It’s almost easy for The Young and the Restless fans to forget that before Clarie (Erin Hayley) and Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) launched their plan of attack against Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and the rest of the Newmans, one of the biggest end-of-the-year storylines was Victor (Eric Braeden) faking his health decline to test the loyalty of his children and employees. A test that Nate (Sean Dominic) ultimately failed and resulted in his firing as the Newman Enterprises COO.
Following his ousting, Nate finally agreed with Mamie (Veronic Redd) that it was time to return to Chancellor-Winters. However, given the bad blood between Nate, Lily (Christel Khalil) and Devon (Bryton James), the pathway to this corporate family reunion is a difficult one.
