'Bold and The Beautiful' spoilers: Deacon faces Brooke's temptation, Ridge and Bill become allies

In "The Bold and The Beautiful" last week, the show ended with a huge bomb about Maya's dark secret. It didn't take too long for her sister Nicole to share what this secret is and no one saw it coming. Now, Maya turns her attention on Rick. 

Maya confesses 

One way or another, Rick will find out the truth about who Maya really is. There's no denying that once he learns that she was really a man before, he would go berserk. 

This Monday, Maya changes her decision about Nicole, which surprises Rick. Surely, her decision has something to do with trying to keep her secret longer, especially from the man she loves. 

However, in the preview, Maya tells Rick, "There's something I have to tell you."

Is she going to confess the truth? Perhaps she believes that telling Rick herself would be better than having Nicole spill the beans. 

Brooke and Deacon 

Brooke is one sly woman. She is using her alcohol problems to keep Deacon close to her. Last week, Deacon promised to help her whenever she needs him, and this means going to Alcohol Anonymous meetings to help her. While Quinn is supportive, she has no idea what Brooke has been planning all along. This week, the latter tries to tempt Deacon and he tells her how he really feels. 

Bill and Ridge 

Everyone at Forrester Creations hates Rick, and no one hates him more than Ridge. Now, the latter has found an unlikely ally in Bill and it looks like the two are joining hands to take down Rick once and for all. 

In the preview, Ridge says, "I think daddy's gonna give me that job," to which Bill replies, "If there's still a company. We both know the bubble's about to burst at Forrester." 

Catch this week's episodes of "The Bold and The Beautiful" at 1:30 p.m. every weekday on CBS.
