After the chaos of the shooting that left the hospital in turmoil, one moment stands out for its shock value — Poppy’s chilling reaction to Luna’s death. As Lee (the ever-cold and calculating character) delivers the devastating news that Luna didn’t survive her injuries, the room is filled with gasps. But what happens next takes everyone by surprise. Instead of mourning the tragic loss of her daughter, Poppy reacts with a smile and a statement no one expected: she’s glad Luna is gone.

The atmosphere turns instantly cold, and the silence that follows is suffocating. Stephie, who had always spoken out about Luna’s dangerous obsession, stands frozen, staring at Poppy with visible disgust. Ridge and Finn exchange stunned glances, trying to process what they just heard. What kind of mother says that? Stephie blurts out, unable to hide her horror, and for once, everyone in the room shares her reaction.

Lee, standing quietly with an unreadable expression, watches as Poppy’s cold words send ripples through the group. Lee mutters under her breath, “Maybe now we all understand why Luna turned out this way,” her tone dripping with judgment. While Lee has always been critical of both Poppy and Luna, there’s a strange shift in her demeanor. She’s not gloating. She’s not cold. In fact, she seems burdened. It’s as if something more is at play here.

After all, it was Lee herself who performed Luna’s emergency surgery. Bridget handled Liam’s case, but Lee made it clear that no one else, not even Finn, was allowed to touch Luna. Her insistence had raised some eyebrows, but in the rush of the crisis, no one questioned her decisions. Now, with Lee as the sole source of information about Luna’s condition, she announces Luna’s death with finality. There are no viewing of the body, no further investigations into her demise — Luna is simply gone.

But something feels… off. Too off. Stephie can’t shake the feeling. Despite her strong hatred of Luna, she finds herself questioning the circumstances surrounding the death. Later that night, she whispers to Finn, “Did you notice how fast Lee shut everything down?” Finn, who knows his adoptive mother better than anyone, agrees, “It’s like she had it planned,” he says, though at that moment, he has no idea how close he is to the truth.

And he’s right. Lee did have a plan, and it’s a chilling one. Spoilers reveal that Luna may not be dead at all. In an unexpected twist, Lee secretly faked Luna’s death and moved her to a private facility under a false name. Why would she do this? The answer is both heartbreaking and sinister. Lee wants to protect Luna, keep her away from prison, the press, and anyone who might seek retribution.

In a flashback, Lee is seen in a state of panic, trembling as she forges medical records and alters the death certificate. “This is the only way I can save her,” she whispers to herself, desperate to believe that despite everything, Luna deserves another chance. She convinces herself that Luna, who has been lost in her own turmoil, can be rehabilitated. Lee sees this as her attempt to rewrite a fate that was marred by Poppy’s failures as a mother.

As Lee watches the world mourn, rage, or move on without giving much thought to Luna’s demise, she begins the secret process of rehabilitating Luna. The body that was thought to be Luna’s remains in a medically-induced coma, but it’s not Luna who is lying there. Lee’s decision to fake Luna’s death is not just an act of mercy; it’s a calculated, desperate move. She knows that any misstep in this secret plan could unravel everything. One wrong move, and her entire medical career and freedom could be destroyed.

Is this really an act of mercy, or is it simply another manipulation by Lee, a woman who craves control at all costs?

As the days go by, Stephie grows increasingly suspicious, and Sheila, always with an eye for the smallest of details, catches wind of inconsistencies in the way Luna’s death was handled. It seems that the truth about Luna’s fate might come to light sooner rather than later. But who will be the one to uncover Lee’s greatest secret? Will it be Stephie, who is already on high alert? Or will Sheila — a woman who never misses a detail — find out first?

And once the truth is revealed, what will the consequences be? Will anyone be able to stop Lee’s plan before it all unravels, or will Luna’s fake death be the catalyst for a series of devastating events?

The questions linger: Is Lee doing the right thing by hiding Luna away, or is she simply making things worse for everyone involved? What will happen when the truth finally comes out? And will Luna ever have a chance to rebuild her life, or is this all just a fool’s errand for Lee? The tension continues to rise, and the stakes are higher than ever.
