Luna’s death was a devastating blow that shook the entire canvas of The Bold and the Beautiful. But as grief set in, subtle cracks began to form—hinting that this tragedy might not be what it seems. In a shocking development during the July 22 episode, Li coldly announced that Luna’s funeral had already happened. But those around her, especially Sheila, sensed something off.

At Il Giardino, a place that has seen many explosive confrontations, Li and Sheila sat in quiet conversation about Luna. Sheila, who surprisingly showed a more reflective side, expressed genuine sorrow about Luna’s passing. Yet it was Li’s demeanor that raised red flags. Her insistence that the funeral had already occurred came with no details, no invitation, and no sense of closure. It was as if she wanted everyone to simply move on—and fast.

Sheila, no stranger to deception herself, wasn’t buying it. Her expression shifted from sympathy to suspicion, especially when Li evaded further questions. For someone so vocal about blaming Poppy for Luna’s troubles, Li’s behavior felt too orchestrated. And the biggest question loomed: Why would a mother rush a funeral without allowing anyone to say goodbye?

Whispers are starting to form among viewers—what if Luna isn’t dead at all? Could Li be covering something up, either to protect someone… or to hide something much darker?

Meanwhile, back at Forrester Creations, emotional undercurrents surged in a different direction. Eric unveiled a nostalgic promotional video showcasing past Italian campaigns. It stirred up old memories between Brooke and Ridge—memories laced with both passion and pain. Brooke’s voice cracked as she remembered how Ridge had chosen Taylor over her during their last time in Italy. Though the moment was bittersweet, it was also a subtle reminder of how much history these two still shared.

But just as the door to the past cracked open, the present made a dramatic entrance. Brooke brought up Nick—her former flame—with a glint in her eye. Ridge’s reaction was swift and cold. He made it clear: Nick wasn’t welcome. Yet Eric, ever the voice of reason, issued Ridge a quiet warning—if he didn’t make a move, he might lose Brooke forever.

Nick wasn’t waiting around for Ridge’s blessing. In the design office, he swept Brooke into a flirty, romantic exchange, painting vivid pictures of their time in Italy. His invitation to sail away together wasn’t just symbolic—it was a real temptation. And for Brooke, the offer came at a time when her heart was tired of waiting.

Later, Brooke confronted Ridge with emotional clarity. She reminded him that he had chosen to move on with Taylor, and in doing so, had given her permission to do the same. She revisited the bitterness of the CEO takeover and all the damage that misunderstanding had caused. But now, she was willing to let it all go—if Ridge was ready to come back to her. This wasn’t a threat. It was a final call.

The choice now lies with Ridge: fight for Brooke, or risk watching her sail away with Nick—literally.

And yet, even with romantic turmoil brewing, the mystery of Luna’s fate casts the longest shadow. If Li is lying—why? And could there be a bigger secret buried beneath Luna’s supposed death?
