The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the next two weeks, February 16 to February 27, hint that Phyllis Summers’ (Michelle Stafford) trap may soon be set while Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) spills a scheme and Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) tries a new tactic.

During the week of February 16-20, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will get out on bail, but she’ll have to follow the judge’s orders.

That means wearing an ankle monitor and staying with Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) while Mariah awaits trial.

Mariah will also pay Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Devon Winters (Bryton James) a visit to let them know how sorry she is, but forgiveness definitely isn’t an option right now as far as Abby’s concerned.

Next, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will play hardball with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and most likely insist the terms of their deal should remain in place.

Cane isn’t in control of Newman Enterprises anymore, so Victor may push him to steal it back from Phyllis somehow if he wants Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and the twins to walk free.

Cane will turn to Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) for help with an alliance while Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) hits a roadblock.

Billy will face off with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) during his first day at Chancellor, so we’ll see how Jack might try to sabotage him for Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) sake.

Speaking of Nikki, she’ll make a bold declaration about getting revenge. Nikki will also have a tense interaction with Cane at the ranch, so stay tuned for any harsh words she might deliver.

In the meantime, Y&R spoilers say Victoria will move forward with a plan of her own, so look for her to spill her scheme to Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic).

Of course, Nate and Devon aren’t in the loop on the faux kidnapping plot yet.

The longer Lily stays off the grid, the more worried Devon and Nate are going to get.

Victoria will eventually hit Billy with the harsh reality of his situation, so Johnny Abbott (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie Abbott (Sienna Mercuri) may be in the loop on their dad’s actions by then.

If Victoria’s right and the kids really are disgusted with Billy, then that’s something he’ll have to deal with.

Billy might hope he can repair the damage with Katie and Johnny, but fixing things may not be possible with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) after they have another fight.

Over with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), his fentanyl use will become harder to conceal – especially from Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) after she catches him trying to hide the bag.

After Abby and Dominic Winters (Ethan Ray Clark) bump into Mariah with Christine Blair Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) around town, Abby will establish some rules and make sure Mariah knows Dom is off-limits.

Meanwhile, Claire will try another tactic with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens).

It turns out Claire will hope to trade information, so she may offer Lily intel if Holden will tell her the truth about what happened with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and the art dealer.

Claire might find out about Lily being in on the fake abduction plot and consider spilling that info to Holden so he can pass it along to Cane.

Regardless, Claire will do everything in her power to find out exactly what went down in Los Angeles years ago.

During the week of February 23-27, Phyllis could get lured into Cane’s trap.

Daniel may play a key role in Cane’s plan if their alliance works out like he’s hoping.

Victoria and Billy’s feud may also get worse while Jack considers teaming up with a familiar foe.

Since Jack wants to help Nikki regain control of Chancellor, he might actually be willing to join forces with Victor.

There were some hints about Jack and Victor working together in 2026 preview spoilers, so perhaps they’ll become allies against Phyllis and Billy for a bit.

That sounds like another way to rile Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) up and make her feel like Jack’s taking too many risks for Nikki’s sake!

The Young and the Restless spoilers say the next two weeks will bring some surprising news and sneaky moves, so stay tuned for updates on all the excitement.
