Key Takeaways

• Patty Williams returns.
• Victoria and Kyle turn passionate.
• Victor targets Jack.
• Lily pressures Holden.
• Nate eyes a medical comeback.

Patty Williams Returns

Let’s kick off this post with Patty. Fans know the last time we saw the villain, she was behind bars. It seems that the lady will return to our TV screens. In fact, Patty reconnects with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).

Speaking of Matt, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) faces some questions this week. Phyllis will be interrogated by Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). It seems Adam has some concerns about Phyllis’ connection to Matt.

Sponsor Problem

Over with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), he will be getting ready to leave rehab soon. Nick already has a sponsor, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). However, Victor has huge problems with Jack being involved. 

Victor will warn Jack not to mess with his family. However, I have a feeling that Victor isn’t going to stop there. In any case, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will have some wise advice for Nick.

Lily Winters’ Plays Hardball

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of August 24 reveal that Lily will push Holden to choose a side. Of course, Holden will likely pick Lily’s side of the Chancellor battle.

However, this could be the first real test of their sibling dynamic. We know Lily is a good leader, but she can also go way too far.

What Else to Expect

As for the rest of the week, Nate will talk to Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox). Will Nate be able to return to medicine? 

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) has an offer for Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). However, expect the dynamic to change as the week progresses.

These rivals will suddenly turn passionate, and I can’t wait for Victor and Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) to find out! With how much Victor despises the Abbott men, this could turn Victoria from daddy’s most favorite to least trusted!

Plus, Jack and Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) get ready for their big day getaway. However, I do worry about Patty suddenly resurfacing. Could Jack and Diane be in grave danger, especially with everything they have endured?
