The Young and the Restless spoilers for February 16-20 focus on Nikki wanting revenge against an enemy. Her target could be Billy or Phyllis. Not only did Phyllis wrestle control of Newman Enterprises from Victor and Cane, but she also handed Chancellor over to Billy, who additionally took Newman Media for Sally.
Meanwhile, Tessa’s torn between her past and present, which isn’t very surprising. This is the moment of truth for her. The weekly spoilers reveal that Mariah returns home to face the music.
As a result, Tessa will have to face the music as well. On her mind will be Mariah, who checked herself out of the Boston clinic, kidnapped Dominic, and fled with him in hopes of getting to Mexico. And then there’s Daniel, whom she turned to for support during this trying time. They developed real feelings for each other.
In other Y&R news, Victor gives Cane a taste of his own medicine, even though they are both on the outside looking in at Newman Enterprises. Cane’s big move is to form an alliance with Daniel, which will definitely hit Phyllis where it hurts. Look for Jack to throw a wrench in Billy’s plans, which is understandable when you think about how much Jack will hate the fact that Nikki isn’t heading up Chancellor.
Finally, Claire wants to trade secrets with Holden. And Devon and Nate raise suspicions about Lily’s disappearance. So Lily is still off the grid? Here’s what else is happening next week.
Key Takeaways
- Nikki sets her sights on revenge as power struggles explode
- Mariah returns, forcing Tessa to confront past feelings and present choices
