Devious Deals

Let’s start off with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). The patriarch will not release Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander Gerry), and Mattie Ashby (Lexie Stevenson).

Victor is demanding that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) get him the company back. However, Cane no longer has control of it thanks to Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). 

Moral Dilemma

That leads to Cane trying to get help from the only person he can: Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Graziadei). Cane will desperately try to get help from Phyllis’ own son.

While Daniel isn’t pleased with his mother’s actions, will he really help Cane? Daniel might, especially if Lily and the children are reportedly in danger.

Family Chaos

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, February 19 reveal that there will be a family in crisis.

Based on Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) actions, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) has thrown a curveball. Victoria will plan on sending the kids back to boarding school without telling Billy.

However, when the school calls Billy, he is blindsided. Then, he made it clear that Victoria has gone too far. This doesn’t sound good at all!

Billy thinks it’s just Victoria punishing him. However, she just doesn’t want Johnny Abbott (Paxton Mishkind) or Katie Newman (Sienna Mercuri) to be around when everything hits the fan.

Tempting Proposition

Finally, we have Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens). The blonde will want to exchange intel, but will Holden agree?

Holden has a job to do for Cane in locating Lily and the twins. However, Claire wants details about Audra Charles’ (Zuleyka Silver) crime.

While Holden agreed to keep the truth hidden, he just might sell Audra out in order to save Cane’s family.

Since Holden already has feelings for her, I could see Claire using that to her advantage. When Claire learns the whole truth, she could face a moral dilemma of her own.

Is it really worth it to take Holden down along with Audra? Or could there be some kind of compromise, especially as Audra is finally getting a second chance at business? Stay tuned to find out!
