Does Michael Have an Agenda Against Phyllis?
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) has a tough time trusting anyone these days. On Friday’s episode, she noticed that she’s running out of allies. She already tried to get Daniel (Michael Graziadei) to help her, and he went against her.
Now, Phyllis has questioned Michael’s (Christian Le Blanc) motives. She met with Michael and Lauren (Tracey Bregman) at the GCAC. Phyllis hoped to speak with them about hiring new personnel, since her former employees had jumped ship.
Michael wanted to warn Phyllis about Victor (Eric Braeden). He wanted her to take The Mustache more seriously, especially since he’s desperate to get his company back. Phyllis ignored him and moved on to hiring suggestions.
Michael interrupted Phyllis to inform her about his meeting with Victor. This gave her pause. She had a feeling that Michael was secretly working against her, and this confirmed it. Michael warned her that her company is no longer hers to keep.
Will He Choose Loyalty or Manipulation?
Phyllis assumed that Michael would be on her side. She gave his wife an opportunity to run a company with her. Now, he’s fraternizing with the Devil of Genoa City once again.
Phyllis asked Michael if he was trying to save his relationship with Victor. Lauren also became suspicious of her husband, as she doesn’t like it when he partners up with Michael. Michael claimed that she should take his legal advice. It’s time for her to take the plea deal.
Phyllis thought he was going to help her. Michael hinted that he’s weighing his options. Will he remain loyal to Phyllis? Or will he side with the enemy in manipulating her and taking her down?
Lauren hoped that her husband would take Phyllis’s case. He angrily reiterated that he was only considering it. Lauren had a funny feeling that Michael was acting like an agent for Victor again.
But Michael is convinced that Phyllis can’t beat Victor in court. Phyllis noticed that she’s quickly running out of allies, except for Lauren. Michael assured Phyllis that he hadn’t abandoned her; he just wanted her to understand the situation.
But he already knew which legal team Victor had hired. He knew what Victor intended to do next, which felt like a slap in the face to Phyllis.
Phyllis read between the lines and realized that Michael was willing to stab her in the back. Is Michael trying to manipulate Phyllis so he can get back in Victor’s good graces?
