The Young and the Restless: Mariah's past haunts her, and stresses everyone

On The Young and the Restless, Mariah's recent trip did not go as planned; she returned looking stressed. Upon her return, Tessa confronted her about her past, where she revealed that she can not reveal what happened. However, when Sharon asked if she had been unfaithful, Mariah replied, "so much worse."

Sharon was dressed and chose to care for her daughter instead of attending any event. So, when Nick asked her if she would be going to Aristotle Dumas's private island party, she declined. He was unhappy but understood that she was needed here. However, when Maria learned that Sharon was not attending the exclusive event and had decided to stay back with her, she convinced her otherwise. Eventually, Sharon decided to go to France for the event.

Elsewhere, when Tessa tries to support Maria during her emotional low, she first gives up and reveals something about seeing Ian Ward, getting drunk, and blaming herself for what happened next. She was upset but quickly retracted her words and ran away from her. Maria runs into Daniel, and when asked if everything was okay, judging by her facial expression, she lashed out at him, telling him to mind his own business. This week has been stressful for Maria as she distances herself more from Tessa.
