The Monday episode of The Bold and the Beautiful explodes with tension, heartbreak, and unthinkable consequences as Luna’s long-buried secret finally detonates. What begins as a day of emotional revelation spirals into chaos and tragedy, ending with a gunshot that changes everything forever.

The episode opens quietly, with the Spencer and Forrester families gathered at the cliff house for the reading of the DNA results. The air is thick with unease. Luna stands apart from the others, her hands trembling as she clutches the envelope that will finally confirm what everyone has suspected — and feared. Bill, Li, and RJ exchange uneasy glances, while Poppy paces near the window, whispering that this truth could “destroy more than it heals.”

When the results are finally read aloud, the room goes silent. The DNA confirms that Bill Spencer is Luna’s biological father — a revelation that shakes the entire family to its core. Luna’s eyes fill with tears, but they are not of relief. She whispers that this truth was “never meant to come out like this.” Bill, overwhelmed by a mix of shock and guilt, takes a step toward her, reaching out. But Luna flinches back, her face pale and fearful.

RJ, feeling betrayed and confused, demands to know if Luna’s entire relationship with him was built on lies. He shouts that she used him to hide the truth, to manipulate the Forresters. Luna, panicking, insists she loved him — that none of it was fake. Her voice breaks as she pleads for him to understand, but RJ is too hurt to listen.

The confrontation escalates as Poppy steps in, urging everyone to calm down. But Li, furious and protective of her family’s name, lashes out, accusing both Luna and Poppy of deceit and selfishness. “You’ve brought shame and chaos to everyone who ever cared about you!” she cries. Luna’s breathing becomes erratic; the weight of guilt, rejection, and humiliation presses in from every side.

The situation explodes when Sheila appears at the doorway — uninvited, smug, and armed with new ammunition. She taunts Luna, suggesting that maybe the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” The jab cuts deep. Sheila smirks, saying Luna has her father’s blood — “cold, ruthless, and destructive.” The others shout for Sheila to leave, but Luna’s anger overtakes her. She lunges forward, tears streaming, shouting for Sheila to stop.

RJ tries to restrain her, but Luna breaks free. She reaches into her bag and pulls out a small gun — one she’d kept for protection after recent threats. Gasps fill the room. The moment stretches in unbearable silence as Luna points the weapon at Sheila, hands shaking violently. Bill steps in front of Sheila, trying to reason with Luna, his voice trembling: “You’re not this person. Please, put it down.”

But Luna is no longer reasoning; she’s spiraling. Years of secrets, rejection, and shame twist inside her mind. She yells that nobody understands what it’s like to live under constant judgment. “You all think I’m the problem,” she cries, “but I’m just the result of everyone else’s lies!”

Then, chaos. Sheila sneers something cruel — a final taunt — and Luna’s finger tightens involuntarily on the trigger. A deafening bang echoes through the room. Sheila stumbles backward, clutching her shoulder as blood stains her blouse. Screams fill the air. RJ rushes toward Luna to grab the gun, but in the struggle, it fires again.

This time, the bullet finds another target — Poppy. She gasps, her eyes wide with shock as she collapses into Bill’s arms. “No, no, no!” Luna screams, dropping the gun as she falls to her knees beside her mother. The entire room descends into panic. Ridge shouts for someone to call 911, while Brooke and Li rush to help.

Bill holds Poppy tightly, his face pale and desperate. “Stay with me,” he begs, his voice cracking. Luna sobs uncontrollably, her hands covered in her mother’s blood, whispering, “I didn’t mean to… I didn’t mean to.” The once-proud and guarded Luna is now a broken figure, lost in horror at what she’s done.

The sirens arrive quickly, flashing red and blue against the dark Malibu cliffs. Paramedics rush in, tending to Sheila first — her wound is serious but not fatal. Poppy’s condition, however, is far more critical. As they lift her onto the stretcher, she weakly turns her head toward Luna. “You have to… forgive yourself,” she whispers, before slipping into unconsciousness.

As the ambulance drives away, the family stands in stunned silence. Sheila, smirking through her pain, mutters, “Like mother, like daughter,” earning a furious glare from Li. Ridge and Brooke stand close together, shaken by the violence that has shattered yet another day in their family’s long, painful history.

Bill, trembling, can barely process what’s happened. His newfound daughter has just shot two women — one of them her own mother. RJ is left speechless, torn between heartbreak and disbelief. The girl he loved is now handcuffed, being led away by police officers as she sobs that she “didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”

At the episode’s end, Luna sits alone in an interrogation room, her face streaked with tears and shock. A detective gently places a glass of water before her, but she doesn’t touch it. She whispers, “I just wanted to tell the truth… and now she’s gone.” The camera lingers on her trembling hands before cutting to black.

Back at the hospital, doctors work frantically to save Poppy. Bill waits outside the operating room, his eyes hollow, knowing that everything he’s ever loved now hangs in the balance. In a nearby hallway, Li breaks down for the first time, realizing that despite all her anger, she still loves Luna — and that she may have lost her niece forever.

The episode closes with Ridge and Brooke watching the news coverage of the shooting on television. Brooke quietly says, “The truth always comes out, but never without a price.” Ridge nods solemnly, staring out the window as the Los Angeles skyline flickers in the distance.
