Nick reunites with detectives to expose Matt Clark as Noah and Sienna awaken imprisoned and drugged, with no clear escape in sight. Sharon confronts Matt in her hotel room, setting the stage for a confrontation that could determine Noah’s fate. The episode airs one day earlier in Canada.
On the prior episode of Y&R, Phyllis suspects Cane’s motive for sleeping with her was to access her laptop, Lily tells Holden to leave town, and Claire enlists help to avenge Audra. Nick enters the club, frustrated, asking the bartender about Mitch or Sienna, only to be dismissed. He encounters Detective Burrow, who introduces Annie as his partner. They are part of an operation to dismantle a fentanyl ring linked to Mitch Bacall. Annie claims Burrow has been corrupt and under Mitch’s influence. They believe Noah may have witnessed something he wasn’t supposed to, which made him a target. Nick agrees that Noah’s crash wasn’t an accident and inquires about their progress. He reveals that Mitch’s real name is Matt Clark.
“Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Newman.”
Summary notes indicate the investigation targets Noah’s trauma as a potential lead, and the revelation of Mitch’s true identity reframes the case moving forward.
Author's summary: A tense convergence of past secrets and new alliances drives the pursuit of Matt Clark, while Noah and Sienna confront captivity and Sharon faces a dangerous confrontation.
