Makes sense to post that information here on the August thread, that EH is directing that August 5 U.S. episode.
However I think most of the photos in her IG post are old.

Per wardrobe comparisons, that Mariah/Sharon scene is from 
episode of May 2nd USA / May 1st Canada.

But yes we can assume that Mariah's storyline will finally continue in August.

Yeah it probably will knowing how JG drags stuff out lol 

Spoilers for the first episode that Elizabeth Hendrickson directs:
#13181, airing Tues. Aug. 5 USA (Monday Aug 4 Canada).

It seems that this episode will include Victor, Nikki, Chelsea, and Sally.

Per EH's ig post https://www.instagram.com/p/DMxXvHSxIcR/


From the text of her IG post
"On Tuesday the 5th my first episode will air. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did directing it. The privilege (and pressure of working with two giants of our genre, Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott, on my first day was not lost on me."

This scene is in the "next week on Y&R" preview video for week of August 4-8.
So this is likely for the U.S. Tuesday August 5th episode.
