The Young and the Restless Recap Friday, November 2: Phyllis Shocks Kyle and Billy

“The Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Friday, November 2, 2018 reveals that over at Chancellor Park, Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni), Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) are tired and complain about Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) leaving the dirty work for them. They are wondering if she’s turning them in to Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) when they hear a noise.

A masked person appears, and the women scream. It’s Sharon. She reminds them they told her to blend in with Halloween and complains she was dealing with the mess Phyllis made. Phyllis tells her to dig and snaps that she and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) ran into one another by chance the day she took her ring off. Sharon suggests Phyllis leave town with JT Hellstrom’s (Thad Luckinbill) body.

Phyllis informs her she was elected CEO of Jabot. Nikki laughs but Victoria confirms it. Just then, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) calls Victoria, who lies she’s at Newman Towers. After, they brace themselves to look into the hole and it’s empty. Victoria asks, “Where’s JT?” Nikki breathes, “I have no idea.” Phyllis decides the corpse must have moved itself and they just wired it a half a million cash. The women panic over what to do now. Phyllis says the good news is they don’t have to move a corpse, and Sharon says the bad news is whoever has the corpse is a bigger threat to them now.

At Dark Horse, Nick Newman recalls Sharon McAvoy telling him he needs to accept that are done.

At Crimson Lights, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) tells Summer Newman (Hunter King) he and Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) had a fantastic Halloween. Summer snarks about her not sticking around and claims she’s been at a cooler party. Kyle’s skeptical. She points out that her mom is his new boss, and predicts Lola will dump him.

The next morning at the Abbott mansion, Kyle Abbott wants to talk strategy with Billy Abbott. They argue whether Kyle is qualified to become COO. Kyle tells Billy as far as him being COO, that Jaboat sailed when he had sex with Phyllis Summers’ daughter. Billy agrees. Kyle worries about the struggle facing the company. Billy advises him not to underestimate Phyllis, her one weakness is her hatred for him.

At Jabot, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) admires Phyllis Summers in the CEO chair. Lauren can’t wait to watch her kick enough ass to silence her opposition. Phyllis wants her to do more than watch. Summer Newman arrives with plans to put her mother’s stamp on the office, but Phyllis wants her to save her money and credit.

Lauren thinks Summer’s onto something, so they start boxing things up, including Ashley Abbott’s (Eileen Davidson) Innovator of the Year award, the Abbott family photo, and the painting on the wall. Kyle Abbott and Billy Abbott enter. Billy expects she called a meeting to dump Jaboutiques. Phyllis reveals she’s expanding on them. Kyle offers his services as COO, and so does Billy. Phyllis has chosen a COO…Lauren. She goes on that Kyle will continue in his current role and she’d like Billy to resume his former position in marketing.

He agrees. Lauren brings Kerry Jones (Alice Hunter) in, and Kyle remarks on the new girl-power management style. Kyle leaves and so does Billy, who is dispatched with the box of Abbott belongings. The ladies meet about the products they have to replace. Phyllis wants to fill shelf space with exclusive products from around the world in the meantime. Lauren decides it’s brilliant. Kerry confirms they’ll make new products reminiscent of Jabot favorites in a minimal amount of time.
