The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, October 5, watch as Phyllis seals the deal on her burgeoning empire, even as Lily worries her life may be at risk again.
Key Takeaways
- Phyllis is ready to be the queen of Genoa City.
- Lily waits for a final diagnosis.
- Victor continues to make decisions for Nick.
Phyllis Is Ready to Build the Empire Cane Couldn’t
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) filled Cane (Billy Flynn) in on her plans to take over every business in Genoa City, the same way he — er, Aristotle Dumas — originally planned to do. She figures she’ll succeed where he failed because, well, she’s just that much smarter.
Sure, Cane actually built a multi-billion dollar empire, whereas Phyllis has only managed to steal — and lose — a whole host of them. But, this time, she’s got it all figured out. Now bow down, peasants. She’ll explain why later.
Lily’s Cancer Scare Reveals Just How Far She Is From Cane
Lily (Christel Khalil) has already fought — and won — over cancer once. It left her unable to have kids, which is why Mattie and Charlie were born via surrogate. But that’s not Lily’s biggest concern right now. She’s worried that, if her cancer is back, she could lose her life.
She told Nate (Sean Dominic) the truth, but lied to Cane. This would suggest they’re not as close as Cane thinks they are. He thinks they’re on their way to getting back together. But if Lily can’t even confess her worries to him, then they are much further apart than Cane knows.
Victor Decides Nick’s Problems Still Need a Victor Newman Solution
Nick (Joshua Morrow) assured his dad that he’d done nothing wrong, and the whole Joe the drug dealer situation is under control. Victor doesn’t believe him.
How can anything be under control if it’s not under Victor’s control? So while Nick does what he needs to do, Victor does what he wants to do. Nick will thank him for it. Eventually.
