The Young and the Restless update for Tuesday November 20, 2007:

Neil asks Karen to stop by his office before she leaves for home and she says she will.

Amber wants Kevin to ask Cane what his plans are for Thanksgiving. Kevin does so, and asks whether Cane would be interested in helping with the free Thanksgiving dinner at the coffeehouse. Cane says he's working all day at Jabot since his family will be out of town.

When Amber hears about Cane's plans to work, she orders a Thanksgiving dinner from the GCAC and plans to take a plate of it over to Jabot for Cane.

The warden comes into Phyllis and Jana's cell and tells Phyllis to gather her things. Phyllis is nervous that she is in trouble, but the warden informs her that she has won her appeal and is being let go. Phyllis is overjoyed!

Phyllis calls Daniel to tell him that she's being let go and will be home for Thanksgiving. Daniel, too, is overjoyed.

Michael and Lauren call Nick to tell him the good news. Nick is happy about Phyllis' release, but down about Victoria's condition. He tells Michael and Lauren about her condition and asks them if they will pick Phyllis up for him so he can stay at the hospital with his family. Michael and Lauren happily agree to do so.

Lily is in the break room at Newman with Cane while Karen gets coffee in the background. She asks him what he's doing for Thanksgiving and he says his family will be out of town. She invites him to join her family and he agrees to come over.

Brad and J.T. argue about what is best for Victoria in the hospital hallway. Nick comes over and breaks up the argument. J.T. and Brad storm off.

After Cane leaves the break room, Karen tells Lily that she overheard her telling Devon that she doesn't want Karen at their dinner. Lily tries to apologize, but ends up making things worse.

Cane goes back to the coffeehouse and asks Amber for advice on what to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner because he is going to the Winters'.

Amber gets very depressed that her plan to surprise Cane with Thanksgiving dinner is ruined.

An ecstatic Phyllis hugs Jana good-bye. She promises she'll visit her. As Phyllis walks out the door, Jana realizes that Phyllis forgot her dollhouse and photo frame she made for Summer, but it's too late to catch Phyllis.

Lily talks to Devon about her feelings regarding Karen and their mother's loss. Devon tells Lily that Karen isn't so bad and that she makes their father happy, which is the most important thing, so they should learn to accept Karen.

Lily finds Karen again and apologizes. She tells Karen that she sincerely wants her to come to dinner and that she really wants to get to know her. Neil enters the break room and the two women tell him of the new plans - that Karen and Cane will be joining them for Thanksgiving.

After Lily leaves, Neil asks Karen how Cane got invited and she tells him Lily invited him. Neil is not pleased about this.

Phyllis hugs and kisses Nick in the hospital and says she wants to visit Victoria. She enters the room and talks to Victoria for a little while.

Update for Monday November 19, 2007

At the hospital Nikki and Victor continue to argue about whether or not Victoria should have the c-section. Dr. Webb informs them that they need to make a decision as soon as possible as every second counts. Victor thinks Victoria should have the surgery while Nikki is adamant that Victoria would rather sacrifice her life to save her baby.

Adrian and Colleen head to the hospital to visit Victoria. When they arrive, J.T. tells Colleen that Victoria's blood pressure is still high and that she needs a c-section to save her life. He tells her that it is up to Nikki and Victor whether Victoria will live or die.

Colleen calls Brad at Newman and tells him of Victoria's condition. He heads straight for the hospital after receiving the news.

Nick talks with J.T. about his feelings regarding the decision that must be made about Victoria. He says it is so difficult not knowing what Victoria would want.

Brad confronts Nikki at the hospital and he tells her that he agrees that Victoria would want to save her baby, even if it meant that she died.

Phyllis and Jana talk about Phyllis' appeal and what they think might happen. They also discuss Victoria's condition. A guard enters and tells Phyllis that she will be receiving a visit from the warden as there was contraband found in her cell. When the warden enters, he tells Phyllis that there were two arts and crafts projects found in her cell when the rules specify that she can only have one project in her cell. Jana tries to cover for her by telling the warden one of the projects is hers. The warden knows that Jana is not in the arts and crafts class, however. Jana then tells him that an inmate gave her the photo frame, but he knows she is lying and revokes her visiting privileges.

Nikki and Victor ask Nick for his opinion on his sister. Nick declines to make a decision regarding his sister's life and her baby.

Dr. Webb says that he will have to bring in a mediator to help the Newmans reach a decision regarding their daughter as the surgery is a time sensitive matter.
