Over at Crimson Lights, Claire swings by to see Kyle, bearing a gift—earbuds! (Nothing says “sorry my grandpa is a control freak” like tech accessories.) Despite Victor’s hostility toward Kyle, Claire reassures him that the Newman patriarch’s disapproval doesn’t define them. They share a sweet kiss, but the bliss doesn’t last long.Enter Summer, panic written all over her face. Her mother is missing, and she and Daniel have no idea where she is. As she spirals, Kyle steps in to comfort her, pulling her into a hug. And Claire? Oh, she’s looking all kinds of uncomfortable. A woman knows when another woman is leaning just a little too hard on her man, and Claire’s no fool. When Summer finally walks away, she throws one last glance at Kyle and Claire, and something tells us this isn’t the last we’ve seen of this tension.
Victor Plays Puppet Master—Again
What’s The Young and the Restless without Victor Newman pulling some strings? This time, his target is Lily. He invites her to the ranch and dangles some juicy insider info about Damian Kane. According to Victor, Damian didn’t build his empire from scratch—he acquired two companies, and the real mastermind behind it all is someone named Aristotle Dumas. Suspicious much?

Victor’s breadcrumbs leave Lily with more questions than answers, but one thing’s for sure—she’s now got a vested interest in Damian’s mysterious past. Oh, and Victor? He’s clearly not done digging. He later makes a call to Michael Baldwin, because when Victor Newman wants answers, he gets them.
Damian and Amy’s Emotional Showdown—And a Hug Years in the Making
Meanwhile, over at Nate’s place, Damian finally agrees to sit down with his mother, Amy, and it’s not exactly a warm reunion. Damian doesn’t want surface-level apologies—he wants truth. And boy, does Amy deliver.
She confesses that back when his father, Jackson, was dying, she wasn’t being cold—she was working two jobs to keep their family afloat. Turns out, Jackson had let their insurance policy lapse, and Amy had no choice but to make financial survival her priority. Damian, who always saw her absence as abandonment, now sees the weight of her sacrifice.
But there’s another bombshell hanging in the air: Jackson wasn’t Damian’s biological father—Nathan Hastings was. This revelation doesn’t magically heal years of resentment, but it’s a step forward. When Amy asks for a hug—the one Damian had wanted so badly as a child—he reluctantly agrees. Cue the tissues!

The Beginning of the End—or Just the Beginning?
As Amy processes her conversation with Damian, she admits to Nate that she doesn’t think Damian will ever fully forgive her. But Nate, ever the optimist, disagrees. He believes Damian is closer than ever to letting go of his anger—and that this might actually be the start of their healing, not the end. Amy, emotionally drained, clings to that hope.
What’s Next on The Young and the Restless?
Just when we thought things couldn’t get more chaotic, Y&R throws another curveball: Phyllis and Sharon are BOTH missing?! Buckle up, because Genoa City is about to get even messier. Will Summer and Daniel find their mother? Will Victor finally get the dirt on Damian? And will Claire and Kyle survive Summer’s sudden reappearance in his orbit?
