The Young and the Restless Recap: Summer Sets a Trap For Billy

The Young and the Restless recap for Tuesday, August 21 features turmoil ahead for the Newmans, as Rey made contact with them, and Nate hit a nerve with Victoria.

Plus, Phyllis got suspicious about Summer and Billy, and Kyle offered Mariah help with Tessa.

Photo Finish
Rey (Jordi Vilasuso) played the ‘don’t I know you?’ card with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). She doesn’t. So Rey butt in on her lunch with Victor (Eric Braeden) and asked for a selfie.

Later, he looked over photos of Phyllis, Sharon (Sharon Case), and Victoria, too. Is he making a set of trading cards?

Earlier, Victor told Victoria (Amelia Heinle) that he hopes Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) Dark Horse is a huge success – so Victor can take it over and make Nick work for him again.

Victoria also butted heads with Nate (Brooks Darnell), who came to ask about her parents’ health but ended with worrying about Victoria’s stress levels. She told him to back off!

Coffee Break
Summer (Hunter King) bumped into Billy (Jason Thompson) and spilled coffee on her blouse. Naturally, she had to take it off. Naturally, that was Phyllis’s (Gina Tognoni) cue to come in.

She bought Billy’s explanation – which happened to be the truth but later asked Billy whether he thinks Summer did it on purpose. Billy suggested they find their own place to live.

Meanwhile, Summer tried to get Lauren (Tracey Bregman) to send her on the same business trip as Billy. Lauren liked Summer’s pitch so much, she decided to go on the trip, instead. Also, Lauren isn’t an idiot.

So Summer booked a room in the same hotel as Billy – on her own dime.

Help From a Friend
Mariah (Camryn Grimes) was upset about Tessa (Cait Fairbanks), so Kyle (Michael Mealor) offered to hire a private detective to find her. Mariah warned that Kyle might get her to like him…
