6th March - Bring it On
Taylor arrived at Ridge office and asked him to promise her not to do anything and he asked “What the hell did Rick do now?!” Taylor tells Ridge that they have to save Steffy from Rick before she goes in any deeper. Ridge wants to know, deeper than what? Taylor then told Ridge that Rick and Steffy did it. Ridge was angry that his daughter was violate.
Rick entered to his office to find Pam there and when he asked her what she was doing there, Pam told him that Stephanie said she was and that she’s now making crochet purses. Rick then asked her to fetch something from his car saying that she was working there after all.
In the meantime, Brooke and Rick is in Rick’s office discussing the same thing. Brooke insist that Ridge must never find out and Rick insist that he don’t care and that he and Steffy are adults and can live their lives the way they wanted. Brooke is upset that Rick wants to push Ridge and any boundaries that may be there. She tells Rick that if Ridge find out about the affair ..and before Brooke can finish the sentence, Rick says “Bring it on!”. Brooke told Rick that if he loves both Steffy and her, then he should stay away from both Ridge and Steffy.
Brooke walked into Ridge’s office to find Taylor alone that that Ridge had left. Taylor asked Brooke if Rick told her and Brooke realised that she had told Ridge. Brooke is clearly worried as Taylor did not know where Ridge went and asked Taylor to keep Ridge in his office if he comes back while she get Rick to leave the building. Taylor told her to ask Rick to stay out of Steffy’s life.
Owen went to Eric’s office to find Thorne there. Thorne asked him if he was on his way out and Owen said yes and that he was just there to give Eric a thank you card. Thorne said that Rick really burned Owen and he apologised for that and that if Owen ever needed a letter of recommendation to not hesitate to ask him for it. Steffy came in as they were talking badly about Rick. She’s appauled that the two of them were bonding over their hatred for Rick and maintains that Rick is a sweet guy who has done lots for the company. She told them that she and Rick were together. Owen tells her to watch her back and Thorne tells her that if Ricks wants to feel secure than FC is not the place.
Investigations is being carried and Marcus is one of the suspects. The cops while questioning him found matches at his office that he says were for birthday parties to light up candles. Donna is upset and told Marcus not to say another word while she calls their lawyer.
Rick calls Ridge and asked him to meet him at the Sky Lounge. Ridge arrived at the Sky Lounge first and was on the phone with someone discussing Rick’s car. When Jake and Madison come up as well, he asked them to leave and give him some privacy. Rick arrived moments later and said to Ridge that he didn’t come to fight but to talk instead. He told Ridge that he is not using Steffy, that he loves her, the same way she loves him. He told Ridge that Ridge cannot control the situation. Ridge told him to shut up! Jake came back to the Sky Lounge as he has left some paperwork there and find the two of them arguing and leave quietly.
Rick explains that he is really in love with Steffy and that he wants a life with Steffy and asked for Steffy’s hand in marriage . He said that they could have eloped but instead Rick wanted to do it the respectful way and end whatever hostility they have between them. Ridge said they are gonna end it and that Rick would stay away from Steffy. Ridge says he knows what Rick did last night and that he realised that Rick was throwing a curveball but he realised that this is just another con for Rick. He said the would never give them his blessing that it’s over! Rick insist that it’s not and decided to leave. Ridge asked him to leave the moment at that instant and he agreed to let Ridge cooled off.
In the meantime, Jack rushed to Brooke to tell her about Rick and Ridge at the Sky Lounge.
Brooke caught up with Rigde at the Sky Lounge and asked him where Rick was. Ridge looked into the direction of Rick who was heading to his car. Steffy ran into Rick and asked him what happened. He explained a bit and told her he had to leave. As Ridge, Brooke and Steffy looked on, they see Rick’s car explode!
My Take:
Since when did Owen and Thorne became friends? Was it not Thorne who framed Owen and Donna? Ridge was really insistent that Rick left the building immediately. Why?
