Phyllis now home, Billy lays out their plans for tonight; dinner at a new Moroccan restaurant. They’ll hit the town to ‘fire it up a bit’ then come home for the after party. After the day she’s had, Phyllis can’t think of anything she’d rather do. But when Billy goes in to shower, her smile fades quickly.

After the young lady leaves, Cane tells Lily that he’s interviewing nannies. Getting a call, he agrees to set up a lunch meeting then returns his focus to Lily. When the phone rings again, Lily decides to get out of his way. Leaving Cane to take yet another congratulatory call, Lily leaves looking disappointed.

Over wine, JT updates Vikki on Mac and their kids. DJ’s in international school; the baby’s doing great. Becca will be walking soon. It was hard adjusting to Reed not being around. Vikki tells JT not to take it personally; she’s thrilled to have him here and everything’s going well. JT’s not so sure. Reed knows we’re waiting for him – why isn’t he here?

At CL’s, Hilary praises Nick for trying to save the park (from his Father) She then announces breaking news; the City Council just announced the winning bid for the park’s redevelopment.

Ready to ‘rock and roll’ beautiful? Billy’s surprised to find Phyllis fast asleep in bed.

Back at CL’s, Hilary tells Nick that Devon didn’t win the bid for the park. Newman didn’t win either. An anonymous bidder came in at the last minute. They wonder who it is and what they’ll do with the park. It can’t be good, Nick decides.



Looking lonely at her table for one at the club, Lily calls Cane (who puts her on speaker because he’s busy working) No, he can’t grab a bite; he has to go see Sam then attend a business dinner. How about another time? Sure, Lily covers her disappointment. Thanks for calling, Cane hangs up. Lily resumes her moping.

Vikki leaves yet another message for Reed; Your Dad’s here – when are you gonna be here? Not buying Vikki’s list of plausible explanations, JT wonders if his son doesn’t want to see him. Vikki remains optimistic that he’ll be home soon. More wine? As JT goes to get the bottle, Billy barges in with gift bags (since he had unexpected free time on his hands) JT – what the hell? Billy’s surprised. Great to see you too, JT replies.

There was no clip previewing tomorrow’s episode. I hope it’s not being replaced with the ‘previously on Y&R’ clip we got today.

My Thoughts: I’ve replayed it about 10 times but still can’t figure out if Nick said Cane’s the one to watch in 2018 or 2019. It sure sounded like 2019…. OK, any excitement I had over JT’s return has evaporated. He was boring then and he’s boring now …. Won’t Phyllis be happy to wake up to discover that Billy left her in bed and made a beeline over to Vikki’s …. Considering this big ‘scandal’ involving the Newman’s, there’s a remarkable lack of reporters showing any interest … Oh poor Lily; so alone, bored and unable to enjoy her own company. Get a hobby. Create a profile on a dating website, work out, make some friends, volunteer somewhere (’tis the season)
