Phyllis and Victor: A Deal Made in Chaos
Phyllis Summers corners Victor Newman at the jazz lounge with something big to offer. But she doesn’t come cheap. She warns Victor that no information will be handed over until he gives her something in return.
This isn’t just gossip—Phyllis wants leverage. She’s already sworn that Billy Abbott will pay for wronging her. Teaming up with Victor may be her first power play to bring Billy down.
But there’s a twist: neither Phyllis nor Victor are trustworthy. Their alliance could blow up fast. Each one is playing their own game, and only time will tell who gets burned first.
The Young and the Restless Spoilers & Preview: Mariah and Tessa Hit a Breaking Point
Meanwhile, things take a heartbreaking turn for Mariah and Tessa. A quiet walk in the park turns into a deep confrontation. Tessa senses Mariah pulling away and can’t ignore the shift.
Tessa believes there are two reasons for the cold distance—either Mariah’s hiding something from her, or she’s holding a grudge. The Ian Ward situation weighs heavily on Tessa. She once encouraged Mariah to give him a chance. Now, that mistake haunts her.
Trying to fix things, Tessa suggests therapy or counseling. She’s desperate to keep their relationship afloat. But Mariah stops her with one painful confession.
Mariah reveals she isn’t mad at Tessa. In fact, she’s the one who needs forgiveness. She confided in Sharon about a drunken mistake on her recent trip. Now, she must face the fallout with her wife. Was it cheating? If so, this wouldn’t be Mariah’s first betrayal. Tessa has forgiven before—but can she do it again?
Claire’s Big Party Pitch: A Risky Move for Love
Elsewhere, Claire Newman sets a plan in motion. She shares her grand idea with Nikki and Victoria Newman—a family party that doubles as her strategy to win over Victor. Claire hopes to soften Victor’s stance on her relationship with Kyle Abbott. And with Nikki’s birthday around the corner, the timing feels perfect. She wants to host a celebration that brings the family together.
However, Victoria and Nikki are hesitant. They know how stubborn Victor can be, especially when it comes to who his family associates with. Both women gently urge Claire to manage her expectations. Still, Claire remains hopeful. She believes her sincerity and planning will prove her place in the family. Whether this bash will bridge divides or stir up more conflict remains to be seen.
This week, The Young and the Restless Spoilers & Preview promises emotionally charged moments and high-stakes decisions. Mariah’s secret threatens to destroy everything she’s built with Tessa. Claire’s party plan could unite—or further split—the Newmans. And Phyllis takes the first dangerous step in her quest for revenge.
