The Young and the Restless recap (January 24, 2025): Sharon returns home and Jordan says farewell

The Young and the Restless brought one of its long-running storylines to a conclusion in the past week on Friday, January 24, 2025. The villainess Jordan Howard was finally one-upped and bid goodbye on the latest episode of the soap.

In a confrontation between Jordan and the Newman family, Claire revealed to Jordan that she had been poisoned. Jordan chastised Claire for being weak and switching sides with the Newman family, but to no avail. The family (including Victor, Nikki, Victoria, and Claire) watched Jordan pass away, removing a major threat from their lives.

Meanwhile, Sharon returned home and shared an emotional reunion with Nick, Mariah, and Faith. On the other hand, Billy decided to try and put past grudges aside and start a new initiative afresh.

The Newman family finally confronted Jordan, with Claire at the lead. Claire admitted that she had poisoned Jordan's tea.

After Jordan passed away from the poison, Victor confronted Nikki and Victoria about their dangerous plan of taking on Jordan single-handedly. They then discussed how to tell the police the truth about Jordan's death, and how the villainess was intent on harming the family.
