The Newmans Unite

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, May 21, suggest that Victor and Nikki will put up a united front, all in an effort to help Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

During the Wednesday, May 20 show, Nick had a talk with a very concerned Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).

She was convinced that Nick could be using again and questioned his rehab efforts.

Of course, Victoria is right to assume Nick is taking painkillers again, based on his behavior, but he lied and told her he went to his first meeting and that everything was fine.

It sounds like Victoria will report back to her parents, and there’s a good chance the Newman family will stage an intervention.

Can Victor and Nikki put their differences aside long enough to help their son?

Lily Winters In NYC

Elsewhere, Lily will arrive in New York, ready to support bio dad, Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore), with this bone marrow transplant.

Will the surgery be a success? Malcolm’s life depends on it! Lily will probably also spend some bonding time with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), as they lean on each other, so fans should expect to see some feel-good moments between the two siblings. 

Jack Abbott’s Change Of Heart

Lastly, The Young and the Restless spoilers for May 21 imply Jack has a change of heart where Patty is concerned.

Will he start to trust Patty and truly see a new side to her? Could he also open up to his once-crazy ex?

This is interesting, as when Diane Abbott (Susan Walters) first came to town, claiming to have changed from her old ways, Jack was cynical, then trusting, and then fell in love with her!

Will lightning strike twice? Are Patty and Jack on the verge of a bona fide reunion?
