Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for Wednesday, December 8, 2021 episode, which airs in the USA Thursday, December 9. (Recaps live by 5:45 PM EST daily.) In the previous episode, A mysterious woman spied on Billy. In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Abby and Chance share romance, Amanda and Devon have a little time alone, and Nick and Victor work out their issues.

Abby finds the living room set up for romance. Lit candles are everywhere. Abby apologizes for taking so long to get Dominic down to sleep. Chance pours champagne and says he asked Dom for help to keep her occupied so he could set things up. She jokes about their son scheming at such a young age. Chance grins.

He says Dom even gave the nanny the night off. They laugh and since Jill’s in Chicago tonight, they get to be alone. They kiss and drink champagne, talk and laugh. They dance in each other’s arms. They make out and the clothes start coming off and they make love on the sofa.

After, they talk about how he left her with a letter and without saying goodbye. She says she gets it. It’s his sense of duty and one of the things she fell in love with. He thinks there might have been more to it. Some had to do with what was going on with us. Abby furrows her brow. Later, she’s in her dress again and he’s in a blanket, shirtless. He explains that he didn’t want to leave her. He felt he let her down. “You’re the perfect husband,” she says.

Chance denies that. He couldn’t give her a baby. It was almost a relief to him going on a mission because he knew he was good at it. He thought he was. He expected it’d last a month. Both of them assumed he’d be home before Dominic was born. She’s not angry about that.

She has no room for that in her heart. She’s happy he’s home. They make out.  The baby hiccups and makes baby sounds and they snuggle and reminisce about living in the hotel and talking all night. She yawns, then asks how to make the transition on him easier. He tells her she’s doing all she can. She falls asleep and later, he leaves.

Devon comes down the stairs of the penthouse and finds Amanda with a bottle of wine in her hand and romantic jazz playing. The table is set for two. She made some shrimp for him that has a kick to hit. She hopes he can handle the heat. “You know the answer to that,” he says, suggestively. She explains that he can’t get used to it because after she opens the new firm, she’ll be busy.

She reveals Moses is out with Nat. It’s just the two of them. Later, Devon compliments her on dinner and they talk about Dominic. She loved seeing the fatherly side of him. It was sweet and nurturing and “sexy as hell.” He’s just happy to be able to step up. Amanda asks how he feels now that Dominic’s gone. He misses him every day. “I miss him so much that it hurts.” Amanda calls it normal. Devon recollects learning what the baby needed by the little sounds he made.

Chance will learn all of it. He’s happy Chance is back. It’s just that everyone assumed he’d take that role. Abby even said that he’s the only father Dom would know. Devon started to let himself believe that Dominic would call him dad. He’s not going to and Devon says he has to let go of that idea. He hasn’t figured out how yet. They embrace and kiss and after making love, Amanda’s asleep while Devon sneaks out for some air.
