So far, The Bold and the Beautiful has let Luna kill Tom, Hollis and logic, wig out Bill with her amorous overtures, drug and cage Steffy, put Zende through hell and reveal that R.J. is zzz in bed. And before she’s finally apprehended — and presumably given a waitressing job alongside merry murderess Sheila — Luna is poised to claim yet another victim: her own mother.

No, Luna isn’t going to cause Poppy to OD like she did Tom and Hollis. It’s just that, when all is said and done, the young woman’s reign of terror will have revealed that Poppy is the odd character out. Think about it.

For starters, Poppy’s own daughter cares for her so little that she set about revealing her love of “special mints” in especially disturbing fashion. Then Luna’s murder spree brought to light just how weak Bill’s feelings for Poppy are. (If he loved her, wouldn’t he have hired her the highest-priced attorney this side of Michael Baldwin?) Plus, she’s been behind bars for what, a week, and already, Bill and Katie are practically together again.

So what does that leave for Poppy in L.A.? Li, with whom she has a contentious-at-best relationship? If we were her, we’d probably turn tail and run, writing off our new life among the Spencers as just another casualty of Luna’s mental illness. What we hope Poppy does instead, however, is buckle down and say, “Hey, I’ve gotten by on my own so far, I can I just keep doing it.”

Then Romy Park’s character could apply for a job at Il Giardino, which heaven knows is short some waitstaff. She and Deacon could bond over their having had to be scrappy survivors all their lives. Sheila could get jealous and begin targeting Poppy… just in time for Luna to be sprung from the mental hospital. Feeling guilty about what she did to her mother, Luna could step in and threaten Sheila. “You mess with my mom, you mess with me.”

“Little girl,” Sheila hisses, “you don’t want to play this game with me. I invented this game.”

Unfazed, Luna asks with a scary sincerity, “Who’s playing?”

What do you think? Will Poppy manage to emerge unscathed from her daughter’s descent into madness?
