Meanwhile, Jack, Ashley, and Chance work behind the scenes to expose the truth. As suspicions rise and secrets unravel, Ashley returns with dangerous doubts. Traci’s life could be at risk, and Martin’s mask is slipping fast. The entire Abbott family may soon face a terrifying confrontation they never saw coming.
Ashley Returns With Doubts About Martin
Ashley Abbott arrived back in Genoa City after her Paris trip. Jack wasted no time pressing her with questions. He wondered if Martin could’ve survived that balcony fall. Ashley denied it—at first. But then, she admitted some details felt off.
Ashley’s suspicions grew after hearing about Traci’s possible danger. She became furious. If Martin harmed Traci, Ashley swore she’d make him pay. She wanted to see Traci immediately, but Jack urged caution. He explained “Alan” wasn’t expected back until tomorrow. They needed to wait.
Traci was shocked when “Alan” came back earlier than expected. She tried to hide her fear. She played along, pretending to be excited. But when she suggested slowing their wedding plans, “Alan” turned tense.
His demeanor changed completely. He sensed her hesitation. Traci knew things were spiraling. She discreetly called Jack with her phone in her pocket. Jack answered—and what he heard alarmed him. “Alan” was demanding answers, asking Traci what she’d discovered and why she feared him.
The Young and the Restless Recap: Summer Gets Dumped by Chance
Elsewhere, Summer Newman continued dealing with heartbreak. She confessed she wasn’t over Kyle yet. Chance Chancellor had waited long enough. Tired of being second place, he broke things off. He told Summer she needed to work through her feelings on her own.
In the meantime, at the cottage, Summer’s mom- Phyllis Summers urged Sharon and Nick to delay their London trip. She believed Chance was close to solving the mystery. Nick dug into “Alan’s” past. He found reports about Alan’s twin, who had died in Paris.
Then, Chance showed up with more clues. He revealed that the Paris clinic’s system was hacked. Unauthorized gas control valve purchases were made. One transaction stood out—a lease for a farmhouse near Genoa City. That could be where the captor had been hiding.
Sharon suspected “Alan” might be innocent—or being framed. Phyllis disagreed. She pointed out that watching his brother die could’ve triggered a breakdown. Nick thought Chance was hiding key info. Eventually, Chance hinted that “Alan” might not be Alan at all.
The group quickly realized the truth. Martin, Alan’s unstable twin, was likely behind it all. He had a history of mental health issues. His twisted obsession had now become a deadly threat.
Jack knows Traci is in trouble. Ashley wants blood. And Martin is losing control. The stage is set for a dramatic rescue—or a shocking twist.
