Y&R Recap. Monday, August 17th 2009

Lily wants to leave the nest again and live with her lying husband Fillip. Kneel and Devon don’t want her to go. If it’s because of the bag she’s using to pack her sh-t in, I can’t say that I blame them.
Lily is a seven year old girl.

Kneel is being rather overbearing as per usual but I see where he’s coming from. It’s a common situation. Someone you care about is dating a real dick. Time and time again you try to make her see the light because he’s hurt her before and you know he’ll hurt her again but she keeps taking him back. She’s so in it; she’s so wrapped up in this person that there’s really nothing that you can say to make her see it. She has to decide for herself. Neil is on shaky ground. The more he pushes, the more she’ll pull away.

This is Lily’s life and for all she knows this could be it for her. And at her age, she not only has to make her own decisions, she has a right to make those decisions. Neil is a worried father and from the little he knows about Ethan, I don’t blame him but this is Lily’s choice. Even if it leads to heartbreak perhaps that small pocket of happiness will be enough. Lily wants positive reinforcement right now and Neil finally relents and promises to be there for her no matter what.

That wrapped up, she and her douche’band head out and Tyred walks in in her crappy wig trying to apologize for hooking up with her pseudo-nephew. She says it’s time for her and Ana to go and I say, bon voyage! It’s an amicable parting for the most part which hopefully means she won’t be back but if she and Ana come back, Ana better be a 16 year old. The teen storyline needs some help.

Over at the house where the seventies died, Fillip is telling Lily about his “real life”. I wake up long enough to hear him say something about pretending to be a gay man in Australia and then fall back asleep only to tune in again to hear Lily thank him for finally “introducing her to the man she married.”
Keep aiming high, Lily. Keep aiming high.

Amber’s at Mikey and Lauren’s house trying to use their office because Danielle’s still hating on her. Mikey informs her that the charges against Danielle have not been dropped so she comes up with a plan to get close to Deacon. Mikey & Lauren are all, “Uh bad idea,” and Amber pretends to listen to their sound advice before she goes out to see Deacon.

Kevin’s having a good hair day on his anniversary date and so is Jana until she dons her anniversary present:
Did a Bad Wig Emporium open recently in GC? My God.

For the event Kevin decorated CL like the Ashram where they got married but it seriously looks like something Willy Wonka threw up. Kevin promises that it’ll be smooth sailings from here on in … Except there’s the whole chipmunk business and his affinity to Ryder – the guy who’s trying to destroy his best friend and well, the fact that he’s Kevin.

From wedded “bliss” to marital disharmony. JT & Boretoria are arguing over Victor again. JT informs her that he thinks the ‘Stache is behind bringing MJ to town but Boretoria, still straight up her daddy’s ass, accuses her boy of trying to turn her against her father. It’s straight up crazy talk but those pregnant lady hormones are a doozy. She storms out and heads over to the GCAC where she can drink with a more refined crowd.

Once she leaves, CC moves in for the kill. She claims to have a flat tire and since she needs a ride home, JT offers to be her chauffeur. The ‘Stache’s henchman, who’s been following JT around all night, is waiting outside CC’s house with a camera trying to catch JT doing something shady and well…

Meanwhile, Deacon’s making his own move at the GCAC telling Boretoria that he sold the painting and he needs her to see the paperwork. Upstairs. In his pants. Okay, so he doesn’t say that exactly but whatever, they makeout.Umm, MAB? Please explain how a couple goes from super boring marital togetherness to making out with other people in the span of a few days. I’ll wait.

And then…some other stuff happened but meh…
