• Abby receives reassuring news about her health scare
• Sharon pushes Nick for answers about Matt Clark
• Nikki and Diane clash over their competing offers

Tessa And Mariah Reunite

On the Crimson Lights patio, Tessa and Mariah talk about their daughter and how much Sharon has inspired her.

Mariah admits she’s missed laughing with Tessa, and they marvel at how close they came to losing moments like this forever.

Not long ago, even a quiet coffee date seemed impossible; Mariah still struggles to forgive herself, but Tessa gently says it wasn’t really her—it was the voice in her head.

Grateful for a second chance, they share stories about what they once took for granted—then Tessa suggests Mariah return to their bedroom.

Mariah wants to recommit, but fears hurting Tessa and their daughter again; Tessa assures her that, if they work together, things can feel easy.

Daniel Interrupts

They laugh, hug, and start kissing—just as Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) arrives at the worst possible moment.

After an awkward exchange of compliments, Mariah slips away to answer a text and get lattes.

Daniel tells Tessa he’s glad to see her happy and that the “weirdness” is behind them.

They trade updates about their kids, and he says working for his mother is already a headache.

Devon Winters (Bryton James) has offered him a job at his school, but Tessa can’t imagine Daniel as a corporate guy.

She tells him to flip a coin, confident he’ll make the right choice; he agrees and rushes off, making his decision with more certainty than any coin could provide.

Abby Waits For Answers

An ambulance arrives outside Society for Abby as Devon finishes a call and tries to soothe his breathless wife.

At the hospital, he finds his cousin Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), who has been monitoring Abby’s case.

Nate says the tests are still underway, assures Devon she’s receiving excellent care, and encourages him to stay positive because attitude can help with recovery.

Abby joins them after being given medication; she remembers they need to pick up their son, but Devon has already asked Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) to take care of it.

Seeing how worried he is, Abby fears she may have heart disease like Jill Abbott (Jess Walton); Devon urges her to wait for the doctor, but her thoughts are already racing.

Nate Says Abby’s OK

Nate returns with the verdict: all of Abby’s test results are clear, nothing worrisome has turned up, and she is a healthy young woman who has probably been drinking far too much coffee.

The Winters couple thanks him for sharing such monumental news, and Nate gently advises Abby to take it easy.

After he leaves, Abby admits that it is difficult to shake off the fear and accept that nothing is wrong.

A heart scare resolved by cutting back on lattes may be the least dramatic thing to happen in Genoa City all week—but after everything she has been through, Abby has more than earned the chance to breathe easy and enjoy every minute of it.

Sharon Won’t Drop It

At Crimson Lights, Sharon reassures Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) that she’ll always stand by him, then asks if he has taken any of the pills he’s carrying.

He hasn’t opened a single bag, though he admits he was tempted; Sharon takes the pills to hand over to the police.

Nick confides that discovering her with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) almost drove him to use again, but Sharon points out that he still managed to control his anger.

She then asks what, exactly, he did with Matt.

Nick refuses to tell her, but Sharon has never been one to take “let it go” as anything more than a suggestion, so she keeps pushing.

Sharon And Nick Argue, As Mariah Interrupts

He tells Sharon to move on; she says she wants to, but he sounds guilty, and she deserves to know the truth.

Mariah interrupts, asking what’s going on, then Nick abruptly leaves, and Mariah asks if he’s using again.

Sharon brushes it off and changes the subject to their daughter; they discuss Tessa and Daniel, and Mariah insists she isn’t bothered, grateful Daniel was there for Tessa when she couldn’t be.

The conversation returns to Nick, and Sharon admits they argued about Matt; since Nick won’t talk to her, she leaves to find the one person he will.

When Nick returns to apologize, he runs into Mariah and Tessa—Mariah says her mom just left to meet someone—and Nick can’t help wondering who.

Nikki And Diane Present Daniel With Competing Offers

At the GCAC, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) present Daniel with competing offers to rent the club.

“I think I’d like to phone a friend,” he says; the day’s smartest remark.

Neither woman gives an inch, and Nikki warns that betting against the Newmans would be a grave mistake.

Daniel promises to consider both offers and respond later, then watches the two women trade insults.

Diane mocks Nikki for paying for Audra Charles’ (Zuleyka Silver) “nauseating” perfume, suggesting charity work would suit her better.

Nikki Brags About Her Success At Chancellor, Diane Claps Back

Nikki boasts about her success at Chancellor, but Diane notes that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) gave the company to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), suggesting he didn’t trust Nikki either.

Diane even claims Victor gave Nikki Vibrante so he could enjoy punching his heavy bag in peace.

Nikki calls her jealous; Diane says her past attraction to Victor was youthful ignorance.

Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) joins in, describes what real love looks like, and tells Nikki to keep her “toxic trauma bond” to herself.

Nikki says the exchange has only strengthened her resolve to flaunt her victory over Diane.

Annemarie’s Take

I’m relieved Abby’s medical scare turned out to be nothing serious, but Nick’s behavior is another story! He’s hiding something about Matt, and Sharon knows it. I don’t think she’ll stop digging until she gets the truth. Meanwhile, Nikki and Diane trading insults is always entertaining, but poor Daniel is caught right in the middle. And I’m glad Mariah and Tessa are finally finding their way back to each other!
