    Sharon’s painful dilemma at the hospital

    In Los Angeles, Sharon Newman told Nick how worried she was about Mariah. She wanted to be there for her daughter but couldn’t leave Noah’s bedside. Seeing him still reminded her of his childhood and made her pain worse.

    Nick comforted Sharon, saying Mariah was being cared for and that she should focus on Noah’s recovery. After talking to Mariah’s doctors, Sharon sat quietly torn between her children. Nick then called Nikki to update her and shared his growing fear that Noah’s accident might not have been an accident.


    Nikki and Victor take action

    When Nick told Nikki about Sienna Bacall’s strange call and Detective Burrow’s questions, Nikki immediately grew suspicious. She promised to tell Victor, even though he was already asleep. Nick sent her Sienna’s details, sure that Victor would investigate.

    After the call, Nick went back to Sharon and they shared a quiet moment together. Sharon decided to stay with Noah, trusting the doctors to help Mariah. The moment showed Sharon’s strength as a mother trying to care for both her children.


    Daniel confesses his feelings to Tessa

    At the GCAC, Daniel kissed Tessa and quickly regretted it. He thought she would be angry but she said she had imagined it too. The moment was tense and both knew they couldn’t ignore their feelings.

    Later at Crimson Lights, they talked about what happened. Tessa said Daniel meant a lot to her and he admitted he was falling in love with her. He tried to take it back but Tessa told him it was better to be honest.

    Tessa said that in another life, things might be different but she still wanted to fix her marriage. They agreed not to let their feelings ruin their friendship. Their goodbye was sad but gentle as Tessa touched Daniel’s cheek before leaving.


    Mariah faces Ian Ward’s haunting presence

    At the Boston clinic, Mariah’s therapy took a dark turn when she saw Ian Ward again. He teased her and said she couldn’t get rid of him because she didn’t want to. Mariah argued with him and said they had nothing in common but Ian claimed they were the same and both drawn to darkness.

    Mariah admitted she had targeted Will Hensley because he reminded her of Ian. She nearly went too far but stopped herself before doing something terrible. Ian said that only showed how much control he still had over her but Mariah refused to believe him.

    As his voice grew louder, Mariah closed her eyes and focused until he was gone. Alone, she looked at the queen of hearts card, once a reminder of Ian’s control and felt her strength returning. The episode ended with Mariah finding courage, Sharon holding on to hope and Daniel struggling with forbidden love.
