TV Guide reports that on Thursday’s episode of “B&B,” Eric – without intending to – presents Ridge an opportunity to retaliate against Quinn. Meanwhile, Thomas comes back to work at Forrester Creations and finds it difficult to deal with having her younger sister as his new boss.

The show’s official YouTube channel posted a preview video for the Jan. 12 episode [watch below]. It features multiple scenes with Eric, Quinn, Ridge, Liam and Wyatt.

Eric opens the clip as he reprimands Quinn and Ridge. “You two are family now,” Eric tells them. “You need to start appreciating each other.” Later, Ridge promises to do whatever he has to do to get Quinn in a compromising situation.

Eric, on the other hand, rallies behind Quinn. “I know my wife. I trust her,” he says. “I think that after today, she could prove to the world who she really is.”

Wyatt also figures in the teaser while he’s having another squabble with his brother. “We are still married. I am her husband,” he insists. “Yeah, until the divorce goes final,” Liam argues. Wyatt expresses doubt that it would happen.
