On the last episode of Y&R, Billy and Chelsea went on their non-date and Jack romanced Diane.
Jack and Diane
At the Abbott manse, Jack invites Diane to bring a few of her belongings to his place so she doesn’t always have to race home to change her clothes.
She’s not sure that’d be what Kyle would want and he convinces her it’ll be fine.
They’ll be discrete. She’s nervous to tempt fate to be this happy.
DNA testing
Sally gets off a call with someone from the clinic who set up an appointment for paternity testing.
She seems nervous having to contact Adam next.
Chloe arrives and they discuss telling Adam the news.
They yammer about it at length. What if Nick’s not the baby daddy?
Chloe says not to entertain that thought.
Sally asks how she’s supposed to tell Adam about this and Chloe advises to wait until she gets word on whether or not the kid is his.
Nick appears and Chloe takes off. Sally tells her boyfriend she’s scheduled a paternity test today.
She asks if he thinks she should tell Adam before the test. Nick say it’s up to her but he hopes his brother doesn’t have to know.
Sally invites him to go with her today to get swabbed. He’ll make time for it.
Afternoon delight
At home, Nate daydreams of making out with Victoria.
When Elena arrives, he takes her to bed. Later, they return dressed and relaxed.
He says he’s late. They agree to get together for more snuggling later.
Tessa turns up and Elena asks what’s going on. She can sense something’s up.
Tessa admits Delphine had Braxton Hicks. She wasn’t really in labor.
Elena hopes they can be there when she really does go into labor.
Tessa confesses it freaked her out.
Something could go wrong during the birth. She asks Elena what she can do to ensure the baby will be okay.
Elena says every new mother feels like this. There’s nothing that can be done but be ready for the birth and motherhood.
Elena can see something else is going on.
Tessa admits she’s insecure about being so unprepared for childbirth and motherhood.
Elena thinks the fact that she came to her for help means she’s going to be a terrific mother as will Mariah.
Tessa thanks her friend for her faith in her. Talk turns to Elena’s happiness.
Elena says she wasn’t sure she and Nate would find their way back to each other but there they are. Both happy.
Vicky’s office
In Victoria’s office, she and Nick discuss business and again, she can see he has something on his mind.
He does but shuts her out.
She guesses it’s got to do with Sally and thinks because he’s keeping it to himself, maybe that’s a red flag.
He tells her Sally’s off limits.
Victor taunts Jackie Boy
At the ranch, Victor taunts Jack, wondering if he should hide the silverware or jewelry.
Jack doesn’t have time for games. He doesn’t like how he’s sabotaged his son for his underhanded plot.
Victor says he’s doing a good job undermining himself.
He doesn’t get how Jack can let him perform at a subpar level.
Jack can see he has insider information. Victor ignores him and brings up Diane. He teases that he loves watching his relationship with Diane go up in flames.
Michael interrupts. Jack tells Victor to stay out of his business and make peace that he kicked Adam out of his life.
He leaves and Michael says Tucker’s company is in a lot of debt.
Acquiring his debt won’t give The Mustache full control. Victor loves a challenge and looks forward to this.
