Y&R SHOCKER: Summer's Return Could DESTROY Kyle’s Love Life — And She Won’t Hold Back! From Claire’s Secret Spiral to Audra’s Girlboss Games, Summer’s Comeback Could Blow It All Up

Summer could easily end both of Kyle's relationships, both personal and professional.

Kyle should count himself as lucky right now. Summer went to Europe to focus on Marchetti. Unfortunately, Alison Lanier isn’t returning to The Young and the Restless anytime soon. Still, we would like to see Summer return in some form, even if it’s Hunter King. She could shake up Kyle’s world in a way he wouldn’t expect.

Expose The Good Girl

Kyle (Michael Mealor) is still in France with Audra (Zuleyka Silver). They were just two of the many people who were invited to Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) party that never was. That’s because Cane exposed himself as Aristotle Dumas. Needless to say, no one’s in the partying mood. They just want to know how to get the heck out of there and head back home to Genoa City, where it seems a little more sane.

Back at home, Claire (Hayley Erin) has been having panic attacks. She’s struggling with the news that her father, Cole (J. Eddie Peck), has Legionnaires’ Disease. Also, during this time, Claire has grown close to Holden (Nathan Owens). The two have been drinking a lot together, which could lead to trouble.

Summer (Allison Lanier) would be the perfect person to catch them in the act. We know that she loves to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, especially since she doesn’t trust Claire. When Kyle’s away, Summer would play and find Claire and Holden having too much to drink.

She’d snap a picture of them getting cozy and send it to Kyle. Even though he doesn’t have access to Wi-Fi or a 5G mobile network, he would eventually get this photo and question his relationship with Claire, which could bring him closer to Audra. But hold on here…

End The Seductress

Audra hopes to succeed at seduction so she can get her hands on Vibranté. She doesn’t mind compromising her morals and values, especially if it gets her what she wants, which is to be a girl boss. However, Summer doesn’t feel comfortable about Kyle’s close relationship with Audra. She didn’t like Audra being around her ex-husband and their son, Harrison (Redding Munsell). But it’s safe to say that Audra doesn’t want anything to do with kids.

Summer could find a way to shake up this couple as well. She would likely find out about Audra’s plan to get close to Kyle and use that against her. We could see her crashing Dumas, I mean, Cane’s party. She’d probably show up with Chance (Conner Floyd) and then catch the two strangely close together.

Then, she’d probably pull Kyle aside and mention his relationship with Claire. We’d love to see him sweat. He’s got it too easy right now. The nepo baby needs to be taken down a notch, even if it’s by his ex. Needless to say, Summer needs to come back. She’s the only one who can set Kyle straight. Not even his parents can help him at this point.
