BB: Brooke and Ridge clash; arson is investigated; Stephanie blames Rick
Posted on 04. Mar, 2009 by patti in B&B, Daily Update
Wednesday 3/4; Ridge comes downstairs and questions Brooke about two coffee cups on the table. She says Rick stayed the night because the beach house was set on fire. Ridge says, “Obviously, little Ricky wasn’t injured.” Rick comes down and wants to know why Ridge is there. Rick and Ridge go at it; both of them want the other to leave Brooke’s house. Ridge leaves to go to the office and tells Brooke that he wants Rick OUT OF THERE by the time he gets back.
Police Lt. Baker and his son investigate the fire. When Steffy arrives, the Bakers tell Steffy that it looks like arson and ask if Rick has any enemies. (Sorry, I don’t have enough fingers to count Rick’s enemies, LOL.)
Over at Forrester, Stephanie wakes Thorne in his office, when Donna comes in and tells them that the beach house was set on fire – they both ask if Rick died. Marcus and Owen come in and they ask the same thing. Ridge sees Stephanie and tells her that Rick is blaming him, Ridge, for the fire.
Rick starts to tell Brooke about the evening with Steffy, when she comes to the door. Brooke sees the way they react to each other and realizes they made love. Brooke is upset and thinks what they did will put a strain on her marriage to Ridge.
Brooke tells Steffy that this will kill her father; does Steffy want that to happen? Brook tells them to end it NOW and that Rick’s life is in danger.
Lt. Baker calls Brooke and says the fire was premeditated by someone driving by, but they don’t have anything concrete yet and are still investigating.
Stephanie tells Ridge that she wouldn’t doubt it if Rick set the fire himself.
