The Young and the Restless Spoilers Monday, July 16: Nick’s J.T. Mask Stuns Victor – Jack Isn’t a Chancellor – Billy Busted

“The Young and the Restless” spoilers for Monday, July 16, tease that Victor (Eric Braeden) will realize he’s been duped. In the alley, “J.T.” (Thad Luckinbill) stares down his enemy. Once Vic reaches in his pocket, “J.T.” asks if he’s going to shoot his own son. Suddenly, Nick (Joshua Morrow) peels off a J.T. mask and reveals that it’s been him all along.

Y&R fans know Nick has put up with a lot over the years, but he couldn’t tolerate the custody situation. When Victor took Christian (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen), Nick knew he had to play dirty. He hints that there are more blows headed Victor’s way.

Later, Victor visits Sharon’s (Sharon Case) place. She naturally wants to hear about the showdown with J.T. Victor assumes Nick’s still keeping secrets from her. After Vic takes off, Nick confesses his plot and leaves Sharon in shock. He gave Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Sharon quite a fright outside the house. Nick suggests everything had to look legit, but he’s relieved that Sharon now knows the truth.

Sharon questions Nick’s decision to worry Victoria like this. He’s not sorry he did what he had to do for Christian’s sake. Nick thinks it all worked out, but Sharon still seems upset. She’s not sure she really knows Nick anymore, so these two clearly have issues to work on.

Over with Phyllis (Gina Tognoni), she gets a text from the private investigator she hired. It contains the number of the suite Billy (Jason Thompson) entered. Phyllis marches over and catches Billy gambling. He claims he’s got this under control, but she pummels him with questions.

Billy notes that Summer (Hunter King) set up a poker game and that’s how it all started. He also mentions his quest to win back the yacht. Phyllis is appalled by Billy’s deception and snaps at him for trying to blame Summer. Meanwhile, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) continue to enjoy their evening together. However, Tessa sneaks off momentarily for a shady task.

On the phone, Tessa asks somebody if he or she got the money. She meets back up with Mariah and they talk about where they stand. After Mariah discusses how she’s forgiven Tessa, they determine that this can be their first date.

At Neil’s (Kristoff St. John) penthouse, he abruptly stops kissing Ashley (Eileen Davidson). She wonders what’s wrong, which leads them to rehash the past. They once bailed on a romance because it could’ve ruined their friendship. Neil hints that perhaps they were too hasty about jumping in again. However, he admits it was a special evening. Ashley expresses her gratitude before taking off.

At the Abbott house, Jill (Jess Walton) rages over Jack’s (Peter Bergman) secret DNA test. She promises she’ll sue if he opens the envelope, but he taunts her about being afraid. Jill eventually grabs it to see for herself. She takes a look and informs Jack that Phillip (Donnelly Rhodes) isn’t his father.

Jack’s disappointed since he thought he’d cracked the case. When Ashley arrives, she says maybe Jack doesn’t need an answer. Ash doesn’t think knowing her bio dad’s identity was helpful, but Jack has to find his own. It sounds like the truth is the only thing that’ll bring him closure.

“The Young and the Restless” spoilers say Jack’s mission will bring even more twists and turns. We’ll give you updates as other Y&R news and rumors emerge. Stay tuned to see what’s next in Genoa City.
