them at the jet and escort Ridge and Brooke right to the palace.
>> Hope: Wow...talk about the "royal treatment."
[Carter chuckles] But I mean, that's really no big
surprise. We all know the prince is a big

loved to have seen the prince, but obviously, the whole

be disrespectful, but I-I really don't appreciate you trashing my

against my mom were so uncalled for.

mom might have something to do with the deaths at Il Giardino.
>> R.J.: What? >> Luna: Yeah. And it couldn't
be further from the truth. I mean, Tom and Hollis both died
from tragic, accidental drug overdoses.

You just feel weird about this change in Bill's life.

you out or anything. I'm just saying that Bill tried
to win you back for a really long time, and now he's moving

This all happened way too fast. >> Luna: So that's your real
problem--my mom and me being involved in Bill's life?

If she thought that Bill Spencer was really your dad, why did she
wait years to tell you? >> Luna: She did what she
thought was best at the time. And I'm not gonna hold that
against her, especially because we're so happy now.

to me. >> Luna: Katie, my mom and I
have been on our own for a really long time, and all of
this has been a huge change for us, but it's been an amazing
one. And...
I just-I just want you to know that we're not interlopers,
okay? We're a family. And Bill asked us to move in
with him because...because he loves us, and...

Future being searched online? Is it getting any traction,
getting some social media heat? >> Carter: Historically, your

philanthropic tie-in-- that's doing well.
Those numbers are good. >> Steffy: It's good, but it's
not great. Overall, it's-it's not great.

about? >> R.J.: I shouldn't have told
you about Poppy's mints. That was a mistake.

had something to do with the overdoses at Il Giardino, Katie?
>> Katie: I-I can't say for sure, but you gotta admit,
there's enough evidence to suspect or suggest.
>> R.J.: Suggest? You said you had a feeling?
Why-why are you thinking this? >> Katie: Okay. I did some
digging, and this might not mean anything to you, but Tom Starr
was playing at the music festival the night that Poppy
and Bill met, the night that Luna was supposedly conceived.
>> R.J.: Tom, the guy from-- the first guy who died.
>> Katie: Yeah. He wasn't a big deal back then, but Poppy should
have remembered him. >> R.J.: But she didn't?

never crossed her mind until I brought it up, and then she was
like, oh, yeah, that Tom Starr. Now I remember.

seen play in your entire life? >> Katie: This was the most
magical, important night of her life.
She met Bill, someone she'll never forget, but she doesn't
remember the act that she and Bill saw that night?
