The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, August 16, put Victor on his usual warpath, where the world needs to do what Victor says. Today it’s Nicholas.

Victor Wants to Take Down an Opponent

Victor (Eric Braeden) needs to bring down Cane (Billy Flynn) and Billy (Jason Thompson). Nick (Joshua Morrow), go do that! Adam (Mark Grossman) is falling down on the job, listening to Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), love-blinded fool that he is.

So it’s up to Nick to make his Papa proud and carry out Victor’s wishes. Victor will sit here in his chair and wait for Nick to return with good news. And it better be good news, you got that?

Daniel Makes a Confession

Danny (Michael Damian) is back in Genoa City, just in time for Daniel (Michael Graziadei) to make a confession: He sort of, kind of, maybe, who knows, it’s possible… be falling for Tessa (Cait Fairbanks).

They’ve been spending a lot of time together lately, playing guitar, talking about how Mariah (Camryn Grimes) is being weird. Daniel’s partner is dead. Daniel’s daughter is… who knows where? Daniel’s mother is… a force of nature. He’s anxious, on edge… and lonely. What’s he supposed to do with those feelings?

Tessa is still in love with Mariah. But if Mariah has really cut their connection for good….”?

Christine Needs a Favor

While Danny parents Daniel, Christine (Lauralee Bell) catches up with old friends. Like Lauren (Tracey Bregman). They’ve been through a lot together. They have an ex-husband in common. (That would be Paul [Doug Davidson], father of the dead Heather [Vail Bloom], who didn’t get to come to his kid’s funeral. Then again, he wasn’t part of her life growing up, so consider them even.)

Now, Christine has a favor to ask Lauren. Is it about Paul, Danny…. or Phyllis (Michelle Stafford)?
