The Los Angeles courtroom has never held stakes quite like this. What began as an explosive criminal trial quickly evolved into an emotional battlefield, pitting legacy against loyalty, trauma against truth, and compassion against consequence. In the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoiler episode for July 8, Luna Morales stands accused of attempted murder—but the real crime may be the secrets everyone else has been hiding.
Luna, once hailed as a selfless hero after taking a bullet for Steffy Forrester, now finds herself shackled by accusations and public scorn. The courtroom brims with tension as the prosecution paints her as a jealous, armed woman who stormed the Forrester studio in a blind rage. But just as viewers brace for a straightforward trial, defense attorney Maxwell Grant shatters expectations with one bombshell revelation: Luna is pregnant—and the preliminary father is none other than Bill Spencer Jr.
The fallout is immediate. Bill’s stunned reaction—shifting from disbelief to suspicion—sets the tone. Could he have been manipulated? Was this pregnancy a calculated attempt to sink her claws into the Spencer dynasty? The courtroom gasps as whispers flood social media, tabloids, and even the hospital where the next twist is already simmering.
As the paternity bomb explodes, a deeper emotional trial unfolds. Hope Logan, Steffy’s sister-in-law and Luna’s former nemesis, takes the stand—not to condemn, but to defend. She delivers a devastating portrayal of Steffy not as a victim, but as a calculated emotional abuser who drove Luna to the brink. It’s a shocking betrayal that leaves the courtroom in stunned silence—and Steffy visibly rattled.
The trial spirals into chaos as accusations of lab tampering, malicious manipulation, and strategic sabotage are hurled like daggers. For the jury, the question is no longer whether Luna fired the gun—it’s why. Is she a cold-blooded attacker or a broken girl lashed by emotional torment and betrayal?
But the courtroom isn’t the only place where lives are hanging in the balance.
Back at the hospital, the cost of Luna’s actions—or perhaps Bill’s mercy—manifests in flesh and blood. Liam, Bill’s only son, lies gravely wounded after shielding Steffy from a bullet. What doctors discover next is even more horrifying: an inoperable brain tumor. Ironically, the scan that revealed the tumor only happened because of the shooting. And now Bill is consumed with guilt. His decision to champion Luna’s parole may have sealed his son’s fate.
Bill’s raw vulnerability as he crumbles beside Liam’s bedside is a devastating portrait of paternal anguish. His press conference confession, tearfully accepting responsibility for the chaos that has befallen his family, marks one of the most powerful moments in B&B history. For once, the ruthless CEO is stripped bare—haunted by consequences, desperate for redemption.
Meanwhile, Dr. Grace Buckingham finds herself under siege. Whispers of medical misconduct and cyberstalking emerge as someone begins spying on her during Liam’s treatment. Accusations swirl, implicating even her ex-husband Reese Buckingham. Grace’s quiet strength turns to paranoia—has she jeopardized her patient’s recovery?
As the July 8 episode ends, the lines between justice and vengeance blur. Luna’s fate remains uncertain. Bill is left clutching his son’s hand, praying for a miracle. Hope has crossed family lines in defense of truth. And Steffy, wounded and exposed, must face the implications of her own cruelty.
What began as a simple courtroom drama has become a moral reckoning for the entire Spencer and Forrester empires.
