Neutralizing a Threat

Let’s start off with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). The man returned from a trip out of town, but didn’t tell anyone where he went.

The man will announce to his family that they have a problem. It seems that the judge threw out the case against Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). The minute that the villain was released, he disappeared. 

Everyone knows that Matt isn’t going to hide or run. The man enjoys the hunt too much. However, the Newman family would rather be the one to find Matt rather than the villain finding them first. 

Nick Newman’s Scheme

After Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) freaks out over Matt being MIA, he comes up with a plan. The man gets a little help from Sharon Newman (Sharon Case).

It’s not clear what this plan is, but SHICK better be careful. At the same time, I understand that they are just sick of dealing with the threat. Much like Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) on Days of Our Lives. 

It is stated that Nick and Sharon manage to turn the tables on Matt. 

Devon Winters & Nate Hastings’ Intel

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, February 25 reveal that Devon Winters (Christel Khalil) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) are worried about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), Mattie Ashby (Lexie Stevenson), and Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander Gerry). 

They are right to be concerned. I don’t care what Victor says, nobody has heard from Lily and the kids. They really could be in danger and if they were, would Victor even admit it?

I think the only thing Victor cares about is his empire, and there could be consequences for that.

Cane Ashby Accountable

As for Devon and Nate’s next move, they decide to hold someone accountable. It’s not Victor, though. Devon confronts Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).

Right now, Cane doesn’t have control of the company. Devon won’t care and will remind Cane that he set all this in motion to begin with in Nice.

While Cane is pretty powerless right now, could he manage to get the empire back? Could Cane play dirty and give Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) a taste of her own medicine?
