“Young and the Restless” (Y&R) recap for Monday, April 1, 2019, reveals that over at Jabot, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) sneers that Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) has no authority to convene a meeting of the board. Kerry Johnson (Alice Hunter), now speaking in a British accent, makes nice with Ashley, who explains she is really Dominique Carroll. She thanks her for her great work and wishes for her safe travels.

Jack follows Dominique/Kerry out and confronts her – was everything they shared a colossal lie? She insists her feelings for him are separate and invites him to join her in Paris. Jack won’t go anywhere with her and isn’t letting her walk out of there without repercussions. She warns him against calling the authorities and wishes him luck battling Ashley.

Back in the Jabot office, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) complains about Ashley screwing them over again while Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) chastises that she’s playing God with people’s lives. Jack Abbott re-enters, followed by Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), who’s happy to see her mother.

Kyle and Abby get up to speed on Ashley’s plant at Jabot. Ashley reveals the real Kerry Johnson is working at her company in Paris. Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) asks if Ashley also owns Premiere Cosmetics – the company that took their patents. She does.

Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ashley Abbott Says She’ll Save Jabot

They all want to know what’s to become of Jabot. Ashley announces she’ll save it – by taking it over. She explains that all the products developed by Dominique belong to her…and Premiere Cosmetics, and mocks Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni) for making it so easy.

Traci and Billy call her out on Jack getting hurt. Ashley shrugs it off and informs them her offer expires tomorrow. Lauren takes Phyllis aside and worries about Fenmore’s – will it be cut loose? Phyllis won’t give in without at fight. Lauren glances at the Abbotts and says it may not be her call.

Across the room, Jack, Billy and Kyle are on the same page. Phyllis announces she’ll fight for Jabot’s rights by prosecuting for fraud or challenging the patents. The Abbotts shoot down her ideas. When it comes out Phyllis didn’t make Kerry sign a non-compete clause, Jack announces they’re voting her out. Phyllis protests about being the scapegoat as Jack calls for the vote.

Only Phyllis and Lauren vote to keep her on. Jack tells Red she’s out. Phyllis exits. Lauren argues with the Abbotts about accepting Ashley’s offer. Jack insists it’s not time to give in, it’s time for the fight of their lives. He wants to lead as CEO. Lauren snarks, “Here we go again.” Jack makes his pitch – he’s ideally suited for this challenge.
