How Faith Almost Followed In Cassie's Footsteps On The Young And The Restless

Jordan and Faith spent a significant amount of time together, but eventually, after seeing the red flags pointed out to her by Nick's girlfriend at the time, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), Sharon started having second thoughts about her daughter's new friend. Getting caught with alcohol was the final straw, and their budding friendship was put on ice. Since alcoholism runs in their family, Sharon enlisted the help of Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), a recovering alcoholic, to speak to Faith about the dangers of overindulgence.

This had the opposite effect on Faith who was insulted by the idea of being compared to Nikki simply because of one mistake with drinking. However, it went beyond just that one time. Like Cassie all those years ago, Faith was trying to get in with the popular crowd and had her eyes set on a particular boy. When he started texting Faith, the guy in question convinced her to tell him that she loved him. Unfortunately for Faith, the person behind the screen wasn't really the boy she liked. Instead, her former best friend Jordan was revealed to be the culprit.

Triggered by the events and the incessant bullying, Faith started abusing alcohol. Then, she got behind the wheel of her grandmother's truck, under the influence, and in a deeply emotional state. Many years prior, Cassie did the same thing, resulting in her death. Likewise, Faith's joy ride became a nightmare rather quickly.
