Bold and the Beautiful Alternative Version Season 3

Nick's tears

It's a new day in Los Angeles. Nick is alone at Marone industries when Taylor walks in. 

Nick: Babe...

Taylor: Where is Jack?

Nick: He is at a business meeting now.

Taylor: Good. We need to talk alone. 

Nick: You look nervous. 

Taylor: I wanted to visit you yesterday, but I wanted to think things over first... I found out about the way you and Brooke attacked my son. It was a bad decision Nick... If Brooke convinced you to do this and you listened to her then...

Nick: Don't blame her. We both thought Thomas could have done something.... Because I was framed.

Taylor: I don't want to hear this word anymore. You got caught. Brigitte got caught. Now the two of you are desperately trying to do damage control. Why not blame Thomas?! He committed crimes so everyone will believe he's guilty, right? 

Nick: You have to understand me... 

Taylor: No, I don't! I will never forgive you for accusing my son and allowing Brooke to abuse him! 

Nick is shocked. 

Next scene: Hope is at FC looking at designs when Steffy walks in.

Steffy: Hey, have you seen Carter?

Hope: No. Sorry... I was just here looking at designs. 

Steffy: You know that your line needs this new collection desperately, right? I advice you to talk to your team about it or there will be consequences to pay.

Hope smile.

Hope: Here she is... Steffy, the boss... You didn't care to check on me and my team for weeks Steffy. Now you come here and just tell us to hurry up.

Steffy: I am not here to do your job for you. I'm your boss and I'm telling you to hurry. 

Hope: Sure. 

Steffy: Do you have a problem with me? Is it because Kelly was staying with you and Liam for 2 days? Was it a problem?

Hope: Absolutely not. Kelly is an absolute delight and Beth couldn't be happier to spend more time with her sister. I actually hope it will happen more often... Especially now when you allow Sheila to visit. What is it all about Steffy?

Steffy looks annoyed.

Next scene: Brooke is at home looking sad when someone knocks at the door. When she opens the door it's Rick and Diana.

Brooke: Oh hi! 

Brooke hugs them both.

Brooke: Come inside.

Diana: We apologize in advance for not taking Reggie here, but he was left with the nanny.

Brooke: Oh, it's a shame. I could really use his company.

Rick: We will bring him to you as soon as possible, but today we want to focus on you... How are you mom?

Brooke looks sad.

Next scene: Back to Nick and Taylor.

Nick: Babe, nobody was abusing your son. 

Taylor: I disagree. You emotionally abused my son when you accused him of something he had no part in. Nobody manipulated you... Unless... That was Bridget. Maybe she did... But not Thomas! 

Nick: You talk like you don't know your own son.

Taylor: You are working extra hard to end our marriage, you know that?
