The Young and the Restless – Monday, June 23, 2025 – Full Episode Spoilers
Monday’s episode of The Young and the Restless opens a dramatic new chapter in Genoa City, setting the tone for a week full of emotional confrontations, game-changing reveals, and family power struggles. As Cane Ashby’s return continues to rattle old wounds and raise fresh questions, other characters find themselves navigating treacherous emotional waters—some desperately trying to keep secrets hidden, others racing toward painful truths.
Let’s dive into everything that unfolds on this Monday’s episode of Y&R.
👨👩👧 Cane Drops a Bombshell on Jill — Billy Overhears It All
The day starts at Chancellor-Winters, where Cane Ashby meets Jill for what’s supposed to be a quiet conversation. But things quickly escalate when Cane, without hesitation, greets Jill with two startling words: “Hello, Mom.”
Billy, who just happens to be walking in behind Cane, hears everything—and the expression on his face says it all. Shocked, hurt, and furious, Billy confronts them both.
“Did I just hear what I think I heard?”
Cane looks startled, Jill looks cornered, and the air thickens with tension. Cane tries to downplay it, saying he didn’t mean it literally, but Jill’s reaction betrays something deeper.
Later in the episode, Billy confronts Jill alone, demanding the truth. Her eyes well with tears, but she holds her ground… barely.
“There are things I’ve never told anyone,” Jill says quietly. “And I did it to protect all of you.”
What that means is anyone’s guess—but Monday’s episode ends this thread with a cryptic photo of Jill holding a baby… and a name scribbled on the back: Ethan.
❤️ Lily Warns Amanda: Stay Away from Cane
Elsewhere, Lily Winters is struggling to stay composed. She runs into Amanda Sinclair at Crimson Lights and, without mincing words, issues a firm warning.
“Whatever history you and Cane have… don’t drag it into Chancellor-Winters.”
Amanda insists she has no romantic interest in Cane, but Lily isn’t convinced. With tensions already running high, Lily is on edge—and her instincts might not be wrong. Later, we see Amanda texting someone under the table: “He’s starting to remember.”
But remember what? That question will linger in the air until Friday.
💔 Victoria Faces a Paternity Crisis
At Newman Enterprises, Victoria is visibly distracted. Nikki urges her to focus, but Victoria can’t stop thinking about the test results she’s been waiting for. She receives an envelope with DNA confirmation inside and stares at it for what feels like hours.
When she finally opens it, her expression darkens. She makes a call:
“I need to speak to Dumas. Now.”
The show doesn’t reveal what’s in the envelope—yet—but this moment confirms that Victoria’s world is about to implode, and it may not be just about her, but about her daughter’s real parentage.
⚖️ Devon and Nate Face Off Again
At Society, Devon and Nate have yet another tense conversation. Devon has learned that Nate has been working with Audra behind his back on a mysterious acquisition. Nate defends himself, saying it’s a strategic play for the company.
Devon, however, is not buying it.
“This is Chancellor-Winters, not Newman. We don’t play dirty with family.”
Nate fires back, saying the business world doesn’t reward sentimentality. The episode hints at an all-out boardroom war brewing between the cousins—with Lily stuck in the middle.
🧠 Sharon’s Therapy Session Takes a Dark Turn
Back at her practice, Sharon is working with a new patient who remains unnamed but clearly disturbed. Throughout the session, the patient speaks in riddles, referencing “a baby who vanished” and “a house no one remembers.”
As the conversation deepens, Sharon’s eyes widen—this patient may be connected to a cold case from Genoa City’s past. By the end of the session, Sharon pulls out an old newspaper clipping and whispers:
“It can’t be…”
Viewers are left wondering: is this tied to Claire’s secret child? Or is this a new mystery set to erupt?
💬 Nikki and Nick Clash Over Adam
Meanwhile, Nikki and Nick Newman are once again at odds—this time over how to handle Adam. Nikki wants to push him out of all Newman operations once and for all. Nick argues that Adam deserves one last chance to prove himself.
“If we keep cutting him out,” Nick warns, “he’ll give us every reason to turn into the monster you already think he is.”
Nikki, however, is unmoved. She tells Nick that if Adam’s actions cause harm to the family again, she won’t just remove him—she’ll destroy him.
🔚 Final Scene: Jill’s Private Breakdown
The final scene returns us to Jill’s Chancellor mansion. She sits alone with an old photo album, flipping through faded memories. She stops on one page, where we see a baby boy next to a passport stamped “Sydney, 1994.”
As tears stream down her face, Jill whispers:
“I thought I buried this long ago… but the truth always comes back.”
The screen fades to black.
