Bold and Beautiful Daily Digest

The show started with Brooke pacing around in the living room re-living last night dialogue between her and Ridge and then Rick. Ridge came down and asked her if she was expecting company when he saw three coffee cups on the table. When Brooke told him that it was for Rick, he couldn’t understand why he little Ricky stayed the night. Brooke explained that it was because the beach house was set on fire last night and that someone tried to kill Rick. Ridge didn’t seem surprise or concerned and asked about the property instead of Rick. When Brooke asked him “What about my son?” Ridge answer was “he stayed here last night so obviously little Ricky survived” (LOL). Brooke then told Ridge that the police thinks it was arson and Rick thinks it was Ridge. She then asked where Ridge was last night. Ridge again told her that he did go to the beach house but on seeing that his daughter’s car was not there, he left. He then asked if Brooke believed him. Brooke said yes and apologised. Just then Rick came down the stairs and questioned his mom as to why Ridge was there after what happened last night.

Back at the office, Stephanie found Thorne asleep at Rick’s office with a bottle of drink. She asked him to wake up and that it was already morning and said that she did not blame him for the drinking. Just then Donna came in while talking to Eric, who was in Paris. After hanging up, she told Stephanie and Thorne about the beach house incident. Both Stephanie and Thorne asked, at the same time, “did he die?”. They were later joined by Marcus and Owen who wanted to know if the police had found anything and if Rick survived. They all had this strange look on their face.

The scene was then back at Brooke’s home where both Ridge and Rick was at each other’s throat. Both insisted the other leave while Brooke is at the middle. Rick wanted Ridge to admit that he wanted to kill him while Ridge said someone beat him to it. Ridge said that if he really torched the house would he be stupid enough to say he actually rode out on his motorcycle there last night? He then said he was going to work and told Brooke that he wants Rick out of the house when he returns. Rick then tries to convince his mom that Ridge really is out to get him and wants her to realise it before it’s too late.

Alone with his mom, Donna, Marcus reveals that he still has feelings for Steffy and that he is mad at Rick for taking her away from him. He also says that Rick deserves whatever his getting now. Donna wants Marcus to stop talking like that for fear that he’s gonna end up being a suspect in the fire incident.

Ridge met up with Thorne and Stephanie at the office and when Thorne left, Ridge told Stephanie that Rick thought he started the fire. Stephanie wanted to bet 50 bucks that Rick actually started the fire himself!

Also alone with him mom, Rick again tries to convince Brooke that it was indeed Ridge that wanted him dead. He confided that something signifant happened between him and Steffy last night. Suddenly, Steffy was heard calling out Rick’s name and when when Brooke saw the kisses and concern that Steffy had for Rick, she concluded that they made love last night. Brooke is angry that the two of them had gone on to the next level when in fact she wanted them to end it. Both Rick and Steffy insist that they are grown up and that they should be able to lead their life as they see fit. Brooke asked Steffy if she knows that this would ruin her relationship with her father. She said she does not want that but she is no longer a little girl and it is time for him to let go. Steffy wants Brooke to talk to Ridge again but Brooke refused and asked them to end the relationship once and for all. Rick then told Steffy that her father was actually at the beach house and he suspects that Ridge saw them together, waited for her to leave then set the fire.

Lt Baker who’s at the beach house doing investigation called Brooke and told her that it was a premedidated and that whoever did it had wanted to send Rick a message. Brooke wanted him to let her know should anything else come to light. When Rick asked Brooke whether he told Lt Baker about Ridge joy ride, Steffy told him that her father would never do something like that.

My take:

I agree with Stephanie.. Rick is so sly he may very well have set the fire himself!
