Chaos continues to ripple through Los Angeles in the aftermath of the devastating hospital shooting, but the shock doesn’t end there. One moment stands out among the grief and confusion—a revelation so staggering it shifts the entire trajectory of the Forrester world. At the center of it all? Li Finnegan.

Following the traumatic shooting, tension is high as the staff and families of those involved reel from the fallout. But nothing prepares anyone for the chilling announcement made by Li: Luna has died from her injuries. The room goes silent, gasps echoing through the sterile halls. But then something even more disturbing happens—Poppy, Luna’s mother, doesn’t cry. She doesn’t collapse in grief. Instead, she smiles.

“I’m glad she’s gone,” she says, cold and unfeeling. The statement lands like a punch to the gut. Even Steffy, who’s never hidden her disdain for Luna’s erratic behavior, is stunned speechless. Disgust spreads across her face, and her voice trembles as she demands, “What kind of mother says that?”

Everyone is united in their horror, even Ridge and Finn, who share a silent look of disbelief. Poppy’s words cast a dark cloud over the room, and Li stands quietly, her expression unreadable. But under the still surface, something is shifting.

Li has never been warm—especially toward Poppy or Luna. She’s been critical, distant, often harsh. But now, she doesn’t gloat. She doesn’t scold. There’s something almost haunted in her eyes. And then she mutters, almost to herself, “Maybe now we all understand why Luna turned out this way.” Her judgment of Poppy is clear, but so is her remorse.

Unknown to everyone, Lee played a critical role that night. When Luna was wheeled into surgery, it wasn’t Finn or Bridget who operated—it was Li. She insisted on taking charge of Luna’s case personally, raising some quiet concerns, but in the chaos, no one questioned her too closely. After all, Li is a skilled surgeon, and emotions were high.

But now, that decision seems more suspicious than ever. No one but Li saw Luna’s body. No family viewing. No open confirmation. Just a swift declaration: Luna is gone.

Still, Steffy can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. Later that evening, she whispers to Finn, “Did you notice how fast Li ended it all? It felt… off.” Finn, who has known Li longer than anyone, quietly agrees. “It’s like she planned it.”

And she did.

In a dramatic twist, spoilers reveal that Luna is not actually dead. Lee faked her death—meticulously. From falsifying medical records to creating a forged death certificate, she crafted a believable cover story to hide the truth: Luna is alive and being treated in a private facility under a false identity.

Lee’s reasons are complex. She claims she’s trying to save Luna—from the media, from legal consequences, from herself. “This is the only way I can protect her,” she whispers in a flashback, hands trembling as she alters Luna’s file. According to Lee, Luna was mentally unstable, vulnerable, and on the verge of destruction. Her mother, Poppy, had failed her, and now Lee sees this deception as her last chance to rewrite Luna’s fate.

Luna remains in a medically induced coma, hidden from the world. Lee visits her daily, obsessively monitoring her condition. But this isn’t just about care—it’s about control. Lee has taken it upon herself to manage Luna’s future, believing she alone can rehabilitate her into someone new.

Yet there’s a darkness underneath this plan. If anyone finds out what Li has done—if someone uncovers the truth about Luna’s faked death—it could destroy her. Her medical license would be stripped, her reputation ruined, and possibly worse, she could face criminal charges. It’s a gamble, one she’s willing to make in secret.

But secrets like this never stay buried forever.

Already, Steffy is digging deeper, her instincts sharpened by years of Forrester drama. And now, another looming threat enters the picture—Sheila Carter. Always on the lookout for leverage, Sheila senses the inconsistencies around Luna’s “death.” She starts asking questions, and that’s dangerous.

If Sheila uncovers the truth, there’s no telling what she’ll do. Blackmail? Exposure? Or will she offer to help Lee—only to twist the situation for her own gain?

The web of lies is tightening, and it’s only a matter of time before the truth begins to unravel.

As the pressure mounts, Li makes a quiet decision: it’s time to disappear. In upcoming episodes, viewers will be shocked when Li abruptly resigns from the hospital and quietly begins preparations to leave Los Angeles—for good. But she won’t be going alone.

That’s right—she plans to take Luna with her. A medical transport is arranged under a fake name, and Luna’s hidden facility is dismantled piece by piece. There’s no goodbye, no explanation. Just a silent escape in the dead of night.

The question now is: where are they going? And will anyone catch them before they vanish completely?

Is Li a savior trying to undo the damage of a broken childhood, or is she simply manipulating the situation to control everyone once again?

As the truth edges closer to the surface and suspicions grow, the next few episodes promise explosive confrontations, painful betrayals, and shocking truths. Who will uncover Li’s biggest lie yet? And what will happen if Luna wakes up… and decides she doesn’t want to stay hidden?

Stay tuned—because in The Bold and the Beautiful, no secret stays buried forever.
