Let’s dive into the dramatic events unfolding on The Young and the Restless—specifically from the episodes aired Wednesday, April 9 and Thursday, April 10, 2025.

Wednesday, April 9 Recap: Unmasking the Truth

Ashley Abbott is growing increasingly suspicious and finally confirms that Martin Laurent may be impersonating his brother Alan. After a tense conversation with Summer Newman, Ashley begins to put the pieces together. Meanwhile, Summer might be reigniting old feelings for Kyle Abbott—especially if Phyllis’s fears are accurate.

At Sharon Newman’s place, she’s still with Nick Newman when Chance Chancellor arrives with critical updates. Investigators have discovered a surveillance setup in a farmhouse linked to the Paris clinic—one that was streaming the room where Sharon and Phyllis were once held captive. Their phones were also found inside, and DNA testing is underway. Since Martin was arrested in the past and Alan’s fingerprints may be on file, Chance is determined to uncover the truth.

At the GCAC, Jack Abbott places Tracy’s call with “Alan” on speakerphone. Both Jack and Ashley are alarmed by his evasive answers and Tracy’s growing fear. Jack quickly alerts Chance, who rushes out, leaving Sharon alone with Nick. Sharon opens up about how emotionally exhausting everything has been, but Nick reminds her of her strength and resilience.

Back in Tracy’s suite, the tension rises. Alan becomes agitated and questions Tracy’s motives, especially when Jack arrives at the door. Tracy tries to act calm, but the relief is clear when her brother steps in. Ashley and Jack pretend this is a family reunion, but Ashley remains wary of Alan—especially when he fails to remember a personal moment they once shared.

Eventually, Alan requests some time alone with Tracy, and she gives him a gentle kiss, holding on to hope. However, once he exits, Ashley drops a bombshell—she’s convinced that the man isn’t Alan at all, but Martin. Tracy is heartbroken, struggling to accept that she may have fallen in love with a fraud. Ashley reassures her sister—Martin is a master manipulator, and no one could have seen through him easily. Tracy breaks down in Ashley’s arms.

As Jack updates Chance, Alan (Martin) leaves the suite, only to be confronted by Chance at the bar. Chance begins questioning him about the Paris farmhouse lease. Alan denies everything, acting confused and angry. But Chance invites him to explain things—down at the station.

Thursday, April 10 Recap: The Trap Closes

The trap is set. At the GCAC, Martin Laurent is arrested after Sharon and Phyllis team up to confront him. Though he continues pretending to be Alan, Ashley demands he stop the charade. Jack nearly lunges at him, but Chance steps in. Tracy tries to coax the truth from Martin, but he plays the victim all the way to the interrogation room.

At the station, Martin tries to maintain his innocence, but Chance remains confident—especially once the fingerprint results from the farmhouse come back. Sharon and Phyllis soon arrive to face their tormentor. Their questions hit hard, and Phyllis taunts him with a bottle of water, daring him to drink it if he’s not afraid.

When Sharon accuses Martin of running a twisted experiment, he snaps—but quickly regains his composure, claiming frustration over the false accusations. As he rambles about Martin’s “genius” and breakthroughs with Ashley, Sharon and Phyllis act like his experiment failed. They stage an argument, pretending to hate each other even more than before—playing right into Martin’s ego.

Martin takes the bait. He launches into a furious rant, denying Alan’s worth and boasting about his own “success.” He truly believes he helped Sharon and Phyllis—and sees no crime in what he did. But Chance disagrees. After one final round of taunts, Martin is handcuffed and arrested, his arrogance finally his undoing.

Meanwhile, Tracy, wracked with guilt, blames herself for falling for Martin’s lies. Ashley and Jack are there to reassure her. Later, Tracy quietly removes her engagement ring—finally accepting the truth. Sharon and Phyllis comfort her, reminding her that Martin’s confession marked the end of this painful chapter.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next on Y&R?

In the upcoming episodes, fans can expect emotional recovery, shocking revelations, and new beginnings. Tracy, Sharon, and Phyllis now have a chance to heal—but the road won’t be easy. Meanwhile, Summer Newman may be heading down a risky path when it comes to her feelings for Kyle Abbott.
