The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the next two weeks, December 16 to December 27, reveal that Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Ian Ward (Ray Wise) will disagree about their next steps.

Ian will be thrilled over the idea of using Claire Newman’s (Hayley Erin) friendship with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) to their advantage, but Jordan won’t be as enthused during the week of December 16-20.

Nevertheless, Ian will win this argument and decide to put his new plan in motion right away.

Tessa has no clue what Ian looks like, so he’ll strike up a friendly bond with her soon enough and lure her into a trap.

Meanwhile, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) will let Alan Laurent (Christopher Cousins) hypnotize her, so that’ll bring some shocking revelations.

Sharon will soon remember that she wasn’t the one who caused Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) crash, so that’ll be a relief.

However, an even bigger relief may come later since Alan will take Sharon back to the night Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) drew her last breath.

Vail Bloom will make another appearance as Heather just in time for Sharon to get to the bottom of this blackout.

After Sharon recalls something huge, she’ll mull over a jaw-dropping discovery with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) – one that leaves him terrified about her safety.

Sharon might realize someone far more sinister slipped in and took Heather out that night.

Nick may fear that if they can’t crack this case, Sharon will continue to be targeted and could face the same fate as Heather.

Ian will indeed want Jordan to end Sharon’s life, so he’ll push her to do something that’s both dirty and dangerous.

Over with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), he’ll try to convince Phyllis to stick with their vengeful alliance, but she’ll worry about the turmoil going up against Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) could cause for her children.

Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) will continue to warn against Billy’s revenge plot before turning his attention to Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) and some holiday memories.

Despite all the warnings, Billy will assure Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) that he’s going to pull off a win against Victor.

There’ll be some surprise ally that Billy thinks will be a game-changer, so he’ll give Sally some important updates.

While Diane tries to prove she belongs in the Abbott family business, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will show Claire the ropes at Chancellor and make predictions about her bright future.

It turns out Nikki will have some guidance for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) as well, so this may involve Victoria’s concerns about Claire.

Nikki may think Victoria is a bit on the overprotective side and urge her to give Claire a chance to truly spread her wings.

Unfortunately, that may be bad advice since Jordan is lurking and will ultimately target Claire with Ian’s help.

Back with Diane, she’ll get some support from someone unexpected.

Perhaps it’ll be Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) who softens toward Diane and shares some good ideas for Jabot Classic.

Elsewhere, Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) will plaster on a smile for Lucy Romalotti’s (Lily Brooks O’Briant) sake and perhaps pretend to get in the Christmas spirit.

Sadly, Daniel will still be struggling with the loss of Heather, so Lucy may see through his fake holiday cheer.

At Crimson Lights, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford) will meet with Denise Tolliver (Telma Hopkins), the private investigator who was hired to look for Damian.

Denise will reveal good news after tracking Damian down, but she’ll leave the ball in Amy and Nate’s court on how they want to proceed.

Nate and Amy will have to nail down the best way to approach his half-brother with all the shockers they’re about to unleash.

Back with Phyllis, Y&R spoilers say she’ll shift gears when it comes to her payback plan.

Phyllis will still want Sharon to suffer for what she’s done, but she won’t have all the facts.

During the week of December 23-27, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) will snap at Phyllis and continue to defend Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) for doing his job.

When Lauren admits there are details Phyllis isn’t in the loop on, Phyllis will push for answers about what she’s missing.

Will Michael admit the new hypnosis info or stay tight-lipped since Sharon’s defense has to be the priority?

Regardless, Sharon will have a merry Christmas celebration at the cottage with her family, but Ian and Jordan are about to unleash soon enough!

The Young and the Restless spoilers say there’ll be some holiday gatherings happening at the Newman ranch and Society too, so stay tuned for some fun scenes.
