Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor Newman questions Nick’s judgment, Adam and Chelsea strategize, and Sharon schools Phyllis.
VICTOR NEWMAN STOPS WORRYING ABOUT NICK’S SOBRIETY AND STARTS QUESTIONING HIS JUDGMENT
TL;DR: On Monday’s Young and the Restless, Victor Newman questions Nick’s judgment, Adam Newman and Chelsea Lawson strategize against a rival, and Sharon Newman hands Phyllis Summers some unsolicited advice.
Victor Newman Puts Nick’s Judgment On The Table
Victor Newman has been carrying Nick through the sobriety arc, but Monday the Mustache decides Nick’s judgment is the next thing under review.
After Nick Newman struck a dangerous deal Friday, after weeks of choices that have left the Newman family holding their breath, Victor sits his son down and questions whether Nick is thinking clearly. The conversation is going to be the kind only Victor can deliver, equal parts loving and brutal, and Nick is not going to walk away from it without something to chew on.
Victor Newman has spent decades positioning Nick as his heir, his right hand, his successor. Monday, Victor wonders out loud whether Nick is still that man. The doubt itself is the news. The Mustache does not question his son’s judgment publicly, and the fact that he is doing it now tells you exactly how shaken Victor is by recent events. Whatever Nick has been deciding, Victor sees it differently, and Victor is the one with the final word at Newman.
This is the storyline The Young and the Restless has been building since Nick’s overdose, and Monday is the day Victor stops protecting his son from his own choices and starts holding him accountable for them. Eric Braeden and Joshua Morrow in a scene that hinges on a father’s confidence cracking is the kind of acting that lives in DVR libraries forever.
The Mustache loves his son. And love means asking the hard question.

Adam Newman And Chelsea Lawson Strategize Against A Rival
Adam Newman and Chelsea Lawson are putting their heads together.
Monday, the on-and-off-and-on-again couple sits down to strategize against a rival, and an Adam-and-Chelsea team-up is one of the most lethal pairings Genoa City can produce. Whether the rival is Riza, somebody at Newman, or somebody coming for their family, Adam and Chelsea are going to plan with the kind of precision that has historically left their targets BLINDSIDED.
The chemistry of these two plotting together is always undefeated. Mark Grossman and Melissa Claire Egan in a strategy scene is appointment television.
Sharon Newman Hands Phyllis Summers Unsolicited Advice
Sharon Newman and Phyllis Summers do not hand each other advice.
Monday, Sharon does it anyway. Whatever Sharon sees that Phyllis cannot, she is going to say it out loud, asked or not. Phyllis is in deeper than she realizes after Christine cornered her and Lauren warned her, and Sharon is going to weigh in from the most galling possible angle, with a perfectly calm tone and a smile.
Phyllis taking advice from Sharon is going to land like a slap, and the scene between Sharon Case and Michelle Stafford is going to be PURE soap.
Victor questioned Nick’s judgment, Adam and Chelsea got tactical, and Sharon schooled Phyllis. Which Genoa City moment did the most damage? Drop it below.
