Victor thought he could sweeten Phyllis up on The Young and the Restless on October 7. But she wasn’t willing to take the bait. She didn’t even break a sweat, as she refused to let The Mustache get under her skin.
Key Takeaways
- Victor invited Phyllis to join him for drinks at Society, but it wasn’t for friendly conversation.
- Phyllis wasn’t fooled by Victor’s kind gesture, especially since he knows that she’s working with Cane.
- He pressed her for more information about Cane.
- Phyllis refused to give Victor what he wanted, which was intel about Cane.
Not-So Friendly Drinks
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) walked into Society and saw Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) in all his glory. He asked her to join him.
It didn’t take him long to bring up Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). Phyllis laughed and assured Eric that their work relationship is going well. Victor wanted answers. He wanted to know why she stooped so low to work with Cane. Phyllis explained that she took a chance and seized the opportunity.
She’s offering Cane her technical expertise. Victor warned her about her blind loyalty. But Phyllis could see through Victor and his probing questions. He was shaken up that she was working with Cane. She enjoyed seeing him this way. Phyllis warned Victor what’s coming next for him.
But Victor claimed he was undeterred. He just wanted to know what they were working on. Phyllis could tell that he wanted the information straight from her. Victor reminded her that he tried to warn her. He wanted to know what she would gain from working with Cane, other than a generous lump sum.
Who Was Left Shaken and Stirred?
Phyllis enjoyed seeing Victor get shaken up. She told him that she wouldn’t tell him anything. Her lips were sealed. It’s bad enough that Phyllis already spilled about Cane’s A.I. plans.
Still, she’s confident that her plan with Cane will take them to the top. Then, Phyllis warned Victor about what’s coming for him. However, Victor warned Phyllis that Cane could hurt Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Summer (Allison Lanier), even though she can’t think straight. She’s desperate.
Phyllis claimed that Victor is nervous because his days are numbered. So, who was left shaken and stirred by this conversation? Victor is just as desperate as Phyllis. He’s teaming up with Jack (Peter Bergman), whom he could end up betraying in the end.
So far, Phyllis hasn’t let Victor get to her head. She thinks she’s a good fit for Cane because they share a similar ambition and ruthless nature. She believed that she had already achieved success with Cane.
But at what cost? Is Phyllis playing a risky game by working for Cane? She might have her cards stacked right, but it might not last for long.
