Jack Abbott’s Priceless Deal

Let’s start off with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) had the entire Newman family followed. That led to the team capturing Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) after Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) car crash.

Then, Jack and Kyle brought Matt to the ranch. It was proof that they really do have Matt. The Abbott family was hoping to make a deal with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden).

Victor Newman’s Betrayal

Thanks to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) interrupting the meeting, Victor likely makes the deal with Jack.

However, don’t expect Victor to honor his part of the deal. All Jack wants is for Victor to leave them alone and their company. While Victor will make this promise, he will later break it.

Nikki was close to leaving him recently, but went back. This could be too much for Nikki to take all over again, though.

Nikki Newman’s Enemy Confrontation

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the next episode reveal that Nikki will confront an enemy. With Matt in the house, Nikki will have a few choice words for the villain. However, they need to decide what to do with Matt now.

If Jack leaves Matt with Victor, how is he going to keep the man under control? Put him in a homemade prison like Victor did with Jordan (Colleen Zenk)?

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) has a bit of a surprise for Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). In a preview clip for next week, Cane stands silently as Phyllis gloats to Victor about having control of Newman Enterprises.

However, could Phyllis get blindsided at the last minute?

Holden Novak’s Dilemma

There also might be some more scenes featuring Holden Novak (Nathan Owens). While the man is getting closer to Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin), Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is making the blonde suspicious again.

Claire just doesn’t believe that Audra truly wants to coexist civilly. Will Claire continue to dig and find out what Audra and Holden’s big secret is?
