The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the next three weeks, January 5 to January 23, reveal that fans will see some kidnapper chaos, total panic, shady deals and messy partners.

During the week of January 5-9, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) will be freed from Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) clutches while the Newmans gain control of the monster himself.

Matt will be tossed into Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) vehicle for a ride that’ll end in disaster. It turns out even with zip-tied hands, Matt will pose a threat!

Matt will put Nick in a chokehold while he’s driving, so the car could veer off the highway.

Although Matt could use this as a path to escaping briefly, he’ll be forced back to the Newman ranch at some point.

Over with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), they’ll have a brainstorming session.

As for Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters), she’ll gripe about Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) constant need to be loyal to Nikki.

However, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) is about to offer up some Matt-related news that’ll change everything for the Abbotts.

Since Diane’s been hoping to prove Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) committed a crime through the AI program, maybe there’ll be proof that he used it to financially ruin Matt.

Whatever the case, Jack and Kyle will head over to the Newman ranch living room, where Matt will be seated as they bicker with Victor.

Y&R spoilers say Jack will propose something that’ll get Victor’s attention. It could involve Jack playing hardball with some jail time threats over Matt’s financial wipe-out.

Regardless, Jack may suggest he can either be an ally or an enemy depending on Victor’s next move.

If Victor’s willing to surrender the AI program, Jack may think they can reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Speaking of mutually beneficial arrangements, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will push Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) for one of those as she makes another risky alliance pitch.

While Cane mulls that over, he’ll also have to contemplate Lily Winters’ (Christel Khalil) messy feelings since he won’t be able to make sense of her mixed messages.

Elsewhere, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) will admit to Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) that he didn’t go through with telling Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) the worst parts of the Los Angeles story.

Since Holden will feel like Audra was right about holding back information, their views will finally align as they made peace with each other.

The week of January 12-16 should bring Claire’s hunt for more info anyway.

Claire definitely won’t give up when it comes to finding out what really happened in Los Angeles, so we’ll see if she still teams up with Kyle like they previously talked about.

At some point, Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) will discuss their romantic status.

Although Tessa and Daniel aren’t putting any labels on this so far, they may admit they want to build a real relationship.

Nevertheless, that may have to wait since Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will make a daring move that’ll throw so many lives into turmoil.

A Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor (last played by Rainn and River Ware) kidnapping storyline is about to kick off, so Mariah will ultimately become a wanted criminal with an endangered child in tow.

Of course, Mariah may not immediately be a suspect when Dominic first vanishes, but Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) will work to get to the bottom of the mystery for a terrified Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton James).

The week of January 19-23 should bring some Dominic abduction developments.

How long will it take for Devon and Abby to realize they’ve been betrayed by their mentally unstable friend and former surrogate?

Mariah obviously isn’t in the right frame of mind to be caring for a kid right now.

There may be more Ian Ward (Ray Wise) hallucinations that’ll guide Mariah even further down this awful path.

As for Nikki, she may lash out at Jack for exploiting the Matt situation.

Since we know Nikki will eventually turn against Jack, this may be what breaks their bond and pushes her to side with Victor.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Jack and Diane’s relationship will be put to the test thanks to what Victor and Nikki have in store, so stick with for updates on all the drama.
