She didn’t tell Phyllis the truth.

After the Wednesday, February 5 episode of The Young and the Restless, Phyllis is all in on joining forces with Billy to create the greatest media company ever. One that is most definitely not going to go after Victor and Adam. Daniel is cynical. So is Summer. But while Daniel is pretty upfront about his concerns, we suspect Summer is hiding her true feelings—and her true motivations.

I Will Remember You

Summer (Allison Lanier) kept reminding Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) of how awful Phyllis and Billy’s (Jason Thompson) breakup was. Phyllis insisted she remembered and knew how to avoid any pitfalls this time around when their relationship would be purely professional.

But what neither Summer nor Phyllis brought up was that Phyllis and Billy’s break up was particularly brutal… because Billy slept with Summer. Yeah. That.

Mine To Lose

Summer claims she just doesn’t want her mom to get hurt again. But we suspect what she really doesn’t want is for her mom and Billy to hook up again. Because Summer is jealous. After all, her own relationships aren’t going great.

She and Kyle (Michael Mealor) are divorced. She and Chance (Conner Floyd) split up when he dared do his job and investigated her brother. Now, Summer is all alone. We wouldn’t be surprised if she flirted with the idea of going after Billy again. And she’d hate for Phyllis to tap that first.

Non-Binary

It’s not that Summer wants Billy, per se. After all, she didn’t bother with him when she had him. It’s more that she doesn’t want her mom to “win.”

Now, obviously, Summer wouldn’t put it in those terms. She’d put it in the terms she used on Wednesday. She’d feign concern. She may even believe she feels that way for real. But scratch beneath the surface and her real motivations float to the top.
