Young and Restless Recaps

Y&R Week of May 25, 2009

Monday

Billy found out that Mac and Raul had been a couple in Darfur. Jack reassured Billy that the Mac/Raul relationship was to be expected after all they had been in Darfur together. He congratulated his younger brother for having stepped up to the plate in terms of being a husband and father to Delia. Chloe was thrilled at the news of Mac and Raul. Billy asked Mac and Raul about their relationship NOW. Billy gave Raul is blessing to propose to Mac, which Raul promptly did.

Neil complimented Tyra, who was nervous about showing up at Katherine's house as his new girlfriend. Devon bluntly asked Tyra why she never told him they weren't really related. Tyra said she would do anything not to lose custody of Ava. Devon stormed out. Tyra brought Neil up to date on the problems with Devon. Neil, however, wasn't upset but did say he wished he and Tyra had gotten together under different circumstances.

Nick was stunned to realize Sharon was pregnant, as was Phyllis who was eavesdropping. Nick told his ex-wife they'd deal with this together. Phyllis placed an emergency call to Jack. Jack showed up only to have Phyllis drop the bomb that Billy could also be the dad of Sharon's baby. The two argued, naturally, and Jack walked off.

A detective dropped off a pile of letters and emails telling Kevin that many people wanted him behind bars. Amber encouraged Kevin to move on. Daniel admitted to Jana that his drinking many years ago — the time of Cassie’s accident — had affected many people's lives in the long run. Daniel didn't feel comfortable splashing around in Katherine's pool on the anniversary of Cassie's death.

Nina wondered if Amber should include the tidbit about the baby switch in the biopic on Katherine's life. Katherine assured Nina she was fine about it. Sharon showed up at Katherine's, who was delighted to see her. Sharon was looking for Jack. Billy thanked Sharon for having covered in front of Jack. Sharon told Daniel it was time he forgave himself for Cassie's death.

Sharon apologized to Noah for having Eden take the fall for some of her shoplifting. Noah forgave his mother and promised to help her with the new baby.

A furious Jack called Billy a "son of a bitch" on Billy's cell phone.

Tuesday

Victor stopped by Adam's room in the Newman Ranch and asked his son how his
Braille studies were coming. Adam replied that his tutor said he was a
natural. Victor then confided in him that he's concerned about Ashley's
state of mind. Adam agreed that she wasn't in good shape. Victor asked if
Adam could alert him if she had any episodes and if he could get her to see
a psychiatrist. Adam agreed to try. After Victor left, Adam took out his spy
equipment. Victor went downstairs and found a pregnant Ashley working; he
took her files away from her, but she pleaded with him not to treat her like
an invalid. Upstairs, Adam listened in on the conversation. Ashley later
thought she heard something in her room; Adam hid under her bed as she
looked around. When she left, Adam got up to leave and Ash caught him in her
room. He lied that he was just checking in on her; she appreciated his
concern. He mentioned Victor's request to try to convince her to get
professional help. They agreed that Victor means well and she promised not
to let Victor know what Adam told her. Later, as Ashley took a nap, Olivia
came by and discussed Ashley with Victor. He admitted that Ashley seemed to
be struggling, but feared that things could backfire if they pushed her into
seeking professional help. They were determined to give Ash their support.
Ashley then cried out when she had a nightmare. Victor ran to her room to
comfort her.

Cane made some calls to surprise Lily on their honeymoon. Lily told him that
she had some surprises, as well. She pulled off her robe to reveal a blue
bikini and shared Surprise No. 1. She stated that she was saving the best
surprise for last, then presented him with tickets to Australia. He didn't
think it was a good time for them to extend their trip and confessed that he
didn't want to go there. Lily wondered why he didn't want to visit the place
where he grew up. In an Aussie bar, the man who looked like Phillip III was
addressed as "Langley."

Nina and Katherine visited Phillip III's grave and remembered the man they'd
lost. Nina read a letter she'd received from him before he'd died.
Jill arrived just in time to overhear Nina say it was hard thinking of Cane
as the real Phillip. Kay welcomed Jill, despite their recent animosity. Jill
recalled Kay taking Phillip in and making her look bad, and wondered if
she'd been a bad mother for sending Phillip off to boarding school. Nina
flashed back to when she told Phillip that she was pregnant and he didn't
believe it was his child. Kay recalled arguing with Phillip over him being
an alcoholic; Jill wished Kay had told her he'd been drinking so they
could've prevented him from getting into his fatal accident. Later, Nina
questioned Jill about how Kay had used a psychic to remember the baby switch
and wondered where they'd gotten the proof. Jill became angry at Nina's
queries.

At the Chancellor Estate, Mackenzie admired the engagement ring that Raul
had given to her. Meanwhile, Billy thought about Mac and Raul, and ignored a
frustrated Chloe. Suddenly, he bolted from the pool house.... Raul stopped
by the Chancellor Estate, and Mac accepted his marriage proposal. Later,
they shared their good news with a surprised Kay. Mac insisted that she's
over Billy and loves Raul.

At the Abbot mansion, Jack told Sharon that he was okay with her mourning
Cassie without him. Billy then arrived and Jack asked him point-blank if
Billy had slept with Sharon. Billy stuttered a response. "You slept with
Sharon," Jack seethed. "We didn't mean anything," Billy stammered. Jack
wasn't placated by this. Jack was certain that they'd been together more
than once. "When Dad died, I was the only person watching your back," Jack
growled. "I covered your gambling debts.... I made sure you didn't lose your
daughter. There are millions of women out there. You chose to sleep with the
one I'm in love with." He went on, calling Billy selfish and irresponsible.
Billy tried to apologize, but Jack reminded him that he had a responsibility
to Chloe and Cordelia. "It's time to grow up!" Jack stated. Billy was
surprised when Jack revealed that Nick could also be the father of Sharon's
baby. "I can't even look at you," Jack said. Billy urged Jack to hit him. "I
don't think I can ever forgive you for this," Jack simply whispered. Just
then, Chloe walked in with Delia and wondered what was going on. Jack told
her to ask Billy. Sharon also heard the commotion and wondered what was
happening. "Billy messed up," Jack replied, leaving the ladies very
confused. Delia began crying and Jack insisted that Billy take care of his
family.

After Billy stepped away, Jack asked if Sharon had something to discuss.
Sharon revealed that she'd informed Noah about her pregnancy, and he was
supportive. Jack concluded that Noah believed the baby was theirs, which
Sharon confirmed. She sensed Jack was upset about something and wondered
if he'd changed his mind about helping her raise the baby. Jack assured her
that he loves her and that nothing has changed ‹ and that he wants to be the
father of her child, even if it's not his biological kid.

Billy became angry when Chloe asked him what was going on. He sadly revealed
that Raul wants to marry Mac. Chloe declared herself "nuts" for thinking she
and Billy had a future when he was so clearly stuck on Mac. After, he went
to see Mac; she and Raul told him about the engagement. Billy tried not to
cry as he wished them the best. Billy returned to the pool house and saw
that Chloe had moved out. He sadly held one of Delia's left-behind
shirts.... Kay, Raul and Mac celebrated the engagement. Chloe arrived at the
Chancellor Estate with Delia and announced that she split from Billy and is
moving back into the house.

Wednesday

At the Newman Ranch, Adam listened in with his spy equipment as Olivia and
Victor tended to a frightened Ashley. Victor wondered if her nightmare had
been about Sabrina, but Ash replied that she didn't remember it. Liv noted
that pregnant women often have vivid dreams.

Gloria and Jeffrey finally made it back to Genoa City from the Cayman
Islands after enduring several days of boats and trains and buses. Jeff
noted that with their financial situation, they're now in "crisis mode." She
refused to sell her diamonds; he urged her to hit Michael and Kevin up for
money, but she didn't like that idea.

At the Abbott mansion, Jack regarded a family portrait. He was interrupted
when Jill stopped by and thanked him for giving her enough money to get home
from the Cayman Islands. She stated that they're both victims of Katherine's
"corporate greed" and asked Jack to join her in a business partnership. Jack
turned down her offer and declared her the last person he wanted to do
business with. Jill urged him to think about it and warned Jack that he was
making a mistake. After she left, John's ghost paid Jack a visit and urged
him to not waste time on resentments. "I must be a real disappointment to
you," Jack sighed. "Both my sons are disappointments," John replied, and
reminded Jack how he and Jill had slept together much in the same way Billy
and Sharon had. John reminded Jack that Billy is his brother.

At the Abbott pool house, Billy called Chloe, but got her voicemail. He left
a message asking her and Cordelia to return home. Meanwhile, Raul and
Mackenzie discussed Chloe and Billy's marital problems. Chloe joined them,
but turned down their offer to talk to Billy for her. Esther arrived and
Chloe filled her in on her decision to leave Billy. Raul stated to Mac that
he couldn't picture Billy with a wife and child. He invited Mac to return to
Washington, D.C. with him, but she didn't think she could go. Raul revealed
that he'd received a promotion at his job, but didn't want to be separated
from her again.... Jill stopped by the pool house and asked Billy if he
could speak with Jack for her. Billy admitted that they're not on good
terms. He then revealed that Chloe left and took Delia with her. Jill
wondered if he really wanted Chloe back, and if he really loved her. Billy
explained that he didn't want to hurt her, but didn't want to lose his
daughter. Jill assured him that his child would always be in his life,
regardless of whether he and Chloe stayed married.

Chloe confided in Esther about how Billy cares more about Mac than her, and
how she's tried everything to make the marriage work. "I left before I lost
the last shred of dignity I've got," Chloe sighed. As Esther played with
Delia, Chloe spoke with Mac. "I didn't know my dad; he was practically a
sperm donor," Chloe shared, "and I was sent off to boarding school like a
second class citizen." Chloe didn't think Mac's life was difficult like
hers. Mac replied that she didn't even grow up in Genoa City and didn't know
who her father was when she was younger. Chloe acknowledged that Billy is a
great father. Mac insisted that she doesn't love Billy in a romantic way
anymore.... Ghost John visited Billy and stated that his son has a lot of
growing up to do. Billy considered returning to Hong Kong, but didn't want
to leave his daughter. John asked what he was planning to do about Chloe,
but Billy wasn't sure. Later, Mac stopped by the pool house and insisted
that Billy make things right with Chloe, for his daughter's sake. Billy
believed that Mac didn't really love Raul the way she'd loved him. She
insisted that she loves Raul and would marry him even if Billy were
available. Jill warned Chloe that Billy is very confused.

Jill ran into Gloria and Jeff at Crimson Lights. They made a pact to not
tell anyone about their monetary problems. After, Gloria and Jeff planned to
talk Phyllis into renting them her penthouse. Jack arrived at Restless Style
in time to see Phyllis hand them the keys. Jack asked Phyllis if they could
discuss Sharon's baby.

Ghost John paid Ashley a visit. Adam became puzzled as he watched Ashley
tell someone unseen how scared she is.... Liv told Victor that there was
nothing physically wrong with Ashley, but Victor feared that she was having
a breakdown. Olivia wondered if Ashley was doing these things to herself.
She suggested that Victor consult a psychiatrist so he could get some ways
to help Ashley and look for signs of a nervous breakdown.... Upstairs, Adam
continued to watch Ashley on his monitor as she spoke with Ghost John about
how much she wants the child. She expressed her fears that if she lost the
baby, it would destroy Victor. She also admitted that she'd lied when she
said she couldn't remember the dream, and revealed to John that in it, a
veiled Sabrina tried to kill her. Ashley broke down crying, which made Adam
smile. Later, Adam asked Liv what he could do to help Ashley. Ashley then
came downstairs crying that she thought she was losing her baby. Victor
comforted her while Olivia called an ambulance.

Thursday

At the Newman Ranch, Ashley was doubled over in pain and screaming that she didn't want to lose the baby. Victor swept her into his arms and whisked her off into the waiting ambulance. As soon as they were out the door, Adam dashed up the stairs. In his room, he called Rafe and asked to be picked up and for some disposable phones. He thumbed through a scrapbook he intended to use to scare Ashley. He took off his ankle monitoring device, and slipped out the back window.

Once Ashley reached the hospital, Olivia checked her for a fetal heartbeat. She announced that she had heard a strong and steady heartbeat, but ordered an ultrasound to be on the safe side. After studying the ultrasound, Olivia declared that both Ashley and the baby were fine, but that she needed to stay at the hospital overnight to rest. Victor phoned Victoria and explained about Ashley. He asked her to go to the ranch, to be there when Abby came home. Victor thanked Olivia for taking good care of Ashley.

Abby entered the ranch and wanted to know what was happening. Victoria filled her in about Ashley, but said not to worry. Abby insisted on calling Victor anyhow. Victor told her everything was fine, but that Ashley would have to stay in the hospital overnight. J.T. said he would stay at the ranch overnight with Abby. After Abby went to her room to do homework, Victoria decided to go up and check on Adam. She knocked on his door, but he didn't answer.

At the hospital, Adam slipped into Ashley's room and silently planted the scrapbook in her purse. The door closing behind him awakened Ashley, who noticed a book sticking out of her purse. She opened it to find pictures and memorabilia about Sabrina. She was terrified and was breathing erratically when Victor entered. He took the scrapbook and was startled when he saw its contents.

Meanwhile, Lily and Cane had met Neil, Tyra and Devon at Indigo to share their photos and stories about their honeymoon. Everyone was happy for them, but Devon was obviously upset. Once Lily and Cane had him alone, he admitted that Neil and Tyra's relationship bothered him. Lily didn't understand why, since they were both single. Devon admitted that he was angered by how fast they were going, and that Tyra had lied to him all his life about being a blood relative. He then showed them the letter written by his mother to his father. He announced that he wanted to begin searching for his father. Lily pointed out that he would have to track down Yolanda to do that. Devon remained determined, despite Lily advising him that Neil was the best father he could ever ask for.
Neil and Tyra discussed how Ana would be affected by their relationship. Tyra said that Ana had already admitted she wanted them to be a couple. They agreed to be honest with Ana, and tell her they were dating, but that they didn't know what the future held.
After Lily and Cane left Indigo, Devon approached Neil and offered him an apology for his behavior. Neil said that he was partly to blame for not being forthcoming about his recent choices. Devon hugged him and told him that he was still the best man he knew.

At Restless Style, Phyllis and Jack discussed their situation. "Sharon's pregnant, but I'm the one who feels like throwing up!" Phyllis exclaimed. Phyllis asked Jack why no one ever calls Sharon out on her behavior. "If I had done this, I would be stoned to death in the town square!" she cried. Jack pointed out that the two of them were far from perfect, and advised her not to act hastily. Phyllis told him that they should be "very scared" because Nick and Sharon were keeping secrets from them. She wondered why she insisted on trying to compete with the emotional pull that Nick and Sharon obviously had with each other. Jack said that the answer was simple: that she loved Nick.

Phyllis proclaimed that she DID love Nick — more than she had ever loved any other man. She was quickly embarrassed when she realized that her statement included her former husband, Jack. Jack took it in stride, though, and held her while she cried on his shoulder. She was upset with herself for being one of those "wimpy women" that she despised, but Jack comforted her and told her that he was there for her. She told him she knew he wanted to be a father badly. "So badly, I can taste it," Jack admitted. Phyllis said she hoped the baby was his — for both of their sakes.

Nick arrived at the Abbott mansion to see Sharon. He announced that he was going to tell Phyllis the pregnancy secret. Sharon begged him not to, saying that it would wreck his marriage for no reason if Jack was the father. But Nick insisted that he should have no secrets from Phyllis. He then informed Sharon that if the baby WAS his, he would not allow another man to "play daddy.’ Sharon assured him he would have a place in the baby's life if it was his, but that she could not be involved with him. Nick explained that he cared very deeply for Sharon. They almost kissed, but stopped themselves. Nick left to find Phyllis.

Nick arrived at Restless Style to talk to Phyllis. He told her that because they had promised to be honest with each other, he needed to tell her that Sharon was pregnant and that the baby could be his. Phyllis pretended to be surprised, and was genuinely upset and very angry. Nick apologized for hurting her. "What are you gonna do now, Nick?" Phyllis spat.

Jack went home and found Sharon sitting alone in the dark. She confessed that she had told Nick about the pregnancy and that Nick wanted to raise the baby if it was his. Jack said that it was okay — that he already knew she had told Nick, and that Nick was a good man for wanting to take responsibility. Sharon then shared that there was a third man who could be the father. Jack told her that he already knew about Billy too. Tearfully, he told her that he wished she had been the one to tell him about Billy.
"Why don't you hate me, then?" Sharon cried. Jack told her that he had made too many of his own mistakes to judge hers. He begged her to just accept a life with him, and tried to convince her that it could be beautiful.

Friday

Victoria pounded on Adam's door in the Newman Ranch, imploring him to open
up, but the door was locked. She asked J.T. to help her get in. Adam then
turned up downstairs, explaining he'd been in the wine cellar. Victoria
wondered why he locked his bedroom door; Adam curtly replied that he feared
that someone would try to sneak in ‹ as they had. At the hospital, Victor was
horrified when a scrapbook of Sabrina was found in Ashley's purse. Ashley
asked if Estella had been at the Newman Ranch, but Victor insisted that she
hadn't. Ashley became hysterical as she stated that someone is trying to
hurt her. Her heartbeat soon got out of control. Victor got Olivia to check
in on her. Ashley begged to go home.

Sharon didn't understand how Jack could forgive her for sleeping with Billy.
Jack was determined for them to get past it. "The love is still there ...
that's what matters," he said, again stating that the baby belongs to them,
regardless of who the father is. Sharon thought there was something wrong
with Jack for caring about her. "You are loved," he stated. "I love you. I
am in love with you." Sharon broke down in his arms and admitted that she's
waiting for the other shoe to drop, namely Phyllis. She planned to get a
paternity test as soon as possible. Sharon wanted to move back into the
GCAC, but Jack wanted her to stay with him at the Abbott manse.

Meanwhile, Nick told Phyllis that Sharon's pregnant and the baby could be
his. Phyllis could barely look at him. "What will you do now, Nick?" she
asked. Nick replied that if the baby's his, he's going to be a father to the
child. Phyllis was understandably upset and believed that the baby wasn't
Jack's. "No one said they were destined to be together," she noted. She
revealed that she overheard everything Nick said to Sharon at the gravesite.
He wondered why she hadn't said anything. She explained that she was waiting
for Nick to come to her for help in making the decision. "But I think you
already had made your decision months ago when you slept with Sharon without
a condom," Phyllis snapped. Nick was indignant and insisted that he hadn't
planned for Sharon to get pregnant, possibly with his child. He also stated
that he's happy with her and Summer, but Phyllis didn't buy it. "I can't
imagine what it's like for you to have someone so tied up in every moment of
your adult life, to be bound together," she sighed. "What's in it for me,
Nick? What am I left with?" "Tell me what you need from me," Nick said. "I
want you!" Phyllis cried. "ALL of you. I want you to be in this all the way.
I don't think you can do that," she lamented. "If this is your baby, it's
ours. I can accept that. What I can't accept is Sharon as a third party in
this marriage anymore. I'm over that. I am over that. No more, 'You know,
Phyllis, uh, before we make plans, let me check with Sharon,' or, 'I'm gonna
be home late because Sharon needs me.' Sharon! I'm done with it. If that
keeps on going on, we will never, ever survive."

Victor brought Ashley home from the hospital and put her to bed. Victoria
and J.T. informed Victor about their run-in with Adam. After, Victor showed
Liv the scrapbook. She wondered if Ashley put it in the bag herself, but
Victor didn't think so. Later, Olivia urged her friend to see a shrink, but
Ashley became angry. Upstairs, Adam watched them through his monitor. He
quickly closed his computer when Victor knocked on his door. Victor asked if
Estella had used Adam's computer, noting that he'd found disturbing
information on it. He then noticed the bottle of wine on Adam's desk. Adam
invited him to join him for a drink, but Victor turned him down.... Victoria
was convinced that Adam was hiding something ‹ and the evidence was in his
room.... Adam poured himself some wine and toasted to a "productive
evening." Downstairs, Liv and Victor agreed that Ashley needs help. Victor
showed her an e-mail print-out of a receipt for the scrapbook charged to
Ashley's credit card.

Nick regarded a photo of himself and Phyllis and thought back to happier
memories with his wife.... Jack asked if Sharon was hoping that Nick would
leave Phyllis for the baby. Sharon confirmed that she has feelings for Nick,
but insisted that they were in the past. "If Nick's the father, you're
prepared to raise the baby separately?" Jack asked. Sharon reminded him that
they did with Noah. Jack smiled at the mention of Noah and noted that they'd
have a "built-in babysitter." "I now realize, no mega-merger, no boardroom
deal is gonna fill me half as much as a baby's head on my shoulders, pudgy
little arms around my neck," said Jack. "It took me a long time to get here,
but I am here." Sharon declared Jack her best friend. She wanted to be the
one to tell Nick that she was staying with Jack. Later, Nick flashbacked to
various memories of his life with Sharon. Phyllis paid Jack a visit and
informed him that Nick told her about the pregnancy. She revealed that she
gave Nick an ultimatum. "I cannot believe that this is my life," said
Phyllis. Jack assured her that Nick won't leave her, and that Sharon is
staying with him. "You can stop worrying now," Jack told Phyllis. Meanwhile,
Sharon stopped by Restless Style, where she and Nick kissed. "I'm leaving
Phyllis. I want to be with you," Nick announced.
