The Young and the Restless Recap Friday, November 23: Tessa Shocked Discovers Victoria In Her Apartment

“The Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Friday, November 23, 2018 reveals that over at Rey Rosales’ apartment, Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) and Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) bicker over who will cook. Lola insists she’ll look after the menu and complains about being in the same town with her brothers but Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela) not being able to suck it up and spend Thanksgiving with them. Mia urges her to get him there, no matter what. Lola calls, and Arturo agrees to come, but not without Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway). Lola texts Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), who would love to come, but has to be there for his dad.

At the Abbott mansion, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) glance at the Thanksgiving table, and Traci teases him about inviting Kerry Johnson (Alice Hunter). Abby Newman, Kyle Abbott, and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) enter. Abby realizes a place was set for Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson). Jack hopes she’ll show up. Billy’s skeptical. The doorbell rings and it’s Kerry.

Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams) appears and snipes, “Get out of here, Missy. Go!” Arturo Rosales arrives and explains to Abby Newman he wants her with him today. Abby gets her jacket and thinks the look on Mia Rosales’ face will be better than dessert. Meanwhile, Kerry gets on Dina’s good side by recalling her business prowess when she ran Mergeron. Kyle tells Kerry she’s good with Dina, which is usually his claim to fame. In the dining room, Kerry gets the rundown on them all looking after Dina.

At Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) place, Faith Newman (Alyvia Alyn Lind) is down. Nick wonders if it has to do with Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni). Faith is used to Phyllis, at least she’s not some ‘rando’, and she didn’t expect him and her mother to last. She assures him Phyllis moving in is not a big deal.

At Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) place, Rey Rosales is looking for Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), but Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victoria insist he’s not there. Rey wonders what could keep Mr. Newman from his family on Thanksgiving. They explain he’s held up in Singapore and is not evading justice. After Rey leaves, Victoria and Nikki focus on Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks). Victoria says the video proof is gone, but she can still talk. Nikki wonders how Victoria could stop anything from happening. Nick Newman arrives with the kids. He learns Victor’s not coming and admits it’s weird without him there.

The women insist he takes his business seriously. Nick argues he does too. Faith Newman, with her cellphone, asks if Phyllis Summers is coming since she and Nick are Genoa City’s next power couple. Billy Abbott arrives. Nick snarks, “No Thanksgiving plans with Sharon?” The men bicker. Billy notes Nick’s been more ‘up front’ about being a tool lately. Nick announces Phyllis moved in with him. Nikki’s appalled. Billy doesn’t care because unlike Nick, he’s over his ex.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) welcomes Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa Porter. Mariah announces she’s going away for a few days after Thanksgiving. Tessa remarks on how much it means for Sharon to serve food to the homeless today.

Mariah gets a moment alone with Sharon and updates her on how difficult it is to keep up the lie with Tessa. Tessa rejoins them and ruminates about having so much to be thankful for this year. Sharon lists off her thanks, then the pair look to Mariah, who is thankful for love. Mariah pulls Sharon aside to complain she can’t keep pretending with Tessa. Sharon is sorry Tessa hurt her, but doesn’t want Mariah to shut down again.

Rey Rosales arrives at home, followed closely by Arturo Rosales and Abby Newman. Arturo thought Rey would be working. Mia Rosales asks if he’ll storm off. Arturo and Rey get beer and Mia tells Abby to help her set the table. Lola Rosales and her brothers share stories as the meal preparation continues. As the conversation turns to Dark Horse, Rey learns Mia went there to see Arturo. Mia claims she told him she was with Rey. Lola decides they should go downstairs and orders them all to shut up and grab food.

Sharon McAvoy is surprised to see the Rosales family appear bearing a turkey and food dishes. She’s grateful for the help and encourages them to spread kindness to the patrons. While alone, Mariah Copeland advises Abby Newman as long as Arturo Rosales is being honest, all the rest should fade away.

Rey Rosales compliments Sharon on what’s she’s doing for the homeless as Mia Rosales watches jealously, then walks out. Arturo rejoins Abby and apologizes for Mia. She won’t let his ex ruin what they have. Arturo insists Mia is Rey’s problem. They kiss. Tessa Porter slips her arm around Mariah before going to thank Sharon for supporting them. She vows not to hurt Mariah. After, Sharon texts someone ‘Tessa just left’. Nick Newman brings the kids to Sharon, as Rey looks on.
