The Young and the Restless recap for the episode aired on Monday, July 7, 2025
Cane’s jealousy and Lily’s growing bond with Damian
Cane on The Young and the Restless couldn’t hide his jealousy when he saw Lily and Damian sharing a sweet moment. Damian gave Lily a flower earlier, which caught Cane’s eye and made him forget his talk with Phyllis. He tried to act friendly, but Lily clearly wasn’t comfortable with him.
Amanda also noticed the closeness and asked if Lily and Damian were a couple. Lily said they weren’t, but admitted they were just trying to get through a tough situation being stuck under Cane’s control. Damian seemed more caring than Cane, which made a difference.
Later, Cane saw Lily holding Damian’s hand and looked upset. His jealousy and need for control hinted that bigger problems were coming.
Phyllis is torn between Cane and her conscience
Phyllis on The Young and the Restless seemed to be on Cane’s side initially, but she started having doubts. Cane asks her to prove her loyalty, and she agrees until Lily accuses her of ignoring Daniel during his grief. That hit a nerve, and Phyllis walked away, clearly shaken.
Later, Nick warned her about Cane’s secret deals in Genoa City. He made it clear that Cane was more dangerous than she thought. Nick then told Phyllis to choose either to stand with Cane or join those who cared about her. Phyllis was left struggling with the tough choice.
Kyle and Audra turn up the heat
On The Young and the Restless train, Kyle dropped by Audra’s car and found her relaxed in a robe. They flirted while pretending to talk business. Audra told him he didn’t need to leave as she changed, confidently stripping to her lingerie.
Their chemistry was obvious, and Damian noticed. He didn’t trust Audra and watched her closely. Lily saw how protective Damian was and asked about it. He shared that he’d quickly bonded with his half-brother, Nate. Later, Kyle walked Audra back to her car, and they shared another flirty moment. Though they claimed it was all business, something more was clearly going on.
The Newman strategy and Adam’s risky departure
While the Newmans made plans, Nikki wanted to return to Genoa City immediately. But Victor wanted to stay and focus on taking Cane down. He decided it was safer for Adam to go alone.
Nick promised Nikki they’d find a way out. Then Phyllis showed up, shocked to see Adam. She asked questions, but Victor and Nick quickly got annoyed. Nick walked Phyllis out and warned her about Cane. After that, Nikki thanked Adam for risking so much to bring updates. Adam said it was what family does and then headed down the mountain alone.
