The Young and the Restless Recap for Wednesday, April 29, brings high tension, emotional decisions, and growing fears. While Victoria and Claire are thrown into panic over Cole’s health, others like Chelsea and Sally face major turning points in their careers.
Cole’s Condition Sparks Fear
At the tack house, Cole Howard’s health takes a sharp decline. His coughing intensifies, and Victoria quickly grows alarmed. She notices his fever rising and begs him to see a doctor. Still, Cole shrugs it off, insisting it’s just the flu and that rest is all he needs.
Claire arrives mid-crisis, hoping to grab work documents. Instead, she finds Cole lying weakly on the sofa. Her concern immediately matches Victoria’s. As Cole’s coughing fits worsen, the mood turns serious. Both women begin to panic as they realize this could be more than just a passing illness. In the end, Cole admits he needs medical help and agrees to seek treatment—though the worst may still be ahead.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Billy’s Pitch to Sally
Over at the GCAC, Billy Abbott reconnects with Sally Spectra. Their conversation turns toward business—and maybe something more. Billy encourages Sally to walk away from her current partnership with Phyllis. He also reiterates his offer to team up with her professionally, promising big things for their future collaboration.
Sally appreciates the gesture but isn’t ready to commit. Despite her hesitation, Billy stays optimistic. He believes their combined talents could lead to something successful. While she walks away without a final answer, the door clearly remains open.
Chelsea’s Career Crossroads
At Crimson Lights, Chelsea Lawson prepares to meet Lauren but runs into Adam and Connor first. Adam quickly learns she’s thinking about leaving Marchetti. He’s thrilled at the idea and pushes for her to join Newman Media. The idea of working together again excites him—both personally and professionally.
Later, Chelsea sits down with Lauren to talk things through. She shares that she’s seriously considering quitting her job. However, guilt creeps in. She worries about leaving Summer in a tough position and isn’t sure if she can go through with it.
Chelsea wonders aloud if Sally could handle the additional workload. Lauren doesn’t dismiss the idea but stresses the need to talk to Sally first. Chelsea hesitates. She fears the awkwardness of that conversation and isn’t quite ready to make a move. Still, Lauren tells her to trust her gut and promises to support her, no matter what she decides.

Meanwhile, at Society, Claire catches up with Nikki Newman. She shares the exciting news that she and Kyle have exchanged love declarations. Claire even mentions their plan to find a new place together. But joy quickly turns to fear as Claire confesses her dread about Victor’s reaction.
She’s convinced that Victor will either lash out or try to sabotage the relationship. Nikki takes a calm, strategic approach. She advises Claire to ease Victor into the idea. Slowly. Gently. Claire agrees to let Nikki guide her through it—hoping the patriarch won’t explode when the time comes.
