26 September 2011: Monday:

Both Victor and Jack are at Billy's trailer trying to find evidence of where Billy could have gone, but little does Jack know that Victor knows where Billy is and is only there to act just the opposite.  Per usual, those two exchanges words, all the while Billy listens from the outside.  Jack says he has somewhere to be but he's not leaving Victor behind to find something and not tell anyone.  Victor leaves and Jack follows behind.  As they leave Billy emerges from the side of his trailer and goes inside with a bottle of scotch, whiskey, something in his hand.  Just as he is about to open the bottle Victor comes demanding to know what Billy is doing.  Billy gives him is thoughts and then Victor leaves.  Soon after Kevin shows whining about Chloe being all over him with kisses because she thinks he saved her daughter's life.  Billy is not understanding why Kevin is having a problem with this when this is a chance for him and Chloe to get back together.  I didn't even know they broke up - why don't people clue me in on things sometimes.  Or how I about go to read the recaps on CBS's site - or even better - how about I just watch the darn show on the weekends like I used to.  OK.  I'm done yelling at myself.  Kevin tries to deny he wants to get back with Chloe but finally admits it.  However, Billy isn't interested anymore in what Kevin has to say or feels and wants him gone.  Kevin leaves.  Victor shows back up with a bigger bottle of whatever Billy brought with him.  Victor says that he wants to make sure Billy has enough so he doesn't risk going out and being seen.  Billy takes the bottle of whatever and pours it down the drain.  He says his daughter is going to need him and he wants to give her the best Billy he can.

Ronin shows up at the hospital where Chloe is and she tells him they found a bone marrow for Delia and she tells him it was Kevin.  But in reality, the donor was Billy, Delia's father.  Although Billy has been found by Victor, its all hush hush and one else knows safe for Michael and Kevin and I'm not sure why they are the only ones to know this.  But then again, I haven't watched the show in about two weeks.  The last time I watched is when Victor got Billy out of some prison he was in where he had access to a chalk like rock where he could mark on the wall, via ticks, how many days he had been locked up.  I think he was kidnapped or something, but who knows and who cares.  The point is, Billy gave his marrow to Delia via Kevin and now Kevin is a hero in Chloe's eyes.  Ronin and Chloe talk some more about something that didn't mean much to me and finally he leaves.  Later on Vicki shows up at the hospital to visit Chloe and check on Delia.  She tells Delia that Kevin is bit uncomfortable with all the attention he's getting.  Chloe then asks if anything is going on between Vicki and that fool named Sam.  Vicki says no.  I sure hope not!  I thought I paid someone to run him over?

Kevin and Michael are talking at Crimson Lights about what Kevin did and Michael ask what does Gloria think about all this and Kevin says that she hasn't returned any of his phone calls.  Well, as mentioned, I haven't watched the show in two weeks so I don't anything about her getting locked in a cellar and I guess Kevin didn't bail her out because he got side tracked or something.  I'm not sure.  I know I saw Colin get locked in a wine cellar by Genevieve and that was the last I saw of the show.  I'm going to have to read up on Gloria got locked in the cellar and why she was upset when she was down there with all her best friends (the wine bottles).

Sharon is talking to Daisy Carter (Sheila Carter's daughter for those of you new to the country or haven't watched the show since 1926) about something non-important when Avery (Sharon's lawyer) shows up and says to Daisy that all has been arranged and taken care of.  In the wonderful Sharon fashion, she stands there with a shocked look on her face that Avery is representing Daisy and the reason being is, when Avery (who is Phyllis's sister) took on Sharon's case she said she gave all her other cases to her colleagues so she could just concentrate on Sharon's.  But now, she's taking on Daisy's case.  As for Daisy, what Avery (every time I hear that name, I think of the office products, like business care maker, CD label maker, printing labels) did for Daisy was serve Phyllis papers making her bring Lucy, Daisy's daughter, to the hoosegow so Daisy can see her.  Now if you know Daisy, she is not doing this out of the love for her child.  She's doing it to antagonize Phyllis.  But why Avery would get involved, I don't know.  Phyllis seems to think Avery is doing it to get back at Phyllis.  Avery claims she's not.

Ronin is walking in the park - oh wait, do I hear a Chicago song coming on.  Yes I do.  And to make things even better, how about a video to go with that song.

While Ronin is enjoying little free time he has with him being the lead detective on the Diane Jenkins murder case that will never get solved, 

Phyllis spots him and asks him to arrest her.  He looks at perplexed (yeah, that's my new  word of the year - perplexed) she said she wants to keep Daisy from seeing Lucy.  After they exchange conversation, in which he is aware that Avery is Phyllis's sister, he tells Phyllis that the chicken pox is going around and that will buy her a week.  She leaves.  She shows up at Crimson Lights where Michael is and she tells him she has a short term solution.  Now she just needs a long term solution.  She calls the hoosegow that Daisy is in and tells whomever answers the phone that Lucy has the chicken pox and won't be able to go the prison.  I am so surpised that Phyllis didn't have to go through the following:

  
Thank you for the calling Genoa City's ONLY Hoosegow that serves as a holding cell, a jail and a prison where     

all out inmates get unlimited number of visitors in a day.

If you know the name of the inmate you are calling for, press 1

If you know then name of the cellmate of the inmate you are calling for, press 2

If you are unaware that you can visit inmates any time of day or night and when we say night we mean even at      

11pm, press 3

 If you don't know any of this, please stay on the line and someone, we don't know who, will be right with 

 you.  And the hold music is Jailhouse Rock.

After she gets through with that phone call, she calls Nick, but after the first ring, which barely stopped ringing, she says to Michael, he's not answering.  Really Phyllis?  Nick isn't answering?  I wonder why that is since his phone barely rang. Good Grief.  But there's a better reason he's not answering and it's because he's at GloWorm chatting it up with Avery.  Yes ladies and gents, Nicholas Newman is trying to find out what's wrong with Avery and then he comforts her by giving her a gift that was meant for Phyllis, which was a video game.  I hope it was Medal of Honor - you know the good games when they were in World War II, but I hear the Afghan stuff is pretty good.  Oh see, there I go digressing.

While she's trying to call Nick, he's at GloWorm talking with Avery telling her that he overheard her and Phyllis talking.  Basically, he's being nosey and wants to know what the history is between her and Red.  Avery states that there was a lot of trouble when her and Red were younger (I take that to me the parents constantly fighting) and take take themselves away they would play video games.  Avery says that Red was always good at the games and would give Avery tips but still would beat her.  Nick states that he and Red used to play video games all the time as well.  And that's how he ended up giving the video game to Avery and not Phyllis who it was intended for.  Nick is just a dirty lil hamster.

In between all this craziness going on, Chloe goes to Crimson Lights to talk with Kevin and apologize for the kiss she gave him earlier and blah blah blah.  Well as she about to leave, Kevin grabs her and kisses her.  Oh, they are on the patio or whatever that area is where everyone congregates.  Kevin and Mike were out there earlier in the show.  Phyllis and Mike were there mid show.  Phyllis Avery were there shortly thereafter, and now Chloe and Kevin.  Wait, Chloe, Kevin, their lips and Ronin who stands there perplexed and then uses another entrance to the front counter.

The show ended with Vicki writing Billy a Dear John e-mail while doing a voice over of what she's writing.  Then they show Billy getting the email and reading the last line which states, I'm moving on without you, or something like that, and Billy wishing he hadn't poured all the booze out.

NEXT TIME: 
Michael visits Sharon
Colin visits Lily
Billy visits his old house but Vicki comes limping in and he has visit the coat closet.

Young and Restless: Monday - 20 June 2011

At Crimson Lights, Abby, Kevin and Chloe are discussing Daniel's hearing to get baby Lucy back to Billy and Victoria. Just as they are discussing things Daniel walks in and looks none to happy. They ask how did things go


The doorbell rings at Billy's house and its Rafe to check in on Billy. Rafe asks where is Victoria and Billy gives the famous Soap Opera stare, we then see Victoria running into her father's house where she runs into Nick and said she heard the news in the car and wants to know where "dad is" and Nick says he's at the office straightening some things out, and Nick apologized for leaving the hearing early but he got a text from his father then he changes subject by asking Victoria what happened at the trial. Vic gives the famous Soap Opera sort of sad face to where Nick hugs her. Victoria begins to cry and say she lost Lucy.


Phyllis is brings Lucy back to her apartment and tells her shes where she belongs. 


Kathryn visits Tucker in the hospital wheres he's in a coma and begins talking to him about how she's been second guessing herself in all her business decision and how that not like her and she's playfully blaming Tucker aka Comatose.


Victor is in his office on the phone with someone asking how far did they get with the SEC. Oh he's on the phone with Michael Baldwin-lawyer extraordinaire, and Victor is repeating what Baldwin says (though we can't hear him hence the reason for the repeating of words by The Mustache). Apparently the SEC has launched an investigation into fraud and stock manipulation which are both felonies. The charges are going to be filed against Diane and Adam who are at Glo Worm drinking champagne. 

Adam says to Diane the Newman stock keeps going up and up. Adam says he's pleased and rich. He tells Diane he wasn't sure if she could trusted or not. Jack walks in and pulls up a chair to join in the celebration. Adam is confused and then Jack tells Adam the Diane tipped him (Jack) off.

Billy thinks that he should be appealing the decision. Rafe is telling him there's nothing to be done since Daisy, the birth mother is in the picture. Billy says he's lost his daughter and he's pretty sure he's lost his wife

Victoria is talking with Nick at their father's house. She said billy was trying to take her pain away and that the three of them were happy for a while. She wonders how she's going to explain all this to her son Reed. She said when JT finds out he's going to want Reed on on the first thing smoking back home (I forgot where JT moved to). Nick said that if Victoria needs anything he's there for her. She said her and Billy will work things out. She just needed to get out of the house for a bit. Nick apologized again for having to leave the hearing but he received a text that his father had a stroke. Victoria says that the stocks went down when they thought Victor had died but stocks went up when he assured everyone he was fine. Nick said it happened on purpose.

Adam finds out that Diane sold Jack the information about Adams scheme and Jack feels the price he paid was with every penny.

Victor is on the phone with Baldwin again asking what happened. He finds that extraordinary buys were made when the stock hit rock bottom. He's asking for names but Baldwin doesn't have names yet. Victor wants him to stay on it and call with the information. He states he's going to Glo Worm to pick up dinner.

Kathryn is still talking to comatose Tucker. Charlie Brown's teacher is talking during this scene.

Victor shows up at Glo Worm to find Dinae, Jack and Adam there. Jack greets him with a smart remark. Jack tells Victor that he bought a large sum of Newman stock and now he owns a good portion of Newman Enterprises and there's nothing Victor can do and Victor agrees with him but he has a smirk on his face while agreeing with Jack. Adam keeps his back to Victor while drinking his champagne.

Kevin, Daniel, Chloe, and Aabby are sitting at a table at Crimson Lights discussing the whole Baby Lucy thing and how she's with Phyllis who she hardly knows. Once the judge found out Billy bought the baby from a broker it was all but over. They are all trying to find someone to blame and Daniel and Abby agree that it's Phyllis's fault because if she hadn't pushed so hard none if this would be happening.

Nick goes to see Phyllis and says to her that since she won is she happy (said in a sarcastic tone of course and Phyllis says (in her sarcastic tone) that she's happy. She states shes not a monster. Lucy is crying all the while and Nick asks how long has Lucy been crying and Phyllis says a little while and that she's changed and fed her and none of it seemed to help. Nick basically says that Lucy is with a stranger in a strange place and that she needs her mother - referring to Victoria.

Victoria shows up at home and Billy is kind of shocked to see her not completely but enough for me to actually mention it. Victoria says that Reed will be home soon. Billy tells her not to worry because he's packed his bags. Billy says that he still has stuff in the closets that he will send for them because he doesn't want to have to come back. Victoria asks him where will he go and he's he doesn't know but names off some possible places. Billy goes upstairs to get his things.

 Summer shows up at Phyllis's apartment. Phyllis tells Summer that Lucy will be sating with them for a bit.  Summer is not happy and states that Phyllis is her mother and whatnot.  Whatever on her and her tude.

Kathryn is finally leaving the hospital. That goodness because she was riding my nerves talking to Comatose

Victor is about to leave Glo Worm with is food when Jack makes a snide remark. Victor doubles back and asks if he's aware of the laws pertaining to stock manipulation and fraud but the SEC is for that what they do. He states tomorrow will be a day of reckoning.

 Chloe tells the gang at the table that she is going to go after full custody of Delia and Kevin doesn't think she should after all Billy's been through already and she gets mad and storms out. Kevins goes and actually does some work at his place of business. Daniel apologizes to Abby for all he's done. Abby goes to call Victoria.

 Billy comes down the stairs with his suitcase and he's about to say something to Vicky but all he says is bye

Nick tells Phyllis she's recking so many people's lives. She states she knows how upsetting this is to everyone and that even Michael and Loren has turned their back on her. Nick feels that Billy and Victoria were great parents to Lucy and Phyllis brings up the fact that Ashley was a great mother to Faith and Nick took Faith from her. Phyllis has a good pint. TOUCHE PHYLLIS <-- I typed Phyllis with a French accent.

Adam wants to toast Newman Enterprises. Adam and jack aren't worried about the SEC. Diane feels that Victor won't let them get away with it.

 Victor runs into Abby at Crimson Lights. She is glad to see that he's OK. Nick shows up as well. Abby asks how Victoria is doing. Nick said she not doing well. Victor is finding out from Nick what happened and he's shocked and sad.

Reed shows up at Victoria's pad and says it quiet and wants to know the where a bouts of Lucy. Victoria explains that Lucy won't be living there anymore. This is a different Reed. The other Reed was adorable and looked just like Victoria. Reed then asks where is Billy. Well Victoria, where is Billy? Explain that one sister. Go on explain it. I can't wait to hear this one.

Abby visits Comatose. She's telling Comatose about what took place today and how this all started with lies. She's about to confess to Tucker what she did by running him down and all.

Diane is ready to go. She is Adam are standing in the foyer of Glo Worm and she thinks Adam is going to lay into her regarding Jack but all he says is,"Well played" and walks off. Diane has a pleasing smile on her face. In the meantime, Kathryn walks in and finds Jack who she was looking for. Kathryn hires Jack as the CEO of Jabot. He's pleased as pie. Jack finally got Jabot back in a sense.

Crimson Lights:
Nick finds Daniel out on the patio and gives him bit of a pep talk.

Phyllis's pad:
Lucy is crying her little head off and Phyllis can't calm her down.

Crimson Lights:
Chloe walks in with a bag full caramel popcorn for Kevin. It was her way of apologizing to Big Head Kevin and Big Head Kevin accepts her apology.

Jimmy's Bar:
Billy shows ready to throw them back. He orders a tequila. I hope its patron. He tells the bartender to leave the bottle. But since this is a dive bar, its probably not even real tequila.

Victoria's pad:
Victor shows up. Victoria sends Reed out the room. Victoria tells Victor that she can't bear a 'I told you so' right now. He says that's not why he's there and walks over and gives her a hug.

NEXT ON THE BLONDE AND THE USELESS:

Victoria tells Chloe that Billy moved out and Chloe can't believe that Billy would leave at a time like this.

Baldwin tells Victor that there's a weak link and victor wants to make sure Adam goes down.

Adam tells Diane that ihes in the clear with the SEC but her and Jack aren't.
