In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Lily’s annoyed when Billy tries to check in on Chelsea, Connor’s been bullied, and Kyle learns more about his mother’s partnership with Tucker.

(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for November 29, 2022 episode airs in the USA November 30. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
At Society, Lily tells Billy that the conversation with Chelsea went well.
He prods for more and she shrugs.
Billy wants to check on her.
Lily suggests she might want space.
“Or maybe something is wrong.”
She’s not happy when he goes off to call Chelsea.
From home, Chelsea ignores Billy’s call and flashes to talking to Lily about how she worked hard to be here.
That Billy’s not the only person who can help her.
Back at Society, Lily finds Daniel, Phyllis and Summer dining.
Phyllis invites her to dinner but Lily is waiting on Billy.
She sits and Phyllis asks about her hotel.
Lily says it’s fine.
Phyllis heard Nate jumped ship. Both she and Summer call it justice that he took Sally’s job.
Daniel questions them.
Phyllis says she got the job because of Adam.
She also heard Bily might be leaving CW.
Lily smiles and says yeah, but they’re stronger than ever.
“Good PR answer,” Phyllis says with a laugh.
At Crimson Lights, Sharon knows Adam wants to be a part of the process of Chelsea’s recovery.
She can tell he’s turning this into a contest of who is more helpful to her. Him or Billy.
Adam bites, “What am I supposed to do? Step aside so Billy can play the hero?”
Sharon says he’s turning into something it’s not. Sharon’s glad the woman has extra support.
Adam wants them to work as parents on helping Conor through it.
Sharon understands. She’s not taking sides. She’s on Chelsea’s.
She asks him not to make this about their history but about Chelsea.
Talk turns to Johnny and his sudden interest in talking to her.
Probably Billy’s crediting himself. Sharon thinks Adam sounds jealous.
He doesn’t like that and takes off.
Nikki goes to Ashley’s to tell her Talia Morgan is out.
She felt it was a smear campaign. Ashley lets Nikki know that if she goes to war with Diane, Jack said she was going to war with him, too.
Nikki’s not happy about that and gets it if this changes things.
Will she walk away? Not a chance in hell, Ash says.
They just have to be quiet about it. Ash isn’t sure if they want to be in direct contact with Stark.
He’s dangerous. It drives Nikki mad that she’s got Jack under her thumb. Ashley complains that she had to leave Thanksgiving dinner because she infiltrated their celebration.
Nikki worries she’ll end up living there again.
Ashley says that won’t happen, but since Stark’s back, Diane will use Harrison and the rest of the family to protect herself.
They wonder if Stark really will go after the others.
Ashley doesn’t want that or Diane to be in danger.
Nikki says Jack and Victor will deal with threats. Ashley hates to hand it over to the men.
At Jabot, Jack tells Diane he laid down the law with Ashley and told her to stop going after her.
Diane’s touched. It means everything to her.
She embraces him and Kyle interrupts.
They tell their son that Nikki, Ashley and Phyllis upped their attack against them.
Diane borrows Jack’s office to tell Kyle about her deal with Tucker.
She didn’t tell him everything. He has another goal to takeover Jabot. “Oh.” Kyle says.
He’s not surprised. She admits he asked her to find out the company’s financial situation but she never did.
Jack appears. They fill him in on the rest. Kyle asks if it’s a big deal.
His mom’s wondering what they’ll do with the information now that Stark’s out of prison.
He’s abusive and unpredictable. She cries.
She worries he’ll hurt her.
It puts him and Harrison at risk. He got caught for a white-collar crime but that’s not all he’s done.
Kyle’s pissed. Jack says not to worry.
He’ll protect them. Kyle leaves and Diane asks Jack to lunch. He asks her to dinner instead.
