An unexpected intruder interrupts Bill and Poppy during an intimate moment. Meanwhile, Ridge and Brooke are preparing to fly out without Steffy. Ridge, frustrated on the Forrester jet, worries they’ll miss their meeting with the prince. Brooke wonders if Steffy has changed her mind about joining them, but Ridge insists she hasn’t and can’t figure out what’s holding her up.

At the inspection, Steffy frantically searches for her missing passport, with items flying everywhere. The pilot, Duce, awkwardly returns her bra that he caught. Unable to find her passport, Steffy calls Ridge on the plane. Ridge instructs her to pass the phone to Duce, who informs them they need to depart soon or risk missing their landing time. Steffy urges her father to leave without her. Meanwhile, Hope clutches Steffy’s passport at Forrester, recalling how she followed Steffy and closed the elevator doors behind her. Hope sighs, thinking aloud that the jet should be taking off without Steffy.

Back at Forrester, Carter walks in and teases Hope about being behind the large desk, assuring her that her secrets are safe with him. As Ridge, Brooke, and Steffy should have already taken off, Hope twitches her lip, noticing the corner of Steffy’s passport sticking out. Carter realizes Hope intended for the trip to be just Ridge and her mother. Hope responds that if Steffy wants to be a third wheel, so be it. Carter understands the trip’s importance and why Steffy would want to go, but Hope explains it’s all about Brooke’s bedroom.

Meanwhile, Bill and Poppy are dealing with their own drama. Poppy confesses to Bill that she had a connection with Tom Star, who could have been Luna’s father. Bill is stunned and struggles to process this revelation. Poppy pleads for understanding, assuring Bill that her heart has always belonged to him. Despite his initial shock, Bill empathizes with Poppy’s fear of Tom Star and promises never to keep secrets from each other again. They embrace, but their moment is interrupted by an intruder at the door.

In Lee’s office, Katie is frustrated, convinced that Poppy is manipulating Bill. Lee, however, insists that while she may not admire her sister, she doesn’t believe she’s capable of such deceit. Katie suspects Poppy’s involvement in past overdoses, but Lee firmly believes Bill is Luna’s father, having administered the paternity test herself.

Back at Bill’s house, Poppy expresses her gratitude for Bill’s kindness and understanding, while Bill reassures her of their importance to him. As they embrace, Ridge and Brooke are en route to Monte Carlo, with Ridge lamenting Steffy’s absence and Brooke looking forward to their time together.
