Bold and the Beautiful has Dr. Li Finnegan announcing the death of Luna Nozawa, once she was done fighting so hard to save her life on the CBS soap. But it makes you wonder if Li followed through with her duty as a doctor, only to have her protective mother role kick in and end Luna’s life in the recovery room.

Did Li do her ethical duty as a doctor and then decide to eliminate the danger for her son’s family? Or is something else going on behind the scenes with Li Finnegan?

The Bold and the Beautiful: What Is Li Finnegan Up To?

Bold and the Beautiful threw out a few hints about Li Finnegan‘s (Naomi Matsuda) mindset over Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), even before this triple shooting took place. She talked with Finn about Luna’s upbringing.

Both this mother and son carried some guilt for not being there for Luna. So, while Li despised Luna for what she had done, a part of her felt sorry for her. This was a change for Li, who didn’t seem to care for Luna at all after her horrendous deeds.

Then, once Li had Luna on the operating table, she used the term “Nozawa Power” to seemingly bring her back to life. Okay, it was likely a coincidence, but she said it, and Luna seemed to respond by breathing again.

It was as if, in that moment, Li finally recognized Luna as part of her family, after seemingly disowning her. Still, it is what went on in the recovery room that starts another Bold and Beautiful mystery.

B&B: Li Alone With Luna Nozawa

The last thing Bold and the Beautiful viewers got to see of Luna Nozawa is when Li Finnegan insisted on staying alone with her in the recovery room. Li sent Dr. Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) away, saying she could handle Luna’s recovery process alone.

Then we learn that Luna is dead. Li comes out to the waiting area and announces that Luna passed away in the recovery room. But depending on which way Bold and the Beautiful goes with this, Luna could still be alive.

Remember when Finn was pronounced dead a while back on B&B? Li orchestrated an elaborate ploy to nurse him back from the dead. Is Li up to her old tricks again?

Bold and the Beautiful: Li Kills Luna—Or Another Fake Death?

Bold and the Beautiful has done away with Luna’s character for now, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see her again. Li once went to great lengths to keep Finn alive after he was pronounced dead.

She rented an apartment and turned it into something resembling a hospital facility. She finagled a transport of her son (who was given a death certificate) to that room. Li then secretly nursed him back to life, without anyone knowing. So, after Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) shot Finn, Li secretly brought him back to life.

Now, after confessing to Finn that she felt sorry for Luna Nozawa, you have to wonder if Li whisked Luna away in the same fashion as she did a seemingly dead Finn.

Maybe Li has plans of locking Luna up and keeping her away from Finn and his family until she can rehabilitate her. Or, did she see a chance in that recovery room and kill her newfound granddaughter to save her son’s family from a life of danger?

B&B: Killing Luna… Or Not?

Li Finnegan finagled it so she was alone in the recovery room with Luna on The Bold and the Beautiful. Li never once faltered as a doctor; she did everything she could to keep Luna alive. But as Finn’s mother, she may have seen the opportunity to rid him of a life of grief and end Luna’s life.

It seems awfully fishy that Li emptied the recovery room by saying she would stay with her niece, and then Luna is dead. She died despite the operation being a success. So, there are a few ways B&B could go with Luna Nozawa’s demise. She could have killed her or even possibly faked a death.

But it could just be that Luna Nozawa really did die of complications in the recovery room, like Li Finnegan reported on the CBS soap.
