By Amandah HancenOn Jan 21, 2026

The Young and the Restless spoilers are in for Thursday, January 22, 2026. In tomorrow’s episode, fans can expect Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) to attack.

Meanwhile, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) finds Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) in a compromising position.

Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY Y&R spoilers, here!)

Nick Newman’s Big Secret

Let’s start off with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow). Fans know that the man is in a lot of pain and should be in the hospital.

Instead, he insists on being there to help deal with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). When Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) isn’t looking, the man has been taking handfuls of pain pills.

Now that Nick is outside on the porch, he found fentanyl in his pocket. If Nick ends up taking those pills, we could see a very dark and destructive personality emerge. Of course, Sharon will be clueless, at least for the time being.

Victoria Newman Attacks

Over at Cane’s train, Victoria interrupts the tycoon’s chat with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). The brunette makes it clear that they will get Newman Enterprises over her dead body.

However, Phyllis and Cane will insist that there is nothing they can do about it and that the ball is already rolling.

Victoria ends up striking Cane where it hurts. Fans know that the one thing that can get to Cane is Lily Winters (Christel Khalil).

I could see Victoria calling or video chatting Lily to tell her what Cane has done now! Victoria might even suggest a radical plan to Lily, but it requires her full cooperation.

Nikki Newman’s Frantic Panic

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the next episode reveal that Nikki will be in a comforting embrace with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).

While Jack was just reassuring his friend, Victor will see it as something entirely different! For Victor, this will just be another sin to add to Jack’s list. It will also be another reason for Victor to question Nikki’s loyalty.

Victor Newman’s Fury

Even though Victor will likely let Jack leave the mansion, the patriarch could get into another wicked fight with his wife. As if Victor doesn’t have enough to deal with already.

However, we also know that Victor and Jack have some sort of alliance in the future. That sounds like the drama with Cane and Phyllis isn’t over just yet!
