(Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for Oct 16, 2023 episode airs in the USA on Oct 17. Live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Kyle and Audra have sex in her suite. After, she asks him why they ever stopped so he reminds her she fired him.
They kiss and she changes the subject.
Although she suspects his first instinct will be to say no, she has a proposition.
Before making it, she asks if he’s convinced his father to give him Billy’s job.
Angrily, he says it’s a non-starter.
Kyle assumes his dad doesn’t think he has what it takes. He’s feeling pushed out of the family.
Why is she so interested in this?
He prompts her to get back to her risky proposition. They have sex.
Once that’s out of the way, she tells him they have no more sneaking around to do. It will be just them.
She explains she might be able to offer him a position at Jabot.
That confuses him.
She’s offering the job he wants and tells him his family only owns the company for now.
“What are you asking me to do?” he asks.
She wants him to join her alliance with Tucker.
One way or another, Tucker will get his hands on the company.
He asks if she was playing him.
She urges him to hear her out and admits that McCall offered her the top job.
They could run Jabot together.
He won’t betray his parents. She says he doesn’t owe them.
This sounds insane to him but she thinks it’s an opportunity for both of them.
She isn’t exactly hearing a “no.”
As they dress, he asks what makes her think she won’t tell his father about this.
She’s sure he knows this makes sense and asks him to think of himself rather than accept crumbs from his family.
He thinks what she’s proposing would blow up his family.
She says they could keep his family dynasty alive.
Kyle points out she’s not family.
She repeats this could be the chance of a lifetime for him and his family won’t give it to him.
Billy arrives at the Abbott estate and Jack informs him that Tucker’s bonsai had a listening device in it.
McCall is still after them.
Their sister did almost the same thing years ago.
Phyllis tipped Jack off this time.
That makes Billy suspicious.
Jack agrees but the information she gave them is useable.
Part of him thinks she wants to redeem herself since she’s tired of people crossing the street when they see her.
Billy remains skeptical and is sure Tucker is using her.
His brother thinks they need to look past her motivations as long as what she does benefits them.
Billy wonders what hold Tucker must have on her.
Her lies will catch up on her and that must be exhausting.
Jack is sure that Phyllis is trying to win back her children.
That’s to their benefit.
He says Tucker doesn’t know they are onto him about the listening device and they can use it for misdirection.
Billy is sure McCall would see through that.
He thinks they should release all the dirt they have on Tucker to show they are not backing down.
Kyle rushes in. His father senses something is wrong.
