In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Lily urges Abby to speak to Devon, Tucker pitches his company to Daniel again, and Adam tells Jack Kyle is conspiring with Victor. In the previous episode, Sally worried about what Adam will think when her pregnancy starts showing, and Diane hoped Phyllis won’t attempt to ruin her relationship with Jack.
(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for January 31, 2023 episode airs in the USA February 1. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Abby walks into Society and spots Lily waiting for take-out.
She assumes she’s heading back to the office because she’s working overtime and asks how she’s feeling about the Devon situation.
Lily asks what she thinks about it. She thought she’d found a win-win. Abby says Devon clearly didn’t think so. Lily asks if she agrees with that.
Abby knows how much business can damage family relationships. But she understands Devon’s position.
Lily points out how ugly this can get. Abby thinks she should just accept Devon’s decision and give up the fight.
“It says more about your priorities than anything else,” she says. Lily gets offended.
Lily says her family has always been her priority and she resents her suggesting otherwise. That’s not what Abby was suggesting.
Lily says that dropping the IPO isn’t on. She doesn’t think her brother understands how much damage he could do to the company he claims to care about.
She urges Abby to suggest he reconsider.
At the bar, Nick tells Adam that it seems like their father is trying to bring him back into the fold with his latest plot.
Sally strides over and asks what the brothers are discussing. They explain.
She’s relieved they aren’t battling each other right now.
Nick says they are just keeping their father from causing trouble.
Adam notices Sally isn’t acting like herself.
She claims it just works and Nick walks her out.
Nick and Sally head to her suite.
She tells him about her latest medical tests.
Her blood pressure is high and they want to keep an eye on it.
She’s realized what a massive responsibility is coming her way and how much her life will change in ways she can’t predict.
He knows how overwhelming parenthood can be and wants to be there for her.
She doesn’t want to rush him into anything. Nick says they only have to look as far ahead as her next doctor’s appointment.
Devon bumps into Victoria at Crimson Lights and she asks him how things are going with the IPO.
He doesn’t want to discuss that with someone who tried to steal his company.
After he complains about Nate, she tells him she knows how tricky working with family can be and asks how things are going with Tucker.
She’s sure they are tense and painful. Devon doesn’t trust his father.
Victoria claims she’s just asking these questions as a friend. He doesn’t think they are friends and asks what she really wants.
She reminds him they are connected by family and hopes they can separate the business and the personal.
If he can’t learn to do that, his circle will get very small.
When Devon gets home, Abby is there and just put Dom down for his nap.
He tells her that he thinks Tucker and Victoria are in cahoots.
Abby explains that she bumped into Lily, who said some things that surprised her. She painted a very different picture from the one he has.
Lily just wanted them to work together.
He doesn’t think she wants that because she’s siding with Jill. Abby says she could hear the pain in Lily’s voice. She wants to hang onto him, not the company.
Lily takes her take-out to work. Esther brings her tea and asks after Devon.
Lily isn’t sure where he is.
Once Esther is gone, Lily morosely eats her box of food.
Devon shows up in the office and Esther happily hugs and tells him how much she adores him.
She loves working for Mrs. C’s family and prays he can work things out with his sister.
He tells her they will and he’s glad she’s the Esther he’s always known and loved.
He goes in to see his sister and tells her that Abby told him about their conversation and her desire for them to keep working as a family.
This doesn’t make sense to him and he accuses her of using Abby. Lily wasn’t using her. She’s just sad and scared about how ugly this can get.
He blames her and Jill for everything and accuses her of caring about profits more than him. He mopes out.
