Next week on *The Young and the Restless* (August 19-23, 2024), tensions escalate as Chelsea Lawson’s rivalry with Sally Spectra takes a sinister turn. What began as a simple conflict has now spiraled into a dangerous obsession, with Sally’s anger fixated on Chelsea’s son, Connor.

The fear that Sally might harm Connor gnaws at Chelsea, leaving her constantly on edge. She’s haunted by the thought that her past mistakes with Adam could be driving Sally’s wrath, but nothing justifies putting Connor in danger. Chelsea confides in Adam, determined to protect their son from Sally’s malevolence, as they try to move forward for Connor’s sake.

Meanwhile, Victor Newman steps in with a stern warning to Billy Abbott. He recognizes the signs of Sally’s growing vendetta and knows that if anything happens to Connor, there will be severe consequences. Billy, caught between his loyalty to Sally and fear of Victor’s wrath, is left questioning whether Sally’s vendetta is worth the risk.

Amidst this chaos, Lily Winters seizes an opportunity to advance her career. Fired by Billy, Lily realizes she never truly loved him and was instead driven by ambition. Now, she sets her sights on the CEO position at Chancellor, determined to claim the power she believes she deserves, even if it means betraying Billy.

As the week unfolds, the characters of Genoa City find themselves entangled in a web of deceit, ambition, and danger. Chelsea’s desperation to protect Connor, Victor’s unyielding threats, Billy’s inner turmoil, and Lily’s ruthless power play all collide, setting the stage for explosive confrontations. The fallout from these tangled lives is inevitable, and when it finally erupts, it will shake Genoa City to its core.
