For Friday’s May 31 episode of The Young and the Restless, spoilers show Victor Newman turning to his favorite activity—rationalizing his own bad deeds while accusing others of doing far worse. This week, it’s Michael’s turn!
Bad to the Bone
Victor (Eric Braeden) locked up a woman in his basement, plied her with vodka, and spit food at her. Jordan (Colleen Zenk) kidnapped a newborn, tried to kill the entire Newman family, then made off with Claire (Hayley Erin) and Harrison (Redding Munsell) for good measure.
But do you know who the real bad guy is in this whole scenario? Michael (Christian Le Blanc). That’s what Victor has decided.
Sure, he and Jordan are both kidnappers and killers, but Michael—Michael!—threw a monkey wrench into Victor’s plan, insisted on Jordan being let out of the basement, and then had the audacity to act like he held the moral high ground! The gall! The cheek! The disloyalty! Because, yes, of course, this is what Victor is really upset about. How could Michael put anyone—anyone!—ahead of his beloved employer?
You and Me Against the World
Victor mumbled a threat, warning Jack (Peter Bergman) away from Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). Diane (Susan Walters) told Jack he could either support Nikki, or stay married to Diane, not both.
So what do Nikki and Jack do? They come up with a plan where Jack can continue risking his marriage and his life for Nikki, and Nikki can let him do it while telling Victor a series of weaker and weaker lies. What could possibly go wrong?
Money Makes the World Go Round
Summer (Allison Lanier) has never forgiven Sally (Courtney Hope) for hooking Summer up with her dream job in Italy. And Sally understands why Summer hates her so. But when there is an opportunity for both to make money, they are willing to suck it up. After all, nothing is more important than that.
