Victoria Newman Came For Billy Abbott’s Entire Existence

Victoria Newman walks into her father’s office on The Young and the Restless and finds Phyllis Summers sitting behind the desk like she owns the place โ€” because she does now โ€” with Billy Abbott standing there looking entirely too pleased with himself. Victoria’s first word? “Disgusting.”

Phyllis laughs in her face. She has sole ownership of Newman Enterprises and she is not letting her precious go. Victoria fires back that Phyllis would betray anyone โ€” including her own daughter Summer. Then she turns on Billy. He lied to her face. He attacked his own children’s family to get Chancellor.

Billy tries to claim he is freeing his kids from being cogs in the Newman machine. Victoria is not having it. She tells him she will tell their children exactly what kind of man their father is. His kids will never want to see him again.

After Victoria storms out, Billy turns to Phyllis looking terrified. He saw bloodlust in Victoria’s eyes. She meant every word. And if Victor makes sure he loses custody of his kids, what was any of this for?

Diane Jenkins Finally Snapped

Nikki Newman shows up at the Abbott mansion looking for answers about Billy. Jack listens to her concerns, promises to help, and pulls her into a comforting hug. That is exactly when Diane Jenkins walks into the room.

After Nikki leaves, Diane lets her husband have it. She accuses Nikki of manipulating Jack’s affection to get whatever she wants. Is Jack supposed to hand Chancellor back to Nikki on a silver platter? Jack insists Nikki would never ask that. Diane laughs bitterly. Nikki absolutely would โ€” she always puts Victor first.

Then Diane goes somewhere she swore she would never go. She throws the relapse in his face. She reminds Jack that he took pills to stop Nikki from drinking. An addict who would risk his own sobriety for another woman would have no problem handing over a company.

Jack tells her it is not fair to bring that up. Diane screams that she is still dealing with it. This friendship has cost them their company, almost cost them their son. When will Nikki ever be enough? When will Jack put his own wife first?

Diane storms upstairs. Jack is left standing alone wondering if his marriage just imploded.

Victor Newman Finds Cane Knocked Out Cold

Victor arrives at Cane’s train car and finds him unconscious. He shakes Cane’s shoulder but the man will not wake up. Victor calls Adam โ€” they have a problem.

Adam shows up and tries to wake Cane with no luck. Victor sniffs the air and recognizes the smell immediately. Chloroform. He knows exactly who did this. Phyllis Summers knocked Cane out while Billy distracted them at the ranch. She was planning to betray Cane from the very beginning.

Victoria Newman and Nate Hastings Get Cozy

At Crimson Lights, Victoria runs into Nate Hastings and vents about Billy. Nate offers to help with whatever she needs โ€” day or night. They laugh together. They smile at each other in a way that does not go unnoticed.

When Nikki arrives, she watches the interaction with raised eyebrows. After Nate leaves, Nikki asks her daughter if maybe Nate wants to be more than friends. Victoria brushes it off. But Nikki is not convinced.

Victor Newman Is Coming For Blood

Victor tells Adam that Phyllis and Billy are still at Newman Tower. There is still time to end this nonsense tonight.

Adam looks at his father. “We could have Newman back tonight.”

WATCH THIS: Should Noah follow his heart?

@soapoperamag Noah's a man in love… But it's such a wildly huge mistake! He has a chance to free himself from Sienna's drama now that she's going back to L.A. Should he let her walk out the door and forget her or should he follow his heart and chase her down…despite the fact she's a married woman. A woman who is very much married to a monster. #YoungandtheRestless โ™ฌ original sound – Soap Opera Magazine
