Young and the Restless spoilers for the week ahead include Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) slamming Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) may be missing under mysterious circumstances. Plus, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) goes further off the rails.
We’ve also got Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) cranking up his plan to destroy Victor Newman‘s (Eric Braeden) personal life. We have got the latest Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of May 18th through the 22nd. Let’s dive into what’s ahead starting with Phyllis.
Phyllis Can’t Find Matt Clark on Young and the Restless
So, at the end of this week, she is up in Matt Clark‘s (Roger Howarth) room at the GCAC that she got for him along with clothes and food and a burner phone so that he can reach her. And Phyllis tells Matt she’s doing all of this. Because she’s a good person, right? So, he jokes about knocking on the Newmans’ door and just finding things out.
Phyllis says that’s a bad idea and that he should avoid the Newmans and just stay in the room, and she insists that she’s helping him. But he just needs to be patient. So, then she runs into Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) downstairs and they tell her, “Look, just give Victor both Matt and Newman Enterprises and this will all be over.”
But Phyllis says Matt’s scared and Lauren wonders if he’s getting to Phyllis. But she says, “No, no, Matt’s just a means to an end.” Phyllis is stubborn, though, and she’s not going to give back Newman. And she heads back upstairs and then panics. Because guess what? Matt Clark just took off out of the room after she told him not to.
Nick Makes Demands on Y&R
And then Phyllis runs into Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) when she’s back downstairs and he’s demanding to see Matt and he says if Phyllis hands him over, then Nick will personally convince Christine to drop the criminal charges against her. Now, I wonder if Matt really is going over to Victor’s house like he told Phyllis that he would do. We’ll see.
But I don’t know how Nick can convince anyone of anything at this point. Because he’s high as a kite. He just bought a new baggie of drugs and started popping them. The only way I think Nick could get this done is if he went and told Christine that yes, the evidence against Phyllis was faked. And honestly, his brain is so addled on fentanyl that Nick might defy Victor and tell Christine the truth, not thinking through the consequences on Victor and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) for faking evidence and handing it to the DA.
Young and the Restless: Nick is Unhinged
Nick is out of control and he wants to murder Matt. And he’s upset that everybody but Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) thinks that his premeditated self-defense murder concept is a bad idea. But if Phyllis can’t find Matt, she’s going to be in deep trouble because he’s the only leverage that she’s got against Victor.
So, next week, Phyllis tells Michael Baldwin that he is fired and he kind of mocks Phyllis about this, asking what again. Because she’s fired him before. And she tells Michael that his services are no longer required. And that leaves him wondering what exactly Phyllis is planning. So I do suspect she’ll get her hands on Matt, get him back in the room, lock him down. But we’ll have to wait and see next week.
Jack Abbott’s Devious Revenge Plan
All right, now let’s talk about what is coming for Jack and his devious revenge plan. This week, he was working on Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) and approached her about helping him get revenge on Victor. And this is not even about business. This is purely personal payback after what he did to him and Diane.
So, Jack wants Patty to help him make sure that Victor loses the love of his life forever, which of course is Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). And we saw Jack saying if Patty did this for him, it would go a long way to prove to him she’s changed. And she did confirm to Jack that Victor paid her for one night to be on the yacht with Jack.
Young and the Restless: Patty in Jacks Corner
And while Patty insisted she didn’t drug the booze, she admitted that Victor might have done it because she felt funny. Kind of warm and tingly. But she thought it was just her warm feelings for Jack. And while Patty admitted exactly what Jack suspected, that was just a chat at the bar. So, I’m guessing he needs Patty to either tell the DA what went down if he wants to press criminal charges or maybe it’ll be enough for Jack if Patty tells Nikki exactly what Victor paid her to do.
Because we know he’s been lying and denying and basically saying Jack was up to more debauchery and was lying about being set up and that he just decided to cheat on Diane. So, if Nikki heard it from Patty, that would probably be enough for her to call out Victor and decide she’s done with him for good. I say for good. I don’t think she can stay away from him forever. But we’ll see.
But it definitely looks like Patty is so desperate that she will do whatever she can to keep Jack in her life. And really, Patty is not a fan of Victor’s. She shot him back in the day. Fair enough. She also shot Jack. But she shot Victor and that was why he needed a heart transplant. So, Patty has zero loyalty to Victor. And she already got her bag of cash on Young and the Restless.
Young and the Restless: Kyle Questions Jack
Young and the Restless spoilers for next week also have Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) asking Jack if he still plans to use Patty to go after Victor because if you recall, Kyle wanted Jack to leave Victor to him and Jack agreed at the time that it would blindside Victor if Kyle was the one who came for him.
But it looks like Jack has taken matters into his own hands. Because now he’s back to wanting to use Patty against Victor. But then again, they can let Jack come at Victor personally while Kyle looks for a way to go after Victor professionally. Hit him with the old double whammy.
Devon’s Anger Issues and Sketchy Moves on Y&R
All right, let’s talk about Devon’s anger issues and sketchy moves that he makes next week on Y&R. If you remember, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) told Devon that he was getting amped up about Cane. Because he’s so angry at Mariah. And Lily told Devon he needs to go see Mariah and work through this. And you guys know Devon and Mariah were great friends for a long, long time. They worked together. You know, they were extremely close. And I think that’s part of what is hitting Devon so hard.
It feels like just this bone deep betrayal. But he’s going to go next week to visit Mariah at the clinic when we all know that Devon really wants her in prison, and he hands Mariah an envelope and says, “This is for you.” So, I wonder if Devon is giving her a fat stack of cash. Because he wants to pay Mariah to never come back to Genoa City so that she will never be around Dominic Winters (Ethan Ray Clark) again.
Devon is really ticked off that Dominic is concerned and asking about Mariah. So, I know that she’d be devastated if Devon did this. But she would probably consider doing it for Devon because she caused him and Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) so much pain. But obviously her mom and others would be upset about it.
Young and the Restless: Danny Romalotti Missing
Also, next week, Christine Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) asks Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) if something is wrong, and he’s hoping not. But he asked Christine if she’s heard from his dad. So, something is obviously going on with Danny Romalotti because it sounds like he might be missing.
And what’s a little scary about that is this is not very long after crazy Patty was just telling Matt about high school and that she used to date Danny. Of course, Matt had no idea who he was. But it would be scary if Patty has Danny, you know, if she snatched him or if he ran into Matt and they’re together somewhere.
So, we’ll see how all of that goes. But be sure to come back for our detailed daily spoilers tomorrow for the week of May 18th. And check back for our weekly predictions, two week spoilers, and so much more.
