Y&R Recap: What's Best For Stitch's Son Max?

After disclosing that Max has a tumor, Stitch tells Abby that the surgery brings its own set of risks. However, despite the potential complications, he says he can't bear to watch Max suffer.

"I can't stand it, Abby," he says. "The idea of this mass making my kid angry, unable to control his emotions? That's not who Max is. That's almost the worst part. He believes he's capable of these horrible things. I want him to get his life, his mind, his soul back."

Scared of what he might do next, Max assures his dad that he wants to get the tumor removed. 

"I want them to do the surgery," he tells Stitch. "I don't want to do bad stuff anymore. Please, get it out."

 

Unconvinced that Hilary has people's best interests in mind, Neil tells his son that he needs to be careful. 

"Deep down, you know that I'm right," Neil says. "She is cold-blooded, man. She is not the same woman you fell in love with." 

After learning of another setback, Dr. Neville rushes to check on Hilary. But when he arrives, she seems more concerned with getting the treatment to the public by fall. Upset, Dr. Neville warns her that they have an obligation to be thorough. 

"We have a responsibility to our patients," he says. "We're playing with people's lives."

While he agrees to go along with Phyllis' story, Billy reminds her that he isn't interested in a relationship with Bethany.

"You know she's not who I want to be with," he tells her.
