'The Bold and the Beautiful' spoilers: Julius makes a commitment to Maya, Aly needs advice

Maya talks to her father Julius on The Bold and the Beautiful Instagram/ boldandbeautifulcbs

Last week on "The Bold and the Beautiful," Nicole defied her father and told him that she was not coming home. Julius said that she didn't have a choice and wanted Nicole to be as far away from Maya as possible. He talked about how embarrassing it was for them at church and in their neighborhood to have a transgender child. Nicole said that they should be proud of everything that Maya has accomplished, but Julius said he's not impressed about the mansion or Forrester Creations. He said that he came to save her before it's too late. Nicole said she's happy there and she's not leaving. When Julius called Maya a freak, Vivienne admonished him, and Nicole informed them that Maya is a successful fashion model now. 

After Nicole put her foot down and told them that she really wasn't coming home with them and left, Julius told Vivienne that it's time for them to head home, but Vivienne said that she wanted to see Maya first. 

At Forrester Creations, Maya told Rick that even though it's too late for her to have a relationship with her parents, she didn't want the same thing for Nicole and was thinking that she should still have a relationship with them. Rick wondered if maybe their mother would see how happy Nicole is at Forrester and maybe she'd want to get to know Maya. She reminded him that Vivienne didn't come for her. 

Julius and Vivienne arrived at the Forrester mansion and they saw Maya's portrait. Vivienne said that maybe they could start over and begin reaching out to Maya. When Maya arrived, she asked her parents why they were there, and to her utter shock, Julius said he had to see his little girl and embraced her.
