Luna’s Dream and Steffy’s Worst Nightmare Collide — Hope Drops a BOMBSHELL on Carter!

As Finn explains to Luna that yup, she heard him correctly, he’s her dad, the future of his marriage is being discussed at the beach house. Taylor tells her daughter that no matter what Finn intends, he’ll find it impossible to keep Luna at arm’s length. “It’ll start slowly,” the concerned mom predicts, “maybe accepting calls from Luna. Awkward conversations that will turn more meaningful. Suddenly, he’s visiting and the next thing you know, the girl that tried to kill you will be enmeshed in your lives!” Basically, it’ll be the Sheila situation all over again. Rather than allow herself and the kids to be in danger, they should, Taylor insists, pack up and move in with Eric.

Ridge Learns the Truth

Walking in on this conversation, Ridge is quickly (and, surprisingly, largely off-screen) filled in on Finn and Luna’s kinship. “Poppy moved in with Li and then made a move on Finn?” he asks, with everyone expressing general disgust at what went down. (Guess Ridge has kinda sorta forgotten about that whole kissed-former-daughter-turned-half-sister Bridget thing, huh? Maybe a pic will jog his memory… )

As they continue to discuss the situation and its implications, Taylor notes that Li will flip out when the truth comes to light. Ridge, meanwhile, theories that Luna “probably fought the crazy as long as she could until she turned into the killer she was always meant to be, like her grandmother.” (Dude, maybe think before speaking… you’re basically saying that Steffy and Finn’s son, Hayes, is doomed, too. Maybe naming the kid after Taylor’s abusive ex-husband was foreshadowing after all!)

Despite Taylor and Ridge presenting a united front in their belief that Steffy should move into Eric’s, she seems determined to stand by her man… at least for the moment.

Luna’s Family Reunion

Finn tells Luna that he’s “not exactly proud” of having slept with his aunt. He adds that he should have been more suspicious when Poppy swore her baby wasn’t his. Luna asks how the truth came to light, and her new daddy gives her all the details, including that he ran not one but two paternity tests. “I should have been there for you,” he laments. “We were cheated out of all those years. Your life would have been different.” But no matter what might have been, this is their new reality. Luna breaks into tears, saying all she ever wanted was a dad who wanted her. Once again, they share a hug, even as Steffy is assuring her parents that Luna’s not a threat because she’ll be behind bars for the rest of her life…

Carter Confesses

Over at Forrester Creations, Daphne is flashing back to her conversation (and kiss) with Carter as she packs up her office. She muses that she wasn’t supposed to fall for him, but clearly did. Zende walks in — dressed as if he’s ready to hit the slopes — wanting to discuss with her the idea of creating a fragrance geared toward the Hope for the Future line. (Of course, he might want to discuss that with Hope, especially given recent events!) For her part, Daphne says she’s going back to Paris and smart-as-a-whip Zende does the math, suggesting it has “something” to do with Carter.

Meanwhile, Carter.  tells Hope that he knows what she’s gone through with other men, and that he will always be honest and never hide anything from her. With that, he confesses, “The reason Daphne is going back to Paris is that she kissed me,” he admits. “I know,” she responds. “I saw. I saw everything!”
