The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Gives Lily a Motive — Victor and Nikki Offer the Means and Opportunity
The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) unplanned meeting with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) did not stop him from deciding about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Firing, Lily plays directly into Victor’s hands, just as the Moustache anticipated. He told Billy that nothing would need to be done to take over Chancellor. Instead, Victor said that Billy would cause the company to be lost.
Sure enough, telling Lily he intends to pay out her entire contract accelerates Victor’s plan to take control of Chancellor and install Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas) as its head.

Victor’s casual mention of Jill Abbott’s (Jess Walton) rumored health problem caught Billy’s attention. That was why Billy was asked to join the Moustache in the Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) Jazz Lounge.
Viewers knew that sit down will prove to be necessary. Billy will surely reference it when his business falls on him. He also seems more likely than not to trend back to Jabot, where Kyle left in a huff so he could attack his parents through Glissade.
Billy believes he was able to conceal the truth from Victor or at least not provide him with details about Jill’s condition. While not life-threatening, it was severe enough for her to step back from what was Chancellor Winters and allow Billy to take the helm.
But Jill needed to be consulted about buying Lily out. Her reaction to that foolish corporate mic drop will be noteworthy.

In addition to being paid a handsome sum to leave Chancellor, Lily was being secretly interviewed to join the revised company. Victor’s plan to put Nikki at the helm of her late mentor’s business is smart.
Victor also has a soft spot for Lily because of her connection to Neil. While once shockingly revealed as not being Neil’s child, with Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) holding paternity, Lily’s place link to Victor through Neil has endured.
Lily’s comments about Katherine Chancellor (Jess Walton) and Jill assured Nikki that Khalil’s character can be trusted. Lily also said that she would never allow Billy to destroy the company.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Billy Abbott Caught In A Loop
As much as he talks about not being a screw-up, Billy repeats that personal flaw. He’s convinced himself that Lily, the woman Jill specifically wanted to keep him in check, is the problem.
Ousting Lily and believing Victor can be shushed away by one conversation is highly naive. The stage is set for Chancellor to be beset by damaging business buzz and the fallout.
Victor does not lose that often. He pegs Billy as no competition and has all the chess pieces aligned to realize a victory shortly.
