Sitting here in my fogged up haze of tylenol and courtesy of time-shifting, Y&R is on in a couple of minutes from St. John's, Newfoundland. I'll type up the interesting stuff. BRB after this dose of tylenol extra-strength....
JT asks Kay and Jill if they really want to go through with investigating what happened to Jill's baby. He doesn't have much to go on. Jill's not impressed with Kay's motivation (it's HER grandson). Kay has a vague memory of meeting Violete in a bar, but that's it.
Ashley's leaving for HK, and Jack wonders what changed her mind. (Victor, of course asked her to do it as a favour to him.)
Victoria and Victor decide they have to find the damn Grugon reliquary or more people will die.
Gloria barges into Jill and Kay's conversation babbling on about the Extreme Runway crap, what should they wear, etc.
Brad warns Victor that nosing around in the reliquary business could be dangerous. Victor says the people looking for it endangered his family and they need to be eliminated. And that is his plan.
Colleen looks dreamily at the sketch Korbel did of her as JT pops in for a sec. She makes all nicey with him, and he's oblivious, but she's still thinking about her professor.
Victor has a plan! He'll go into the black market and pay any price for the Grugon....whatever, LOL. Danger, danger..... Brad ain't pleased.
Cute little scene with Abby and Jack. Oooooh!! Ashley is not taking her daughter with her to HK. Ashley is not happy about that at all, but Brad can take good care of her. She asks her brother how he can be so kind and loving with Abby, and such an SOB with everyone else.
Gloria senses something is up with Jill and Kay, and Kay assures her it's a private matter. Glo offers to help any way she can so Jill asks her to take care of all the Extreme Catwalk stuff. Gloria's happy to oblige.
Ashley and Jack finish up their goodbyes. She's laying an enormous guilt trip on him about having to lie to Victor! LOL, it's all about Victor with Ashley. She yells at him about self-respect and how he'll never get that back.
Colleen sends Korbel a message, and he replies.
Ashley again....gah! I'll be happy to see her leave. Gloria walks in on Jack and Ashley exchanging angry words and throws a little fuel on the fire. Jack has a moment of true regret as he sees his sister leave the room.
Brad tells Vicki he can't go through with this. He keeps seeing his sister's body, and this search could endanger his family again. Victor asks him if he's going to stay in hiding the rest of his life. Victor wants to eliminate the threat. Brad wants to discuss this with his mother and Colleen first. Victor tells him to get on with it, not waste his time.
Jack is trying to get rod of Gloria, but she gloats that she's taking care of all the Catwalk stuff. Jack doesn't believe her.
OMG, Ashley is visiting Victor to tell him she is going to HK. He tells her he'll miss her and they hug.
Just as Colleen and Korbel meet, Brad calls her and tells her to come to his house asap. Colleen asks Adrian if he meant for her to have the sketch.....um, no,,,,um,,,yes....this is difficult, he says. He then goes on to talk about his old school problem, power, etc. The girl who was having the affair with the professor ended up killing herself when the affair ended badly, and that's when he spoke up. This freaked out Colleen. She jumped up, handed him the sketch and left.
A tender scene between JT and Jill, and he promises to do whatever he can to find the boy, if he's out there. Good JW scene!
Jill has many questions for Kay about the baby switch, but Kay can't remember a thing. Jill angrily tells her that she should just bloody well go and not come back until she has some answers.
Jana sees Korbel's sketch of Colleen and she's so impressed. She noses around, and Korbel heads her off. She tells him that Kevin gave her a book (about a serial killer) who used to draw all his victims first, and he (Korbel) reminds her of the guy in the book. (She didn't tell Korbel about the serial killer bit.)
Jill cuts Jack off at the knees when he calls her to get her to dump Gloria from the Catwalk thing. Ashley's jaw drops when she hears Jill speak so harshly to Jack, LOL.
Rebecca says she's done hiding, and she won't do it any more! Victoria has a smug little smile and Colleen just sits there, blankly. Brad's not happy that his offer to go into the underground was dismissed.
Ashley offers to be Jill's eyes and ears while she's overseas, and Jill is thrilled. The two have a warm exchange.
Jana, now seated at Korbel's table, asks him if she ever told him she worked at the ????Gallery while she was in Italy, and no, she didn't he replies. She tells him she studied art in school, majored in art history. Sher says the plight of the artist has always intrigued her because there's such a fine line between madness and genius. He says many of the world's greatest artists suffered mental illness. She asks about Van Gogh, and wasn't it a broken heart that drove him to cut off his ear. Yes, Korbel, replies....he and Gaugin....it was a love that could never be. She agrees, that would be frustrating, eh? He says it can almost make one understand what could drive someone to such desperate measures. (I'm rewinding a lot here because I think this conversation might be pivotal.) But he tells her not to worry. He's not inclined to self-mutilation. She asks about passion. He says, " that's the thing, Jana. Passion can be deadly when it gets out of hand."
Vicki tells Rebecca that last summer she managed to get 2 pieces of the Grugon collection, and Rebecca asks for a description. Rebecca knows the pieces and believes that they will draw the right people out and into their trap.
Colleen's back at the loft and JT's there already. There's a bit of tension, and he sees it.
Gloria's letting Jack have it, saying not even his sister can seem to stand him. He gets to rattle around in this great big house all alone while she has 2 sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson, so excuse her, she has a family waiting for her.
Okay, now Brad wants Ashley to take Abby with her to China, so Ashley's all excited and rushes off to tell her daughter. Obviously, Brad wants Abby out of the way whist he and Victor go on their Indiana Jones adventure.
Brad tells Victor that his plan is a GO.
Next:
Jack tells Ashley that he's going to miss her. She says she hopes he'll take some time to think, and find a way some day to make this family proud again.
Dru tells Chow that he's had his fun, and can leave now. He says "not until you've paid for what you did to Carmen".
Victor, finger poised, pointing to the ceiling, tells Brad and Victoria that he doesn't want Nicholas to know any of this. Brad says he's right there with him.
