Show #9029 - 11.24.08 - Director Dean LA Mont

Ashley and Jack are on the phone. She's on her way to see Victor. In the living room, Sharon is answering her phone as Ashley tells Jack she's got a bad connection and must go. The call Sharon got was for Jack. It's the FBI. They want to see him. FBI? Sharon is aghast. No worry, Jack told her it's "nothing". He didn't tell her before because he didn't want to ruin the mood of Katherine's death. Oh, oh. Sharon is pissed and away she goes.

Phyllis is still tracking down information about Jack when Nick and Nikki arrive at RSM. Nikki is ready to get back to work. Phyllis has a meeting to go to. Nikki wants to know what's on the agenda. Nick wants her to rest and move in with him and Phyllis. She won't do it. Nick calls Paul to say he needs help with mommy.

Heather and Adam are rehashing the Victor case. He's oddly happy about the attention he's getting from Victor, and he's got a surprise for Heather. A diamond necklace with pendant. The mood is ruined when Dennis, Heather's boss, comes in and Adam goes out.

At the jail, Michael is being told again by Victor that he didn't kill Walter Palin. As soon as his experts get the diary/journal they'll prove it's a forgery. Oh, and Victor wants Adam prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law".

Sharon is at the coffee shop where it happens Phyllis is too. So how's Jack? Where's Nick? Sharon doesn't want to talk about anything with her. On the phone, Phyllis cancels a meeting.

Nikki is pissed. Nick called Paul who took her to his place! She says she doesn't need a baby-sitter. "Isn't that what friends are for?" he asks, adding that if the roles were reversed she'd do the same for him. Alas, Nikki still blames herself for Katherine's death. She's not sleeping at night.

The no contact rule not in effect today at the jail, Ashley hugs Victor, who says she was right to tell him to face the music. Once he's free, he'll start over again and it's all thanks to her. His reconciling with the children too.

Phyllis went to see Jack. "This is not a good time!" he bellows, as Phyllis says she saw Sharon and Sharon is looking to Nick for comfort.

Back at RSM, Sharon is indeed with Nick reporting that Noah is on his best behavior. Nick knows it's really about the kiss which he can't stop thinking about either.

As Dennis leaves, Heather reports to Adam that the FBI told them that Michael will be examining the journal and anyone connected with it. She also wants to know why Adam put the money he got - the $2 million from the publisher - into a Swiss bank account.

Ashley wants Victor to forgive Nikki. He won't do it. Nikki is responsible for Sabrina's death and that of the unborn child. Oh. c'mon Victor, you're not one to keep a grudge. Pretty please? Do it for Ashley.

Paul reminds Nikki that her children won't stop worrying about her. Whatever, she won't move in with them. Right now she doesn't know who she is. Ring-ring. It's Ashley calling Nikki to say Victor wants to see her.

Adam wants to know who exactly is asking about his Swiss account. Would it be Heather? Could be, as Heather says she's not sure if she can trust him. Why is he hiding the money? Will the journal hold up in court? Does Adam fear he'll have to give the money back?

Phyllis wants Jack to put Sharon on a leash. He wants her to put Nick on one. Okay, what is it that Phyllis isn't telling him? A quick flashback to the kiss, Phyllis says she wants Sharon kept away from her family.

Nick suspects that going to Paris was wrong. The kiss was unexpected.

Golly, Victor wants to see Nikki? Paul is confused. Why trust Ashley? Because, now Nikki trusts Ashley. Victor is back and she prays he's ready to let her back into his life.

Kissing now, Ashley and Victor are interrupted by Michael who has the diary. He gives Ashley and Victor gloves to wear while they flip through the pages. As for the journal itself, Victor admits he purchased it in Mexico, but doesn't say if journals are sold at the bar or the nearby pharmacy.

Paul can't understand why Victor would reach out to Nikki. Silly boy, Victor realizes that life is too short, Nikki actually said. Besides, she's not expecting a "romantic reunion". Because they have history, she hopes Victor wants to be civil.

Oh. My. God. Michael says the entire diary was written using the same pen.

Adam declares before Heather that Victor is out to get him; he hated Adam long before the journal. Forget all this nonsense, let's get married; lets leave Genoa City.

Nick feels guilty for putting Sharon in a bad place. Well, she says she didn't have to kiss him back. Time for another flashback complete with accordion music and then they agree to blame what happened on Paris. Yup, it's all good.

Jack is telling Phyllis not to let the door hit her in the ass when she throws up his trip to Mexico. She knows all about it. He denies it. The cheap motel, the RSM press credentials, Phyllis has proof and shows him a printout of all his expenses which he apparently turned in after the clandestine trip.

Paul wants Nikki to eat some of his "world famous toast". No thanks, she's in a hurry to leave. Okay, he understands that she doesn't want to live with her kids, so why not move in with him? No pressures, he'll even let her control the remote control. Really? Really? Why yes, really. He'll have a key made right away.

Ashley, Victor and Michael agree that Nikki would never have been in cahoots with Adam. Michael gets a flash. He'll call the publisher! Victor says Adam is "too stupid" to pull this off by himself, and Michael is to get right on it. Chop-chop.

Now Sharon is telling Nick about the journal, Jack and Adam. Meantime, Jack is telling Phyllis he could have her arrested for digging into his personal information. Go for it and Phyllis will tell Sharon about the "hookers" and the motel. "Is that a threat?" Jack asked. So Phyllis tells him again. She yells that he's losing his wife. Face the fact. Nope, he won't. He warns that if she ever sticks her nose in his business again it'll be war - and she'll lose.

In her office with Adam, Heather is told that he has contacts in Brussels. He can get a job there. She can too. Let's go! No. She's not going to move on a whim. Adam should know how important her job is.

The bad news according to Michael, is that Victor wrote a confession. He tells this to Nick on the phone before Nick says he knows who's working with Adam - Jack!

Sharon returns to find Jack in a rush to see the FBI. So what's he been doing why she was gone? He's got great news! The Abbott family has regained Jabot and he'll be running the company again. Sharon can't believe it, unless he schemed. No, Jack says it's all on the up and up. Things are looking up for them. They're getting the family company back and he'll tell her more when he gets back. With Jack gone, the doorbell at Brad's place is ringing. It's Phyllis!

Victor tells Ashley again to go back to London. He doesn't want to drag her into his mess. Nope. He can't get rid of her that easily. And just as they hug again Nikki walks in.

Show #9030 - 11.25.08 - Director Dean LA Mont

A short Thanksgiving week in Genoa City, we'll be here for you today and tomorrow, then off Wednesday and Thursday returning on Friday for a look at Monday, Dec. 1. Since there must be much to give thanks for, let's see who in the big city is remembering the fortune Katherine gave them. Oops, nobody.

Phyllis is at Brad's place wanting to make a deal. Has she forgot that Brad is hot for Jack? No, that's what she came to tell him. That Sharon and Jack's marriage is on the rocks.

Meanwhile, Sharon is having a flashback to when she accused Jack of keeping secrets. The good thing is she never got pregnant. At the same time Heather and the FBI are grilling Jack who says he's got nothing to hide.

Neil, Olivia and Tyra are discussing Tyra's "date". Seems she's nervous as the doorbell rings. In comes the cop to take Tyra away as Neil calls out for him to have her home at a decent hour. The question Neil has for Olivia is whether the cop is good enough for Trya. Olivia recalls a time Dru was told to learn how to cook if she wanted to catch Neil.

With Victor at the jail, Ashley says she's going back to London to get Abby when Nikki appears. Holding a copy of the diary/journal, Victor mumbles at her, "Do you know about this?" It's a photocopy of the diary Adam "found". Is Nikki responsible? Is Victor crazy? She moved heaven and earth to save him. She has no idea how it got to the ranch, unless, the little Mexican girl. What? The girl is in Genoa City?

So Jack never met Walter Palin? Jack says no. But he does know Adam. Yes, Jack said he's known Adam "since he was in diapers". They are/were business associates, not friends. Jack knows about the diary too, only what he's seen in that magazine. Yes, he helped Adam get the excerpts published because he felt Victor done Adam wrong.

Phyllis is on the phone with Nick. She claims to be in traffic, but will be at the office soon. Does she always lie to her husband like this, Brad asked. No, she doesn't lie. She knows about Sharon and Jack and that should concern Brad. Brad is suspicious because he's the one who "put her [Phyllis] away" for blackmailing him. Whatever, Phyllis wants Brad to think about it. Call her when he's ready to sign on.

Nikki is sure Victor is still grieving as he tells her to get out. She won't leave without saying he's a self-centered son-of-a-bitch and she's finished with him. Screaming for Nikki to get out, the door opens and off she goes.

Olivia wants to know if Neil loves Karen. He does. Well then Olivia has a news flash. He shouldn't marry her.

At the AC bar Sharon is with Brad while at the coffee shop Nick is confronting Adam again. Don't worry, Nick won't hit him this time.

Nikki ran to tell Paul that at long last she's "free". She's tired of being punished, and Paul is as proud of her as she is of him.

Back with Nick, he follows Adam to the patio where Adam calls Victor "a thug". Nick says Victor would never have written a journal. Nick knows because he knows Victor than Adam does. It's Jack, isn't it? Adam isn't smart enough to pull something like setting Victor up by himself. "Get used to seeing Victor in jail," Adam snarls.

Olivia swears that Karen "isn't right" for Neil. There is "no chemistry". Not like Neil had with Dru. But, Neil reminds her that Dru is gone only to be told by Olivia that Tyra is hot for him. While this is happening, a great place to go on a date, both of them dressed to the nines, the cop took Tyra to the coffee shop where he says she's too young to be a mother.

Sharon can work her problems out without Brad's help. She doesn't want to drag him into her mess. Brad would be more than happy to get drugged; he let her get away once.

Quick like a bunny, Sharon zoomed to the coffee shop where Nick told her that the only reason Jack married her was to win a vendetta.

And again at the Abbott mansion, Jack has to tell Adam to be cool. Stop freaking out. Go home before Sharon gets home.

Paul doesn't want to wake up to an empty place on Thanksgiving. He'll sleep on the sofa 'cause it's closer to the fridge. Oh, what a great friend Paul is. C'mon Nikki, move in for Katherine's sake; she thought of you like a daughter. Yeah, Nikki doesn't know how she would have survived without Paul. Say, does Nikki remember when she and Paul first met? He does. The bikini she was wearing; ou-la-la. They were only seventeen. He was a young stud. Viagra hadn't been invented. There was no his and her KY-jelly. Looking into each others eyes, without any accordion music, they swap spit.

Olivia runs into Ashley. She had no idea she was in town. Well, she is. Ashley thought Olivia was in Africa. She was, and now she's back "lecturing" in Genoa City. So how is Nate Hastings? He's a medical student at John Hopkins and Olivia is headed to Maryland for Thanksgiving to be with him.

Tyra wants to know about the cop's family. They all passed? All of them? Yes indeed. Damn, that's too bad. So what's he doing for T-day? Watching football. Oh, that sucks. Come on over to Neil's place and "join us". Please?

With Karen, Neil says Olivia won't be around for Thanksgiving because she's going to Baltimore to be with her son. An early Christmas gift, Neil presents Karen with a ring. He wants to make it official.

Heather at the AC, she brings Adam up to speed on the grilling of Jack who, she says, put on a great performance. But Jack didn't fool her, she knows he's hiding something. Adam says it's not so. Jack is distracted is all; his marriage falling apart. If Heather sees Jack and Sharon together again she'll be able to tell, what with her sensitive "radar". No matter, Heather said she'll keep digging up dirt on Jack.

As Neil puts the ring on Karen's finger, Tyra is seen kissing the cop.

In bed after doing the deed, Nikki seems surprised that Paul is still so good after all these years. For him, it's like they're kids again.

Olivia and Ashley argue over Ashley's hooking up with Victor again. Ashley reminds Olivia how many men Olivia has lost. Besides, being with Victor feels so right. Victor meantime is listening to Nick telling him about Adam and Jack being in cahoots and how they've got to prove it.

Sharon returns home; she's made some decisions. She's going to give the marriage one more chance. Oh, thank you so much, but it would have been nice if she's used the word 'love'. You ass! Be lucky for what you've got. You better be honest with me from now on. One strike, Jack is out. Jack swears his life will be an open book. He wants the marriage to work.

Brad has made a decision too. He's ready to join Phyllis so that he can catch Sharon when she falls. That's the only reason he'll so it; "for Sharon's sake".

Show #9031 - 11.26.08 - Director Sally McDonald

At the AC, Phyllis is confirming that a table has been reserved for her Thanksgiving party.

At the jail, Nick and Victoria are visiting daddy. What a way to spend the holiday. Daddy can't avoid mommy. He's not. She came to see him yesterday and pissed him off so bad he wants nothing more to do with her.

At that moment Nikki is in bed with Paul swapping spit. She can't remember the last time she slept so good. He is one hot stud; so full of - himself. He hopes she doesn't think he had an ulterior motive when he asked her to move in.

Heather is with Adam happy to be together on T-Day because Paul isn't being much of a daddy. He agrees; their families suck. Yeah, they'll make their own family, she says.

Noah is with Jack and Sharon getting ready for turkey dinner when he remembers Cassie's "paper turkey". Sharon will get, and put it out. Jack thanks her for giving him a second chance.

Neil's place is jumping. Olivia has left for Baltimore, but Tyra and all including the cop are gathered for turkey. An announcement is made by Lily that she didn't cook the turkey. Thank God for that.

Out at the mausoleum, Ether is being told she doesn't have to take coats anymore because she owns the place. Billy arrives, Chloe greets him and Jill is hugging Cane. She's so happy to have her boys on hand.

At the diner, Murphy is presenting Marge/Katherine to Joe, her boss, who wants her to get right to work slinging hash.

Nikki and Paul are still talking about how great the sex was. They'll keep it a secret, especially on T-Day telling anyone wouldn't go over well.

Victor swears the diary/journal is a fake. He's sure Jack is pulling Adam's strings and he's planning to be free by Christmas.

Chloe suggests that "mom" hire someone to cook. Billy talks to Jill about going to visit the grave site. No can do. Jill would rather see Katherine alive.

Customers are pleased to see Marge back. Others are demanding their coffee some time today. The boss is giving her hell for being so slow and Marge lips off to Joe.

Back at Neil's place, there's bad news. Gill, the cop reports that a co-worker called in sick so he'll have to take the shift.

Jack and the family have finished eating already. Jack wants to watch football with Noah, but Sharon says she has to take him to the AC. Jack wants to carry on the tradition of going around the room saying what it is they are grateful for but never does.

Phyllis claims to have worked her fingers to the bone calling around for reservations. She, Nick, along with J.T. and the baby and Summer are joined by Paul and Nikki. Behind them, Adam and Heather are leaving and as they pass the table Nick snarls at Adam to enjoy the day because it'll be his last as a free man.

Roxanne must not have been available for rental as she's not with Devon and Lily mentions that she's spending time with Billy which takes Neil by surprise. Meanwhile, Cane is thanking Billy for being with Lily the other day at the bookstore when lo, Billy gets a phone message from Lily which Jill finds strange.

Katherine is warned by Marge's pal Pearl that she's acting strange and to get off the source or she'll get fired. Katherine says she hasn't had a drop.

Nick and all are talking about old times when Paul asks what his future son-in-law is up to. They ramble on about what Adam is doing to Victor, blah, blah.

Jack is pretending to get a call from Traci. All is going as they planned. Ashley went back to London. Then Jack reports to Sharon that Traci invited them to New York to so some Christmas shopping. Well, Sharon knows how busy things get near Christmas and she's not sure she'll have time.

Marge/Katherine is told to get a "wiggle" on and she doesn't appreciate it. Joe wants to know who she thinks she is? The Queen of England?

Oh lord, Katherine's seat at the mausoleum table is empty. She'll never sit there again. An argument ensues. What are Chloe and Ether going to do? Kick Jill out. Fat chance.

Billy appears at Neil's place looking for Lily. Neil is appalled. Is it a good idea to be hanging with his friend's ex? Lily comes up to greet Billy so Neil had no choice but let him in as the conversation shifts to what a good woman Katherine was. Then, big boy that he is, Devon starts playing tag with Ana.

Arriving on the job, Gill is handed a missing persons flyer. The missing? Ana Hamilton!

In a flash, Gill is back at Neil's place with a social worker. Yolanda reported Ana missing and he has a duty. Neil pipes up to say that Yolanda is a druggie. Devon says the same thing. He says Ana is scared to death of Yolanda and the cop isn't taking Ana anywhere. Remaining suspiciously quiet, all Tyra said was that she's Ana's aunt.

Noah arrives at the AC in time for dessert. Phyllis and Sharon exchange pleasantries. At the same time, Jack is at the jail giving thanks that Victor is locked up. Victor was, of course, wondering how long it would take before Jack showed his face.

Chloe reports that the baby is doing well despite that Cane says he tried to get another appointment with the doc, but couldn't. Then they throw around crazy baby names until Chloe says she knows it's going to be a girl and, or course, it must be named Katherine which pleases Jill to no end. Then Ether chimes in to say that she's done waiting on Jill and for her to get used to it.

Her day done, Katherine's feet are killing her. She did make a lot if tips, however. And Murphy should know too that if she's going to be a waitress, Katherine will be the best there ever was.

In an AC room, Adam presents Heather with another gift. He wants to get married on Christmas Day.

Nick proposed everyone say what they are grateful for. Noah is thankful he won't be grounded much longer. Nick and Phyllis are grateful for family. Paul is grateful to Nikki for sharing her family. Nikki is grateful to have a great year ahead of her. J.T. is grateful that Victoria and Reed had the strength to fight death. Victoria is grateful to have a great family. Phyllis adds that she's grateful for her incredibly "sexy" husband.

Jack is gloating. He didn't know Victor was such a great writer. He does know that Victor is capable of murder. Victor orders him out.

Ana is getting the bad news. The social worker is taking her to foster care. Ana says she won't go. She cries as the cop suggests they get a good lawyer.
