Phyllis's Ultimate Power Play: Stolen AI and a Devil's Deal
Hold onto your hats, because Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is at it again, and this time, she’s pulled off a heist that could shake Genoa City to its core! Remember Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) highly coveted AI program? Well, it’s gone missing, and Phyllis is the culprit. She actually admitted to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) that she stole it right out from under Cane’s nose, and then cunningly pointed the finger at Victor to Cane. Talk about playing both sides!
Phyllis, ever the opportunist, didn’t just steal it for fun. She went straight to Victor with a proposition he couldn't refuse: use the AI program to take down Jabot Cosmetics, and eventually, she wants control of it. Victor, who loves nothing more than targeting Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), grinned and sealed the deal. It seems like Phyllis is finally putting her money where her mouth is, looking to solidify her own position and make things "right," on her terms, of course. Cane, meanwhile, is scrambling, having hired a private investigator who tracked Phyllis straight to the Newman Ranch. He confronts her, but she masterfully tries to spin a tale of loyalty and proactive investigation, insisting she was trying to uncover Victor’s involvement. Will Cane actually buy it? Probably not, but Phyllis is certainly giving it her all!
"Hey, listen, it has become crystal clear to her that the only one she can truly rely on in life is herself."

With Cane's AI program in Victor and Phyllis's hands, Jabot is now a prime target. Cane, despite his earlier intentions to use the AI for his own agendas, seems genuinely concerned about the threat to Genoa City's companies, especially Jabot. He warns Jack and Diane (Susan Walters) that his AI program has been stolen and that Jabot is in serious trouble. He can’t go to the police, and worse, he claims the program is "unstoppable" because he can't hit the kill switch.
Diane is rightly skeptical, questioning how such an advanced program could simply disappear, but Jack quickly grows furious, realizing the grave danger his family's legacy is in. He worries that his previous attempts to team up with Victor and Jill to prevent such a scenario have backfired, and now Victor is using the very technology they feared against them. Jack is taking immediate action, beefing up Jabot’s IT security and trying to offline vital information. He's also summoned Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) home from Los Angeles immediately and intends to deal with Phyllis if she's involved. He also calls Billy Abbott for help. It’s a full-blown corporate crisis, and Jack is in fight mode.
The Awkward Aftermath: Tessa and Daniel's Complicated Connection
Love triangles and complicated relationships are a staple in Genoa City, and this week, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) are right in the thick of it. After a passionate kiss—and Tessa having an "intense dream" about Daniel—things are undeniably awkward between them. Daniel is clearly smitten, but Tessa is married to Mariah (Camryn Grimes), and her dream has left her questioning the very foundations of her marriage.
The two meet to "set ground rules" for their relationship. Tessa admits they have a strong connection but is hesitant to put a label on it, especially while she’s still married. Daniel understands it can't go anywhere for now, but the emotional damage might already be done. With Mariah reportedly pushing Tessa away, this situation could easily escalate, leaving fans wondering if Tessa and Mariah's marriage can survive this emotional turmoil, and if Daniel will finally get a real chance with Tessa.
Public Punch-Up: Adam Newman vs. Billy Abbott Explodes!
Some rivalries in Genoa City just never die, and the ongoing feud between Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) is definitely one of them. This week, their animosity boils over into a shocking public brawl at the Genoa City Athletic Club. Adam, never one to back down from poking the bear, relentlessly taunts Billy, criticizing his leadership at Abbott Communications and suggesting he’s not up to the job. He even drags Sally's name into it, implying she's only with Billy out of pity.
Billy finally snaps, delivering a powerful punch that sends Adam crashing to the floor. Just as Adam falls, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) walks into the club, utterly stunned by the scene. Billy, still fuming, warns Adam that Abbott Communications will soon knock Newman Media to the ground, too, before storming out. Surprisingly, Adam later admits to Chelsea that he deserved the punch and that he intentionally prodded Billy. He even acknowledges that Chelsea has helped him change, making him a "new man." It’s a rare moment of introspection from Adam, but this fight is definitely going to have repercussions.
Los Angeles Heartbreak: Noah's Fragile State and Kyle's Confrontation
Away from the corporate conspiracies and passionate kisses of Genoa City, a much more serious drama is unfolding in Los Angeles. Noah Newman’s (Lucas Adams) condition is described as "fragile," leaving his parents, Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow), worried sick and anxiously awaiting any sign of progress. Nikki and Victor Newman are also making their way to LA to lend their support, highlighting the gravity of Noah's situation.
Meanwhile, Kyle Abbott is already in Los Angeles, not just to support the Newmans but also with a personal agenda: winning back Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) and disrupting her connection with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens). This week, Kyle is set to interrogate Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun), who recently met Nick under tense circumstances, about her connection to Noah’s accident. Sharon’s search for answers about her son takes her down a "dangerous path" by the end of the week, suggesting that there's much more to Noah's accident than meets the eye. The stakes couldn't be higher for the Newman family as they navigate this crisis, and Kyle's actions could either help or hinder their efforts.
This week on The Young and the Restless is packed with intense drama, surprising revelations, and emotional confrontations. From Phyllis’s audacious scheme to Tessa’s internal conflict and Noah’s uncertain future, Genoa City and Los Angeles are buzzing with action.
