Young and the Restless SHOCK: Nick’s Violent Outburst Has Deadly Consequences – Does Adam Get Injured in Vegas?!

Young and the Restless puts Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) in Las Vegas looking for Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). But things might take a turn that could put everyone in danger. But Adam most of all, the guy that everybody’s so worried about.

We’re going to talk about how Nick’s erratic addict behavior could get Adam hurt because Nick’s a hothead and he’s taking unnecessary risks.

Nick and Adam Head to Vegas to Find Matt on Young and the Restless

So, recently Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Nick talked with Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and they all realized Matt may be in Las Vegas. And then Sienna said Matt used to go out to Vegas now and then and that he was always very vague about the trips.

Sienna suspected that Matt was having an affair and that he had a woman there and she had seen notes signed with an R initial, which makes sense because they found a link between Riza Thompson (Tina Casciani) and Matt. So, Sharon and Nick and the others assume that Matt is dealing drugs out there and had a fentanyl ring in Vegas that’s being run by Riza.

I mean Matt’s Shadow Room in LA was just a 4-hour drive or a 45-minute flight from Vegas. And of course Adam was shocked by all this because he knows Riza from when he was presumed dead and was a card shark in Vegas going by the name of Spyder. But Adam said that the Riza he knew was not involved with drug dealing. But you know how well did he know her?

Adam Eager to Help on YR

And Adam wanted to help. So he offered to go to Vegas with Nick, who was a little skeptical. And he said he didn’t want Adam to have to relive anything painful. But then he started to get the feeling that Nick was trying to get rid of him because he told Adam he could get Riza’s number and then just go back to Genoa City.

Meanwhile, Sharon, Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan), and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and others are worrying about Adam going dark in Vegas. But honestly, that’s not the brother that they need to be watching.

Because I think the real reason that Nick doesn’t want Adam sticking around is because Nick has either run out or he’s about to run out of fentanyl and he needs to score some more illegal opioids. And of course, he doesn’t want Adam to see him buying or using.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Riza Holds Adam at Gunpoint

Official Young and the Restless spoilers say next week, Adam meets with Riza. And it’s not a warm and fuzzy reunion. She’s holding a gun on Adam. And we’ve got impatient Nick down roaming on the casino floor, maybe looking to score some fetty.

That’s one of the street names for the synthetic opioid that Nick is hooked on now. So, he told Adam he wanted to make some inquiries. But he told Nick that he needs to lie low. But of course, the hothead can’t do that. He’s too twitchy from the drugs.

So, instead, he left Adam and went down and got into the chaos of the casino and he calls Noah from there next week. Also next week, Nick’s going to update the Genoa City fam that Adam has got a connection. But they haven’t got their hands on Matt yet.

So, it definitely looks like Nick thinks they’re getting closer. Unfortunately, what Adam doesn’t know is Nick is kind of drug sloppy and really, really on edge. He’s expecting his typical hothead big brother. But there’s a lot more there. Plus, Adam may be distracted because of the reminders of his painful past in Vegas.

But I suspect it’ll be Nick that goes dark in Sin City, not his little brother. Adam already asked Nick to cool his hothead tendencies and let him deal with Riza. And Adam promised that once they find Matt, then very angry Nick can do whatever he wants to Matt.

Nick’s Addiction Could Get Adam Hurt on Y&R

So, I am wondering if Nick goes back upstairs and finds Riza holding Adam at gunpoint and flips out and does something drastic. You know, Riza might fire on Adam if Nick amps things up. Riza might intentionally or accidentally shoot Adam. You know, I could see Nick charge in and try to get the gun away from Riza and it goes off.

If Nick was in his right mind, he might be more cautious. But he’s definitely not going to be cautious with all this stuff in Vegas. And while Adam is dealing with unhinged drug addict Nick, that is when Matt might make a move they don’t see coming.

I’m wondering if Riza was ordered by Matt to create a distraction to keep Nick and Adam busy because Matt may actually be across the country. Well, not technically across—a good ways across in Genoa City plotting to target Noah, Sharon, and Sienna while Nick is gone.

Young and the Restless Twist: Matt’s in GC?

And if you recall, Noah keeps getting texts from Matt that hint that he is in Genoa City. Like when he texted Noah asking Sienna and Noah to save him an empanada, which is what they were eating. And you know, Noah brushed it off. But Sienna’s concerned.

And if Riza’s been involved in Matt’s operation for years. If you know, also Riza’s been his side piece this whole time. Yeah, she could be helping Matt and tries to keep Nick and Adam in Vegas long enough for Matt to do bad things to the family.

Matt May Target Sienna, Sharon and Noah on Young and the Restless

He might target Sienna first to finish what he started in LA, which is trying to kill his wife. That way, Matt could devastate Noah, break his heart. And then Matt could just kill him. And that would devastate Sharon. So, Matt could plan to kidnap or kill all three, Sienna, Sharon, and Noah before Nick and Adam wise up and come back to Genoa City.

I also suspect that Riza and Matt know the signs of fentanyl addiction. So, Riza might report to Matt that Nick is twitchy and on drugs, you know, in a full-blown addiction, so he’s sloppy, making mistakes. And jonesing for his next high.

And Riza could even tempt Nick into taking more fentanyl. If he says no, Riza could just sneak a baggie into Nick’s pocket, knowing that he’ll get it out and take the drugs. And if he’s getting high and going nuts, you know, Adam may get hurt.

Riza May Target Adam

And of course, that could be by Riza since she is working with Matt and shows up with a gun drawn next week. But it could be by Nick himself if he comes so unglued and gets high, especially if they give him some tainted fentanyl. You know, drug addicts think crazy things and they’re really paranoid.

We could see Nick deciding that Adam is plotting against him or working for Matt or is in Vegas to stop him from finding him. You know, something totally deluded that Nick’s drug addict brain just creates out of thin air. That could be really problematic.

I mean, I think we’ve been hinting at this. I thought from the very first time when he ran out of painkillers, I was like, “Okay, yeah, he’s going to get addicted. He’s got Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) genes.” And what’s crazy is that Sienna was trying to talk to people about it and nobody will listen to her.

You know, before she didn’t know that Matt was dealing fentanyl. But being out in LA, she saw fentanyl and she knows what addiction looks like and she knows what the signs are and Nick’s showing them. But nobody will listen to her.

Young and the Restless: Matt Gets the Upper Hand

So, I do think Nick’s addiction is going to make things easier for Matt because Adam is Nick’s only backup out there in Vegas and Riza appears to be on Matt’s side completely. And Noah and Sharon and Sienna are pretty clueless.

Because they think that Matt is in Vegas despite some red flags that he may be in Genoa City.  So, he could creep up on them and catch Sharon and the others off-guard, you know. And do bad bad murdery kidnappy things to them.

I just think that there’s a very good chance that Matt has a few advantages over all of them because they’re in the dark. We’ll see how it goes. But I think things may legit go sideways in Vegas and Nick’s addiction and rage causes Adam to get hurt.
