"The Young and the Restless" spoilers for this week suggest upcoming episodes that are full of deception, drama and even threats of revealing a big secret. The arrangement between Nikki (played by Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor (played by Eric Braeden) may very well unravel. While the arrangement was working well for the two, other people knowing it might not be good for their image.
Audiences are aware that Nikki and Victor have a marriage arrangement wherein both pretend to be happily wed together and are totally committed to each other. However, this is just a front and both partners agree that they can actually have relationships with anyone else, if they so desire.
Nikki has been in a sexual relationship with the contractor Arturo (played by Jason Canela) for a while. This happened when Arturo asked for a 20 percent fee. Nikki talked him down to only a 10 percent increase and in addition, she also slept with him.
This might all be well and good, but Phyllis (played by Gina Tognoni) saw Nikki and Arturo walking up the stairs holding each other's hands. Of course, the woman guessed at what might be going on between the two, and it is not hard to imagine that Phyllis already knows about Nikki's secret.
While the relationship between Nikki and Arturo might not surprise Victor so much, it might still affect him to learn that his wife is in bed with a much younger man.
Meanwhile, Ashley (played by Eileen Davidson) apparently reached out to Billy (played by Jason Thompson) for her own personal purposes and gain. She continues to endure other people's unfair treatment, although she's not averse to being unfair in her dealings herself.
The life of Lily (played by Christel Khalil) is ultimately being affected by Hilary's (played by Mishael Jordan) decisions. Hilary's refusal to speak out about Cane's (played by Daniel Goddard) fling cost Lily her job, and eventually her marriage.
Catch all these scenes and more as "The Young and the Restless" airs weekdays on CBS.
