The Young and the Restless spoilers for November 4-8 focus on enemies in the form of Phyllis versus Sharon. Mysteries materialize as Nate contemplates Amy Lewis’s request. Strategies help Billy reconnect with Lily.

Phyllis and Summer

Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) is laser-focused on one thing: making Sharon (Sharon Case) confess to killing Heather (Vail Bloom). So, look for her to back Sharon into a corner. Which Sharon will respond to the threat? The Sharon that’s completely unstable? Or the Sharon that’s unpredictable and a force to be reckoned with?

Meanwhile, Daniel’s (Michael Graziadei) arrest causes issues for Summer (Allison Lanier) and Chance (Conner Floyd). The fact that Chance arrested her brother might be giving Summer the ick. After all, she hates that he’s not even looking elsewhere for the murderer. In other news, Summer causes problems for Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Claire (Hayley Erin). Something tells us Summer might not want to get on Claire’s bad side. Is that what’s about to happen here?

The Professional and Personal

Billy’s (Jason Thompson) professional and personal lives are both chock-filled with drama. First, he and Sally (Courtney Hope) kissed. But now he’s going to romance Sally. Both Billy and Sally have apparently forgotten about Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan).

Look for Billy to take a few steps back professionally when he’s forced to make amends with Lily (Christel Khalil). He made such a big deal about Lily betraying him that he fired her and made sure he was the sole voice at the head of Chancellor-Abbott. How does he think he can make any sort of amends with his ex? He doesn’t think he has done anything wrong. Let’s see how this all transpires. How will Lily even take this? Will she laugh in his face?

Odds and Ends

We haven’t seen much of Traci and Alan since they returned to Genoa City. Although Traci (Beth Maitland) has done her best to play middlewoman between Jack and Diane. It’s a fruitless endeavor so far, however. Thankfully, we can focus on something happier with Traci when she surprises Alan (Christopher Cousins — who was recently on ABC’s High Potential). Is Alan good with surprises?

Elsewhere, Nate (Sean Dominic) finally makes a decision about helping a dying Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford) find her son. Sure, the guy is Nathan’s son, meaning he’ll be older than Nate. But he sounds like a mess and needs all the help he can get. Will Nate say yes to diving into this mess?

A down-and-out Diane (Susan Walter) sends a cryptic message. She’s been trying to enlist Victor (Eric Braeden) to help her get revenge on Jack (Peter Bergman). But when she sends that message, does she get it to Jack? Does this mean Jack and Diane’s marriage meltdown is just a ruse? Still praying for this. Finally, Victor surprises Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) when he brings her “home” to the Newman Ranch. The newly rebuilt ranch is part of Y&R’s 13,000th-episode milestone.
