Summer talks to Chloe.
CBS

Summer hands the tablet back to Chloe and says they need to go back to the drawing board and start completely fresh.

Summer says Marchetti has a specific look for a specific clientele.

Chloe Mitchell.
CBS

Chloe figures Summer needs to give her and Chelsea some more leeway. They know what they’re doing; they have years of experience in the business.

Summer asks if Chloe is saying that they have more experience than her.

Chloe mutters that’s not what she said.

Summer Newman.
CBS

Summer says she knows they have a lot of experience; they’ve both worked in fashion before, but she’s in charge of Marchetti, and she knows exactly what she wants.

Chloe says that’s fair, but being in charge means listening to her people and letting their creativity flow.

Summer asks if Chloe thinks she’s holding her back.

Chloe says Summer seems to be second-guessing every design and suggestion they make. Why can’t she just let go?

Chloe.
CBS

Adam talks to Sally.
CBS

Adam says he got a bunch of texts from Nate that he missed. He hasn’t slept that soundly in a long time.

Sally says she hasn’t either. She seems uncomfortable.

Adam says he knows that their evening was “unexpected,” and he wants to make sure Sally is okay. There’s probably a lot for her to unpack after what they did. He’d understand if their night together didn’t mean what he hoped it would… Does she regret that they spent the night together?

Sally talks with Adam.
CBS

Sally says she doesn’t regret what happened last night, but there is a lot to unpack.

Victor asks what conversation Nick’s talking about… They never spoke last night!

Nate and Victor.
CBS

Nick reminds him of the drawing that Adam found in his desk, the one from The Serpent of Names.

Chelsea says Connor is doing well; the new school is doing wonders for his self-esteem and mental health. He’s made friends with other children at the school who are going through similar problems. It was the right move to have Connor attend.

Billy says when he last visited with Connor, he was proud of himself for picking the right school.

Chelsea says Connor moved into the dorms at school and is enjoying it, and he’s supportive of his mom coming back to Genoa City so she doesn’t have to work remotely. When she could visit him, it was only on the weekends since it’s a boarding school.

Billy smiles at Chelsea.

Chloe says Summer needs to open her mind. They need to meet in the middle on this.

Chloe talks to Summer.
CBS

Summer says they can’t put out anything less than perfection. They need to up the ante; that’s been their goal since they moved Marchetti to the States.

Summer says that sales have been down. They need to be more targeted, so she’s pushing them to be the best they can be.

Summer and Chloe.
CBS

Chloe says she’ll look closer at the sales numbers, but she thinks that Summer’s scared and feels the need to prove herself since Kyle is gone. Maybe she’s scared that she won’t measure up without him.

Summer says that’s not what’s happening.

Chloe says the only other reason would be that she doesn’t think Chloe and Chelsea can pull it off.

Chloe and Summer.
CBS

Chelsea’s Apartment

Billy and Chelsea are snuggling under the covers in her bed. Billy says he’s enjoying having her home.

Chelsea laughs. “Are you serious?” She says Tucker’s got some “brass” on him.

Chelsea talks to Billy.
CBS

Billy says Ashley’s trying to figure out what Tucker’s up to… She has a plan, but he’s worried for her.

Chelsea asks how much of a problem Tucker could be… He’s pretty childish and sketchy.

Billy isn’t sure what’s happening with Tucker. Maybe it’s all a diversion.

Chelsea talks to Billy.
CBS

Society

Mariah talks to Kyle.
CBS

Mariah doesn’t like the look in Kyle’s eyes… She’d never known him to be the ruthless kind.

Kyle says he’s looking out for his family’s company… And himself.

Mariah asks if he’s trying to get his uncle fired.

Kyle rubs his face.
CBS

Kyle says he’s not actively trying to undermine him, but he’s going after what he wants. He says he told his dad that if he doesn’t bring him back as co-CEO, he’s gone for good.

Mariah says that seems harsh, and ultimatums don’t often work, especially with family. Is it worth a family war to take back his co-CEO position? Kyle can do whatever he wants; maybe he should start his own business, free of family interference.

Nate Hastings and Victor Newman walk in the park.
CBS

Nate tells him that they’re at Chancellor Park. Victor asked him to take him there.

Victor sighs. He says that he feels alone.

Victor holds his head.

Nate says Victoria wouldn’t do anything to go against Victor. She wouldn’t use his condition against him.

Victor asks if he’s sure. He raised his children to be ruthless and cutthroat, just like their old man. He’s created monsters of his own making!

Nate talks with Victor.
CBS

The GCAC Lobby

Adam tells Victoria and Nick that he understands why they’re shutting him out. He knows what the consequences would be if news of their father’s issues leaked to the public.

Mariah Copeland.
CBS

Kyle says that Victor told him he should go back to where he belongs… Working with his family. He thinks Victor was right.

Mariah asks if Kyle is basing his life purpose on something Victor told him to do.

Kyle says it’s been brewing in him for a while, but Victor clarified it. It’s his family company and his grandfather’s legacy. It’s a part of his identity, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get back.

Kyle Newman.

The GCAC Dining Room

Nick and Victoria sit at a table and talk. Nick tells Victoria he doesn’t know what to make of their father’s behavior.

Nicholas Newman thinks.

7 thoughts on “Y&R Recap – Wed Nov 1: Chelsea Returns to Calm The Waters at Marchetti as a Battle Rages Between Summer and Chloe, While Victor Advances His Plan”

  1. Kyle doesn’t deserve to be put back as co-CEO, he’s spoiled and has been handed everything. Jack is treating Billy horrible by even considering letting Kyle back in, if that’s the case maybe Jack should let Billy & Kyle run the company and Diane never should have been put in the position she’s in!

  2. This show is exhausting to watch! It’s all over the place with not much progress! Storylines presented, and then not mentioned again back-and-forth and around and around! Not enjoyable! Too much but not enough!

  3. Victor just needs to figure out what his endgame is and finally put to bed the need to plan out who is trying to backstab him. Everyone knows Adam is coming the CEO chair in Victor’s office. Once Sally tells Nick that she slept with Adam all Hell will break lose and she may just have puller the plug on her business because of it. Kyle and Billy should run Jabot with Ashley as COO. That way Tucker will have his plan thwarted.

  4. The Newman brats act so privileged and Niki included. They act as if they haven’t done anything wrong. I hate the way they treat Adam he deserves a chance. The wicked stepmother and her privileged children. And Kyle included spoiled Bratt and his mom you can bet is up to something. Jack is so gullible geez.

  5. Too much going on and not enough movement forward.
    All the old story lines coming back. All the returning actors. Weird. Time to move the story lines forward

  6. Yeah I lost interest too much the same story,Some you ask why are they on? Some you ask why they only on once a month? They need a major shakeup Some being moved out and those on once a month becoming major storyline.
