'Young And The Restless' Spoilers: Will Victor’s Plan Kill Nikki?

He is the reason his wife managed to wake up from her coma and seemed like she would make a full recovery from a hit-and-run accident that nearly killed her. However, Victor’s plan to keep Nikki safe from an enemy he feels is targeting her could instead wind up having a negative impact on her health and safety.

Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) shocked her loved ones when she woke up, and she swore Victor (Eric Braden) had been there to see her, though no one could prove it on the CBS soap since he was never seen. However, what was even more shocking than Nikki waking up was what happened next—as Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) discovered that their mother had disappeared.

Now, as they search for her, it appears that whoever took her is putting her at severe risk, as “Y&R” spoilers tease that “Nikki’s life hangs in the balance.”

As it turns out, the person who took her will, of course, be Victor, who confronted Nate (Brooks Darnell) and asked him to move Nikki elsewhere for her own safety. Victor feared that whoever had hit Nikki with their car was someone who may be trying to come after him by targeting his wife, and he wanted her moved before they could go after her again.

His plan will have a major flaw, however, because not only will moving Nikki cause her to relapse and put her life in danger once again, but the person who did hit her with the car wasn’t attacking her. Their own grandson, Reed (Tristan Lake Leabu) was behind the wheel of the car and didn’t know he had struck his own grandmother until later.

Now, the race will be on once again to save Nikki—if anyone can figure out where she is.

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