On the May 23 episode of The Young and the Restless, Nikki triumphantly returned home, but Victor wasn’t around. He was downstairs with Jordan, of course. She seems so health, but Victor’s big lie is bound to doom Nikki.

Back And Health, But For How Long?

Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) went to see Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Claire (Hayley Erin) at the tack house, and she was so full of hope. She seemed healthy and happy. Meanwhile, Victor (Eric Braeden) realized somebody had visited Jordan (Colleen Zenk), but the crazy woman didn’t tell him who. Of course, he probably realizes it was Cole (J. Eddie Peck).

At the same time, Cole was at Society telling Michael (Christian Le Blanc) all about what he found in Victor’s wine cellar jail. The two men worked to devise a plan to get Jordan out of Victor’s hands and into the authorities’ hands, which is going to be difficult.

When Victor found Nikki at the tack house, she told him how commited she was to her sobriety. She seemed on top of the world. Unfortunately for her, Victor’s huge lie about Jordan is about to come out, and that will no doubt send her spiraling.

We suspect Nikki will fall hard and fast right off the wagon when news that Jordan is still alive becomes public. It’s so hard to see her doing so well, knowing what a big lie Victor is hiding. Now that Victor realizes it’s probably Cole who knows Jordan is alive, he’s going to try to keep his secret under wraps, but it’s really too late since Michael knows.
