The Young and the Restless: Nick has Sharon's recovery in mind
While The Young and the Restless audience may have been confused by the mixed signals given by Nick Newman, they know he is only worried about Sharon's mental well-being. On the episode dated October 8, 2024, he raised hopes for Sharon by offering to take her out for dinner and calling it a "date".
On the next day's episode, Sharon was seen getting decked up for her dinner with Nick. She showed off an earring, Nick gave her long ago, to Faith, hoping Nick would notice and take the relationship to the next level. However, as The Young and the Restless fans saw, Nick was taken aback by the effort Sharon had put into dressing up for the evening and apologized for being underdressed.
The real shocker of the episode came after the dinner when the audience saw Sharon and Nick kissing and getting romantically intimate on the sofa of her house. However, Cameron suddenly appeared and asked Sharon to snap out of her imagination. This hints at the fact that Sharon is reading too much into Nick's move.
While the audience knows that Nick is concerned about Sharon's mental health, he is currently not looking out for a romantic reunion with his former wife. He often discusses Sharon's condition with her daughters and informs them of the steps he might take to keep her mood buoyed, and the dinner was possibly one such move.
Sharon, on the other hand, is possibly dreaming of a romance in her current mental state, wanting to keep her man and her children close to herself. While she imagined getting intimate with him in the house, in reality, Nick gave her a hurried hug in the driveway and left without walking her to the door, as Cameron pointed out in the episode.

As such, Nick is trying his best to help her recover and will continue to support her through her treatment. However, he continues to find a friend in Phyllis who he turns to for advice. As actor Joshua Morrow, who plays Nick told Soap Opera Digest on September 19, Nick loves both his former wives but prefers to be a rock for whoever needs help and it is Sharon now.
