The Young and the Restless Recap Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Nick and Sharon searched for Noah, and it was Thanksgiving in Genoa City

On The Young and the Restless episode on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Thanksgiving has begun in Genoa City as the Newmans and Abbotts gather for dinner, while Nick and Sharon search for Noah in L.A.

What Happened on The Young and the Restless

On The Young and the Restless, Claire ran into Kyle at Crimson Lights while he was picking up a muffin for Harrison, as he didn’t want pumpkin pie. He told Claire she was welcome to come by and tell the family Happy Thanksgiving in person.

Claire said she was going to have dinner with her family, but Kyle pleaded how much it would mean to Harrison if she just stopped by. Claire agreed to a half hour at the Abbotts.

 

Billy met with Sally at Society before they went to the Abbott mansion for Thanksgiving dinner. Billy was asked to pick up a pie that Jack had ordered, but Sally had brought one, too. When Billy teased her about having two pumpkin pies, Sally told him that hers had won awards. 

 

Abby told them her plans for the day, which included handling the rush at Society, then seeing the Abbotts, Newmans, and Winters. Abby asked how the launch plans were coming along, and Billy told her that nothing was going to stop them this time. 

 

Sally admitted to Billy that she was nervous about going for dinner at the mansion. He said she’d been around the Newmans plenty, but Sally noted that they never accepted her, and she wanted the Abbotts to like her, and her with Billy.

 

At the Newman ranch, Adam came early before everyone else got there for Thanksgiving dinner. He wanted to know if his dad wanted to talk about ruining Billy’s launch party. Before they talked about Billy, they compared notes about Noah still being missing and investigating what Matt Clark had been doing since faking his death. Victor reminded Adam that no one else knew Noah was missing, and he wanted to keep it that way.

 

Victor told Adam that he had asked Jill about not investing in Abbott Communications, but she denied any involvement. Adam said that he knew for a fact that she was. Adam surmised that Jill had faith in Sally, who was actually running the company.

 

Adam assumed that because he couldn’t use Jill backing out as a distraction, Victor would have to rethink his plan for attacking Jabot. Victor didn’t deny or confirm that he would wait, but just said he was still going after Jack. 

 

Victoria, Nikki, and Chelsea came into the living room and said she’d called Nick to say Happy Thanksgiving, but got the feeling that something was off. Victor said they would’ve been home for the holiday if Noah was ready but they were grateful he was better.

 

Victoria told everyone that she had invited Nate over for cocktails later, after he had dinner with the Winters family. Victoria hoped that there wouldn’t be tension between Victor and Nate. Victor was grumpy about it, but barked that he was always cordial.

 

In the atrium, Chelsea asked Adam what he and Victor were talking about because it looked conspiratorial. Adam admitted there was more going on with Noah than they’d let on.

 

Claire stopped into the ranch house to say that she was going to the Abbotts to see Harrison. Nikki handed her a pumpkin pie to bring with her, as they had too many desserts. When she told Victor about her plans, he told her that Kyle loved her and seemed to be encouraging her to be with him. 

 

Claire noted the irony after all he’d done to keep them apart, but said she was only going there to see Harrison. Victor said that he’d like to see his great-grandson, and Claire agreed that Harrison should see more of his mother’s side of the family.

 

After Claire left, Victoria repeated to her Dad the irony of him being encouraging about Kyle and Claire after wanting them apart. Adam teased that it was also ironic that Victor finally approved one guy while being against another: Nate. Victoria said it didn’t count since they were just friends.

 

Adam and Chelsea teased Victoria that they had heard that one before. Meanwhile, in the atrium, Nikki called Nick again and left a message asking to hear Noah’s voice when he called back.

 

In L.A., Sharon and Nick showed up at a warehouse. They recalled in a flashback how Nick had come to the hotel room after getting Sharon’s message, and slamming Matt against the door. Thinking he’d hurt Sharon, Nick choked him and told him he was going to make sure he was dead this time.

 

Matt encouraged Nick to kill him, but Sharon said they needed Matt to tell them where Noah was. Matt assured Nick that Noah and Sienna were alive, but said they were going to play some games if he wanted to figure out where they were in time.

 

Back at the warehouse, Faith texted Sharon. Nick told her to just act like everything was okay, as they didn’t know anything, and there was no point in everyone worrying. Nick and Sharon called out for Noah to no avail, then Nick noticed something on the ground.

 

It looked like someone who did drugs got scared off before they could gather their things. Nick supposed that it was possible Matt Clark had disturbed the setting when he brought Noah there. Nick found a pink bag of fentanyl and recalled in another flashback how Matt threw a similar-looking bag at him in the hotel room.

 

Sharon and Nick asked Matt if he’d drugged their son and he said maybe. They assumed he was getting revenge on them for everything in their past, but he still claimed he had no idea what they were talking about and that everything he did had to do with just Noah. “Noah used me,” Matt growled. He said he took Noah under his wing, gave him contacts and advice because he thought they were friends, and he paid him back by sleeping with his wife.

 

“Tell me you did not give Noah that drug!” Sharon pleaded. “That’s for me to know and you to find out,” Matt had shrugged. Matt said he understood what it was like not knowing where your loved one was and worrying about them, as he’d spent many a night doing the same, wondering if his wife was going to come home. 

 

Matt had handed Nick an address and said to start there. He said he didn’t know whether or not Noah and Sienna were still there but were the night before. If they were gone, there might be some clues to help them find them, he added before leaving. 

 

Sharon and Nick had discussed what to do. Sharon wanted to run straight over to the address; Nick thought they should call for back up. He told Sharon about his meeting with Burrow and how he was told that Matt was running a fentanyl ring, trafficking the drug through the club.

 

Back at the warehouse, Nick pulled the bag out of his pocket and it matched the one he found on the ground. Nick said they had to find Noah. Sharon wanted to split up to cover more ground quicker but Nick said no. They spent some time lamenting about the situation and wondering if they were already too late.

 

Det. Burrow and his partner Annie arrived, and they told them what little they knew from Matt. They tried to explain that despite Sharon and Nick’s claims about Mitch being Matt, they had no hard proof that he was involved in Noah’s crash or his disappearance. Nick told them that he and Sharon would rip the place apart looking with or without their help.

 

Burrow called for back up and told them no sirens. Nick told Sharon to wait with Burrow and he’d search the building with Annie. Once alone, Sharon asked Burrow if he was really going to help them because she couldn’t shake the feeling he couldn’t be trusted.

 

At the Abbott mansion, Tracy and Diane welcomed Sally, who mentioned how great they looked at Danny and Christine’s wedding. Traci was impressed that Sally followed her on social media. They told them how the wedding was, and then Diane asked if Billy had picked up Jack’s order.

 

Billy handed Diane the bag from Society and noted that Sally brought dessert, too. “Can’t have too much pumpkin pie,” Sally said nervously, adding that hers won awards. She caught herself and said, “Sorry for the blurt…it’s the nerves.” “Not about joining us, I hope,” Traci told her.

 

In the dining room, Sally tried hot apple cider for the first time and was amazed. She said it was a big deal to her to try all the traditions that she never had growing up with the circus. 

 

Traci came in and placed one of the pumpkin pies. She asked Billy to help her bring out more food, and Sally was touched when she was invited to help make the signature cocktails.

 

Kyle came in the front door, and Harrison was happy that he remembered his muffin. Harrison was a little bummed that his mom wasn’t there, but said they talked on the phone for 45 minutes. Kyle happily told him he had a surprise to cheer him up. 

 

Harrison guessed it was Claire and wanted her to sit next to him at dinner. Kyle explained that she planned to have dinner with her family. “Aren’t we her family, too?” Harrison asked. Kyle said she was definitely coming by, and to just be grateful for that.

 

Everyone joined them in the living room and they did a toast. Sally explained that the cocktail they were having was basically a hot toddy with a few extra ingredients, like Jack’s bourbon.

 

Claire showed up with the pie, and Diane quipped that pumpkin pie was the new fruitcake. Harrison told Claire that at Thanksgiving dinner, everyone goes around the table and says what they’re thankful for, but he couldn’t do that if she weren’t there. He begged her to stay. She looked at Kyle for help, but he gave her a look that implied she shouldn’t say no.
