Michael Baldwin Grilled

Let’s start off with Michael, who gets grilled in tomorrow’s episode. Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) had previously asked Michael for anything that could help them protect Jabot.

After the latest bombshell from Jack about Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Diane turns to her old friend once again.

Even if Michael doesn’t say anything, Diane already knows that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) are responsible. However, Michael could remind Diane that Victor never stays defeated or down for long.

Noah Newman’s Shocking Discovery

As for Noah, he will learn some shocking information about Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Right now, Matt is still being held by Jack’s security team.

Jack said if Victor didn’t make a deal, he would let the villain loose. Of course, that would come with moral complications.

Noah won’t understand why Victor didn’t jump at the opportunity to protect his family. So, this could cause even more issues between the patriarch and his family.

Nick Newman’s Desperate Deal

The Young and the Restless spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) went to update Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

Of course, Nick has assumed his father made the deal with Jack. When Adam told him that Victor never got the chance, Nick left the hospital.

Nick will meet with Jack and urge him to do the right thing. While Jack is a decent and moral man, his number one priority is to his own family. Plus, Nick doesn’t really have anything to bargain with. Just saying he’ll talk to Victor isn’t good enough.

Jack Abbott’s Proposition

It was hinted that we could be seeing a surprising alliance between Jack and Victor. If Matt somehow gets away, then both the Abbotts and Newman families could be in grave danger!

There is also Cane and Phyllis’ role in this Matt situation. They just had to strike at the worst time possible. So, what does this mean for Matt as well as Noah and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun)?
