Colleen Confronts Chloe

The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday March 31, 2009:

Michael and Daniel arrive at the scene of the robbery. They talk with Detective Sloan. Daniel helps him with the security video so they can all view it. They see Kevin waving the gun around while Amber stands at the teller. Daniel tells the detective that Amber would never do anything to hurt anyone, and Michael tells the detective that Kevin suffers from psychological issues. He tries to tell the detective that Kevin is not violent, but when the detective doesn't listen, Michael goes off on a tangent about it. The detective threatens to arrest both Michael and Daniel if they continue to impede the investigation.

Gloria and Jana wait at the coffeehouse to hear something. Gloria gets a call from Jeff, who tells her that the bounty hunter will follow the scent of Kevin's blood. Jana freaks out. She is on the computer, and tells Gloria her headaches keep getting worse. She says she has to go to Minnesota and find Kevin, she knows him better than anyone, but Gloria says she's in no condition to drive. Jana agrees to stay at the coffeehouse at first, but then changes her mind and asks Gloria to watch the coffeehouse for her so she can go find Kevin. Gloria agrees to do that much, asking Jana to bring Kevin home safely.

Kevin and Amber hide in a boxcar. He says they need to wait there for his dad. Amber tells him they need to get him a doctor, but Kevin refuses, telling her his dad said no doctors. Amber tells Kevin she needs to go to the pharmacy to get some supplies for his gross and infected leg, but Kevin is convinced she will either run off or turn him in to the police. Kevin insists his dad is coming for them, but Amber says he isn't going to come. Kevin says his dad is probably waiting for them on the other side of the Canadian border, but Amber refuses to help him get to the other side. Kevin threatens her with the closet, but she reminds them there is no closet in there - they are in a boxcar. She tries to remind Kevin how they rescued Katherine and about Clint, but Kevin isn't snapping out of his state. Amber tells Kevin she is his friend and she is going to go to the drug store to get some things for his leg. Kevin begs her not to leave her alone. Amber promises she'll come back and tells Kevin to sleep while she's gone.

Nick is on the phone in the tack house. Phyllis listens in the background while Nick raves about Sharon to a potential employer. When he hangs up, he tells her he was giving Sharon a job reference. Phyllis tells him he might want to call them back and tell them she's a thief because Sharon stole from them. Phyllis says she stole something when she was over, and Nick wants to know why Sharon was over at the tack house. Phyllis remembers how Sharon came over to ask her not to tell Jack about her and Billy, but she keeps that to herself. Nick tells Phyllis she is being ridiculous. Phyllis tells Nick that Sharon knocked down the monkeys when she was there and when she left, they were gone. Nick asks her if she actually saw Sharon take the figurine, and Phyllis admits she didn't, but she knows Sharon took it. Phyllis asks Nick why he's defending Sharon, and Nick says she's the mother of his son. He tells Phyllis that she is obsessed with Sharon - every time they have a problem she blames it on Sharon. Phyllis yells at Nick that he slept with her! Nick tells Phyllis that he just wants to move forward, and that he made his choice, he is with her. He tells Phyllis he loves her, and Phyllis says she wants to believe him. Nick kisses her, and at first, Phyllis resists, but eventually goes along with it.

At the breakfast table in the Abbott mansion, Sharon and Jack discuss the loss of his job. Jack believes Victor is behind it. He says he wants to get him back. Sharon tells him she can't handle any lies and manipulation right now. Colleen comes into the room and asks Jack if he is ready to get to work. Sharon is surprised Colleen didn't know that Jack was fired from Jabot. She wants to know what they are working on together, and Jack tells Sharon Colleen wanted to talk about the Fresh Face of Jabot. She leaves the room to get more juice. Jack talks to Colleen about the Newman Board of Directors. He offers her advice on how to vote on a new fragrance and how to get other members to vote with her. Jack says Victor will have wasted years of research and development if the board doesn't approve of the new fragrance. Sharon listens from around the corner. She comes back into the room and slams down the juice before she walks out again. Jack follows her, and Sharon begins to yell at him, but remembers what she's done with Billy and begins to apologize to Jack, saying she has no place to judge.

At the pool house, Esther visits Chloe. Esther wants a big wedding for Chloe, but she says she and Billy will just get married at a civil service. Billy comes into the room with Cordelia whose diaper he just changed. Esther learns that Jill fired Billy from his CEO position. She begins to talk about the wedding again, and she and Chloe try to get Billy to agree to have the wedding at the Chancellor Mansion. Billy tells Chloe not to push him or there will be no wedding, and he leaves.

In the boxcar, Kevin sees Terrible Tom. Kevin says he knew that Tom would come back for him - he loves him. Tom says of course he came back for him. Kevin shows Tom the money and says he can get more if his dad wants him to. Tom says he's proud of Kevin. Tom says Kevin's mom tried to make him into a wimp, but he grew up to be just like his dad. Kevin beams at the compliment. Kevin then sees Jana as well. She tells him it is time for him to come home. Tom orders Kevin not to listen to her. Jana tries to convince him that he needs to come home to all of the people who love and care about him, but Tom tells Kevin no one cares about him. Finally, Jana disappears, and Tom threatens Kevin if he is not over the Canadian border by nightfall.

The detective orders Daniel and Michael to stay in the bank so they don't interfere with their investigation. Daniel tries to leave when he sees Amber walking by outside, but they won't let him leave. Jana arrives at the bank and they all watch the security tape again. Jana notices Amber is saying something to the camera. Daniel figures out that Amber is mouthing, "Help me!" to the camera, as Jeff comes into the bank. Daniel says that Kevin made Amber do the robbery, but Jana wonders why she kicked the gun away from the guard and helped Kevin get away. Kevin reminds them all that Kevin burned down Gina's and that he tried to kill Jana. Kevin says he likes Kevin, but if he has to pick only one, he is going to pick Amber.

Billy talks with Colleen at the Abbott mansion. He informs her that Esther wants to throw him and Chloe a wedding in the Chancellor mansion. Colleen says that will be tough because that is where he married Mackenzie and they were in love. Billy tells Colleen that he and Chloe aren't two people crazy in love - they are just two crazy people. Colleen tells Billy she'll come to his wedding and leaves the room. Jack comes into the room and encourages Billy to start his marriage off right in front of people, not in city hall. Billy tells Jack he feels like bolting right now, but Jack tells him that his mom is capable of anything and he needs to marry Chloe and make Cordelia an Abbott, now.

Upstairs at the Abbott house, Sharon remarks how she and Jack fell right back into their old patterns. He says that those old patterns weren't so bad, were they? Jack kisses Sharon.

Later, when Sharon comes downstairs, she runs into Billy. She asks about his marriage to Chloe, and tells him he shouldn't knock it, she's been floating from day to day and it isn't so great. Jack comes downstairs and suggests he, Sharon, and Noah go out to dinner, but Sharon declines. He suggests another night, but Sharon tells him the three of them aren't going to have dinner together any night. She tells Jack she realizes she has been using Jack, and she needs to move back to the Club. Jack tells her they can go back to sleeping in separate bedrooms and being platonic, but Sharon insists she needs to leave. She kisses his cheek before she walks out the door.

Colleen visits Chloe in the pool house. Colleen tells Chloe that Billy will never love her. She tells Chloe Billy has been in love before. Chloe slams the door in her face. Chloe picks up Cordelia and tells her she knows Billy has commitment issues, but they will still get married and be a family together. Billy comes in and tells Chloe they should start their marriage off right - he will marry her in the Chancellor mansion after all. Chloe is thrilled - she kisses his cheek and tells Cordelia daddy will look cute in a monkey suit.

When Amber comes back to the boxcar, Kevin thinks she is Jana. Amber tells him that it is her - Amber. Kevin is surprised she came back. He wants to get going so that they can get across the border in time, but Amber wants him to take medicine and allow her to dress his wound first. They hear sirens and Kevin says they are outlaws. He tells Amber there is no way they will take them alive.

Kevin and Amber Rob A Bank

In the car, Kevin tells Amber they'll simply rob the bank, get some money, and then go across the Canadian border to meet up with his dad. Kevin's leg hurts a lot, and Amber tells him he needs a doctor. She tells him she wants to call Michael, but Kevin insists that his dad will be mad if they don't get the money. She reminds him that Clint is not his dad, and that he's dead, but Kevin refuses to believe this. He says he's alive and waiting for them in Canada. Kevin holds the gun to Amber to get her to go into the bank with him.

Gloria sits in Crimson Lights with Jana. Daniel comes in and tells Gloria Jana left against medical advice. They try to convince her to go back to the hospital, but she refuses to go, saying she is too worried about Kevin. Jana wants to keep Crimson Lights open. Gloria tells her she may not be able to help her son, but she can keep the coffeehouse running. Jana wants to know what happened when Daniel and Michael went to look for Kevin. Jeff and the bounty hunter come in, and Jeff tells Gloria he is really going to find Kevin - it will be much better if they find him before the police do. He says that Kevin's a good kid, maybe a little twisted, but he comes by that honestly.

At the Ranch, Victor tells Ashley that getting fired might be a good thing because she can stay home and take care of herself and their baby. Ashley is surprised when she learns that Victor believes that woman is really Katherine. Adam listens around the corner as they talk about him. Ashley says his self-pity is normal because he is going blind, but Victor believes he still has no taken responsibility for putting him in prison, and until he does, he won't ever be the man he could be. Victor then tells Ashely that he doesn't want anything to happen to her or the baby because losing Sabrina and the baby nearly killed him and he couldn't take that again. Olivia arrives at the Ranch to see Ashley. Victor leaves the two women to talk. Olivia also believes that Ashley being fired is a good thing for her and the baby. Olivia also says she's worried about Ash ley's history. Ashley tells her that she isn't going to have another nervous breakdown, and even if something happens to the baby, she thinks she'll be okay. Adam listens, interested. Olivia gets a text message from Lily, asking her to come see her. Olivia makes Ashley promise she'll call if she needs her before she leaves.

Katherine tells Jill she is not her mother. She is not a match to Katherine or to the exhumed body. Nikki comes into the office, and Jill yells at her for sending this impostor in and making these claims. Nikki says the only impostor in the room is Jill, but Jill tells her she is Katherine's daughter - they had a DNA test done years ago to confirm that. Jill and Nikki argue, and Jill accuses her of being the good daughter to Katherine while she's always been the bad one. Katherine challenges Jill to prove them wrong - that Katherine is her mother. Jill tells them they should call Brock, because maybe Katherine isn't his mother either. Nikki says that's a good idea, she bets Katherine will be a match to him. Nikki and Katherine both believe Jill is scared. Jill orders Nikki to leave or she'll call security.

Lily tries to give the ring back to Cane, but he won't take it. Lily tells him she can't be part of taking Cordelia away from Chloe. Cane says Chloe won't puts the baby's needs first, but Lily says Chloe has always put the baby's needs first. She says that's why Chloe lied to Cane in the first place, because she knew he'd make an amazing father. When Cane finds out Chloe visited Lily at the house, he is angry, but Lily tells him that her decision to break off their engagement was hers, not Chloe's. Lily says she loves Cane, but she can't take Cordelia away from a mother who loves her. Lily tries to give the ring back again, saying if she keeps it, Cane will only be waiting for her to put it on. Cane says he can't ever take the ring back. He kisses Lily before he leaves.

Kevin and Amber go into the bank. He is weak and dizzy, but tells Amber to go over to the teller. Amber suggests that she take the gun, but Kevin refuses to let her have it. Kevin waves the gun around and announces that this is a robbery. Amber looks into the security camera and mouths, "Help me." As the teller is handing Amber the money, Kevin collapses on the floor and drops the gun. Amber helps them get up and they make their escape. She puts him in the car and he goes unconscious. Amber begins to panic, but Kevin comes to again. The sirens begin to get closer and Amber panics when the car won't start.

At the coffeehouse, Daniel tells Jana what they found at the motel room, including that they found blood. He tells Jana that Amber scrolled a message onto the wall, saying Kevin is crazed and something about him being on a spree. Jana doesn't believe Kevin would hurt Amber, but Daniel isn't sure. He says that because of Kevin's past, he might have been pushed to a breaking point. He says our Kevin wouldn't hurt anyone, but that the old Kevin is back. Jana's head continues to hurt badly.

Jeff admits there is something in it for him if he and the bounty hunter can find Kevin and bring him home. He says Gloria might be grateful enough to have him back, but Gloria tells him he is not going to use this to get her back into bed with him. Gloria tells Daniel and Jana that Jeff and the bounty hunter are going out to look for Kevin.

At the trailer, Nikki makes a phone call to Brock. She convinces him to come to Genua City to see Katherine for himself. Katherine says Jill will just try to convince Brock that she's a fraud, but Nikki is sure he'll know she is his mother right away. Katherine reminds her that Jill didn't know she was Katherine, but Nikki says that's because they may not be related. Katherine worries about what will happen to Jill if it turns out she's not her daughter, but Nikki assures her Jill will survive. Katherine isn't so sure. Nikki tells Katherine how she had a stroke when they first found out they were mother and daughter, but then they became fond of one another. Katherine doesn't think all the great feelings should disappear just because of a piece of paper. Nikki offers to stay with Katherine until Murphy comes back, but she tells Nikki she'll be okay. Right before Nikki leaves, Katherine remembers getting the results of the DNA test she and Jill had done years ago. She remembers being happy that they were mother and daughter, as was Jill.

At the coffeehouse, Jana's head stops hurting. She says she believes Kevin might be coming home now.

Victor returns to the Ranch and he and Ashley hear a noise from Adam's room. Ashley hopes that Adam hasn't fallen, and Victor goes upstairs to check on him. Victor asks if Adam is okay, and he says he is fine, he won't sue. Victor notices that Adam is sweating. Adam says he hasn't been feeling well lately. Victor tells him if he needs anything to call him. Adam thanks him for that. Once Victor has left the room, Adam begins doing push-ups.

Cane comes to Jill's office. Cane tells his mother what has happened with Lily. Cane comments that he hopes she just needs some time to adjust to the idea of being a mother to Cordelia. Jill tells Cane about the most recent DNA test, and says at first she thought it was absurd that she might not be Katherine's daughter, but now she isn't so sure. Cane says he knows they buried his grandmother.

At Cane's house, Lily is packing when Olivia arrives. Olivia sees the engagement ring and starts congratulating Lily, telling her how happy she is for her. Lily stops her, though, saying that while they were engaged, they aren't anymore. She broke off the engagement.

Victor goes back downstairs and they discuss whether or not he should see a doctor. Ashley is surprised and pleased that Victor still cares about Adam.

Upstairs, Adam does more push-ups. He then tries to break the ankle bracelet off his ankle. It appears he is also trying to lose enough weight to slip the bracelet off. He gets down on the floor again and does more push-ups.

At the coffeehouse, Daniel gets a call from Michael. Daniel informs Jana and Gloria that Kevin has robbed another bank, and this time he wasn't alone. Jana's head begins to hurt again.

At the bank, Jeff notices blood on the floor. Nearby, Amber tries to get Kevin out of the car so they can run, but he says he can't move his leg. She notices how bad his leg looks.

Murphy Proposes!

Two orderlies roll Marge's body into a room in a metal box. She sits up and begins to talk. She says a lot of people are wondering whose body is in the box - hers or Katherine's. She says she is going to tell us about Katherine and her friends. She says those rich friends of Katherine's are crazy, and that being dead gives you a different perspective.

Katherine and Nikki sit in the trailer. Katherine tells her it will be a dream to go home, but she will miss the trailer, too. Nikki wonders if Murphy will come with Katherine or if the lifestyle will be too overwhelming for him. Nikki looks through a photo album and finds a picture of Katherine on the bowling team. Katherine tells her she was the captain. Katherine tells Nikki that Murphy would probably have taken her fishing eventually because he owns a bait and tackle shop. Nikki points out they are both entrepreneurs, but Katherine worries the person Murphy fell in love with doesn't exist. Marge says that she and Murphy were never more than friends. Katherine speculates that the DNA test on Marge's body will come back as not being a match as well, and Nikki tells her there may be another explanation for it.

Murphy sits at the diner, thinking about Katherine. He tells Pearl he has some big decisions to make and leaves.

Jeff asks Jack if he's seen Gloria, he is looking for her. Jack reminds Jeff that Gloria threw him out, but Jeff doesn't seem to care. He tells Jack that this whole thing with Kevin really has Gloria frazzled.

Jill tells Victor she believes that Katherine is a fraud. Victor tells her that the papers she signed will give her control over the Jabot stock and put doubt to rest. He tells her the woman he saw was Katherine, but Jill insists that the woman is not her mother. Victor replies that he didn't say it was her mother, he said she was Katherine.

Nikki meets Nick and Phyllis at the Club and tells them she has an idea for their next cover story. Katherine comes into view and Nick and Phyllis are shocked. Nikki explains to them why she believes she is Katherine and tells them Victor believes she is Katherine as well. Nick and Phyllis both hug Katherine, and she tells them how much it means to her to have the people she cares about believe her. Nick says that putting her in Restless Style will make the whole world believe she is back.

Marge appears again and remarks on how good it is to see things going well for Katherine. She talks about how Nick is in love with two women and he is going to need to make a decision soon. She says one of them is hanging by her fingernails.

Sharon sits in the Abbott mansion and writes a letter to her mother. She tells her mother she really wants to talk to her right now, but she knows she needs her rest, so she won't burden her with her problems. Sharon says she blames herself for putting her mother in a wheelchair and for her never walking again. She says she's also partly responsible for Brad's death - she made him go away in the storm because she wanted to be alone. She tells her mother she is so selfish. Sharon says she has a huge hole inside of her, and she's tried to fill it with men and sex, but that only makes it worse. She wonders if she is this way because her father abandoned her and her mother. She begins to wonder if the world would be better off without her. Marge appears and says she's been where Sharon is, a lost soul. She says that God will show her the way, but until He does, Sharon will have a hard time of it.

Gloria runs into Jack at the Club. Jack tells her that Katherine's body is being exhumed, and Gloria wonders why Jill would do such a disgusting thing. Jack tells her people are starting to believe that Katherine is alive, and Gloria tells him she has believed it all along. Katherine and Nikki appears behind Jack, and Gloria greets her. Jack gives Katherine a hug. Katherine seems confused, and Jack asks her if she has forgotten him. Katherine tells him he is unforgettable.

In a morgue, Marge lifts a sheet off of Clint. She says he died of a heart attack, but she wasn't even aware he had a heart. She tells us he didn't make it to Heaven. Instead, he made a detour down south. She says that Clint was very smart and could have done a lot of good in the world, but instead he tortured Kevin like Terrible Tom did. Amber and Kevin are still driving. Amber asks Kevin to pull over so she can call Michael, but he refuses, saying she is going to call the police and turn him in. Kevin tells Amber she hasn't committed any crimes, and that he's calling the shots, not her. Amber grabs the steering wheel and they swerve off the road. Amber tries to tell Kevin that so many people care about him, but he is convinced no one cares about him. Kevin pulls the gun on Amber and tells her that during the next robbery, she is going to come in with him and hold the gun so that she is as deep into this as he is.

Katherine meets with Victor at the Ranch. They discuss Murphy, and Victor wants to know if they are serious. Katherine tells him time will tell. They discuss how it is rare that you find that one person who completes you, your soul mate. Victor tells Katherine hers was Rex, and Katherine tells Victor his is Nikki, but Victor reminds her he is with Ashley now. Just then, Victor receives a call.

Phyllis joins Jacks in the dining room at the Club while he waits for Sharon. Jack tells Phyllis that he and Sharon aren't back together, but that he is hopeful. Phyllis asks Jack about Billy, which Jack finds puzzling. Phyllis tells him that Billy reminds her of Jack. Nick is in the lobby asking a staff member if Sharon is in her room, and he tells Nick she checked out a couple of days ago. Nick is confused. Sharon arrives and joins Phyllis and Jack at the table, where Phyllis tells her they were just talking about Billy. Nick joins them as well, and decides to stay for a drink before heading back to the office. Nick asks Sharon how living at the Club is, and Jack informs them that Sharon has moved back in with him. Phyllis says Sharon is full of surprises. Sharon tells them that Noah wanted to recover at Jack's because it is a safe place. Jack adds that Noah will get a kick out of Billy. Phyllis is shocked and wants to know why Billy is living there. Jack tells her that Billy and Chloe moved into the pool house because they are going to get married and raise Cordelia together. Nick leaves the table to go back to the office, and Phyllis says she cannot believe Billy is living with Jack. Jack wants to know what her sudden fascination with his brother is when Daniel comes over to the table and asks Phyllis if he can talk to her in private. When Phyllis leaves the table with Daniel, Sharon tells Jack she wants to go home. Jack goes to get the car, and Sharon watches Nick talk on the phone across the room.

Daniel tells Phyllis that he and Michael discovered where Kevin was staying. He tells her they found Clint in the closet dead and Amber's bloody scarf. He says he doesn't know if Amber is dead or alive. Phyllis offers him a place to stay at her house while they find Amber, but Daniel tells her Jana is in the hospital because she's so stressed about Kevin. He says he's going to head back to the hospital to hang out with Jana.

Nikki and Katherine are in the diner. Nikki says Joe Jr. is sweet, just like Katherine said he was. Katherine is confused. Nikki tells her Joe Jr. won't take any location fee for the photo shoot and wants to help in any way he can. Jill arrives at the diner, telling Katherine she thought she'd find her here. Jill tells Katherine after the DNA test proves her mother is buried, she is going to make sure Katherine stays away from Genua City or she will make sure she winds up in jail again. Katherine tells Jill she is as vindictive as ever, she's just remembered how spiteful she can be. She says once she's back home, she is going to make her life hell.

Jeff finds Gloria at the Club. He introduces her to a huge man who is a bounty hunter. He tells her this man will hunt down Kevin and bring him home.

Sharon tells Jack to wait for her in the car - she needs to visit the ladies room. She approaches Phyllis and asks her to stop bringing up Billy. She says Jack is trying to help her, and she doesn't want Phyllis to mess it up. Jack appears and Sharon leaves with him.

Nikki goes to the Ranch to thank Victor again for convincing Jill to exhume Marge's body. They agree to be friends. Marge appears and encourages one of them to kiss the other. When Nikki leaves, Marge says they are idiots.

Murphy comes back into the diner. Katherine says she has been wondering where he's been. Murphy gets down on one knee, and Katherine wants to know what he is doing. Murphy tells her he is proposing. Murphy asks her if she would do him the honor of becoming his wife. Katherine gapes, and Joe Jr. and Pearl nod excitedly in the background. Katherine says, "yes," to Murphy, and they embrace. Murphy gives her the ring, starting to say it isn't much, but Katherine cuts him off, saying the ring is perfect. Murphy asks if she knows he loves her. She says she knows he does, and that she loves him, too. A mambo begins playing on the jukebox, which has been broken. Katherine says it must be a sign that Marge approves. She and Murphy dance to the music.

Marge gets back into the metal box. She says the doctor is done with her, he got his sample, and she is headed back to the boneyard. She says she's genuinely happy for Katherine and Murphy. She says she's headed back to Heaven, where she can do the mambo 24/7. She lays back down in the box and closes the lid.

Victor Helps Katherine

The Young and the Restless update for Wednesday March 25, 2009:

Sharon thanks Jack for dinner at the Club. Jack tells her it was great having her back in the house last night - even if she slept in the guest bedroom. She thanks him for not pushing things. She then asks how long Billy and Chloe will be staying at the house. Jack asks her if this is a problem, and Sharon says it just reminds her of when Gloria was staying there and brought up some bad memories, but she doesn't mind them staying around. Jack tells Sharon he really appreciates that. Mary Jane Benson stops by the table, and Jack introduces her to Sharon. Sharon isn't too enthusiastic about this. When Mary Jane leaves, Jack asks Sharon if she wants to have some more coffee at the Club or if she's ready to go home. Sharon says she's ready to go home, she's had a bad couple of weeks. Jack reminds her he is there to listen if she wants to talk or give her space if she needs it. He tells her his love for her is unconditional. Jack says when Sharon is back to normal again, she may want to consider coming back to Jabot, but Sharon remarks she probably won't be back to normal for quite a while.

In the pool house, Chloe tells Billy her marriage to Cane has finally been annulled. They hash out the rules of their relationship, such as always putting Delia first. Billy tells Chloe she should give Cane's ring back to him, but Chloe says she loves the ring and it's a Chancellor heirloom. She asks Billy if he would be jealous if she kept it, and he tells her he wouldn't be. Instead, he says she'd be doing him a favor because then he wouldn't have to buy her a ring.

Cane asks Lily out on a first date. He tells her his marriage to Chloe has been annulled and that nothing will ever come between them again. Lily is happy about this. She asks about the custody case, and Cane tells her it should move pretty fast. Lily asks Cane if it is really a good idea to take Cordelia away from Chloe. Cane tells her she will make a better mother. Lily defends Chloe, telling Cane that when it comes down to it, Chloe puts Cordelia's needs ahead of her own, and that she can't fault her for that. After dinner, Cane hands Lily a fortune cookie. She breaks it open to find a beautiful ring. She says she loves the ring, and Cane tells her he's had it for a while, but he wanted to wait until his marriage was annulled to give it to her. He tells Lily he loves her.

Jill bumps into Mary Jane in the lobby of the Club and insists they meet to discuss some ideas she has for her about Jabot. Mary Jane listens to Jill's ideas and remarks that they are good ones. Jill is thrilled she thinks so, and wants to get to work on them right away. Mary Jane is confused. She tells Jill she thought Billy was the CEO of Jabot. Jill says he is, but she's the CEO of Chancellor and gets a say on what goes on at Jabot. Mary Jane insists they talk to Billy about the ideas together before she gets started on working on them. Jill finally agrees to run the ideas by Billy. Mary Jane says she needs to turn in so she can get up early and get to work. She leaves Jill at the table.

Katherine stands by Nikki's side at the Ranch in front of Victor. She orders him to stop staring at her. Victor wants to know where she saw him last, and she responds she saw him last in the living room after Sabrina died. After a few minutes of talking, Victor admits no one talks to him the way Katherine does. Victor welcomes Katherine home, and they discuss how he came back to Genua City for her funeral even though he knew he'd be arrested. Katherine says she could remember the past few months. Nikki and Katherine fill Victor in on Murphy, and Victor tells Katherine he wants to meet Murphy. Nikki tells Katherine that Victor and Ashley are back together and are expecting a baby. Katherine congratulates him. Katherine tells Victor that Jill refuses to have Marge's body exhumed and they need to have it done in order to prove Katherine really is Katherine. Victor tells her he will see what he can do.

Billy and Chloe are in the Abbott living room when Sharon and Jack arrive home. They ask Sharon and Jack if they can stay in the house for a little longer because Chloe is sleeping in the pool house and she won't sleep with them there. Sharon goes upstairs to do some unpacking. Chloe goes to get a cold drink. After both women have left the room, Billy tells Jack he has to get Sharon out of there! Jack wants to know why, and Billy tells him Sharon already broke his heart once. Billy believes Jack is setting himself up to get hurt again. Jack reminds him he messed up the marriage and that Sharon needs stability right now. Billy appears very agitated. Jack asks about how he and Chloe are doing, and Billy informs him they are okay, but Chloe's marriage is finally annulled. Billy tells Jack Chloe wants promises of commitment and that she is obsessed with him in ways Jack cannot even imagine.

Cane tells Lily he is so glad to have her back, and that they've got a good shot at full custody. He tells her they can be a family all their own. Lily tells Cane she wants to marry him and she support him being a father, but she can't be a mother to Cordelia. Cane wants to know when Lily changed her mind, but Lily tells him she has felt uncomfortable with it the entire time. She doesn't think the baby should be taken away from Chloe because she's put the baby's needs first. Lily tells Cane she won't make him choose between her and the baby, but she cannot be the baby's mother and never will be. Cane tells her to hold onto the ring, and to not make any decisions right now. Lily agrees, but says she doubts she'll change her mind.

In the kitchen, Chloe is looking through cookbooks. She tells Sharon she wants to make Billy a surprise dinner because she thinks tonight might be the night the way Billy was all over her last night. Sharon asks how the two of them met, and Chloe tells her about how they met in New York and how great Billy is in bed! Sharon seems distressed. Sharon leaves the room. Jack enters and Chloe asks him if it would be lame if she ordered dinner for Billy from Indigo. She thanks Jack for talking to Billy. She says she thinks Billy will fall for her eventually, just as he did for Cordelia. Chloe leaves the room, and Sharon enters again. Sharon thanks Jack again for everything. Jack asks her if she wants to watch a movie, and Sharon agrees. Jack goes to make popcorn for them, and Billy appears behind Sharon.

At the Ranch, Jill tells Victor she thought he didn't want to sell her the stock. He says he's changed his mind, but that she doesn't have to buy it, he'll give it to her. Victor tells her the only thing he wants in return is her permission to exhume Marge's body to put things to rest once and for all. Jill initially declines the offer, but Victor tells her Katherine would approve. She finally agrees and tells Victor to have the papers drawn up.

Back in Murphy's trailer, Nikki sees a copy of Restless Style. She tells Katherine she wants her to be on the cover of the next issue, she wants to tell her story to everyone. Nikki tells Katherine by the time the next issue is due to come out, everyone will know who she is. Katherine says she'll think about it. She asks Nikki how heartbroken she is, saying she saw how hard Nikki was working to keep it together at the Ranch earlier. Nikki says she's fine with Victor and Ashley being together, but Katherine says she knows better. Nikki reminds Katherine she has Paul, and she is happy with him. Nikki says she's tired of doing the old dance with Victor, but Katherine tells her they were doing it earlier that day. Katherine tells Nikki she might be happy with Paul, but her life with him will never be what it was with Victor. Just then, Nikki gets a call from Victor, informing her that Jill has agreed to have Marge's body exhumed. Nikki tells him both she and Katherine really appreciate his help.

Billy tells Sharon not to use Jack, but she says she isn't. Sharon tells him she broke it off with him to be with Jack. They agree that they both have too much to lose, and that neither Jack nor Chloe must find out about them sleeping together.

Chloe has dinner ready for Billy, and vents that he isn't there to eat it yet. She blows out the candles in frustration. Billy walks in and kisses her. She tries to speak, but he tells her to shut up. He lays her down on the couch and kisses her passionately.

Jill sits at the bar in the Club. She thinks back to the day "Marge" first showed up at the Chancellor mansion. Jill whispers, "Forgive me, Mother."

Sharon and Jack have a popcorn fight as they get ready to watch the movie. Sharon kisses him, then takes his hand and leads him upstairs.

Nikki Wants Marge's Body Exhumed

Jack meets with Mary Jane Benson. Jill comes to his house, looking for Billy, and Jack tells her he and Chloe probably took the baby out for a drive. She complains about how Billy hired a new PR person with a six figure income without consulting with her, and Jack introduces Jill to Mary Jane. Jack tells Jill to take up her issues with Billy because she hired him as the CEO. When Jill leaves, Mary Jane tells Jack she is nervous about Jill, and that she doesn't want to start any trouble, but Jack tells her not to worry about Jill. Jack wants to get to know Mary Jane better and offers to take her to the club for a drink, but she says she has too much work to do. She tells Jack she will change his life before she leaves, however.

Katherine tells Murphy she's done everything she can think of to get her family and friends to believe she is Katherine, but they still don't believe her. She says Murphy is the only one who doesn't care what her name is or what her past was, and she needs that now. He tells her he is sorry for her troubles, but he is glad she's back. When Katherine leaves to go to the restroom, Murphy takes out a ring he plans to give her.

Nikki and Paul are at the Club when Nikki receives the ring from messenger, Katherine left in her room for her. Nikki is now convinced without a shadow of a doubt that Katherine really is Katherine. She knows Marge wouldn't ever give back the ring; she would have taken it and sold it. Nikki realizes the only reason Katherine went back to Murphy is because she knows he won't turn her away. She tells Paul that she told Katherine all the nice things Murphy did for her when she had no memory of who she was. Paul tells Nikki they have to prove the body they buried is actually Marge. He calls Heather, and when she arrives, they try to convince her to exhume Marge's body so that they can have a DNA test done on it. Heather tells them the only way they can exhume the body is if next of kin gives permission, which is Jill.

Daniel and Michael talk to the detective at the crime scene. Daniel tells the detective that Amber wasn't helping Kevin commit the robbery because he was on the phone with her at the time it happened. Michael tells the police that he thinks Clint is somehow controlling Kevin to commit the robberies. The detective tells him Clint isn't making him shoot at police officers. Michael and Daniel decide to go look for Amber and Kevin and find them before the police do. Daniel finds Amber's car a couple of blocks away. They hop into the car and begin to look for Amber and Kevin in places where they believe Clint may hide out.

At the motel, Kevin shoves Amber in the closet for a time-out. When Amber discovers Clint's body in the closet, she begins to scream hysterically. Out of the closet, Kevin tells Amber she's lucky she didn't wake his dad because he gets mad. He says his dad is sleeping in the closet. Amber asks Kevin if Clint hurt him, and Kevin tells her he only hurt him when he was bad. Amber asks Kevin if he was there when Clint fell asleep, but Kevin can't remember. Amber tries to explain to Kevin that his dad is Tom, and this is Clint. Kevin can't seem to make sense of it. Kevin leaves the room, and Amber tries to find a phone. When Kevin comes back, he has a big electric saw.

Jill goes to the Ranch to visit Victor and to complain about the irresponsible decisions he and Jack are making at Jabot. Jill tells Victor she wants controlling interest in Jabot back and tells Victor to name his price for the shares he has. Victor says Jill doesn't have much confidence in Billy, but Jill tells him she knows Billy has the potential, this is just too much for him too soon. Victor tells her he will not sell the shares to her or to anyone else. He asks her to leave.

Heather greets Jill when she comes to the Club, followed by Nikki and Paul. Jill tells Heather she thought she was meeting her alone. Jill tells Nikki she no longer wants to discuss the Marge/Katherine issue with her, and she doesn't care that she gave the ring back to her. Jill claims she only gave the ring back because she could be arrested for theft if she didn't. Nikki tells Jill she can get everyone off her back if she allows them to do DNA testing on the woman they buried. Jill says if she ever suggests something so disgusting again, she'll take a restraining order out on Nikki.

As Michael and Daniel search for Kevin and Amber, they talk about what Kevin might do. Michael tells Daniel it wouldn't take much for Clint to gain control of Kevin, and they need to find him before he hurts himself or someone else. Michael gets a call from Gloria about Jana, who was taken to the hospital. Michael fills Daniel in and he comments that she's been having headaches lately. He says he thought it was just stress, but he's worried about her tumor. Michael tells him only one crisis at a time. They discuss Terrible Tom and what he did to Kevin as a child. Michael tells Daniel Kevin suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress and the littlest thing could bring him back to his past.

At the motel, Kevin wants to make Clint a coffin. Amber argues, telling him they need to go home, but Kevin orders her back into the closet. Amber tells Kevin she isn't going back into the closet. At that point, voices haunt Kevin, and he shoves her back into the closet. Amber calms down and tells him how much people love and care about him. She reminds him of Jana. Kevin has a hard time believing she is real. Kevin says he let her down, but Amber says he is scared and it is okay. Kevin lets her out of the closet, and Amber helps him make the casket. When they finish building it, Amber checks Kevin's wound. It is still bleeding heavily, so Amber takes his scarf off the wound and replaces it with hers. She goes to get Clint to put in his, "new home," when Kevin flips on the news. The news reporter says that Amber is Kevin's accomplice and she starts freaking out. Kevin puts her into the coffin and sits on it with a gun in his hand. She pleads for him to let her out.

When Katherine comes back to the room, Murphy says he has something for her. He explains he saved her Christmas present, and that it was never the right time to give it to her with her fall, her being in jail, then her being kidnapped, and then in the hospital. Murphy tells Katherine it meant a lot having her there and that he thinks she saved him that day he found her at the river. He says he thought he'd always be alone after his wife died, and that he hopes he never has to spend another day without Katherine in his life. He is about to give her the ring when there is a knock on the door. Murphy is frustrated they are interrupted. He answers the door to find Nikki. She rushes to Katherine, hugging her, and apologizing for doubting her. She says she and Paul have a plan to prove Katherine's identity and to get her back home where she belongs. Murphy is disappointed.

Michael and Daniel arrive at the room where Kevin and Clint were staying. They find it empty. They find Amber's bloody scarf, and an empty coffin. Daniel opens the closet door and Clint's dead body tumbles out. They also find a message on the wall, "Kevin is crazed, on a something spree." They guess that Kevin is on a killing spree.

Kevin drives a car, telling Amber they are going to Canada where mom says it's safe. Amber realizes he is talking about Annie.

Jill shows up at the Abbott mansion. Jill tells Jack she thinks he is manipulating Billy and she is going to look over every inch of everything Mary Jane does. Jack tells her she has too much time on her hands, but she tells him if she finds anything wrong, she will not only fire Mary Jane, but him as well.

Victor is on the phone with Mary Jane getting a progress report when Estelle lets Nikki in. Victor is annoyed she has come to the Ranch. Nikki gets right down to business, she wants Victor to help her get a DNA test on Marge. Victor tells her she's already had one, but Nikki insists Katherine is alive. She wants Victor to help her with Jill, but Victor tells Nikki she needs to be committed. Katherine comes in and tells Victor how dare he talk to Nikki like that after everything she's done for him. Victor is shocked.

Nikki Finally Recognizes Katherine

The Young and the Restless update for Friday March 13, 2009:

Nikki and Katherine sit at the Club bar and talk about the ring. Nikki tells Katherine she pawned it, but Katherine says she’d never do such a thing because her mother gave it to her. She doesn’t remember pawning it at all. Katherine tells Nikki she’s her best friend and she doesn’t know what she’d do without her. Nikki tells Katherine she might actually believe she is who she says she is if Katherine would tell her something that isn’t a matter of public record. Nikki tells Katherine to go away and she does.

Amber and Kevin are at the coffeehouse, and amber tells Kevin she’d bet her life that Katherine really is Katherine. They begin to talk about Kevin and where Clint might have him. Katherine is upset by the way Nikki and Jill have treated her, and Amber empathizes with her. Daniel asks if she has remembered anything that might help them find Kevin, but Katherine tells them she hasn’t been able to remember anything yet. Amber tells Katherine she’s taking her on a trip, and at first Katherine protests, but when Daniel reminds her how stubborn Amber is, she gives in and goes along with it. Before she leaves, Amber thanks Daniel for being so nice to Katherine. He tells her to call if she’s going to be late.

Jana comes in upset about Kevin. She says as more time passes, she fears more and more that Clint may have done something awful to him. Daniel tells her that he feels in his gut that Kevin is still alive, and Jana seems to be somewhat relieved by this assurance.

Nikki spots Victoria and tells her that even though she knows she was talking to Marge, she reminded her of Katherine so much. Talk then turns to the subject of Ashley’s pregnancy, and Victoria is surprised when Nikki says she wishes both Ashley and Victor well. She tells Victoria she even went to congratulate Victor on the pregnancy. Victoria tells her mother she should be concerned about Victor because he keeps latching onto one thing after another for hope – Adam, Sabrina, and now Ashley. Nikki reminds Victoria she should learn to live with what her father is doing because she doesn’t want to risk another alienation by him. Victoria comments that she still feels guilty about the way she treated her father and Victor. Victoria comments that her mother is so accepting of the situation that she’ll be throwing Ashley a baby shower.

Kevin returns to the motel room in the squirrel costume. Clint says that he did good work and he’ll get another helping of Mac ‘n’ Cheese tonight. Kevin doesn’t seem pleased and Clint demands a “thank you, daddy,” from him. Clint looks at the money and tells Kevin this is just the beginning for the two of them. Kevin tells Clint he isn’t going to commit any more robberies for him, but Clint reminds him he’ll do whatever Clint says. Kevin turns against Clint, saying that he’ll hurt him. Clint is scared, but snaps out of it, telling Kevin if he doesn’t do what he says, he is going to go back into the closet for another 24 hours. Kevin apologizes and promises he won’t make another outburst like that again, and Clint says, “It’s okay, son.” They see a report on the television about the robbery, and Kevin gets scared.

At Newman Victor tells Ashley that it seems that Adam is having vision problems; he saw Adam reading his letter upside down. Victor tells her that he could be lying about this, and that he knows what Adam is capable of. Ashley tells Victor that either way he needs to find out what is going on and be there for his son. Victor agrees.

At Indigo, Tyra tells Neil she knows why he wants to talk – he saw the two of them kissing. She tells Neil that Karen accused her of trying to break up their marriage, and Neil doesn’t seem pleased about that. He tells Tyra under the circumstances they can no longer work together. Tyra tells Neil the kiss was her fault; she shouldn’t have let it happen. She says Neil is like a man from a fairytale, and that her life’s never been that way. She tells him she has never felt anything for another man the way she feels about Neil. Neil tells her the kiss was as much his fault as it was hers. Tyra says his loyalty lies with his wife, and that he’s right, they can’t work together anymore. She makes it clear to Neil that she will always be a part of Ana’s life, though, and Neil agrees. She says she’s glad that Neil and Karen are still going to adopt her, and that Neil needs to figure out what he is going to tell Ana about why her mother is no longer working at Indigo. Neil tells her they’ll figure it out.

Devon looks for his father at Newman. Karen tells him Neil isn’t there. Devon asks Karen if everything is okay between her and Neil, and she admits they’ve had some tough times lately. Devon tells her whatever is going on, Neil loves her.

Victor returns to the prison to visit Adam. When Adam acts defensive again, Victor asks him if he’s afraid that Victor will find out that he’s lying or that he’ll have to ask for help. Victor tells Adam he’s brought a doctor with him and asks Adam if he’ll allow the doctor to examine him. Adam sighs in defeat. The doctor examines Adam. The doctor says it appears that Adam has the beginning of the eye disease Hope had. Victor tells Adam he is sorry for the bad news. Victor also remarks he’s been afraid of Adam getting this eye condition since before he was born. Adam admits he is scared; he says that prison is terrifying with sight, but he doesn’t know how he’s going to survive in prison while he goes blind.

Katherine and Amber go to the diner, where they find Pearl, Murphy, and Joe Jr. Murphy is happy to see her and asks if she remembers him. Katherine tells him she does and she has so much she needs to say to him. Murphy wants to know if she’s had a breakthrough, but Katherine tells him Amber filled her in on the past few months. Murphy is disappointed. Katherine thanks Murphy for taking her in and for being so kind to her. She says she will take care of him for the rest of his life once she proves who she is, but Murphy tells her all the thanks he needs is knowing that she is his friend. Katherine tells him she hopes he will change his mind when the time comes.

Nikki and Victoria arrive at Newman, and greet Karen, who rushes off, saying she has a meeting. Ashley comes around the corner and Victoria watches in amazement as Nikki gives Ashley a hug, telling her she hasn’t had the opportunity to congratulate her yet. She tells Ashley she thinks life is too short for grudges and she wishes her, the baby, and Victor every happiness. Victoria finds Karen in the break room and asks how her meeting went. Karen is baffled until Victoria explains that Karen said she had a meeting earlier when they saw each other. Karen said it went fine. Victoria asks if she and Neil are having problems.

Neil offers to make some calls for Tyra to help her get another job, but Tyra tells him he doesn’t have to do that. She turns to go, but Neil calls after her. He comes toward her and kisses her passionately. They begin to undress each other when Devon comes in. Neither of them notice he is there, however.

At the coffeehouse, Jana thanks Daniel for his pep talk. Daniel shows her a video of a stranger robbery and Jana is shocked that the scarf the squirrel is wearing looks just like Kevin’s. Daniel agrees it does. They agree that it’s crazy to think Kevin is running around committing robberies dressed as a squirrel. Later, Amber returns to the coffeehouse and she watches the video of the robbery with Jana and Daniel. She notices that the scarf the squirrel wears is the one she made for Kevin as well. Daniel tells the girls he hates to admit it to them, but the squirrel robbing the check-cashing place is Kevin.

At Newman, Victor receives a call from the prison, alerting him that Adam is being taken to the prison infirmary because he was beaten severely.

Katherine approaches Nikki at the Club once again. Katherine begs Nikki to listen to her. She says she needs Nikki to support her the way Katherine supported her when she was in Mexico. Katherine tells Nikki about the conversation they had on the phone and about a specific story Nikki told her about she and Victor that Katherine had not heard before that day. Nikki is shocked and finally believes Katherine is alive! Nikki hugs her friend and cries.

Kevin Regresses

The Young and the Restless update for Thursday March 12, 2009:

At the prison, Victor observes Adam. Adam gets up from his seat and bumps into furniture as he finds his way to the table. Victor sits down across from him, and Adam is defensive. Victor reminds Adam he promised Hope he would look after him, but Adam scoffs at that. Victor asks Adam about his eyesight, but Adam denies there is anything wrong with it. He tells Victor that he didn’t care about him before, so why should he start now. Victor wants to know what Adam wants from him, and he says nothing. Victor leaves.

Kevin remains locked in the closet. Clint comes to the door, telling Kevin he will let Kevin out if he is a good boy. He opens the closet door and tells Kevin he can have food and drink if he does what, “daddy,” says. Kevin asks for his mother, which frustrates Clint. He shoves Kevin back into the closet, warning him not to make a mess in there or he’ll be forced to lay in it and he’ll never be let out.

At the coffeehouse, Nikki says hi to Jill and asks how Esther is. Jill says Esther’s fine, but that she thinks she was held in captive with Katherine. Jill tells Nikki that the woman finally admitted she is Marge. A deliveryman delivers a package to Nikki. She opens it and it is Katherine’s ring. Nikki tells Jill she saw it at an auction and asked Victor to intervene for her. Nikki apologizes to Jill for accusing her of stealing it, but Jill is upset and leaves.

Amber gives Katherine a key to a room at the club. Katherine says she wants her life back, and she needs to prove she’s Katherine Chancellor in order to do that. Amber receives a phone call from Daniel, calling her obsessed with Katherine and the situation. Amber offers to eat with Katherine at the club, but she tells Amber to go set things straight with Daniel.

Kevin thinks he hears his mother talking with Clint outside the closet door. He yells at Clint to not hurt his mother. Clint commands Kevin to shut up and mutters how crazy he is under his breath as he reads the paper. Kevin finally calls for his “daddy” and promises he’ll be good. Clint helps him get out of the closet, and tells him they are going to play a game.

Nikki finds Victor at Newman and thanks him for getting Katherine’s ring back for her. Victor tells her Katherine wanted her to have it. Nikki also congratulates Victor on the pregnancy. Victor tells her that he’s busy with work, and Nikki leaves.

Neil and Karen discuss Neil’s kiss with Tyra in the Newman break room. Karen is still upset about the kiss, and tells Neil it was hard to walk in on them kissing in their living room. She tells Neil she is afraid what she would have found if she had walked in a few minutes later. She also tells him that she hates where her thoughts go when Neil is at Indigo late at night working with Tyra. Karen asks Neil to let Tyra go so that they can work on rebuilding trust in their marriage. Neil accuses Karen of not wanting Tyra to have a bigger role in Ana’s life than her. Karen tells Neil that this is about trust, not Ana. She finally demands to know what is more important – their marriage or defending Tyra. As Neil tells Karen their marriage is more important, Victor comes in and asks to speak with Neil.

After Neil leaves the room, Tyra walks in and greets Karen cheerfully. She tells Karen that she needs Neil to sign some checks for Indigo. She tells Karen the checks could wait, but she wanted to get them done early. Karen is furious, telling Tyra it is not appropriate for her to come into their place of employment to get something from Neil that could wait until later. She also tells Tyra that she should stay away from Neil.

Neil apologizes to Victor for brining his personal life into the workplace, and assures him it won’t happen again. Victor assures him it is okay, and informs Neil Ashley is pregnant. Neil congratulates him. Victor tells Neil he may need him to pick up some extra work because of the circumstances, but Neil tells Victor he needs to focus more on his family, too, because he and Karen are working on adopting Ana. Victor tells Neil it is all right; they’ll worry how to divide the work later. He tells Neil to go finish his conversation with Karen.

After Neil leaves, Victor sits down to write Adam a letter. He tells Adam it breaks his heart for Adam to be in that place, but that this experience will teach him and help him grow. Victor says this may seem like tough love, but it is love just the same.

Neil returns to the break room. Karen tells him Tyra left a check for him to sign, and he is surprised that Tyra stopped by. He apologizes to Karen for earlier, and he knows she’s right. He says Tyra is causing friction in their marriage, and that he will let her go. Karen hugs him and thanks him.

Jill spots Katherine in the dining room, and tells her that the Club won’t serve crooks. Katherine tells her that she is her mother, but Jill says she knows she admitted she is Marge. Katherine tells Jill that was only a ruse to get the psychiatrist to let her out of the hospital. She asks Jill if she was supposed to lie or to let the psychiatrist commit her? Jill tells her mother she wished the doctor committed her. Jill tells Katherine she is hurting everyone who loved her mother and are still grieving. Katherine tells Jill she is her mother, but Jill gets frustrated and leaves.

Amber meets Daniel at the coffeehouse, and she tries to explain to him why she lied to him about finding Katherine. She says she knows Daniel feels betrayed, but Daniel tells her she did betray him; she promised to give up on the Katherine thing. Amber tells him that Katherine’s life was at stake, and Daniel tells Amber hers was as well. Daniel tells her that going after Clint was stupid. Amber says she’s sick of people calling her stupid, so Daniel says she was reckless, then. They finally agree that they are worried about Kevin. Amber thinks she should tell the police the truth – that she and Kevin were going to save Katherine together.

Amber spots Jill at the coffeehouse and tells Daniel she needs to try to get Jill and Katherine in the same room so that Jill can speak with Katherine. Daniel tells her to take a break from trying to save the world, but she hops up and confronts Jill anyway. Amber tells Jill that she needs to talk with her mother, but Jill tells Amber she’s seen the woman, she isn’t her mother, and she no longer cares. Jill walks out of the coffeehouse.

Victor returns to the prison to give Adam his letter. Adam pretends to read it, but he cannot really see it. Victor pretends to leave, and then observes Adam attempting to read his letter. Victor sits down beside Adam, saying, “Let me help you with that.” Adam asks Victor what he is going to do, and Victor tells Adam they will figure it out.

Katherine sees Nikki at the Club and goes over to her. She asks Nikki to open her heart and just entertain the possibility that she might be Katherine; she asks Nikki to just hear her out. Nikki tells her that her heart closed after her best friend died. Katherine tells Nikki she is still here. Nikki tells Katherine to quit playing this sick game. Kay spots the ring on Nikki’s finger and tells her she left Nikki that ring and the rest of her jewelry in her will. Nikki begins to cry, and Katherine begs her to let go of her fear because she is still here. Nikki begs Kay to stop.

Neil arrives at Indigo, and Tyra greets him with chatter about the bar’s inventory. Neil stops her and tells her they need to talk.

Kevin is dressed as a squirrel, and approaches a man in a wicket. He has a gun and hands over a note. The man begs Kevin not to hurt him and gives him a lot of money.

Katherine Says She's Marge!

The Young and the Restless update for Wednesday March 11, 2009:

Victor has called Nick to the Ranch to talk about business. Victor wants him to go to China to wrap up a deal for Newman. Nick teases Victor about nesting with Ashley. Victor tells Nick he is determined not to let Ashley down, and Nick reminds him he didn’t let Sabrina down, either. Victor says it’s funny how life works sometimes, that he and Ashley met when Victor was in Paris to feel closer to Sabrina. He says that pregnancy is a gift.

Adam is in the jail when Heather arrives to check up on him. He doesn’t know she’s there until she says hello to him. She asks about his rash and his eyes. Adam denies having any problems with his eyes, but Heather admits she saw him trip over a chair last time she visited, and that he didn’t even know it was there. Adam keeps denying he has an eye problem until Heather asks for her pen by the magazine on the table. Adam feels for the pen, but Heather tells him there is no pen there. She tells Adam she can help him; she can get him in to see a doctor, but Adam refuses, telling her he already has a weakness being Victor Newman’s son. He tells her if the other inmates find out he can’t see, he will be dead.

Billy arrives at the Chancellor mansion. Jill tells him the next time he comes, he should bring the baby because she misses Cordelia. Billy tells Jill that the woman in the hospital is Katherine. He tells her how he doesn’t understand how she can’t recognize her own mother. Jill is furious because she believes this woman is conning Billy and is afraid of how much he’ll be hurt when he figures it out. Billy tells his mother that Katherine is going to need her if she is ever going to reclaim her life.

Amber wakes up in Katherine’s hospital room. Katherine is still frustrated because she cannot remember the past couple of months. She wonders if she has Alzheimer’s, but Amber tells her she saw a doctor, who said Katherine did not have Alzheimer’s or dementia. They wonder what could be causing the memory problems when a psychiatrist enters the room, wanting to ask Katherine some questions. She asks Katherine why she is calling herself Katherine when she was living as Marge. When the psychiatrist asks Katherine to tell her what words come to mind when she says the name Marge versus Katherine, the psychiatrist hypothesizes that a lonely woman may want to change her identity. Amber becomes angry, telling the psychiatrist that she can prove Katherine is who she says she is. Amber tells the psychiatrist to get Katherine’s dental records to prove her identity.

Gina and Colleen look at the paper in the club. Gina is angry that Kevin is on another rampage, saying that Kevin should be locked up behind bars. A reporter arrives at the club and Gina tells her that Kevin once burned down her restaurant. The reporter asks for an interview from Gina, and she agrees to give one.

At the coffeehouse, Daniel, Jana, Michael, and Gloria continue to worry about Kevin. Michael receives a call telling him that the photo of Kevin wasn’t photoshopped. They speculate that Kevin was forced to pose like that with the bomb. Jana becomes hysterical about Kevin’s whereabouts again.

Clint, Annie, and Roger stop at a motel. Clint orders Roger and Annie to get Kevin out of the room. He tells them to put Kevin into the closet, and Kevin goes hysterical, begging them not to put him in the closet because it is too dark in there. Kevin tries to convince himself he isn’t in the closet, but Clint bangs on the door and demands that Kevin be quiet. They see a news report on television, calling for their arrest. Annie panics, but Clint tells her that Kevin is going to get them out of this. He drags Kevin out of the closet, and yells at him. Clint leaves to get gas for the car, and orders Annie and Roger to put Kevin back into the closet. Annie convinces Roger to let him make Kevin something to eat first. When Clint comes back, he is angry that Kevin is out of the closet. Anne and Roger try to convince Clint to leave Kevin there while they escape to Canada, but Clint says he has, “big plans,” for Kevin. Later, Kevin hears Annie and Roger argue about whether to save him or not, but they decide to leave him in the closet where he’s been placed once again, and take off alone.

At the mansion, Esther comes down the stairs and tells Jill and Billy to turn on the TV because Gina is talking about Clint. Gina is saying that Kevin and Clint are of the same nature – two evil people. The reporter asks Colleen what she thinks of Kevin, but Colleen doesn’t want to say anything negative about him. Gina takes over again, telling the reporter that Kevin should be locked up. Billy says Clint is a piece of work for threatening Katherine. Jill becomes angry again because Esther agrees that Katherine is who she says she is. Later, Billy asks his mother to go down to the hospital and prove to him that Katherine isn’t his grandmother. After some convincing, Jill agrees to go.

At the coffeehouse, Jana, Michael, and Gloria fume at what Gina says on TV about Kevin. Daniel tells them that Gina never really got over Clint, but Jana tells him not to defend her. Michael speculates that Clint has Kevin. Gloria tells Michael that Clint is cruel and violent, and Michael says he knows that Clint is like Tom. Everyone is worried for Kevin’s sake. Detective Gil arrives and asks Jana why he found Katherine’s purse in her apartment. Jana explains she left it at the coffeehouse the night she died and Kevin didn’t want the family to think he stole it. He also asks her why there was a search on his laptop about how to hotwire the type of car Katherine had. Jana is angry that this detective is accusing Kevin of all kinds of horrible things. Detective Gil tells them that he has gotten an arrest warrant for Kevin.

Later, Michael catches Gloria talking with a reporter. He orders her to leave, but Gloria has already told her that Kevin is fragile. She tells Michael she wants people to understand what Kevin went through as a child. Michael accuses her of believing Kevin set the bomb up, and she admits she doesn’t know what to think anymore. Michael tells her Kevin wouldn’t do such a thing, but Gloria reminds Michael how much Kevin has been through.

Amber tells Katherine all the great things he did to help Katherine prove her identity in the past few months. Katherine is really grateful to Kevin. The psychiatrist returns to the room and informs Amber, Katherine, and Esther (who just arrived) that Katherine’s dentist retired and the records were sent to a warehouse, but the staff doesn’t know which warehouse they were sent to. Amber says there has to be a way to get the records, but the psychiatrist doesn’t seem to think so. The psychiatrist tells Katherine she will continue to observe her indefinitely in the hospital until she can come to a conclusion about her behavior. Katherine finally tells the doctor what she wants to hear – she says the psychiatrist is right; she’s not crazy, she is not Katherine Chancellor, and she is actually Marge. As Katherine says this, Billy and Jill overhear as they approach her room to visit her and are shocked. Later, after the doctor has left, Katherine tells Amber and Esther she just told the doctor what she wanted to hear so that she could get out of the hospital and work on reclaiming her life.

At the club, Jana yells at Colleen. Colleen tells Jana she knows Kevin’s changed and she didn’t mean her words to come out the way they did. Gina steps up and tells Jana that men like Clint and Kevin rarely change. She says that Kevin being locked up would be in everyone’s best interest. Jana is outraged and nearly threatens Gina, but Daniel gets her to leave before she makes a complete threat.

Billy Believes Katherine Is Alive

The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday March 10, 2009:

Nikki arrives at Nick and Phyllis’ to baby-sit Summer. Vicki calls and tells Nick about the explosion. Nikki tells them she’s heard about Victor’s announcement. Nick informs her that there’s been an explosion and that the woman calling herself Katherine is in the hospital. Nikki chooses to focus on the fact that Amber, Esther, and Gloria are all right, and insists she is not upset. She tells Nick and Phyllis to go enjoy their evening.

At the ranch, Victor and Ashley are being affectionate with one another. Ashley tells Victor she’s glad he had his vasectomy reversed and that the baby is a miracle. Victor tells Ashley the fact that they found one another is a miracle as well. Ashley reminds Victor that she was told she could not conceive after she lost Robert and begins to worry that something bad will happen to the baby. Victor reassures her that nothing is going to happen. He asks her to marry him. Estella comes in and asks if they would like any tea.

At the coffeehouse, Jill calls Cane to fill him in on what happened to Esther. She tells him that imposter is at the hospital, and Cane says he’ll head over there to check on Esther. When Jill hangs up, Jack asks her if she’s sure the woman isn’t actually her mother. Jill tells Jack she’d know if her mother were alive – she’d feel it in her heart. Jack accuses Jill of not wanting her mother back because she has more autonomy and control this way. Jill gets angry and leaves.

At the hospital, Katherine still cannot remember Murphy, Joe Jr., or Pearl. Katherine asks Murphy to tell her something that she might remember him by. He offers a few memories of their time together, but she doesn’t remember any of them. Murphy finally mentions Phillip, and Katherine can remember he is her late husband. Murphy realizes she has lost the memory of the last few months.

Everyone in the waiting room, including Michael, Jana, Chloe, Billy, and Esther gasp at the photo of Kevin with the bomb. Billy is quick to point out that Kevin has a long criminal record and tells Detective Gil he needs to find Kevin before he blows someone else up. Michael tells Billy to be careful making accusations like that. Jana, Michael, and Gloria don’t believe Kevin had anything to do with the bomb. Esther tells Detective Gil that Kevin was outside the motel room talking to Clint earlier. She then goes to visit Katherine in her hospital room. Esther is confused when she sees Murphy in there with her, but Amber tells Esther that it’s Murphy, and that he and Katherine are good friends. When the women enter the room, Murphy ducks out. Amber and Esther try to help Kay remember the past few months, starting with the fact that everyone believes she’s dead.

When Victor goes to take a call, Ashley asks Estella if she’s seen the red egg that Sabrina bought for Victor because it seems to be missing. Estella believes Ashley is accusing her of stealing it, but Ashley assures her she isn’t. When Estella goes upstairs, she overhears Ashley tell Victor that down the road, they may get married, but she doesn’t want to get married right this second.

At the hospital, Billy and Chloe have a discussion about Katherine/Marge. Billy admits that if Esther believes the woman is Katherine, then he isn’t sure she isn’t. At that moment, Cane and Lily come up to them. Cane tells him he thinks the woman is Marge, but Billy tells him he thinks that because their mother believes that.

Billy goes in to see Katherine. She asks him how his flight from Hong Kong was, and Billy is confused. Esther explains that Katherine has no short-term memory right now. Billy realizes that Marge couldn’t know the things Katherine is talking about and embraces his grandmother. Cane enters the room, and Billy warns him to be nice to Katherine. Kay tells Billy she is capable of handling his brother on her own, and that she’ll answer all of Cane’s questions. Cane asks her a few questions, but Katherine can’t remember the memories he is asking about. Esther tries to explain to Cane that Katherine only has very limited memory, but Cane offers her money to just go away and leave the family in peace.

Outside the room, Chloe and Lily trade insults. When Cane comes out, he admits the woman looks like his grandmother, but he knows she isn’t her. Billy follows Cane out of the room and demands to know how he could put her through all of that. Billy reminds Cane he’s only known her for two years while Billy has known his grandmother his whole life. Billy asserts that Katherine is his grandmother.

Nick and Phyllis run into Jack at the coffeehouse. Phyllis tells Jack she is surprised he isn’t going nuts over the news. He thinks she is referring to Esther surviving the crash, and is confused. Nick informs Jack that Ashley is pregnant. When Phyllis leaves to get some coffee, Jack and Nick exchange a few comments about Sharon.

At the hospital, Katherine expresses her frustration over her inability to remember. Esther ask Katherine if she’s thought about going home, but Katherine insists she can’t impose herself on Jill, someone who doesn’t even believe she is alive.

At the coffeehouse, Jana, Daniel, Michael, and Gloria try to think of a way they can find Kevin before the police do. Daniel admits he’s been worried about Kevin because he’s been so wrapped up in finding Katherine. Jana catches Gloria looking at the photo of Kevin and believes Gloria thinks Kevin actually did it. She is outraged, and then accuses Gloria of planning the entire thing herself so that she could be the hero. Michael tells Jana Gloria is capable of many things, but putting Kevin in danger isn’t one of them. Detective Gil arrives and delivers an envelope to Jana. Michael says he’s her attorney and takes the envelope from the Detective. He tells Jana it is a search warrant for the coffeehouse. Detective Gil tells them that Kevin is their prime suspect in the explosion. He says they also have a warrant to search their home.

At the tack house, Nikki remembers when she and Victor had Nick. Estella arrives and tells Nikki she doesn’t like Ashley. She tells Nikki that Ashley accused her of stealing. Nikki tells her to give it time, but Estella tells Nikki she doesn’t believe Ashley likes her and the feeling is mutual. She also tells Nikki that Victor wants to marry Ashley so soon.

When Nick and Phyllis arrive home, they stand outside the door and kiss.

At the diner, Murphy, Pearl, and Joe Jr. discuss why all those rich people care about Marge; Joe Jr. believes all they care about is Katherine’s money, but Murphy insists they are quality people and really care about Katherine. Murphy tells them he doesn’t think he should hang around her anymore because he will remind her of all the bad things she’s been through. Pearl tells him he should go see her again, if only to say good-bye. Later, Murphy looks out the window and says goodbye to Katherine and tells her he will miss her.

Billy arrives at the Abbott mansion. Jack asks about Chloe and Billy tells him he’s been holding her hand at the hospital for the past couple of hours. Billy asks for a drink, and Jack says he’s had a rough night, too. Jack tells Billy that Ashley is pregnant with Victor’s child. Billy tells Jack that his grandmother is still alive. Jack tells Billy to go be a father, and Billy leaves.

Cane arrives at the Chancellor mansion and tells Jill whoever the woman in the hospital is, she isn’t Katherine. He tells her she doesn’t have to worry about that woman anymore. Jill thanks him.

Katherine Can't Remember the Explosion

I'm sorry this is late - my computer has been having a lot of problems lately. I will post today's update later tonight as usual, then I will be on schedule again.

The Young and the Restless update for Monday March 9, 2009:

Nick kisses Sharon in her room at the club. She stops him and asks him what he’s doing. He apologizes and says he hates to see her hurting. Sharon reminds Nick he doesn’t want Phyllis to find out he is there. He leaves, apologizing again as he does so. After Nick is gone, Sharon calls someone and asks if they can come over because she doesn’t feel like being alone.

At the coffeehouse, Billy hangs up his phone, telling Chloe that was a friend on the phone. Chloe reminds him he made a commitment. Billy said he made a commitment to Delia, not to her, but Chloe reminds him that they are a package deal.

Michael and Lauren talk with Daniel and Jana at the coffeehouse. They inform them that Amber and Kevin have been missing for hours and they believe they are looking for Katherine. Michael is surprised they are still looking for her since the DNA test proved she wasn’t Katherine.

The bomb has exploded at the motel; everything is in ruins and on fire. Esther cries, looking for Katherine. She finds her unconscious, and tries to wake her up. Gloria is also there.

Once at home, Phyllis wonders how Summer will react to hearing Victor is going to have a baby. Nick tells her they should hold off on telling her, but Phyllis reminds Nick he was pretty excited about the news. She says she wished Nick had been at the table for the announcement. Nick begins to explain about how upset Sharon was, but Phyllis doesn’t want to hear it. She just wants to know if what he told her in the lobby was true. When Nick says it was true, Phyllis says she trusts him. Phyllis goes to take a shower and Nick follows her. They make love in the shower.

Jack arrives at Sharon’s room. He wonders if something has happened. Sharon tells him she is losing it. He massages her shoulders and asks her why she’s being so hard on herself. He reminds her if someone else had gone through even one of the things she’s gone through lately, she wouldn’t be as hard on her as she’s being on herself. Sharon tells Jack he doesn’t know how bad it’s gotten, and she doesn’t want to tell him because she’s afraid of losing the only friend she has left. Jack assures her that this would never happen.

At the coffeehouse, Jill arrives and teases Billy about having the baby out so late. She receives a call from Esther. Jill begins to lay into Esther about how she hasn’t been around lately, but Esther tells her there’s been an explosion and she needs to come to the hospital. Jill tells Billy and Chloe and they all rush out to the hospital.

At the explosion site, Esther watches as Katherine is strapped to a board and loaded into an ambulance. Amber, Esther, and Gloria arrive at the hospital and watch as Katherine is wheeled into the ER. Esther and Amber give Katherine encouraging words as she’s wheeled off. Gloria sits in a wheelchair, waiting to be seen by a doctor. She makes a call to the press, telling the reporter she’ll give her an exclusive because she just helped save Katherine Chancellor’s life.

Kevin sits in the backseat of Clint’s car between Annie and Roger. Clint tells them to get him to shut up and stop acting like a six-year-old. Annie reminds Clint that Kevin is drugged. They hear on the radio that there were no fatalities in the explosion, meaning Esther and Katherine can identify them.

At the diner, Pearl, Joe Jr., and Murphy listen to the radio report about the explosion, where Marge’s name is mentioned as one of the possible survivors. They all grab their coats and head out to Memorial Hospital.

In Sharon’s room, she tells Jack he is so good to her. They kiss passionately, but Jack pulls away, telling Sharon this is not what she needs right now. Sharon insists that it is what she needs, and tells Jack not to say no to her. They hit the bed, but in the middle of making love Sharon calls out Nick’s name instead of Jack’s. He stops making love to her and dresses. Sharon apologizes, but Jack says this is probably for the best. He leaves.

Jill, Billy, and Chloe arrive at the hospital. Chloe is so happy her mother is okay. Esther tells Jill that she was right about Roger, but that she’s wrong about Katherine – she is still alive, and she’s here at the hospital.

A reporter arrives to interview Gloria. Gloria tells her that it is, thanks to her that Katherine is alive. She claims that she and Katherine are the best of friends. Amber stands nearby, listening and rolling her eyes.

Esther tries to convince Detective Gil and Jill that “Marge,” is really Katherine. When Jill still won’t buy it, Esther starts screaming and jumping up and down. Chloe asks for a sedative for her mother.

Michael, Lauren, Jana, and Daniel arrive at the hospital and find Gloria. She tells them she went through a wall. Jana wants to know where Kevin is. She gets very upset and tells Amber she should have put a stop to this nonsense a long time ago, because that woman isn’t Katherine. Daniel and Michael go out to look for Kevin. Gloria tells Michael to bring him home.

Nick and Phyllis discuss what to have for dinner, and agree on pizza. Nick goes upstairs to look the number up on the Internet. Nick’s phone rings, and it is Sharon. Phyllis answers the phone. Sharon is surprised. She tells Phyllis she thought she was calling Jack because he left his jacket there, but Phyllis tells Sharon she is getting tired of her games. She also tells Sharon she doesn’t know what she said to him tonight, but it lit a fire under him and he was very passionate when they got home.

In Katherine’s room at the hospital, she comes to. The doctor asks her if she knows what her name is and she says its Katherine Chancellor. She asks if she's in the hospital because her daughter put her there for observation. She tells the doctor she's been having senior moments. The doctor asks if she remembers the explosion, and Katherine says she doesn't. The doctor goes to inform her family that she is awake, but claiming she’s Katherine. Amber and Esther insist that she is Katherine. Jill gets frustrated and leaves.

Billy tells Chloe he thinks it’s sweet she cares for her mother so much. He tells her now they have someone who will love her just as much, too. Billy assures her that he won’t let Cane take Delia away. They tell Esther they have moved in together, and she thinks that is wonderful. She tells Chloe it is no wonder why she loves Billy so much.

Michael and Daniel arrive at the explosion scene. They ask Detective Gil about Kevin, but the Detective tells them there are no human remains. They file a missing persons report. Michael tells Daniel his brother is probably doing something ridiculous right now.

Michael and Daniel head back to the hospital, breaking the bad news that they couldn’t find Kevin. They tell Jana it’s good that he wasn’t at the motel, but she is frantic. She thinks Clint must have done something to him. Suddenly, Detective Gil arrives and asks if anyone knows anything about this. He presents them with a picture of Kevin holding the bomb on the motel couch. They are all shocked.

Jack runs into Jill at the coffeehouse. She is disappointed in his flat spirit. She suggests he sit down for coffee with her, that they can go back to being mortal enemies tomorrow. Jack says it is a good idea, and joins her.

Clint tells Kevin it is time to go back into the trunk. He screams and begs for them not to put him in there, but they pick him up and put him in anyway.

The doctor tells Katherine she has some cuts and bruises, but otherwise she is okay. He tells her she has some visitors, and Murphy comes into the room. He sits down beside her and tells her how worried he has been about her. Katherine is confused and asks if she knows him.

Gina warns Amber to stay away from Clint. However, Amber still wants to help Katherine and ignores the warning. Daniel is upset because Amber is putting herself in danger to help Katherine.

Phyllis asks Nick if he thought Sharon was behaving strangely at the party. She tells him she saw Sharon swipe a silver picture frame from the party and that's she's concerned about Sharon. Nick tells her not to worry about Sharon before he goes to the gym.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon buys a coffee. She looks in her purse and discovers the silver picture frame. She is uncertain how it got there. Kevin comes up behind her to compliment the frame, and Sharon startles.

At the Chancellor mansion, Jill tries to convince Chloe to stay. She tells Chloe that both Jack and Billy are using her. She says that Jack wants her to move into the Abbott mansion to ensure Cordelia is raised as an Abbott. Jill tells Chloe she should stay there with her and Esther where she and Delia are loved and supported.

Billy is surprised Jack could convince Chloe to marry him and move into the mansion. Jack admits he told Chloe that he thought Billy had feelings for her. Billy is angry, but Jack reminds him that if he doesn't try to make the marriage work with a woman who is crazy about him, he may lose her and Delia to Cane.

Billy meets with Chloe at the Chancellor mansion. Chloe tells him that she and Delia are a package deal. She tells him he needs to try to make the marriage work or she won't marry him and move into the mansion. Billy finally tells her he will try. He says he'll move in with her and Delia. They have an awkward hug.

Clint unties Esther and gives her a ransom note to give to Jill. He tells her if she messes up, he will kill Katherine, then Annie, and then he'll hunt her down and kill her too. Esther is panicked, but Katherine tells her to just do her best.

Amber tells Kevin about Clint. They find a mint wrapper they believe might lead them to his location. They call the company and find out where they deliver. Daniel tries to stop them.

Gina meets with Jill and tells her that Clint is back in town. Jill believes he and Marge are working on another scheme.

Nick runs into Sharon at the club. He asks her if she took the picture frame from the party, and she comes up with a reasonable explanation, telling Nick she wanted to have it engraved for Victor's birthday, but Nick isn't sure she's telling the truth. Later, when Nick sees Phyllis, he tells her Sharon is fine.

Esther finds Jill and tells her that Roger and Clint are keeping Katherine for ransom. Jill refuses to pay a dime, though, because she believes Esther is being conned. She tells Esther Clint won't kill anyone.

Katherine tries to convince Roger to let her go in exchange for a handsome reward. Amber and Kevin knock on the door and Clint panics. He sends Annie out to talk to them. She convinces Amber and Kevin that she hasn't seen Katherine before they move on.

Esther Discovers Katherine

Annie tells Katherine Roger has been married many times before and he'll take everything Esther has and break her heart in the process. Katherine feels helpless to help her dear friend.

At the mansion, Jill tries to tell Esther once again that Roger is conning her, but Esther doesn't want to believe it. Jill receives flowers from Jeff and she runs out of the house to confront him.

Gloria calls Jeff again and leaves him a message telling him she is free. Michael tries to get Gloria to walk away from Jeff in order to make a new start for herself, but Gloria says she likes the games they play and she loves him. She tells Michael and Lauren she will no longer be staying with them and leaves to see Jeff at the Athletic Club.

At the club, Jill confronts Jeff in his room. She is furious with him, telling him there is nothing going on between them, and that she only slept with him as a one-time thing. Jeff tells her he loves it when she gets mad. They end up in a passionate kiss.

Chloe tells Esther she really messed up with both Billy and Cane, but she wanted to do the best she could for her baby. Delia begins to cry as Roger arrives. Roger tries to get Esther to sell her half of the estate to Jill so they can move to a new home, but Esther refuses to do so, telling him it is out of the question. Roger then pushes her to go on their honeymoon, but Esther tells him she wants to wait because Chloe needs her. Chloe comes back downstairs as Roger is leaving, angry. Chloe tells her mom she should go after Roger, so she does.

Billy asks Lily if she and Cane are going to get back together now that Chloe is out of the way. Lily evades the question, and Billy takes that as a, "yes." Lily says they aren't going to get back together, but it isn't his business anyway. Billy tells Lily he is going to help Chloe help raise Delia.

At the coffeehouse, Cane tells Niel that Delia isn't his child. He explains to him the whole mess that was created. He also tells Niel that his feelings for Lily haven't changed, and that he wants to get back together with her. Niel tells him to leave Lily out of the mess, that she's been through enough already.

Later on at the coffeehouse, Karen and Niel discuss Ana and Tyra. Karen expresses her frustration with Niel not telling Tyra about the adoption as well as lying to the police for her. She finally admits she saw Niel kiss Tyra. Niel tries to tell her it isn't what it seemed, but Karen isn't buying it. Karen tells Niel he shouldn't have married her if he didn't love her and storms off.

Katherine uses Annie's bitterness and frustration against Roger and Clint to help her escape. Annie unties Katherine, but when she goes to get her purse, Roger walks in, wondering what is going on. Esther comes in just behind him and wants to know what is going on as well, especially after she sees Kay.

Michael tells Lauren he is anxious to have life be normal for just a little while for a change.

Gloria goes to surprise Jeff at his room only to find Jill there. The two of them get into a fight over Jeff, but soon realize he isn't worth it. Gloria leaves angry. Jill starts to leave, then gets sucked back in, saying she does like sticking it to Gloria. She falls back into bed with Jeff.

Gloria tells Michael and Lauren that it is over between her and Jeff and asks them if she can stay with them for a while until she finds her own place.

Esther and Katherine have an emotional reunion. Annie introduces herself to Esther as Roger's wife. Esther demands to know what Roger is doing. He tries to explain, but Esther doesn't buy it. She slaps him and they prepare to leave. Clint arrives, slams the door shut and tells everyone that no one is going anywhere. He tells Katherine she really messed up and now everyone must really suffer because of it.

While Billy holds Cordelia, Chloe tells him she lied because she was afraid if he knew, he'd run. Billy admits before Cordelia was born he was scared, but now he wants to raise her with Chloe. He asks Chloe to marry him and to fight for custody of their daughter.

In the bookstore, Cane asks Lily if she will help him raise Cordelia. He also asks her if she will marry her, and she is stunned.
