In the upcoming episode of *The Bold and the Beautiful*, airing on Friday, August 16,

2024, tensions

rise as Katie continues to be consumed by doubts about Luna’s true paternity. While Bill

Spencer has

fully embraced Luna as his daughter, Katie can’t shake the feeling that something is off. Despite the fact

that the initial paternity test, handled by Lea, was supposed to be conclusive, Katie isn’t convinced. Her suspicion is that Poppy, whom she views as a master manipulator, might have tampered with the results to tilt things in her favor.

Katie is relentless in her pursuit of the truth, pushing Bill to agree to a second paternity test. Although Bill is hesitant, not wanting to put Luna through more emotional turmoil, Katie’s determination eventually sways him. Bill decides to approach Luna about the possibility of another test, knowing that she too might want to finally uncover the truth. Luna has held onto the belief that Bill is her father, but recent discoveries—such as finding a mysterious bag and letters in Poppy’s old apartment—have left her questioning everything.

Meanwhile, Lea is set to have a pivotal conversation with Poppy in this episode. Whether this takes place while Poppy is still behind bars or after a possible release orchestrated by Bill, one thing is certain: secrets are about to be exposed. Lea may drop a bombshell, potentially revealing that the first DNA test was indeed tampered with, casting doubt on Bill’s paternity. If this is true, it could turn Luna’s world upside down and leave Poppy scrambling to regain control.

Lea’s reasons for any deception are deeply rooted in her fear of what it would mean if Luna’s biological father were someone who could bring shame to the family. There’s speculation that Jack, known for his past indiscretions, could be the real father, which would be a devastating revelation. If Lea confesses that she manipulated the test results to protect the family from this truth, it could lead to a shocking confrontation.

As the episode unfolds, viewers will be left wondering whether Bill has been kept in the dark about Luna’s true parentage all along and how the fallout will impact everyone involved. This episode promises to be a game-changer, with emotions running high and the potential for explosive revelations that could alter the course of many lives in the *Bold and the Beautiful* universe.
