Every empire has a crack. For the Spencers, it came in the form of a Glock 9mm and a single line on a bank transaction. In The Bold and the Beautiful, the drama around Luna Nozawa’s alleged conspiracy was already heating up—but no one expected the bombshell that would shift the entire season: Bill Spencer may have bought the gun that started it all.

What began as a courtroom drama quickly expanded into a full-blown criminal scandal. Dr. Li Finnegan’s quiet suspicions led her to an offshore account, a redacted buyer, and a weapon dealer who caters to clients with something to hide. Her investigation connects the dots: the gun in Luna’s drawer was purchased days before the sting, and the payment? Linked directly to Bill Spencer.

Bill, once seen as the powerful father backing a righteous cause, now faces accusations of arms trafficking, accessory to attempted murder, and conspiracy. What’s worse—he doesn’t deny it. He tells Brooke that it was never meant to be used. It was “just to make her feel safe.” Brooke’s chilling response? “That’s not a defense. That’s delusion.”

With the courtroom already unstable, the revelation of Bill’s involvement hits like a tidal wave. Luna’s legal team calls it what it is: a setup. They argue the gun was a trap, planted with intent to provoke, to make her look unstable, and to corner her emotionally.

Will Spencer is left reeling. Was he ever in control of the sting? Or was he just a puppet in his father’s scheme? His sense of justice begins to unravel, especially after Luna gives a calm, precise testimony revealing how she was gaslit, watched, and emotionally manipulated under the guise of “help.” The words hit hard: “They turned my frustration into evidence. And Bill gave me a weapon just to see what I’d do.”

Outside, the media explodes. Protesters chant. Advertisers vanish. Stocks plummet. Spencer Publications is hemorrhaging from every corner. Brooke demands answers. Ridge demands justice. Steffy demands blood. And Electra disappears, possibly planning a tell-all interview.

In court, Chief Deputy Baker confirms the gun’s origin. The judge has no choice: Bill Spencer is added to the case as a codefendant. The trial, once centered on Luna, now encompasses the fall of a media mogul.

Bill’s lawyers argue the gun was a legal purchase, meant for protection. But the timing, intent, and aftermath all point to something more sinister. And as summer scorches on, the question becomes not if Bill will fall—but how far.

In the final moments, Luna stands stronger than ever. Once painted as a threat, now she’s a survivor. A woman targeted by the powerful and used as a pawn in their chess game of image, profit, and control.

Beside her, an empty chair holds the subpoena for the man who tried to control the story—but may have just written his own tragic ending.

The Bold and the Beautiful isn’t just telling a story about betrayal. It’s telling a story about how power, once unchecked, can become its own weapon. And this time, the bullet might have Bill Spencer’s name on it.
