The Young and the Restless spoilers, January 22: Victor puts Jack on notice

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, January 22, 2026, have Victor putting Jack on notice, Sharon worrying about Nick's condition, and Victoria hitting Cane where it hurts.

What's next on The Young and the Restless

Victor was already gunning after Jack like nobody's business. Now that he's caught his wife, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), and Jack in an intimate moment, he's likely to grow even more incensed. Watch for Victor to put Jack on notice on Thursday's episode. Should Victor want to hug one of his ex-wives (Ashley, played by Eileen Davidson, for example), that'd probably be okay.

But Victor doesn't want Nikki anywhere near Jack. Is it possible that Victor can feel any stronger about Jack than he already does? Tune in to find out!

The ex-wives club

Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) are no longer married, but you'd never know it by the way that they still care about each other. Nick and Sharon went on two big journeys last year that drew them even closer. First, they went to France, where Nick almost died at the hands of Cane's henchman. Then, they traveled to Los Angeles to help their son, Noah (Lucas Adams), who was run off the road by their back-from-the-dead enemy, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).

On Thursday's episode, watch for Sharon to worry about Nick's condition. He's in deep pain following his surgery, and, if Nick's not careful, he just may end up addicted to pain pills. Will Sharon help him kick the habit?

Victoria, victorious

Cane is wrong if he thinks that Victor is his only adversary in the Newman clan. Victoria (Amelia Heinle) is very much her father's daughter on The Young and the Restless, and she's quite capable of going into battle to protect her family. On Thursday's episode, watch for Vicki to hit Cane where it hurts! What could that mean? Cane is vulnerable to his ex-wife, Lily (Christel Khalil), and his kids, Charlie and Mattie (Noah Alexander Gerry and Lexie Stevenson).

Victoria is a resourceful woman, and we wouldn't be surprised at all to see her emerge (no pun intended) victorious in the family's battle against Cane.
