Glimpse of all that happened on The Young and the Restless August 6, 2025 episode

Claire accuses Kyle of Victor's manipulation

Claire seems quite upset about Victor's control over her life when the episode starts at the tack house. Claire and Kyle talk about moving into Adam's old apartment to get away from everything. Kyle says that Audra tried to break them up because Victor asked her to during this conversation. 

Kyle told Claire that he and Audra did not fight, but Claire is determined to keep Audra from getting in the way. Kyle promises Claire that he will never betray her, and the two of them agree to fight back against the scam.

Victor cuts off all ties with Audra

Meanwhile, Audra, who is desperate to strike her deal with Victor, is left humiliated when he refuses to continue their agreement. Victor asks Audra to return the money he invested in Vibrante. Audra storms out, angry and embarrassed. This situation adds to Audra's disgust, who now finds herself without Victor’s support and with no plan to move forward.

Nikki and Jack’s stretched conversation

At Crimson Lights, Nikki meets with Jack to discuss the possibility of teaming up to counteract Cane. Jack, on the other hand, won't join forces with Victor because he doesn't trust Victor's ego, and their families have a history of fighting. The subject changes to Victor's abuse of Claire, and Nikki shows her anger by suggesting that Audra should leave town. When Audra hears what's being said, she does something brave: she makes it clear that she's not leaving Genoa City any time soon.

Jill, Cane, and Billy's tension

In Cane’s hotel suite, Jill confronts him during a video call, reminding him that she knew about his secret identity as Aristotle Dumas. However, her main concern is Chance’s death, and she scolds Billy for not prioritizing this tragedy. Billy, feeling blamed for the situation, becomes upset, and tension grows between him and Cane. Later, Phyllis steps in to mediate, warning Cane that Billy might not be the right person to work with moving forward. Despite the warnings, Cane remains committed to working with Billy.

Victor and Billy face off

The final confrontation of the episode takes place at Society, where Victor and Billy exchange harsh words. Billy hints that he may soon become a bigger threat to Victor, but Victor is not intimidated. Instead, he warns Billy that he has a “hatchet ready” for whatever Billy may plan.

The Young and the Restless episodes are available to stream on CBS.
