Y&R Spoilers: Not Again, Nikki!! A Shocking Betrayal That Could Cost Victor Everything
Much as we love us some Nikki Newman, we have to wonder if the blonde beauty is a bit of a masochist. How else to explain that she’s once again butting heads with her stubborn husband about the family business? Surely she knows that where Victor is concerned, it’s his way or the highway.
(If she needs a reminder, here’s a literal recap of how their last big fight went!) Meanwhile, Nick proves himself to be a Newman through and through when he decides the only way to handle a situation is by taking it into his own hands. Because why seek help when you can face a dangerous situation on your own?
Sigh. Victor would be so proud. As for Sharon, she’s got her hands full trying to help Tessa sort out her feelings for Mariah and Daniel. (Of course, given some of Sharon’s past decisions — like marrying Victor… twice! — Tessa might wanna seek out another sounding board!
Victor Newman’s Setback
Despite the dismal circumstances, Victor will refuse to negotiate with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).
The redhead will be eager to brag about her win in Victor’s face. While Phyllis and Cane have won for now, Victor will do whatever is necessary to get Newman Enterprises back. That’s his family’s legacy!

Nikki Newman’s Rage
Later, Victor will report updates to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). However, she will reason that this never would have happened in the first place if Victor hadn’t been playing God with people’s businesses.
Nikki’s number one priority is keeping her family safe. However, she has to question Victor’s recent decisions.
Sharon Newman Counsels
The Young and the Restless spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) will stop by to talk to Sharon.
The brunette will update the blonde on what’s going on with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). Tessa will then confess that this is just getting too hard.
While Sharon adores Tessa, she will understand that Mariah’s actions have pushed the redhead away.
Sharon might also understand that Tessa needs support right now, and is getting that from Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Grazaidei). A bit later, Sharon could start to search for Mariah herself.
After Tessa leaves, she might update Daniel on her chat with Sharon.
Nick Newman’s Extreme Move
As for Nick, he decides to make an extreme move. Nick will find out that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) made a deal with Victor regarding Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Nick will be furious that Matt could be behind bars right now if Victor hadn’t blown it.
Nick will want to talk to Jack himself and try to make his own deal. Nick will beg Jack not to let Matt loose again. Jack’s priority is protecting Jabot. That could compel Nick to make a deal with Jack, but it would be a betrayal to his own father.
Nick has usually been the loyal and faithful son, so this twist could be interesting and force the whole family to pick sides!
