Jack’s Decision to Help Nikki Dramatically Changed the Plot of the Series
The recent The Young and The Restless episode revolves around Jack and Nikki’s interaction.
Jack is in an attempt to overcome her dangerous habit, which gets him in trouble at the end at Nikki Newman’s hotel suite.
Despite all the efforts, and after several failed attempts, Jack decides to scare her but joins her instead of drinking from all the supplies she has in stock.
Little did he know the pills that he got from the dealer would make him unconscious, which was supposedly for Nikki.
After the excessive use of pills, Nikki stressed out and begged Jack to stop using them. But he didn’t listen to any of her words and instead replied,
Now you see what it’s like not to be able to save someone you love from destroying themselves.
