The week of August 11-15 on The Young and the Restless promises big drama for Nick Newman as his emotions—and his alliances—shift in surprising ways. Billy pushes one button too many, sparking a heated confrontation, while Victor makes an unexpected offer that could draw Nick into a risky new battle. Sharon gets a front-row seat to a side of Nick she hasn’t seen in a long time, all while juggling her own concerns about Mariah’s well-being. These are Soap Hub‘s top moments to watch on Y&R next week.

Victor Recruits Nick for a Mission
While Nick is dealing with Billy, Victor (Eric Braeden) is busy laying the groundwork for his next strategic move. In a twist Nick may not have seen coming, Victor turns to him for help in taking down a powerful opponent. Could it be Cane (Billy Flynn)?
The offer could put Nick right back in the thick of Newman power plays, a place he’s tried to avoid. Whether he accepts could set the tone for the rest of his summer—and reignite tensions with people he’d rather keep at arm’s length.

Sharon Sees a New Side to Nick
Sharon (Sharon Case) is quick to notice the changes in Nick’s demeanor this week. As he juggles the fallout with Billy and the pressure from Victor, Sharon catches glimpses of a more forceful, even ruthless side of him. It leaves her wondering just how far he’s willing to go when he’s pushed—and whether stepping back into Newman battles will change him for good.
Sharon Worries About Mariah
Even as she’s focused on Nick, Sharon can’t shake her concern for Mariah (Camryn Grimes). Her daughter’s recent bizarre behavior has her on edge, and Sharon will need to decide whether to step in or continue giving Mariah space about whatever her secret is. But in Genoa City, hesitation can sometimes make all the difference—and Sharon may not have much time to wait.
