At Il Giardino, Liam and Bill concluded a meeting with Tracy, who said they'd ensure that there weren't any unwanted surprises. Bill hinted that some unexpected surprises could be the best part of life. Tracy looked to Liam, and he grinned uneasily as he saw her out.
Liam returned to Bill and asked, "What was that?" Liam told Bill to wait until they were out of meetings to talk. "About what?" Bill asked. Liam said it was about Luna. Liam wondered if the euphoria had subsided and Bill had gained perspective about Poppy giving him a daughter.
Bill recalled that the test results had rendered him speechless. Bill flashed back to hearing Luna read the paternity test results. Bill said that other than crushing the competition and making tons of money, his greatest joy was his kids.
Liam was happy for Bill, who was captivated by Poppy as well as Luna. Bill remarked that Poppy was something else, and Liam asserted that she'd better be if one night from years back still ignited a spark. Bill said it was more; it was as if they were frozen in time. He looked at Poppy and could see the same woman who'd left him breathless at the festival. Poppy hadn't just given him memories; she'd given him a daughter.
Liam asked if Bill had spoken to the other woman in town who'd given him a child. Bill, who'd been wrapped up in Luna and Poppy, hadn't had a chance to talk to Katie. Liam gave Bill a long look, and Bill dismissively said he'd talk to her.
At Bill's house, Poppy beamed about Bill embracing her and Luna and welcoming them into his home. Poppy recognized that Katie was an important part of Bill's life and said it would mean a lot if Katie could give Poppy and Luna her blessing. Katie replied that she didn't know Poppy, but Luna had done well at Forrester and had made an impression on Katie's nephew. Katie added that she and Bill hadn't had a chance to discuss it, and it affected Will's life, too.
Luna said she was still trying to process it, too. She couldn't believe she had brothers. She assumed it would be awkward at first, but in time, things would be okay. R.J. sent Luna a text message, and she decided to take off to meet him.
Alone with Poppy, Katie said Poppy had a lovely daughter. Poppy noted that it was a lot to take in, but Bill wasn't home at that moment. Poppy offered to tell him that Katie had stopped by. Katie asked if Poppy was telling her to leave. Poppy claimed she'd never do that because they'd become family. Hoping to be friends, Poppy was sure it would take getting used to that it had once been Katie's home but had become Poppy's.
Poppy looked around and said she had a lot to do there, and the place could use a woman's touch. Poppy said she'd assumed Katie would want to be on her way, since Bill wasn't there. Poppy repeated that she'd let him know Katie had stopped by, "although I'm sure he'll just want to be alone with Luna and me."
Katie was sure Bill, Poppy, and Luna, had a lot to make up for, but for the sake of Katie's son, it was a priority that Katie and Bill talk about it. Poppy agreed but hadn't wanted to get Katie's hopes up that it would happen that day. "Because Bill will be busy with you," Katie noted. Poppy repeated that they had a lot to make up for, and she was eager to do that. Katie said she could imagine that Poppy was.
In the design office, Hope didn't get where Brooke's questions were coming from. Pinpointing that it was the way Hope spoke about Finn, Brooke asked if Hope was developing feelings for Steffy's husband. Brooke stated that she wasn't judging or accusing. Hope said it felt like it. Brooke asked again if Hope had feelings for Finn. "You want the truth, Mom? Yes, I am starting to care more about Finn," Hope revealed, and Brooke gasped in shock.
Hope asked how she could "not" care about the kind, compassionate friend who wanted the best for people, even when it was difficult. Hope wondered what man had such capacity for forgiveness. To her, it made sense that he was an amazing doctor. She said he'd even helped her, and Brooke asked if Hope had become his patient. Hope flashed back to Finn massaging her hand earlier that day. "Hope!" Brooke yelled, and Hope snapped out of her reverie.
Hope explained that she wasn't officially seeing Finn as a patient. Brooke asked if Hope was sick. Hope said she'd been getting migraines, and Brooke asked if Finn had prescribed her something. "Let's just say that Finn has healing hands," Hope hinted. Brooke gasped again.
Brooke asked how Hope knew that and was appalled to hear that Finn had massaged Hope. Hope said it had been pressure point therapy, and his hand had given her "such relief." It had been amazing. "Oh, my God..." Brooke replied. Hope claimed they were just good friends, and she didn't want to see him bossed around by Steffy.
Brooke told her daughter that Finn and Steffy's relationship was their business. Hope complained that Steffy was undervaluing him and didn't understand him. "And you do?" Brooke pointedly asked. Hope decided that she did. She said he confided in her, and they were like two kindred spirits. Brooke grabbed Hope's shoulders and said it was Steffy's husband. Hope claimed she wasn't going after him -- but he was one of the best men she'd ever met.
In Eric's office, Steffy insisted that Hope was toxic and delusional about Sheila. Finn didn't think Hope felt the ways Steffy thought Hope did about Sheila, and he added that Hope had been kind to him. Steffy told him to trust his wife, who was more experienced with Hope than he was.
Finn loved Steffy's concern and agreed that he didn't know the Logans like she did. Steffy thanked him for that. He assured her that there was nothing to worry about with him and Hope. Steffy said Hope didn't worry Steffy; Hope annoyed her by passing judgment on Steffy's feelings about Sheila. Finn said Hope was trying to help, but Steffy quipped that Hope couldn't help herself. With Douglas and Thomas gone, HFTF sinking, and Deacon marrying a psychopath, Steffy doubted there was enough on Hope's plate for Finn.
Finn chuckled, and Steffy asked if he thought she was being insecure or jealous. He didn't think that. She admitted that she was uncomfortable with him hanging around Hope, whose behavior was suspect. Steffy noted that Hope had used Thomas to cope with her divorce and had started advocating for a relationship between Finn and Sheila. Steffy said Hope was lost, and when she was lost, she was reckless.
Steffy stated that Hope had no self-awareness, and after losing Liam, Thomas, and Douglas, Hope didn't want to lose her dad. Finn said it was why Hope had accepted Sheila. Steffy said Hope's beliefs swayed like the wind. Finn reasoned that it was a reason to help Hope, not criticize her. He said Hope might need their help.
Finn confided that Hope had opened up to him. Steffy asked what Hope had said. He replied that Steffy was basically right in what she'd just said about Hope's loss. Finn stated that the problems between Steffy and Hope hadn't originated with them; they had started with Brooke, Stephanie, and Taylor, and they had started before Hope and Steffy had been born.
Finn asked if Kelly and Beth were next. Steffy denied it. Finn reasoned that it could be, and that was why he lobbied for peace and harmony. They were one big family and had a lot to be grateful for. He assured Steffy that Hope was not influencing him. Steffy nodded, and they hugged.
