>> Ridge: Do you really? >> Brooke: Well, I just thought
you and I should go work out in the gym, the company gym.
It'd be fun, right? >> Ridge: There's probably a
nicer way of saying that. What are you--come on, I'm

I've gotta look good. I'm now the face of
Brooke's Bedroom line again. >> Ridge: You do look good.
You look exquisite. That's why everybody wants to

Hey, so look, I've been meaning to get in touch.
>> Liam: Uh, I'm aware of that. I was beginning to suspect you
forgot you have an older brother.
>> Will: If only. >> Liam: Hey, you watch your
tongue, young William. >> Will: It's Will.
And I'll have you know that I haven't been back in town that
long. >> Liam: I know. Dad told me.
I'm just giving you a hard time. >> Will: Some things never
change. >> Liam: Well, they can't
change. It is good to see you in person,
like the actual you, 'cause, you know, the video chats are fine,
but I'll be honest--they make you look fat.
>> Will: Yeah, well, when you're on separate continents, you
gotta make do, right? >> Liam: Don't I know it.
I, uh... Ha.
I heard about your... awkward reentry into LA.

girlfriend in bed together. ♪♪♪
>> Liam: Well, that sounds... [laughs] uncomfortable, to say
the least. >> Will: Yeah, definitely not
how I imagined meeting this new woman in Dad's life.
>> Liam: No, no, no, no. Also, I gotta think Poppy was
pretty mortified. >> Will: Yeah.
You know, she's also nothing like I thought she was gonna be
like. But...it's our old man's life,
right? >> Liam: Yeah, but he's happy.
I don't know what else to say about that.
>> Will: Maybe. But I got my doubts about
Poppy...and our new sister. >> Brooke: Poppy? What about
her? >> Ridge: Was she there with
Luna? >> R.J.: No, she was alone when
I got to the apartment. She was visibly upset, though.
>> Ridge: Upset? Why? >> R.J.: She found something.
Listen, I don't think I should-- I don't know if I should talk
about it with you guys. >> Brooke: If Luna would want
you to, you mean? >> R.J.: This is really shocking
stuff. >> Brooke: What is it, honey?
>> R.J.: She found a backpack. Tom Starr's backpack.
>> Ridge: Tom Starr? What, the homeless guy that overdosed at
the restaurant? That guy?
>> R.J.: It just showed up at Luna and Poppy's apartment.
It was...full of letters that Tom had written to Poppy
over the years... claiming that he's Luna's
biological father? >> Ridge: What?
>> R.J.: Katie has a theory about it.
>> Poppy: I won't let you do this, Katie--poison Bill against
me. >> Katie: Well, you would see it
that way. >> Poppy: No, what I see is a
jealous ex-wife who's constantly invading our lives and causing
trouble--you need to leave. >> Katie: Are you ordering me
out of Bill's house? >> Poppy: No, I'm asking you as
politely as I know how...to go. >> Katie: Not a chance.
Two men are dead because of a mysterious overdose, and you had
a connection to one of them. >> Luna: Katie, please, not this
again. >> Katie: Yes. I'm sorry, Luna.
This again. Your mother had every reason to
want Tom Starr out of her life, out of the way.
That's motive. That's why I'm here.
To warn Bill about Poppy. That he's living with a
murderer. ♪♪♪
>> Liam: Ah. Thank you. >> Will: Thank you.
>> Liam: And I'm sorry, but when you're with me, you're an
honorary patient. So tell me...
what are these doubts you have about Poppy and Luna?
>> Will: They've made pretty quick inroads in Dad's life.
>> Liam: Yeah. I mean, that's not...surprising,
right? I mean, they share a daughter
together. They've got this-this history.
It's kind of a big deal for them.
It's also a big deal for us. I mean, you and me, we're
getting a sister out of this. >> Will: Yeah.
>> Liam: [whining] Yeah. Have you even met Luna?
What do you think of her? >> Will: I don't know.
We barely met. It's too soon to really know.
Though I will say this. When it comes to Dad and his
new--his new family, it's pretty strange.
>> Liam: What's pretty strange? >> Will: That after 20 years,
this woman he spends one night with finally decides to do a
paternity test and hits paydirt practically overnight.
Look, I'm gonna tell you right now, Luna and her mother are
living large at the Spencer estate in what used to be my
home. >> Liam: Yeah, I get it.
But it's still your home, Will. >> Will: I know.
It's just different. Dad's different.
And it's because of the Nozawa women.
>> Ridge: Hang on a second. So-so Katie actually thinks--
>> R.J.: Poppy's responsible for two deaths.
It's just none of us really knew Tom--Tom was a stranger.
But Hollis--maybe there's like a chance that he got dragged
into this? >> Brooke: Well, that's just it.
We don't know what "this" is. >> R.J.: That's the thing.
Katie's theory is that this backpack with these letters in
it--that's the smoking gun. >> Ridge: And it's pointing
right at Poppy? >> R.J.: I don't know.
I don't wanna spread misinformation, but--no.
Those letters are written proof that Tom was pressuring Poppy,
and I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think that Poppy
would have done something to stop him.
>> Brooke: Okay, I just keep going back to the paternity
test. Li wanted to test Bill to prove
that he wasn't the father. But it turns out that he is.
>> Ridge: It's a test. It's not foolproof.
>> Brooke: Okay. That's true. So...
maybe... maybe she felt cornered by Tom.
>> Ridge: And when people feel cornered...
>> R.J.: Sometimes they do the unthinkable.
>> Bill: You've gotta stop this, Katie.
>> Luna: Yeah. You've made accusation about my mom before,
and they're wrong and hurtful. >> Poppy: Whatever your problem
is-- >> Katie: My problem is your
involvement in Tom and Hollis' deaths.
>> Poppy: How many times do I have to say it--I had nothing
to do with their-- >> Katie: You can save the
denials, because the facts speak for themselves.
>> Bill: What facts? >> Katie: Two men died from a
drug overdose from the same drug.
>> Poppy: And that is truly sad and heartbreaking, but it's also
an unfortunate coincidence. >> Katie: Is it a coincidence
that Tom Starr had a backpack full of letters claiming that he
was Luna's real father? Yeah. I talked to Sheila.
She told me that she talked to Hollis on the same day that he
died, and he told her about the backpack, but she didn't listen
to him, so he got rid of it. So two people who knew about
letters that could completely upend your life and Luna's life
with Bill mysteriously die from the same drug.
Two people who would still be alive right now if--
>> Luna: Katie, stop. Both of these were tragic drug
overdoses. They were senseless accidents.
>> Bill: Tom Starr--he did have a history of drug and alcohol
abuse. >> Katie: Yeah, but he had been
clean for a long time, and by all accounts, Hollis never was a
user. >> Poppy: How did you know about
the letters? >> Katie: R.J. told me.
>> Poppy: Did-did you... >> Luna: He was with me, and I
was upset. >> Poppy: And once he found out,
he went straight to his aunt. >> Katie: No, actually, I ran
into him, he was coming from your apartment, and he was
reluctant to say anything to me. He didn't really wanna tell me
about what you confessed to Luna.
>> Bill: Wait, wait, wait. Confessed?
>> Katie: Poppy told Luna that she had seen Tom on the day that
he performed, right before he went onstage.
And that she shouldn't worry because she had, um, taken
things into her own hands. >> Bill: Did you say that?
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
>> Katie: Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
She was trying to protect the life that she had created for
herself and Luna with you. Tom and Hollis were getting in
the way of that, so they had to go.
She sacrificed two lives to keep her secret
and to keep from losing you. ♪♪♪
>> R.J.: I don't necessarily agree with Katie's claims, but I
just can't dismiss them either. >> Brooke: I understand.
>> R.J.: It's just, I know Poppy, I mean...
I don't think she's capable of killing two people just because
one of them claimed that, what, he's Luna's actual biological
father? >> Ridge: It does seem a little
extreme. >> R.J.: It seems very extreme.
And it'd be devastating for Luna...
if it's true. >> Liam: You know [sighs] for
the record, I have asked myself the same question--why didn't
Poppy get a paternity test years ago?
>> Will: You think it's weird too.
>> Liam: Weird? I don't know. Do I think it's weird? Yeah.
Maybe a little bit. But if I knew Poppy better, it'd
be different. >> Will: Oh, but she's still a
mystery to you, huh? Luna as well?
>> Liam: I mean--[sighs] Yes and no.
In some ways yes, because I haven't spent that much time
with them, right? Neither have you, but...
it sure seems like they're good people.
I mean, they're really sweet. Poppy obviously cares a lot
about Dad--at least that's the way it seems to me.
But apparently not to you. ♪♪♪
>> Bill: It's true? You saw Tom Starr the day he died?
>> Poppy: Yes. >> Bill: Why? What'd you say to
him? >> Poppy: I told him that he
wasn't Luna's father. That we did a test proving that
she is your daughter, and I also told him that he had to stop
harassing me and threatening Luna.
>> Katie: That's it? That's all you had to say?
>> Bill: I still don't understand why you didn't come
to me. I have people that could have
handled this. Why did you go alone, in secret?
>> Poppy: I am sorry. In hindsight, I realize I should
have come to you first. >> Katie: But you couldn't know
how Bill would react--he might have sent you packing for
keeping the truth from him. >> Poppy: No! No, Bill, that is
not it--please don't listen to Katie.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
>> Katie: Oh, I think I do. You need to have another
paternity test done to make sure that Luna is actually your
daughter... and that Poppy hasn't been lying
to you and to Luna this whole time.
[knock on door] >> Bill: What now?
>> Katie: I'll get that. Hi. Uh, I called Chief Baker
and told him about the evidence that I had linking Poppy to
Hollis and Tom Starr's deaths. >> Chief Baker: That's why I'm
here--follow up. >> Bill: Follow up how?
>> Chief Baker: Well, based on what Katie gave me, we were able
to get a search warrant for Ms. Nozawa's apartment.
That's where we found this. ♪♪♪
>> Will: You said Poppy's in love with our dad...but is he
in love with her? >> Liam: He sure acts like it.
>> Will: Think he's ever gotten over my mom?
>> Liam: Will, let me tell you something.
Dad will never get over your mom.
And besides, they produced a, uh, not entirely obnoxious child
together, so there's that. >> Will: Well, he's got a
daughter with Poppy now. They're his family now too.
>> Liam: I know. I know that. But if you're worried that Poppy
is somehow gonna use that to... here's the thing.
Dad is one of the shrewdest people in the universe, right?
He didn't get to where he is today by not reading people
exceptionally well, and Poppy and Luna are no
exception to that. >> Will: I hope you're right.
I really do. But I still wonder about them.
Especially Poppy. >> Ridge: Well, I still think
Sheila has something to do with this, even though they released
her. >> Brooke: I don't disagree.
But I do know my sister. Clearly, she thinks Poppy,
if she was desperate enough, would have done something
irrational. >> R.J.: What, killing two
people? That irrational? >> Ridge: Did Katie say what she
was gonna do with this information?
>> R.J.: I'm just worried about Luna and the impact this could
have on her if-if the police get involved...
and they question Poppy. >> Luna: My mom is a good
person--she would never hurt anyone.
>> Chief Baker: I appreciate that.
I also appreciate that's coming from her daughter.
>> Poppy: I didn't do anything wrong.
>> Chief Baker: I didn't come here with a theory, Ms. Nozawa.
I've got evidence. >> Bill: What evidence?
A backpack full of old letters? Poppy told me all about that.
>> Chief Baker: Well, did she also tell you what else was
inside the backpack? Drugs.
[police radio chatter] You recognize this, don't you,
Bill? >> Poppy: I--this is insane.
I have no idea how that backpack got in my apartment, much less
that tin or any drugs. >> Chief Baker: The drugs that
killed Hollis and Starr. >> Katie: The same drugs you
take. >> Chief Baker: Except these are
laced and deadly. >> Poppy: No. No!
Luna, Bill, I don't know anything about these drugs.
I would never--Luna, you have to believe me!
>> Chief Baker: Ms. Nozawa was with Tom Starr right before he
collapsed onstage and died. We have drugs connecting her to
both crimes. We have opportunity, motive,
evidence. We're taking her in.
>> Luna: Oh my god, Mom, did you do this?
>> Poppy: No. No.
>> Luna: Okay, then what about the paternity test?
Is Bill actually my father? >> Poppy: Yes, he really is
your father. Your Aunt Li did the test.
You have to believe me. Please...
I swear I'm innocent. Katie and the police, they don't
know what they're talking about. They're wrong--I had nothing to
do with this! I didn't do anything wrong.
>> Bill: Do what you have to do. I hope that none of this is
true. >> Poppy: It isn't true.
I-I swear, I swear I'm innocent. I swear on my life.
I-I'm innocent. I had nothing to do with this.
>> Chief Baker: Penelope Nozawa, you have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
You have the right to have that attorney present during
questioning.
You understand these rights as I have stated? Let's go.
