Young and Restless Recaps

Y&R Week of October 8, 2007

Monday

Jack and Sharon enjoyed a romantic morning together at home. Meantime,
Brad's "anonymous" tabloid story about Nicholas and Sharon kissing appeared
in the paper. At Crimson Lights, Daniel was aghast to read the story. He
immediately found Nick at Newman and confronted him about cheating on
Phyllis. Nick explained that Phyllis already knew about the kiss ... Jack
was
horrified when he got a call about the story and demanded that Sharon be
left alone. Sharon tried to figure out who wanted to humiliate her.

Daniel visited Phyllis in jail and told her about the tabloid story. Phyllis
was furious. Daniel wondered if she is angry with Nick, but she said that
she's forgiven her husband. She added that she's worried about Jack.

Paul and Maggie discussed the Ji Min case at the GCAC. David interrupted
them and implied that Jack had reason to stop Ji Min from doing his
interview. Later, Paul filled Cane in on the Clear Springs investigation,
advising him to lay low.

Victoria and J.T. awakened in each other's arms and looked forward to
enjoying their future together as an engaged couple. She was grateful to
have him in her life — while he looked forward to being a father.
Later, they
went out for breakfast, but J.T. became distracted when he spied one of the
contractors he believes is involved in a kick-back scam. Victoria wished
J.T. had a less potentially dangerous job.

Nikki visited Victor at Newman and asked if they could keep the news of
their divorce private so that Clear Springs wouldn't be affected. Victor
coldly refused. Soon after, he confided in Neil about his and Nikki's split.
Neil expressed his regret. Meanwhile, Nikki sadly confided in David about
how heartless Vic is being. David believed that Victor is also upset about
the divorce but is better at hiding his feelings. He also suggested that
Nikki ask Victor for an extension on her payment.... Victor was pleased when
he realized that, thanks to his private drilling company, he'd profit at
Clear Springs, no matter what happened in his personal life.... Victoria
later noticed David shaking hands with the man whom J.T. suspected was
involved in a Clear Springs scam.... Nikki asked Neil and Victor for an
extension, but Victor turned her down.

At Newman, Sharon and Brad ran into each other in the break room. Brad
mentioned the article, but she asked not to discuss it. Brad pouted when she
left to be with Jack.... Phyllis called Nick at work to talk about the
tabloid. They both concluded that Brad was the one who leaked the story.
Phyllis also put some of the blame on Sharon, but Nick reminded her that he
was responsible, too, for kissing Sharon. When Phyllis demanded details of
the kiss, Nick replied that he thought they were "past it." Phyllis
explained that she earned the right to ask all the questions she wants.
After, Victor advised Nick to try to stay under the radar. Nick replied that
he'd feel better if Phyllis were out of prison. Later, Nick confronted Brad
about the tabloid story, but Brad denied leaking anything. Their argument
escalated until Neil broke it up.... Jack suggested to Sharon that he give
up his Senate seat, but Sharon didn't want him to quit. They agreed to
continue being a team and went out to lunch together. At the GCAC, a
reporter asked Jack about Sharon and Nick's kiss. Jack responded by kissing
Sharon and declaring that he loves his wife.

Maggie approached Jack at the GCAC and asked to again speak with Jack about
the Ji Min investigation. When he refused, she suggested he call his
attorney. "

Tuesday

At Crimson Lights, Lily happily informed Devon that she received a good
grade on an exam. They decided to celebrate by having "ice cream night."
Meanwhile at Newman, Neil invited Karen to their family get-together. Back
at the
coffeehouse, Cane gave Lily a book on Australia for her "report." Devon blew
her cover by stating that she's not taking anthropology; she quickly amended
that she's taking it the next semester. After Cane stepped away, Lily reamed
out Devon for exposing her. Later, Lily showed the gift to Colleen. Unlike
Devon, she approved and stated that Cane obviously thinks about Lily. Later,
at ice cream night, Lily and Devon were upset to learn that Karen was
joining them. Things became even more uncomfortable when Karen arrived
wearing a wild leopard-pattern hat that looked like one Drucilla owned.
Karen and Neil realized that Karen had purchased it at the thrift store
where he'd dropped off Dru's things — and that it was, in fact, Dru's
hat.
After, the four gathered to play poker, but Karen wasn't very good at it,
and the kids weren't exactly nice to her. Karen was ready to head out, but
Neil assured her that he had a good time.... Lily and Devon made fun of
Karen behind her back, but before she left, Karen gave Dru's hat to Lily. A
touched Lily took it from her. Once Karen left, Neil reamed out his kids for
not making Karen feel welcome.

Jack assured Sharon that he had nothing to do with Ji Min's death. She
agreed that if the police really had anything on him, he'd be arrested
— and
suggested that he tell them that if they want him to help them, they have to
agree to help him. After, Jack met up with Katherine at the GCAC and asked
her to play the "innocent victim" if the Jabot scandal goes to court. Sharon
joined them, and Heather came to question Jack. Sharon and Jack insisted
that he had nothing to hide and there was no reason to prosecute him. He
agreed to speak about Ji Min if Heather can assure him that he won't be
prosecuted for Jabot.

Meanwhile, Maggie and Paul continued to hash out the case at the GCAC.
Maggie wondered if Jack and Ji Min had gotten into an argument that got out
of hand. After, she got a call that the lab found something on Ji Min's
body. Maggie then asked Jill several questions about whether she or Ji Min
owned a dog; a confused Jill replied that he was allergic to dogs. Maggie
remained cryptic. Later, Sharon and Jack were pleased when the D.A.'s office
called to say that they're agreeing with his deal regarding Ji Min and
Jabot. Soon after, Maggie and Heather came by the Abbott manse and again
questioned Jack about Ji Min; Maggie asked specifically how Jack managed to
persuade Ji Min not to do the interview. Jack admitted that he told Ji Min
he'd purchased land in Ji Min's homeland of Korea and was willing to use it
as leverage. Maggie tried to get Jack to confess that he became physical
with Ji Min. Sharon wondered why they were asking this; Heather explained
that Kim's body showed signs that he'd been in a fight with someone. While
they spoke, Maggie petted Noah's dog, Fisher. After Heather and Maggie left,
Jack regretted speaking with them, but Sharon reminded him that he's not
guilty. Jack was angry that the women were trying to trap him. Jack hoped
the case wouldn't go to trial.... Maggie informed Paul that she's testing a
sample she found against a sample they found on Ji Min's clothing. That
sample happened to be of ... dog hair.<

Wednesday

At Newman, Victoria happily informed Nicholas of her and J.T.'s engagement.
Meanwhile, Nikki stopped by Victor's office and informed him that she called
her lawyer. She wondered how they were going to tell their kids about their
divorce. Victor suggested getting it over with as soon as possible. After,
Nick and Victoria dined out at the GCAC. Nick told her that he wants to
return to being co-CEO so he can help her out at work. Vicky refused, but he
insisted that he wanted to do something for her and her baby.... David
called Nikki, but she didn't answer because she was hashing out her divorce
with Victor. Victor taunted her about her "paramour" calling. She urged her
estranged husband to keep things civil in public.

Paul congratulated J.T. on his engagement, but noted that it was very
sudden. J.T. insisted that his and Vicky's relationship is different from
his past ones. Later, David met up with Paul and J.T. to discuss Clear
Springs, and the detectives played up their "being at odds" act. When J.T.
and David were alone, David wondered if Victor had sent Paul to keep an eye
on them since both were involved with Newman women. After, J.T. told Paul
that Chow is a "shark."

At the GCAC dining room, Adrian showed Colleen an update on his book. He was
interrupted by the dean, who invited him to return to his teaching post at
the university. Colleen reminded him that they can't date if he's working at
the college. Brad then arrived at the restaurant and said hello to his
daughter. She admitted that she was stressed out over Adrian's meeting with
the dean. Brad surprised her by giving her back the money for her college
tuition. He promised to not withdraw his financial support, even if he
doesn't agree with every decision she makes.... Adrian confessed to the Dean
that he's dating Colleen.... Colleen was so nervous about Adrian that she
accidentally spilled a drink on a patron's suit. She apologized, but the guy
wouldn't let up. Heather, who was also dining there, intervened and used her
status as DA to get the guy to back off. Later, Adrian told her that the
dean is okay with him teaching at GCU and dating a student, as long as
Colleen isn't in his particular section. After, Adrian thanked Heather for
helping out Colleen. He was taken aback when Heather informed him that she's
taking his class.

Nick invited his parents to join him and his sister for lunch. Victor and
Nikki soon arrived and immediately Victoria told them about her engagement.
They insisted that they were happy for her, even though they were having a
difficult time hiding their sadness over the divorce. Nick revealed that
he's returning to Newman as a co-CEO. Victor then dropped the bomb: He and
Nikki are splitting. Neither Vicky nor Nick was surprised, but wondered why
they'd given up on their relationship. Nikki explained it was exhausting for
them to keep going; Victor reminded them that Nikki cheated with David.
Nikki retaliated that Victor had abandoned her; Vic called this a
"simple-minded" statement. The kids looked on in alarm as their parents'
argument escalated. Victor soon gave up and stormed out, while Nikki broke
down in tears. She wished she could feel angry rather than sad, and admitted
that Victor's controlling nature had once comforted her. Nick went after his
father and invited him to build a cradle for Victoria with him. A confused
Vic said he didn't have time to do it, but Nick kept going on about it.
Somehow this turned into a metaphor for how Nikki is a "tree" who's stood by
her husband. Victor didn't want to discuss her. Nick warned him not to cut
off everyone who loves him.

At Newman, Victoria and Nick discussed the last time their parents divorced.
Brad interrupted them and made disparaging remarks about her engagement to
J.T. Carlton warned her that if the baby's his, he's raising him.... Nikki
told David that the kids know about the divorce.... Victoria and Nick paid
another visit to their dad at work, urging him to be respectful to their
mother. They left when Nikki arrived and called J.T. and Phyllis to say they
loved them. Meanwhile, Victor had harsh words for Nikki: "How does it make
you feel having failed in business and as a wife?" he asked.

Thursday

From prison, Phyllis called Nicholas to wish him a happy birthday. Jana felt
bad for Phyllis having to be away from Nick. She promised to make the day
special for Phyllis, but Phyll didn't want her "help." After, Nick brought
by Summer dressed in an adorable lavender ensemble and matching beret. The
baby began to cry when Phyllis held her.

Kevin went to see Michael so he could help Kevin with Jana. Instead, he
found Gloria there, who complained to him about Jeffrey. Meanwhile, Maggie
met with Jeff at the GCAC and told him that she's trying to finish solving
the moisturizer case for his late brother William. Jeffrey was intrigued.
Maggie wondered why he's so interested in the case; he explained that Will
had sent him a secret sign, indicating that he needed help with something.
Maggie promised to solve the case.... Gloria made some calls to see if Jeff
was still in town. She believed that Jeff was playing a game with her, but
Kevin believed that if he knew about her tainting the cream, he would've
already turned her in to the police. Glo was determined to find out why
Bardwell was in town and what he wanted from her.

From Crimson Lights, Colleen called Adrian to check in, but he couldn't
speak long because he needed to get to a department meeting at GCU. After,
Heather ran into Colleen at the coffeehouse and praised Adrian's teaching
abilities. Colleen offered to let Heather borrow one of her textbooks. On
their way out, the ladies ran into Michael and Lauren. Heather informed him
that the ruling on Phyllis's appeal would be that day.... Later, Heather
stopped by Colleen and Adrian's place and noticed a figurine on the desk.
Heather explained that it looked like one that belonged to her roommate,
Macey, who'd killed herself. She confirmed this when she noticed a chip in
it which was exactly like one that was on Macey's statue. Soon, Adrian
returned home and explained that Macey's parents had given it to him after
she died as a way of thanking him. After Heather left, Adrian admitted to
Colleen that he still feels guilty over Macey's death and that he kept the
figurine as a reminder to always do the right thing.

Michael faxed Phyllis, who was still visiting with Nick and Summer. She had
a difficult time containing her excitement over possibly being released.
"It's going to be a really happy birthday or a really crappy birthday," she
told Nick, being careful to mouth "crappy" for Summer's benefit. Phyllis
admitted that she spends most of her day in prison sitting and hoping, and
that if she lost, she'd have no more hope. Back at the coffeehouse, Michael
confided to Lauren that he doesn't have much hope for Phyllis getting
out.... Phyllis wanted Nick to be there with her when she got the results of
the appeal, but the prison guard wouldn't let him stay. After, Nick told
Lauren that Phyllis is freaked out. He feared that having Summer visit made
things worse for her by reminding her how infrequently she'd see her
daughter.... Michael met with Phyllis and tried to be realistic, but
hopeful.

Kevin visited Jana in jail. He informed her that he's planning to put up a
Web site explaining how her tumor affected her and made her kill Carmen.
Jana still felt guilty for murdering someone.

Gloria and Jeff met at the GCAC. He confided in her that while he and Will
didn't get along when they were younger, they reunited as adults. Will then
stole Miranda from him and ended up marrying her —— which ruined the
brothers' relationship.

Lauren, Nick and Michael anxiously waited for news on Phyllis's appeal. As
the waited, Fen began walking. Michael grabbed the video recorder, but a fax
then came through. He held it up as the others eagerly looked on.

Friday

At the prison, Michael sadly informed Phyllis that her appeal was denied.
She became hysterical. "I cannot stay in here another day," she cried. "I
have to get out of here, please." Michael tried to remain optimistic for
her, and told her that Nicholas is trying to work something out, as well....
Nicholas stopped by Victor's office and begged him to get Phyllis out of
prison.... Michael blamed Jack for Phyllis's predicament. Jack visited her
in jail and promised to fight with her. Phyllis admitted to him that Victor
offered to get her released, provided she testified against Jack. Jack
replied that he'd take a fall for her, but she didn't want to betray a
friend. The prison chaplain, Reverend Anderson, then came to visit her. Jack
was unnerved that Phyllis knew the same chaplain who'd worked with John on
his will (which Jack tricked John into altering) when John was in prison.

Colleen went to Adrian's class and gave him a nice "welcome back to
teaching" gift. Heather then chatted with her about artists. Heather wanted
to ask Adrian some more questions, but he blew her off.

At the GCAC, Nikki lamented to David about her divorce and the problems with
Clear Springs. David suggested she relax and spend the day with him. He
opened up to her about his past relationship problems, and promised to
support Nikki. Later at Newman, Nikki babysat Summer. Nick stood in the
doorway and watched them together, a pained expression on his face. He
eventually interrupted and asked his mother why she took Summer out of
daycare; Nikki explained that she doesn't spend enough time alone with her.
Nikki assured him that she wasn't talking trash about Phyllis. Nick allowed
his daughter to spend more time with her grandmother. After, they discussed
Victor. Nikki feared what would happen with her businesses now that she and
Victor were splitting.

Nick questioned Victor about his treatment of Nikki. Victor noted that Nikki
went against his wishes when she ran for Senate and then cheated on him.
"Does it still have to end in a bitter divorce?" asked Nick. "You bet,"
Victor replied.

Colleen informed Jack that Brad is now paying for her tuition again, and
will reimburse Jack. Jack was suspicious. He then told her that Ashley is
engaged, which was a nice shout-out to the character who is indeed engaged
to Ridge on B&B.

Heather joined Paul for a cup of coffee at Crimson Lights. She then called
Macey's parents, explaining that she needs to ask them something. After,
she confided in Paul how she was jealous of Macey's close-knit family.
Heather revealed that her mother never remarried after dealing with
Heather's abusive stepdad. She also told Paul that her stepfather even hit
her once. Paul was devastated when his daughter noted her regret that her
real father (who unbeknownst to her is Paul) never got to know her. Later,
Heather spoke with Macey's parents and told them about seeing the figurine
on Adrian's desk. They revealed that they hadn't given it to him.... Paul
filled in Maggie on his talk with Heather. He regretted not being there for
Heather.... Adrian and Colleen fooled around at home. They were interrupted
when Heather stopped by and told them what Macey's parents had said.

Jana met with David at the prison. David admitted that he was reluctant to
meet with her after what she did to Carmen. Jana noted that the anniversary
of Carmen's death is in a few weeks, and asked if he could help her contact
the family. David wondered why she targeted Carmen; Jana explained that her
illness took over her. David recalled how devastated he'd been when he got
the news. Jana wanted to turn her life around to make up for what she'd
done. Later, Jana confided in Phyllis that even though she was sick, it
doesn't change the fact that she murdered someone.

Michael, Jack, Nikki, Nick and Victor met at Newman to discuss how to get
Phyllis released. Nikki suggested getting Phyllis a new lawyer, but Michael
insisted on staying on as the attorney. Michael then suggested that they
find a way to get Phyllis out on work release so that she can work on Clear
Springs. Nikki urged Victor to do it for Summer. Later, Nick returned to the
prison and assured his wife that he's doing whatever he can to get her out
of there. Phyllis told him to keep Summer away from Nikki, but Nick
explained that it might just be Nikki who helps get her released.
