The Young and the Restless recap for Tuesday, July 15, featured escalating tensions and shocking revelations as Cane, Phyllis, Nick, and others dealt with a potential murder in the club car. As suspicions rose, so did the doubts about Cane’s involvement in the crime.
What Happened on Y&R?
Cane’s (Billy Flynn) guests gathered in the club car to discuss the unsettling situation. Nick (Joshua Morrow) couldn’t help but wonder if Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) knew what had happened, given her proximity to the scene. Amanda (Mishael Morgan) wanted to speak with her client, but Cane insisted he had nothing to hide.
Meanwhile, Lily (Christel Khalil) grew increasingly eager for answers, while Chance (Conner Floyd) warned that the investigation would be unconventional, given that he had no authority there.
Cane denied any wrongdoing, but the group was unsettled. Nick pointed out that not everyone was present, and Chance explained that the authorities wouldn’t be arriving for hours. While Lily was shocked to learn that Damian (Jermaine Rivers) had been murdered, the conversation shifted to whether Cane might have had a motive.
Devon (Bryton James) expressed concern about being considered a suspect, but Cane assured them he had no suspicion of anyone in particular.

Chance’s Investigation and Phyllis’ Account
Chance began questioning everyone individually, starting with Phyllis. She admitted she’d been lost in the maze with Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) before they split up. Phyllis gave Chance a detailed account of what she had witnessed.
She described Cane lowering Damian’s body to the ground but insisted that neither of them had touched the weapon. Chance pressed Phyllis for more information, even suggesting that she might be covering for Cane to secure a job. Phyllis firmly denied any involvement in the cover-up.
Meanwhile, Nick spoke with Sharon (Sharon Case) about the crime, explaining that Damian had been stabbed with an antique dagger. Sharon was shocked by the news and by the fact that Phyllis had witnessed the aftermath.
Nick couldn’t shake the feeling that Cane might try to blame someone, particularly Victor (Eric Braeden), for the attack. Sharon, concerned about Phyllis, worried about how this would affect her moving forward.
Cane and Amanda’s Tense Conversation
In the dining area, Cane and Amanda had a tense conversation. Amanda urged Cane to be honest about the events, reminding him that the facts weren’t looking good.
Cane maintained that there was no evidence linking him to the murder, but Amanda pointed out that he was the only one who had been with Damian when he died. Cane tried to justify his actions, reminding Amanda that the dagger was intended for him, and he had been drugged, just like Damian.
Amanda was not convinced, listing facts that seemed to point directly at Cane. She also called out his refusal to contact the authorities, insisting that they had the jurisdiction to investigate.

Lily’s Struggle with Damian’s Death
Lily, emotionally shaken by Damian’s death, found herself questioning everything. As Abby (Melissa Ordway) offered comfort, Lily couldn’t help but wonder if she was somehow to blame for Damian’s death. She wrestled with the idea that Cane might have been the one to kill him, even though she still couldn’t believe he would go so far.
Devon reminded Lily that they knew little about Damian and suggested that his ties to Cane might be more complicated than they realized.
A Dagger
In a shocking twist, Nick returned to the club car, holding the missing dagger in a bag. He told Chance and Phyllis that he found it in the bathroom of his car, claiming, “Someone is setting me up!”
