It's another tense episode on 'The Young and the Restless' as we finally near what exactly Chelsea's diagnosis is. Her headaches have been getting worse and she keeps pacifying Adam with fi of it just being minor blood pressure issues. However, things don't go according to her plan as Chelsea leaves her phone unattended and Adam finally learns what's the root of her illness. In the backdrop of that, here's what to expect from the December 8 episode of 'The Young and the Restless'.

Immediately after his release from the psychiatric facility, Adam plans on leaving town with Chelsea and their son. Maybe getting away from Genoa City will do their family good; offer them some much needed moment of peace and calm. But looks like they won't be able to enjoy any of that as even though Adam and Chelsea promise to be on each other's side, time isn't on their side.

In a nutshell, all hell breaks loose when Chelsea leaves her phone unattended in the presence of Adam and her doctor calls with some really terrible news, to alarm her that she might not have much time. Before Chelsea can pacify Adam, he will be ready to unleash his maniacal outburst at her once again, accusing her of lying and keeping such crucial and explosive bits of information from him. Considering Chelsea will be informed that she doesn't have much time left, the diagnosis will most likely be a brain tumour or something similarly grave - that fans will find out on the Tuesday afternoon episode of Y&R.

In other places, Victora will get increasingly suspicious of Victor's involvement in her ex-husband Billy's arrest. The latter keeps insisting he had nothing to do with Adam's shooting, and Victor won't have any of it; but he supposedly catches his daughter Victoria off guard in the upcoming episode, and that hints at possible snooping around that she might be doing to dig first on her own dad.

The reason behind this suspicion is of course the way Victor had tailored evidence against Billy in the past, weaving a whole new affair between him and Amanda Sinclair, that Victoria brings up in her conversation with Lily on Monday's episode. Let's add to that the tense meeting between Jack and Theo over Dina's entire fortune, and dramatic is a whole understatement when it comes to describing what's coming up.

'The Young and The Restless' airs on weekdays at 12.30 pm only on CBS.
