‘The Young And The Restless’ Recap: Mariah Worries

The Young and the Restless recap for Thursday, January 16 reveals Sharon’s (Sharon Case) path forward as Nick (Joshua Morrow) learns the truth of Sharon’s breast cancer diagnosis. Plus, Summer and Mariah clash, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) propositions Chance (Donny Boaz), and Billy (Jason Thompson) asks Lily (Christel Khalil) for advice.

Nick reassured Faith (Alyvia Alyn Lind). She asked her dad to find out what is going on with Sharon, and he agreed. Meanwhile, Sharon and Rey (Jordi Vilasuso) were at the cancer center. Sharon asked the doctor if she could beat the disease. While the doctor remained cautious, he told Sharon that she had an excellent chance of beating her stage two breast cancer. The doctor recommended that Sharon undergo chemotherapy and then surgery. She asked when she could start.

When they got home, Sharon asked Rey to get her the book that the doctor recommended she read. Rey left, and Sharon cried. Nick knocked on the door, and Sharon tried to tell him that she had a cold. He asked her to open the door, so she did. Nick let Sharon know that Faith found the note. He expressed that many people care about her and want to know what’s going on with her. Sharon admitted that she has breast cancer, and Nick reassured her that she and their children are strong and everything would work out. Sharon agreed to tell the kids, but she asked Nick to refrain from telling anybody else. When Rey returned with the book, Sharon told him that Nick knew, and Rey was glad to hear it.

At Society, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) listened to Tessa’s (Cait Fairbanks) new song over the phone. Mariah thought it sounded different than Tessa’s usual music, but she told her girlfriend it would be a huge hit. Tessa talked about how great Tanner (Chase Coleman) gets treated and mentioned a private party on a yacht later. Mariah did her best to be supportive, but she worried about the situation.

After she hung up, Mariah saw Summer (Hunter King) and said something snarky about Summer’s two poodles — Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Theo (Tyler Johnson). Summer wasn’t in the mood for fighting, and she opened up to Mariah about her concerns over Kyle because he’s been letting Theo get to him. Mariah once again said something snarky, but Summer insisted that Kyle was risking everything. Mariah agreed to talk to Kyle, worried that Summer was right.

On the Crimson Lights patio, Lily ran into Billy. She was happy to see him, and he apologized for blowing up her marriage. Lily admitted that she’s not mad about the way things turned out. Now she’s living a life of purpose helping prisoners. Billy asked Lily to give him some of her wisdom. Lily said she was going to meet Jill (Jess Walton), and Billy called somebody and made plans to meet.

Finally, at The Grand Phoenix, Phyllis propositioned Chance while Abby (Melissa Ordway) watched. Phyllis asked Chance to hire her for his new business. Then, Phyllis went to talk to Amanda (Mishael Morgan). Abby walked over to Chance and said he could date Phyllis since they weren’t exclusive. Instead, Chance asked Abby out on a date, but she was busy.

Meanwhile, Phyllis updated Amanda on her new plans to work with Chance instead of taking back the hotel. Then Amanda needed to go, and Phyllis wondered if Amanda had a date. After that, Phyllis walked back over to Chance, and she stuck her backside right in his face when she walked away.
