Key Takeaways
- Phyllis and Daniel learned about the Jabot shutdown at the Abbott Communications launch party.

- Phyllis has been involved with Cane, which could further disrupt her daughter’s success and their close-knit relationship.
What Happened to Summer Newman?
In May 2024, Summer (Allison Lanier) left Genoa City for Italy. She had to focus on Marchetti since she lost Sally (Courtney Hope) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan). They jumped onto their respective partners’ businesses, which hasn’t been smooth sailing.
In fact, Summer is at the center of some of the drama, no thanks to her mom. Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) gave Victor (Eric Braeden) the AI software program. So, this gives him free rein to attack anyone.
But Victor proved that he doesn’t need AI to take down Jack. He can just easily expose his weakness by having his son, Adam (Mark Grossman), release a hit piece about Jabot shutting down.
The news came out at the Abbott Communications launch party. Daniel (Michael Graziadei) wondered what this meant for Summer. He immediately called his sister and asked her to contact him at her earliest convenience.
Daniel was shocked since Jabot was the strongest company in Genoa City. He doesn’t understand how this could happen. That’s when he wondered whether his own mother knew.
Will Phyllis Sabotage Her Own Daughter?
Phyllis said she was blindsided by this news. Jack (Peter Bergman) didn’t tell her what happened. She was gravely concerned about Jabot.
Daniel pressed his mom for more information. Why was she so concerned about Jabot? She claimed that she was more concerned about Summer. It could affect her professionally and financially.
Daniel could tell that Phyllis was in the midst of whatever was happening with Jabot. She blamed Victor for what happened, but her relationship with Cane isn’t any better.
No one can trust her, not even her own children. Phyllis’s plan with Victor could ultimately be exposed. After all, she should know better than to trust Victor’s intentions.
Victor could expose her dirty little secret. And then, find out that she’s been canoodling with Cane behind his back, which also won’t be kept secret for long. Phyllis is involved with a man who’s ruined so many businesses and lives since his return. Summer will be livid once she finds out the truth and what it costs her future.
