The new preview for the week sends a chilling message straight to the heart of every fan: Luna, with eyes burning with a deranged purpose, is seen purchasing a handgun, a single bullet seemingly engraved with Steffy Forrester’s name. Luna is no stranger to darkness; her past is stained with the blood of Tom Starr (Clint Howard) and Hollis (Hollis Chambers), men she dispatched with cold, calculated poison. But wielding a gun, pointing it directly at a living, breathing person, and pulling the trigger – that’s a different kind of evil, a visceral act of violence that requires a direct, unhinged intent.
Luna, though undeniably capable of immense evil, might not be the sharpshooter she imagines herself to be. She is certainly evil enough to want to pull the trigger on her step-mother Steffy, the woman she sees as the ultimate barrier to her imagined bond with Dr. Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan). But the street isn’t a shooting range, and her poisoned past didn’t require the steady hand of a marksman. The stage is set for a catastrophic showdown at the cliff house, a final, desperate act before the week is through. However, ominous whispers from the set suggest that Luna’s murderous plan will go horribly, tragically awry, and an innocent bystander will be caught in the crosshairs.
There’s a chilling irony to this unfolding tragedy. Luna’s path seems destined to mirror the very darkness of her infamous grandmother, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Just a few years ago, Sheila embarked on a similar, desperate mission, intending to eliminate Steffy, only to tragically shoot her own son, Finn, instead. The echoes are undeniable, the haunting specter of history repeating itself, but with a new, equally devastating twist.
Who could possibly step into the path of Luna’s misguided rage? The possibilities are agonizingly real, each one promising a new wave of heartbreak. Finn himself, caught between the woman he loves and the deranged daughter he never wanted, could tragically intervene to protect Steffy, inadvertently taking a bullet meant for his wife. Or, in a twist of fate that would send shockwaves through the fandom, could it be Sheila Carter, Luna’s own grandmother, who finds herself caught in the crossfire? Imagine the sheer, twisted irony if Luna accidentally shoots and kills her own father or grandmother instead of her intended target. It would be a cruel, poetic justice, shattering the lives of everyone involved in a way no one could predict.
And then there’s Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). Liam, who has been grappling with the grim whispers of his own mortality, believing he is going to die, is a wildcard in this deadly game. He wouldn’t hesitate for a second to throw himself in front of a bullet for Steffy, the woman he has loved and protected fiercely through countless trials. His hero complex, coupled with his presumed fatal illness, makes him a prime candidate for a selfless, heartbreaking sacrifice. The thought of Liam, in his final act, taking a bullet for Steffy, would be a gut-wrenching, yet tragically fitting, end to his tumultuous journey.
The tension is unbearable, the air thick with impending doom. Every fan is on the edge of their seat, bracing for the devastating outcome. Who will pay the ultimate price for Luna’s unhinged obsession? Will her target practice prove tragically off, sacrificing an innocent soul in her misguided quest for revenge? Or will the universe itself conspire to deliver a cruel, unexpected twist that leaves everyone reeling?
