Moments later, Sharon gasped for air, realizing that Phyllis had saved her life. The rivals quickly recognized that their survival depended on working together. With their captor seemingly absent, they shook on a fragile truce, determined to decipher their final clue and escape.
Back at Crimson Lights, Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) joined Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) as they pieced together the latest developments in the case.

The Young and the Restless Recap: Martin Laurent’s Deception– A Shocking Engagement
At the GCAC, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) enjoyed a meal with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Diane Jenkins-Abbott (Susan Walters), and Alan Laurent—or so she thought. In reality, Alan’s evil twin, Martin, was the one sitting across from her, playing his role convincingly. Martin smoothly reminisced about Traci’s New York trip and even hinted at giving up his public speaking engagements to travel with her more.
In a jaw-dropping moment, Martin proposed marriage, catching Traci completely off guard. Overwhelmed with emotions, Traci accepted, unaware of the deception unfolding before her. As she shared the good news with Jack and Diane, Martin retreated to a secluded bench, admiring the ring he had just purchased. However, his sinister nature was soon revealed when he pulled up the live video feed from the Havenhurst Clinic, confirming his role as Sharon and Phyllis’ captor.
With Phyllis and Sharon still in danger, and Martin pulling the strings from the shadows, The Young and the Restless continues to deliver gripping suspense. Will Nick, Chance, and Billy reach them in time? And how long can Martin keep up his ruse before Traci uncovers the truth?
