Deacon and Bill Order Luna Out of Town — and Sheila Reaches Out to Poppy

Steffy goes on that Luna’s back, haunting her dreams. She knows this was hard for Finn. Pushing away his own child is the opposite of what he’d normally do. Finn says Luna left him no choice. Steffy points out they’re now dealing with Sheila too… she’s called a few times. Finn says she’s tried to reach him too. Steffy wonders what’s going on, but then decides she doesn’t want to know.

Sheila Grows Desperate

At Deacon’s place, he and Sheila joke about “making up” last night. He just wishes she’d filled him in on Luna. He doesn’t like the idea of Sheila being alone with her. Sheila insists she’s not a threat to her. Deacon says she is to Steffy. He declares that Luna has burned every bridge in this town. There’s no one who will help her.

Sheila tells Deacon she’s tried to reach Steffy and Finn to warn them about Luna, but they’re not answering her calls. He tells her to keep trying… he has to go down to the restaurant. Deacon kisses her as she promises not to keep anything from him again. Once alone, Sheila texts Poppy to come to her place.

Burning Her Last Bridge

At her apartment, Luna lets Bill in and thanks him for coming. “I need your help,” she implores. Bill says he was surprised to hear from her. She says everyone has turned their backs on her. He promised to always be there for her… he’s the one person who understands her. “Bill, please don’t abandon me too.”
Luna gushes about Bill always showing up at the right time and treating her life a daughter. The house arrest was their secret. It was special… until Steffy showed up and ruined it. She knows her dad would love her if not for Steffy. Bill huffs, “That’s enough.” He tells her she’s not the victim here. It makes sense that Steffy doesn’t want her in their lives. “And neither do I.” He can see she’s getting worked up again and wonders if he made a mistake getting her out of jail. Luna sniffs that she just needs someone to trust. Everyone wants her to leave town! Bill says that’s exactly what she should do. “Steffy and Finn don’t want you here.” Luna can’t believe he’s saying this. Bill tells her he means it. “I can’t help you anymore. Goodbye, Luna.” With that, he walks out. Luna gasps, “It’s because of her. Bill’s turning on me because of Steffy.” She opens the drawer containing the gun and pulls it out with a sinister look.

Liam Grows Concerned

At the cliff house, Steffy and Finn don’t know what to make of Sheila calling when they’re still dealing with Luna showing up out of the blue. Finn hopes she got the message and won’t come back. Liam appears as Steffy says she doesn’t expect Luna to respect boundaries. They make small talk about Liam making Kelly rainbow pancakes, and then Liam asks why they were talking about Luna.

Steffy says she was just venting to Finn. Liam heard that she broke in and cornered her. Finn says it was jarring to say the least. Steffy hopes if won’t happen again. Liam wants to know how they’re handling it, even though they don’t want him to worry about it. Finn vows he’ll never let Luna lay another finger on Steffy. Liam finds it insane that they even have to worry about her at all. He complains about his dad getting her pardoned. They agree it’s unforgiveable. Liam hears them saying there is still reason to be concerned about Luna. Steffy wants Liam to stop worrying, but he can tell by the glances they’re giving each other that there’s something to be concerned about. They admit Luna showed up there again yesterday. Steffy says she blames her for not having a relationship with Finn. Liam looks worried.

Poppy Arrives

At Deacon’s place, Sheila thinks back to warning Luna not to go after Steffy. Poppy arrives and asks, “What do you want?” She tells her she hasn’t spoken to Luna. Sheila knows, that’s why she thought she should warn her. Her daughter’s not stable at all. “I think she’s about to make mistakes all over again.”

Poppy tells Sheila she can’t control her and she’s tired of being held responsible for the things she’s done. Sheila needs to tell her what he knows. Poppy asks, “What has Luna done now?” Sheila says, “Nothing yet. I think she’s on the brink.” She admits she’s been spending time with her granddaughter, who was alone and unloved. Poppy says she’ll always love her daughter. Sheila exclaims that she needs to show her that! She’s not saying these things to upset her… she’s truly afraid that Luna will come off the rails. If she does, her anger and bitterness will be directed at Steffy again.

Sheila explains that Luna showed up at Finn’s house, trying to convince him to give her a chance. She’s now blaming Steffy for coming between her and her father. Poppy asks if she really thinks Luna would do something to hurt Steffy. Sheila thinks they’re at that point: Luna asked her to help her get rid of Steffy once and for all.

Deacon Has His Say

At Il Giardino, Luna creeps in until Deacon spots her. He tells her to turn her little ass around and go back out the door. She holds up her hands and says she comes in peace. Deacon wonders if she’s looking for Sheila… he knows about their meetings. Luna knows he forgave Sheila and even married her… she’s hoping he’d open his heart again, accept her as Sheila’s granddaughter, and let her be a part of their lives.

Luna pleads that she’s throwing herself at Deacon’s mercy… she has nowhere else to go. Deacon shows her the framed photos of Tom and Hollis. Two people who were dear to him. She killed them in cold blood. He’d be dishonoring them if he let her off the hook. “Get the hell out of town!” he bellows. “Nobody wants you, Luna!” Luna grips the gun in her purse as voices go through her head telling her to get out of town.
