Soon after Nick found out Matt was still alive, he vowed that Matt would land in prison or in a grave.

That prison plan obviously didn’t work out, so Nick may feel like Matt’s grim fate is the only option.

Y&R spoilers say Matt’s freedom will definitely reignite Nick’s anger during the week of February 23-27.

Nick will worry about Matt vanishing since he could be stalking the Newmans right there on the Newman ranch.

It actually looks like Matt may wind up somewhere far away from Genoa City based on some behind-the-scenes leaks.

There’s evidence on CDL that Matt may land in Las Vegas and that Nick might track him there with some help from Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).

Whatever the case, this just might be Matt’s final chapter.

Matt managed to cheat his own demise in the past and came back to haunt the Newmans, but Nick may promise that’s not going to happen this time around.

Nick can’t risk leaving Matt alive and free since he could go after Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) or anyone else that Nick cares about.

Since Nick will refuse to watch Matt inflict more damage on his family, he may think it’s up to him to stop Matt once and for all.

Matt previously acted like Nick wasn’t capable of killing him, but Nick might prove him wrong!

That’s especially true since Nick’s seemingly headed down the road of addiction, which could affect his behavior and cloud his judgment.

If the end of Matt Clark is truly in the works, will Nick be responsible?

Could Adam help Nick get rid of the body and cover up any criminal activity?

Regardless, The Young and the Restless spoilers say Matt and Nick have a wild final faceoff coming up, so stay tuned for any disturbing news ahead for Matt.
