The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, September 4, convince Sharon that Nick may have a point.

Promises, Promises

Nicholas (Joshua Morrow) is worried about Sharon (Sharon Case). So worried that he even talked about his first ex-wife with his (we’ll admit it, we lost count) ex-wife. That was a bad idea.

Nick realizes that Faith’s (Reylynne Castor) recent car accident plunged Sharon down the rabbit hole of remembering Cassie’s (Camryn Grimes) death under similar circumstances. And Sharon wasn’t doing too great before that. (Chatting with an invisible dead guy is a sign of all not being well.) So Nick tries to get Sharon to take better care of herself. Whatever that may end up meaning. Sharon promises to do so. Whatever that may end up meaning.

My Twenty-Two Cents

Faith’s accident also involved Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Braint). Lucy isn’t just Daniel and Heather’s (Vail Bloom) daughter. She is—and this is the key part—Phyllis’ (Michelle Stafford) granddaughter. This means Phyllis not only can but SHOULD get involved—at least, according to Phyllis.

So, while Nick is helping Sharon process this latest blow, Phyllis invites herself in to chat with Faith and explain to her ex-stepdaughter how she should react to the event. Nick and Sharon can thank her later.

Gentle Parenting

Meanwhile, Daniel and Heather have tried ignoring Lucy’s lies. They’ve tried calling out Lucy’s lies. They’ve tried punishing her, and they’ve tried carrots over sticks. Nothing is working. Lucy is still lying to them, drinking in secret, and now causing accidents that don’t just affect her but other people. L

ucy is in trouble, and it’s up to her parents to deal with it. Except Daniel and Heather can’t agree on how. Neither one of them had a great upbringing. Heather’s mom, April, was married to an abusive guy she eventually killed. Daniel was raised by Danny (Michael Damian), who did his best to protect the boy from Phyllis’s influence even though he wasn’t Daniel’s biological father. The jury is still out on that.

The point is that Daniel and Heather are low on role models who can teach them how to deal with a kid who’s acting out. But they’d better think of something—soon.
