The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the next two weeks, July 25 to August 5, tease that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will hide his trail while Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) has to prove he’s a charmer. Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will also have a secret while Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) kicks off a sabotage plan, so here’s what fans can expect.
During the week of July 25-29, Nick will accidentally kill Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) after he takes a swing and knocks Ashland into the fireplace.
Ashland will fall and end up with a bloody gash on his head, so Nick and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) won’t be able to find a pulse.
However, there’ll be a bit of a mystery after Nick and Victoria step away from the house briefly.
Ashland’s body will be missing once Victoria and Nick return, so they’ll wonder what’s going on and could face some tricky questions when Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) shows up to investigate.
As for Victor, he’ll take charge of a crisis and do whatever it takes to protect Victoria.
We’ll see Victor tackle some family drama and undo any damage that’s been done.
It’s possible that Victor had some of his hired men dispose of Ashland’s body.
Victor may have made a bold move without Victoria and Nick’s knowledge – leaving him to fill them in later.
On the other hand, we can’t rule out the idea that Ashland still had a faint pulse after all and dragged himself out of there.
Either way, Nick’s going to struggle with an ethical dilemma and will turn to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) for guidance.
Nick may feel like he needs to tell the cops the whole story, but Nikki may argue that the truth is overrated!
Nikki will also approve Phyllis’ plan to make it look like Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is sabotaging Marchetti.
As part of that plan, Phyllis will work to score a job that’ll put her on the inside.
After Phyllis announces she’s taking a break from the hotel business, she’ll wonder if Summer Newman-Abbott (Allison Lanier) still has a place for her in marketing.
Phyllis will remind Summer that she offered her a job in Milan, but her mom’s sudden interest in joining the Marchetti team will send up red flags.
Summer will suspect Phyllis is plotting against Diane and may warn her mother not to pull any crazy stunts.
If Summer and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) hire Phyllis, they’ll no doubt want to watch over her carefully.
As for Sharon, she’ll have some advice for Adam – most likely regarding his complex love life.
Nick will end up giving Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) some guidance as well, so she’ll listen and decide if she wants to accept it.
Later, Sally will encourage Adam to just be real with her and admit he didn’t really want to break up.
Adam has really committed to this lie, but Sally will want a clean slate and may argue that there’s still hope for them as a couple.
While Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) tackles a new mission, Kyle will deliver terrible news and work to shield Harrison Abbott (Kellen Enriquez).
Harrison adores Ashland, so Kyle won’t want to do anything that might tip him off to the latest trouble.
Next, Mariah will hide a secret from Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), but we have no doubt she’ll have good intentions.
It’s possible Mariah will plan a surprise to cheer Tessa up following her surgery.
On the other hand, Mariah might conceal some updates on Tessa’s tour replacement to avoid upsetting her.
Other Y&R spoilers say Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings’ (Sean Dominic) working relationship will be put to the test.
Nate and Devon will push each other’s buttons, so this will lead to Nate getting especially frustrated during the week of August 1-5.
While Nate blows up at Devon, Nick will land in a situation where he feels the need to charm someone.
Will that involve manipulation as part of an Ashland cover-up? Could Nick charm a love interest instead?
Whatever the case, Victor will hide his trail and refuse to let Ashland cost his family anything else.
Whether Victor ordered the body to be disposed of or not, he’ll want to be done with Ashland permanently.
Victoria will be an emotional mess after the nightmare she’s endured, so she’ll lean on Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) in the aftermath.
Billy will lend a sympathetic ear and make sure Victoria knows that he’s got her back.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say the Ashland saga will continue until this mystery fully unravels, so stay tuned.
