He was initially angry when he learned that his ex was once again in a relationship with Nick after their affair broke up both their original engagements, but now, Billy will begin to wonder how solid Phyllis’ relationship is after he sees Nick with another woman on the Friday, Dec. 7 episode of “The Young and the Restless.”

Billy (Jason Thompson) has been working with Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) again for a deal they’re trying to score for Jabotique, and being near her again has reignited some of the feelings he had for her on the CBS soap. As a result, he will become concerned when he sees Nick (Joshua Morrow) out to dinner with Rebecca Barlow (Jennifer Taylor) and also sees them leave to go to her hotel together. He will quickly head to Phyllis to inform her that Nick is already cheating, but he will be surprised when he hears the truth instead.

“Nick does Phyllis a favor,” “Y&R” spoilers reveal.

As it turns out, Nick will be out with Rebecca at Phyllis’ request. She asked him to wine and dine with the client, who she wants to land a deal with after Rebecca asked her to make it happen during their meeting. Billy was unaware of that part of the deal because he had walked away from the table, but he will now be brought up to speed. As a result, he will learn how wrong he was about his assumption, and it will wind up revealing his still lingering feelings to Phyllis—further complicating the situation for all of them as a result.

“The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
