Young and Restless Recaps

Y&R Week of May 3, 2010

Monday

Upon seeing Daisy and Daniel in bed together, Amber ushered Eric into the other room, then threw Daisy out of the apartment. "What the hell happened?" a dazed Daniel asked but Amber didn't believe his claims that nothing went on between him and Daisy. Eric came in and Amber introduced the boy to Daniel. Amber explained that her mother deserted Eric, who then tracked Amber down. She decided she needed more time to think and left with Eric.

Sarah broke into Phyllis's house. Phyl heard an intruder and crawled into a closet. Footsteps approached and someone started pushing on the closet door. "What do you want?" a terrified Phyllis screamed. Sarah reached through the door and started to strangle Phyllis. She was shocked to see "Lauren" was her attacker and fought her off. Phyllis bluffed that security was on their way and Sarah fled.

Since Murphy was a trained helicopter pilot, he convinced Katherine to rent a chopper so he and Kevin could fly over the amusement park to search for Jana. Kay went with the guys and they looked for Jana from the sky. Kevin realized that the zoo should be searched, too, and they flew there.

Jack showed Emily's diary to Ashley, who was surprised to see pages of nonsensical scribbles. Jack opined that there was "something seriously wrong with my wife" and wondered if Patty had switched places with Emily. He headed to the hospital, where Dr. Jasper wouldn't let Jack in to see Emily. Jack was stunned to learn that his wife had him removed from the list of approved visitors.

Ryder realized that Daisy took the key to Lauren and Jana's cage from him. He tried to break the lock, to no avail. Ryder was trying to call Kevin when Daisy showed up. Shoving clothes through the bars, Daisy ordered Lauren to change. Lauren refused, until Daisy trained a gun on Jana. Daisy gave the key back to Ryder and told him to open the door. Once he did, he tackled her and yelled for Lauren and Jana to run. Daisy retrieved the gun and went after the escapees.

After pocketing a gun, Patty knocked on Michael's door. He let her in and fretted out loud about Lauren's behavior. Patty insisted that Lauren was getting better, which made Michael angry. "Maybe you should be seeing a psychiatrist," Michael raged. "You're the crazy one here, lady." Michael revealed that Phyllis called earlier and reported that Lauren was acting so strangely, Phyllis asked her to leave. Patty realized that Sarah never killed Phyllis, and advised Michael to stay away from his wife. Patty left and returned to the empty Abbott mansion. She called Sarah's phone and left a message that she hadn't killed Michael.

Phyllis emerged from the closet and screamed when someone grabbed her. It turned out to be Michael, and she recounted how Lauren tried to kill her. Michael called Lauren's cell and when she answered, he said they can work things out. Too late, declared Lauren, and hung up. Phyllis noted that "Pop Goes The Weasel" had been playing in the background; Michael said it sounded like the same music from the abandoned amusement park. They decided to go there to check it out.

Jack returned home and he held up the diary. "How did you do it, Patty?" he raged.... Daniel realized that Daisy drugged him.... From the helicopter, Kevin saw two people running and asked Murphy to land.

Tuesday

Daisy ran through the woods as Ryder followed. Murphy, Katherine and Kevin landed the helicopter after spying two people running. "Please God, let one of them be Jana," prayed Kevin.

"Why would Lauren say it's over?" Michael asked Phyllis as they drove in the dark. He went through a variety of scenarios, worried that Lauren might hurt herself. Daisy and Ryder did this to Lauren! Michael recalled the blood work — there was something off. He beat himself up for moving out when she needed him most. "We're going to get her help and she's going to kick your butt at ring toss," promised Phyllis. Michael's eyes welled as Phyllis reassured him that their love will get them through.

Lauren tried to carry Jana as they ran, but Jana said to go ahead on without her. "I'm not leaving you!" said Lauren. They entered an abandoned funhouse. All of a sudden, the lights came on and the machine they were on started moving. "Hey, gang!" sneered Sarah. "The fun's just beginning!" Sarah strolled the merry-go-round with a gun as Lauren yelled out a deal. If Sarah would get help for Jana, Lauren would stop running. "I think I'll just kill you both," retorted Sarah. All of a sudden, Kevin jumped onto the merry-go-round. Jana called out, "That's not Lauren!" as Sarah fired at Kevin. "Time to see Daddy!" she yelled.

At the Chancellor house, Amber flashbacked to finding Daniel in bed with Daisy. Amber left a message for Chloe outlining what happened with Daniel, saying that little D was at the house with her. Daniel arrived with the news that he had figured out something about Daisy. Amber was incredulous that he could fall into bed with "crazy, mean" Daisy. "She had to have drugged me," concluded Daniel. Amber responded that Daisy isn't their problem. She wants to be a mom and Daniel doesn't want that. Daniel asked Amber to come home, but she said they need time apart. Daniel said he loved her and was there for whatever she needs.

Jack thrust Patty's journal in her face, calling it the ravings of a lunatic. "This farce ends now," he spit. Patty insisted she is Emily, adding that Jack invaded her patient's privacy. "I am Patty's doctor," she said, trying to explain why she had Patty's diary. Jack called their marriage a train wreck and accused Patty of tricking him into marrying her. "There's a woman in a padded cell who has spent the last few months insisting she is Emily," he rued. "Right now, I'm inclined to believe her." Patty dialed her hysteria down and admitted she has changed, reminding Jack of all their nights together making love till dawn. Jack recalled that she started acted differently on their honeymoon. He ordered her to put him on the list of approved people to see Patty and stormed out. Patty freaked.

Katherine and Murphy heard the shots outside the funhouse, as did Phyllis and Michael in his car. "Go get her," urged Phyllis. Sarah and Kevin struggled for the gun, which went off. Kevin smacked Sarah in the head and she fell to the ground. Jana and Kevin were reunited. "I've got you," he assured her. "Daisy and Ryder are Sheila's children and that woman Sarah is her sister," revealed Lauren as Sarah and Daisy came upon them. "Kill them," Sarah ordered Daisy. Daisy trained the gun on Kevin and Jana. Ryder stepped in front of the gun, asking Daisy to run away with him. Sarah has only ever made our lives miserable, he said. We can run away and no one will ever find us. Ryder promised everything would be okay as he took the gun from her. Daisy ran off. Kevin grabbed the gun and pointed it at Ryder saying someone had to pay. Ryder explained Sarah's revenge plan to Kevin, thanking him for letting him know what real family feels like. Kevin told Ryder the best he could offer after everything that's happened was the chance to run. Ryder took off.

Phyllis sat alone in the car flashing back to Lauren's erratic behavior. "Oh my God," realized Phyllis. "She isn't Lauren!" Phyllis made her way into the funhouse, where Kevin confirmed her suspicions that Lauren isn't Lauren: She's Sheila's sister!

Sarah ran after Lauren with a gun, taunting her. She shot at what she thought was Lauren, but it turned out to be a mirror. Michael entered, telling Sarah it will be okay. "Let's go home." "Not yet…" Lauren showed up, confusing Michael, as she was sporting the same hair and clothes as Sarah. Lauren explained that the other Lauren was really Sheila's sister. "She wants to kill us!"

Jack turned up at Crimson Lights with a newly adopted cat. "Ready to help me, Mrs. Kitty?" he asked. Back home, a violent Patty took a knife to Emily's painting.

Katherine and Murphy flew Kevin and an ailing Jana to the hospital in the helicopter. "Jana!" screamed Kevin as she passed out.

Lauren and Sarah struggled for the gun. Each woman tried to convince Michael she was Lauren, giving details of Michael and Lauren's wedding to prove it. The Lauren holding the gun started to cry. Phyllis walked in with a gun and saw the two Laurens: "Son of a bitch!" Michael asked the Lauren holding the gun to put it down, promising that Sarah would go to prison. "It's over," he vowed. The Lauren holding the gun started firing as the mirrors shattered.

Wednesday

Nick was ushered into an empty interrogation room at the jail, repeating that he would not take the deal. Pomerantz told Chance he knows what to do with Nick. Chance let Nick stew while he worked on accessing messages from Adam's phone. Chance called Chloe, who filled him in on Amber and Eric staying at the Chancellor house. A call came in to the police station — shots fired at the old amusement park. Chance told Chloe, who relayed the information to Amber just as Daniel entered with the news that Jana had been found and rushed to the hospital.

Michael urged the Lauren holding the gun to put it down. "This ends right here, right now," he said. "You're right," she responded, as she started firing. Bullets ricocheted through the fun house as the mirrors shattered. Michael ran to Phyllis's side, but she told him to go after Lauren. Phyllis got up with the help of her crutches, only to run into the other Lauren training a gun on her. Shots rang out. Phyllis spied the scar on Sarah's arm from their fight and pronounced that it was Sarah who was shot. Sarah remarked that Phyllis lacked imagination, asked where Daisy and Ryder were, and then mumbled something about Lauren before dying.

Kay and Murphy comforted Kevin at the hospital. Amber, Daniel and Chloe arrived asking what happened. Kevin explained the whole "Lauren is really Sarah who is Sheila's sister/Ryder and Daisy are Sheila's twins" story. He added that he wanted to "puke" because Daisy and Ryder's dad is Terrible Tom, which makes them Kevin's siblings. Chloe phoned Chance and asked him to find Daisy and Ryder. Amber lamented to Daniel that she let Sarah into their house the night before and let her take Fen. Daniel reassured Amber that Fen was safe. Michael entered with Lauren and everyone embraced her. Lauren filled Kevin in on all the goings-on in the cage, and told Daniel that Phyllis was in a hospital room down the hall. Daniel raced out to hug his mom, who was using her hospitalization to get her cast removed.

The doctor told Kevin that Jana has a brain aneurysm. Lauren speculated that Sarah went after Phyllis because Sheila died with Phyllis's face. Phyllis said something was still off about it. Lauren told Amber that Sarah was Deacon's "Dragon Lady." They wondered why Sarah went after Amber, and worried that Sarah had passed on the info about Eric's whereabouts before she died. Daniel decreed, "These people are dangerous," so Murphy and Katherine drove a worried Amber home to see if Eric was okay. He was.

Chance entered Nick's interrogation room saying Nick would want to hear what he had to say. Pomerantz later remarked that Nick's wife was sure going to be surprised.

Chloe headed for the station to get an update on Ryder and Daisy. They got away, revealed Chance. He got aggravated by the new software system he was using to decipher Adam's calls, so Chloe suggested disabling his anti-virus software. Bingo! Chance then listened to Adam's voice on a message saying he was trapped in the basement of the GCAC by his "loving family."

Phyllis asked Daniel why he never made it to the house the night Sarah attacked her. He lied that he just got "distracted." They came home to an intruder in Phyllis's living room who turned out to be Nick — the charges were dropped! Phyllis relayed the horror of the past few days. Nick got angry that he wasn't there to protect her. They celebrated his release with a sex romp.

Lauren hugged Michael, saying she just wanted to go home, take a shower, and get in her cozy bed with Michael and Fen. Gloria brought Fen to the hospital to surprise Lauren. "Mommy's all better!" exulted Fen as the family embraced.

Kevin kept vigil at Jana's bedside. She opened her eyes. He told her Sarah was dead and she was safe. He promised never to let her out of his sight again.

Daisy picked Ryder up on the side of the road, snarking that he'll never make it on his own. Let's get out of here, he sighed. "I'll be back someday," vowed Daisy. "It's what mom would want."

Thursday

Heather confessed to Paul that Aunt Patty gave her a coffee cup and begged her to do a DNA test. Heather then got a call and headed out to get the results.

Patty prayed to God to show her the way and then heard a cat meow. "Mr. Kitty?" She picked the cat up and took it inside as Jack watched from the window. Patty saw the cat as a sign from God, fed it and named it Cat. Jack entered, explaining he slept at the club. He asked about the shredded portrait; Patty explained she assumed he didn't want to see it anymore. He asked about the cat; Patty said it was a stray. Jack asked her to keep it in the poolhouse. Patty told Jack she would not rescind the order for him to see "Patty," while cradling the cat which scratched her arm. Jack walked out, spitting that Patty had just outed herself without even knowing it.

Kevin told Daniel that Jana can't speak and may have brain damage. Daniel advised Kevin to love Jana through it. "How's Amber?" asked Kevin. Not good, replied Daniel. She didn't come home last night.

Amber and Chloe discussed Eric and how much Amber missed being a mom. They ran into Daniel at the hospital and he asked if they could talk. Amber begged off to go check on Jana. She found Gloria and Kevin with Jana listening to the doctor explain that Jana's severe dehydration complicated her aneurysm. Kevin whispered to a comatose Jana that the doctor would have to operate, and he would be waiting for her after surgery. Gloria gave Kevin a pep talk to calm his fears. Amber remarked on their mother/son bond and confided to Kevin that she wanted to leave Genoa City to protect Eric from Daisy and Ryder.

Victor refused to meet with Chance in the interrogation room without his lawyer, Michael Baldwin. "You're being released," announced Chance. Victor argued that he had already confessed. Chance responded that there was new information.

Phyllis and Nick brought Summer home, promising no more "business trips" for Daddy. Nick apologized to Phyllis for missing their anniversary. Summer wanted a picnic to celebrate and asked about mommy and daddy's wedding day. Nick got a call from the just-released Victor asking him to come to the jail and pick him up.

Daniel asked Chloe if her daughter made her feel tied down. No, said Chloe, extolling the virtues of motherhood. Daniel said he isn't ready to make the "sacrifice" to be a parent.

Jack found Paul at Crimson Lights. "The woman I married is not Emily. She's Patty!" "I was afraid of that," responded Paul. Paul explained about Heather getting the DNA test for proof. Jack said he didn't need it - Emily is allergic to cats, but the woman he just left didn't bat an eye. Paul called the loony bin to say he was coming with a guest, but was told that Dr. Emily Abbott had restricted all visitors to Patty‘s room. Paul asked for a superior, but was told they were all at a medical conference. Jack said it was time to call the cops. Heather rushed in with the DNA test - the lab report proved Heather and Patty had no markers in common.

Patty went back to blonde then covered her hair with a kerchief. She told Cat she had "one more thing left to do," and headed for Emily's padded cell. "Good news," she hissed to Emily while brandishing a syringe. "You're getting out of here."

Chance told Nick and Victor there was new evidence in Adam‘s murder case - a cell phone had been found and a message had been retrieved. Chance played it for them. "Nick, what are you doing?" said Adam's voice. "That's a set-up!" asserted Nick.

The doctor assured Kevin and company that Jana's surgery went well. Kevin took Jana's hand and it moved. Amber announced she was moving to LA with Eric. Tawny called Amber's cell saying she was heading to Genoa City to fetch Eric.

Patty wheeled a body covered in a sheet to the morgue, and attached a tag to the toe reading, "John Doe." "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya," she trilled to the body.

Daniel apologized to Amber that he was not ready to have a kid. Amber said she can't abandon Eric again. Daniel said he would try to make things work and Amber enthused that he will love California. WHAT? said Daniel. "I know it's sudden…" allowed Amber. Daniel asked if Amber planned to come back. Maybe, she hedged.

Victor called Phyllis and said Nick was being charged with murder. Phyllis sped to the jail, where Nick explained the voice recording of Adam incriminating him. "This punk is dead, and he's still coming after us," rued Nick. Chance arrested Nick and read him his rights.

Heather, Paul and Jack arrived at the mental hospital. Jack gave them his keys and told them to go get Patty at his house. Jack walked into Patty's room. "Emily?" he asked. Patty sat up and Jack took her in his arms. "She knocked me out and tried to kill me!" said Patty. "It's all over," promised Jack. Patty smiled.

Paul let himself into Jack's house. "Patty Cake?" "Oh my God," gasped Heather as she spied the painting. They found a note from Patty to Jack, saying, "Emily will never love you the way I do. I'm leaving Genoa City. You'll never find me. Love, your wife Patty."

The body in the morgue was revealed to be Emily. A technician slammed her body into a metal drawer and shut the door.

Friday

A body was wheeled out covered in black as Adam's voice intoned "Here lies the body of Adam Newman…" Adam then narrated parts of the episode.

Reed gave Victoria a Mother's Day card. Victoria told JT that the visitation schedule he was allowing her was "sick." JT asked her not to bring up Nick's arrest for Adam's murder. "Yes, that's exactly what I was going to bring up," Victoria responded sarcastically. "A murder investigation."

Victor challenged Chance about the recording of Adam's voice implicating Nick in his murder. Chance said they matched it to existing recordings. Nick asserted to Phyllis that he did not murder Adam. She knows Nick is not a murderer — Adam set him up.

Amber and Daniel discussed his inability to be a dad. She cited the fact that Danny was not Daniel's biological father, but he said Danny raised him from birth, unlike Daniel and Eric. Murphy and Katherine entered with the boy. Murphy took Eric home to pack so Amber and Kay could have a heart-to-heart. Amber announced she and Eric are leaving tonight — "and Daniel is not coming with us."

Victor phoned Sharon to tell her Nick had been re-arrested. Sharon raced to the jail. "How are you?" she asked. "I'm pissed," responded Nick. Sharon said Nikki sent her love but can't get over her cold. Victoria entered and they all discussed "Adam's gift from the grave."

Jana sat up but did not speak. The doctor pronounced that Jana's motor functions are back as Kevin, Chloe, Gloria, Amber, Daniel and Katherine looked on. Amber asked for a moment alone to say goodbye to Kevin. They reminisced about their time in the box car. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you," he praised. Amber thanked a sleeping Jana for being so nice to such a "slutty little blonde gold-digger," and said she'd call her all the time. Jana's eyes opened.

"Dude, are you dense?" Kevin asked Daniel, who reiterated that he is not interested in being a dad to "some strange kid." Kevin reminded Daniel how Amber has stuck by him, but Daniel said he thinks Amber should stick around to work things out.

Amber and Eric said goodbye to Katherine, Murphy and Chloe in the hospital hallway. Chloe and Amber laughed about how they had so much in common, they even married the same guy. "Yes, that was an interesting way to bond," cracked Katherine. Amber pulled Katherine aside and said she has to leave to keep Eric safe from Daisy, Ryder AND Tawny. "Follow your instincts," advised Kay. "If your child's needs come first, you'll have nothing to regret." Amber talked about what a bad mom Tawny was ("Gloria could give her parenting tips") and sobbed, "You've been more of a mom to me that Tawny could ever be. I love you." The women embraced.

Daniel flashbacked to his romance with Amber. Amber called the radio station, ID-ing herself as Marina and crying that she is a mom who has to let something she loves go. At Crimson Lights, Daniel heard Amber‘s voice. He called in, asking to speak to his wife. He said he can't live without his best friend, and promised to always love her and miss her. As he was talking, Daniel entered their apartment to find Amber standing there on the phone. They hugged one last time before she left.

It turned out Victoria had brought Reed to the police station when she came to see Nick, so an angry JT arrived to pick him up. Victoria emerged and asked where her son was. JT's lawyer said he had seen the kid there and called JT. "How dare you?" accused Victor. Victoria stormed out to find her son. He was with JT at Crimson Lights. "Have you lost your mind?" asked JT.

"Water," said Jana. "You can talk!" exulted Kevin. "Do I know you?" she asked.

Victor shoved Adam's coffin into what looked like a crematorium as Adam's voice intoned that he did indeed set Nick up so that Victor could watch his favorite son rot in jail.

Nick asked Phyllis to move into the main house while he is in jail to keep her safe. Phyllis fretted about living with Nikki, Victor, Sharon, Faith, etc. but Victor said he'd look out for all of them. Victor promised that whoever is after the Newman family won't succeed, as Adam's voice scoffed. Phyllis and Sharon went home to the ranch and decided to solve Adam's murder together. Who would do this to Nick? they wondered.

"Nick will go down," vowed Adams voice. "You might think that a dead man wouldn't care about revenge — but you'd be wrong."
