The Young And The Restless (Y&R) scoop for Wednesday, January 18 suggests Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) will arrest Jeremy Stark (James Hyde).

Also coming up, Summer Newman (Alison Lanier) will try to reason with her husband about his mother. Plus, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) will make a decision about Devon Hamilton’s (Bryton James) request. And Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) will celebrate their success.

Y&R spoilers tease Devon and Lily will meet with an extremely perturbed Jill on video chat. Devon will remind Jill and Lily he initially pushed back at the whole idea of the merger. “What matters to me is running my company in the right way.” And he doesn’t want to just hand it over to the highest bidder. Jill will say she gets it but his timing is “absolute garbage.” Then Devon will go out for a while so Jill and Lily can talk. When he returns, Lily will tell him she and Jill have made a decision.

Y&R Daily Scoop – Diane Says Stark’s Been Stalking Her

Meanwhile, Chance will knock on Stark’s door and flash his badge. He’ll say he got a call from the Chicago PD and has a search warrant to look through his room. He’ll eventually find the papers Diane planted. It’s building schematics for Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) Chicago apartment. Stark will say he hasn’t been to Chicago in years. But Chance will tell him they were robbed and a man fitting his description was seen entering the building on surveillance footage, wearing a dark trench coat. Then he’ll find the coat in a drawer.

Chance will also tell Stark a pair of reading glasses were found in the apartment and the prints on them just happen to be his. “It’s a joke,” Stark will say. “You have no concrete evidence.” Then he’ll open the door to leave and see Jack and Diane standing there. “I didn’t buy your act for a second,” he’ll say to Diane. “You’re still a money grabbing snake.” Diane will tell Chance Stark has been stalking and harassing her. Then Chance will search Stark’s suit and find the necklace.

“If I’m going’ down, I’m taking you with me,” an angry Stark will say to Diane. He’ll tell Chance Diane was the one who went to Chicago last night. “That’s preposterous,” Diane will reply. She spent the night with Jack, who will vouch for her. “Sleep lightly Diane, I’ll be back. You haven’t seen the last of me,” Stark will say threateningly, as Chance drags him away.

Young And The Restless Scoop – Back To Normal, For Now

At Jabot, Kyle and Summer will argue about their mothers. “The big difference between our mothers is that I am protecting mine from a criminal that was lured to town by Phyllis,” Kyle will say. Then he’ll get a call from Jack, who will say Stark is in custody. Kyle will tell Summer things will go back to normal. “For now,” she’ll say. “Trouble and chaos have been recurring themes in our lives ever since Diane’s return.”

Kyle will say people have been coming after his mother nonstop. “You’re blaming the victim.” But Summer will beg to differ. “She is not a helpless victim.” She’ll point out Diane abandoned him and got herself engaged in illegal activities. And now she’s dragging Kyle and Jack down with her. After all, Jack just broke into her grandparent’s apartment to steal a necklace. “How much lower could he go?” Summer will say she needs her husband to see his mother for who she is. “Take her off the pedestal.”

Finally, Jack and Diane will return to the Abbott estate. They can’t believe they pulled it off. Jack will call Nikki and leave a message saying he heard about the burglary and for her to call him. “We had to remove Stark so we could focus on what really matters,” he’ll say to Diane. “What’s that?” she’ll ask. “Us,” he’ll reply and pull her into a passionate kiss.
