Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of October 22, 2007
Monday
The show opened with a slow pan over the Clear Springs disaster site. In the
collapsed casino's parking garage, amidst the wrecked cars and piles of
rubble and smoke, an unconscious Sharon suddenly opened her eyes and
gasped.
Meanwhile, at the prison, Phyllis watched the news in horror as it reported
the accident. She frantically called Nicholas to see if he was okay, and of
course, got the machine.
At Clear Springs, an injured Nick also awakened in the rubble and called out
to other survivors. When he heard Jack calling to him, Nick pushed some
debris out of the way so that Jack could move. Both men called for Sharon.
They found her and tried to help her stand up, but she screamed in agony.
"What happened here?" she wondered. "Chicken Little, I don't know, I think
the sky fell in," Jack cracked, but Sharon wasn't in a joking mood. Jack
constructed a homemade brace for her leg by tying boards around it. Jack
noted that they needed to escape if they wanted to survive. The trio dug
around and found their cell phones, aspirin and bandages. The men began to
argue over which way they should head out, but were interrupted when the
ceiling caved in some more. They both lifted Sharon to her feet so they
could start moving out of danger, but they couldn't find an escape route.
Sharon feared that the structure was too unstable for even a rescue team to
search for them.
A panicked Nikki called Victor and filled him in on the event. She informed
him that Nick isn't answering his cell phone. Victor urged her to get
away from the building, but she refused to leave without their son. Victor
then got a call from Phyllis, asking if he heard from Nick. He told her that
he hadn't, but that he was heading to Clear Springs to check everything out.
He promised to have Nick call her right away once they found him. After,
Jana tried to comfort Phyllis by having her imagine Nick enjoying an
activity that made him happy.... David made emergency phone calls.... Nikki
again spoke with Victor. He warned her that this could be sabotage.... A
desperate Phyllis called Sharon and Jack also got their voice mail systems.
Phyll was upset when the prison refused to let her leave to check out the
scene.
Nikki and David checked around some of the Clear Springs establishments to
see if Nick, Sharon and Jack had been at them. Victor then called and they
discussed how they hadn't heard from Victoria, either. He noted that the
phone systems were overloaded because so many people were making calls.
David tried to comfort her by assuring her that her kids would be
okay.
In the garage, Nick thought he felt fresh air. While Jack went to
investigate it, Nick tried to help an injured Sharon. Jack returned and said
that he also felt the breeze, but couldn't tell where it was coming from. He
also noted that the three of them wouldn't be able to crawl through the
passageway without it collapsing. All three volunteered to stay behind. They
finally drew straws and Jack was the loser. Sharon reminded him how much she
loves him and they kissed. Nick promised to come back for Jack, but Jack
didn't want him to return if it was too dangerous. Nick refused to let Jack
be the only hero. He then thanked his former stepfather for making him the
man he is. The men helped Sharon through the opening, and then Sharon
followed. Jack called after them, assuring them that he'd be okay.
At Newman, Victor and Neil speculated about what might have caused the
disaster. Neil also wondered if it was sabotage.... Phyllis called Daniel
and told him that she needed to get out of the prison. He was shocked when
she filled him in on the accident. Daniel promised to check out Clear
Springs for her.... Neil informed Brad about Clear Springs. They agreed to
drive up there together. Before they left, Brad left Sharon a message
pleading with her to call him. As they rode to the site, Brad called Nikki.
Nikki, who was beside herself, replied that she hadn't heard from Sharon,
Jack or Nick. She recounted how horrible it had been seeing the collapse,
and began to cry. After Brad hung up, Neil chastised him for asking Nikki
about Sharon when she already had Nick to worry about. Brad blasted Neil for
giving him an attitude.... Phyllis also continued to leave frantic messages
for Nick, Jack and Sharon.
Jack struggled to push through the rubble, but was having difficulties
breathing.... David found Nikki and reported that someone was coming out of
the garage: it was Nick and Sharon. As the authorities helped them, Nick
informed them that Jack was still down there. Nikki and David arrived at the
scene, and she was overjoyed to see that her son was okay. Their happiness
was short-lived, though, when a crew member informed them that Noah is also
trapped down there. Nick and Sharon understandably freaked out....
Underneath the debris, Noah was unconscious.
Tuesday
At the Clear Springs disaster site, a concerned Victor finally arrived.
Nicholas wanted to go back into the rubble to search
for Noah, but Victor urged him not to. An injured Sharon refused to get
medical help until they knew Noah was okay. In jail, Phyllis was thrilled
when Nick called her, but he sadly informed her that Noah and Jack were
still trapped.
Jack attempted to crawl through the debris, but was coughing and gasping.
After speaking with Phyllis, Nick told the rescue crew that Jack was still
down there. Brad and Neil arrived and planned to help search for Victoria,
whom no one had heard from. Victor suggested that he and Nikki talk to the
incident commander.... Nick tried to keep Sharon from falling apart. Sharon
feared that she'd lose another child and her husband. She recalled that her
last conversation with Noah had been about something trivial.... Neil
informed the press that Jack volunteered to stay behind while Nick and
Sharon escaped.
Noah was with Paul, Maggie and Lauren. Noah complained that his ribs hurt,
and Maggie concluded that they were broken. Paul promised them that he'd get
them out, however, Lauren began to have a panic attack. Paul managed to dig
through an opening and crawled through. Noah tried to joke around, but
Lauren found no humor in the situation. She blamed herself for their
predicament since they'd been in her store. The four continued to root
around until they came across a pile of what looked like bodies. They
weren't — they were actually mannequins from the destroyed Fenmore's,
but
still pretty creepy. Thankfully, none came to life like Kim Cattrall.
Maggie kept Noah calm and gave him the juice box she had with her.
Back in Genoa City, Michael answered his phone. It was Lauren, who managed
to reach him, but their connection was poor. She managed to tell him that
they were trapped, but was cut off after she said that she loves him.
Michael called Victor to find out what was happening. Victor replied that
they don't know what caused the disaster, but he promised to give Michael an
update on Lauren's situation. A concerned Gloria joined Michael to wait for
news.... Phyllis and Jana watched news of the disaster in jail. A frustrated
Phyllis threw a chair, but Jana took the blame when the guard came in.
Jack made some progress as he pushed his way through the debris, but he
collapsed, gasping for air.
Paul wanted to see if he could light something so they could see better, but
Lauren warned him that there had been problems with methane during the
construction. Paul found a flashlight, but Noah's condition began to
deteriorate. Lauren continued to panic, but Paul managed to comfort her.
Michael, Gloria and Kevin arrived at Clear Springs. "Are you sure it's going
to be all right?" Gloria asked Michael. "No, no it won't," Michael replied,
noting that Lauren suffers from claustrophobia. Gloria wanted to stay
hopeful and said that when Lauren got out, she'd treat her daughter-in-law
to a day at the spa. Michael became angry, blaming the NVP spa project for
kicking off Clear Springs.... Kevin called Jana at the jail and said that he
was working on a Web site listing survivors. Phyllis now had Lauren to worry
about, and yelled at an inmate when she switched off the news.
Underground, Lauren shrieked when part of the roof fell in. Paul suggested
she think about something positive. Lauren thought about Michael and ...
Gloria. "I said think about happy times," Paul joked. "I see you," Lauren
added. "My knight in shining armor." Once she felt better, Lauren joined
Maggie in caring for Noah. Just then, one of the rescue workers managed to
contact them.
In slow motion, the rescue crew pulled out Maggie, then Noah on a stretcher.
Sharon, Nick, Nikki and Victor went to be with Noah, as Michael, Kevin and
Gloria hopefully looked on. Finally, Lauren and Paul emerged; Lauren, her
husband and in-laws engaged in a group hug. Paul brought a shaken Maggie
water and told her he was glad he'd been stuck with her. Maggie suggested
they go to the hospital, but he wanted to stick around and help out. "My
hero," Maggie cooed. Michael and Lauren were enjoying being together again,
but then Lauren asked about Amber's whereabouts. Daniel frantically called
her.... Phyllis spoke to Nick and was thrilled to hear Noah was out, but was
still worried about Jack.... Jack was trapped even more as some rubble fell
on him.
Underground, Katherine awakened and groaned in pain.
Wednesday
At Clear Springs, Jack was still stuck in the rubble. He struggled to make
his way through, but became more and more exhausted.
Kevin worked on the Web site tracking the accident victims.... Daniel left
more messages for Amber — who was stuck underground in her car. A
bloodied
Amber began to gasp and scream, frantically honking on its horn. The noise
caused some debris to fall.... Cane and J.T. were trapped with Katherine.
J.T. began to dig through the fallen blocks, but more fell on them. Kay
noticed some light, so the guys followed it. Amber continued to yell for
help. She managed to kick out the glass in the car's windows and escape the
vehicle. She began crawling through the garage, but then remembered that she
had to get her sketches from the car.
Jill was glad to see Paul was safe, but was concerned about Cane and
Katherine. "What's it like down there?" she asked. "You don't want to know
about that," Paul replied, but Jill said that she did. Paul assured her that
there are "safe areas" within the rubble, and called Kay, "One tough, old
broad." After, Jill and Nikki waited together. Jill wasn't sure Kay would be
able to survive, but Nikki was confident that Kay was strong enough. "Come
on out and give me a hard time," Jill prayed to her mother.
Kay, Cane and J.T made their way over to the elevator. Cane gave J.T. a
boost so he could check out the access panel on the ceiling. Kay suggested
the guys go ahead of her and then return to get her. J.T. told Kay how much
he appreciates her and everything she's done for her. He assured her that
they're coming back for her. Before saying goodbye to Cane, Kay gave him
some practical advice. He and J.T. climbed up the wires in the elevator
shaft until they reached the next level.
Kevin and Daniel worried about Amber. Kevin noted that she always manages to
get out of trouble somehow.... In the garage, Kay and Amber were overjoyed
when they encountered each other. Amber joined her in the elevator. "Now
what?" she asked. Kay explained that Cane and J.T. went to find help and
urged Amber to do the same. Amber refused to leave her. She offered Kay a
candy bar that she found in her purse. Amber also found a fancy pin in her
bag and put it on Kay's suit so she could look nicer. Kay found it amusing
that Amber would still be so concerned about fashion.
Neil informed Jill, Nikki, Victor and Paul that the rescue team reached
someone. It was Cane and J.T. Jill was ecstatic to see her son. The guys
told the team that Kay is still down there. J.T. asked Victor and Nikki
where Victoria was, but they didn't know.... Daniel noted that no one had
heard from Amber.... Cane wanted to go back in after Kay, but the incident
commander wouldn't let him. Cane insisted, despite his and Jill's protests,
saying that he worked for a prestigious rescue group in Australia. They
finally let him help out the rescue team... Nikki continued to fret about
Victoria, while Jill worried for Cane.
Amber took a quick look around the garage and found floor mats for them to
sit on, as well as a blanket. They then discussed Cane. Amber stated that
she really did love him, despite making some stupid mistakes. Kay admitted
that she's made mistakes, too, and the women bonded. Kay said that making
mistakes is actually the secret to success. Finally, Cane returned with some
rescue team members, but Kay didn't think she could crawl up the elevator
shaft. One of the team members put Kay in a harness and hoisted her up the
shaft. Amber was helped out, as well, and they were all lifted out. Jill was
proud of Cane, but he confessed that he made up his Aussie credentials just
so the team would let him help out.... Kevin and Daniel were thrilled to see
Amber alive and well. Amber suddenly began crying from being so
overwhelmed.... Nikki tearfully informed Nikki that Victoria is missing.
Back in the garage, Jack coughed and wheezed. He took a pen and a piece of
paper from his pocket and began writing a good-bye letter to Sharon. "My
love for you is literally keeping me alive," he wrote, as we heard his
thoughts. "In this last hour, I've had so many thoughts about my life ...
the good and the bad. I want you to know you and Noah and Kyle and my
sisters, you must always remember one thing: I could not have loved you
more." "I love you," he said aloud, then fell unconscious.
Thursday
Nicholas and Sharon waited in the hospital lobby for word on Noah's
condition. Sharon felt guilty that they hadn't been with their son during
the Clear Springs disaster; Nick was just glad that Noah is alive. Sharon
also feared for a still-trapped Jack's fate. Soon, the nurse came out and
informed them that Noah had cracked ribs and a broken spleen, and he would
need
surgery immediately. Another nurse assured Sharon that Noah has a great
surgeon.
Colleen arrived in Clear Springs and met up with Kevin. They gave one of
Adrian's items to the rescue team so they could have a search dog sniff his
scent. Colleen freaked out over the fact that Adrian, Victoria and Jack were
missing. "Jack's too toxic to die," cracked Kevin, pointing out that they
didn't even know for sure that Adrian and Victoria were in the rubble.
Colleen replied that Adrian hadn't checked his cell phone messages. Kevin
noted that if he and Colleen could survive being trapped in a freezer in a
burning building, then Adrian could survive being trapped in the
garage.
J.T. also worried about Victoria.... One of the crew members then handed
over
Victoria's purse to Victor and Nikki. Nikki completely broke down in
Victor's arms.... At the hospital, Nick received a call about Victoria.
Sharon comforted him.... Daniel volunteered to help with supplies.... David
was alarmed when Nikki told him about Victoria. Nikki was concerned that if
Victoria were alive, the stress would affect her pregnancy.... J.T. wanted
to find Victoria, but Victor urged him not to do something he wasn't skilled
to do.... Colleen panicked when the incident commander revealed that they
found the body of a Caucasian male. She prayed it wasn't Jack or Adrian.
Neil tried to field questions from the press. He pleaded with them to
respect the victims's privacy.... J.T. sadly informed Colleen that they
found
Victoria's purse. She realized that this meant that Victoria and Adrian were
underground.
Sharon was devastated when Nick revealed that they found a male's body. She
called Nikki to find out who it was, but she still didn't have information.
It turned out to be Joe, the construction supervisor. Sharon was relieved
when Niiki said that it was someone she didn't know.
Jack was still unconscious in the rubble.... A trapped Victoria called out
for Adrian. She helped him crawl out from behind a pile of cement blocks.
Victoria was glad to feel the baby kicking, but she was having a difficult
time
breathing. They wondered what had happened. Adrian told her that he really
admires her; Vicky was happy to have him there with her, so she didn't have
to be trapped alone. She was concerned about their air supply, but he
assured her that they'd be fine for awhile. He advised her to keep a
positive attitude. She believed that her father would do whatever was
necessary to find and rescue her. She then shared a story about how when she
was younger, she left the house and a worried Victor had a plane write
messages in the sky, ordering her to come home.
Sure enough, above ground, Victor was helping the crew search through the
rubble with a camera that was lowered below the ground. The crew member
warned that the methane levels were rising, which could cause an
explosion.... Nick continued to keep Sharon from falling apart at the
hospital.... Later, the incident commander made an announcement about the
methane levels and ordered the civilians to leave the area. Colleen and
Nikki refused to go.
Below ground, Adrian said that the first thing he's going to do when they
get out of there is tell Colleen he loves her. Victoria said that she might
go back to Italy or paint a masterpiece — but mainly, she just wanted
to get
out alive.
The nurse told Nick and Sharon that Noah's surgery went well. However, she
said that not having a spleen makes Noah's susceptible to infection and that
he'll need to be monitored for the rest of his life.
Above ground, the team spied Victoria and Adrian with their cameras. Nikki
and Victor were overjoyed. The crew called down to Victoria, who asked about
J.T. Suddenly, there was an explosion. Victor and Nikki were fine; Victor
dove into the rubble to find his daughter.... Adrian and Victoria were still
alive, but a piece of rebar was stuck in Adrian's side. Victoria began
screaming for help. She then spied an opening and insisted that they crawl
through it.
Meanwhile, Victor found a body in the mess; it was Jack's. The rescue team
helped him get Jack out; thankfully, Abbott was still alive.... Daniel
called Sharon to let her know.... Victoria helped Adrian through the
opening, and they were met by J.T. J.T. assisted Adrian as Victoria exited
the building. However, just as she was running to greet her parents, she
fell and was knocked unconscious.
Friday
Victoria, after getting hit on the head and falling, was wheeled into the
hospital, unconscious. Nikki, who was beside herself, met up with Nicholas.
He wondered how the baby was, but Nikki was mainly concerned with Victoria.
The doctor told the Newmans and J.T. that he heard the baby's
heartbeat.
Meanwhile, Sharon kept watch over Noah in his hospital room. She was happy
when Jack called from his hospital room. Jack said he was fine, save for
some bruises, but wasn't sure of the others' conditions. He promised to join
her soon. After, Noah awakened and was confused to be in the hospital.
Lauren and Michael paid him a visit and told him how brave he'd been during
the Clear Springs ordeal, but Noah didn't remember the accident. The
Baldwins agreed to watch Noah while Sharon enjoyed a reunion with Jack. Noah
was glad to hear that Jack was okay.
A nurse tended to Adrian's leg, which had been pierced by the rebar. He
asked how Victoria was doing, but the nurse had no information.... Brad was
also desperate to get news on Victoria. Meantime, Brad was suffering from
eye irritation, thanks to the explosion.... Jack was willing to postpone his
medical tests so he could check up on everyone.
Neil continued to handle questions from the press. Karen volunteered to help
him. She suggested he get some rest, but Neil refused. Karen insisted that
she could handle the media, but he wanted to wait for news on Victoria. He
noted that Devon and Lily were both considering coming up to Clear Springs,
so they could've been affected by the tragedy. He was grateful to have Karen
there with him.
Colleen tended to Adrian, who explained that he'd need surgery to remove the
piece of rebar in his leg. Adrian asked her to take a picture of him with
her cell phone. He called himself Adrian "Rebar Man" Korbel. He recounted
what the experience had been like for his girlfriend.
The doctor told the Newmans that Victoria's condition was stabilizing, but
he had no idea when she'd regain consciousness. Sharon and Jack joined Nick
in the lobby; Nick reported that Victoria's blood pressure is high. Nick was
glad to see Jack was doing well, but he regretted that they left Jack
behind.
Nick went to see Noah.... Nikki told the doctor to do anything that was
necessary to help Victoria.... Sharon visited Brad, who told her that he
only suffered temporary damage to his eyes.... J.T. whispered to Victoria
that he loves her.
Paul and Maggie enjoyed a romantic evening together after enduring the
disaster. Maggie talked about how great Noah had been throughout it. Paul
asked if she'd ever consider having children. She said she wasn't sure,
but was willing to "practice" with him. They then had sex, but Paul kind of
ruined the moment by bringing up Lauren and her panic attacks. Maggie noted
that he and Lauren seemed to be close; Paul said that he still cares for
Lauren. Maggie understood and said that she's glad she has Paul in her life.
They kissed.
Sharon took Jack to see Noah. Noah remembered some of the accident,
including it being dark and difficult to breathe. Jack admitted that he was
scared during the disaster. He also praised Noah for taking care of Lauren
during it. Sharon agreed that she'd also been frightened in Clear Springs.
She thanked Jack for saving her and Nick's lives. Jack was reluctant to take
all the credit; he shared that part of why he managed to survive was because
he wanted to get back to his family.
Lauren told Michael and Gloria about having a panic attack in Clear Springs.
Michael tried to comfort her, but she kept dwelling on the incident. She
credited Paul for helping her through it. Later, Gloria brought out Fen so
they could play with him, but Lauren was having trouble enjoying
herself.
In the hospital lobby, Nick filled in J.T. on his, Sharon and Jack's
experience at Clear Springs, then J.T. shared his.... Victor told Nikki how
he'd found Jack in the rubble; he admitted that he wouldn't have been able
to live with himself if he'd let Jack die. Later, Jack and Sharon found
Victor, and Jack thanked him for saving his life. Victor thanked Jack for
sacrificing himself for Nick. After, the doctor told the Newmans and J.T.
that Victoria's vital signs were good and her blood pressure was holding. "I
guess we wait," said J.T. "And we pray," added Nikki. Later, Nurse
No-Nonsense told J.T. that he couldn't sit with her because being her fianc
didn't count as being her family. To his credit, he didn't argue with this
line of reasoning and asked the nurse to play a CD for Victoria. The nurse
again told him to get permission from the family.
The show ended with a montage of Jack and Sharon sitting with Noah; Colleen
caring for Adrian (hey, why did she get to be in his room?); Michael
comforting Lauren; Karen comforting Neil; Maggie and Paul snuggling in bed;
David embracing Nikki as she cried; Victor sitting with his daughter.
Outside, J.T. sadly waited by himself."
