At the Forrester mansion, Ridge, Brooke, and Carter discuss the success of her relaunch. Carter says Zende is off doing a podcast and is getting almost as much attention as Brooke. Across the room, Steffy thanks Finn for coming. He likes spending time with her family. She wishes it was a family event. Nearby, Hope watches them and downs champagne before a model dressed in lingerie brings her another glass.
Across the room, Eric explains to Pam that tonight they’re celebrating the success of Brooke’s Bedroom. Hope walks over to Steffy and Finn and asks if the co-CEO will be saying a few words about her mother’s success. Steffy thinks it’s a little soon for that. Hope decides to do it anyway and calls for everyone’s attention. She lauds the iconic Brooke Logan and offers a toast to her. Everyone shouts, “Cheers!”
At Bill’s place, Luna tells her father they need to do something! Katie thinks they should let the police handle this. Luna exclaims that the cops just arrested her mother for murder… she can’t just sit there! Katie knows she’s shocked, but they must have had some kind of plausible suspicion. If it amounts to nothing, they’ll let her go. “Luna, I’m so sorry, but I really think your mother had motive to kill Tom and Hollis.” Luna asks Bill if he really thinks her mom is capable of killing somebody.
At the Forrester mansion, Brooke tells Carter she hopes they can keep their good luck coming and secure that soundtrack today. Nearby, Pam tells Donna to stop primping in the mirror. Donna fangirls about the rock star, Danny Romalotti, coming to the party. Across the room, Hope walks over to Ridge, Steffy, and Finn and thanks Ridge for putting her mother back in the spotlight. Finn thinks everyone has a lot to be proud of as Forrester is in good hands. Hope smirks and drinks.
A knock comes at the door and Ridge and Brooke answer it to Danny and Christine.
Donna squeaks and looks frozen at the sight of the rock star. When Danny and Christine walk over to greet her and Eric, Donna blurts, “I love you.” Eric explains that his wife is a superfan. Christine congratulates Brooke on the success of her relaunch. Steffy shifts her eyes away from the adulation.
Eric thanks Danny for being there since he’s busy with the tour. Danny says the road is the best it’s ever been, and the best part is that Cricket is with him. Brooke giggles that her sister is thrilled about him coming, and Danny offers her the VIP experience at his next show. They talk about Christine taking Ridge’s case in the past before talk turns back to the profits soaring on Brooke’s Bedroom. Christine gushes that the campaign is incredible and so empowering. Brooke hopes to keep it in the public eye, which is why they’re enlisting Danny’s help. He teases that there’s no bigger celebrity than Brooke right now. Steffy makes a face. Danny poses for photos with the Logans and then with a tickled Donna by herself.
At Bill’s place, he tells Luna they have to let the police do their jobs. He’s sure she’ll be released in a couple of days. Luna wants her mom home right now. She leaves the room, upset. Katie tells Bill she really feels for Luna, but she has to ask, “What do you think about Poppy’s arrest?”
At the Forrester mansion, Christine keeps telling Brooke how fabulous she is, and Danny tells Ridge they’re lucky to have such beautiful muses. Brooke asks Danny if he’s willing to partner with them. They’d like to use his music for the campaign. Danny says it would be an honor, but he has the tour. Christine grabs the paper with Carter’s monetary offer on it and declares that he’ll do it. Ridge calls for everyone’s attention and announces the new partnership. He toasts to Brooke’s Bedroom. Pam whispers to Steffy, “So much for my classy and understated event. The Logans with their wiggling and jiggling… will it ever end?” She complains about models parading around in their underwear in her beloved sister’s home. “Stef, you’re your grandmother’s namesake. You need to do something about this.”
At Bill’s place, he tells Katie he has to protect Luna. He doesn’t want to believe Poppy could be involved. She told him all about Tom Starr. Katie says that she only did that when the walls were closing in. She urges him to question every single thing that woman has ever said to him. Tom Starr was convinced he was Luna’s father. Bill says it wasn’t true. Katie asks, “Are you sure? Maybe Luna’s not your daughter after all.”
At the Forrester mansion, one of the lingerie models tells Pam she needs more Pigs in a Blanket. Pam snarks that she’s the one who needs a blanket. Ridge calls for everyone’s attention and talks some more about how sexy Brooke is, after which, Hope chimes in to say they love to see her front and center again. Steffy tells Finn she has to say something. She steps forward and declares that she doesn’t mean to break up the Brooke Logan lovefest, but the focus should be on her father, who is an incredible designer. She also thanks Carter, Zende, Danny and Christine. It’s wonderful that they’re embarking on such a journey with them. “Finally, I’d like to recognize Brooke Logan. You gave it your all, you really did. Brooke’s Bedroom is a hit, and a big contribution to Forrester Creations.” Brooke thanks Steffy for her kind words. Pam looks pinched. Brooke thanks everyone again and welcomes Danny and Christine to the Forrester Creations family. She thanks Hope and Ridge, the other half of her and the love of her life. Hope raises her champagne glass and starts a Brooke chant. She and Steffy exchange a look.
At Bill’s place, Katie tells him that something strange is going on and he needs to find out what it is, it could be dangerous. He’s brought this woman into his home. “Please, I’m trying so hard to look out for you, and not just because you’re Will’s dad.” Bill sees she still cares about him. Katie says of course she does. If she thinks he’s in danger she won’t stand by and do nothing. “I am scared for you. Truly. Something’s going on and you need to find out what it is. Do another paternity test!”
