The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers recap for Monday, February 12, reveals that Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will arrive at the ranch and see that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) is looking rough, so Nikki will admit to her latest stumble in sobriety.
When talk turns to Jordan (Colleen Zenk), Nikki will insist she knows an alive Jordan escaped since she’s been getting more phone calls – including the latest one with stripper music.
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will question if Nikki could’ve imagined it, but Nikki will be adamant about what she heard and complain about her family trying to keep her in the dark on the fire situation.
Nikki will also confess to Victoria and Victor that she bought a bottle of vodka and hid it. Since it’ll be gone, Victor will confirm that he had his people do a sweep of the house.
Nikki will know she needs to be strong enough to withstand temptation on her own, but Victoria will insist there’s no rush and will offer support along with Victor.
Once Nikki heads to bed, she’ll dream that she’s drinking booze as a vagrant somewhere and wake up startled.
Back with Victoria, she’ll mention Claire Grace’s (Hayley Erin) recollection of Jordan saying a fire could be the ultimate distraction.
Victor will make it clear that he’ll do everything in his power to protect Nikki and his family.
At the Abbott mansion, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) will find out that Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) talked to the rest of the waitstaff and got confirmation that they also witnessed Tucker McCall’s (Trevor St. John) version of events.
Ashley will start ranting about Tucker paying of the whole restaurant, but Traci will admit she offered to pay double any bribe Tucker made if they’d just tell the truth.
Not one person took Traci up on the offer, so they all stood their ground on it being an argument with no smashed glasses or thrown chairs.
Ashley will act like maybe they were threatened by Tucker and will become increasingly upset over Traci, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters) not believing her version of events.
After Ashley flies into a rage over her own family betraying her, she’ll act like they’re trying to make her question her sanity and will storm out.
Diane will think it’s best to let Ashley cool off and will suggest that whole confrontation was counterproductive.
Although Diane will think it’s important to focus on Ashley’s decision to get away from Tucker, Traci will feel like the truth is necessary for Ashley to get closure.
Later, Jack will answer Nikki’s call and offer comfort over her rotten day. Now that Victor knows Jack is Nikki’s sponsor, Jack will offer to come over anytime as Diane looks uneasy nearby.
In Tucker’s suite, he’ll assure Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) that he only wants to know Ashley’s whereabouts so he can avoid her, but she’ll understandably doubt that’s true.
Audra will think it’s unrealistic for Tucker to expect to avoid Ashley since they’re bound to run into her at times.
After Audra cools down, Tucker will insist she’s the woman he wants and will call her his best friend before they start kissing. Ashley will bang on the door and demand that Tucker open it, but he’ll ignore her.
Next on Monday’s Y&R episode, Ashley will guzzle a drink at the GCAC and text Tucker that she needs to see him immediately. Tucker won’t see Ashley’s text since he’ll be busy in bed with Audra.
At Society, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) will give Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) some even worse news from Connor Newman’s (Judah Mackey) school since his teachers say he’s struggling to focus in every class.
There’ll be concerns about Connor having a processing disorder and some worries about him washing his hands and using sanitizer constantly as well.
Billy will wonder if maybe Connor’s concerned about getting sick and falling even further behind, so Chelsea will mention that Connor’s going to see the on-campus therapist.
After Billy offers a pep talk, he’ll reflect on his heated encounter with Tucker and get Chelsea laughing over his impression of him.
Billy will also admit that Tucker talked about him being power hungry and hinted about him going after Jabot to make it part of Chancellor-Winters.
Although Billy will act like that’s out of the question, he’ll feel like Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) needs to be more represented and will think Abbott-Winters would be a more appropriate company name.
Chelsea will point out that the Chancellor name is at the core and pays tribute to Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), so Billy will realize she has a point.
Billy will settle on ACW for Abbott-Chancellor-Winters and will become increasingly convinced this is a good idea, so Chelsea will think he’s trying to stake his claim.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Billy is setting himself up for more Devon Hamilton-Winters (Bryton James) feuding, so stay tuned for updates on all the conflict!
