The Young & the Resltess Jaw-Droppers

The Young & the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, April 25, promises shocking life decisions and startling news.  Watch for an edge-of-your-seat episode!

At Vicky’s (Amelia Heinle) house, Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) grills the Newman about Paul’s visit and the contents of the tablet.  The redhead is on high alert when she learns Victor (Eric Braden) had Vicky’s house outfitted with a camera in the living room.

If he had a camera in one room, what would prevent him from installing other cameras throughout her house?

Elsewhere, Nick (Joshua Morrow) drops by Victor and Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) place to prepare for a meeting with Jack and Arturo about their new business venture.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon (Sharon Case) spies a depressed Reed (Tristan Lake Lebeau) sulking in the corner.  When she finally gets the teenager to open up, he makes a heartbreaking admission.

At Jabot, Jack (Peter Bergman) assigns Billy (Jason Thompson) all the top level management tasks and Kyle (Michael Mealor) nothing important.  The young Abbott is upset and lashes out.  Billy shuts him down.

Over at Crimson Lights, Reed’s admission breaks Sharon’s heart.  J.T. (Thad Luckinbill) worked so hard to reconnect with Reed, and suddenly he disappears.  Reed is heartbroken, and there is nothing Sharon or anyone can do about it.  The only person he wants to see is his father, and Sharon knows Reed will never experience that again.

Back at the Ranch, Victor crumbles.  In a moment of absolute honesty, the Newman patriarch bears his soul to Nick.

Over at Jabot, Jack’s punishment of Kyle ends when he gives his trouble son a break.  The younger Abbott can handle some top-level assignments, under the watchful eyes of Billy.  Eager to please, Kyle agrees!

Later, Kyle sees Ravi and dashes over to him.  He wants to the techie to help him crack a certain memory card.

Elsewhere, Billy stops by to see Reed at Crimson Lights, and the teenager drops a bomb on him!  He has a life-changing plan.  Billy is beyond shocked.

Back at the ranch, Nick and Victor have patched things up.  Victor wants to know if Paul has found J.T.  Nikki updates him that the criminal has disappeared.

Suddenly, Victor makes a stunning confession to Nick.  Nikki is beyond heartbroken and tries to stop Victor, but it’s too late.  Nick is shellshocked.  J.T. abused Victoria and Victor has the videotape to prove it!  Enraged by the news, Nick swears he will kill J.T. himself when the double-crossing abuser comes back to town.

However, Nick’s personal vendettas are forced aside when Jack and Arturo arrive to discuss the business venture.

At Jabot, Ravi assesses the memory card and gives Kyle the green light on the task.  He can do it.

Elsewhere, Billy takes Reed back home to give Vicky the bad news.  When Vicky hears about Reed’s wishes, she crumbles.  It takes everything in Vicky to hold her composure.

At the Ranch, the business meeting ends, and everyone leaves except Arturo.  Nikki holds him back to discuss some logistical issues.

Back at Vicky’s house, Reed lists all of the reasons why leaving Genoa City for a music school is better for him than living in town, constantly reminded about his father, J.T.  the harried  mother tries to counter his reasons, but Reed has made up his mind.  He wants to know:  will she let him go?

At Jabot, Billy and Phyllis have a sweet moment in the elevator.

In the meantime, Nick returns home, and Sharon notices he is very disturbed by something.  Eventually, Nick spills all to Sharon.  He is on a mission to find J.T. and bring him to justice for all the horrific things he did to Vicky and to Victor!  Sharon is shocked he knows about the abuse, and panics when she realizes Nick won’t stop until he finds J.T.!

Elsewhere, Nikki wants Arturo’s advice on certain building ‘plans.’  It’s obvious she still has feelings for Arturo.  Soon enough, the two have fallen back into old habits.  Victor watches the entire interaction from afar.

Back at Vicky’s house, she decides on Reed’s future in Genoa City:  he can leave.  Thrilled, Reed happily tells his mother he’ll text his father the news.  Maybe J.T. will respond!  Sadly, Vicky knows the awful truth and is beyond heartbroken for Reed.
