Plus, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) makes a painful decision. Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Nick Newman’s Mission

Let’s start off with Nick, who will be on a new mission despite his broken leg. The man will likely find out about Jack’s offer to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden).

Despite Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) being deadly and dangerous, Victor turned down the proposition.

Nick will end up turning to Jack for help. Even though Matt was Jack’s only bargaining chip, it’s worthless if Victor rejected it.

So, Nick will plead with Jack for his help. The last thing that Jack or Nick want is for Matt to be on the loose again.

It is also stated that Nick keeps a secret from Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). However, will Nick end up regretting that decision?

Victor Newman’s Aftermath

The Young and the Restless spoilers for next week reveal that Victor will put Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) in a tough position. A bit later, Nikki gets into a vicious argument with Victor. Could this be the beginning of the end of their marriage?

At Newman Enterprises, expect Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) to be on a joint mission. The two will work to do damage control.

Elsewhere, Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) begs for intel from Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc). Michael is just as worried, so he could agree that Victor has finally gone too far!

Noah Newman’s Disturbing Discovery

As for Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), the young man learns something about Matt. However, will this end up helping take the man down?

What Else to Expect

As for the rest of the week, Diane issues a demand to Jack. It is about Jack’s loyalty to Nikki.

Sharon counsels Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks). From a preview clip, it seems that Tessa will admit that it turns too much, regarding her relationship with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). 

Fans can also expect Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) to get the truth out of Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). However, the truth could destroy their romance, so stay tuned!
