Y&R Spoilers: Cole confesses to crime in court – Mariah reveals ultrasound results
Scandal in Paris: Cole Abbott Faces Justice While Illness Clouds His Fate
The Young and the Restless delivers another explosive twist as the scandal surrounding Cole Abbott and Mariah Collins ignites both public outrage and painful introspection.
What began as a seemingly romantic evening in Paris has spiraled into a courtroom drama that now threatens to upend lives across Genoa City—and leave behind emotional wreckage that no one saw coming.
Mariah’s return from Paris was marked by visible pain and silence, but her refusal to be a victim has driven her to seek justice. She alleges that Cole drugged her during a celebratory evening, taking advantage of her trust. Medical reports, witness statements, and damning security footage all support her claim.
The courtroom has become a battleground, and Cole’s once-polished image has started to crack under the weight of evidence—including incriminating text messages and toxicology results that match the sedative found in Mariah’s system.
As the trial unfolds, Cole’s composure falters. Under intense scrutiny, he confesses—admitting not only to drugging Mariah but also to fathering a child under false pretenses. The moment of confession brings a heavy silence to the courtroom.
Cole is arrested on the spot, with the scene marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-powerful businessman.
However, the story doesn’t end with his conviction. Cole’s health has taken a dire turn—he is now gravely ill, suffering from what appears to be terminal cancer.
This new development complicates the path forward. While justice demands accountability, compassion looms large as Victoria Newman—Cole’s estranged wife—pleads for leniency on the grounds of his declining health.
Victoria arranges a tense meeting with Mariah and Sharon, hoping to secure a compassionate release for Cole. She insists he’s still human despite his actions and argues that prison is no place for a man dying of cancer.
But Mariah, though shaken, stands firm. “He took advantage of me,” she says with quiet strength. “Now he wants sympathy?”

Sharon supports her daughter, warning Victoria that they cannot excuse what Cole did simply because he’s ill. Yet, when Victoria promises there will still be consequences—just delayed long enough for Cole to receive medical treatment—the women begin to consider an alternative.
Though unresolved, the conversation ends with a fragile agreement. Mariah may consent to a temporary transfer for Cole, under strict conditions ensuring he’ll still face justice in full. This moment of negotiation captures the complex emotional terrain: the intersection of trauma, accountability, and mercy.
As Genoa City watches the fallout, one thing becomes clear—the story of Cole and Mariah is not just a scandal. It’s a reckoning. And though Cole may be sick, the truth remains alive, demanding resolution in both court and conscience.
