The Young and the Restless spoilers: Aristotle Dumas accomplishes what Victor couldn't?
For weeks now, The Young and the Restless canvas has been engulfed by the mystery of Aristotle Dumas. Every major player in Genoa City (and fans at home) has been asking the same questions. Who is the man behind Aristotle? What is Aristotle after? And will Aristotle really best The Great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)?
Hopefully, these are all questions that will be answered starting with The Young and the Restless episode airing on Friday, June 13. The date of Aristotle's highly anticipated party at his summer home in Nice, France. Given he had exclusive invites sent out to the movers and shakers of Genoa City, we assume he'll finally reveal himself on his turf and have loads of surprises in store.
Speaking of the guest list, in a big shocker, Adam (Mark Grossman) apparently wasn't invited, despite Aristotle inviting Victor, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nick (Joshua Morrow). Although Adam played it cool when talking to Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) about being snubbed, it seemed like he was slightly taken aback. However, he eventually deduced that it was best he wasn't going, as the whole party seems like an elaborate trap.
Going back to Victoria, while she initially had plans on attending the French bash, Cole's (J. Eddie Peck) health has taken a turn for the worse. In The Young and the Restless episode from June 5, Victoria shares with Nikki and Nick her concerns about Cole, who is now in the hospital.
Given Cole isn't showing signs of improving yet, Victoria tells her mom and brother that she's going to stay behind to look after him, skipping Aristotle's party. Although she's unwavering in her decision not to go to France, she's still concerned about what Aristotle is up to.
Having said all of that, we tend to agree with Adam about this shindig being a trap. We can't say for sure in what way it's a trap at this point, but him staying behind in Genoa City is a good thing. And now with Victoria also staying in town (although she may be a little occupied with Cole), Victor will have two people he trusts with his businesses in town to take care of things if something goes wrong in France.
This leads us to our point. Aristotle may launch a few attacks on the Newman family or Newman Enterprises that require Adam and Victoria to actually work together on their own accord and trust one another. Sure, Victor has tried to force his son and daughter to work together in the past and press them to trust each other, but whatever truce The Mustache creates between the siblings is usually short-lived. And while Victoria, as co-CEO of Newman Enterprises, is technically Adam's boss (as he's the CEO of Newman Media), the two haven't really been seen interacting that much, and Victor has been around as a buffer.
If Aristotle pulls a stunt at his party that demands an immediate response from the Newmans, it looks like Adam and Victoria may have to join forces to put a stop to it. Even if Aristotle takes a step toward gaining control of Chancellor, Victoria and Adam will have to team up to protect Victor's empire. Heck, with Claire (Hayley Erin) in town, she'll also need to pitch in to help protect Chancellor.
We'll say this, we hope our theory here rings true, as we'd like to see Victoria and Adam really bond, even if the bond is created in corporate battle. We're tired of the two having this hate/hate relationship. Add some love to the mix. Heck, Adam has seemingly changed over the last year. And if these two start over in their sibling relationship, let bygones be bygones and actually become friendly after an Aristotle crisis, that's something Victor has failed to accomplish.
New episodes of air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day.

Anya Taylor-Joy Triples Up on Summer Scarves
This summer, it's all about the scarf. Scratch that: scarves. More scarves, the better! Just ask Anya Taylor-Joy. According to the most stylish celebrities, the breakout trend of the season has revolved around decking yourself out in multiple silk foulards; stars have creatively wrapped themselves in a variety of eye-catching styles, be it as a skirt, or an Old Hollywood-style headscarf. You get bonus points if said scarf is in an elegant floral print or graphic pattern too, injecting your look with instant pizazz. Or, if you are Taylor-Joy, you get extra bonus points for pulling off wearing three scarves at once. This weekend, the actor was spotted in Budapest attending the Hungarian Grand Prix, and she proved herself a fan of the scarf dressing trend already enjoyed by Kylie Jenner and Alexa Chung—by piling on the accessory in three ways in one idyllic summer outfit. First, she tied a striped green scarf around her head, further leaning into the retro-chic vibe with a pair of black Dior cat eye sunglasses. (As expected of a house ambassador). Then, around her shoulders, she sported a butter yellow pashmina worn like a shawl, styling it with more minimal pieces like a white tank, cropped bermuda shorts, and chic Mary Jane flats.

Swatch Just Released a Teaser for a New Snoopy MoonSwatch
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." It's been a full four months since we got our last new Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch, the Mission to the Pink Moonphase. Surprised? Don't be. Swatch is playing the long game. The Swiss watch manufacturer understands that if you overfeed fans you also risk killing the hype (a lesson learned by companies like Marvel Studios and Nike). Still, you don't want to let the interest die out. Like everything in life, balance is paramount. And after a quarter of a year without a launch, it genuinely does feel like the right time to welcome another. In other words, we're ready to get excited again. Enter—right on time—a MoonSwatch teaser that signals a third Snoopy iteration. Despite only debuting last year, the Snoopy MoonSwatch series can be considered a true failsafe for the Omega x Swatch collaboration. Its popularity stems from a few key factors. Chief among them is the long-standing relationship between Snoopy, Omega and space—deep roots that lend genuine authenticity to this modern alliance. (You can read more about that history right here). But also, the lovable pup simply looks at home on the bioceramic variation of the planetary timepiece. On the black one, the white one, and very likely, whatever's next. We at Esquire—as well as fans on Reddit—are theorizing that the August 9 drop will be inspired by the Sturgeon Moon, the orangey-yellow full moon named after a large Jurassic fish species that is typically caught during this time. We're confident in this assumption not only because previous Omega x Swatch launches are typically themed to the lunar calendar, but also due to the short ad posted by Swatch's global Instagram profiles. Swatch, consider your clues caught. Check back on Esquire soon for more information. You Might Also Like Kid Cudi Is All Right 16 Best Shoe Organizers For Storing and Displaying Your Kicks
