Of course, it all hinges on whether or not J.T. I kinda like the idea of Nate’s lie setting off a chain reaction, and of Elena stepping outside her comfort zone to scheme a little bit. The preview shows Audra telling Elena that her boyfriend is in California with Victoria, which presumably is what cements her desire to shake up Victoria’s world by bringing J.T. alone - it will make him look 1000 times guiltier when the truth comes out. I can’t imagine what possessed Nate to lie about going to L.A. Well, the secret’s out… Elena will go ahead and get in contact with J.T. I have no idea what this is that we’ve been given instead, and I’m not sure what/who we’re even supposed to be rooting for at this point. My take? When Diane returned I expected a tale that would have her get everything she wanted at Phyllis’ expense, but for Phyllis to expose her in the end. Fans are either furious that the plot makes no sense at all and/or angry at what Phyllis is doing to Summer and Daniel… either way, it’s left viewers boiling mad. The story may have been conceived as a means of leveling the playing field between Phyllis and Diane, but it’s anyone’s guess as to how they’re going to write the redhead out of this one. The writers, in trying to deliver some classic Phyllis drama, have instead served up a heaping helping of chaos that’s left a main character, well, screwed. Phyllis coming back, revealing herself to Summer, and dumping the entire mess on her shoulders is pretty much indefensible, aside from her being a trainwreck in general. But it’s the next part that sticks in the craw. That led to her killing Stark in self-defense. We could understand her desire to frame the woman, but Phyllis agreeing to go off for the rest of her life and leave her kids behind didn’t ring true… and predictably, as soon as the deed was done she wanted to backtrack. But when Phyllis decided it would be a good idea to fake her death just as Diane did, things took a turn for the puzzling. Plotting with Jeremy Stark? Still fine, fun even.

Cutting off her nose to spite her face with Jack? Expected. For those who remember Diane letting her go to jail for a fire she set and for leaving her to become a suspect in her “murder”, it was totally believable that the woman’s return would be triggering for her former rival and send her off the deep end. Seasoned Young & Restless viewers are quite used to Red being her own worst enemy, but her current storyline doesn’t even make sense.
