The Envelope That Changed Everything

Finn wasn’t expecting his life to change when he opened the mail that morning. He certainly didn’t expect to stumble across a folder Lee had clearly tried to keep hidden at the cliff house. But among the layers of anonymized medical records and files from a defunct lab in Monterey was a single piece of paper that would detonate his reality.

The results were unmistakable: Jack Finnegan — his own father — had fathered Luna Nozawa.

Finn’s heart thudded in his chest. He read the results again and again, hoping they’d change, praying for a mistake. But it was real. And with that truth came an unbearable realization: he and Luna were siblings.

The man who once lied about Finn’s own paternity, claiming he was adopted to hide an affair, had done it again. This time with Poppy, Luna’s mother. And now Luna — who’d been spiraling through her own trauma — was the product of that same kind of betrayal.

Rage and Confrontation: Lee’s Role Revealed

Finn’s grief turned to fury as he realized Lee had known.

When she arrived later that day, he didn’t hold back. He threw the envelope on the table and demanded answers. Lee, cornered and emotional, admitted she had suspected the truth for some time. She had the DNA confirmed — but kept silent.

“I didn’t want to destroy you,” she whispered. “I didn’t want to destroy her.”

But that wasn’t enough for Finn.

“You kept the truth buried, again,” he shouted. “Just like when Jack lied about me. And now Luna… she’s my sister. She deserves to know.”

Lee pleaded with him not to tell Luna in anger — that the girl had been through enough. But Finn was already halfway out the door.

“She needs someone strong enough to tell her the truth,” he said coldly. “Because the lies are killing us.”

The Devastation of Truth: Luna Learns Everything

At Eric’s estate, Luna was recovering from her recent trauma — the drugged party, the romantic confusion, and her mother’s growing list of secrets. When Finn showed up, R.J. hesitated but ultimately stepped aside, sensing the seriousness in Finn’s tone.

Alone with Luna, Finn handed her the envelope. She opened it with shaking hands. The DNA results were blunt. Jack Finnegan: paternal match.

Luna gasped. “No… that can’t be right.”

But it was.

The floor dropped out from beneath her. All the confusion, the strange tension with the Finnegans, the uncertainty about her past — it all made sense. And yet, it made everything worse.

Tears poured down her cheeks. “All my life, I wondered who I was. And now I find out… I’ve been getting close to people I might be related to. What if I’ve already—”

Finn froze. “Luna… what are you saying?”

She couldn’t bring herself to answer directly. She just shook her head. “There was a party… I drank something. I don’t know what was in it. I woke up and… I don’t remember who I was with. R.J.? Zend? What if… what if I crossed a line I didn’t even know was there?”

Jack’s Reckoning: A Father Confronted

While Luna reeled, across town Jack Finnegan was staring at a photo of Finn, unaware his world was about to implode — again.

That’s when Poppy walked in, pale and furious. She slammed a copy of the DNA results on his desk.

“You knew, Jack. You knew you were Luna’s father — and you said nothing.”

Jack tried to explain. “I suspected. But I didn’t know for sure until recently.”

“You don’t get to decide what Luna can or can’t handle!” Poppy roared. “You robbed her of the chance to know her father. Just like you robbed Finn.”

Jack broke. “I loved you, Poppy. I was scared. I didn’t know how to make it right after everything I destroyed.”

“You didn’t try!” she snapped. “And now you don’t get to hide anymore. Because everyone knows.”

The Sibling Bond: Luna and Finn Begin to Heal

Back at the cliff house, Luna cried until she couldn’t cry anymore. Finn sat beside her, no longer a protector or doctor — but a brother.

“Did Jack know?” she asked, her voice barely audible.

“I don’t know,” Finn said. “But I’m going to find out.”

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jack stood on the doorstep, shoulders tight, guilt radiating from every pore.

When he entered the room and saw Luna, he froze. “You’ve grown up to be so beautiful,” he whispered.

But Luna wasn’t interested in nostalgia.

“You don’t get to talk to me like that,” she said coldly.

Jack tried to explain, to apologize. But Luna wasn’t having it. Finn, standing beside her, was even less forgiving.

“You made me think I was an only child. You lied — again. And now look what you’ve done.”

Jack begged for a chance to fix things, to get to know his daughter. But Finn shook his head.

“You already lost it.”

Jack left, broken.

Mother and Daughter: Poppy Faces the Truth

The next morning, Luna summoned her mother.

“How long have you known?” she asked.

“Since you were four,” Poppy admitted tearfully. “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to grow up thinking you were a mistake. Jack was married. I wanted you to feel wanted.”

“You still should’ve told me,” Luna said. “Especially before I got close to R.J., before I joined the Forresters.”

“I was scared,” Poppy whispered. “I didn’t know how to do it without ruining everything.”

Luna nodded. “Well, now everything is ruined. I need time. I need to find out who I am without lies.”

Coming Next Week: The Fallout Begins

Luna Distances Herself from R.J. and Zend

In the wake of the truth, Luna pushes both R.J. and Zend away. Her connection to either of them now feels laced with uncertainty and guilt. She’s not sure who she was with that night — and she can’t risk staying entangled in something that might turn out to be incestuous.

R.J. is devastated. Zend is angry. And both men prepare for emotional war.

Finn Confronts His Parents — Again

Still reeling, Finn confronts Jack and Lee once more, accusing them of a pattern of lies. Jack tries to explain, but Finn’s had enough. Lee confesses she had suspected Jack’s paternity for years, but hoped it wasn’t true. Now, the consequences of silence have shattered her relationship with her son.

Finn temporarily moves out of the cliff house, taking Steffy and the kids to Eric’s estate, vowing not to let another family crisis destroy his marriage.

Brooke, Ridge, and the Foresters Get Involved

As Luna’s emotional breakdown reverberates across Forrester Creations, Brooke discovers that Zend has been consulting a lawyer — not for custody, but to assert legal standing if Luna was too impaired to consent the night of the party. Zend says he’s trying to “protect” Luna. Brooke is horrified and tells Ridge.

Soon, the entire Forrester family is at odds. Zend vs. R.J. becomes a volatile conflict, with Luna caught in the middle.

A Medical Emergency Escalates the Crisis

Luna walks in on Zend and R.J. screaming at each other in the Forrester design office. The stress and exhaustion become too much. She collapses, triggering a terrifying medical emergency. Rushed to the hospital, she’s placed under Finn’s care.

And for the first time, he’s treating his sister.

A Dream Sparks New Questions

While unconscious, Luna whispers about a dream — Poppy at a waterfall, holding a baby. The image rattles Poppy, who later confesses there might have been another man in the picture when Luna was conceived.

Could Jack not be the father after all?

Finn is stunned. Could the DNA test have been wrong? Or was it manipulated?

Liam Recalls a Name… Deacon?!

Meanwhile, across town, Liam continues to recover from his shooting. In a powerful moment, he recalls a detail he hadn’t been able to place — a car, parked near the cliff house… and a name: Deacon.

Hope is shaken. Could her father be involved in Liam’s shooting?

Deacon swears he’s innocent, but when Sheila cryptically mentions “unfinished business” with Liam, Hope demands answers. Deacon reluctantly reveals that someone connected to Bill Spencer might have been present that night.

Bill’s Hidden Agenda? Wyatt and Zachary Return

Things heat up when Wyatt and Zachary resurface in San Diego, responding to a cryptic warning Luna gave before her collapse — warning them to stay away from the Spencers. As suspicions rise, a new theory takes hold: Was Bill behind Liam’s shooting?

Did he see Liam as a liability, too emotionally unstable — or too close to a secret he wasn’t supposed to know?

Final Thoughts

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful isn’t just about DNA or romantic fallout. It’s about identity — and the devastating price of lies.

As Luna, Finn, Jack, Poppy, and the rest of the Forrester family brace for what’s next, one thing is certain:

No one leaves this storm unchanged.
