Steffy Forrester's Homecoming Shakes Things Up

Guess who’s back, back again? Our fierce Forrester queen, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), is finally home in Los Angeles! She arrives with adorable kids Kelly (Sophia Paras McKinlay) and Hayes (Bryan David Garlick), ready for a sweet reunion with Finn (Tanner Novlan). And honestly, who wouldn't be over the moon to see them run into Finn's arms? Steffy even says, "They're so happy to see you," which is just too cute.
But hold on a second, because that happiness is about to get a major reality check. Finn's got a shocking secret he's been dreading to share, and it’s going to rock Steffy's world. Prepare for a classic soap opera reveal as Finn has to blurt out the unbelievable: Luna isn't just alive... she's pregnant!
"This is going to be a shock," Finn starts, and when Steffy asks, "What is it?" his reply, "Luna's alive," will leave her gasping, "Oh my God!" It's a lot for anyone to process, especially after Steffy thought she was finally free of Luna’s drama.
Luna Nozawa's Prison Plight and Poppy's Cold Truth

While Steffy is reeling from the news, Luna (Lisa Yamada) is still locked up, facing the consequences of her actions. She might be hoping her pregnancy with Will Spencer's baby will be her golden ticket out, but her own mother, Poppy (Romy Park), isn't having any of it. Poppy pays Luna a visit in prison, and she’s not there for a warm, fuzzy chat.
Poppy herself just found out her daughter, who once framed her for murder, is not only alive but also expecting a Spencer heir. So yeah, she's not thrilled. She lays down the law for Luna, making it crystal clear that Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) won't be bailing her out this time around. Ouch!
In fact, Poppy delivers quite the line to her daughter:
"You got knocked up by a billionaire’s son. Well played!"
— Poppy Nozawa to Luna
It seems Luna's cunning plan to secure a future might have backfired spectacularly. Bill, Katie (Heather Tom), and Will (Crew Morrow) are already strategizing for a custody battle over the unborn baby, determined to keep it out of Luna's hands. They are convinced Luna orchestrated the pregnancy on purpose, and with Electra (Laneya Grace) being the one who called the police after the paternity reveal, Luna is deep in a hole.
Forrester Creations Gets a Fresh, Familiar Face

Away from the prison drama, there's some buzz happening at Forrester Creations! A new designer named Deke (Harrison Cone) is making waves. Turns out, Deke is Hope Logan's (Annika Noelle) brother, a detail that was a surprise reveal! He's been pretty sneaky, slipping his portfolio into the stack of submissions for the "Hope For the Future" line anonymously. But his talent clearly shines through, because Hope and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) were both impressed, leading to him being offered the job.
Things get a little complicated as Deke starts to get close to Electra Forrester. This is causing some serious jitters for Deke's boyfriend, Remy Pryce, who's worried Electra might spill some secrets about his past stalking behavior to Deke. This new dynamic could lead to a whole lot of interesting twists in the fashion house!
Deacon's Marital Mayhem and Hope's Romantic Crossroads
Poor Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) is still trying to pick up the pieces of his marriage after Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) kept things from him. He loves her, but trust is a huge issue. He's found himself in therapy sessions with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), discussing his marital woes. Of course, Sheila isn't one to sit idly by, and she’s been caught spying on their sessions, even showing up to warn Taylor not to interfere!
Meanwhile, Deacon is also playing Cupid for his daughter, Hope. He’s urging her to open her heart back up to Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) with a clear message:
"Open your heart up to Liam. Don’t let him get away again."
— Deacon Sharpe to Hope
It looks like Hope is taking his advice to heart, as she'll be busy trying to rebuild her family with Liam and their daughter, Beth. This leaves Carlton Walton leaning on Daphne Rose for support after his breakup with Hope. Looks like there’s plenty of love (and heartbreak) to go around in LA this week!
It's shaping up to be a week packed with drama, difficult conversations, and unexpected turns for everyone in Genoa City. Make sure you're tuned in!
