Wyatt and Liam dine at Il Giardino and talk about Bill and Sheila, then Thomas. Liam wonders if Ridge is ready to overrule Steffy's decision to rehire Thomas. Hope asks Brooke if Ridge's return has affected her friendship with Taylor. Brooke vows to steer clear of Ridge and revels in the fact that, unlike herself, Hope has never been attracted to "bad boys". Thomas comes face to face with Ridge for the first time in months. Ridge listens as Thomas promises him that this time he is to be trusted - no more shenanigans or obsessions. Ridge reminds Thomas that he hurt him badly, but then he welcomes him back to Forrester because he can't turn his son down. Later, Hope models Thomas's newest design on a riser. Thomas is happy about the gown and Hope asks him if touching her evoked any feelings in him. Thomas denies this and Hope is relieved because, as she explains, she is not into bad boys. Then, Hope takes a tumble and lands on the sofa on top of Thomas. And just then Liam enters the room.
