The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) will remain locked up at the lake house, where she’s being loaded with alcohol and tormented over Claire Grace’s (Hayley Erin) mysterious actions.

Of course, Claire has assured Nikki that everything will be revealed soon.

Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) will eventually explain the whole ugly story and let Nikki know exactly why she’s paying the price right now.

However, you can bet the great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will have a similar idea when it comes to making these two enemies pay the price.

Both Claire and Aunt Jordan could face a tough downfall by the end of all this.

Y&R fans will recall that Claire tricked Nikki with her nice act and ultimately lured her to the lake house under false pretenses.

Now Nikki’s been drugged and given booze to sabotage her sobriety, so Victor’s going to be furious when he finally gets updates on the chaos.

Poor Nikki has been frantically trying to escape, but she always ends up right back in that bed sooner or later.

Things will start to feel increasingly hopeless for Nikki now that she’s fallen off the wagon.

It wasn’t on purpose, but this is still going to affect Nikki’s self-esteem.

Nikki will just keep sinking further and further into this pit of despair, so she’ll feel like a truly broken woman by the time Victor becomes part of this story.

Aunt Jordan has big plans for Nikki’s family and perhaps wants them all to have a front-row seat to her demise.

Nikki obviously isn’t going to face a grim fate, but she’s still suffered a terrible ordeal and is in desperate need of a rescue.

Once Victor is reunited with Nikki, he’ll want to make sure she’s safe and put her on the road to recovery.

It may be tough for Nikki to get her sobriety back on track, but Victor will do whatever it takes to get her healthy and happy again.

Claire is following Aunt Jordan’s orders, but she’s definitely got a mind of her own and has to accept responsibility for her actions.

Aunt Jordan wouldn’t have been able to pull this off without Claire, so that’s important to keep in mind.

Nevertheless, Aunt Jordan is the ringleader who may pay the steepest price once Victor finds out the news about Nikki’s worst nightmare!

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Victor’s vengeful side may come out after he learns what Claire and Aunt Jordan have done, so stay tuned.
