Next Week On The Young and the Restless

At the end of Friday’s episode, Victor (Eric Braeden) walked in on Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle), and Claire (Hayley Erin) huddled up. The women agreed to keep their schemes to themselves so they didn’t fess up to the fact that they were talking about Jordan (Colleen Zenk). Yet next week, Victor is (understandably) suspicious of Nikki’s actions. He likes to be Mr. Protector, so who knows what he’ll do about his concerns.

Clearly, he does something because, by the end of the week, he doesn’t just know about Jordan’s return to Genoa City. He does something about it when Victor backs Jordan into a corner. Will Victor subscribe to Claire’s thinking? Does he get rid of Jordan permanently? Or will someone else get to do it?

Operation Rescue Sharon

Sharon (Sharon Case) is in a bad way. While she freed herself from being shackled to the pipe, she then realized she drank PCP-tainted water and collapsed. Needless to say, her life hangs in the balance next week.

Will she be able to get out of danger? Well, it may be up to Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Chance (Conner Floyd), who follow a lead in finding Sharon. In Y&R’s Next Week On promo, it looks like they may find Ian (Ray Wise) and Jordan’s hideout along with a lipstick-stained glass. It raises their suspicions about Ian having a partner. Is this the lead that will take them straight to Sharon?

Odds & Ends

While Jordan is on the defense next week, her accomplice is on the offense. Look for Ian to torment Mariah (Camryn Grimes). How does he do that? Does he make her remember their shared past? Mariah already feels guilty and takes the blame for what’s happened to Sharon, even though she shouldn’t.

Things get even more intense for Mariah when she makes a shocking discovery. What does she find that shocks her? Does she find Sharon? What could it be?

Finally, Claire does put her plan to kill Jordan into motion when she gains Jordan’s trust. Now, Obviously, Jordan could be on to her. But she’s also so lonely that she could fall for Claire’s ruse. Can Claire trust Jordan’s trust in her?
