It hurts so good... Posts: 37,092 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: June 6, 2007	Please link to DR only! Thank you! :) This week, both SOD and SOW have articles about the Chloe/Billy/Mac story. The following writeup is a summarization of both articles combined. Y&R's Mac is Back! Posted Image This week, Mac returns to Genoa City but her surprise re-appearance doesn't hold a candle to the news that Brock is Katherine's son and Jill isn't. "Billy is in overall shock when he sees Mac," admits Billy Miller. "It's like getting hit by a massive semitruck. It's really messed up and couldn't be happening at a worse time." When he learns that the love of his life isn't related to him after all, it throws him for a loop. "It means Billy and Mac got screwed over royally a long time ago," says Miller. "All that time in the shrink's office talking about the possibility of being in love with and nearly sleeping with your cousin was all for naught." Billy and Mac both try to come to terms with the news, albeit separately. After Colleen coyly suggests that Chloe should "get to know" Mac, Esther fills Chloe in on Billy's past with her. Chloe is shocked when she learns that the two of them were married and in love. Meanwhile, Jack does everything in his power to keep Billy from making a big mistake -- like kicking his current wife to the curb. Says Miller, "I don't think Billy knows what (kind of feelings) he has for Mac. All he knows is that was the only real relationship he ever had, and it was taken from him." "I think that the whole thing that happened with mac is part of why he's been the way he's been with women. When you lose someone you love, you react, and that's how he was trying to deal with the pain -- by being a playboy for all of these years. He's been searching for someone to fill that void," says Miller. Jack slaps Billy in the face with a harsh dose of reality. "Who's to say Mac is still interested -- that she hasn't moved on?" notes Miller. "Jack also points out that Billy just made a lifelong commitment to Chloe and has a baby. The whole point of him getting married was for the baby." Chloe and Billy end up exiting their reception early. Once they're alone, Chloe tried to wiggle some information about Mac out of Billy, but he responds by planting a kiss on her and they end up making love. "Billy has a way of making a woman shut up," laughs Miller. Billy thinks that having sex with Chloe will help him forget about Mac. He thinks he can lose himself in sex. But he doesn't get lost enough. Later, Chloe wakes up and realizes that Billy is gone. He's gone to se Mac. "Billy wants to feel her out," says Miller. "He just wants someone to talk to. Mac is pretty cold. She says they've both moved on. Billy needs that connection. He doesn't have it with anybody else, and Mac's denying it. It's frustrating." While Billy begs Mac to talk to him, she reveals that she's returning to Darfur as soon as possible. That's when Chloe arrives, baby in tow. "Elizabeth stole that scene," raves Miller. "She killed it! Chloe stakes her claim, like any good woman would." Billy goes back home with Chloe and the baby, but he eventually finds a way to sneak back out and heads over Chancellor Estate -- yet again. However, Brock won't let him see Mac. Billy pleads with Brock to take his phone number in hopes that Mac will contact him. "Billy has no idea what he wants," admits Miller. "Billy realizes people change and move on as they get older -- things are never the same -- but he feels there's still a glimmer of something there. It could turn out that he and Mac will just be buddies, but he's got to find out." By week's end, Mac informs Brock and Kay that she's decided to stay in Genoa City for good. Says Miller, "It'll be interesting to see where this all goes."
