Key Takeaways
- Nick keeps a troubling secret from Sharon about Matt
- Sharon discovers Matt never checked into the psychiatric clinic
- Lily learns that her cancer has not returned
- Lily fires Nate from Winters to encourage his medical career
- Nate may struggle with Lily’s surprising decision
Matt Is a Menace
Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) demanded that Sharon be his therapist, otherwise he would not seek the treatment he so desperately needs. Of course, it’s a preposterous proposition, but one that Sharon agreed to.
According to Nick, he took Matt to the psychiatric hospital, but evidence suggests that is not true.
What Did Nick Do With Matt?
Sharon has questions, and when she investigates, she finds a discrepancy—the staff have no record of Matt checking into the clinic.
Sharon confronts Nick about what happened to Matt, but he is not in a conversational mood.
Nick doesn’t want to tell Sharon what happened with Matt—did he lock him up and throw away the key or commit a more drastic sin?
Nick was already furious about Sharon’s dangerous gamble with Matt, so his refusal to explain what happened raises even more questions.
Did Nick Harm Matt?
Sharon was already worried about Matt’s mental health, so it will be interesting to see how she handles this mysterious situation.
After Matt’s frightening intrusion into Sharon’s home, Nick has every reason to want him out of their lives.
Meanwhile, Lily tells Nate and Devon Winters (Bryton James) that her lab results show that her cancer hasn’t returned.
They are at Society, and she tells them that she was able to celebrate with Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) before he left for London to see sick Jill Abbott (Jess Walton).
Lily’s Bold Move
Lily is emboldened by the good news and thinks she will have no issue handling Winters, the family business.
Thus, she fires Nate from Winters, forcing him to return to medicine. Nate was willing to put his dream on hold to help her out, but there is no need for that now.
Lily is doing this out of love and hopes that Nate will be able to fulfill his wish to return to medicine.
Nate Fired From Winters
Lily has every confidence in the world about Nate’s abilities, but juicy spoilers hint that he may have a rocky road ahead as he seeks to build his surgical practice.
Red-hot The Young and the Restless spoilers hint that Nate may chafe against Lily’s move, but she will not budge and says she is doing this for his own good!
Editor’s Take
Nick is certainly raising some red flags! If Matt never checked into the hospital, what exactly did Nick do with him? Sharon isn’t going to appreciate being kept in the dark, especially when Matt is involved.
As for Lily, I’m glad her cancer hasn’t returned, but firing Nate seems a little extreme. Shouldn’t he be the one deciding whether he wants to return to medicine?
