FINN STARTS DIGGING — AND FINDS A MYSTERY NO ONE EXPECTED
Miss Dylan’s confession — the moment she admitted she was the one who ran Luna down with her car. The shockwaves of that reveal have barely settled, but for Finn, something about her story doesn’t sit right. Her panic, her shame, the fractured way she spoke about her upbringing… it triggers his instincts as both a doctor and a man who has seen what trauma and abandonment can do.
And then there was the other thing he couldn’t shake:
Miss Dylan’s medical chart did not match the age, surgeries, and allergies she told the police she had.
That inconsistency is where the entire episode begins.
He logs into the secure system, pulling up everything connected to her — birth records, intake forms, old test results. But the deeper he looks, the more the details don’t add up. Her original birth documentation had been amended, then amended again. A sealed file sits inside her profile marked “Clerical Investigation — 1993.”
Finn’s jaw tightens.
He remembers that year. He remembers the case study they once referenced in medical training: a massive newborn mix-up caused by a clerical error, so catastrophic the hospital paid a private settlement and buried the incident.
But that case file was described as involving “high-profile parents.”
And now Finn sees the last name on the original admission: Logan.
He scrolls further.
He sees the father’s name: Forrester.
His heart stops.
THE BABY BROOKE & RIDGE BELIEVED THEY LOST… LIVED
Finn keeps piecing it together with the precision of a surgeon and the horror of a man discovering a truth too big to hold alone.
Thirty years ago:
- Brooke Logan delivered a baby.
- The hospital informed her the child didn’t survive.
- The hospital made a devastating mistake.
- The baby survived — but was discharged to another family.
- And the child Brooke and Ridge brought home wasn’t biologically theirs.
The baby who lived?
Miss Dylan.
Hayes’s teacher.
Electra’s friend.
The woman connected to Luna’s accident.
The woman unknowingly living a life built on a lie.
Finn sits back in his chair, stunned.
Everything suddenly makes sense — her emotional instability, her identity struggles, her fixation on forging connections she couldn’t explain.
She had instinctively been orbiting the Forresters without knowing why.
FINN TELLS STEFFY — AND IT SHATTERS HER
Back at the cliff house, Steffy can sense Finn is holding a bomb in his hands. His entire posture is tense, deliberate, shaken. She presses him until he finally breaks and tells her everything.
He explains the clerical error, the swapped babies, the sealed case, the biological markers.
Steffy reacts exactly as a Forrester would:
First disbelief.
Then horror.
Then outrage.
She whispers that Miss Dylan — Luna’s hit-and-run culprit — is actually her sister.
Her mind spins through decades of history:
- The battles between Ridge and Brooke.
- The endless Logans vs. Forresters wars.
- The many babies, miscarriages, and miracles.
- The child Brooke grieved.
- The wound Ridge never spoke about.
And now this.
A missing daughter.
A daughter alive.
A daughter unknowingly living in their orbit.
Steffy is rattled to her core.
RIDGE & BROOKE GET THE NEWS — AND THE WORLD STOPS
The next scenes cut rapidly between locations as Finn takes responsibility for revealing the truth.
Brooke and Ridge sit together as he explains what he found. There is no dramatics from Finn — just quiet, clinical certainty.
Brooke’s face collapses slowly, like she’s reliving the worst day of her life. She remembers the delivery. The grief. The way she blamed herself. The way Ridge held her at the hospital, promising they would survive the heartbreak.
Ridge sits frozen, unable to speak, the weight of fatherhood — lost and rediscovered — overwhelming him.
Brooke keeps repeating “She was alive? She was alive this whole time?” as tears fall.
Ridge closes his eyes tightly. He remembers holding the baby they brought home… and now wonders who that child truly was.
It is decades of history detonating at once.
STEFFY, RIDGE, AND BROOKE CONFRONT WHAT THIS MEANS
Steffy joins them at Forrester Creations, stunned but resolute. She explains the connection Miss Dylan already has to their world:
- Hayes’s teacher
- Friend of Electra
- Intertwined with Luna and RJ
- The woman who confessed to causing Luna’s accident
- Now revealed to be their long-lost blood relative
Brooke breaks, calling it a tragedy, a miracle, and a nightmare all at once. Ridge says nothing at first — his voice is gone. When he finally speaks, it’s just one line:
He wants to see his daughter.
THE FINAL SCENE: MISS DYLAN SITS ALONE — THEN THE DOOR OPENS
The episode closes on Miss Dylan in a dim interrogation room, head in her hands, still shaken from confessing to the hit-and-run.
She whispers that she’s never belonged anywhere. She’s never known where she came from. She’s never felt whole.
The door opens.
We don’t see who walks in.
We only hear the sharp intake of breath from Finn, Ridge, and Brooke — all arriving to face the woman they just discovered is their daughter.
