>> Luna: Finn. I didn't see you there--you surprised me.
>> Finn: Thought the office would be the best place to catch
you. >> Luna: You're...here to see
me? >> Finn: Well, yeah, I haven't
checked in. Wondering how you are, you know,
what you've been up to. >> Luna: Yeah, you know, I'm
just trying to stay positive, focus on the future. Ha.
>> Finn: Yeah, it must be hard. I know.
There's a lot going on, lots to worry about with your mom being
in jail and all that. >> Luna: Yeah, but you know, um,
it helps to stay busy. But I haven't been in much
lately, so I'm pretty slammed right now.
I have a million things to do. Um, I wish we had more time to
talk, though. >> Finn: You don't have time for
your favorite cousin? You okay?
Did I say something to upset you?
You know, I get it, it's been, um...
it's been pretty crazy lately. I don't know if you heard, but
Steffy's missing. >> Taylor: You're gonna wear a
hole in the floor. >> Ridge: Why don't you come
join me down here? You heard Finn.
Steffy had a doctor's appointment and didn't show up.
>> Taylor: I know! I'm worried too.
They seem more concerned that she hasn't been checking in on
the kids. >> Ridge: It's just not like
her, but... what if she's really missing?
♪♪♪ >> Steffy: [grunts]
Aah! Help me!
[crying] Help me.
♪♪♪
>> Ridge: We've gotta do something.
But what, do we-we call the police?
Is it too early for that? Do we check her passport?
She didn't even take her cell phone with her.
>> Taylor: I know. I know, but can't you also picture her on a
chaise in Ojai saying that we're totally overreacting?
That she needed to get away. She needed to clear her head.
She didn't wanna be found, and what do we do?
We send out a search party. >> Ridge: So you're saying we do
nothing. >> Taylor: No, I'm saying...
let her chastise us. It's better safe than sorry,
right? I'm just so mad at myself.
I should have come sooner. Maybe I could have helped her
process everything with Sheila, this whole fiasco with Hope.
>> Ridge: Come on, that's not-- well, who does it?
Who turns around and kisses somebody else's husband?
>> Taylor: It's the last thing Steffy needed.
But I don't blame Finn. >> Ridge: Well, maybe Steffy
does, and maybe that's why she left.
She needs some time to herself. I get that.
I just...want her to be okay, that's all.
[cage rattling] >> Steffy: Please!
Somebody! Can you hear me?
Please! [crying]
>> Luna: I heard that, uh, Steffy went out of town.
She isn't missing. [chuckles] >> Finn: She...hasn't contacted
me. >> Luna: Wow, uh, she must have
a lot to work through, then. I think it's best if you just be
patient with her. >> Finn: Not try to find her?
>> Luna: I wouldn't. [laughs] >> Finn: Uh, yeah, no, I thought
the same thing too, but, uh, but then I got a call.
Steffy never showed up to a wellness retreat in France.
>> Luna: Wellness retreat? >> Finn: Yeah. She booked a stay
but didn't arrive. When I told her folks, they
thought it was odd too. It's not like her to change
plans without canceling. I was wondering if she maybe
mentioned something, I don't know, wanting to go somewhere
else? Luna.
When was the last time you saw Steffy?
♪♪♪ >> Finn: The last time anyone
saw Steffy was at Bill's, the place Luna has been living.
My gut is telling me that there is a connection, that Luna is
somehow involved in the disappearance of my wife.
Luna's different, Mom. She's changed.
>> Li: What, into a killer? Framed her own mother for two
murders? >> Finn: Okay, I know. I know
how it sounds, but I've been thinking about this, okay?
The paternity test that you ran was proven wrong.
Two men have been murdered. If Aunt Poppy is falsely
accused, who has the most to benefit from this other than
your sister? There's only one other person,
Mom. Luna.
>> Ridge: No, that's it. That's all we know right now.
No, no, that--no, John Finnegan. Dr. John Finnegan.
That's her husband. That's the number I gave you.
[sighs] Okay. That's, uh, that's great.
Thank you. The police are on it.
>> Taylor: How did they sound? >> Ridge: They sound like the
police--they can't do anything right now.
They're not worried about it, so I'm gonna text Baker.
Hey. Come on. We'll be okay.
Come sit. >> Taylor: I just gotta keep
telling myself that getting away isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Yes, Steffy went radio silent... >> Ridge: Well, we've both done
that before too. >> Taylor: I just wish she
hadn't felt the need to leave in the first place.
>> Ridge: [sighs] She didn't give you a clue as to what she
was doing, where she was going? >> Taylor: No. She just asked me
to help Finn with the kids. That's why I didn't worry when
she left--she planned this. She needed to get away.
But to not show up or take her cell phone...
>> Ridge: All right, all right. We'll find her.
Do you remember when she was, what, maybe three, four years
old? Wanted to play hide and seek?
Do you remember that? >> Taylor: Yes, and didn't tell
us. >> Ridge: Yeah.
We found her in the hamper an hour later.
>> Taylor: Yeah. We canvassed the neighborhood.
We called everyone we knew. >> Ridge: Uh-huh. And there she
was, sitting on socks. Unbelievable.
>> Taylor: We should be so lucky.
>> Ridge: You did check the hamper, right?
>> Taylor: It just didn't have to be this way, you know?
That's what makes me so mad. Our daughter is a remarkable
woman. She's driven, she's successful,
she's a devoted wife, she's a loving mother to two beautiful
children. She deserves every happiness.
>> Ridge: It's been rough for her.
And not just this thing with Hope now, but...
Sheila before that, and that whole thing with Thomas, and
it's-it's a lot. >> Taylor: She's persevered.
>> Ridge: She's tough. >> Taylor: Yeah. Our daughter is
strong and resilient. But that's not always easy.
It comes at a cost. That's why she...that's why she
did this--she needed this. She needed to recharge.
>> Ridge: Yes. >> Taylor: Yeah.
>> Ridge: But just in case it was something else...
let's not wait for the police. Do me a favor--call Thomas.
I'm gonna call Thorne and see if they know something.
>> Taylor: [exhales] Where could she be?
>> Steffy: Please, Finn... Finn, I need you.
Please find me. ♪♪♪
>> Finn: Luna. Did you see Steffy before she
left? >> Luna: I don't know what
you're asking. >> Finn: Just asking if you know
where my wife is. >> Luna: Why would I, Finn?
Why would you ask me that? >> Finn: You guys work together.
Thought maybe she might have mentioned something, other
plans, in passing. >> Luna: No.
>> Finn: Okay. I just got a feeling that maybe
you-- >> Luna: Maybe what?
>> Finn: I was just hoping that you might know more than what
you're saying. >> Luna: Sorry.
>> Finn: It feels like I'm grilling you, and it's...
[Luna chuckles] ...all because that phone call
freaked me out. Steffy was upset when she left
and asked for some space, and now I find out about France,
this retreat, her not showing up.
You know, I don't know what to think.
>> Luna: Um... maybe she changed her mind.
>> Finn: Without telling anyone? >> Luna: Well, you said she
asked for space, right? So I would give it to her.
>> Finn: But you can see why I'm worried.
You know? I got kids. And they wanna know where their
mom is. They miss her.
I don't know what to tell them. So, uh...
if you know something or if you can think of some--
>> Luna: I said no. But you know what?
If I hear anything about Steffy, I will make sure to let you
know. >> Finn: Promise?
>> Luna: Promise. But I-I really have to get going now, so...
>> Finn: Yeah. You got a million things to do, right?

wanna hold you up. >> Luna: Thanks.

sweetie, that's what we thought too.
I didn't mean to worry you, but we had to check.

Thomas? >> Taylor: He hasn't heard from
Steffy. Obviously, he's concerned now.
Sounds like Thorne... >> Ridge: Yeah. He checked out
security at International. She didn't-she didn't come by
there. >> Taylor: Ohh.
I hate this. >> Ridge: I texted Finn.
He's gonna check credit cards and, uh, Carter's gonna do the
same with the corporate cards. >> Taylor: Yeah. That's a good
idea. What do we tell the kids?
>> Ridge: Nothing until we know something.
>> Taylor: Well, I mean, in the meantime, they've been asking
for their mom. I mean, Steffy's always in
contact with them when she leaves town.
I'm doing the best I can, but this is what has me so
concerned--she could just go off the grid, she can leave, but she
would never just not check in with her kids.
>> Ridge: All right, let's keep something in mind.
This is Steffy, the toughest kid on the block.
>> Taylor: Yeah. I just missed her so much,
Ridge. Being apart from all of you has
just been really hard. More than you know.
