Young & Restless Preview: Champagne, Cupcakes and All-Out Panic at Victor and Nikki’s Anniversary Bash [PHOTOS]

On display at the big 40th-anniversary bash will be an old photo of Nikki and Victor at their first wedding. Their love was right there in black and white!

What party would be complete without cupcakes?! How cute that the caterers stamped Victor and Nikki’s wedding pic on top for good measure.

Nikki shows off her cupcakes — one with the photo of her and Victor’s first wedding, and one of them in later years. So sweet!

Nikki feeds Victor a cupcake — a big bite ahead of a big bash!

Nikki and Victor pose in their finery, confident of their plan to rid themselves of Jordan once and for all as they party the night away.

Michael and Lauren are a sight for sore eyes in their party duds — these two always look amazing!

Nikki and Victor pose with their long-time friend, Lauren Fenmore at the big anniversary bash. Lauren’s had enough drama for a lifetime after her saga with Sheila Carter — maybe she gave them pointers on how to deal with a psychopath like Jorda!

Well, maybe not, but nonetheless, Nick will spend time hanging out with his most passionate and unpredictable ex at the get together.

Nick and Phyllis’ daughter, and Nikki and Victor’s granddaughter, Summer wouldn’t miss this party for the world. But we’ve a feeling she might come to wish she had stayed home.

Making the party all the more fun, Phyllis and Diane run into each other and pause for a good snark session. We have to wonder if they’re remembering what happened at the last gala Nikki and Victor threw in the jazz lounge!

Adam may not be feeling the party, what with Connor away at the treatment facility in Maryland, but Sally is by his side and that makes all the difference. Will she end up talking business with the Mustache at some point?

Lauren gives Diane a steely look as Michael, oblivious, watches Nikki and Victor share a romantic slow dance.

We can just hear Victor crooning, “My Baby” in Nikki’s ear as they take to the dance floor. What an incredible love story they share.

Perhaps seeing Adam and Sally prompted Nick to encourage his dad to give the redhead’s interior design business a second chance by pulling it under the Newman umbrella. Or maybe Victor’s reassuring Nick about security. “We’re luring Jordan here, but I promise you won’t get stabbed again, my boy!”

We can’t help but think it looks as though Nick is calling Phyllis out for something in this moment. Or is she trying to talk him into buying Omegasphere from Lily?

This interaction between Jack and Nikki kinda looks tense. We know she’s back on the sauce — did Ol’ Smilin’ catch her taking a nip behind one of those big red curtains? Better check that super cute silver clutch!

Summer and Phyllis are both giving Nick quite the look. Maybe he just told another one of his bad dad jokes?!

Whatever is happening on this phone call, it doesn’t look like Summer is very happy about it. In fact, she looks downright upset. Here we go…

In a weird and unforeseen twist, panic appears to have followed Jack and Diane home from the anniversary bash and right into their home. Could thir shocked expressions have anything to do with the call Summer got in the previous slide?!

Might the panic ensuing have something to do with Claire babysitting Harrison? We have a lot of questions. Where is Kyle? Why is Claire in party garb while caregiving? Might this idyllic scene have been a precursor to whatever went down? What could have happened involving Claire and Harrison?! You’ll have to tune in to Young & Restless on Friday April 12 to find out.
