Spoilers for the December 4, Friday, episode of 'The Young and the Restless' teases some intense drama and action unfold in the backdrop of old friends reuniting. While one crucial character gets freed from captivity, another is taken into the same. We are talking about Adam Newman and Billy Abbott, of course. Looks like Adam has been able to convince the psychiatric facility that he is good to be discharged, while Billy's time as a free man, despite claiming his innocence, has run out. But not everything is going to be all sunshine and bliss for Adam and he and Chelsea have another crisis to overcome. Read on to find out what happens in the upcoming episode of Y&R.

As Adam is able to convince doctors and specialists that he is fine and dandy enough to be released, the storyline falls flat as something induced purely because of shock value. We don't know if he really is better or just tricking the specialists, but luckily Victor doesn't doubt his son's unstable mind one bit. Victor is concerned about this stunt Adam is pulling because he believes there's no way enough time was spent treating his ailments. Victor believes Adam just lied and told the doctors whatever they wanted to hear to release him.

Tension builds up surrounding what Adam might do once he's out, but there's a catch. Soon after being released, Adam will be occupied with yet another crisis surrounding Chelsea's health. Spoilers for the coming week of December 4 suggest that Chelsea will be diagnosed with something rather disturbing, thus engaging all of Adam's time in her recovery. The couple, although odd and dysfunctional at the finest, was just united after Adam spent almost a month locked away, but they can't have a moment of peace. First, it was the shooting, then Victor locking Adam away, then Chelsea and Chloe's spat, and now that he's finally being released, Chelsea suffers a health crisis.

Speaking of the shooting, Billy is finally being arrested following a steamy, passionate night with Lilly. Spoilers tease he will be put in handcuffs and taken down to the police station as he continues to insist that he had nothing to do with the shooting. All of this happens in the backdrop of Nina finally reuniting with her beloved old friend Christine, their reconnection offering ample chance for the new mother-in-law to gush about Chance and Abby's wedding. Christine too will get a chance to see how content Nina looks with the new developments and will fill her in on whatever's happening at hers, finally offering some lightheaded relief to all the intense drama going down. 

'The Young and the Restless' airs on weekdays at 12L30 PM only on CBS.
