In today’s riveting episode of The Young and the Restless, tensions are high as Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) makes a promise to help clear Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) name, while Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) makes moves to safeguard her interests.

A skeptical Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) cautions Summer Newman (Hunter King) about worsening the situation with a fake witness. However, Summer is resolute in her decision to locate the elusive EMT, even suggesting the possibility of buying his silence. An uncomfortable Daniel steps back, leaving Summer to reveal her strategy to Phyllis through a video call. Although determined to help, Phyllis advises her daughter to focus on her crumbling marriage instead.

Meanwhile, Victor’s concerns about Nick’s imprisonment are discussed with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) at the office. Nikki suggests shifting their focus onto business matters and broaches the topic of Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). She reassures Victor that Nate is a trustworthy asset for their company.

Later, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nate share moments of intimacy before being interrupted by alarming news about Nick’s arrest. Upon their arrival at Newman Enterprises, Victor updates them on the situation, assuring them that their lawyer, Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc), will provide more details soon. Victoria, aware of the company’s image, recommends that Nick take a leave of absence, which sparks a conversation about potential successors for his role.

Michael visits Nick in jail, promising to get him out by the following day and advises him to rest in the meantime. A grateful Nick appreciates everyone’s efforts on his behalf.

In another part of town, Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) vents her frustrations to Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) about leaving Genoa City. Upon Chance Chancellor’s (Donny Boaz) arrival, Faith confronts him about arresting her father. Chance assures Faith that he had no choice and promises that Nick will be released soon. Later, a mysterious noise startles Sharon, leading to a conversation about her past encounters with Cameron Kirsten.

Meanwhile, Phyllis calls Daniel from an undisclosed location, asking him to keep an eye on Summer and prevent her from tracking down Carson McDonald (Joe Cipriano). Despite Daniel’s protests, Phyllis remains firm in her decision to keep them safe.

At Society, Michael meets with a frantic Summer, reassuring her about her father’s situation. However, when Summer reveals her plan to pay Carson to lie about witnessing Phyllis killing Richard Hightower (Peter Bergman), Michael dismisses the idea, refusing to break the law.

Elsewhere, Nate shares a drink with Audra Torres (Jordan Belfi), and they discuss the possibility of Nick’s leave leading to a promotion. Victor, overhearing the conversation, can’t help but watch them as they toast to their ambitions.

Back at Society, Victor, Michael, and Summer join forces to locate the missing EMT, Carson. Despite his initial reluctance, Victor agrees to help them after they persuade him.

Finally, at the Abbott estate, Daniel seeks help from Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) to dissuade Summer from her plan. Kyle, despite his love for Summer, feels that Daniel is asking too much of him and is uncertain if he can intervene.

As the day ends, fans are left in suspense about what tomorrow’s episode will bring. Will Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) manage to come to Chelsea Lawson’s (Melissa Claire Egan) rescue? Only time will tell.
