Flashback Y&R Recap: Katherine Mocks Loved Ones at Her Intervention

Bryton James introduces a classic episode which may be confusing to some newer viewers. Because of that, Soaps.com is writing storyline synopses to keep everyone up to date. This week features Katherine Chancellor, and today, Katherine stages her own intervention. We’ll also see Daniel learn Danny’s not his biological father, and Drucilla tries to keep Devon away from Lily.

In Phyllis’ living room, Daniel asks if Danny knows he’s not his father. Phyllis confirms he does. She says Daniel’s paternity was a secret Christine and Danny were hellbent on keeping from him. Phyllis was banished from his life and couldn’t raise him, and blames Christine. Daniel asks who his father is. Phyllis explains she got pregnant very young and the man didn’t want kids. She tells Daniel how she fell for Danny. Daniel deduces she slept with Danny then lied that he was his son. Phyllis knew Danny would be an excellent father. She recaps their past bliss until Chris ruined everything. Daniel agrees that Chris played God with his life and feels Danny did too. Phyllis wants a relationship with him. Daniel needs time to think.

At the Chancellor Estate, Katherine welcomes a stunned group to her intervention party. Jill barks, “What is this all about?” Katherine’s not interested in getting sober, but is pleased Brock is there. Everyone gapes as she toasts them. Brock tells his mother it’s breaking his heart to see her making the same mistakes again. Arthur Hendricks recalls falling in love with her, but says, “You’re an out-of-control alcoholic.” Lauren agrees; the person they loved has disappeared. Liz leans in to chastise her, but Katherine’s still unbothered. Lauren gets emotional about losing her, and Katherine shrugs it off. Brock storms out. Jill asks Kay if she’s willing to give up bonding as mother and daughter. Katherine laughs that she’ll outlive all of them as Mac arrives. Brock greets his daughter and Katherine pleads for a hug. Mac tells her grandmother they’re trying to save her life. She cries that she’ll walk away from her if she continues to destroy her life.
