Today’s Recap of The Young and the Restless December 10, 2009

 

 

As Katherine and Murphy enjoy a game of gin, she confides to him she is unsure of her recent decision to take Chancellor Industries public. She tells him she is paving the way to leave and admits she is doing this for Jill. Katherine is uncertain whether to allow a powerful man like Tucker McCall to invest in Chancellor. Jill calls and asks about the IPO. Katherine tells her of her concerns and Jill tells Katherine they will know more after their meeting with Mr. McCall tomorrow.

 

In the meantime, while Jill is in New York, she meets an intriguing bartender. After he serves Jill her morning coffee, he joins her. He introduces himself as Mick and begins to flirt with her. Jill thinks he looks familiar, but can’t place him. After Jill speaks with Katherine on the phone, Mick asks about her conversation. When she starts talking business she thinks she is boring him, he tells her he can see she is passionate about her work. Paul calls Jill and tells her he has a lead on Katherine’s daughter. Later Jill leaves Mick a tip with her name and number on it.

 

Heather arrives at Restless Style and asks Billy who his source was that leaked Victoria’s confidential testimony to the Grand Jury. Billy is not forthcoming.

 

Phyllis meets Paul at the Athletic Club where he shows her the surveillance photos from the night of the shooting. They show a man in black wearing a black ski mask and carrying a gym bag, exactly as Daniel described in his testimony. Phyllis is certain the police should reopen the investigation but Paul is not so sure. As Paul is leaving Murphy enters and Paul tells him Jill hired him to find Katherine’s long lost daughter. He asks Murphy for his discretion. Murphy agrees but suggests to Paul there may be ramifications in finding her.

 

At the prison, Deacon meets with another inmate. As he is leaving he runs into Amber. She tells him when they find the proof of Daniel’s innocence he will be behind bars. He leaves as Daniel enters to see his wife.

 

As JT is preparing for a meeting, Victoria asks to talk. He is overloaded and asks his wife to postpone their discussion until the weekend. As he is leaving she asks him about the position Nick offered her in Dubai. He asks her again if they can discuss it later. Billy arrives with flowers and apologizes to Victoria for the article. When Victoria realizes Billy came to get her side of the story, she leaves. JT tells Billy to back off of Victoria and tells him he is not a journalist, he’s an opportunist. Billy reminds JT he is just a security guard.

 

Later Victoria arrives at Katherine’s and tells her she is interested in the IPO. Katherine tells Victoria she is aware she is going through a difficult time and suggests she confide in her. Victoria tells her she does not know how to fix her marriage. Katherine suggests to her JT is probably not ready to trust her yet. She encourages her to find something to make her own life better. When Victoria tells Katherine she needs to go back to work, Katherine offers her a job. She thanks Katherine and tells her wherever she works, it will not change things between her and JT.

 

At Crimson Lights Phyllis shows the surveillance photos to Amber and both think they have what they need to help Daniel. When Phyllis shows the photos to Heather, she tells her they are useless. Heather insists she has a solid case against Daniel and is not willing to reopen the investigation. Phyllis tells her she will prove her wrong. Victoria arrives and asks the DA what he is going to do about Billy Abbott’s publication of her sealed testimony. In the meantime, Deacon overhears the conversation between Phyllis and Amber and makes a call stating it’s time to deliver the message.

 

Later Amber returns to the prison and tells Daniel about the photos. The same inmate Deacon met with earlier seems to be stalking Daniel.

 

Back at the Athletic Club Paul meets with JT. Paul feels JT’s new job suits him well. When asked about his marriage, JT tells Paul he and Victoria may be taking a break. He tells Paul he has forgiven Victoria for her indiscretion. Paul assures JT it is not easy to completely let it go. JT thinks Paul is right. Later Victoria meets JT and both seem to have let their guard down. When JT tries to approach Billy, he and Victoria witness Billy being served with a summons to reveal his source.
