Young and the Restless spoilers for June 1-5, 2026 see Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) still amnesiac and apologizing for the crimes he does not remember. Plus, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) panics when his mom goes missing.

We’re going to get into the latest spoilers for the week of June 1st-5th and as we always do on early edition day, we’re going to start with what is happening the rest of this week and then we’ll get into what is coming in the week ahead. So, let’s get right to it.

Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, May 27th:

On Wednesday, May 27th, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) tells Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) that Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) doing great and they toast to his recovery. And Nate and Devon start griping when Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) calls and Lily pushes back because saved Malcolm’s life.

And then Lily tells Devon he needs to get over his anger and she leaves annoyed with both of the guys. Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) joins Devon and Nate leaves them to talk when he senses some sort of vibe between Abby and Devon. He’s griping to Abby that Lily is getting close to Cane again. And Abby says Cane did a good thing for Malcolm. Abby thinks this is about Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) more than it’s about Cane.

And she says Devon’s anger isn’t diminishing and her husband agrees. He tells Abby that he went to see Mariah and that she said all of his feelings are justified, but she’s hoping Devon won’t be consumed by anger and pain. And then he tells Abby he’s more angry at himself for failing to protect Dominic Winters (Ethan Ray Clark). And now he’s hurting them both with all this anger he’s holding in.

Y&R Spoilers: Victoria Worries about Nick

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) tells Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) that she suspects Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) is still using. And Nikki says recovery is a journey, but Victoria thinks he’s lying about rehab. Nikki blames herself for Nick’s addiction, but Victoria says it’s Matt’s fault.

And Nikki tells her that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) offered to be Nick’s sponsor despite all the things Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has done to him. Lily goes to the Cane train and he’s got roses and champagne and wants Lily to stay for a romantic dinner. And she tells Cane that she, Holden Novak (Nathan Owels), and Stephanie are getting along. Cane talks about his legal issues and says they likely hinge on whether Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) gives Newman back, but the evidence is bogus. And Lily teases, “Maybe, but you actually did the thing.” Cane jokes if Lily wants him in prison, and she laughs.

And Lily says Victor is not going to stop until he has everything he lost back. Cane mentions the fake kidnapping and he wants to know what Victor promised her. And Lily admits it’s Chancellor because she thinks it should be in Devon’s hands. They debate if Victor is playing her. And Cane says Victor can’t give Chancellor back till he gets Newman back. Cane says that he thinks that Lily will wind up with Chancellor in the end. And after dinner, she kisses Cane several times. It’s kind of steamy. And Lily leaves with a smile on her face.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nate interrupts Nikki and Victoria

Nate interrupts Nikki and Victoria and Nikki takes off and then Nate and Victoria catch up about Malcolm and Holden. And then Victoria starts asking him about opioid addiction. Nate talks about how hard it is and that addicts may avoid treatment out of shame and that family support is critical.

Phyllis, meanwhile, is mad that Nick brought Victor along to scoop up Matt. And Victor’s annoyed that Phyllis was going behind his back with Nick. And when Matt asks if Phyllis sold him out, she denies it and asks Matt to let her sort things out. She tells Nick and Victor that Matt has changed and is harmless. They disagree. Sharon, Noah Newman, and Sienna show up, and Noah lunges for Matt, but Sienna holds him back. Matt insists he wants to make amends.

Victor says Matt’s reign of terror is over. And Phyllis tries to argue about the deal they made, but Victor says, “You’re not in control here.” Matt doesn’t know Sienna, but he says he’s heard they were married and she cheated with Noah. And Sharon doubts his amnesia, but Matt says he doesn’t even know her at all.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Nick Doesn’t Believe Matt

Nick also calls BS on the amnesia and says Matt’s going to go down for his crimes, whether he remembers them or not. And Matt says he does know that Nick hit him and that Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) screwed his wife. And Matt’s not sure how he’s the villain in all this. Then Nick blows up and Phyllis again tries to defend Matt.

Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun tests his memory and Matt says he remembers her hitting him with a rock and trying to kill him. Sienna calls it self-defense. Sharon brings up the gas station explosion and Matt doesn’t remember that either. Phyllis tells Nick that he is not going to take the law into his hands and hurt Matt. And then Victor and Nick both get aggressive and Matt says he’s sorry.

He’s actually apologizing. Nick dials Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) and then Newman’s kind of panic because they worry Nick’s going to try that self-defense murder thing with Matt that he was cooking up where he said he’d kill him and Burrow would see it was self-defense and would cover.

Nick won’t listen, and he wants to do it his way and Phyllis wants to know what they’re talking about because she doesn’t know about this plan. Then all of a sudden, Nick collapses to the floor unresponsive and Matt tells them that Nick is having an overdose.

Thursday, May 28th on Y&R: Nikki is Haunted

Thursday, May 28th, Nikki’s dreams are haunting her. We’ll see if it’s before or after she finds out that Nick OD’d again. This week, Holden and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) have a very sweet moment together. They are getting much, much closer. Victor shocks everybody with a decision about Nick’s addiction. I’m very curious if Victor is going to agree to let Jack sponsor Nick and help him because Jack’s been through this exact same set of circumstances.

Stephanie and Holden get an update on Malcolm. I expect positive news. In Nikki’s room at the GCAC this week, she’s telling Victoria she has a really bad headache that it went away and it’s back and now it’s worse. And then later, Victoria goes looking for help from Jack. She runs into him at Crimson Lights and Victoria may ask Jack if he’ll go see Nick or if you know she may be wanting Jack to go check on Nikki if she’s that worried about her mom.

Young and Restless Spoilers Friday, May 29th: Phyllis Sets Patty Straight

Friday, May 29th, now that the Newmans have Matt, we’re going to see Phyllis chatting with Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) and Phyllis offers Patty a history lesson. I suspect Phyllis might tell Patty about the Newman’s awful history with Matt and the terrible crimes he’s done to Sharon, to Nick, to Noah, Sienna, and a lot of others.

And it looks like Detective Burrow did not get that call from Nick because this week the Newmans have Matt in the little gym room at the new ranch locked in. Nick’s back on his feet after his latest collapse and facing off with Matt there.

Kyle tells Jack that he’s worried about his mom and he says Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) hasn’t been to work in two days. Her bed hasn’t been slept in at the GCAC. Kyle says none of this is normal. Nikki and Victor team up to force Nick to deal with his addiction the right way by the end of the week on Young and the Restless.

Week of June 1st-5th on Y&R

Then the week of June 1st through the 5th, word of Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally Spectra’s (Courtney Hope) engagement and baby news starts to spread since Adam already told Chelsea. I don’t know why Billy’s blabbing the baby news. Because if you remember, Sally didn’t want it widely known. She wanted it to be in a very small circle until she was ready to tell people. Billy’s already violated her trust. Of course, she’ll let it slide.

Hopefully, we’re going to get a peek at Malcolm during his recovery. I know Shemar Moore has filmed more scenes, so we will see Malcolm at some point in the next few weeks. We should also see Cane and Lily continuing to bond and dancing around their romantic feelings that are rekindling.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki in a Health Crisis?

Nikki may be facing a health crisis because of all the stress in her life. Matt’s memories aren’t back. So, hurting him while he’s an amnesiac is like shooting fish in a barrel. So, we’ll see if the Newman’s hand him over, you know, call Christine to have the cops get him since there’s a warrant out on him.

Or maybe they want to keep Matt for now, hoping his memories will return and then they can take vengeance. We’ll see what the Newman’s do to force Nick to kick the fentanyl habit and look for more on where Diane is, what’s going on with her, and whether she’s in danger, because I’m very worried that Patty has a hold of her.
