Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of December 14, 2009
Monday
Amber sat with an injured Daniel in the hospital. They were interrupted when Deacon called to say how "sorry" he was about Daniel's "accident." Sharpe added that he hoped Daniel wouldn't have any more accidents in prison. Amber became upset as she realized that Deacon was behind Daniel getting injured. After, Daniel wanted to give her an early Christmas present and pretended to hand her a box, which Amber mimed opening. "What is it?" she asked, staring at the pretend gift. He replied that it was a new cell phone. Amber called the invisible gift, "sweet" and declared that she loved it.
Nick joined Phyllis at the land fill, where she was digging through the garbage to look for the shooter's gym bag. She was touched when Michael and Lauren arrived (dressed from head to toe in hazmat suits!), joined by Kevin, Jana, Kay, Eden, Abby, Murphy and Jack. She was overwhelmed that they all came out there to help her. Heather arrived and called them crazy. Michael explained that he'd asked Heather to be a witness so she wouldn't accuse them of tampering with the evidence. Heather didn't think they'd find the bag. Phyllis told her to shut up and pitch in.
At Crimson Lights, Daisy hung out with Ryder. Abby called and filled her in on what they were doing. After, Ryder instructed Daisy to get to the dump. Lauren was pleased when Daisy arrived to help with the search. Soon, Eden found the bag and Daisy looked stricken. Heather looked through the bag and found a ski mask. She and Michael agreed to get it tested. Phyllis called Amber and Daniel with the good news about the bag. They were thrilled to have some hope.
At Jabot, Tucker greeted Jill with a drink he'd made just for her. She wondered if it was a coincidence that he slept with her the night before he was planning to make a huge deal with Katherine. He admitted that he knew who Jill was and didn't believe that she hadn't recognized him. She explained that she didn't recognize him without his beard. They agreed to keep their romance separate from their business.
The triumphant dump crowd went to the coffeehouse, where Michael filled in Ryder on what they'd found. Ryder hoped it would prove that he had no connection to the shooter.... Kay told Nick and Jack that she's asked Tucker to be involved with the Chancellor deal instead of them. They were both disappointed, but understood why she wanted a big shot like McCall involved.... Phyllis stayed behind at the dump and continued to search for the shooter's cell phone — and found it! She turned it on and there were three saved messages on it.... Kevin, Eden, Abby and Daisy sat down at the coffeehouse. Eden didn't understand why Daisy was at the dump and accused her of having an ulterior motive. Daisy insisted that she just wanted to help out Lauren. Eden took Lauren aside and warned her not to trust Daisy. Lauren encouraged her to give the girl a chance, then then asked Ryder why she saw someone who looked like Ryder at her boutique — just as she found a rat there. Ryder coldly responded that he doesn't care about her enough to terrorize her.
Phyllis met up with Nick at the coffeehouse. Meanwhile, Amber called Phyllis and told her that Deacon pretty much admitted that he was responsible for Daniel's "accident" and threatened to get him hurt again.
Nick admitted to Jack that he's as bothered about Tucker as he is. Jack didn't like the thought of having to answer to McCall. Kay paid Tucker a visit and informed him that they have a deal. Tucker said that he had a really good feeling about them going into business together. Later, after Kay was gone, Jack paid McCall a visit.
Jana, Kevin, Michael and Lauren visited Daniel at the hospital. Jana handed Daniel a box — which turned out to be a real cell phone for Amber, just like the one Daniel had described. She became emotional. Daniel was then led back to jail with a guard and Amber broke down. Jana and Kevin assured her that everything would be fine. Michael wondered where Phyllis was.... Phyllis found Deacon at the G.C.A.C. and played a message from the phone she found on which he said, "It's all set; the alley behind Jimmy's in one hour." Deacon didn't act fazed, saying it proved nothing. Phyllis told him that she wouldn't give the phone to the Feds if Deacon took Amber and got her out of town, away from Daniel. Nick arrived at the club and was surprised to see Phyllis chatting with Deacon. She lied that she was just telling Deacon off.
At the coffeehouse, Noah and Eden filled in Abby and Daisy how he and Eden hooked up while they were on a class trip in Paris visiting the places where Eden's mother had been. Daisy asked about Eden's mom and Eden explained that she's dead.
Kay invited Murphy and Jill to join her and Neil in a celebration over their deal with Tucker. Jill replied that she had other plans..... Jack welcomed Tucker to Genoa City. Tucker told Jack that he's been following Abbott's career and thinks that Jack and Ashley are both talented. He regretted never getting the chance to meet John. The men agreed to meet for a drink.
Daniel was placed in a jail cell with Billy, who'd been arrested for leaking Victoria's testimony.
Tuesday
Sharon and Adam dined at the G.C.A.C. Jack listened in on their conversation as the pair held hands and discussed their relationship. "Is that what this is — a relationship?" Adam wondered. Sharon noted that they didn't have to hide it anymore. Michael ran into them and was surprised to see Adam not busy at work, climbing the corporate ladder. Adam replied that he'd been overeager the last time, but wasn't this time. After, Adam and Sharon talked about Nick punching Adam. She thought her ex was just stressed over having to fill Victor's shoes at the company.
Michael met up with Lauren at the club. She revealed that the rat that was in her store was from a pet shop, meaning that someone put it there. Both believed that Ryder was responsible. Meanwhile, at Crimson Lights, Kevin told Jana that he planned to inform Deacon of their findings at the dump. Jana thought it was a bad idea.
At the prison, Daniel informed Phyllis and Amber that Billy is his new cellmate. Phyllis implored him not to talk to Abbott for fear that Billy would put it in Restless Style. After Amber said good-bye to Daniel, Phyllis thought back to when she asked Deacon to get Amber out of town in exchange for not showing the authorities Deacon's incriminating voicemail.... Rafe met with Billy in his cell and warned Billy that he could be in there for a long time. He urged Billy to reveal his source, to no avail. After, Daniel returned to his cell and they argued over Billy leaking Victoria's testimony in Restless Style. Daniel stated that Victoria has guts, unlike Billy, then taunted Billy about not having any family or friends stop by. They then argued over Victor, with Daniel imploring Billy to get over his hatred for the Newmans... Amber and Phyllis went to the coffeehouse, where Amber suggested that they plan a surprise party for Daniel when he eventually gets out of prison. Amber thanked her mother-in-law for being there for her during this time. Right after, Phyllis called Deacon and asked if their deal is still on. He said that it was.... Amber told Jana and Kevin that Daniel was having a bail hearing the next day. She whispered to Jana about wanting to throw a surprise party for him.... Michael found Ryder at the coffeehouse and handed him a restraining order to stay away from Lauren. Ryder was furious and denied planting the rat, then stormed out. Kevin noted that abuse victims like Ryder often strike back at people. He still wanted to help his brother out, to Jana's chagrin.
Jack paid Nick a visit at Newman and asked Nick what they were going to do about Sharon and Adam. Nick agreed that Adam wasn't a good person, but refused to get involved in Sharon's business once again. Jack complained that Adam got off easily for forging Victor's diary. "What about you?" Nick challenged, then suggested that Jack just back away until Adam lost interest. Jack didn't think this would happen. Nick still didn't want to help Jack with his "Adam intervention" for Sharon. Adam interrupted, with a file for Nick. Nick didn't even attempt to hide his disgust over seeing him. Meanwhile, Jack offered Sharon a job with Jabot. She was interested, but he explained that she'd be traveling a lot. She noted that Nick sent Adam out of town and concluded that Nick and Jack were scheming together to keep her and Adam apart. She then kicked him out of her home.... Adam approached Phyllis at Newman and noted how sensitive Nick is about Sharon dating other men. Phyllis was not pleased. Later, Phyllis said that she had an appointment to go to, then stopped by Sharon's and confronted Sharon about dating Adam. Sharon stated that she's moving on and it's none of Phyllis's business. Phyllis accused Sharon of dating Adam to make Nick jealous, but Sharon denied it. She also kicked out Phyllis.
At the jail, one of the prisoners started in with Daniel, but Billy stood up for him. Daniel thanked his cellmate for the help. Later, Jack visited Daniel at prison and Daniel told him that Billy needs his older brother.... Phyllis texted Deacon a message saying that Amber and the tell-tale phone were his after Daniel's bail hearing.... Lauren and Michael visited Daniel in jail and informed him that his bail hearing was the next day. Daniel asked Michael to do something to help out Billy.
Sharon went through Christmas ornaments. Adam surprised Sharon with a visit and she filled him in on her conversations with Jack and Phyllis. Adam started to go upstairs, but listened in as Sharon called Nick and ordered him to keep Phyllis away from her. Phyllis returned to work and Nick asked who her appointment was with. She lied that she'd been at a business meeting.
Wednesday
Mac visited Billy in jail and revealed that she's pregnant. Not surprisingly, he was less than thrilled with the news but managed, "Tell Lily I hope everything works out for her." Mac observed that his sentiment didn't include her and she left.
Chloe admitted to Chance that she could get Billy out of jail by telling the judge the identity of the juror who leaked Victoria's testimony. Chloe also revealed that Billy doesn't know she overheard his conversation with the juror. She asked Chance what she should do but he said this was her decision to make. Chloe went to the jailhouse and asked Billy why he was protecting the juror. He claimed journalistic integrity but she suggested he just wanted to stick it to the Newmans. Chloe returned to Chance, still struggling with what she should do for Billy. She then put a call into the judge on Billy's case. "I have information on the juror that Billy Abbott is trying to protect," she announced.
The news that Katherine was selling 25 percent of the Chancellor IPO spread throughout the business community. Victoria was especially peeved because J.T. didn't mention anything like this to her about his boss. "Do you know how many times he has condemned me for putting my loyalties to Dad and the company before our marriage?" Victoria griped to Nick, who he advised her to stay calm.
At the G.C.A.C., Jack invited Emily to spend Christmas with him and she said that would be "lovely." Em was bummed about Patty's progress and how she wasn't showing any remorse for her actions. The doc wondered if it was time that her patient was treated by someone else. Emily left to meet with Patty and Jack later told Ashley that he is still working on getting control of Jabot, despite not getting the Chancellor stock. Ashley noted that with the end of her marriage, raising two daughters and the loss of Colleen, her focus isn't on business. Ash then tried to jolly her brother by pointing out that Emily could be a new beginning for him.
At Crimson Lights, Mac got a more enthusiastic reaction from J.T. when she shared her pregnancy news. He confessed that he and Victoria were still having problems. Victoria showed up and announced that she was going to Dubai to work for Newman and taking Reed with her. Before J.T. could really respond, he had to answer his cell phone when Tucker called; Victoria stormed away.
At the mental hospital, Patty learned more about her crimes from a newspaper she had stashed under her mattress. Emily arrived and gently informed Patty that she might have better luck with another therapist but Patty got upset. When Em explained that Patty still doesn't know why she's being held, she admitted it was for kidnapping "that girl." Emily was shocked that Patty was starting to realize the error of her ways. Em rushed back to Jack and told him about the "breakthrough" and also declared she couldn't walk away from Patty now.
Thursday
At the jail, Billy and Daniel were both anxious to get out. Daniel noted that all Billy had to do was give up his source, but Billy was determined to stick to his principals. Meanwhile, Chloe feared that Billy would be angry if he found out that she gave up the juror's name to the judge. Chance assured her that it would stay secret and was proud of her for doing what's right.
Lauren and Michael finally celebrated their anniversary at the G.C.A.C. They toasted to many more years of wedded bliss as someone watched and filmed them from across the room. The Baldwins went on about how fast Fen has grown and then reminisced about their wedding day. Their conversation became serious as Lauren recalled being threatened by Sheila. Michael reminded her that Sheila is dead.
Jack and Emily went to Crimson Lights, where he told her how glad he is to have her in his life. Phyllis ran into them and was less than friendly toward Em. Phyllis told Jack that they're planning to throw a celebration for Daniel when he gets out of prison. She joined Amber, who was enthusiastically planning the party with Jana and Kevin, and thought back to her deal with Deacon, where she asked him to get Amber out of town. Phyllis then met with Deacon outside of the coffeehouse, and he told her that it's all set and they should meet by the alley behind Jimmy's bar. Phyllis explained that he'd get the phone once Amber was out of town. Phyllis went to pick up Daniel, and was surprised when he thanked Billy before leaving the jail.
Jack happily sang his dad's favorite Christmas carol. Emily explained that when she was a kid she loved Christmas, but now it's depressing because many of her patients struggle during the season. Jack felt badly for her. Later, Jack surprised Emily by taking her to a beautiful holiday tableau, complete with a skating pond, outside of the coffeehouse. He demanded that she turn off her cell phone, then promised to give her back the spirit of Christmas. He helped her skate around the pond; she surprised him by showing off how well she can actually skate. Emily revealed that her first kiss was on the ice with a boy named Jason when she was 11. Jack shared that his first kiss was when he was 5 with an older "woman" named Janelle, who was 6. So cute! He then kissed Emily.
Chloe and Chance came to the coffeehouse for the party. Amber was surprised that Billy was choosing to remain locked up. Chloe admitted that Cordelia misses her father and started to share how she'd helped Billy out, but Chance stopped her.... Victoria paid Billy a visit in prison and gloated over him being there. He wasn't fazed and asked her to leave. "The Newmans are off limits," she warned. Billy shot back that he's going to write about whoever he wants to. She threatened to "knock his teeth out," then taunted him about not being able to see his daughter. After she left, the guard informed Billy that he was free to go. Billy was surprised, but happily left his cell.
Daniel and Phyllis returned for his party. Phyllis thanked everyone for helping her find the gym bag at the dump and getting her son freed. Daisy asked why they hadn't dropped the charges if the bag had been found. Jana and Amber were confident that the charges would be dropped soon. Chance was impressed with Phyllis for doing so much for Daniel and called her a great mother. Amber hugged Phyllis and called her "amazing." Phyllis then raised a toast to Amber, declaring her "the best daughter-in-law." Daniel wondered where Ryder was; Kevin replied that he told him not to come.... Phyllis promised Daniel that she'd always be there for him and Amber.... Billy called Chloe and asked her to meet him at the Restless Style office. She feigned surprise when she found him out of jail. Billy planned to write a story about "sticking it to the man and winning." Victoria arrived at the office and was upset to see him freed. She again warned him not to come after her or her family.
Deacon and Ryder met up at the club. He informed Ryder that he's returning to California. Ryder warned that his mom wouldn't like it. Deacon urged Ryder to stand up to her. Michael then spied Ryder there and reminded him that he has a restraining order to keep Ryder away from Lauren. Lauren then demanded to know what Ryder was discussing with Deacon. Chance soon arrived and told Ryder to leave or be taken away in handcuffs. Ryder went to the coffeehouse asking if he can make things right with Daniel, but he received a frosty greeting from the partiers. Amber was furious that he ruined the party. Phyllis said that she has a gift for Amber and Daniel and asked her daughter-in-law to get it from her car. Amber obliged.... Michael encouraged Lauren to forget about Ryder and Deacon and gave her his anniversary gift. The waiter arrived with champagne from someone who wished to remain anonymous. Lauren was a little unsettled. The mystery person watched them leave.... Kevin asked Ryder to leave. Ryder complained to Daisy about how he's sick of being the bad guy and warned Daisy that "she" is in Genoa City.
Amber went to get Phyllis's "gift." There, Deacon grabbed her and stuffed her into his car.
Friday
After they went ice skating, Jack took Emily back to his place and presented her with a Christmas tree. She noticed that there were no ornaments on it and he explained that they were going to decorate it. Jack began by stringing up the lights. He then went through the ornaments and showed Emily one he'd made in the fourth grade. Em was impressed that the Abbotts had saved all of their ornaments over the years. She liked one that looked like a crystal; he shared that it was the ornament that John had given Traci the year Colleen was born. He became emotional as he thought about the holidays he'd spent with his family. Later, they finished the tree and Jack asked Emily about her family. She replied that her parents were dead and she'd thought that by now she'd have her own family. "It's not too late," Jack told her.
Nick and Victoria met at the G.C.A.C. She lamented to her brother about her problems with J.T. Nick asked if she really wanted to go to Dubai. Victoria replied that she needs to work and is hoping that he'll go with her. Just then, J.T. and Reed Joined them. Nick bristled when Sharon and Adam arrived. "Oh, look, our fan club's here," Sharon snarked. Adam asked if she wanted to go home, but she wanted to stay at the club. She and Adam sat down to order, but then Nick came over to them. Sharon made small talk by saying how glad she was that Daniel made bail. Adam noted how horrible it had been in jail when he did time. Nick snapped that Adam had been imprisoned because he was actually guilty. Adam tried to change the subject by bringing up Newman's Dubai deal, but Nick replied that he and Victoria had it covered. Next, Sharon and Nick discussed getting Noah a snowmobile for Christmas, but when Adam tried to join in on the conversation, Nick told him to butt out. After, Adam promised Sharon that he'd be more sensitive to Nick's feelings, but she was pleased that they'd managed to speak to each other without it turning into a fight. Adam told Sharon that she makes him want to be a better man. They kissed.
At Crimson Lights, Daniel thanked Michael, Phyllis and his friends for helping him get bail. He wondered where Amber was; Deacon was busy dragging her into his car. Amber struggled to get free.... Eden became suspicious when Daisy said that a rat being in Lauren's store wasn't a big deal. Lauren and Noah defended Daisy, but Eden didn't trust her "nice" routine.... Daniel looked for Amber outside, but couldn't find her. He called her cell, but no one answered. Meanwhile, Deacon took Amber to a barn and told her that they're going to start a new life together with his son. She became emotional as she thought about the little boy whom she'd once raised as her child. "He still thinks of you as his mother," Deacon said quietly. Daniel then found them and told Deacon to get away from her. Deacon revealed that Phyllis blackmailed him into getting Amber out of town.
At Restless Style, Chloe thought about how she'd given up the name of Billy's source behind his back in order to get him out of jail. Meanwhile, Billy wrote an editorial about his prison stay. Just then, the juror who'd been his source, arrived and reamed him out for giving her name to the judge. Billy denied saying anything and reminded her that he went to jail to protect her. Chloe became more and more uncomfortable as she watched the exchange. Billy went to call Rafe to straighten things out. He was furious that someone blabbed to the judge — and then realized that it was Chloe. Chloe argued that she got him out so he could experience Delia's first Christmas. Billy responded by firing her.
J.T. And Victoria waited on line at the club so that their son could sit on Santa's lap. J.T. suggested that afterward, they get Reed a sitter and spend some time alone. When the three of them reached Santa, he insisted that they all pose in the shot. Later, Victoria brought up going to Dubai, which displeased J.T. She asked if he and Reed could join her. "I have responsibilities here," he said. "What about your responsibilities to us?" she said. He accused her of not taking him seriously. She replied that she never meant to make him feel that way. He then told her that she can go to Dubai if she wants, but not with their son.
Nick went to the coffeehouse looking for Phyllis and Daniel. Kevin gave him Phyllis's phone, which she'd left behind. Paul called her phone and Nick answered it. He wondered what was going on.... Amber couldn't believe that Phyllis had blackmailed Deacon, but Daniel didn't seem to be fazed. Deacon realized that she and Daniel were also in on the setup. The cops and Phyllis soon arrived on the scene and Deacon was arrested. Paul and Nick joined them and Daniel thanked Paul for assisting them. Phyllis suggested that they celebrate, but Daniel and Amber just wanted to go home. Phyllis was thrilled that she'd saved her son, but Nick was angry that she'd kept her plot against Deacon a secret from him. Phyllis retorted that he's a hypocrite because he never told her that he knew about Adam and Sharon, and how it's driving him crazy. "This thing with Sharon, it goes on and on," she stated, "and it's because you can't stand the thought of Adam and your ex-wife together."
Lauren and Michael went home, looking forward to an intimate evening, but were interrupted when Eden kept banging on the door, explaining that she left her keys. Michael let her in and revealed that he ran a background check on Daisy and she has no criminal record. Eden wasn't convinced that Daisy's clean. After she left, Lauren and Michael went to their bedroom. Daisy quietly entered their home and looked at the report on herself.
