Chelsea’s bluff falls flat

At the GCAC on The Young and the Restless, Audra told Nate she had been invited to the Dumas party.

Nate seemed suspicious but eventually agreed to let her go alone.

Their goodbye was short and passionate, but there was tension between them. After Nate left, Audra focused on her real goal of pushing her own agenda without Nate knowing. When she got a message about her ride, she let Nate think it was a rideshare, hiding the truth that Kyle was the one texting her.

Kyle sets his plan in motion

At the Abbott mansion on The Young and the Restless, Kyle talked to Jack and Diane about Audra’s new perfume pitch. Jack thought Kyle should go to the Dumas event in Nice, seeing it as a good chance to expose Audra’s schemes. Diane wasn’t so sure and felt uneasy about Kyle getting involved with Audra again because of their past.

Even with Diane’s concerns, Jack trusted that Kyle could handle things. He believed Audra had pushed too far and that Kyle could turn the situation around. Kyle also checked in with Claire, who told him that Cole was doing better. Since the trip was important for Jabot, she gave him her support.

Before the episode ended, Kyle texted Audra to confirm their plan, letting her know he was on his way to France. With big moves ahead, the episode closed on a suspenseful note, building up to major drama overseas.
