In the Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024 episode of The Young and the Restless,
the fierce rivalry between Audra and Kyle reaches new levels of intensity as they
battle for control over GLAAD. Audra’s plan to outmaneuver Kyle and regain her
place as Victor Newman’s trusted ally quickly falls apart, leaving her scrambling to find a way to bounce back.
The episode begins with Audra confidently sitting at her desk, staring at her computer screen where she has meticulously gathered important information about GLAAD’s suppliers. Her plan is straightforward: sever Kyle Abbott’s ties with Bob Elton, a key supplier, and then step in as the hero to save the company. She is determined to undermine Kyle’s leadership and position herself as the one to rescue GLAAD, hoping this will restore her standing with Victor Newman. Audra places a call to Bob, fully expecting him to comply with her request. Their past working relationship had been strong, and Audra is certain she can rely on his support.
However, just as she thinks her plan is coming together, Kyle Abbott enters her office with a smug look plastered across his face. His tone is dripping with arrogance as he confronts her about her latest scheme. “I hear you’ve been busy trying to outmaneuver me,” Kyle says, his words filled with mockery. “But I already signed the contract with Bob yesterday. You’re too late. He was playing you the whole time.” Kyle’s smirk grows wider as he delivers the crushing news, leaving Audra speechless.
Audra’s face contorts with anger as she realizes that Bob Elton, the supplier she thought she could manipulate, had outsmarted her. He had gone behind her back and signed a deal with Kyle, leaving her out in the cold. The betrayal stings deeply, and the weight of her miscalculation hits hard. She had relied too heavily on her past influence, believing that Bob’s loyalty was guaranteed. But Kyle, ever the strategist, had beaten her to the punch.
“You think this is funny, don’t you?” Audra snaps, her voice trembling with fury. “You think you’ve won just because of one deal? Don’t be so sure, Kyle. You haven’t won anything yet.” Her anger radiates off of her, but Kyle is unfazed. He laughs, dismissing her outburst with ease. “You’re predictable, Audra,” he says, his voice mocking. “Always scheming, always thinking you’re the smartest person in the room. But you’re not as clever as you think you are.”
The animosity between them is palpable. Their shared history is filled with power plays, betrayals, and constant one-upmanship. Kyle had already humiliated Audra once before, forcing her out of her position at GLAAD. Now, it seems he’s doing it again, and he’s enjoying every moment of it. However, Audra is not one to back down so easily. She silently vows to make him pay for every slight, every act of betrayal. Their battle for control over GLAAD has become deeply personal, and the stakes have never been higher.
As Kyle leaves the room, Audra is left seething. She knows she needs to come up with a new plan, a way to turn this setback into an opportunity. Her mind races with possibilities, but doubt begins to creep in. Bob Elton had played both sides, entertaining her offer while secretly making deals with Kyle. Can she still trust him? Or has he been using her from the start? The uncertainty gnaws at her, leaving her unsure of who her real allies are.
The realization that she may have misjudged Bob adds another layer of frustration. She had counted on his support, but if he could be swayed by Kyle, he might not be the ally she needs. Audra sits in silence, simmering with anger and determination. The rivalry between her and Kyle has gone on for too long, and it’s starting to take its toll. The endless cycle of scheming and betrayal has begun to wear thin, and even the audience can sense that this storyline is reaching a breaking point. Both Audra and Kyle are desperate for control, but the question remains: how far will they go to achieve it, and who will emerge victorious in this never-ending battle for power
