Billy’s Bombshell Rocks Jack’s World

Billy showed up at Society looking like a man carrying a heavy secret — and Jack was all ears. The tension was thick as Billy dropped the news that Cane’s not just eyeing Jabot or Chancellor; he’s aiming to take over Newman and Winters too. The guy’s got a full-on empire-building spree in motion, and Billy’s caught in the middle, torn between family and fury.

Jack couldn’t believe the audacity when Billy admitted Cane’s plan is so bold it’s basically an attack on all their families. And then came the kicker — Phyllis is backing Cane in this whole takeover scheme. Jack’s world tilted on its axis as he realized Billy might be playing a dangerous game by cozying up to Cane, and the brothers are nowhere near on the same page.

Victor’s Unlikely Proposal to Cane

Over at the ranch, Victor was in classic boss mode, goading Cane about his “early bedtime” while slipping in a serious question. Is Cane ready to team up and crush the Abbotts? Cane played it cool, reminding Victor he only wants Chancellor. Victor, though, smelled something fishy — all those new real estate moves Cane’s been making tell a different story.

Victor threw down the gauntlet: ditch Chancellor, focus on Jabot, and they’ll work together to wreck the Abbott empire. Cane took the jab about Nikki’s risky trade and shrugged it off like a pro, but it was clear this alliance could shake Genoa City to its core.

Phyllis and Cane’s Flirtation with Danger

Phyllis and Cane’s back-and-forth at the ranch was dripping with chemistry and sharp wit. Phyllis, ever the survivor, challenged Cane on trust while he teased her about her “assets” and hacking skills. Spoiler alert — Cane wants Phyllis to hack into Jabot, Newman, and Chancellor’s systems to “do some shopping.” Translation? Corporate espionage with a side of sass.

Phyllis tried to keep it real, warning Cane she’s been burned before and doesn’t play games with anyone who crosses her. But Cane wasn’t buying her bluff — he’s planning a full-scale takeover, and Phyllis might be his secret weapon.

Chelsea’s Tug of War Between Adam and Billy

At Crimson Lights, Chelsea found herself stuck in the middle of the family feud. Adam warned her about Billy’s real motives — this isn’t about business, it’s a personal vendetta. Chelsea, always the peacemaker, wants proof before taking sides but admits she might need to convince Billy to be honest. Adam rolled his eyes hard at Chelsea’s loyalty to her ex, knowing Billy’s thirst for revenge could burn everything down.
