Young and the Restless: Victor Clashes with Adam as Fierce Newman Battle Explodes!

Young and the Restless puts Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) at odds again. And I suspect things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better between the mustache and his namesake son. We’re going to talk about what may happen now that Victor found out what Adam did.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Actions Hurt Sally

Now, let’s talk about why Victor and Adam might be at each other’s throats again like they haven’t been in several years. Victor finding out about Adam’s deal with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) could be what sparks a big old Newman battle all over again.

This week, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) did what he always does and let his ego control his actions. He ran his mouth to Victor about Adam’s Newman Media deal he made with Sally. And of course, Billy did that because he wanted to hurt Adam and he wanted to make him look bad in his dad’s eyes.

And of course, Billy also wanted to infuriate Victor. But as usual, Billy didn’t stop to consider what it would do to anybody else. He never thinks about collateral damage. And Sally is understandably furious and told Billy, “Find a way to fix what he broke.”

But the thing is, Sally is actually asking the impossible. Billy cannot take back what he said to Victor, and there’s no way that Billy is going to be able to convince Victor to not go after Sally if that’s what he decides he wants to do.

Adam a Newman Outsider Once Again on Y&R

Meanwhile, also thanks to Billy, we now have Adam finding himself on the outs again when it comes to Victor. And that’s what Billy wanted. So, Victor’s upset with Adam for not telling him the truth right from the start. And Victor’s even more angry because he had to hear it from Billy Boy. Of course, Adam just wanted Victor to be happy that he made the deal and he got Newman Media back and it’s back in the family’s hands. But, of course, Victor wasn’t going to just be happy and smile and take that at face value.

Adam also has been very intent on protecting Sally because he and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) don’t want to stress Sally out because she is pregnant and she’s at high risk. But of course, Victor does not care and he will destroy anyone he takes aim at, even if it’s a pregnant woman. So, on top of that, it’s a pregnant woman who has done nothing to him. But Victor won’t care.

Young and the Restless: Adam and Chelsea’s Breaking Point

So, Adam took off before he and Victor could finish hashing it out about what Billy told him. And then Adam and Chelsea even skipped Victor and Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) vow renewal ceremony. That was a big deal. And Victor and Nikki are going to be heading off to Italy soon.

But once they are back home, Adam thinks his dad’s going to try and make him pay for keeping the truth from him. But honestly, Adam has been so good for so long. But as we know, Victor loves to kick him like a puppy who tinkled on the rug. So, as far as he’s concerned, Adam solved the Sally problem.

And as we know, she didn’t cause that problem. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) stole Newman Media and Billy forced Newman Media onto Sally and wrapped it up in the other business. And Adam went about recovering the family business in a reasonable way. But of course, Victor’s mad.

And I don’t think Adam will care if Victor wants to go after Billy. That’s fine. But if Victor goes after Sally, that’s where I think this war is going to start. And I fully expect Chelsea to be on board with it. Right now, she doesn’t want Adam focusing on revenge on Billy. She wants him to let it go, focus on their business and their life together.

Victor, though, is another story. Chelsea doesn’t like working for Victor. She doesn’t really like living on the ranch. And she also doesn’t want to hurt Sally. So, this time, Adam has a solid co-conspirator. So, if Victor decides to go to war with Adam, it’ll get messy.

Adam & Chelsea Break Away from Newman on Y&R

And here’s some of what we may see soon. First, I suspect Adam and Chelsea might break away from Newman. Maybe they try and take Newman Media away from Victor. Or maybe they just abandon it. They could even sabotage it and start their own company, build it up from scratch on Young and the Restless.

But Sally doesn’t want Adam going after Billy. And he may agree when they talk at the end of this week. But then when Adam hears from Chelsea that Billy said she should leave Adam, I think that’ll be the end of any truce between them and they’re not going to be civil.

Chelsea and Sally though may go behind Adam and Billy’s backs. They may conspire to keep Adam and Billy from destroying each other. And Chelsea and Sally might even agree that Adam and Billy going after Victor is better than the two of them going after each other. So that’s one thing we might see happen.

Young and Restless: Adam’s Potential Weapons Against Victor

Another is if Victor tries to destroy them, you know, Sally, Adam, Chelsea, then Adam may threaten to out Victor for what he did to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) years ago. And on more than one occasion, Adam had conspired with Jack against his dad. One time in the past, I remember they sent Victor to prison.

And if they did it this time, it’d be one hundred percent legit. And I’m sure Adam could find evidence of the money trail where Victor paid Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) to do things. There might be a text chain or video evidence of Victor at the Psych Hospital meeting with Patty and Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns).

Basically, something DA Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) couldn’t ignore that implicates Victor in Patty’s crimes on Jack and Diane. There’s got to be something out there linking Victor to Patty. And if he goes looking, I think Adam might be the one to find it.

Young and the Restless: Adam and Kyle Team Up?

Another scenario we might see is Adam teaming up with Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), who still wants revenge on Victor, and he wants it bad. Victor has gone too far. He messed with Kyle’s family and he almost killed both of his parents. So, we all saw, if you’re a longtime watcher, Adam has played really dirty with Victor many times in the past.

And it might be fun to see Adam biting the hand that feeds him again because he’s had enough of Victor. And at one point, Adam even conspired with Ian Ward (Ray Wise) against Victor. Do you guys remember that? So, right now, the mustache put Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) in charge of Newman Enterprises.

And then he promised Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) a job there as soon as he’s fully recovered from his drug addiction, but Victor’s throwing Adam scraps as usual. So, Kyle might work with Adam to mess with Victor. And honestly, I would love to see that like a next generation team up.

Chelsea in Adam’s Corner on Y&R

The next thing to consider is that Chelsea alone is a formidable weapon. Years ago, remember, she was faking paralysis to frame Adam for Rey Rosales’ (Jordie Vilasuso) attempted murder. She is ruthless when she is ticked off. And if Victor comes hard after Adam, I think Victor might be blindsided.

Chelsea might come at Victor really hard out of nowhere. She is diabolical and knows how to cause problems. Just because Chelsea’s been chill the last few years doesn’t mean she can’t crank that engine up again and start scheming at a moment’s notice. In the end, Adam and Chelsea want to work together. They want to live together. They want to raise their son, Connor Newman (Judah Mackey).

And they don’t want the poisonous drama that comes with Victor constantly attacking people unprovoked because he can’t let anything go. He has zero chill. He’s always got to be involved in a vendetta. Chelsea doesn’t want a war. But if Victor’s going to drag her and Adam back into it, they might be ready to play dirty, burn bridges, and the two of them might remind Victor exactly who he is messing with. Because Adam and Chelsea both can be really diabolical.

So, we’ll see what happens. But Adam’s tired of not getting anywhere with Victor, and he’s tired of the scraps, and Adam’s not going to let Victor hurt Sally. And Chelsea’s in agreement about that. So, I think things are going to get really, really messy for Adam and his dad, Victor, very soon. We’ll see.
