Young and the Restless 2-Week Spoilers for July 20 – 31, 2026 begin with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) spiraling. And when he sees an ex-wife doing something very sketchy, he may actually relapse. Also, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is scrambling with threats to her business in a tempting offer that could save her.
Also, during the two weeks of July 20th through the 31st, we’re going to see Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) get her bandages off and we find out if her eyesight is working. There’s a big secret that Jill Abbott (Lauren Koslow) is keeping and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) is going all out for family. Let’s get right to it.
Young and the Restless: Matt’s Departure and Newman Family Drama
On Monday, July 20th, we have got Matt Clark (Roger Howorth) telling Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun), Nick and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), that he is leaving town. Noah lectures him on forgiveness and Matt snaps that Noah slept with his wife and never apologized. Then Nick gets in Matt’s face and asks what is his next move. Matt wants to leave Genoa City, make a life, find somebody to love. Sounds nice. Sharon wants Matt gone and she offers to help him pack.
Matt doubts that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will let him go, but Nick says he’ll take care of that. And Sienna agrees it’s best for everybody if Matt leaves town. He wishes Sienna and Noah good luck with the Shadow Room. Says sorry for all the pain he caused. And Matt walks out.
Y&R Spoilers: Victor Rages
Meanwhile, Nikki asks Victor if he’d even be speaking to her if she wasn’t blind. Nikki knows he’s furious that she went to see Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) in the hospital. And Nikki tells Victor that Jack is her friend, but he tells Nikki she’s got to cut Jack out of her life. Nikki claps back about him letting Matt live on the ranch and then treating her best friend like this. Nikki walks away but stops to tell Victor she’ll always love him despite what he has done.
He’s mad and that’s when Matt shows up to tell Victor he can’t get the dirt on Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and just wants to leave Genoa City. Victor says no and then he threatens him. Matt says the rest of his family wants him gone. Walks out and then Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) meets up with Matt after he leaves the new ranch very upset and he’s telling Phyllis he just wants to leave town. He is tired of being emotionally kicked and always being the villain. But Phyllis also refuses to let Matt go, just like Victor.
Young and Restless Spoilers: Adam’s Shocking Offer
Elsewhere, Sally is looking at nursery paint colors as Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) strolls up. He reminds her the color that she was going to paint their baby Ava’s nursery. And then Adam proposes a plan to take care of Newman Media so that Victor won’t try and destroy her and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver).
Adam says that Victor will never take Sally’s offer to sell to him. So, Adam suggests that he will secretly pay her for Newman Media. Sally will sign it over to him and then Adam will tell Victor that he yanked it away from her just like his dad wants to do. And Adam says Victor will think he won. And Sally asks why Adam is willing to risk his father’s eye over this. And he says Victor shut him out of Newman Enterprises.
So, he promises Sally that only her and Audra and him and Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) will know about this deal. Sally doesn’t want to owe Adam, but he says he’s the one who owes Sally, and he always will. It’s very sweet. I miss them together as a couple.
Across town, Noah checks on Sharon, who wishes that Nick would just let Victor handle Matt because Sharon’s afraid that this is too much on Nick and he may relapse. Victor and Nick talk about Matt wanting to leave town, and Victor asks Nick if he was in charge of Matt’s fate, what would it be?
Young and the Restless: Markham Search and Nikki’s Medical Appointment
Then on Tuesday, July 21st, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) share secrets with each other. And I wonder if Kyle drops the bombshell that Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) rolled over on Victor and is going to give the DA evidence that her dad orchestrated all of this madness done to Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Jack. We don’t know if that’s the deal that Kyle made with Patty. I know it’s the deal he wants. So maybe we’ll find out that he made it happen.
And speaking of them, Diane is thrilled that Jack is now at home, but he’s still recovering. But at least Diane gets to cuddle with him. And she wants loose ends tied up, particularly with Dr. Markham. She wants that guy behind bars so she can breathe.
So, Diane presses Traci about Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins), who of course is Tracy’s sociopathic ex. Diane thinks Martin may have a clue how to find Markham, who had tons of Alan Laurent (also Christopher Cousins) books on his shelves. But Traci tells Diane that Martin will never talk to her. But Traci admits that Martin would talk to her. And of course, Traci never wanted to lay eyes on that creep again, but she is willing to do it for Diane. So, we’ll have scenes of Christopher Cousins as Martin talking with Traci soon.
Y&R Spoilers: Victor Makes Nikke a Promise
Then on Wednesday, July 22nd, Victor promises Nikki something as she is up at the doctor’s office. Victor’s there with her. The doctor takes off Nikki’s bandages and then Victor holds her hand and the doctor says to Nikki, “It’s time to open your eyes.” I would be shocked if she can see. There should be more to this story. Phyllis is watching Matt like a hawk. Phyllis does not want Matt to leave Genoa City, and she may tempt him to stay by seducing him on Young and the Restless.
Because this week, Phyllis has Matt in her room at the GCAC. She’s in sexy blue satin pajamas that are practically falling off of her as she flirts. And we know that Nick is going to catch Matt and Phyllis in a compromising position soon. And that could be what sends him spiraling back to drugs. Also, it’s just gross to see a woman seducing a man who assaulted her friend. I’m sorry. It’s awful. Josh Griffith needs therapy.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nick Fesses Up
Thursday, July 23rd, Nick makes a confession to Sharon, and I wonder if it’s Nick saying out loud, actually confirming that he wants Matt dead. Then again, Nick may tell Sharon that he popped a pill and needs a meeting. Sally and Audra consider their options. I’m sure Sally’s going to run to Audra and tell her about Adam’s offer. They may feel like they have no choice but to accept.
Chelsea and Adam try to impress Victor with a power move they are planning. I expect Adam and Chelsea to lie and to tell Victor that he’s right. They need to get back Newman Media, but they’re going to take care of it. They’re going to snatch it from Sally. They’re going to be ruthless. I am guessing that Victor will be skeptical about their reversal of attitude.
Young and the Restless: Secrets and Health Crises
Then on Friday, July 24th, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sally find out Jill’s keeping a secret from them. Could be about business with Victor. Maybe she’s investing in Chancellor to help Cane or it could be something about her heart condition and Billy finds out his mom is dying.
And if Cane finds out first, Billy will have a meltdown. We also have Cane driving a hard bargain with somebody on Friday. Could be about Billy and the whole deal for him to work at Chancellor or it could be something fun and flirty with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) because they are sparking every time they’re together these days.
Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) find common ground. I’m sure that’s about Abigail and Dominic. And I wonder if Devon will open up to Ashley about his anger issues. Maybe he’ll get some good advice from his mother-in-law.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nick Pushed Over the Edge?
Then the week of July 27th through the 31st, we could see Nick popping some pills because he’s ramping up to deliver the fate that he and Victor agreed Matt should face. Nick seeing his ex-wife Phyllis in Matt’s arms might push him over the edge towards violence and possibly also drugs. We’ll find out more about Jill’s big secret and how it’s going to affect Billy and Cane and many others. Sally and Audra let Adam know what they decided about his sneaky scheme to trick Victor.
And Tracy’s probably going to have some PTSD after having to see her ex-fiancé Martin. And we’ll find out if he has any idea where to find Dr. Markham or if he knows that his dead brother Alan Laurent and Dr. Markham perhaps knew each other. I also expect Ashley to leave town again now that Jack is on the road to recovery. We’ll find out if Kyle cut a devil’s bargain with Patty that will make Victor face consequences at last. And we’ll get more on Nikki’s health struggle and find out the extent of what Victor did with Patty and whether Nikki can live with that or not.
