Rick (Jacob Young) has appeared to continue spiraling more and more out of control on The Bold and the Beautiful, but finally, someone is ready to fight back against him without fear of retaliation.

Rick Lashes Out After Learning About Caroline & Ridge's Relationship

Liam (Scott Clifton) has been witnessing how Rick's behavior have affected not only his cousin, Caroline (Linsey Godfrey), but his girlfriend Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer)as well, and after hearing Rick raise his voice loudly and fire Caroline from Forrester because she was back with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), he had enough and stormed into Rick's office and shoved him to the floor.

Now, he will continue to stick up for the people he loves and defend their honor against their new CEO and his manipulative acts against them.

"You don't get to be a bully just because you're hurt, or just because you can," Liam says to Rick in a preview clip for the Wednesday, Jan. 21 episode.

Rick won't likely take well to having his attitude called out on him however, meaning that even though he can't actually do anything like fire Liam since he isn't a Forrester employee, he can find other ways to mess with his career-including potentially forbidding employees from giving scoops to Spencer Publications, and potentially adding a company policy that forbids employees from dating anyone with the Spencer last name-which would result in both Ridge and Ivy being forced out of Forrester for their relationships.

In the meantime however, while Liam was able to come to their defense, there may be no way to save Caroline's job anymore, as Rick is adamant that he no longer wants her working in the company because of her new relationship-something she appears to be accepting because he is unfortunately the boss of the company.

"Rick's the boss, I mean...there's not much we can do about it," she says in the clip.

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
