could still add enchantment to the line. Steffy, irritated by this, witnessed Ridge’s persistence in involving Brooke in their marketing strategy.
