[moody music plays] Look, I-I’m not trying to make excuses for all the terrible things I’ve done. I know that it shouldn’t matter if I have a mother or a father. I’m responsible for my own actions. I-I know that I’m to blame, but… sometimes I can’t help but wonder… maybe if I had a father, someone that I could turn to, someone that could guide me, care for me… it might have made all the difference in the world. I wish I would have known. But I didn’t know. I didn’t know. STEFFY: Luna is Finn’s daughter. Oh, sweetheart. I’m so sorry. I can’t believe it. -Of all people, Mom. -I know. I know. It’s too… it’s too much. You can let it out. You don’t have to be strong, Steffy. I really thought I could do this but it’s, um… It’s starting to hit me. Of course it is. Finn dropped a major bomb on you. Yeah, but Finn is struggling too, Mom. W-what am I supposed to do? Like, how-how am I supposed to accept this? How am I supposed to handle any of this? Okay, look at me. We’ll figure this out, okay? I’m still hoping that there’s some mistake, the paternity test is wrong. I wish, Mom. I wish more than anything that Luna wasn’t part of our family. [dark music plays] [heavy music plays] Did I go too far? I know you’re with Hope. I shouldn’t have done that. The truth is, I’ve been wanting to kiss you ever since we met. First Sheila is Finn’s birth mother. Now Luna is his daughter? Two women who tried to kill you, and you’re supposed to, what, -welcome them into your family? -It’s not Finn’s fault, Mom. I’m not saying that it is. I know you love him very much and this must be deeply painful for you. But you have children to worry about. And Finn and I always put the children first. They can’t stay here. It’s dangerous. You have to leave. LUNA: I mean, what do you mean… you didn’t know? Y-you didn’t know what? Everything you struggled with growing up. You shouldn’t feel bad. Well, I do. Why? You’re my cousin, Finn, and our moms weren’t even that close. I mean, I was happy to see you at holidays and stuff, even if it was just for a couple hours. Those were the only days I remember not feeling completely alone. But either way, you weren’t responsible for me, and there’s no way you could have helped anyway. My mom was always dragging me from one place to the next, and you were dealing with your own life, becoming a doctor and doing all these amazing things in the world. I was just happy to be your little cousin. I still am. Me not knowing who my father is has nothing to do with you. [uneasy music plays] DAPHNE: You should be ecstatic. Why? Because you… because you kissed me? That, too, but I was talking about the launch. The fragrance line was a hit, just like the jewelry line. Yeah. Yeah, sales are phenomenal. Uh, it surpassed our expectations, and I couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s talent and hard work. You should be proud of yourself. But it’s tainted, huh? You hate what you’ve done to Ridge, Steffy, and Eric. You feel regret. I can tell. I know you well by now. Respecting and admiring you… …was the last thing I expected when I came to LA. I see a wonderful, very talented… very handsome man. You want me to run. I think you have to. I have a wonderful marriage, beautiful children. -I’m not gonna just– -I want you to be safe. -You and the kids. -I am safe. With Finn. Mom, I-I love him. -I’m not gonna– -I do too. I do too. I don’t wanna lose my faith in him, but you are my child– you are my priority, you and my grandchildren. I’m worried about the kids too. This whole situation is freaking me out. [sighs] I hate to say it, but a lot of this pain -could have been avoided. -How? Finn never told you about Poppy. It happened before we even met. It never crossed his mind? He should have told you about that night. He thought nothing would come of it. But something did come of it, honey–a daughter. A young girl who tried to rip you away from your family. LUNA: I’m surprised that you can even look at me, let alone be kind to me. You always were, Finn. You’ve always looked out for me. I should have been there for you more than I was. You have no reason to feel guilty. There’s no way you could have stepped in for my missing father. Those are shoes that nobody could fill except him. You’re right. It’s really cool that you’re willing to listen to me after what I’ve done. I’m still shocked that you’re here. Well, I’m, uh…[sniffles] I’m shocked you’re not still in prison. Well, not physically, but I am still in custody. You’re serving your sentence here, under house arrest. It’s a total privilege, I know, but I was gonna die in there, Finn. I really was. Bill came to visit me, and he saw me all beat up and he was able to call in some favors and get me out. Yeah, well, leave it to Bill. He’s been really amazing. He understands me like no one else. I really wish that he could have been my father, but… he isn’t. Uh, the timing of this is actually really crazy. I was just trying to come to terms with everything. W-what do you mean, with everything? Who my father is. I have to accept that maybe it really is Tom Starr after all. No. No, Luna. Tom Starr isn’t your father. [heavy music plays] You have remorse for taking the company from Ridge and his family. I thought it was for the best… for the greater good for the future of Forrester. DAPHNE: You have a good heart. You’re a man of integrity. You did this for love. For Hope and her family. That was a big part of it, but it wasn’t the only reason. It’s admirable. Très romantique. In the end, though, you know what… what you and Hope did was wrong. -You know what’s right. -CARTER: Do I? I’m not so sure. I’ve struggled with that in the past. Like now? Our kiss. Well, we accomplished our goal. The fragrance line was a great success. Perhaps I overstayed my visit. It’s time for me to go back to Paris. [soft, dramatic music plays] Finn’s bringing chaos to your life. As much as you love your husband, all of this danger is coming from him. How can you say that? Finn hates this. He feels terrible that he’s -putting me in this situation. -I’m sure he does. I’m sure that he does. He can’t help who his biological mother is, that her sociopathic blood runs through Luna’s veins. And Hayes–I’m so terrified for that sweet, innocent boy. You know, behavior can be inherited. Mom, Mom, can you just please put your psychiatrist hat– just take it off, put it to the side. This isn’t-this isn’t helping, okay? You’re making me panic more than I already am. I’m sorry, sweetheart. I just wanna be prepared. You need to put your children before anything or anyone else. So what are you saying? You know what you need to do. [soft music plays] You don’t think Tom Starr’s my father either? I mean, I’ve had my doubts since day one of reading his letters saying that he wanted to see me and be involved in my life. I mean, could you imagine? My mom and him teaming up to raise me. That would have been a mess. I feel awful saying it, but… it might have turned out worse, if that’s even possible. I don’t know. With Tom, it always just– it felt wrong. I can’t explain it, but I feel it in my bones. No, your instincts are… …they’re right. They’re right. [sighs] Maybe you understand where I’m coming from because you always wondered about your birth parents. It was such a missing piece for me, not knowing who my father was. I had a mom who was always just half listening, going through the motions. She was always… looking for the next party. Well, that must have been hard. It was. Yeah, and the older I got, the-the deeper I crawled into myself. I retreated from the outside world, and… and I went to these like really dark places in my head. I was constantly wondering. I know that my life would have been better if I had a stable, loving male role model. Someone like you, Finn. You wanna leave Los Angeles? Maybe it’s best. Maybe you’re right. Au revoir, Carter Walton. [door slams shut] HOPE: Mm. Hey. Hey, Hope. Hi! So how did your talk with Daphne go? [suspenseful music plays] You want me to leave Finn. Break up my family. [sighs] You have to draw the line somewhere, Steffy. Mom, you know how important it is for me -to keep my family together. -Of course I do, and I want that more than anything, -but if your lives are at risk– -Luna can’t get to us. She’s not a threat anymore. Finn and Luna– they’re not in touch. She has no idea that he’s her father. Luna’s not the only problem. Sheila is as free as a bird, living a few miles away. Wait till she hears she has a granddaughter. She’ll probably try to break Luna out of prison herself. Oh, God. Oh, God. Your father and I have always tried to protect you, Steffy. We already lost one daughter, and– Two members of Finn’s family have already tried to kill you. Sweetheart, I’m not overreacting. I’m afraid that the environment here, this marriage, this house, it’s not safe. -Mom, this is my home. -I’m not suggesting that it has to be permanent. But I think it’s best if you pack up the kids and move into your grandfather’s. Come stay with your dad and me at Eric’s. I don’t expect anyone to feel sorry for me. Plenty of kids grow up without dads, and… they don’t come close to doing what I’ve done. I just know that I would have been a stronger person if… if I was raised in a… in a normal house with normal parents. At least, that’s what I like to tell myself, because… I’m so ashamed by who I became. I look back, and I don’t know who that girl is. But I did commit those crimes, and… those memories, they haunt me every night. Especially what I did to Steffy. She didn’t deserve that, Finn. She was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and… all I cared about was preserving my freedom and getting away with what I’d done. It was–it was cruel and-and selfish and evil. I don’t know how else to explain it, but it was truly like… like I left my body. That’s how I coped as a kid. I’d disassociate to the point where I felt like I could… escape my mom and the instability. And I became obsessed with this fantasy– if only I had a good guy in my life that would–that would come and save me from the chaos. I used to pray and pray that he’d come, that my father would– would magically appear and come take me away and… It would have helped so much to know what– what real love felt like, compassion and empathy. Oh, God. I didn’t know. I-I swear. It’s okay. No. It’s not okay. Your entire life you have longed to look into your father’s eyes… …and to see the man who helped bring you into this world, a man that can call you… his daughter. Look, that day has finally come. The day that you have waited an entire lifetime for, Luna. It’s me. I’m your father. [emotional instrumentals] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.
