Y&R Recap | Phyllis Plots, Billy Schemes & Victor Looms - Monday, May 12, 2025 [SPOILERS]

In Monday's The Young and the Restless full episode recap, Phyllis is out for reinvention, Billy’s ready to play puppet master, and Victor’s enemies are multiplying—fast.

Phyllis Trades Abbott for Ambition 

Phyllis waltzes into Crimson Lights claiming she's only there for the caffeine, but we all know better. One chat with Daniel and suddenly she's pouring her heart out—oh, and looking absolutely fabulous while doing it. Apparently, she’s ditched Abbott Communications like last season’s shoes and is now on a soul-searching mission. Translation? She’s plotting a fresh power move, preferably involving her son and absolutely not involving Sally Spectra, who she thinks is only qualified to stitch throw pillows.

Billy’s Game of Thrones

Meanwhile, Billy’s out here getting verbally smacked around by Victor, but does he care? Not a bit. He’s cooking up a sneaky plan to pit Victor and Dumas against each other like it’s a high-stakes soap chess match. He claims he doesn’t care about Chancellor anymore, but let’s be real—he wants Victor to go up in flames while Abbott Communications rises like a phoenix. Sally’s raising an eyebrow, but Billy’s got that chaotic energy and she’s all in.

Claire’s Delusional Diplomacy—Victor Is Not That Guy

Claire is sipping the optimism Kool-Aid, thinking a picnic with Harrison might magically soften Victor’s icy heart. Girl, be serious. Kyle, ever the realist, reminds her that Victor doesn’t just hold grudges—he files them under “never forgive, never forget.” But Claire’s still clinging to her Hallmark fantasy that kindness and potato salad can fix the Newman family mess.

Mariah and Tessa’s Emotional Tornado

Over at the park, Mariah is falling apart, and Tessa’s trying to glue her back together. The Ian mess is still haunting them like a bad ex, and Mariah can’t even look at their daughter without spiraling.

Tessa & Mariah | Y&R

Tessa, bless her heart, suggests counseling, but Mariah’s halfway out the door with a vague apology. Later, Daniel finds Tessa crying alone and offers comfort. You know it’s serious when you’re sobbing into someone’s armpit in public.

Phyllis Wants an Empire—But Daniel Just Wants Peace

Phyllis isn’t done yet. She’s ready to build an empire, and she’s dragging Daniel along for the ride whether he likes it or not. She pitches a mother-son business revolution, while Daniel’s expression screams, “Is she serious right now?” He gently lets her down with a hard maybe, but we all know Phyllis doesn’t back down—she doubles down. She's determined to light a fire under both of them, even if Daniel’s still processing the wreckage Heather left behind.

Victor’s Wrath Inspires Another Crazy Plan

Claire’s still holding out hope, believing that if she and Kyle slow things down and show some effort, Victor might let go of his deep-rooted hatred. Kyle’s skeptical—like, majorly. He’s convinced there’s no thawing that icy heart. But Claire swears she knows a way to win him over. Good luck with that.

Phyllis the Eavesdropper and the Kiss That Spells Trouble

Just when you think things can’t get messier, Sally and Billy lock lips over their shared hatred of Victor and big plans for Abbott Communications. Too bad Phyllis is lurking nearby, catching every juicy word. Because of course she is. Expect her to weaponize that info faster than you can say "media empire."
