Dishing Some Harsh Truths
On Friday’s episode, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) had another awkward run-in with Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) at the Genoa City Athletic Club. Sharon thought they had finally turned a new leaf. But now Phyllis is taking control of other people’s companies and legacies.
Phyllis claimed that she’s not the monster in this battle. According to her, Victor (Eric Braeden) caused trouble when he used the AI program to dismantle Arabesque. Cane (Billy Flynn) thought it was necessary to retaliate.
Then, Nick warned Phyllis that she could lose her dreams. She could also lose the most important people in her life. She already lost Nick’s trust and respect. He hit with the harsh truth: he wants nothing to do with her anymore. He’s done with Phyllis.
Phyllis Gets a Cold Response
Phyllis claimed that she wasn’t worried about the people who only claim to love her. She realized that most of them don’t. After their brutal confrontation, Phyllis called Summer (Allison Lanier), but she didn’t answer.
Instead, Summer sent her a text message that read, “Don’t call me again.” Those words are going to cut deeper than what Nick told her. She’s officially lost her daughter, and she could lose Daniel (Michael Graziadei) as well. Was it worth it?
Cane’s Startling Revelation
Meanwhile, Billy (Jason Thompson) visited Cane on his train car. Cane wanted to know whether Sally (Courtney Hope) was on board with Billy taking over Chancellor again.
Billy warned Cane that any discussion of his relationship was off-limits. Cane said he understood, but told him that they are in similar situations. They could end up living alone.
Billy reminded Cane that he has Phyllis. Then, Cane dropped the shocking truth. He admitted that he doesn’t have feelings for Phyllis. This proves that he’s just using her for his personal and business gain.
Billy could tell that Cane had been “emotionally lost.” He lost Lily and the kids. He has no one in his life. Meanwhile, Phyllis is getting a harsh reminder that it’s lonely at the top of the world.
