The news that he sent his recently returned son back to Paris has been causing shockwaves throughout Forrester, and now, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) will try to figure out what could have possibly caused Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to send Thomas (Pierson Fode) packing on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Ridge Heartbroken By Caroline's Confession

There was definite tension between the father and son after they had a nasty fight, but Ridge's actions will still seem extreme to the two women as they try to figure out potential other reasons why Thomas was cast off back to Paris-which will lead Steffy to speculate that it has something to do with Thomas' hooking up with one of the Forrester interns.

"Dad caught Charlotte and Thomas together," Steffy says to Brooke in a preview clip for the Thursday, October 15 episode.

Thomas & Steffy Argue

However, when the two consider Ridge's own history when he was younger, which included his own escapades not only with Brooke and Taylor, but several Forrester models as well, they will realize that the issue goes much deeper than that and could be about something else entirely.

"The funny thing about families is you argue about one thing and who knows what else comes up," Steffy says to Brooke in the clip.

What neither woman has yet realized however is that while Thomas' relationship with the intern started the battle, the finishing touch was when Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) revealed to Ridge that she and Thomas had slept together the night she and Ridge broke up-and she was now pregnant with his child. The two are planning to keep the identity of the baby's real father a secret-and part of doing that included sending Thomas out of town so he couldn't eventually do the math and realize the truth.

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
