The Young and the Restless, one of the longest-running American daily soaps, has been airing since March 1973 on CBS. An array of story arcs are at a crisscross on the show's plot currently with Damian Kane in town and Phyllis Summers missing. As expected, Victor Newman will continue to play a central role in the soap's storyline connecting the various arcs including his dislike for the Abbotts.
The past few weeks saw Victor Newman revived and back to action after his near-fatal gunshot injury during a scuffle with Ian Ward. Following his recovery, the Newman patriarch tried to dissuade his granddaughter, Claire, from dating Kyle Abbott. He also planned to take down Jabot Cosmetics with Michael Baldwin.
Elsewhere, Nate Hastings tried hard to get Damian and Amy to reconcile. While Damian stayed back in town to woo Lily Winters, his friend, Holden, revived his past relationship with Audra. Both Audra and Lily strove to reunite Damian with Amy.

The Young and the Restless: Victor has information for Lily
Lily Winters had pointed out to Victor how badly he had treated his friend, Neil Winters's daughter. However, she had agreed to forgive him if he lent her a helping hand. At her request, Victor agreed to get information on Damian Kane.
It is likely that Victor will hand over all the information to Lily on Friday's The Young and the Restless episode. In response to her query, he may assure that Damian seems to be a paper head of the companies with a recluse Aristotle Dumas as the real owner. He may also affirm that he has heard the name of the financial honcho before.
While Lily may not reveal why she is interested in knowing about Damian, Victor may himself wonder about the veiled Aristotle Dumas. He may make a phone call to Michael and instruct him to scan the markets to get information about this concealed person.
