It appears someone has the Newmans in mind when it comes to causing them some trouble, and now, as a major fire continues to burn at the stables on the ranch, more terrible news will come Nikki’s way on the Tuesday, Dec. 4 episode of “The Young and the Restless.”

Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) was floored when she got word that the stables at the Newman ranch were on fire, and she and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) watched as the building burned on the CBS soap. It became clear that something was happening, but they didn’t know what. Now, as more bad news continues to come in, they will realize that someone is set on once again attacking their family in the worst way.

“The Newmans are targeted,” spoilers tease.

Not only will they learn that the fire at the stables was deliberately set, but they will also get disturbing news regarding Victor (Eric Braden), who has been away in Singapore on business—but now appears to have gone MIA, with no ability to contact him working. Nikki will begin to fear the worst, as her husband seems to be clearly missing.

This isn’t the first time an attack has hit the Newman family this year, but this one will seem more threatening than the last time since Nick (Joshua Morrow) was behind their computer servers being hacked and the threats that appeared to be coming from JT (Thad Luckinbill).

Of course, this one will also seem worse for Nikki and Victoria because of the recent developments regarding JT’s death. While they know Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) was the one who blackmailed them for cash, they still don’t know who moved JT’s body from the grave at Chancellor Park—nor do they know if he himself is still somehow alive.

The recent strife in their lives could be a direct result of their own crimes they’ve been covering up for so long—but for now, all they can do is wait and hope that nothing bad has happened to Victor because of them.

“The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. EDT on CBS.
