He has been working with her mother, Madeline (Donna Reeves) to finally get the remaining family fortune out of Nina's hands, and convinced her to have a quickie marriage with him so he could have easier access to the funds. After he and Madeline took their relationship a step further and slept together, Rick also got a flustered Nina to sign papers making him the one who has control of her fortune if anything were to happen to her.

Now, he will take things further and begin to find ways to make Nina believe she's crazy once again--by capitalizing on how upset she gets everytime she gets near Franco (Roger Howarth)--especially since he has been pretending to date 'Denise'Ava (Maura West).

Using the fact that Nina is still very obviously in love with Franco, despite her denials and her insistence that she can't trust him because he believed her to be responsible of kidnapping Avery once again, Ric will begin to get into her mind and start saying the right things to play with her mental state--with the ultimate goal of her getting to a point where she needs to get committed again--leaving her money vulnerable for both him and Madeline to get there hands on.
