And will Lily be his target?

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Friday, May 30 are all set up to celebrate Nikki… but Aristotle Dumas may have other plans.

Next on The Young and the Restless

Victor (Eric Braeden) knows how his wife deserves to be celebrated. It should be in a manner befitting the love and respect everybody feels for… Mrs. Victor Newman. He is determined to make sure Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) has a perfect day. No one is allowed to spoil it. Not even the mysterious Aristotle Dumas.

Message in a Bottle

On the other hand, Victor has been dying to get a good look at Dumas. So has Billy (Jason Thompson). So has Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). So it’s hard to believe that when Dumas sends a message to the entire town – via Amanda (Mishael Morgan) – that the assembled guests at Nikki’s party will just continue paying their respects to Victor… we, Mrs. Victor… and ignore the chance to learn more about the man Genoa City has been discussing non-stop. Will Nikki be left all alone, as the all go shoving each other out of the way to try and reach Dumas first?

Girl on Fire

Everybody wants Dumas…but whom does Dumas want? We’re starting to suspect it’s Lily (Christel Khalil). That makes a good amount of sense. If you want to come in and take over Genoa City, you don’t go after the Newmans or the Abbotts. They’re too rich, too powerful, and too difficult. You want to get your foot in the door via someone with a modicum of power. But not someone who could push back on your goals. Chancellor-Winters isn’t nearly as sturdy as they like to pretend they are. Which makes it the perfect entry point. And Lily the best way to close to the source of power.
