How Will the Abbotts Counter Victor’s Revenge Plan?

The battle between the Newmans and the Abbotts is heating up on The Young and the Restless, and Victor Newman is far from backing down. The Young and the Restless’ April 17 episode saw Victor Newman step up his revenge campaign, leaving the Abbotts scrambling to protect their legacy. But Jack and Kyle Abbott aren’t going down without a fight — they’ve got a counterattack in motion, and it’s as risky as it is bold.

The Abbotts’ plan to counter Victor Newman in The Young and the Restless explained
With Victor refusing to back down in The Young and the Restless, the Abbotts realize that playing it safe is no longer an option. Jack and Kyle make the daring decision to use Elliot Matthison as a double agent. They hope he can infiltrate Newman’s inner circle and feed them information. The plan could give them the edge they desperately need, but it’s a high-stakes move. If Elliot is exposed, the consequences could be disastrous for the Abbott family.
Despite the risks, the Abbotts know that staying passive would only invite more destruction from Victor. His grudge isn’t just personal — it’s strategic, and Jack is determined to stay one step ahead. Meanwhile, Jack pulls Diane Jenkins deeper into the Abbott family’s inner circle.
Their intense strategy session suggests Diane may finally gain Jack’s complete trust, making her place in the Abbott dynasty. But with Victor’s unpredictability, Diane’s newfound security could be short-lived. On the other hand, Nikki Newman is caught in the crossfire. She is torn between her loyalty to Victor and her concern for the Abbotts, especially Kyle and Claire.
In The Young and the Restless, Victor’s refusal to compromise weighs heavily on her, leaving her emotionally drained. Will she continue to stand by Victor or take a stand against his ruthless tactics?
