HOLLYWOOD—The truth is close to being revealed on “The Young and the Restless.” Yes, when Sharon killed Heather, it left me stunned as a viewer, but I figured there had to be more to the story because Sharon Case has been on the soap for nearly 30 years and she’s vital to the narrative. The writers weren’t just about to box her into a corner where the character wouldn’t exist anymore right? My instincts were correct.

We learned last week that Sharon’s meds HAD BEEN TAMPERED with! So much talk was made about getting the drugs tested for months as Sharon was unbecoming of herself, and we NOW discovered Jordan and Ian ensured PCP was placed in those meds causing hallucinations, and aggressive traits amongst other things with Sharon. Michael revealed those details to Sharon, Nick, Faith and Mariah, which was a massive clue that Sharon is being setup. The audience knew that a few weeks ago, now the characters are being clued in on what is taking place.

So, the threat is imminent, and Ian and Jordan are starting to unravel a bit as they are aware that the tainting of Sharon’s drugs has been exposed. Ian is NOT pleased, and as a result he is tossing accusations at Jordan who is losing her cool. Jordan has been doing Ian’s bidding, but he has not yet returned the favor, which is leaving her annoyed. This has pushed Ian to roam around Genoa City in disguise to spy on Mariah, Nick, Tessa and Claire. Someone should be able to spot him, it’s not like he’s wearing a new face or wig.

Ian is planning to utilize Tessa to implement his plans to officially eliminate Sharon. Sharon is becoming a massive threat because she decided to get hypnotized by Alan. What did she discover? She was NOT the driver who tried to kill Phyllis it was someone else, and Phyllis confirmed those details to Lauren who spilled to Michael. If Sharon continues with her hypnosis, she might discover exactly WHO KILLED HEATHER?

So, Sharon’s meds have been tainted. Check. Sharon did not try to kill Phyllis. Check. The conspiracy is being exposed slowly, but methodically. What does that mean? A new target or threat will be exposed very soon, and it is not going to be Sharon, which has me worried. Claire’s relationship with Kyle is about to place him in some serious danger. Jordan doesn’t like that her niece has become enamored with the Newman clan.

This is interesting because Victor has already made it clear to Claire that he’s not a fan of her relationship with Kyle which means he has something cooking in the works after Jack and Diane pulled one over him. Victor doesn’t like being made a fool of and Jack can sense that something is brewing in the process, which has him on edge.

Victor has something big in the works because he dropped something on Michael that made him quite uncomfortable to say the least. I don’t understand Michael’s loyalty to Victor at times. Is the money that good you’re willing to sell your soul to the Devil? Billy and Sally are still heating up, while Adam is still not aware that his nemesis has plans for him and Victor.

While all of this is happening, Nate and Audra are getting closer, and it feels like the audience might FINALLY learn a bit about Audra Charles, her past and upbringing. Yes, she opened up slightly, during that dinner with Devon, Abby, Nate and Lily. Yes, Lily is back at the family company, which is where she should have been all along, just as Nate’s search for his brother Damien is heating up after he hired a private investigator to track him.

With all this unfolding, Phyllis is still headfast on making Sharon pay for trying to kill her, framing Daniel and ‘killing’ Heather. Just one problem; Sharon is not responsible Phyllis and you’ll be graveling sooner than later, and I wonder what the aftermath will be for the red head.
