Y&R Recap : Sharon’s Prayers Are Answered When Noah Wakes Up, While Nick Tracks Matt Clark
Sharon’s Hotel Room in LA
Nick drops by Sharon’s hotel room and brings her a scone for breakfast.
Sharon’s happy. She can’t think of a better way to start the day! She’s on edge that Matt Clark could be alive and roaming the streets of LA! She didn’t get much sleep last night.
Nick agrees; he didn’t sleep much either. He figures that Matt must have been involved in Noah’s accident.
Sharon thinks Noah found out that Matt was alive, and that’s why he’s in the hospital now. She prepares to head out to the hospital and asks what Nick is planning to do.
Nick says he’s going to phone his dad and try to get his eyes on Matt Clark. He’s going to show up to The Shadow Room unannounced and will hopefully come face-to-face with their nemesis!
The Shadow Room
“Mitch” brings his wife, Sienna, a coffee.
Sienna welcomes him and asks him why Nick called him “Matt Clark.”
Mitch figures Nick must be making stuff up because he’s worried about Noah. He says he missed her; she didn’t come home last night!
Sienna says he saw how busy it was last night, so she crashed in the office. She says she was frazzled with Noah’s parents.
Mitch says to tell them the truth; she doesn’t know about their son! Unless she knows something that she’s not telling him!
Sienna says she doesn’t know anything except that Noah was last seen at their club before he was run off the road. According to Nick, there’s an eyewitness, and they don’t need the cops looking into
Mitch shrugs. Maybe she’ll get her wish… He’s heard that Noah might not make it!
The Hotel Cafe in LA
Nikki and Victoria have breakfast with Claire on the cafe patio.
Claire is wearing sunglasses for her hangover until Nikki mentions that “alcohol can lead to regret.” She says the only thing she regrets about last night is a headache that won’t go away. She says she’s trying to live in the moment and see where it leads her, and she came to an important decision last night… As fun as last night was, it’s time for her to go home!
Holden wanders up to the table. “Guess that’s one less familiar face I’ll see around here!” He tells Victoria and Nikki that he’s sorry to hear about Noah.
Claire invites him to dine with them, and he agrees.
Nikki and Victoria excuse themselves and leave for the hospital.
Holden gets the feeling that Claire’s grandmother doesn’t like him that much. He gives her advice on helping her hangover and says he’s obviously a bad influence.
Claire laughs. She’s happy with all the choices she made last night, from the vodka shots to the rest of it! No regrets, but it’s time for her to go home; this trip was a chance to get away from her life in Genoa City, but it’s time to get back to normal, whatever that is.
Holden asks where he fits into the life she’s building for herself.
Claire winces. She hasn’t got there yet!
Holden smiles and says that no matter what happens, he had a wonderful time… Especially last night! He asks if she’d like to do anything with him before she leaves.
Claire says she’d love to get a tour of the mountains again, and she wants to stop by The Shadow Room to thank Sienna for her hospitality.
Holden figures that she really wants to find out about him and Audra from Sienna.
Claire grins. He can tell her about it himself if he’d like!
Holden says he’s facing the future. He offers his hand, and they leave.
Noah’s Hospital Room
Sharon visits Noah’s bedside. She’s happy the doctors have removed Noah’s breathing tube. As she talks to him, his hand twitches, and she wonders if that was an involuntary movement or not.
Noah’s hand twitches again and clutches at the sheets.
Sharon cries out and asks him if he’s waking up. He manages to croak, “Mom.”
The doctor walks in and explains that they are bringing Noah out of his coma. All of Noah’s vital signs and brain activity seems to be coming back to normal.
Sharon is overjoyed. Noah is coming back to them!
Noah tries talking, but it’s difficult.
Sharon cries and tells him that everyone is worried about him and loves him.
Noah clearly says, “I love you.”
Sharon asks when Noah’s bandages will come off, and is reassured that they’ll come off soon.
Nikki and Victoria arrive and find Sharon crying tears of joy in the corridor. Sharon tells them that Noah has woken up, and they hug, overjoyed.
Sharon says she was terrified that this would end like Cassie, but there’s hope now!
Victoria and Nikki reassure her that they’re there to support her. They head in to see Noah, and sit at his bedside, smiling and talking.
Nikki tells him that Victor will be glad he’s awake. She pulls out a drawing of Superman that Christian (Nick’s son) had done of him.
Sharon excuses herself to phone Nick. She makes a call and leaves a voicemail for him to call her back… She has some amazing news!
While Sharon is out of the room, Noah looks at his grandmother curiously and asks how he got there… Why is he in the hospital? He doesn’t remember anything!
Nikki thinks he needs to rest, and Victoria says that Nick or Sharon will fill him in on what happened.
An LA Rooftop
Claire and Holden stand on a rooftop and admire the mountains. Holden takes some candid pictures of Claire.
Holden and Claire laugh and change places… Now it’s his turn for photos!
They take some photos together, mugging for the camera.
Claire says this was just what she needed. They head off to The Shadow Room.
The Shadow Room
Holden and Claire arrive at the club. Holden knows Claire wants answers about Audra, but asks if there’s any way she can let this go… There’s no good that can come from dredging up the past!
Claire says she really wants to know about Audra, but if it’s that important to him, she’ll keep her questions to herself.
Holden smiles. He’d appreciate that! They head inside.
Claire meets with Sienna and thanks her for her hospitality.
Holden is surprised Sienna is still there. She was there pretty late last night!
Sienna says she worked late and stayed in the office… Lucky she keeps a set of clothes handy!
Holden asks if Mitch is around.
Mitch walks out and greets Holden. “It’s been a long time!”
Holden nods and introduces Claire.
Claire asks how they know Noah.
Mitch says that they met in London and he asked Noah to come to LA to invest in a nightclub there, but now that he’s been in an accident, that deal might be off. He hopes Noah will make a full recovery soon, and asks if Audra is out of Holden’s life… She must be ancient history!
Holden says they run into Audra pretty often, as she lives in Genoa City with them.
Sienna tells Claire that Kyle was there, trying to dig up some information on Audra… Does Claire want that information, too?
Claire looks at Holden and says that she doesn’t want any information on Audra… She just hopes she’s ancient history for her, too!
A bit later, Claire and Holden leave the club. Outside, Claire asks Holden if he felt the tension between Sienna and Mitch.
Holden says Mitch and Sienna are an unusual couple. He’s never figured Mitch out; he’s a bit unnerving!
Claire agrees… Mitch didn’t seem to be a big fan of Holden, either.
Holden grins. She doesn’t miss anything! He offers to take her somewhere for seafood.
Claire isn’t sure about that… She’s full from breakfast and still needs to pack. She knows she’s asked him about Audra before, but she gets the feeling now, even more than ever, that he might be hiding something really bad about Audra… And now is the time for him to come clean!
Holden says she’s obsessed with the past… What about her looking to the future?
Claire says if they’re going to have a real friendship, it needs to be based on honesty… Which means he needs to tell her about what happened with Audra!
Inside, Mitch tells Sienna she shouldn’t have mentioned Noah’s accident to Claire. He asks why she’s so on-edge… He’s always been the contact for Noah, and she doesn’t even know him that well!
Outside, Nick walks up and is surprised to see Claire and Holden there. He asks what they’re doing there.
Claire says she just wanted to thank Sienna for her hospitality. She wonders what Nick is doing there.
Nick says he’s there to see if he can talk to Mitch.
Holden nods. He’s in luck… Mitch is inside right now, they just saw him!
Claire asks to be kept posted on Noah and leaves with Holden.
Nick’s phone rings just before he enters the club. He answers and tells Sharon that he’s just about to see Matt.
Sharon tells him he needs to get back to the hospital right away… Noah just woke up!
Tamra Judge Admits to Mixing Xanax and Alcohol Before Quitting RHOC as She Apologizes to Heather Dubrow
Tamra Judge looked back on her temporary departure from The Real Housewives of Orange County in a post shared to her Instagram Story on Friday.
After declaring she was “done” with the show after a dispute with Gina Kirschenheiter, 41, and a tense encounter with longtime friend Heather Dubrow, 56, Tamra, 57, admitted she was taking Xanax at the time, and mixing it with alcohol, as she offered an apology to Heather and thanked viewers for sending their support.
“Thank you for all the kind words you’ve sent (like this). I have NOT watched the episode. It was a painful time I don’t want to relive,” Tamra began on August 15 as she shared a kind message from a fan.
“No as a fan girl here, just as a human here.. you’re way too good for this,” the RHOC viewer had written. “I love watching you and completely love what you bring. But tonight I was broken hearted for you. In that time I can’t imagine the pain, and all the emotions you had within. To see you and feel like no one fully had your back (maybe Heather) or even just a heart for the time you were living. It was heartbreaking. I mean to think what this time frame was, I feel like no one has had any empathy in a way. They just try to say it’s another Tamra excuse … I mean come on.”
As RHOC fans well know, Tamra was going through intense therapy at the time the scene was filmed, and she had also been recently dealt with the heartbreaking news of Teddi Mellencamp‘s brain cancer diagnosis.
Continuing on in her post, Tamra wrote, “Emotionally I hit a wall with everything I was dealing with … I was taking Xanax to deal with the pain [and] mixed it with alcohol. Thank you [Heather Dubrow] [and] I’m sorry [for] the way I responded to you. I love you very much.”
At the time the RHOC episode was shot in New Orleans, Tamra offered a confirmation of her exit on social media.
“It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality sh*t doesn’t makes sense. Peace out … I’m out,” she wrote in a March 9 post.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
