The Young and the Restless The Young and the Restless (Y&R) recap for Friday, April 3, reveals that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) will meet with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and put him to work on a risky mission. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will have multiple threats rising against him, so here’s what Y&R fans can expect. At Crimson Lights, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) will agree it’d be nice if they could get past all the weirdness, so they’ll reflect on their past together as they chat.

After the topic of Audra’s miscarriage comes up, Noah will end up holding hands with her right as Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) spots the warm moment.

Sienna and Audra will be fake polite to each other before Audra’s forced to watch Sienna canoodle with Noah. Once Holden arrives, he’ll call Audra out for wanting Noah.

Holden will voice concerns about Sienna’s inside knowledge of what happened in Los Angeles, but Audra will downplay the threat. As for Sienna, she’ll suggest to Noah that they should trade stories about their history with Audra sometime.

Next, Cane will meet with Holden on the patio and admit he’s got another job for him to do right there in town.

After Cane hints that things will get ugly, he’ll wonder if Holden’s willing to get his hands dirty. Holden won’t mind depending on how much the job pays and who they’re getting ugly against. Cane will assure Holden that it pays well and question if he’s OK with making a move against Victor.

At the GCAC, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) will confront Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) about Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) kidnapping drama and will surprise her by revealing Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) was the woman involved.

Victoria will end up suggesting that Patty might’ve drugged Jack before implying that Jack might not have been drugged at all. As usual, Victoria will make excuses for Victor and prove she’s loyal to her father.

Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) will join the confrontation, so Victoria will insist she might want to place blame closer to home for her crumbling marriage. Once Diane is alone with Kyle, she’ll basically admit Victoria is right.

Despite his drugging claims, Diane will feel like Jack was in his right mind when they found him in bed with Patty.

At Society, Jack and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will commiserate over their marriage issues. Nikki will put it together that Patty was the woman on the yacht and will see why Jack wants revenge. However, Nikki will feel like Patty’s return changes things since now they have to deal with that madwoman, too.

Nikki will agree Victor needs to be taught a lesson, but she’ll want the feud to end more than anything.

If Jack goes after vengeance, Nikki will have concerns about Victor continuing the cycle. Jack will argue that he can’t just stand by and let Victor get away with this.

Whether Nikki helps him or not, Jack will be determined to move forward with his payback plot. Although Jack won’t have the details nailed down yet, he’ll plan to hit Victor hard and make sure he doesn’t see it coming.

Back at the GCAC, Kyle will step away from Diane to take a phone call.

Diane will see Jack enter nearby, so they’ll lock eyes and seem like they’re both in pain. At the Newman ranch, Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) will confront Victor over Jack’s abduction drama, but he’ll defend everything he’s doing for his family and to reclaim the Newman empire. Victor will also talk about planning to weaponize Chancellor against Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

After Victor mentions Victoria will be helping him, he’ll push Claire to come work alongside them.

Victoria will pop up to collect some things for Nikki, but Victor will shut down her attempts to help them compromise. As for Claire, she’ll speak to Victoria privately about Victor’s job offer.

Claire won’t know if she can accept it if Victor’s going to keep hurting people. The Young and the Restless spoilers say Claire will have a tough decision to mull over, so stay tuned for more news on her future.

CDL will have all the sizzling Young and the Restless spoilers and news you need, so make us your favorite Y&R hotspot.
