The Young and the Restless (Y&R) recap for Tuesday, January 21, reveals that Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) will get a phone call from Jordan (Colleen Zenk), who’ll remain suspicious of her change of heart. Jordan will hint about working with an accomplice and suggest that things could turn out badly for someone Claire knows if she’s lying.
Claire will agree to meet with Jordan again and offer updates to Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) as well as Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) before she goes.
Once Victoria is alone with Nikki, she’ll fret over how cold and calculating Claire was about plotting to kill Jordan.
Both Nikki and Victoria will hope that in the end, Claire won’t be able to go through with it.
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will pop up and feel like he’s being kept out of the loop on something, but Nikki will manage to cover.
After Victor mentions the security footage of the person who kidnapped Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), he’ll admit Ian Ward’s (Ray Wise) potential accomplice seemed familiar.
The wheels will start turning for Nikki, who’ll wonder if Victor could tell if this person was a man or a woman.
Victor won’t know for sure and will question why Nikki would ask that, but she’ll keep the Jordan truth under wraps.
After Victor leaves Victoria and Nikki to keep talking, he’ll pause on the staircase and continue to look suspicious.
Meanwhile, Claire will think back to telling Jordan off during a prison visit.
On Tuesday’s Y&R episode, Claire will vow not to let Jordan manipulate her ever again before meeting up with her in the park.
Jordan will struggle to trust Claire when she hands over her usual tea order, but Claire will insist it’s not poisoned.
Claire will also claim she’s been playing the Newmans all along and that she’ll always been an outsider in their eyes.
After Claire suggests the Newmans only wanted to give the illusion of accepting her, she’ll act like she embraced the name change for nefarious reasons.
Now that Claire is legally a Newman, she’ll point out that means she’ll get a sizable inheritance when a tragic fate befalls her mother.
Claire will pitch Jordan on the idea of killing Victoria and skipping off with the money so they can live a wonderful life together.
That way, the Newmans will be left grieving while Jordan and Claire restore their bond.
Jordan will tear up and wonder if Claire would really sacrifice her mother for her, but Claire will argue that Victoria will never truly be her mom.
Claire will play up her connection with Jordan instead, so her charade will seemingly win Jordan over.
Later, Claire will return to Victoria and Nikki at the ranch, where she’ll admit she convinced Jordan by claiming she was ready to kill Victoria.
Next, Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) will give Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) news on Sharon’s car being spotted on surveillance footage at the Riverbank Motel before it went in the river.
Since that’s where Ian has been staying, Nick will view this as proof that he’s connected to Sharon’s snatching.
Chance and Nick will end up searching Ian’s motel room, but it’ll seem like he’s moved out.
However, Chance will spot a glass with lipstick on it and suggest testing it along with the wine bottle on the table.
That’ll leave Chance and Nick hoping for a DNA match in the system.
Although Chance will prepare to call about a warrant to search the other rooms for Sharon, Nick will start searching now and insist he doesn’t care if the motel or guests sue him.
Later, Jordan will appear at the door and eavesdrop on Chance’s phone conversation about getting that Riverbank Motel search warrant, so she’ll take off in a hurry.
