The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Aristotle Dumas’ (potentially played by Billy Flynn) invitation is a lure.

The yet-to-be-revealed new character wants Genoa City, Wisconsin’s finest to travel to Nice, France, where a mystery gathering will take place on June 13.

The notion of Friday the 13th being an unlucky day has historical roots, including the Last Supper, which took place more than 2,000 years ago, the arrest of members of the Knights Templar in the early 1300s, and various other events in world history that have occurred.

On the other side of the screen, meaning in this soapy reality, Aristotle has been planning what indeed seems like some form of attack. However, who he’s targeting and which businesses might be affected remain to be seen, making the developing storyline intriguing.

Aristotle Dumas Plays Off Triskaidekaphobia

Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. As is valid with any subjective topic, it’s hard, if not impossible, to prove that this number is or isn’t fateful.

Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) worked for Aristotle, building a new life for himself after his assumed father died.

While never meeting Aristotle, the position he held in Los Angeles, California, had him become the first known person in GC to be connected to this proposed business titan.

Amanda Sinclair’s (Mishael Morgan) surprise return revealed that she had become Aristotle’s chosen attorney, tasked with calming the Winters family. His intention, despite Amanda’s connections, failed.

Mind games, with cloaked introductions and cryptic messages, are coupled with Aristotle’s use of Friday the thirteenth. He wants to project a Wizard of Oz demeanor for reasons that aren’t yet clear.

Victorious New Man Rules Genoa City

Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) chooses to believe what he wants to believe because of his life’s experiences.

As he’s often recalled, Christian Miller, his birth name, was placed in an orphanage with his brother at a young age. But time passed, and Christian made himself into a new man, with the origin story of Newman explained.

Victor stands for victorious as he transformed into the victorious new man he’d envisioned.

However, Braeden’s character recently informed his now-former consigliere that Aristotle poses a threat to the Newman Enterprises empire, explicitly referring to Chancellor.

However, Chancellor might be the opening salvo, with Victor’s entire conglomerate being the ultimate hostile takeover target.

Spring Slams Into Summer Hard

It’s been an interesting spring in GC. Victor didn’t anticipate Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc) quitting, but he did. The timing of that event caused Victor to choose to believe that the Abbott family persuaded Michael.

But Michael isn’t betraying Victor. Instead, he’s following his loving wife’s wishes as many men do, so they can remain happily married.

Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey Bregman), like the birthday celebrant, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), has also followed her loving husband’s wishes to remain happily married through the years.

Lauren’s stand had to be taken. Nikki agreed, while knowing that getting along with Victor means accepting his quirks, which puts his personality type in the most generous light.

So, many of the main GC participants are being asked to gather in France as spring prepares to slam into what should be a very soapy summer. The immediate fates of some, potentially even including the great and powerful Victor Newman, will soon be known.
