What Happened On Young and the Restless Today? Michael Quits Victor—for Real This Time
On the May 23 episode of The Young and the Restless, Michael faces off with Victor, Kyle plays with fire, and Diane and Jack make big plans.
At the Abbott house, Diane (Susan Walters) showed Jack (Peter Bergman) some travel plans for their long-overdue honeymoon. Jack loved everything she picked and was thrilled by the idea of whisking her away.
At the office, Kyle (Michael Mealor) was more distracted by a gift basket of sweets from Claire (Hayley Erin) than his parents' plans. When Diane stopped by, she mentioned their trip could stretch to a month. Kyle assured her he could hold down the fort at Jabot, but Diane worried that his obsession with Audra (Zuleyka Silver) might become a bigger issue than business.
Diane could see that Claire wasn't comfortable with Kyle's scheming, and Kyle didn't deny it. He admitted that the more he thinks about Victor (Eric Braeden) and Audra, the more it eats away at him.
Kyle said he struggled to be the man Claire believed he could be. Diane urged him not to become like Victor and reminded him of how far Claire had come. They shared a touching moment before Kyle got a text from Audra asking to meet. He told his mom he planned to surprise her with a counterattack. Diane wasn't thrilled but warned him to be careful.

Meanwhile, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) showed off her new locket to Lauren (Tracey Bregman) at the GCAC and revealed it was just the beginning of her birthday celebrations.
Lauren shared that Michael (Christian Le Blanc)had finally told Victor he was done. When Jack joined them, they all agreed Victor wouldn't take the news well. Lauren warned she'd kill Victor if he dragged Michael back in, and Nikki noted no other lawyer could rein him in.
Over at the new ranch, Michael broke the news to Victor. He explained it was time to put Lauren first. Victor said he understood…until he didn't.
Victor refused to accept Michael's resignation, insisted Michael would always come back, and tried to strong-arm him into staying. Michael stayed firm, said goodbye, and left. When Nikki walked in, Victor fumed and forbade her from ever mentioning Michael again.
Back at home, Jack filled Diane in and promised that if Victor brought the fight to them, they'd hit back hard.
At the jazz lounge, Michael met Lauren and told her he'd done it. She promised to stand by him and make sure he never regretted it.

ED Work Environment Discord Affects Patient Outcomes
In a recent study, emergency nurses and physicians in approximately half of the study hospitals disagreed on the quality of the work environment. An environment rated "unfavorable" by both groups was significantly associated with worse clinician and patient outcomes. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional analysis included emergency department (ED) clinicians (1190 nurses and 414 physicians) from 47 Magnet hospitals who completed the 2021 US Clinician Wellbeing Study. Researchers classified hospitals into profiles according to the level of agreement between nurses and physicians regarding the hospital work environment. Researchers assessed clinician job outcomes (burnout, job dissatisfaction, and intent to leave), patient safety, and quality-of-care metrics. TAKEAWAY: Hospital profiles revealed three distinct patterns: "Agree, Unfavorable Environment" (10 hospitals); "Agree, Favorable Environment" (15 hospitals); and "Disagree, Less Favorable Environment Among Nurses" (22 hospitals). Compared with hospitals where clinicians agreed on a favorable environment, hospitals where clinicians agreed on an unfavorable environment had significantly higher rates of burnout (β, 25.8), job dissatisfaction (β, 32.5), intent to leave (β, 31.7), and unfavorable patient safety grades (β, 29.1), after adjustment for hospital characteristics ( P < .001 for all). < .001 for all). Hospitals where nurses rated the environment less favorably than physicians demonstrated increased burnout (β, 15.4; P < .001) and poorer patient safety grades (β, 11.9; P < .01), after adjustment for hospital characteristics. < .001) and poorer patient safety grades (β, 11.9; < .01), after adjustment for hospital characteristics. Compared with physicians in hospitals with an "Agree, Favorable" profile, those in hospitals rated as having an "Unfavorable" work environment showed significantly higher rates for all outcomes except burnout and patient-care quality. Similarly, nurses in hospitals with a "Disagree, Less Favorable Among Nurses" profile experienced higher rates across all job-related and patient-care outcomes. IN PRACTICE: "This cross-sectional study found that ED nurses and physicians in close to half of study hospitals disagreed on the quality of their work environment. Clinician job and patient outcomes were worse when both clinicians rated their work environment unfavorably and when nurses only reported their work environments as unfavorable," the authors wrote. "The implication of these findings is that, if two essential partners in emergency care within the same institution do not agree on the deficiencies in ED work environments, significant interdisciplinary research is needed to bridge these gaps and disparate experiences," they added. SOURCE: The study was led by Jane Muir, Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. It was published online on May 16, 2025, in BMC Health Services Research . LIMITATIONS: The study included only Magnet hospitals, which are known for favorable work environments and good physician-nurse collaboration, suggesting the findings may have underestimated the variation in clinician work environment agreement across all hospitals. The cross-sectional design prevented causal inference, and the sample had more nurses than physicians. DISCLOSURES: The research was funded by the Clinician Well-being Study Consortium and the National Institutes of Health. Additionally, it was supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Institute of Nursing Research, the National Clinician Scholars Program, and the Emergency Medicine Foundation/Emergency Nurses Association Foundation. The authors reported having no relevant conflicts of interest.
