Poppy denies knowing how it ended up there, but Katie worries that if Tom’s story is true, it could destroy her relationship with Bill. Luna confides to RJ that she didn’t want to tell anyone but felt Katie needed to know.

Meanwhile, Liam seeks Bill’s signature for a major deal, but Bill is preoccupied with thoughts of Poppy. He admits to Liam that something about Poppy is troubling him, although he can’t quite put his finger on it. Despite their happiness, Bill senses that Poppy is hiding something and hopes she will eventually open up to him.

Back at Il Giardino, Sheila and Deacon discuss the mysterious deaths of Tom and Hollis.
