Will couldn't believe that Luna stood before him in the living room of his new house. Luna exclaimed, "I risked it all, Will. I had to come see you." He asked for clarification on how she got there, but she expressed her commitment to him and a potential future as a family. He wondered how she knew to find him there, and she said she had seen his social media post with Electra. That post drew her attention to the beach house and told her exactly where to find him.

Luna wanted her dream of building a life with Will to become her new reality. She said being around Will centered her, so she had to see him. He reminded her that the prison would come looking for her. Luna refused to listen to reason and told Will she couldn't lose him to Electra. Will vowed to call the police to alert them to her whereabouts, but Luna pleaded for him to hold off. She swore their life together would be better than he could imagine. Luna begged for him to love her, but he insisted that they'd never be a couple. Will said the baby was the only thing they had in common, and he didn't want to hear from her again unless it pertained to the child.

Will asked about the baby, and Luna rubbed her stomach and looked down at it, seemingly hinting that something tragic occurred to her unborn child. She looked up at Will, her eyes swollen with tears, a major mystery hanging over the scene.

At Forrester, Ivy and Electra reviewed some of the jewelry line's designs. Ivy appreciated her niece for dropping everything to return to work. Ivy realized she must have pulled Electra away from Will, and she felt bad, so she asked for an update on them. Ivy worried about how much more Electra could take after everything she had been through, and continued to question whether Electra should pursue a future with Will.

Electra returned to her victim mentality about Will and what happened to him the night of the baby's conception. She admitted that Will apologized for what happened and wondered if she'd be with him in the future. Even though imagining a life with Luna as a coparent felt hard, she believed their love would guide them through it. She felt confident in a future with Will, and she didn't think Luna would interfere in her relationship again. Luna remained safely tucked away in a jail cell, unable to commit any additional heinous atrocities.

Steffy couldn't take her mind off the pain Luna brought into Will and Electra's lives. She hoped they'd be able to overcome the chaos Luna rained down on their family. Finn worried that Steffy felt neglected, but she recognized their connection and said they remained in tune with each other. She asked how he felt about Luna, but he assured her that Luna was out of their lives. Finn promised that his serial murderer daughter couldn't harm her.

Steffy questioned Finn on whether he ever thought about what could've happened if he had raised Luna. He admitted that he had, and that if he'd been able to be present in her life, it might've changed her trajectory. Despite the what-ifs, he had gratitude that she was safely locked behind bars. Steffy knew Luna stayed on Finn's mind, and although this was true, he had no sympathy for her current state of affairs. Steffy opened up about the nightmares she continued to have that stemmed from being kidnapped and caged by Luna. She told him, "I'm always going to hate your daughter, Finn."

Bill continued to praise Katie for her strength as a mother. He encouraged her to ease her tension about Luna because she was jailed for life. Katie ranted about the state of Will's life because of Luna in his orbit. She hated that Luna targeted her son and ruined the direction of his future. Bill promised Katie that together, they'd guide Will through everything he faced because of Luna's crimes. Katie wished the circumstances surrounding her first grandchild were different. Will was taken advantage of and trapped in a nightmare for the rest of his life. She worried that the child would serve as a constant reminder of what happened. Bill recounted all of the horror Luna inflicted on their lives, and he vowed to ensure she suffered in her cell for the rest of her life.

Li and Poppy met at Il Giardino, and Poppy wanted it over quickly. Li accused Poppy of being higher than a kiye and asked her to switch to the iced tea. Li was surprised by how her sister brought Luna into the world. She was disgusted that Poppy latched herself onto Finn and got pregnant. Li fully blamed Luna's mother for the monster that she became. Li wondered if Poppy had visited Luna in prison since the last time, but she confirmed she hadn't.

Poppy struggled with the idea that Luna came from her, which Li understood. Neither thought she was capable of becoming a productive member of society. Poppy felt the same and no longer considered Luna as a daughter, proclaiming that she was dead to her. Deacon dropped by the table and thought she was being too harsh about her new feelings for Luna. Poppy reminded him that her daughter had murdered his two closest friends and revealed she frequently paid her respects to them.

Deacon knew she wasn't sorry for the crimes she committed, and he hated her for it. He didn't believe Luna would hold any remorse for taking out the lives of his friends. Li agreed with Deacon that Luna was coldhearted and wasn't capable of change. They all wished for her to sit in prison for the remainder of her life, so she couldn't target anyone they loved again.
