Weekly Recap
Monday, September 21, 2026 – Episode #13467
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) was excited about her plans for Vibrante and its upcoming New York fashion-house launch, but her daughter’s behavior quickly caught her attention. While visiting Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Nikki noticed her reacting to messages from Kyle (Michael Mealor), leaving her suspicious about what Victoria was hiding. Elsewhere, Sally (Courtney Hope) surprised Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) by asking her to be a bridesmaid, another sign that the two women were putting their complicated history behind them. Billy (Jason Thompson), however, wasn’t feeling nearly as charitable. He told Adam (Mark Grossman) he wanted him to stay away from the wedding. Adam refused to make that promise, telling Chelsea he would attend if that was what she wanted.

Claire (Hayley Erin) was forced to revisit some painful memories of Jordan and admitted how awful her past had been. She worried that the darkness Jordan had nurtured in her might still be there, prompting Victoria to cancel her plans with Kyle so she could be there for her daughter. Meanwhile, Nate (Sean Dominic) and Stephanie (Vivica A. Fox) tried to figure out exactly what their new relationship meant. After finally giving in to their attraction, the two even role-played how they might break the news to Holden. Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) remained invested in Matt (Roger Howarth), especially after feeling rejected by Nick (Joshua Morrow) and the rest of her family. Matt had planned to leave Genoa City, but he changed his mind and called Phyllis, pulling her right back into his orbit.

Billy’s ongoing problems with Jill (Jess Walton) threatened to intrude on his wedding plans when he learned his mother intended to attend. Sally warned Billy that his anger toward Jill was affecting more than just him, while Cane (Billy Flynn) went the extra mile to encourage Billy to repair the relationship rather than let their estrangement continue. Chelsea also pushed Adam to stop making things harder with Sally and convinced him to attend the wedding, even though Adam still considered Sally marrying Billy one of her biggest mistakes. Audra (Zuleyka Silver), meanwhile, was blindsided when Sally revealed that Chelsea would replace Chloe as a bridesmaid. Audra later tried to strike up a friendly conversation with Cane about attending the wedding alone, but Cane wasn’t interested.

Traci (Beth Maitland) returned at exactly the right time to deal with Billy and his refusal to let go of his anger toward Jill. She understood why Billy was hurt, but reminded him of the regrets their family carried over Dina and warned that he might someday regret shutting Jill out while she was ill. Billy finally relented and called his mother, making it clear she could attend his wedding even though their larger problems remained unresolved. Daniel (Michael Graziadei) also softened toward Phyllis, encouraging his mother to keep fighting for the people she loved. Meanwhile, Claire encouraged Victoria to stop worrying about her and pursue some happiness of her own. Victoria took the advice and met Kyle, but their secret rendezvous became considerably more complicated when Kyle crossed paths with Matt while leaving the motel.

Victor (Eric Braeden) continued setting Nikki up for success with Vibrante, even as the Abbotts considered how to respond to her new venture. Diane (Susan Walters) wanted to launch an aggressive advertising campaign designed to overshadow Vibrante’s Valentine’s debut, but Jack (Peter Bergman) hesitated to go after Nikki. Victor, meanwhile, assured Nikki that he wouldn’t use Vibrante as another weapon in his war with Jack. Sharon (Sharon Case) caught up with Nick as he continued working through his recovery, and the two talked about supporting each other as Nick faced decisions about what came next. Elsewhere, Phyllis and Matt spent one last night together before Matt left to deal with Patty, with Matt promising he would return. Victoria and Kyle also narrowly avoided having their affair exposed and agreed they needed to be more careful.
