The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of October 27–31, 2025 (America/New_York) bring a corporate cold war to a boil. Jack Abbott and Billy Abbott move against Victor Newman, Phyllis Summers swaps intel with Billy, Kyle Abbott pushes Sienna Bacall for answers about Holden, and Michael Baldwin gets a stark test from Victor. These Young and the Restless spoilers track daily teases and day-ahead recaps so you don’t miss key moves in Genoa City.

Wednesday’s (October 29, 2025) day-ahead recap spells out the stakes: Jack and Billy “declare war on Victor” while Nick Newman and Kyle “press Sienna for answers.” Recaps note that this USA episode “airs in the USA on October 29,” and that updates “go live by 4:15 PM EST daily.”

Thursday, October 30: Billy & Phyllis trade intel; “Jack is desperate”; Victor will “allow Michael to beg”

On Thursday, October 30, Phyllis and Billy meet face-to-face for a covert exchange. The spoiler photo preview calls out exactly what’s on the table: “Why Cane’s AI weapon, of course.” The same preview underscores the trust issue: Billy and Phyllis “trade intel — but can either of them really be trusted?”

The day’s episode guide is blunt: “Jack is desperate.” It also teases a breakthrough with Victor and his longtime consigliere: Victor is going to “allow Michael to beg for his forgiveness once again.”

A headline spoiler for the day puts the banner back on Billy and Phyllis—“Team Up”—while adding a parallel beat in Newman-land: Victor “Allows Michael to Grovel.”

Mid-week in Los Angeles: Nikki & Victoria rally; Kyle interrogates Sienna about Holden; Phyllis “looks out for Phyllis”

As the LA front heats up on Wednesday, October 29, Nikki Newman and Victoria Newman are in Los Angeles supporting Nick and Noah, with Sharon also on the scene. The same preview highlights Kyle’s next move—he “questions Sienna about Holden.” And in classic Genoa City fashion, one line captures Phyllis’s survival mode: “Phyllis looks out for Phyllis.”

How we got here: Victor has Cane’s AI… and Phyllis is the spark

Young & the Restless - Cane is scolded for having his AI program stolen, and Phyllis shows Victor the program.

In the day-ahead installment tied to October 29, Billy rushes into the Abbott house and hears Jack’s alarm bell: “Victor has stolen the AI and will be coming after Jabot.” It follows a recent chain where Phyllis “sold the AI to Victor with a surprising caveat.”

That dovetails with the daily recap timeline that laid it out plainly the day before: “Phyllis made a deal with Victor to use Cane’s AI against Jack and take over Jabot.”

One same-week analysis frames the strategic twist this way: “Cane could be using his AI software to find out who’d be gullible enough to steal it and take the fall.” The commentary’s Key Takeaways include: “Jack finds out that someone has stolen Cane’s AI program,” he “feels that Victor could be behind it,” and “Phyllis got her hands on Cane’s AI.”

Phyllis’s motive, Billy’s leverage, and Jack’s line in the sand

While photos show Billy and Phyllis leaning in for that exchange, the write-up needles the truth question again: after “stealing the AI program from Cane,” Phyllis has been “gaslighting anyone who accuses her of the theft (namely, Cane).” The tease asks whether her information will be “the truth” or a lie.

At the same time, the Oct. 29 recap paints an Abbott stance that’s anything but ambiguous. Jack “gets angry” and warns Billy that if Phyllis “has anything to do with this, she’ll get what’s coming to her!” The Abbott brothers then align, with the recap header crystal-clear: “Jack and Billy Declare War on Victor.”

Kyle vs. Sienna: Holden, LA, and the truth Nick wants for Noah

Across town, Kyle “offers Sienna a deal,” a day-ahead moment that flows into the LA interrogation beat where Kyle “questions Sienna about Holden.” The Tuesday-to-Wednesday rhythm puts Nick’s urgency in the room too, as he “searches for the truth about Noah’s accident, pressing Sienna for answers she seems reluctant to give.” 

Friday setup: Jack confronts Victor; Michael’s second chance; Kyle returns home

As the week crests, a Thursday scoop for October 30 maps out Friday’s fallout lines: Jack Abbott will confront Victor Newman “at the ranch,” Billy Abbott will make Phyllis Summers “an interesting offer,” Kyle Abbott will “return home,” and Victor will ask Michael Baldwin “for a favor.”

Who’s circling the board? (Cast & characters referenced this week)

  • Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) — draws a hard line at Jabot and confronts Victor.
  • Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) — teams with Jack; meets Phyllis to “trade intel.”
  • Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) — holds Cane’s AI leverage; will “allow Michael to beg.”
  • Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) — the instigator who “sold the AI to Victor” and may still be playing angles.
  • Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc) — faces a Newman test and potential “second chance.”
  • Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) — presses Sienna about Holden; returns home.
  • Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) — fielding questions in LA about Holden and Noah’s accident.
  • Holden — the off-screen pivot point in Sienna’s interrogation.
  • Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) — pushing Sienna for the truth.
  • Noah Newman — at issue in Nick and Kyle’s questioning of Sienna.
  • Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) & Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) — “support Nick and Noah” in LA; Sharon is present.
  • Sharon — on-site with Nikki and Victoria in LA.
  • Diane (Susan Walters) — part of the Jabot defense orbit this week’s photos and teases keep circling.
  • Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) — the AI’s creator and a wildcard who may be “playing both Phyllis and Victor.”
  • Adam (Mark Grossman) — recent clash with Billy raises the temperature under this week’s business war.
  • Audra & Sally — surface in the recent recap context around Kyle and Jill-side shakeups.

Context, timeline & what to watch next

Nikki and Victoria arrive in Los Angeles, Kyle interrogates Sienna, and Phyllis protects her interests.

Monday, October 27, set a relationship-first tone in photos and teasers, then Tuesday pushed the AI storyline into overt power-play territory heading into Wednesday. By Wednesday, October 29, the Abbott-Newman standoff hits a naming-and-blaming phase, with Jack and Billy explicitly “declaring war” while LA forces triangulate Sienna’s connection to Holden and Noah. Thursday brings the Young and Restless spoilers moment fans have been waiting for: Phyllis and Billy sit down to “trade intel” about Cane’s AI and Jabot’s exposure, even as Victor dangles forgiveness in front of Michael. Friday sets up consequences, with Jack’s ranch confrontation previewed, Michael’s “favor” teased, and Kyle’s return home flagged.

One more wrinkle comes from the week’s think-piece angle: what if Cane’s “AI nightmare” is itself a setup—an algorithmic honey trap meant to expose who would steal it and “take the fall”? If so, Phyllis and Victor could both be walking into Cane’s data-driven tripwire even before Jack makes his stand. 

When and where to catch it

The day-ahead recap tied to the October 29 U.S. airing specifies a reliable cadence: “Recaps go live by 4:15 PM EST daily.” For fans mapping the week of October 27–31, watch for mid-week LA moves, Thursday’s intel trade, and a Friday confrontation that pulls Victor and Michael back into a familiar push-pull.

Conclusion: The Young and the Restless spoilers that matter this week

Every signpost points to the same fault line: Jack and Billy vs. Victor, with Phyllis’s AI gambit as the match. Thursday’s “trade intel” and Victor-Michael test, plus Kyle’s pressure on Sienna over Holden and Noah, give this week its shape. If Cane is indeed running a deeper game, the fallout won’t stop at Jabot. Expect the war to spill into November as Abby, Diane, and Sally get pulled into the blast radius—and keep these The Young and the Restless spoilers on your radar as the AI plot threads tighten.
