Her family has been preparing for the worst as they realize there’s a chance she might not survive after being hit by a car. However, a miracle could potentially happen in Genoa City after Victor makes a secret return to see his wife and encourage her to fight and come back to him on the Wednesday, Dec. 26 episode of “The Young and the Restless.”

Nate (Brooks Darnell) warned Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) that they needed to prepare for the worst when it came to Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) condition on the CBS soap. Believing that she is going to die, they began working to assemble all of their family members to say goodbye—with the exception of their father, Victor (Eric Braden), who was missing. However, he has since snuck back into town and seems intent on getting his wife to come back to him, even if no one knows about it.

“A mystery figure visits Genoa City,” “Y&R” spoilers tease.

The mystery figure is, indeed, Victor, and he wants nothing more than for Nikki to wake up and come back to him, and he will admit he is willing to risk his own freedom if that’s what it takes for her to return. He knows being back in town is a risk since he is the prime suspect in JT’s (Thad Luckinbill) murder, but if he can get her back, for him it will be worth it. Now, it will be up to Nikki, as she fights to come back to be with the man she loves once again.

“The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
