Summer Newman and Daniel Romalotti Jr. are increasingly alarmed by Phyllis’

sudden disappearance after returning to Genoa City. Their attempts to reach her prove futile,

and her absence from the family brunch—an event she herself insisted on—raises red flags.

Daniel, sensing something is off, reaches out to Billy Abbott in hopes of finding answers.

Billy reveals that Phyllis had contacted him earlier to update him on Daniel accepting a new position. At the time, she seemed upbeat and enthusiastic, giving Billy no reason to suspect anything was wrong. However, with no further communication from her, worry mounts. Billy speculates that Phyllis might have taken an impulsive trip to Chicago or gone on a last-minute date, but Daniel refuses to believe she would willingly let her loved ones worry like this. He is certain that if Phyllis were seeing someone, he would know about it. Summer, too, starts regretting not taking Daniel’s concerns more seriously the previous night.

Determined to reach his mother, Daniel leaves her a voicemail, pleading for her to check in. Billy follows up with another message, urging Phyllis to contact her children and assuring her that they are deeply worried. He even asks her to send a simple text confirming she’s okay. Sensing Billy’s growing concern, Sally Spectra questions whether he intends to cut his trip short and return to Genoa City. Billy, however, insists that Phyllis will likely turn up before he even boards his flight. Not wanting to disrupt his final night in Paris with Sally, he convinces himself that she’ll resurface soon.

Meanwhile, Summer takes decisive action by calling Chance Chancellor at the Genoa City Athletic Club, enlisting his help in locating Phyllis. Chance, though hesitant at first, agrees to investigate her disappearance. He acknowledges Daniel’s struggles and recognizes that finding Phyllis might be a chance to make amends for past conflicts. However, with no clear leads, Chance isn’t sure where to begin.

Elsewhere in Genoa City, Amy Lewis approaches Audra Charles and Nate Hastings with intriguing news. She believes that Damian Cain, once thought to have left for Los Angeles, might still be lingering nearby. She contemplates returning home, sensing that her presence in Genoa City may no longer be necessary. However, Audra suspects there’s more to the story. She recalls that Holden Novak recently reached out to her for a lunch meeting and wonders if he could hold the key to tracking down Damian.

Nate, though skeptical, acknowledges Audra’s intuition and suggests she meet with Holden—but with caution. He warns her not to fall under Holden’s spell again. Brushing off the warning, Audra reassures Nate that she won’t be swayed, but deep down, she knows this meeting could change everything.

As these events unfold, the mystery of Phyllis’ disappearance deepens, leaving Daniel and Summer desperate for answers. With Chance now on the case, new revelations are bound to surface, but whether they bring relief or more heartache remains to be seen.
