The Young and the Restless (YR) Spoilers: Devon’s Grief Overwhelms Him – Lily Devastated and In Trouble

Lily (Christel Khalil) did what her brother asked on ‘The Young and the Restless’. She told Paul (Doug Davidson) what happened. But that wasn’t enough for Devon (Bryton James) and, for the indefinite future, nothing is likely to be.

This sad situation continues to be fraught with the fallout. What else could be expected when two people are dead? Devon rightly pointed out the count of people who were killed when Lily ran that red light, Hilary (Mishael Morgan) and their unborn child.

Some opt to believe that a human being in the womb purely represents some part of an existing body. But every person who has ever come to be born was (or, for all who are alive, is), logically and emotionally, an infinitely important, unique, individual life that deserves full protection. To choose to think anything other opens the door to human selection, which goes reason, civilized history, and just law. That fully realistic rationale represents half the reason why Devon is incensed with the sibling he formerly loved and will, likely, care for again some day.

Lily did not kill the unborn boy, or girl that Hilary was carrying. Lily’s actions also did not later kill Hilary, who died as the result of the injuries suffered in the grotesque car accident that snuffed out two of Devon’s loved ones. Accidents, including tragic ones, happen, regularly, forever changing remaining lives.

Devon’s response has been vindictive, but it’s also understandable, within limits. Neil (Kristoff St. John), Lily, Cane (Daniel Goddard), and others are giving James’ character exceptional consideration, due to the circumstances.

Lily’s full remorse could lead to her imprisonment, if, as Michael (Christian LeBlanc) said, she could, if convicted, receive a prison sentence of up to twenty years.

Devon was noticeably stunned by that potential time frame, but then asked Lily if it would be a fair trade for his child and Hilary being dead forever? Khalil’s reaction shot was brilliant, as it showed Lily’s further revelation of Devon’s coldness.

Lily’s future is uncertain, as is Devon’s. Time, probably a great soapy deal of it, will be needed to begin, rather than complete, the initial process of forgiveness and then, healing.
