'Young And The Restless' Spoilers: Victoria Attempts To Help Nikki

She has now learned just who was responsible for the anomaly in her father's accounts that has led to a major investigation. Now. In an attempt to try and help her mother, Victoria will attempt a sneaky move on the Friday, Dec. 15 episode of "The Young and the Restless."

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) learned that Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) was the one who transferred funds out of Victor's (Eric Braden) account and put them in an offshore bank, so she could stop him from developing condos in Chancellor Park. Victoria was stunned after realizing what Nikki had done, but has since vowed to help her any way she can on the CBS soap. Both women know that if Nikki is found out, it could mean she'll be sent off to prison.

Now, Victoria will seek legal help from Michael (Christian LeBlanc), to see what can be done to help, but the only thing that can potentially be useful is the fact that Nikki and Victor are still married, even though they don't live together. Victoria will be afraid that their being legally bound to one another won't help keep anything from happening, and will decide to seek advice elsewhere as a result.

Victoria will then turn to Billy (Jason Thompson) for advice, asking how she can make the audit, and her other ex, JT (Thad Luckinbill), both go away. Billy will strongly hint that she should do anything possible, and Victoria will quickly catch on that he means she should attempt to seduce JT, in the hopes that it will distract him enough to get him to no longer focus on the case.

Desperate to do whatever she can to protect her mother, both from jail and her father's wrath, Victoria will set her sights on JT, and decide to ask him over for a glass of wine. Things will initially go well in terms of conversation—but when Victoria brings up the audit, it could help JT realize she knows who he's looking for, and she could win up making things worse for Nikki as a result.

"The Young and the Restless" airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
