In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Sharon urges Chance to take his cues from children, Daniel gets Lily to open up about Billy, and Abby tells Dom all will be well.

(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for December 12, 2022 episode airs in the USA December 13. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)

At Society, Lily tells Daniel she’s fine but he realizes that’s not the case.

She claims there is a law against talking about current relationship issues with an ex.

He promises to forget the whole conversation as though it never happened. They may be exes, but they are also friends.

She admits that she feels like she is losing Billy. It feels like something has changed.

He wonders if this has something to do with the Abbotts destructive habits.

Lily isn’t sure. She knows he’s helping someone having a hard time and that help has excluded all else. There’s a weird dependency.

Daniel says it sounds like she’s being left on the back burner.

She feels like she’s oversharing but admits that Billy is everything you could want in a partner.

“Until he isn’t,” Daniel adds, listing a few of his flaws. Is he falling into old patterns?

That’s what she suspects.

He assures her none of this is her fault. She and Lily aren’t losing each other, she’s just too nice.

Billy’s choices just aren’t compatible with a long-term relationship.

She waves her hands around, saying that’s awful.

Daniel then suggests that maybe Billy is just more noble than anyone has ever given him credit for.

She worries that Billy has “white knight syndrome” and enjoys being the good guy too much.

Her ex tells her how smart and thoughtful she is. Billy is Billy and can’t be changed.

Lily is happy they have been able to maintain their friendship so she can share things like this with him.

In spite of how frustrated she’s been, she wants to believe this is a rough patch and she will work through this with Billy.

Daniel wishes her every happiness.

In Chelsea’s apartment, Billy assures her there is nothing to make amends for.

She insists they both know that’s not true. He’s not sure what she’s talking about.

Chelsea makes its clear she’s talking about when she gave him no choice on the night Johnny was conceived.

He sighs and doesn’t understand the point of raking up ancient history.

She feels she needs to be accountable. What she did was wrong.

After sighing again, he sits down with her but remains reluctant to discuss the sex.

She says that at the time she thought it was a crazy night that went too far, but now she realizes it was wrong and non-consensual since he was high out of his mind.

She reminds him she drugged him and he couldn’t consent.

When he claims he used to just like walking on the wild side, she insists he’s making excuses so she won’t have to face this.

He admits he doesn’t remember anything but his son was created than night and he loves him. Because of him, he wouldn’t change a thing.

“But if anything like that ever happened to him…” he says. She knows and tells him how sorry she is.

Chelsea tells him what a release this has been. He says it’s important they all just move on.

He’s sure she wouldn’t do the same thing again and commends her bravery for taking responsibility for her actions.

She’s not going to ask for forgiveness but she is raising her son to be a better person than her.

She’s grateful for how kind Billy has been. It’s more than she deserves.
