Here's what happened on The Young and the Restless
At Crimson Lights, Abby approached Amanda. The attorney congratulated Abby on her wedding to Devon. Abby noted that Amanda has kept busy working for Aristotle Dumas. Amanda retorted that Abby also has a lot on her plate, working on the board at Devon's company, Dominic, and running Society.
Abby asked how Imani was, and Amanda replied she was great. Then, Amanda suggested that courtesy only needs to go so far. Abby said that she wasn't faking her cordial exchange with Amanda. The legal eagle said neither was she, but it wasn't fun hanging around Abby.
Abby pushed for information about Dumas from Amanda and said it was hard to trust Amanda's word. "That's rich," Amanda snarked. Amanda quipped that Abby seemed like such a dutiful wife — this time around. "How's Chance?" she asked. Amanda suggested that Abby go buy a new outfit for the next board meeting, as Dumas has no plans for a hostile takeover.
Abby asked Amanda why she should believe her. Amanda pointed out that she has never betrayed her or Devon. She added that Abby didn't have anything to worry about, but Abby wasn't convinced.
"I am not the enemy here," Amanda proclaimed. She asked if Abby thought she'd help Dumas take over Devon's company out of petty revenge. Abby wasn't sure. Amanda assured Abby she didn't carry a grudge. She does wish that Abby had figured out what she wanted from life a bit earlier.
"Do I remember what it felt like to return home and see you and Devon naked on my couch while I was away taking care of my sick mother?" Amanda asked. Abby said she was sorry about that, but Amanda said she wasn't there to rehash old wounds. She asked Abby to stop pushing her. Amanda said Dumas was trying to protect Winters — not take it away. Abby inquired as to why Dumas would do that and what was in it for him.
Abby wondered why Amanda said that Dumas would "protect" Winters. Devon entered the coffee shop and joined Abby and Amanda. Abby explained they were just talking about Amanda's new job and new boss. Devon wondered why Dumas cared what happened to Winters. Amanda downplayed it, but Devon pushed back and demanded some answers.
Amanda asked why she was being attacked. Devon said this wasn't about Amanda; it was about her shady new boss and his fake name. Amanda pointed out that Devon had everything — his wife, his son, his company. Why can't he be happy? Devon wanted to know why Dumas sent Amanda to Genoa City. She replied that it was because she was his attorney. Devon wanted to know what is Dumas' connection to him and Lily.
Amanda said Dumas's identity was classified. Devon demanded that Amanda arrange a face-to-face meeting with Dumas and Lily. "He doesn't do that," Amanda countered. Devon kept pushing. Amanda pointed out to Devon that she was never good enough for him.
Amanda told Devon and Abby that Dumas was not lying to her. She learned her lesson the hard way, referring to Devon's betrayal. Devon wanted to know why Dumas knew about him and Lily. "Set the meeting, Amanda," Devon ordered his ex. "I'm not taking no for an answer."
Lily met with Damian at the Genoa City Athletic Club. He said he was ready to accept her offer. Lily stated she was happy to have Damian join the team at Winters. He said he was ready for the challenge, and she should consider him her secret agent. Lily pulled back and said she wasn't sure that was the best way to proceed.
Damian wanted to know what had changed. Lily explained that Amanda, Dumas's attorney, came to Genoa City to explain that Dumas wanted nothing to do with Lily and Devon's company. Lily felt that this development could put Damian in a bad position with Dumas. Damian asked Lily if she was worried about him.
Lily said that Nate was her cousin and Damian was his half-brother. That's where her concern originated. She noted that Damian was taking a risk by going to work for her. Lily wondered if Amanda was trying to lure everyone into a false sense of security. Lily was curious as to why Dumas wanted her and Devon to know how he felt about the way they ran their company.
Damian pointed out that he was her best shot to get info from Dumas. He stated he did not know about Amanda until today. Lily shared that she knew Amanda very well. She added that she didn't want to dig into Devon and Amanda's past but said it was a messy situation.
Damian suggested that Lily didn't trust Amanda. Damian said that they should continue with their plan for him to be a double agent. Damian told Lily she didn't have to worry about him. "I never said I was worried about you," Lily told Damian. He pointed out that Lily didn't hide her feelings as well as she thought. Damian left to go and tell Dumas about his new job offer.
Damian returned after his call with Aristotle and said that Dumas told him that it wasn't necessary for him to have a spy in Winters. Lily wondered if Dumas was suspicious. Damian asked if her job offer for him to join Winters was now off the table. Damian told Lily to just say the word, and he'd be gone. Lily assured Damian that she wouldn't take away her professional invitation. He maintained that she cared about him. Lily said, "Sure, whatever makes you happy."
Damian said that Holden was the closest thing he ever had to a brother, but that what he and Nate have is different. Damian didn't want Holden to be affected by his decisions with Dumas. Lily said Holden was lucky to have him but wondered if Damian taking the job at Winters could hurt Holden's relationship with Dumas.
Damian said he wasn't the same person he is now as he was when he started working with Dumas. Damian urged Lily to count him in and assured her that he was prepared to face the consequences. Damian said he wanted to remain in town so that he could be closer to his mother, his half-brother...and her. He added he'd like to get to know her better.
At Society, Audra and Nate discussed Damian going to work with Nate. Audra mentioned picking up Nate's dry cleaning and would take it in with hers. Nate pointed out that's the type of thing a girlfriend would do. Audra said she wanted to treat Nate to their meal. She has the money now that Victor has sent the first financial installment for her company. Audra asked Nate not to speak harshly about Victor.
Claire and Kyle approached Audra and Nate. Audra was surprised that Claire knew about Victor funding Audra's company. Kyle said it made no difference to him that Victor and Audra teamed up. Kyle wished Audra well, professionally. Nate was surprised. Kyle said he shouldn't have let the past affect his current objectivity. Kyle noted it was a big world and there was room for lots of companies to thrive. He added he owed his new take on Audra all to Claire.
Kyle touted that he and Claire were happy. Audra said she welcomed a peace treaty with Kyle. There was no need for competition as long as they could support one another. Nate noted that Kyle and Audra have come a long way. "What the hell was that about?" Nate asked Audra after Kyle and Claire left to sit at their table.
Nate noted to Audra that she hated Kyle, so he was surprised by her new attitude towards him. Audra said that being hateful wasn't healthy. Nate didn't believe her. "I can't control Kyle's attitude," Audra countered. Nate wasn't sure that Kyle was willing to let things go. Nate said it was no coincidence that Victor, Claire's grandfather and Kyle's nemesis, was funding her company.
Audra suggested to Nate that maybe she and Kyle have changed and grown. Nate questioned Audra about her partnering with Victor and her company. "Something doesn't add up," Nate said. Audra stated that she needed to be strategic if she was going to pull this off. Nate wondered what that meant. "Tell me what's really going on," Nate inquired.
Meanwhile, Kyle asked Claire why she let Audra know that she knew that Victor was funding her company. Claire, in turn, asked Kyle why it upset her that she let Audra know. Claire didn't buy Kyle wanting to make peace. She said she didn't like Kyle's plan to try to take down Audra.
Kyle wasn't sure why Claire had a soft spot for Audra. Claire countered that her concern was about Kyle caring about Audra. Kyle claimed he simply didn't want either Audra or Victor to pose a threat to them. Claire felt there was more happening between them and told Kyle that Audra got under his skin.
