Devon Doubts Damian, Abby Stands By Lily
At Society, Devon stayed cautious about Damian. He warned Lily was too trusting for her own good. Abby defended Lily and said her sister wasn’t blind to danger. She felt Lily could handle herself. Later, Abby met Victor. Their talk turned to Aristotle Dumas. Victor feared he might target Winters and Chancellor. Abby promised to share anything new she discovered.
At the jazz lounge, Audra took a call from Victor while Nate stood nearby, unaware. Victor discussed his new business plans and arranged a meeting. But there was a condition. Audra had to destroy Kyle and Claire’s romance.
Audra agreed right away. After the call, she reassured Nate everything was fine. She played it cool and claimed everything was under control.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Lily and Amy Share Worries About Damian
At Crimson Lights, Lily bumped into Amy and mentioned her dinner with Damian. Amy guessed Lily interrogated him. Lily apologized for the earlier drama at Nate’s. She admitted her trust issues with Damian still lingered. Amy had her doubts too. She didn’t trust Aristotle’s influence.
Still, she didn’t want to scare Damian away. Lily thought about giving him a wakeup call—but was also willing to stay open-minded. When Nate arrived with Audra, Lily confirmed she would try giving Damian the benefit of the doubt.
Diane Explodes on Michael
At GCAC, Diane found Michael at the bar. She demanded to know if he was working with Victor. Michael said he managed many things—but denied being Victor’s attack dog. Diane wasn’t buying it. She warned that Victor could sabotage Kyle and Claire. Michael defended his job, claiming he kept Victor in check. Diane argued he chose his position. She hoped he’d land on the right side of the feud.
Upstairs, Kyle confessed to Jack. He had told Claire about Victor’s spy games. Jack looked rattled. Kyle defended his choice. He wanted to be honest with Claire. Jack noted that Victor still looked better to Claire than Jordan. He hoped that would change. Later, Diane updated Jack about her talk with Michael. She believed Michael might be swayed. Jack wasn’t convinced. He scoffed at Michael’s “guardrail” excuse and doubted his loyalty.
Michael met with Victor afterward. He brought up Diane’s suspicions and warned that the Abbotts were alert. He suggested pulling their spies. Victor disagreed. He believed the Abbotts were just guessing. He wasn’t ready to give up his inside edge. Victor remained defiant. He wouldn’t cave or stop. His revenge plan was still in motion.
