Jack's incredible discovery to Ashley on The Young and the Restless

Jack's revelation to Ashley will create a wedge between the Abbott brothers and sisters. After his earlier conversations with Ashley, Jack will reveal his speculations to Ashley that Martin Laurent, also known as "Alan," may not die.

In Jack's theory, "Alan" could have survived falling off the balcony and returned to Genoa City only to continue as someone else. Ashley will initially deny the proposition, but Jack's insistence will cause a spark of doubt in her mind.

As the truth gradually unfolds, Ashley will begin to consider the possibility that Martin, and not "Alan," is behind the bizarre occurrences concerning Traci's kidnapping.

At a pivotal moment, Ashley signaled that if Martin harmed her sister in any way, she would stop at nothing to retaliate against him. Her rage will fuel a fierce determination to protect Traci, but Jack will warn them to let Traci recuperate.

Jack will note that "Alan" doesn't return until the next day, so perhaps they can devise their next move carefully. Ashley's maternal instincts will overcome Jack's reserve, though, and she will want to see Traci immediately.

Traci’s terrifying confrontation with "Alan" on The Young and the Restless

Meanwhile, in Traci's bedroom, she will have a frightening meeting with "Alan" when he shows up sooner than she anticipated. Traci, still torn with her suspicions, will attempt to hide her anxiety by feigning excitement about their forthcoming wedding.

But "Alan" will soon realize something is amiss in her behavior, and his annoyance will be clear. When Traci offers to slow down their proceedings, his distrust will increase. Realizing that she is in a vulnerable position, Traci will silently call out to Jack for assistance, hoping he can reach her in time.

As she tucks her phone into her pocket, she will attempt to remain calm, though the tension will be thick as "Alan" insists on knowing why she should fear him now. Jack, who has overheard this conversation, will be shocked and will realize that Traci is in grave jeopardy.

Sharon and Phyllis reconsider their next steps on The Young and the Restless

Over town, Sharon Summers and Phyllis Summers will be pondering the identity of the kidnapper. The two women will commiserate about the investigation's lack of progress.

While Phyllis will be demanding that action be taken immediately, Sharon will be pondering the situation, questioning whether there's more to the tale than they know. As they go on to discuss, they will arrive at the disturbing realization that Martin, and not "Alan," may be the real mastermind behind the kidnapping.

Sharon will start to reconsider her intended trip to London, realizing that their kidnapper may still be hiding nearby.

Chance's shocking discovery on The Young and the Restless

Meanwhile, Chance Chancellor will be receiving reports from the Paris clinic which would yield even more shocking details. He will discover that certain major purchases in connection with the kidnapping had been unauthorized and will suspect that the system had been breached.

This would bring on an even wider conspiracy by "Alan" and Martin. Although Chance won't tell all, he will propose that the person they thought was "Alan" might be Martin Laurent, the twin brother with a troubled past on The Young and the Restless.

Fans can watch The Young and the Restless on CBS.
