Y&R Recap:Monday, May 25, 2009

We open at Kay’s Super Awesome Pool Party (or SAPP, if you will). Raul’s back up on the scene slobbing Mac down! They have a little back and forth where the writers are basically like YOU WILL CALL THEM MAUL OR NOTHING AT ALL. Raul’s like ‘You didn’t tell Billy about us?” And Mac’s like “Hell naw!” and they leave.

Tyred and Neil are talking when Devon walks in. Neil says that Devon can help take things down to the car, but Devon has selective deafness and doesn’t respond. Tyred wants to know why Devon isn’t speaking to her and he confesses that it’s because she lied about being his aunt. Tyred tries to explain, but Devon is not trying to hear it.

Jana and Kevin flirt at CL, and Det. Chocolate Rain walks in to talk trash about Kay getting Kev and Amber off (y’all nasty) from jail time. Chocolate Thunder leaves a bunch of emails and letters from GC citizens saying how they can’t believe Hambergler and Kevin got away with their crimes.

Jana can’t find Dan, and Kevin informs her that it’s the anniversary of Cassie’s death, so he’s more than likely somewhere watching Beaches, and sobbing openly.

Shick are at the cemetery where Sharin’s informing The Scarecrow (If He Only Had A Brain) that she’s up the duff, and of course Phyllis is right off to the side listening in. He finally gets it together that all those symptoms Sharin had were morning sickness. Scarecrow wonders if the baby is his, and we have dramatic silence. So deep.

Hambergler and Nina are talking about P3 and Cane and not having the baby switch in the movie. Nina thinks it’s an important thing to have, and Hamber doesn’t want it in because it’ll hurt Kay. Hambergler is styled like a prosti-tot and she’s hurting my soul.

Liam and Jack discuss the fact that Mac has been seeing Raul, but Liam doesn’t want to hear or be reminded of anything that shows how much he’s not a free man anymore. Jack says how proud he is that Liam stepped up to be a husband and a father to Kate and Delia, and Liam looks constipated.

He goes out to Kate and shoves a plate in her claws, and she makes some remark about training men while they’re young. They’re so in love, y’all!

Maul’s talking in the living room discussing why Mac never told Liam what was up with them. Raul tells her that he thinks about them boning in a tent all the time after being do-gooders. The two tongue each other down once more.

At the GCAC, Jana’s talking to Daniel who is beating himself up over what events took place after Cassie’s death. Jana tells him that while he’s blaming himself, he should think about all the other things that wouldn’t have happened. She finally convinces him to go to Kay’s Super Awesome Pool Party, and they leave.

Back at the cemetary, Sharin’s explaining to the Scarecrow (and Phyllis) why she kept her mouth shut. Sharin says that she didn’t want to disrupt his life with Phyllis and he’s like “Phyllis who?” He is obviously ready to pack up Phyll’s stuff and drop her ass off at the nearest soup kitchen if Sharin gives him the word.

Back at the Maul, Mac’s saying how it feels like everyone from the Glow by Jabot house has gotten married and had a kid, so she’s not feeling right. But what of Rianna? What of Brittany!!! She doesn’t feel like she has anything in GC that’s just her own. Raul says that she has him, and they smile at each other and are adorable! I’m so surprised by how quickly I like these two. Liam comes walking down the stairs and Mac calls him into the living room. They didn’t mean to keep their relationship a secret but they didn’t want to hurt him. It caught the two of them off guard and when they separated, they weren’t sure about where they stood as a couple. Liam asks where they stand now, and they adorably link hands while Liam tears up and is all “Whatever, that’s cool.”

Kevin grabs Hambergler, who I think has gotten the wardrobe department over their Mac hate and are now directing it toward her because WHAT IN THE HELL is that swimsuit? He tells her about all the hate mail they have and she’s all wtf? Hamber tries to talk Kevin down. It’s not his fault he turned into a crazy and went on a crime spree in a chipmunk uniform. Nothing like a little enabling to get this party started!

Kate walks over to Jack, she wants the scoop on Raul. He gives her the basics and then his phone rings.

It’s Phyllis and she’s pretty distraught. She begs him to come over because it’s an emergency, and then we flip back to Shick. The Scarecrow wants to be there for the next ultrasound but Sharin turns him down. They don’t even know if the baby is his, but Scarecrow is certain that it is because of Cassie’s deathbed prediction that they would have another daughter. Sharin can’t buy that because it would mean that they’re destined to get back together. Listen, lady, if I want to hear about fate and destiny, I’ll go find Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald.

Raul explains to Liam that he didn’t want to hurt him by being with Mac, but he figures that Liam’s moved on. Oh, Raul, bless your heart. He says he wants to marry Mac, and Liam constipated-ly gives his blessing.

Over at Restless Loft, Jack’s walking in all “This better be good, Esther made those awesome mini cupcakes and if they’re all gone when I get back I’m gonna be pissed.” Big Red must’ve been watching some Chappelle’s Show earlier, because she gets her What Did The Five Fingers Say To The Face on. Jack gives her this awesome look that implies that in this moment he is totally willing to forget that she’s a woman and dropkick her ass across the room.

Phyll screams that he’s a liar and that she knows Sharin is pregs. They could both lose the people they love over this and it could all be for nothing if Billy’s the father. Oops! Jackie had no idea of this, and looks horrified.

Neil and Tyred are arriving at the SAPP and Kay calls Neil her number one man. Murphy’s all, what about me? And Kay gives the most awesome derisive, dismissive laugh I have ever seen on daytime between two people who are supposed to be so enamored of each other.

Esther almost botches her one line of dialogue and takes Tyred over to where she can change into her swimsuit. Nina comes over to Neil and they play catch-up. I appreciate that there are all these scenes with Nina meeting up with people from her past, yet I can’t help but wonder why if showing those past connections are so important, why haven’t Billy or Mac had a proper scene with JT? MAB, please free Jeffrey Todd from the broom closet!

Sharin and Billy talk, and I’m only even talking about it because of this awesome face Billy makes:

Back at RS, Phyll is trying to backpedal like a mofo, but Jack’s not having it. He wants to know how long it’s been going on.

He’s devastated that not only does Sharin know that Phyllis knows about her and Billy, but Sharin admitted it to her. Jack rightly throws her previous words about the two of them having to deal with the pregnancy back in her face.

Sharin interrupts Dan and Hamber at the SAPP and asks if they can talk in private.

Apparently she’s been trying to find him and talk to him and wonders if he’s avoiding her. He admits that he was so it wouldn’t be too hard on her. Sharin says that everyone does stupid things every now and then, but we don’t expect anyone to die. Dan’s still beating himself up and Sharin reminds him that no one forced Cassie to drive Dan’s car that night, and tells him that he needs to start forgiving himself.

Murphy starts to make a speech, and Kay is like “WHOA, homie, we never discussed you speaking in public.”

Murphy pours a little something out for the homies that ain’t here, and Sharin abruptly leaves while Esther awesomely makes this awesome face.

Back at the Abbott shack, Kate’s trying to get Liam to talk about how he really feels about Maul. She pushes him to cheer up, reminding him that he still has her. And Jesus wept.

The SAPP is over, the kids leave, and Kay tells Nina that if she feels that having the baby switch in the screenplay is important, then do it. Esther tells Kate that she’s sad they had to leave early, and Liam is literally just standing there playing with a curtain cord. WOW.

The spawn starts crying, and Kate asks why he didn’t come over and, you know, try to comfort the crying child and Liam’s all WHAT’S WITH THE THIRD DEGREE, WOMAN??? I have a stroke for a moment and agree with Kate that his attitude is getting old, but then she has to ruin it by saying that she’s the only good thing he’s got left. Liam’s basically like LOL and leaves the room.

RAUL PROPOSES!!!!!!!

Back at the magazine, The Scarecrow tells Phyll that he wasn’t alone at the cemetary–he was with Noah. Nick tries to find out what’s going on with Phyllis, who is totally unconvincing as she denies that there’s anything wrong.

Sharin tells Noah about the baby, and this is literally the first time I’ve seen NuNoah in a scene. He seems really sweet as he starts talking about getting a crib and getting the nursery together.

Jack’s at a mostly empty GCAC having flashbacks to the morning after of the first time Sharin and Billy had sex. His phone ringing snaps him out of his thoughts, and when he sees that it’s his little brother calling, he throws his phone against the wall. Now he can upgrade to a Blackberry!

Next time on Y&R, Lily asks Cane if he’s keeping secrets already, while Cane wonders how the hell she figured it out so fast.
