Next week in The Young and the Restless, Genoa City braces itself for a tidal wave of secrets, suspicion, and stunning betrayals. As the lines between justice and revenge blur, Traci Abbott finds herself spiraling into a dark obsession that could shatter everything she holds dear. Convinced that Martin Lauron—masquerading as Alan—was behind the shocking kidnappings of Phyllis Summers and Sharon Newman, Traci devises a daring, dangerous plan. Her goal? Expose him… or destroy him. The intensity builds as she hides her growing fears behind a glass of whiskey and a steely resolve. But is her pursuit of the truth veering into deadly territory?

Diane Abbott is horrified when she learns what Traci’s planning and fears the consequences could be catastrophic. Diane believes Martin may be more dangerous than anyone realizes—always a step ahead, manipulating the board like a master chess player. With Traci’s plan set in motion, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Martin fall into her trap, or will he turn the tables in a shocking twist?

Meanwhile, Victor Newman is quietly playing his own strategic game. He invites Audra Charles for drinks under the guise of casual conversation, only to propose a deeper, more insidious plan—using her to take down Kyle Abbott. Audra’s response leaves fans breathless: “Suppose I wanted revenge—what would I get in return?” Their flirtation with vengeance could shake the foundation of the Newman and Abbott empires.

In another stunning development, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin reaches out to Nikki Newman, hinting at betrayal from within. With Michael Baldwin’s safety at risk due to “The Mustache’s” shady dealings, Nikki may face the ultimate test of loyalty.

As secrets unravel and alliances teeter, Genoa City prepares for a week where no one is safe—and nothing is what it seems.
