Victor Offers Phyllis Arabesque
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford, who shared details about Phyllis facing Victor and the family) is not going to jail for taking Victor’s (Eric Braeden) empire from him. But she still acts like she got a raw deal. She lost the company she claimed to have built for her kids.
But then, Phyllis decided to hand the company back to Victor. In a surprise twist, Victor suddenly gave Phyllis her own company. Phyllis found herself back in her office on Thursday’s episode. She complained to her portrait on the wall about losing everything as she packed up her belongings.
Victor arrived and presented her with a deal. Phyllis didn’t want to hear about it and promised to leave as soon as possible. Victor admitted that Christine (Lauralee Bell) dropped the charges and that he would like to give her what’s left of Cane’s (Billy Flynn) company, Arabesque.
It turns out that Arabesque wasn’t completely destroyed after all. Victor was just holding it over Cane’s head. Phyllis is aware that she could turn the remnants of this company into something that she’s proud of. She wanted to know what the catch was, but Victor was gone in a flash.
Is Victor Buying Phyllis’s Silence?
On Thursday, Victor called in Matt and the rest of the Newman family for a meeting. At that very moment, he asked everyone to treat Matt like a normal Genoa City resident and not to question his dark past. Later, Victor did the same with Phyllis, but without saying so directly.
But in doing so, Victor unveiled the true meaning behind his bizarre gift to Phyllis. Giving her official ownership of Arabesque wasn’t just a reward for Phyllis’s brief defeat of Victor. He was also buying her silence so she wouldn’t say anything about Matt to Cane or anyone, while Matt was carrying out Victor’s assignment.
It seems like Victor wants to use Phyllis and Arabesque as pawns in his plans to manipulate Cane. And he wants to ensure that Phyllis doesn’t blow his plan up. Will Phyllis stay silent?
