Rick, wanting to score points with Caroline, reveals that he had his friend Othello, a DJ at a local nightclub, lie to Hope and say that Liam and Steffy were making out the night before his second wedding to Hope. A stunned Caroline tells Rick that everything she heard about him being manipulative and wanting to break up Thomas and Caroline is true, but Rick convinces her that he was only looking out for Hope. Caroline hears her uncle Bill Spencer, Jr. and Katie talking about Bill getting Hope's father Deacon Sharpe out of prison and secretly flying him to Italy to break up Hope and Liam's wedding. Caroline tells Rick, and they agree to talk to Brooke and Bill before they tell Hope the truth. Bill doesn't want Caroline and Rick to reveal anything and thinks Rick is only coming clean about his lies and deception in order to impress Caroline. Rick, with Caroline's support, reveals the truth to Hope, and she immediately is furious at her brother and tells Liam what she has learned. Rick and Thomas face off on the catwalk and the winners, chosen by Eric, are Rick, Hope, and Caroline. Eric then names Rick as the new president of Forrester Creations, making Thomas furious.
