Young and the Restless Next Week: Cane Arrested & Matt’s Deadly New Scheme!
Young and the Restless spoilers for next week on the CBS soap, including Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) being arrested, and we expect a couple of more arrests before the week is done. Plus, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) has a whole new murder plan he’s bringing to Genoa City.
We’re also going to talk about how Victor Newman‘s (Eric Braeden) schemes could literally kill Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore). Plus, crazy Patty pushes Victor and Diane Jenkins Abbott‘s (Susan Walters) buttons.
Patty Williams Causes Problems on Young and the Restless
So, first, let’s talk about Genoa City’s newest nutcase, Patty Williams. And this past week, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) had a very unpleasant encounter with Patty, who was blathering to him about her and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And you know, Patty thinks they belong together. Meanwhile, Jack was recovering some memories from their time on the yacht that had kind of slipped his mind.
So, he was recalling that he was trying to game Patty when they were on the boat. You know, Jack was thinking about when he said he’d give her a kiss if she gave him a tour. And he’s thinking that he might be able to flip Patty over to be loyal to him to get some payback on Victor. Cause let’s be real, Patty could cause serious problems for Victor if Jack can convince her to testify against Victor in the matter of his kidnapping.
Y&R Spoilers: Diane & Victor Annoyed
So, the week ahead, we’ve got Diane and Victor sitting at the bar at the GCAC. I don’t know if they went together or just wound up there together, griping about their spouses. And then Patty strolls up and says hello to them and asks if this day can get any better. I think that Victor is underestimating the risk that Patty poses to him as long as she’s in Genoa City because Victor already reminded Patty, don’t tell anybody they work together when he gave her that big bag of cash as payment for ripping apart Jack and Diane‘s marriage.
Multiple Arrests Coming on Young and the Restless
Now, let’s talk about Victor’s other awful antics and the one arrest that we know for sure is coming, but possibly up to three arrests. So, at the end of this week, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) met with Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) because Phyllis was expecting Michael to be her attorney in case Christine Williams Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) decides to prosecute her using the faked evidence. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Victor also discussed that he threatened Michael. He better not represent Phyllis. But that’s exactly what Lauren expects him to do, and his wife wants him to cut ties with Victor once and for all.
So, Michael warned Phyllis that Victor is going to put her in prison. He won’t stop. Phyllis knows the evidence is fake and she told Christine that what they have against her is bogus. And the problem is Cricket told Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) that no matter what, she has to consider the evidence.
So, Victoria did deliver a stack of fake emails to Christine, who asked Victoria if she realized other people will go down with Phyllis, including her ex-husband, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), who is the father of her children. And Victoria’s attitude was, “Oh well, that’s Billy’s problem.” So, Victoria lied and told Christine they found the fake evidence on the Chancellor servers.
Lily Panics on Y&R
So, next week on Young and the Restless, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) is horrified when the police slap handcuffs on Cane Ashby at the GCAC, and Christine is there overseeing the arrest personally. Cane’s supposed to be heading to New York to donate bone marrow to save Malcolm’s life. So, Lily is spiraling about how this can’t be happening. And Cane vows to Lily that Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan), his lawyer, will get him out on bail and he’ll make sure that he gets to New York in time to donate to save Malcolm.
With Cane arrested, I suspect that means Billy, who is newly engaged to pregnant Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope), is likely also going to be arrested. And if they go down, Phyllis is also likely going to be arrested, which is going to upset Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and maybe even his dad, Danny.
I’m very curious if Amanda made a backup of the AI data before she deleted it. Remember Cane told her to delete it and in the meantime, Phyllis had, you know, moved the assets, but Amanda was in charge of deleting the AI. So, she might actually have evidence against Victor because honestly, the man needs a huge slap from karma for everything he has done.
So, we got one confirmed arrest, likely more than that. And with Malcolm’s life on the line, I wonder if Victoria is going to show any humanity at all and for once not enable her father. I kind of doubt it. But Johnny and Katie may not be happy with her. I also wonder if Sally being pregnant causes Victoria any crisis of conscience.

Matt Clark’s New Murder Plan on Young and the Restless
And now let’s talk about Matt Clark’s new murder plan. So, it turns out Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) really thought she killed Matt, but she did not get the job done. But hey, gave it the old college try, right? By the end of this week, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is asking Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) to try and get Sienna to tell her what exactly happened with Matt. Cause it looks like Sienna is freaking out. She’s shutting down. She is scared she’s going to be arrested for killing Matt.
And Noah promises it won’t happen. And then Sharon questions Sienna, who says she tried to talk Matt out of hurting the Newmans. She was trying to talk him out of blowing up the gas station, but he did it anyway. And Sienna kind of freaked out, sort of blacked out, and then next thing she knew, Matt was lying on the ground, not moving.
And Sienna swears that Matt was definitely dead. Obviously, she did it. But Sharon insists that Matt hasn’t turned up dead yet. So, nobody’s found a body. So, Sienna is yelling by the end of this week, insisting that Matt’s dead. And because she’s freaking out, Sharon can’t get any more details out of her.
Y&R Spoilers: Nick’s Still in Trouble
Also, on Friday, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) confessed to Victor that he’s hooked on fentanyl. And Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) says Nick’s been going to meetings. They all seem to think, “Oh, he’s got this. He’ll be fine.” Nobody, not Victor and not Adam, so far have mentioned Nick needs rehab. So, I’m guessing the addiction story is not quite done. You don’t just walk off a cocaine and fentanyl addiction like it’s nothing. So, Matt may yet to get to see what he wants, which is Nick even deeper into addiction.
Meanwhile, on Friday’s episode, Matt woke up in the desert with a head wound that’s bloody. And in the week of May 4th through the 8th on Young and the Restless, we’ve got Sienna’s toxic husband crawling out of the sand and into a diner. And Matt asked the waitress how far is he from this place?
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Matt’s on Way Back to GC
And he shows the girl a card from the GCAC. So, that means that Matt is about to be on his way to Genoa City. And I’m sure his plan is to kill his wife Sienna for nearly murdering him. I’m betting Matt’s new murder plan is a lot like his old murder plan and also involves killing Noah. And that means Sharon and Nick and Adam also need to watch out, probably Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) as well and probably Victor also needs to worry. So, Matt’s going to be in town soon wreaking havoc as we get deeper into May sweeps.
I will say that the Newmans may suspect that Sienna lied about killing Matt, but at this point I tend to think she really believes that she killed him, but she was kind of in shock and denial. So, Y&R is absolutely getting wild next week and the second full week of May sweeps with arrests and not so dead people crawling back into town. Be sure to check out our full weekly spoilers for May 4th through the 8th, our weekly predictions, two week spoilers, and lots more.
