Chelsea Tries to Tame the Victor-Beast

Chelsea ran smack into Nikki at Society and, like any good soap showdown, sparks flew. Nikki wanted to know if she should be buying a wedding gift for Chelsea and Adam already, but the real tea? It’s all about Victor—shocking, right? He’s using Newman Media like a sledgehammer to smash Billy, and Chelsea’s not here for it. She’s trying to pull strings behind the scenes, but Nikki reminds her: this isn’t about controlling Victor, it’s about handling Adam. And let’s be real—Adam’s been leashed, collared, and now ordered to “crush that SOB” by dear old Dad. Subtlety? Never heard of her.

Victor’s not just stirring the pot—he’s planning to dump the whole cauldron. He wants Adam to paint Billy as a complete disaster running Chancellor, just as the family heads to France to play international mind games with Mr. Aristotle Dumas. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s scrambling for leverage to keep Billy safe and Adam sane. But Nikki’s got her beat at her own game: what do you have that Victor actually wants?

Adam’s Daddy Drama Hits a Boiling Point

Adam’s barely keeping it together. Between flashbacks of promising Chelsea he wouldn’t use Newman Media for a smear campaign and Victor's relentless barking orders, he’s stuck in a full-blown identity crisis. His phone call tantrums are peaking, and Sharon possibly cozying up to Nick? Not helping. He says he’s fine. He’s not fine. Adam’s trying to walk a tightrope—appeasing Victor while avoiding a full-on war with Billy—but Victor’s demanding loyalty in blood. The man literally told his son to take Billy out like he’s ordering takeout.

While Adam’s reeling, Chelsea’s playing mediator and secret dealmaker. She’s even got a sit-down planned with Victor at Crimson Lights—because apparently nothing says “high-stakes negotiation” like a cappuccino. Adam, of course, thinks this is all about unresolved feelings for Billy. Jealous much?

Billy’s All-In—and Dragging Sally With Him

Billy, meanwhile, is treating this like an international spy thriller with a side of French luxury. He’s convinced this trip is the key to launching Abbott Communications into another galaxy. Sally’s trying to be the voice of reason—bless her—but Billy’s too hyped about revealing who Dumas really is. Even Chelsea’s calling him out—hello, the man ghosted you! Billy brushes it off with a shrug and a grin. Plausible deniability, baby.

Sally’s nervous. Billy promises her the trip will be fabulous—unless it’s not, in which case they’ll grab beach towels and bounce. He even swears off drama with Phyllis (for now). But with Victor assembling his own shady Avengers team and planning secret maneuvers in Nice, Billy might be walking straight into a trap with a cocktail in hand.

Nikki Knows the Game, Chelsea Learns the Rules

Over cocktails and confrontations, Nikki tries to school Chelsea in Newman 101. Victor doesn’t negotiate; he devours. But Chelsea’s not giving up without trying to outfox the fox. Nikki floats the idea of offering Victor something “more valuable than revenge.” No pressure, right?

Victor’s already sniffed out that Billy is Dumas’ only contact, and without him, the whole operation crumbles. So now, Chelsea has a plan: offer up something Victor can’t resist. Adam’s not impressed and demands to know why she’s risking everything. Is it loyalty? Guilt? Unresolved feelings? All of the above? Chelsea just wants to stop the generational carnage before Connor and Johnny end up dueling over who got the better inheritance.

Final Note (Because Let’s Be Honest, It’s Never Over)

As the gang gears up for their French rendezvous, Chelsea’s ready to bargain, Adam’s trapped in Daddy’s dungeon, and Billy’s rolling the dice with a sparkle in his eye. If things go sideways—and let’s be honest, they will—Sally wants a beach exit strategy, and Billy swears he’ll know when to fold ‘em. But when it comes to The Young and the Restless, walking away is never that simple.
