The Luna Shocker: A Death Disguised?

It was just days ago that Dr. Lee Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) grimly declared Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) dead following surgery. The announcement sent shockwaves through LA’s elite—especially since Luna vanished without a trace after being wheeled out of the OR, and not a single soul laid eyes on her body. Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) pressed Lee for a memorial service, only to be met with a chilling response: “It’s already been dealt with.” When Sheila begged to say her final goodbye to Luna, Lee flatly refused, arousing suspicions.

But the tangled web doesn’t end there. Rumors swirl that Luna’s supposed death was staged. Whispered words hint that Lee had her own reasons to hide Luna—maybe to protect her, or maybe for something more sinister. Across the ocean, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) makes a life-changing discovery when, during a trip through the shadowy corners of Italy, she spots Luna—alive. Is Luna being hidden from a bigger threat, or is she a pawn in a family game with deadly stakes?

Brooke’s Perilous Italian Adventure

Meanwhile, Forester Creations brings the family to Italy for a much-hyped fashion show. Brooke finds herself surrounded by Eric (John McCook), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and the ever-watchful Nick Marone (Jack Wagner). But what starts as a glamorous trip quickly takes a dramatic turn.

Following the event, Brooke decides to spend time with Nick, prompting jealousy and scheming behind the scenes. Ridge organizes a boat trip, and in a twist, Brooke ends up boarding Ridge’s yacht instead of Nick’s (who is desperately trying to rent his own boat in a seaside panic). As the yachts cut swathes through the glittering Mediterranean, Brooke’s fate takes a shocking turn—she tumbles overboard, leaving both Nick and Ridge in a hero’s race against time. Who will save her—and win her heart?

Electra’s Modeling Dilemma & LA’s New Turmoil

Back in Los Angeles, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) pushes girlfriend Electra Forester (Lenia Grace) to pursue a modeling career at Forrester. But Electra is haunted by her traumatic past with Remy Price (Christian Weissman), who once manipulated her into a photo scandal. Will she find the courage to step in front of the camera again, or will her fears derail her new dream?

Steffy’s Maternity Exit and Marital Meltdown

As Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) prepares to exit LA for maternity leave, her marriage to Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) teeters on the edge. The loss of Luna has driven a wedge between them—Steffy’s callousness about “the girl who shot Liam” sends Finn over the brink. The final straw? Steffy tries to stop Finn from even attending Luna’s “funeral.” As she leaves town, Finn faces temptation and loneliness. Will he reach out to Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) for comfort… or turn to his troubled mother, Sheila?

Plot Bombshells and Scandalous Secrets

As the week spirals:

Finn begins to suspect Lee faked Luna’s death, and Sheila might have the answers.
Dr. Grace Buckingham’s (Cassandra Creech) million-dollar “miracle” cure for Liam (Scott Clifton) comes under scrutiny—was the diagnosis a scam? Did Liam fake cancer to manipulate Steffy away from Finn?
Bridget and Finn’s investigation into Liam’s medical miracle reveals criminal deceit that could bring down multiple families.
Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) stands up for her sister Brooke, confronting Taylor (Rebecca Budig) about sabotaging true love. Old rivalries burst back to life.

As August approaches, Ridge is poised for a romantic epiphany, but will Brooke finally see she’s too good for waffling Ridge? Or will Nick Marone’s persistence—and daring Mediterranean rescue—win the day?

Hidden in the backstreets of Italy is a truth so dark it may destroy reputations, marriages, and lives. And when Brooke returns—if she returns—nothing will be the same.
