The Young and the Restless Spoilers May 4: Nikki Confronts Lily

A confrontation, setting boundaries, and more drama in the next episode of Y&R.

Here’s what’s coming up on The Young and the Restless for Monday, May 4, 2026. Fans can expect Victor to refuse to apologize, and more. Let Soap Opera News break it down for you.

Victor Refuses to Be Sorry

Victor (Eric Braeden) is Victor. He plays the game his own way, and he rarely—if ever—apologizes for the moves he makes. He clearly has zero regrets about going after Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). After all, these two have been at odds for decades.

So, when Victor crosses paths with Diane (Susan Walters), don’t expect him to show any remorse for his recent actions. In fact, spoilers for May 4 confirm he makes no apologies to her whatsoever. Victor is standing firm, proving once again that he will do whatever it takes to come out on top.

Nikki Confronts Lily Over Her Deception

While Victor is busy being unremorseful, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is looking for answers. She decides it’s time to confront Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) about the secret deal she made with Victor. 

Nikki knows that Lily agreed to pretend she and her kids were kidnapped—all as a part of Victor’s grand plan to reclaim his companies and secure Chancellor for Lily’s family.

Nikki has been around long enough to understand that desperate times call for desperate measures, but that doesn’t mean she approves. She isn’t happy with the lengths Lily went to, and this confrontation is bound to get tense.

Billy Bargains and Jack Schemes

Elsewhere in Genoa City, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) is back to his old tricks. He’s trying to strike a bargain with Victoria (Amelia Heinle), and we have to wonder if he’s doing this on Phyllis’ (Michelle Stafford) behalf. Billy always seems to have an angle, but Victoria isn’t usually one to be easily swayed.

Meanwhile, Jack is attempting to set some serious boundaries with Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). It’s obvious that Jack is cooking up a scheme to protect his family and his business, but bringing Patty into the fold is a massive risk. Can he actually keep her under control, or is this a partnership that will blow up in his face?

What do you think of Lily’s decision to fake a kidnapping? Was it worth the risk? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
