This Monday on The Young and the Restless, the Newman family faces mounting turmoil as secrets unravel and sinister plots take shape. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is furious after learning he was intentionally kept out of the loop regarding the Jordan (Colleen Zenk) scheme. Claire Newman (Hayley Erin), Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) conspired to keep Victor in the dark, and while Claire may take the fall for suggesting secrecy, Victor believes all three women share the blame for the dangerous risks their actions have invited.
Victoria tries to downplay the situation, taking the stance that everything is fine now that Jordan is out of the picture and can no longer harm them. But Victor isn’t convinced, and neither is Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd), who is tasked with investigating Jordan’s death. The Newmans need to convince Chance that Jordan’s death was a suicide due to feeling trapped, but while Victor’s version of events might hold some truth, Chance senses there’s more to the story—and that the family is hiding something.
As the investigation heats up, Claire becomes increasingly nervous, especially as authorities focus on the sleeping pills found in Jordan’s system. The Newmans must scramble to create a coherent timeline and cover their tracks. Meanwhile, Victor drops a bombshell: Ian Ward (Ray Wise) is still out there, and his next move could spell even more chaos for the Newmans. The threat of Ian’s wrath looms large, and Victor knows they haven’t seen the last of him yet.
Elsewhere, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is dealt a devastating blow. After her dramatic sewer escape and a heart-to-heart with Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), Mariah is ready to make amends with Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks). However, when she arrives home, Tessa and their daughter, Aria Porter-Copeland (Maddie and Millie Ingle), have mysteriously disappeared. Panic sets in as Mariah fears that Ian Ward has retaliated by kidnapping both Tessa and Aria.
Frantic and overwhelmed, Mariah turns to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) for comfort. While Nick tries to reassure her that they’ll find Tessa and Aria soon, the possibility of Ian’s involvement in their disappearance looms large. The family’s worst fears may be coming true, and the emotional stakes are higher than ever.
With Ian Ward’s grip tightening on Genoa City, the Newmans are faced with their darkest challenges yet. Can Victor outmaneuver Ian, or will Ian’s relentless schemes claim more victims? As tension builds and secrets unravel, The Young and the Restless delivers another thrilling week full of drama and high-stakes action. Don’t miss a moment!
