The airline in question does not fly from B to C, so it is with a partner airline. But the ticket is essentially from A - B outbound and B - A - C inbound with the carrier operating A - B and B - A and B - C is operated by another carrier. But its one ticket.
If the mysterious airline in question (why are you being coy?) flies from B to C, though, it won't take much of an operational hiccup for them to put you on a B-C nonstop.They'll think they're doing you a favor. You'll need a reason why you want to go via A. (Happened to me once. AA offered me an LHR-BOS non-stop instead of my existing LHR-ORD-BOS routing. I told the LHR Flagship Lounge agent that I wanted the extra miles. They don't put dummies in Flagship Lounges. She got it instantly.)
