Previous "The Young and the Restless" spoilers had revealed that Jordan (Darnell Kirkwood) pulled what seemed like the ultimate revenge move. Now, spoilers indicate that his plan will end up benefitting Hilary (Mishael Morgan) after all.
Hilary decided to expose Jordan's past to everyone in Genoa City. Now, literally everyone knows Jordan's scamming past, with Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) as his partner in crime. This led him to leak Hilary's nude photos online, so now everyone has also seen her in the buff. Lily (Christel Khalil) was among the people who have received a message with Hilary's nudes attached while she was at the Athletic Club bar.
The irony of the situation was that Lily was the one who told Hilary to keep her distance from Jordan. Hilary started her revenge scheme when she realized that Jordan was only interested in getting back together with her because Lily could not be a romantic option anymore. Hilary is not one for being anyone's second choice, but unfortunately she is. The added push-off from Devon (Bryton James) also played some part in her feeling down in the dumps.
Being the scorned woman that she is, Hilary decided to out Jordan and Chelsea's con artist backgrounds, damaging their reputation. Victoria (Amelia Heinle) also told Jordan that his services as photographer were no longer needed since Brash and Sassy has been absorbed into Newman Enterprises. Not only was Jordan unemployed, he was going to have a hard time getting a job.
Devon had already warned Jordan before to stay away from Hilary, so did Lily. Instead, he chose to make up his own mind, which led to these bombshells dropping. While Jordan might think and gain the satisfaction of damaging Hilary's career, this might backfire given her line of work and how things are today.
Hilary could easily play the victim card, and these nude photos would turn out to work to her advantage. This kind of exposure will make her more popular than ever, therefore giving her a boost in her career.
Meanwhile, more "The Young and the Restless" spoilers indicate that things might look bleak for Nick (Joshua Morrow) over the holidays. Chelsea's past may have been exposed, but she still has one skeleton in the closet, and she is particularly making sure that Nick does not find out.
Nick has started to soften towards Victor (Eric Braeden) but of course, that just spells trouble. Whenever Nick decides to make amends or make a nice gesture, Victor always winds up with a way to provoke him. Victor is not one to let bygones be bygones, and is especially obsessed with making Nick suffer.
Unfortunately, Chelsea could also suffer, as she is Nick's girlfriend. Nick gave away his millions and his business burned to the ground. Victor can no longer use money to hurt Nick anymore, he might have to resort to another method. He still has one big secret left to spring on Nick, so he will likely use it down the road. The Newman head might reveal that Christian (Jude and Ozzy Mcguigen) is actually Adam's (Justin Hartley) son.
Nick might also learn that Chelsea had known all along, so that would make things worse. He would obviously break things off with Chelsea and sulk over the fact that he is not raising his own son but his nephew. Then again, there is a chance that Victor might get away innocent in when Nick faces this crisis. There are other ways to learn secrets after all.
He might wind up overhearing Victor and Chelsea's conversation about it. If not that, Chelsea could also come forward with the truth after battling with guilt. Or, there might be a medical issue or a newfound document that will get Nick to this realization. Should Victor remain blameless during this big revelation, then it could maintain the progress he is making with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott).
"The Young and the Restless" airs Mondays to Fridays at 1:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
