What happened on The Young and the Restless

Billy encountered Jack at the jazz lounge bar and quipped about Victor joining them. However, Jack stressed that any alliance with Victor was at best a temporary arrangement. Billy declared that he was new and improved, which softened the vibe enough for Jack to ask him to join. Billy tried to further lighten the mood and said, "Since my brother will not refund Abbott Communications, will he buy me a drink?"

Jack hoped they could spend time together without things turning into an argument. They knew how to get under each other's skin, and they regretted their past actions. Billy admitted he wasn't always open to hearing Jack's point of view on things. He knew his brother always had his back, but things didn't always end well.

Billy cited a newfound perspective to avoid taking every battle so personally and engaging in a full-scale war. He didn't think they would ever stay in balance. However, Jack was hopeful there would be lasting peace between them. Jack changed the subject to Billy's relationship with Jill, but Billy said he never spoke with her again. They agreed Jill wasn't a fool, but Billy felt like she cared more about Cane than she ever would him. He didn't think that would ever change.

Jack inquired about the status of Billy's own relationship with Cane since he frequently waffled on it. Billy maintained he planned to keep his distance from Cane, but Jack recalled hearing that before. Billy had a tendency to switch back and forth on matters that related to his faux bro. Jack questioned why Bill always changed his mind about Cane on every whim. However, Billy said his eye was always on the prize of getting Chancellor back, and Cane had used him.

Billy thought maybe getting Chancellor back wasn't meant to be. He promised his brother he wouldn't go back down that rabbit hole. He gave the credit ot Sally and said, "I give most of that to Sally. She's the one who helped me realize what's important. Obviously, the risk of losing her, no brass ring in the world, is worth losing that."

Jack had the impression that Billy was honest this time and meant what he said. Billy vowed his actions would match his words so people could actually believe him this time. Jack wanted to raise a toast, but Billy stopped him in his tracks. Billy asked Jack if checking up on him was the real reason he reached out to Jill, and that it wasn’t just to stop Cane's attacks.

Jack soothed Billy's worries and testified that he wanted Jill to see Cane for who he was. Although Jack eventually admitted that a part of it was to fix the issues between Billy and Jill. Billy thought he and his mother would never regain their previous closeness, but he believed Jill wanted him to succeed.

Jack wondered where Billy went from there, but Billy laid the good news on him. Sally found an investor for Abbott Communications, and Jack was surprised that someone had deep enough pockets to do it. Sally trusted the person, and Billy assured him that Victor and Cane weren't the secret investors. Still, Jack was left with lingering hurt about being pushed out of Abbott Communications.

Being the last person in Billy's corner who believed in him made it painful when he was erased from it. Billy wished he could rewind time and bring Jack back into the fold. However, Billy wanted to be a corporate success on his own merits.

Back in Los Angeles, the detective continued his theory that Noah's accident was intentional. Nick and Sharon demanded answers, but he didn't have much more to go on yet. There was a witness who saw someone run Noah off the road and leave him for dead. If someone didn't come forward, it could have been days before Noah was located.

Sharon and Nick requested the name of the individual who came forward, but the detective refused. They couldn't understand why the name remained sealed, but he wouldn't budge. The detective wanted answers about Noah's intentions in Los Angeles and the road he crashed.

Nick took the word “accident” quite personally toward the detective since it was clear the crash was intentional. However, the detective urged them to wait out the investigation and assured them he was working hard to uncover the truth. He asked for their contact information, which Nick begrudgingly agreed to. Sharon thanked the detective for his well-wishes, but after he left, they both felt that the interaction was odd.

Nick couldn't wrap his head around Noah being personally targeted. He realized the detective never showed any sort of official identification, and he wondered why there were so many questions about Noah. Sharon didn't know or care, and her entire focus was on Noah's health. She told Nick that nothing else mattered.

Nick promised Sharon he'd stop focusing on the details about the investigation, but Noah's phone suddenly rang, which captured their attention. The name on the phone said "Sienna Bacall," which is the club owner that Holden introduced Claire to on Tuesday's all-new episode. They debated whether they should answer the phone, but ultimately Nick answered the call.

Nick revealed himself to the person on the other line, but Sienna was caught off guard that his father answered. Sienna asked if Noah would be all right, but Nick insisted she reveal her connection to Noah and why she was calling. Sienna said she was a friend of Noah's, and Nick hit her with a barrage of questions before she abruptly ended the call.

Nick continued his theory that everything felt off about the call and the detective. Nothing added up, and he could feel it. Sharon knew that Nick couldn't stop thinking about the call with Sienna, but she stepped away to have some alone time with Noah.

Nick tried to crack the code for Noah's phone, and he got it on the first try. He looked through the phone for any clues about why Noah was on that road the night of his crash. He found four missed calls from Sienna on Noah's phone, but she ignored his calls when he tried to call back.

Sharon tearfully spoke to Noah by his bedside and recounted the days of his childhood when she comforted him. Like she did when he was a child, Sharon named the states in alphabetical order, but she struggled to keep it together. She told Noah, "You have got to get better. You have got to heal. Your family needs you. We need you. Ally needs you. Your dad and I need you. Please, please, please get better. Please.

The "detective" called someone and said Noah's parents "bought the story," and he would forward the mystery person Nick's number.

Audra and Nate bumped into each other in Chancellor Park and exchanged awkward pleasantries. She was surprised to see Nate on his run much earlier than expected. Before she could ask any further questions, Victoria arrived and apologized for running late. Victoria hoped she didn't interrupt anything between them, but Nate assured her that any interaction with Audra was a coincidence.

Nate questioned why Victoria wasn't dressed for their scheduled run, so she gave him the latest updates on Noah's condition. Audra, Noah's former girlfriend, asked for more information, but Victoria wanted to speak to Nate in private. Audra protested against being dismissed until she was debriefed on her former flame's prognosis. She reminded them about her previous relationship with Noah and requested to be kept informed.

Victoria wouldn't budge and told Audra she didn't have any information for her. Still, Audra expressed her well-wishes for Noah and his family, and Victoria stated she'd pass it along, but Audra barked that she wouldn't. Audra told Nate that she had plans to meet Amy for coffee to continue their previous connection, and he didn't have a problem with it.

After Audra took off, Victoria and Nate remembered their own breakup and how civilized it was. He asked for the real update about Noah. She went over the entire rundown of Noah's accident and what the doctor relayed about Noah's extensive head trauma. Nate assured her that inducing the coma was the best chance for the brain swelling to subside. He didn't think the doctors would take such a drastic step if there was no hope, so Noah must've had brain activity.

Nate gave Victoria a pep talk to lift her spirits, and he told her she had a right to her feelings even if she didn't directly face this. He was honored that she felt comfortable enough to still confide in him. Victoria confirmed a dinner date with Nate, which further signaled their rekindled connection.

Audra returned to the park to retrieve a forgotten belonging, but the vibe remained uncomfortable. Audra's hurt was evident, but she has always proved to be a fighter, so her journey is far from over.
