Monday, March 17, 2025
Sharon (Sharon Case), finally free, expressed deep gratitude to Nick (Joshua Morrow) for rescuing her and vowed to never take her life for granted again. However, Sharon wasn’t ready to simply move on; she was determined to uncover who was behind the kidnapping. She admitted to Nick that she and Phyllis had briefly suspected their own children. While Nick was just relieved they were safe, Sharon found an unexpected silver lining in her improved relationship with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), though she couldn’t shake the feeling that their captor had a deep psychological understanding.
Elsewhere, Sally (Courtney Hope) expressed her concern to Billy (Jason Thompson) about how quickly he had rushed to help Phyllis, fearing it might have been a trap. Billy regretted not trusting Phyllis initially, but Sally reassured him it wasn’t his fault. He was just thankful they arrived in time to save her. Meanwhile, Phyllis, now free, reveled in simple freedoms like choosing her own meal. Although Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and Summer (Allison Lanier) were overjoyed to see her safe, they worried that the danger wasn’t over. Phyllis, however, remained firm, refusing to let fear control her.
As Phyllis visited Billy (Jason Thompson) later, she revealed her need to return to work to regain control of her life. Billy, concerned she was pushing herself too hard, apologized for excluding her from a press release. The two reconciled, reaffirming their partnership. Meanwhile, Chance (Conner Floyd) and the GCPD made a breakthrough with a crucial clue, a gas line valve, that could lead them to the kidnapper.
At the same time, Traci (Beth Maitland) grew suspicious of Alan (Christopher Cousins) when she discovered cryptic messages and alerts about a security breach on his phone, raising more questions about what’s really going on in his life.

Summer tracked down Kyle (Micheal Mealor) to update him on her mother’s situation. She told him about the ongoing kidnappings of Sharon and Phyllis, though neither of them could understand the motive behind the abductions. Summer felt something was off, even though there appeared to be no clear reason for the kidnappings. She vowed to not rest until the kidnapper was caught. Their conversation was interrupted when Claire (Hayley Erin) arrived, creating an awkward moment between the three of them.
Later, Victor (Eric Braeden) found Kyle and Summer having lunch. Summer joked about treating Kyle to a “mercy lunch” since Claire had canceled, but Victor was more interested in Kyle’s relationship with Jack. Kyle sensed Victor wasn’t being sincere and called him out for his fake politeness. He accused Victor of having an agenda, which was true, but Victor refused to admit it. Summer later speculated that Victor was trying to push her and Kyle back together.
Meanwhile, Holden (Nathan Owens) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) found themselves tangled in past emotions. Audra questioned why Holden was still in town, and he admitted that bad weather had delayed his flight, but he wasn’t upset about it. Audra insisted that their past was behind them, but Holden didn’t believe it. He sensed she was sending mixed signals, which Audra didn’t deny. After some back-and-forth, she admitted the text he saw was from Nate, who was trying to prove he wasn’t jealous. Holden wanted to show Audra that he was worth a second chance, but she remained uncertain, even though she accepted his invitation to lunch.
Elsewhere, Damian (Jermaine River) interrupted a conversation between Lily, Devon, and Nate about Amy’s (Valarie Pettiford) hospitalization. Nate learned that Amy’s new experimental treatment had begun immediately. Damian expressed concern about getting to Chicago in time, and Nate suggested they go together. Lily hoped this marked a positive turn for Amy. As Nate and Damian prepared to leave for Chicago, Lily (Christel Khalil) and Devon saw Audra having lunch with Holden. Lily couldn’t shake the feeling that Nate was heading for heartbreak.

Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) were thrilled to see how happy Traci was after her romantic proposal. They admired her ring, but Jack felt uneasy about how quickly things were moving. His concerns deepened when he learned the groom had gone to Paris. Still, Jack agreed to walk Traci down the aisle when she asked.
While having a meal together, Traci confided in Jack about some strange texts she had seen on Alan’s phone. She wondered if it was a security breach, but Traci dismissed Jack’s concerns, trusting Alan’s explanation. She believed Alan would never pretend to be someone he wasn’t, as he was always genuine. Despite the odd situation, Jack tried to reassure himself that everything was fine.
As the conversation shifted to Sharon and Phyllis’s shocking ordeal, Kyle joined them. They discussed how Sharon and Phyllis had been kidnapped and trapped in an abandoned hospital, which seemed even stranger when connected to the texts Alan had received, as he believed his phone was hacked. However, no one suspected Alan of foul play, as they saw him as a good guy.
Meanwhile, Sharon attempted to convince Nick to join her and Faith on a trip to London to visit Noah, but Nick decided it was best to let Sharon spend time alone with their children. During a heart-to-heart, Nick asked Sharon if she still thought about them as a couple. Sharon admitted that she did, though both acknowledged their complicated history. The moment was interrupted when Summer expressed concern over Phyllis’s emotional state. Nick immediately went to check on his ex.
Elsewhere, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) confronted Adam (Mark Grossman) about a tense phone call and made him take a break from work and dine on the romantic breakfast-for-dinner she whipped up. Soon, their playful banter led to a night of romance, passion, and a deep connection, as they threw caution to the wind and enjoyed a memorable evening together.
