The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, July 17, indicate some bombshells on the horizon.

A father fiercely protects his family, while one character is in self-defense mode, and someone has damaging information to share. What’s set to unravel during Thursday’s show? Time to find out!

Victor Newman Protects

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, July 17, imply that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will fiercely protect his family’s interests, which means this may have to do with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) being framed for Damian Kane’s (Jermaine Rivers) murder.

Fans know that even if Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) was the intended target, murder is far from Nick’s style, so The Moustache will ensure his son doesn’t go down for this crime.

Still, considering they are locked away from the outside world, how much power does Victor hold in this situation, and can he protect Nick from any ramifications?

Cane Ashby Defends Himself

Across the maze, Cane will also work hard to defend himself; however, is this against the ongoing accusations that he’s behind Damian’s murder … or will someone attack him where he needs to “save” himself?

Cane has gone on and on about being someone’s target, so will this mystery person attempt to kill him during Thursday’s show?

Lily Winters’ Damaging Information

Lastly, The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday suggest that Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) will have some damaging information that she shares with Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd). With that said, who will she throw under the bus? Cane or Nick?

Obviously, Lily doesn’t trust Cane and may have intel for the cop when it comes to Damian’s murder, but Nick also went on a rant about Cane just after Damian’s stabbing, so will Lily tell Chance about this during the July 17 show? Could she implicate Nick in Damian’s murder?
