Finn is shocked by Hope's overtures

The Bold and the Beautiful Recap for Wednesday, August 14, 2024

At Bill's house, Katie urged Bill to get another paternity test, insisting that Poppy had been willing to kill even at the suggestion that Tom was Luna's father. Bill said that hadn't been proven. Katie said the police had arrested Poppy for a reason, and if she was capable of murder, she was capable of faking a test. She implored him to do a new test that day.

Luna returned to the room, saying she'd been unable to rest. She cried, upset that her mother was in jail. Bill hugged her.

Later, Bill and Luna were alone. He guessed it was a scary time for her because she'd always had her mom. Luna said Poppy might go away for a crime Luna knew Poppy hadn't committed. Bill stated that he'd be there if the unthinkable happened, and he'd do anything he could for her. He promised she wouldn't be alone and would always have her father.

Luna said she wouldn't hold Bill to it. He asserted that she could and should, but Luna offered to go back to her apartment. Bill didn't want that and reminded her that the building was about to be demolished. He needed her to know that he was there for her, his home was her home, and she'd always have her father. They hugged.

Bill was impressed with the grace and dignity Luna was showing. She said it was a faade. He knew she was trying to be strong, and he promised they'd get to the bottom of it. As he hugged Luna, he recalled Katie asking him to get another DNA test.

In the design office, Katie watched Will arrive at her behest. He asked what his father had done that time. Katie informed Will that Poppy had been arrested for the overdoses at Il Giardino. Will was freaked out by the news, but Katie assured him that the police had reacted quickly, so Bill wasn't in danger. Will said it was insane. Katie remarked that Poppy could have also faked the paternity test, so Katie had urged Bill to get another one.

Will remarked that Katie still cared about Bill, even after all the hurt he'd caused her. Katie agreed. She hugged Will and smiled sadly.

At Eric's house, the party continued with the DJs working in lingerie. Donna, still fan-struck, told Eric she'd written fan letters to Danny -- and maybe a little fan fiction. Taking her into his arms, Eric asked her to tell him about it later that night.

In the foyer, Ridge, Brooke, Carter, Christine, and Danny discussed the sales and buzz Brooke's Bedroom had received. Christine bashfully admitted that she was part of creating the sales and buzz.

Across the room, Finn asked if his wife was okay with all the focus on Brooke. Steffy viewed it as a focus on Forrester's success and the partnership with Danny. Brooke approached to thank Steffy again for her kind words and support. Steffy said Brooke's success was Steffy's, too. Hope swooped in, waving a glass of Champagne, glad to hear it, because the Logans would bring success for years to come.

Nearby, Pam and Donna asked Christine and Danny about life on the road. Christine said she loved it but admitted she wasn't doing all the work. Danny said it was great with her there. Donna mentioned that they'd been sold out the previous night, and she'd missed it. Danny invited Donna and Pam for the VIP treatment in Santa Barbara, and the women bumped fists.

Brooke returned, and Donna took pictures of her with Christine and Danny. Steffy watched with a long face. Finn, who knew it was hard for his wife, said he was there for her. As Steffy and Finn kissed, Hope watched with interest. When Brooke saw Hope, Brooke looked worried.

Danny was excited to be a part of Brooke's line and mentioned that it was as if they both were reinventing themselves and putting it out there in the public eye again. Christine said Danny wasn't doing it in his underwear, but Brooke was pulling it off. Christine wanted to see if Lauren had gotten some of the merchandise. Carter said Lauren had and was one of their biggest customers. Everyone posed to take a selfie for Lauren.

With Steffy and Finn, Hope waited for the photo-taking and mentioned her mom getting long-overdue accolades. Steffy said the revenue was all that mattered.

Ridge joined Brooke and the others as talk about Brooke's message extended to HFTF. Christine hoped it wasn't true that the line was struggling. Behind Christine, Hope stammered that her line had been in transition for the last couple of quarters, but it had Forrester's complete commitment. "Isn't that right, Steffy?" Hope said. Steffy stared wide-eyed at Hope's audacity.

Later, Danny's music played through the room, and Danny handed the DJ a drive to use later. Across the room, Brooke thanked Steffy again for the things she'd said, and they agreed that the success that day belonged to everyone, including Steffy. Brooke wanted to get along -- no more Logans versus Forresters. Brooke was sick of it and said she and Hope didn't want to cause Steffy any problems. "I mean that," Brooke said, and Steffy smiled.

Brooke returned to Ridge's side. He'd seen her with Steffy and thanked Brooke. Brooke said they were family and would work it out. Ridge believed it. He hugged Brooke, but her smile faded as she watched Hope gazing at Finn.

Later, everyone had gathered as Ridge finished speaking about the partnership. He asked if Danny wanted to say anything. Danny revealed that Cricket had encouraged him to sing a song for his superfan Donna, but in light of the partnership, he was doing it for all of Forrester. "Brooke's Bedroom, are you ready to rock on?" he asked.

Everyone danced as Danny performed "Rock On." Donna almost fainted when he sang a lyric to her. Steffy backed out of the room to take a call. Hope danced into the foyer where Finn was. She set her glass down, pushed him against a wall around the corner by the stairs, and kissed him. Finn pushed her back and looked at her in shock.
