Soaps Spoilers has the Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for Thursday, November 18, 2021 episode, which airs in the USA Friday, November 19. (Recaps live by 5:45 PM EST daily.) In the previous episode, Abby learns Chance is alive. In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Ashley learns that Abby got in touch with Devon, Phyllis thinks she may have feelings for Jack, and Ashley’s off to Spain.
Devon takes Dominic home and Ashley fawns all over him. He tells her that he heard from Abby and gives her the note to read. Devon defends Abby, knowing she’s thinking with her heart. He did the exact same thing when he heard Hilary was dead. Ashley finds it too risky.
At the hotel, Abby tells someone that if she charters this jet, they can tell nobody about it, especially Victor Newman. “Whatever your silence costs, I’m willing to pay.” She’s headed to Spain. “One passenger heading there, and two coming back.”
At Grand Phoenix, Phylis thinks about drunken Jack telling her she’s the most captivating woman he has ever known. Jack watches Phyllis work and scares her when he says hello. He asks how she is. She insists she’s fine. He’s her friend, he can check on her, she tells him. She asks if he saw the ChanceComm article on Locke and that Gaines guy retracting his story?
Jack gets a call. His meeting has been canceled. He tells Phyllis that their relationship has been strained because he confessed his feelings to her, now that she’s not with Nick. He assumes that it’ll change and things won’t be awkward at some point. She’s about to say something when he takes off.
Lauren arrives and scares the heck out of Phyllis. She’s treating her buyer who is coming to town and asks for Phyllis’ help in treating her. Phyllis gets thoughtful. “It’s hard to know what any of us like,” she says. Lauren asks if she’s having second thoughts about Nick. She denies that. It’s over. Being single has her off-kilter. Lauren knows she’ll always care about Nick like she’s always cared about Jack.
Phyllis suddenly gets an idea for her buyer and leaves the room. She returns with a list of cool things for the buyer to do and when Lauren pressures her, she admits she’s having thoughts about Jack since Amanda mentioned that she might have feelings for her. Lauren doesn’t think their relationship has ever been platonic. They’ve always had an undeniable, unbreakable connection. Phyllis sighs. She doesn’t know what to do with the thoughts that pop into her head. Lauren knows he’s missing someone special in his life.
Phyllis hopes she’s not implying that they should reunite. Lauren says they married twice and have never been out of each other’s lives. “We have a very special friendship,” Phyllis tells her friend. Lauren wonders if her issues with Sally also stem from her feelings for Jack. Was she a little jealous? Phyllis puts her head in her hand and wonders, “What if I do want more than friendship with Jack?” Lauren suggests she proceed with caution.

Billy tells Jack about bringing Gaines to Tuscany to ensure Victoria knew the truth about Ashland. Victor and Adam found him and flipped him to their side. “Jesse Gaines cares more about his bank account than anyone else.” Billy yells that he made a deal with the double-dealer himself and never meant to release that article. It blows his mind that nobody understands that the only thing he was trying to do was find out the truth. He calls them criminals. He gambled because that’s what you do in business, and he lost. Jack’s not there to condemn him but he’s concerned about his reference to gambling. He reminds his brother of how he risked it all and lost his job as CEO of Jabot. He put everything they built in jeopardy. Lily and Jill deserve better as do his kids. Billy asks him to tread lightly. Jack says he needs to turn this around. Billy says he has. He told Victor he would step down at ChanceComm if Vic left Lily and the company alone. Lily walks in, “You did what?” Jack gives them space and Lily starts yelling at Billy, telling him he can’t make a decision that so profoundly affects ChanceComm without even talking to her about it first. He was trying to do the right thing. Victor said he’d consider it. Lily can’t believe she trusts him. “Now you’ve left me to fend off the vultures on my own,” she snaps. She takes off out the door.
Victor arrives at the Chancellor estate and Devon tells him and Ashley about how Nanny Louise was with him when that note was dropped off. Victor assumes she knew they’d try to stop her if they knew what she was up to. Victor vows that he’ll put his people on this and she’ll be found. Victor assumes she chartered a plane.
