Thursday on "The Bold and the Beautiful," Julius met Vivienne at an outdoor restaurant. He said that Nicole shouldn't spend another night at the Forrester mansion. They talked about Maya being transgender, and Julius said it's not right and that Maya was influencing Nicole. 

At Forrester Creations, Nicole apologized to Maya for the way she behaved when she first arrived in L.A. They talked about their parents, and Nicole was thinking that their father was upset when their mom went home without her. Maya said that their parents are afraid of what they don't know, and Nicole realized that Maya still needs their acceptance after all these years. Maya thanked her sister for being on her side. Nicole took a call from Vivienne, who asked her to meet them at the restaurant. 

In another office, Katie told Ivy that she had to face facts that Steffy isn't going to give up Liam. If she needed to move on, why not give Wyatt a try? Ivy said that Wyatt has been a good friend and Hope must have been crazy to let him go. Ivy wondered if Katie was trying to play matchmaker, but Katie told her that she just wanted her to be happy. 

Wyatt went to Steffy's office, and she asked him what he's there for. Wyatt asked Liam if he was stringing Ivy along, and Liam told him that though he cares for Ivy, he can't let Steffy go. Frustrated, Wyatt told him to pick a girl already — surely he didn't need both of them? He told Liam to be with Steffy if that's what he wants, but he mustn't get Ivy's hopes up. 

Nicole arrived at the restaurant, and Julius said that she was coming home with them that day. Nicole said that it's not his decision to make and that she's interning and she has just met a great guy. She also told them that she's getting to know her sister all over again. Julius called Maya a freak and told Nicole to accept the fact that she's coming home now. 

On Friday, July 10, Julius refused to acknowledge Maya is female; and Maya talked to Rick about her experience with her parents.

"The Bold and the Beautiful" airs Mondays to Fridays at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
