L.A. is reeling as Steffy Forrester makes her explosive return from maternity leave, unleashing a devastating firestorm. No sooner does she step into Forrester Creations than she plunges Luna Nazawa into a nightmare.

Learning that Luna is pregnant, Steffy, driven by her obsession to protect the family legacy, issues a brutal ultimatum: Give the baby up for adoption or surrender it to an orphanage.

The Bitter Truth and Unimaginable Loss

Cornered, Luna reveals the painful truth: Finn is not the father. The biological father is Remy—a man paralyzed by fear of exposing his secret romance with Deacon Sharp and unable to step up.

Unrelenting, Steffy executes her threat. She uses her influence and legal leverage to forcibly place the baby into an orphanage, citing Luna’s instability. For Steffy, it’s a win for “keeping the family name clean”. For Luna, it is pure devastation.

The Desperate Escape and a Plea to the Devil

Incarcerated after a series of prior legal missteps, Luna receives the heartbreaking news that her baby has been taken. Desperation turns into recklessness: Luna stages a breakout from her correctional facility, determined to reclaim her child at any cost.

Under the cover of night, after tracking the orphanage location, Luna realizes the baby is too fragile to be easily taken. Holding her child in a hopeless bind, she has only one final option: a desperate call to Sheila Carter.

Sheila, L.A.’s most hunted enemy, is shocked but agrees to help. She smuggles Luna and the child to a hidden property, providing temporary safety. For once, Sheila appears to have chosen compassion over chaos.

Deacon Manipulated: A Threat to Bring Down Everything

However, the peace is short-lived. Deacon Sharp, Sheila’s lover, quickly becomes suspicious. When confronted, Luna backs him into a corner with an undeniable threat: publicly exposing the “near-miss” between them on a night when she was distraught—a secret potent enough to obliterate Deacon’s newly rebuilt life.

Trapped by the secret, Deacon is forced to become Luna’s silent ally.

But Steffy’s search is relentless. She escalates the hunt, hiring private investigators and pressuring law enforcement. After receiving damning photos of Luna, the baby, Sheila, and Deacon, Steffy smiles coldly. This war is not just about reclaiming control; it is about annihilating anyone who dared to cross her.
