Finn overhears a haunting secret that could change everything about Liam’s recovery — and it might involve one of the most dangerous names in B&B history.

Just when the Forrester and Spencer families begin to breathe again, believing Liam’s miracle recovery marked the end of a long nightmare — a new one begins to take shape. And this time, the threat comes not from the outside, but from within their trusted circle.

Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan stands quietly in the background as celebration fills the hospital corridors. But his eyes aren’t smiling. His instincts — honed by medicine and sharpened by experience — whisper that something’s off. Too off.

The surgery that saved Liam wasn’t supposed to be that simple. It was experimental, uncertain, and far beyond routine. But the woman behind it, Dr. Grace Buckingham, has emerged unscathed, basking in praise. The problem? Finn sees cracks in the surface that no one else is looking for.

He begins to follow her. Not in shadows, but with silent calculation. He watches her hesitation in conversation, the tension in her body, the fear behind her eyes. Something is very wrong.

Then, everything changes in one overheard moment.

Passing Grace’s office, Finn hears voices. He freezes. Grace is pleading — her tone low, trembling. “Please, Ree… I just need more time. I didn’t know you were coming here.”

Ree. The name alone is a thunderclap in Finn’s memory. Reese Buckingham. The disgraced doctor who once stole Hope and Liam’s child. The man who nearly destroyed multiple lives. The same man who should be in prison… but is now in their hospital.

And he’s not just visiting — he’s demanding payment. Reese reminds Grace of their deal: he helped her get reinstated, and now he wants what’s owed. His threats are cold, merciless. “Don’t make me ruin this for you,” he says.

Finn recoils in shock. Grace, the doctor they all trusted with Liam’s life, is entangled in a blackmail scheme with a disgraced criminal. Was the surgery a setup? Was Liam’s life put at risk in a gamble to save Grace’s career?

That night, Finn tells Steffy only part of what he knows. “If this was a scam,” he says, “Liam’s life may still be in danger.” He doesn’t explain further — not yet. He needs proof. He needs clarity. But Steffy senses the storm coming.

As Finn quietly continues to gather evidence, the questions multiply. If Reese manipulated hospital decisions once, what’s stopping him now? Is Grace just a desperate woman paying off a mistake — or is she part of a larger plan to reestablish her ex-husband’s dark influence?

One truth is certain: Finn is on the verge of exposing something massive. And when it breaks, it won’t just shatter trust — it could bring down the very institution meant to protect lives.

So now we ask:
Is Grace a victim?
Or is she the newest player in Reese’s twisted game?
