Bridget Wilson

Bridget Wilson is the villainess of "Beef", episode 1.06 of Lifetime's The Protector.

She was played by Amelia Rose Blaire, who also played Piper Shaw on MTV's Scream and Annie on TNT's Perception.

Bridget was the daughter of Roderick Wilson and the two ran Roderick's food truck, Red Bite & Chew, together. As revealed by Bridget, her father was a gruff man who had made enemies among their rival food truck businesses and that he'd also disapproved of her ex-boyfriend and forbad them from being together.

When Roderick was found dead in his food truck after the interior was set on fire, Bridget (who was away getting supplies) was horrified by her father's death and shocked that none of their neighboring competitors stayed to help. As Gloria questioned Bridget and comforted her regarding her father's death, Bridget stated that her father was her only living family left and that whoever killed him had to pay.

Eventually, detectives Gloria Sheppard and Michelle Dulcett discovered that Tyler McManus (one of Roderick's rival competitors) had been Bridget's past boyfriend, and that he had killed Roderick during an argument where he tried to convince Roderick to let him be with Bridget. Bridget realized that Tyler had to have killed Roderick after seeing that he wasn't there to help during the fire and, as Gloria began to piece everything together, Bridget went to Tyler's hospital room to visit him after he was attacked and burned by Joey Hotlinks, a thug who was attempting to unionize the food trucks.

During the confrontation, Tyler confessed to killing Roderick and tearfully stated that he hadn't intended to do so and that he loved Bridget and never wanted to hurt her. Bridget responded by telling Tyler she loved him as well before turning heel and smothering him to death with a pillow, with a pained expression crossing her face as Tyler struggled for his life. Afterwards, Bridget sat down and waited for Gloria and Michelle to arrive, at which point she freely confessed to killing Tyler, revealing that while she loved him, she felt she had to kill him for what he did to her father. Bridget then stood and calmly allowed Michelle to handcuff and arrest her.
