Taylor Faces Painful Goodbye

The episode opened with Taylor and Ridge in the guest house, sharing one last bittersweet moment. Taylor told Ridge that this time would be different. She wouldn’t beg him to stay or cry herself to sleep. Instead, she wanted to walk away with dignity.

Ridge apologized for the pain he caused her. He admitted that Brooke’s near-death experience in Italy had forced him to confront his feelings. Ridge realized he couldn’t imagine a life without Brooke. Taylor bravely told him that she had always known this day could come. Through tears, she thanked him for their time together and cherished their engagement.

Although heartbroken, Taylor conceded that Brooke was Ridge’s destiny. She promised not to run away and reminded him her home was in Los Angeles. “Just go,” she whispered, urging him to follow his heart.

Brooke Waits for Destiny

Meanwhile, Brooke sat anxiously in the CEO’s office. She feared Ridge was finalizing his wedding plans with Taylor. Katie arrived and urged Brooke to stop obsessing. She reminded her that Ridge could be ending things with Taylor at that very moment.

The sisters recalled the life-changing trip to Italy and Ridge’s promise to make things right. Brooke admitted her worry that Ridge’s sense of duty might outweigh his love. Katie, however, remained optimistic. She believed Ridge would walk through the door and sweep Brooke into his arms.

When Brooke was left alone, she replayed memories of her epic love story with Ridge. Every reunion, every passionate glance, every near-loss. Suddenly, Ridge appeared in the doorway. With a rose in hand, he confessed his love and asked her to marry him. Overcome with joy, Brooke accepted, calling herself his “Logan” once again.

Will and Liam Search for Truth

Elsewhere, Will sat in the design office when Liam walked in. Will confessed he had been receiving strange text messages. Concerned, Liam quickly installed tracking software to trace the source.

As the two men talked, Will mentioned the night he shot Luna. Both assumed she was gone from their lives forever. But the trace revealed otherwise. The mysterious texts were coming from a nearby apartment — one that belonged to Li.

Luna Hides a Secret

Inside Li’s apartment, Luna clutched a pregnancy test. She hid it as Li entered and reminded her to follow the rules if she wanted freedom someday. After Li left, Luna headed to the bathroom, the test still in her hand.

At that same moment, Will knocked on the apartment door. Finding it unlocked, he slipped inside. Clothes lay scattered across the room, and a book on the nightstand hinted at someone living there. Then, Will heard noises from the bathroom.

Suspicious, he demanded answers. Luna, trying to disguise her voice, begged him to leave. But Will pressed harder, threatening to break down the door if she didn’t come out.

Luna Reveals Herself

The tension broke when Luna finally stepped out. Will froze in disbelief. He had pulled the trigger on her, yet here she stood, alive and smiling. “Luna?” he whispered, his voice trembling.

Will staggered backward, stunned, and collapsed onto the bed. His world spun as the shocking truth set in: Luna had never died, and now she was standing before him, ready to turn his life upside down all over again.
