The Young and the Restless Monday, March 16 Recap: Disgusted Diane Slaps Jack – Victor Orders Nikki Off Ranch

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) recap for Monday, March 16, reveals that Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) will make a bold move after she realizes Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) betrayed her.

Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) will also lash out at Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) as their own marriage takes another hit.

On the yacht, Jack will try to pump the brakes with Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk), but she’ll quickly get him kissing again.

Once Jack finishes stripping down, he’ll do the deed with Patty and regret it afterward as whatever he was drugged with starts wearing off.

Of course, Patty will be on cloud nine and will think they both felt how magical that was.

Diane will eventually barge in after the boat brings her to the yacht along with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor).

Once Diane finds Jack in bed with Patty, she’ll be absolutely horrified.

Billy and Kyle will come along as well, so Patty will pipe up about this being a party with all the Abbott men.

Billy will mostly seem caught off guard, but Kyle will be angry like Diane and will want some answers.

Jack won’t really know what happened, but he’ll realize he needs to speak with Diane and try to explain.

Diane will express her disgust with both Patty and Jack before insisting she’ll be one doing the talking.

Once Diane is alone with a now dressed Jack, she’ll slap him hard across the face and fume over his betrayal.

Meanwhile, Nikki will head to the Abbott mansion, where she’ll fill Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) in on Victor having Jack abducted and held in a yacht on Lake Michigan with another woman.

Traci will have questions about Victor’s seduction scheme, but she won’t think Jack would ever betray Diane.

After Billy calls to let Traci know Jack’s been found and is OK, Traci will pass that news along to Nikki.

At the Newman ranch, Victor will question if it’s a good idea for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) to accompany Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) on his Vegas mission considering his past, but Adam will be determined to help his brother.

Victor will also wonder if Nick wants a security team to take over with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) once he’s located, but Nick will insist on being the one to end this nightmare.

When Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) pops up, she’ll mention her Milan trip as well as Victor’s decision to kidnap Jack.

Adam will admit he already knew, but this will be the first time Nick’s hearing about his father’s extreme move.

Although Nick will have plenty of complaints, Victoria will be more understanding of Victor’s actions and will defend her plan to recruit Summer Newman (last played by Allison Lanier) against Phyllis, too.

Nikki will eventually come home and gloat about Jack being found since she heard about it from Traci.

Once Victor confirms that over the phone, he’ll reconvene with Nikki privately and insist he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Nikki won’t be sure she can forgive Victor for what he did to Jack, but Victor will wonder if she really thinks he cares and will order her to get out!

At Crimson Lights, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) will tell Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) that Adam is stronger now and that he’ll have Nick to help him if Vegas issues arise.

There’ll also be some talk about Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) and Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) as Chelsea bonds with Sharon on Monday’s Y&R episode.

Chelsea will eventually head home, where Adam will meet up with her to say goodbye ahead of his trip.

After Chelsea pushes Adam to promise he’ll check in and avoid letting his past get under his skin, Adam will offer plenty of reassurance.

Nick will give Sharon some reassurance as well once they meet up at the coffeehouse.

Despite Sharon’s fears about how all the Matt drama will play out, Nick will remain committed to stopping their enemy for good.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Adam and Nick’s time in Las Vegas will come with some shockers, so stay tuned.
