have targeted their son, but it’s hard to imagine what he had planned. Nick is going to call his father to have some eyes put on him. He plans to surprise him at the club and get some answers.

 

 

With her hungover eyes hidden behind sunglasses, Claire pokes at an omelet as she has breakfast with Nikki and Victoria at the hotel. They wonder if Claire did something she regrets. The only thing she’s regretting is her headache. Nikki wonders if she’s managed to figure

 

 

anything out on her trip. Claire admits she’s feeling more confused than ever, but she plans to live for the moment. It also seems like it’s time to get back home.

Claire holden Y&R

Before she goes, Claire wants to see the mountains and drop in on Sienna to thank her for her hospitality. Holden guesses she hasn’t let go of her interest in Audra’s past. Claire will admit she’d like to have some ammunition for the next inevitable fight with that woman. Holden still believes some skeletons are better kept in the closet.

At The Shadow Room, Mitch tells Sienna he has no clue why Nick and Sharon think he’s this Matt Clark character. Sienna can’t understand it either. They discuss her working late, crashing in the office, and not calling him. She admits that all the questions about Noah have her frazzled. He may have met up with someone at the club who tried to kill him, which could implicate them in this mess. Mitch thinks she’s overreacting, adding that the whole mess will go away if Noah doesn’t pull through.Despite Mitch’s hopes that Noah will succumb, Sharon arrives in her son’s hospital room to his finger fidgeting, and then gasps when his hand starts to move. “Mom,” he groans. Sharon calls in the doctor, who explains that they began easing her son out of the coma this morning. Noah asks his mom what happened. She urges him not to tax himself. Even though she doesn’t want to let go of his hand, she needs to spread the good news.

Rushing out the door, Sharon runs into Victoria and Nikki and can’t contain her tears of joy. She admits she was terrified this would be Cassie all over again. The trio enters Noah’s room and he tells them he loves them. As they fuss over him, Sharon steps away to make calls. Noah questions Nikki about the crash, but she urges him to rest and build up his strength.
