B&B Spoilers: Daphne ๐ฃ๐๐พ๐ in a Car Accident – Steffy Suspectes Hope is the ๐ช๐๐ ๐ ๐พ๐
Finn and Luna hug as she weeps happy tears. Finn swears that if heโd known she was his daughter, heโd have been there for her.
Luna, meanwhile, is thrilled that for the first time, she is looking into the eyes of her father.
As they continue discussing their newly complicated relationship, Luna says that sheโs always loved him, and his being her father is more than she ever could have wished for.
โBut you canโt feel the same toward me, especially after what I didโ to Steffy, she realizes. She follows this up with the million-dollar question: โWill you ever be able to look at me and embrace me as your daughter?โ
But embrace they do, even as she admits understanding that he is in an impossible situation. As he prepares to go home and talk to Steffy โ whose head will no doubt explode when she finds out exactly where Lunaโs serving her sentence โ Luna thanks him for telling the truth rather than lying to her the way Poppy did.
The last thing she says before he walks out? โI love you for thatโฆ Dad.โ
Steffy Refuses to Leave Her Husband
At the beach house, a clearly emotional Steffy listens as Taylor insists that she pack up the kids and leave Finn for their own safety.
Sure, Finn would do nothing to hurt them, but, says Taylor, โeverybody related to him would!โ First Sheila and now Luna.
Steffy has no intention of leaving, even as Ridge urges her to pack a few things and leave with them. โFinn and I vowed never to let anything come between us again,โ she says.
But her parents remain insistent, even as Steffy repeatedly insists that Luna can never hurt them, as sheโs going to be behind bars for the rest of her life.
Carter Tries (and Fails) to Explain Himself
Things are tense in the main office at Forrester, where Carter is surprised to hear that Hope was on the other side of the door during his conversation โ and kiss โ with Daphne.
He never, ever would want to hurt her. But the last thing he expected was for Daphne to kiss him. Hold up, says Hope, asking if heโs trying to blame Daphne for what happened between them!
He tries explaining himself, very aware of what Hopeโs been through with men in the past. But she struggles to hear what heโs saying, her head clearly filled with doubts. Did he, perhaps, lead Daphne on?
After all, the two of them have been spending an awful lot of time together of late.
Carter reluctantly acknowledges that he and Daphne spent a lot of time talking, which isnโt exactly what Hope wants to hear.
โSo you were sharing your feelings?โ she asks, bitterly and he replies that Daphne understood. (Wrong answer, dude. So, so wrong!) He apologizes for letting her down.
โI believed in you,โ she says, practically vibrating with her sense of betrayal. โYour vision, not only for the company, but for us.
And you told me that you would look out for me, that you would have my back. That it wasnโt just empty promises and empty words and that you were different.
That you werenโt like those other men in my life. So can you tell me why I am standing here with that same bitter taste of betrayal in my mouth?โ
Tune In Tomorrowโฆ
As the episode ends, Hope crosses the hall and enters the design office, where she finds Daphne packing her things.
Daphne โ fresh off a conversation with Zende in which she talked about Carter having regrets where the takeover was concerned โ says sheโs heading back to Paris tonight.
This leaves Hope to ask why. โIs it because youโre falling for Carter?โ Meanwhile, Ridge and Taylor return home, more certain than ever that Steffy is making a mistake by remaining with Finn.
They try, however, to comfort themselves with the (mistaken) knowledge that Luna is behind bars.
And when Finn arrives at the beach house, Steffy says the same basic thing. The look on Finnโs face, however, tells another story, as he shares that thereโs something his wife needs to know about Lunaโฆ
