Another wild week on The Young and the Restless. Did you miss any shows? If so, no problem. We have your Y&R Weekly Recap right here...

  • Katherine (still living her life as Marge) realized that she had a daughter, but could remember no details. Meanwhile, both Jill and Esther received the Christmas gifts Kay had ordered them before her "death".
  • Jill asked Billy to leave Jabot and work at Chancellor Industries with her and Cane. An irked Billy said no. After, Billy and Jill argued and Billy's feelings of resentment resurfaced. He told Jill that he loved her, but that he couldn't work for her.
  • Ana asked Tyra, Karen and Neil if she will be back with them in time for Christmas. The answer was no. Karen told her that she'd be back in time for Neil and Karen's New Year's Eve wedding. Tyra blasted Karen for giving Ana false hope.
  • Meanwhile, Neil reapplied to be foster father to Ana, but Rafe informed him since he and Karen are not married, it would be unlikely Ana would be released to him. Tyra suggested that Karen move out, but Karen had other plans...to move the wedding up.
  • Jana gave River Kevin's cash of stash to "save Kevin's karma". River decided to use the stash to go on the run once more, now that his past has been exposed. He hid the money in Eden's teddy bear, which Eden and Noah later found and hid.
  • Later, River returned looking for the money and found only paper inside the bear. Eden was devastated when she found out what her father was up to.
  • Jeffrey told Jack all about Gloria's tainted face cream plot. Jack ripped into Glo, then Ashley showed up and informed Gloria that Jabot would be suing her over the debacle. Jeffrey urged Gloria to sign divorce papers in order to protect their future Jabot fortune.
  • Katherine took her ring to a pawn shop where it fetched a cool $10,000. Kay gave the money to Murray for all that he had done for her.
  • Nikki found out that the joint assets she and Victor had together had been frozen due to his legal problems.
  • At Summer's birthday party, Nick and Phyllis attempted to deal with the tension in their marriage, which became even harder after Sharon showed up with Noah's gift for his little sister. While there, Nick informed Sharon that Phyllis had found out about their Parisian kiss.
  • Heather found out that Frank Ellis's confession of forging Victor's diary was true. Things got worse after she heard about Adam's part in the devious plan. She urged Adam to go on the run, but then had a change of heart and met him at the airport with a cop. Adam was arrested, and Heather stood by and watched her man continue to lie instead of coming clean.
  • Adam made bail and went to see Heather, who wanted nothing to do with him. Paul told his daughter that he had evidence against Adam and as she prepared to prosecute him, who should show up, but the bartender from Mexico!

Nothing like those wild and wacky weeks in Genoa City, is there. Can hardly wait to see what the Christmas week holds for us!
