Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of Nov. 5, 2007
Monday
Kay and Cane were relieved to learn from an official with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology that the Clear Springs parking
structure did not collapse due to construction flaws. "Can you tell us how
this happened?" queried Kay. The official said they would have to wait
for the final report to come out.
Save for a few homes, Neil and David found out that most of the new
buildings at Clear Springs may not be salvageable. Since seismic activity
was ruled out, David wondered if sabotage caused the explosion. Neil
noted that no evidence of bombing was found.
Victor vowed to Jack that he will "destroy" whoever is responsible for the
Clear Springs disaster. The men then watched a news bulletin on TV,
where a reporter announced, "The collapse of the garage and casino that
killed one construction official and injured several people, was found to be
caused by natural gas drillings several miles outside the town of Clear
Springs." The reporter revealed that the owner of the drilling team was
Victor, who was shocked by the findings. Jack blasted Newman for causing the
catastrophe, however Vic argued, "My company followed all safety and
regulatory recommendations. It was an accident."
Nick and Sharon worried about Noah's mental state. Sharon explained that
their son didn't want to rent movies, eat or talk to friends. Nick declared
that Noah will "be fine" but Sharon said she would contact a therapist. Neil
called Nick with news that his father's drilling team caused the explosion.
Neil also explained that Victor used a subsidiary company for the drilling
project, so Newman Enterprises was actually not involved.
Katherine and Cane were stunned to find out that Victor was responsible for
the explosion. "Our friends and my crew are in the hospital because he
wanted to make his wife pay," seethed Cane.
At the hospital, David gave Nikki an update on the explosion. Nikki became
very upset that Victor's drive to ruin her spa project had led to such
tragedy. Nikki confronted Victor and charged, "If your company put Victoria
in that hospital bed, I will never, ever forgive you. I pray to God for your
sake that you had nothing to do with it." Victor was infuriated by the
comment and Nikki stormed off. Kay later arrived and comforted an emotional
Nikki, while Victor sat at Victoria's beside. "I'd give anything to see you
open your eyes," he whispered.
Jack told Sharon that Victor "ought to fry." ... J.T. continued to talk to
a comatose Victoria.... Noah only wanted to play the same video game over
and over.... Nick assured his father that he knew Victor didn't deliberately
cause the explosion.... Kay told Cane that Chancellor Industries will sue
Victor.... Victor refused to release a statement. Alone in his office, a
tormented Vic slumped in his chair.
Tuesday
While J.T. sat at Victoria's bedside, Colleen came by for a visit. Brad
later showed up and whispered to Victoria, "I hope that baby has your
smile." J.T. seemed bothered by Brad's presence and pointed out that the
hospital didn't want Victoria to have too many visitors. Colleen got the
hint and tried to get her dad to leave with her for some coffee but Brad
declined. Colleen reluctantly left the two men alone. Brad brought some of
Victoria's favorite rock CDs but J.T. said he's been playing jazz music. "I
know you mean well," J.T. replied. "I need to be alone with Victoria right
now." Brad claimed he understood and left.
Neil informed Victor that his miners followed "every safety regulation and
then some" when drilling but an electrical spark ignited "a huge pocket of
displaced methane." Later, Victor called Neil and Karen into his office and
announced he wanted to make a public statement. "I will only say this once,"
Victor insisted. "I'm not going to answer any questions." Karen gathered a
few reporters and Victor started with, "The explosion at Clear Springs has
affected this state, this community and me personally deeply." He went on
to explain that a thorough investigation would be made and that his heart
went out to those affected. The reporters tired to ask questions but Victor
cut them off and walked away.
Sharon urged Jack not to have a public confrontation with Victor. "I'm not
making any promises," Jack grumbled. He later approached Heather and Maggie
to reveal his suspicions that Victor killed Ji Min. When Maggie reminded
that they needed evidence, Jack suggested they test the hair of Victor's dog
to see if it matches the strands found on Ji Min's body. "No judge would
issue the warrant," declared Heather, which miffed Jack. He then stealthily
obtained a sample of Zapato's hair (during a testy encounter with Victor).
Jack presented the fur to Maggie, who said it was inadmissible because it
was collected by a civilian. Jack pushed the lady cop to test it anyway but
she threw it in the garbage.
Neil told Lily what caused the Clear Springs collapse and she was relieved
that Cane wasn't responsible. Neil seemed bothered by her concern and Lily
assured, "We're just friends." Lily later ran into the Aussie hunk at
Crimson Lights and said she was happy that Chancellor Industries wasn't to
blame for the disaster. Before Lily departed, she kissed Cane on his cheek
and he seemed visibly touched by the gesture.
Colleen hoped Brad would be the father of Victoria's baby.... Noah told
Sharon that he had a nightmare but didn't want to talk about it.... Brad
blasted Victor for causing the Clear Springs explosion and injuring
Victoria.... Everyone was buzzing about Enrique Iglesias's appearance at
Indigo for that night; Lily wanted to invite Cane but Heather beat her to
it.... Victor lamented to Victoria that he felt "an enormous sense of guilt
and remorse" for his actions.
Wednesday
Neil assured Karen that when they attend the Enrique Igelsias concert at his
club, Lily and Devon would behave better towards her.
Paul was concerned when Maggie's abdomen area was sore (where she was shot
by Sheila). Maggie opined that it's probably from all the crawling around
she did inside the collapsed parking structure. Paul wanted to take her to
the ER, but Maggie refused to miss the concert.
Lauren wanted to stay home instead of going to the concert but Michael
thought it would be better for her to get out. "I just don't wanna see you
lock yourself away," he fretted. It took some more cajoling and Lauren
finally gave in.
Lily and Colleen showed up at Indigo and Lily was depressed to see Cane and
Heather. Devon arrived with Roxanne. When Lily confirmed she was going to
run for student government, Karen offered to help her campaign.
Amber and Daniel had trouble luring Kevin away to the concert. Kev said he
had a business to run (Crimson Lights), besides his mind was on Jana anyway.
Amber and Daniel finally convinced him to come. The pals showed up at Indigo
and Daniel was enthralled with Heather. He reminded himself, however, that he hates
her (for putting his mom in prison). Kevin confronted Heather and pointed
out that Jana should be freed because she was sick and didn't know what she
was doing. Ms. Stevens suggested that Kevin hire a good lawyer to prove his
case.
Neil was upset to see Daniel at the club and wanted to throw him out. Lily assured her dad that it was okay. "Daniel doesn't bother me anymore,"
she declared. Lily then pretended she needed to talk to Roxanne about
studies. When the ladies were alone, she asked if Roxanne genuinely liked
Devon. "I've dated a lot of losers, and I could actually see myself staying
with him for more than a week," answered Rox. Cane later stopped by to say
hi to Lily and she tried to maintain a calm exterior. Neil observed that his
daughter was upset and asked if it was over Cane. Lily once again insisted
that she and the Aussie are just friends but Neil didn't buy it. He also
advised that Cane "is way, way too old for you."
Paul and Maggie were glad to see Michael and Lauren at Indigo. While Lauren
was on her cell to Gloria, Paul mentioned to Michael that Victor's drilling
caused the explosion. Baldwin became upset but was determined to keep the
news from his wife, at least for tonight. Michael angrily confronted Neil
who said, "This isn't the place."
Paul confirmed his lunch with Heather for the next day and Maggie asked if
he was going to confess that he's her father. "I think it's time she finally
knew the truth," Paul affirmed. Meanwhile, Cane asked Heather how she knows
Paul, and she explained that he is an old friend of her mother's. While
trying to make a cell phone call, Heather eavesdropped on Paul, Lauren and
Michael discussing Sheila. "What's a little kidnapping for the better good,
right?" Paul said to his co-conspirators. "If I had to do it all over again,
I would make sure that Sheila Carter never escaped." Heather returned to
Cane in utter shock but didn't reveal what she overheard.
Everyone cuddled and/or exchanged looks as Enrique Iglesias performed.
Thursday
After the Enrique Iglesias concert, Neil told Karen that his employee who
usually closes up the club went home sick so he would have to stay late.
Karen offered to keep him company. Lily asked her dad if he wanted to get
something to eat after closing but immediately changed her mind when he
mentioned that Karen was helping him too. Rude, Lily, rude.
Heather tried to enjoy the rest of the evening with Cane but was distracted
by what she previously heard (Paul, Lauren and Michael talking about
imprisoning Sheila). Cane observed her moodiness and Heather asked
hypothetically what she should do if a very good friend committed a bad
crime. Cane surmised that as assistant district attorney, she had a
responsibility to do the right thing. Cane then drove his date home. Heather asked if he wanted to come up for coffee. Cane declined, citing
crazy hours with the Clear Springs cleanup and they shared a quick smooch
(uh, Heather, pick up a copy of He's Just Not That Into You... pronto).
Lauren and Michael asked Paul and Maggie back to their place for coffee (if
this had been during the Swinging '70s, that invitation would have been
suspicious). The quartet headed to the Baldwin home, where Lauren again
started exhibiting nervousness. "I'm a total mess these days," she lamented
"I'm freezing all the time ... I can't sleep." Co-Clear Springs survivor
Maggie agreed that she was experiencing the same things and Paul insisted
that they would all eventually "be normal" again. Everyone discussed
sleep-inducing tips like counting sheep, watching infomercials, chamomile
tea, hot baths, warm milk and watching Noah play video games (okay, that
last one wasn't in there). Suddenly, Lauren had another panic attack.
Michael gave his wife her anti-anxiety meds and she calmed down. Paul and
Maggie revealed that an explosion caused the collapse and Lauren became
upset to learn that Victor's drilling company was the cause. Michael vowed
Newman would pay (take a number, Mike).
Victor continued to be haunted by his role in the Clear Springs disaster....
Beautiful, smart, classy, rich, girl-with-a-thousand-friends Lily was
feeling lonely and sought companionship and comfort from Colleen and
Adrian.... Neil and Karen made love (guess it was a good thing that his
daughter didn't stick around after all).... Heather called her secretary
and said, "When you get in tomorrow morning, pull all the files we have on
Sheila Carter." Let's hope she was leaving a voicemail and not calling the
poor girl at that late of an hour.... Cane called Lily with an answer to a music question that was bugging
her earlier (and, lookie there, her spirits suddenly picked up)....
J.T. and Nikki maintained their vigil at Victoria's bedside. They became
alarmed when one of her monitors started beeping. "The machines registered
an elevated blood pressure reading," explained a nurse, who determined that
there was a malfunction and deemed the patient's stats as normal. Colleen
and Adrian showed up for a visit and after a few minutes, J.T. walked them
out. As Nikki sat with Victoria, Victor arrived to see how their daughter
was doing. J.T. noticed that Victoria's hands were swollen and called for a
doctor. Dr. Ryan confirmed that her blood pressure was up and ordered
immediate tests. Once the physician left, Victor declared, "I am going to
call every specialist in the world if it takes that to get Victoria better."

Friday
At prison, Jana again surmised that Jack convinced his dad to disinherit
Gloria. "That was never proven," Phyllis pointed out. She then left for her work-release; Jana made an appointment with the chaplain who was counseling John.
During her time with Rev. Anderson, Jana learned that John had a confidante
in prison by the name of Todd. Jana passed the name to Kevin, who tipped off
Gloria.
Nick showed up at the hospital to find out from his parents and J.T. that
there was concern about Victoria's spiking blood pressure. Dr. Ryan said he
wanted to make sure "there's no swelling or bleeding" causing the elevation.
Victor remembered a line from a poem ("Stars that shine in heaven so bright
keep my children safe tonight) that he used to recite while tucking his
kids in. J.T. noted that he heard Victoria say that poem every night. Nick
wondered if Brad should be notified about Victoria's precarious situation
but Nikki wanted to wait for test results to come back. Another doctor told
the Newman family and J.T. that Victoria's tests came back normal so there
was more investigating to do.
A nervous Paul confirmed with Maggie that he planned to tell Heather that
she's his daughter — today (yeah, Paul, you're only 20-something years
overdue). Maggie jokingly suggested that he send a singing telegram to do
the job (hey, is Enrique Iglesias still in town?).
Under the guise of tying up loose ends with William's files, Heather showed
up at Lauren's place and questioned Mrs. Baldwin about shooting Sheila. "You
were a hero," Heather declared and started asking about the cage Sheila had
built in the warehouse. Before Heather could get very far, Michael came in
and stopped the questioning. "That is not a topic my wife is comfortable
talking about," he growled and escorted Heather to the door. Michael was
suspicious of Heather's motives, then told Lauren that he was working on
Phyllis's appeal. Next, nosy Heather asked Maggie about Sheila and the lady
copy recalled how she was shot by the psycho (with flashbacks playing, of
course).
At Newman Enterprises, Phyllis advised Jack not to "kick Victor when he's
down." Jack said he won't, but added that Victor deserves whatever fate
befalls him (Karma, meet Jack). Phyllis asked Jack if he had anything to do
with Gloria getting getting cut out of John's will. "My father wrote that
will," Jack insisted, "I guess he finally saw things my way." Heather
arrived to continued her quest with Phyllis, who recounted her own
horrifying ordeal (more flashbacks). After Heather left, Jack told Phyllis
that a man named Todd called for her, but Phyllis said she didn't need the
message after all. Phyllis was surprised when Lauren showed up at Newman
Enterprises. Turned out she was volunteering with the Clear Springs relief
effort. Michael later arrived and told Phyllis that "your appeal is going to
be reconsidered by the appellate court." Color Phyllis thrilled.
Kevin told Gloria that someone else had contacted good ol' Todd.
"Apparently, he's pretty popular lately," Kev noted.
Paul met with Heather and explained how he got a girl pregnant when he was
young and "we both decided that the best thing for the child would be if she
was raised without me." It was hard to tell if Heather was catching on or
not, but Paul finally announced, "Heather... you're my daughter." Close-up on
Heather's stunned expression.
