The Young and the Restless Spoilers (YR): Nikki Makes Deal With The Devil (Er, Victor)

The Young and the Restless spoilers (YR) for Tuesday, December 19 promises all of Genoa City looking out for their own interests. Victor makes a deal with Nikki, Ashley confronts Jack over Jabot’s future, and Lauren makes a surprising move.

Victory Is Mine, Sayth The Guy Who Always Says It
Victor convinced both Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and J.T. (Thad Luckinbill) to let him be the one to tell Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) that she’s off the hook for the money she and Kevin (Greg Rikaart) stole from him. (We presume he’ll deal with Kevin down the line — in his own fashion. Run, Chloe, run!)

How does Victor convince them? He tells them it’s what he’s going to do, you got that?

Victor sits Nikki down, and he tells her how things are going to be from now on. Will she accept? Does she have a choice?

Round Up the Usual Suspects
Feels like it was just a few days ago that Ashley (Eileen Davidson) was calling a Jabot board meeting — without Jack (Peter Bergman) — to discuss how her brother was undermining her position as CEO.

This time, Ashley actually invites Jack to join them, so Ashley can express her opposition to Jack offering to buy Chancellor Industries from Jill (Jess Walton).

Jill hasn’t even said yes, yet, but will Ashley’s opposition force her to agree? And what will that mean for Cane (Daniel Goddard)?

Holiday Shopping
While the titans squabble among themselves, Lauren (Tracey Bregman) realizes she needs to take a step to protect her own interests, which includes the Fenmore Department stores and their partnership with Jabot.

Now that Brash & Sassy is back at Newman, Lauren has the option of playing one off against the other. What would Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) do under these circumstances? Maybe Lauren should do the opposite?
