Thursday’s episode of The Young and the Restless begins with Sharon facing emotional moments as she drives off a bridge. The show then flashes back to three hours earlier, revealing how Sharon ended up in that situation.
At Daniel and Heather’s penthouse, Heather confronts Sharon, disbelieving her stories. Sharon eventually admits to breaking in, claiming she wanted to convince Daniel to leave town. Heather suspects something more sinister and decides to involve the police, suggesting Sharon needs professional help.
Sharon pleads with Heather to let it go, but Heather insists on calling the police. A struggle ensues, leading to Heather’s brief unconsciousness. Upon waking, Heather accuses Sharon, who ultimately blackouts. When she regains consciousness, she finds Heather dead from a severe head wound.
“Cameron Kirsten” points out that Sharon was alone with Heather, implying her guilt. Sharon struggles to process the situation, and “Cameron” suggests pleading insanity but questions the impact on Nick and her children. Sharon decides to erase the crime scene, wrapping Heather’s body and cleaning up any evidence.
Sharon drives to a bridge, begging Heather for forgiveness as she disposes of the body in the river. Emotionally, she returns to her hideout, where “Cameron” insists on keeping her guilt private. He urges Sharon to act surprised upon hearing the news of Heather’s disappearance and provides a cover story. “Cameron” reminds Sharon of the stakes, but she is unsure if she can pretend nothing happened.
The Young and the Restless airs Tuesday, September 26, at 12:30 PM on CBS.
