The Young and the Restless

Estella's Arraigned

2009-06-25T19:51:00.000-07:00

Victor calls Victoria and asks her to come over. Ashley comes into the room and Victor advises her not to go to the courthouse today where Estella's arraignment is being held because it might upset her. Victor remarks that he doesn't think the case is airtight against her. Adam walks through the front door and when asked where he was, he tells his father he needed some fresh air. He admits he didn't sleep much last night and Victor assures him he isn't alone - he's going to keep looking for a way for Adam to get his sight back. Adam goes upstairs. Victor remembers when he found out Hope was pregnant and how she was afraid she could pass on her condition to her baby. Victor says he feels like he failed both Hope and Adam and he doesn't blame Adam for being angry.

At the coffeehouse, Nikki tells J.T. she thinks Estella was framed by Adam. J.T. wonders if there is any evidence to back this up and Nikki admits there isn't anything solid yet. Victoria comes over and they continue to debate on whether or not Adam could be scaring Ashley. Victoria tells them they might as well all go spit on Sabrina's grave! She leaves to get more coffee and J.T. explains to Nikki that Victoria has been upset about Sabrina lately.

At the coffeehouse, Noah sees Rafe and asks him how he can become an emancipated minor! Rafe tells him he has to be able to support himself and he also has to have a place to live. Rafe tells Noah to come by his office later because he's due in court for Estella's arraignment. Noah receives a call from Nick, requesting Noah meet him and Sharon at the Club. Nick tells Noah they have important news to tell him. Noah agrees to meet them at the Club.

Sharon and Nick sit in the dining room at the Club and Nick talks about how their lives are coming together - they've found a house and soon they will have the paternity results. Noah arrives and they tell him they've found a house to buy - they can all live together as a family again. Noah says the house sounds nice, but he isn't going to move in - he doesn't want to live with them! Noah says he doesn't want Summer to go through what he went through with visitations. Noah tells them that they'll probably screw up the baby as well! He goes on to say he's going to file for emancipation. Sharon points out that they haven't abused or neglected them and thinks Noah's over-reacting. She says family therapy would be a better choice. Nick wants to know if Noah has filed yet and Noah admits he hasn't, but he's talked to a lawyer. Nick accuses Noah of wanting to file for emancipation in order to live with Eden. Noah tells them it isn't about Eden - they just don't understand. Nick says Noah shouldn't be in such a rush to grow up, but Noah says he isn't going to continue talking with them if they are only going to make fun of him.

In her room at the Club, Mary Jane talks to her kitty about how she is going to live happily with Jack, but sometimes men just need a little nudging! Jack comes in and wants to know what the important business is? Mary Jane strips and asks what's more important than keeping the CEO of the company happy? They kiss and head for the bed to make love. After making love, Mary Jane imagines she tells Jack she's falling for him and he reciprocates the sentiment. In reality, Jack's phone ring and Mary Jane asks if it's Phyllis? Jack is confused by her question. Mary Jane tries to make love to him again, but Jack stops her. He reiterates that their relationship is only about sex and he doesn't want to see her get hurt. Mary Jane says she has no intention of getting hurt. She tells Jack she'll see him later and shows him out. She tells kitty that it's happening, but she needs to take it slow.

Heather comes to Adam's room and wonders if everything is okay - he sounded very upset on the phone. Adam apologizes for how he acted yesterday. He tells Heather that thanks to Victor leaving him in prison - where he was stuck in the eyes with needles - he is no longer a candidate for a trial for his eye disease. Adam blames all of his troubles on Victor. Heather tells him they will have a life together in the future, but Adam says he's useless now. Heather assures Adam he is intelligent, caring, and that she loves him. They kiss passionately and make love. Adam tells her she's the only person he trusts now.

J.T. and Victoria arrive at the Ranch. Victoria tells Victor it was very difficult for her to learn that he had Sabrina's statue removed and to see him take her portrait down. Victor admits it was hard for him, too. He wants Victoria to help him rebuild his art collection and Victoria is moved. She says that this action shows her that her father understands and that she's going to make Sabrina very proud. When Victoria leaves, J.T. thanks Victor for doing that - it means a lot to Victoria and made her happy. He tells Victor Nikki believes Estella was framed. Victor wonders who else could have set up Estella. Victor wonders about Mary Jane. They discover Mary Jane has been at the Ranch quite often! Victor says he'll take it from here. J.T. leaves. Adam listens as Victor calls Mary Jane and arranges to meet with her outside his home.

At the courthouse, Estella is upset and Nikki tries to reassure her. They are both surprised when Ashley appears and says Estella will be brought to justice! Estella goes into the courtroom and Nikki tells Ashley Estella was framed - most likely by Adam! Ashley says Adam has been there for her and her baby many times and couldn't have framed Estella. Rafe appears and tells Ashley the charges against Estella will be thrown out, but it won't undo the emotional stress that she and Victor have put Estella through. Rafe goes into the courtroom and is able to get Estella out of prison on bail. Before she leaves, Ashley tells Estella she might be free for now, but it won't last. Ashley demands to know why Heather didn't oppose bail and Heather tells her Estella has no prior record, is not a flight risk, and the evidence is circumstantial. Nikki tells Ashley an innocent woman is being punished because she and Victor cannot see who is really trying to hurt her.

Jack walks into the Club dining room in time to hear Noah tell his parents they are too screwed up to handle their own lives, let alone his. Jack comes over and says it's a big deal to become an emancipated minor and asks to speak with Noah alone. He tells Noah his parents love him. Noah says they ruined so many people's lives, including Jack's. Jack denies this, but Noah doesn't believe it. Jack encourages Noah to wait a few weeks to make a final decision on becoming emancipated. Noah agrees and leaves. As Jack walks back over to Sharon and Nick, Sharon get s call notifying her that the paternity results are in. Jack says he knows Sharon hopes Nick is the father and he hopes she gets her wish.

At the coffeehouse, Victoria expresses her excitement about rebuilding her father's collection. J.T. sets some ground rules - no more meeting with strange guys in dark alleys! Victoria decides which piece she will acquire first and makes a call about it. The same man who threw the glass when he found out Daniel was out on bail takes the call!

Victor meets with Mary Jane. He says she's crossed boundaries before and now she's doing it again - getting involved with his family, wandering on his property, and stabbing him in the back - does she think she's going to get away with it?! Victor asks her several questions, including if she recognizes the spot - where Sabrina's statue was. She doesn't understand what he's talking about. He tells her the statue was mutilated and she denies having anything to do with it. Victor tells her to keep focused on Jack Abbott alone.

Nikki talks to Rafe after court. She says she suspects Adam of framing Estella. She tells him about how Adam has lied to her and how Sabrina's voice was coming out of his computer. Rafe is definitely interested.

Noah Wants to Divorce His Parents

2009-06-24T21:45:00.000-07:00

Ashley arrives at Restless Style looking for Abby. Abby's there doing a photo shoot today. Abby appears and her mother tells her she looks beautiful. They hug. Abby expresses concern about all of the stress Ashley has been under. Ashley assures her it's over now - Estella has been arrested. Abby says she still cannot believe Estella did all of those things and still thinks it may be Adam.

Kevin visits Jana in jail. He informs her and Michael he did a successful speaking engagement at the school today. Michael informs them he set up a meeting with a judge to try to get her to reconsider letting Jana out on bail. Michael heads out. Jana says she cannot believe she's back in jail again, but Kevin assures her they'll get her out of there.

Noah and Eden stand outside of Crimson Lights as Noah prepares to meet Abby at the photo shoot. Eden remarks that Abby would never let her be a part of something like that. Noah asks Eden to meet him at Restless Style after her shift at Crimson Lights and she agrees to after Noah promises to make Abby behave.

At the counter inside the coffeehouse, Amber gives Daniel a pen and piece of paper and tells him to write down all of the people who might want to see him crash and burn. Daniel is stumped - he can't think of a single person who would want to set him up for murder! Amber wonders if someone is trying to get Daniel out of the way so he or she can get at her. Daniel tells Amber this doesn't have anything to do with her. Kevin comes in and Daniel apologizes for Jana being in jail. Kevin says he knows Daniel didn't mean for any of this to happen. As they talk, some teen girls come into the coffeehouse and tell Kevin they saw him speak at their school today about the silver chipmunk - he's awesome!

Heather arrives at the Ranch and Victor lets her in, but tells her to make her visit with Adam short because another specialist is coming to see him. Dr. Donahue arrives and Heather goes up to tell Adam he is there after she is introduced to him.

Adam is on his phone in his room with Dr. Taylor, trying to get more botox. Adam is frantic and demands the doctor cancel his surgery to bring him more botox or he'll be telling the medical board about what he's done! Heather knocks on the door and lets herself in. She tells Adam Dr. Donahue is here and she is puzzled by his not wanting to be examined again. Adam tries to get Heather to help him cut off his ankle bracelet, but she won't do that for him. She tells him he'll just go back to jail. Heather tells Adam to give the doctor a chance and leaves. Victor comes in and Adam asks him why he hates him, why he keeps setting him up to fail. Victor tells Adam they owe it to Hope to take advantage of this opportunity. Victor tells Adam to come downstairs and leaves the room.

Adam listens around the corner as the doctor tells Victor he has advanced equipment and that it can detect if Adam has RP for sure. Adam imagines what will happen when the doctor tells Victor Adam has been faking all along. Adam turns to go back up the stairs, but Victor stops him.

Michael arrives at the coffeehouse and chats with Eden. He tells her he's so proud of her for her grades - he knows how hard it has been on her. Eden says she still misses her dad sometimes. Michael asks Eden if she is still with Noah and proceeding with caution. Eden doesn't want to have that talk with him, so he tells her Lauren is always available for her to talk to. He tells her she shouldn't be in a rush to grow up and she's welcome with him and Lauren as long as she likes. Eden and Michael head over to Daniel, Amber, and Kevin and Michael is somewhat puzzled about Kevin's new popularity. Kevin gets a call about another speaking engagement and Michael hopes this will help Jana's case. Amber tells Kevin she is proud of him and Kevin tells her it's all because she got him on the radio show. They agree that one of their enemies might be trying to set Daniel up. Michael advises Daniel not to make one false move or he will end up with his bail revoked. Amber is up to something on her computer and goes off by herself. Daniel tells Kevin he has an idea on how to find out who is setting him up - they need to get the victim's cell phone from the evidence room. Daniel wants Kevin to go get it, saying, "Do it for Jana!"

Noah comes into the Restless Style office not completely pleased with his look. Ashley and Abby love his look, however! Ashley leaves and Abby warns her to be careful around Adam as she does so. Noah and Abby finish their photo shoot and talk about which one of them is more spoiled! Abby says she heard Nick and Sharon are back together. Noah is skeptical about how long it will last. He asks Abby if she can keep a secret - he's thinking about divorcing his parents! Abby tries to point out the downside of living on his own, but Noah says he doesn't mind - he wants to be free. Eden comes in and Abby blurts out that this must be Eden's idea. Noah tells Abby it was his idea, not hers. Abby says if Noah should be emancipated from anyone, it should be Eden! Noah escorts Abby out and tells Eden to ignore her.

Ashley arrives home at the Ranch and tells Victor to feel the baby kicking, but he can't feel it! Adam and Dr. Donahue come downstairs and the doctor informs Victor this has been a waste of time because Adam has puncture wounds in his eyes. He says it seems Adam has been injecting something into his eyes! Victor demands to know what kind of monster Adam is and accuses him of being the one who has been tormenting Ashley. Adam says the people who beat him up in prison also stuck him in the eyes with hypodermic needles! Adam also denies being the one who is scaring Ashley. Victor asks the doctor if Adam could have injected himself in the eye with something in order to fool other doctors. Dr. Donahue informs him the tests show Adam has been suffering with the eye disease for quite some time and he will become permanently blind. He tells Victor Adam cannot participate in the trial because of the damage that was done to his eyes from the injections. While Adam absorbs the information, Victor says he's sorry to hear about this.

Michael runs into Heather before he is about to meet with the judge. Heather informs Michael she's re-opening the murder case against Jana! Michael tells her they should deal with one case at a time.

Amber discovers she may have a cyberstalker. She texts her former partner, Allie to see if she may have a cyberstalker as well.

Michael goes to visit Jana in jail and informs her that Judge Collins is leaning towards re-opening her old murder case. He says Heather really wants a conviction this time. Jana cries. She says she knew this would happen - she took someone's life. Michael reminds her she was sick at the time. He says she's done so many good things - she helped Kevin turn his life around and they're not going to let her slip through their fingers! Jana says she's lucky to have Michael and Kevin in her life, but Michael says they are the lucky ones.

Ashley tells Victor Adam couldn't have done all of those things to scare her. Victor feels guilty that he didn't get Adam out of jail sooner - he could see he was getting beaten up. Adam throws a book across his room in frustration. Ashley comes in and tells him how sorry she and Victor are. She assures him he'll get through this and she tells him since he's been there so many times for her and her baby, she's going to be there for him through this. Adam cries on Ashley's shoulder.

Money Found At Crimson Lights

2009-06-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

Nick and Sharon get ready for their day in their room at the Club. Nick wants to make love instead of going house hunting, but Sharon convinces him to go by reminding him that Summer is waiting for him. They talk about Noah and how he will volunteer at the Rec Center this summer. They kiss. Sharon asks Nick if he's told Phyllis they're taking Summer house hunting today and Nick admits he hasn't told her yet.

Jana, Daniel, Kevin, and Amber are in the apartment talking. Jana and Daniel are going to meet with Michael, but Daniel plans to go visit Phyllis first and fill her in on what's going on. Daniel and Jana leave while Kevin and Amber stay behind. There's a knock at the door - it's Aucker, the FBI agent - and he's got a search warrant to search the apartment for the missing money! Kevin says it's odd that it's the do-gooders that are in trouble this time instead of them, and Amber agrees.

At the Chancellor Mansion, Nina comes downstairs and inquires if the lab has called back yet. Katherine tells her they haven't. They wonder whether Jill is trying to cover something up, but Katherine points out that she was just as surprised the records were missing as they were. Katherine wonders if Nina will tell Jill that Violet wasn't in town when the babies were switched, but Nina wants to wait to tell her. The lab calls and tells Nina the man who dealt with Phillip's case before has disappeared after it was proven that he falsified documents! Jill comes into the room during the call. Nina tells Katherine and Jill what's going on and she says now she knows something is going on. Jill defends Cane, but Nina says she didn't say Cane was lying - she said someone was lying and that someone doesn't want them to know who's buried in Phillip's grave. Nina and Jill argue about whether or not to exhume Phillip's body. Jill says it nearly killed her when she had to exhume what she thought was her mother's body, this would kill her - she forbids it! Nina tells Jill it's not up to her. Katherine points out it doesn't really matter who is buried in Phillip's grave because they all love him. Nina becomes frustrated and yells, "I want to know who's in that coffin!" Jill finally agrees to the exhumation so that they can find out if Nina's son has Huntington's, but Jill insists that no other DNA tests should be done. Katherine agrees with Jill, and Nina agrees to the stipulation.

Cane leaves a worried message for Phillip at Jimmy's. Lily comes in and asks Cane if he's still worried about what Nina's doing. Cane says his mom will take care of it, but Lily points out that he tossed and turned all night in his sleep last night. Lily wonders what is really going on and Cane tells her about how it was growing up without a family and watching other kids in their families. Cane says it feels good to belong to a family now and he's afraid it will all disappear. Lily assures him that he's a Chancellor and her husband and it won't change.

Daniel visits Phyllis at Restless Style and they engage in some small talk before he tells her what's going on. Phyllis admits Nick told her about Victoria being involved in an art scheme. Daniel tells her it is the same thing. Phyllis tells Daniel to stay out of trouble and to be careful. Daniel then asks about Summer and Phyllis says she is doing okay, but she also wonders why daddy isn't tucking her into bed anymore. Daniel goes to say hello to Summer before he leaves Restless Style to meet with Michael.

Mary Jane and Jack sit down at a table at the Club for breakfast. Mary Jane becomes annoyed when Jack takes a phone call from Phyllis, leaving the table so he can talk with her privately. She sees Sharon at the bar and goes over to her and apologizes for her behavior the last time she saw her. Mary Jane congratulates Sharon on her reunion with Nick - she's a sucker for love stories. Mary Jane inquires if they plan on staying together - is she done with Jack? Sharon is shocked to hear that Mary Jane and Jack are seeing each other again. Mary Jane tells Sharon Phyllis said she wouldn't stay with Nick and might go back to Jack. Sharon tells Mary Jane not to listen to Phyllis. Jack comes over and Sharon asks to speak with him privately. Mary Jane excuses herself to make a phone call. Sharon asks Jack if they are okay. Jack admits it was hard for him to watch Sharon leave with Nick the other day, but he will always be there for her. They hug and Mary Jane watches. Sharon inquires about him and Mary Jane and tells him that she wants him free and clear. Jack says he's not ready for anything serious with, "that woman!" Mary Jane comes over and tells Jack she needs to head to Restless Style and kisses him. After Mary Jane leaves, Sharon tells Jack Mary Jane is infatuated with him. Jack says Mary Jane isn't the bunny-boiler type!

Jana and Daniel meet with Michael at Jimmy's. He asks them about what happened on that night and Daniel admits he touched the gun. He also tells Michael he didn't see the money or Victoria. Daniel mentions the man with the ski mask and Jana tells Michael that's who Aucker should be looking for. Michael tells them if Aucker isn't doing his job, they will. Michael discovers the dead man had a cell phone on him with Daniel's number in the contact list. He says the DA isn't going to arrest them right now, but they are still suspects and he wants them to live the lives of saints until the money is found.

Nick arrives at Restless Style to pick up Summer and Phyllis is calm. He tells her that they are going to look for a house today. Phyllis isn't so sure this is a good idea because it's so soon after Nick moved out. Nick points out that Summer can't come to the Club for visitation and that things are going to change and need to be stable for Summer. Phyllis tells him leaving his family and hooking back up with his ex is anything but stable! Just then, Summer appears with George, the photographer. He suggests putting Summer on the cover of Restless Style, but Phyllis is reluctant. George says Summer would be a great cover for a magazine on teens and kids and Nick agrees. Nick suggests they do some test shots. Mary Jane walks in on what appears to be a close moment between the family.

Kevin and Amber go to the coffeehouse and they are relieved not to find the cops there. Amber follows Kevin into the back room for more sweetener and they discover the briefcase full of money! Kevin speculates this is the money the feds are searching for. Amber and Kevin agree it had to be planted there because there's no way Daniel or Jana would hide it there. Aucker comes in with a search warrant for the coffeehouse. As he is searching the back room, Michael, Daniel, and Jana come in. Amber and Kevin gesture wildly, but Aucker comes out with the briefcase full of money. Daniel insists he doesn't know how it got there. Michael commands him not to talk. Daniel is placed under arrest and Michael calls Phyllis to tell her what's happening.

Phyllis hangs up and says she has to leave at Restless Style. Nick wants to know what's going on and Phyllis tells him Daniel has been arrested. She tells him it's got something to do with that art scam Victoria got caught up in. Nick insists on driving Phyllis. She finally agrees and they ask Mary Jane to watch Summer for them. Nick also calls Sharon to inform her on what's going on. Mary Jane tells Summer not to worry about daddy not living with mommy anymore because Auntie Mary Jane will take care of everything and that everyone will end up with whom they are supposed to be with - happily ever after!

Jill calls Cane and he takes the call at Jimmy's. She tells him Phillip's body is being exhumed to test for the Huntington's gene and that no other DNA testing will be done. She says no one disbelieves Cane. Cane calls Phillip again, but he still isn't home. Cane leaves a message, saying it's urgent.

Nina makes a call to the lab and asks them to do another DNA test on the body when it is exhumed!

Paul Receives A Restraining Order!

2009-06-11T21:22:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Thursday June 11, 2009:

At the hospital J.T. wonders why on earth he let Victoria go undercover. Nikki arrives and wants to know what happened! The doctor comes out and says Victoria is fine, but they are going to do a CT scan to make sure. She also says they need to observe her because she's had a serious head injury in the past. Nikki calls Victor to alert him to what is going on.

Daniel and Jana try to explain the situation with the art piece to Kevin and Amber. Amber and Kevin are both shocked that Daniel would risk his life over a painting! Daniel finishes his story by telling everyone he has been framed for fake Aucker's murder and he's in a lot of trouble now. Daniel insists they need to get out of there now because the apartment is the first place the FBI is going to look for him. Daniel opens the door to leave, but the FBI is already there! Harold Aucker wants to know where Daniel was tonight and he tells the agent he was at home sketching. Aucker tells Daniel Victoria has been injured and Daniel inquires if she's all right. Aucker also informs him that a murder took place. In response to this, Daniel asks if Victoria saw anything. Aucker insists that because Daniel didn't ask who was murdered, he must already know! Daniel says he assumed it was someone involved in the art forgery scheme. Aucker shows Daniel a picture of the victim and Daniel confirms that this is the man who scammed him. Aucker leaves telling Daniel he will be keeping his eye on him and he plans to prove that Daniel and the rest of them are lying. Amber tells Daniel they can leave town now, but Daniel points out her designs are just starting to take off. Amber says she'll give all of that up. Kevin points out Jana is an accessory to murder - she told Daniel where the sting was going down! Daniel decides it's best to tell the truth.

Heather and Paul sit at the coffeehouse and talk. She teases him about being hauled down to the police station. Paul explains that he did some digging in Mary Jane's past and some things just didn't add up. He says when he confronted her about it, she overreacted, which makes him believe she's hiding something even more. Paul tells Heather what he found out and she wonders why this is so important to him. He tells her he swears he knows Mary Jane from somewhere - there's a strange connection. Heather says she hates it when pieces of the puzzle don't fit together. Suddenly, Mary Jane approaches with a man and Paul is served a restraining order! Heather is shocked any judge would grant a restraining order. She gives Mary Jane a dirty look as Paul is forced to leave the Club to obey the order.

At the Ranch, Victor thanks Adam for looking out for Ashley while he was away. Adam tells Victor it's the least he could do after everything Victor's done for him. Ashley appears and flashes back to falling down the stairs. Victor asks her what's wrong. She tells Victor she had a nightmare while he was gone and Adam suddenly asks her if she wants some tea. Victor gets a call from Nikki, informing him about Victoria, and he heads to the hospital. Adam remembers the night of the accident. Ashley comes in with some tea and toast and they sit down. She tells Adam she just felt the baby kick and puts his hand on her belly so he can feel it, too! Adam calls the doctor, who comes over. He asks the doctor how Ashley could be feeling the baby if there is none? The doctor tells Adam Ashley is having a hysterical pregnancy and it would be very traumatic for Ashley if he let her continue to believe she still has a baby inside her. He insists Adam needs to stop this now! Ashley appears and the doctor claims he's there to follow-up with her. He checks her out and tells her everything is as it should be. Ashley wants the doctor to meet Victor. When Ashley leaves the room to get some coffee for the doctor, he worries about what Victor will do if he finds out what's going on. Adam says he doesn't need to worry about Victor, but if he doesn't do what Adam wants, he needs to worry about him!

Victor joins J.T. and Nikki at the hospital. J.T. explains to him how he found Mary Jane on the property and that's why he was late getting to the bar and why he wasn't there when Victoria got injured.

Aucker visits Victoria in her hospital room. He asks her what happened. She tells him she went into the alley and called Balfour's name, she heard someone running away, found the body, and then the crates fell on her. She says she only saw J.T. in the alley. Victor, Nikki, and J.T. come into the room and Victor asks J.T. to escort the FBI agent out. Victor and Nikki visit with their daughter while J.T. tells Aucker to stay away from his wife outside the room. Aucker insists J.T. can't stop him because it's a federal investigation. J.T. threatens him. Victor and Nikki return to the hallway where Paul has arrived. Paul apologizes for being so late and tells them about Mary Jane and the restraining order. Victor says this is the second time he's heard Mary Jane's name tonight and asks Paul what he's going to do. The doctor interrupts and tells them Victoria only has a concussion and she can go home tonight.

Daniel, Amber, Kevin, and Jana find Aucker at Jimmy's bar and tell him the whole truth about what happened. Aucker accuses Daniel of being the fake Aucker's accomplice! Daniel tells him some man with a ski mask shot the victim, but Aucker says they found the gun and it has Daniel's fingerprints on it. Daniel admits he was afraid the fake Aucker would use the gun, so he picked it up and threw it away before he ran off. Aucker asks what happened to the briefcase of money and Daniel says he doesn't know anything about that. Aucker tells them the bottom line is two men went into the alley, only one came out alive, and $100,000 and a painting is missing. Before he leaves, Aucker tells Daniel if the money shows up in his possession, he's going to jail for a very long time!

Before Victor leaves the hospital, Nikki asks him how Ashley is doing. She admits she saw her talking to Sabrina's statue. He says perhaps Ashley finds it therapeutic. Nikki also tells him some strange things happened while he was away. Nikki tells him everything that happened - including how Adam told her Ashley went out with Jack when she stopped to check on her, how he sent the maid home with the night off, and how a strange doctor came to examine Ashley. Nikki says she feels badly for Adam, but she doesn't trust him - something was very wrong in that house last night. Victor assures her he will check it out.

As Paul and Nikki have coffee at Crimson Lights, she asks him if he's doing okay. He responds that the restraining order adds spice to his life. She's disappointed when she finds out Paul plans to keep digging into Mary Jane's pat. He assures Nikki he won't violate the restraining order, but now he's more determined than ever to figure out why Mary Jane gets so freaked out when he's around.

Mary Jane holds a picture of Paul next to her "enemies" scrapbook in her room at the Club. She says to herself out loud, "I can't do it. I don't want to be enemies with you, Paul."

The man wearing a ski mask goes into the coffeehouse and slips the briefcase full of money behind the counter!

Once back at the Ranch, Victor asks Adam and Ashley about the strange things that happened while he was away. Victor says he'd like to meet the new doctor and Ashley assures him he will. Ashley tells Victor the baby kicked earlier while he was out and she's sorry he missed it. Ashley heads upstairs. Victor stops Adam before he heads to bed and tells him Nikki mentioned he gave the maid the night off the other night. Adam says he did. Victor tells Adam he doesn't want him to be in the house alone with Ashley - he always wants someone else to be in the house as well. Adam wonders why Victor doesn't want him to be alone with Ashley. Victor reminds him that Ashley is fragile right now and Adam cannot see! After Victor goes upstairs, Adam whispers, "Sorry, Victor, but we're doing things my way now!"

Mary Jane - The Spy

2009-06-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday June 9, 2009:

Sharon awakens at the Club in bed while Nick emerges from the shower and joins her in bed. Sharon says that Jack will be worried about her because she didn't come home last night. Nick tells her he already knows.

Phyllis wakes up on her sofa to find Jack sitting in a chair beside her. Phyllis thanks Jack for taking her home from the Club and staying with her. She says J.T. will be bringing Summer home, so Jack decides to leave. Mary Jane watches Jack leave outside and whispers that Phyllis cannot steal her man!

Daniel talks to Jana on the phone and tells her he can't let the fake Aucker sell the forged painting. He tells Jana he's going to go to the ally to stop Aucker before he meets with Victoria. Daniel prepares to leave, but Amber comes in and starts kissing him, telling him they have to celebrate. Daniel tells Amber they can celebrate later - he needs to go out and get supplies. Amber says he's lying - he doesn't want her! Daniel is afraid another relationship talk is approaching. Amber tells Daniel they are celebrating the fact that one year ago Katy Pary told Amber she liked her designs. She shows him a bra design she made just for him and Daniel gives in and makes love to her. After making love, Amber talks about how great things are for them and how she was afraid of Kevin when they were on the run. Amber finally falls asleep. Daniel sneaks out. After he's gone, Amber sits up and asks, "Okay, Daniel, what are you up to?" She makes a phone call to someone and tells them she thinks they have trouble!

J.T. comes home after taking Summer home to Phyllis. He walks in on Aucker putting a wire on Victoria. J.T. is annoyed and angry that Victoria didn't talk to him about going undercover. J.T. forbids her to go undercover to catch the fake Aucker. Victoria tells him this decision is hers and she wants to do it - she feels Sabrina would tell her do it as well. The FBI agent assures J.T. that Vikki will be safe, but he's not convinced. Victoria says it's the right thing to do! J.T. says he admires Victoria's courage, but he's also scared. He finally agrees to let Vikki participate in the operation, but says he's going with her!

At the Ranch, Ashley waits to see Adam's friend, the doctor. She tells him she's anxious because she doesn't feel the baby as much, but admits she's not cramping as much as she was last night, either. Ashley heads upstairs to rest and wait for the doctor and the doorbell rings. Nikki has arrived and she confronts Adam about lying to her last night. Nikki insists on seeing Ashley now! She starts to head upstairs, but finds a towel on the floor and hands it to Adam before heading upstairs. Adam is relieved Nikki didn't see the blood on the towel. The doctor arrives and Ashley and Nikki come downstairs to meet him. Nikki is skeptical of the doctor, but Ashley wants to know that her baby is okay. The doctor examines her and says she and the baby are fine. He hands her some anti-anxiety medication, which Nikki is concerned about. Nikki thinks Ashley should get a second opinion, but she refuses to let Nikki call Olivia.

After Summer has been brought home, Mary Jane knocks on the door and wants to know how Phyllis is doing. Phyllis tells Mary Jane she doesn't want to discuss it in front of her daughter. She introduces Mary Jane to Summer and sends Summer upstairs to get a doll to show Mary Jane. Phyllis tells Mary Jane Nick came home last night, but only long enough to tell her that he's leaving her! Nick arrives at the door - ringing the doorbell - and Summer runs to him. Mary Jane leaves and Phyllis sends Summer to play with her dollhouse upstairs. Nick emphasizes he thinks it's important for his daughter to see him everyday and Phyllis agrees with him. Summer's new teacher arrives to drive her to school and tells Nick and Phyllis she loves their love story in Restless Style. After Summer's teacher goes upstairs with Summer, Phyllis tells Nick the teacher thinks they are a perfect couple and so did she. Nick says he wishes this didn't hurt Phyllis so much and he still has feeling for her. Phyllis tells Nick that she thinks he's making a mistake. Phyllis asks Nick to leave and he does. Outside, Mary Jane watches Nick leave and says to herself that Phyllis blew it - she chased him away! Inside, the teacher tells Phyllis Summer has been acting out in school - throwing fits when she doesn't get her way - and suggests Summer may need therapy. Phyllis assures her that they'll work it out. Summer and her teacher leave for school.

Jack and Sharon meet in the Club's dining room. Sharon tries to tell Jack she got in very late last night, but finally admits the truth - she didn't come home at all. Jack asserts he understands her ending up with Nick - it was fate. Sharon is afraid Jack will hate her, but Jack assures her that he will always love her. He says he knows raising the baby together is no longer in the cards, but if the baby is his, he will be a father to it. Jack tells Sharon not to feel guilty. Sharon suddenly feels the baby kick for the first time and Jack has to excuse himself - he is heartbroken.

Victor meets with a doctor who needs funding for stem cell research at the Club. Victor has bought the company and has provided the funding for the research. The doctor assures Victor he will do everything he can to make sure Adam regains his sight!

At the Ranch, the doctor goes upstairs to Adam's room. He tells Adam Ashley had a miscarriage and he doesn't know how Adam convinced her otherwise. Adam threatens the doctor with the letters Skye and her friends wrote about how the doctor sexually assaulted them. He tells the doctor if he does not keep quiet, he will show the letters to the AMA! Nikki enters and the doctor leaves. Nikki wonders where the staff is and Adam admits he gave them the night off. Nikki says she'll be back in a couple of hours to check on Ashley. Once she's outside, she calls Victor and asks him to call her ASAP.

Jack arrives at the tackhouse again and Mary Jane watches as he and Phyllis embrace. Jack tells Phyllis how he felt the baby kick when he was with Sharon on top of everything else. Phyllis tells him he doesn't deserve this. They are startled when a dead black bird comes crashing through the window and lands beside them!

Adam joins Ashley downstairs. Ashley is looking at baby clothes and feels relieved after seeing the doctor. She thanks Adam for helping her get through the night. Just then, Victor arrives and asks what Adam helped her get through? Ashley tells Victor how glad she is he's home. Victor reads Nikki's text when his phone signals him. Victor talks to the baby he thinks is inside Ashley's stomach and Adam watches and listens from around the corner.

Nick returns to the Club and meets Sharon. Sharon says she's sure Phyllis wants to kill her, but Nick says it'd be better if Phyllis were angry instead of in so much pain. Sharon tells Nick the baby kicked when she saw Jack earlier. They kiss.

As J.T. leaves the house to follow Victoria and Aucker on their mission, he sees Mary Jane cutting through the property. Mary Jane tells J.T. she was just taking a walk, but he grabs hold of her and tells her this is private property and she needs to tell him who she is and what she's doing here!

The Young and the Restless update for Friday June 5, 2009:

Jack stops by the Ranch and tells Adam he's going upstairs to see Ashley. Adam tells Jack that Ashley's sleeping and he shouldn't disturb her. Upstairs, Ashley dreams of Sabrina calling her name. Ashley goes out into the hallway where she finds a veiled Sabrina. Sabrina says, "Victor's mine, stay away!" Ashley screams and Jack hurries upstairs to check on her. Adam smirks. Ashley tells Jack she had a nightmare. She says she dreamed of Sabrina before and she was peaceful, but this time Sabrina wanted to kill her! Adam listens in on his laptop while Ashley tells Jack how Sabrina was wearing a veil and the purple gala dress she found on her bed on her birthday. Jack reassures Ashley it was just a dream. Ashley finds out Olivia sent Jack to check on her and she's angry about that, but Jack says they're just concerned about her. Jack suggests Ashley come home with him for a couple of days - just until Victor gets back, but Ashley doesn't want to leave the Ranch. Adam walks into the bedroom and tells Jack the storm is too bad to be driving a pregnant woman around in!

Gloria and Jeff continue to develop their plan to get revenge on Victor in their penthouse. Gloria is worried about taking Victor on. Jeff gets a call from his PI telling him Victor just left on his jet and Mary Jane's at the Club. Gloria and Jeff leave to go to the Club.

At the Club's bar, Sharon asks Mary Jane if there's a problem. Mary Jane explodes that there wouldn't be a problem if Sharon would just back off and leave Jack alone! Mary Jane tells Sharon that she's selfish and she doesn't appreciate Jack enough. Sharon tries to leave, but Mary Jane grabs her arm. Paul and Nikki intercede, but Mary Jane wants to know how Sharon could allow Jack to raise her baby that may not even be his! Before she leaves, Mary Jane tells Sharon to do the right thing for once and let Jack go. Nikki pulls Sharon aside and asks about Jack not being the only possible father, but Sharon tells Nikki she's had enough judgment for one night and leaves. Gloria plops down by Nikki and tells her that she's worried about Ashley being at the Ranch all alone without Victor in this storm. She wonders how Ashley and Victor are doing these days, and Nikki is baffled by Gloria's sudden concern for Ashley.

At the Club's bar, Jeff chats with Mary Jane. She brushes him off, thanks him for the drink, and walks away. Nikki wonders what Jeff is doing at the bar with Mary Jane and Gloria said she could never keep a leash on him. Nikki believes she and Jeff are trying to get revenge on Ashley and Gloria denies it adamantly.

Nick ponders on how to tell Phyllis what he's decided - he says there's no easy way to tell her. She comes to the realization that he wants to be with Sharon instead of her. Nick tells her not to shut down - to throw something, yell, or cry - let it out. Phyllis tells Nick even if she had any tears left, she wouldn't waste them on him. Phyllis says she doesn't understand why Nick is leaving her if it's not for Sharon. Nick reminds Phyllis that Sharon is with Jack, and Phyllis realizes that Nick wants to make himself available so that Sharon will leave Jack for him. She tells Nick not to deny the truth. Nick finally admits he's leaving Phyllis for Sharon, whether he wants to admit that or not. He says he thought his feelings for Sharon would fade, but they haven't done so. Phyllis says she bought into the fantasy, too. Nick says he wishes he could spare her this pain and tells Phyllis how grateful he was to find her after Cassie died. Phyllis wonders if she was merely a therapist with benefits, but Nick says he loves her - her passion and drive. He says he has history with Sharon, though, and a family. Phyllis becomes irate yelling that she and Summer didn't ask for this! She calms down, though, and wonders what she's going to tell Summer when she asks why daddy isn't living with them anymore. Nick offers to sit down with Phyllis and talk with Summer, but Phyllis tells him to leave and go to Sharon. Nick says he'll get a room at the Club. Phyllis tells him he can see Summer whenever he wants, but she won't be there.

While Jack argues with Ashley about staying at the Ranch, he gets a call from Phyllis. He tells Ashley he has an emergency and leaves. Adam tells Ashley to get some sleep before he leaves her room. In the hallway, Jack grabs Adam by the collar and tells him if anything happens to Ashley while he's gone, he's going to hold Adam personally responsible! After Jack leaves, Adam tells the maid to go home. She insists she was to stay and watch over him and Ashley, but Adam tells her there's no need to stay. She goes home.

Paul goes to Mary Jane's room to see if she's okay after her outburst downstairs at the Club. Mary Jane says she's tired of women like Sharon, women who string men along without a second thought about who gets hurt in the process. Paul remarks that it sounds like Mary Jane has been hurt before, but she evades the comment by telling Paul she's really tired. Paul is about to leave, but turns around and tells Mary Jane something inside of him is telling him he should care about her. Outside her door, Jeff sees Paul leaving Mary Jane's room and believes Paul is having an affair with her!

Jack arrives at the tackhouse. Phyllis tells Jack Nick has left for good this time for Sharon. Jack is convinced that Sharon won't leave him because she's committed to raising the baby with him. Phyllis tells Jack as soon as Sharon realizes she and Nick are getting divorced, she will leave Jack for Nick and the sooner they accept this, the easier it will be for both of them. Jack tells Phyllis he proposed to Sharon earlier that night, but she had reasons as to why she was not ready. Phyllis says Sharon was waiting to see what Nick was going to do! They talk about how they've both been in denial. Suddenly, Jack kisses Phyllis! They make love and Mary Jane watches them from the window outside. She has tears in her eyes.

At the Club, Sharon sees Nick going into his room. Nick tells her it's over between himself and Phyllis. Sharon tells him she still has her room there and she needs some time to think because she's so overwhelmed right now. Nick invites her in. Mary Jane sees Sharon go into Nick's room and says, "Poor Jack!" Inside Nick's room, he tells Sharon he left Phyllis because he is still in love with her. Sharon wonders if he still loves Phyllis, and Nick says a part of him will always love Phyllis, but not the same way he loves Sharon. Sharon says she should go, but Nick says he wants her, he wants them, and he wants it all back. He says he won't deny he has feelings for Phyllis, but he can't be devoted to her alone the way she wants him to be. Sharon says she can't believe this is real - that her dream has come true! They kiss and make love.

Nikki and Paul are downstairs at the Club. She tells Paul that Victoria called and she's worried about Ashley being at the Ranch alone in this storm with Victor being away, but she can't check on Ashley because she has the kids. Nikki decides to go over to the Ranch to check on Ashley and to meet Paul at home later.

Gloria and Jeff are back at the penthouse and compare their results. Gloria is disappointed because she didn't get any information out of Nikki. Jeff tells Gloria Mary Jane is sleeping with Nikki's fiance, too! They laugh out loud together.

Ashley is awakened from her sleep by Sabrina calling her name again. Ashley grabs a flashlight and begins to look for whoever is calling her. Ashley reaches the top of the staircase and hears someone call her name behind her. She turns around to see a veiled figure. She grabs the veil off the figure and sees Adam in a long black wig. Ashley's startled and falls down the stairs! Adam runs down the stairs and begs Ashley to wake up as Nikki begins to knock on the door to check on Ashley!

John Appears to All of His Children

2009-05-27T20:47:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Wednesday May 27, 2009:

Adam listens via his laptop while Olivia and Victor comfort Ashley after her nightmare about Sabrina. Victor asks Ashley if she can remember her dream, but she tells him she can't remember the details. Adam is frustrated because he wanted to make her nightmare come true! Olivia tells Ashley she had vivid dreams when she was carrying Nate and it's not a problem if it's not disturbing her sleep. Ashley admits she needs to sleep more, but she doesn't want to take drugs. Olivia suggests some lavender under her pillow and Victor offers to get her some. Ashley says she'll try to go back to sleep and Victor and Olivia leave the room.

Gloria and Jeff tromp into the coffeehouse while Gloria complains about how they had to spend four days getting home by boat and bus. Gloria wants to go to the Club to take a bath, but Jeff tells her they've been kicked out and their stuff has been put into storage until they pay! Jeff suggests Gloria sell her diamonds, but she says it's too risky. Jeff says she'll have to borrow money from Michael and Kevin or get a job. Jeff and Gloria search the classified ads and they discover a pent house apartment. Gloria says they have to keep the landlord from finding out they can't afford it, and Jeff loves the idea.

Jack is at home when Jill pays him a visit. She thanks him for helping her with the Caymans situation and then tells Jack they are both victims of Katherine's corporate greed. She says Katherine will never sell the Abbotts Jabot. Jill says she has a great business partnership idea, but Jack doesn't want to have anything to do with it. He tells Jill to talk to the "Mustache" about it! Jill tells Jack he's making a mistake as she leaves. After she's gone, John appears and says Jack could have been nicer to Jill. John says he's disappointed with both of his sons for being petty. Jack points out that Billy slept with Sharon, but John reminds Jack that he slept with Jill when she was married to his father as well. Jack says he doesn't want to talk about that. John reminds Jack to remember that no matter what, Billy is his brother.

Billy calls Chloe in the pool house. He gets her voicemail and he tells her that she's made her point - she and Delia need to come home now! Jill shows up at the pool house and asks Billy what Jack's problem is. She tells him how Jack blew her off when she said she had a great business proposal, and wants to know if Billy will talk to Jack for her. Billy tells his mother that he and Jack are not on good terms right now. Jill wonders where Cordelia is and Billy tells his mother that when he came home, Chloe and the baby were gone. Jill wants to know what Billy did this time, and Billy seems offended that she automatically thinks he did something wrong. Jill says she knows Chloe loves him, but wonders if he wants Chloe back. Billy says he doesn't want to hurt Chloe or lose Delia. Jill remarks that Cordelia will always be a part of his life and she can't blame Chloe for walking out on him because he cannot make a commitment. She tells him he needs to decide if he is in or out.

Raul and Mac chat outside by the pool at the Chancellor mansion. Raul wonders if Billy cheated on Chloe. Suddenly, Chloe appears. Raul offers to go talk some sense into Chloe, but Chloe says she doubts it would do any good. Mac offers to go and Chloe says she thinks it would be worse if she went. Esther comes out and Chloe tells her mother she is done being a doormat. Esther and Chloe go in and Raul tells Mac that perhaps Billy is not in love with Chloe. Raul wants Mac to go back to Washington with him.

Esther and Chloe talk outside. Chloe tells her mother that Billy has shut her out completely. She says she needs to set an example for Delia - she should not be treated this way. Raul tells Mac he was promoted at work and he'd like to hire her and work with her while they are planning their wedding. Mac says she's not ready to leave Genua City yet - she wants to spend more time with Katherine first. Raul worries about how they will see one another - he does not want to be separated from her again, but Mac says they'll figure it out. Mac walks over to Chloe and apologizes for the way things are going between her and Billy. Chloe says this is all Mac's fault. Mac insists it isn't her fault. Raul walks over and kisses Mac good-bye. When he leaves, Chloe says he's a nice guy - too bad he is clueless! Chloe says she's glad Delia is too young to know what is going on as she giggles nearby. Mac and Chloe talk about their childhoods - Chloe assumed Mac had it easy. Mac notes that Chloe really loves Billy. Chloe says that makes two of them. Mac says she doesn't love Billy like that anymore, but Chloe tells Mac that Billy doesn't know this.

Ashley sits and holds a pillow in her bedroom. John appears and greets Ashley. Ashley begins to talk to her father about how scared she is, and Adam is baffled, squinting at the laptop where Ashley appears to be talking to herself. Ashley tells her father how much she wants this baby and she doesn't know what she'll do if she loses it. John tells her not to put so much pressure on herself. She tells her dad that she remembers the dream and lied to Victor about it. She says the doorknob was rattling and Sabrina comes into her room wearing a black veil. She says that Sabrina wanted to smother her and picks up the pillow to do so. Ashley goes back to sleep and wakes up later in pain.

Downstairs, Victor and Olivia talk about having Ashley talk to a therapist again, but Victor doesn't want to push her into another nervous breakdown. Olivia suggests that Victor see a psychologist so that he can learn what signs to look for himself. Olivia gets on the phone to make the arrangements. Adam comes into the room and discusses Ashley's situation with Victor. As Olivia is getting off the phone, Ashley comes downstairs and announces she's bleeding - she's scared she might be losing the baby!

Jill runs into Gloria and Jeff at the coffeehouse and they all try to pretend they didn't lose everything. In the end, though, they all admit they are destitute. They promise one another they will tell no one how broke they are.

Esther sits down with Chloe to chat some more. Esther says she's known Mac a while and she believes she's a straight shooter - she doesn't play games. Chloe gets Billy's message and tells her mom he did not apologize. Esther asks her daughter if it's more important to be right or happy? Jill appears and says she loves having Cordelia at the house - she wished they'd never left in the first place. Jill advises Chloe not to give ultimatums if she is not prepared to live with the consequences - she says Billy is very confused and he could go either way at this point.

John appears to Billy in the pool house and tells him he has a lot of growing up to do! John asks Billy what he's going to do about Chloe and Delia. Billy says he doesn't know - does his father have any suggestions? There's a knock at the door and it's Mac. She wants to know why Billy isn't at the Chancellor mansion trying to get Chloe and his daughter back! Mac tells him if he wants to do right by his daughter, he'll go over there now and get them back. She reminds him that he does not want another man raising his daughter. Billy confronts Mackenzie about marrying Raul. She tells him she loves him, and even if Billy were available she'd marry him because she and Billy can't go back now.

Gloria and Jeff go to Restless Style to talk to the owner of the penthouse they want to rent - Phyllis! Phyllis is surprised they want to rent from her, but agrees to let them do so, provided they give her first and last month's rent and deposit as the lease calls for. Gloria and Jeff laugh about how great this is - there's no need to do any background checks. Phyllis points out that they didn't sign the check before she takes a phone call. Gloria and Jeff congratulate each other on their luck, but realize they only have about $100 after Phyllis cashes their check. Jack appears and he's shocked when Phyllis hands Gloria and Jeff keys as they leave. Phyllis wants to know what Jack wants and he says he wants to talk about Sharon's baby!

Raul Returns!

2009-05-22T21:36:00.000-07:00

Cane and Lily enjoy their morning in bed on their honeymoon. Lily feeds Cane fruit, and the talk about taking a walk on the beach. They make love. Afterward, Lily tells Cane she was afraid she'd never be able to trust a man again, but Cane changed all of that for her. She says she can't wait to get back home to start their married life together. Cane says he thought he'd never have a beautiful wife and a family, but because of Lily, he does. Lily says she feels safe with Cane, that she feels like he will protect her and not let anything bad happen to her. Cane says he'll always be there for her. They get out of bed and have a champagne toast. Lily says she doesn't know much about Australia, and she thinks they should go there before they start having kids.

Nina and Amber argue about what to put in the screenplay at the Chancellor mansion. Nina wants to focus on Katherine stealing Jill's baby and finding Cane later in life while Amber wants to focus on all the great things Katherine's done instead of her mistakes.

Murphy and Esther sit out by the pool while Mac and Katherine prepare the food. Katherine inquires about Chloe's visit yesterday and Mac says Chloe just wanted to make sure Mac wasn't encouraging Billy's behavior. She tells her grandmother that Billy will be backing off anyway because there's another guy. Mac says she was in Darfur with him and it could have gotten serious.

In the pool house, Billy asks Chloe a lot of questions, and she reveals to him that she visited Mac yesterday. Chloe tells Billy Mac is crazy about someone, but it's not him! Billy says Mac made this guy up to appease Chloe, but Chloe doesn't buy it. Chloe says she doesn't think Mac would lie. She says it must be difficult to hide a broken heart. Billy gets irritated and tells Chloe to chill out a bit.

At the Abbott mansion, Sharon is planning to go to Cassie's grave site. Jack offers to go with her, but she says she wants to go alone. Jack wonders if Nick will be there and Sharon says she's decided not to see him today. She tells Jack she's scared that she won't be able to talk about Cassie and not tell him about the baby that might be his!

Phyllis suggests that Nick go home to get some rest - he didn't sleep well last night. Phyllis says she assumes Nick will be meeting Sharon at Cassie's grave site later, but Nick tells her he can't reach Sharon. Phyllis offers to go with him to the cemetery, but Nick says he wants to go alone. He kisses her and heads out.

Nick goes to the Abbott mansion and tells Jack Sharon isn't responding to his phone calls. Jack tells Nick Sharon doesn't want to see him today - she wants to get through this alone. Jack says Sharon has her own reasons for wanting to do this alone, but Nick assumes it's because he wasn't there for her when Cassie died. Jack points out that Nick was grieving as well, but Nick continues to talk negatively about himself. Jack tells Nick his need to help Sharon isn't about Sharon, but is instead about him. Jack says this is Nick's "stuff," and he needs to deal with it and let Sharon be.

Billy and Chloe arrive at the Chancellor mansion for the barbecue and Katherine and Esther greet them. Mac goes to get some pool toys and Billy quickly says he'll help and follows her. Katherine inquires about how things are going for her and Billy. Chloe says they are better than when they started. Billy inquires as to why Mac called him yesterday and she tells him she found the karaoke tape. She suggests he let Delia listen to her "silly daddy" someday. Billy accuses Mac of making up her boyfriend to put Chloe at ease yesterday. Mac is angry; she gets up and storms away from him. Later, Billy apologizes for upsetting Mac. Mac tells Billy she had told him she'd moved on - what did he think she'd meant? She says of course she was with someone else and she cared very deeply for him. Billy wonders why Mac called him then? Mac says it was an impulsive thing to do and she wishes she could take it back - she doesn't know what she ever saw in him!

Amber, Chloe, and Nina sit at a table by the pool and chat. Amber asks what Phillip III was like, and Nina says he was a complicated person. Nina wonders how Cane figured out he was related to Jill. Chloe tells Nina to ask Amber about that because she was married to Cane. Amber wonders why Nina wants to get into all of that. Amber changes the subject and asks Chloe about Billy and Mackenzie. Chloe isn't happy that Billy is hitting on Mac in front of her entire family, and Amber wonders why Chloe puts up with the disrespect. Amber tells Chloe Billy doesn't deserve her! Nina pressures Amber to talk about Cane again, and Amber finally tells Nina Katherine began to have nightmares and finally realized she had switched the babies at birth. Amber explained how Katherine found Cane through a lot of Internet research and hired a psychic to help her.

Sharon goes to Restless Style and when Phyllis asks her if she's looking for Nick, Sharon said she already knows he isn't there - his car wasn't there. She asks Phyllis to keep Nick at the office for a while so that she can go to Cassie's grave alone. Phyllis says Nick is already at the grave site, so she can wait at Restless Style for a while if she wants. Phyllis inquires as to why Sharon wants to avoid Nick today and Sharon tells her it's best for everyone if she keeps her distance from Nick - she's back with Jack now and she's not living in the past anymore. Sharon thanks Phyllis for being hard on her when she was relying so hard on Nick, even though she resented her at times then. Phyllis admits she was selfish as well. They clear the air between them. Sharon assumes Nick is done at Cassie's grave now, so she's going to go have some time with her daughter.

Jack arrives at the barbecue and greet Katherine, telling her Sharon won't be attending because she's spending time at Cassie's grave. They go outside and everyone mills around for a while. Suddenly Jack says, "Raul Guiterrez! What is this, a Glo by Jabot reunion?" Everyone greets Raul and Billy introduces everyone. Raul is shocked that Billy has a wife and a baby now! Mac comes up behind Mac and says, "Raul?" They kiss passionately. Murphy notes that the kiss is some kiss hello! Billy stares in shock.

Sharon arrives at Cassie's grave and talks to her, saying she would have been in college now. Sharon begins to cry and Nick appears. Sharon told him she didn't want to see him and tries to walk away, but Nick grabs her arm to stop her. He tells her he thinks they need to grieve for Cassie together, and they talk about how hard it is to move on from her death, how hard it is to let her go. They wonder if Cassie would want them to move on or if she feels lonely now and if they moved on, if she'd feel abandoned. Nick wonders what Cassie would think about what their lives have become. He says her prophecy cannot come true now. Phyllis arrives and sees Nick and Sharon talking, so she hides behind the gate to listen. Sharon tells Nick Cassie's prophecy may come true because she's pregnant and the baby might be his!

Sharon's Unravelling

2009-05-21T20:56:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Thursday May 21, 2009:

Billy looks at his cell phone in the pool house and sees he missed a phone call from Mac. He tells Chloe he has to go to work to work on a special project from Jack. Chloe picks out a tie for him to wear, and he leaves. Chloe thinks back to their morning in bed when Jack knocks on the door. Chloe tells Jack he just missed Billy - he just went to start that new project Jack gave to him. Jack looks confused! He utters under his breath he knows exactly where Billy is. Chloe tells Jack Billy has been great lately, and he is surprised to hear this. They discuss how impulsive Billy can be, and Chloe begins to wonder if that is what this morning was. After Jack leaves, Delia begins to cry. When she goes to get Delia's blanket, she finds Billy's phone and sees that Mac called.

At the Chancellor mansion, Mac listens to the duet tape she and Billy made. Katherine comes into the room and tells Mackenzie she wanted to give her a heads up - she is going to invite Billy and Chloe to the barbecue. Mac talks to Katherine about Billy, saying even if he left Chloe, he'd still be miserable because he would feel he let Delia down. Kay says if she hadn't shown up at the wedding, Billy's focus wouldn't have been on her ever since then, but Mac says she can't help that - she's tried. Kay wonders what would have happened if Mac had shown up earlier and Mac admits she doesn't know.

Paul shows up at Mary Jane's door and says he knows her from somewhere and it's driving him crazy. With a little convincing, Mary Jane finally agrees to meet Paul downstairs in the Club for lunch. When Mary Jane comes downstairs, she's wearing sunglasses, telling Paul she feels a migraine coming on. Paul begins to ask Mary Jane about her background, but she doesn't give him a lot of information. Paul says he recognizes her laugh and says perhaps they met through a family connection? Mary Jane gets pretty uncomfortable and suddenly jumps up, saying her migraine is killing her, and leaves. After she's gone, Paul makes a phone call and orders a full background check on Mary Jane!

At Restless Style, Nick looks at the drawing Summer gave him and flashes back to when Cassie gave him a drawing of their family. He comes back to the present in order to thank Summer for her drawing. Nick sighs and wonders when this gets easier. Phyllis says she wishes she could do something to help him, but Nick says she already has - she's given him Summer. Phyllis wants to know what Nick is feeling - no matter what it is. Nick finally tells her he's worried about Sharon - she's unravelling and she has been for a long time now. Phyllis says she's worried about Sharon too - she has a lot going on. She tells Nick she can see Sharon falling apart, but she's getting the help she needs now. Nick feels guilty because he wasn't there for her when Cassie died and that's when all of this started. Phyllis tells Nick he made a mistake, but he'd never do that again - he's a different person now. Nick feels he needs to be there for Sharon now, but Phyllis reminds Nick he isn't her doctor, priest, therapist, or husband. Nick tells Phyllis Sharon has told him to stay away, but he feels this is all his fault. Phyllis tells Nick Sharon may want to move forward with Jack, but she can't because Nick won't let her go. Nick tells Phyllis he values her and Summer. Phyllis tells Nick not to think for a second that she doesn't need him as much as Sharon does. Phyllis leaves the office while Nick draws with Summer.

Sharon holds Cassie's drawing and cries. Billy comes in and asks if she's okay. He wants to know why she moved back in with Jack - it's uncomfortable for him. He wonders if it is uncomfortable for her as well. Billy worries about what would happen if Chloe and Jack found out he might be the father of Sharon's baby. Sharon tells Billy Jack already knows he might not be the baby's father. Billy wonders if there is a third candidate for the father?! Sharon says Jack knows she was with someone else, but he doesn't know it was Billy. Billy insists that Sharon living at the Abbott mansion isn't ideal because it could all blow up in their faces! Billy says he would fall in love with the baby if it is his. Billy says Jack's been like a father to him and he doesn't know what he'd do if Jack ever found out. Suddenly, Jack appears and wants to know what he's interrupting!

Sharon says she was already emotional before Billy came in. Billy leaves the room. Sharon tells Jack Billy was worried about him - he doesn't want to see him get hurt again by Sharon. Jack buys this and he tells her not to worry. Sharon tells Jack Nick deserves the truth. Jack tells Sharon she shouldn't tell Nick yet because she'd be ruining a marriage and Summer's world and it might be for nothing. Sharon says she needs to tell Nick because she needs him right now. Jack realizes Nick is the only other person who knows what it's like to have lost Cassie. Sharon tells him it hurts worse than he can even imagine. Jack wonders if she wants to hurt Nick, and if not, she shouldn't tell him yet. Sharon agrees and they hug.

Chloe goes to the Chancellor mansion. Mac asks how she is and Chloe says she isn't doing great and she believes Mac knows why. Katherine comes in and invites her to the barbecue tomorrow. Chloe thanks her, but says they need some family time. Katherine takes Delia outside to see the decorations. Chloe confronts Mac about calling Billy, telling Mackenzie it's hard enough to try and build a life with someone as immature as Billy without Mac interfering. She says she can't even make love with Billy without Mac calling and reminding him of what he doesn't have. Mac says the call was an impulsive thing to do - she just wanted to show Billy something she thought he'd find funny. Chloe wants to know what she wants with Billy? Mackenzie tells Chloe she isn't a threat to her marriage. Chloe insists if it weren't for Cordelia, she'd let Mac and Billy be together because she doesn't like humiliating herself like this. Mackenzie says she doesn't want to be the other woman. As they talk, Chloe learns that Mac and Billy never slept together. Mac also tells her that up until recently, she was seeing someone else seriously. Chloe wants to know what happened, and Mac says timing, she isn't very good at it.

Billy goes back to the pool house, looking for Chloe. He checks his phone and finds no messages. He goes to the Chancellor mansion and overhears Chloe bidding farewell to Mac and Katherine. Chloe says she'll be attending the barbecue after all, and Mac promises to keep her distance. Chloe asks Mac why she doesn't bring a date. Chloe suggests bringing the guy from Africa, but Mac says they haven't talked in a while and isn't sure it'd be a good thing. Billy leaves.

Nick calls Sharon while she's on the couch at the Abbott mansion, but she doesn't answer it.

Billy returns to the pool house, angry. He's surprised when he finds Jack there. Jack tells Billy Sharon told him what's going on and thanks him for looking out for Jack where Sharon is concerned. Jack says he knows the baby may not be his, but he doesn't mind. Billy tells his brother he hopes it works out for him because he'll make a wonderful father. Jack hugs his brother.

Tyra's Not Related

2009-05-19T19:46:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday May 19, 2009:

At the reception, Daniel tries to get Lily and Cane to smash the cake into each other's faces. Cane says Lily is too pretty to do that, but Lily has fun getting some cake onto Cane. Daniel takes some pictures for the Restless Style website. Afterwards, Devon sits back down with Virginia. He says a comment she made earlier confused him - he says she made it sound like Tyra wasn't related to him. Virginia tells Devon Tyra isn't blood-related - Devon's grandmother took Tyra in when she was young after her mother died! Devon asks if Tyra knows, and Virginia says she does, she's known since she was a teenager. Devon is quite shocked that Tyra didn't tell him about this.

Billy talks with Katherine about Mac. He says something bad always slips out of his mouth when she's around and he's frustrated. Kay points out that that ship has already sailed, yet he is still chasing it with an anchor named Chloe around his neck.

Michael and Lauren eat dinner at the Club. Lauren checks on Eden and Fen by phone and tells Michael they're fine. Michael remarks that at least they know what they're doing. He says he hasn't heard from Gloria and she isn't returning his messages or texts. Michael worries Gloria and Jeff are getting into trouble, but Lauren tells him that if they are in trouble, they will call. Lauren says it's time to concentrate on them - they haven't had a date night in ages. She hands him an envelope with the tickets to Monte Carlo in it - she wants to cash in her trip! Also in the envelope is a room key. Michael calls out for the check so they can head upstairs.

At the reception, Mac talks with Kevin and Jana and apologizes for Billy's behavior. Kevin tells her it's okay - Billy's always been a jerk and he doesn't know what she ever saw in him!

Jill asks Katherine if she is really going to do this movie and Katherine says she is. Jill expresses that she thinks it's a horrible idea. Nina tells Jill if she'd quit being so self-obsessed, she'd realize it is a great idea. Murphy makes a suggestion for an actor for the movie, and Amber says maybe they can get Glenn Close to play Jill - she did a very convincing Cruella DeVille! Jill threatens to put a stop to the movie.

Neil dances with Tyra and says there is still so much he doesn't know about her - he'll enjoy finding out more. Devon dances with Roxanne and glares at them nearby. Neil tells Tyra he speak to Devon about this - he doesn't have the right to tell Neil who he can date and when.

Lily and Daniel talk. Lily says she's thinking about becoming an interior designer, and Daniel says she'll make a great one. Daniel and Lily agree that although things didn't work out for them as a couple, things turned out well for both of them. They wish each other well and hug.

Amber goes over to Chloe and remarks that Lily has it all. She says she wishes for once in her life, she was living the fairytale. Chloe asks about Daniel, and Amber tells her at the rate they are going, she'll be Katherine's age before they get married! Chloe tells her to make it happen - she has before.

Jill complains to Billy about the movie Katherine is going to make. Billy observes she really isn't upset about the movie - she's upset about the trouble Jack said she was in. Jill makes Billy promise he won't tell anyone. She tells him she's broke! Billy promises he won't tell anyone and offers his mother help from the trust John left him. Jill says Billy is very sweet, but she will manage. Billy goes over to Chloe, Cane, and Lily and Cane thanks Billy for coming to the wedding. He proposes this could be a new start for all of them. Billy agrees they should give it a shot. Chloe apologizes for her past actions and wishes Cane and Lily the best. Cane picks Lily up and starts to carry her out. She tosses her bouquet and Amber catches it!

Michael and Lauren make out and eat brownies in bed in their room at the Club. Afterward, they head home. Michael tells Lauren she makes him feel like a teenager and they agree to plan their trip to Monte Carlo in the morning.

At the reception, Kevin tells Amber she'll be the next one to get married, but Daniel says if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Amber is displeased with this comment. Mac is about to leave, but Billy stops her. He apologizes for his behavior toward Kevin, but Mac doesn't feel like forgiving him. She walks away. Chloe joins Billy so they can leave, but he asks her to wait. Billy goes over to Kevin and Jana and apologizes for his behavior. Jana goes off on Billy. After Billy leaves, Kevin says he doesn't need Jana fighting his battles for him! Alone now, Kevin and Jana slow dance in the silence and Kevin thanks her for being so patient with him - he knows she didn't sign up for a crazy husband. Jana tells him she promised to stay by him in sickness and in health. They kiss. They head home and make love in the elevator.

Roxane, Devon, and Ana are back at Lily and Cane's decorating and picking up the dog for the night. Roxane asks Devon why he's so upset and he tells her he's upset about Neil and Tyra, but she doesn't understand why he's upset about them dancing together.

At the Chancellor mansion, Katherine, Murphy, Mac, and Nina sit in the living room chatting. Jill comes in and complains she had hoped to find some peace and quiet. Murphy offers to rent Jill the trailer, where she can find a lot of peace and quiet, but Jill tells everyone she isn't going anywhere! Jill leaves the room. After she's gone, Mac says she feels sorry for Jill. Nina says that Jill's always been a mess and it's her own fault. Katherine says she's tried to let Jill know she doesn't have to be alone. Once Mac and Nina are alone, Nina remarks that it's weird being back because there are so many reminders of Phillip - it's hard to believe he's really gone. They bid each other a good night. Mac goes to get something out of her car, and opens the front door to find Billy standing there!

At home, Daniel is uploading the photos to the website, but Amber wants to talk. She tells Daniel she's already lost two children and her biological clock is ticking. Daniel says they've already talked about this - he's not ready to make that kind of commitment. Amber becomes offended, thinking Daniel doesn't want to be married to her. Daniel says he doesn't want to get married to anyone right now - he thinks they still have plenty of time. Amber wonders if she should waste her time on a relationship that isn't going anywhere, but Daniel tells her that an ultimatum won't change his mind. Amber goes to bed, holds the bouquet she caught, and cries.

Cane and Lily come home to find their place decorated. Cane tells Lily Devon took Humphrey for the night. They kiss. Lily changes and they have a toast. Lily says they'll never be apart again. Cane says he's made mistakes, but he promises to never disappoint her again. They begin to kiss and move onto the couch to make love.

Devon checks on Virginia at the Club, and she tells him how good it is to see him again - she was sad when they lost touch before. She tells Devon she's sad about what the drugs did to his mom, and she wasn't always that way. She says Devon and Ana got their singing voices from their mother - she had a beautiful voice as well. Virginia hands Devon a letter Yolanda wrote to Devon's father a long time ago - she never sent it. Devon reads the letter where Yolanda tells him she gave birth to his son. He realizes his father never knew he had a son.

Neil takes Tyra to his house and pours them drinks. He toasts to her - the second most beautiful woman at the reception tonight - next to Lily. They begin to kiss and head to the bedroom to make love.

Chloe is at home where Delia begins to cry. Chloe picks her up and holds her, thinking.

Mac asks Billy what he's doing there. He says he had to see her. Mac begins to scream at Billy to leave her alone! Katherine comes to the door and tells Billy he heard her - go home. As Billy leaves, Kay hugs Mac.

Estella Didn't Make the Call

2009-05-18T23:31:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Monday May 18, 2009:

Ashley runs into Victor's arms when he arrives home at the Ranch. She cries and tells Victor she can't stay in this house anymore - Sabrina called and said she was going to die! Victor sits Ashley down on the couch and she tells him how Sabrina kept saying it was her and that she couldn't escape, Ashley was going to die. Adam tells Victor he was standing right there the entire time Ashley was on the phone, and that it must have been Estella. Victor checks Ashley's phone and it reads, "invalid number." Victor then calls Estella's house and Rafe answers the phone. Victor has him check the outgoing calls, and finds out Estella didn't call. Victor tells Adam it wasn't Estella.

Nina compliments Phyllis and Nick on Restless Style at the wedding reception. They ask her to write a piece for them, and she agrees happily. Nearby, Jill tells Billy she can't believe both of her sons got married within a few weeks of each other. Billy asks Jill again about what kind of trouble she was in, and Jill avoids the question. Jana and Kevin arrive and Kevin is feeling anxious about the crowd. Katherine comes over and tells Kevin to take it one day at a time, to take it one second at a time if he needs to, and they are all going to be there to support him. Roxane and Devon talk with Ana and Tyra. Mac asks Devon if he has seen Colleen. Billy comes over and informs everyone Colleen had to leave because her grandmother was in an accident. Ana asks if she will be okay, and Billy says they don't know yet. She says she'll pray for her. Devon gets a call informing him that Cane and Lily are on their way in.

Everyone applauds as Cane and Lily appear. Nina congratulates the couple, and Cane says he'd like to meet Phillip one day. Amber and Chloe agree that Lily's dress is boring, just like her. Jill overhears the conversation and informs them that the dress was her mother's! Jill wonders why Amber is even there. She asks Jill why she's such a hater - is it because she's close to Katherine? Jill says she disliked Amber long before she became close with Katherine. Nick and Phyllis talk with Cane and Lily. Phyllis tells them the response to the Restless Style cover has been great.

Tyra squeals happily when she sees Aunt Virginia come into the reception. Devon introduces his Great Aunt Virginia to Roxane and Neil. Virginia thanks Neil for what he's done for the family. Tyra wants to talk with Virginia, but Devon takes her to get a drink first. Neil says this is exciting - Tyra and Ana have more family than Devon - but Tyra does not seem to be thrilled. Virginia meets Lily and Cane and tells them she'll be in town for a while.

Nick and Phyllis talk with Daniel and Amber. Phyllis asks Daniel to have the photos uploaded tonight. After Amber and Daniel leave, Nick and Phyllis reminisce about their reception. Phyllis brings up the incident with Sharon in the club, and Nick says she wasn't feeling well. Phyllis says Sharon seems to not feel well most of the time. Nick suggests they have some fun - they've been through a lot together and they're still here. They drink to survival and fun.

Cane and Lily dance for the first time as husband and wife and share a passionate kiss. Jill and Neil begin to dance next and agree that Cane and Lily are great in-laws to have. They joke about grandchildren as well. Devon asks Mac to dance and thanks her for filling in for Colleen while Billy watches. Jana convinces Kevin to dance and Amber asks Daniel to dance, but he says he can't right now because he has to keep taking photos. She seems dejected. Billy pulls Chloe onto the dance floor and they joke about old times and their wedding. Neil cuts in and dances with Lily. She tells her father she hopes her marriage to Cane is half as good as his was to Dru. Jill dances with Cane and Jill suggests he take his father's name. Katherine and Murphy dance alongside Jill and Cane and Katherine says she loves Cane just as she did Phillip and she believes taking the Chancellor name is a good idea. Cane says he wants to think about it. Cane dances with Katherine, then, and Murphy dances with Jill. Cane remarks that Jill is being civil with Katherine, and Kay says she hopes Jill is softening.

Amber finally gets Daniel to dance by the door. Kevin and Jana come up alongside them and they switch partners. Nick and Phyllis dance nearby and kiss. Virginia talks with Devon about Tyra adopting Ana. She says she thought courts usually prefer a blood relative to adopt a child, and Devon is confused by this statement. She leaves to freshen up. Billy comes over to Kevin and starts taunting him, calling him the silver chipmunk and a psycho. Mac overhears this and tells Billy he's nothing like the way she remembered - she is so disappointed in him!

Katherine, Jill, and Nina talk about Cane meeting Phillip, Nina's son. Amber comes over and asks them if they are talking about the movie. Jill wonders what she's talking about and Amber tells her she and Nina are co-writing Katherine's book into a movie. Jill is not impressed.

Lily and Cane give a speech about how they appreciate their families and friends before they cut the cake. Neil goes to put his hand on Tyra's shoulder, and Devon rolls his eyes at this.

Olivia arrives at the Ranch at Victor's request. Victor fills her in on the phone call - he thinks Ashley might be stressed and he wants her to check Ashley out. Ashley is thrilled Victor called Olivia to come check on her. Olivia asks Adam to leave them alone for a moment, so he leaves the room. Adam talks to Victor, who asks him if he heard a voice on the other end of the phone. Adam says he only heard Ashley's voice. Olivia takes Ashley's blood pressure and temperature. Ashley tells her that Victor must think she's losing her mind, but Olivia assures her he doesn't think that. Olivia tells Ashley her temperature and blood pressure are elevated and she wants Ashley to check into the hospital for the night. She wants Ashley to talk to someone. Ashley becomes upset, telling Olivia she doesn't need to talk to anyone - she needs for her and Victor to believe her! Olivia tells Ashley she believes her. Adam comes back into the room and tells Ashley Estella didn't make the phone call! In the other room, Olivia tells Victor she wouldn't dismiss the idea that Ashley may be having another nervous breakdown. Victor says he was afraid of that. Olivia returns to Ashley and leads her upstairs to get some rest.

Victor thanks Adam for being so kind to Ashley. Victor leaves the room. Adam says it's a little late for that!

Nick and Phyllis go back to Restless Style so Phyllis can find her keys. They agree they've had more fun than they've had in ages. They make love there and agree doing so makes them feel more connected.

Ashley Wants to be Sabrina?

2009-04-29T21:51:00.000-07:00

At the coffeehouse, Ashley and Olivia eat cake - it's Ashley's birthday. Ashley promises to take it easy, telling Olivia that she and Victor have a dinner for two planned later.

Kay and Lauren run into each other at Crimson Lights as well. They talk about Kevin's progress and the fact that Gloria gaslit Katherine in order to get those Jabot shares. Lauren tells Katherine Sharon stole $10,000 worth of merchandise from Fenmore's and she's pressing charges.

Sharon sits with Heather in the Club dining room. She is about to confess to taking all of the stolen items when Nick comes up to them and pulls Sharon aside. He asks her what she's thinking - she's about to self-destruct! He wants Sharon to drop the charges against Phyllis, but Sharon refuses. Nick says he's sick of Sharon and Phyllis arguing with each other. He asks Sharon if he wants her to take away Noah's mother and step-mother on the same day - the anniversary of Cassie's accident?! Nick asks Sharon to tear up her confession and to drop the charges against Phyllis, but she says she can't. She does agree, though, to wait a while until Nick returns.

Jack arrives at the police station and wonders where Nick is. Phyllis said he should be coming, and tells Jack she's made a mess of things. Jack says he knows that she made the mess in Sharon's room - the disaster had her written all over it! Jack points out that she and Sharon have each had each other arrested, and Phyllis is going to lose Nick if she doesn't quit scheming and harassing Sharon. At first Phyllis tries to defend herself, but eventually accepts her responsibility. Jack says this is a wake-up call to her. Jack suggests Phyllis show some understanding towards Sharon and her situation. Before Jack leaves, Phyllis tells him he's a good friend.

Neil finds Olivia at Crimson Lights and tells her he's given his resignation at Newman. But now, he's second-guessing himself. Olivia tells him he should listen to his gut - just as he should have before he married Karen. Olivia points out that his attraction to Tyra before he married Karen should have told him he wasn't ready to be completely committed to Karen. Neil admits he didn't feel the same way with Karen that he felt with Dru. He says he still misses Dru. Olivia says Tyra might be the right one for him and she might not be, but whoever is will be a lucky woman. Neil says he's going to begin figuring it out right now and gets out his phone to call Tyra.

At Newman, Victor and Victoria talk about Neil's resignation from the company. Victoria tells Victor that Phyllis was arrested for vandalizing Sharon's room, and Victor wonders when Phyllis and Sharon will learn to get along. Victoria tells her father he might as well be wishing for world peace! Victoria thinks it's good that Noah has somewhere stable to stay while all this chaos is going on. She wishes Victor a nice night with Ashley for her birthday.

Nikki stops by the Ranch and talks with Estella a little. She asks how she and Ashley are getting along and Estella admits things are worse than they were before. Estella moves the coffee table slightly. Adam appears and he and Nikki have a pleasant conversation. Suddenly, Adam falls over the coffee table! Nikki helps Adam get up and Estella comes into the room to help as well. Estella apologizes profusely for moving the table. Adam tells her it's OK - it was just an accident. Nikki leaves. Estella sits on the couch with Adam, who admits he's terrified because everyday gets darker and darker for him. Estella tries to reassure him that things will get better, but Adam isn't so sure.

Lauren arrives at the police station where she finds Phyllis. Phyllis says she was caught for vandalizing Sharon's hotel room. Lauren tells Phyllis Eden begged her to drop the charges against Sharon for Noah's sake, and Phyllis shocks Lauren by telling her she agrees! Phyllis says she's tired of seeing the kids suffer. When Nick is coming into the police station and Lauren is going out, Lauren tells Nick she is dropping the charges against Sharon because his wife asked her to. Nick apologizes for taking so long to get there to Phyllis and says he talked to Sharon, but she refuses to drop the charges against Phyllis. Phyllis admits to Nick that her scheming made things worse and from now on she wants to be honest with him. She says she expects the same from him - she just wants to be happy again.

Nikki, Victoria, and Katherine sit in the Club dining room where Nikki fills them in on Adam's accident. Nikki says she has a hard time feeling sorry for Adam and Victoria agrees. They also agree that there's something odd about Adam - he can't be trusted.

At the Ranch, Victor encourages Ashley to go upstairs and get ready for her dinner. Upstairs, Ashley finds a gown, shoes, and earrings laid out for her and assumes Victor picked them out for her to wear. She puts them on and comes downstairs. Victor turns around to see Ashley in the gown and drops the glasses he's holding, asking Ashley why she's wearing that dress?! Ashley's confused. Victor commands Ashley to go upstairs and change out of it immediately. A shocked Ashley goes to do so, and Victor asks Estella if she remembers packing the dress. Estella says she put Sabrina's gown in storage months ago. Victor wants to know who was in the house that day, and Estella tells him that Nikki was there earlier. Victor leaves. Later, when Ashley comes back downstairs in a different dress, Estella tells her that the dress she had put on was the dress Sabrina wore the night of her accident. Ashley immediately blames Estella for this, and both she and Estella become upset.

Tyra meets Neil at the coffeehouse. He asks about Ana before he tells her that it will take a long time for him to get over how he hurt Karen. Tyra tells Neil she has strong feelings for him, and Neil admits he has strong feelings for her as well. Neil says he wants to take things slowly though, and Tyra says she can be patient. She kisses him and leaves.

At the Club, Jack and Mary Jane are celebrating how great his interview and photo shoot went. Mary Jane suddenly invites him to enjoy his champagne up in her room instead! Jack hesitates slightly, but then follows her upstairs. Once they are in her room, Mary Jane kisses him and throws him down on her bed! After they've made love, Jack brings up the fact that Mary Jane has a husband and says he can be discrete. Mary Jane laughs and tells him she's not really married - she just tells people that when she travels. She says if they make love a few more times, they won't be doing anything wrong, and kisses Jack some more.

Katherine meets with Neil at the Club. Katherine says she knows he resigned at Newman. Neil observes that Katherine has a leadership gap at Chancellor and says he can fill it! Neil wants to be CEO at Chancellor and Katherine remarks that his work is exemplary. She says she'd be honored if Neil would work with her.

Nick goes back to the Club and tells Sharon that Phyllis got Lauren to drop the charges against her for Noah's sake. Nick says now she can tear up her confession and she can get the help she needs. Sharon tells him it's too late - Heather is on her way to get Sharon's confession - she got tired of waiting for Nick. Heather arrives and asks Sharon for her letter. Sharon hedges and Nick grabs the letter and tosses it onto the fire. Heather tells Nick he'll be arrested for obstruction of justice, but Sharon says she wanted him to do that. Heather is pissed. After Heather leaves, Sharon asks Nick what happens now. Nick says the family has been through enough. He says Sharon needs to show the same mercy to Phyllis she showed her. Sharon agrees, but tells Nick to leave her alone from now on!

Nick returns to the police station and informs Phyllis he just saw Sharon and that she agreed to drop the charges against her. Nick says they can move forward, now.

Lauren confronts Sharon in the dining room at the GCAC. She says the only reason Sharon isn't going to prison is because of Eden. She says that even though Sharon blamed Eden for everything that has gone wrong in her relationship with Noah, she begged Lauren to drop the charges against Sharon for Noah's sake. Sharon tells Lauren she will never forgive herself for allowing Eden getting blamed for the stolen books. Lauren warns Sharon if she ever hurts Eden again, she's going to re-file the charges!

Victor goes to the Club and walks over to Victoria and Nikki. He immediately accuses Nikki of arranging for Ashley to wear Sabrina's gala gown. Nikki is furious. She tells Victor Ashley had the opportunity and motive to do that herself - Sabrina's spirit still lives at the Ranch and in Victor's heart. Nikki says Ashley's had mental problems in the past - maybe she wants to be Sabrina.

Ashley is alone in her room at the Ranch, and she's shocked when she finds a photo of Victor and Sabrina, who is wearing her gala gown, along with her credit card receipt for the dress! Ashley asks I didn't buy this....did I?

Phyllis is Caught!

2009-04-28T21:25:00.000-07:00

Billy sits with Jill in the GCAC dining room, and she thanks him for allowing her to visit with Delia. As she holds Delia, her cell phone rings and Jill ignores it, telling Billy it's probably just another reporter. Billy comments that they need to find something to get her and Katherine off the front page. Jill leaves cheerfully.

Gloria finds Jeff at the Club bar. She shows him what she bought for Kevin. Jeff tells her to be careful about money because she might have to pay it in a civil suit. Jill stops by and she and Gloria snap at each other. Gloria says she has to go see about getting this civil suit dropped and Jeff says he has some business to attend to as well.

Phyllis and Lauren talk at the coffeehouse. Phyllis says she is unable to press charges, and Lauren thinks this is ridiculous. Lauren tells Phyllis she is still planning on pressing charges. They discuss how this will affect Noah, and Phyllis says it might do him some good to see his mother pay the consequences for her actions.

Sharon writes a confession in her room at the GCAC. Nick shows up and wants to help her, but Sharon doesn't want his help. Nick doesn't want her to feel as if he's abandoning her, and she assures him she doesn't feel that way. Sharon tells Nick that she is writing a confession and Nick tries to talk her out of it. He wonders how Noah will react to his mother being in jail. He also says Sharon needs help and she isn't going to get that in jail. Sharon tells Nick that it is none of his concern - he needs to be with his family. She says Noah needs to see his mother take responsibility for her actions. Before Nick leaves, he tells Sharon to talk to her lawyer before she decides to confess to anything.

Later, a man comes to Sharon's door with something she will want to see. It's a video of Phyllis trashing her room and cutting up her clothes. Sharon says she knows just what to do!

As Jack hands Colleen all the information she'll need to mess with the Newman Board at today's board meeting, Mary Jane ushers the camera crew in to set up for Jack's photo shoot and interview. Colleen says she's nervous, but Jack assures her she'll do great. Jack starts his interview, but Mary Jane steps in and fixes his tie and hair in a flirtatious way. Billy comes in with Cordelia, and Mary Jane offers to watch her while he goes to look for a file he needs for a business meeting. Delia begins to cry and Mary Jane hands Jack the baby. The cameras snap away, taking Jack and Cordelia's picture together. Jack convinces Billy to leave Delia with him while he goes to his meeting. When Mary Jane leaves, Jack says to Delia, "We like her, don't we."

Victoria and Victor discuss today's board meeting at the Ranch. He says he doesn't see any issues with her proposal for the expended fragrance line. Victoria asks him how Ashley is doing, and Victor says she's doing all right. He then thanks her for taking on more of his responsibilities at Newman so that he can watch over his family.

Ashley walks around outside and says to herself that she heard a baby crying. She comes upon the statue of Sabrina and a baby. She goes back to the Ranch as Victor is confirming Ashley's birthday arrangements. Ashley asks about the statue and Victor says he had it commissioned. He asks if it bothers Ashley, and she says she was just surprised by it. He leaves.

Noah runs into Abby at the coffeehouse. She teases him about Eden, and Noah tells her to back off. Just then, Eden comes into the coffeehouse, followed by some boys who mock him. They tease him about how his mother steals. One boy tries to get Noah to fight him, but Eden and Abby convince him not to fight. When Noah leaves, Eden finds Lauren and asks her not to press charges against Sharon. Lauren is shocked. Eden says she knows Lauren is pressing charges for her, and she really loves Noah. She wants Noah to have an easier time.

Jeff follows Jill into the coffeehouse, and says he was surprised to learn that she isn't Katherine's daughter in the Restless Style article. Jill tells him the only reason he is talking to her is in case Gloria loses all of her money and ends up on food stamps! Jeff says he would never abandon his wife, but you never know what the future might hold. Jill says she deleted Jeff's number, so Jeff calls her to give her his number again.

At Newman, J.T. and Victoria kiss, but are interrupted by Neil, who is there for the board meeting. Victoria says she's sorry about Karen. Neil says he is, too. Victoria announces that she is going to chair the board meeting. Colleen and Nick arrive to hear the news. Nick confides in his sister that he needs to make a decision between Phyllis and Sharon and stick to it! Victor arrives and tells the board he's leaving the day-to-day operations of Newman to Victoria. Victoria begins to present her proposal, but Colleen says she has some questions and objections. She says she's made copies of her research for everyone!

Gloria comes looking for Victor at the Ranch and bypasses Estella who tells her Victor isn't home. Ashley asks Gloria why she's looking for Victor, and Gloria remembers her promise to keep quiet about the fact that Victor bought her Jabot shares. Ashley assumes Gloria is there to convince Victor to talk to her about dropping the lawsuit against Gloria. Ashley tells Gloria that she isn't a puppet that does whatever someone tells her and the suit won't be dropped. She says Gloria is going to pay for what she put Ashley's family through!

Phyllis comes to Newman and finds Nick. She asks him to go out for a cup of coffee, but he tells her he's made a decision. They go into a room to talk alone, and Nick tells her that he knows Sharon has to be a less part of their lives because he wants to work things out with her. He says he wants to move back in with her; she's never given up on him and he isn't going to give up on her. They kiss.

Jeff and Gloria meet up again at the GCAC bar. Nearby, Jill and Billy meet again. Billy tells her how Jack is using Delia as a prop in his publicity photo shoot. Neither she nor Billy is impressed. Billy says he wants to leave Jabot and has had other offers for work. Jill tells him to be careful - there are some people out there who would love to exploit a former Jabot CEO!

Neil asks to speak to Victor. He tells Victor he appreciates all the opportunities he's given him, but in the end, the Newman family will always be in control, as they should be. He says there's a glass ceiling for his job here and if he stays, he'd be settling. Victor asks if this is because Victoria chaired the board meeting, but Neil says this has been a long time coming. Initially, Victor says he won't accept Neil's resignation; they count on him at Newman a great deal, but eventually he accepts it, saying all good things must come to an end. Victor shakes Neil's hand, and Neil leaves.

Colleen and Victoria talk in the break room. Victoria says Colleen did good today, but in the future would she bring her concerns to Victoria before the board meeting so that she can do some research on how to solve the problem? She says she and Colleen aren't all that different. Victoria offers to call some people to get Colleen an art curator job, but Colleen wonders why Victoria didn't offer this sooner. Colleen says neither Victoria nor Victor is going to get her off the Board of Directors, and leaves.

Ashley is looking at the statue of Sabrina again when Abby comes up behind her and startles her. Abby says the statue is creepy.

Noah arrives at his mother's room, angry and ranting that everyone knows about her and it's affecting his life. Sharon says she's sorry, but Noah says she shouldn't have stolen things in the first place! Noah wants her to promise to stop the fighting between Nick and Phyllis.

Phyllis and Nick are leaving Newman when Detective Gil puts Phyllis under arrest for vandalizing Sharon's room and for breaking and entering! As Phyllis is taken away, she calls out Nick's name.

The Young and the Restless update for Wednesday April 22, 2009:

Mackenzie, Katherine, Murphy, and Nikki are at Joe's Diner decorating for Marge's memorial service. Nikki says she's glad that they can do this for Marge. Amber comes in and greets Katherine who thanks her for coming. She asks Amber about Kevin. Amber tells Katherine Kevin knew she was there, which is an improvement. Katherine introduces Mackenzie and Amber who compliment each other. They agree there needs to be a sequel to Katherine's book. The memorial starts and Pearl, Joe Jr., and Murphy all talk. Katherine also speaks and says she admired Marge's spirit. She says she hopes they meet again one of someday.

Michael visits Kevin in the psychiatric hospital. Michael talks to Kevin who doesn't respond. Michael tells him it is okay to talk to him - he will keep Kevin safe. Kevin sees the chipmunk who says no one can keep him safe. Kevin puts his hands over his ears. Michael tries to get Kevin to let him help, but Kevin doesn't respond. Michael leaves. After Michael leaves, Kevin says, "Wait, don't go yet."

Nick meets with Sharon's lawyer at Newman, and tells him that Sharon wants to confess and he thinks she wants to punish herself. The lawyer tells Nick that one person is pressing charges. He assumes it is Phyllis, but when he sees the paper, he finds out it's Lauren instead.

Heather meets Phyllis at Restless Style. She tells Phyllis they can't prosecute Sharon for stealing her monkey statue because it isn't worth enough money. Phyllis is frustrated that Sharon can steal and not be prosecuted for it. Heather has Phyllis sign a piece of paper to get her statue back. After Heather leaves, Phyllis calls Victor and tells him the egg he gave to Sabrina has been found. She tells Victor Sharon stole it. Victor tells Phyllis he will take care of it. Later, Phyllis remembers how Victor stood up for Sharon before and won't allow anything to happen to her. She realizes he won't press charges and that she'll end up looking like the "bad guy" again. She grabs her purse and heads out of the Restless Style office.

Victor hangs up the phone with Phyllis. Adam knocks something glass over, but won't let Victor help him clean it up. Victor tells him to be careful and to not cut himself. Adam tells Victor he was wrong in assuming Adam took the egg from him. Victor doesn't admit that he thought that and leaves.

At the psychiatric hospital, Michael explains to Gloria and Jeff that they need to figure out who or what the chipmunk represents because the doctors think this may be the key to Kevin's recovery. Michael leaves. Gloria goes in to see Kevin, but she becomes frustrated with his lack of progress and she tells Jeff to stay with him as she leaves. Jeff goes in to see Kevin and talks to him. Kevin sees the chipmunk again and starts shouting that he's been a good boy and cries. Jeff tells Kevin to fight it or he may not ever get out of here.

Sharon calls Noah and leaves a message, asking him to call her so they can talk. Sharon remembers Nick's advice not to confess, but she still isn't sure that's the right thing to do. She hears a knock on the door and asks who it is. It's Victor. Sharon opens the door for him. Sharon apologizes for taking the egg and says she should have brought it back to him. She says she wanted to tell Victor, but she was afraid to. She also says she doesn't even remember taking the egg from his home. Victor embraces her and asks her what's been going on. Sharon tells him everything, even how she's ruined Nick and Phyllis' marriage. Victor asks her if Phyllis knows and Sharon says she does. Sharon says she knows how Phyllis feels because Phyllis stole Nick from her.

Heather arrives at the Ranch. When Adam answers the door, he knows it's her because he can smell her perfume. Heather tells Adam that even though she knows she should stay away, she can't because she still loves him! Adam replies that he thought she was smarter than that, and she deserves better than him. Heather tells Adam that it breaks her heart that he's stuck there with his world getting darker and darker. Adam tells her to leave, but she can't and won't.

Nick meets with Michael at the coffeehouse to plead Sharon's case. Nick thinks Phyllis got Lauren to press charges, but Michael says Phyllis doesn't need him to fight her battles for her. Michael also tells Nick that Sharon seems to be spiraling out of control. Michael says Nick can put on a pair of tights and a cape if it makes him feel better, but there are other people that could have used his support these past few months. Nick thinks Michael is talking about Phyllis, but Michael says he means Eden. Michael says it's for Eden's sake alone that he's glad Lauren is pressing charges. He says that Eden has already been abandoned by her father, he isn't going to do the same thing, and he doesn't want Eden to believe she isn't worth standing up for. Michael tells Nick that he is his friend, but for once Sharon is going to face the consequences to her actions and there's nothing Nick can do about it.

The reception for Marge's memorial service is taking place at Joe's Diner. Murphy thinks they should play Marge's favorite song at their wedding, which will be taking place on May 1! Amber is thrilled when Katherine says she can design the dresses and she goes crazy with a butterfly theme. The door opens suddenly and Gloria comes in. She begs Katherine to help her because she believes she's losing Kevin.

At the Club, Sharon and Victor walk downstairs to say good-bye where they run into Phyllis. Sharon accuses Phyllis of calling Victor because she thought he'd press charges, but Phyllis tells Sharon she called him because she knew Victor could help her. Victor thanks Phyllis for the phone call and leaves. Phyllis tells Sharon she did her a favor, and that she needs someone's shoulder to cry on other than her husband's. She also tells Sharon that she isn't going to press charges as Nick walks up to them. Nick tells Phyllis and Sharon Lauren is pressing charges and Sharon responds that she already knows - Lauren told her last night. Sharon says she doesn't want Phyllis or Nick involved. Phyllis leaves. Nick tells Sharon he went to talk to Michael, but Sharon tells him he shouldn't have done that because he isn't her husband anymore - he needs to quit acting like he is. Doris wheels into the Club in her wheelchair. Sharon hugs her mother. They go to sit down and Doris says she's concerned about her daughter. Sharon says she's doing better now than she was when she called her mom. Doris asks Sharon why she always shuts people out. Sharon responds that she's tired of feeling like she has to lean on someone - she needs to stand on her own two feet.

Nick comes to Restless Style and notices Phyllis got the statue back. He asks if Sharon broke it and Phyllis tells him that she broke it after he kissed Sharon in Paris. He notices how carefully she glued it back together and says not all people would have taken the time to do that. Phyllis tells Nick that it wasn't her that fixed it - it was the glue. She says that the bond holds it together, and that just because something's broken doesn't mean it can't be fixed, referring to their marriage. Nick asks Phyllis if she's free for lunch, but she says she has to set up for the Earth Day celebration. Nick says he'll be there.

Heather is about to leave, but wants to know what plans Adam has for his birthday. Adam says there are no plans for his birthday. Heather offers to talk to Victor about it for him, but Adam tells her Ashley's birthday is in a few days, and he should be focusing on her instead. As Heather leaves, Victor comes home and demands to know what she's doing there. Heather asks him about Adam's birthday plans, and Victor responds that it isn't her business and slams the door in her face.

Michael goes back to Kevin's padded cell and tells him that Clint's autopsy shows that Kevin wasn't to blame for his death. Michael isn't sure if Kevin is comprehending, but Kevin finally says, "I'm a good boy." Michael agrees. Kevin then asks if he can get out now.

Cane Proposes - Again

2009-04-21T21:23:00.000-07:00

The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday April 21, 2009:

Daniel and Amber are at home trying to work. Daniel offers to get take-out, but Amber says she can't do this. Amber is very worried about Kevin. Amber says it is even more awful because Kevin was going to turn himself in when Jeff Bardwell walked into the boxcar and ruined everything. Daniel snaps at her, telling her to quit obsessing about Kevin - she could go to jail! Amber says she just can't forget about Kevin, even if Daniel can. Daniel tells her Kevin is his best friend, but he needs her and she hasn't been there for him. He says first she was looking for Katherine and then she and Kevin were robbing banks. Now she's facing the possibility of going to jail for years. Daniel reflects upon the dreams they had, and says they're at risk now. Amber reassures Daniel, telling him he is the most important thing to her. They kiss.

Jana visits Kevin in the psychiatric hospital. She tells him she got a new Ouija board and that she believes he will be home soon. She suggests they take a vacation after all of this is over - he deserves a holiday after all that he has been through. Jana tries to get Kevin to look at her, but he won't. Jana says she believes in him. Kevin hears the chipmunk calling him "zombie boy." He yells at the chipmunk to "Shut up and leave me alone!" Of course, Jana thinks this is directed at her, and she becomes silent. After a while, she asks Kevin if it is okay for her to talk to him again. As Jana talks to him, she gently pulls Kevin's face toward her so that he can see her. In his mind, Kevin tells Jana he loves her, but the chipmunk continues to taunt him. He also sees Amber in his hallucination who tells Kevin not to listen to the chipmunk. Kevin says Amber's name aloud, and Jana is shocked.

Neil sits on the couch sadly. Devon comes over to pick up some of Ana's things for her to take to school. Devon tells Neil he can't forget what he and Tyra did, but that Neil did a great thing for his sister today, and he won't forget that, either. Neil tells Devon he misses Ana. Devon says he can visit her anytime, but Neil admits it isn't the same. Devon asks Neil if he has any plans on getting together with Tyra - he doesn't want to see Tyra get hurt. Neil says he can't imagine being with her right now so soon after Karen has left. Neil admits he didn't even know he could cheat on anyone. Devon leaves.

Cane and Lily snuggle on the couch together at home. Cane tells Lily he quit Chancellor because he doesn't want to have a job that will follow him when he goes home. Lily tells Cane she's been thinking too - she says she'll finish college, but she's been missing modelling lately. Cane says they will start over - together. They discuss how they had planned to start their own family and what happened when Lily got pregnant. Lily says she still wants to have Cane's baby, and Cane wonders if this means marriage is back on the table. Lily tells Cane to ask her and he'll find out! Cane gets the ring, kneels in front of her, and pops the question - again. Lily says yes. She goes to tell her father the good news while Cane picks up some dinner.

Sharon is in her room when Nick arrives. Sharon says she's fine, but Nick insists she's not. Sharon tells Nick about how Noah confronted her about letting Eden take the fall for stealing those books. Sharon is convinced that Noah hates her. Sharon says she's going to the District Attorney to turn herself in. Nick tells her she isn't going to do any such thing. He asks her why she feels she needs to be punished and he hypothesizes she'll still blaming herself for Brad's death. Nick tells her to do community service if it makes her feel better, but she can't go to jail because Noah needs her.

At the coffeehouse, Phyllis and Lauren are met by Detective Gil and Michael. Detective Gil hands them an envelope with some photos of the things that were in Sharon's room. He tells the women to let him know if any of the things are theirs. Phyllis recognizes Victor's egg statue he put Sabrina's ring in when he proposed. She also recognizes her monkey statue and tells Michael he wants to press charges. Michael says that while Phyllis' monkey statue has sentimental value, it isn't grand theft. He asks Lauren if she wants to press charges - the things Sharon took from Fenmore's were expensive. Lauren says it's Fenmore's policy to prosecute shoplifters. Michael points out to Phyllis that she only wants Sharon to go to jail so that she will stay away from Nick. Phyllis says she has good reason to be worried - Nick and Sharon have slept together - twice! Michael tells Phyllis she fights hard, but Phyllis says she still loves Nick and asks what she is supposed to do? Lauren suggests Phyllis take Sharon out of the equation - the problems they are having are between she and Nick, and if she keeps obsessing about Sharon, she is going to lose Nick.

Amber and Daniel are beginning to make out when Jana knocks on their door. Daniel tells her to go away, but when he hears it's Jana, he lets her in. Jana apologizes for interrupting and says she is having another headache. Amber offers to get her some painkillers, but Jana doesn't take them. Jana recounts what happened at the psychiatric hospital, and tells Amber Kevin was asking for her. She says she thinks Amber may be the only one who can pull him out of this.

Cane and Devon run into each other at the coffeehouse. They agree that what happened in court was best for Ana. Cane expresses concern over Neil.

Lily visits Neil and he says he knew he was putting his marriage on the line. He reminisces about how after Dru died, Karen was the first woman to put a smile on his face. Lily shares her news with Neil - she and Cane are getting married. Neil wonders about the custody suit, and Lily informs him that Cane dropped it. Neil asks if Lily is sure this is what she wants. Lily says she has never been so sure about anything before, and Neil hugs her and tells her he is happy for her. After Lily leaves, Neil remembers taking his vows with Karen and takes off his wedding ring, placing it next to Karen's.

Daniel, Amber, and Jana go to the psychiatric hospital to visit Kevin. As Amber goes into Kevin's padded cell, Daniel tells her to be careful. Amber greets Kevin, but he doesn't respond to her. Outside, Jana tries to talk with Daniel, but quickly notices he isn't very happy. Daniel says Kevin has seemed to take over Amber's life. He apologizes and says it must be difficult for Jana right now. Jana says they all have to be patient while this works out. Inside the cell, Amber keeps talking to Kevin, urging him to fight his way back to the world. Kevin hallucinates that Amber and the chipmunk are dancing. Kevin then remembers how Amber held him while he went to sleep in the boxcar, and he suddenly says, "Amber, you're here!" He is able to tell her that he is scared of the chipmunk. She urges him to confront it the next time he sees it. She says that's the only way to get it to go away. She tells him to do this for her. Kevin says he'll try.

Michael and Lauren have dinner at the Club. Lauren says Michael has been through so much and she doesn't know how he does it. Eden comes up and Lauren tells Michael she's already talked to her about the sex thing. Michael tells Lauren she is the reason he is making it through all of this. Sharon approaches the table and tells Lauren she's sorry about the Fenmore's items. She says she's been advised not to discuss it, but once she can, she'll explain everything. Lauren confronts Sharon about letting Eden take the fall for the stolen books. Sharon is stunned and apologizes. She says she didn't realize that she had taken the books. Lauren reminds her that the arrest could have really hurt Eden's record, college career, and future career in the job market. Lauren also informs Sharon she's going to press charges!

Phyllis visits Nick at Newman. She wants him to come home so they can talk. Nick says that is why he had to leave. He says they can't talk to one another without yelling, and he needs his space right now. Phyllis says she really needs him and she's afraid that if he doesn't come home tonight it will be the end for them. Nick wonders if this is an ultimatum, and Phyllis assures him it's not. Phyllis admits she's scared, and Nick says he is as well. He says he can't come home right now, though.

Lily returns to Cane's house. He gives her a day planner with the day May 15th bookmarked. Cane wonders how this date would be for a wedding, and Lily embraces him, thrilled.

Cane Gives Up the Lawsuit!

2009-04-21T00:15:00.000-07:00

Jack and Ashley sit in the GCAC dining room and speculate as to whether Jill has read the Restless Style article on Katherine yet. Jack says he wants a front row seat when she does. Suddenly, Jill walks into the room.

Jill approaches Cane at the GCAC bar, and he tells her that Katherine offered him a high-level job at Chancellor. He tells his mother he turned it down. Jill tells him it was dumb to turn it down right before Cordelia's custody hearing. Cane says there's too much backstabbing in business and he doesn't want that in his family. Before Cane leaves, he asks Jill to come to Cordelia's hearing with him, but Jill tells him it won't help him to be seen with the, "Wicked Witch of Genua City!" After Cane leaves, Jill spots Ashley and Jack across the room and remembers her conversation with Victor, threatening to tell Ashley about the shares he bought.

Billy confronts Chloe for confronting Mac at the coffeehouse. Mac tells Chloe that she isn't going into hiding anytime soon, so she needs to get used to being around. She also tells Chloe she is not a threat to her marriage. Mac goes to sit alone. Chloe orders a coffee and Billy tells the barista to make it a decaf. They sit down at a table, and Chloe notices Billy is nervous about the hearing as well. She is relieved that he's nervous, too, even though he denies being nervous to her. Chloe tells Billy it helps her knowing how much he cares, and he kisses her hand and reassures her that nothing is going to happen to his girls. Mac watches from across the room.

Neil tells the judge he has something to say in court. He says he's adopted before - Devon - Ana's older brother, and he thinks of Devon as his son. Neil says he feels the same way about Ana and wants to do right by her. He asks the judge to reconsider putting Ana with her mother, Tyra, the woman who made Ana who she is today. Karen and Tyra are both shocked. The judge is confused about the sudden change in heart Neil has had. Neil admits to the judge that he and Karen have been having marital problems, even though she has overlooked his mistakes. The judge calls another recess to think about things. Karen is furious, asking Neil what he's done!

Outside the courtroom, Ana is worried about what is taking so long. She worries she upset Neil and Karen by hugging Tyra. Devon tries to reassure her that everything will be all right, telling her that whoever takes her home today, he will always be there for her. Cane comes to the courthouse and Ana greets him. Devon fills Cane in on Tyra filing a petition at the last minute. Lily comes out of the courtroom and asks to speak with Cane alone.

Jill approaches Ashley and Jack in the dining room at the GCAC. Ashley teases Jill about begging Victor for a job. Jill is not pleased. She tells Ashley she bets there's a part of their conversation he left out, and she'd be happy to fill her in on it. Ashley doesn't feel well all of a sudden. Jack gets on Jill about not supporting her son, Billy. Jill warns Jack about kicking her when she's down because that's when she's the most dangerous! Ashley moans in pain again and Jill asks her what's wrong, is Satan's spawn giving you indigestion? Jack helps Ashley leave the table as Jill tells them she has something important to tell them. They tell her they don't care as they leave. In the foyer, Ashley has more pain and tells Jack she needs to see her doctor.

After Ashley and Jack leave, Jill returns to the bar at the GCAC and drinks some more. A reporter approaches her and begins to ask her questions. The reporter wants to know her reaction to Katherine saying that Jill is a fraud. Jill tells him she'll give him an exclusive - Katherine Chancellor is a fraud! Mackenzie overhears as she arrives at the Club.

Neil apologizes to Karen for having to tell the judge to reconsider. Karen is furious and she says of course Neil is sorry - he thought hiring Tyra a lawyer would be enough to beat them at getting Ana. The judge comes back and tells everyone that she's giving permanent guardianship to Tyra. Tyra rushes out of the courtroom crying. She hugs Ana and tells her the good news. Devon is confused and goes to Neil to find out what happened. Neil tells him that Tyra won with Neil's help and that Karen isn't doing well. Neil looks over and sees Karen's wedding ring on the table where she was sitting!

Lily tells Cane Neil did the right thing - Ana should have been with her mother all along. She says that she doesn't want to see Cordelia doing the same thing one day. She pleads with him to do the right thing as well.

Neil goes home and finds Karen packing her suitcase. She tells him she's going to get as far away from here as she can get! Karen accuses Neil of having wanted this outcome the entire time. She says Neil always has to be the good guy - he can't let anyone down - not even his mistress. Karen thinks that their entire relationship has been a lie, but Neil argues that the entire thing has been true. Karen accuses Neil of using her to get over his dead wife. Karen explains that this never felt right from the beginning, but he kept coming after her with a bunch of promises and she believed him. Neil grabs Karen's arm as she tries to leave and when he won't let go, saying he loves her, Karen hits him in the face. Karen keeps hitting Neil in the chest, sobbing and saying she hates him. The door opens and Devon, Ana, and Tyra stand there, shocked. Ana is worried Karen is upset about her. Karen reassures her this isn't her fault and that she'll miss her. She takes her things and leaves. Neil calls her name, but she doesn't respond before she leaves. Karen sobs as the elevator door closes. Neil holds Karen's ring in the palm of his hand inside his apartment. Ana wants to know where she and Tyra go from here?

Billy and Chloe arrive at the courthouse, shortly followed by Rafe. He greets them and wants to get them settled into the courtroom. Cane asks to speak to Chloe alone, and she agrees. They go into an empty courtroom. Chloe begins to rant about how Cordelia needs her mother, and Cane agrees, shocking Chloe. Cane says he's been thinking about what he would tell Delia when she asked about her mom, and he can't think of a single reason he could tell her about why he took her away from Chloe. Cane and Chloe both grew up without mothers, and Cane says their daughter won't be the same. Cane tells Chloe he's going to drop the lawsuit, and she embraces him, thanking him. Cane says he will be keeping an eye on her, and Chloe says he will always be there - he is part of the family. Cane tells Chloe she'll have to change the name on the birth certificate, and Chloe says that won't be a problem.

In the hall, Lily tells Billy what is going on, and Billy thanks her for helping him. He tells Lily that he really did care about her in their relationship, and she says she knows. She says that no one else could have helped her through that difficult time, and she thanks him for being there for her. Chloe and Cane emerge from the courtroom and Billy and Chloe hug as do Cane and Lily.

Ashley and Jack arrive at the Ranch. Jack tells Estella that the doctor ordered a lot of rest for Ashley. Estella offers to get Ashley some tea, but Ashley says she'll just have water. Estella tries to insist that tea is best because that's what Sabrina said, but Ashley tells Estella firmly that she wants water. Ashley goes to her room, leaving Jack in the living room. Adam comes in and he and Jack briefly discuss his sight. Adam tells Jack he can see other things now - like Jack's true nature and the fact that Jack will fall. Jack says Adam's blindness hasn't changed his character - it just gives him another way to manipulate people. Jack says Hope never used her disability to manipulate others. Ashley overhears and she comes back downstairs, telling Jack to leave. Ashley apologizes for Jack and Adam says Jack was right about one thing - he isn't worth much these days.

Tyra and Karen Face Off in Court

2009-04-17T23:17:00.000-07:00

Cane shows up at Jill's table at the GCAC and surprises her. He tells her Michael says he has a real shot at getting custody of Delia. Jill asks what time the hearing is and wishes Cane luck. Cane asks his mother if she's talked to Katherine, and Jill tells him she hasn't and she doesn't expect to either because Kay fired her from Chancellor. Cane wonders what is next for his mother, and Jill informs him she has a plan, but won't tell him what it is until its a sure thing.

Katherine and Mac sit out on the patio at the coffeehouse in silence. Finally, Katherine tells Mac about the latest round with Jill and they begin to discuss misunderstandings. Mac alludes to her situation with Billy. Kay tells Mackenzie she thought Chloe had an agenda initially and told her about the first time Cane brought her over to meet them. She tells Mackenzie how Esther dropped the tray she was carrying when she laid eyes on her daughter and how they all realized in that moment that Chloe was actually Kate. Katherine goes on to say that Chloe has made some bad decisions in her lifetime, but both she and Billy love Cordelia. Kay says the best thing Billy can do for Cordelia is to lover her mother, and Mac thinks about this.

Billy is dreaming of Mackenzie as he is awakened to Cordelia crying and Chloe requesting that he get her. Once they are both up, Chloe brings up the subject of Mac and how she's decided to stay in town. Billy admits he ran into her last night at the bookstore when he went to get the nursery rhyme books for Cordelia. Chloe asks Billy why he didn't tell her about his encounter last night, and he says he didn't feel it was important enough to wake her up for. Chloe begins to panic about the possibility of losing Cordelia and tries to find the perfect outfit for her daughter to wear to court. She wonders what she and Billy are going to do if they lose Cordelia. Chloe suddenly announces that she needs to go somewhere and leaves Billy to finish dressing Cordelia.

Karen and Neil are at Newman with Ana. She asks if her mom will be at the adoption hearing and Karen says she probably will be because it's an important day. Neil thinks about how he helped Tyra get her own lawyer to file her own adoption petition. Devon arrives and asks Ana where she wants to go while Karen and Neil are in court. She wants to go to the coffeehouse, so she and Devon leave. Victoria enters the room and asks Neil to see Victor. When Neil leaves, Victoria remarks that Karen doesn't seem as excited as she had expected on Ana's adoption hearing date.

Victor talks with Neil about the new fragrance line and how he expects the Board of Directors to pass it. Neil is distracted. He tells Victor that today is Ana's adoption hearing and that no matter what the outcome is, someone is going to get hurt. He says that only one woman can be Ana's legal mother and the other woman will have her heart broken. He also admits to Victor that he's made some bad decisions recently.

At Indigo, Lily confronts Tyra about sleeping with her father and hiring a lawyer behind Karen's back to file her own adoption petition. Ana and Devon walk in and Ana gives Tyra a poem she wrote about what a great mom she is! Lily pulls Devon aside and demands to know why he didn't tell her about Neil and Tyra. Devon says he wanted to tell her, but didn't know how. He watches Ana and Tyra interact and remarks that this is how it should be.

J.T. reports to Victor. Victor wants to know how the digging on Colleen is going, and J.T. says he doesn't think Colleen has done a thing wrong in her life! Victor demands that J.T. keep digging to find something to get Colleen out of her board seat as soon as possible. J.T. wonders if Victoria knows what Victor is doing, and Victor says of course she doesn't know! Victor demands that J.T. not tell her, either. As J.T. leaves Victor's office, Victoria comes in. Victor tells Victoria that she's going to head up the new fragrance line, and Victoria is pleased.

Karen, Neil, and Rafe sit in the courtroom when the judge asks if the other petitioner is coming. Karen is confused. Tyra walks in with her lawyer and sits down. Neil appears to be uncomfortable and Karen looks at him, shocked. Karen wants to know if Neil knew about this and if he helped Tyra file a petition. Neil mutters that he thought it was the right thing to do. Rafe stands up and tells the judge about how Neil and Dru adopted Devon and helped him turn his life around. Neil and Karen express their intention to adopt Ana and to give her a good, stable home. The judge tells Neil and Karen that she will have no problem granting their petition! Tyra's lawyer tells the judge everything Tyra has done for Ana from the time she was a teenager. She asks the judge to consider that in making her decision because Tyra wants to legally adopt Ana now that Yolanda's parental rights have been terminated. Karen and Tyra have a yelling match, and the judge calls for order. Rafe apologizes for his client's outburst. The judge requests to speak to Ana to find out how Ana feels about living with each party. Neil calls Devon to have him bring Ana to the courthouse.

Cane runs into Katherine at Jabot. She tells Cane that Jill's things being boxed up and her being fired was a misunderstanding. She tells him that Mitchell Sherman ordered that change - not her. She tells Cane not to tell Jill about this yet though because she believes they need some time apart. Cane asks Kay if he is going to be fired from his job, and Katherine tells him he is only going to move upstairs to take his place in his father's company - Chancellor Industries. Katherine wants Cane to be CEO, but he tells her that while he appreciates the offer he has to decline because of what is going on with his mom. He tells Katherine to tell the Abbott family he quit Jabot.

Jill finds Mackenzie in the coffeehouse and wants to know why she stayed in town. Mac tells her she knows Billy is taken. Jill tells Mac that Billy is completely off-limits to which Mac replies she isn't the one with a history of going after married men! An angry Jill walks away.

Lily, Devon, and Ana go to the bookstore. Billy and the baby appear at the bookstore as well and Billy asks Lily if he can talk to her. He says he knows they never really broke up, but he's sorry about the way things ended between them. He says he's a better person for having met her and he hopes someday they can be friends again. Billy wants to know if Lily can get through to Cane about Delia - she should be with her parents. Devon appears and tells Lily that they need to get to the courthouse - Neil just called.

Chloe is at a church praying. She says she knows she's done some rotten things. She begs God not to punish her daughter for the mistakes she's made. She says Cordelia needs her and she needs Cordelia, too.

Victoria meets J.T. at the coffeehouse and tells J.T. how she has been put in charge of the new fragrance line. She says she hopes the board passes it, but she isn't sure about the wild card - Colleen. She says she hopes that everything goes well and that Colleen and Victor don't get into it at the board meeting, messing everything up.

Jill finds Victor at Newman and offers herself for his service. Victor laughs and tells her he already has a great team of employees. Victor says he's not interested in hiring her. Jill says Jack has been wondering who bought the Jabot stock, and she threatens to tell Ashley Victor bought it. Victor doesn't care - he tells her to take up needlepoint because she's going to have a lot of spare time on her hands.

Ana arrives at the courthouse and takes the witness stand in the courtroom. The judge asks her about her life and activities with Neil and Karen versus Tyra. Ana says she loves all of them, but Tyra is her mother. Ana goes over to hug her mom, and the judge requests she go back into the hallway to wait with Devon for a little bit. The judge tells everyone she will make a decision soon and puts the court in recess. Karen wants to know who's side Neil is on! The judge comes back and says she hopes all of the petitioners can work together for Ana's best interest - it is good to have a lot of people who love you around you. She says she's decided to grant Neil and Karen the legal right to adopt Ana. Karen is relieve and Tyra cries. Neil stands up suddenly and asks the judge to wait - he has something he wants to say!

Chloe sees Mac at the coffeehouse and tells her that she and Billy are married now and that Mac better not be staying around because she hopes she can have Billy back - she says Billy is not interested in going backwards. Billy walks in and hears Chloe. He asks Chloe what the heck she is doing?!

Neil Gets Tyra A Lawyer

2009-04-16T21:16:00.000-07:00

Katherine and Mackenzie discuss Jill at the coffeehouse. Neither one of them understand why Jill is acting the way she is. Katherine says she has to find a way to get through to Jill. Talk then turns to Mac and Billy. Katherine asks Mac if any part of her decision to stay around Genua City had to do with Billy. Mac avoids the question, and Katherine goes off to find Jill to talk with her.

Lily runs into Karen in the bookstore and asks her how she is. Karen tells Lily she doesn't have to pretend, and Lily isn't sure what she's talking about. Karen is surprised Devon didn't tell Lily about Neil and Tyra. Lily asks her what is going on. Karen tells her she should talk to her father about it, but when Lily presses, Karen tells her that Neil and Tyra had an affair. Lily says her father would never do that, but Karen tells Lily that Neil admitted to it. Lily is shocked, and she assumes that Ana's adoption is on hold. Karen tells her they are moving forward with the adoption, and this worries Lily.

Billy looks out the window and thinks about Mac in the pool house. Chloe and Cordelia are also there. Chloe asks Billy which outfit makes her look more like Mom of the Year. She is preparing for the custody hearing, which is taking place tomorrow. Chloe asks Billy if he's still in love with Mac and hoping for a fairy tale ending, because if he is, they're screwed. Billy assures Chloe he has no plans to cut out on her. Billy admits he loved Mac once and felt something when she returned, but she's gone now, and he's with his family where he should be.

Cane and Michael meet about the custody suit. Cane wants to ensure they win; he wants to go after Billy with everything he has. He asks Michael if that is going to be a problem for him. Michael tells Cane that it's hard for him to imagine two brothers going after each other like this because he'd give anything to have his brother sitting with him right now!

Rafe, Neil, and Tyra meet at the coffeehouse about Ana's adoption hearing. Neil wants Tyra to be able to file her own petition. Rafe is shocked that Neil wants Tyra to file her own petition and to get custody of Ana while he appears to be standing by his wife in court. Rafe tells Neil that what he is suggesting is a major conflict of interest, but offers to refer Tyra to another lawyer all the same. Later, Rafe calls with a referral fro Tyra. Tyra wonders if Neil hates her - she is ruining his life. Neil tells her he doesn't hate her, and kisses her hand as Lily walks in.

Neil follows Lily. She tells her father that Karen told her what happened between him and Tyra. She is angry with him, but admits it isn't her business. Neil tells Lily it isn't her business, but what happened between him and Tyra was a one-time thing, not an on-going affair. Neil tells Lily that he is beginning to think that adopting Ana is a bad idea. When Lily learns that Neil helped Tyra get her own lawyer, she says that they got married in order to hold onto Ana. If they lose Ana, they are going to have to figure out if they love each other enough to stay married.

Rafe visits Billy and Chloe. He says it would be a good idea to take Cordelia to the hearing. They are shocked and wonder if he's trying to say that they might lose! Rafe says that no one knows for sure who is going to win. He wants them to be prepared, but he didn't mean to freak them out in the process. After Rafe leaves, Chloe begins to panic, thinking about the possibility of losing her baby. She wants to go out and get the books of vintage nursery rhymes so she can read them to Cordelia on what might be her last night with her mother. Billy kisses her forehead and reassures Chloe that Cane isn't going to win. Billy goes out to get the nursery rhyme books so they can start reading them to Delia. Esther comes over and tells Chloe that Mackenzie decided to stay after all. Chloe begins to panic and tries to call Billy, but he doesn't answer.

Jill arrives at Jabot for work, but finds all of her things in boxes. She asks who did this, but before a staff member can answer, she says she already knows who did it. Katherine arrives shortly afterward, and finds an angry Jill. Katherine doesn't understand why she's angry - she just wants to talk. Jill tells Katherine that she was fired thanks to her! Katherine said she didn't fire Jill, and she doesn't know what she's talking about. Jill wonders how she ever believed that Katherine loved her as a daughter. Jill believes Katherine only made her CEO of Chancellor because it was expected of her. Now that Katherine knows Jill is not her daughter, she isn't obligated to keep her at Chancellor anymore! Katherine tries to protest, but Jill won't listen. Katherine tells Jill that she's hurt and upset and she's projecting those things onto her. Jill wants Katherine to admit that she never loved Jill as her daughter. Jill keeps pushing and Katherine becomes frustrated. Katherine finally tells Jill that she's glad that this person right in front of her isn't her daughter.

Mac runs into Michael at the coffeehouse and accompanies him to the psychiatric hospital where Kevin is staying. She wants to help Kevin find his way back like she did before. Mac goes into Kevin's room and he backs away as she begins to speak to him. Mac tells him a little about her life and encourages him, telling him she is going to be there for him. Kevin hallucinates the chipmunk again! Mac tells Kevin she'll be back to see him again soon before she leaves his room. Michael is discouraged that Kevin didn't seem to recognize Mac, but Mac assures Michael that she'll come back to see Kevin again - she's still his friend. Inside his room, Kevin whispers, Mac." Michael goes in to see Kevin and reminds him of all the people who love him. Michael tries to touch Kevin's shoulder, but he flinches.

Cane arrives at Jill's office at Jabot and they talk about what happened with Katherine. Jill tells Cane there is a lot of bad blood between she and Katherine and they have fallen back into that dark place again. Jill tells Cane Katherine admitted she is glad Jill isn't her daughter. Cane offers to take her out for dinner to cheer her up. Jill says he's a good son, but she wants him to rest for the hearing tomorrow regarding Cordelia's custody. Cane says he doesn't understand why Katherine is treating Jill this way - he wants Delia even though he isn't her biological father, and he can't understand why Kay doesn't want Jill because they aren't biologically related. Cane leaves and Jill thinks about better times she and Katherine shared as she packs up her office.

At the coffeehouse, Katherine talks with Murphy about Jill. Kay feels Jill is trying to destroy everything good that they shared and she doesn't know what to do. Murphy thinks Jill is lashing out at Kay because she's in pain. Katherine says it's so sad that Kevin is in trouble right now because he believed in her, but Jill never did. Murphy suggests they go home, but Kay asks him if he'd mind if she just sits alone for a while.

Billy is surprised when he finds Mac at the bookstore! He asks her if she got his number from Brock, and when she says she did, Billy wants to know why she didn't call him. Mac tells him to ask his wife! Billy asks her why she really stayed around, but Mackenzie avoids his question. Billy presses her to say that she stayed in Genua City because of him. He suddenly grabs her and kisses her!

Karen and Neil meet up at the Club, and Neil informs her they need to talk about some things before the hearing tomorrow. Karen asserts there's nothing to talk about - they're going forward with the adoption. She says Neil came into her life, and made her believe she could be a mother again. Neil tells her he doesn't want to hurt her to which Karen responds, "Then don't." She leaves to go home.

Lily finds Cane at the GCAC waiting for his mother. Lily tells him he's a great son. Lily tells Cane she'll come to the hearing tomorrow and support him, but she wants him to think about whether this is really the right thing to do or not before he goes in there tomorrow. Cane tells Lily that he's doing the right thing and he's certain of it.

Sharon asks the maid to take the mirror with the lipstick on it out of her room and she does. Jack suggests that Sharon move in with him for a little while, but she says she'll be fine here. Jack also suggests she get a different room in the Club, but Sharon insists she'll be fine where she is. Sharon admits to Jack that she took the things, but she didn't write that she hates herself on the mirror in lipstick, even though she feels that way sometimes. Jack offers to stay with Sharon for a while, but she says he has been up all night, too, and sends him on his way home.

Noah comes downstairs at the tack house and asks Phyllis if his dad ever came home last night. Phyllis says he didn't and tells Noah that his dad is going through some things right now that have nothing to do with him. Noah thinks they are fighting about him. Phyllis tries to reassure him that they aren't fighting about him, but he is convinced they are and he takes off.

At Victoria's, Nick comes downstairs and J.T. offers him coffee. As Nick is getting himself some coffee, J.T. informs him that Sharon was arrested last night for grand theft. Nick grabs his coat, telling J.T. he is going down to the jail. J.T. calls after Nick, telling him Sharon already made bail, as he leaves the house.

At the Club, Nikki runs into Lily and shows her the covers of Restless Style with Katherine on them. Lily says she wants both of them, and Nikki hopes the rest of the readers feel the same way. They talk about Lily's modeling career and Nikki tells her it's a shame she dropped modeling. She offers Lily a cover of Restless Style if she ever feels like getting into modeling again.

Murphy chats with Katherine at the Club, but soon realizes that she isn't really paying attention. He notices that she's staring at Jill. Katherine feels guilty for talking to Jill the way she did, but Murphy reminds her that Jill said some hurtful things as well. Nikki approaches them with the new Restless Style covers and suggests Katherine come to the office with her. Katherine makes sure it is all right with Murphy, and he tells her to go enjoy herself - he'll be fine. Nikki and Katherine leave together.

Nick arrives at Sharon's room. He wants to know what is going on. Sharon tells Nick that she did steal those things - she doesn't remember doing it, but she knows she did. She explains that she's been losing pieces of time and that she finds things in her purse later. She says she is responsible for stealing the books Eden was blamed for, and she's glad that Michael is such a good lawyer. She says that stealing could have really done damage to Eden's record! Sharon tells Nick what her room looked like when she came back last night and that someone had cut up her clothes. She says she knows she didn't do that. Nick asks her if she think Phyllis did it. Sharon tells him whoever did it did her a favor because she couldn't go on like that. Nick remarks that she's had a tough year. Sharon tells Nick that she can't continue to use him as a lifeline, but Nick tells her he is volunteering. Sharon tells him to go back to his wife and child - she doesn't want to be responsible for breaking up his marriage or damaging it further.

At Restless Style, Phyllis is trying to reassure Noah that he won't go to military school for messing up with Eden. As she gets off the phone, Katherine and Nikki arrive. Nikki tells Phyllis that Restless Style is selling out on the east cost and they need to do another print! Nikki then asks where Nick is - he's not at Newman. Phyllis admits that Nick left and she isn't sure where he is either. Phyllis tells Nikki she's scared that she and Nick are past the point of no return in their marriage, but Nikki says that Nick loves her. Katherine comes over and joins the conversation. Katherine remarks that she can't reach Jill. Nikki tells both women to learn from her mistakes - the more she chased Victor, the more distance he put between them. She advises the women to sit back and give their loved ones some distance. Katherine thinks Jill needs reassurance of Katherine's love for her. Nikki tells them that their loved ones need some time to miss them.

Murphy finds Jill at the coffeehouse. He tries to help her see that Katherine doesn't mind if she and Jill are biologically related - Katherine still sees Jill as her daughter. Jill says she feels like the past six years of her life has been a lie. Murphy tells her that loss is a part of life, but that she and Katherine still love each other! Jill finally seems hopeful, and asks Murphy if he really thinks she and Katherine can get past their differences. However, she sees the Restless Style cover and claims that Katherine and Nikki are trying to rub her face in it. Jill tells Murphy that she and Katherine will never reconcile. She says Murphy seems like a nice enough guy, but now he's swimming with sharks and there's blood in the water. She leaves.

Jack and Colleen meet at the Club to discuss how her meeting with Victor went. Jack wonders if Victor knows that she plans on opposing him on the new fragrance line. Colleen replies that Victor doesn't know yet, but he will once she gets some other board members to support her with Jack's help. Jack wonders if Colleen still wants to be the Fresh Face of Jabot. Colleen says she isn't sure - that was a long time ago. He tells her that the Abbotts are getting control of Jabot back as soon as Katherine is legal again. Colleen is thrilled and she agrees to be the Fresh Face. Jack tells her that he's set up a fitting for her today, and Colleen recognizes that Jack wants a Newman board member as the Fresh Face of Jabot. Jack doesn't deny that he wants this, imagining how Victor will react when he sees the billboards.

When J.T. arrives at Victor's house, Victor tells him he wants J.T. to get Colleen off the Newman board as soon as possible. J.T. is hesitant - he isn't comfortable with this - he's known Colleen since they were kids. Victor reminds J.T. who he works for - Newman security - and demands that J.T. keep him informed. J.T. informs Victor that Sharon was arrested for theft, and Victor is quite shocked at this news.

At the Club, Nikki and Katherine find Murphy and Katherine confesses that she's worried about how Jill will react to the Restless Style covers. Murphy tells Katherine Jill already saw the cover and she isn't happy about it. Katherine announces that she is not going to give up on Jill.

Jack runs into Jill at the coffeehouse. Jack informs Jill that Katherine is giving control of Jabot back to the Abbotts. Jill reminds him that Cane is still the CEO of Jabot for now. Jack wonders who sold Jill the 5% of shares in the first place. He guesses that since she got screwed, it was Victor. Jill tells him to have a good day, not telling him who sold her the stock.

Colleen and Lily chat at the coffeehouse. Colleen informs Lily that she's going to a fitting at Jabot for the Fresh Face campaign and she doesn't really want to. Lily tells her that she loved the fittings - she got to see all the clothes before they hit the stores. Colleen asks Lily if she's still okay with her doing the Fresh Face of Jabot and Lily tells her it's fine, but when Colleen leaves, Lily seems sad.

Nick and Noah meet at the Club. Noah wants to know what is going on with his dad and Phyllis. Nick tells Noah that they're having a hard time. He then informs Noah that Sharon was arrested last night for theft. Eden comes up and asks Noah if he's heard about his mom. She says that Sharon stole the books that day and let her take the fall for it! Nick tells Eden this isn't a good time, but Noah tells his dad that he's taking Eden home.

Later on, Colleen returns to the coffeehouse and finds J.T. She tells him that she thinks Victor is warming up to the idea of her being on the Board of Directors. He gives her a look, and she says she's no fool, she knows how Victor operates. J.T. tells her she doesn't know the half of it, and suggests she sell her seat on the board for some money, but Colleen doesn't want to do that.

Jill runs into Victor at the Club and thanks him for making her a pawn in one of his games. Victor tells her everything that happened was her own fault because of her attitude and behavior toward Katherine.

Across the room, Lily tells Nikki she's interested in modeling for Restless Style.

Katherine approaches Jill and Jill makes a big deal of the "hatchet job" Nikki did on the article on Katherine in Restless Style. Katherine tells her they need to settle the estate. Jill tells Katherine to have her lawyer call Jill's lawyer and she leaves.

Noah arrives at Sharon's room at the Club. When she answers the door, Noah demands how Sharon could do this to Eden. Noah accuses Sharon of blaming Eden for the stolen books to break them up because she doesn't like Eden. Sharon tries to tell Noah that it wasn't intentional, but he doesn't listen. Noah wants to know what is wrong with her - her life is a mess! Sharon says she's going through a hard time, and Noah storms out. After Noah leaves, Sharon calls her mom and tells her she is falling apart. She says she was finally caught and arrested for stealing.

Nick arrives at Restless Style and asks Phyllis if she set Sharon up. Phyllis denies setting her up. Phyllis wants to know if Nick is going to come home, if they are over, or if he's going back to Sharon. Nick informs Phyllis that he will be staying with Victoria for a while. Phyllis goes back to work, and Nick watches her.

Noah runs down the stairs at the Club. He sees Jack and tells him how screwed up his parents are. Jack offers Noah a place in his home for a while, but Victor tells Noah he will stay with him at the Ranch - he is family.

Michael tries to get the judge to see that Kevin is not a harm to anyone but himself. He tells the judge that Kevin has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that stemmed from years of severe emotional and physical abuse. He also says Kevin is suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome and was forced to commit the crimes by Clint. Heather tells the judge that Michael is just speculating, and that the state deals in facts. She says the fact is that there's a videotape with Kevin robbing a bank. Amber has an outburst, trying to get the judge to see that Kevin was forced to commit those crimes.

Lauren tells Noah to take Eden straight home and to not make her regret this. When Lauren leaves, Eden suggests they go to his dad's place so that she can be there with him when he tells his dad they came back and why. Noah agrees.

Phyllis calls a park ranger at the tack house. She says she is concerned that her husband went up to the cabin and hasn't come back yet. The ranger confirms that he went to the cabin, but hasn't seen the car come down yet. He offers to relay a message for her, but she declines the offer. Phyllis begins to panic - she believes Sharon and Nick will sleep together again. Phyllis grabs her coat and leaves the tack house.

Nick and Sharon agree that it was so wonderful the last time they were at the cabin. They both admit they've had trouble letting their feelings go.

Sharon goes to get dressed, and Nick whispers, "Phyllis...."

Noah and Eden arrive at the tack house and find it empty. Noah asks her if she's hungry. Eden admits she's starving. She asks Noah to tell her the truth - is he disappointed that she said she was ready, but after they drove to the cabin she changed her mind? Noah tells her that she was being honest and he could never be disappointed with that. Eden admits she was surprised at herself because she grew up at the ashram around free love. Noah tells Eden that it's okay - he wants the first time to be perfect, too. They talk about how neither one of them are "experienced" and how it's expected of boys. They agree that the cabin wasn't the right time or place. They begin to passionately kiss.

Phyllis opens a nightstand drawer and stops. She's found a bunch of stolen things. She writes, "I hate myself," on a mirror with lipstick. Then, she calls the police, telling them she's a maid at the Club and she's found something horrible while cleaning - could they come and check it out?

Lauren arrives at the courthouse to witness the chaos with Kevin and Amber. Things are brought under control. Michael yells, "This is insane!" Heather replies that it must run in the family. The judge is fed up, and tells everyone he'll observe Kevin in his own chambers and make a decision then. After Kevin and the judge have left, Michael tells Amber she needs to listen to him and be quiet! Daniel reiterates that Michael is trying to help her, and she needs to shut up.

The judge returns to the courtroom and tells everyone he thinks Kevin should go to a psychiatric hospital to be evaluated and observed until his court date. Michael thanks the judge. Heather reminds the judge that they still need to deal with Amber. Michael tries to convince the judge that Amber isn't responsible for her actions because she was forced to comply. The judge says that because Amber has no indication of a mental illness, her charges will stand, and he sets bail at one million dollars. Katherine tells Daniel and Amber that she'll cover her bail. Amber and Daniel both thank her, and Amber tells Katherine she'll repay her every cent, but Katherine tells Amber she already has!

Nick and Sharon arrive at the coffeehouse, looking for Noah. When they find out he left, Nick says he should go home and talk to Noah. Sharon offers to come with him, but he says that's probably not a good idea. Sharon agrees and asks Nick to have Noah call her so she can talk to him as well.

Katherine tells her that she and Kevin will be at the wedding. Amber cries. Daniel comes into the courtroom and hugs Amber. Amber tells him that she didn't rob that bank.

Michael talks to Kevin in his jail cell. Michael tries to ask Kevin how his leg is and if he can remember anything about Clint or how he made him rob the banks.

Michael tells Heather that Kevin was abused as a child and needs help. He wants her to agree to a psychological evaluation. Heather tells Michael Kevin is faking - he has a criminal history, and she won't agree to the evaluation. Michael tells Heather that if Kevin has to stay in jail, it'll kill him.

Inside the courtroom, Katherine tells Gloria to leave her alone. Katherine offers Michael her help with Kevin, offering to cover his bail bond. Katherine says she can testify about Clint, but Michael tells her that with her memory loss, she won't make a good witness. Michael tells everyone he is going to ask the judge to put Kevin in a psych hospital. He tells them it will be safer for Kevin there than in jail. Jana cries.

As Ashley leaves the Club, Jack gets a call. It is the park officer, telling him that Noah is headed up to the cabin with a girl.

Jack suggests that he, Mary Jane, and her husband have dinner sometime when he visits.

Nick tells Phyllis he loves her and Summer at the tack house. Phyllis points out that he keeps leaving her to go help Sharon. Phyllis says she doesn't run to Jack whenever she has a problem - how would Nick feel if she did? Nick says Phyllis made a good point, and he'll stop going to her so much when she needs him. The phone rings and it's Sharon. Phyllis begs Nick not to answer the phone, but he does. Sharon tells Nick about Noah and Eden, and Nick tells Sharon he'll come over to pick her up. Nick tells Phyllis what is going on, and Phyllis insists that he not go up to the cabin with Sharon. Nick tells her he isn't going to argue about this - his son needs him. After Nick has left, Phyllis calls his cell and leaves him a message. She says she understands he needs to be there for his son and she's sorry about reacting the way she did - she's just so confused.

At the Ranch, Ashley arrives home to find Victoria. Victoria says she was there getting Reed's blanket, but she was hoping to run into Ashley. She asks her how she's feeling, and Ashley is surprised at this. The women agree that Victoria hasn't been very supportive of Ashley and the pregnancy. Victoria apologizes and tells Ashley that it caught her off guard.

Victoria says sometimes she can still feel Sabrina's presence. Estella comes into the room to give Victoria Reed's blanket. Adam also comes into the room. Ashley asks if Victoria's seen the red egg, then asks Estella if she's asked the rest of the staff about it. Estella takes offense. When Victoria leaves, Estella helps Adam get up the stairs.

Missing Updates

2009-04-12T20:26:00.000-07:00

My DTV converter box decided to die on Thursday, so that's why there's been no updates for a few days. I'm sorry about that. I am going to post Friday's update later tonight, and then this week's updates should be posted as usual.

Phyllis Begs Sharon to Get Help

2009-04-07T23:50:00.000-07:00

Eden and Noah make out in his car. His phone vibrates, but he doesn't answer it. Sharon is calling him to find out where he is. He gets frustrated that he and Eden have to sneak around - he says making out in the car is so cliche. He and Eden talk about how they can get an apartment together in college. Noah phone vibrates again, and Eden tells him they should head home now. She says they will always be together one day.

Sharon calls Phyllis in the middle of the night when she cannot reach Noah. Phyllis answers the phone and Sharon does not tell her that Noah is missing. She simply asks to speak to Nick. Phyllis does not tell her that Nick has left, but rather to find someone else. She hangs up. Sharon shows up at Phyllis' house before too long, and she tells her that Nick isn't there. Phyllis mocks Sharon's shock, telling her that he always goes to his poor, needy Sharon. Phyllis asks Sharon why she's hurting Nick, and Sharon says she isn't. Phyllis tells Sharon that it's odd that she loves him, but insists on hurting him. She accuses Sharon of trying to take Nick away from her and Summer. Sharon insists that she's not trying to do this, but Phyllis doesn't listen. Phyllis says they all know that Sharon is losing it, and that Nick feels like he broke her and that is why he is trying to fix her. Phyllis encourages Sharon to get some help. She says Sharon's drowning and she's going to pull Nick down with her. Sharon tells Phyllis it is not her fault that Brad died - it was a tragic accident. Sharon says that Phyllis only wants to get rid of Sharon and she doesn't need help.

Katherine has trouble sleeping at the Chancellor mansion, keeping Murphy awake as well. Murphy tells her if she needs to talk, she should. Katherine hugs Murphy and tells him that he is her rock. They play cards in bed, and Katherine compares her relationship with Jill to her relationship with Nikki. Katherine blames herself for the huge fight at the wedding, and Murphy assures her it wasn't her fault. He reminds her that so many people are happy that she is back. They talk about Kevin and Amber, and Murphy admits he is worried about them. He says he thinks they are good kids, no matter what the police are saying they've done. Murphy tells Katherine that Mac and Brock want to save the world just like she does, but she needs to give herself a break - she may not be able to help Amber and Kevin no matter how much she wants to do so.

Chloe talks to Cordelia at the pool house. She says there's nothing to worry about - daddy just put a ring on her finger. Chloe recounts the first time she and Billy met in New York and tells Cordelia that she knew they were meant to be together. She says she was born a Valentine and Billy a Chancellor, and even though he isn't a Chancellor after all, he is still the man for her. She tells Cordelia more about the time in which she and Billy were getting to know each other. She recalls that Billy did mention Mac and his brief marriage to her, but Chloe didn't think she was real. Chloe looks Mac and Billy up on the computer and discovers they were in love and that they were going to get married.

Mac wants to know why Billy is outside with her instead of with Chloe - his new wife. He tells her that he needed to get some air. She asks, "There wasn't air at the pool house?" Billy wonders who else could understand them just finding out that they are not related. Billy says he's been busy playing, gambling, and clubbing while she's been away. He says he didn't do anything serious like she did in Darfur. Mac says she doesn't judge Billy - she ran away, too. He remembers how awful it was when they found out that they were cousins, telling Mac they got robbed of their lives that day. Billy notices that they haven't come back to Genua City at the same time until now because they couldn't risk it - the attraction to one another was too great. Mackenzie tells Billy she's moved on with her life and so has he. She says that his wife and daughter are proof that he's moved on. Billy wants to talk - he asks Mac who she thought about when she found out the results of the DNA test. Mac recounts the horrors of Darfur to Billy, and tells him she is going to go back there. Billy cannot believe that she's going to walk back out of his life again already.

Nick sits down by Jack at the bar. Jack tells Nick that he's there because he just signed divorce papers. Nick claims he is there just to drink. Jack guesses that Phyllis is on a tear about something again, and Nick takes offense - he says he won't allow Jack to use him or Phyllis for target practice. Jack apologizes. He tells Nick he knows Phyllis loves him a lot - a lot more than he thought she could ever love someone. Jack also tells Nick that he knows Sharon loves him. Nick wonders why Jack is telling him this - does he resent him? Jack says that the two women he holds in high regard think he's a pretty good guy and that one of them is going to get hurt. He says he knows that is eating Nick up, and that he isn't focused on resenting Nick - he just sees the guy he helped raise suffering. Nick wonders how Jack knows he's suffering, and Jack says that Phyllis is suffering, and he must be as well. Jack tells Nick that she needs him right now, and Nick says that Sharon is just having a rough time right now. Jack tells him he meant Phyllis - it is hard to remember she is vulnerable sometimes. Jack guesses that Nick is there trying to decide which one he loves more, but Jack figures out that Nick loves both women equally. He calls Nick a poor fool.

Jack runs into Mary Jane Benson in the Club later. She tells him that she is headed back to New York. He encourages her to stay - telling her the power struggle for Jabot has just begun, and if he becomes CEO of Jabot again he'll need the best to polish his image. Mary Jane gets a text from her husband and smiles. Jack says it's rare that texts from spouses make them smile these days. Jack tries to get her to stick around, but Mary Jane insists she's leaving and tells Jack to look her up the next time he's in New York.

Noah shows up at the tack house while Phyllis and Sharon continue to argue. Noah thinks they are there to double team him, but Phyllis leaves the room, saying she's going to check on Summer. Sharon is angry that Noah didn't tell her where he was going or when he'd be back. Noah says he and Eden will find a way to be together, and she doesn't want them to be together because she is alone and miserable and wants everyone else to be alone and miserable, too. Sharon tells Noah he is being disrespectful and she didn't raise him to be that way. Sharon tells Noah that he will fall in love again and that he'll look back on his youth and realize how many stupid mistakes he's made. Noah tells her she is talking about her and Nick, not him and Eden. He asks her if she could have Nick back, if she would take him. Noah tells her not to answer that because he already knows she would. He tells her he is going up to his room and leaves. Nick walks into the house and finds Sharon. They discuss what Noah has done and what they should do about him and Eden. Phyllis suggests they all rest and talk about what to do in the morning when they are not so frustrated. Sharon leaves.

Chloe approaches Mac and Billy, telling Cordelia, "See, Delia, I told you we'd find daddy!" Chloe says she thought Billy might be here talking with Mac, and here he is. Mac remarks that Cordelia is beautiful, and Chloe thanks her. Chloe asks Billy if he'd like to do Delia's next feeding since he looks so awake? Billy tells Chloe that he and Mac aren't finished yet, but Mac says they are and walks away, remarking he has a beautiful family.

Chloe rehashes the problems of the wedding night once she and Billy are back in bed at the pool house. Billy asks her if she's going to freak out will she just do it and get it over with? She kisses him, turns over, and turns the light off.

Inside the Chancellor mansion, Mac runs into Katherine, who tells her she is so happy she is home. Katherine wants Mac to promise not to leave anytime soon, and embraces her granddaughter.

Jack welcomes Mackenzie as she arrives at the Chancellor Mansion. Billy is shocked to see her. Mac says she came back because she heard that her grandmother might still be alive. Billy introduces Chloe and Mac to one another. They hear the commotion in the other room, and Jack wonders what all the noise is. They all go to see what is going on and find Katherine and Jill fighting in the cake. Chloe is displeased that her wedding cake is ruined. Nikki tells them all they have good news. Katherine says she now has proof that she is Katherine Chancellor and that, "this thing," is not her daughter. She gestures toward Jill. Mac and Billy are both taken aback.

Sharon apologizes for being such a mess and crying on Nick's shoulder. She says she had a terrible day - she left Chloe's wedding because she wasn't feeling well, and then had to deal with Phyllis. Nick said he saw Phyllis being escorted out of the building. She regrets that she and Nick are fighting over her again and asks him to leave. Nick tells her he isn't going anywhere and that Phyllis needs to stop obsessing over her. Sharon reminds him that he recently told her to stop her crap, and Nick admits that he did, but he did so because he was angry that Noah was so upset. He tells her that he is worried about her and wants to understand what is going on - she isn't acting like herself. Sharon asks him to leave it alone, that he should be the last person trying to help her after what happened up at the cabin. Nick tells Sharon that he cannot watch her unravel. She asks him to take care of Noah and to keep Phyllis away from her while she tries to put her life back together. Nick says he will take care of Noah and do his best to keep Phyllis away from her.

Nick leaves, and finds Phyllis outside her door. Phyllis says she didn't want to believe it, but here Nick is coming out of Sharon's room - again. Nick prevents Phyllis from going into Sharon's room and tearing her apart. He guides her away from the room, while Phyllis insists that her not touch her.

Brock welcomes Mac back. Jack says that this news calls for a celebration - Katherine is back! Billy admits he heard Katherine tell the doctor she was a fraud in the hospital, and she explains she had to do that because the doctor didn't believe her and she needed to lie to get out of the hospital. Katherine says the attention of everyone should go back to the bride and the groom, and says she's going to put on cleaner clothes. Nikki takes Murphy for a tour of the Chancellor mansion. Jack wonders if Ashley noticed the way Billy looked when Mac showed up and when they found out they aren't related. Ashley said she noticed and she thinks that all of this is a bad omen - this marriage is a mistake. Jack reminds her that this is the only way Billy can keep Cordelia. Chloe and Colleen talk. Colleen tells her she had a moment of weakness when she stood up for Chloe as her matron of honor. She tells Chloe she should get to know Mac - she has a lot of interesting stories to tell. Billy tells Mac her timing sucks. Mac says Cordelia is beautiful and that she's happy for Billy. Chloe comes over with the baby, and Mac says she needs to go clean up. Chloe says she's sorry about Billy's mom. Billy tells Chloe he can't believe she isn't Katherine's daughter!

Katherine tells both Billy and Cane that they are both still her grandsons in every way that counts, and that nothing is going to change between them. Jill goes over to Mac who is cleaning up the cake mess and tells her that she never approved of her relationship with Billy, but she must be wondering what might have been. Mackenzie tells Jill that she and Billy were a long time ago and that she's gotten over him.

Esther tells Chloe about Mac and Billy's history. This worries Chloe. She fears that if Billy loved Mac once, he'll fall for her again, but Esther tries to reassure her. She tells Chloe that Billy wouldn't be with her if he didn't want to be - whether she had a baby or not.

Billy goes outside to get some air and to think. Jack follows him, and Billy admits he's been thinking about Mac a lot lately and how different his life could have been with her. Jack tells Billy that he and Mackenzie were a long time ago - he doesn't even really know her anymore. Jack also reminds him that he'll risk losing the baby if he leaves Chloe.

Chloe comes downstairs and Cane makes fun of her for not bagging a Chancellor after all. Chloe says she doesn't care if Billy is a Chancellor or an Abbott because he cares about her. Cane scoffs at her. Billy comes over to Chloe and asks her if she's ready to leave, and she responds she thought he'd never ask! They say their good-byes, and leave. On the way out, Cane wishes them a happy honeymoon. Katherine thanks Jack and Ashley for believing her. She says she can't wait to see what the future holds, and Jack says he can't either. Cane and Mac realize they have something in common - neither of them knew they were a part of the family. Katherine approaches Jill and says she noticed she kept everything in Katherine's room the same. Jill admits she'd give anything to have her mother back, but Katherine is not her mother. Jill says she spent six years of effort and time on this ridiculous relationship. Jill says she owns half of the Chancellor mansion and always will, but she won't live under the same roof with Katherine. She says she's moving out. Katherine and Brock try to convince her to stay to no avail. Jill says her good-byes and leaves.

Jack and Ashley go to the Club to celebrate. Jack thinks there are good things in store for Jabot. He wonders if Sharon will show up, and Ashley reminds Jack there are a lot of problems in his marriage. Jack takes responsibility for the problems in the marriage. Ashley tells Jack it may be time to cut his losses and move on with his life, but Jack says he can't do that right now.

When Phyllis returns home, she and Nick begin to argue. Nick says he's sick of Phyllis being obsessed about Sharon. Phyllis admits she's sick of it, too - she hates being paranoid and jealous and feeling this pain in her stomach, but he did this to her! Phyllis tells Nick that his sweet Sharon is a thief, a liar, a manipulator, and a tramp! She says she has proof that she's been with different men, and wants to know if Nick asked her about being with Billy. Nick says he didn't. Nick wants to know why Phyllis cares who Sharon sleeps with as long as she isn't sleeping with him. Phyllis reminds him that Sharon has slept with him and will again in the future. She reminds him that he said he loved her. He reminds Phyllis that he said he loves Phyllis, too. Phyllis insists that Nick needs to see who Sharon is, but Nick tells her he knows who Sharon is - it is Phyllis that he is seeing for the first time. He tells her he isn't sleeping there tonight.

Once they are alone, Chloe asks Billy about Mac. He says he hasn't seen her in years. He asks Chloe if this is really what she wants to talk about on their wedding night. He kisses her.

Jill and Cane talk at the Club. Jill admits to Cane that her relationship with Katherine felt right, and now she knows why - they aren't related. Cane tells her that just because they are related doesn't mean they have to be enemies. Jill tells him that she thinks they were born to be enemies.

Nikki reminds Katherine to call Mitchell Sherman at the Chancellor mansion so that he can work on getting her death certificate revoked and reversing her will. Katherine says some people won't be happy about losing their inheritance, but Nikki tells her that if they care more about their inheritance than Katherine, then they didn't deserve it in the first place! Nikki embraces Katherine.

Brock tells Mac she doesn't look so well. She finally admits she wonders what would have become of her and Billy.

Jack goes to Sharon's room to tell her the news about Katherine's DNA test and the fact that Katherine and Jill are not related. Jack says it is nice when people have an opportunity to start over. He wonders if Sharon will give him just one more chance - even though he's had plenty of second chances. She tells him she'd only hurt him. She reaches into a drawer and hands him divorce papers. She said she finally signed them and wants him to do the same.

Jack signs the divorce papers down at the bar. He sees Jill and asks her if she was kicked out of the house already. He says next she'll be losing Jabot and Chancellor Industries. Jill tells Jack to shove it - she's not in the mood. She leaves.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

2009-03-26T20:16:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

2009-03-24T21:32:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-14T23:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-12T23:30:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-03-12T00:41:00.000-07:00

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.

Heather goes to the Ranch to tell Victor about Adam’s eyes, but Victor slams the door in her face. Later, Heather runs into Nick at the club and asks him what Victor said about Adam losing his sight. Nick tells her Victor didn’t say anything, and that the family has wasted enough energy on Adam’s scams as is.

When Clint returns to the motel room, he sees the interview Gloria gave to the reporter about Kevin’s abuse. He takes advantage of the information. He opens the closet door and tells Kevin it is just he and Kevin now, and that they’ll get along just find if he obeys, “Daddy.”

When Michael, Gloria, Jana, and Daniel see the interview Gloria gave to the reporter, Michael tells Gloria she’s made things worse, as always.

Victor shows up at the prison and silently observes Adam as he listens to the television.

Billy Believes Katherine Is Alive

2009-03-10T23:26:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-10T15:22:00.000-07:00

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.

Esther Delivers A Ransom Note

The Young and the Restless update for Wednesday March 4, 2009:

Katherine tries to convince Clint of who she is. She keeps telling him different memories she has of their past. Each time, he says Marge would know the same thing. Finally, Katherine recalls a memory about Rex Marge wouldn't know, and Clint is convinced she is who she says she is.

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. He finally gets Amber to promise to stop looking for Katherine for her safety. After Daniel leaves to meet with an art dealer, Amber and Kevin leave to check out the motels where the mints are delivered.

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

Phyllis asks Jack for help with Sharon. She tells Jack Sharon is fragile and she asks him to be there for her when she falls apart. Jack wants to know what Phyllis' scheme is, but Phyllis says she's simply concerned about Sharon.

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.

Chloe begins to move into the Abbott mansion. At the same time, Billy shows up at Sharon's room in the club and the two begin to make love.

Esther Discovers Katherine

2009-03-01T15:59:00.000-08:00

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.

Billy Wants to Father Cordelia

2009-02-26T21:47:00.000-08:00

The Young and the Restless update for Thursday February 26, 2009:

Cane and Billy fight about who is Delia's father. Billy gives her a rattle, but Cane tells him that isn't anything compared to what he's done. Billy doesn't believe paying for some medical bills was doing a lot for Delia either. Cane tells Chloe to take the baby upstairs and Esther encourages her to do so. After they've gone, Cane tells Billy if he wants to do something good for Delia, he will walk out the door and stay out of her life for good.

At the prison, Gloria is anxious because her trial starts today and she still hasn't seen Michael.

At the bookstore, Michael and Lauren arrive to find out Eden is being arrested for shoplifting. When Eden is finally able to explain to Michael and Lauren that she took Noah's bag out of the store to give it to Noah and Sharon, they understand that she did not steal the books. While they wait to talk to the manager, Michael realizes he needs to leave for Gloria's trial, and he leaves the bookstore for the courthouse.

Phyllis runs into Noah at the coffeehouse, and he asks her how she and Nick are doing. Phyllis thinks it is sweet for Noah to be concerned about her, and Noah tells her she is a great step mom and he wants her to be happy.

Eden calls Noah, who is with Phyllis, and tells him she is going to be arrested for shoplifting. Phyllis and Noah head over to the bookstore to see if they can help her.

At Jack's, Jack tells Nick he is responsible for Sharon's state of mind, and that he needs to leave her alone like he keeps saying he'll do. Jack tells Nick Phyllis is probably just as much a wreck as Sharon and that she's probably hiding it because she's terrified of losing her marriage.

Sharon talks to her mom about how she is doing. Sharon tells her mom that she has been losing moments of time; she blacks out and doesn't know where she is or what she's doing. Doris reminds her that this has happened to Sharon before, when she had her car accident, but Sharon doesn't wanted to be reminded of that. Later, Doris pushes the issue again, and Sharon admits she feels responsible for Brad's death. Her mom tries to convince her she isn't at fault. She tells Sharon she should talk to a therapist, but Sharon insists she doesn't need to talk to a therapist.

Phyllis and Noah arrive at the bookstore. Noah waits outside with Eden while Phyllis goes in to find Lauren. Phyllis and Lauren try to talk to the bookstore manager, but he says he is going to prosecute Eden. He says he wants to make an example out of her for other kids because he is sick of other kids stealing from him. Phyllis calls Nick for back-up as things between him and Jack escalate.

Nick calls Sharon at the hospital to tell her what is going on with Eden. She finds the elephant figurine in her purse, and tells her mother she has never seen it before. She realizes the last time she had that purse was when she was at Brad's funeral.

The argument between Cane and Billy escalate while Jill tries to calm them down. Cane punches Billy. Chloe is worried about Billy because he is bleeding. He leaves. After he's gone, Cane asks Jill to take Esther and Delia upstairs so he can talk to Chloe alone. Once alone, Cane tells Chloe he will be in her life and he will be stopping by the house to check up on the baby. He tells Chloe that if she tries to keep him from the baby, he will cut her out of the baby's life. Chloe reminds Cane she is Delia's mother, but Cane tells her that Cordelia doesn't need her.

Billy goes to Jack's and tells him about the fight he had with Cane. Billy tells Jack he wants to be Delia's father because he loves her and feels a connection with her. Jack tells Billy whatever he needs, legally or financially, he will give it to him to help Billy get parental rights to his daughter.

In court, Heather is forced to drop the murder charges against Gloria given the evidence Paul found on Emma's death. Michael reminds the judge and Heather that the face cream's chain of command was never established. The judge really lets Gloria have it because he believes she tainted the face cream, but he says since there is no concrete evidence of that, he has no choice, but to vacate the charges against her. The judge tells Gloria she is free to go. Gloria tells Michael how appreciative of him she is. She then tells Michael that she's going to call Jeffrey to come pick her up. Michael is shocked she'd want anything to do with him, but Gloria tells him that Jeff is the right man for her and she hates being alone. Gloria leaves Jeff a message, saying she'll forget all the nonsense about divorcing her and she is now free.

At the bookstore, Sharon is very angry and she lashes out at Eden. She says some very harsh things to Eden, which Noah gets upset about.

Colleen informs Jack she is going to pack her things and move into her father's house because he left it to her. Ashley arrives at Jack's and asks him if he has been filling Colleen in on the Newman bylaws. When Colleen comes back downstairs, she tells Ashley she wants to honor her father, and that a little part of her wants revenge on Victor, but mostly she wants to make her dad proud.

The doctor tells Chloe she can finally go home today. Chloe isn't all that thrilled and tells Esther she would be happy to be going home if she had a home to go to. She finally tells her mother that Cane is not the father of Cordelia. Esther is shocked. Chloe tries to explain that she tried to tell her before, but she didn't want to ruin Esther's wedding. Esther tells Chloe she and Delia will move in with her at the Chancellor mansion and she and Chloe can raise Delia together. Chloe is worried that the baby will pay for her mistakes; she wants her baby to have a father growing up.

At Jabot, Cane tells Jill that he is filing for divorce. He also lets her know that he is filing for full custody of Delia. Jill is shocked.

She says she will do that for him, but doesn't want him to read anything into it. Adam tells her he knows that they are over for good, and he understands that.

At the hospital, Cane tells Chloe he is getting a divorce. Chloe apologizes for what she's done and tries to explain why she did what she did. Cane doesn't care. While Esther is talking on the phone out in the hall, she sees Billy stop by Chloe's room, and realizes he is the baby's father.

Sharon receives a call from the hospital, alerting her that Doris has collapsed. She and Noah run out of the store without the bag of books, and when Eden tries to run after them with the bag, she is caught with the items Sharon stole.
