Damian's Bombshell, Phyllis Goes MIA, and Audra Takes Control

Genoa City is serving up drama hotter than a fresh cup of Crimson Lights coffee. In today’s The Young and the Restless full episode recap, Phyllis is missing, Damian is making eyes at Lily, and Audra proves she’s a force to be reckoned with. Buckle up, because this Y&R recap is bringing the tea, the sass, and the scandal!

Damian Stays Put—And It’s Not Because of Mommy Dearest

Lily, Damian & Holden | CBS/Sony

Over at Crimson Lights, Damian is making it clear he’s not in any rush to jet back to LA. Holden, ever the concerned friend, wants to know what’s up. Damian? He’s got a change of plans. And no, it’s not because of his mother—because heaven forbid he show an ounce of emotion toward Amy. Instead, he’s got his eye on a different Winters… Lily.

Damian, in full smirk mode, introduces himself to Lily, who clocks him immediately as Amy’s son. She’s unimpressed. But does that stop our charming rogue? Absolutely not. He’s got questions, she’s got sass, and suddenly, a simple cup of coffee has turned into a full-on game of cat and mouse.

Audra Takes the Reins—Because Someone Has To

Meanwhile, back at Nate’s place, Audra is not here to play. When she gets a text from Holden asking her to meet up, Nate is instantly suspicious. How did Holden even get her number? Audra shrugs it off—after all, resourceful men have ways. But this is her shot at getting Damian to meet with Amy, and she’s not about to let it slip away.

Cue her power move at Society, where she wastes no time cutting to the chase: “I need you to do whatever it takes to change Damian’s mind. He needs to see his mother, and you need to make that happen.”

Holden, ever the smooth talker, reveals that Damian’s still in town for two reasons—one being his mother, and the other being a mystery woman. Oh, the intrigue! But when Audra presses him for more, he clams up. Because of course, Holden isn’t about to betray Damian’s confidence. Men and their misguided loyalty.

Phyllis Is MIA—And Daniel Is Freaking Out

Over at the GCAC, Daniel is spiraling. He’s left another voicemail for Phyllis, but surprise, surprise—no response. Enter Summer, who immediately picks up on her brother’s distress. Something isn’t right.

Cut to Paris, where Billy and Sally are enjoying a romantic moment—until Daniel calls. Billy, the ever-reluctant Phyllis enthusiast, admits she called him last night but hasn’t been in touch since. Daniel’s not buying it. He’s got a bad feeling, and let’s be real, when Phyllis isn’t creating chaos, something is definitely up.

Back at the GCAC, Summer has had enough. The hotel staff hasn’t seen Phyllis, and time is wasting. It’s time to call in the big guns—Chance Chancellor. And when Chance takes something seriously, you know it’s bad.

Lily Puts Damian in His Place

Lily puts Damian in his place

Back at Crimson Lights, Lily isn’t falling for Damian’s smoldering stares. She challenges him—why is he really still here? Damian insists she knocked him sideways, and he had to know more about her. Cute, but Lily sees right through him.

She reminds him that while he’s busy flirting, his mother is desperate for a moment of peace. Nate is doing everything he can to connect, but Damian? He’s too busy holding onto resentment like it’s a designer accessory.

Damian doesn’t appreciate the tough love. But does it stop him from asking Lily to dinner? Nope. Does she accept? Also nope. She’ll consider it—after he makes peace with his mother. Now that’s how you keep a man on his toes.

Damian Faces Amy—Finally

Over at Nate’s place, Amy is bracing herself for disappointment. She’s convinced Damian will let her down again, and honestly, we can’t blame her. But just as Nate is making another valiant effort to get her to stay hopeful, there’s a knock at the door.

It’s Damian.

Amy is shook.

Chance Joins the Hunt for Phyllis

Back in Paris, Billy is trying (and failing) to act casual, but Sally sees right through him. He’s worried about Phyllis. And while she reminds him that the redhead always finds a way to land on her feet, even she’s starting to get concerned.

Chance learns Phyllis is missing

At the GCAC, Chance joins Daniel and Summer. They lay it all out for him, and though he tries to reassure them, it’s clear he’s taking this seriously. Summer wants him to use every resource he’s got to track her mom down. He agrees—because if there’s one thing Genoa City doesn’t need, it’s another missing persons case with Phyllis Summers at the center of it.

What’s Next on The Young and the Restless?

Victor pulls strings to help Lily, Kyle puts Claire to the ultimate loyalty test, and Nate makes a vow that could change everything for Amy. Stay tuned—because in Genoa City, the drama never takes a day off!
