JANUARY 2024
January 1 to 5, 2024
Thomas proposed marriage to Hope, but she said she couldn't make that type of commitment to anyone. Thomas asked her to wear the ring on a chain close to her heart until she was ready. Finn was shocked to learn from Xander that Thomas might be involved in the death of Emma Barber. Finn consulted Steffy about it and was dismayed when Steffy stood by Thomas. Steffy warned Thomas about Xander's accusation resurfacing, and Thomas overheard Finn warn Hope against being in a relationship with Thomas. Thomas advised Finn not to get between Thomas and Hope. Steffy asserted that Hope was either in or out because Thomas would need someone to lean on if the Xander accusations continued to surface.
January 8 to 12, 2024
Xander visited Finn again and insisted that they put a stop to Thomas, who'd murdered Emma. Finn pushed Steffy to get answers from Thomas, and Thomas revealed to Hope that he'd been on Mulholland and had seen Emma's car go over the guardrail. As R.J. visited Eric in the hospital, Zende sent Luna an anonymous invitation to dinner. Luna assumed it had been from R.J., and when she found out it was Zende, she shut down his advances. Luna informed R.J. of what had occurred, and R.J. called Zende pathetic and ordered him to stay away from Luna. Liam saw the ring around Hope's neck, and Hope said she hadn't accepted Thomas' proposal -- yet.
January 15 to 19, 2024
Wyatt told Bill that Wyatt had decided to take time out and move from the beach house, but Wyatt had at least gotten Bill a new tenant. Sheila and Deacon watched as a date between Bill and Poppy turned the restaurant into a dance hall. Bill took Poppy to the beach house for a long overdue seduction, and after they'd retired to the bedroom, Bill's new tenant, R.J., arrived with Luna. Finn released Eric from the hospital, and Ridge asked if he'd kept Eric from going to the other side as Eric might have wanted. Eric described the blissful love and peace on the other side but said he was happy to be with his family. Thomas told Hope his version of what had happened the night Emma had died. Hope told Thomas that she had to think about things, but when Brooke urged Hope to break it off with Thomas, Hope asked if Brooke could accept the relationship, because one never knew what the future held.
January 22 to 26, 2024
Poppy and Bill sneaked out of the beach house, but Luna spotted Poppy through the windows. Luna was embarrassed that Poppy had happened upon Luna and R.J. kissing but wondered why Poppy had been at the beach house. Li was outraged to learn that Poppy was dating Bill and had slept with him in the past, and Li demanded that Poppy stop seeing him. R.J. did the math involving Bill and Poppy's first encounter and suggested to Luna that Bill might be her father. Luna asked Poppy if it could be true. Eric's loved ones attended to him as he continued to recover. Thomas checked in with Hope, who said she was still sorting through the things he'd told her, but she wouldn't let the past rule her.
January 29 to February 2, 2024
Poppy insisted that Bill was not Luna's father, and when Luna proposed finding out who her father was through tests, Poppy implored her daughter not to do it. Finn was excited to see his Aunt Poppy again and told Luna about the time, a year before Luna had been born, that Poppy had lived with Finn's family. Zende resented the fact that the "Golden Child" had a multi-million-dollar beach house. Luna and R.J. made love. While talking to Ridge, Thomas revealed his marriage proposal to Hope, and Ridge gave it his blessing. Steffy was upset about it when Ridge told her, but he insisted that she let her brother find love. Hope let it slip that Thomas had proposed, and Brooke begged Hope to give the ring back. Again, Thomas asked Hope to marry him, and again, she told him that she needed more time.

FEBRUARY 2024
February 5 to 9, 2024
Finn had better-than-expected news for the Forresters regarding Eric's progress. Seizing the day, Eric decided to throw an impromptu party, and he enlisted Ridge and Carter's help to make the occasion even more special. At the party, Eric surprised Donna with a marriage proposal followed by a pop-up wedding. Bill asked Poppy if he could be Luna's father. Poppy told him that it hadn't been him, and he guessed she really wasn't a gold digger as Li had claimed. Luna inadvertently wound up with some of Poppy's mints, and Luna had some at Eric's party. Zende invited Luna to his place in the guesthouse anytime she was tired of R.J. Disoriented and thirsty, Luna wandered into Zende's guesthouse, and when Zende found her, she hallucinated that he was R.J. and said she'd been waiting for him.
February 12 to 16, 2024
What Zende had thought had been a beautiful night with Luna turned into a disaster when Luna awakened to the realization that she'd spent the night with Zende, not R.J. Luna couldn't understand what had caused the hallucination, and Poppy deduced that it had been a mix of alcohol and too many of Poppy's special mints. Luna accused Poppy of drugging her and wondered what kind of mother Poppy was when Poppy suggested Luna not tell R.J. about it. Zende was beside himself with remorse and told Luna that no one would understand what had happened. R.J. opened up to his family and Liam about Luna and Poppy and was confused when Luna cried upon kissing him. Luna said he needed to know about the night of Eric's party.
February 19 to 20, 2024
Poppy and Zende each blamed the other for what had happened between Zende and Luna. Luna couldn't bring herself to tell R.J. about the night she'd mistaken Zende for R.J. Believing things happened for a reason, Zende asked Luna to leave R.J. and be with Zende; however, she let him down and went to spend the night with R.J. Hope appealed to Deacon to leave Sheila, and he called off his and Sheila's engagement for the time being. Kelly showed up at Il Giardino with friends, and Steffy confronted Sheila about being near Kelly after Steffy had seen Sheila in the background of Kelly's selfie. After Deacon and Finn broke up a brawl between the women, Sheila stalked Steffy at the cliff house, uttering that Steffy would die that night.
February 26 to March 1, 2024
During a power outage at the cliff house, Sheila entered the home and lunged at Steffy. Steffy stabbed Sheila. Steffy told Finn that she'd had no choice, but Finn had an emotional breakdown upon learning that his wife had killed his mother. Ridge raged at Finn for not supporting his wife and expected the police to close the case as self-defense; however, Deputy Chief Baker said it wasn't for him to decide. At Deacon's apartment, Finn broke the news of Sheila's death to Deacon, and as Finn cried alone in the apartment, Hope arrived to see her father but wound up consoling Finn.

MARCH 2024
March 4 to 8, 2024
Hope's talk with Finn enabled him to return to the cliff house, but when Steffy tried to "reconnect" with him in the room where Sheila had been killed, he ran out of the house again. Liam comforted Steffy and warned Finn not to take her for granted or else Liam would be there for her. Hope tried to talk to Steffy about Finn's feelings, but Steffy yelled that Hope didn't know more about the situation than Steffy did. Finn returned home to Steffy but had a nightmare that while Steffy repeatedly stabbed Sheila, Sheila cried out to him for help. Deacon confronted Steffy about killing Sheila and paid his respects to Sheila at the morgue. Luna was still conflicted about telling R.J. about her night with Zende, and Poppy and Zende continued to warn Luna against it.
March 11 to 15, 2024
Luna felt that she couldn't talk to her mother, and she pressed Poppy to reveal who Luna's father was. When Bill encountered Luna, she was sad about her relationship with her mother. Bill and Luna bonded over their desire to know who her father was. Poppy visited Finn about Luna's desire to know her father. As Finn and Steffy struggled to overcome their negative emotions about Sheila's death in their home, Finn's mind conjured up its own version of what had happened that night, and he was plagued with visions of Sheila calling for help. Thomas continued to romance Hope. He designed her a gown and made a grand proposal in the Forrester showing room. Brooke admitted to Ridge that she might be changing her mind about his son.
March 18 to 22, 2024
Hope declared that she loved Thomas but couldn't accept his marriage proposal. Steffy urged her astonished brother to consider his son and sanity and dump Hope. Hope told Brooke that she loved Thomas and wanted the relationship, but she wasn't ready to commit to marriage. Steffy accused Hope of using Thomas like a sex toy and warned Hope that he was done with her. Luna and Bill bonded as they speculated about her father. Poppy asked Finn to step in as a male role model for Luna, but Finn advised Poppy to just be open with Luna about her paternity. Liam worried about how Thomas would take it if Hope turned him down again.
March 25 to 29, 2024
Steffy advised Thomas to find his dignity and be a good role model to his son. She suggested he take Douglas to Paris to heal. Thomas questioned Hope's feelings for him and asked if she'd ever love him the way he loved her. When Hope couldn't answer him, Thomas announced his resignation from HFTF and added that he and Douglas were leaving town. Douglas expressed his disappointment in his parents' failure to get engaged, and he asked Hope not to stop him from going with his father. Hope blamed Steffy for driving a wedge between Hope and Thomas and warned that Steffy would regret it. Brooke and Ridge debated the situation between their children. Luna and Zende discussed the night they'd spent together.

APRIL 2024
April 1 to 5, 2024
Liam and Hope spent time with Beth, who missed them as a family. Glad that Thomas was out of her life, Liam said Hope might meet someone worth saying yes to. Brooke, Katie, and Donna advised Deacon against inviting Hope and Finn to Sheila's memorial at Il Giardino. He did it, anyway, and over protests from their families, Hope and Finn became the sole guests. Steffy grappled with Finn's choice to attend, and Liam said Finn hadn't made her a priority. Lauren and Eric had martinis and remembered Sheila. Deacon watched Sheila's covered body slide into the incinerator at the morgue. The death shroud slipped off her toes. Deacon saw ten toes and screamed as flames engulfed the body.
April 8 to 12, 2024
Finn figured that Deacon's mind was playing tricks on him when Deacon revealed that he'd seen ten toes on the body at the crematorium. As Finn told Steffy about Deacon's beliefs, Ridge ridiculed the grieving Deacon. To prove it wasn't all in his head, Deacon searched for clues about Sheila and stumbled upon ominous text messages to Sheila from someone named Sugar. Hope made Zende the lead designer of her line and asked him to mentor R.J. and Luna. Luna became adamant about telling R.J., and as she began to do so, Zende confided in Carter about what had happened the night of the mints switch.
April 15 to 19, 2024
Deacon remained convinced that he'd seen ten toes in the furnace. He couldn't be deterred when Finn chalked it up to grief. Investigating Sheila's text messages and emails, Deacon discovered threatening messages from someone named Sugar. Steffy ordered Deacon to stop spreading lies about Sheila. When Deacon mentioned Sugar to Lauren, Lauren revealed that Sheila had tricked Sugar into undergoing facial reconstruction to look like Sheila. Deacon became convinced that Sheila was alive. Luna confessed to R.J. what had happened the night of Eric's wedding. R.J. punched Zende and accused him of disrespectful, intentional betrayal. Zende asked R.J. not to blame Luna, but unable to stop envisioning Luna with Zende, R.J. asked Luna for time to process it all. Hope and Liam discussed their common goals.
April 22 to 26, 2024
R.J. and Luna expressed love for each other, and after R.J. confided in his mother, Brooke lent her support to the young couple and offered a safe space for Luna. As Steffy and Hope debated how to cope with Deacon and his delusions about Sheila, Deacon filled Finn in on everything Deacon had learned about Sugar and Sheila from Lauren and Internet searches that corroborated Lauren's story. Deacon discovered charges on one of Sheila's credit cards and enlisted Finn's help in checking out the lead. Behind a store, a homeless man informed them that he'd seen the woman in their photo entering a nearby building, and then the screaming had started.
