Thomas urges Steffy to forget about Liam and assures her she'll find a better guy to be with, one who is not in love with another woman. Steffy vows to fight for Liam but then admits she already knows of a guy who is interested in her, someone who kissed her too. Thomas is curious until he hears she's talking about Rick. Noticing his reaction, she points out this is how everyone will react but then stops talking as she remembers the peck on the cheek he gave her. Brooke is not happy to hear of Rick's plan to turn Steffy away from Liam so that Hope can be with the man she loves. But when she spots Steffy return to the office, Brooke suddenly barks she will not support his interest in Steffy because she knows Ridge would never be in favor of it. Steffy enters and as Brooke leaves, she smiles at Rick and flashes a "thumbs up" to him. Later, Rick surprises Steffy with champagne for their first lingerie photo shoot. When she removes her robe, Rick quietly admits he can understand why Liam was attracted to her. She's pleased to hear this but reminds him she's still married to him. Rick claims he doesn't want to see Liam with either her or Hope. He goes on to suggest Liam's made a terrible decision when it comes to women and thinks he's better off with Hope since Steffy deserves better. Showing her the annulment papers, Rick urges her to sign them so she can be with a real man, not a boy like Liam. Crying, Steffy takes his pen and signs them, asking him to file the papers immediately. Hope introduces the winner of an essay contest and her mother to Liam and boasts of their engagement. After Beverly brings the winner Forrester goodies and escorts the two out of the office, Hope admits to Liam she's glad she talked with the essay winner because she reminded her of her message. Brooke interrupts and leaks that Rick is trying to help them move along the divorce. Rick bursts into the office and shows them the signed annulment papers. Hope lets out a squeal and tells Liam they can get married now.
