To no surprise, Ian Ward's return to Genoa City will stir a lot of trouble on the next episode of The Young and The Restless.

Victoria & Stitch's Relationship To Heat Up?  

First, Ian reports a crime to Paul saying that someone broke into his room. They argue over whether or not it was the police. Paul shuts down his accusations making Ian wonder who it was that's trying to send him a message.

At the ranch, Nikki is uneasy over Ian's return and breaks the news to Victor. He asks if Ian has bothered her and she says he didn't. Victor assures Nikki that he'll keep an eye out for Ian, but she urges him to forget about him. She wants Paul to deal with the situation and not Victor, which leads to a fight between the couple. Nikki explains that she's not even scared of Ian's actions; she's petrified about Victor's. He finally agrees to fall back unless Ian does something to one of his family members.

Adam's Body Arrives While Chloe & Chelsea Get Violent?  

Later on, Paul fills in Dylan about Ian's visit. Paul asks if he's the one who broke into Ian's place, but Dylan says he had nothing to do with the incident. They begin speak about whether or not Ian actually does have a secret. Paul then tells Dylan to leave Ian alone and not mess up his own life.

Back at the ranch, Nikki receives a text message from Ian, which reads, "The park is lovely. Time we had a heart to heart."

Ian waits at the park until Victor shows up and sternly says his wife won't be coming. That's when Ian informs Victor that he won't be leaving Genoa City. In turn, Victor gives Ian the biggest threat of his life telling him that if he comes in contact with any of his loved ones, he will have to worry about his life. And, Y&R fans should know that Victor usually means business.
