The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, May 6, tease viewers with the hope that Michael has finally broken free from Victor’s spell and is going to defend Phyllis against the Newmans’ trumped-up charges.
Key Takeaways
- Phyllis and Michael play defense.
- Claire stands by Holden.
- Lily’s plans for Malcolm are in danger.
Michael Wavers Between Victor and Phyllis
Lauren (Tracey Bregman) has run out of strength — and words — to convince Michael (Christian Le Blanc) that his devotion to Victor (Eric Braeden) is pathological. And pathetic. And making Lauren really, really mad.
And yet, Michael keeps running back to Victor for more punishment and abuse. He is hesitant to defend Phyllis (Michelle Stafford, who unleashed her inner Madonna) against what he knows is bogus evidence, though accurate charges. But he hasn’t said a definitive “no” to her yet, either. So the pair team up to polish up Phyllis’ name and reputation. Just in case.
Claire Backs Holden as She Steps Into Newman Power
Claire (Hayley Erin) isn’t sure what she wants to do with her life moving forward. Her first few decades were dominated by Aunt Jordan’s (Colleen Zenk) revenge plans. Then, the last few years have been a case of being handed job after job after job, everything from being Harrison’s (Redding Munsell) nanny to taking over publishing for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott).
Now, Grandma has suggested that Claire run all of Chancellor. She’s perfectly qualified. She’s a Newman. What other qualifications does she need? Claire is so confident now that she can reach out and help lift up others. Next on her list is Holden (Nathan Owens). Because she said so, that’s why.
Lily’s Plan to Save Malcolm Unravels
Lily (Christel Khalil) was thrilled when it turned out Cane (Billy Flynn) was a match and could donate bone marrow to Malcolm (Shemar Moore). She assumed her problem was solved. Now it turns out that her problems have not been solved. So what can she do now?
