The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers and updates tease that Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) knew she had to agree to Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) plan. Being imprisoned for an indefinite period of time was a real prospect if she didn’t.
So, Chelsea agreed to play up mental instability. Of course, Victor, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson), and the audience knew that Chelsea has been unstable since shortly after she suffered a stroke.
Now that Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) and Michael Baldwin’s (Christian LeBlanc) suspicions about Chelsea’s honesty are building it’s fair to wonder if Victor will be able to escape the consequences of his actions?
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Adam Newman Feels Bad
Adam is sincerely trying to turn over a new leaf. He wants to live a better life, which includes being kind to loved ones and establishing solid relationships with others who he can call friends.
Chelsea suffered her stroke for reasons that haven’t been fully detailed. But it’s reasonable to assume that her abduction, on Adam’s call, which included a blow to the back of her head, is connected to the health crisis she suffered.
Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) agreed to become Chelsea’s supposed counselor on Adam’s insistence. That drove Chelsea over the edge and sparked her plot to poison Rey.
Chelsea Lawson Has Limited Options
Being confined to a mental health facility doesn’t leave Chelsea with many options. She’s already played her cards, with the best hand being her apologetic conversation with Rey, which included induced tears.
Victor’s chilling order lets Chelsea know where she stands. He said that as long as she plays the game as he wants it, then she will eventually be released. But that directive came with no calendar.
In the meantime, Chelsea is blocked from having contact with Connor Newman (Judah Mackey). That has made her mad, with viewers recalling the form of revenge she sought against Sharon, via Rey, earlier this year.
The Young And The Restless Updates – Victor Newman Covers His Tracks
Victor is an old hand when it comes to employing deceptive measures. He’s employing a doctor and attorney. Both are compromised, purely in agreeing to play a part in this ruse for money. So, unless they turn on him, Chelsea has no allies.
Chloe is disturbed by her best friend’s behavior, while also not wanting to be implicated due to the unknowing role she played in the poisoning. That takes a major defender off Chelsea’s chessboard as well.
It appears that Chelsea will either do as Victor says or face indefinite confinement. However, even if she does as asked it’s likely that Chelsea will realize unwanted outcomes this summer on Y&R.
