The Young and the Restless: Tuesday recap

On Tuesday's episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) found out that too late that Jesse Gaines (Jamison Jones) was working with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). The duo blamed one another until Lily decides it needs to stop because it isn’t helping. Her focus now is on how they’re going to save ChancComm and their employees’ jobs.

Lily wanted to get ahead of the situation and print a retraction and say they were hacked and that the article was released without their approval. Billy showed her on his phone that the story had already broken and it was too late. Meanwhile, Gaines was at Newman Media where a press conference was taking place. He publicly recants everything he told to ChancComm on Newman Media’s streaming site. He insists the letter was fake and told the world about his long-standing grudge against Ashland. He made it look as if Ashland is the victim. Gaines even went so far as to claim to regret his part in the story.

The Young and the Restless: Billy and Lily feel defeated

He threw Blily under the bus by saying that ChancComm never did a fact-check to make sure the story was true and they did not authenticate the letter. added that he believes this is because Billy and Lily had ulterior motives.

Billy was furious because Ashland will now come out smelling like a rose and Lily was shocked that they were painted as "immoral, reckless villains in the public eye". Billy was thankful there is nothing more the Newmans can throw at them, but Lily is concerned that something more is about to happen. Has Jesse Gaines done his worst and is this situation in the rearview mirror or do Victor and Adam have something else up their sleeves?

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jill will return

Jill Atkinson (Jess Walton) will soon arrive in Genoa City and she will be angry at what her son has gotten himself into. She might even target Victor and shame him for tarnishing the reputation of the media division of his good friend Katherine Chancellor's (Jeannie Cooper) company. Jill will be on the warpath but perhaps she might have a strategy for how Billy and Lily can turn things around.

The Young and the Restless viewers know that Billy set himself up for this fall but many want Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) to be exposed. Some fans do not believe he is dying and that he is pulling a scam on the Newman family. Billy and Lily might be down for the count right now but this situation could quickly turn in their favor. Meanwhile viewers are wondering if Victor is done with Gaines and what will be done with him now.

The Young and the Restless: Fans wonder about Ashland

If Ashland really is a snake then he will eventually be exposed and everyone will see that Billy was right all along. Y&R fans cannot understand why Victor is so determined to bury all of this man's crimes and trusted a viper like Gaines to help. Down the road, Victor, Ashland, and Jesse may all end up getting their just deserts. In the meantime, however, this situation will affect Billy and Lily's relationship as well as their business.

Is this the end of Jesse Gaine being in Genoa City and how does he really feel about helping Ashland? Could he double back and do something to hurt Locke or maybe even kill him will he take Victor's money and run? Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) smells a rat because of how smug Adam has been acting so he might keep an eye on things. Billy and Lily have a long way to go to recover if they ever do.
