On The Young and the Restless, January 26, Victor could come up with a plan to save his family’s business. Meanwhile, he left Victoria and Nikki in the dark while joining Adam in his plan.
Key Takeaways
- Victor could go after Cane by targeting Lily and their kids.
- Adam was involved in Victor’s plan.
- Victoria and Nikki were shut out of the conversations.
Victor Newman Secures His Legacy
Victor (Eric Braeden, who recently had high praise for a co-star) has been quietly working behind the scenes. No one has any idea what he intended to do. He’s doing whatever it takes to stop Cane’s (Billy Flynn) AI from causing more havoc.
However, Victor kept Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) out of the conversation. Rather, he shared his plan with Adam (Mark Grossman).
Nikki has been trying to break down Victor’s walls for a while now. Meanwhile, Victoria has been working alongside Adam and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) to reclaim the Newmans’ legacy.
Why Victor Dropped Them
By removing them from the conversation, Victor pushed away the women who are the company’s future. Victoria is currently the face of the Newman brand. But he thinks they’re better off not knowing what’s going on.
There could be a reason behind this madness. Victor could be using Lily (Christel Khalil), Maddie, and Charlie as leverage against Cane. If either Nikki or Victoria were to find out about Victor’s devious plan, they would immediately halt it.
The Meaning Behind Adam’s Involvement
Adam loves it when his father needs him. And he’ll do whatever it takes to secure his place in the family. He’s also the only child that Victor trusts with this plan. He’s willing to bend to his father’s moral integrity.
Adam doesn’t question him as his other kids do. Victor invited Adam to join him in this conversation because he knows his son won’t blink twice at anything conniving or ruthless.
Adam has done his share of questionable things in the past. He doesn’t mind blurring the ethical line when it comes to doing what’s best for his family. Victor knows that Victoria and Nikki would lose their minds if they found out what he plans to do with Cane’s family.
After all, Victoria is a mother. She wouldn’t like the idea of someone like Cane using her kids as collateral damage. Also, Victoria has taken a step back on the business side and corporate games, while Adam sees business as a sense of survival.
Adam is aware that he has made some questionable decisions. He already did when he went against his friend, Jack (Peter Bergman). So, it makes perfect sense as to why they’re working quietly together.
