Claire’s Plan Fails – Claire Falls into Victor’s Trap | The Young and the Restless Spoilers Next Week

Next week on The Young and the Restless, Victor Newman once again proves why he is the ultimate strategist in Genoa City. Claire Newman, determined to solidify her place in the Newman family and maintain her relationship with Kyle Abbott, walks straight into a trap set by Victor himself. Unbeknownst to her, Victor has been meticulously planning his next move, using his own health as a weapon to manipulate those around him.

As Kyle and Claire grow closer, Victor sees their relationship as a threat to his control over the Newman dynasty. Instead of confronting them directly, he devises a far more cunning approach. Playing on Claire’s emotions, Victor feigns a health crisis, presenting himself as weak and vulnerable. His sudden collapse and apparent frailty shake Claire to her core, making her question whether her choices are causing harm to her family.

Claire, torn between love and loyalty, starts to doubt her relationship with Kyle. Victor seizes this opportunity, planting seeds of suspicion in her mind. He paints Kyle as a disruptive force, someone who could tear the family apart. At the same time, he orchestrates a situation where Kyle finds himself at odds with both the Newmans and the Abbotts, further isolating him.

As the tension mounts, Kyle realizes Victor’s deception and tries to convince Claire that she is being manipulated. However, Claire is too entangled in Victor’s web to see the truth. By the time she starts piecing things together, it may be too late—Victor has already driven a wedge between them.

Will Claire see through Victor’s manipulation before she loses Kyle forever? Or has Victor once again secured his dominance over the Newman family? One thing is certain—when Victor Newman plays the game, no one walks away unscathed.
