‘Y&R’ Spoilers Weekly Update Feb 16-20: Kidnapping Consequences, Gone Girl, Trading Secrets

The Young and the Restless spoilers have been released for the week of February 16, 2026. It sounds like an exciting week as one character faces criminal consequences. Another one disappears. Plus, there are Genoa City residents willing to trade secrets. Let’s get started talking about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera!

Kidnapping Consequences

Let’s start off with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). The woman was located before she could take Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) out of the country.

Dominic has been reunited with his parents. So far, it doesn’t appear that Dominic has been traumatized as he still doesn’t understand that Mariah kidnapped him.

Over with Mariah, she will be escorted to the local police station by Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). When Mariah gets booked, she will be transported back to Genoa City to face a judge.

Devon Winters’ Challenge

Back over to Devon Winters (Bryton James) and Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway), they know Mariah would never intentionally harm Dominic. At least, when she’s in her right mind.

Despite Dominic being found safe, Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton James) have a new challenge in front of them. Do they forgive Mariah and if so, how?

Meanwhile, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) will struggle between Mariah and Daniel Romalotti, Jr. (Michael Graziadei).

Nick Newman’s Addiction

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of February 16 reveal that Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) makes a bad decision. It sounds like Nick will have an addiction to deal with.

However, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) has already warned Nick about the pain pills. Then, we have Sharon in a preview clip, who spots Nick stashing something in his pocket.

Lily Winters’ Disappearance

There is also Lily Winters’  (Christel Khalil) disappearance. It seems that the fake kidnapping might have turned into a real one!

Not only is Lily seemingly in danger, but so are Mattie Ashby (Lexie Stevenson) and Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander Gerry).

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) ruins Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) plan. 

Victoria shares her plan with Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). Later, Victoria gives Billy a harsh reality check. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) tries to form an alliance with Daniel.

Also, Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) offers to trade secrets with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens). However, if Holden exposes Audra Charles’ (Zuleyka Silver), then he exposes himself as well.
