The Young and the Restless Recap For Wednesday, May 9, 2018, reveals that over at the theatre, Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams) asks why the film stopped – it was just getting good.

Charlie Denies Putting The Last Clip-In

Jack Abbott (Peter Bregman) demands to see the last 10 seconds again. Onscreen, Dina repeats, “Jack is not John’s son” Later, alone, the Ashby’s applaud Charlie Ashby’s (Noah Alexander) effort, but he’s upset and explains that he didn’t put the last clip of Ms. Mergeron in there.

Jack Feels Someone Wants To Hurt Him

At the Club bar, Jack Abbott orders a double as Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) assures his brother someone made a mistake. Jack Abbott rants that it might be true and notes it wasn’t in the preview he saw it was clearly a message from someone who went to a lot of trouble to hurt him. Billy tells Jack he’ll always be the son John was proud of, and assures him they’ll always be Abbott brothers, it doesn’t matter what DNA says. Jack recalls giving Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) that speech but argues that if what Dina said is true, it changes everything.

Victor Gloats

Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) appears and tells Jack he is really sorry for what happened tonight and what a shame it was to have been ruined at the end. Jack tells him he is sure he loved every minute and Billy steps between them and tells Jack they are going home.

Ashley and Abby Puzzled

At the Abbott mansion, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland), Ashley Abbott, and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) arrive with Dina Mergeron, who still can’t understand why the screening stopped. Traci takes her upstairs. Abby and Ashley puzzle over how this happened. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) arrives and reports Jack wouldn’t come with him. Abby and Ashley continue to fret about Jack, and Abby assures Kyle that Dina knew what she was saying. Kyle notes that it means he’s not an Abbott either and snarks about their lack of concern about him. Abby knows how he feels, but thinks it’s different for Jack. Ashley knows what Jack lost today. Kyle argues all the moments with John didn’t get erased.

Ashley and Abby Warn Kyle About Victor

Abby scolds Kyle for acting like it’s a competition of who’s more hurt. Kyle smirks about being an outsider from the loving family. Abby wonders if he thinks Jack deserved this. Kyle keeps on about his father never noticing him and talk turns to Victor taking him under his wing. Ashley and Abby warn that Victor may be using him and will expect a return on his investment. Kyle complains about Jack’s treatment of Ashley, and Traci appears to chastise them – Abbotts stick together.

Abby Blames Herself

Billy Abbott makes it there with Jack Abbott, who tells the others he needs them more than they’ll ever know. Abby and Ashley come clean about hiding the interview and reveal they ran a DNA test. Jack wants to know the results. Abby tells Jack she is so sorry. Jack looks defeated. He confronts the women for keeping it from him. They didn’t want it to be true. Jack cries about living every day trying to live up to John’s example. Billy insists it may not be true. Talk turns to how the footage the women destroyed got in there. Abby presumes it’s her fault. Jack recalls John caring for him the night she left, and his dad asking him to help with his sisters. They all knew how their mother was back then. Kyle adds he pulled off being a father and mother.

Jack Blasts Dina

Dina Mergeron appears and wants a cup of tea, and is angry about them talking about her and says John would be ashamed they built their family on honor and respect. Jack hollers, “Will you please shut the hell up?” Dina addresses him as ‘John Abbott’ and Jack hollers that he’s not John, he’s her son, Jack, and rants about she ran around on John and left him. Traci takes Dina out, as Jack goes on about their ‘classy’ mother. Dina gets upset. Ashley reminds him she’s old and confused and can’t hurt their family anymore.
