The Young and the Restless Spoilers Thursday, January 16: Claire’s Jordan Shocker for Victoria & Nikki

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Thursday, January 16, reveal that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will make a big discovery that relates to Ian Ward’s (Ray Wise) trickery. There’s a good chance this involves Jordan’s (Colleen Zenk) imposter swap at her prison facility, so Victor may realize Ian the chaplain must’ve arranged that.

Since Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) has already been wondering about Ian’s accomplice, Victor may give his son updates as more of the puzzle comes together.

Nick is bound to be furious if Victor delivers news about Jordan and Ian teaming up.

Next on Thursday’s Y&R episode, Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) will act like she’s willing to join forces with Jordan against the Newmans again.

Perhaps Claire will vow to keep Jordan’s return quiet and help her get the revenge they always wanted.

However, Claire will betray Jordan instead by sounding the alarm to Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).

Victoria and Nikki may want to alert the authorities right away, but Claire may advise against involving the cops just yet.

Claire might also want to keep Victor out of the loop and argue that he’d stop her from carrying out her plan.

It looks like Claire will think she’s in the best position to trap Jordan, but her scheme could take some wrong turns before the week’s over.

In the meantime, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will try to pry a confession out of Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), so this could be about his Paris trip with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) or even just his true romantic feelings.

It’s possible Phyllis will pick up on Billy’s concern about Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan), who’s moving to the ranch with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Connor Newman (Judah Mackey).

That could lead to Phyllis pushing Billy’s buttons and acting like he’s just using Sally to get over Chelsea.

Then again, Phyllis might demand the details of Billy’s first move against Victor and pressure him to get the ball rolling on the revenge plot he’s been talking about for so long.

Whatever the case, Phyllis will put Billy through a grilling session, so stick with us for more predictions on any tension that might erupt.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Phyllis will get caught up in some other shocking situations soon, so stay tuned.
