Saturday’s The Young and the Restless episode airing June 28, 2025, delivers one of the most shocking turns yet in the Paris-Dumas mystery—one that leaves Amy shattered, Cane reeling, and Lily questioning everything she thought she knew. The episode opens with a somber yet determined Amy in Paris, arriving at the consulate to officially receive Damian’s body for transport back to Genoa City. As she prepares for the final steps in the repatriation process, a French official hands her a sealed envelope that was recovered from Damian’s personal belongings. Inside is a USB drive and a handwritten letter labeled simply: “For Amy. In case they silence me.”

The letter is brief but chilling. Damian writes that he no longer believes Cane is the real Aristotle Dumas and that he fears someone in Genoa City may be involved in a cover-up. On the USB drive? Photographic evidence—passport scans, surveillance photos, transaction records—all pointing toward a different man entirely as the real Dumas. Damian’s final words warn Amy not to trust anyone—not even Cane. Shaken to her core, Amy immediately books an emergency return to Genoa City.

Back home, Lily is blindsided when Amy bursts through the Ashby estate door with the news. Lily has just started to regain her emotional footing with Cane, even entertaining the idea of rebuilding their fractured relationship. But now, everything is in doubt. Amy plays the voice message Damian recorded before his death: “If you’re hearing this, it means I was right. Cane was used—maybe by Dumas, maybe by Victor, maybe even by someone closer. But he’s not the one you think.”

Cane walks in at the worst possible moment. He sees the flash drive on the table and Lily’s tear-streaked face. Instead of denial, Cane is stunned. “You think I wanted this? I was protecting you!” he insists, but Amy demands answers: “Then why did Damian die in a warehouse after meeting you?” The tension is unbearable. Lily demands the truth, and Cane finally confesses that he was working with Damian at one point—unwittingly helping him track illegal funds—but thought he was aiding a Newman investigation, not a criminal empire.

Meanwhile, back at Newman Enterprises, Victor receives word from one of his operatives in France that a man matching Dumas’s real identity was seen leaving a luxury flat near the Eiffel Tower just days ago. If this is true, then not only is Dumas alive—he’s watching. Victor orders immediate surveillance and wonders if someone close to the Newmans is a mole.

Elsewhere, Sharon spirals. Her recent breakdown continues to haunt her, and Saturday’s episode shows her making a desperate phone call to Mariah. “I can’t do this anymore,” she says quietly, alone in her living room, holding a broken picture frame of Rey. Her mental health crisis is reaching a peak—and with Nick distracted by the Dumas scandal, Sharon may slip into dangerous isolation. Viewers are left to wonder if help will reach her in time.

Adam and Chelsea, meanwhile, piece together clues of their own. Adam recognizes one of the signatures in Damian’s documents as belonging to a long-forgotten Newman subsidiary in Europe—possibly used as a laundering front. Chelsea insists they bring the information to Victor, but Adam hesitates. “What if he already knows?” he asks grimly. The question hangs ominously.

Back at the Abbott mansion, Ashley and Abby discuss the ripple effects of Damian’s death. Ashley confesses that she once encountered Dumas at a biotech conference in Switzerland years ago and always suspected he was operating under an alias. She fears the family could be implicated if business dealings tied to Dumas are exposed.

The episode’s emotional peak comes when Lily confronts Cane one-on-one at Chancellor Park. The same spot where they once shared vows now becomes a battleground for truth and betrayal. “I wanted to believe you’d changed,” Lily says, trembling. “But you were lying, even if you didn’t know it. And now Damian’s dead.” Cane pleads for her to understand, swearing he was manipulated like everyone else. But Lily walks away, leaving viewers unsure whether their story is finally over—or just entering a new chapter.

Elsewhere, Amanda questions Phyllis, suspecting she might know more about Dumas than she’s letting on. Phyllis, as usual, is evasive but intrigued. “I never trusted Damian,” she says. “Too many secrets for a man with nothing to hide.” Amanda makes a mental note—she won’t let this trail go cold.

The episode ends with a final cliffhanger: Amy returns to the Paris consulate, demanding to see the surveillance footage from the day Damian died. The clerk hesitates but gives her access. On the monitor, Amy watches in horror as Damian meets with a man in a black coat—face hidden—who hands him a red envelope. Minutes later, Damian runs out of frame, clearly in fear. The screen freezes just as the mysterious man turns slightly toward the camera—just enough to reveal a familiar cufflink.

As the screen fades to black, fans are left with questions racing through their minds:

• Is Victor hiding something?

• Can Amy trust anyone in Genoa City?

• Who killed Damian—and why?

• And most importantly: If Cane isn’t Dumas… then who is?

Saturday’s episode is a rollercoaster of betrayal, grief, and revelation, setting up a seismic storyline that will ripple through every major family in Genoa City. With secrets unraveling faster than ever, The Young and the Restless proves once again that no one stays innocent for long—and that the truth always finds its way out, no matter how deeply it’s buried.
