Young and the Restless Spoilers & Recap Tuesday, February 19: Phyllis Makes A Deal, She’s Christine’s Star Witness

“Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Tuesday, February 19, 2019, reveals that over at the hospital, Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) and Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela) return. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) updates them that Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) is still unconscious and all they can do is wait and hope. Later, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) arrives with Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez), who panics when she finds Lola’s bed empty.

Rey appears and says they took her for tests. Mia begs Rey to tell her Lola will be okay. Rey explains Kyle fished Lola out of the pool and that the police believe she was attacked. Mia vows to be there for Rey and Lola and eyeballs Arturo over his shoulder. Rey pulls Arturo over – they need to be united right now. In the waiting area, Abby consoles Kyle. Summer Newman (Hunter King) shows up and he’s irate. Kyle informs Summer he’s not her friend and tells her to leave.

Summer’s taken aback. Kyle points out he and Lola would be celebrating at the cabin now if not for her and for all he knows she attacked Lola. Summer tells him he’s acting crazy and stalks off. Arturo approaches with Abby and he also wants Kyle to leave. They shove each other and argue as Arturo complains about Kyle kissing someone else, and Kyle confronts him about his own backstory. Rey intervenes. Kyle leaves and Abby says she will update him. Abby then finds Mia crying. They agree to put their differences aside for now. Rey reappears and vows to Mia he’ll find out who did this to Lola and make sure they pay.

Over at the police station, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) tries to see Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni). He spots Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), who updates him they’ve interrogated Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) again, and have arrested Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) too. They decide to head to Nick’s and come up with a plan. In an interrogation room, Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) doubts Phyllis has anything she needs, but Phyllis has something she’ll want bad – and it will cost her.

Christine learns Phyllis is the only one with evidence and she’ll have a slam dunk. Christine invites her to write it down, but Phyllis wants full immunity first. Christine agrees but warns if anything proves to be a misrepresentation or fails to check out, the deal goes in the shredder. After reading the deal, Phyllis signs it. Christine urges her to start talking. Phyllis says her version should line up with the snitch’s – she makes it clear J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill) was a threat and then recounts the night’s events. Phyllis describes Victoria being in imminent danger.

Christine calls for a warrant and says Nikki did what any mother would have done and she didn’t mean to kill J.T., but they panicked and dealt with it. Phyllis maintains J.T.’s responsible for what happened to him and she’ll go to her grave believing they were justified. Christine asks about her evidence. Phyllis mentions the fireplace poker, cellphone, and a tape of them removing the body. She updates Christine on how to get the items. Christine is frustrated she doesn’t know where J.T.’s body is. Phyllis confirms Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) was with them that night, then is taken out. Christine calls about a search warrant.

At Crimson Lights, Mariah Copeland tells Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) she’s not able to see her mom. Tessa frets the truth will come out and she and Mariah are part of the cover-up. The women could even bring her down for blackmailing them. Mariah gets a call from Christine Williams who needs her to come in for questioning.

At Nick Newman’s place, Michael Baldwin worries he’s not getting the truth from Victoria Newman and Nikki Newman. Nick wonders why Phyllis Summers didn’t get a lawyer and knows she must have a plan. Summer Newman arrives and is puzzled as Michael tells her to hang in there on his way out. She rants about Kyle Abbott until Nick breaks the news that Phyllis has been arrested. Summer gets up to speed on the arrests and wants to go to the station, but Nick reveals they can’t see her mom now. He hopes there are no more surprises.

Christine Williams meets with Mariah Copeland at the GCPD, who claims she was drunk and doesn’t remember the night J.T. Hellstrom died. Christine asks if she has information from a video. Mariah frets and wants to see Sharon. Christine calls her out on her reaction to the mention of a video. Mariah admits she heard there’s a recording of the body being moved into a trunk. She protests her mother was caught up in this and may have even been coerced by Victoria. Christine needs facts, not opinion. Later, Christine rejoins Phyllis Summers and states that her evidence checked out. She tells her she’s free to go but warns not everyone will be as happy about her deal as she is – she’s her star witness.

Mariah Copeland rejoins Tessa Porter at Crimson Lights and reveals Christine Williams knows about the tape. Tessa realizes she’ll get it off the servers at Dark Horse. Mariah feels this thing is going to swallow them whole.
