The Moustache’s Disappointment

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, May 1, note that Victor will push Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) for the truth.

The Moustache swooped in and saved the day for Nick, Sharon, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) in Las Vegas, and he’ll wonder what went wrong with their sting operation to nail Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).

Of course, Nick crashing out because of taking some “bad drugs” Matt gave him was the top reason for this, so Nick will be forced to tell his father about his pill-popping addiction.

With that said, there’s a chance that Victor already knows about this. Victor will be disappointed in his son’s actions, but he’ll also be supportive to ensure he gets the help he needs.

Sharon Newman Is Suspicious

Speaking of the Vegas debacle, Sharon will question Sienna Bacall’s (Tamara Braun) loyalty.

It was highly suspicious of how Sienna entered the hotel room after the warehouse explosion, stating that Matt was dead.

Still, even more sus was that she was in Sin City to begin with.

Fans know that before the warehouse explosion, Sienna caught Matt off guard in the car where he was parked.

She clearly wasn’t aligned with him at that point, but maybe something changed between the time the warehouse blew up and when Sienna arrived at the room.

In the car, Sienna sacrificed herself, begging for him to take her back and leave the Newmans alone, to save the family. Could Matt have tried to change her mind and loyalty?

There has to be a reason why Sharon doesn’t buy Sienna’s story.

Victoria Newman’s Plan B

Finally, The Young and the Restless spoilers for May 1 hint that Victoria will prepare her defense strategy against Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

Right now, Victor, along with Victoria, is trying to win back Newman via some AI-generated emails that “prove” Phyllis stole their company illegally.

Phyllis isn’t backing down to their demands, so they’ll have to take this evidence to the new district attorney, Christine Romalotti (Lauralee Bell).

Phyllis has reminded both Victor and Victoria that if The Moustache hadn’t used Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) AI program to begin with, none of this would’ve happened.

Victor is just as guilty as Phyllis is, so can Victoria think up a defense if things go sideways? She’s always got a Plan B!
