Meanwhile, Sharon and Nick follow a risky lead that pushes Adam to revisit a chapter of his life he tried hard to bury.
And as tensions mount about Jack’s fate, Diane and Phyllis could be set for another fiery showdown.
Here’s a closer look at what fans can expect from Wednesday’s episode.
Nikki Learns Victor’s Shocking Secret
The mystery surrounding Jack Abbott continues to send shockwaves through Genoa City.
For days, Jack’s loved ones have been desperate for answers. Slowly, Nikki Newman begins putting the pieces together with help from Phyllis Summers.
What Nikki finds is nothing short of shocking.
She pieces together that Jack’s disappearance is secret code for Victor Newman – and that he’s using it in service of a far more elaborate plan.
Nikki is furious that Victor got Jack involved in one of his dangerous power plays. Look for sparks to fly as she faces off with Victor, because she absolutely will not keep quiet about how far he has gone this time.
And given that this is Victor, he’s not going to be an easy man to apologize.
Victor Pushes a Dangerous Deal
Even as Nikki fumes, Victor has his eye on a larger prize.
Having Jack in his corner, he feels, still gives him leverage – particularly when it comes time to negotiate with Phyllis.
Victor might try to work out a deal that sounds fair at first. He could drop in returning Lily Winters and the twins as part of a complicated agreement involving Chancellor.
But the discussion might take a surprising direction.
Victor could demand control of Newman Enterprises as payment for Jack’s freedom.
Such an insistence would be thunderous – and it could end the negotiation right then and there. It also poses a larger question: How far is Victor willing to go to win?
Diane Turns Against Phyllis
As Victor pushes his agenda, tensions erupt elsewhere.
Diane Jenkins Abbott could start pointing the finger at Phyllis if Victor’s dealings go south or cause Jack even more trouble.
Business women and always was fiercely protective of Jack and the Abbott family. She will absolutely call out Phyllis if she thinks that Phyllis is making reckless decisions.
That stand-off could quickly escalate into a fiery confrontation between two of Genoa City’s most famous enemies.
When Jack’s safety is on the line, neither woman is likely to budge.
Adam Has To Revisit His “Spider” Past
Yes, over on “The Young and the Restless,” Sharon Newman and Nick Newman continue investigating Matt Clark’s nefarious deeds.
But when Sienna Bacall stumbles over a clue linking it all back to the only name they have, the mysterious word: Riza.
The name itself is a direct callback to Adam Newman’s past — his history as Spider in Las Vegas specifically — so the minute Sharon hears it she instantly flashes back.
When Sharon and Nick realize that Adam might hold the key to piecing together a timeline of events, they enlist his help.
Adam is not keen on going back to that chapter of his life, but he might be the only one who can help find Riza — and possibly lead them right to Matt Clark.
A New Lead Might Finally Direct to Jack
But as the search deepens, a new hint might finally surface.
Data associated with Kenosha appears, indicating that Jack may be near there. The lead could even help direct investigators to a nearby marina tied to the scenario.
If the tip’s details prove reliable, Jack’s loved ones may be one step closer to finding him.
Sadly, Jack is still stuck with the volatile Patty Williams who only makes everything more perilous.
Jack is holding it together in the tense situation, but with Patty around, everything could go south quickly.
The Young and the Restless airs new episodes weekdays on CBS, with streaming options available through Paramount+.
