Bold and Beautiful Recaps: The week of August 5, 2024 on B&B

Brooke's Bedroom was a huge success, but Steffy still turned a budget-cutting eye to HFTF. Poppy asked Luna to keep a secret, but Luna told R.J., who told Katie, who told Chief Baker. Hope fantasized about Finn, and Taylor decided it was time to return to Los Angeles.

Brooke's Bedroom launches around the world

Monday, August 5, 2024

In Eric's office, Finn was with Hope and Steffy. They were anxious about the Brooke's Bedroom line. Steffy still couldn't believe she'd misplaced her passport. Hope flashed back to Steffy ignoring her as she'd tried to hand it to Steffy at the elevator. Steffy said she hoped Brooke's line turned things around after the drain HFTF had been on Forrester. Hope glared at Steffy.

Later, Hope was gone, and Finn had stepped out to take a call from the hospital. Zende and Carter arrived, excited about the Bedroom line's video drop that day. Steffy said that, afterward, she wanted to talk about HFTF. Zende noted that he and R.J. had been working day and night, doing their best. Steffy said they were fantastic designers, but the line had been chaotic lately.

Carter noted that sales had been on a steady downturn. Zende asked for a little more time. Steffy said she couldn't guarantee it. Carter decided that they'd circle back to it because that day was about Brooke's Bedroom, and Carter predicted that Brooke would knock it out of the park. Steffy hoped so, and Zende assured them that the warehouse was ready to ship orders. Steffy wondered what was taking Finn so long to return.

In the design office, Hope flashed back to Steffy threatening to cut Hope's line. Hope rubbed her temples. Out of nowhere, Finn was there, asking if she wanted him to work his migraine magic. Hope stood, and Finn massaged her shoulders, offering to get her blood flowing. He rubbed her neck and temples, and Hope asked him not to stop. Music played as Finn kissed her.

Katie arrived, snapping Hope out of her fantasy. She noticed that Hope was flushed and asked if Hope was okay.

Back in Eric's office, Finn returned after his patient consult. Hope and Katie arrived, and Carter said they still had time before the press conference. Katie announced that Will had returned to town, and Hope grew excited about seeing her cousin.

Katie then pointed out the great job Zende had done on the promotional pieces. She didn't think they could have done the relaunch without him. Katie was sure it would be a huge success because everyone in the world loved Brooke. Steffy scowled.

In Monte Carlo, Brooke admired the breathtaking scenery around her at the pier below them. Ridge felt as if he'd just stepped off Mount Olympus. Marcel, the coordinator of the fashion summit, arrived to greet them, and he hoped they'd had a good visit with the prince. Marcel escorted Ridge and Brooke to the outdoor press conference outside the casino. Brooke was nervous, but Ridge reassured her.

At the podium, Marcel introduced Brooke and Ridge. Ridge spoke first, shouting out the press members whom he knew. He told them all that his parents had brought him there for the first time when he'd been ten. Back then, he'd never imagined the love of his life would be a phenomenal woman like Brooke. He asked to hear it for Brooke -- forever sexy, forever Logan.

When Brooke took the podium, she said none of it would have been possible without Ridge, who'd really had to nudge her to get there. She proclaimed that Brooke's Bedroom was back. She explained that age was just a number and didn't define who one was. Beauty lay within and transcended time. One just needed to embrace the changes. "We're all perfectly imperfect. We're all bold. We're all beautiful," she said. As phones chimed, she stated that she gave to them Brooke's Bedroom.

As attendees gazed at their phones, Zende was in Eric's office with the others, panicking about the video going live. Katie proclaimed that Brooke was about to break the Internet.

The Brooke's Bedroom video played with a montage of Brooke modeling since its inception up to the current day. In a voiceover, Brooke said that what had begun as an intimate look into her bedroom had become a global phenomenon. Her line had transformed how women expressed themselves. Brooke was honored to represent Brooke's Bedroom. It was more than a collection. It was a movement... "For now...Forever...Brooke's Bedroom..."

Around the world, the video popped up on billboards in major cities and on phones in the hands of millions. Steffy scowled.

Back in Monte Carlo, Brooke was worried. So used to the big fashion shows, she wondered if everyone would see the video. Ridge assured her that they would. He wanted to celebrate Brooke. He said he was lucky and proud to have her. As they kissed, a woman disguised in a scarf and sunglasses looked on from behind some bushes.

At the old apartment, Luna held out Tom's returned letters, asking if Poppy had killed Tom Starr. Poppy was stunned when Luna asked if Poppy had done it to keep Bill from learning that Tom might be Luna's father. Poppy asserted that Luna was Bill's daughter, not Tom's. Figuring it didn't answer her question, Luna asked if Poppy had killed Tom or not.

Poppy declared that she'd never kill anyone. Poppy didn't know how Luna could ask such a thing. Luna asked what she was supposed to think when Tom had insisted that he'd been her father. Poppy said they'd taken a paternity test. Luna asked why Tom's backpack was even hidden there, and she admitted it was scaring her that a man from her mom's past had died. Luna asked if Poppy had eliminated a problem to protect their lives with Bill.

Poppy appeared angry. Luna hated questioning things, but she didn't understand why Poppy had kept Luna's paternity a secret. Poppy claimed that she hadn't known how Bill would feel about having another child. Luna didn't believe Bill would have rejected her. Poppy replied that she'd figured that out. Luna again pressed Poppy about being the killer.

Poppy yelled that she was innocent, and she had no idea how the backpack had gotten there. Assuming it hadn't magically shown up, Luna noted that the men had died of drug overdoses, and Poppy had done drugs in the past. Luna brought up Katie. Poppy told her daughter that Katie was wrong, and Tom had been wrong about being Luna's father. Poppy implored Luna to believe her. Poppy said they'd figure it out, but they had to keep it their secret.

Brooke breaks the internet, and Taylor returns

Tuesday, August 6, 2024

by Chanel S. Garner

In Eric's office, Finn had gone, and Katie, Carter, Zende, Hope, and Steffy received good news about Ridge and Brooke's performance in Monte Carlo. As they cheered, Katie said Brooke never disappointed and that Zende's social media drop had been amazing.

Hope remarked that what was good for Brooke's Bedroom was good news for the rest of the company. Steffy said they needed to make sure that the buzz translated into a big boost for the Bedroom line. Carter agreed with Steffy, saying they needed a significant impact from the event, orders that could take them into the next several quarters.

Steffy was cautiously optimistic, but Hope felt that the co-CEO should be able to put her feelings for Brooke aside and root for the Bedroom line because that was best for Forrester. Claiming her feelings had nothing to do with it, Steffy began to say something about running the company. "With your father," Hope interjected before Steffy could finish. Steffy said she wanted the relaunch to succeed, but they had to see.

Later, Carter praised Zende's video, which he'd put together in less than 24 hours. Steffy agreed that Zende had done well. Zende was enthusiastic about the relaunch. Katie announced that she was, too. Hope said Brooke had always been a hit with customers and buyers, and everyone adored her. Steffy guessed that Hope thought they still did.

Hope replied that Ridge had said it, and Monaco had proven it. Hope didn't think Forrester had anything to worry about due to Brooke's track record, and Katie concurred, touting Brooke success through the years. Steffy said it had been so early in Brooke's career, and it might feel different for Brooke so many years later. Katie said that was obvious because Brooke was different. Carter wanted to see numbers that validated Brooke's success. Hope was confident in her mother, and looking at Steffy, Hope said everyone else should be, too.

The numbers hadn't come in yet, but Katie said to give it a moment. Steffy remarked that they needed the success due to what was -- or was not -- happening with HFTF. Steffy began to bring up issues, with rent at their posh boutiques being one of them. Hope noted that it wasn't all her line's fault, but Steffy stated that word had gotten out that Thomas wasn't designing for HFTF. Hope figured that someone should have thought about that sooner.

Carter interrupted, defending Steffy's judgment. Zende remarked that even the biggest brands had ups and downs. He noted that fashion was cyclical. He figured it was why Ridge had brought a familiar face, Brooke's, back to an already popular line to radically increase sales.

Across the room, Katie looked grim. Their website had crashed.

Around the world, the Brooke's Bedroom video dropped. The media at the fashion summit was full of questions for Brooke and Ridge. One asked how Brooke felt to be back in her element. For Brooke, it felt like old times. Ridge said there was nothing like the magic of Brooke Logan.

Later, Brooke and Ridge had drinks in a tent at the summit. Brooke was worried about going viral, but Ridge was sure it would happen because of her and the history of the line. She asked if was about the lingerie. Ridge said it was because Brooke embraced everything about herself, and she shared it -- especially the naughty side, which was his favorite. Brooke squealed, tickled as he kissed her.

On the street, two women greeted Brooke and Ridge. One said she'd bought lingerie from the video, because if Brooke could rock it, so could she. The women posed with Brooke for a photo.

As Ridge and Brooke strolled through the streets, Brooke was anxious about the world's reaction, but Ridge said to give it time. Marcel jogged up to them with his phone, announcing that Brooke's Bedroom was trending, and everyone wanted to buy it.

Brooke rushed to find a laptop beneath a tent, but Ridge put in a call to the office.

Back in Eric's office, everyone was on their different devices, fretting about the website crash. Katie said IT was on it, and it would be back up soon. When Ridge called, Steffy put him on speaker and told him that they were on it. He asked what they were on, and Steffy said the site had crashed. Hope yelled that her mom had gone viral.

The site got back online. Ridge asked about the sales. They'd been at 30,000 before the crash. Steffy gasped, looking at a laptop. "126,000 units sold!" Carter yelled. Everyone cheered, and he chuckled that they didn't have that much inventory. Ridge said not to worry about that because they were winners. Katie, Hope, Carter, and Zende shouted out congratulations to Brooke. Steffy clicked off the line, and Brooke and Ridge kissed.

After the call, Katie continued to monitor sales. It was nothing like Katie had ever seen. Steffy said they'd outpaced their projections in just over an hour. Everyone lauded Zende for the camera work that had made their drop a success. Hope also gave her mother props. Steffy snickered. Hope said it just went to show how valuable Brooke was to the company.

Hope announced that they'd celebrate, and Katie said there would be a glass of Champagne with her name on it. Steffy continued to scowl, but Hope told her that it was okay to enjoy the victory -- not just for Brooke or her line, but for all of Forrester.

Back in Monte Carlo, Brooke and Ridge encountered an older woman who was eager to thank Brooke for imparting an empowering message to the world.

Brooke and Ridge strode to a fountain, and Ridge said he'd learned to never underestimate the power of Brooke Logan. Brooke thanked him for believing in her. His love and support meant the world to her. He said she meant to the world to him.

From the bushes, someone watched Ridge and Brookee. Ridge told Brooke that she was the love of his life. He wanted her never to doubt it. "My Logan," he uttered. She said, "My Ridge."

As Brooke and Ridge kissed, Taylor, who was the person in the bushes, called Steffy. Steffy exclaimed that it was good to hear from her. Taylor said she was in Europe, but she'd called to say that she was returning home. She'd call soon with the details.

Hope thinks about Finn as he makes out with Steffy

In Monte Carlo, Brooke and Ridge whizzed through the streets in their convertible, bidding au revoir to Monaco. Once on the jet, Ridge joked about the prince's crush on Brooke. Brooke said they had many memories there. Ridge offered to stay and make more, but she was eager to return home to work on the line. He thought Brooke should be proud. Remarking that it had been incredible, she wondered how Steffy was feeling about it all.

During the flight, Brooke was touched by the comments she and Ridge read on the "web thing." She felt silly for having been nervous before. He said she hadn't seemed that way. Brooke stated that it was because of Ridge and his encouragement. Ridge had pushed her, and that was what the success was about. She said women complimented her on her self-confidence, but it was a manifestation of how she felt when she was with Ridge. He contended that it was because she was forever sexy, forever beautiful, forever Brooke.

Ridge announced that Brooke had been a hit. Brooke said it was more web traffic than they'd had on a fashion show or media drop, but Brooke's Bedroom had succeeded before. "Not like this," he responded, proud of Brooke. She thanked him for believing in her and giving her the avenue to prove herself. He replied that she grabbed people and uplifted them. She motivated them without trying with her joy for life and giggle he couldn't get over. He said she was part of his world, and he never wanted to let that go.

In Eric's office, Carter and Steffy discussed the surging hits on the website and noted that Brooke's Bedroom was still trending. Hope rushed in, exclaiming that the website crash had gotten major coverage. She was fielding nonstop calls, and everyone loved seeing Brooke again. Hope knew Steffy didn't like it, but Brooke was back better than ever.

Steffy said that the Bedroom line had always been popular. Noting that it was soaring thanks to Brooke, Hope said it was time to be grateful for the Logan influence instead of fighting it.

Just then, Finn arrived with congratulations. Hope and Steffy glanced away, and a knowing look crossed his face. Finn wanted to celebrate, but it seemed as if Steffy had a lot going on. Steffy said it was fine, and leaving to take a call, Carter urged them to go.

Finn got a message that Li had picked up the kids. Hope told Finn and Steffy to go because Brooke had given everyone something to celebrate. Steffy was sure Hope was excited to see her mom. Steffy got it because everything was better with one's mom around.

Steffy told Finn that she'd meet him at the elevator after she retrieved some things from the design office. Steffy left, and Finn figured Hope was proud of her mom. Hope said Brooke had put herself out there, and it had paid off. He quipped that it was what the Logans were famous for, and he could see how much it meant to Hope.

Later, Hope was alone when Carter returned, still beaming about the numbers. He stated that Brooke was a true fashion icon. Hope hoped Steffy realized it, too. Carter noted that Hope had been stressed, and Steffy had been riding Hope a little. "A little?" Hope murmured. He contended that Steffy was stressed, too, about making the company a success.

Hope said one could be a strong leader without being cruel. "Look at you," she remarked. Carter said his name wasn't on the building. Disagreeing that Steffy was being cruel, he deemed it pragmatic. He felt that Brooke's success had been good for everyone. It had boosted every line, which took the pressure off everyone. Hope said that, according to Steffy, HFTF was hanging by a thread. Carter reasoned that Brooke's Bedroom could give it a lifeline.

"Oh, there is irony in there somewhere," Hope responded. Carter acknowledged the tension between her and Steffy. Hope was glad someone else had noticed it. She didn't like it. She enjoyed working at Forrester and wanted to contribute, but she felt undermined and as if she was Steffy's adversary. Hope claimed to be trying her best to keep it from getting worse.

Alone later, Hope tuned in for Brooke's Bedroom's launch in Australia. She flashed back to Steffy saying there was nothing Hope could do to her. Hope recalled the glowing things Finn had said about her and smirked to herself.

At the cliff house, Steffy was curious about the evening ahead without the kids. "It begins with this," Finn said, kissing her. He served her wine and tempted her with a description of dinner. Steffy was glad to be alone with him. He hoped she'd be less stressed after Brooke's announcement. Steffy said she'd been facing the battle alone "for so long." She hoped it changed. Shuddering, she didn't want to talk about any Logans.

Finn noticed that the lingerie launch had brought up a lot of conflicted feelings. He didn't want to debate it because he knew the resentment went way back. Guessing he meant Forresters versus Logans, Steffy said she was relaxed and didn't want to deal with that kind of energy. He said he just wanted her to know that he cared and would always be there for her.

Later, Finn and Steffy made out. She said they didn't need to rush, but he was in a hurry because he had rounds later. She replied that she needed the evening to last all night. They joked about feeling like teenagers. Steffy was grateful for the evening and said the last months had been stressful from Sheila, work, the deaths at Il Giardino, and Hope in Finn's ear. She thought they needed to take a moment and appreciate what they had, moments like those.

Steffy said all she needed was for Finn to be devoted, and she'd give it right back to him. Finn felt the same way. He declared himself the luckiest man in the world. He said everything had changed when Steffy had first looked at him. Their eyes had met, and that had been it for him. When he'd held her and Hayes in his arms, he'd told himself to never let it go. He said there was no one in the world like Steffy. Steffy stated that there was nothing stronger than their love for each other.

As Finn held Steffy, Hope continued to contemplate things at the office.

R.J. tells Katie what Poppy asked Luna to keep secret

Thursday, August 8, 2024

by Chanel S. Garner

In Luna and Poppy's apartment, Poppy insisted she didn't know how the backpack had gotten there, but she said Bill knew all about the false claims and Poppy's relationship with Tom. She said Bill understood it, and Poppy needed Luna to understand it, too. Poppy claimed she had always believed Bill was Luna's father, but she'd had lingering doubts that Tom might be right.

Poppy revealed that she'd seen Tom again when he'd spilled water on her at Il Giardino, and he'd delivered pizza to the house. Remembering it, Luna asked if it had been the night of the concert. Affirming it, Poppy said it was when she'd taken matters into her own hands.

Poppy asserted that she'd had nothing to do with killing Tom. She'd been intent on stopping Tom's lies, not killing him. She'd needed Tom to accept that Bill, not Tom, was Luna's father. Luna gleaned that Poppy had done it the night he'd died, and she asked why Poppy hadn't told her. Poppy claimed to be trying to protect Luna, not to stress her about Tom.

Poppy figured Tom had sneaked the backpack there for Luna to find. Poppy didn't know anything except that Bill was Luna's father. Luna noted that the only person contesting it was dead. Poppy insisted she hadn't had anything to do with the deaths. Poppy wanted Luna to trust her and help her through it with the same Nozawa power they always had. The women hugged, and Poppy decided to head to Bill's house. Luna said she'd show up there later.

In Eric's office, Carter, R.J., and Katie greeted Brooke and hailed Brooke's successful launch. Ridge said Brooke's Bedroom was back and better than ever, and R.J. noted that the line was still trending. Brooke wondered what she and Ridge had missed and if there was any news about the murders at Il Giardino.

Later, Carter ended a call with a contact and informed everyone that there was nothing new, but the police were considering all possibilities. Ridge said not Sheila, and R.J. wondered who else would run around killing people. Carter remarked that it might have been accidental overdoses, but Katie replied that until it was proven, they should all be on guard.

Katie suddenly decided she had somewhere to be. She left, and Brooke wondered what was going on with her sister. Carter took off to check on Katie. R.J. received a message from Luna, who wanted to see him. Ridge reminded his son to bring him a pizza. Alone with Brooke, he asked if she'd leave him, too. Brooke said she was where she was supposed to be -- in her life, in her career, and in his arms.

Back in Luna's apartment. R.J. arrived and saw that Luna seemed shaken. Luna said she never wanted to keep anything from him again. He asked what had happened and if she'd done something. She murmured that someone else had. Pointing to the backpack, she said she'd found it there, and he wouldn't believe what was inside.

Luna handed R.J. a stack of letters. He said that they were from the deceased Tom to Poppy. R.J. asked what Tom would have been writing to Poppy about, and Luna revealed that Tom had believed he'd been her father.

"Psycho much?" R.J. asked, looking over the letters. R.J. got why the situation was upsetting. Luna revealed that it wasn't what she was upset about. She couldn't figure out how the backpack had gotten there, and Poppy had said she hadn't had anything to do with it. Luna added that Poppy had confronted Tom on the night of his death.

R.J. asked what Luna was saying. Luna didn't think her mother would ever hurt anyone, but she'd do anything to protect Luna. Luna couldn't fathom it but said they had to face the fact that Poppy had a history of drug use, which was how Tom and Hollis had died. Luna exclaimed that Poppy had sworn she'd had nothing to do with it, and Luna felt she had to believe it.

Luna was freaked out. She apologized for dragging R.J. into it. Hugging her, he said they'd figured it out.

At Bill's house, Liam grimaced, saying, "Poor kid," after Bill told him that Will had walked in on Bill and Poppy. Bill said it hadn't been smart of him to ask Will to embrace Luna right after that. Liam agreed that it was a bit much, but Bill thought Will would love them once he got to know them. "Who doesn't love Poppy and Luna?" he asked.

Liam asked where Will was. Bill revealed that Will was staying with his mother, and it would take some time for him to accept that he had a sister. "And the fact that her mom is living with you instead of his," Liam added. Liam believed Will would come around. Bill said Will would have to because Bill wouldn't hide how much he enjoyed his new life. Liam noted that having a daughter had changed Bill, and it was nice to see him happy. Bill said it was due to Poppy.

Later, Bill and Poppy were alone kissing. He asked how things had been at the apartment. She said that being at the apartment had reminded her of how much she appreciated being with Bill. She never wanted to lose him. He said she wouldn't, and he was devoted to her always.

At Il Giardino, Deacon was on the phone, asking a restaurant critic to reassure his readers that the restaurant had been given the all-clear. Deacon listened as the critic asked more questions, and Deacon replied that the question one should ask was why it had happened.

Later, Katie strode in, looking to Deacon as if she was on a mission. Katie had questions about the deaths that had occurred there. Katie expressed sympathy for Deacon's losses and asked about Sheila's release. Deacon didn't want to hear suspicions about his wife. Katie revealed that she had suspicions about another woman, the new woman in Bill's life.

Guessing Katie had a problem with Poppy, Deacon said Bill had been a fool to let Katie go. Katie claimed she was concerned, not jealous, and she'd had a weird feeling about Poppy, who'd waited 20 years to get a paternity test. Katie questioned Bill moving the women in.

Nearby, R.J. arrived to pick up his pizza. He saw Katie questioning Deacon. Deacon stepped away to take a call, and R.J. told Katie had he'd overheard her asking Deacon about Tom Starr. R.J. said he had some information, but Katie needed to keep it confidential. R.J. revealed that Luna had shown him Tom Starr's old backpack, which had contained letters in which Tom had claimed to be Luna's father. Katie wondered if she could be right about Poppy killing Hollis and Tom.

Katie claims that Poppy is a murderer

Friday, August 9, 2024

by Dan J Kroll

At Il Giardino, Katie tried to process everything R.J. had told her. She questioned how Tom's backpack had found its way to Poppy and Luna's apartment and why Tom would have written letters claiming that he was Luna's father. R.J. swore Katie to secrecy because Luna had asked him not to tell anyone.

Katie questioned if Poppy could be a murderer. Both she and R.J. seemed to find that hard to believe, but neither could come up with any other explanation. R.J. suddenly became quiet. He recalled that Poppy had met privately with Tom on the night that Tom had died. According to what Luna had told him, Poppy had said something about "taking matters into her own hands."

Katie again suggested that Poppy had killed Tom and Hollis. R.J. warned Katie about jumping to conclusions before they had all the facts. A server arrived with the pizza R.J. had ordered. Before leaving, he asked Katie to "be careful" with the information he had shared.

In the employee area of the restaurant, Deacon shared his concerns about the slowdown the restaurant had experienced in the wake of Hollis and Tom's deaths. Deacon shared that Katie seemed to be questioning the deaths as much as they were. Sheila once again expressed her disappointment in herself for not having realized that Tom's backpack might have been a crucial piece of evidence in his death.

Moments later, Sheila and Deacon approached Katie to talk to her about her concerns about Hollis and Tom's deaths. Sheila said that she was the last one to see Hollis alive. Katie's eyes bulged and her jaw dropped when Sheila mentioned that Hollis had been in possession of Tom's backpack.

Sheila asked why Katie seemed so interested in the backpack. As Katie mentioned the drug overdoses, both Sheila and Deacon insisted that neither Tom nor Hollis had actively been engaged in any drug use while working at the restaurant. "Everything seems like it's off," Deacon said.

Deacon and Sheila had to get back to work, but Katie lingered in the restaurant. She reached for her phone and called Chief Baker to ask if she could talk to him about the deaths at Il Giardino.

Back in the office, Sheila showed up with a bowl of chicken and potato stew that she claimed was one of her grandmother's "old, old world" recipes. Deacon and Sheila discussed why Katie seemed to interested in Hollis and Tom's deaths and what they possibly had to do with "Bill's new girlfriend."

In their apartment, Poppy told Luna that she had no idea how the backpack had ended up in their apartment. Poppy also defiantly stated that she had nothing to do with the deaths at Il Giardino. Luna asked if anyone else had keys to their apartment. Poppy dodged that question and instead reiterated that she had not been involved in Tom and Hollis' deaths.

Luna didn't explicitly say that she believed what her mother was saying. She again asked how the backpack had gotten into their apartment if the door had been locked. "It wasn't me!" Poppy shouted. She pleaded with her daughter to believe her. After some hesitation, Luna said that she believed Poppy.

Poppy told Luna that they should go back to Bill's and never return to the apartment. "This place is our past, and Bill and the Spencer family? That is our future," Poppy said.

Liam dropped by the Spencer estate to get Bill's signature on some legal documents. Liam couldn't help but notice his father's sour attitude and asked what was bothering him. Bill confessed that he had a "feeling in [his] gut" that something was wrong with Poppy. Liam said that Poppy seemed to be happy, and he suggested that whatever might have been bothering Poppy could have nothing to do with Bill.

Bill expressed his concern that Poppy might not have felt like she could confide in him. Still, Bill said that having Poppy and Luna in his world had "enriched" his life in ways he never could have imagined. Bill was optimistic that Liam, Wyatt, and Will would also one day feel that way. "I couldn't do this without my boys," Bill said with a smile.

Speaking on behalf of his brothers, Liam said that he, Wyatt, and Will all supported Bill and wanted what was best for everyone. "The best is yet to come," Bill beamed.

Later, a frantic Katie showed up wanting to talk about Poppy. "You need to listen to what I have to say because your life could depend on it," Katie said. Bill laughed off her comments. "This is serious. I'm not trying to intimidate your girlfriend or hurt her precious feelings," Katie replied. Bill was confused and asked what she was talking about.

Katie laid out what she knew: that Poppy had known Tom, Tom had played the musical festival on the night that Luna had reportedly been conceived, Poppy's secret mints, Tom's letters claiming he was Luna's father, Poppy and Tom's secret meeting, and two men dying from mysterious drug overdoses. Poppy entered the house as Bill asked Katie if she believed that Poppy was a murderer. "Yes," Katie replied emphatically.
