Welcome to The Young and the Restless Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick -- and by that, I mean you're already halfway done -- recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today's episode. Let's get to it:

What happened on The Young and the Restless

Killing off Chance (Conner Floyd) last summer not only robbed The Young and the Restless of the last surviving member of the Chancellor clan (Chance was Phillip Chancellor IV), who was on the canvas, but it also robbed Genoa City of a lawman. Just as Nate (Sean Dominic) gave up medicine to enter the business world, so did Chance. However, that position was reversed when he returned to law enforcement. It's Soap Opera 101 that every soap needs law enforcement. General Hospital, Days of our Lives, and Beyond the Gates all have regular law enforcement characters. Deputy Chief Baker (Dan Martin) recurs on The Bold and the Beautiful. But Y&R doesn't have that. And, boy, do they need one! We're not talking visiting Los Angeles "lawwoman" Annie Stewart (Christine Kresge) either (unless she turns over a new leaf!). The show needs to have someone on top of the Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) situation and also someone reminding Cane (Billy Flynn), Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Victor (Eric Braeden), et. al., that using the AI program to take down companies is illegal. It's against the law. The Newmans and Abbotts are playing chess with each other over this program, and we have no doubt that both clans will survive. As will Cane and Phyllis. But what about the hundreds (thousands?) of employees that work for Jack and Victor? Their livelihoods are all on the line, too! Paging the police!

Want more details? We got you! Soap Central has the best full Y&R recaps on the Internet! You can even go back over 30 years and read each and every one of 'em. If you can't wait until the next episode, we have daily spoilers, too! And whatever you do this weekend, do not....seriously do NOT...forget to read the Two Scoops for some laughs (hey, admit it, we're funny) in the as-close-as-we-can-come to being a watching party without actually being a show -- and the best part is if you agree or disagree, we want to know!
