Chloe brought Delia by for Billy to see. He inquires as to how long she’s been smiling and Chloe tells him six weeks. He says he hopes he doesn’t miss her first word too and Chloe reminds him he won’t if he’s not sleeping with someone’s else wife that day. Ouch Chloe that hurts. But it was right on.
Mac is thinking back on her conversation with Katherine about just going for it letting her hair down and no regrets. So she lets her hair down and unbuttons a button on her blouse and heads out. Honestly this did not help her at all I think nothing ever will. She has zero chemistry.
Jeff tries to recruit Mary Jane to be his P/R person and Mary Jane tells him she deal strictly with upscale clientele and she tells him he doesn’t fit the kind of work she does. Jeff thinks if he keeps stalking Mary Jane he will be able to afford anything but of course he doesn’t say that out loud.
Sharon is collecting her things again to move out of Jack’s. She thinks back on the night she moved back in and the popcorn throwing and lousy movie and how that ended up. She almost looks sad. Jack comes home and sees her things stacked by the entry way and throws his briefcase and comes into the living room and just looks around. Jack ends up telling Sharon she doesn’t have to leave and Sharon says she’s put him through a lot and this is goodbye and Jack says he’d do it all again.
Michael is at Phyllis’ house and he’s talking to her about Kevin situation and how he’s better and he realizes that she’s not with him. He makes a couple of funny comments that normally would have set her off but it didn’t this time so he calls her name and she apologizes. She says she just can’t give up on her marriage. Michael is concerned about her and he offers to cancel date night and says he can call Lauren and she can have a bottle of wine there in a few minutes. Phyllis says no to keep his marriage together but thanks. She will be fine.
Chloe tells Delia she’ll have a half brother or sister soon. What no witty come back she asks Billy. I’ve driven you and Delia away and Sharon is moving out on Jack, how witty could I possibly be he responds. He starts to go further on the pity pot about how Jack is treating him when Chloe reminds him about sleeping with his sister-in-law on their wedding day. You think it’s bad now waiting until she had the baby. Mac appears about this time and wants to know what is with Sharon and is the baby OK? Billy wants to know if she’s been there all night. Chloe wants to know if Billy wants to tell Chloe the news or should she. Billy looks like he might pass out.
Sharon looks at Cassie’s picture and puts it in the box. She picks up the box and Jack says you shouldn’t be doing that and takes it from her. Oh you are still looking out for me. (Sharon you are a mindless, clueless, selfish woman and how dare you say that to Jack). But Jack says he always will. But of course Nick will have something to say about that now. Then he apologizes to her for having said that. Sharon goes on to tell Jack she was thinking about the night she moved back in and the popcorn and the movie and the sex probably. Jack remembers with her. Jack asks her one last time to please stay. I will give you time, love, distance and a home with no strings he tells her. The Sharon tells him Nick is her life now. She can’t remember her life before Nick. She tells Jack she is going to miss him. And they hug.
Nick shows up at Phyllis’ house and Michael asks him what he’s doing there and tells him he has the audacity to show his face. Nick tells Michael this is none of his business. Michael says none of my business and Phyllis calls Michael off and says I’m OK. Then she tells Michael she loves him. Nick and Michael give each other dirty looks. I really don’t know why Nick is all puffed up. Michael’s right he’s a total jerk. Nick immediately asks about Super Girl and what she’s told her. Phyllis says she’s sleeping and she told her that Daddy loved his other family more than he did our family. This makes Nick angry. Nick starts and Phyllis tells him the sitter will be here tomorrow and what do you want? Nick has decided that Phyllis should file for divorce since all of this is his fault. (That’s big of you Nick). Michael can take care of it he tells her. I won’t fight you on anything he continues. You can have anything you want. (How about you Nick that is what she really wants you lame brain). All these years together Phyllis says and the magazine and in 48 hours you are throwing words like divorce and settlement in my face? I just want to be fair says Nick. (Well how noble of you Nick you are just a real noble guy). Phyllis tells him it’s too late for that and if you want a divorce then you will have to file the papers.
Nick says you may think this is easy for me but it’s not. I see the pain you are in and I want to take you in my arms and tell you how sorry I am and that you are not alone. (Does this sound slightly to familiar to anyone besides me? Isn’t this what he does with Sharon). Why says Phyllis do I seem weak to you Nick? I know how weak women turn you on she adds. Nick says look we have 2 choices here. We can be stubborn and vindictive or we can do what’s right for our kids. Noah and Summer and….No, No says Phyllis. Don’ t mention Sharon’s kid in the same breath as Noah and Summer. The local butcher could be that kid’s Father she says. Oh and I’m not filing squat by the way so you can have another shotgun marriage. You say you are in pain and you feel bad, good you should. I’m glad Phyllis adds. Nick’s phone rings about this time. Wonder who that can be says Phyllis snidely. Get out of here. Just go. They have a big old stare down. Summer comes down the stairs and says Daddy as Nick has just left. No it’s not Daddy says Phyllis and she kisses her. It was just the TV.
Mac says this is clearly between you two she tells Chloe and Billy. Fine I’ll tell her says Chloe. Sharon and Jack split up. Really says Mac. Yes says Billy talking a mile a minute it’s been crazy at the house. Yes that’s why I brought Delia over so she knows that no matter what is going on between us he’s still her Daddy. Mac is leaving and is asked if she’s off to the bar. She says yes but just to close. Give Cane our loves says Chloe after her. That was evil says Billy. Chill out says Chloe I’m not going to tell her about you and Sharon. Billy kisses her on the side of the face in relief. Chloe tells him they can stay and they can talk. She says she’s the new Chloe 2.0 with no tricks up her sleeves. Billy leaves and Chloe looks really hurt and says like hell I don’t.
Sharon is on the phone and says I love you too. Jack comes up behind her and says is Nick on his way? He’s here actually says Sharon he’s out front. Sharon says she’ll wait out front and Jack says she doesn’t’ have to go outside. Then he hears a car and says it sounds like your ride is here. Jack leaves and Sharon opens the door for Nick and asks how it went with Phyllis. Don’t ask says Nick. Sharon says Nick what are we doing. A few days ago this all felt right but now. I know it’s not the way we envisioned it says Nick, but that doesn’t mean it’s not right. Lots of people are going to be hurt he tells Sharon, just don’t forget how much I love you and our baby. Now Jack is listening to this. It’s not going to be that long before the paternity test proves the baby is mine and if for some reason it’s not we will get a lawyer. Jack raises his eyebrows on that one let me tell you. We are going to get through this and do it together. Jack appears about that time and Sharon and Nick are hugging and she turns as she senses Jack’s presence. Jack she says….Hello Nick says Jack. I thought I heard the door close. Don’t worry I’m not going to make a scene says Jack. It doesn’t serve either of us does it Nick? We should go says Sharon, go ahead says tough guy Nick the car is open. I’ll be out in a sec he tells Sharon who looks very upset as this plays out. Look Jack says Nick…You don’t have anything to say that I want to hear right now interrupts Jack. Nick doesn’t answer and acts like he will leave it at that and go and Jack says Nicholas….Take care of her. Jack is doing all he can to restrain himself at this moment and Nick realizes this and says nothing and leaves. Jack whips out his cell phone and calls somebody and tells them I need to see you…..
Phyllis and Summer are drawing and Phyllis says she knows that Daddy does that better than her. Phyllis says Summer remember when you got that Ouwee last week and I kissed it and made it better? She says Yes. Phyllis tells Summer and Mommy and Daddy has an Ouwee and that Mommy can’t kiss it and make it all better. So Daddy is going to live some where else. Yeah says Summer like she already knew this was coming. But Phyllis tells her it will be fine and fun Daddy will come and see her and buy her ice cream and toys and he’ll see you a lot. Daddy loves you a lot.
Noah says bye to Eden and Lauren walks in. He says a brief hello and Lauren wonders what’s up. Eden says his klepto Mom is bad enough but his other parents are just as bad. Eden says she doesn’t know why Sharon had summoned Noah to her room and explains she’s living back the hotel again, but she’s hoping she don’t do or say anything that’s going to make things worse for Noah. After all she says Sharon and Jack have a baby on the way.
Jack knocks on Mary Jane’s door and she opens it up and asks what took him so long. Evidently this is who Jack called once Sharon left him for Nick. And her I was thinking it might be Phyllis for a shoulder to cry on. They kiss like crazy in the hallway doorway and Jeffrey Bardwell is taking it all in. If you think he looked excited when he saw Paul Williams on her doorstep you really need to see this one.
Mac tries to be cool trying to toss alcohol bottles up and trying to catch them like Tom Cruise only she was a complete failure. Billy comes in and says he wants to call a time out. His house is war zone. Ashley is barely having anything to do with anyone and who knows where I stand with Chloe. You and I can talk about something, anything the weather as long as it’s not about a relationship. Mac says Ok what can I get you and Billy says a soda. Mac says this is the new Billy the old Billy and Billy just cuts her off since they aren’t supposed to talk about that.
Chloe goes into Mac’s room and looks at her clothes and says they are boring. There is a box on the shelf that says High School Memories. Chloe takes it down and opens it and sure enough there is Mac’s prom queen crown which Chloe seems to expect. The she finds the scrapbook which both Billy and Mac have written in. They speak about their love and getting married someday and having a family. Mac says you want all that and he says when he met her he did even though he never thought he did until he met her.
Jeffrey tells Gloria about having seen another person in Mary Jane’s room. He says guess who had their tongue down Mary Jane Benson’s throat. Who says Gloria. He tells her hint, it rhymes with Black Rabbit. Wow Jack Abbot. Old Glo is thrilled with this news. My goodness how many men is that woman sleeping with asks Gloria. Jeff thinks Mary Jane is a high class hooker after their earlier conversation about high class clientele and he says I heard her tell a client she was available 24.7. Mary Jane Benson is nothing but a high class hooker says Jeffrey. How wrong can you be Jeff?
Mary Jane wants Jack to stay but he says he has business to tend to. Mary Jane questions at this time of night. Her mind flashes to Jack with Phyllis and her watching them move love on the couch as she stands outside Phyllis’ house in the rain. Look says Jack he will see her back at the office. After Jack leave Mary Jane calls someone and says she’s Cassie with RS and they have the garden booked for in the morning for a photo shoot but they’ve decided to go in a different direction so sorry but RS has to cancel. Then she calls someone else and says she’s Kathy from Mountain View Inn and talks about a photo shoot and says they are doubled booked and they can’t accommodate RS tomorrow and says sorry again. She does all of this in a southern accent. Brother this woman is trouble, end to end. I hope she takes her hatred out on Victor who brought her here and not other innocent people.
Noah arrives at the room and Sharon greets him. He starts to talk to Sharon about her being back in her room and then Nick steps out. Sharon is all smiles and says her and his Father are going to try a reconciliation. Since when says Noah and what about Jack and the baby? We are going to raise it together says Nick. Your not even the Father says Noah, well we don’t know that for sure says Sharon. You are joking right says Noah? I know it comes as a shock says Sharon and you are probably confused she adds. No really says Noah you cheat on Jack and Dad cheats on Phyllis can’t anybody make up their minds who they want to be with says Noah? Well it’s not that simple says Sharon. This is unreal says Noah. Is your life that boring for you that you have to be doing this hopping from one house to another and one bed to the next. Whoa, Whoa says Nick. Watch your mouth son. Nick please says Sharon. Fine says Noah. No, No, No Nobody leaves until we talk as a family says Sharon. Oh Sharon what family, you have managed to destroy it single handedly.
Fine says Noah. I know we haven’t been the best role models these past few months says Sharon. We know that but this is truly what we want and it’s permanent. We intend to earn your trust back says Sharon. Nick says yes but you have to meet us half way. (What Nick you moron? Why what did the kid do? You guys play musical beds and he has to meet you halfway? No way he needs to disown all of you). When I was a kid it was all I ever wanted says Noah. I wanted so badly for you two to be together. It’s all I ever wantsd. And you won’t want to believe it adds Sharon I know I couldn’t believe it myself she coos like a teenager. Well says Noah I guess this means you’ll be getting married again . Ummmm says Sharon as she looks to Nick to answer that one. Do what you want says Noah as he sees they haven’t considered that yet, but don’t expect me to throw high 5’s he adds. I’m going to Grandpa’s. Wait, Noah hold on a minute says Sharon. I shouldn’t have lost my temper says Nick to Sharon, but he’s a kid he can’t speak to us like that. (Oh yeah, well he just did and you deserved it Nick and how dare you demand respect when you show Noah little or no respect). What did we expect says Sharon? We knew what our decision would do to Phyllis and Jack but now Michael is upset with you and Noah is upset. How many more people will be upset by this. How much more can we take says Sharon? (What, how much more can you take? You two have just destroyed so many lives including your own, you just don’t’ know it yet and you dare question how much more you can take? Give me a big old break Sharon you airhead).
Chloe continues to read the scrapbook and hear Billy and Mac’s words all those years ago. But it does hurt her since she knows Billy still has it bad for Mac. He tells Mac he’d never have his wife live in the pool house he’d buy her their own place. And where is Billy’s wife living now? In the pool house. With his baby this has to hurt bad.
Mac still can’t get the bar trick down flipping the bottles. Mac tells him she wants to sing karoke loudly and off key and be impulsive and so Billy tells her she should and now he’s going to teach her that bar trick. She comes around the bar and he gets behind her and they are close and Mac says she really should get to the business of closing the bar. Billy helps Mac close up. Mac asks him what he’s going to do? He said he’s going to go back and hold on to his dreams. It’s too easy to let go when you have them ripped from you he adds. Just as he’s leaving the juke box begins to play their song to which he says he didn’t touch it. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something says Mac. What like it’s your turn to sing says Billy? Then they start kissing.
Chloe is still reading and as Mac and Billy start to kiss and make love she read it’s you Mac. It’s always going to be you Mac. Billy talks about Jack’s wedding as Chloe reads it I know they say you should never end up with the person you went to high school with and loved. After Jack’s wedding Chloe reads Billy says I’m never as happy with anyone else as I am with you Mac. The baby cries and Chloe says she’s coming baby….She picks the stuff up off the bed and put it back into the box and put the box back on the shelf and closes the closet doors. (I hope she didn’t miss anything, the bed was wrinkled up).
Noah is destroyed by the news his Mother just gave him. He tells Eden he’s made up his Mind. He’s going to have Raul do emancipation papers on him and he’s moving away form his parents and his grandpa. He’s going to sell his car and get his own place and then they can be together whenever they want. Then he wont’ have to deal with his parent or tip-toe around Ashley and she can hang out with having Abby give her a hard time. All I have to do is sign the papers and I can have a normal life. Poor Noah, if only life was this simple but his parents drove him to such ridiculous thinking. I hope Nick and Sharon are really proud of what they have done to Noah. I wonder if he really has ever got over Cassie’s death and while Nick and Sharon are so busy with each other I wonder if they ever once considered Noah in all of this. He must feel like a man without a country.
Sharon (who looked very pregnant today) and Nick are lying on the couch looking at lakeside property. Wow you are really not wasting anytime on this says Sharon. I don’t want to wait any longer says Nick. What is it says Nick. I never put it up at Jack’s says Sharon, it never seemed right. It’s Cassie’s picture she drew. (You know these two are really starting to annoy me over Cassie and yes they are grieving parents but it seems to be worse when it convenient for these two and their wants and needs). Anyway Nick says it will be the first thing they hang on the wall at the new place. Then right on time the baby kicks. Nick says he thinks that he or she approves of the new house. Sharon says I think she. We are going to have our lives back together again I promise says Nick to Sharon. Then he has a flashback to Cassie.
Phyllis and Summer are playing dress up with a mop head when Mary Jane knocks on the door. Oh Summer is still up she says? Yes we’ve had a long hard day says Phyllis. She said she got a call from Mountain View and they canceled the shoot. Then when I called them they said we canceled. No says Phyllis someone has their wires crossed. I told them that says Mary Jane but they wouldn’t listen. Oh my Gosh says Phyllis you have got to be kidding me. I have to go the office and fix this but I can’t bring Summer this time of night and I can’t call Nick. (I sure would and I know Sharon would). I could watch her offers Mary Jane. Oh that’s too strange she says quickly. I’d never let my daughter stay with a stranger. Your not a stranger Phyllis finally says come in, you are a friend. I’ll take care of this. She tells Summer what she is doing and that Mary Jane is staying with her and Summer seems OK with it. So Mary Jane asks her if she’s playing dress up and wants to know if she wants her to play with her. There is a knock at the door and Mary Jane opens the door to find Jack standing there. What are you doing here asks Jack?
NEXT ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS:
Mac are you in there? It’s Raul says Mac who has just been making love with Billy on the floor of Jimmy’s Tavern. (Well it looks like that anyway) Billy looks like they are busted for sure.
Jack tells Phyllis this is not his first romantic disaster but maybe my biggest was when I drove a perfectly innocent woman to attempted murder. Phyllis just looks at him.
Mary Jane says to Victor, What about Jack and me. What will happen after this is done?
