The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for the week of March 17-21 reveal that Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will score freedom while Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) faces horror. Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) will also become heroes, so here’s what Y&R fans can expect.

Sharon and Phyllis will get backed into a terrible corner and fear that losing the game will mean losing their lives!

Thankfully, Phyllis and Sharon will have some help once Nick and Billy make it to Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic.

Billy and Nick are next in line for some teamwork, so they should join forces to ensure Sharon and Phyllis make it out safely.

Once Nick and Billy pull off this rescue, they’ll no doubt earn Phyllis and Sharon’s gratitude.

You can bet Sharon will leap into Nick’s arms for a comforting embrace – and Phyllis may do the same with Billy once he comes through for her.

Of course, it’s possible some unexpected kisses could play out depending on how far Y&R wants to take these close moments.

Could Sharon pull Nick into a kiss while Phyllis plants a smooch on Billy?

We wouldn’t blame Phyllis and Sharon for getting carried away after the captivity chaos they’ve just endured!

However, there’ll at least be some hugs and some sighs of relief.

Phyllis and Sharon will eventually reunite with the rest of their loved ones as well, so they’ll all be glad once this abduction drama wraps up.

Meanwhile, Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) seems poised to get busted as the mastermind of Sharon and Phyllis’ kidnapping mayhem.

That means Martin should also get exposed for posing as his twin brother, Alan Laurent (Christopher Cousins).

Traci will face some horror and heartbreak once she realizes “Alan” is actually Martin, who survived his tumble in Paris and took over Alan’s life once again.

After Traci gets updates on this alarming news, she’ll definitely need her family’s support.

As for Claire Newman (Hayley Erin), she may hope Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) will back off Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) once Phyllis is rescued.

Claire might think Kyle can enforce stricter boundaries once he doesn’t have to take pity on his ex.

Unfortunately, Summer may not be done plotting against Kyle and Claire’s romance just yet.

There may be other strategies Summer uses to cross the line – at least until Kyle’s willing to put his foot down and say enough is enough.

Whatever the case, Claire may make some positive predictions about where things are headed with Kyle, but more obstacles could be looming thanks to Summer.

The Young and the Restless spoilers say the week of March 17-21 will bring some big curveballs, so stay tuned.
