Liveblogging "The Young & The Restless": You can ring my (Bill) Bell

You see, because Bill Bell was the creator and producer of Y & R, and Rafe is supposed to call and reciprocate Adam's feelings, so ... okay, it's a lame title.

But this episode will feature more of the burgeoning relationship between the two, and hopefully more of my favorite character, the Crazy Poison Peanut Cat Lady. Join us below for the madness, and remember to refresh often for breaking updates!

12:30PM EDT: I finally figured out why Mary Jane seems so familiar. First, she's played by Stacy Haiduk, who played Lana Lang on the late 80's-early 90's syndicated series Superboy, and more importantly, she's a dead ringer for another bat crap insane woman.

12:35PM EDT: This was an odd scene. Adam says "I don't mind people hating me ... everyone except you", and then says "just forget it". Rafe moves closer and says "no, we can't", and tenderly ... claws the side of his face? It looks as though they're about to kiss when there's a long dramatic pause, and both guys look like they're waiting for someone to yell "Cut"!

12:40PM EDT: More Mac, Chloe, Billy stuff, we get Mary Jane going crazy eyes on Jack, and poor little Summer is on a fake respirator (which made me giggle ... because I'm a horrible person).

12:50PM EDT: We return to Adam and Rafe ... and they're buttoning their clothes. Um ... what? I guess we're supposed to infer that they had sex, right? Now that's what i call a quickie! Seriously, they couldn't even show them partially disrobed? Or sitting on the bed together? What is this, ATWT circa early 2008?

12:55PM EDT: Re-watching the scene, I guess it's possible that it was just a quickie. Rafe's hair was perfectly coiffed, but Adam looked a little ... worse-for-wear. Which is kinda hilarious.

1:00PM EDT: Okay, is Sharon trying to out-crazy Mary Jane? The girl is having a conversation with herself, God, and an aroma-therapy candle.

1:05PM EDT: For the second time in a row, Sharon sees Phyllis and Nick through the window and misconstrues what's happening. If she has just hesitated thirty seconds before looking . OMG, Adam tried to "wash off the gay", and when Heather comes in, he's goes all "I'll show you how hetero I am". Is it just me, or does that ankle monitoring device make him even hotter?

1:10PM EDT: More sad Nick looking hot, and Sharon lies about knowing the paternity of her baby. Billy is a bit rogue-ish, isn't he? Mac and Chloe have a mini-catfight over him, and I don't blame them.

1:20PM EDT: Now it's Adam and Heather getting dressed after presumed sex (and the bed is again made). They should probably get a plastic slipcover for that couch.

1:25PM EDT: Rafe calls Adam and they have a wonderfully awkward, pause-laden conversation (that actually is very realistic considering the circumstances), and Rafe admits that he has feelings for Adam. The Sofa Of Sin beckons!

1:30PM EDT: Sharon lies to Jack about being the father, and in the best scene in the episode, Victor finds Mary Jane's stuffed cat. He has a definite "what have I gotten myself into" look on his face.

Preview Time: No Rafe or Adam from the preview, but we'll be back again at some point!
