Young and Restless Spoilers August 13: Jack and Nikki Make Major Decisions

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Tuesday, August 13, put Jack and Nikki in the position of defending their turf. Nobody is particularly pleased to hear that.

Family Name

Lily (Christel Khalil) gave in and allowed Billy (Jason Thompson) to add Abbott to the Chancellor company logo. For Jill’s (Jess Walton) sake, Billy claimed. Yeah…Jack (Peter Bergman) isn’t buying it. For one thing, Jack knows that John Abbott (Jerry Douglas) was just one of Jill’s many husbands.

Yes, she was an Abbott. But that was several husbands ago. Jill has no claim to that name anymore. Yes, Abbott is Billy’s last name. But it’s also part of Jabot. The international business community knows that Abbott means the Jabot family, and Billy sticking it on Chancellor suggests an endorsement the Abbot family did not grant. Billy can’t just throw the family name around like that.

Take This Job and Shove It

Victor (Eric Braeden — who recently surprised fans) informed Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) that she would no longer be running Newman Media. Because he said so, that’s why.

When Nikki protested, Victor said, “I’ll buy you another company to run. Here, have Chancellor, my baby. Now, who’s the best husband in the world? Three guesses — and the first two don’t count!” Victor thought that was the end of it. Nikki has decided that it’s not. Will Victor give in? Has he ever?

Listen Up

Lily and Billy are trying to figure out the details of running Abbott Chancellor together. So Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) decides to get involved. We’re not sure why she thinks she’s entitled to offer an opinion. Lily is a little confused, too.

Alas, she was well-raised and so is polite to Phyllis. Which just encourages her further. Does Phyllis really think her input is what Lily has been waiting for?
