A quiet baptism turned into a crime scene at the Spencer estate when Luna Nozawa suddenly collapsed, having been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. Shockingly, the man at the center of the investigation was none other than Will Spencer, who became the prime suspect.

The Slow-Acting Poison Plot

Minutes before the baptism ceremony was set to begin, Luna Nazawa collapsed, struggling for breath. Two days later, a toxicology report confirmed she was poisoned with Digitalis, a toxin that had been built up subtly through micro-doses over several days. The killer had calculated for her heart to give out quietly, but the timing was miscalculated.

Will Spencer Falsely Accused

Suspicion immediately fell on Will Spencer for two reasons:

1. The Contaminated Water Bottle: Will was the last person seen handing Luna a bottle of water, and the bottle was confirmed to contain traces of Digitalis.
2. Secret Footage: Whispers that Luna and Will had secretly reconnected and shared a kiss in the garage led everyone to believe Will committed the crime to cover up the scandal, especially since he refused to speak with the police.

The Horrifying Truth About Finn’s Mother

However, the truth was more complex: the one who poisoned Luna was Lee Finnegan, Finn’s mother.

Internal footage showed Lee sneaking into the prep room and tampering with the water tray 20 minutes before Will grabbed the bottle. Lee, who believed Luna had ruined her career and family, sought revenge by slowly poisoning Luna, wanting her eliminated without a public scandal.

Lee’s setup caused Will to inadvertently become the suspect, and Lee used the ensuing chaos to conceal her crime.

Luna Dies, Will Goes to Trial

Luna Nazawa died, and Will Spencer was put on trial for the sensational murder. The prosecutor presented damning evidence: footage of Will arguing with Luna and Will’s fingerprint found on the syringe that delivered the final Digitalis dose.

However, defense attorney Carter Walton turned the tables:

• Fabricated Audio: A forensic expert proved the audio recording of the argument was a spliced fabrication from two different moments in time.
• Planted Fingerprint: Will’s print on the syringe was artificially transferred using powdered graphite techniques, proving someone deliberately framed him.

The Contract Killer and a Ghost from the Past

The direct killer was identified as nurse Beverly Tras, a contract killer paid through large offshore deposits, with a recovered text message explicitly stating: “Job done, he’ll take the fall”.

The mastermind behind it all was not Lee, but a ghost from Bill Spencer’s past: Luke Adams, an investor Bill had once ousted. Luke sent a letter to Bill, declaring Will’s suffering was only the first payment in his revenge plan.

Will was declared innocent and walked free, but the Spencer family now faces an unseen threat from the vengeful Luke Adams.
