This is the Canadian Y&R day ahead recap from the Friday, May 28, 2021 episode, which airs in the USA Monday, May 31. In the previous episode, Summer postpones the wedding while a paternity test is done to confirm if Harrison’s Kyle’s kid. In today’s episode, Ashland storms the Abbott mansion yelling, Sally schemes, and Victor has a proposal for his sons.
Phyllis visits Summer in her suite. Summer’s feeling down. Everything’s getting to her. Phyllis has been on both ends of the scenario and thinks it’s wise to put the wedding on hold. “It doesn’t feel wise at the moment. It feels like a huge mistake,” she says. It’d be easier to survive this if they were married. Phyllis doesn’t like that Tara floated the idea of moving to GC. “That’s news. Let’s not overreact now,” she says, almost to herself. Phyllis wants her kid to be honest with herself. Summer admits when she sees Kyle with Tara, she wonders if there’s something there that Kyle can’t admit to himself. She’s not sure if it’s insecurity she’s feeling or what. She trusts Kyle. She won’t let this destroy them.

Jack lets him in. “Where is my son?” Tara asks him not to take her son from her. He asks why she’d run to her lover’s family home. “Maybe you and Kyle aren’t exes after all?” Jack butts in and Ash doesn’t appreciate that. Kyle appears and tells him they’re supporting Tara. Ashland yells that he has no right to interfere. Ashland reminds her she’s keeping her son from him and he asks to see him. “You know he needs to see me, too.” Tara agrees to it as long as he keeps quiet about their divorce. He won’t mention that, his Mommy’s lies or her affair. Kyle snipes, “Watch it.” They head upstairs to see the kid, while Jack coaches Kyle on when to keep his mouth shut.
