The Young and the Restless: Why did Sally REALLY cancel her big trip with Billy?

Last Friday's previews for The Young and the Restless this week show us Audra asking Sally whether she is okay. Sally asks her if she had brought what she asked for. What is she referring to, and why is she in Genoa City? Didn't she go to London with Billy to visit Jill? What is going on here?

Audra and Sally's mysterious talk on The Young and the Restless

Last week's sneak preview showed us a cryptic conversation between Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Sally (Courtney Hope). Audra senses that Sally isn't acting like herself. "Are you okay?" she asks. But all Sally says in response is, "Did you bring what I asked for?"

We can't imagine what that's about. But wait a second. Why is Sally in Genoa City? Did she change her mind about going to London with Billy (Jason Thompson) to visit Jill (Jess Walton)? Or, did she go and then was caught in the middle of an argument between mother and son? Perhaps she felt frustrated, feeling like she had to play referee, so she flew home to GC?

Sally has struggled with more than her share of problems with Billy, so that scenario makes sense. Or maybe they got into a huge argument, so she hopped on the first plane home?

Is Billy obsessing over Chancellor Industries again?

Billy has spent years obsessing over Chancellor and wanting to reclaim it from Victor (Eric Braeden). Did something happen during his time with Jill in London that made him realize there's still a part of him that wants the company back? We suspect that there is always going to be a part of him, somewhere in the back of his mind, that's going to nag him to get Chancellor back. It seemed odd that he let it go that quickly after Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) returned it to Victor.

If Billy is reverting to his former obsessive ways, then perhaps Sally has reached the end of her rope regarding their relationship? After all, what will his next career move be, now that he doesn't have either Chancellor or Abbott Communications anymore? It's highly unlikely that he will return to Jabot Cosmetics, considering that he left the company over two years ago.

Will Sally eventually reunite with Adam?

On the New Year's Eve episode of The Young and the Restless, Sally ran into Adam (Mark Grossman) at Society, where they chatted over dinner and reminisced about old times together. Between Adam and Riza's (Tina Casciani) reconnection in Las Vegas and Sally's rocky romance with Billy, it feels like the Y&R writers are giving us signs that Adam and Sally may reunite down the road.

Chelsea isn't going to be happy that Adam has been kissing Riza in the process of tracking down Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). She is already frustrated that Adam hasn't been answering her phone calls. She's also going to be unhappy that he's been enjoying slipping back into his old Spider persona, which is the dark side of his personality that he left behind years ago. The Las Vegas trip may end up doing irreparable damage to Adam and Chelsea's relationship.

Similarly, Sally may be emotionally exhausted by Billy's dark impulses. Whatever happened in London that has her looking worried, it must have something to do with Billy disappointing her again. But what is she referring to when she asks Audra, "Did you bring what I asked for?" Could it possibly have something to do with Spectra-Charles Media? Or is it really about Billy, as we suspect it is? Hopefully, we will get our answer this week, Y&R fans!
