Young and The Restless Update Tuesday 10/1/02--Canada; 10/02/02--USA

Nikki is telling  Sharon how lucky she is to have a family like she does.  Sharon had a difficult visit with her mother-in-law.  Nikki seems to think the family is the best they have ever been, but Sharon knows better.   Nikki has no idea what havoc has been going on since the wedding.  Sharon still has a terrible time dealing with the things she did.  Sleeping with Diego is the single worst thing she ever did.  Cassie comes home to find her grandmother there.  She is so happy to see her after that wonderful wedding.  They hug. Noah is there too.  He hopes his grandmother has brought some presents.  Sharon watches her children interact with their grandmother.  If only they knew.  Sharon is embarrassed her kids are asking for presents, but Nikki didn’t forget them.   She does have presents for them. Cassie gets a diving book.  Nikki went diving so there may be some creatures she may recognize.  Nick comes home to sees his children happy.  He is content to watch for a while until the kids call out to him.  Nick joins the group.  Nikki thinks Sharon and Nick should go to Australia, as she did.  Nikki tells Nick that Victor  had to go to Canada for business yet assures them Victor will be back soon.  Cassie finds a gift that Nikki says is Sharon’s.  The kids invite her to dinner but she refuses.  That upsets the kids, but after 20 hours on the jet, Nikki has to get some rest.  She leaves after kissing everyone.  Sharon says dinner is ready so they get ready to eat.  Cassie and Sharon go to the kitchen to get everything ready.  Noah is smiling as boys don’t have to help.  Nick likes that and hugs his son.

Colleen got tickets to see the concert that night.  She’s trying to get  JT’s attention by figuring out his interests and thinks she has found just that thing.  JT loves the band that will bring him to her. Caitlin can’t believe the cash Colleen spent for the tickets to this do.   Colleen is hoping to go to the concert with the guy of her dreams.  She is sure JT is available to go with her to the concert.  Unworried about her grandfather finding out about the concert or her going with JT, she has a plan.  Caitlin is concerned about being grounded for a year if she is caught outright lying to her grandfather.  Colleen is sure she can hide her visits with JT.  Colleen plans to tell her grandfather she is going to the concert with Caitlin.  He would let her go with her good friend.  Also, he wouldn’t pry because he would believe Colleen.  Caitlin reminds her that she still doesn’t know if JT is going to go with her.  Colleen is sure she can get JT to go as he loves that band.  She is also sure they are going to have the best time ever.  Jill walks in and sees the talking girls.  She asks what great time they are going to have together.  She likes seeing them together yet wonders what they are going on about.  The girls try to be evasive, but end up telling Jill they are going to see a concert that night.  Jill tells Colleen that this is a school night.  They know but Colleen promises to keep her curfew.  Jill tells Colleen she has to call her grandfather to let him know what she is doing.  Jill wishes the girls a good time as she leaves.  Caitlin is thanked by Colleen for being so cool.  Colleen says she was unable to reach her grandfather because he was busy. That is her cue to call him at work and leave him a message.

At the coffeehouse, JT is with Mackenzie.  She is on her way out of town.  Already having seen Raul, she wants answers from him about Colleen.  He tells her that he only pecked her on the cheek earlier.   He is upset that she hasn’t believed in him.  He hasn’t done anything wrong.  She can tell that something has been happening between JT and Colleen.  Every time she sees him, he’s been with Colleen.  There is nothing more to it than JT liking to spend time with Colleen, he tells her.  Mackenzie tells him the Abbots are not going to like him hanging around Colleen.  JT says he doesn’t want their last conversation to be like this.  He assures her he is walking the straight and narrow now since JT knows Mackenzie loves him.  She is sentimental, and he warns her she is going to make him cry.  They hug as he helps her with her coat. She thanks him for that and leaves.

Isabella and Lauren are having a bite together.  Isabella says Mary hasn’t been taking over the way that she usually does.  She seems to be holding a grudge the way she usually does.  Lauren suggests Isabella have the christening party at Gina’s.   Michael and Christine enter causing Isabella to wonder if she should have steam coming out of her ears.  Lauren wants to know what Isabella has been thinking about Paul’s feelings.  Isabella is going to tend to her own relationship.   Lauren is fascinated by Christine being in town.  Isabella informs Lauren that Michael and Christine have been sleeping together.  Isabella tells her that she has her secrets.  Isabella knows Michael has been sleeping with her.  Once Paul finds that out, it is going to be an ice bucket of reality.

Mackenzie calls Katherine to let her know she got to the college safely.  Jill arrives soon after   and is being nice to the old woman.  Jill says she took a letter to John from Billy when she ran into Colleen and her friend.   How quickly things have changed!  Katherine says Billy still ended up a fine young man.  Jill wishes she had the same bond John has with Colleen.  It is built on faith and trust.

JT is alone when Colleen comes up to see him.  She brings up the party he’s going to later by saying that while he is there, she’ll be at the Thrash House concert.  JT can’t believe she has tickets so she lets him see… fourth row center!  He tells her some guy in his English class is having the party.  It might be a total bust.   She offers to take him to the concert.  “Want to come?”

Victoria remembers time with Diego… dancing near the pool… him hearing her laughs… she visiting him at the Tack House… clinking wine glasses …. pillow fights in his bed…  She tries to forget those times.  Victoria is at her mother’s house when she arrives.  “Surprise!”  Nikki informs her daughter she went to see Nick and Sharon.  Victoria is surprised.   Nikki sees her surprised so Victoria covers by saying Nick had a lot of work at the office.  Nikki can see something is wrong but Victoria denies it, saying everything is alright.  Nikki and Victor got a vibe and think there may be something she needs  to know.  Nikki thinks this should be a wonderful family time.  Nikki is not looking for trouble.  Victor is going to be back soon, but who knows what that means.  Victor is as happy as Niki is.  Victoria knows her mother is glowing because of her.  Nikki never gave up hope on Victor.  Victoria knows if you wish for something hard enough, it will come true.  Nikki wants to know if Victoria and Diego are still an item and wants all the dirt.

Nick and Sharon are with their children having a wonderful dinner.  Sharon prepared the same meal for Nick a long time ago.  Cassie is having fun at school.  She really likes math which is like Nick.  Cassie talks about algebra and asks for help.  Noah wants to know about dessert.  There is nothing special ready but  Sharon admits she has chocolate cake.  The whole family is happy to hear that.  “Gimme five!”

Michael and Christine are dining together and she admits feeling more carnivorous.  He refers to her as a lusty wench, shocking her.  Michael would like to talk about it later.   He rented a movie she wanted to watch.  “The Verdict!”  He would like to watch it with her.  Christine hates that he is nervous.  She tells him ‘yes’, they can watch it together as a diversion.  She turns to look at Isabella and Lauren. She would like to scratch that woman’s eyes out.  Michael tells her to look at him.  Christine admits she would like to have some chocolate with him right now.

Nick puts the children to bed so he and Sharon are alone, talking.  Sharon compliments him.    Noah dotes on Nick.  She knows that soon, Noah will be asking for help with his algebra.  Nick asks her why she is doing all this.  Maybe she is hoping that Nick will get all sentimental and forget what happened.  Sharon had him, yet that wasn’t good enough for her.  Sharon begs for one more chance but gets pushed away as she tries to kiss him.  Nick walks out the front door and leaves.
