At Bill’s place, Luna cries that if it weren’t for him, she’d still be fighting for life in prison. Luna never wanted to hurt anyone but she turned into a monster. What she did to Tom, Hollis, and Steffy… “That’s my cousin’s wife!” Bill realizes she regrets what she did to Steffy. Luna cries that she begged her to let her go. She didn’t think about her family and kids. Now she thinks all the time about what their life would have been like if Steffy wasn’t found in time. She could have ruined Finn’s life and he’s the only person in her family who ever gave a damn about her.
In Forrester’s design office, Hope tells Steffy that whether she likes it or not, Carter runs the company now. Nothing and no one will undermine his authority. Hope goes on about everyone being treated with respect regardless of their last name. Steffy asks, “Even me?” Hope says they’ve been under her and her family’s thumbs for ages, but times of changed. “Because of Carter.”
Steffy reminds Hope that Carter robbed her family of the business they created. Hope thought she wanted to help. Steffy’s there for her family legacy. Hope thinks it sounds like she’s complaining about the leadership. Steffy points out she’s part of the leadership, but she won’t keep quiet about the coup. Hope mockingly says, “Ooo, you’re still angry.” Steffy admits it. Hope asks why she came back then.

In the design office, Steffy tells Hope she’s never hidden her opinion about the takeover and she isn’t going to. Hope sniffs, “And yet you agreed to work here?” Steffy thinks Hope has an issue with that. She reminds her that she ripped her grandfather’s company out of their hands after he entrusted it to her and her father. Hope says, “So there’s no reason for me to question your motives then?” She wonders if protecting her legacy is the real reason she’s there, or if there’s more to it. Steffy tells Hope that power’s made her paranoid. The facts are, she and Carter took something that didn’t belong to them. Hope thinks she’s be a fool to trust her. She wants the truth while they’re alone. “What’s really going on with you?”
In the main office, Carter wants to show Daphen what he has in mind for the perfume line. She coos that she wants to know what’s in that handsome head of his.

He looks into her eyes as she takes his tablet. Breathing in her scent, Carter has to snap himself out of the spell she’s casting to keep talking business. She muses that they’re a good pairing and compatible. Carter stammers, “Yeah.” She asks if she’s distracting him. He says it’s the scent… he’s losing his train of thought. “It’s very powerful.” Daphne asks, “Like you can get lost in the woman wearing it?”
At the prison, Poppy informs the administrator that she wants a straight answer. “Where is Luna?!” He’s not at liberty to say, and walks out.

At Bill’s place, Luna can’t begin to comprehend taking two lives, but as awful as that is, she didn’t know them. Steffy’s always been so kind to her and she turned on her. Bill thinks she just panicked. Luna cries that all the years of frustration turned her into a different person. In that moment she couldn’t see Steffy as a wife and mother. She was standing between her and what she wanted. “There were no family ties strong enough to stop me.” She always knew Finn cared. Pretty much her only happy memories from childhood were with him. She’s sure he’ll never look at her the same.
In his office, Finn sets a timer as he awaits the results of the paternity test with a freaked out look on his face. He paces and scrubs his chin as he flashes to his argument with Poppy, and to rescuing Steffy from Luna’s clutches. The timer goes off and he slowly makes his way back to the desk.

With red-rimmed eyes, Finn picks up the test strip, and looks down at a positive result. “It’s positive.” He sits heavily in his chair and cries. “Poppy lied to me. It’s me. I’m the father. Luna’s my daughter.”
