The Bold and the Beautiful throws a wrench into Poppy’s plans for a happy life. A conversation between Tom and Poppy reveals a shocking secret: Bill isn’t Luna’s biological father. Apparently, Poppy was romantically involved with both Tom and Bill around the time Luna was conceived. Poppy, realizing Luna was Tom’s daughter, chose to lie and claim Bill as the father to secure a better life for herself and Luna. Now, Tom threatens to expose the truth, jeopardizing Poppy’s comfortable life with Bill.
Here’s where things get messy. The DNA test results supposedly proving Bill’s paternity were fabricated by Lee, who harbors a grudge against Poppy. Lee was manipulated by Bill, who intentionally altered the results. While Bill isn’t a bad guy, he clearly worried about the truth coming out. Poppy, on the other hand, seems genuinely unaware that Luna isn’t Bill’s biological daughter.
Bill, however, has known the truth all along. Despite the lack of blood relation, he genuinely cares for Luna and wants her in his life. Poppy’s dream of a happy life with Bill hinges on Luna being his daughter. Bill, understanding this, orchestrated the fake DNA test to ensure their future together.
Now that Bill knows Tom is the real father, the situation gets even more complicated. Bill has legal rights to fight for custody of Luna, jeopardizing the peaceful life Poppy and Bill have built. Bill’s desire for a happy family with Poppy motivates his actions, and he’s willing to resolve the situation, even if it means questionable tactics.
Rumors swirl that Bill might resort to bribing Tom with a large sum of money to leave the country and keep the secret buried. Tom’s history of homelessness suggests such a proposition could be tempting. Will Tom, desperate for a fresh start, abandon his daughter for a chance at wealth? The episode ends with this looming question, leaving viewers to speculate on Tom’s choice and the impact it will have on everyone involved.
