The Young and the Restless Recap, October 29: Jack enlists Billy in the fight against Victor

On the Wednesday, October 29th episode of The Young and the Restless, Jack asked Billy to join the fight against Victor, Cane and Phyllis played mind games, and Noah's accident mystery deepened.

What happened on The Young and the Restless

Billy arrived at the Abbott Mansion, wondering why he had been abruptly summoned to the family home. Jack explained that Victor somehow procured Cane's AI program, and Billy was floored. Billy knew that if Victor possessed the program, they'd be the first targets. Billy didn't think anyone on Victor's team had the skills needed to pull it off, but Jack shared his theory that Phyllis was involved.

Jack wanted Billy to get involved to help sway Phyllis away from Victor, but he didn't think it was so simple. Billy understood her desperation, and if she was going to align herself with Victor, she was ready to roll the dice. Jack was adamant that if Phyllis wanted to get involved in the corporate warfare, he'd make sure she became collateral damage. Billy called Phyllis' latest stunt a risky move, and he believed that this war could become the final battle in the decades-long feud between the rival families.

Billy was surprised that Jack reached out to him first to help with the crisis at Jabot. Jack reminded his brother that they were still family, despite any recent rifts between them. Jack explained to Billy and said, "You're the only brother I have. I value you. I need you. I want you fighting by my side." Jack quickly noticed the marks on Billy's hand and inquired about how it was caused. Billy confessed that he punched Adam into the floor of the Genoa City Athletic Club, and they agreed to work together.

Jack enlisted Billy to sway Phyllis to their side, as she might be the secret weapon needed to fend off Victor. Billy wasn't sure if he was the best pick to get Phyllis to open up, but Jack needed him on this. He referred to Phyllis as the enemy, and they knew she'd find an angle for herself if she felt backed into a corner. Even if Phyllis wasn't officially involved already, there was nobody more suited for this scenario than her.

Cane wondered why Phyllis thought Victor would target him. She painted a perfect story about Victor wanting revenge against him, but he was sure she was lying. Cane thought Phyllis was deflecting away from reality as the next step in a manipulation tactic. Phyllis suggested that Victor would target Cane because of the injuries Nick suffered in Nice. However, Cane issued apologies to everyone, so he assumed that they’d all let that grudge go.

Cane still wasn't sold on Phyllis' theory about Victor coming after him, but she did her best to hammer her points. She admitted that Victor hadn't directly confided any specific information with her, so it was all guesswork. Phyllis cited her past with Victor as evidence of how well she knew him. Cane was bored with the conversations, but he stopped her from leaving the bar to discuss her hidden motivations. To divert the subject, she told him, "He did say that he was tired of playing these games with you, and that he wanted to turn the tables and see you sweat."

Cane revealed that he told Jack and Diane about Victor potentially having access to the AI program. She was appalled that he filled them in, but she pretended to be more upset that he kept it from her. She tried to play that card, but Cane picked up on Phyllis' newfound nervousness once he mentioned telling the Abbotts. She feigned apathy about him spilling everything to the Abbotts. She didn't care about Jack, Billy, or Diane. She reminded him of how she previously sat at the top of Jabot, but she was unceremoniously ousted by Jack and Ashley.

Phyllis professed that Jack and his family company were safe from Victor's cyber warfare. Cane believed Victor wouldn’t stop with just his company, so naturally, he'd want to target Jabot and everyone else. She said she'd given him every reason to trust that she wanted to help him against Victor. Phyllis laid out how Cane needed her, and she requested to be his partner. She told Cane she wasn't in bed with anyone else, but he knew she was up to something.

Phyllis felt like Cane turned on her every time he had a breakthrough with Lily or his children. He didn;t know what to think about her actions, but he did call her the most "baffling, exasperating, and fascinating" woman that he'd ever known. The chemistry between the pair was on full display as they tried to outmaneuver one another's mind games.

Sharon and Nick returned to the hospital after a brief break, but they needed a moment away. They struggled with the time adjustment since arriving on the East Coast. Nikki and Victoria showed up at the hospital just as Nick and Sharon were heading back into Noah's room. Sharon and Nick thanked the women for coming to Los Angeles and gave them the latest on Noah's condition. At this stage, no updates were considered a positive sign. Victoria confirmed that she had looped Nate into the situation, and Nikki assured that Victor had a specialist on standby.

Victoria brought up the accident investigation, but Nick said they hadn't heard any information from the "detective" since the initial interview. He found everything surrounding the ordeal to be highly suspicious, and he clamored for another opportunity to interrogate Sienna. Victoria asked Nick if the club was open, and he confirmed it was, so Nikki urged her son to take a break from the hospital to seek answers about the accident.

Sharon told Nikki and Victoria about how much of a rock Nick had been throughout Noah's accident. She felt like it had begun to take a toll on him, and Nikki wasn't surprised that he put himself on the back burner to be there for her. Sharon told Nikki that Nick needed her support, but Nikki maintained that they needed to be there. She didn't want to speak about Nick anymore, and Nikki asked Sharon to open up about herself. Sharon was surprised that they cared about feelings. However, they considered her an extension of the family because of the grandchildren. They encouraged her to purge her emotions, and she broke down when she recounted what happened.

Sharon was worried about how terrified Nick would be, and the bandages on Noah reminded her of previous incidents with Cassie and Faith. She wondered what their family did to deserve this happening again.

Kyle visited the Shadow Room, this time during its opening hours. Sienna was somewhat surprised to see him so early at the club, but he wanted answers about Audra's past with Holden. However, Sienna flipped the script and informed Kyle that she had a few questions of her own. She asked him how well he knew Noah Newman, and she offered him a drink. Kyle was thrown off by her inquiry about Noah. She assumed their paths had crossed in the past, but he assured her that the Newmans and the Abbotts had a long history with each other,

Kyle explained that he saw Sienna and Nick speaking on the hotel rooftop. She told Kyle that Noah spent a great deal of time at the Shadow Room over the last several months, but he couldn't understand her deep fascination with him. He understood that she met him; however, it felt like she had more than surface questions. She said she and Noah became friends while he was learning more about Los Angeles’ nightclub scene. Kyle expressed sadness for Nick and Sharon because they were in town for a reunion that went completely awry.

Sienna wondered if she had missed something from the night of Noah's accident. She hoped that nothing about Noah's time at the club was tied to the accident. Sienna told Kyle that Nick's questions have been aggressive, so she wanted to hear more from him to get some semblance of answers. Nick arrived at the Shadow Room in the middle of their conversation and instantly questioned Kyle about why he was at the club.

Kyle told Nick that he was digging for information about Holden to protect Claire. He wanted to know if there was anything about Holden that made him a threat to Claire. Nick wanted a private conversation with Sienna about Noah, so Kyle left the booth to give them some privacy. With no update on Noah's condition, Sienna was confused about what else Nick wanted from her. He said, "I need to know who tried to kill my son." He asked questions about the clientele at her club and wanted details about her staff's activity after they left The Shadow Room.

Nick was just a father desperate for clues about who could've intentionally run his son off the road. Sienna told Nick that the police never came to her club to speak with her. He couldn't believe nobody showed up to question her about the night of Noah's accident. Sienna vowed that nobody came to her club to ask anything about Noah, and she didn't have anything that could help him. Nick admitted that he didn't think Sienna was being entirely upfront about everything she knew.

Nick felt as though Sienna was giving him the runaround, and while she understood, she felt threatened if she didn't comply. Nick asked if he could question her staff about the night of Noah's accident, but she said they were too busy. Nick wondered if things between Sienna and Noah went beyond a platonic relationship, but she denied any involvement between them.

After Nick left the club, Sienna turned her attention to Kyle. He noticed she seemed worried and offered her a deal. He told her, "How about you and I make a deal? You tell me everything I want to know about Audra and Holden, and in exchange, I'll do some digging into Noah's accident and the police investigation."
