The Young And The Restless Spoilers Harrison goes missing on flight

Next week on The Young and the Restless, tragedy and tension grip Genoa City when a child’s disappearance triggers panic, suspicion, and an explosive confrontation that threatens to tear the Abbott family apart. What begins as an innocent family trip quickly turns into a nightmare when Harrison Abbott vanishes mid-flight — and the fallout exposes long-buried secrets that could destroy Kyle’s world forever.

The episode opens at the Abbott mansion, where Kyle Abbott and Summer Newman are preparing to send Harrison on a short trip to visit family abroad. After months of emotional strain and custody disputes, the couple is finally finding common ground, united in their love for their son. Harrison, excited and full of energy, proudly tells his parents that he wants to “be brave like Daddy.” The moment is tender, a glimpse of peace that feels long overdue.

But that peace is shattered hours later. While en route on a private flight to New York, turbulence forces an emergency landing. When authorities arrive to escort passengers to safety, Harrison is nowhere to be found. Panic spreads quickly. Kyle receives the call that every parent dreads — the plane landed safely, but his son is missing. The words hit him like a physical blow.

Back in Genoa City, chaos erupts. Jack and Diane rush to comfort their son, while Summer blames herself for letting Harrison travel without her. The police launch a full investigation, and Victor Newman steps in, offering resources from Newman Enterprises’ security division to assist in the search. “We’ll find your boy,” Victor promises grimly. “Whatever it takes.”

As the investigation unfolds, the story takes a darker turn. Surveillance footage from the private hangar reveals that a man boarded the plane moments before takeoff using falsified credentials — and that man is none other than Holden Ross, a former business associate of Kyle’s who vanished after a scandal years earlier. Holden’s sudden reappearance sets off alarm bells, especially when investigators uncover evidence that the flight may have been sabotaged from the start.

Kyle’s desperation turns to fury. He confides in Jack that Holden once blackmailed him over a shady deal during Kyle’s time running Jabot’s overseas operations — a deal that, if exposed, could destroy his career and reputation. “He swore he’d ruin me if I didn’t pay him off,” Kyle admits, guilt tearing through him. “I thought it was over. I thought he was gone.” Now, with Harrison missing, Kyle fears Holden is making good on his threat.

Meanwhile, Holden contacts Kyle directly, confirming his worst fear. In a chilling phone call, Holden’s voice echoes through the line: “You took everything from me, Kyle. Now it’s your turn to lose.” He taunts Kyle, demanding that he come alone if he ever wants to see his son again. The police urge Kyle not to engage, but he ignores their warnings — determined to save Harrison no matter the cost.

At the same time, Summer receives a mysterious text message from an unknown number: “Don’t trust Kyle. He knows why your son is missing.” Confused and terrified, she confronts him, leading to an explosive argument. Kyle insists he’s innocent, but Summer’s faith wavers as new details about Holden’s past and Kyle’s connection to him begin to surface. “How many lies have you told me?” she demands through tears. “What else are you hiding?”

The tension reaches a boiling point when Kyle tracks Holden to an abandoned airstrip outside Genoa City. In a gripping, cinematic showdown, Kyle confronts him face-to-face. Holden, unhinged and vengeful, reveals the full extent of his plan. “I didn’t just want to hurt you,” he snarls. “I wanted you to feel what I felt — powerless.” He claims that Harrison is safe but will only be returned if Kyle publicly confesses his corporate crimes and resigns from Jabot.

Back at the Abbott mansion, Jack and Diane work frantically with Victor and the police to trace the call. Summer, refusing to sit idle, takes matters into her own hands — following a clue left in Holden’s encrypted emails. Her discovery leads authorities to a nearby hangar where a small jet is being refueled. As the police close in, Holden realizes he’s been cornered.

In a tense final sequence, Kyle rushes to Harrison’s side as officers swarm the hangar. Holden is arrested, but not before delivering one last threat: “You think this is over? You’ll regret ever crossing me.” Harrison clings to his father, whispering, “I knew you’d find me, Daddy,” as Kyle breaks down in tears of relief.

The episode ends back in Genoa City, with Kyle and Summer reunited with their son. But the peace is fragile. Kyle knows Holden’s threat still lingers — and worse, he fears the truth about his secret deal could still come to light. As the camera pans to the envelope Holden left behind, the words written on it send a chill through the audience: “You can’t bury the truth forever.”

Next week promises more fallout as Kyle struggles with guilt, Summer questions his honesty, and the Abbott family braces for the storm that Holden’s return has unleashed.

In Genoa City, even the purest love can’t escape the shadows of the past — and one secret can change everything.
