Y&R Recaps Week of April 25, 2005
Friday, April 29, 2005
Jack accused Phyllis of knowing Victor went to Katherine, but she didn’t. Victor popped in and confronted Jack about offering Victoria the CEO position. “This is all about you,” Jack spewed. “I have a few words to say to you, and you’re going to listen,” Vic warned, as Phyllis looked on with her mouth open.
TT continued to lurk at the hospital, listening to everyone’s conversation about John. Gloria didn’t notice Tom was standing RIGHT THERE. Ashley to Glo: “If my father knew the truth, he never would have married you.” “But he did, and I’m here to stay,” Glo retorted. Once Glo left, TT struck up another conversation with an unsuspecting Ashley (duh).
Sharon wondered if she and Nick made the right decision letting Cassie out of the house. She regretted not telling Cassie she loved her before she left. Everyone at Crimson Lights, including Cassie, Daniel and Lily, prepared to go to the party in the park. (Cassie was wearing way too much makeup, and her friend looked like Mikalah from American Idol.) Lily fought with Daniel, who again pushed her away and boasted he planned on drinking tonight.
Kevin pounded away at a punching bag just a day after coming face to face with Tom, who used Kev as a punching bag growing up. Gym-rat Mac asked Kev what’s wrong. Michael prepared to meet with TT, agonizing over leaving Kev with TT when they were kids. “I’m proud of you,” gushed Lauren — or “Dr. Phil,” as Mike called her. Michael went to his office, where TT appeared.
Victoria wanted to spend time with her “Mom” before returning to Italy. They cried; there was a puddle on the floor. She left and interrupted the spat between Victor and Jack.

Sharon gave Cassie the green light to go out, unaware that she was planning on attending a sketchy party. Mac told J.T. she gives up — “Frankly, you’re not worth the effort.” Victor admitted to Victoria that he spoke to Katherine, but he refused to apologize for interfering. “It’ll be a cold day in hell” before she works at Newman, she warned. Nikki offered to talk to Katherine, but Victoria said no thanks and announced she was going back to Italy. Bummer. Nikki begged her to stay and paint (!) to her heart’s desire.
Kevin revealed to Michael and Lauren that TT came to the apartment. Michael was touched when he realized Kevin tried to protect him from TT, and suggested they take on TT together. Over decaf tea and $5 lattes at Crimson Lights, Brittany whined to Bobby that she’s scared about having no money. Jack and Ashley tried to stop Gloria from seeing John, but John insisted that she (and her push-up bra) come in. TT lurked in the hallways of the hospital. Later, in the waiting room, he eavesdropped on Ashley and Jack’s conversation and then bumped into Ashley to strike up a conversation.
Gloria told John she’s been reading about hip replacements, even though she was just perusing a baby magazine (!) in the waiting room. “I’m going to be there for you,” she promised.
Sharon and Cassie ran into town to pick up Cassie’s favorite skirt at the cleaners. Nick confronted Victoria about leaving Genoa City. “If you leave, Mom isn’t going to handle it well,” he growled. Sharon and Cassie came home just as things got ugly; Cassie was upset to learn Vic was vamoosing.
Brittany gave her ex J.T. advice on how to woo Mac. Michael set up a meeting with TT. Glo to John: “Your recovery is more important to me than our relationship.” Awww.

Jack broke the news to Victoria that he can’t give her the top spot at Jabot. “Katherine got involved,” he groaned. He accused Victor of tipping off Kay, which wasn’t oKAY with Victoria. Jack offered her the COO position. She said boo-hoo, then stormed out blaming Victor for messing with her life again.
Robin revealed to Mac that she didn’t end her date with J.T. early, J.T. did. J.T. arrived at the gym and pumped iron with Mac (it’s hard to say who has the better arms). Neil and Lily had a heart-to-heart about girlfriends and boyfriends. Cassie plotted to go to a party because Daniel was going to be there. Phyllis asked Daniel if Lily was going, too.
Michael and Lauren talked about the Terrible situation with Tom. After much prodding, Michael guessed that Kev had heard from TT.
Nikki informed Victor that Jack offered Victoria a job, and he said he knew and that it wasn’t going to happen. Nikki argued that it wouldn’t be such a bad idea for Victoria to work at Jabot, because it would keep her in GC.
Neil ran into Phyllis at Crimson Lights; they talked about Daniel, specifically his friendship with Kevin. Phyllis got nervous and suggested he let it go. Devon asked Lily to go to the party with him. Nick wanted to let Cassie go to the party (does he ever make a good decision?).
Victoria returned to the ranch and went off on Victor, who’s suddenly everyone’s punching bag.
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
Victor revealed to Nick that Jack is considering hiring Victoria. Victoria flirted with “Bradley” at the gym and then they went for a run outside.
Brittany surprised Bobby with lasagna, courtesy of Gina (she’s been cooking up a storm lately!). Terrible Tom to Kevin: “Come over here and give Daddy a hug.”
Katherine reiterated to Jack that if he fires Jill, he will have to re-sign. “Thank you so much, Mother,” Jill gushed. Katherine revealed to Jill that Jack was planning on hiring Victoria. Jill flipped. “So I’ve always been plan B?” Yep.
Kevin to TT: “You’re a thug.” But TT wasn’t buying the tough guy act, and went to hit him. “I’m the only father you got, boy.” Kevin started to cry and TT tried to give him a hug. When Kevin pulled back, TT warned, “You will always be the same little cockroach you’ve been since the day you were born.” TT then brought up the loTTery ticket, thinking Kev won.
Bobby ranted about not being treated like a charity case. “Bobby, it’s a pan of lasagna,” Brit retorted, adding, “I can get a job too.” (Yeah, there’s always stripping…). Bob stormed out after breaking stuff. Nice.
Victor begged (that’s right, BEGGED) Nick to find a place for Victoria at Newman. The Sopranos guy gave Bobby a handful of bling for safe-keeping. Michael and Gloria bonded and she told him she loves him. “Sorry,” Michael responded sweetly.
Jack promised that Victor would pay for screwing up his plans to hire Victoria. Meanwhile, Nick gave Victor more attitude. “Let it go,” ordered Nick. Victor warned his son that his decision will end up destroying him.
Bobby came home and apologized for losing his temper; he even brought Brit flowers. They kissed and made up.
Kevin freaked on Michael when Michael came home, not telling him that TT had just paid him a visit.

Victoria doesn’t think Jack knows Jack, so she confronted him about giving the CEO spot to Jill. A guy straight out of The Sopranos (duh!) called Brittany and demanded payment on hospital bills. Gloria threw a dinner party at Michael’s to celebrate the lottery win (after taxes, Michael received just shy of $500,000). Gina catered and got some airtime. When Michael announced he’s donating 100,000 to a tsunami relief fund in the name of Kevin Fisher, Gloria almost choked on her pigs in a blanket. Michael also revealed he was giving Kevin 50 percent of the rest, and would help Gloria find a new place.
Robin (played by that Early Show contestant winner) came on to J.T. at Crimson Lights, but he turned her down (like that would happen in real life…). Cassie begged Nick and Sharon to let her out of the house. Sharon and Nick agreed to let her go horseback riding, but she took the four-wheeler for a spin instead, and got yelled at. Victor revealed to Katherine that Jack lured Victoria back to Genoa City so he could name her CEO of Jabot, but he gave the CEO position to Jill in the end.
Jack told Victoria that she took too long to make her decision. She batted her eyelashes and asked if it’s too late to throw her name into the ring. When Jack hesitated, slick Vik told him to get over his feelings of loyalty to Jill and get back to her with an answer by midnight. Yes, sir.
J.T. was miffed when Mac returned home with Kevin. The “bill collector” called Bobby and asked if he’s reconsidered the money-making scheme. (Maybe Bobby should ask Michael for a loan….) Katherine showed up at Jabot and told Jack that he should reconsider his plans “shafting” her daughter. “If you fire her, I fire you.” Not a good day for Jackie Boy.
Kevin’s bubble was burst when he came home and found Terrible Tom sipping leftover champagne in the living room. Cheers!
