Y&R Recap: Mariah Copeland Reconnects With Tessa
At the Genoa City Athletic Club, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Mariah (Camryn Grimes) continued muddling through their date night. They absolutely had to remind themselves that they were grownups. They simply couldn’t get over the fact that they were out without their baby.

Going further, Tucker revealed he’d proposed to Ashley. Abby stormed over to her mom, demanding that Ashley tell her if the proposal really happened, and Tucker let Ashley know he still wanted to marry her. Ashley insisted the whole thing was just to bug Jack, but Tucker said he meant it when he asked her to marry him.
As Abby and Devon danced, Ashley complained that Tucker told Abby about the engagement, but he blew her anger off. He wondered what type of proposal Ashley would like, and she suggested Tucker slow down. He insisted that she humor him, and Ashley told him what she didn’t want — anything flashy or extravagant. Of course, an intimate, meaningful surprise might be nice.Chance (Conner Floyd) went to the Abbott mansion looking for Jack, but he wasn’t there. Summer (Allison Lanier) wondered if she could help, and Chance asked her if she knew what new evidence Jack had about Phyllis being alive. Of course, Summer was surprised.
Chance worried about Summer’s emotions if the whole thing was just a ploy from Jack. However, Summer told Chance that Phyllis was definitely alive, and he wondered when she’d decided that. Summer said it finally sunk in and that Daniel wouldn’t lie.
Chance wondered what Summer was hiding from him, and she insisted nothing. Summer wondered what “we” could do to help Phyllis so she could return to Genoa City. She wanted somebody on her side, and Chance said he’d do what he could. He suggested maybe the new evidence would change everything.Chance wanted Summer to confess about what she and Daniel had been arguing about.

He accused Summer of knowing all along, and she wasn’t honest. Chance insisted that knowing all the facts would help him help her.
