Young and the Restless 2-week spoilers for August 18-29, 2025 see Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) lying and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) accusing.
Young and the Restless Two Week Spoilers Kick Off
It’s Belynda from Soap Dirt. If you’re not following us, please reach down and click that subscribe button. Let’s jump right into it. On Monday, August 18th, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) are talking about Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford) seeming worn down by Damian Kane’s (Jermaine Rivers) death and funeral. Nate needs a distraction. He asks his girlfriend about Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). Audra tells him that her gut told her it was time to cut ties with Victor.
Victor Newman Drama and Audra’s Decisions on Y&R
Then Nate stuns Audra and says Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) told him that it was Victor who backed out of the deal. Audra gets defensive, and that makes Nate even more suspicious. Audra tells him to distract him that she’s going to take a job working with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) at AbbottComm.
Lily tells Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) that she will help him with the kids if he tells her what all he’s planning. But he’s more interested in talking about a reunion, and she’s not. Xane suspects that Lily is playing him, so he turns down her deal.
Lily Winters Caught in the Middle
Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) interrupts them, and Lily tries to get some info out of him. However, she leaves mad with nothing. Cane tells Holden to add Nick to his target list. Then Cane sets a time to call the kids and face the music.
Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Nick are discussing Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) staying in Italy permanently. Nick asks Phyllis about Cane and tries to get her to work on Cane to accept his offer to be an ally. Phyllis doesn’t buy any of this. She asks if Nick is trying to get her to betray Cane. Nick insists he just wants peace.
Young and the Restless: Claire and Nikki Talk Love and Victor
Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) tells Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) she knows what Victor did to ruin Victoria’s love life again and again. She’s not going to let it happen to her. Claire is done with Victor. Nikki realizes she can’t make this better, so she just tells her granddaughter to ignore Victor and pursue her happiness. Claire tells Nikki she’s going to tell Nate what a garbage pile Audra is. Obviously, I’m paraphrasing those words.
Phyllis Summers Gives Advice and Diane Jenkins’ Surprise
Tuesday, August 19th, Phyllis gives Cane some advice that he didn’t ask for. It could be about Lily Winters and the kids. When Phyllis was talking to Nick Newman, Lily approached them and was snarking about Cane and the kids, finding what he did unforgivable.
Phyllis knows how much her kids have forgiven her. I think for far worse than what Cane has done, just lying about his name if you think about it. Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) surprises Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) by planning a romantic getaway.
I wonder if they’re finally going to get a real honeymoon or if it’s just local plans in Genoa City – a staycation. They have drinks at the Abbott Mansion as Diane surprises Jack with what she’s thinking.
Holden Novak Sparks Suspicion and Romance
Holden demands to know if Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) is digging dirt on him for Cane. We have to wonder if Holden is being paranoid or if he has a reason to ask. Does Holden know that Daniel is the son of Phyllis, one of Cane’s new partners? Also, Holden is crushing hard on Claire. He may be totally off Audra now. Holden’s really trying to resist because Claire’s with Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor).
And he’s focused on his new job with Cane. Audra may be peeved to find out even that Holden doesn’t want her now because he was lowkey stalking her. She acted annoyed. Audra’s ego may actually be bruised if she loses her stalker to Claire and then couldn’t seduce Kyle away from Claire. So Audra may be setting herself up as Claire’s chief rival, but it may not work out the way she wants.
Young and the Restless: Daniel Romalotti, Tessa Porter, and Billy Abbott Updates
Wednesday, August 20th, we’ve got Daniel seeing Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) in a new light. I wonder if she may actually get flirty with Daniel and if there’s some sort of vibe there because Daniel’s feelings for Tessa may intensify soon.
Also this week, Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) asks Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) about what he’s going to be doing since Sally is apparently going to be running AbbottComm. Billy tells Chelsea he’s got big news to share soon.
On Wednesday, Billy is quite angry. He confronts Chelsea and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) looking for answers. I wonder if Chelsea told Adam that Billy handed control of AbbottComm over to Sally, and Adam did a hit piece on Billy about him being a loser before his company even gets off the ground. It sounds like something Adam would do and that Victor would love.
Y&R Spoilers: Claire Grace Warns Nate Hastings About Audra Charles
Claire tells Nate they need to talk. Then Claire tells him he needs to know the kind of person that Audra Charles is. She’s going to spill all the beans about the Victor deal, the Kyle seduction, all of it. Audra is going to try and blame things on Kyle to make herself look better and to make Claire look paranoid. Audra may say, “Oh no, no, there is no deal. Kyle was just trying to seduce me and I rejected him.” I don’t think any of her scrambling, lying, and denying is going to help.
Young and the Restless: Nate Hastings and Devon Winters Catch Up
Thursday, August 21st, Nate updates Devon Winters (Bryton James), who is just back from his trip to see Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) over on Beyond the Gates. I’m sure Nate is going to talk about Damian’s funeral and Amy’s struggling and what Audra has been up to with Kyle and Victor. The guys talk at Society.
Jack offers Kyle some fatherly advice and wisdom on Thursday, likely about Claire, Victor, all of the above. And speaking of The Mustache, he makes a decision that is going to shock everyone. I wonder if he is going to take Victoria’s advice and tell Claire that he will accept her and Kyle. If he does… I don’t buy it.
The Mustache Makes a Game-Changing Decision
Friday, August 22nd, Nate demands the truth from Audra Charles, no more BS, no more lies, the truth. Just let the chips fall where they may. I would still be shocked if Nate got the full truth out of Audra.
Phyllis Summers gets her first work assignment from Cane. I wonder if it’s going to be to spy on Nick, which might work out just fine since Nick has approached her about Cane on Young and the Restless.
Audra Charles’ Scramble and Phyllis Summers’ Dangerous Game
The week of August 25th through the 29th, we’ve got Audra scrambling. Of course, she wants to keep Nate. She already lost the hope of having her company. I’m sure Audra’s not going to give up on Nate without a fight. He’s surprised.
Of course, Audra is going to blame Claire and Kyle and Victor and anybody but her own actions. She likely won’t stop until she gets revenge. Also, Phyllis Summers is playing a dangerous game.
We have to wonder, will she really betray Nick for Cane? Unlike her kids, Daniel and Summer, I do not think Nick would forgive her. This is a deal breaker if she does it.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor Newman’s Strategy and Claire’s Doubts
Victor is strategizing. I suspect he’s going to keep trying to undermine Kyle while acting to Claire’s face like he’s chilling out. Speaking of his granddaughter, Claire is uneasy. All this stuff with Kyle might be too much. I wonder if Claire has some residual doubts about Kyle after Audra. A bunch of mud on her way out the door as she’s dumped.
Daniel Romalotti, Tessa Porter, and Victoria Newman Developments
Things are going to take a turn for Daniel and Tessa. They may be shifting from just friends to just a little more. Victoria comforts Nate. He’s going to be very upset about Audra working with her father. Victoria, of course, will have lots of opinions on that because she knows all about it as well. This is the worst time because Nate is also grieving Damian’s loss. Victoria is grieving Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck). So, we’ll see if that leads anywhere as they support each other.
Nick Newman, Sharon, and Y&R Relationship Shake-Ups on Young and the Restless
Nick and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) heat up. They kissed once, then it was an almost kiss. Looks like a full-on Shick reunion is coming very soon. Kyle and Jack are uneasy about Victor’s truce. Cane’s not going to give up on Lily, but he may get distracted by another woman. Sally comforts a hurt and angry Audra. Chelsea may lean into the Newmans after Billy goes on tirades and sticks close to Cane.
