Last week on "The Bold and the Beautiful," Maya and Rick asked Nicole for a huge favor—they want her to be their surrogate so they can start a family. Nicole was shocked at the request, and Zende was surprised that she was even considering it. Later, Nicole told Maya that Zende thinks that she being a surrogate could get in the way of their relationship.

Later, Zende urged Nicole to think about this first, saying that she doesn't need to be a surrogate and that Rick and Maya can adopt. But Nicole has made up her mind and told her sister that she would be happy to be their surrogate.

Ridge told everyone at Forrester that Thomas left for Paris, and he told Rick that Thomas can work on the new designs there. Charlotte asked Ridge if Thomas was sent away because of her, but Rick reassured her that it wasn't her fault. But Steffy thought that something was amiss as she demanded that Ridge tell her what her brother did.

Meanwhile, Ivy begged for her old job back at Forrester Creations, but Steffy had something else in mind for her. Instead of giving Ivy her designer job back, she had her modelling the lingerie line, and this amused Billy very much. However, Liam wasn't impressed with this and he thought that Steffy was taking things a little too far.

This week, Liam will make a surprising move as Ivy prepares to model the new lingerie line. Steffy and Ivy will also come to a truce as they try to work together. Meanwhile, Caroline is burdened with her secret, while Nicole and Zende get closer when he helps her with a family problem.
