Young and the Restless Recap Monday, February 4; Newman Family Discover They Have Been Under Surveillance, Wonder If JT is Alive

“The Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Monday, February 4, 2019, reveals that over at Rey Rosales’ (Jordi Vilasuso) apartment, Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) is shocked he’s not at work. He pulls her in close and explains he took time off to be with his wife. Mia approves.

They start undressing. After sex, Mia loves how close they are and admits she was scared they’d lost each other and he’d never forgiven her. Rey asks if there’s ever a problem, they talk about it. Mia knows he has to get to work and reveals she’s having drinks with Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway). Rey’s surprised. Mia explains it’s a goodwill mission over cocktails.

At the ranch, Katie calls out to her mommy that she’s okay. Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) work to get her out from behind the wall panel and urge the girl to be brave and patient. Finally, they free her and ask what happened. Katie wants to talk to Billy alone so they go off. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) looks into the wall and says, “I’ll be damned, look at that. Whoa.” He barks orders into the phone as Nick reports there is full-blown surveillance of the entire house.

Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) marvels that the person has been watching and listening and that they could know the truth about J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill). Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) only concern is Katie. Billy rejoins them and says Katie claimed she had fun and she’s been going in the wall with her ‘friend’ for a week. He adds Katie drew a picture.

They all speculate on the identity of the person, who must know the ranch and have technical skills. Victor can only think of one man who checks the boxes. Billy scoffs at the idea it could be J.T. Nick latches onto the idea J.T. faked his own death. Nikki thinks it would explain a lot, and Victoria adds it would make sense. After Billy and Victoria leave the room, Nick asks his mother if J.T. could have survived.

She admits it crossed their minds, especially when Nick impersonated him, but it seems inconceivable even if he was buried alive. Nick feels if it was him, they have to find him and both their futures could depend on it. Later, Victor muses to Nikki about putting that S.O.B. behind bars and his arrogance will be his downfall. Nikki doesn’t feel safe. Victor holds her.

At the police station, Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) fishes to find out why Rey Rosales went home during his shift. Awkwardness ensues as Rey relays he made some time for Mia Rosales and Sharon apologizes. Rey wants things to be okay between them. Sharon assures him they’re good, and she’s glad to hear things are working out for him and Mia. She rambles she’s glad nothing happened between them and they remained colleagues. Rey tells her their friendship is important to him. They discuss the case against Victor Newman. Rey hopes to find something that would sway…someone like her.

Abby Newman arrives at the Club to find Mia Rosales has ordered the first round already. Mia muses that she told Rey Rosales they might be friends one day. Abby thinks that would be…incredible. They toast. Abby warns she only has time for one drink. Mia agrees and says she’s crazy busy too and Rey can’t get enough of her. She decides it’s time they were honest and talk turns to Mia’s decision to reveal her affair with Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela). Abby thinks it was provocative.

Mia doesn’t want to be enemies with Abby over old history, and explains the vow renewal meant a lot, which is why she was less-than-gracious when Arturo made it about him and… Abby asks, “Him and who?” Mia alludes to his sibling rivalry with Rey. Abby feels he had no ulterior motive and points out he’s not competing with his brother anymore. Mia’s sure she’s right. Talk turns to Abby’s wedding and Mia urges her to plan splashy nuptials. Abby notes it’s not her first marriage.

Mia keeps pushing so Abby plays along, then tells her she was joking. Mia plants doubt about what Arturo will want. Abby notes Mia talks a lot about Arturo.
