Y&R Recaps Week of July 17, 2006
Friday, July 21, 2006
Carmen got her place ready for Neil’s “visit” and put some sexy jazz on for effect. Meanwhile, he was shocked to find a fedora-wearing Drucilla back from her European vacation. Dru was happy to see him and was all huggy and affectionate; Neil wasn’t quite as warm. Both agreed that the break was good for them and made some small talk about Lily and Devon. Dru then gushed about her trip, calling Prague, “the bomb.” Neil bristled when she noted that he took out the telescope she’d given him. When Dru stepped away, he started to leave Carmen a message, but then Dru returned to the room. Soon, Devin came home and was thrilled to see Dru. As he kept her occupied with the details of his summer internship, Neil called Carmen and told her that he’ll be late. Dru was surprised when Devon shared how relaxed Neil’s been lately. When Neil finally stopped by Carmen’s, he revealed that his wife has come home. Carmen encouraged him to go home to Dru, but not before reminding him that he’d once said his marriage was rocky. She then opined that Neil deserves to be happy (meaning with her, of course). Once he left, a sad Carmen turned off the lights and moped. Later, Neil came back home and found Dru looking through the telescope. He tried to get into looking at the stars with her, but his blank expression indicated that it just wasn’t as much fun as it had been with Carmen.
Victoria wondered where Brad was. Nicholas soon came up to the office, still shocked from catching Sharon and Brad making out. Vicky asked how he’s doing. “Don’t ask, you don’t even want to know,” he spit. Victoria demanded that he tell her why he’s been acting so strangely and wanted to know if he’s the father of Phyllis’s baby. He confirmed this. “Does Sharon know?” she asked. “I’m afraid she does,” he replied.
Nick then told Michael that he’s the father. They played b-ball together (wow, Y&R is really getting good use out of this set lately) and discussed how Phyllis wants to raise the kid herself. “Phyllis is a grown woman,” Michael reminded him. Nick regretted ever hooking up with her. “No argument from me,” Baldwin retorted. Michael didn’t think Phyllis really wanted Nick to stay out of the baby’s lives. “I’ve heard a lot of things about you, but not that you’re a bad father,” he offered. He then admitted to Nick how nervous he is about becoming a dad himself, given his past.
Meanwhile, in the Car O’Passion, Brad and Sharon continued to go at it — though they might want to rent Titanic to see how steaming up the car windows is really done. Sharon put the breaks on their liaison by confessing that she’d just seen Nick, well, staring in at them. Brad deduced that the baby is Nick’s, given the way she’s behaving. He was surprised when she told him that Nick wants to stay with her and Noah. She explained that she’s sick of being dragged along on Nick’s “roller coaster ride.” She wished she and Brad could be together, but realized that would hurt Victoria, Colleen and Abby, as well as Noah. Later, Brad and Victoria met up in the office, where she barraged him with questions about their upcoming dinner plans. Brad tried to hide his guilt as they spoke. He then opened up that mysterious briefcase and, whoa — lots of cash was inside!
Sharon and Noah worked on a dinosaur puzzle together at home…. Nick came by and told Victoria that “[they] need to talk.” Alone. “I’m actually really sorry,” he began. “What is it you can’t tell me in front of Brad?” she asked. Brad showed up just as Nick was about to spill the beans.
