    The Young and the Restless recap for the episode aired on Friday, October 3, 2025

    Nate’s conflicted heart and Audra’s tears

    At the park on The Young and the Restless, Nate told Audra he couldn’t ignore the manipulative side he had seen in her. Audra cried and said she had changed, but Nate didn’t believe it. He admitted he was different too and couldn’t go back to their past.

    After Nate walked away, Audra broke down and called Sally to share what happened. Later, Nate talked to Amy, who noticed he was torn. She reminded him of how Audra once made him happy and gently encouraged him not to shut her out completely.


    Cane opens up to Jill

    On Cane’s train, Billy told Jill about Cane’s AI software and accused him of planning to cause trouble for powerful people in Genoa City. Jill tried to calm Billy, but he grew angry and accused her of betraying him by siding with Cane. After Billy stormed out, Jill worried she might lose Cane, too.

    When she asked if Billy’s accusations were true, Cane first brushed it off but then admitted he was struggling. He spoke of feeling lonely, full of regret, and torn between wanting peace or revenge. Cane confessed he no longer knew who he was, wondering if he was Cane Ashby, Aristotle Dumas, or just like his father.

    In an emotional moment, Cane admitted he sometimes felt like destroying everything. Jill, shaken, hugged him tightly, hoping to keep him close to his family.


    Jack and Victor’s uneasy alliance

    Back at the Abbott mansion on The Young and the Restless, Jack questioned Victor about what he was planning, and Victor insisted they should meet with Jill together.

    Victor also warned that Billy’s reckless behavior made him unreliable, and Jack, though hesitant, agreed with the point. Their tense exchange was cut short when Billy walked in and grew suspicious after seeing the two rivals working side by side.

    Jack defended the alliance, saying it was necessary, while Billy pressed them for answers. Victor refused to explain the details in front of him. Billy then revealed he had already spoken with Jill and told her about Cane’s AI plot. Instead of siding with him, Jill had focused her concern on Cane, which only fueled Billy’s frustration and resentment.

    Victor decided that a joint meeting with Jill would not work since her loyalty seemed divided. Instead, he suggested that he and Jack split their efforts and approach her separately. The fragile truce between Jack and Victor created fresh intrigue, leaving both men ready to move forward with a secretive plan that could greatly shift power in Genoa City.
