Adam Plots Billy’s Fall — But Is Victor the Real Target in Y&R’s Latest Power Play?

What does Adam have planned?

This week’s Slow Burn Sunday is about Adam’s plan to take down Billy on The Young and the Restless. Unsurprisingly, Victor is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Since our beloved black sheep of the family is back to working for him, the matriarch already has his first project for him.

The Puppet Master

Victor (Eric Braeden) is taking advantage of Adam’s (Mark Grossman) new position. He and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) have been working together at Newman Media again. But of course, there’s fine print in this contract that they forgot to read. Adam’s new job means that he will have to do something for his father.

Chelsea already feels uncomfortable about this. She doesn’t like that Victor is using his son for his own gain. Victor wants Adam to take Billy (Jason Thompson) down only because of their long-standing feud. He also sees Billy as a threat to Newman Media. Victor wants Adam to undermine Billy’s efforts.

Everyone knows about Adam and Billy’s complicated history. What made it worse was when Chelsea and Adam cheated on Billy and Sally (Courtney Hope) when they dated them. Their feud reignited when Adam and Chelsea learned that Sally and Billy were working together. Victor is using his son’s pain to his advantage since he’s obsessed with taking down the Abbotts.

Who Will Win This Fight?

This week, Victor was ready to take Billy down. He involved Adam in his plan to use Newman Media. Adam has tried to keep his distance from his father because of Chelsea. But it’s not easy for him, especially when he wants his father in his life. Victor and Adam have hatched a plan to go up against Billy.

However, Adam is taking his time. Victor asked why he hadn’t launched a media takedown against Billy. Adam brushed him off and assured him that he’s got it under control. But the real reason he’s taking his time is because of Chelsea. Once she finds out, she might leave Adam, which puts him in a difficult situation. It’ll be interesting to see whether Adam follows through with this plan or if he will take down his father instead.
