The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers recap for Tuesday, January 7, teases that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will fill Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) in on Tessa Porter’s (Cait Fairbanks) latest shocker. Sharon will be taken aback by the news of Tessa’s secret ex-husband. She’ll think a lie of omission is still a lie and will agree that Tessa should’ve told Mariah sooner.
However, Sharon will sense that Mariah wants to give Tessa a pass. She’ll think Mariah has to trust herself on this, so Mariah will embrace Sharon and offer her gratitude. She won’t know what she’d do without Sharon to talk to.
At home, Tessa will tell Tanner Watts (Chase Coleman) that she needs time to mull over his offer. Tanner will assume Tessa’s girlfriend is holding her back, so Tessa will take umbrage and defend Mariah. She’ll point out that Mariah didn’t know Tanner was her ex-husband or that she even had one.
Tanner will wonder if Tessa just erased him from her history. He’ll note that he told his own girlfriend about Tessa and will suggest he could try to talk to Mariah. Tessa will snap that it’s a terrible idea. She’ll think this is something she has to work through with Mariah alone.
Of course, Mariah will walk in on their conversation and botch that plan. After introductions are made, Tanner will praise Mariah for supporting Tessa’s music and providing good management. He’ll think this is a great opportunity, but he’ll warn that the decision will be made for Tessa if she waits too long.
After Tanner exits, Mariah will tell Tessa she thinks she should do it. She’ll get that Tessa lied because she was scared and won’t think she should make another form of the same mistake.
Mariah won’t want to be the reason Tessa turns down the chance at a big tour. Tessa will opt to sleep on it, but Mariah will promise she’ll support whatever Tessa decides. They’ll share an emotional hug moments later.
Over with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), he’ll send Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) off on her Singapore trip while the kids are settled in at the ranch. Once Billy’s alone, The Young and the Restless spoilers say he’ll text Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) to meet up for coffee.
At Crimson Lights, Amanda will mention needing a new challenge, so Billy will think she should tackle the puzzle of their friendship.
Amanda will admit she’s comfortable with Billy and that’s not the case for many people. They’ll ultimately agree to just enjoy their bond for the time being. Talk will turn to Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), so Billy will reflect on his messy history with her. Soon after, Sharon will appear with coffee and express surprise that they know each other.
Billy will explain away his connection to Amanda by suggesting it came through Nate Hastings’ (Sean Dominic) case. After a suspicious Sharon walks off and Amanda says she needs to go, Billy will think to himself about why he had to make an excuse.
At the Grand Phoenix, Y&R spoilers say Summer Newman (Hunter King) will talk to Theo Vanderway (Tyler Johnson) about Lola Abbott’s (Sasha Calle) surprise. Theo will learn it’s for Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and will suggest maybe they’re headed to a ski lodge in Aspen or going clubbing in New York.
Summer won’t think “Kola’s” plans are any of Theo’s business, but Theo will guess those are the kind of trips Kyle would’ve taken Summer on. He’ll know Summer must still think about what would’ve happened if Kyle had stuck with her.
Theo will keep pushing Summer’s buttons about Kyle’s birthday, but she’ll imply that Theo turned down a job in Paris for Lola – who’s happily married.
After Theo asks if Summer’s shared her suspicions with Kyle, she’ll admit she hasn’t. However, Summer will contend that Theo could regret sticking around. She’ll note that Theo could still give Ashley a call, but Theo will confirm that he’s staying right there in GC.
Theo will also believe Summer wants him to break up Kyle and Lola deep down, but Summer will act disgusted by his accusation.
At Society, Lola will bring blindfolded Kyle in for their private party for two. After the blindfold’s removed, Kyle will celebrate his birthday with the first sandwich he ever ordered from Lola’s truck. He’ll also make them some mocktails and admit he used to be a bartender in the Hamptons.
Lola will feel like a lot’s happened between them, but she’ll be excited for what’s next. At the same time, Lola will fret about the honeymoon phase ending. Kyle will insist they can get through anything before sharing a slow dance with his love.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Kyle and Lola will indeed have a lot to get through soon enough! We’ll give you updates as other Y&R details emerge. Stay tuned to the CBS soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Young and the Restless spoilers, updates and news.
