Nick Newman shocked Victoria with a fake marriage confession, Sharon danced around Mariah’s mystery, and Claire pondered her future with Kyle. Let’s break down the drama from Genoa City.
Nick’s Prank Hits Victoria Hard
At Crimson Lights, Victoria and Nick caught up on Cole’s health situation. As they chatted, Victoria noticed something different about Nick’s mood. His warm words about Sharon after their London trip raised her hopes for a romantic reunion.
Then came the twist—Nick claimed he had secretly married Sharon. Victoria was floored. Her excitement faded fast once Nick admitted it was just a joke. While it was all in fun, Victoria’s face said it all—she wished it were true.
Over at Society, Sharon stopped by for a quick takeout order. She looked uneasy, especially when she spotted Tessa. Trying to dodge conversation didn’t work. Tessa confronted her about Mariah’s odd behavior lately.
Sharon reassured Tessa that she wasn’t to blame for anything. But she couldn’t quite hide her tension. Tessa sensed that Sharon knew more than she was saying. Although Sharon denied hearing any specifics, her guarded tone left Tessa worried.
Eventually, Sharon left as Daniel Romalotti Jr. arrived. Tessa and Daniel headed to the park together, but Tessa’s heart wasn’t in it. She confided that Mariah had been keeping something from her. And deep down, she feared it was bad news.
Later, Sharon met up with Nick to discuss Mariah’s situation. Although Mariah hadn’t told Sharon everything, Sharon had strong instincts. She feared Mariah’s secret could destroy the life she’d worked so hard to build.
Nick listened with growing concern. Sharon’s intuition had rarely failed in the past. If she was worried, then something serious might be coming for Mariah. The two quietly braced for fallout.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Adam Walks Into a Surprise Proposal
Meanwhile, Adam arrived at the GCAC expecting a meeting with Claire. He wasn’t thrilled to find Kyle was also involved. Sensing something odd, Adam assumed they wanted his help to take on Victor.
But the meeting took a surprising turn. Claire and Kyle wanted to buy Adam’s old apartment. Claire hoped a peaceful move like this might help convince Victor to accept their relationship. Adam wasn’t interested in poking the bear, but he agreed to consider the offer. Later, the couple went off-screen to tour the place.
Diane Struggles With Acceptance
At the Abbott mansion, Jack offered Diane breakfast in the dining room. He also gave her something better—an apology. Jack admitted he was wrong for doubting her decisions about the home’s renovations.
The moment turned emotional fast. Diane brought up Billy’s harsh judgment and questioned if things would’ve been different if someone else had led the project. She opened up about her deep desire to be accepted as a true Abbott. Jack’s comforting words helped, but her old wounds were still fresh.
Not long after, Claire and Kyle showed up to share their condo plans. Diane pulled Claire aside for a private chat. She could sense Claire had doubts about moving forward. Claire confessed that she wanted to build her own life—but also gain Victor’s trust. Diane warned her not to make bold moves unless she was fully ready to face Victor’s wrath. Claire nodded but still seemed uncertain. She was caught between love and legacy.
