The sleek silver jet carrying the most influential people of Genoa City heads toward France, but the journey isn’t as glamorous as it seems. A private invitation from the enigmatic Aristotle Dumas lures them into a world that is shrouded in mystery and danger. Victor Newman, always in control, has his doubts about the motives behind this invitation, but his curiosity and the whispers of Dumas’s elusive power lead him to embark on this treacherous journey.
Flanked by Nikki, Sharon, Phyllis, and Nick, Victor enters this high-stakes game with one goal: answers. Dumas’s name has long been tied to shadowy business dealings, disappearances, and family betrayals across continents. Victor is no stranger to power plays, but this time, he senses that this game is different—more personal, more dangerous.

On board the plane, Phyllis Summers and Sharon Newman come face-to-face once again, and the tension between them is palpable. Phyllis, always sharp and calculating, views this trip as an opportunity to assert her influence, but when Sharon steps onto the plane unexpectedly, the rivalry reignites. Phyllis can’t stand surprises, especially when it comes to Sharon’s calm demeanor that always seems to hide something.
With sharp words and veiled threats, the two women size each other up. Phyllis isn’t one to back down, and Sharon knows how to keep her cool. The stakes are clear: impress Dumas, gain power, and survive the night. But only one woman can come out on top in this game of secrets and manipulation. Phyllis, with her razor-sharp wit, makes it clear to Sharon that she intends to win this battle of influence.
The Journey to Dumas’s Estate: An Unsettling Atmosphere
Arriving in France, the guests board a sleek, mysterious train headed for Dumas’s opulent estate. The train’s silence is eerie, and the sense of unease grows as they travel through the fog-drenched countryside. The atmosphere is deliberately oppressive, with no signal or communication with the outside world. It becomes clear that this is no ordinary business trip—it’s a carefully curated game designed to trap the most powerful players in Genoa City.
As they approach the estate, tensions among the group begin to rise. Victor, ever the strategist, senses that this journey is leading them into a carefully constructed labyrinth. Phyllis can’t shake the feeling that Dumas is watching them, carefully orchestrating their every move. Sharon, calm as ever, tries to keep her focus, but even she begins to feel the oppressive weight of the situation.
The Game Unfolds: Dumas’s True Motives Revealed
When the group finally arrives at Dumas’s estate, they are met by a silent, unreadable servant who leads them to a massive iron gate. Inside, the estate feels more like a prison than a luxurious getaway. They are ushered into separate rooms, each designed to force them to confront their own personal demons. For Victor, it’s a room full of betrayal and abandonment. For Sharon, it’s a deep dive into her past. For Phyllis, it’s a confrontation with her darkest secrets.
But the real revelation comes when Dumas’s presence is finally revealed—not as a myth, but as a man with a past intertwined with each of their own. He watches them from the shadows, calculating every move, every reaction.
Dumas’s Hidden Past and the Final Revelation
The shocking truth begins to surface: Dumas’s ties to the characters are more personal and far more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. The past is no longer a distant memory—it is alive, breathing, and threatening to destroy them all. As Dumas finally steps forward, revealing himself as a man from their past, the guests realize that they’ve been trapped in a game they didn’t understand, with a man they thought they could control.
As the night unfolds, it becomes clear that no one in the room is innocent. The game is not just about business—it’s about survival, and Dumas has spent years preparing for this moment. The ultimate question remains: will they make it out alive, both physically and reputationally?
