The Young and the Restless' Aristotle Dumas finally revealed

After a six-month wait, fans of The Young and the Restless — and the residents of Genoa City — are finally going to meet the infamous, uber-mysterious, Aristotle Dumas.

Next week, the identity of Aristotle Dumas will finally be revealed to all. While we have to wait until Friday, June 20th for the business elite of Genoa City to meet their host in Nice, France, we’ve got some behind-the-scenes looks at what’s to come — and a surprise!

Also next week, Billy Flynn (Chad, Days of our Lives) joins the cast of The Young and the Restless. Is he Aristotle, and if so, how? Most are betting that he is the new Cane Ashby — Lily’s ex-husband. But not only will Aristotle reveal himself to all on Friday, the Genoa City-ites at his summer home will also find out how Amanda (Mishael Morgan) is actually connected.

When the guests arrive, it's not their typical type of host, so it's not a typical arrival, either. After flying in and then taking a train to Aristotle Dumas' estate in the French Riviera, the guests are greeted by Carter (Vincent Stalba). To their surprise (and annoyance), to get any further, they have to enter a maze, or as Carter calls it, their "first challenge."

At the center of the maze, a buffet awaits. Who will make it there first, and by then, are they even comfortable eating? The mysterious billionaire has some mysterious ways...

After they eat, do they need to find their way through the maze again, or will their host lead them?

Inside the estate, the guests have rooms...but the rooms have eyes. In particular, someone watches Lily.
