MISS DYLAN’S CONFESSION ROCKS THE CLIFF HOUSE
The week opens with a tense, nerve-wracking confrontation at Forrester Creations. Miss Dylan stands in front of Will and Electra, trembling, eyes red-rimmed, hands clasped tightly. Electra gives her a small nod of courage — now is the moment.
Miss Dylan admits the truth.
Her voice shakes as she tells them she was the one who ran Luna down the night of the fog. She explains she was driving to the beach house, visibility nearly zero, and Luna appeared out of nowhere. She slams her eyes shut as she recounts that she panicked, fearing no one would believe it was an accident after Luna had kidnapped her weeks earlier. Electra confirms the story for Will, saying she already knew and that Miss Dylan came clean out of guilt.
Will is stunned, silent and staring, his emotions a mix of disbelief, anger, and exhaustion. Miss Dylan begs him to understand she never meant to kill anyone. Will exhales shakily, saying he can’t process it alone — they all need to tell Steffy and Finn.
The three head for the Cliff House. When Steffy opens the door, she instantly senses something is wrong. Finn steps up beside her, still emotionally raw from Luna’s death, still processing grief, guilt, and anger.
When Miss Dylan reveals the truth, Finn’s face drains of color. His voice is barely a whisper at first, but then it bursts out in a roar as he steps toward her — “YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!”
Steffy quickly grabs Finn’s arm, pulling him back. Miss Dylan bursts into tears, insisting she didn’t see Luna, that she had no intention of hurting her, that it was a terrible, tragic accident in the fog.
Steffy is stone-cold stunned. She did not like Luna — Luna had caused chaos, trauma, and destruction in her family — but hearing the full truth still leaves her breathless. Finn’s breathing is erratic, his eyes wet. He calls Luna “his daughter” with a shattering kind of pain.
It takes time, but as the story settles, the initial fury eases. Finn looks at Miss Dylan, exhausted, and says he believes it wasn’t intentional. He won’t forget it — but he won’t ruin her life either. Steffy agrees, saying the entire situation has been dark, traumatic, and they all need to finally move forward.
Miss Dylan breaks down in relief. Electra and Will carefully steer her out as Steffy holds Finn, whispering that they can finally put Luna’s chaos behind them.
BILL PUSHES KATIE TO QUIT FORRESTER
Over at Spencer Publications, Katie waits in Bill’s office, flipping through files, still pale from recent stress and the lingering trauma of almost collapsing in the fog. Bill enters and immediately shifts into protective mode.
He tells her she looks exhausted — worn down by Forrester, by Brooke, by Ridge, by everything that’s been demanded of her since Luna’s scandals broke open. Katie insists she’s fine, but Bill shakes his head.
Bill tells her that she’s always putting Forrester first when she should be putting her family first — him, Will, their future. He adds that he wants her and Will back at Spencer, helping him run the empire again.
Katie tries to joke that Bill just wants more Spencers in the building, but Bill says flatly that he wants to protect her. Working for Ridge and Brooke, he argues, just drags her into drama that destroys her health and happiness.
Katie’s expression softens, conflicted. Bill steps closer and tells her that Spencer Publications is where she truly belongs — not just professionally, but as part of the family legacy.
Katie doesn’t agree. But she doesn’t say no, either.
RIDGE PUSHES ERIC — AND ERIC EXPLODES
At the Forrester mansion, Ridge approaches Eric gently at first, sitting beside him on the couch with a sympathetic but firm tone. Ridge tells Eric he’s been thinking about everything that’s happened — the illnesses, the scares, the pressure — and that it might be time… for Eric to consider stepping back.
Eric stiffens.
Ridge continues, telling him he should retire, travel, enjoy life. Ridge says that if he were Eric’s age, he’d choose peace and vacations instead of fashion deadlines and office stress.
Eric’s face flushes with anger.
He stands abruptly, voice rising, shaking with fury as he snaps that he is not finished — not as a designer, not as a leader, not as a Forrester. He tells Ridge he has no right to decide when his career ends or when he stops being the man he has always been.
Ridge tries to calm him, but Eric cuts him off sharply, shouting that he will retire when he is dead — not a moment sooner.
The room falls silent.
Ridge is stunned. Eric’s voice is hoarse as he tells his son that being a designer isn’t a job — it’s the reason he breathes. And he won’t have Ridge dictate the end of his legacy.
Ridge finally steps back, hands raised in surrender. Eric turns away, furious, emotional, and shaken, leaving the future of Forrester Creations more uncertain than ever.
