Last Episode
On the last episode of Y&R, Ashley intruded on Tucker & Audra, Jordan donned a new disguise, and Diane suggested a role swap for her and Kyle.
Society
Victoria fills Cole in on the panic that occurred when Claire went out alone.
She was worried about their daughter being out with Jordan on the loose.
He reminds her everyone is out looking for Jordan.
She thinks Jordan is diabolical, and he adds Claire is a grown woman trying to overcome a lifetime of brainwashing and can’t be kept in a bubble.
He thinks their daughter is handling things beautifully and is smarter than they think.
Cole apologizes if he has been sermonizing. She says he’s just been telling her what she needs to hear.
They notice Tessa and Mariah giggling and wonder what that’s about.
Walking over, they ask who won the lottery.
The wives show them pictures of their new house and announce they closed today.
They’d been going to one open house after another until they found this one. It has a yard and a loft.
They are officially living the dream.
Tessa whispers a reminder to her wife. Mariah apologizes for being insensitive about going on about her dream house when Victoria just lost hers.
Victoria assures them it’s all right. She will make new memories in a new house.
Tessa knows what she means. It’s occurred to her that Aria will be saying goodbye to her first house.
Cole says that he and Victoria lived in the tack house back in the day.
Victoria says he likely wouldn’t recognize it after the refurbishments.
He’s sure what made it great is still there.
The wives ask them over to see it again.
Victoria asks him how he feels about a trip down memory lane.
The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge
Phyllis rushes in and bumps into Billy. He assures her the bartender isn’t going anywhere and offers to listen.
She’s had a day. He suggests that he order her hangover cure delivered to her room so it will be ready for her.
Slumping at the bar, she tells him he used to be better at reading the room.
He wants to get her out of her funk, but she thinks he’s in a funk from fighting with the Winters family.
She’s sure he’s having no success getting respect and love and starts venting about people seeing you as difficult.
He guesses she’s turned herself into the topic of conversation.
She couldn’t care less if people think she’s difficult.
He assures her he will be fine and it’s her son she should be concerned about. Phyllis pricks up her ears.
Billy assumes she knows Heather and Daniel are back together. She pretends she knew that and takes the credit for it happening.
The Abbott explains there is some fallout to the grand reunion. Lily was the last to learn about it, and she’s having a hard time swallowing it.
Lily is feeling betrayed. The last time he saw her with Devon, they were talking about firing Daniel and Heather.
This sounds outrageous to her.
Phyllis is appalled that Lily would fire Daniel over something this petty. She thinks she’s a snake who has childishly made vengeance her priority.
While saying this, she notices Billy smirking and trying not to look at her, and she tells him to shut up.
She vents about how drunk on power Devon and Lily are and how their company is sinking like a rock.
Billy says they can’t just ignore Lily being hurt, but she says they have all been through this.
She thinks Devon and Lily are just obscene hypocrites.
Crimson Lights Patio
Heather reminds Daniel they need to think about how they and their family are where they need to be.
But they also need money, even if severance packages are coming their way.
He shouldn’t have spent so much on re-decorating, and she shouldn’t have bought an expensive car.
They consider what’s next.
She’ll call Michael and Christine to see if any positions are available. She wants Daniel to find something he’s really passionate about.
She can’t believe he’s not feeling the Omegasphere loss more deeply.
He is.
She’s sure whoever is hired to take over will not have poured their heart and soul into it like he did.
There’s no way they will be as inspired as he was to create Princess Louisa for their daughter.
He thinks that may have been a one-time thing.
Heather says this is more than losing a job. It’s losing part of himself.
He admits he hadn’t let him think about what he was giving up.
That platform and game were his salvation; he couldn’t replace them if he tried.
Daniel feels like he took his eyes off the ball. He never considered what he could be losing.
He starts thinking about how the company could spin off Princess Louisa in ways that aren’t “right.”
How did he let this happen?
Heather assures him they did nothing wrong. They just fell back in love.
But Lily will punish them in the way she’s sure will hurt the most.
He realizes that the platform is being taken away from him just when it achieved his purpose of getting his family back.
The lawyer thinks there’s a chance they could at least get Princess Louisa back for their daughter’s sake.
They can’t just let this go.
He doesn’t want to turn this into a war, but there’s no getting around the fact that he hurt Lily.
She says that Lily has every right to be angry on a personal level but no right to go after his creation.
Heather asks to see his contract. He’s unsure but she thinks they can get a decent trade.
He thinks taking this to court would be personal and humiliating, but she doesn’t see how that’s any different from Lily and Devon trying to cheat him out of something he created.
If they are playing hardball, so can they.
Daniel says he needs to think about this. The more he does, the more upset he gets.
She thinks they were probably just in denial about the repercussions of their reunion going public.
His mom texts him, asking to meet for a drink. He looks worried.
He assumes Phyllis heard all his news. Heather is eager to see her.
He’s expecting a lecture, but she reminds him that his mom has been their biggest cheerleader and likely wants to show them support.

The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge
Billy warns Phyllis that she is getting upset about something that hasn’t happened yet.
She worries her baby will be crushed when Omegasphere is taken away. Plus, she will get pink-slipped.
Phyllis vents about what a “dumpster fire” Chancellor-Winters is, and he’s sitting in the middle of it.
Heather and Daniel arrive, and his mom tells him how excited she is that they are back together.
They confirm they have officially been fired and Billy makes it clear it had nothing to do with him.
Heather and Billy think that Daniel should fight this.
The Newman Ranch House
Cole and Victoria arrive, happy to see Claire is there and dressed.
Since she’s always asking about the life she missed, they thought they could show her where it all began for them instead of just telling her about it.
The Tack House
Cole, Claire, and Victoria arrive at the door. Mariah already has champagne chilling.
They enter and get introductions. Mariah has heard a lot about Claire and assures her there are no judgments or apologies in the house.
Cole and Victoria look around and recall how it used to be.
Claire can’t imagine them living there together.
Her father explains it’s where they fell in love.
When the baby starts crying, Mariah and Tessa go off to change her.
Victoria notices Cole is lost in thought. He was remembering them living there.
It seems like a lifetime ago to her.
He says they had some times there and recall him storming out during a snowstorm.
They admit to their daughter they weren’t the most mature adults back then.
Claire can imagine the two of them being happy in this space.
Tessa and Mariah bring down the baby, and Claire asks to hold her.
Victoria beams as she watches her daughter holding the child.
The Newman Ranch House
Cole assumes Claire was bored by their old stories, but she’d love to hear more.
That could have been the house she grew up in.
She notices Victoria is distracted, and Cole guesses she’s having a big idea.
Victoria says this could be crazy or incredible, but what would Claire think about living in the tack house?
Claire worries they are asking her to move out because she’s done something wrong.
Her mom explains she wants them to live together. Johnny and Katie will move in with them later.
Cole thinks this is a great idea and will be secure.
Victoria adds that this would let Claire get to know her siblings. They are anxious for that.
Claire still can’t believe she’s a big sister. Her mom thinks she’s a natural with children.
It’s all a bit overwhelming to Claire. Her mom thinks this is the universe sending them a message.
It will be a place for Claire to take the time to plan the rest of her life.
Thrilled, they hug.
The Newman Lawn
Victoria and Cole look at the sky and talk about the changes in the weather.
They recall when she locked him out in the snow. It was always nice when they made up.
She asks if she’s doing the right thing with Claire.
He thinks so. This is the chance for them to see Claire grow up.
Cole is sure that Victoria will be a perfect role model. She’s an amazing woman who takes his breath away about a dozen times daily.
He leans in for a kiss but doesn’t and says he better get going.
She thanks him for tonight. He had a great time.
Having her in his life has changed everything, and he never wants to go back to the way things were. He needs her to know that.
The Newman Ranch House
Victoria asks pensive Claire if they are rushing this move.
Claire is excited about it but feels guilty about how much she’s changing her life for her.
She thinks she should think about getting back to work.
It doesn’t feel right for Victoria to return right now. She and Cole missed so much time with her and want to dedicate this time in their lives to her.
Claire asks her mom if there is more going on between them. She could see how they looked at each other earlier.
Victoria admits that being back in the place where they were happy and in love stirred up some memories.
The Tack House
Mariah and Tessa talk about how great Claire was with the baby.
Tessa points out that Mariah worked things out with Sharon. Victoria seemed to be beaming to be with her daughter.
Tessa finds an old stuffed animal and they debate keeping him.
Pulling a pouty face, Tessa makes her case.
Her wife says they will have many chances to make new memories in their new place.
They kiss.
