(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for October 6, 2022 episode airs in the USA on October 7. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
At Crimson Lights, Billy tries to ply Johnny with pastries. Johnny ate at home. He sees through his ploy. He must have read the same handbook on how to deal with your kid when he learns who his bio mom is.
Chelsea eavesdrops as father and son talk.
Billy’s trying to be protective. Johnny thinks it’s unnecessary but Billy worries that this will become a problem down the role.
Johnny’s not freaked out about it. If his dad wants him to scream or cry, it’s not going to happen.
He doesn’t want to ruminate on it daily and talking about it won’t change it. Billy promises nothing will change. Nobody will force him into anything. Johnny hopes he means it.
Billy agrees that it’s his son’s call. They won’t talk about it. Johnny gets up and says he’s meeting his class at Chancellor Park for some nature class or something. He refuses to let Billy walk him there.
Billy thinks it’s because he’ll be embarrassed when Billy yells out, “Hey Johnny, I love you!” He teases his son before he goes.
Once Johnny’s outside, Chelsea rushes after him.
Later, Adam gets coffee from Sharon, who asks how things are with him and Sally.
They’re over, he says. She’s sorry. She thought they had potential. She reveals that her conversation with Chelsea yesterday was disturbing. She hates to break Chelsea’s confidence but admits she told her she needed therapy.
It didn’t go over well. She might be more open to Adam. He tried and they both agree she’s been spiraling for a while. He was responsible for the first breakdown. He thinks he’s missing something.
He doesn’t get how this led her to have a new fixation on Johnny. Sharon says she’s adrift, looking for someone to make her feel whole. They agree it’s unfair to Johnny. Sharon doesn’t think she’s intentionally malicious.
At the club, Noah does accounting when Allie turns up.
He’s not happy because he comped a lot of people and because of it, the club took a massive hit.
He thought that in the long run, he’d have loyal guests return.
Allie thinks it’s a good idea and calls his place amazing.
Just like him. They smooch. He tells her that he didn’t invite Audra and hasn’t communicated with her since he left London.
Allie isn’t concerned a bit.
At Society, Abby tries to get Chance’s attention but it’s on his phone. She talks to him about Tucker’s return. She doesn’t want him near their son. He heard about the helicopter and crashing the wedding.
Neighbors of Jack’s complained about the noise. He laughs. He doesn’t think Tucker could negatively influence a toddler. Abby snipes that he needs to back her up on this. Under no circumstance is Tucker allowed near their son.
He thinks she’s being melodramatic and she doesn’t like that he’s not supporting her. Chase thinks he could be a good grandparent. They should let go of the past. It’s all he can handle to focus on the present.
His priority has to be work and family. She snipes about being grateful that family made the top two which causes Chase to roll his eyes that she’s “on that” again. “Do not read into the order I say things.”
She should know family is most important. She doesn’t feel it lately. He asks her to consider her reason for not wanting Tucker around. He has to go to his meeting. She thought it wasn’t for a few hours.
He shrugs. “I must have misspoken.” He kisses her cheek. Devon turns up.
They talk about Tucker’s return and how he says he’s there to reconnect but it’s thrown both Devon and Abby. Devon wishes he had a closer relationship with his bio-dad, especially with Neil being gone, but it’s hard to trust him.
With Chancellor-Winters doing so well, his sudden return is suspect. He wonders what his real agenda is.
At Newman Enterprises, Victoria and Nikki talk about Johnny dealing with learning Chelsea is his bio mother.
Nikki thinks her daughter is handling herself with poise. She’s compartmentalizing and overwhelmed.
They discuss Tucker going after all companies last time he was in town. Vicky thinks he’s back because Chancellor-Winters is going public.
Later, Billy pokes his head in to let his ex know about his morning with Johnny.
Vicky wonders how Chelsea will react when she realizes her “little scenario isn’t going her way.” Billy calls her fragile. Vicky thinks they need to keep Johnny from her. It’s the safest. Billy agrees but he’s still worried about Chelsea. Vicky says Chelsea needs to pull herself together and stop using their own as her crutch.
