The Young and the Restless recap for Wednesday, April 9, sees Traci demand the truth from Alan after Ashley insists that Alan is Martin. Chance asks Alan to go down to the station, and so much more.
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) found Summer (Allison Lanier) alone at Crimson Lights. Phyllis said the police still had no solid leads, only more questions. She told Summer about a new clue involving a gas device and a house leased just outside town. When she brought up Alan (Christopher Cousins), Summer was confused, saying she had met him and he seemed perfectly nice.
Phyllis explained the current theory—Chance (Conner Floyd) believed Alan might have died and that his deranged twin brother, Martin, had taken his place. Summer was shocked to learn the man who may have kidnapped her mom had been living in the same house as Harrison (Redding Munsell).
Phyllis tried to reassure her. She vowed to get to the truth. Then she asked about Summer's relationship with Chance. Summer admitted they had ended things. Phyllis assumed Chance couldn't handle the drama surrounding their family. Summer defended him, saying he was great with Harrison, but admitted she wasn't completely over Kyle (Michael Mealor).
Phyllis told her that kind of emotion was normal, but Summer didn't want to make Chance wait while she sorted things out. Phyllis hoped this didn't mean she was trying to reunite with Kyle.

Meanwhile, Sharon (Sharon Case) confided in Nick (Joshua Morrow) about her sessions with Alan, worried she might've said something that could have been used against her. They speculated about Alan's identity, especially since Traci (Beth Maitland) no longer trusted him.
Chance arrived and revealed the abductor had been watching from a nearby farmhouse. He also recovered Sharon and Phyllis's old phones. While nothing yet tied Alan to the scene, they were awaiting fingerprint results from Paris. Then Chance received a tip about Alan's return and left to confront him.

At the hotel, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Ashley (Eileen Davidson) listened in on a conversation between Traci and Alan using her phone. Traci told Alan she wasn't canceling the wedding, just postponing it. Alan seemed hurt and confused.
Traci grew uneasy, and Alan noticed her hand in her pocket and guessed she had called Jack for help. Jack burst in with Ashley, pretending they just came to visit. Ashley confronted Alan, noting she hadn't seen him in Paris. Alan pushed Traci to explain, and she said she wanted a longer engagement.
Alan thought somebody had changed her mind and insisted love should be enough. When he tried to leave, Traci begged him not to go upset. He walked out anyway. Traci broke down, telling Jack and Ashley that she hated how things turned out. The Alan she knew would have supported her decision. Ashley insisted it wasn't Alan — it had been Martin all along. She was sure of it, recalling how calculated and controlling he had been. Traci broke down in tears.
Jack called Chance and reported that Alan had left and Ashley believed he was actually Martin. Chance soon spotted Alan at the bar and approached him. He questioned him about the farmhouse and asked if his fingerprints would be found there. Alan brushed it off as a billing mistake. Chance asked Alan to come to the station.
Back in her suite, Traci told her siblings that Alan had once made her feel heard and supported, but after the proposal, he'd grown strangely demanding. She wondered if she'd driven him away or if his mask had simply slipped. Ashley said that it wasn't her fault — it was Martin. Overwhelmed, Traci ran out of the room, and her siblings chased after her.
Traci demanded Alan tell her his true identity.
