Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

The cabin

Steffy see's Ridge at FC. She showed him the designs Sally gave to her the other day.

Steffy: What do you think about those?

Ridge: Sexy, aggressive... Wow. Those are... Something else. In a good way. Sally really outdid herself this time.

Steffy: She didn't do it alone.

Ridge: So who helped her? 

Steffy: Thomas...

Ridge: Thomas? Sally is in contact with Thomas or did they work on it before all the hell happened?

Steffy: She visits him.

Ridge: So what now? He will design for her?

Steffy: They did it together. You have to admit that together they seem more powerful. 

Ridge: I know, but the fashion show will happen soon. It means that once we will have all the designs Thomas would have to be out of the hospital. It's impossible.

Steffy: Is it? Designing with Sally could be the answer. Maybe they will... Get close and he'll forget about Hope. 

Ridge: You know that Sally Spectra is not someone that I would like to see with my son. 

Brooke enters the room.

Brooke: I would say that Sally has a better track record than Thomas at this point. Give her a chance. As long as he is away from Hope we will be fine.

Ridge: You and Hope will be fine, but not my son.

Brooke: As I said... Sally's track record...

Ridge: I don't want to hear it!

Brooke: Just because you don't want to hear it... It doesn't make it untrue. Listen Ridge, you need to face it... Thomas is not too good for Sally. This girl never tried to kill anyone, didn't keep anyone's child away and Thomas liked her a lot in the past... It could happen again. 

Steffy: That's why I said "yes" to Sally's request.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: They will be co-designers for the intimates line. 

Brooke: What?! No! He won't be getting out that fast. 

Steffy: Well you wanted Thomas to have a distraction... There is an opportunity.

Ridge: You just decided without talking to me first?

Steffy: I spoke to grandpa. He said yes... We have the majority of shares. It's decided.

Brooke and Ridge are shocked.

Next scene. Wyatt and Liam talk at Spencer Publications.

Liam: This contract seems very good.

Wyatt: We need to show it Justin first.

Liam: Of course... Wyatt... There is something I want to ask you about.

Wyatt: Yes?

Liam: Are you in contact with aunt Karen?

Wyatt: Yes, but I think you are in contact with her too, right?

Liam: Yes, but... Does she seems weird?

Wyatt: Do you think she is weird? 

Liam: Douglas said that she has a private room she didn't allow him to enter and that she was almost always locked in there.

Wyatt: Okay... I see how it sounds concerning. 

Liam: I know... Hope doesn't want Dad to be involved... She wants us to check if Karen is ok.
