The Young and the Restless Update: Kyle and Audra get passionate and Carter places Nick under house arrest

Will Kyle lose all because of Audra?

On Friday's episode of The Young and the Restless, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) will give in to their passion, but how far will they go? The two begin by discussing the murder of Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers).

Many fans speculated that Damian's budding romance with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) would end, especially with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) returning. However, no one anticipated that Damian would be murdered. Nick will soon be in over his head with Audra and the murder mystery.

Audra leans on Kyle

Audra becomes frightened by the possibility of a killer on the loose and tells Kyle she feels safe with him. Throughout their time in Cane's world, Audra and Kyle have been engaged in a cat-and-mouse game, both believing they are in control of the situation.

However, their closeness will catch up with them, and they share a kiss that leads to making out. Are they realoloy caught up in the heat of the moment or is this part of their plans to trap one another?

Will Victor get the upper hand?

Regardless of whether they take their passion further, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has enough information to disrupt Kyle's relationship with Claire Newman (Hayley Erin). Claire is back in Genoa City, mourning the death of her father, Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck). She has not been in touch with the man she loves and is unaware that he has been flirting with danger while getting close to Audra in Nice.

Fans have expressed frustration over Victor's manipulation, as he made Kyle sign a contract promising not to hurt Claire; otherwise, he would have to leave Genoa City and pay Victor a million dollars. Many viewers find this storyline to be unrealistic and uninteresting.

Will Kyle get caught in a trap?

Kyle is aware that Audra is working for Victor and trying to trap him and thinks he can stay one step ahead of her— but can he? If something happens betwen them Nate hasting (Dominic Hastings) will also get hurt in the process.

Meanwhile, there are new developments concerning Cane's right-hand man, Carter (Vincent Stabler). Some The Young and the Restless fans suspect that Carter killed Damian to clear the way for Cane to be with Lily and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) agrees.

Did Carter kill Damian?

Nick shares this suspicion as well and been open about his belief that Cane or Carter murdered Damian. Lily has also insisted that her ex-husband is the only one who had a motive to want Damian dead.

However, Cane and Carter have the upper hand while Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) attempts to solve the murder. Victor will question Carter about whether Cane confided in him regarding a plan to murder Damian.

In next week's preview, when asked about how far he might go for his boss, Carter replies: “It is true that I would do anything for Mr. Dumas, but I did not do what you both think I did.”

Viewers are aware that the murder weapon was found in Nick's bathroom, so Carter counters Nick's accusations by suggesting that Nick is the one who murdered Damian and places him under house arrest.

What's really going on?

Some fans wonder if this is all part of a ruse and whether Damian could somehow return alive. While it's unlikely that Damian would do this to Lily, anything can happen in soap operas.

Additionally, viewers know that a gloved hand stabbed Damian while he was talking with Cane through the shrubbery. If not Carter, who else might be in the area with a motive against Damian? Or was he simply collateral damage?

It seems improbable that Billy Flynn's character would be found guilty and go to jail since he has just returned to the show. Stay tuned to The Young and the Restless to find out what happens next with Audra, Kyle, and the rest of Cane's guests.
