The Young and the Restless Spoilers Wednesday, August 15: Michael Confronts Phyllis – Summer Exposes Phyllis – Victor Taunts Nick

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 reveal Michael (Christian LeBlanc) confronts Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) at the coffee house, warning her this isn’t going to be a friendly conversation.

Nick and Sharon Plan Wedding

Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) arrive on the rooftop, waiting to meet with their wedding coordinator, Randy. Summer (Hunter King) spots the intimate moment between the two, admitting to Kyle (Michael Mealor) that if she didn’t dislike the woman so much, she’d actually feel sorry for her after learning Nick cheated on her with her own mother, Phyllis.

Phyllis is surprised it has come to this, but Michael feels if she didn’t see this coming than Lauren is right to be concerned about her loyalty. Billy took on a secret project and she seems more than willing to have faith that this is a brilliant idea. Michael confronts her, asking if she is only backing him because she recently reconciled with Billy and is worried about upsetting him. She feels Billy’s boutiques are the new trend where Fenmore’s is “tried and true”, making them two completely different markets.

Michael Upset Phyllis Is Siding With Billy

Michael reveals that Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) told him Phyllis is siding with Billy (Jason Thompson), demanding how she could betray Lauren, as her friend and boss? She defends Billy’s actions, but Michael doesn’t care. He tells her if she was being objective she would see what is truly going on with Billy. Phyllis bites back, advising him to not fight his wife’s business battles. Michael informs her that he is speaking as Lauren’s attorney and she has a solid case that Billy is being negligent towards Fenmore’s, one of Jabot’s key partners, and breaching their contract.

Michael says the fact remains that Billy is out of control. Phyllis promises to talk to Billy and get the reassurance that Lauren’s business won’t be affected. Michael takes her at her word that she will start acting in the best interest of her REAL employer. Phyllis talks about him defending Lily (Christel Khalil). Despite his personal feelings, he doesn’t believe Lily should go to prison and wishes Devon could see past his grief. Phyllis stands firm, saying Devon is right and understands if he never lets this go. Michael questions her on whether Hilary (Mishael Morgan) would have wanted her death to leave this kind of legacy.

Kyle Tells Summer She Is Delusional

Kyle insists Summer is delusional, reminding her that Nick and Sharon are planning a wedding while Phyllis and Billy worked things out. She feels that doesn’t mean they should. Meanwhile, Nick and Sharon are interrupted by Victor (Eric Braeden), who is amazed Nick has time to plan such an elaborate wedding when trying to launch a new business.

Summer calls her mother a hypocrite, feeling Phyllis’ cheating is a thousand times worse than Billy hiding his gambling. Kyle wants to know what she is going to do with the explosive information.

Victor and Nick Spar

Victor tells Nick he is being dishonest with himself if he thinks he can pick and choose the time to devote to his business. Nick promises, after watching Victor all these years, he is not going to let business run his life. Victor is disappointed Nick has turned his back on everything he has worked for to leave the legacy to his children and grandchildren. Nick states part of the reason he started Dark Horse is to erase the damage Victor has done to the Newman name and wants to give his children a company they can be proud of. Victor reminds him, he started the business by lying and stealing and pretending to be JT (Thad Luckinbill).

Nick is distracted, but quickly apologizes for Victor getting into his head. Sharon brings the food samplers into the private area on the patio, which Nick thinks is a great idea.

Phyllis says the revenge he is feeling will only bring more heartache and unhappiness. She knows Lily is punishing herself more than any legal system could do.

Michael comes to see Lily, not sugarcoating anything. He doesn’t think it is fair for her to spend years behind bars, but it really isn’t up to him.

Michael Tells Lily She Should Be Worried

Lily is trying hard to be realistic as Michael says she should be worried. He says her pleading “guilty” has helped with Christine (Lauralee Bell) looking favorably on this.
