On the July 23 episode of The Young and the Restless, Adam went behind Victor’s back to sign a deal with Sally and Audra for Newman Media — a deal Victor already turned down. Chelsea is convinced that’s all there is to it. But we suspect this is only step one of Adam’s long-term plan.
Key Takeaways
- Victor is constantly screwing Adam over.
- Adam wants to beat his father and siblings.
- Adam knows one thing nobody else knows.
Adam Gave Chelsea the Story He Wanted Her to Believe
Victor (Eric Braeden) has almost run out of ways to demonstrate how much he prefers Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) to Adam (Mark Grossman). (Sure, there’s Abby [Melissa Ordway], but he doesn’t actively put her down, like he does Adam. Victor just forgets she exists periodically.)
Adam told Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) that buying Newman Media back from Sally (Courtney Hope) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) is their way back into Victor’s good graces and to professional success. Chelsea grew up a con-artist. But she can’t see she’s being conned.
Adam Has One Advantage
Victor’s attention is currently split. He is concerned about Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) blindness. You know who knows all about blindness? Adam. Adam went blind briefly before getting surgery to correct it.
But, more importantly, Adam grew up with a blind mother. He knows things about living with the condition that Victor and his children will never know.
Nikki Could Become the Key
What if Adam offers to help Nikki adjust to her new normal? What if the pair grows close? What if Nikki starts to trust Adam above all others? And what if Adam takes advantage of her trust to manipulate Victor in a way that only Nikki can?
Victor thinks he can anticipate all attacks — he’s wrong, he totally misjudged Cane (Billy Flynn), but this is about what Victor believes, not reality — except this is one he will never see coming. (So who’s the real blind one, here?)
