Young and Restless 2-Week Spoilers Aug 17-28: Billy’s Baiting Words & Victor Strikes Hard!

Young and the Restless spoilers for the two weeks starting August 17th with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) provoking half of Genoa City with his obsessive antics. And that triggers Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to slap back and reinvigorate the Abbott vs Newman vendetta.

Also, during the two weeks of August 17th through the 28th, we’re going to see Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) getting his flirt on, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) completely losing it and firing Billy. Plus, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) are also fighting over Billy while Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is toasting him. Let’s get right into it.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Stephanie & Nate Spark

Monday, August 17th on Young and the Restless, Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) talks to Nate about the surgery. She’s lining up for him. He’s hoping to be able to operate again. He cooks for Stephanie and is flirting with her. And Nate says he’s okay if the surgery doesn’t work out.

But what he’s really hoping is this will heal not only his hand, but his relationship with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James). Stephanie likes his cooking. And then Nate asks her out to a sporting event and also dinner. And Stephanie wants to go, but she would prefer that Nate cooks for her instead. There’s sparks flying all over the place for Nate and Stephanie. And I’m curious to see what her son Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) thinks.

Y&R Spoilers: Cane & Lily Flip on Billy

Billy cannot wait to tell Lily his big news. Before Billy gets it out though, Lily fires him and says, “Give back the Chancellor documents you took.” But Billy says, “You can’t fire me. I own Chancellor.” So, Cane is lashing out at Billy’s stunt, calling him a spoiled brat. But he says their lawyers are confirming everything.

And Billy says by end of day, he will have the documents sent over to Lily and Cane, and they’ll see. His dad, John Abbott (Jerry Douglas), loaned Philip Chancellor money back in the day. And if it wasn’t repaid in 20 years, John would get Chancellor and it was never repaid by Phillip and John just didn’t happen to come enforce it and take the company. Billy assumes that Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) never knew about the loan. But as far as he’s concerned, that changes absolutely nothing.

So, Cane is fuming that Billy is spitting on the opportunity that Cane gave him. However, Billy blames his mom, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), for hiding this secret from him. And Billy thinks that it’s why Jill sold Chancellor to Victor before it could come out.

Cane storms off and asks Holden if he found out anything about Billy’s investigation, but Holden has nothing for him. Billy walks over and joins and tells Holden he no longer has a job. Cane starts raging at Billy, who takes off as Cane gets on a call to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) to tell him he’s coming by. Lily enlists Holden in the war against Billy.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: The Abbotts Discuss Billy

While over at Jabot, Jack’s telling Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) and Traci Abbott (about the Chancellor loan documents. He says Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) is vetting it right now with the lawyers. Traci doesn’t like it, but Jack says Billy’s determined. Ashley agrees Jill probably kept it secret to protect her reputation. And Ashley actually thinks this could be good for Billy.

But Jack doesn’t like it because Billy’s hurting people and he really needs to be focused on Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and the new baby. So, Ashley suggests the three of them just stay out of it and let Billy do Billy. Traci winds up agreeing and tells Jack it’s bad for his recovery to get tangled up in Billy’s stress mess. So, Jack’s just worried that their younger brother’s going to tarnish John’s legacy. But in the end, the three older ones agree to step back, let little brother Billy do what he wants.

Young and the Restless: Cane Turns to Jack

Then Jack gets the call from Cane, who shows up right after. Jack warns Traci and Ashley that Billy has started the war. Cane shows up and asks them to shut Billy down. Then Tuesday, August 18th, on the Young and the Restless, Cane makes a new alliance in his war against Billy. I suspect it’s going to be Victor, which of course will probably pull in Adam to use Newman Media as a tool to trash Billy in the public eye. Adam and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) don’t like Cane, but let’s be real, they hate Billy even more.

Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) reveals a new endeavor to somebody. I suspect this is him playing the new love song that he wrote for Christine Williams Romalotti (Lauralee Bell). Plus, Victoria’s bond with Kyle deepens. We had an almost kiss last week, and we may get a full on lip lock between Victoria and her daughter’s ex-lover, Kyle, this week.

Y&R Spoilers: Nikki & Victor Worry about Nick

Then, Wednesday, August 19th, on Young and the Restless, Victor and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) discuss how they can help Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) stick to his recovery. He is still in rehab, but he’s hanging out with Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow), and I doubt Nikki will like to hear that. You’re supposed to avoid romantic and sexual relationships while in recovery, and especially during rehab.

Kyle is on damage control. He’s trying to protect the Jabau and John Abbott’s legacy and the family. Jack doesn’t really care if Cane and Lily lose the company necessarily, but what he’s worried about is Billy spiraling and losing Sally. Meanwhile, Matt wants to know if Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) can forgive him. They’re talking at the coffee shop this week.

Then, Young and the Restless on Thursday, August 20th, has Audra stumbling into Billy, who’s in a good mood at Society, and Audra asked Billy what he’s celebrating. And Billy tells Audrey, “Join me.” And then they toast with Champagne after he tells her the big news. I do wonder if Audra is going to be worried about Sally’s reaction since it doesn’t sound like Billy has told Sally at this point.

Adam & Chelsea Bicker on Young and Restless

Adam and Chelsea are disagreeing up at the office. I’m sure it has got to do with Billy and Chancellor because Chelsea always defends Billy and Adam hates the guy. Sally, meanwhile, is worried about Billy’s big Chancellor scheme. So, Sally is back home this week. She’s going to hear about Billy snatching Chancellor from Willie and Cane. And we know Sally’s not going to like this because once again, Billy is painting a huge target on her back. She knows Victor will come after Billy and by association is going to come after her and Audra and their company.

Nina reunites with Tracy and Christine. Nina’s back to Genoa City and sneaks up on her girlfriends at the Shadow Room. Christine’s telling Tracy she knows the Abbotts really are going through it. She may tell Christine about Billy’s thing. And Christine, of course, knows about Jack and Dian’s ordeal. Tracy lays it all out and tells Christine this is why she needs a night out. And that’s when Nina sneaks up and says, “You and me both.” And the three hug each other excitedly.

Friday, August 21st on Young and the Restless. Victor puts a plan in motion to discredit Billy. Once Victor hears that Billy’s taking over Chancellor, you know Victor’s going to lose it. And I expect he’s got Newman Media running a smear campaign, whether Chelsea likes it or not. The rehab center gives Sharon an update on Nick’s recovery. I’m hoping he doesn’t have any sort of setback. And I am curious if Sharon’s going to hear that he’s hanging out with Marie.

Jack Helps Lily on Y&R

Lily asked Jack for his help and I think Lily’s hoping Jack can talk Billy down and stop this plot to take Chancellor, but Jack already said he’ll stay out of it. Then the week of August 24th through the 28th, we’ve got Billy furious and reeling after Victor’s latest attack on him.

And I’m sure Billy’s going to try and up the stakes, but I expect Sally to try and stop Billy before it’s too late. I doubt she’ll be able to. Adam and Chelsea’s relationship is strained because of this Billy mess and Nate and Stephanie keep growing closer. We’ll find out soon if Nate’s surgery is successful. Claire and Holden keep bonding. We may get I love you soon. I’m also interested to see how Claire’s going to react to the whole Kyle and Victoria twist.

We’ll see if Jack agrees to help Lily or if he decides he needs to sit this one out because he doesn’t want got to go back got to war with Victor. We’ll see more of Nick’s recovery and see him in rehab and what’s going on with him and Marie. Billy’s obsession with Chancellor further strains his relationship with Sally. And I’m sure Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is going to have a hot take on what Billy is doing. But I’m betting that Phyllis is a fan of it. She loves chaos and hates Victor and has a lot of resentment towards Cane.

We’ll see if Sharon can forgive Matt and see more of him getting closer to Phyllis. Lily and Cane teaming up against Billy is probably going to make their relationship stronger and should grow her brother bond with Holden, who is ready to help Lily deal with the threat of Billy. I am curious to see what Devon and Nate have to say when they weigh in on this Billy mess as well.
