The Young and the Restless Recap

Noah and Nick came back to Sharon’s, and Noah noted to his dad that he needed medical attention. Nick took his last painkiller, and Noah said that they were making his head swim.

Noah confirmed that Nick wanted to kill Matt and wondered if it was really his idea or the drugs. Nick told him that Matt deserved it. On the stairs, Sienna listened to their conversation.

Sienna finally took off, but Sharon came into the room instead. Noah told her that Nick wanted to kill Matt, but Sharon was surprised by this information. She said that they had talked about it.

Sharon didn’t think it was that easy to kill someone and never think about it again, but Nick was pretty sure he could live with it if Matt was dead. 

Noah couldn’t believe they were even having the conversation. He wanted to know why he got yelled at for leaving the hospital after his car accident, but it was okay for Nick to leave.

At the main house, Adam told Victor that the IT department had tricked the system into attacking files that were decoys. He promised that they’d get through the crisis, but wasn’t sure how long the technical band-aid would hold.

Victoria came in, and Victor told them that Newman was in real trouble. They both thought Chelsea was doing an amazing job holding off the press.

Sienna was let in by security and asked to speak to Victor alone, so Victoria introduced herself, then left with Adam to meet Chelsea at Crimson Lights.

Sienna told Victor that she overheard Noah and Nick talking, and that Nick not only had Matt in his trunk, but he was planning on killing Matt. Unsurprised, Victor invited Sienna to take a seat and warmed up to her by telling her she could call him Victor.

Sienna confided that she really loved Noah, but she also missed L.A., and Noah seemed intent on staying in town for a while. She said he told her that he could have his stuff packed up for him in London.

“Noah almost died because of me, Victor,” Sienna said. She claimed that Noah told her Matt would have come after him anyway, but whether or not that was true, it wasn’t the way to start a relationship. 

Victor thought it was a good idea for Sienna to go back home after the Matt situation was over.

At Crimson Lights, Chelsea sat in the middle of the coffee shop while on her laptop, trying to hide the screen. Esther paid more attention, knowing there was a secret, and saw on the screen that Newman was under attack.

Chelsea chalked it up to rumors and managed to ward her off, but when Adam and Victoria came in, she told them that it didn’t feel so good with the shoe on the other foot.

Victoria said she was worried about Victor and the toll of the stress. She got upset thinking that Cane was destroying everything her dad had worked for his whole life.

Victoria said they needed to destroy Cane and anyone who was helping him. She compared the situation to handing Cane a gun.

Victoria and Adam surmised that Sienna’s showing up at the ranch had something to do with Nick’s problems with Matt. Victoria said that it was the last thing Victor needed to worry about right now.

Victoria and Adam decided it was time to put the screws to Cane and Phyllis and show them who they were messing with. “And break them,” Adam added.

Back at the ranch, Victor and Sienna came through Sharon’s door. Victor told Nick to hand over Matt Clark, but Nick refused. Nick told his dad to turn away and let him disappear for a bit and take care of it. Victor said Nick was stubborn.

Sienna said she didn’t want Matt handled in a way that would turn Nick into another version of Matt. Victor said that Nick was in no condition to fight Matt, and he could take care of him instead. 

Nick told Victor that he had to be the one who took out Matt but Noah wondered why. Noah suggested Victor take care of Matt instead and Sharon agreed.

Nick wondered what would happen if he handed Matt over to Victor. “It’s better that no one knows,” Victor told him. Noah, Sharon, and Sienna said that was enough for them, but Nick disagreed. 

Everyone told Nick that he needed medical attention. Victor promised him he would take care of Matt Clark.

🗣️ Let’s Talk About Nick: When it comes to Matt Clark, Nick tries hard to “end things,” but it rarely ends well.

Is it time for Matt to be knocked off once and for all — or will he even be in the trunk when Victor gets there?
