Meanwhile, Claire Newman pumps the brakes with Kyle Abbott, and Lily Winters digs deep into Audra Charles’ past. Let’s break down all the explosive action from today’s episode!
Lily Pushes Audra for the Truth
At the GCAC, sparks flew between Lily Winters and Audra Charles. Lily pushed hard, convinced Audra was hiding something big about her past with Holden Novak. Audra tried to brush it off, claiming her connection to Holden was brief and harmless. She also denied any ties to the Aristotle Dumas scandal, but her answers didn’t convince Lily.
Feeling cornered, Audra accused Lily of building walls to keep her out of Nate Hastings’ circle. Even so, she made it clear she had no intention of leaving. After their tense exchange, Lily approached Holden at the bar and demanded answers. Holden coolly responded, accusing Lily of enjoying the thrill of digging up dirt. Although she hit back with sharp words, Holden warned her that his instincts were rarely wrong—especially about women.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Claire Slows Things Down With Kyle
Over at the Abbott mansion, Claire Newman explored the updated space with Kyle and Jack. She admired the renovations, praising Diane’s taste. Kyle then floated the idea of moving in together temporarily until they found a place of their own. While flattered, Claire took a step back.
She explained she wasn’t ready to move in just yet. Claire wanted to focus on bonding with her family first. Plus, she pointed out that staying at the Abbott house would only escalate tensions with Victor. Kyle understood and agreed to hold off. They shared a passionate moment upstairs, choosing love but staying cautious.
Victor Loses His Cool
Back at the ranch, Victor Newman met with Michael Baldwin to discuss their ongoing plans. Michael updated him on Elliot Matthison’s suspicious behavior. Matthison had recently called to apologize, but his voice had trembled. Though he claimed to have the flu, he never missed a workday. Victor didn’t like that.
Victor ordered Michael to pull Elliot from the mission immediately. But their conversation quickly turned into a heated argument. Victor accused Michael of holding him back from taking down Jabot. Michael defended his actions, reminding Victor that a good lawyer presents all the options. But Victor wasn’t hearing it.
The trust between them had already cracked during the Jordan chaos. That damage resurfaced fast. Enraged, Victor finally told Michael to leave and took a call without looking back. Hurt but determined, Michael texted Jack to meet for a drink.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Jack Offers Support
Meanwhile, Jack was already out at the jazz lounge catching up with Billy. Their conversation shifted to Billy’s concerns about Phyllis Summers. She had been pushing for Daniel to land a role that didn’t suit him, and it was creating tension. Billy respected Phyllis’s talents but admitted she seemed to be unraveling again.
Jack gave his brother some reassurance. He reminded Billy that the company was his to manage, and the decision about Phyllis was his alone. Soon after, Michael arrived and admitted he had acted on impulse by reaching out. Still, he believed the time had come to talk.
Jack listened as Michael hinted that Victor’s plans were getting more dangerous. Jack realized things were far worse than he expected. As Michael shared more, it became clear that Victor might be moving against Jack once again.
The Young and the Restless Recap teases major fallout from Michael and Jack’s meeting. If Victor learns the truth, he won’t hold back.
