The Young and the Restless Recap - Friday, June 13, 2025 | Phyllis Plots, Damian Digs and Daniel Dodges Drama

Things are getting messier than a Crimson Lights countertop on Y&R. Phyllis is off to charm her way into international mystery, Damian’s having an existential crisis with a side of suspicion, and Daniel? He’s just trying to strum his way to sanity without being smothered.

Phyllis Has a Passport and a Plan — And It’s Not Subtle

Phyllis is packing her bags and heading off to the South of France, but don’t think for a second it’s just for croissants and sunsets. No, this is a mission. She’s got her sights set on Aristotle Dumas, and she swears this mystery man is about to change her life. Because nothing says fresh start like flying across the globe for a party thrown by a stranger whose name sounds like a discontinued cologne.

Before she jets off, she makes her rounds. First, cornering Tessa (again) to make sure her son has a personal emotional babysitter. Tessa’s not buying that Daniel is spiraling — but Phyllis is already halfway to tears over her baby boy. She even makes a dramatic drop-in at Crimson Lights, much to the discomfort of Danny and Christine, who clearly didn’t order this level of drama with their coffee.

Daniel’s in Recovery, but Phyllis Can’t Let Go

Daniel’s trying to get his act together — guitar in hand, emotional support from Tessa, and absolutely no thanks to his meddling mother. He’s not seeing a professional (yet), but Tessa’s helping him untangle the thoughts in his head. He’s not ready to go into details, which only makes Phyllis dig harder. She even drops the bomb about his secret guitar lessons to his dad because she just can't keep her mouth shut.

Despite her usual overbearing ways, Phyllis claims she’s backed off. Daniel doesn’t look convinced. And when she begs him to play something for Daddy Dearest and Christine, Daniel declines with the politest version of “absolutely not.” But hey, baby steps.

Damian’s Past is Catching Up — and So Is Audra, Apparently

Damian’s juggling secrets, suspicions, and awkward family reunions. While Amy’s still dabbing away tears from the big secret she kept all these years, Damian’s trying to pretend he’s not still bitter. He swears he’s cool, but then admits he still wakes up angry some days. Closure? Pending. Trust? Questionable.

The buzz around Aristotle Dumas has Devon, Abby, and Lily side-eyeing each other like they’re in a live-action game of Clue. Devon is not about to let some mysterious mogul waltz in and mess with Winters, even if Abby insists Victor would never do anything shady. Cute, but no one’s buying that fantasy. Meanwhile, Audra finagled herself an invite to this exclusive bash by pitching a viral stunt. What that entails, nobody knows, but you can bet it’s going to involve heels, shade, and more questions than answers.

Christine Isn’t Jealous — She’s Just Not Buying the Nonsense

Back at Crimson Lights, Christine's giving Phyllis some serious side-eye as the redhead brags about her glamorous invite. Chris doesn’t care about Dumas or fancy French soirées — she’s got Danny and his secret spaghetti recipe, thank you very much. The tension between these two could be cut with a dull butter knife, and Daniel’s forced to play peacemaker, which honestly should qualify him for hazard pay.

Phyllis throws one last look over her shoulder before sashaying out: “Don’t get too comfortable, I’ll be back.” And no one doubts she’ll return — louder, bolder, and probably with a new plan to “help” Daniel whether he wants it or not.

Hold Onto Your Lattes, the Mystery’s Just Getting Started

Between Nate’s cryptic warnings, Damian’s unease, and a possible Dumas-Tucker twist in the works, the Winters crew better buckle up. No one knows who Dumas really is, or what he wants, but everyone’s acting like he’s about to drop a truth bomb with nuclear fallout.

With half of Genoa City heading to the South of France and the other half spiraling in paranoia, The Young and the Restless is teeing up for a showdown of secrets, shade, and probably a few broken wine glasses. Stay tuned.
