Colin admits he is Dumas – making a deal that Victor must die to keep everyone safe CBS Y&R Spoilers

CBS The Young and the Restless Exclusive Recap: Colin Is Alive — and Cain Was Dumas All Along. Victor Must Fall… or Forgive?

In a jaw-dropping twist that has Genoa City spinning, Colin Atkinson has returned from the dead — and with him, a revelation that threatens to dismantle the world as Victor Newman knows it. For fans of The Young and the Restless, episode (102) is not just a shock — it’s a reckoning.

🕵️ The Mask of Dumas: Cain’s Dark Secret

For months, whispers circulated about the mysterious mogul “Aristotle Dumas” — the ruthless architect behind high-stakes acquisitions and corporate power plays. But now, the mask has fallen: Cain Ashby was never the mastermind. He was the mouthpiece. The true force behind Dumas Holdings? Colin Atkinson — his presumed-dead father.

Colin faked his death and vanished into the shadows of Paris, where he rebuilt himself not as a con man, but a king in exile. From the depths of betrayal and financial ruin orchestrated — he claims — by none other than Victor Newman, Colin forged a silent empire. And now, he’s returned not to reclaim a name, but to erase Victor’s.

🧨 “I Want Him to See Me”

In a chilling confrontation beneath the Paris Opera House, Colin revealed everything: Victor sabotaged his family’s fortune, framed him, and left him to die. But Colin lived. And now, with Cain by his side — albeit reluctantly — he’s ready to exact vengeance.

“When Victor looks into your eyes,” Colin growled to his son, “I want him to see me.”

Victor’s response? A shock to all: he fell to his knees.

Not as a tactic. Not for sympathy. But with the weight of every war, betrayal, and decision he’s ever made. “I lit this fire,” Victor admitted. “And I never looked back.”

🩸 War or Warning?

Colin was ready to strike. Cain stood between love and legacy. And Victor, for the first time, asked not for mercy, but for peace.

“Come for me,” Victor said, “but leave them out of it.”

In a move that stunned even Colin’s closest allies, the hostages were released. The attack was postponed. But make no mistake: the war isn’t over — it’s paused.

💼 A New Deal for a New Beginning?

Back in Paris, Cain made a bold offer to Victor: dismantle Dumas, walk away from the shadows, and in return… let him buy Chancellor Industries.

Victor’s response? Cold, clear, and final:

“You don’t trade symbols. You protect them.”

Cain, grappling with grief over Colin’s true death six months earlier, confessed it was never about conquest — it was about closure. “He gave me guilt, dressed as success,” Cain whispered. “But I turned it into something human.”

👑 The Final Shift

As Cain walked away — not defeated, but transformed — Victor remained behind, victorious yet vulnerable. Cain was no longer a threat. He was a mirror. A reminder that power fades, but legacy remains.

“Even kings,” the voiceover muses, “must one day return to dust.”

🧭 What’s Next for Y&R?

Will Colin strike again? Will Victor’s quiet collapse spark a new beginning… or open the door to more enemies? Will Cain truly walk away from the empire built in shadows? And will Chancellor remain Newman-guarded — or be the next battlefield?

💥 One thing’s clear: The Young and the Restless just rewrote its rules of war.

🗣️ Your Turn:

• Should Victor forgive or fight?

• Is Cain a villain, a victim — or the future of Genoa City?
