Jack and Ashley rush to save Traci on The Young and the Restless

Jack will be seen springing into action after receiving a distressing call from Traci’s phone. Although Traci doesn’t directly ask for help, the fear in her voice and the tone of her conversation with “Alan” will be enough to raise red flags.

Jack will quickly loop Ashley in, and once she hears the exchange, she’ll share Jack’s concern that their sister is in immediate danger. Realizing that Traci might have called for her assistance in secret, they presume that she suspects "Alan" to be an impostor.

Jack and Ashley will dash into the suite with no idea what they will find but knowing fully well that every second is crucial due to Martin's history of manipulation and brutality.

Traci’s quiet test turns into a dangerous game on The Young and the Restless

Traci, while deeply conflicted, will continue her effort to manage the situation by testing “Alan’s” behavior. She’ll propose extending their engagement, not just as a delay tactic but to observe his reaction. Her plan is simple: real Alan would understand her caution, but Martin, posing as Alan, might react defensively or even aggressively.

Unfortunately, Traci’s instincts will prove right. His rage will simmer over, and he'll begin questioning her allegiance, suggesting that he thinks she's hiding something from him.

The psychological pressure will build, and Traci will be walking a tightrope, attempting to protect herself while confirming the man's true identity without provoking him further.

Chance connects the dots on The Young and the Restless

As the Abbott siblings try to keep the escalating crisis at bay, Chance will be occupied tracking down fresh leads. He'll be informed that surveillance gear was discovered at the farmhouse.

The camera feed was connected directly to the victims' holding room, which meant that the individual behind it had a much more sinister plan than anyone imagined. Chance will also reclaim phones and other evidence that could lead back to Martin Laurent.

With each lead, he'll become increasingly certain that Martin isn't dead but instead faking his death as "Alan." He'll receive a lead that informs him "Alan" is back in Genoa City again, so Chance races to the GCAC with hopes of catching Martin before he escapes again.

The truth shatters Traci’s world on The Young and the Restless

As Jack and Ashley arrive at the suite, Traci’s emotional restraint will begin to break. She’ll welcome the backup, but her heartbreak will be visible when Ashley states that “Alan” is Martin.

At first, Traci won’t want to believe it. She’ll struggle with the reality that the love and trust she invested in her relationship may have been entirely one-sided. Jack and Ashley will try to break it to her that she didn't know any better, but the betrayal will still hurt.

Traci will confess that she gave Alan a "test" to see how honest he is and that he failed, which only proved her suspicions right.

Chance will eventually appear and get into Martin's face in the GCAC dining room. No matter how much Martin struggles to maintain his composure, the weight of evidence will weigh heavily on him. When Traci steps in and demands to know who he is, tension will reach a boiling point.

Fans can watch The Young and the Restless on CBS.
