Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: December 16-20, 2024



 The Young and the Restless

Recaps

Sharon learns someone tampered with her meds, and Jordan gives Ian an ultimatum. OMG, what now? As Nick and Mariah share disturbing news with Sharon, all we can think is, “Sheesh, how much more can this poor woman take?” Prepare to “wig out” when master of disguise Jordan takes on yet another new persona. Kyle keeps the peace between Summer and Claire — this time. But what next time? And the time after that? Kyle may have unwittingly just become a full-time referee.

This week’s Restless Rant looks at what’s ahead on Young & Restless: A twist in Heather’s murder case, Ian and Jordan’s ultimate downfall, and how Victor will get the last laugh on Jack and Diane!

Phyllis learns Sharon’s meds were drugged, Ian crosses paths with Mariah, and Abby gets an unsettling update from Ashley. Daniel and Phyllis demand justice for Heather. But with Ian and Jordan on the loose, we don’t think “just deserts” will be on the menu for quite a while yet. The honeymoon’s over. Literally. Newlyweds Abby and Devon return home and regret it for how long? Does anyone want to wager? Nikki? Mariah? Victor? Phyllis? Adam? We can’t wait to see who it is when Ian crosses paths with someone from his past.

Sharon overhears Phyllis’ admission to Lauren, and Victor toys with Jack. Jack should know better than to ever take a victory lap. Before he’s done, Victor always gets the upper hand, as he does for the gazillionth time today. As if Sharon didn’t already look guilty enough, she spies on Phyllis. This is not going to help your case, Sharon! Here’s an interesting tag team: Billy conspires with Diane. We’d buy that he can trust her, but is the opposite true?

Victor warns Claire about Kyle, and Lily gives Devon big news. We thought we were well past Victor’s doubts about Claire but apparently not. Once more, he tests his granddaughter’s loyalty. In what can only possibly pertain to the show’s endless game of musical CEOs, Lily makes a tough decision. Audra makes a promise to Nate, further giving the impression that these two might just have stumbled upon something real.

Phyllis cancels Lauren and Michael, and Audra becomes emotional. Better late than never, Sally evaluates her feelings for Billy. Phyllis and Michael’s friendship is tested. If you ask us, it already flunked the test with this twist. Nate asks Devon and Lily to give Audra a second chance.



Next Week

Sharon’s big risk may pay off as she and Nick make a shocking discovery… that leaves him worried for her safety! Elsewhere, Claire starts a (hopefully) happy new chapter, while at the Abbott manse; it’s time for a holiday walk down Memory Lane. But not everyone in Genoa City is feeling jolly, as Ian urges Jordan to do things that will definitely land her on the “naughty” list!

Monday, December 16:

Sharon takes a big risk to prove her innocence… and what could possibly go wrong with Martin, er, Alan leading the hypnosis session?

Tuesday, December 17:

If Billy’s planning to use Jack in his plan to get revenge on The Mustache, he is bound to be frustrated when his brother stands his ground!

Tasked with the relaunch of Jabot classics, Diane vows to prove herself at the family company. (As long as she doesn’t use the formula for Gloria’s tainted face cream, she should be fine!)

Could the very shocking discovery made by Sharon and Nick put them on a path toward clearing her name once and for all?

Phyllis had her whole scheme laid out before her, but she’s about to make a few key adjustments. Something tells us this could prove problematic!

Friday, December 20:

Tessa, watch out! You’re walking straight into a trap!

As if Jordan doesn’t already deal from the bottom of the proverbial deck, Ian suggests that she’s not playing dirty enough!

Daniel does his best to keep up appearances, if only for the sake of his daughter Lucy.

As things spiral further out of control all around them, Nick can’t help but worry about Sharon’s safety. Will he be playing hero and finally lead to a reunion for the longtime supercouple?
