The Young and the Restless (Y&R) recap for Tuesday, April 21, reveals that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) will meet with Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) to give him a warning about what’s ahead for Summers Conglomerate.
At the ranch, Victor and Victoria will explain part one of the plan, which involves paying a bunch of Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) remaining employees to walk away from the company.
Phyllis will lose most of her workforce soon according to Victoria.
From there, Victor will plan to use the new AI program that he had developed to go after Phyllis and reclaim Newman Enterprises.
This program will create criminal proof against Phyllis, including an exchange of shady communication between Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) while Phyllis was still in control of Chancellor.
Once Victor can blackmail Phyllis using illegal activities, he’ll feel like he can get Newman back by making prison the alternative.
Although Michael will fret over Victor potentially losing control of this new AI program, Victor won’t share those concerns.
Michael won’t want Lauren caught in the crossfire since she wasn’t part of Phyllis’ transgressions.
Victor will admit he’s giving Michael this heads-up so that he can convince Lauren to resign.
Once Michael leaves, Victoria will hint about Nikki Nweman (Melody Thomas Scott) needing to be there now that they’re getting the company back.
Victor will argue that Nikki doesn’t want to be there and act like the family will have to learn to adjust.
At the GCAC, Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) will catch up with Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) following his Barcelona trip and admit the DA is stepping down for health reasons.
Christine will also confess that she’s been asked to finish the DA’s term, so she’ll weigh the pros and cons of returning to the position.
Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) will eventually come along and hear the news about Christine possibly going back to the DA role.
That’ll leave Daniel wondering if Christine will have any influence over what happened with Mariah Copeland’s (Camryn Grimes) plea deal if she takes the gig.
Christine will admit that’s out of her hands since the decision will go before a panel of judges, but she’ll think Devon Winters’ (Bryton James) attempt to overturn the plea deal is a longshot anyway.
However, Christine will consider the possibility that Devon wants to push Mariah over the edge so that she lands in prison.
After Michael pops up on Tuesday’s Y&R episode, he’ll admit he recommended Christina to take over for the DA who’s resigning.
At the park cafe, Devon will have a huge fight with Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway), who’ll admit she’s never seen him like this.
Abby will wonder whether Devon wants to send Mariah so far off the rails that she lands behind bars, so Devon won’t think that’d be the worst result.
Since Abby will consider Mariah a friend, Devon will sarcastically suggest he should support his wife by inviting Mariah over to babysit Dominic Winters (Ethan Ray Clark).
Abby will call Devon out for acting like a jerk shortly before he stomps off, which Daniel will witness.
At Newman Enterprises, Phyllis will be feeling good since business is booming, but then emails will start pouring in from department heads about their immediate resignations.
More emails will come as Phyllis realizes most of the other employees are leaving as well.
That’ll leave Phyllis eager to pay top dollar for their replacements, but Lauren will have concerns and assume Victor’s cornered the market on that, too.
Once Lauren leaves, Phyllis will make phone calls and realize Victor has indeed gotten to many of the people she’d consider to replace all the departing employees.
After Lauren meets up with Michael, he’ll admit that Summers Conglomerate will soon cease to exist now that Victor’s plan is in motion.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Victor will do whatever it takes to put Newman Enterprises back in his hands, so stay tuned.
