On Thursday's The Young and the Restless, the claws come out, power plays go sideways, and just about everyone is either throwing shade or plotting behind someone’s back. Relationships are tense, loyalties are shaky, and we’re all just trying to figure out who’s playing who. Let’s dive into this drama-packed Y&R recap.

Abby & Amanda | Y&R, CBS SONY |
Crimson Lights Clash: Abby vs. Amanda
Abby and Amanda started off like two ex-friends trying to fake peace at Crimson Lights. But that fake smile slipped real quick. Abby had the nerve to question Amanda’s loyalty—because apparently, catching your man cheating with Abby herself wasn’t betrayal enough. Amanda reminded Miss Abby exactly who she was dealing with and dragged her memory right back to the day she came home to find Abby cozy and naked with Devon on her own couch. Abby’s “sorry” didn’t land. Amanda doesn’t want revenge, she wants peace... and maybe a killer outfit and a latte while living her best life.
Double Agents and Bad Decisions: Lily and Damian’s Risky Move
Over at the club, Lily was all set to bring Damian on as her personal spy against Dumas—until she started rethinking this whole Mission Impossible strategy. Damian’s all “I’m your guy,” while Lily’s suddenly suspicious of how Dumas keeps playing nice. She’s not buying the whole “I come in peace” message his lawyer delivered. Damian’s touched that she cares about his safety. But this isn’t about romance—it’s about not getting caught in the crossfire of whatever shady game Dumas is playing.
Society’s Serving Sass with a Side of Suspicion
Nate’s breakfast mood went from chill to side-eye real quick. He’s not a fan of Damian spying, but he is a fan of his girlfriend doing his laundry. Audra showed up to drop her latest update—Victor made a move and transferred money. Then Kyle and Claire strolled in looking like the new power couple, which made Audra visibly twitch. She pretended it didn’t bother her, but three pairs of eyes could see right through it.
Kyle, Claire, and the Audra Effect
Kyle and Claire are living their best “unlikely romance” life while Audra tries to play it cool. Nate's not buying the act and demands to know why she’s suddenly playing nice with Kyle. Especially when her company—thanks to Victor—is about to go head-to-head with Jabot. Audra says it’s just business, but Nate smells game-playing all over her power blazer.
Meanwhile, Kyle’s picking up on Claire’s not-so-subtle jealousy and trying to figure out why she’s suddenly sensitive about Audra. Claire doesn’t trust Audra or Kyle’s schemes. She wants him to shut it down before it backfires—and she can already tell it’s about to explode.
Amanda Faces the Firing Squad
Back at Crimson Lights, Amanda’s defending her loyalty like it’s her full-time job. Devon and Abby tag-team her with questions about Dumas—why he’s “protecting” them, what his real agenda is, and why he hasn’t shown his mysterious face. Amanda’s had enough. She knows Dumas won’t meet with Devon or Lily and she’s offended they don’t trust her. But let’s be honest—she’s used to being doubted. She doesn’t need their approval, she’s got bigger things to deal with.
Dumas Pulls a Plot Twist
Just when Damian thought he’d finally found his new gig, Dumas pulls the plug and says he doesn’t need him to spy anymore. Lily’s left wondering if she’s still interested in him or if he’s just another liability. Damian doesn’t care—he wants a clean slate, a real job, and maybe a chance with Lily that doesn’t come with espionage on the side.
Claire Calls It: The Endgame is Messy
Claire is not here for Kyle’s trap-a-witch plan against Audra. She doesn’t have a soft spot for Audra, but she does know when something smells like revenge in disguise. She warns Kyle to quit playing games before he burns the whole thing down. Meanwhile, Nate corners Audra for answers—what is she pulling, and what exactly is the endgame with Victor? If this is a tactical maneuver, as Claire suspects, it’s about to go off the rails in true Y&R style.
