Young and Restless Recaps

Y&R Week of March 1, 2010

Monday

Patty visited Emily at the hospital and held a pillow over Em's face, but as she went to smother her, Emily screamed. Paul rushed in and "Emily" lied that "Patty" wanted to kill her. "Patty," Emily muttered. "That's right, you're Patty," Paul told a desperate Emily. She began to cry as she attempted to explain who she really was, but when she said that she's Dr. Peterson, Paul thought that "Patty" was delusional. Of course, "Emily" confirmed this, then left before the real Emily could say anything more. After, Emily again tried to explain to Paul that Patty was the one who'd put her in the hospital and stolen her identity. All Paul cared about was that his "sister" is alive. Emily begged him to get Jack for her, but he refused. The doctor arrived to examine her and she kept insisting that she's not Patty.

Jack spent some quality time with Kyle. Jack reminisced about how Kyle would play on the swings, but Kyle didn't remember. Kyle recalled several other things they used to do together, like play catch, but Jack realized that Diane had told their son these stories. Jack and Kyle agreed to make some new memories together.... At the Abbott manse, Phyllis was surprised to see Diane there. Diane explained that she was just letting Kyle see his dad. Phyllis accused Diane of using the visit to ruin Jack's new marriage. Diane denied it, but Phyllis called her rival a "homewrecker." Diane then scoffed that at least she was able to give Jack a child, which infuriated Phyllis.... Meanwhile, Jack offered to change his schedule so he could see his son more. Kyle acknowledged that Jack and Diane don't always get along, but Jack promised to work on that, too.... Patty returned to the manse and eavesdropped as Phyllis and Diane continued to hurl insults. Patty recalled Diane taking Jack from her years before and believed that she was there to take him again. Jack and Kyle interrupted her thoughts and she told them that the ladies were in there together. Jack quickly went inside to break up their inevitable argument. Phyllis was cordial to Kyle, but he didn't remember her. She then said that she was there to speak with Jack, but realized that he needed the time alone with his son. On her way out, Phyllis warned "Emily" that she was insane to invite Diane into her life. Later, "Emily" told Jack that Patty is awake, but delusional.

At Crimson Lights, Kevin continued to look online for leads about Jana. Gloria tried to keep his spirits up. She then filmed him asking people for help in finding his wife. Kevin tried not to break down as he made his plea.... Daisy and Ryder visited Jana's cage. Jana was confident that she'd be found, but Daisy wasn't so sure. Daisy stated that Kevin will eventually stop looking for her and tricked Jana into saying, "Stop looking for me." She showed Jana a tape recorder, explaining that with some editing, she could get Kevin to believe anything out of context. Jana stated that Kevin would see through it, but Daisy wasn't fazed and instructed Ryder to feed their "pet".... Kevin feared that someone had hurt Jana, but Gloria urged him to think positive thoughts. Later, he got a call from a source saying that her credit card was used in Chicago.... Daisy (dressed as Jana) returned to a hotel room with several shopping bags. She called Ryder to tell him that their plan was working. Jana asked Ryder if he really likes his sister and begged him to help her escape. Ryder bolted, leaving Jana alone. Jana tried to get Kevin to "feel" her presence so he could save her.... Kevin got a call from Jana saying, "Stop looking for me" and believed that she'd been forced to say it. Kevin tracked Jana's credit card to the hotel where he believed she was and pounded on the door, asking for her. Daisy, still in disguise, lurked in the room.... Ryder gave Jana painkillers for her headache.

Nick went to see Sharon at her suite in the club and showed her the diary of Adam's ex-girlfriend, Skye, which proved that Adam knew that Skye had been molested by Dr. Taylor. Sharon couldn't believe that Phyllis went to the trouble of finding it, but Nick urged Sharon to read it. Sharon accused him and Phyllis of making the whole thing up. When Nick warned her that Adam is dangerous, Sharon asked Nick to leave. He refused and begged her to look at the diary. He began reading from it, citing a passage where Adam had told Skye that he wanted to blackmail Taylor, then implored Sharon to read the rest. Sharon looked at it and became emotional as she realized that Nick was telling the truth and that Adam had been lying to her. Nick thought maybe this was Adam's way of getting back at Victor by hurting Ashley and then Sharon. Sharon recalled Taylor being completely professional with her. Nick stated that it was still wrong of Adam to put Ashley in Dr. Taylor's care when he knew what Taylor had done. Nick asked where Adam was, but she really didn't know. He concluded that Adam realized that they were closing in on him. Sharon was sure that Adam would return to her and was prepared to deal with her husband. She promised to call Nick if she needed his help. Nick informed Phyllis that Sharon finally looked at the diary.... Sharon left Adam a message, asking him to come home.

Paul assured "Patty" that she's going to make a full recovery. She continued to ask him for help, but he wasn't really listening to her mutterings about the real Patty giving her a sedative. Paul was devastated to see his sister like this.... "Emily" watched uncomfortably as Jack had hot chocolate with Diane and Kyle. She was relieved when it was time for their guests to head back to Chicago. Jack credited Diane for raising Kyle so well. She and Jack shared a warm embrace. After they left, Jack thanked "Emily" for bringing his son to town and stated that she knows him better than anyone else. Patty couldn't get the image of him with other women, like Emily and Phyllis, out of her head. When Jack stepped away, she lamented to Emily's portrait that Emily, Phyllis and Diane all want Jack. She became unhinged as she stated that Jack is hers, but managed to calm herself down by thinking of happy memories with Paul. "I will be happy again," Patty assured herself, then went to join Jack in the bedroom.

Tuesday

Tucker stopped by the Chancellor Estate to see Kay and handed her some articles about his business relationship with the Yugoslavian official. He told her that she can do what she wants with them. Tucker then asked about his father. Kay replied that Arthur was a good man, but she hasn't told him about Tucker because they're not in touch — and that Jill was convinced that Arthur had murdered his wife. Tucker asked why she let Arthur walk out of her life. Kay admitted that deep down she knew that they could never be happy, and that was probably why she hadn't told him that she was pregnant all those years ago. "He was so different," she explained. Tucker concluded that he and Arthur didn't have much in common. Kay agreed that he has more in common with her. Jill interrupted and scoffed at their bonding session. Tucker replied that he just wanted answers about Arthur. Kay asked if she knew where he was, but Jill said she didn't. Jill concluded that Kay was blackmailing Tucker into a truce, but Tucker and Kay denied it. Jill asked why Kay was protecting him, and was willing to forgive Tucker, but not her. Kay ignored her and invited Tucker to take a walk around the grounds. Tucker admitted that Kay has defied his expectations of her.

Billy visited Cane in Immigration and asked what he had on Tucker. Cane replied that he can't help him. Billy wouldn't give in and was certain that Kay had something on him, and Cane knew what it was. Billy told him to "man up," which infuriated Cane. Billy wasn't fazed and accused Cane of not really loving Kay and Jill enough to help them. Cane wouldn't take the bait and break Kay's trust. He believed that Billy just wanted to sell magazines and didn't really care about Kay's honor. Billy retorted that Cane was the one who didn't care about Jill. Cane relented and suggested that Billy do the same research that Kay did, and gave him a hint about the painting in the background of the photos. Billy called Jill with the information. Later, they went to the club to go through the files. Jill wondered if Cane was sending them on a wild goose chase, but Billy actually believed that Cane gave them accurate information. They then found the photos with the painting. Like Kay, Jill concluded that Tucker gave the official the painting to guarantee the musical group's success.

At Femore's, Chloe told Amber that she hadn't heard from Chance about Jana. Amber feared that something had happened to her friend. Lauren interrupted and asked if Amber had followed up on a shipment. She became very moody when Amber replied that she hadn't gotten to it yet. Lauren complained to Chloe that she was having another headache, then snapped at Amber again — and suddenly fired her. Lauren began to cry because she was in so much pain. Chloe offered to take her to a doctor and Lauren sobbed about how she has no one. The girls wanted to call Michael, but Lauren didn't want him to see her like this. Amber called a doctor and ordered pills for her. Later, Lauren apologized to Amber and gave her back her job.

A caged Jana pleaded with Ryder to bring her a blanket.... Kevin and Chance entered the hotel room where Jana supposedly was. They found the room a mess, but a couple of Jana's things were there. Chance found a man's blazer in the closet. Kevin believed that the blazer had been planted there and that someone wanted to make sure that Jana isn't found. Kevin began to freak out as he concluded that it was a conspiracy. Chance calmly suggested he look around to find more clues about her whereabouts, but nothing jumped out at him. Chance went to the shops where Jana's credit card had been spent, then returned and informed Kevin that the clerks recognized Jana. He didn't think that she was returning, but Kevin wanted to stick around and find her.... Chance called Chloe and told her that he thinks that Jana left Kevin for another man.... Kevin still believed that someone had staged the room so he'd find the blazer, but Chance disagreed. After Chance left, Kevin left a voicemail for Jana saying that he's never going to give up finding her. Later, Kevin met up with Chance, Chloe and Amber at the coffeehouse to discuss Jana. Amber insisted that Jana would never cheat on Kevin.... Chance told Chloe that Rigg's death was determined a suicide, but he didn't believe it.

Jana tried to bond with Ryder by telling him how her father was a criminal and had made her do some awful things. She believed that Kevin would forgive Ryder just as he forgave her. She was sympathetic about all that Ryder had probably gone through with having Tom as a father. Ryder snapped and stated that Tom had never really abused him and then Kevin deserved everything he got. Jana's eyes filled with tears as Ryder went on about how he was Tom's favorite. Daisy returned and played Kevin's voicemail for her. "Now what do we do?" Ryder wondered. "He will never lose faith," Jana stated. Her captors threatened to lock Kevin away in someplace small and dark. Daisy then asked Jana to write a letter for them. Later, Daisy returned to Fenmore's and gave Lauren a glass of drug-laced water.... Jana lashed out at Ryder for making her write the letter. Kevin received a letter from Jana saying that their marriage is over, but didn't believe that she really wrote it.

Wednesday

Sharon willed herself to remain calm in her hotel room as panic began to overtake her. After re-reading Skye's diary entries, Sharon picked up a framed wedding photo of her and Adam and announced that she would not let him take advantage of her. After falling asleep, she had a vivid dream in which Skye appeared and told her they would play a game of poker. The stakes? The baby. Sharon was terror-stricken as the sound of a baby crying filled the room. A cold and unsympathetic Skye morphed into Phyllis, who took jabs at Sharon. When she asked about the baby, Phyllis got into her face. "No baby for you!" she shrieked.

In her next dream, Sharon found herself in Lauren's boutique. Jack appeared confused to find Sharon holding baby clothes. "What are you doing, Sharon? There's no baby!" Jack reminded her. Sharon was startled when she looked down at her stomach and found no bump. "We both ended up with nothing, accept it!" Jack's words stabbed Sharon in the heart.

In another dream, Sharon found herself in her wedding clothes looking for Adam. Instead, Nick and Phyllis appeared, and Phyllis warned her to stop using her dead children to get her hooks into Nick. Sharon demanded that everyone leave her alone - that she was not fragile and did not need help from Nick or anyone.

That dream transitioned into a new one, in which a pregnant Sharon was alone with Nick. Sharon cradled her stomach. "The baby kicked! She's ALIVE!" Sharon proclaimed to an overjoyed Nick, who assured Sharon that they all belonged together. He produced their family picture that Cassie had drawn. "Look at it closely," he instructed. "There's Faith!" Sharon whispered. "Cassie drew Faith!" The star-crossed lovers began kissing passionately, and Nick stated that they would soon all be a family together. Adam burst in and was pained to find his wife with Nick. "I'm sorry, Adam, it's over between us. I'm with Nick now," Sharon announced. Adam protested, and Sharon went into "labor.” Adam called a doctor and claimed that Sharon was about to have "their" baby. Sharon began crying for Nick. "I don't want you - I want Nick!" she screamed at Adam.

At the hospital in "labor,” Sharon was relieved to find Nick at her bedside in scrubs. "This is our baby's debut, Sharon! Are you ready to push?" Nick asked in a comforting tone. Sharon "delivered" the baby and suddenly Adam appeared. When Sharon inquired about the baby, Adam claimed she had died due to birth defects. "It's not true — I heard her cry!" a hysterical Sharon shouted. Adam hugged her as she dissolved into sobs. Her dream morphed into a happier one, in which she was holding her newborn baby with Nick at her side. "I'll never let you go!" Nick assured her. "I've missed you so much!" Sharon responded.

Waking up in her bed at the Club, Sharon looked around and realized she was alone. She clutched a pillow and sobbed for Faith. Just then, Adam burst into the room. "I'm back," he announced.

Meanwhile, at home, Ashley placed a call to the lab to inquire about the test results on the piece of purple cloth. She was pleased to learn that she would have answers soon, and that she would finally have the proof she needed to bring Adam down. She fell asleep and had nightmares about a purple dress-clad Adam pretending to be her friend. Still dreaming, Ashley screamed out for her baby, saying that she would die if she ever lost Faith. Also in her dream, she confronted Adam about bringing Doctor Taylor into her life, which Adam denied. He accused her of being delusional.

In another dream, Ashley panicked when she couldn't find Faith. Victor appeared and pointed out that she was holding the baby in her arms. Victor accused her of being too distant in her girls' lives, and using them to hang on to her sanity. After she burst into tears, Victor demanded that she be re-institutionalized. Ashley ran away and found Jack. Rushing into his arms, she begged her brother not to let anyone lock her up again. Jack was in Ashley's next nightmare as well, trying to convince her that her baby had died. Looking down into her arms, Ashley found herself holding an empty baby blanket. In a flash, Ashley was transported to a mental hospital, where she wore a straightjacket and explained to a doctor how she had lost her grip on reality after her first baby, Robert, had died. She talked about her spiral back into insanity when she had been pregnant with Faith. When she looked up at her doctor, it was Adam! She began screaming and thrashing around in her straightjacket.

Suddenly back home in a new dream, Ashley rushed up the stairs, trying to locate a crying Faith. A figure in a purple dress appeared on the stairs, terrifying her. The figure pushed her down the stairs, and Ashley tumbled all the way down, landing in a snow bank. Victor appeared as Ashley called desperately for Faith. Adam and Jack both appeared soon afterwards, and all three men offered to help Ashley regain her sanity. Ashley pushed passed them, claiming she would find "proof" that she was sane. Suddenly in her bed again, Ashley answered a ringing phone. "You found blood?" she asked. "No DNA, but there was blood?" Ashley hung up, smiling to herself.

Thursday

Ashley told Neil that lab tests confirmed there was indeed blood on the purple cloth. "I wasn't crazy," she declared, then decided to share her findings with Heather. Upon doing that, the assistant D.A. pointed out there wasn't enough evidence to formally investigate Adam. Heather left and Ashley grew frustrated that Adam would get away with his lies, but still smooched Neil for his support.

Adam apologized for worrying Sharon and explained he had been at his mother's grave in Kansas to gain "perspective." Sharon wasted no time in presenting proof that Adam had prior knowledge of Dr. Taylor's abuse: Skye's diary. "You are a pathological liar," Sharon charged. Adam didn't dispute the accusation and said he had changed for the better because of her but Sharon declared the man she loved doesn't exist anymore. "We're done," she proclaimed and walked out. Skye's spirit appeared and taunted Adam, warning that everyone will soon learned what he had really done.

Nick and Phyllis squealed to Victor about the damaging entries about Adam in Skye's diary. Vic's anger grew as he realized the scope of Adam's deceit. Sharon showed up and Phyllis left with Summer to visit Reed. Sharon informed Nick and Victor that her marriage is over. Victor left and Sharon told Nick that her life is "upside down" now. Phyllis returned and Sharon apologized for coming down on her over Adam.

Tucker offered to give back enough shares of Chancellor Industries to Kay so that they would be equals. Kay said she would buy them back and they agreed. "I'm actually starting to think I could like you," Tucker smiled, to which Kay responded she was thinking the same thing.

Jill wanted to help Katherine regain Chancellor Industries by exposing Tucker's payola scheme in Restless Style. "Tucker's not gonna know what hit him," Billy relished. Jill wanted to warn Kay about the pending article but Billy advised his mom not to because La Chancellor may protect Tucker out of guilt. Still, Jill thought it was the best approach and headed to the Chancellor estate. There, she filled in Kay, who ordered Jill not to go through with it. Jill maintained she was doing it for Kay's own good. "Don't take away my son," Kay pleaded, so Jill agreed to hold the story. Kay was grateful and affirmed that Jill will always be her daughter.

Chance surmised to Chloe that Riggs didn't kill himself and that someone on the police force is crooked. Chloe reported to Restless Style and after hearing Billy's exposé on Tucker, cautioned he would ruin Kay's chances of establishing a relationship with her son. Billy called Jill, who told him to kill the story.

Chance shared his dirty-cop suspicions with Sid. "Let me handle this and don't tell anybody," Sid ordered. Chance later met up with Chloe and they were almost hit by a car. Chance remembered part of the license plate number. "Someone is sending me a message to back off," Chance opined.

Kay asked for a hug from Tucker and got one. Jill witnessed the close moment between them and told Billy to run the story on Tucker.... Nick and Phyllis reveled in the possibility of a future without Adam in it.... Sharon showed up on Ashley's doorstep. "I have something for you to read," Sharon announced....
Adam opened his door to find his dad. "I heard you were back," Vic growled.

Friday

Lily assured her husband that he is not a criminal and his legal troubles will be resolved with Michael's help. Cane was grateful for her support. Lily insisted that she'd go to Australia with him if things don't work out. He met with the judge and returned with the news that they demand he leave the country.

Patty became frustrated while studying Emily's psychiatry books and was startled when Jack came home with roses in the middle of the day. Once Jack was gone, she resumed her studies and became increasingly frustrated, slamming the laptop shut.

A groggy Emily insisted to Paul that she can't go to the state mental
hospital and tried once again to tell him that she is Emily Peterson. Paul
humored her but clearly didn't believe it. She went through her credentials and even pricked herself to produce a DNA sample so they could have it tested against his.

At Fenmore's, Daisy made a call about getting some more "Liquid X," then feigned concern when Michael arrived and expressed his frustration over not being able to locate Jana. Clearly under the effects of Daisy's drugging, Lauren made a scene as she rushed in and started groping Michael. A customer looked at her strangely as she caressed her husband and was put off when Lauren gave her a hug, too. He asked if she'd been taking her new headache medication and she claimed the pills had done wonders. Lauren even wanted to
have sex in her office, but he urged her to tend to the customers. He phoned her doctor to inquire about the pills and wasn't quite satisfied with what he learned, then had to respond to a call about Cane's immigration status. Daisy emerged from hiding and assured Michael that she'd keep an eye on his wife.

Ashley, Sharon and Jack theorized about Adam's master plan. Since Adam claimed that Dr. Taylor never physically harmed Ashley, Sharon wondered if his involvement had something to do with the baby. Sharon painfully recalled what memories she does have of giving birth to supposedly stillborn Hope and hearing the sound of a baby crying nearby, but she assumed it was just Faith down the hall. Jack urged both women to keep quiet about their plan until they figure everything out.

Meanwhile, Victor confronted Adam, who suggested that it's in Victor's best interest to protect his son. Victor reminded Adam that he doesn't take well to threats. After agreeing to stay with Ashley, Sharon headed home to pack her things and ran into Adam. He asked if she'd stand by him, but she said she was only there to pack and told him their marriage is over. Meanwhile, Ashley and Jack came to the conclusion that Sharon's baby may actually be alive somewhere.

Lauren called Michael, who noticed that she was acting more like herself. Daisy got her a glass of water for her pills, and Lauren wondered if the pills were what made her act so weird before. Nevertheless, Lauren took another pill and was suddenly dancing with Daisy. Deciding she needed a little "fun," Lauren asked Daisy to watch the store for her.

Emily begged a male nurse to help her prove that she's not Patty, while
Patty did her best to explain to Paul what might be happening
psychologically to his sister. He told her about the tissue with "Patty's"
blood on it, and Patty was relieved to hear that he threw it out. The
"doctor" insisted that "Patty" is a danger to herself and must be locked up for a very long time. He headed to Jimmy's to drown his sorrows, while Patty went to the hospital to secure her freedom. In Emily's hospital room, she grabbed Em's hand and put it around her throat, then began to scream. This ensured that Emily was given some heavy-duty drugs, which made Patty very happy. Patty announced to Emily that she'll be her doctor from now on. Lauren arrived at Jimmy's and offered Paul a supporting hand/shoulder rub, then started to make out with him in public. He didn't appear to resist.
