The drama in The Young and the Restless continues to escalate the week of February 17-21, 2025,
as alliances shift, old rivalries resurface, and unexpected surprises shake Genoa City.
While Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) extends an olive branch to one person, he plots against another.
Meanwhile, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) taps back into her manipulative ways, and Damian (Jermaine Rivers) delivers a shocking move that leaves his family stunned.
Victor’s Double Play: A Truce and a Revenge Plan
Victor Newman never stays quiet for long, and despite recently surviving a gunshot wound, he’s more determined than ever to control the playing field.
The week kicks off with Victor unexpectedly making peace with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Given their turbulent history—especially after Victor played a key role in forcing Lily out of her CEO position at Chancellor—this sudden truce is bound to raise eyebrows. Is Lily truly willing to put the past behind her, or does she have her own agenda?
But Victor’s not about to turn over a new leaf just yet. Midweek, he reveals a revenge plan to Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), and unsurprisingly, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is in his crosshairs again. Jack has been a long-time thorn in Victor’s side, and it looks like The Mustache is ready to reignite their bitter rivalry. By the end of the week, however, Victor shifts gears and uses his power to assist Lily. Could this mysterious alliance between Victor and Lily have anything to do with Damian?
Audra’s Back in the Game
Audra Charles has spent some time softening her edges, but that doesn’t mean she’s lost her sharp instincts. This week, she proves she’s still a formidable schemer by making a pact with Holden (Nathan Owens). Their shared past is slowly coming to light, and it appears Audra is looking to use that connection to her advantage.
While the details of their agreement remain unclear, there’s speculation that Holden could be key in securing a new job opportunity for Audra—potentially with Damian. Having been out of work for a while, she’s desperate to reclaim her power, and she isn’t above using manipulation to get what she wants.
Later in the week, Audra pushes Holden for information. Is she digging for dirt on Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), or does she have her sights set on Damian’s past? Her motivation remains unclear, but one thing is certain—Audra always has an angle. The bigger question is: just how deep was her relationship with Holden in Los Angeles, and what exactly does he owe her?
Damian’s Bombshell Move
Damian’s world was flipped upside down when he learned that the father who raised him isn’t his biological dad and that Nate is actually his half-brother. On top of that, he’s struggling with the devastating news about his mother’s declining health. This week, Damian takes action in an unexpected way, catching Nate and Amy (Valarie Pettiford) completely off guard.
By week’s end, whatever Damian does prompts Nate to make a major declaration—he vows to protect Amy at all costs. Does Damian lash out in frustration, or is he making a power move that threatens Nate’s relationship with Amy? With so much uncertainty surrounding Damian’s true motives, everyone in Genoa City should be keeping a close eye on him.
More Trouble on the Horizon
Elsewhere in Genoa City:
Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is feeling uneasy as Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) grows closer to Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). This triangle is bound to get messy, especially after Phyllis’ revealing Valentine’s Day dream. With both women feeling threatened, tensions are set to explode.
Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) puts Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) to the test. In true Victor Newman fashion, Kyle decides to assess Claire’s loyalty. Whether he’s questioning her allegiance to the Abbott family or Victor himself, this could backfire on him in a major way. If Claire catches on to his mind games, will she turn the tables on him?
With scheming, betrayals, and shocking twists, next week on The Young and the Restless promises to be a must-watch. Don’t miss a minute as the drama unfolds in Genoa City!
