Jack is Horrified to Discover Ashley is Under Hypnosis – She is Poisoning Sharon and Phyllis | Y&R Shock

In the shadowy depths of Genoa City, where deception is second nature and hidden agendas lurk behind every corner, a sinister truth begins to unravel—one that shakes the Abbott family to its core. Jack Abbott, ever the protector, stumbles upon a chilling revelation: his beloved sister Ashley has fallen victim to a manipulative mastermind.

Once undergoing treatment in Paris for her mental health, Ashley’s return home was anything but a recovery. Instead of healing, she had unknowingly been subjected to Martin’s ruthless hypnosis. Under his cold and calculated influence, Ashley was no longer herself. She had become nothing more than an obedient pawn, stripped of her free will, her mind twisted to serve Martin’s dark agenda.

Jack and Traci, deeply unsettled by Martin’s presence in their lives, had long suspected something nefarious. Their worst fears came true when they discovered Ashley’s chilling new role—she had been tasked with administering dangerous, untraceable toxins to Sharon and Phyllis. The realization sent shivers down their spines. The kind-hearted and strong-willed Ashley they once knew was gone, replaced by a programmed puppet, unknowingly poisoning two of Genoa City’s most resilient women.

Determined to save his sister and expose Martin’s treacherous scheme, Jack covertly follows Ashley and Martin into the dark alleys of the city, where secrets are exchanged under flickering streetlights. His heart pounds as he watches Ashley, eerily silent and unwavering, standing by Martin’s side like a lifeless sentinel. The sight fills him with rage and sorrow—his vibrant, independent sister was now an instrument of destruction.

Traci, the ever-level-headed voice of reason, urges Jack to act cautiously. They need a plan, a way to break Ashley free from Martin’s influence without alerting him. One misstep could push Martin to vanish, taking Ashley, Sharon, and Phyllis with him, leaving nothing but unanswered questions and broken lives in his wake.

A plan quickly takes shape. Traci deliberately causes a distraction, knocking over a stack of metal crates. The sudden noise jolts Martin’s attention, and in that split second, Jack seizes his moment. He dashes forward, grasping Ashley’s arm with desperation. “Ashley, listen to me!” he pleads, his voice thick with emotion. For a fleeting moment, something flickers in Ashley’s vacant eyes—a crack in the hypnotic armor that held her captive. Hope surges within Jack, but Martin is quick to react.

With venomous rage, Martin lunges toward Jack, snarling, “Get away from her!” The dark alley erupts into chaos as Jack and Traci stand their ground, determined to free Ashley from Martin’s grasp. A violent struggle ensues, a desperate battle not just for Ashley’s freedom but for the lives of Sharon and Phyllis as well. Martin’s grip on Ashley is slipping, and he knows it.

Ashley’s mind begins to stir, the ironclad control Martin once held over her starting to wane. Memories flash before her eyes, fragments of her true self resurfacing. But Martin, recognizing the threat, signals to an unseen accomplice. The realization dawns on Jack—Martin is about to make a last-ditch effort to escape, potentially taking Sharon and Phyllis to a new, undisclosed location, erasing any trace of his crimes.

Jack’s rage boils over. He won’t let Martin win. With one final, desperate act, he fights to shatter the hypnotic chains binding his sister. The battle rages on, each move a fight for survival, for truth, and for Ashley’s soul. Will Jack be able to break through and bring Ashley back before it’s too late? Or will Martin’s sinister grip tighten, pulling her deeper into the darkness?

Genoa City is no stranger to betrayal, but this time, the stakes are higher than ever. The Abbott family is at war—not just with an external enemy, but with a force that threatens to tear them apart from the inside. The clock is ticking, and Jack must make a move before everything he holds dear slips through his fingers.
