Phyllis Throws Facts at Sally

Thursday’s episode of The Young and the Restless finds Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) back in her element—telling everyone how to live their lives and why she’s always right. This time, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is on the receiving end of Phyllis’ brand of wisdom.

Phyllis makes it clear that she knows Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) better than anyone—and that he will never succeed without her guidance. Even Nick (Joshua Morrow) is reminded that Phyllis’ intelligence and foresight make her untouchable, even if she were to bend the rules. Sally and Billy’s (Jason Thompson) new business venture, according to Phyllis, is doomed from the start—especially if they team up with Cane. Phyllis believes only she can steer the players properly and prevent disaster.

Her unsolicited advice leaves Sally reflecting on whether she and Billy can truly make a go of their venture without Phyllis’ oversight. Fans can expect sparks between these powerhouse women as Phyllis continues to assert her dominance in Genoa City.

Jack Questions Billy’s Choices

Meanwhile, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) confronts Billy Abbott about his connections to Cane and the use of Jack-funded resources. While Billy promised to remain a silent partner in Cane’s new company, Jack is wary of the potential consequences.

Jack is particularly concerned about any moves that might give Cane leverage over Jabot Cosmetics, Newman Enterprises, or other family ventures. His interrogation forces Billy to carefully consider the risks of helping Cane, highlighting the tension between Abbott family loyalty and the cutthroat world of corporate maneuvering in Genoa City.

Fans should expect some tense discussions between the brothers, as Billy is pushed to prove his loyalty while balancing his own ambitions.

Nick Prepares to Reveal a Secret

Adding another layer of intrigue, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) prepares to share a secret with his ex-wife, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). While the specifics of the secret remain unclear, Phyllis is already speculating that it could involve her, setting up potential conflict.

The moment promises emotional intensity, as viewers wonder whether Nick’s revelation will bring him closer to Sharon—or spark new tensions with Phyllis. The interaction is sure to leave fans guessing how relationships will shift in the coming days.

What This Means for Genoa City

Thursday’s episode highlights the complex web of relationships, rivalries, and secrets that keep The Young and the Restless so compelling. Phyllis’ unfiltered opinions, Jack’s protective instincts, and Nick’s secretive approach all contribute to high-stakes drama.

Viewers can expect:

• Sally questioning whether she and Billy can succeed without Phyllis’ influence.

• Billy grappling with Jack’s scrutiny and the consequences of working with Cane.

• Sharon reacting to whatever secret Nick decides to reveal, with potential fallout across multiple storylines.
