‘Young And The Restless’ Spoilers: Nick Is Appalled By Victor’s Request

He has disowned his father after realizing the role he played in his brother’s death, but Nick will be left stunned when Victor makes an unexpected request of him on the Thursday, May 18 episode of “The Young and the Restless.”

After witnessing Victor (Eric Braden) help Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) escape town when she was outed as having murdered Adam in the cabin explosion, Nick (Joshua Morrow) realized his father was Chloe’s accomplice all along when it came to Adam being framed for Constance Bingham’s murder and everything else he suffered through ahead of his death. As a result on the CBS soap, he, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) have all disowned him, but are keeping that fact, and what he did, to themselves so it doesn’t destroy their own reputations as well.

One of the people who doesn’t know that Nick knows the truth about Chloe’s accomplice is Adam’s widow, and Nick’s current girlfriend, Chelsea (Melissa Clare Egan), who has now made it her mission to find out who helped Chloe escape town and get out of the country. Unaware that Victor is the last person she should be seeking advice from, she will go to him first, clutching the fake passports he provided to her and Adam so they could skip town the night he died. Hopeful for answers, she will ask him if the same guy he hired to create those could have helped Chloe out, but will be discouraged when Victor reports back to her that it isn’t the case.
