After enduring months of torment from her harrowing kidnapping, Sharon Newman is on

the verge of collapse. The emotional scars left behind continue to haunt her, leaving her desperate for relief.

Determined to heal, Sharon turns to therapy, believing that professional help will be the key to overcoming her trauma. But in a devastating twist, she places her trust in the wrong person—an error that could cost her dearly.

Seeking guidance, Sharon turns to Alan Lauron, a man she believes is a reputable therapist. However, unbeknownst to her, Alan is not who he claims to be. He is an imposter, a cunning con artist who has assumed the identity of a respected psychologist to manipulate her. As Sharon begins her sessions with Alan, she unknowingly opens the door to further danger. She confides in him, sharing her darkest fears and memories of the abduction, unaware that she is walking straight into a trap.

Meanwhile, Tracy Abbott, a longtime friend of Sharon, grows increasingly suspicious. She listens to Sharon recount her experiences, including chilling details about her captivity. Sharon recalls hearing eerie voices while imprisoned, voices that seemed to know exactly how to break their spirits. She confesses that their captors not only inflicted physical pain but also engaged in psychological manipulation, leaving her and Phyllis Summers mentally shattered. As she describes the calculated nature of the torment, Tracy begins to connect the dots.

Tracy’s unease deepens when she remembers a cryptic message she once received from Alan regarding stopping a “gassing” at a clinic. Something about it never sat right with her, and now, with Sharon’s revelation, the puzzle pieces start falling into place. She begins to suspect that Alan may have a deeper connection to Sharon’s past suffering than anyone realizes.

As Sharon continues her therapy with Alan, she remains blind to the red flags. She convinces herself that Alan can help her uncover the identity of the mastermind behind her kidnapping. In her desperation, she even suggests that Phyllis join the sessions, believing that together they can unearth the truth. However, Tracy is not so sure. She warns Sharon that Alan’s current location in Paris makes his involvement even more questionable. But Sharon refuses to let go of her belief that Alan is the key to solving the mystery.

Determined to take matters into her own hands, Sharon meets with Phyllis and Nick Newman at GCAC to share her findings. She tells them about Alan, insisting that his expertise in hypnosis and psychology could be their best shot at uncovering the person pulling the strings. Phyllis, though skeptical, cannot deny that they need answers.

As Sharon places her trust in Alan, she unknowingly falls deeper into a sinister web. The question remains—will she and Tracy figure out the truth before it’s too late? Or has Sharon’s mistake sealed her fate forever? The danger lurking ahead could be far greater than she ever imagined, and the shocking revelations to come will turn her world upside down.
