The stakes rise sharply in Genoa City in the new Young and the Restless promo, which hints at multiple crises unfolding at once.
As Victor’s power play raises disturbing questions, a troubling health update spreads worry, and a child’s disappearance sends panic through loved ones, tensions spiral fast heading into next week.
Over drinks at Society, Adam confides in Chelsea that Victor wants to use Lily and the twins as leverage against Cane in their fight over control of Newman Enterprises. Chelsea is horrified at the idea that Victor might kidnap them so that he truly holds all the cards. This week, Victor hits Cane where it hurts. Is his family his weakness? Is a threat to them enough to make him back down, or will it just deepen his resolve to take Victor down? When Victor puts Cane on notice, will it be enough to keep Newman Enterprises in the family?
Billy angrily confronts Sally over her calling his mother and telling her that he might be leaving Abbott Communications to take Cane up on his offer to run Chancellor. He is taken aback when Sally informs him that she didn't get a chance to speak to Jill but did speak to his Uncle Snapper, who informed her that Jill's health had taken a turn for the worse. Sally is desperate to save Billy from himself and is willing to risk his wrath by trying to bring his mother into the situation. Will Jill turn out to be the answer she is hoping for, even if it's not the way she planned? Will news of his mother's declining health keep Billy from going against her wishes and reclaiming Chancellor for himself?
Abby is frantic when she and Devon can't find Dominic. She laments that they have searched the grounds and spoken to everyone, but there is no sign of him. Adding to her distress, it is getting dark, and their young son is nowhere to be found. Neither of them knows the darkness that is controlling Mariah or the threat she poses. Could she be the reason for Dominic's disappearance? This week, Abby and Devon's world is rocked, and they receive shocking news. Has what they feared really happened? Is their son gone?
