The week opens with a heartbreaking confession from Liam Spencer to his father, Bill—he’s dying. The powerful businessman is reduced to tears, grasping his son’s hand, trying to stop time. But death comes, and with it, unimaginable sorrow. Steffy and Hope, bonded by their children and years of romantic rivalry, sit united in agony as Liam fades away. The death announcement from Finn leaves everyone shattered, and Liam’s funeral becomes a town-wide mourning event.
But tragedy has barely settled when chaos follows. Luna, a mysterious and determined woman, claims to be Finn’s daughter. With documents, dates, and undeniable facts, she forces Finn to face a past he never imagined. Steffy, still grieving, instantly sees through Luna’s intentions. The woman isn’t just seeking a family—she’s circling Hayes, Steffy’s son, like a threat. Determined to protect what little she has left, Steffy begins to investigate Luna, discovering clues that hint at a planned and calculated entrance.
Meanwhile, Finn struggles to reconcile his instincts as a doctor with his duties as a father and husband. The balance between Luna’s claims and Steffy’s fears threatens to rip their marriage apart. Luna, relentless, wants her place, her name, her father—but the more she pushes, the more she appears to be an enemy hiding in plain sight.
Across town, Carter is caught in another storm. Still recovering from his heartbreak over Hope, he becomes the target of Daphne, a seductive and strategic woman who wants more than love—she wants legacy. Daphne manipulates her way into Carter’s orbit with late-night talks and accidental meetings. She challenges Hope’s memory, offering herself as Carter’s true partner in both love and ambition. Hope, unwilling to fade into the background, pushes back. The rivalry ignites, turning into a fiery confrontation with Carter squarely in the middle.
But the most chilling development is Bill’s private investigation. Grief-stricken but determined, he begins to dig into the circumstances of Liam’s death. Whispers suggest Luna was near when Liam disappeared. Bill doesn’t go to the police. He waits, watches, and prepares to strike. Luna may have manipulated Finn—but she has no idea what Bill Spencer is capable of when pushed.
As the dust from Liam’s death refuses to settle, the emotional and psychological aftermath erupts into war. From Luna’s dangerous claim to Daphne’s pursuit of power and Bill’s growing suspicions, this is a week where mourning births mayhem—and love, truth, and loyalty are put to the ultimate test.
