Weekly Recap
Monday, September 14, 2026 – Episode #13462
Jack (Peter Bergman) played with fire when he staged a fake heart attack as part of his plan to lure Patty (Stacy Haiduk) out of hiding. Diane (Susan Walters), Detective Burrow, and even paramedics helped sell the ruse, while Billy (Jason Thompson) called for the ambulance. The plan worked well enough to get Patty’s attention, but perhaps too well. After seeing coverage of Jack’s supposed medical crisis, Patty began plotting how to get Diane out of the way so she could reclaim Jack for herself. Sally (Courtney Hope) asked Adam (Mark Grossman) to use Newman Media to help spread the story, and Adam alerted Victor (Eric Braeden), who immediately considered how he might use the situation to his advantage. Meanwhile, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) learned that Patty had interfered with Matt’s plans and convinced Matt (Roger Howarth) to turn his attention back to Patty.

Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Billy reached an understanding as the situation involving Jack, Patty, and Victor continued to create tension. Victor assured Nikki that he would try to stay out of Jack’s scheme involving Patty, although keeping Victor out of other people’s business was always easier said than done. Meanwhile, Cane (Billy Flynn) pressed Lily (Christel Khalil) to talk seriously about where their renewed relationship was headed. He told her that he loved her and raised the possibility of living together as they tried to determine what came next. Elsewhere, Patty shifted her focus away from Matt and back toward Jack. That didn’t make Phyllis feel any safer. She remained deeply worried about Patty and feared that both she and Matt could wind up in serious danger.

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) made it very clear that she intended to call the shots in her secret relationship with Kyle (Michael Mealor). She blindfolded him for their latest encounter, laid down rules designed to keep what they were doing hidden, and acknowledged that they were pretty amazing together. Victoria then covered her tracks with Claire (Hayley Erin) when questions arose about Kyle. Elsewhere, Nate (Sean Dominic) showed Stephanie (Arielle Prepetit) just how much he appreciated her. After dancing together and finally giving in to their growing attraction, the two kissed and took their relationship to the bedroom. Billy also tried to create a romantic evening for Sally, but his plans literally went up in smoke when their peanut butter and sauerkraut pizza burned. The couple ultimately abandoned the culinary experiment and ordered takeout instead.

Victor made a difficult decision as Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned from rehab and prepared to ease back into his life. Victoria agreed that her brother could gradually resume his responsibilities at Newman, while Victor remained focused on protecting his son. Elsewhere, Jack and Diane received an ominous message from Patty after their elaborate attempt to draw her out. Patty left behind a goodbye letter, Mr. Kitty, and a promise to stay away for now, but Diane wasn’t convinced they could trust that Patty was really gone for good. Phyllis, meanwhile, hit a dead end in her efforts to help Matt. She discovered that he intended to leave town with Patty and initially viewed his decision as a betrayal. Matt left Phyllis a letter asking her not to look for him and insisted that this time he truly intended to leave.

Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) was there for Sally after Billy disappointed her yet again. Their conversation went well enough that Sally began considering asking Chelsea to be one of her bridesmaids, an interesting development considering the complicated history these women shared with Adam. Elsewhere, Cane tried to extend an olive branch to Devon (Bryton James) as his reunion with Lily moved forward, but Devon wasn’t interested in making peace. He remained suspicious of Cane and his intentions toward his sister, even though Lily had already made her own decision to forgive Cane and trust him again. Phyllis also turned her attention toward Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and his latest endeavor. Although she initially reacted badly to seeing him tending bar, she ultimately tried to support what he was doing as she continued looking for a way to repair their strained relationship.
