This is the Canadian Y&R day ahead recap from the Friday, June 11, 2021 episode, which airs in the USA Monday, June 14. In the previous episode, Tara turned down Lauren’s job offer, because she couldn’t handle working and going through a divorce, she claimed, and in today’s episode, Kyle meets a handsome father and his son, Ashland and Victoria talk about his bad news, and Summer is impatient with Tara.
Jack arrives at Crimson Lights, surprised to see Summer. She could have stayed with them but Summer did some wedding planning. Jack’s thrilled they moved the date to August. She debates what type of cake to use and he thinks it’s a question for the groom. He invites her back to the house.
At the house, Tara tells Kyle that the custody offer came in. Things look like they will be resolved amicably. She theorizes that it’s because Ash is spending time with Victoria Newman. “Wow,” Kyle says. Tara thinks he may be losing interest in punishing her.
At the hotel in New York, Victoria notices Ashland seems distracted. They drink red wine and talk about her time in Italy. She asks if he’d do something like that. He lets her know he heard from his doctor and it turns out it’s too late for that. For a lot of things. He tells her that they did an x-ray when they found small cell lung carcinoma in the advanced stages. “They’re giving me six months.” Victoria whispers, “Oh my God. Ashland. I’m so sorry.” He says there are treatments with a 10% success rate. He doesn’t want to prolong his life if he’ll be miserable. He doesn’t want to put his kid through seeing his father frail, in pain and suffering. He didn’t tell her because he didn’t think she’d believe him. “You never would have invented something like this,” she says. He’s glad she has that outlook of him and apologizes for dumping this on her. They barely know each other. He feels she’s not a stranger at all. She asks if this changes things with Tara. He says it’s why he’s not going after full custody. Vikki asks if they could reconcile. “Til death do us part?” Ash says it’s too late. Harrison’s young and he’ll miss him for a while but in time, memories fade and he’ll forget about him. He’ll grow up thinking Kyle’s his dad. Ash calls Kyle sincere but gullible. Ashland asks if Summer will be a good stepmother. Victoria has no idea but knows she likes kids. Her family will support them. Later, Ash jumps on a call for business. He apologizes to Victoria later. She shrugs it off and tells him to make every moment count.
