The Young and the Restless Recap May 26

Billy ran into Adam at Society and told him he was celebrating as he and Sally were getting married in October, and that she was pregnant. Adam sensed that Billy wanted to rub it in his face.

When Adam saw Chelsea, he told her about it. She knew he was thinking about Ava and what she would have been like, and told him he could talk about her and his feelings any time.

Meanwhile, at Crimson Lights, Sally and Audra finished up their workday and went to part ways when Sally felt lightheaded. Audra made sure to eat a scone and have some tea as she waited for Billy. Sally asked Audra to be her maid of honor at her wedding.

Victor Questions Nick

Nick popped another fentanyl before entering the main house to see Victor. His dad said he wanted to talk to him about Patty Williams as she claimed to have Matt Clark. When Victor told Nick that Adam suggested Nick had gone rogue, he confessed.

Nick told his dad about his deal with Phyllis but insisted he was setting her up to get her charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive as well. Patty came by and asked whether she and Victor had a deal. Patty told Nick she planned to stay in town and be the next Mrs. Jack Abbott, but he told her she was delusional and Victor laughed at the notion.

Patty wanted one thing in exchange for Matt Clark: That Victor tell everyone she was reformed. Before they answered, Nick got a text from Phyllis, and he showed it to Victor.

Traci Advises Jack

Jack saw Patty at Crimson Lights, who asked him if he received his flowers. Patty’s face fell when Jack said he did, and immediately threw them out.

At home, Jack told Traci that he hadn’t heard from Diane and neither had Kyle. She lamented that she thought she’d gotten through to Diane to start working towards reconciliation.

Traci told Jack that she didn’t think their split would last this long, and he felt the same way. Traci strongly advised Jack to stop thinking about revenge on Victor and Patty, and just focus on fixing his marriage.

Matt Reappears

Phyllis called Matt and implored him to call her back. In one of her messages, she apologized for knocking him out and told him he’d scared her by saying he was leaving town.

Phyllis said that Matt didn’t understand the Newmans’ reach and he was vulnerable, so she needed to stop him to protect him. On the message, Phyllis claimed that she had feelings for him as well.

Matt called her back and asked if what she said was true. Phyllis insisted that everything she said to him was the truth. 

Matt came to Summers Conglomerate to see Phyllis. She repeated what she said and he almost kissed her but then wondered about his wedding ring. He didn’t feel married, especially in that moment but was having flashes of a woman in L.A. and wondered if that was his wife.

Phyllis told him that she had information about that, and said his wife was Sienna but she left him for Noah Newman. “The kid?” he asked, remembering how Noah had attacked him in the park.

Matt thought he should be more upset about that information but wondered if it meant that he wasn’t the monster. He was motivated to talk to Sienna and Noah and find forgiveness for them and himself, rambling about how it could be a stepping stone to making things right with everyone.

Just then, Victor and Nick walked in. Matt recognized Nick as the guy he fought with in a memory, but didn’t know who they were. Phyllis asked Nick why he brought Victor, as it wasn’t part of their agreement. Victor told Phyllis that all of this ended now.
