Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Taylor knew

It's next day in LA. Brooke, Ridge, Taylor and Steffy are at the office. 

Brooke: I wonder why Thomas wanted us all to be here.

Ridge: Probably he just wants to give us some instructions about the wedding party. 

Steffy: I am so ready for that party. My dress waits back at home. 

Taylor looks worried.

Ridge: Doc, you ok? 

Taylor: Uhmm.. Yes. I am just wondering where Thomas is. That's all.

Brooke: Are you sure? I mean you really look worried. 

Taylor: I do? Well... I'm just a concerned mother. 

Ridge: Concerned about what? 

Thomas enters the office looking numb. 

Taylor: Thomas! 

Taylor walks towards him and hugs him. 

Taylor: So? Why did you ask us all to come here?

Next scene: Hope and Liam sit on the couch looking sad. 

Hope: I am devastated about all of this. Douglas... Caroline... They suffer now... 

Liam: Yeah... In a way Thomas had it coming.

Hope: Thomas got help. He got better... Caroline and Douglas suffer now because Rick wanted Caroline for himself.

Liam: Maybe he really wanted to help? 

Hope: I bet that it's only a part of his agenda. 

Liam: When I spoke to Caroline she was so sad...

Hope: God... I really wish this never happened. I spoke to Thomas. He is crushed. 

Liam: It's amazing that you have so much empathy for him after everything he did... 

Hope: The happiness he created with Caroline and Douglas was so therapeutic for him. It's gone now. I am scared when I think about it... What it will do to Thomas and his family...

Liam: You told Brooke?

Hope: No. Thomas asked me not to tell anyone. He is actually telling the truth to my mom, Steffy and his parents right now. 

Next scene: Thomas is still in the office with the rest.

Thomas: I am grateful that all of you came here... 

Steffy: Okay and now tell us why are we here.

Thomas looks at Taylor and puts his hand on her arm.

Thomas: Mom... 

His eyes fill with tears.

Taylor: Oh no...

Ridge: Oh no what? What's going on?

Taylor: It's painfully obvious what's going on. Where is your son Brooke?

Brooke is surprised. 

Brooke: Excuse me?

Ridge: Thomas didn't even say what happened yet.

Thomas: Mom is right. Rick had everything to do with it.

Ridge looks at Brooke.

Next scene: Rick came to the office and met Diana.

Diana: Oh hi...

Rick: Diana, right?

Diana: Yes. I was visiting Steffy and I am waiting in this office for her to be back.
