Soaps Spoilers has the Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for the Monday, October 4, 2021 episode, which airs in the USA Tuesday, October 5. (Recaps uploaded live by 5:45 PM EST daily.) In the previous episode, Victoria compared Ashland to Billy. In this episode, Mariah yells at Tessa, Billy gets more information on Camila’s will, and Ashland’s ready to tell Victoria the rest of his secrets.
At Society, Adam gloats to Billy that Victoria finally found a man worthy of her. He looks forward to toasting at her wedding. Billy looks glum. When he learns Adam was invited, he doubts it when Adam shares that his sister invited him herself. Billy hints at having inside information that she has pre-wedding jitters. Adam has more faith in his ex than he does. “I think my sister’s deeply in love. For the first time in a long time, she knows what she’s doing.” Later, once he’s alone, Adam calls his dad to update him that Billy may not leave things alone with Ash and Victoria’s wedding. Victor asks his son to help stop him. He’s not sure he’s the right one for the job. Victoria’s barely tolerating inviting him to the wedding. Moneybags attempts to convince him that helping to stop Billy Boy will go a long way to making Victoria feel easier.
In her room at Grand Phoenix, Sally shows Chloe the dress she created for Victoria. Chloe is bowled over. “It is to die for!” Chloe asks how she’ll see it. Sally says once she does, she knows Victoria will love it. Chloe offers to call her and slightly lie to get Victoria over there, even to take a look at the gown. It’ll put Newman Media’s fashion department on the map. Chloe calls Victoria and learns that she and Ash are already in Tuscany. Sally is crushed. She decides to go to Tuscany to bring the dress to Victoria.
Alicia shows Victoria and Ashland the Palazzo. They tell her that she and Nikki did a wonderful job. It’s beautiful. As beautiful and breathtaking as the woman he wants to marry. She shows them the bedroom and they swoon over the beauty and character. Alicia says, “Congratulazioni,” and goes. Victoria admits to Ash that her dad deeded her the palazzo to them as a wedding gift. Ash finds that quite a gift and thinks this means there will still be a wedding. Victoria still has questions about him. He doesn’t want to push things. Victoria says despite learning about his past, she still loves him. He realizes now he should have been more forthcoming. Vicky gets why he didn’t but she hates lies. She grew up with a father who kept things from his father and lived with Billy and his gambling and lies for many years. Ashland knows he’s made huge mistakes. He wants to set them right — to make this work. “There’s one more thing that I need to tell you.” He wants to tell her how he made his fortune but knows she must be hungry. He asks her to shelve this for now. “You’re probably going to want a glass of wine or two.”

She’s upset to hear they had to call the pediatrician. “Poor baby.” She seems surprised to hear Abby called him. Abby appears and Mariah tells her she wanted to explain that she moved out because she’s struggling and that she’s feeling a little better. She asks what Abby did to treat Dom. “He’s fine. Yeah, we got it treated,” she says, uneasily. When he cries, Abby lifts him up and gives him a bottle. Mariah tells them she’s scheduled to leave for Italy soon but she’ll pump a lot before they go. Abby admits she isn’t going. Dom’s too young to go and she doesn’t want to leave him with a nanny. She also thinks it’s a good time to switch Dominic to formula. Mariah’s shocked. She says it’s fine.
