Upcoming episodes of Young and the Restless will feature Nick Newman spiraling out of control as he refuses help for his addiction. Patty Williams is also set to launch a revenge plot against a rival.
Nick Newman is scheduled to appear unhinged in the episodes airing May 25 through 29, 2026. He continues to deny his pill addiction and lies to family members about seeking treatment, including claims of using meditation instead of rehab sessions he never attended. Victoria Newman grows suspicious after finding him with a dropped pill bag at Crimson Lights and presses him on his relaxed demeanor, which stems from being under the influence of fentanyl.
