The Young and the Restless spoilers for the July 21, 2025 episode

Jack hits his breaking point with Billy

Jack Abbott has finally had enough of Billy’s erratic decisions and emotional manipulation. After handing Billy millions to fund his ventures, Jack is blindsided when Billy decides to walk away from their partnership. Billy makes it clear he will seek support elsewhere, namely from Cane.

The situation escalates further when Billy forms a new alliance with Phyllis, signalling that he is ready to move forward without Jack’s backing. Jack realizes Billy may never respect his guidance and is chasing another risky opportunity, this time involving Chancellor Industries.

Phyllis targets Chancellor Industries and aligns with Billy

Phyllis Summers is determined to secure a leadership position at Chancellor Industries, even though Cane has not yet acquired the company. Despite this uncertainty, she continues to strategize as if the position is hers. After Cane becomes convinced that he was the intended target of Damian’s murder, Phyllis uses his fear to her advantage.

She meets with Billy to discuss how to clear Cane’s name, forming a strategic alliance with him in the process. Phyllis is prepared to cross lines and risk relationships, including her standing with Nick, to achieve her career goals.

Kyle confronts Audra over her allegiances

Kyle Abbott calls Audra Charles’ bluff after their kiss, confronting her about her alleged loyalty to Victor Newman. Kyle accuses Audra of using Damian Kane’s murder as a distraction while carrying out Victor’s plan to destroy his relationship with Claire.

Audra denies the claims, insisting their kiss was genuine and not part of any larger scheme. However, Kyle makes it clear he sees through her tactics. The confrontation ends with Audra leaving, suggesting her plans have hit a major snag.

Cane and Amanda exchange accusations

As Cane awaits backup security footage, tensions rise between him and Amanda Sinclair. When she finds him reviewing the system, she questions if he is trying to tamper with evidence. Cane flips the suspicion back onto her, pointing out that she also had access to the office.

The back-and-forth raises further doubts about both their intentions. Meanwhile, Lily Winters remains adamant that Cane is guilty of murder, further isolating him from key allies. The cloud of suspicion surrounding Damian’s death deepens, with no clear resolution in sight.

Nick and Sharon are placed under house arrest

Nick and Sharon’s attempt to leave the premises backfires when Carter, backed by armed security, places them under house arrest. Sharon tries to defuse the situation, but Carter insists they remain confined. Later, Nick gets injured while trying to escape, prompting Sharon and Sally to offer aid.

Meanwhile, Victor and Chance confront Carter, who denies involvement in Damian’s murder while claiming loyalty to Dumas. The threat level rises when Nikki finds herself cornered, possibly by the killer who remains at large.
