Plus, ‘Teriah’ Hits the Breaking Point… For Good This Time?

Between the fallout of Friday’s episode and the jaw-dropping preview of what’s ahead, The Young and the Restless may be racing toward something fans almost never see: Victor Newman cornered, exposed, and possibly defeated.

And heartbreak doesn’t stop there. Because while empires crumble, so do marriages — and for ‘Teriah’ fans, the end may finally be here.

Is This Really the End of ‘Teriah’?

After months of emotional distance, unspoken pain, and Mariah pushing her wife away at every turn, the cracks in Mariah and Tessa’s marriage have become impossible to ignore. Add in Tessa’s growing closeness to Daniel — still raw from losing Heather — and what once looked like friendship quietly crossed a line.

Now, it’s no longer subtle.

In the coming episodes, Tessa completely breaks down in front of Sharon, confessing through tears:
“I just… I can’t keep doing this anymore. It’s too hard.”

Sharon is stunned, struggling to process what she’s hearing — but should she be? The signs have been there for months. Emotional neglect. Unresolved trauma. Two people clinging to a marriage that no longer feels safe.

This doesn’t feel like another rough patch.
This feels final.

While hearts are breaking, Victor Newman has been juggling multiple disasters — and for once, he may have dropped the ball.

Victor briefly stepped away from his war against Jack and Jabot to deal with the Matt Clark crisis. But while he focused on protecting his family, everything else spiraled out of his control.

• Michael and Nikki schemed to get their hands on the AI — and frame Cane

• The Abbotts captured Matt Clark and tried to force a deal with the Newmans

• Cane quietly revealed to Phyllis that the AI could be turned against its own creator

In other words? Chaos everywhere — and Victor at the center of it.

Coming up, Jack fills Diane in on his explosive meeting with Victor… and makes it clear that Matt Clark wasn’t even the wildest part of the night. That alone should terrify Newman loyalists.

Has Victor Newman Finally Been Beaten?

Then comes the line that feels almost unreal.

With Cane standing behind her, Phyllis looks Victor Newman dead in the eye and declares:
“Newman Enterprises is ours… and there’s nothing you — or anyone — can do about it.”

Let that sink in.

Victor Newman doesn’t lose. He survives, outmaneuvers, and retaliates. Always. But this time, the walls are closing in from every direction — and the AI, the very weapon he trusted, may be the thing that destroys him.

If the AI self-destructs while taking Victor down with it? Fans won’t be mourning. (Let’s be honest — it’s starting to feel like the new Reliquary, and we all remember how that turned out.)

What’s Next?

• A fed-up Diane reaches her breaking point

• Someone is keeping a dangerous secret from Sharon

• Victor’s long-questioned plan may officially be exposed as a disaster

And the biggest question of all lingers over Genoa City:

Is this the moment Victor Newman finally loses control — for real this time?

Stay tuned. Because if the preview is any indication, Young and the Restless is about to detonate.
