The Young and the Restless Recap - Tuesday, June 17, 2025 | Victor and Billy Clash in France While Sharon Glows and Audra Schemes

Tuesday's The Young and the Restless takes the drama to the South of France where three families get tangled up in mystery, rivalry and a whole lot of sass. While Victor seethes and Billy struts, Sharon radiates peace in paradise and Audra's got her eyes set on domination. With secret notes, missing hosts and designer shoes stuck in hedges, Monday's recap has all the jet-set mess you didn’t know you needed.

Victor’s Not Here for Maze Games or Billy Boy’s Mouth

Victor Newman is over it. The man came to the South of France for answers, not a boutique amusement park. Unfortunately, he has to hike through an outdoor maze first and Nikki’s stilettos are barely surviving. While Sharon enjoys the whimsy and Nick reminisces about losing Faith in a hay maze, Victor’s busy grilling Carter about who got there first. Surprise, it’s Billy and Sally, already locking lips and giggling in the bushes like teens on spring break. Victor is not amused, and things go downhill fast when Billy starts mouthing off. Apparently, Aristotle Dumas invited him personally, which Billy finds hilarious and Victor finds offensive. Nick jumps in to cool things down because someone’s got to keep the testosterone from boiling over.

Billy Launches a Media Empire While Sharon Just Wants Snacks

Billy’s mind is half on romance and half on brand expansion. He’s snapping photos of the maze like it’s his next cover story and kissing Sally in between shots. Meanwhile, Sharon and Nick are busy being adorable and emotionally stable, of all things. She calls him a good man, he beams, and they literally follow the smell of food to the center of the maze. Sharon’s soaking up the vibes, Nick’s munching on appetizers, and both agree Nikki is hating every second. Sharon shrugs it off, but Nikki’s not shy about voicing her opinion. She doesn’t like that Nick brought Sharon, and she absolutely does not want to see a romantic reconciliation. Victor suspects the French air might lead to exactly that. Cue Nikki looking like she’s going to need to actually drink some of that champagne that’s around to get through this trip.

Audra’s Got Champagne and a Grudge, Diane’s Got No Patience

Over on the Abbott track, Audra’s stirring up trouble with every step. Diane’s already regretting this train ride, especially when Audra starts trash-talking Summer and turning perfume wars into verbal ones. Kyle tries to play it cool, but Audra’s aiming to win and she makes it clear: underestimate her and it’s game over. Diane tries to rein it in, but Kyle’s intrigued. Of course he is. The moment their ride ends, Audra’s leading the charge to the food table like it’s the boardroom at Jabot. Diane’s not thrilled about the idea of walking in behind their supposed rivals, but at this point, hunger wins.

Phyllis Crashes the Party While Dumas Ghosts the Room

Finally, because what’s a luxury drama-fest without her, Phyllis struts onto the train like it’s Fashion Week. She reads her mysterious “wait and hope” note, grabs a bottle of bubbly and toasts herself, naturally. Back in the maze, Carter finally reappears with a dramatic flair and zero actual answers. Turns out Mr. Dumas’ flight from Oslo is delayed and he won’t be arriving until tomorrow. Typical. Everyone’s supposed to eat, drink and soak up the vibes until further notice. Nikki immediately wonders if this was all a scam, while Victor practically twirls his mustache. And somewhere, watching it all unfold like an episode of reality TV, Aristotle Dumas is tuned in, champagne in hand. Certainly, caviar's within reach.
