Young and the Restless Recap Monday, February 25: Nick Throws Phyllis Out Of His Life and House

“Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Monday, February 25, 2019, reveals that over at Jabot, Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni) has called a meeting to clarify her involvement in J.T. Hellstrom’s (Thad Luckinbill) death. She explains she’s a witness and not in any legal jeopardy and says it’s business as usual. Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracy E. Bregman) is unhappy about Phyllis’ name being in the news. Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) calls Phyllis a liar and says she is up to her eyeballs in this and her garbage will bury the company. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) agrees this will blow back on Jabot.

Billy rants about Phyllis throwing the women under the bus. Kerry Johnson (Alice Hunter) decides to get back to work, and the others follow, except Billy. Phyllis warns him about his personal attacks. He complains about Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) being arrested. Phyllis insists she was trying to help. Billy’s not buying it and will work from home – Victoria’s home. Later, Kerry and Lauren rejoin Phyllis. Kerry’s supportive, but Lauren worries she can’t sell this to the staff and the public. Phyllis defends herself. Lauren just hopes this works out for everyone involved.

At the Abbott mansion, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) talks about putting the restaurant on pause as Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) listens. After, Jack advises he’ll help Abby with her wedding because he doesn’t see her mother coming home anytime soon. Abby hugs him.

At the hospital, Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) offers to relieve Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela), who’s sleeping at Lola’s bedside. He goes. Mia cries, “This is all my fault.” She explains to the unconscious Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) that she thought she was Abby. She sobs about her wearing that coat and says she loves her. She promises to change and begs her to wake up; she’ll never forgive herself otherwise. In the doorway, Arturo hears – he thinks it sounded like she knows something the rest of them don’t. Abby appears. Mia just wants Lola’s forgiveness for the hurt she’s caused the family. They reassure her.

At the police station, Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) learns the evidence in his sister’s attack points to a female assailant.

At home, Rey Rosales looks at Lola Rosales’ file then rushes to a box. He pulls out Mia Rosales’ earring and fumes. Mia arrives and goes on about visiting Lola until Rey says they have evidence. He tells her about the women’s shoeprint and the diamond and opal earring – which he bought for her. Mia cries, “I’m so sorry.” She sobs an explanation about thinking she was teaching Abby a lesson and pleads with Rey to help her. Rey slaps on the handcuffs and begins, “You have the right to remain silent…” Mia interrupts and says he can’t do this because she is pregnant.

At Crimson Lights, Abby Newman advises Kyle Abbott there’s no change with Lola Rosales. Kyle feels helpless. She warns him not to go to the hospital.

Kerry Johnson arrives at the Abbott mansion where Jack Abbott has forgotten their date. They kiss. She announces she’s taking care of everything and massages his back with her feet as he lies on the floor. Kerry knows he’s worried about Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). Jack’s unconvinced she had intended to kill and is frustrated Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) been unable to get her out. He’s also worried about Kyle Abbott, who’s panicked and hurt over Lola Rosales. Kerry embraces him.

Abby Newman returns to the hospital and makes a pitch for Kyle Abbott, but Arturo Rosales needs to protect his sister. He listens as Abby talks to Lola Rosales about how inspirational she is. Abby wants to take care of Arturo and convinces him to leave for a break. Later, Kyle sneaks in wearing a doctor’s coat to see Lola. He tells her how much he loves her and urges her to wake up – he needs her. As he tells her she’s beautiful, and he was never disappointed they didn’t have sex, he just wanted to wake up next to her, Arturo discovers him there. Kyle protests – what if it was Abby laying there? Arturo would never do to Abby what Kyle did to Lola and wishes Kyle would fight him.

Phyllis Summers arrives at home and Nick Newman asks what she expects from him right now. Phyllis is disappointed he won’t offer comfort. She insists she was as shocked by Christine Williams’ (Lauralee Bell) charges as he was. Phyllis argues with Nick and says she told her J.T. Hellstrom was to blame and that Nikki Newman didn’t commit first-degree murder. Nick complains she did it on the sly, but Phyllis counters they were separated. Nick maintains she only thought about herself.

They bicker about her not exercising her right to remain silent. Nick grits his teeth and adds she betrayed them. Did she honestly think he’d be okay with this? Phyllis defends herself. Nick complains he trusted her. He says, “You’ve got to go. Out of this house, and out of my life. We’re done.”
