Young and the Restless had Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) kidnapped by Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), and this week, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is snatched, too. So, things are looking really dire for the Newman brothers, and we have to wonder who is going to save Nick and Adam. Could it be the ladies?
We’re going to talk about Nick and Adam being at horrible Matt’s mercy and of course he doesn’t have much mercy and if Adam and Nick are going to survive this I think they are going to need help. I mean Adam was just conked in the head and Nick’s high on all kinds of bad drugs. So it looks bad. Let’s just talk about what’s ahead.
Matt Tells Adam That Nick Overdosed on Young and the Restless
Adam and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) were horrified this week when Matt told them that Nick overdosed and died. And of course, Adam flips out and insists that Matt is lying about Nick being dead. And Matt says that Nick was using both fentanyl and cocaine and that the drugs won. So, Adam demands that Matt take him to see Nick whether his brother is dead or alive.
And at first, Matt refuses because he’s running a long con, right? But then Adam threatens to kill him and he warns Matt that he himself has done some pretty bad things in the past. Adam says he’s done things that would impress a sick freak like Matt. So he finally pretends to relent and tells Adam yes. And Chelsea wants to go with them to see Nick, but Matt shuts that down immediately and tells Chelsea no because he’s scheming.
Matt Attacks Adam on Y&R
Then Matt takes Adam down to the storage room where he is keeping Nick. And then Adam sees his brother on the floor and Nick is tied up and he’s lying there all limp. Of course, Adam’s worried and he bends down to check Nick for a pulse.
And that is when Matt bashes Adam in the head with a fire extinguisher. So that’s got to hurt. And then Matt leaves Adam and Nick both locked in the storage room together. So, now Matt has both of the Newman boys in his clutches.
Chelsea May Call Sharon on Young and the Restless
And I don’t think anybody, not even Riza Thompson (Tina Casciani), knows where Matt has stashed Nick. And that means they’ve got no idea where to start looking for him and Adam. Now we had Matt and Adam leaving Riza with Chelsea when they took off.
So, we’ll see if Matt shows back up to, you know, do some wicked villain laughter.
Or if he just heads back to Riza’s room to wait on her. So, I guess we’ll see if he taunts Chelsea or not. Matt seems like the kind who would show up to do a villain monologue. But either way, when Adam doesn’t return to the hotel room, whether Matt stops by or not, I’m sure that Chelsea is going to panic.
And I think she’s going to call Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and let her know that Matt told them that Nick overdosed and died. Chelsea may also tell Sharon that Adam suspected that Nick is addicted to painkillers.
And then Chelsea is probably going to tell her Adam left with Matt to see what happened to Nick. Now Adam has also disappeared. And of course Sharon’s going to freak out. An official Young and the Restless spoilers say that she heads to Vegas by the end of this week.
Young and Restless: Noah Wants to Go after Matt
And already back in Genoa City, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) was pushing and said he wanted to go to Vegas, but Sharon doesn’t want their son in more danger. I suspect if she leaves without Noah, he and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) may still follow along because things are about to hit fever pitch.
Now, Sharon knows that Matt wants to kill Noah because he slept with his wife, Sienna. We’ll see if Sharon goes ahead and just takes off without even telling Noah that way she can try and keep him safe in Genoa City.
All The Main Players May Wind Up In Vegas on Y&R
And in the end, all the main players may wind up in Vegas. We could see Adam there. Obviously, he’s there and he’s with Nick. Chelsea’s already gone there. Sharon’s on the way soon. And Noah and Sienna might follow.
And after Matt leaves Adam and Nick in the storage room, he may circle back and also try and hurt Chelsea or kidnap her, too. So, we also have to see which side that Riza is going to fall on.
She had been partnering with Matt for a while, but she thought his name was Ronnie. And then Adam told her what a dangerous psycho that he is. But Rizza may just be paralyzed with fear, especially when she sees what he’s been doing with the Newmans.
So, Matt might also chuck Chelsea in with Adam and Nick so he’s got all his targets in one room like fish in a barrel. And either way, I think Matt’s going to warn Riza she better not turn on him or else. But she likes Adam even though she feels like he tricked her. And Riza may hope that by siding with Adam, he’ll take out Matt and then Riza can take over the whole Vegas operation herself.
Sharon, Chelsea, And Riza May Team Up on Young and the Restless
And once Sharon’s in Vegas, I think we could see her and Riza and Chelsea plotting and scheming. But Riza would have to pretend to still be on Matt’s side to make this work. And I’m betting he would be thrilled to find out that Sharon is in Vegas because Matt has always been fixated on Sharon.
If you remember, he raped her back in the day. I’m sure Matt is gonna try and hurt Sharon because he has many times in the past. But Chelsea and Sharon are tough and they’re not going to back down from Matt. They are not going to let him win and they are certainly not going to lose Nick and Adam.
Will Riza Turn against Matt on Y&R?
And don’t forget Riza is a tough cookie, too. And she might be on board to help because she is starting to see just how evil Matt is. I expect Riza has resources of her own in Vegas because she’s the one who’s been running things there while Matt was off in LA for so long. And when Chelsea asks Riza what side she’s on, she calls Matt a maniac.
But Riza also said she’s not about to pick a fight with Matt, but she may not have a choice. So Riza and Chelsea bickered a little, but I think once Sharon arrives, she and Chelsea may be able to get Rizza fully on their side. And Sharon and Chelsea are going to need all the help that they can get.
Now, we know Rizza has a gun because she pulled it on Adam when he first came back. So hopefully Rizza gets the chance to grab it and either shoot Matt or hold him at gunpoint so Sharon and Chelsea can run in and give Matt a beat down and restrain him long enough to call the police and get him arrested.
We’ll see if they can work that out. I do think that he is planning ahead and thinking ahead and is a couple of moves ahead of them because Nick and Adam were in reactionary mode where Matt was plotting and scheming proactively.
The Ladies May Save The Day on Young and Restless
But once Sharon arrives in Las Vegas, obviously she’s going to be on Matt’s radar and things could get really dangerous really fast. We were promised a big showdown with Nick and Sharon and their allies against Matt. And with May sweeps starting up next week, it is nearly time for the big boss battle.
I think it’d be really cool if instead of the men saving the day that it might be Sharon and Chelsea who swoop in to rescue Adam and Nick. And now that Adam told Chelsea he’s sure about Nick’s drug addiction, of course, that’s another issue and another weakness that’s going to make things messier.
And we’ll see if Matt keeps forcing drugs on just Nick or if Matt also turns around and tries to force some drugs on Adam also just to put him in a weakened state. Hopefully Sharon and Chelsea can find Nick and Adam and save them from Matt and put that villain down once and for all. And before all is said and done, Riza and Sienna might help out. And it could be all the ladies beating Matt at his own twisted game.
