10 Shocking Moments of Younger Ranked for Impact
Following the success of <em>Sex and the City</em> and paving the way for Emily in Paris, renowned creator Darren Starr introduced a groundbreaking sitcom that challenges societal norms by spotlighting a 40-year-old woman who fabricates her age to secure employment after years as a stay-at-home mom. In light of a growing trend in media that addresses ageism and age-gap relationships — with titles like The Idea of You and <em>Babygirl</em> — Younger has expertly tackled these themes since its debut in 2015. The central character, Sutton Foster‘s Liza, assumes a youthful identity in her late 20s to obtain a position as an assistant at the publishing company Empirical.
Throughout the series, Liza navigates various precarious situations to maintain her secret from colleagues like Kelsey (Hilary Duff) and her young, tattooed boyfriend Josh (Nico Tortorella). This leads to numerous jaw-dropping moments as Liza’s truth comes to light amidst her entangled love life, where she finds herself torn between her affection for Josh and her boss, Charles (Peter Hermann). Reflecting on the seven seasons of this TV Land original, we’ve compiled a list showcasing the most unexpected plot twists that captivated audiences.

Kelsey Shares a Scandalous Instagram Story
Season 6, Episode 10
Kelsey Peters, a millennial powerhouse in the publishing world, is exceptionally skilled at signing new authors, yet she often finds herself in hot water after a night of revelry. In Season 6, following a successful business trip to Chicago where she secures a vital investment, Kelsey celebrates with Charles but later returns to her hotel room inebriated. Unbeknownst to her, the character impulsively shares a scandalous Instagram story featuring her unbuttoned shirt and a cheeky caption, “Guess who got the money, honey!”
What she intended as playful banter with Zane (Charles Michael Davis) spiraled out of control, leading to a social media debacle that nearly jeopardized her career in publishing. Although Kelsey managed to retain the much-needed funding, she had to step down from her prestigious role as publisher, marking a significant setback after all her hard work.
