Y&R Spoilers UPDATE Tuesday, October 17: Audra Tempts Kyle, Phyllis Blackmails Tucker, Bonsai Bonanza!

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Tuesday, October 17 tease that the Abbott family men scheme to keep their company, Jabot, safe from intruders.

Fans will see Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) lead scourge Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John) on a big old detour when he least expect it.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers Highlights

Tucker gave Jack and his new bride Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) a wrapped-up bonsai tree as a wedding gift. He also added an extra little something, a bug to record conversations in the Abbott house.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Jack’s Advantage

Thanks to Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) double agent play, Jack knows about Tucker’s secret, and he plans to use it to his advantage.

As Tucker listens, Jack and Billy spin a strategic tale that misdirects him for now–this corporate espionage tale has more twists and turns than a San Francisco corridor.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Phyllis Deception

Meanwhile, Phyllis works to neutralize her blackmailer, Tucker. He is making her life miserable, forcing her to spy for him via her hacking skills.

In Tuesday’s episode, Phyllis is talking to her son Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) when Tucker demands that she go to his hotel suite. He may have hatched a new revenge plan against Jabot based on his eavesdropping, and wants her to implement it.

Y&R spoilers: Tucker’s Misdirection

But Tucker is not prepared for Phyllis turning the tables on him and blackmailing him with intel of her own!

Phyllis knows about Tucker and Mamie Johnson’s (Veronica Redd) connection and she declares that she will tell his son Devon Hamilton-Winters (Bryton James), Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) everything she knows unless he backs off—pot, meet kettle!

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Audra’s Idyll

Elsewhere, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and dumbo Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) have more forbidden sex. Next comes Audra’s pitch: Kyle should work with her and Tucker!

Why should he do this? Audra thinks it is a good way to stick it to his family, namely Uncle Billy who is standing in the way of Kyle becoming Jabot’s co-CEO.

According to Audra, when (not if) she and Tucker take over Jabot, she and Kyle can be co-CEOs. He doesn’t say yes immediately. Maybe he needs more sexy time? Now who’s zooming who, maybe Kyle is smarter than he looks?!
