On the June 25 episode of The Young and the Restless, Nikki’s family fretted as she was prepped for surgery, while Victor demanded that the best doctor in the country be sent to treat her. If this happens, we can only hope the removal of Nikki’s brain mass will be the cure she’s needed for decades.
Key Takeaways
- Nikki may be going blind.
- Nikki needs brain surgery.
- Will the procedure finally free her?
I Can See Clearly Now
Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) vision blurred, and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) rushed her to the hospital. Nikki is terrified of going blind.
We, on the other hand, are hoping she might finally be able to see clearly. Nikki has been blind for over 40 years. Blind to the evil lunacy that is her on-again, off-again husband, Victor (Eric Braeden). Nikki has refused to see what an awful, controlling, vicious man he is. But this could be her moment of truth.
Brain Scan
You know how Matt (Roger Howarth) was hit on the head with a rock, and now he’s a good guy? Or, at least, a less bad guy? Well, what if removing the brain mass pressing on Nikki’s optical nerve removes whatever mental condition she suffers from, the one that makes her think Victor is a good husband?
After all, the growth of this mass comes at the same time as Nikki finally walking out on Victor. What if they’re connected?
Sick in the Head
We’ve been wondering why she’s suddenly grown a backbone. It can’t be just because Victor kidnapped Jack (Peter Bergman). He’s done it before, and Nikki still kept cooing about how much she loved her big, strong husband.
So maybe it’s the tumor that’s finally making her see Victor clearly (even as her sight is failing). Oh, no! We just had a horrible thought. What if removing the mass… makes Nikki weak to Victor’s nonsense again? This is such a tough medical call!
