Billy and Sally want answers

The Young and the Restless Recap for Friday, August 16, 2024

Audra dropped in on Victor at Newman Enterprises, and she reported that Paris had been a productive "whirlwind." Audra asked why Victor wanted to meet at Newman, since their partnership was a secret. Victor said that he had a cover story, and he wanted to know what Audra had done to "provoke" Summer to sue Kyle for sole custody. Kyle walked in and said that he would like to know the answer, too.

Audra said that she had "no idea" what Victor and Kyle were talking about. Kyle reported that Summer didn't trust Audra, and Audra retorted that Kyle needed to "sort out [his] own family drama." Victor suggested that they move on to business. Kyle noted that his presence was unexpected, and he asked if Audra had been getting ready to fill Victor in on business while leaving Kyle out of the loop.

Audra explained that Kyle had been "distracted by personal issues." Audra filled Kyle and Victor in on what she had worked on in Paris. Victor suggested that Kyle and Audra begin planning the "launch party" for the company. Audra shared her ideas for the party, but Kyle disagreed with her approach. After Audra and Kyle argued for a bit, Victor reminded them that they needed to work together to figure things out.

Audra assured Victor that she and Kyle would "hash" everything out. Kyle said that he needed to discuss the custody situation with Victor before meeting Audra back at the office. Audra left.

Kyle swore that things with Audra would be "handled," and Victor replied, "Don't make me regret hiring you." Kyle said that he had "tried very hard" to work things out with Summer, but she had insisted that Kyle cut Audra out of his life. Victor asked if "getting rid of Audra" had been Kyle's idea or Summer's.

Kyle said that the idea had been Summer's, and he was struggling with how to "appease her." Victor replied that it seemed Kyle had been "fighting battles on several fronts," and Victor asked if Kyle needed "some allies."

Summer and Phyllis were at Society, and Summer recounted how upset she still was after her conversation with Kyle. Summer said that initially, Kyle had acted like he wanted to "negotiate" custody, but it had become apparent that Kyle wanted to maintain the status quo. Summer and Phyllis rehashed Kyle's recent behavior, and Summer said that she had told Kyle that he had to "cut all ties with Audra."

Phyllis agreed with Summer's feelings about Audra, but Phyllis warned that it wasn't realistic to think Kyle could walk away from Glissade or force Audra out of the company. Phyllis asked if Summer thought that Kyle and Audra "were having a personal relationship again." Phyllis speculated that Summer could be jealous of Kyle "moving on with someone else."

Summer adamantly denied that she had feelings for Kyle, and she insisted that all her concerns were regarding Harrison's welfare. Phyllis shared that she had "made a lot of mistakes" in the past because she'd been jealous of an ex. Phyllis said that it was "a pretty big ask" to tell Kyle that he had to remove Audra from his life. Phyllis wondered if Summer had been testing Kyle to see if he still cared for Summer.

Summer was annoyed that Phyllis thought Summer still cared for Kyle, and that Chance thought Summer was "out for revenge." Phyllis asked what Summer had told Chance, and Phyllis advised that Summer shouldn't talk to Chance about her previous relationship. Summer said that Chance had been "very supportive."

Phyllis said that everyone was worried about Summer, and Phyllis cautioned her daughter to "take a step back." Summer said that she needed "to think," and she left the restaurant.

Victor arrived at Society, and Phyllis asked to discuss Summer. Phyllis said that Victor never did "anything out of the goodness" of his heart. Phyllis implored Victor to leave Summer out of any schemes he had planned. Phyllis said that Victor would have to "go through" her if he involved Summer, and Victor snickered. Victor said that Phyllis was being "ridiculous," but Phyllis wanted to know what Victor had said to Kyle. Victor replied, "None of your business," and he walked away.

At Chancellor-Park, Billy and Sally overheard Chelsea reference "that one night." Connor returned, and he said hello to Sally and Billy. Sally and Billy said that they had wanted to see how Connor was doing. After Connor said that he'd been doing better, he said that he was tired and asked to go home. Adam, Chelsea, and Connor left.

Billy and Sally compared notes about what they had heard Chelsea say when they had walked up. Sally said, "Maybe something did happen between them." Sally started speculating about what could be going on, and Billy said that they shouldn't "jump to conclusions" yet.

After dropping Connor off upstairs for a nap, Chelsea and Adam discussed whether Sally and Billy had overheard their conversation. Adam suggested that they not "panic," but Chelsea started spiraling with concerns. Adam told Chelsea that she had to maintain their lie, but Chelsea said that she couldn't "do this anymore."

Chelsea and Adam continued disagreeing on how best to handle the situation. As Adam put his head down in frustration, Billy entered the coffeehouse. Billy said that he needed to speak with Chelsea, but Adam said that it wasn't "a good time." Although Chelsea looked concerned, she told Adam to go home to Sally. Adam left.

Billy told Chelsea that he had overheard what she had said to Adam at the park. Billy said that something was tearing Chelsea up inside, and he insisted she tell him the truth.

When Adam returned to his apartment, Sally was waiting. Adam talked about Connor for a minute, and then he asked if Sally was okay. Sally said that it was time for Adam to tell her what had happened.

At the jazz lounge, Nate greeted Audra with a kiss. Audra seemed a bit taken aback, and she reminded Nate that they were keeping "things casual." Audra happily filled Nate in on her time in Paris, where she had been "on fire." Nate said that it sounded like Audra hadn't needed Kyle's help, and she agreed, saying that she wished she could "get rid" of Kyle. Nate asked who the mystery owner was, but Audra again refused to tell him.

Audra told Nate that Kyle was trying to "sabotage" her. Nate encouraged Audra to "play [things] smart." Audra agreed that she needed to "stay focused," and she thanked Nate for his help. Audra asked Nate to buy her dinner.

At the Athletic Club restaurant, Audra promised to stop talking about work. Audra asked what it would "look like" if she and Nate had a real "relationship." Nate described what a relationship should be like, and he said that he wanted "to be there" for Audra. Audra spotted Kyle entering the restaurant, and she said, "Uh oh."

Kyle approached, and Audra commented about Kyle staying behind to talk to the boss alone. Audra asked how "badly" Kyle had thrown her "under the bus."
