Everything to know about what happens in The Young and the Restless episodes (December 15 to 19, 2025)

The week begins with Victor telling Adam to proceed with their plan for revenge. Cane and Phyllis work on setting boundaries in their complicated relationship. Billy and Sally’s important Abbott Communications launch party takes a sudden and unexpected turn. This turn creates instant chaos for the new venture.

Victor’s victory over Jabot will spur Jack’s Revenge

This week, Victor will win a big business victory over his enemy, Jack. The Abbott family will be defeated. The success of Victor's scheme is confirmed when he is seen celebrating his triumph on Tuesday. The Abbotts took extreme steps to protect Jabot, but these were not enough to stop Victor. Nikki will learn about her husband’s move against Jabot after this, which Victor meant to keep from her. Nikki is going to confront Victor because she is not happy with his grudge and the cruel things he does to get his way. Jack won't give up even though he lost something very important. Instead, The Young and the Restless spoilers say he will start planning a big counterattack right away. He is set on punishing Victor for being mean.

Jack Vows to Fight Back and Holds Adam Accountable

Jack won't accept losing, so he is going to launch a full counterattack against Victor and the Newmans. Jack understands how much damage has been done to the Abbott family and their business. He quickly figures out who's to blame, and he blames not just Victor but also Adam and Chelsea. Jack will hold Adam and Chelsea responsible for what they did during the incident. This is directly linked to what happened at Billy and Sally's launch party, which was not planned. The trouble at the retro event shows that Victor's plan for revenge has hurt Abbott Communications too. Billy is desperate to deal with the aftermath, so he makes a deal with Phyllis that surprises everyone. The Abbotts will probably have more trouble with this alliance as they try to get back to normal.

Matt Clark’s return may give way to a rivalry with Nick Dangerous

Matt Clark's return to Genoa City this week will cause a lot of conflict right away. He shows up late in the week, which means a big fight is about to happen. The long-standing feud between Matt and Nick is about to get very dangerous. The episode highlight for Friday confirms that the fight between Matt and Nick will take a turn for the worse. Matt's return is bad news for Nick, who will have to be careful to keep his family safe. This change in The Young and the Restless will move the focus from business drama to life-threatening situations, which could completely change Nick's life. Matt's being there will bring a new wave of trouble to Genoa City.

The Young and the Restless episodes are available to stream on CBS.
