Sally Holds the Power to Take Cane Down After Billy's Bold Move on Y&R August 13
In the August 13 episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy made a potentially game-changing decision. In a decisive moment, he handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally, which gives her the means to hit Cane where it hurts most. Will she be up to wielding that much power against such a formidable adversary? Billy Hands Over Abbott Communications Billy (Jason Thompson) made a decisive move that could shift the power dynamics in Genoa City's corporate battles. He handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally (Courtney Hope). The handoff wasn't hesitant—Billy gave her his full support to lead the media company her way. This wasn't simply about delegation. By putting Sally in charge, Billy placed her in a prime position to use the company's influence in the brewing war with Cane (Daniel Goddard). MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. A Strategic Weapon Against Cane Cane has been maneuvering to expand his reach, building alliances, and keeping his next move under wraps. But Abbott Communications could be a potent weapon, and Sally holds the trigger. Sally now has access to a corporate platform capable of shaping public perception, directing media narratives, and leveraging business connections that could directly impact Cane's ability to operate in Genoa City. Her leadership at Abbott Communications could turn the company into a precision tool aimed squarely at dismantling his plans. High Stakes for Everyone Involved The move comes with risk. Billy knows Cane's ambitions could threaten both Jabot and Chancellor, and his family might see his maneuver as dangerous. But in his view, positioning Sally where she can counter Cane is worth the gamble. Sally, never one to shy away from high-pressure opportunities, is now able to affect Cane's fate. She could choose to use her leverage for maximum damage, or she might keep her powder dry and negotiate for strategic advantage. What Happens Next? The big unknown is how Sally will choose to play this. A fast, aggressive move could destabilize Cane quickly, but it also risks drawing counterattacks from a man known for making bold plays of his own. A slower, more strategic approach could allow her to tighten the pressure until Cane has no room to maneuver. Plus, there's a chance Cane will underestimate Sally since she's relatively unknown in the business world. Either way, Billy's bold handoff has set the stage for a high-stakes showdown—and Sally's next decision could change everything. WATCH THIS: Soap Hub Says discusses the latest soap drama.

Retriever Meets 'Girlfriend' During Walk, Internet Obsessed With Greeting
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video capturing a sweet moment between two canine companions has taken TikTok by storm. The clip, shared by a golden retriever's owner to the account @walkswithgarth, shows her dog excitedly walking up to a stone wall, where his "girlfriend" is waiting. The other canine, also a golden retriever, leans over the wall to greet him with a happy wag and a gentle nose boop—a daily greeting that has been viewed thousands of times. Since the video was posted, it has received over 191,000 views. "My golden retriever has a girlfriend on our street who greets him at the wall whenever they see each other," the creator wrote in the caption. "My dog is honestly the cutest little soul." Canine Love Stories The viral post quickly drew in a flood of comments from users who were captivated by the dogs' special bond. Many viewers joked about the couple's future, with one commenter asking: "When is the wedding? And may I ask will there be puppies? Too cute … way too cute." Another user suggested taking the dogs' relationship to the next level: "You need to knock on their door and ask for a first date for them and please post," they wrote. The love story also inspired others to share similar tales of their own pets' romantic lives. One person recalled their father's cat, a typically "very anti-social cat," who had a British shorthair-calico mix girlfriend. "One time I've seen her without her seeing me through the glass door and she came to pick him up to play—he ran full speed downstairs through the basement window to meet with her," the user posted. "That one girl had his heart." Another's Labrador retriever was so eager to see his "girlfriend called Sally" that he "literally dragged me on black ice for half a mile to find her."

One commenter noticed how the golden retriever hangs over the wall to wait for him. "How inspiring," they wrote. "Hope we all could get such unconditional love." In the comments, the creator shared that she hopes the dogs can meet soon—without the wall. She said she posted the video in a neighborhood Facebook group, hoping to facilitate the meeting with the other pup's owner. The creator said she wishes that the two can become "lifelong playmates" as the "Romeo and Juliet of the doggy world." Newsweek reached out to @walkswithgarth for comment via TikTok.
