This week’s messiest move goes to Kyle on The Young and the Restless. He got the wild idea that it would be romantic to follow Claire to Los Angeles.

Key Takeaways

• Claire ended her relationship with Kyle.
• She realized that she needed to find herself before committing to a serious relationship.
• Claire agreed to join Holden on his trip to Los Angeles.
• In a creepy style, Kyle followed Claire to LA to keep an eye on her.

Kyle Oversteps His Boundaries Once Again

Kyle (Michael Mealor) wants to have the upper hand in his relationship with Claire (Hayley Erin). Well, how did that work out for him? First, he thought it would be romantic to pop the question even though she wanted a break.

Claire needed time to figure out what to do next. But Kyle assumed that speeding up their relationship would be the best resolution. That led to their eventual breakup.

Now, Claire wants to figure herself out. For most of her life, she was told who to be and what to do by her Great Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk). It’s imperative for Claire to figure out who she really is, without anyone dictating that for her, even Kyle.

Once again, Kyle’s not respecting that. He’s overstepping her boundaries on Y&R by borderline stalking her. Kyle thinks it’s romantic to follow her to LA, even though he’s the last person she wants to see right now.

There’s nothing romantic about violating one’s boundaries and space. But in Kyle’s mind, he thinks it’s okay because he’s rich and powerful. He should be allowed to do whatever he wants, regardless of consequences.

Kyle used Victoria (Amelia Heinle) to find out where Claire was staying, so he could get a room in that same hotel. He surprised her with a bouquet, but she wasn’t impressed. She wanted to know why he was keeping tabs on her.

What’s even messier is that Kyle told Claire that she looked like she had a late night. He’s concerned about how she’s spending her free time. But what Kyle forgot is that Claire is a single woman who’s allowed to do whatever she wants.

Then, he asked if Holden (Nathan Owens—who teased Holden’s dark past and Sienna drama) was staying in the same hotel. Claire told him to return home with his flowers. After a tense conversation, Kyle sticks with his plans on staying in Los Angeles.

He told Claire that he was working remotely from his hotel room and that he would be available if she needed him. But it’s far from romantic or cute. It’s showing that Kyle is becoming possessive of Claire. Hopefully, he realizes his mistake and goes back to Genoa City.
