The Young and the Restless recap for the episode aired on Friday, September 19, 2025

Cane pushes forward with his plan

On Cane’s private train, he told Amanda Sinclair that they were moving forward with the original plan. Cane wanted Michael Baldwin and Phyllis Summers to join right away to talk about the next steps. He made it clear the plan would continue without Billy, who he saw as a problem. Amanda agreed, even if it meant taking legal risks.

Michael dodges Amanda and unsettles Lauren

While having dinner with Lauren, Michael ignored a call from Amanda and later claimed it was just a politician bothering him. When Amanda sent texts, he brushed them off too, which made Lauren uneasy.

He tried to smooth things over by suggesting a romantic night, but his distracted behavior worried her. Lauren felt he was hiding something and feared Victor Newman might be pulling him back in.

Christine’s fitting and Lauren’s worries

Christine had a dress fitting and photoshoot with several gowns, but she couldn’t decide which one to pick for her wedding. Later, Lauren talked about Michael’s odd behavior.

Christine told her to stay cautious, reminding her how persistent Victor could be and how he often pulled people into his schemes. Lauren feared Victor was involved and warned there would be trouble if she was right.

Daniel confides in Danny

At Crimson Lights on The Young and the Restless, Christine and Danny noticed Daniel looked tired, but he said he was just worn out from helping Lucy with homework.

Later, when alone with his father, Daniel admitted that Mariah had asked him to look after Tessa while she got help. He revealed he felt conflicted, since part of him didn’t want to help because of his own feelings for Tessa.

Danny urged Daniel to open up more, warning that keeping feelings inside was unhealthy. He encouraged honesty between them, but Daniel said his emotions had to stay hidden and refused to talk further. This showed how much Daniel struggled with his boundaries and his fear of causing problems in Tessa and Mariah’s marriage.

Billy’s rage boils over

Billy sat alone at home, angry after learning about Cane’s latest plans. Overcome with rage, he smashed a glass against the wall, upset about being left out. His anger kept building until he stormed onto Cane’s train.

There, Cane, Amanda, Phyllis, and Michael were discussing the scheme when Billy suddenly burst in. He was furious that Phyllis was included while he was excluded. Billy shouted that Cane didn’t know what he was doing, and his outburst disrupted the already shaky partnership. The fight made it clear that tensions in the group were far from over.
