The Young and the Restless RECAP Monday, October 29: Eileen Davidson’s Emotional Exit, Jack Tries To Stop Ashley

“The Young and the Restless” (YR) recap for Monday, October 29, 2018 reveals that over at the Abbott mansion, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) tells the family that she’s taking the patents and leaving Genoa City.

Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) points out that their offer would make her the richest Jabot employee in history and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) says she would leave the family with nothing. She’s starting her own company with her own products. She’ll call it My Beauty, just like John used to call her.

Ashley Abbott’s Emotional Send Off

Then she says that they can’t make any offer she would take. She’s already booked a flight to Paris. She wants to build her empire in the same city her mom did. She’s made her peace with Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams) so she’s sure she won’t miss her.

Ashley asks Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) to go with her, but she won’t pull up stakes. They hug and then Ashley tells Billy she hopes they can get passed this one day. He doesn’t see that happening. Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) tells Ashley that she loves her unconditionally, but she thinks she is making a mistake. They hug.

Dina comes in. Ashley gives her a hug and Dina leaves out. “I have nothing to say to you,” Ashley tells Jack before leaving. Once alone with Abby, Traci beats herself up for trying to mediate things with the family and only making everything fall apart. Abby tells her you should never second-guess honesty. She also wanted to do right by Dina. Abby reveals she caught Dina pacing and repeating to herself that she was a good mother.

At the police station, Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case) tells Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) they need to establish boundaries, so he will not get the wrong idea about them. Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) arrives and asks to speak to her in private.

Devon Asks Sharon For Help

They go to a corner and he explains that Lily Ashby (Christel Khalil) has been transferred to a prison a few hours away. He doesn’t think Lily can make it without her family visiting her all the time. Sharon says decisions like this are rarely reversed but she offers to call Lily’s case worker. She makes a call and then explains to Devon that she looked into placing Lily in a half-way house, but she doesn’t qualify. There’s nothing else she can do.

At his desk, Rey takes notes about Sharon’s behavior. Later, he asks Sharon if she’s uncomfortable around him. She apologizes for snapping at him earlier, but she’s worried about how things look to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

Lily’s Family Devastated

At home, Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) chats with the twins. They are worried about their mom. Cane insists that they write her a letter with pen and paper. That sounds very strange to the kids. Later, Devon Hamilton drops by and talks to Cane about Lily Ashby and the kids. Devon assures him that his marriage is strong enough to survive this and he will do all he can to get Lily an early release.

Over at Jabot, Billy Abbott and Kyle Abbott try to figure out what to do with all the raw materials they are contracted to buy. They start bickering about Billy sleeping with Summer Newman (Hunter King). They talk about John’s legacy and how Jack Abbott has been forced to live up to a family myth.

At the Athletic Club, Ashley Abbott gets a call from Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) and tells him she’s starting her own company in Paris. She’ll miss him and it would have been nice to see where their relationship could have gone.

Jack Tries To Change Ashley’s Mind

After they disconnect Jack Abbott chases her down. He hates himself for starting this war and what it’s done to their family. He admits that part of why the blood clause was added was so he wouldn’t have to compete against her. He’s deeply sorry. She hugs him. They flash back to when they were kids and she tells him she does not like to fight with him. Back in the present, Ashley refuses to change her mind. She needs to put herself first.

At home, Jack Abbott thinks about his childhood and sadly looks around the empty house.

Ashley Abbott flies out of Genoa City, raising a glass. And that’s a wrap. Don’t forget to check often with Soap Opera Spy for all your soap needs!
