The Young and the Restless spoilers for Tuesday, February 1, 2022, kick off a new month with Victor Newman and Nikki Newman finally taking a critical look at their new son-in-law, while Lauren Fenmore Baldwin questions her husband about his new job with Victor, and Chelsea Lawson continues to scheme against Sally Spectra.
At first, like any reasonable parents, Victor and Nikki were suspicious of the older, dying, not quite divorced magnate who was sniffing around their daughter. But then, despite Ashland Locke admitting to secret after dirty secret, the pair were suddenly crazy about him.
Especially once Ashland and Victoria merged their companies to become Newman-Locke. They did their best to keep Billy Abbott from ruining Ashland’s reputation. Except that now – after the merger and after the wedding – now, all of a sudden, Victor wants to dig more deeply into the man. Because, all of sudden, Victor and Nikki are finally suspicious of Ashland’s motives. Talk about a day late and a dollar short, guys!
Victor hired Michael Baldwin to do the digging. (What? You thought Victor would get his own hands dirty?) But Michael can’t tell his wife exactly what he’s doing for Victor. Lauren has known Victor longer than Michael has. Lauren knows this can’t be good…or innocent. And Lauren is rightfully concerned.
