(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for the August 23, 2022 episode airs in the USA on August 24. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)

At home, Victoria’s prepared for her video conference to explain that the last acquisitions will allow them to eliminate redundancies and give them more money to grow. She has her eye on several, maybe five or ten acquisitions.

Nikki’s shocked but Victoria says they’re smaller fold-in acquisitions.

Nikki worries about the timing — that she hasn’t had time to process Locke’s death. Victoria needs to recover this way.

They weren’t focused on the company when Ashland was around and she wants them to know they’re on track.

Nick meets with Sally at her office. She heard about the video call.

Nick tells her he’s there to tell her the case about Locke is closed. She’s glad because it was giving her stress.

She tells him about her run-in with his brother and how it disgusted her.

Nick’s sorry for the way his brother treated her. She’s grateful to Chloe for reminding her of Adam’s past misgivings.

Nick’s glad she’s listening because “other friends of hers haven’t.”

They assume Adam will go to Chance and Abby to get information. Nick’s grateful for the information.

Since he’ll be late for the video conference, Sally invites him to listen to hers.

Victor wants to commend Chance for ending the Locke case. Chance says there’s no need to put Victoria through more trauma. He believes Nick acted in self-defense but he doesn’t condone what Victor did.

He’s had to commit crimes that should have been investigated.

They agree they had extenuating circumstances.

Victor calls him a good cop. He knows. But he’d better not see Victor crossing the line again.

He’ll ensure he’s held accountable. Victor scoffs. He’d do it all over again. He’s been in jail before.

Chance heard. He and his family look up to him and he advises him to consider that. Victor does. He sends the cop off.

New Y&R comings and goings for August


At Dive Bar, Chelsea accuses Chloe of making her accusations each time she talks to a man.

She did it with Rey. Chloe knows what she saw with Rey. Chelsea claims they were friends and the same goes with Billy. She deflects. Talk turns to jokes about how hot Rey was. “He could interrogate me all night long,” Chloe says.

Chelsea laughs. Chloe thinks Rey was the rebound and now, Chles is lonely. Chelsea’s hurt and asks if her friend will ever see her differently. Chloe talks about lines being blurred. “Trust me, I know,” she says.

Billy turns on the Abbott charm and you start to think every little thing means more. Chelsea accuses Chloe of feeling it. Chloe knows she gets it, too.

Chelsea feels insulted and throws Chloe’s own history in her face.

Adam eavesdrops as Chelsea barks, “Let me live my life, please!” Chloe apologizes and says it’s not the first time her imagination has run wild.

Chloe has to leave but they agree to talk later when she’s cooled down.

Once she’s gone, Adam turns up. “That looked intense,” he says. He thought they were becoming BFFs again. She shrugs it off and takes a potshot at him for not having friends.

She accuses him of eavesdropping but he claims he wasn’t. He tells her he found the podcast provocative.

Billy was annoying as ever but she liked how she “poked holes in his highly inflated ego.”

She thanks her ex and tells him Billy’s dumped the podcast.

In Chancellor Park, Kevin tries to get Adam off his scent. Adam knows what he heard and talks about right and wrong. Kevin scoffs at Adam of all people dispensing moral guidance.

Adam says Victor won’t protect Kevin.

He’s the perfect fall guy. Dumb, trusting and with a history of shady behavior.

Kevin thinks Adam was the one dumb and trusting and now that his dad turned his back, he wants help getting his dad payback.

Kevin refuses and takes off, leaving Adam to call someone for a favor.

Back at Vicky’s, she starts the video conference. Nick says a few words about being happy to work with the rest of the team.

Victoria agrees and Nick turns his screen to Sally to watch, along with Nikki, from Victoria’s sofa. Vicky talks about being strong and resilient as a company and that she’s ready to reap the rewards of their work.

Victor watches from home, smiling. Victoria goes on about what each will do before she calls it productive and asks the team to keep the good ideas coming.

Later, in Sally’s office, she can’t believe what a force Victoria is. Adam used to tell her she was a spoiled princess.

Now, she sees otherwise. She’s a “warrior princess.” Nick nods. Adam has a way of distorting the truth.

Sally’s inspired to keep Newman Media a success. He’s glad she’s on their team.

Nick finds Victoria at the park. She’s avoiding the office, waiting for the rumors about Locke to be toned down.

He gets it. He tells her the meeting went well and she shows him the list of the companies she wants to buy. He worries it’s too much so she agrees to show him the numbers.

She also tells him that he’s made her feel like she can do this.

She calls him, “just the absolute best,” and reminds him of how he saved her.

She knows that together, there’s nothing they can’t accomplish.

Nikki arrives home. “Hi baby,” Victor says. She tells him about the video conference but he heard it all.

He didn’t have his camera on because he didn’t want to detract from her. She asks his opinion. He’s into it. He thinks it’s a sign that she’s fully recovered.

Victor is proud of his kid and approves and they talk at great length about this and about watching their kids flourish.

They’re grateful Ashland didn’t drive a wedge between them. “Except for Adam,” he reminds his wife. He sighs about trying to integrate him into the family.

At the coffee house, Chloe comes upon Kevin who is frantic. He’s on a call with someone and tells them it’s about that he was in the library and when he returned to his car, it had been broken into.

His laptop was inside and it was stolen, that it has official Genoa City Police Department files inside. Chloe’s shocked. 

Lucas (played by Aaron Schwartz) is invited into Adam’s suite and he hands over Kevin’s bag. Adam takes out the laptop and gives Lucas the bag.
