Young and the Restless reveals that Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) blows up the abandoned garage where he trapped Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Noah Newman. But Matt waited to do it till Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) also showed up.
So, things look really dire by the end of Tuesday’s episode. But come on, we know the Newmans aren’t dead. However, I have a feeling Matt’s going to be pushing up daisies before May sweeps is over.
And his not so loving wife Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) may be the one to kill him. So, we’re going to talk about why and how Sienna might sacrifice herself to make sure Matt dies and his reign of terror is over.
The Newmans Will Survive on Young and the Restless
So, by the end of Tuesday’s episode, things look really dire for the Newmans after Matt makes the building go boom. But come on, we’ve seen Adam survive a bigger explosion. Remember when that cabin went up? You remember Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) chained him up, blew him sky high. He was fine a couple of years later.
So, I have no doubt all the Newmans survive. And that means Matt is not done with them. So Sienna may step up to save the Newmans because they saved her. You know, she had no idea that she was married to a monster. So, she may try and stop Matt once and for all. And Sienna may think it is her responsibility.
Sienna Tries to Bargain with Matt on Y&R
So, this week, after Matt leaves the abandoned garage, somehow Sienna caught up to Matt and she hops in his car. Then Sienna is trying to play let’s make a deal with her sociopathic husband and she offers Matt a trade. If he lets the Newmans go, Sienna will forgive him and get back together with him.
But Matt says Sienna gave up on them and she was cheating with Noah. All true. But Sienna isn’t going to stop pushing and she reminds Matt of how romantic they used to be, what a great team they were. And he tells Sienna, “Sounds good, but he doesn’t think she is over Noah.”
But then Sienna tells more lies and says Matt’s the person who really gets her and Sienna is pleading with him to just let Sharon and Noah and Adam and Nick go, but he doesn’t. And instead Matt pushes a button and he blows the garage sky-high. It’s a very nice May sweeps explosion. Reminds me of the Chuck Pratt days. Remember the catastrophes we used to have?
The Newmans Make It Back to Genoa City on Young and the Restless
So, things look pretty bleak, but we already know from the promo and spoilers they survive. Adam is back with Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) at the Vegas hotel room this week. Adam is looking a little worse for wear, but I’m guessing they escaped out the back or side door before everything went boom. So, later this week, Adam confronts Nick about his drug use, and by Friday, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is pressuring Nick to confess about the addiction issues.
That same day on Friday, Young and the Restless spoilers have Sharon questioning Sienna’s loyalty. So, that sounds like all the Newmans make it back to Genoa City in one piece. And it also sounds like Sienna might be back in town as well. And with Sharon doubting Sienna, that sounds like she’s made some sort of devil’s bargain with Matt after he found out that he didn’t actually kill his Newman targets. But if Sienna cuts a deal with Matt, I don’t think it’s legit. I’m guessing it’s because Sienna has a trick up her sleeve and a plan to take down Matt.
I do suspect Sienna is going to sacrifice herself to save Noah. And that means she would probably be the one to take out Matt. And it seems increasingly likely also because Y&R seems to be setting the stage for a Noah and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) reunion. So, if Sienna sacrifices her life to take Matt’s so that Noah won’t live in terror for the rest of his life, let’s talk about how she might do it.
How Sienna Might Take Out Matt on Young and the Restless
First of all, Sienna might take a page directly from Matt’s book. She may help him rig some explosives like he did at the garage, and Sienna may promise to lure the Newmans into Matt’s new trap to prove herself. But instead, Sienna may trigger the blast to blow up her and Matt.
Sienna may be able to convince Matt that she wants to try again, you know, because the Newmans won’t accept her, primarily because of him. Sienna may promise all sorts of stuff to lure Matt into trusting her long enough for her to explode him like he tried to explode Noah and his family.
Sienna Takes a Bullet on Y&R?
Another option is Matt might go gunning for the Newmans with actual guns. He may figure the best way to make sure Noah, Sharon, Nick, and Adam die is to look them in the eye and put bullets in them. But if Matt tries that, I could see Sienna jumping in front of Noah to protect him.
And Sienna takes a bullet instead and then wrestles Matt for the gun and shoots him dead. Maybe even shoots him a few times because the guy’s hard to kill. And Sienna will probably want to make sure that he’s really dead and then, you know, she dies, too.
Young and the Restless: Sienna & Matt Die Thelma & Louise Style
Another option, car crash that kills both Sienna and Matt. She’s in his car as of Tuesday’s episode. So Sienna could wind up back in Matt’s vehicle later. Sienna may agree to take off with Matt, but then grabs the wheel and runs him off the road. Kind of like when Matt ran Noah off the road in LA. Another page from his playbook. So, you know, Sienna could yank the wheel and drive them off a bridge or off a cliff Thelma and Louise style. You know, anything to stop Matt for good.
Another twisted option is Sienna might make a suicide pact with Matt. You know, if he’s figured out he’s going to be arrested and can’t escape it, Sienna might offer him a deal to end it together because Matt’s not going to want to spend life in prison. And I’m sure that Sienna doesn’t trust the system because they arrested and released Matt once already when he was doing terrible things.
So, Sienna may suggest they go the romantic and very twisted Bonnie and Clyde route and die together. Could be death by cop like the gangster couple or some other twisted method for Matt and Sienna to die together. You know, he might think it’s romantic and would be happy that Noah won’t wind up with her.
Young and the Restless: Karma Comes for Matt
Now, my personal favorite option is this one. Sienna may drug Matt with his own bad fentanyl. Talk about a karmic slap in the face. Sienna may plan to overdose him like Matt did to Nick. And Sienna may think she can overdose Matt, kill him, and then walk away unscathed.
But if Matt realizes what she’s done and that he’s overdosing, I could see him choking Sienna to death, killing her with his last bit of strength in his body. So, it would be a bizarre mutual murder. That would be really cool for May sweeps.
Sienna Would Go Out A Hero on Young and the Restless
And if she does sacrifice herself, of course, Noah will be devastated, but Sienna would go out a hero, having saved Noah and his whole family, and you know, getting rid of Matt forever so they could all have peace of mind. I do expect closure because they’ve been killing off villains from Sharon’s past like Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby) and Ian Ward (Ray Wise), whom the Newmans think is dead, but you know, we know is not.
And as I said before, it definitely looks like Y&R is setting things up for Noah and Audra to reunite. It doesn’t seem like Sienna is going to be sticking around forever anyway. There’s just too many problematic things with her relationship with Noah. But I suspect Sienna might go out a hero and take out Matt Clark and then Audra will be there to mend Noah’s broken heart. So, we’ll see what happens.
