(Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for Oct 19, 2023 episode airs in the USA on Oct 20. Live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Claire joins Nikki in her office at Newman Media and says she’s arranged for a masseuse to meet her at home.
Nikki likes how she takes care of her.
Claire likes working for her. She’s waited a long time for this. Nikki says she’s already proven she can be trusted.
They discuss her settling into Genoa City again. Nikki is impressed to hear she’s been making new friends. She hopes that will keep her in town.
Claire won’t walk away from her dream job and tells her what an amazing opportunity this is.
She insists on locking up so Nikki can go home early.
Nikki thinks she’s an angel and takes off.
Claire stares at the photo of Nikki and Victoria.
Adam is baffled when he walks into the GCAC and Victor calls him over, tells him he’s looking good and asks him to sit down.
Victor tells him he’s doing damn well and pumps his fists. He tells him how highly Nate thinks of him.
His son says it’s not a very challenging job.
Off the record, Adam tells him Nate likes to remind him he’s under his thumb.
After looking around, Victor tells him he has strong suspicions that Nate is conspiring with Victoria to push him out and take over the company.
Adam is sure his sister resents her demotion, but why does he think she’s pursuing a plot?
His father has overheard things and suspects she’s trying to make it seem like he’s lost his marbles.
Adam admits that’s a really possibility given how shrewd Nate and his sister are.
This is what Victor feared. That’s why he talked to Nick to convince him to return to Newman to keep an eye on her.
Adam doesn’t like the sound of that and wonders if his brother has his own agenda.
His father claims that Victoria talked him into coming back by claiming that he’s losing it.
Crossing his arms, Victor says it breaks his heart that his children are conspiring against him for some stupid reason.
“Shame on them both,” says Adam. His father asks him to be his ally.
Adam wants to be on his team and get him whatever he needs.
They lock hands.

New! Y&R spoilers into October
Michael, Gloria and Kevin back to Y&R
Chloe finds Sally sitting at Society. She hopes that she’s worked things out with Nick and ended things with Adam.
Sally says Nick is avoiding her. Her friend thinks he just needs to cool down but Spectra thinks there might be no way forward.
Chloe tells her not to freak out but Sally explains that she has unresolved feelings for Adam and his brother knows it.
This infuriates Chloe, who offers to be non-judgmental.
Her friend explains that she tore into Adam but then admitted to him she can’t let him go.
Chloe is sure she gave him exactly what he wanted and says that Adam is barely even a person.
Why is she giving him all this power?
The life lesson she suggests she take from this is that letting people know how you feel is not always the right idea.
If that person is Adam, they will use it to break your heart.
Sally says her brain was jumbled and she just blurted things out. Later, she realized she screwed up.
Her friend urges her to forget it ever happened and go fix things with Nick.
If she lets him slip away, she could lose her new business as well as the best man she’s ever known.
At Crimson Lights, Nick asks Sharon for her professional take.
He thinks there is something wrong with his dad.
He fills her in on all of the recent lapses that his father has had with him and his siblings.
When confronted, he shrugs it off.
These memory lapses are a complete shock.
He and his sister talked to Nikki but she doesn’t want to talk about it.
They also tried talking to Victor but that only pushed him into a rage.
Are they just overreacting to someone getting older?
She can’t speculate and isn’t a specialist.
Sharon suggests that they set up a way for her to meet with his father to see how he is.
Nick says he keeps checking on his father to monitor him. She hopes that won’t take too much time away from their business.
He’s reassuring and adds she could handle it all on her own.
He makes it clear he won’t go back to Newman.
Nick is starting to feel like a bad luck charm but is sure things will get better once things with his dad are sorted out.
She points out he doesn’t have Sally to talk to and gives him undesired advice.
Sharon tells him to deal with his unresolved feelings before they blow up.
He insists that the problem is Adam and the pull that he has over Sally.
He can’t compete with that and needs to move on while she sorts out what’s in her head.
His focus right now is his dad and their business.
She wonders if he’s backing out of his business with Sally.
He’s not sure. Pulling the funding seems like an Adam thing to do.
Sharon suggests he talk to Sally about that at least. Nick thinks she’s right.
After she walks off, he calls Sally and asks to meet.
At Society, Sally thanks Nick for calling.
Chloe tells her friend this is a good sign and Nick is a good guy.
She thinks this meeting could change her whole life and takes a deep breath.
At the jazz club, Nikki goes on and on about how drama-free Claire is to Victor until she notices he’s not paying attention.
He apologizes. A conversation he had earlier with Adam is on his mind.
He planted the idea that Victoria and Nate are plotting against him.
Nikki’s sure he loved hearing that.
Victor says he pledged his allegiance to him a little too quickly.
His wife repeats that she hates this plan and how it will hurt people.
He’s going to learn things he doesn’t want to know.
He insists that he needs to know and will soon find out if Victoria or Adam make a move.
She’s sure that if anyone is plotting against him, it’s Adam.
“I’ll find out soon enough,” he says.
As she looks at him thinking, she sends Victoria a text, asking to meet.
Sally arrives at the GCAC in her silver shorts.
She notices Adam at the bar and walks over.
He was going to call but thought she needed some time.
He can’t get what she said out of his mind.
She tells him to try and remember there is no future for them.
Nick arrives. Adam is not happy she is there to see his brother.
Spectra asks him to respect her and leave this alone.
He claims he respects her more than she respects herself and their love deserves a chance.
She refuses to have this conversation and misses him. He exits.
Sally joins Nick, who immediately makes it clear this is a business conversation.
She assumes he’s pulling the plug and has lost faith in her business sense too.
He’s not pulling out. He thought of it but he doesn’t want to be that guy.
He still believes in her talent.
Sally asks how things got off track between them.
He insists it’s not because of him. Nick was praying Adam would fade away but he was always there.
If she doesn’t figure out what she wants, she’ll never be happy.
She tells him how confused she’s been.
That’s not on Nick. He knew what he wanted and he can’t keep doing this.
In her suite at the GCAC, Claire drinks wine and goes through her stack on Newman press articles.
Adam goes to his father’s office and pours himself a drink before sitting at the big chair and looking at his father’s portrait.
Looking in the drawer, he finds a pad with a drawing on a snake on it.
“What the hell is going on with you dad?” he wonders.
