The Young and the Restless recap for the episode aired on Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Billy’s bold move with Sally

Billy started the episode at home, talking with Jack on the phone about the excitement for Abbott Communications’ launch party. When Sally showed up, Billy surprised her with a fake newspaper that said she was moving in with him. Sally was shocked and worried about how the kids might react.

Billy calmed her fears, saying they were ready for the change. Even though she was careful because of past heartbreaks, she listened as Billy promised their relationship would last.

After a romantic moment, Sally agreed to move in, as long as the children were okay with it. Billy was thrilled, certain they were starting a strong new chapter together.

Kyle’s tense run-in with Audra

During his morning run in the park, Kyle ran into Audra, and their talk quickly turned hostile. With Victor’s support behind him, Kyle warned her to stop causing trouble with him and Claire or risk Victor’s wrath. Kyle told Audra that her games no longer worked in Genoa City and urged her to leave.

Audra refused, insisting no one would control her. Kyle then vowed to destroy her if she stayed.

Later at the Abbott mansion, Kyle opened up to Jack about his struggle. He loved Claire but feared losing her if he gave her too much space. While he wanted to prove himself and push Audra out of town, Jack warned that forcing her to leave might not be possible.

Claire’s downward spiral at Society

At Society on The Young and the Restless, Claire kept drinking heavily, ignoring Holden’s pleas to slow down. She brushed off his concern and instead questioned him about his past with Audra in Los Angeles. As they talked more, Claire revealed how much pressure she felt because of Kyle’s ongoing battles with Audra.

Holden tried to reassure her, saying that while Audra was manipulative, she wasn’t the type to be physically dangerous. He even offered to distract Audra himself to keep her away from Claire. Still, Claire wouldn’t back down. She insisted she could handle Audra and claimed she was just as capable of playing dirty. 

When Claire pushed for more details about Audra’s past, Holden refused to share. Their tense conversation ended when Audra walked in and spotted them together. She approached confidently, and the tension between her and Claire made it clear a showdown was not far.
