Y&R Spoilers: Cole admits to being Dumas – locking Victoria up and revealing the cruel plan CBS
Y&R Spoilers: The Enemy Within—Cole is Damas, Victoria is Captive, and Victor is One Step Ahead
GENOA CITY – The chilling truth has finally been revealed in the damp, cold confines of a secret bunker, and the fallout promises to shatter the very foundation of the Newman family.
Victoria Newman, captive and betrayed, has come face-to-face with the man behind the shadowy moniker “Damas,” the elusive figure orchestrating a campaign of sabotage and surveillance against her family. In a stunning twist, that man is none other than the man she once loved, Cole Howard.
Victoria’s nightmare began as she awoke, bound to a chair, with Cole and a complicit Clare Grace watching over her. It was there that Cole delivered the devastating confession, admitting he was the mastermind she’d been hunting. His justification? A lifetime of pain and humiliation at the hands of Victor Newman.
“I’ve been wronged,” he stated, his voice a chilling mix of regret and resolve. “Used, discarded, humiliated by people you still protect, Victor above all.” He claimed his love for Victoria was real but that she was a necessary pawn—his “way in” to get close to the Newmans and execute his revenge.
The confession tore through Victoria, whose shock quickly turned to fury and heartbreak. “I loved you,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face. “You have hurt me more than anyone else ever could.”
Cole’s attempts to soothe her, including the revelation that he had an “escape plan” for her, only deepened the wound, proving his deception was calculated from the very beginning. With Clare confirming they couldn’t let her go, Victoria now understands her life is a bargaining chip in a war she never knew was being waged.
Meanwhile, as Victoria faces her captors, the cogs of Cole’s grand machine are already beginning to grind. From his high-tech command center, he watched a lavish party at the Newman estate—a stage he set for Clare to extract information—begin to fail.
Guests grew bored and suspicious, threatening to leave and unraveling his carefully laid trap. His operative, Cain, scrambled to keep the elite guests in place with promises of wealth and power, while Clare’s attempts to probe Kyle and Holden for information only raised more red flags.
But Cole’s greatest oversight wasn’t the faltering party; it was underestimating Victor Newman himself. While Cole fumed over his fraying plan, Victor was already moving pieces on his own board.
Acting on a tip, he descended into his private archives and uncovered the smoking gun: a hidden USB drive. On it were the schematics for Cole’s bunker, supply shipments, and surveillance data—all the proof he needed.
Armed with the terrifying truth, Victor returned to the party, his expression an unreadable mask of calm. He now knows the enemy isn’t just at the gates; he’s been welcomed into his home.
As he watches Clare work the room, unaware that her cover is blown, the stage is set for an epic confrontation. Cole believes he is in control, but Victor holds the ultimate advantage: knowledge. The war for Genoa City has begun, and the first casualties have already been taken.
