Matt Clark Taunts Sienna One Last Time Before Everything Goes Wrong

Okay, Young and the Restless fans, this episode is an absolute ROLLERCOASTER! We start at that creepy motel where Matt Clark is looking at pictures of himself and Sienna while she lies unconscious on the bed. He mutters that wedding vows aren’t just suggestions, and today might be the day that “death separates them.” CHILLING!

When Sienna comes to, Matt says he’s glad she’s awake so they have a chance to say goodbye. He gave her everything, and all he asked for in return was her loyalty. Sienna fires back about his double standard with all the girls at the club through the years! She tries EVERYTHING to get through to him, reminding him that he always protected her before, but now he’s hurting her. She even suggests they could start over somewhere new together!

Matt isn’t buying any of it. He calls her offer insincere, and that’s when Sienna SNAPS! She calls him a rapist, a drug dealer, and an “angel of death” with all the overdoses in his wake. She accuses him of being obsessed with Sharon the entire time they were married! Matt admits he likes everything about Noah except that he slept with his wife. When Sienna keeps calling him “Mitch,” he corrects her and formally introduces himself as Matt Clark, warning that his real name means very bad things for her!

Victor Newman’s Men Swoop In and Rescue Sienna

Over at Newman Ranch, Victor gets confirmation that his men have Matt cornered with no way to escape. Adam offers to take his father’s place in the mission, worried that Victor will be at the top of Matt’s revenge list. But Victor refuses, saying Matt can come at him any time because he isn’t afraid of him! Adam doesn’t want a replay of when Victor was shot, but Victor insists Nick will take care of Matt and make sure he stays DOWN.

Meanwhile at Sharon’s house, Nick announces that he and Victor have devised a better plan. When he gets a message with Matt’s location, Noah wants to join, but Nick refuses. Sharon puts her foot down and says they’re wasting time, and Noah ISN’T staying there, and neither is SHE! An agitated Nick has no choice but to let them follow.

Back at the motel, Annie tells Matt the car is ready out front. He releases Sienna’s handcuffs, but Annie pulls a GUN on her! They rush Sienna outside, and Matt steals one last kiss from his estranged wife. But Sienna BITES HIS LIP! He credits her for drawing first blood but promises he’ll draw the last. That’s when a black SUV swoops in and orders everyone to get on their knees! Victor’s plan worked perfectly! Sienna bolts over to Noah, and Nick informs Matt Clark that he isn’t going to jail just yet.

Victor Newman Punches Matt Right in the Face

At Sharon’s house, Sienna promises Noah she’s okay. She can’t believe the pleasure Matt took from being in total control and credits Noah and his family for being the only reason she’s not in the ground right now. Sharon warns that the shock will come once the adrenaline wears off, but for now, this nightmare appears to be over.

But over at Newman Ranch, things are just getting started! Nick pushes Matt into the house where Victor and Adam are waiting. Victor tells him he would’ve done much better if he’d stayed DEAD, and then PUNCHES HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE! Nick clarifies that Matt will NEVER come near his family again. It’s the kind of Newman justice we live for!

Matt Attacks Nick Newman From the Backseat

Here’s where everything goes HORRIBLY WRONG, Young and the Restless fans! Matt is bound with zip ties and put into Nick’s car, with Nick driving him to who knows where. He starts running his mouth, saying Noah is in for a rude awakening when he realizes Sienna has had a long line of flings. Nick ignores him, so Matt switches tactics and brings up Sharon, Adam, and Nick. He tells Nick to ask Sharon who her favorite was, one of them or HIM!

Nick calls out his insanity, but Matt fires back that Nick’s decision to kill him personally is flawed because Nick isn’t a killer. While he’s talking, Matt is secretly working to undo the zip ties around his hands! He warns Nick that things won’t go the way he planned. And then he FREES HIMSELF and reaches around from the backseat, GRABBING Nick from behind as Nick struggles to keep the car on the road!


Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is Nick going to survive this attack? What happens when the car crashes?!
