Any fan of The Young and the Restless probably predicted Victor’s (Eric Braeden) children getting in line one way or the other with his latest requests. He’s been pressing Victoria (Amelia Heinle) for weeks to return to Newman Enterprises to run the company alongside Nick (Joshua Morrow). Although she initially denied her father's wishes, wanting to spend time with Claire (Hayley) and be there when her youngest two children met their big sister, The Mustache wore his daughter down and she’s headed back to work.
Then there’s Adam (Mark Grossman). Victor pitched to him that his son return to Newman Media on a "temporary basis" to replace Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) as she continues her recovery. Adam was naturally skeptical about his father’s motives and wanted to know what the Newman patriarch was up to. The younger Newman even went so far as to tell Victor he was unwilling to step in at Newman Media until Victor revealed his hand.
