The Young and the Restless recap (July 23, 2025): Kyle exposes Victor’s scheme while Carter raises alarms

In the recent episode of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless aired on July 23, 2025, Kyle told Victor he knew about the plan to break him and Claire up, but Victor brushed him off and focused on a bigger issue. Chance told Victor that Carter’s actions didn’t add up, and Victor feared Carter might be programmed to kill.

Meanwhile, Nick and Sharon stayed locked in the attic. Sharon calmed down, and together they found old items that gave clues about Cane’s wealth and the history of the estate. They began to suspect there was more to the property than they thought.

In the garden, Phyllis was caught spying on Audra and Lily. She defended Cane and Nick while pointing the finger at Audra. Inside, Amanda and Cane argued over the security footage. Neither trusted the other, and Cane still refused to let Nick and Sharon go, wanting to use them as leverage.

Nick and Sharon uncover secrets

Nick and Sharon were still trapped in the attic but grew closer as they worked together. Sharon felt better after her panic attack, and they searched the room for clues. They found old photos and papers showing the estate once belonged to a winemaking family.

Nick guessed the maze outside was built over an old vineyard. They started to wonder how Cane got the property and if his wealth had a darker source. With no way out yet, they knew they had to act fast. Nick gave Sharon a wire from a Champagne bottle, and she tried to pick the lock, hoping they could escape soon.
