Young and the Restless Next Week: Nick Overdoses While Matt Laughs Like a Madman!

Young and the Restless spoilers for next week reveal Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) overdosing while Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) watches and laughs like the twisted maniac that he is.

We also have Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) terrified. Noah Newman and his mom Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) are panicked, and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is scrambling. We’re going to get into the latest Y&R spoilers for the week of April 27th.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis May Have To Give Everything Back To Victor

All right, so first of all, we got to talk about Phyllis Summers. She may have no choice but to give everything back to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). So, at the end of this week that we’re in, Phyllis is in her office at the Newman Tower, vowing to her own portrait that she will never give up and smack talking about Victor having met his match in her.

And then while Phyllis is, you know, villain monologuing, Victor and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) walk in and they both laugh at her. They tell Phyllis that they have a deal for her that she cannot refuse, and she reminds Victor that he screwed her over the last time she made a deal with him. That is accurate.

Y&R Spoilers: Phyllis Faces Prison Time

So, that’s when Victoria drops the bombshell that Christine Williams Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) is the district attorney again. And we know how she feels about Red. And Victor had his AI invent some fairly compelling evidence against Phyllis that they’re ready to hand over to Christine so that Phyllis can be prosecuted for criminal charges. So, Victoria shows Phyllis the evidence and she says, “Okay, it looks fake.” But Victoria thinks Christine will be happy to prosecute Phyllis and will see what she wants to see.

So, Phyllis is calling them hypocrites after them stealing the company from Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and then kidnapping and drugging Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and just all the horrible stuff that Victor was doing with the AI. And then they showed the second part of the plan. So, Victor has bribed a bunch of managers to say that Phyllis confessed to these criminal acts.

So, they have the trumped up evidence and then some trumped up witness statements. And she tells Victor and Victoria that she’s going to call their bluff. She’ll see them in court. And Victor threatens and says, “Phyllis better drop the papers to give it all back.” They storm out. Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) comfort Phyllis, who of course wants to fight. Michael thinks it’s not going to go well.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis Grows Desperate

So, next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers have Phyllis scrambling to keep what she stole because the last thing that she wants is to admit defeat and cave to Victor freaking Newman and give him back anything. I mean, it’s kind of a toss-up for me because they’re both villains and I’d like to see somebody else wind up with all this stuff.

So, if Phyllis doesn’t give Victor what he wants, then Phyllis could face prison time. And Christine might actually enjoy threatening to prosecute Phyllis, although I’m not sure that Cricket would actually move forward if she heard the rumor that it was AI evidence based on what’s happening. Michael could probably, you know, talk to her about it.

Matt Clark Versus The Newmans on Y&R

So, let’s talk now about the May sweeps dust-up with Matt Clark versus Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Nick Newman and their family and this tragic overdose. So, at the end of this week, Adam and Nick and Chelsea are trying to convince Riza Thompson (Tina Casciani) to turn on Matt and help them. So, they promise Riza millions of dollars. She’s interested, but she’s upset that Adam was using her, so she wants cash up front. And he reminds Riza of their past. That kind of bothers Chelsea. And finally, Riza tells them Matt’s going to be at this old abandoned gas station where he keeps his drug inventory.

So, Nick’s worried that Sharon and Noah are walking into a trap because Matt took their phones. And I don’t know why those people that know that didn’t call Sharon like on Chelsea’s phone or you know a hotel phone or buy a burner phone and call Sharon, call Noah, tell them. Anyway, they got Riza calling Matt and they want her to tell him that Adam and Nick have given up and just went back to Genoa City. So, Adam and Nick take off for the gas station while Riza makes the call.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Matt Snatches Sharon & Noah

Meanwhile, Matt creeped up on Sharon and Noah at the old gas station. Just slid into their car. I guess they don’t keep the doors locked. And Matt pulls a gun and he forces Noah and Sharon into the dusty old garage. And Matt promises it’s going to be a nightmare. Noah’s trying to talk them out of it, offering bribes, yada yada. Riza calls Matt. He’s pretty sure she’s lying about Nick and Adam leaving town. And then Chelsea and Riza are kind of having a tense conversation about Adam.

Adam Worried about Nick on Y&R Next Week

So, in the car, we’ve got Nick and Adam speeding to the old gas station to save Noah and Sharon. Adam thinks Nick is looking rough, and he’s let him get behind the wheel. And then Adam confronts his brother about lying and says he’s seen his bags of pills and he thinks Nick needs to admit that he’s messed up. But of course, he’s not going to do it. And Adam keeps at it and tells Nick that he’s putting them all in danger. Meanwhile, things get deadly in the garage as Matt tells Sharon and Noah one of them will die while the other watches. So, that’s where this week’s cliffhanger leaves off.

Matt knows from Riza’s clumsy phone call that Nick and Adam are still around, probably getting closer to him, and there’s going to be more danger before they even make it to Noah and Sharon. So, next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers have Nick finally in the passenger seat. So, clearly he’s in worse and worse shape. He’s twitchy.

He’s sweaty with withdrawals because he’s been doing cocaine and fentanyl. So, Adam’s driving, but he worries about his brother and tells Nick it’s obvious he needs his drugs. And Adam tells Nick, just go ahead, do what you got to do. So Adam is encouraging Nick to take a hit so that at least he’s functional and not in DTs while they are confronting Matt.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nick Overdoses

So, looks like that he’s going to lure Nick and Adam into the same garage where he’s got Sharon and Noah pinned in. And it looks like Sharon and Noah are still handcuffed and chained together up against a big metal beam. Next week things turn really bad because Nick and Adam wind up locked in with Sharon and Noah and Matt takes off and leaves them there.

And Nick, of course, has taken more of the drugs he got from Matt’s dealer to take the edge off. But it goes really badly and Adam rushes to help Nick who is overdosing next week. He’s on the floor. He’s in distress. Adam’s trying to help him while Sharon and Noah desperately try to get loose of their handcuffs so they can try and help Nick.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Does Psycho Matt Get Away with It?

Meanwhile, horrible, horrible Matt is watching all of this go down. He left surveillance cameras in there. So, he’s on the road in his car watching this go down and he’s mocking Nick’s overdose. He says little rich boy Newman finally hit on the bag with the bad batch. Remember he had tainted fentanyl so he obviously had his dealer give a tainted baggie hoping Nick would overdose. Matt already told Nick he planned on him to overdose.

So, it looks like things get sorted to some extent because next week Adam makes it back to Chelsea at the hotel. Now Adam’s looking scruffy and a little worse for wear and Chelsea’s freaking out saying thank god you’re okay but she wants to know where’s Nick and Adam looks very upset about that question. So, I’m guessing Nick is at the hospital with Sharon and Noah hovering over him. But the question is, does Matt Clark live to fight another day?
