Phyllis Summers Cornered

Let’s start off with Christine and Phyllis. The blonde received intel from Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).

While it implicates Phyllis, Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn), and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), fans know the evidence is fabricated. 

Christine will back Phyllis into a corner. So, it sounds like Phyllis  might be forced to make a confession.

Perhaps that is what leads up to Cane being handcuffed in the preview clip for this week.

It’s very possible that Christine makes Phyllis some sort of offer.

Sienna Bacall’s Past

As for Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), she doesn’t believe Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is dead.

However, her questioning of Sienna hasn’t helped clear anything up.

Fans know that Sienna let Matt go alive, but the reasoning isn’t clear. 

Sienna was clearly hoping that she would never have to worry about Matt again.

However, fans know from the weekly preview clip that he didn’t go too far.

In the meantime, Sharon will question Sienna about her past.

Sharon will likely try to get to the Matt truth by picking apart the former couple’s past.

Nikki Newman’s Discovery

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Tuesday, March 5 reveal that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will find out about Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) addiction.

Nick is already going to get treatment.

However, he will need the support of his family. 

Nikki went through addictions and relapses herself.

So, she could be a great cheerleader for Nick. 

Victor Newman’s Marriage

As for Nikki and Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) marriage, they will have an opportunity to reconcile.

However, things don’t go smoothly and they stay angry at each other.

All Nikki wants is for Victor to admit that he went too far.

However, the man thinks he can do whatever he wants without consequence. 

Without Nikki to anchor him and Victoria doing all the wrong things, Victor could go even further in his quest to get what he wants.

What does that mean for Victor and Nikki’s futures?

Which storyline are you looking forward to seeing the most?
