Y&R Day Ahead Recap: Patty spills the beans in a chilling phone call
Monday October 31, 2016: Dylan visits Patty, Chelsea comforts Nick, and Travis gets demoted.
Travis arrives at home as Victoria’s dressing the kids in their costumes. Billy’s there too, and takes the kids to the kitchen. Vikki asks Travis about lunch with Abby – did he try to get her sister to incriminate herself? They bicker. Billy returns with the kids, who want Travis to trick or treat with them. He doesn’t have a costume. Billy quips that he looks like a ghost – that’ll work.
At Jabot, Jack tells Phyllis about fooling Travis in the park. Phyllis is puzzled Victor would send someone new. She mentions the board member, Fielding, seemed nervous. Jack checks out the information she got – it’s exactly what they need to start digging Victor’s grave. He’s keen to get the information to GC Buzz right away; Victor will never see this coming. Phyllis wants to be more thorough. Jack goes for sandwiches.

At Newman, Abby has told Summer about her mom meeting the mole. Victor appears. He stuns them by saying he never left town. Vic asks to speak to Abby alone and asks what she’s so concerned about. Abby reports she saw Curtis Fielding do a briefcase exchange with Phyllis, and is surprised Victor’s not angrier. Vic’s known for a while that Fielding is leaking information to Jack. He let Fielding think he was getting away with it, and it was a test for Travis, which he failed. While he was investigating the family against orders, Abby found the leak. Abby realizes he leaked Jack and Phyllis phony information – he’s setting them up along with GC Buzz.
Summer shows up at Jabot and confronts her mother about what she’s doing – Victor will have her and Jack arrested. Phyllis explains she wants Jack to thinks she’s helping, but she plans to save him from himself. Summer points out she’s lying to him again. They argue. Phyllis doesn’t want a lecture and makes Summer promise to keep quiet. She prays Phyllis knows what she’s doing.
