The Rinse Y&R October 24: Sally’s Gamble on Audra Tests More Than Business

Sally Spectra takes a bold stand, choosing trust over caution as she bets on Audra’s loyalty—and challenges Billy to believe in her vision.

In the October 24 episode of The Young and the Restless, Sally made a bold move that could reshape both her career and her relationship. By choosing to keep Audra in her new company despite Billy’s growing concerns, Sally set in motion a power play that tested loyalty, ambition, and trust in equal measure.

Key Takeaways

• Sally refuses to back down after Billy questions her decision to keep Audra in their new venture.
• Billy fears Audra’s reputation could threaten the company’s stability and his mother’s investment.
• Their disagreement exposes deeper cracks between personal loyalty and professional control.
• Sally’s determination to stand alone could cost her more than she expects.

Sally Doubles Down on Her Decision

At Society, Sally (Courtney Hope, who had a different experience) and Billy (Jason Thompson) appeared in sync as they brainstormed the next phase of Abbott Communications—until the topic of Audra (Zuleyka Silver) surfaced. Billy, ever the cautious strategist, warned that aligning with someone as unpredictable as Audra could backfire. Her track record of burned bridges made her, in his words, “a liability wrapped in charm.”

Sally, however, wasn’t swayed. She defended Audra as a creative mind worth betting on, someone who could help them reimagine their launch strategy. Her insistence wasn’t just about business—it was about autonomy. After years of being doubted by men in power, Sally was determined not to let another one dictate her choices.

A Partnership Built on Uneasy Ground

Billy’s skepticism wasn’t entirely unfounded. He’d worked too hard to rebuild his reputation after years of impulsive decisions. With his mother Jill quietly watching from the wings, every move felt like a test. Sally’s refusal to loop Jill in about Audra’s role struck him as both reckless and familiar—a reminder of how ambition can cloud judgment.

As their conversation deepened, so did the tension. Billy accused Sally of hiring Audra out of friendship, not logic. Sally countered that his protectiveness was starting to feel like control. What began as a business discussion shifted into something far more personal: a clash of values between a man afraid of falling again and a woman refusing to play small.

Audra’s Wild Card Energy

Audra’s return injected volatility into their partnership. Her confidence at the meeting masked unease as Billy described her role as “in flux.” Sally, meanwhile, tried to project stability, insisting the arrangement would work—if everyone trusted her judgment. But trust in Genoa City rarely lasts long.

Kim Zolciak Confirms Romance With Married Boyfriend Kyle Mowitz, Shares How Long They’ve Been Dating, and Reacts to Ariana’s Split From Hudson, Plus Talks Parents

Kim Zolciak just made her relationship with Kyle Mowitz Instagram official.

Following news regarding her alleged role in his $100 million divorce from his estranged wife, Jillian Green, and after the 47-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta alum was spotted outside of Kyle’s Georgia home, Kim took to her Instagram Story, where she answered questions about their romance, commented on Ariana Biermann‘s split from Hudson McLeroy, dished on her recent reconciliation with her parents, Karen and Joe Zolciak, and more.

“Are you dating anyone?” a fan asked Kim on October 22, after she requested her audience “ask [her] a question.”

“Yes … almost [two] years after I filed for divorce I went on my first date and we have been together since,” Kim replied, confirming that Kyle is the first person she has dated since she split from Kroy Biermann, 40, in May 2023.

A second person asked, “Was it hard letting yourself be vulnerable with a new man?”

“Yes,” Kim admitted. “However Kyle and I went through the exact same situation so we identify with each other.”

Moving on to Ariana, 24, star of Next Gen NYC, Kim reacted to someone who suspected their split was for the show.

“My baby [Ariana Biermann] [lives] her life authentically and always has! What you see is what you get!” Kim insisted.

Then, after posting a selfie with her mom and telling her online audience she “[loves] her mom,” Kim responded to another fan who remembered their estrangement.

“My parents and I have had some ups and downs but life is way too short and I would never be the person I am today without them,” she wrote.

Kim then seemingly gave a nod to her messy split from Kroy after someone else said they admired her resilience.

“Awe thank you so much,” she replied. “It’s been a very long painful, hard and sad road but it was the best for me … I FINALLY chose me and my kids.”

Another IG user asked Kim how she stays so positive.

“How do you remain positive in the face of adversity?” they wondered.

“#1 God #2 My kids #3 My family,” she explained. “[And] I have the best friends ever.”
