Y&R Recaps Week of January 29, 2007
Friday, February 2, 2007
In Madison, Jack prepared for his breakfast meeting with Senator Bodi. When Nick said he’d be at the meeting, Jack secretly phoned the senator to reschedule until after lunch. After lying to Nick that Senator Bodi was the one who had changed the meeting time, Jack urged him to just take the jet home to Genoa City, but Nick phoned home to tell Phyllis he’d be returning later than expected. Of course, he really was speaking to Sheila, who had his wife bound and gagged. Afterward, Jack persuaded Nick to skip the meeting and head home. In the meantime, Feds wired Jack for sound so he could set a trap for the senator. When Bodi showed up, Jack offered a huge campaign donation in exchange for greasing the wheels on the zoning permits Newman Enterprises needed for a big development. Bodi agreed and totally started blabbing about how he always takes illegal contributions.
At the Baldwin’s, Lauren got ready to meet “Phyllis”, while a very tense Michael flipped out over a missing computer file. Lauren said that she’s worried about him and also Paul. Michael said he could only focus on Devon’s case.
When Jana didn’t come home, Kevin sought solace from Gloria, saying that he feared telling his lover about the time he tried to kill Colleen had turned her off. After dropping by Michael and Lauren’s place to look for Jana, Gloria and Kevin took off to Crimson Lights, but she hadn’t shown up for work. An extra playing a coffeehouse employee told Kevin that she’d engaged in a loud dispute with Adrian the night before. Kevin surmised that his confession didn’t prompt Jana’s disappearance.
At the university, Adrian caught Colleen trying to decipher a code word on the white board. He offered to help, but she said that she couldn’t tell him anything. However, she still accepted his help with the decoding. He soon cracked part of the code, which was the Latin phrase for “What is truth,” a New Testament reference. A short time later, Kevin charged in to accuse Korbel of being behind Jana’s disappearance. Colleen got rid of him, then she and Adrian resumed their decrypting. He realized that the code was a “famous Latin anagram” for two phrases: “What is truth” and “Truth is the man who stands before you.”
At the Carlton house, Victoria, Brad, Victor and Nikki tried to unscramble the code by using Scrabble tiles. Then Victor and Brad launched into a shouting match over which one of them was responsible for putting the family in jeopardy. Coll rushed home to tell her dad and Victoria about the anagram…. After receiving an update on the Bodi set-up from Jack, Victor filled in Nikki; the Newmans observed that they were “killing two birds with one stone” since Jack’s comeuppance was coming, too. And Brad Carlton’s next, added Victor.
Phyllis got Sheila to take her gag off and offered to hand over her passport and let her look-alike disappear. Sheila purred that maybe she’d just stay married to Nick (wink, wink) and be best friends with Lauren. Speak of the devil, Lauren phoned to say she and Fen were coming over for their play date. When Lauren and Fen arrived, “Phyllis” went to make coffee and her guest started to hang up her coat, but when Lauren opened the closet door she saw bound-and-gagged Phyllis. A second later, Sheila had a gun pointed at Lauren’s head. As she was being held in restraints, Lauren begged Sheila not to hurt the babies. Sheila said she wouldn’t hurt babies, but that she loved the “begging” part. Sheila then used the walkie-talkie to taunt Paul, who was still trapped with Maggie in the warehouse nursery/prison. Michael phoned to talk to Lauren, but “Phyll” fibbed that she wasn’t there. Still unable to track her down, he called back and “Phyllis” assured him that his wife will turn up.
Michael went to the warehouse where he discovered Paul and a bleeding Maggie, trapped in the nursery/prison. Nick returned home and found a tied-up Lauren, who cried that Sheila had left with Phyllis and the babies.
