In the January 2 episode of The Young and the Restless, Matt Clark bargains with Nick. Of course, that doesn’t last for long. He’ll end up leaving with the money and destroying two lives.
Key Takeaways
- Nick made a deal with Matt.
- Matt has left an unconscious Sienna locked up somewhere.
- He wants the Newmans’ money and to end the lives of Noah and Sienna.
What Happened Today on Y&R?
Matt (Roger Howarth) lay next to Sienna (Tamara Braun), who remained unconscious and bound in a hotel room. She woke up briefly as he made a quick video of her. This was his bargaining chip.
Matt told his wife that she no longer had a future. Later, he met with Nick (Joshua Morrow) at Chancellor Park Overlook. Nick wanted to know if they had a deal.
Matt demanded $5 million and wanted the money wired immediately. He told Nick that he would provide Noah (Lucas Adams) with his bank account details. But Nick wanted proof of life.
That’s when Matt showed Nick the video. Nick told him that the deal would also keep Sienna alive. Matt told Nick that he only had an hour to send the money, or he would send a different video of Sienna.
What This Means for Matt
Matt does not agree to Nick’s deal. He doesn’t want a million dollars from a family that probably has hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s considered chump change. He wants to take the money and flee the country.
He also wants to win this fight. Matt is not done with getting his revenge on the Newmans. He’s waited over 20 years for this to happen. And now, two people will pay.
The Fallout
Later, Matt returned to the hotel and informed Annie about the agreement he had made with Nick. Annie wondered if he could trust Nick. Matt said he doesn’t have a choice.
Annie wondered if this meant that Sienna and Noah would get to live. Matt asked what gave her that idea. He wasn’t going to bow out easily.
He wants the Newmans’ money, but he also wants to end the lives of two people. Noah and Sienna would end up six feet under, no matter what.
Nick has no idea that his plan would backfire. He should’ve consulted Victor (Eric Braeden) about his deal with Matt before moving forward with it. Of course, Matt wasn’t going to back down and take their money without a fight.
