The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

At first I thought the same thing as the OP, but them I thought, well, Phyllis is working on herself to become a better mother, a better person, so maybe her thoughts are "oh God, the last thing I need is to be an accessory to this". I can't blame her for her first reaction to Jacks confession. I by no means am a Phyllis fan, quite the opposite, but I like to be fair.

I thought the scenes were well-written and well-acted. It was believable that Phyllis would freak out that yet again she is party to a dead body being moved (by knowing about it in this case). It also showed she's committed to Jack. Despite her horror at helping in a cover-up, by the show's end, she was encouraging Jack to focus on himself and let Stephanie go. Even when he said he had to "set things right" she was in the background looking exasperated: Very true to Phyllis's character. She's like Adam that way. They can set aside their morals when need be (which is an interesting, edgy aspect to their characters and when well-written, really fascinating). Jack on the other hand is not like that. He has, as far as I recall, been eaten up by things he has done and is more of a softy. In that respect, he is his father's son (he has a moral line he can't cross).
