What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

Will's party continued as the guest of honor, as the guests danced the night away, with Will looking more inebriated by the minute thanks to Luna's purposeful drink mixup. When a co-worker saw Luna handling the 180-proof vodka, she promised she'd put it back in the stock room. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Luna said as she smiled to herself. "It's going to be a special night, Will. For both of us."

A drunk Will only wanted to dance with Electra, but she needed a break. When she walked off to talk with a friend, Will approached Luna at the bar and looked right at her before ordering another drink. All Luna could do was smile. Will was so drunk he didn't even recognize her.

As Luna made Will another drink, Electra, Will, and Zende discussed their masks. "It's very unique. I can spot her in the crowd," Will said of Electra's mask. They then dug into the toe cookies and told a co-worker the story about the owner's wife having only eight toes.

"Sheila, she may be a good waitress, but she's certifiable," Zende said. Electra said it must run in the family, considering that Luna is Sheila's granddaughter. Luna listened in as people talked about how off the rails she was. "Honestly, it's a bit of a relief knowing that nobody has to deal with her ever again," Electra said of Luna's alleged death.

"That's what you think," Luna said to herself.

Sheila was shocked when Li told her that Luna was missing. Suddenly, it occurred to her that Luna might have snuck into the party. Maybe Sheila shouldn't have told her Luna granddaughter about the big event. "I'll call you if I hear anything," Sheila told Luna before running to the door.

After Sheila hung up on her, Li wasn't about to give up, so she left to look for Luna. When she returned to her place, she hoped Luna would be back, but she wasn't. "Luna, where the hell did you go?" Li asked.

Back at Sheila's place, when she opened the door, Deacon was there and asked what was wrong. Sheila covered for herself, so Deacon just assumed she was tense and gave his wife a massage. "I think I'm to blame for what I said about Luna. I should have kept my big mouth shut," Deacon said.

Sheila admitted that she had been thinking about Luna. "Sheila, look what she did. She shot Liam. She shot you. Luna wasn't going to reform. She's not like you," Deacon pointed out.

"But she could have been. Luna just needed some support, some time, someone who was there for her," Sheila insisted. "I really wish I could have been that person."

Deacon admitted that he could only ever feel contempt for Luna for killing his two best friends. Sheila hoped that Deacon could have seen what he saw in her. "You have such a warm heart. You gave me respect and love despite all the terrible things I had done. I was just hoping that your feelings toward Luna would soften a bit."

Sheila still felt nervous about the party downstairs and told Deacon she wanted to check what was happening with her own eyes. When Sheila got there, Luna had escaped to the stock room, so Sheila didn't see her. However, a drunk Will approached Sheila and thanked her for such a great party. He then pulled Electra aside to kiss her.

He asked Electra to come back to his place, but Electra wanted their first time to be special. "I want you as much as you want me. Just...not tonight," Electra said as she took off her mask and told Will she was going home. She asked Will to stay and handed him the mask as Luna looked on.

Zende stopped Will from going after Electra, considering how drunk he seemed. Still, Will ordered another drink just as Deacon was informed that Will might have had just a little too much. Deacon approached the bar and tried to convince Will to sleep it off in a room above the restaurant.

When Deacon took Will's shoulder to take him upstairs, Luna put on Electra's mask as her plan began to come together. Once Will was asleep in bed, Luna entered the room in a mask. "Finally, Will, finally," she said to herself.
