' The Bold and the Beautiful' Recap (June 5, 2014) Is Quinn Fuller the Devil?

Don't call my mom a "vile, evil, manipulative, bitch!"

Thursday's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful (June 5, 2014) focused on everyone blaming Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) for Ridge's (Thorsten Kaye) possible death.  Who knew that a Selfie had the ability to cause a man to fall out of a Helicopter?  Bill (Don Diamont), Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Katie (Heather Tom), Eric (John McCook), Hope (Kim Matula) and especially Liam (Scott Clifton) all blamed Quinn! If she set a bomb in the mansion, their reaction couldn't be worse.  Bill vowed to find Ridge, and Justin worried that their part in the crash would be revealed.  Bill  wanted to teach Ridge a lesson, he didn't want to kill him. Katie believed that Ridge was a miracle and flashed back to him reading poetry to her. She couldn't remember who she was before Ridge.  She thought that sounded silly.  I thought so too. Ridge is everything that Katie had ever wanted.  If  Brooke knew that, maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty!  Liam's hatred for Quinn is out of control. Sending that selfie of her in bed with Bill to Brooke was the worst thing that could have happened  Ridge was "the pride and joy of the family," Liam declared.  I am sure the other members of the family would appreciate hearing that.  Liam is holding Quinn's "feet to the fire."

Wyatt (Darin Brooks) heard this, knocked Liam out, as Hope walked in clearly traumatized by what she witnessed. Tune in on Friday to see what happens next!
