A lot can happen in a day in Genoa City, so it’s easy to get lost. If you’ve missed anything that happened over the last week or so on the soap, our THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS recaps can help you get back up to speed in no time!

After Traci reconstructed the documents that revealed Ashley owned her Jabot creations, the chemist decided to move to Paris — to start a new line called My Beauty with her patents! Not surprisingly, Jack and Kyle were outraged, but Abby supported her mom’s decision. Still, she declined Ashley’s invitation to move with her. Before she ew away, Jack chased after his sister, offering a sincere apology for what he’d done. Ashley accepted but refused to give up her plans — or her patents! At Jabot, Billy and Jack vied for the CEO position. They were shocked when Phyllis threw her hat in the ring as well, but they were even more stunned when — after she recruited chemist Kerry Johnson — she got the job! Phyllis’ first order of business was hiring Lauren as her COO, even as Billy and Kyle formed an alliance to topple her! Initially, Kyle rejected Phyllis’ orders, but he soon became craftier to undermine his new boss and tried to win Kerry over to his side. She, in turn, accused Jack of using his son to sabotage Jabot but apologized when she realized he was clueless. Their meeting revealed one thing, though — an attraction to each other!

Phyllis and Nick Hooked up Again!

Meanwhile, Mariah and Tessa got matching tattoos to symbolize their commitment, and the redhead even laid the L word on her girlfriend! Across town, Nick used the kids to get closer to Sharon. Recognizing what he was doing, Sharon told him to back off! Later, Phyllis and Nick comforted each other… in bed! Not surprisingly, Jack, Billy and Sharon were upset when they heard about the tryst.
