By the end of The Young and the Restless episode airing on January 28, Ian (Ray Wise) got the upper hand on Victor (Eric Braeden), Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Michael (Christian LeBlanc) when he stole a gun from a Newman security guard. Weaponized, Ian thinks he’s in control and is determined to go out with a bang.
After knocking out the security guard in the episode airing on January 29, Ian directs his attention to Victor and Nick. Ian demands that Victor contact the rest of his children and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and direct them to join them. Victor doesn’t want his other family members brought into this, but Ian insists Victor calls them or he’ll shoot Nick. Although Nick tells Victor not to do it, shockingly Victor calls Adam (Mark Grossman) and makes it appear he contacts Abby (Melissa Ordway), although he doesn’t actually call his youngest. When Adam arrives, he’s horrified to see his father and brother being held hostage.
