The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers for Tuesday, February 19, tease that Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) will get some horrible news. She’ll find out that Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) has been arrested along with the other cover-up members. Mariah will realize major drama is headed her way, which means it could be headed for Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), too.
Naturally, Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) will try to figure out how much Mariah knew and when she knew it. He’s seen how protective Mariah is of Sharon. Rey may assume Mariah was part of the cover-up, which is accurate to some degree. Mariah didn’t witness anything that night, but she did hide the truth for the rest of the girls’ night gang.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Mariah will get grilled, so she’ll definitely be in a tight spot. She won’t want to land in police custody herself for lying to the cops. However, Mariah also won’t want to make matters worse for Sharon. She certainly won’t want to let Tessa get dragged into this nightmare.
Unfortunately, that may be unavoidable thanks to Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni). She intends to cut a deal with Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell), which could mean big trouble for everyone else involved. After all, if Christine is going to help Phyllis, she’ll want to know EVERYTHING. That may include the part about the cover-up crew returning to the burial site and learning the body was missing.
That could lead to questions about why they were going to dig up J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), which was the blackmail. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) took back the cash and the final thumb drive, but that doesn’t mean Tessa’s tracks were covered. Tessa originally had the money wired into a bank account, so this could be traced back to her. Even the emails could help the cops prove a connection.
Of course, Tessa was later kidnapped and tossed in the woods, which could also come out. At the time of the abduction, it seemed odd for Phyllis to not be part of it. That was right up her alley. However, maybe Y&R chose to leave Phyllis out so she could blab later. If she’d joined the kidnapping squad, she might’ve kept quiet about Tessa. Since Phyllis wasn’t there, she can say whatever she wants.
Then there’s the little matter of why Tessa needed the money. She was trying to pay off thugs who helped her smuggle her fugitive sister, Crystal Porter (Morgan Obenreder), into Canada. Thankfully, Phyllis doesn’t know that part of the story, so let’s hope none of this comes back on Crystal. After escaping a sex ring, that poor girl’s been through enough.
While Mariah tries to avoid a disaster in the interrogation room, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) will plan an interrogation of his own. The Young and the Restless spoilers say Kyle will blame Summer Newman (Hunter King) for going after Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle). He’ll feel confident that Summer was behind the attack, but Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) is actually responsible.
Summer’s in for a shock when Kyle lashes out. Will he believe Summer’s side of the story or try to take her down for something she didn’t do? We’ll give you updates as other Y&R details emerge.
