Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Shock

Hope, Brooke and Thorne continue their conversation at FC.

Brooke: Never?

Hope: Isn't it a bit too extreme?

Thorne: Macy is confused! 

Brooke: Okay... That's why Deacon isn't contacting her now... But he eventually will and we shouldn't do anything to stop him. 

Thorne: Well I will stop him.

Hope: She's his wife Thorne... He has a legal right and he doesn't do anything now out of respect and because he cares for her and wants her to get better... Not because he can't... 

Thorne: He lost his legal right when he went to jail.

Brooke: Now that is a bit unfair... We all made mistakes... Deacon really loved Macy.

Thorne: He already forgot about her... That's the truth. 

Hope: Thorne, you are Macy's ex husband... My dad is her current husband. Yes.. He will stay away... For now, but eventually he will contact her and Macy will be the one to decide if she wants or doesn't want him in her life. 

Thorne looks worried. 

Next scene: Deacon and Liam are at home. Liam is hiding his laptop and preparing for work.

Deacon: So... You are heading to work?

Liam: Yep.

Deacon: You gave Beth to a babysitter when... I am here? It's a waste of money... 

Liam: Deacon, will all the respect... Did you ever care for a baby?

Deacon: Not full time...

Liam: Then trust me... It's better that Amelia has her. 

Deacon: I just can't get over how beautiful and talented this little girl is... You saw the painting she drew this morning? Amazing!

Liam: Yeah... I don't exactly know what she draw, but it looks more or less like a cow.

Deacon: Really? I thought it's a dog... Hey, I really appreciate that you let me crash here. I wasn't the best person... I complicated your life quite a bit, but... I will make it up to you. 

Liam: You don't have to do anything... Just... Just don't scheme or lie and that will be more than enough.

Deacon: I love Hope and Beth... I hope you know that. I am grateful for the good husband and father that you are to them. 

Liam: I am trying my best. 

Deacon: I can see that... You know... There was a time when I was at my best... And it was when Macy was my wife... Actually she still is my wife... We were a good couple... 

Liam: I believe you... I don't know what to say... For now it's better to not tell Macy about you... She still didn't process everything.

Deacon: I get it... But I won't pretend to like it. 

Next scene: Steffy and Finn kiss at home.

Steffy: Oh, I wish we could just stay at home and continue...

Finn: Me too... Bu today is actually a very busy day for me.

Steffy: You will check if Macy's results are in?

Finn: That's my priority. I really want to help... I see how passionate your mother is about it.

Steffy: My mom knows what it's like to lose a baby... Macy may still get her baby back. I feel like it would make mom really happy.
