The Young and the Restless spoilers: Amanda drops a big clue as to Aristotle's identity?
The guessing game of the true identity of The Young and the Restless' Aristotle Dumas continues, as we still have no confirmation as to who the mystery billionaire is. However, in The Young and the Restless episode airing on May 16, Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) pops back into town with some Aristotle news.
It all starts with Lily (Christel Khalil), Devon (Bryton James) and Nate (Sean Dominic) all receiving individual text messages, summoning them to attend a meeting with Aristotle Dumas at Society. When the three of them arrive, they become suspicious of why they weren't just invited via a group message, and are further wary about what is going on. Lily, in particular, notes about Aristotle's love of the dramatics, and the Winters/Hastings crew as a whole wonder if Aristotle is actually going to show to tell them what he wants.
As Lily, Devon and Nate huddle around, further discussing the matter at hand, in walks Amanda, shocking them all. They ask Amanda what she's doing back in town, and she makes it clear she's there to meet them on behalf of Aristotle and is the one who sent the text messages. After Jill (Jess Walton) sold Chancellor, Amanda was a free agent, and Dumas reached out to her with a job offer, working as his attorney. She accepted the position, and she's in Genoa City today to answer their questions about her boss.
Amanda first confirms that Aristotle is in fact, a man, and she's actually met him, unlike Damian (Jermaine Rivers). She then informs the trio that Aristotle has no interest in Winters, but has a deep admiration for the company and them individually. Interestingly enough, Amanda invokes Neil's (Kristoff St. John) name, claiming Aristotle admired him very much and believes Winters 'perfectly embodies Neil's approach to business.' Allegedly, Aristotle added that Neil would be very proud of them.
Devon and Lily naturally ask if Aristotle knew Neil, but Amanda doesn't say. Tired of the riddles, they ask Amanda point-blank, what Aristotle is after. Amanda assures them it's not Winters but Chancellor. Aristotle wasn't pleased that Victor (Eric Braeden) purchased Chancellor and ousted Billy (Jason Thompson) in the way he did. Amanda personally was upset how Lily was fired by Billy before that sale happened, commenting on Lily being a real asset to Chancellor.
When Lily, Devon and Nate go to Nate's apartment to discuss the shocking meeting with Amanda, they're all confused about what to think. They don't know if they can trust Amanda's motives, are confused about whether she knows Damian and are still suspicious of all things Aristotle.
With all that being said, we're starting to wonder more than ever if Aristotle really is Cane or Tucker. Cane, in particular, admired Neil as his father-in-law and could speak to Neil as a businessman, and likely would know what would make Neil proud.
Additionally, Cane also has always loved Lily, and it's not hard to picture him upset with the way Billy treated her at Chancellor, and how Victor subsequently played her over the company. He could be wanting to right a wrong for his ex-wife and the mother of his twin children. Although the original Cane portrayer, Daniel Goddard, is currently on General Hospital, we can't rule out him playing double duties in daytime soon. It's also possible that actor Billy Flynn is picking up the Cane mantle, given he's due to make a debut soon.
So what do you think? Is Cane Aristotle Dumas or could it be another blast from the past like Tucker, or a member of the Prentiss family?
New episodes of The Young and the Restless air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day.

‘Together' Director Explains How that Wild Final Shot Was Made (Without AI)
Ever since its debut at Sundance earlier this year, fans of horror have had Michael Shanks' new film, Together, on their radars. Neon picked it up out of the festival and, after some really creepy trailers and marketing, opened it in theaters last weekend with solid results. It's a provocative, surprising, and incredibly disgusting movie with an ending viewers will not soon forget. An ending that was achieved through traditional methods of visual effects and without a hint of per that spoiler warning above, we're about to explain what happens at the end of Together, so if you haven't seen it and want to, we urge you to look away right now. In the film Tim and Millie (Dave Franco and Alison Brie) get infected by this unexplained force that wants their bodies to become one. The how and why behind it is pretty weird, mysterious, and fun, but eventually, the couple realize the only way to defeat this force is to give in to it. And so we watch as their bodies combine from two into one, and, in the film's final shot, a completely new person, the amalgamation of both of them, opens the door to Millie's visiting parents. Speaking on Indiewire's Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast, Shanks explained that both the blending of the bodies and the new character were achieved without the use of AI. 'The amount of screenings I've gone to now, and people come up to me and say, 'Was that AI at the end?' It's just so crazy that people assume AI is now the cause. We've used absolutely none of it on this film,' Shanks said. 'As a VFX guy, as somebody that's worked with all these teams that put in so much work, it's so frustrating now that people look at something that looks interesting or good, and they [assume] just a computer made it. It's like, 'No, no, no, no, no.'' Instead, the 'Tillie' character was created using makeup and visual effects compositing by Genevieve Camilleri. 'In pre-production, Gen just went up and took photos of Dave and Alison and then in Nuke, she made a bunch of variations on which elements to take from which of their faces to figure out what is essential to seeing both of them in that final image,' Shanks said. Then, on the day, the director shot the scene with both actors. 'After we shot the scene with Alison, we moved in Dave, with a bunch of dots on his face,' he continued. 'Gen has taken his jaw and his lips and stuck that onto the bottom [of the face]. It's really a combination of makeup and, you wouldn't call it CGI, because nothing's computer-generated, but it's compositing.' Stepping back a bit from the specifics of Together, it's wild that Shanks has to defend that his film didn't use generative AI. If it had come out even just 3-4 years ago, it would not have even been a thought. We all would've just assumed it was one of them dressing up as the other or visual effects. Ultimately, it's kind of both. But the whole conversation changed when we began living in a world where you can put 'Dave Franco and Alison Brie as one person' into a program and get something back in seconds. Basically, props to Shanks for doing something right, working hard at it, and making something memorable. And boo to the world for making us forget that the real magic of filmmaking comes from the human touch. Together is now in theaters. Want more io9 news?

Where To Eat And Drink Off-Strip In Las Vegas Right Now
Michael and Jenna Morton, the Las Vegas hospitality power couple behind La Cave, Crush and One Steakhouse, have opened their first neighborhood restaurant. And what a neighborhood restaurant it is. At Morton Group's Nudo Italiano in Southern Highlands, chef William DeMarco celebrates his Long Island roots with crowd-pleasing, family-friendly Italian-American food that you want to eat again and again. The top-tier meatballs and stellar sausage pizza (with ricotta, chili flakes and the kind of crust that fights back just enough when you bite into it) are wondrous reminders of what can happen when a talented chef bets the house on red sauce. Nudo's bucatini with shrimp scampi pops with Calabrian chili and a generously correct amount of garlic. Habit-forming chicken Francese over linguine is perfectly egg-battered, strikingly lemony and delightfully buttery. For dessert, there's raspberry cheesecake 'spaghetti and meatballs' with chocolate truffle orbs and white chocolate that's grated like Parm at your table. This place is a lot of fun. In recent years, powered by chefs including James Trees of Esther's Kitchen and Brian Howard of Sparrow + Wolf, Las Vegas has seen its off-Strip dining and drinking scene get bigger and bolder. At the Town Square development, where Howard had an eclectic restaurant called Nu Sanctuary 15 years ago, you can now eat comforting Vietnamese food at a new outpost of Pho Kim Long or enjoy theatrical cocktails and chef Todd Mark Miller's contemporary steakhouse fare at the vibey new Guest House. At Town Square's new Tamba, chef Anand Singh has a live-fire kitchen with a charcoal grill, Josper oven, tandoor and wok station that he uses to make modern Indian food and a lot more. You can and should come here for juicy fire-kissed kebabs and standard-setting curries like butter chicken and achari okra dopiaza. You should pair your meal with wine, sake or Giuseppe Gonzalez's cocktails that are inspired by Indian royal history. But you should also know that Singh's life and travels have taken him to destinations including the Maldives and Mexico. So there's deeply personal all-over-the map food here, including a fierce Madras tuna laap that very much tastes like top-tier Thai street food but is an original creation all its own. Another transporting all-over-the-map destination in Las Vegas is the new Doberman Drawing Room in the Arts District, the neighborhood where Trees recently relocated Esther's Kitchen to a larger location and also opened Bar Boheme. At Doberman Drawing Room, a moody cocktail bar and members club that feels like an old mansion with curios from another era, famed mixologist Juyoung Kang is serving show-stopping drinks like the sweet, savory, spicy and creamy tom kha fizz and the Marilyn and Madness combo with two different Rosa vermouth cocktails side-by-side. (For a extra hit of cheekiness, see if you can find the photograph of Corner Bar Management boss Ryan Doherty in an antique cabinet.) You can also come here for martinis with caviar-stuffed olives and the Nine Countries cocktail that merges mezcal with yuzu kosho. Like New York's Double Chicken Please and buzzy Los Angeles newcomers Daisy Margarita Bar and Bar Benjamin, Doberman is adept at creating drinks that taste like dinner and also drinks that taste like dessert. If you want to eat here for real, tinned mussels and sea salt kettle chips with terrific sour cream and caramelized onion dip are nice ways to start. You can get caviar with your dip, too. Casual off-Strip dining is also leveling up at hot spots like the new Southwest Las Vegas outpost of Nana's Green Tea, a popular Tokyo-born cafe with beautiful matcha parfaits and soul-warming dishes like soboro don and chicken katsu curry. The cutlet game is also strong at the new Cheongdam Food Hall on Spring Mountain Road at Durango Drive, where Namsan Tonkatsu serves Korean cutlets right next to where Curry Ya serves Japanese cutlets. There's a lot to explore at this food hall including Broken Coffee (which makes lovely signature lattes like a mocha latte, an organic hojicha latte and a strawberries-and-cream latte), the buzzing Smile Shota all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, grab-and-go Korean food at Market Green Table and machines where you can make packaged ramen. As always, a lot of the fun in Vegas is about choosing your own adventure.
