There’s no shortage of drama on The Young and the Restless this week as Amanda’s return continues to rattle nerves and raise suspicions. Plus, Victor does what Victor does. These are the big moments to watch on Y&R next week.
Moments to Watch
Billy (Jason Thompson) wastes no time grilling Amanda (Mishael Morgan) for intel about her connection to the elusive Dumas. Expect pointed questions, evasive answers, and plenty of subtext as Billy tries to figure out whether Amanda is just the messenger or holding back something bigger. But Amanda isn’t easily intimidated, and her calm demeanor may just throw Billy off more than he anticipated.
Meanwhile, Amanda’s presence sparks unexpected discomfort for Abby (Melissa Ordway). Old wounds reopen as Abby struggles with unresolved feelings about Amanda’s past with Devon (Bryton James) and the complicated family history they all share. Watching Amanda slip back into town doesn’t sit well with her, and it’s clear Abby will have something to say before the week is over.

Romance And Threats
Across town, romance is in the air… and it’s coming from a familiar source. Victor (Eric Braeden) surprises Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) with a lavish evening for her birthday. Just as she was beginning to feel shut out of his world again, he pulls her in close, showing her that despite the stress and secrets, she’s still his number one. But don’t be fooled—the mustache still has plenty of scheming to do.
Behind closed doors, Victor delivers a dire warning to Michael (Christian Le Blanc). Whether it’s about Dumas, Billy, Jack (Peter Bergman), or something else entirely, the threat is serious—and Michael knows better than to dismiss it. The tension between loyalty and self-preservation could have lasting consequences for both men.
While Michael navigates Victor’s pressure, Lauren (Tracey Bregman) grows increasingly worried about her marriage. With secrets mounting and Michael pulled deeper into the Newman orbit, Lauren can’t help but wonder if the man she loves is slipping away. Watch for a heartfelt moment as she weighs whether it’s time to push back or give him the space he says he needs.
One thing’s certain—next week in Genoa City, no secret stays buried for long.
