Why Did Lily Winters Go to Prison? | Hilary Curtis’ Death and Devon and Hilary’s Hospital Wedding

Why did Lily Winters go to prison on Y&R? How did Hilary Curtis die? And what happened at Devon and Hilary’s heartbreaking deathbed wedding?

This Y&R retro recap revisits Hilary Curtis’ death, Lily Winters’ car crash, and the tragedy that tore the Winters family apart on The Young and the Restless.

We’ll look back at Devon Hamilton and Hilary Curtis—Hevon—reuniting to have a baby, Lily’s long-running hatred of Hilary, and Lily secretly canceling Hilary’s artificial insemination appointment. We’ll also revisit how Devon and Hilary conceived their baby, why their pregnancy became a second chance for Hevon, and the argument that led Lily to run a red light.

After a truck struck Hilary’s side of the car, Devon and Hilary lost their baby. Hilary suffered fatal injuries, and Devon arranged a deathbed wedding at Genoa City Memorial Hospital before Hilary died in his arms.

But Hilary Curtis’ death was only the beginning of the fallout.

Charlie Ashby remembered that Lily had run the red light. Cane Ashby tried to keep him quiet, Shauna Nelson exposed the truth at Hilary’s memorial, and Devon learned that his own sister had caused the crash that killed Hilary and their unborn child.

We’ll also cover why Lily Winters pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, why Devon demanded justice, and how Lily was sentenced to one year in prison.

Did Lily deserve to go to prison for Hilary’s death? Did Devon treat his sister too harshly—or did Y&R finally give a devastating soap tragedy real consequences?
