Y&R Spoilers Next Two Weeks: Kyle Abbott Bargains With His Father’s Attacker

TL;DR: Y&R spoilers next two weeks put Kyle Abbott in Patty Williams’ jail cell with a deal, not forgiveness. Sally Spectra blames the wrong people while Victor Newman circles her company, and Nikki Newman finally gets her bandages off.

Kyle Abbott Sits Down Across From The Woman Who Stabbed His Father

The Y&R spoilers next two weeks belong to one scene, and it happens inside a jail cell. Kyle Abbott is going to sit down across from Patty Williams, the woman who put a knife in his father. He is not there for closure. He is there to trade. Jack Abbott is still in a hospital bed, and Kyle has decided the man who really aimed that knife is Victor Newman.

Here is where it turns ugly. Don’t be surprised if Kyle leans on Patty to hand the police everything she knows about Victor, including the kidnapping scheme and the yacht mess Genoa City has been chewing over since March. Watch a son bargain with his father’s would-be killer and try to call it heroism. You cannot. It is a different flavor of Newman ruthlessness, wearing an Abbott face.

Patty is sitting in a police cell, not a psychiatric ward, and that distinction is the whole story. She stabbed Jack on the July 3 episode. Then she walked into his hospital room with a loaded syringe and put Diane Jenkins Abbott on a gurney with poison in her blood. She is not a confused woman anymore. She is a defendant, and the fans over at the daily Genoa City scoop have been calling this collision for weeks.

Think Kyle is crossing a line he can never uncross? Write to Amber Sinclair at amber@soapoperamagazine.com and make your case.

Y&R Spoilers: Sally Spectra Aims At The Wrong Newmans

Sally Spectra spends the week of July 13 tearing into Adam Newman and Chelsea Lawson, convinced the two of them are circling Spectra-Charles. They are not. Victor is. He wants Newman Media back, and Sally’s company happens to be the box it is sitting in. She is pregnant, she is engaged to Billy Abbott, and she is screaming at the only two people in town who are not currently trying to gut her.

Adam has a counteroffer brewing, and nobody in the history of this show has ever found negotiating with Victor easy. Billy, meanwhile, takes a hard pass on joining Kyle’s revenge campaign. He has a fiancee and a baby coming, so he picks the boring, decent option for once. If I know these writers, that restraint holds for about four episodes.

Why Did Patty Williams Stab Jack Abbott On The Young And The Restless?

Patty stabbed Jack on the July 3 episode because she had convinced herself the two of them belonged together forever, and she framed Diane for it before the blood dried. Here is the piece almost nobody is connecting. Diane has never been formally cleared on screen. Jack moved to exonerate her on July 10, but no dismissal scene has aired, which means she walks back into the Abbott mansion and sobs in Traci Abbott‘s arms while two attempted murder charges are still technically breathing.

Y&R Spoilers: Nikki Newman Faces The Bandage Reveal

Nikki Newman gets her eye bandages off, and nothing airing so far promises she will see a thing. Victor accuses her of betrayal first, because she blames him for pointing Patty toward Jack. Then, inside the same stretch of episodes, the pair of them agree to start over. Four decades of marriage, compressed into one week of whiplash.

She is fighting on two fronts. Nick Newman is fresh out of an overdose and staring down every temptation Genoa City can throw at him, and his mother knows exactly how thin that ice is. Elsewhere, Victoria Newman and Claire Newman take a quiet moment to honor Cole Howard, one year after Legionnaires’ disease took him.

Y&R Spoilers: Mariah Copeland Walks Free And Devon Winters Snaps

The week of July 20 hands Devon Winters the news he has been dreading. Mariah Copeland is getting out. The woman who took his son is walking free, and he may hear it in advance or he may simply turn around and find her standing there. Lily Winters, Nate Hastings and Abby Winters have all clocked how badly he is doing, and Abby has been dropping hints to a hospitalized Jack about it. None of them can fix him.

Nate has his own door cracking open. He chases down the orthopedic surgeon that Dr. Stephanie Simmons recommended, because a repaired hand could put him back in an operating room. Over at The Shadow Room, Matt Clark keeps needling Noah Newman, and Sienna Bacall may find herself defending the man everyone else wants gone. Reading between the lines, Sienna picking Matt’s side is the grenade that blows that triangle wide open.

Whose side are you on when Kyle sits down in that cell? Drop your verdict in the comments and let the rest of Genoa City argue with you.

Kyle Abbott Is Turning Into The Man He Wants To Destroy

Here is our take. Kyle is not wrong that Victor lit this fuse. But the second he starts trading favors with the woman who stabbed his father, he stops being the wronged son and starts being a Newman with better hair. Patty is a defendant, not a bargaining chip.

Could this blow up in his face? Absolutely. My gut tells me Patty hands him something real and then burns him with it, because that is the only currency she has ever spent. Come fight about it on our Facebook page and pick a side.
