What started with business battles and romantic pursuits took a devastating turn, sending shockwaves through the Newman family. The drama began with Victor’s media blast against Cane Ashby, which led to threats of a lawsuit. But all of that was quickly forgotten when Nick got the call every parent dreads.

While visiting the ranch, Nick was firm with Victor that he needed to go to Los Angeles to be with Noah and Sharon. Just as Victor gave his blessing, a frantic Sharon called. She was at the hospital, crying that Noah had been in a terrible car accident and that it was “Cassie all over again”. Nick rushed to get the company jet, leaving a distraught Nikki and Victor behind.

Once in LA, Nick found a devastated Sharon who explained Noah’s car had ran off the road and landed in a ravine, and he was in surgery with severe head trauma. The waiting was agonizing, filled with painful memories of Cassie’s accident. The doctor finally delivered grave news: to combat swelling on his brain, they had to place Noah in a medically induced coma.

The situation grew even more mysterious when a detective arrived. He dropped a bombshell, revealing a witness saw another vehicle run Noah’s car off the road, but the detective’s cagey behavior and odd questions left Nick and Sharon suspicious. Later, a call to Noah’s phone from a woman named Sienna only deepened the mystery when she abruptly hung up after learning about the accident. Nick, determined to find answers, unlocked Noah’s phone and vowed to figure out who would want to hurt his son.
