Young and Restless Next Week: Billy’s Shady Scheme Enrages Cane Amid Major Comeback

Young and the Restless hot new spoilers for next week include Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) acting out and burning bridges. And when he does, Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is furious. Plus, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) takes a big risk to change his future. We’ve also got a huge return and lots of family drama and infighting.

We’ve got your latest Y&R spoilers for the week of August 17th through the 21st. Plus, next week we’re going to have more scenes of Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland), who is back on the scene, as well as more drama with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) in rehab. Let’s start with Abbott family drama.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Traci Gets a Happy Surprise

So, next week’s Y&R spoilers have scenes with Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell). She’s hanging out at the Shadow Room, of course, where her hubby Danny Romlalotti (Michael Damian) is now the manager and Traci is there. And we’re going to talk in just a second about why she’s back on the scene. But Christine says she knows the Abbott family has had a lot going on and just a lot of drama in their household lately. And Traci says that’s another reason why she really needs a night out.

And then the big return for next week happens in this scene. Trisha Cast is back as Nina Webster and she sneaks up behind Traci and says about needing a night out, you and me both. And Nina and Traci share a big hug. So, the reason they need the Abbott sister on the scene, is because of what Billy is up to. In the final episode of this week, he is with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) at the cafe and Billy tells them he found the big secret that he suspected Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) was keeping and says it was buried deep.

And of course, Billy has been on this obsessive scavenger hunt at Chancellor, going through the archives and he found it. And then he drops a bomb on Jack and Kyle. Billy says the Abbotts actually own Chancellor and Billy says he can prove it. He found paperwork about a loan. Basically, John Abbott (Jerry Douglas) loaned Chancellor money to keep it out of bankruptcy. And if the loan wasn’t repaid within 20 years, then Jack’s dad John or his heirs would get ownership of Chancellor. And Billy had the paperwork he found authenticated, and he said that loan was never repaid to John.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Chancellor Ownership Discovery and Family Drama

So, Jack says he believes that that is something that their father John would have done, set up something like that. But Jack’s wondering if Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) knew about it. Jack assumes she didn’t because she would have paid John back. But Billy is so excited to drop this bombshell on Cane, of course, because you know, Billy wants to yank Chancellor away from his sort of brother and away from Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). This is all back to Billy’s mommy issues where Cain and Jill are concerned.

So, Jack thinks Billy needs to slow down and he says, “If Victor still had Chancellor, of course, go for it. Take it from him.” But since Lily owns it, Jack isn’t so sure. So, Billy pushes back and he’s griping about Jack trying to kill the dream. Billy also said he’s not going to accept some kind of offer from Cane to back off. Billy wants Chancellor. He wants to run it. And he tells Jack that the company is rightfully theirs. And Kyle points out this could drag out years in court.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Pops Off

Billy insists the contract that was made with Chancellor and John must be honored. And then Jack accuses Billy of deluding himself. Jack doesn’t think this is what Billy needs. And of course, he gets mad. Doesn’t like Jack telling him what he needs. And Jack tells Billy this could be an expensive fight. Billy doesn’t care. And then Kyle asks how Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) feels about this Chancellor thing.

Well, as it turns out, Billy hasn’t told Sally yet. And Kyle reminds Billy he’s supposed to be putting Sally and the baby she’s having first. Billy thinks he can do both. And he’s certain that Sally is going to support him in this. But Jack doubts it because Sally almost left Billy once before and it was about Chancellor and his fixation. That’s the point on Friday where Billy’s tantrum is going to reach fever pitch and he stomps away from them. But Kyle checks out the documents that Billy found and he actually agrees they look legit. Kyle says, “Maybe Billy’s right. Maybe we do actually own it.”

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Kyle on Board

So, Jack and Kyle talk about how to handle this, but they don’t think it’s up to just them. Jack and Kyle think they need to bring Traci and Ashley into this conversation because Chancellor would belong to all of John’s kids, not just Billy. But of course, he’s going to rush over and tell Cane and Lily. So, at the end of this week on Young and the Restless, Lily is talking to Cane over breakfast, and she asks how Billy’s doing at Chancellor. Cane says he doesn’t want to talk about Billy. And that makes Lily way more curious and nervous.

And Cane tells her that Billy has been stirring things up because he thinks there is a secret in the Chancellor records. Cane says it’s something that Billy thinks Jill didn’t want Billy to know about. And then Cane says Billy thinks that it’s something that will give him control of Chancellor. And Lily’s annoyed and says over my dead body. But Cane is confident. He says Billy won’t find anything and this will all blow over. But Lily wants Cane to just fire Billy now. Lily wants him gone before Billy can cause any trouble. And Cane asks for more time. He’s really advocating for his brother. And Lily caves and finally says, “Fine, it’s up to you.”

So, Cane thinks that Billy will be different because of the baby on the way. But then he walks up on Cane and Lily and she asks Billy about him doing all this digging in the archives. And Lily tells Billy he just needs to stop that and focus on Chancellor’s future. And Billy says, “No more digging because he found what he was looking for and now he has the keys to the kingdom.” and he tells Lily he admires and respects her, but Chancellor belongs to him and he can prove it. I’m sure this is going to blow up in a big bad way.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Audra in the Mix

Next week on Young and the Restless, presumably with Sally still out of the loop, we’ve got Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) approaching Billy at the bar and asks what amazing thing he’s celebrating and he tells Audra, “Join me and I’ll tell you about it.” Now, it seems like a bad idea for Billy to tell Audra before he tells Sally. But again, we’re back to Billy being Billy. And I’m curious if Audra will immediately phone Sally. You know, Audra may give Sally a warning that Billy is fixated on Chancellor and now thinks he owns it.

Plus, I’m sure Cane and Lily are going to dig in and find out if Billy’s assertion is true. I expect Cane to call Jill and get verification. That’ll probably happen offscreen. But Billy is skipping over a very important part. that Chancellor belongs to the Abbotts, not to him. Also, next week, it looks like Nate is ready to take a big step towards returning to his career in medicine.

He told Lily and Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) recently about a new procedure that might help. So, in next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers, Nate is talking about it to Stephanie, and Nate asks what happens if the surgery on his hand works. And Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) says Nate will be back in the operating room wowing people with his talents once again.
