The Young and the Restless spoilers for the episode set to air on May 28, 2025
Kyle and Claire plot to impress Victor
Over the past few weeks on The Young and the Restless, Kyle Abbott has been working hard to fix his reputation and get back in the good graces of the Newman family, especially Victor. He’s formed an unexpected team with Claire Newman, and the two are determined to prove themselves.
Even though Kyle isn’t sure their plan will work, he agrees to go along with Claire’s bold idea to use Nikki’s birthday party as the perfect moment for a big move. Claire thinks that if Kyle does something impressive at the party, it can help change Victor’s opinion of him. Unknown to them, however, Victor is secretly working with Audra to break up Kyle and Claire, so their plan may fall apart before it even begins.
Victor’s hidden motives and a special birthday surprise
Victor is not the kind of person who lets others control a situation. While Kyle and Claire are busy working on their plan, Victor is secretly getting ready to make a big move of his own. With Nikki’s birthday coming up, he’s planning a big surprise, possibly involving a new party planner named Pietro, who appears for the first time in this episode of The Young and the Restless.
Nikki may enjoy the surprise, but Victor’s real plans are still a mystery. His secret partnership with Audra suggests he’s working on something much bigger to protect his legacy and keep his rivals on edge.
Diane reveals the Abbott mansion renovations
Diane Jenkins has put a lot of time and effort into updating the Abbott mansion. She wanted to give it a fresh, modern look while still keeping its special history. Diane had some disagreements with Billy before, which made her feel unsure about how the changes would be received by others.
Now, she’s getting ready to show the new design to Traci. At first, Traci is speechless, maybe surprised by how different everything looks, but it seems like she ends up liking what Diane has done. If both Traci and Ashley give her good feedback, this can help Diane improve her standing with the Abbott family.
Ashley and Billy on the family home
Ashley hasn’t reacted to the renovations yet, but what she thinks is important. Billy didn’t like Diane’s changes, but if Ashley and Traci support them, he may be outnumbered. Diane feels nervous about the changes again, but her hard work may bring the family closer instead of causing more problems. Still, she has a reason to worry as Victor’s next moves can put her place in the family at risk.
Fans of The Young and the Restless can watch the new episodes of the show on CBS and Paramount Plus.
