The New and the Restless 2 Week Spoilers Feb 23-Mar 6: Cane Begs for Mercy and Nikki Spirals into Panic
The Young and the Restless Spoilers for Week 2 of February 23-March 06, 2026 reveal a pleading Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and a terrified Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).
The Young and the Restless Pirates: Noah and Audra Remember
On Monday, February 23, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) raced each other at GCAC until Noah landed Audra’s dream job. Newman Media stolen from his family. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) joins the conversation and admits that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) have karma coming their way.
Noah insists that Victor didn’t deserve all of this, but Kyle suggests a show to celebrate. Audra agrees and Noah storms out while Kyle and Audra smile at being on the same side for once. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) wonder if Victor left Genoa City to pursue Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). Then Nick shuts down Victoria’s plans to arm Phyllis’ children against her.
Y&R Spoilers: Victoria Will Not Quit
Victoria insists and Nick finally says, “Wait and see what Victor has done.” Nick also says that Phyllis feels that everything she did was for a reason, so she won’t back down. I think that is an accurate reading. But Nick is a drunk and super cold and says that Victor can take care of all this.
But Victoria thinks that Victor is too depressed and will be sloppy. Meanwhile, you’re talking to the person who’s the worst in the family right now because Nick is high on fentanyl. Victoria pushes more and Nick finally agrees to consider Phyllis’ plan and let her know.
Sally and Chelsea Spar in The Young and the Restless
Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) blasts Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) for Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Phyllis. Chelsea tries a number of manipulative tactics, including guilt over taking Newman Media from Adam and that if Chelsea and Sally work together, they can stop this and it can save Billy from himself.
So, Sally has to guide Chelsea and tell her that she and Billy are done. It’s over. Also, Sally has no sympathy for the Newmans. And when Chelsea tries to threaten her, Sally interrupts and says, “Don’t try to fool me,” and tells Chelsea that she has become a true Newman.
Y&R Spoilers: Victor Newman Returns and Phyllis Summers Faces Family Fallout
On Tuesday, February 24, Victor is back in town, but he doesn’t know where he’s been or what he’s been doing. Nikki wants to know, but Victor isn’t telling. I suspect he went to see Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and things probably didn’t go well. Victor may have been asking for more time to allow Cane to keep him scared and motivated to return the goods.
Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Victoria have a warm moment. We might finally get some of those sparks we’ve been waiting for. There is very little love Y&R recently. Did you realize that it is just endless nonsense? No lovey-dovey stuff.
The Young and the Restless spoilers: Phyllis Gets Out of Daniel
Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) ended in Crimson Lights and Phyllis angrily scolds Daniel and swears that she will never forgive him for this. Now, whatever “this” is, we’ll see. I wonder if Phyllis tried to go see Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) and Daniel warned her sister and Summer locked her out.
Whatever it is, Daniel doesn’t care and takes revenge on his mother, Phyllis. Then Daniel cuts Phyllis out of his life. He doesn’t want her there. Steal Newman Media. You are conspiring with Cane and now Billy, you are doing dirty and illegal things and Daniel is on top of you.
Y&R Spoilers: Matt Clark Disappears and Nick Newman Fights Fentanyl
Wednesday, February 25, is the last day of the sweep and Nick is high on fentanyl and panicking because Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) could be anywhere, even on the farm right now. And that’s because Victor tells his family that Matt disappeared shortly after being released from GCPD custody.
The villain got up and disappeared. Dirty Detective Annie Stewart (Catherine Kresge) may be with him, but we probably won’t see Matt until March based on Roger Howarth’s filming schedule. At least not in a logical way. Victor vows to stop Matt, but do they have a lead on him?
If not, then bad Matt has a huge advantage. It would be nice if at the end of the sweep you get a peek at Matt. Even just one scene of him crawling – you know, maybe they’ll throw us a bone. We will see. Detective James Burrow (Matt Cohen) is back The Young and the Restless this week. So maybe you have Newmans revision in Matt.
Sharon and Nick Flip Things around Matt
Nick and Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) scheme is that they want to flip the script on Matt and take him down for good. So Sharon and Nick may be trying to lure Matt in with some kind of seduction, but to be honest, Nick is not in his right mind, and he’s not up to physical altercation, even though I’m sure he thinks he is.
Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James) interrogates Cane and tells him about Lily. I think Devon might blame Cane for Lily falling off the radar. And I wonder if Cane turns and points towards the Conqueror. And Cane might show Devon that kidnapping photo he thinks is real, but we all know it’s fake.
Searching for Lily Winters and setting traps for Phyllis Summers
Thursday, February 26, Devon and Nate Hastings demand answers from Victor about Lily’s whereabouts after her run in with Cane. Then, they will tell Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) that they have a lead they need to check on Lily. Did they get that from Victor or was it from Cane?
Meanwhile, Noah is happy that Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) is back in Genoa City, but she is very worried now that she is in danger because Matt has disappeared again. Sienna, Noah, Nick, and Sharon discuss Matt and his undressing the second he got out of jail.
So, Sienna might want to turn around and go back to Los Angeles. And Cane agrees with Phyllis. And I’m sure there will be a lot of apologies. On Friday, February 27, Victoria and Nick built a trap together. And this may be for Phyllis. Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) receives an unexpected gift.
So, this could be something related to Newmans downfall. Maybe someone else is job hunting or maybe something about Fenmore because he and the store are mentioned by name. Beyond the Gates. Audra stops Sally from doing something she’ll regret, and it could backfire Newman Media or give Billy another chance.
The Young and the Restless March Raiders: The Matt Clark Showdown
The week of March 2 to 6, we have Sally’s conscience that continues to eat at her. He doesn’t like that Newman Media it was folded in half Abbottcom without his consent. But Audra pressures him to forget it and let the people of Newman deal with the karma they’ve earned.
Nick is very dependent on fentanyl. Sienna will be a victim again soon because Matt is in hiding. He is plotting. He bids his time and we’re going to have a big showdown with Victor, Nick, Sharon, and the rest of the Newmans and possibly the Abbotts involved.
It’s all up against Matt in the big boss fight tournament coming up in March. Also, we have Tessa and Daniel getting closer. Currently, Tessa is tempted to meet Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), even though she feels bad for her. But sometimes, Tessa might have little thoughts if Mariah begs her to stay with her or something like that.
Mariah Struggles on Y&R
Right now, Mariah Copeland feels like she doesn’t deserve Tessa or Aria Porter-Copeland (Millie Ingle), but if Mariah apologizes and lets Tessa in, that could be a game changer. Meanwhile, Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) is busy fighting for Mariah. And Christine wants psychiatric treatment, not prison.
And there should be a case soon. I don’t think we’ll actually get the case. I think we will be told about the off-screen interview request that was made. They rarely take out the court set. Like, it’s been a long time—I can’t even imagine how long. We have been out of that room for a long time.
Worry about Nick is intense. His behavior is changing. Of course, Matt will be happy that Nick took the pills. Billy continues and we’ll see if Cane does something about Phyllis Also comes an update on Lily from Devon and Nate as they search for her.
