The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal a dramatic turn as

Kyle Abbott’s desperate attempt to win back Summer Newman takes center stage.

The setting is serene—an idyllic park bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun,

where Kyle and Claire walk together, enjoying what seems to be a peaceful, perfect evening. Claire has longed for this moment, believing that everything between them has fallen into place, especially after their recent time spent together. She hopes this will finally lead to something deeper, something real.

As they approach a quiet spot near a familiar park bench, Claire’s heart races. This is the very spot where Kyle had shared a passionate kiss with Summer weeks earlier, a kiss that still lingers in his memory. Claire, however, is oblivious to this and leans in for what she believes is a magical, romantic kiss. For Claire, the moment is filled with hope and the promise of a new beginning. But for Kyle, the kiss tells a different story.

The second their lips meet, Kyle’s mind drifts back to Summer. No matter how much he has tried to move on, he realizes in that instant that Summer still holds his heart. The irony of the situation is painfully clear: here he is with Claire, in the same place where he had once kissed Summer, but instead of feeling the joy and excitement Claire does, he’s overwhelmed by memories of Summer—the woman he’s never truly stopped loving.

Claire, lost in the moment, doesn’t notice the turmoil brewing inside Kyle. She pulls back with a smile, her eyes filled with hope, but Kyle is consumed with guilt. He knows it isn’t fair to Claire. She is kind, sweet, and genuine, but his heart is still with Summer. Kyle can’t continue leading Claire on, and he realizes that now is the time to be honest before things spiral out of control.

As they stroll back towards the center of the park, Kyle struggles to find the right words. “Claire,” he begins, his voice heavy with guilt, “I need to tell you something.” Claire’s smile fades as she senses the shift in his tone. “What is it, Kyle?” she asks, her eyes searching his for answers. Kyle swallows hard, knowing the truth will hurt but unable to keep it inside any longer. “You’re amazing, Claire, but my heart… it belongs to someone else.”

Claire’s face falls as the weight of his words sinks in. “You mean Summer, don’t you?” she asks quietly, already knowing the answer. Kyle nods, his voice barely above a whisper. “Yes. I thought I could move on, that being with you would help me forget, but it’s not fair to you. I don’t want to hurt you more than I already have.” Tears well up in Claire’s eyes, but she remains composed, the pain evident in her voice. “I understand. It’s better that I know now before things go any further.”

With a weak smile, Claire wipes away a tear, and Kyle feels the sting of guilt, knowing she deserved better. As Claire walks away, Kyle is left with the ache of causing her pain but also the clarity of knowing where his heart truly lies. It’s Summer. It has always been Summer.

Determined to win back the love of his life, Kyle puts his plan into motion the following evening. He prepares to propose to Summer, hoping that this grand gesture will show her how much he still loves her. With everything meticulously arranged—a ring, the perfect setting, and their son Harrison present to make the moment even more special—Kyle believes this is his chance to make things right.

In the park, with Harrison playing nearby, Kyle nervously approaches Summer. She’s standing with Chance, looking happy but distant. Kyle hopes that by proposing, he can bridge the gap between them and reignite the love they once shared. Without warning, he drops to one knee, his heart racing. “Summer,” he begins, his voice trembling with emotion, “I know I’ve made mistakes, but I love you. I always have. You’re the one I want to spend my life with. Will you marry me?”

For a moment, time seems to stand still. Summer is taken aback, her breath catching in her throat as she gazes down at Kyle. His proposal is everything she had once dreamed of, yet now, things have changed. She loves Chance, who has been there for her in ways Kyle hadn’t. But her history with Kyle is undeniable, and her heart is torn.

As Summer glances at Chance, standing nearby with a composed but confident expression, the weight of her decision presses down on her. This isn’t just about the past—it’s about the future she wants. And in this moment, everything hangs in the balance.
