Y&R Recap. Thursday, July 30th 2009

Red has Summer pretty well trained. Every time Niclueless is around, Summer’s working her little butt off to make him realize what a good thing he’s got going with her and Red. This time, Summer’s using the wedding DVD to reel him in and it’s working like a charm.

Watching the DVD puts Niclueless in a marrying mood so he drops down on bended knee and proposes to Red again. Instead of punching him in the face, Red giggles her agreement and I look on aghast because…Wtf is wrong with these people? Nick changes his mind for the tenth time about a marriage he’s in and Red happily goes along with it? Have all the women in GC gotten a lobotomy?

Let’s move on to the other pairing in this sad, sad quad. Jack is keeping a close eye on his dear love Sharin (read: stalking her). Unfortunately for him, Sharin discovers his stalking ways and calls him out on it. He tells her that he’s keeping a close eye on her because he thinks MJ’s coming after her but Sharin is strangely blasé about it. She is so unimpressed by the threat that not only does she tell Jack to ship out of the GCAC but she also hits him with a “the baby isn’t yours” parting gift.

Burn.

Over at the ranch, Boretoria is whipped. What daddy wants, daddy gets even if it means alienating her husband. I’m not complaining. JT just got his balls back and I kind of like it.

They discuss the CC situation and Ash overhears the conversation and the real reason CC’s no longer on the board (re: Flashgate).

Ash tells the ’Stach that she doesn’t like the situation but Victor gets the last word and talks her into accepting the board seat.

P3 & P4 are boring me with their family problems. I can’t say that I care about this and I’m still trying to figure out why I should. P3’s gay so he bailed. Chance is resentful and distant. Moving on.

You know who else is dealing with family issues? Billy and Jill. Billy bursts into the Chancellor estate screeching, “Didn’t you get my message!” like someone’s crazy ex girlfriend. After demanding to know about the Jabot saga Jill finally tells Billy the truth: She never wanted him in charge and it was the ‘Stache that put her up to it. But it’s all good because, “It wasn’t personal.” It was just business.

Then Jill lists why Billy is a screw-up and why her fake son is awesome and it’s truly heart-warming, Hallmark worthy stuff and it’s shocking, just shocking, that Billy’s not eating it up. She’s all, “What do you want from me? Motherly love or something?” Billy tells her that he doesn’t want anything from her and peaces out.

Jill thinks she’s safe until P3 walks through the door and he’s not letting Jill off the hook either:

But since he’s most likely high – he is most of the time, right? – he forgives her for all those bad years long ago. Well, that was easy.

Meanwhile, a bitter Billy runs into Jimmy’s mad at the world. He barks at JT, gets dissed and then sinks onto a barstool to explain to Mac why his life sucks. He whines about Jill helping the ‘Stache to steal Jabot, conveniently forgetting that he did something similar to her. But more than anything he’s mad at Victor and wants to tell Ashley about the snake she married but Mac wants him to ease off. Once Mac steps away, however, Billy heads out…

…and finds himself facing off with Victor.

Next on Y&R: Another stupid plot line, Billy tells Ashley the truth about Victor and…
