The Young and The Restless day ahead recap for Tuesday, November 10 reveals Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) developed frightening symptoms.

Also, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) laid into Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) asked Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) for a favor.

Key Takeaways

• Abby suffers frightening symptoms and Devon calls an ambulance
• Devon offers Traci and Daniel positions at his new school
• Nikki lashes out at Sharon over the Jabot photo shoot
• Nick confesses his struggles and reveals he has kept pills
• Victor asks Jack to help prevent Billy and Adam from clashing

Devon And Abby Talk, Traci Stops By Society

Abby and Devon Winters (Bryton James) are lingering at Society after dropping their son at school, and Abby reports that her nausea has vanished; a passing bug, she decides.

The odds of a pregnancy were close to zero anyway, and they already have a wonderful kid at home.

Devon, being the careful husband he is, still wants her to schedule a few more tests.

Then Society turns into a job fair; Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) stops by for a chat, and Devon asks her to lead the creative writing department at his new school.

She’s flattered and a little overwhelmed, since the classes don’t start until next fall but the role sounds like a full-time commitment—she promises to think it over.

Daniel Complains About Working With His Mother

Next comes Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei), who slides onto a barstool to vent about working with his mother, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

He says everything with her turns into winning and revenge, and he’s starting to wonder whether he chose wrong.

Abby gently admits he never struck her as the corporate type, and then she gets an idea; she marches him straight to Devon and suggests he hire Daniel to chair the graphic arts department.

Daniel is stunned, especially given his history with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), but Devon confesses the offer was his idea first and says everyone has moved on.

Daniel admits his new job complicates things and promises to be in touch.

Abby Develops Frightening Symptoms

Devon is now officially recruiting members of Phyllis’ staff, and it’s difficult to imagine Phyllis reacting calmly to the news.

Abby tells Traci that her pregnancy test came back negative, and Traci agrees with Devon that getting additional tests is a sensible next step.

But as Abby heads back to her husband, her heart suddenly starts racing, and she clutches her chest.

Devon quickly guides her into a chair and calls for an ambulance.

After a morning filled with encouraging news, everyone is now confronted with a far more frightening situation.

Nikki Lays Into Sharon, Nick Intervenes

At Crimson Lights, Nikki arrives ready for a fight; she tells Sharon that modeling for Jabot created a conflict of interest and that Sharon should have consulted the Newmans first.

Sharon retorts that Nikki is only threatened by Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters).

Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) steps into the argument, hears Sharon’s side, and urges them both to take a breath.

Nikki—who has never been one to calm down on command—accuses Sharon of making “questionable decisions,” cancels her tea, and storms out.

It may be Genoa City’s most theatrical café exit ever, all over a single cup of tea.

Sharon Talks To Nick About His Mother—And He Talks To Her About Marie And His Progress

After Nikki leaves, Sharon tells Nick how his mother interrupted the photo shoot and insulted everyone there.

Nick says Nikki is under tremendous pressure, but Sharon won’t apologize and insists she would make the same choice again.

She does apologize for putting him in the position of choosing sides, then turns to the question that matters most: has he been working his steps?

Nick admits he’s been struggling; his visit with Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow) the previous day took a lot out of him.

He looks around, then pulls out several bags of pills—he confesses that he took them from someone and has kept them as a test of his sobriety; Sharon asks whether he passed.

Victor Asks Jack For A Favor

At the Abbott estate, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) kisses Diane goodbye before work when Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) shows up; Victor warns that Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) is about to cause serious trouble and asks Jack to help stop him.

Jack would rather let Billy and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) handle their own problems, but Victor suggests they team up to keep the men apart.

Jack is surprised Victor came to him, realizing how worried he must be.

Victor fears Adam is heading for disaster and hurts to see his son struggling over the baby.

Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) doesn’t know how often Adam has been visiting; Jack agrees the situation is troubling and promises to keep watch.

Phyllis And Daniel Clash

At the GCAC, Phyllis and Daniel clash over their real estate strategy—Phyllis wants to outbid the Newmans at every turn, but Daniel believes the business model is a disaster.

He suggests she hire a Chief Revenge Officer, then walks away.

A few moments later, Diane arrives and compliments Phyllis on her work at the club before explaining why she’s there: Jabot wants to reserve the lounge for Valentine’s Day.

As they negotiate, Diane stresses that it’s strictly business, while Phyllis asks for time to consider the offer.

Diane then discreetly increases the amount.

Phyllis Wants To Know Why Diane Wants The Room, And Nikki Barges In

Phyllis asks why Diane is so determined to book the room; Nikki barges in with a blunt answer: she wants it, and that’s reason enough.

Diane snaps that Nikki is only upset because she can’t compete after the photo shoot—eager for the details, Phyllis settles in with peanuts, ready for a show.

Nikki says Pietro (Jai Rodriguez) is working with her and suspects he’s been feeding Diane inside information.

Diane dismisses Vibrante as Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver)’s recycled trash, while Nikki calls Jabot worn out; both offer more money, but Phyllis remains unimpressed.

Nikki says renting to her would be a good way to thank Victor; Diane reminds Phyllis that Victor had her arrested.

Daniel Returns To See The Women Still Arguing

When Daniel comes back, he discovers Diane and Nikki still making their pitches while his mother sits back and enjoys the spectacle.

He’s upset that she humiliates people who come to do business with her, so he takes her aside and reprimands her for turning the company into a weapon.

Phyllis dismisses his concerns, saying Nikki is desperate to revive her career and Diane is trapped at a stodgy company, then leaves her son to deal with the fallout.

Offered another job just an hour earlier, Daniel gives the two women an awkward smile and wonders how this all became his problem.

Annemarie’s Take

Abby’s frightening symptoms are especially worrying after her disappointing pregnancy results. I hope Devon gets some answers soon! Meanwhile, Nick carrying those pills around to test his sobriety sounds like a dangerous gamble, and Sharon has every reason to be concerned. As for Nikki and Diane, Phyllis must be loving every minute of their ridiculous bidding war. But Daniel looks ready to walk away from the whole mess!
