Schemes, Secrets & Tears: Y&R’s Most Shocking Twists of the Week (June 30–July 4)!

The drama in Genoa City was piping hot this week!

The Young and the Restless knows how to bring the drama and June 30 – July 4 was no exception. Cane’s dark and chaotic ways left us with more questions than answers…and our jaws on the floor!

Sneaky, Sneaky! 

Cane’s (Billy Flynn) little trip to Genoa City on Tuesday answered a few more questions about his secret little schemes. His meet up with Holden showed us just how shady things really are. Not only did Cane praise his apparent right-hand man, but he gave him a list of people to get close to including Adam, Chelsea, Claire…and Mariah? What he wants with these players remains to be seen but we’re sure it’s not exactly on the up-and-up.

The Queen of Eavesdropping 

Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) never fails to disappoint and Wednesday’s episode proved she’s still at the top of her sleuthing game. She hid out in the maze and caught Amanda (Mishael Morgan) and Carter (Vincent Stalba) talking about their boss and his time away…and his impending return. On top of that, it became clear Cane is up to no good and that there was way more drama to come. So much so, the legal eagle was worried. 

A Horrible Death

Thursday brought us to tears as Victoria and Claire sat by Cole’s bedside hoping and praying he’d recover from his illness. Sadly, that was not their family’s fate. No sooner did the ladies get there than Cole spent his final precious moments saying goodbye to the woman he loves and the daughter he finally met. That very last kiss between Victoria and Cole melted our hearts and broke our souls. This sad ending to what we hoped would be Victoria’s forever love story is terrible and we have to wonder…why did Y&R bring Cole back at all?
