Inside the cold, sterile walls of the state penitentiary, Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) — once the queen of chaos and deceit — has found a new way to turn punishment into opportunity. Isolated, stripped of power, and abandoned by the Spencer family who have finally chosen peace over drama, Luna decides her supposed pregnancy with Will Spencer’s (Finnegan George) child is no longer leverage — it’s a liability.

Staring into the dull reflection of her metal cell door, she whispers, “You all think I’m finished, but I never lose.” It’s not a plea. It’s a promise.

That vow sets the stage for a shocking reunion: Luna’s new cellmate and soon-to-be co-conspirator, Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) — a disgraced former physician imprisoned for her role in a string of medical frauds, including a fake tumor scandal that rocked the Spencer family years earlier.

What follows is not redemption. It’s the birth of an alliance forged in deceit.

A sinister pact: faking tragedy for freedom

Bound by desperation and arrogance, Luna and Grace form an uneasy partnership. Grace listens to Luna’s story — the pregnancy, the betrayal, the rejection — and offers something only she could: a medical illusion convincing enough to fool the system.

The plan is both clinical and cold. Luna will fake a miscarriage, complete with carefully staged symptoms and a smuggled pill to trigger a believable emergency. Once she collapses, guards will rush her to an outside medical facility. There, under the pretext of treatment, she’ll have her chance to disappear — or manipulate her way back into freedom.

“If this works, I’m never coming back here,” Luna hisses, gripping Grace’s wrist. Grace only smiles, whispering, “Just remember who got you out.”

Moments later, Luna delivers the performance of her life. Clutching her stomach, gasping for air, she crumples to the floor. Alarms sound. Guards shout. A stretcher appears. As Luna is wheeled past the bars, Grace’s smile grows colder. The doctor has reclaimed her influence, and the world outside has no idea what’s about to hit it.

Outside the prison: the fallout continues

While Luna plots her escape from behind bars, Los Angeles is unraveling under the weight of its own scandals.

Remy’s wreckage: the deepfake disaster

The exposure of Remy Price’s crimes continues to shake Forrester Creations. Electra Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now stronger and unafraid, finally pulls back the curtain on the deepfake scandal that destroyed her trust. Her revelation leaves Dee (Scott Clifton) shattered, torn between loyalty to a friend and the truth of his best friend’s trauma.

Remy begs for forgiveness, but no one — not Electra, not Will, not Ivy — believes in his redemption. “Walk away,” they urge Dee. But if he can’t, the quiet love story that promised him peace may collapse completely.

Hope’s wedding: a battle for purity

Across town, preparations for Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) wedding move forward under one strict rule — Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is not welcome. Hope’s decision draws a painful line through her family, forcing Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to confront the reality of the woman he married and the daughter he risks losing.

Even so, a brief moment of grace appears when Hope and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) put aside their rivalry to discuss the new fashion line. For once, peace feels possible — but on this show, peace never lasts.

Carter and Daphne: secrets waiting to resurface

Meanwhile, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Ashley Jones) share a fragile calm as they prepare for Hope’s big day. But whispers of Daphne’s mysterious past — and a long-lost sibling rumored to return — suggest another storm is brewing.

The storm ahead

Forgiveness in Los Angeles is a rare currency, and few can afford it. Luna’s medical hoax signals that the darkness viewers thought contained behind prison walls is only beginning to spread.

As Grace and Luna’s unholy pact takes effect, and as the rest of the Forrester and Spencer worlds teeter between love, lies, and loyalty, one truth defines The Bold and the Beautiful: in this city, no secret stays buried — and no villain ever stays locked away for long.
