Phyllis Makes Her Pitch, But Sally Wants Her Out
At the GCAC, Phyllis tried to reassure Billy about her loyalty. She insisted she was still all-in at Abbott Communications. But she also wanted Billy to promise that Daniel could join the company later. Billy hesitated. He wasn’t sure Daniel was fully focused. That uncertainty didn’t sit well with Phyllis.
Her frustration quickly bubbled over—especially when she saw Sally sitting with Billy. Phyllis snapped before storming out. Sally wasn’t about to let it slide. She warned Billy that Phyllis was a ticking time bomb. Sally bluntly suggested firing Phyllis before she caused damage. Billy listened but gave nothing away.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Tessa Offers Daniel Hope and Cookies
Over at Crimson Lights, Daniel wasn’t doing great. Tessa stepped in with a cookie and some inspiration. She opened up about her struggle with songwriting and how learning the harmonica helped. Daniel listened closely. Then he got an idea—one he wasn’t quite ready to reveal. But he did promise Tessa it was a game-changer.
That quiet moment got interrupted when Phyllis arrived. She wanted to speak with Daniel privately. He didn’t see the point. He had no plans to change his opinion about Abbott Communications. Things turned awkward when Phyllis realized he’d been seeking advice from Tessa instead of her. That stung.
Claire Surprises Kyle With a Yes—and a Confession
Elsewhere, Claire gave Kyle a shock when she agreed to move in with him. He hadn’t expected her to say yes so quickly. Claire was firm. She wanted this. Even though Kyle feared Victor Newman’s reaction, Claire wasn’t backing down. She reminded Kyle that this was her choice, not Victor’s.
Then came the big moment—Claire told Kyle she loved him. He was surprised again. Especially since Claire had never been in love before. But Claire was sure. Her heartfelt speech convinced Kyle she meant every word. He said it back and meant it too.
Despite the sweet kisses and declarations, Victor remained a concern. Kyle couldn’t shake the feeling that trouble was coming. Claire knew her grandfather wouldn’t be easy to win over. But she was ready to try. She promised to fight for Kyle, no matter what Victor planned.
Still, The Young and the Restless recap hint Victor’s plans with Audra could bring more chaos soon. So, Claire and Kyle’s love might get tested faster than they think. That’s a wrap on today’s The Young and the Restless Recap. Romance and rivalries collided—and the sparks are far from settling. Keep watching to see what happens next on this rollercoaster ride.
