Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

You don't deserve her

It's morning in LA. Ridge and Brooke talk in their bedroom.

Brooke: You look tense. You didn't sleep well?

Ridge: I couldn't sleep. I had Rick on my mind.

Brooke: Ridge... I told you... I spoke to him. So did Katie. He knows what is at stake. 

Ridge looks worried. 

Next scene: Steffy dresses her wedding dress at Forrester Creations and shows it to Thomas and Diana.

Diana: Steffy you look so beautiful.

Thomas: Finn is a lucky guy. 

Steffy: I can't tell you how much I love this dress. 

Diana: Finn will love it too.

Steffy: I'm pretty sure he will love the thing from intimates line I have prepared for our wedding night.

Thomas: Oh please without details!

They all laugh.

Diana: And when are you getting married Thomas? Caroline looks so eager to marry you. 

Thomas: Right after Steffy's wedding we will have a small family gathering... It will be at Bill Spencers house. I will let you know... Oh and one thing. Don't tell anything to Rick, ok?

Next scene: Rick and Hope have a conversation.

Rick: Beth really loves her uncle, right?

Hope smiles. 

Hope: She sure does. 

Rick: All this spending time with her makes me miss Lizzie even more.

Hope: Did you contact Maya? 

Rick: Yeah. She's in Paris with Nicole and Zende... Of course Lizzie is with her. Not me. 

Hope: Look... I know it's a hard time for you, but I am so proud that you don't drink. I know you had problems with it in France.

Rick: I think that I need to be far away from Maya... She triggers this. 

Hope:  Maya loved you so much... I have no idea why this happened. 

Rick: Me neither. I think that I deserve better... Just like Caroline.

Hope: Caroline? 

Rick: I deserve better than Maya... She deserves better than Thomas.

Hope: Don't go there.

Rick: I won't... Mom told me not to. 

Hope: Good. You need to leave them alone... And you forgot why you and Caroline broke up? She cheated on you... So you would give Caroline a pass while you didn't want to give Maya a pass?

Rick: Maya slept with another man, ok?! She had sex with him! 

Hope: I'm sorry... I didn't know the details...

Rick: I'm sorry for yelling at you. 

Hope: Don't apologize. You are clearly traumatized but remember... Caroline Spencer is not the answer... Messing with her family will only break you even more. 

Rick and Hope hug. 

Next scene: Steffy and Ridge talk at FC.

Steffy: So what did Brooke exactly tell her son?

Ridge: I don't know, but she is sure that she has convinced him to not say anything to Caroline.

Steffy: Good... He better listen. I am not playing games with him this time. If he will try to mess with Thomas and his family... I will...
